THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON, DOES ORDAIN as
follows:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Kent, Washington (the "City"), orders the
construction of a drainage system on 1St, P and 5th Avenues South, north of South 259d' Street in
South Kent, to convey stormwater to a detention pond and pump station adjacent to and south of the
property within the improvement area, with an outfall to the Green River, as more fully described
in Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
All of the foregoing shall be in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor
prepared by the Director of Public Works of the City, or consultants of the City, and may be
modified by the City Council as long as such modification does not affect the purpose of the
improvements.
Section 2. There is created and established a local improvement district to be called
Local Improvement District No. 352 of the City of Kent, Washington (the "District"), the
-2-
50093157.01
boundaries or territorial extent of the District being more particularly described in Exhibit B
attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
Section 3. The total estimated cost and expense of the improvements is declared to be
$777,590.21. It is estimated that approximately $91,975.04 of that cost and expense shall be
paid by the City, and that the estimated balance thereof, approximately $685,615.17, shall be
borne by and assessed against the property specially benefited by such improvements included in
the District which embraces as nearly as practicable all property specially benefited by such
improvements. Actual assessments may vary from estimated assessments as long as they do not
exceed a figure equal to the increased true and fair value of the improvements add to the
property.
Section 4. In accordance with the provisions of RCW 35.44.047, the City may use any
method or combination of methods to compute assessments which may be deemed to more fairly
reflect the special benefits to the properties being assessed than the statutory method of assessing
the properties.
Section 5. Local improvement district warrants may be issued in payment of the cost and
expense of the improvements herein ordered to be assessed, such warrants to be paid out of the
Local Improvement Fund, District No. 352, hereinafter created and referred to as the Local
Improvement Fund, and, until the bonds referred to in this section are issued and delivered to the
purchaser thereof, to bear interest from the date thereof at a rate to be established hereafter by the
Finance Division Director of the City, as issuing officer, and to be redeemed in cash and/or by
local improvement district bonds herein authorized to be issued, such interest-bearing warrants to
be hereafter referred to as "revenue warrants." In the alternative, the City hereafter may provide
by ordinance for the issuance of other short-term obligations pursuant to chapter 39.50 RCW.
-3-
50093157.01
If the City has made or shall authorize expenditures to be made for such improvements
(other than for any cost or expense expected to be borne by the City) prior to the date that any short-
term obligations or local improvement district bonds are issued to finance the improvements, from
proceeds of interfund loans or other funds that are not, and are not reasonably expected to be,
reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside to pay the cost of the improvements
herein ordered to be assessed against the property specially benefited thereby, the City declares its
official intent that those expenditures, to the extent not reimbursed with prepaid special benefit
assessments, are to be reimbursed from proceeds of short-term obligations or local improvement
district bonds that are expected to be issued for the improvements in a principal amount not
exceeding $685,615.17.
The City is authorized to issue local improvement district bonds for the District which shall
bear interest at a rate and be payable on or before a date to be hereafter fixed by ordinance. The
bonds shall be issued in exchange for and/or in redemption of any and all revenue warrants issued
hereunder or other short-term obligations hereafter authorized, including the interf ind loans
authorized by Section 6, and not redeemed in cash within twenty days after the expiration of the
thirty -day period for the cash payment without interest of assessments on the assessment roll for the
District. The bonds shall be paid and redeemed by the collection of special assessments to be levied
and assessed against the property within the District, payable in annual installments, with interest at
a rate to be hereafter fixed by ordinance under the mode of "payment by bonds," as defined by law
and the ordinances of the City. The exact form, amount, date, interest rate and denominations of
such bonds hereafter shall be fixed by ordinance of the City Council. Such bonds shall be sold in
such manner as the City Council hereafter shall determine.

Section 6. For the purpose of paying all or a part of the costs of carrying out the
improvements within the District pending the receipt of the proceeds of the issuance and sale of
the bonds or short-term obligations referred to in Section 5, interfund loans from the General
Fund, Water Fund and/or Sewer Fund to the Local Improvement Fund in the maximum
aggregate amount of not to exceed $685,615.17 are authorized and approved, those loans to be
repaid on or before the issuance of such bonds or obligations from the proceeds thereof. Each of
the interfund loans shall bear interest at a variable rate, adjusted the 15th and last day of each
month, equal to the interest rate of the State of Washington Local Government Investment Pool
on the 15th and last day of each month. The initial interest rate on the date of each interfund
loan shall be determined as of the last preceding interest payment adjustment date.
Section 7. In all cases where the work necessary to be done in connection with the
making of such improvements is carried out pursuant to contract upon competitive bids (and the
City shall have and reserves the right to reject any and all bids), the call for bids shall include a
statement that payment for such work will be made in cash warrants drawn upon the Local
Improvement Fund.
Section 8. The Local Improvement Fund for the District is created and established in the
office of the Finance Division Director of the City. The proceeds from the sale of revenue
warrants or other short-term obligations drawn against the fund which may be issued and sold by
the City and the collections of special assessments, interest and penalties thereon shall be
deposited in the Local Improvement Fund. Cash warrants to the contractor or contractors in
payment for the work to be done by them in connection with the improvements and cash
warrants in payment for all other items of expense in connection with the improvements shall be
issued against the Local Improvement Fund.

roll or abstract of such roll showing thereon the lots, tracts and parcels of land that will be
