(5) the carrying of insurance on the properties constituting the utility,
(6) the disposition of the proceeds of any such insurance, and
(7) other pertinent matters, deemed necessary by the governing body to assure the marketability of the bonds, provided such covenants are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Sub-part.
