the cost or any part thereof is being paid by the Commonwealth as
authorized by this chapter;
(b) Pay the principal of and interest on the project revenue bonds; and
(c) Create reserves not to exceed amounts specified in the development
agreement.
Unless a transfer of ownership of a project occurs pursuant to KRS 175B.095,
the developing authority shall at all times maintain ownership and control of all
tolls and other revenues generated by the project. Tolls shall not be subject to
supervision or regulation by any other department, division, authority, board,
bureau, or agency of a local government or the Commonwealth.
(a) The tolls and all other revenues derived from the project, except those
revenues necessary to pay the cost of maintenance, repair, and operation
and to establish and maintain reserves as may be provided for in the
authorization of the issuance of the project revenue bonds or in the trust
indenture securing the project revenue bonds, shall be set aside in a
sinking fund which shall be pledged to, and charged with, the payment of
principal and interest on the project revenue bonds as they become due,
and the redemption price or the purchase price of project revenue bonds
retired by call or purchase as provided in the authorization of issuance.
(b) The pledge of the sinking fund shall be valid and binding from the time
when the pledge is made.
(c) The tolls or other revenues received and pledged by the developing
authority shall immediately be subject to the lien of the pledge without any
physical delivery or further action, and the lien on any pledge shall be
valid and binding against all parties having claims of any kind in tort,
contract, or otherwise against the developing authority, whether the
parties have received notice or not.
(d) Neither the proceedings nor any trust indenture by which a pledge is
created need be filed or recorded, except in the records of the issuing
authority.

be subject to the provisions of the proceedings authorizing the issuance
of the project revenue bonds or the trust indenture.
