ORDINANCE NO.a�3
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Kent, Washington,
relating to the water supply and distribution system
of the City; authorizing for the issuance of
$3,135,000 of Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, 1987, of
the City for the purpose of providing the funds to
refund, pay and retire its outstanding Water Revenue
Bonds, 1984; fixing the date, form, maturities,
interest rates, terms and covenants of those refund-
ing bonds; authorizing the purchase of certain
obligations and the use and application of the money
to be derived from such investments; authorizing the
execution of an agreement with Seattle -First National
Bank of Seattle, Washington, as Refunding Trustee;
providing for the payment and redemption of the bonds
to be refunded; and approving the sale and providing
for the delivery of such refunding bonds to Shearson
Lehman Brothers Inc., Foster & Marshall Division, of
Seattle, Washington.
WHEREAS, the City of Kent, Washington (the "City), has
heretofore issued under date of May 1, 1963, pursuant to
Ordinance No. 1178, its Water Revenue Bonds, 1963, Issue No. 1,
in the principal amount of $327,000 for the purpose of refunding
the then outstanding Water Revenue Bonds, 1959, of the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 9 of
Ordinance No. 1178, as amended by Ordinance No. 2118, the City
covenanted and agreed that it would not issue any Parity Revenue
Bonds (as therein defined) unless it should first satisfy the
following conditions:
"(a) At the time of the issuance of such Parity
Revenue Bonds there shall be no deficiency in either
the Principal and Interest Account or Reserve Account
of the Bond Fund.
"(b) The City shall have covenanted in each
ordinance authorizing the issuance of Parity Revenue
Bonds that it will establish, maintain and collect
rates and charges for water (and for sanitary sewage
disposal service in the event that the sanitary
sewerage system of the City ever becomes a part of
the Water System) for as long as any of the Bonds and
any Parity Revenue Bonds are outstanding as will make
available for payment of the principal of and inter-
est on all of such bonds, for mandatory sinking fund
payments, and for mandatory bond redemptions prior to
maturity, as the same shall become due, an amount
equal to at least 1.35 times the average annual
amount required for such payments, exclusive of the
principal requirements for any Term Bond Maturity
Year (unless the ordinance authorizing the issuance
of any such bonds requires that the rate coverage
obligation apply to the principal amount in a Term
Bond Maturity Year), after necessary costs of main-
tenance and operation of the Water System shall have
been paid, but before depreciation. The ordinance
authorizing such additional Parity [Revenue] Bonds
shall require that the payment of all such bonds
maturing in a Term Bond Maturity Year shall be
provided for by either a mandatory sinking fund or by
mandatory redemption thereof on or before their
maturity.
"(c) The City shall have covenanted in each
ordinance authorizing the issuance of Parity Revenue
Bonds that it will pay into the Reserve Account of
the Bond Fund within five years of the date of
issuance of such Parity Revenue Bonds an amount
which, with the money in the Reserve Account, will be
at least equal to the maximum annual debt service on
all then outstanding bonds payable from the Bond Fund
but not less than the next year's debt service on all
outstanding bonds, the principal of and interest on
which are payable out of the Bond Fund, and will
further provide in each such ordinance for additional
payments to be made into the Reserve Account if
necessary so that there shall be on deposit therein
at all times after each of those five-year periods an
amount at least equal to the next succeeding year's
debt service on all bonds payable out of the Bond
Fund. To satisfy the Reserve Account requirement,
the whole or any part of the money in any other
reserve fund or account of the City created to secure
the payment of the principal of or interest on any
revenue bonds or revenue coupon warrants being
refunded by such Parity Revenue Bonds may be trans-
ferred to the Reserve Account at the time such
outstanding bonds or warrants are redeemed.
"(d) At the time of the issuance of such Parity
Revenue Bonds, except the 'Water Revenue Bonds, 1963,
Issue No. 2,' the City shall have on file a certifi-
cate from an independent licensed professional
engineer showing that in his professional opinion the
net revenue of the Water System which will be avail-
able in each succeeding year for the payment of the
principal of and interest on, mandatory sinking funds
of, and mandatory redemptions of the Bonds, all bonds
payable from the Bond Fund then outstanding and the
Parity Revenue Bonds to be issued as all of the same
shall become due (except for those Bonds or any then
outstanding Parity Revenue Bonds that are to be
refunded by the Parity Revenue Bonds to be issued)
will equal at least 1.35 times the average annual
amount required for such payments, exclusive of the
principal requirement in any Term Bond Maturity Year
(unless the ordinance authorizing the issuance of any
such bonds requires that the rate coverage obligation
apply to the principal amount in a Term Bond Maturity
Year).

"For the purpose of the engineer's certificate,
the words net revenue of the Water System which will
be available . . . for the payment of the principal
of and interest on all of such bonds shall mean the
gross operating revenues and receipts of the Water
System after deducting therefrom all necessary
expenses of maintenance and operation thereof, but
before depreciation and annual debt service on all
outstanding revenue bonds or revenue coupon warrants
that may have a lien on the gross revenue of the
Water System junior and inferior to the lien thereon
for the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Bonds. The net revenue may be based on any
increase in revenues to be derived by an increase in
water rates and charges (and any charges for sanitary
sewage disposal service should the sanitary sewerage
system of the City ever be combined with the Water
System) authorized by the City Council to be effec-
tive by the time delivery of such Parity Revenue
Bonds is made. . . .";

WHEREAS, in order to effect such refunding in the manner
that will be most advantageous to the City, it is found neces-
sary and advisable that certain Acquired Obligations (herein-
after defined), bearing interest and maturing at such times as
are necessary to accomplish the refunding as aforesaid, be
purchased out of the proceeds of the Bonds and, as may be
- 6 -
necessary or desirable, other money of the City legally avail-
able therefor; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the
best interest of the City and its ratepayers to issue and sell

If any Bond is not redeemed upon proper presentment at its
maturity or call date, the City shall be obligated to pay
interest at the same rate for each such Bond from and after its
maturity or call date until such Bond, both principal and
interest, is paid in full or until sufficient money for such
payment in full is on deposit in the Bond Fund and such Bond has
been called for payment.
The Bonds shall be issued only in registered form as to
both principal and interest and recorded on the books and
records maintained by the Bond Registrar (the "Bond Register").
The Bond Register shall contain the name and mailing address of
the owner of each Bond and the principal amount and number of
Bonds held by each owner.
Both principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
Interest on the Bonds shall be paid by checks or drafts mailed
to the registered owners at the addresses appearing on the Bond
Register on the fifteenth day of the month preceding the inter-
est payment date or, when requested in writing by a registered
owner owning at least $100,000 principal amount of Bonds, shall
be paid on the interest payment date by wire transfer to the
account identified by the requesting registered owner whose
name, address and wire transfer account number appear on the
Bond Register fifteen days preceding the interest payment date.
Principal of the Bonds shall be payable upon presentation and
surrender of the Bonds by the registered owners at either office
of the Bond Registrar at the option of such owners. The Bonds
shall be payable solely out of the Bond Fund and shall not be
general obligations of the City.
Upon surrender thereof to the Bond Registrar, Bonds may be
exchanged for Bonds in any authorized denomination of an equal
aggregate principal amount and of the same interest rate and
maturity. Bonds may be transferred only if endorsed in the
manner provided thereon and surrendered to the Bond Registrar.
Such exchange or transfer shall be without cost to the owner or
transferee. The Bond Registrar shall not be required to
exchange or transfer any Bond during the fifteen days preceding
any principal payment or redemption date.
Section 4. Optional Redemption of Bonds; Open Market
Purchases. Bonds maturing in the years 1987 through 1997,
inclusive, shall be issued without the right or option of the
City to redeem the same prior to their stated maturities. The
City reserves the right and option to redeem the Bonds maturing
on or after December 1, 1998, as a whole, or in part in inverse
order of maturity (and by lot within a maturity in such manner
as the Bond Registrar shall determine), on December 1, 1997, and
on any interest payment date thereafter, at par plus accrued
interest to the date of redemption.
- 12 -
Portions of the principal amount of any Bond, in install-
ments of $5,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000, may be
redeemed. If less than all of the principal amount of any Bond
is redeemed, upon surrender of such Bond at either of the
principal offices of the Bond Registrar, there shall be issued
to the registered owner, without charge therefor, a new Bond (or
Bonds at the option of the registered owner) of like maturity
and interest rate in any of the denominations authorized by this
ordinance.
Notice of any such intended redemption shall be given not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the regis-
tered owner of any Bond to be redeemed at the address appearing
on the Bond Register. The requirements of this section shall be
deemed to be complied with when notice is mailed as herein
provided, whether or not it is actually received by the owner of
any Bond. The interest on the Bonds so called for redemption
shall cease on the date fixed for redemption unless such Bond or
Bonds so called are not redeemed upon presentation made pursuant
to such call. In addition, such redemption notice shall be
mailed within the same time period, postage prepaid, to Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., and Standard & Poor's Corporation at
their offices in New York, New York, or their successors, and to
Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc., Foster & Marshall Division, in
Seattle, Washington, or its successor, and to such other persons
and with such additional information as the City Finance
Director shall deem appropriate, but such mailings shall not be
a condition precedent to the redemption of such Bonds.
The City further reserves the right to purchase any or all
of the Bonds in the open market at a price not in excess of par
plus accrued interest to the date of such purchase.
- 13 -
Section 5. Payments into, Application of Money in and
Investments of Bond Fund; Authorization of Rebate Account. The
Bond Fund has, by Ordinance No. 1178, been divided into a
Principal and Interest Account and a Reserve Account. So long

City Finance Director shall set aside and pay into the Bond
Fund, in addition to the amounts covenanted to be paid therein
by the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Outstanding
Parity Bonds, out of the gross revenues of the Water System, a
fixed amount, without regard to any fixed proportion, on or
before the 20th day of each month as follows:
(a) There shall be paid into the Principal and
Interest Account, beginning with the month of April,
1987, an amount equal to at least 1/8 of the amount
of principal due on the Bonds on December 1, 1987,
and thereafter an amount equal to at least 1/12 of
the amount of principal due on the Bonds on the next
principal payment date and, in addition, beginning
with the month of April, 1987, an amount equal to at
least 1/8 of the amount of interest due on December
1, 1987, and thereafter at least 1/6 of the interest
to become due and payable on the next interest
payment date on all of the Bonds outstanding.
(b) Immediately upon the delivery of the Bonds,
$135,422 on deposit in the Reserve Account for the
1984 Bonds shall be credited to the required reserve
for the Bonds. In addition, there shall be paid into
the Reserve Account, in substantially equal monthly
payments and to be accumulated in full by no later
than December 1, 1989, an amount which, together with
the money in the Reserve Account, will be at least
equal to the maximum annual debt service on all then
outstanding bonds payable from the Bond Fund but not
less than the next year's debt service on all out-
standing bonds payable out of the Bond Fund, and the
City shall make additional payments into the Reserve
Account if necessary so that there shall be on
deposit therein at all times after such period an
amount at least equal to the next succeeding year's
debt service on all bonds payable out of the Bond
Fund until there is a sufficient amount in the
Principal and Interest Account and the Reserve
Account to pay the principal of, call premium, if
any, and interest on all bonds payable out of the
Bond Fund outstanding, at which time the money in the
Reserve Account may be used to pay such principal,
call premium, if any, and interest.
In the event that there shall be a deficiency in the
Principal and Interest Account to meet maturing installments of
- 14 -
either principal or interest, as the case may be, on, or the
mandatory redemption requirements of, any bonds payable out of
the Bond Fund, such deficiency shall be made up from the Reserve
Account by withdrawal of cash therefrom for that purpose. Any
deficiency created in the Reserve Account by reason of any such
withdrawals shall then be made up from the revenues of the Water
System first available after making necessary provisions for the
required payments into the Principal and Interest Account.
All money in the Reserve Account (i) may be kept in cash or
deposited in institutions permitted by law in an amount in each
institution not greater than the amount insured by any depart-
ment or agency of the United States Government, or (ii) may be
invested in any of the following investments, or (iii) may be
invested in other legal investments permitted to the City except
that, so long as the 1985 Refunding Bonds are outstanding, such
other legal investments must be approved by the insurer of those
1985 Refunding Bonds, having a guaranteed redemption price prior
to maturity or maturing not later than twelve years from the
date of purchase and, in no event, maturing later than the last
maturity of any bonds payable out of the Bond Fund outstanding

(c) above; and
(e) Deposits with any savings and loan insti-
tution operating under the laws of the State of
Washington having combined capital, surplus and

ments described in (a), (b) and (c) above.
Interest earned on any such investment or on such bank deposit
shall be deposited in and become part of the Reserve Account
until the total required reserve amount shall have been accumu-
lated therein, after which time such interest shall be deposited
in the Principal and Interest Account.
All money in the Principal and Interest Account (i) may be
kept in cash or deposited in institutions permitted by law in an
amount in each institution not greater than the amount insured
by any department or agency of the United States Government, or
(ii) may be invested in any of the above investments, or (iii)
may be invested in any other legal investments permitted to the
City except that, so long as the 1985 Refunding Bonds are
outstanding, such other legal investments must be approved by
- 16 -
the insurer of those 1985 Refunding Bonds, having a guaranteed
redemption price prior to maturity or maturing not later than
the date the funds are required for the payment of principal of
and interest on the Bonds. Interest earned on any such invest-
ment or on such bank deposit shall accrue to the Principal and
Interest Account.
The Finance Director of the City is authorized to establish
a special fund or account for the purpose of complying with the
covenants set forth in subsection 12(h) herein relating to
arbitrage rebate requirements. All earnings from the investment
of Bond proceeds, or money treated as Bond proceeds under the
1986 Code, including money in the Reserve Account and allocated

the Bonds determined under the 1986 Code, shall be deposited in
such fund or account, and any earnings therefrom shall be
retained therein until required by the 1986 Code to be paid to
the United States government or until it shall be determined
that such money is not required to be so paid. Such fund or
account shall be a trust fund established for the benefit of the
United States government.
Section 6. Pledqe of Revenues; Charqe on Lien of Bonds.
The gross revenues of the Water System of the City are pledged
to the payments as are required by this ordinance, and the Bonds
shall constitute a charge or lien upon such revenues prior and
superior to any other charges whatsoever, excluding charges for
operation and maintenance, except that the charge or lien upon
such gross revenues for the Bonds shall be on a parity with the
charge or lien upon such gross revenues for the Outstanding
Parity Bonds and for any Future Parity Bonds.
Section 7. Findings; Due Regard. In the judgment of the
City Council the gross revenues and benefits to be derived from
the operation and maintenance of the Water System at the rates
- 17 -
to be charged for water furnished on the entire utility will be
more than sufficient to meet all expenses of operation and
maintenance thereof and the debt service on the Outstanding
Parity Bonds, and to permit the setting aside into the Bond Fund
out of the gross revenues of the Water System of amounts suf-
ficient to pay the interest on the Bonds as such interest
becomes payable and to pay and redeem all of the Bonds at
maturity. The City Council and corporate authorities of the
City further declare that, in creating the Bond Fund and in
fixing the amounts to be paid into the same as aforesaid, they
have exercised due regard for the cost of operation and main-
tenance of the Water System and the debt service requirements of
the Outstanding Parity Bonds, and the City has not bound and
obligated itself to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund a
greater amount or proportion of the revenues of the Water System
than in the judgment of the City Council will be available over
and above such costs of operation and maintenance and debt
service and mandatory redemption requirements of the Outstanding
Parity Bonds and that no portion of the gross revenues of the
Water System have been previously pledged for any indebtedness
other than the Outstanding Parity Bonds.
Section 8. Disposition of Bonds Proceeds and Refundinq
Plana The accrued interest, if any, received from the purchaser
of the Bonds shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account of the Bond Fund. The principal proceeds of the sale of
the Bonds shall be deposited immediately upon the receipt
thereof with the Refunding Trustee to discharge the obligations
of the City under Ordinance No. 2501 authorizing the 1984 Bonds
by providing for the payment of the amounts required to be paid
by the Refunding Plan and to pay the cost of issuance and sale
of the Bonds. To the extent practicable, such obligations shall
be discharged fully by the Refunding Trustee's simultaneous
- 18 -
purchase of the Acquired Obligations, bearing such interest and
maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at
such times so as to provide, together with the beginning cash
balance (which may be increased or decreased), for the payments
required to be paid by the Refunding Plan.
The Acquired Obligations are more particularly described
and are set forth in Schedule A attached to the Refunding Trust
Agreement, but are subject to substitution as set forth below.
Prior to the purchase of any such Acquired Obligations, the
City reserves the right to substitute other Government
Obligations or obligations the principal of and interest on
which are guaranteed unconditionally by the United States of
America for any of the Acquired Obligations and to use any
savings created thereby for any lawful City purpose if, (a) in
the opinion of Roberts & Shefelman, the City's bond counsel, the
interest on the Bonds will remain excluded from gross income for
federal income tax purposes under Sections 103, 148 and 149(d)
of the 1986 Code and applicable regulations thereunder, and (b)
such substitution shall not impair the timely payment of the
amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan.
After the purchase of the Acquired Obligations by the
Refunding Trustee, the City reserves the right to substitute
therefor cash, Government Obligations or obligations the prin-
cipal of and interest on which are guaranteed unconditionally by
the United States of America, subject to the conditions that
such money or securities held by the Refunding Trustee shall be
sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan, making all required
payments when due, that such substitution will not cause the
Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of
the 1986 Code and regulations thereunder in effect on the date
of such substitution and applicable to obligations issued on the
issue date of the Bonds, and that the City obtains, at its
- 19 -
expense: (1) an independent verification by a nationally
recognized independent certified public accounting firm accept-
able to the Refunding Trustee concerning the adequacy of such
substituted securities with respect to the principal thereof and
the interest thereon and any other money or securities held for
such purpose to carry out the Refunding Plan, making all
required payments at the times provided; and (2) an opinion from
Roberts & Shefelman, bond counsel to the City, its successor, or
other nationally recognized bond counsel to the City to the
effect that the disposition and substitution or purchase of such
securities will not, under the statutes, rules and regulations
then in force and applicable to the Bonds, cause the interest on
the Bonds or the 1984 Bonds not to be excluded from gross income
for federal income tax purposes and that such disposition and
substitution or purchase is in compliance with the statutes and
regulations applicable to the Bonds. Any surplus money result-
ing from the sale, transfer, other disposition or redemption of
the Acquired Obligations and the substitutions therefor shall be
released from the trust estate and transferred to the City to be
used for any lawful City purpose.
Section 9. Appointment and Duties of Refunding Trustee;
Execution of Refunding Trust Agreement. Seattle -First National
Bank of Seattle, Washington, is appointed as Refunding Trustee.
The Refunding Trustee is authorized and directed to purchase the
Acquired Obligations and to make the payments required to be
made by the Refunding Plan from the Acquired Obligations and
money deposited with the Refunding Trustee pursuant to Section 8
of this ordinance. All Acquired Obligations and the money
deposited with the Refunding Trustee and any income therefrom
shall be held, invested and applied in accordance with the
- 20 -
provisions of Ordinance No. 2501, this ordinance, Chapter 39.53
RCW and other applicable statutes of the State of Washington.
All necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of
the Refunding Trustee and all other costs incidental to the
setting up of the escrow to accomplish the refunding of the 1984
Bonds and costs related to the issuance and delivery of the
Bonds, including bond printing, rating service fees, bond
counsel's fees and other related expenses, shall be paid out of
the proceeds of the Bonds.
In order to carry out the Refunding Plan provided for by
this ordinance, the Mayor and City Clerk of the City are author-
ized and directed to execute a Refunding Trust Agreement sub-
stantially in the form on file with the City Clerk and by this
reference made a part hereof setting forth the duties, obliga-
tions and responsibilities of the Refunding Trustee in connec-
tion with the payment, redemption and retirement of the 1984
Bonds as provided herein and stating that such provisions for
the payment of the fees, compensation and expenses of such
Refunding Trustee are satisfactory to it.
Section 10. Call for Redemption of 1984 Bonds. The City
calls for redemption on December 1, 1994, all of the outstanding
1984 Bonds at a price of 102% of par plus accrued interest to
the date of such redemption.
Such call for redemption shall be irrevocable after the
delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser thereof. The
date on which the 1984 Bonds are herein called for redemption is
the first date on which such bonds may be called at a premium of
three percent or less.
The proper City officials are authorized and directed to
give such notices as are required, at the times and in the
manner required, pursuant to Ordinance No. 2501, in order to
- 21 -
effect the redemption prior to their maturity of the 1984 Bonds
on December 1, 1994.
Section 11. Findings Regarding Refunding. The City
Council finds and determines that the issuance and sale of the
Bonds at this time will effect a saving to the City and its
ratepayers and is in the best interest of the City and in the
public interest. In making such finding and determination, the
City Council has given consideration to the fixed maturities of
the Bonds and the 1984 Bonds, the costs of issuance of the Bonds
and the known earned income from the investment of the proceeds
of sale of the Bonds used in the Refunding Plan pending payment
and redemption of the 1984 Bonds.
The City Council further finds and determines that the
money to be deposited with the Refunding Trustee for the 1984
Bonds in accordance with Section 8 of this ordinance will
discharge and satisfy the obligations of the City under
Ordinance No. 2501 with respect to the 1984 Bonds and the
pledges, charges, trusts, covenants and agreements of the City
therein made or provided for as to the 1984 Bonds and that
immediately upon the deposit of such money with the Refunding
Trustee the 1984 Bonds no longer shall be deemed to be outstand-
ing under such ordinance.
Section 12. Covenants. The City covenants and agrees with
the owner of each Bond at any time outstanding, as follows:
(a) It will establish, maintain and collect
such rates and charges for water service (and for
sanitary sewage disposal service should the sanitary
sewerage system of the City ever be combined with the
Water System) so long as any Bonds are outstanding as
will make available for the payment of the principal
of and interest on the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the
Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds an amount equiva-
lent to at least 1.35 times the average annual amount
required for the payment of all principal of and
interest on such bonds, for mandatory sinking fund
payments, and for mandatory bond redemptions prior to
maturity, exclusive of the principal requirement in
- 22 -
any Term Bond Maturity Year (unless the ordinance
authorizing the issuance of any such bonds requires
that the rate coverage obligation apply to the
principal amount in a Term Bond Maturity Year), after
necessary costs of operation and maintenance of the
Water System shall have been paid, but before
depreciation.
(b) It will at all times maintain and keep the
Water System and all additions thereto and better-
ments, replacements and extensions thereof in good
repair, working order and condition and also will at
all times operate the Water System and the business
in connection therewith in an efficient manner and at
a reasonable cost.
(c) It will not sell, lease, mortgage, or in
any manner encumber or dispose of all of the property
of the Water System unless provision is made for
payment into the Bond Fund of a sum sufficient to pay
the principal of and interest on all bonds payable
from the Bond Fund at that time outstanding, and it
will not sell, lease, mortgage, or in any manner
encumber or dispose of any part of the property of
the Water System unless provision is made for
replacement thereof or for payment into the Bond Fund
of the total amount of revenue received, which shall
not be less than an amount which shall bear the same
ratio to the amount of outstanding bonds payable from
the Bond Fund as the revenue available for debt
service for those outstanding bonds for the twelve
months preceding such sale, lease, mortgage, encum-
brance or disposal from the portion of the Water
System sold, leased, mortgaged, encumbered or dis-
posed of bears to the revenue available for debt
service for such bonds from the entire Water System
for the same period. Any money so paid into the Bond
Fund shall be used to retire such outstanding bonds
at the earliest possible date.
(d) It will, while any of the Bonds remain
outstanding, keep proper and separate accounts and
records in which complete and separate entries shall
be made of all transactions relating to its Water
System and it will furnish the original purchaser of
the Bonds or any subsequent purchaser or owners
thereof at the written request of such purchaser or
owners, complete operating and income statements of
the Water System in reasonable detail covering any
calendar year not more than ninety days after the
close of such calendar year. It will grant any owner
or owners of at least twenty-five percent of the
outstanding Bonds the right at all reasonable times
to inspect the Water System and all records, accounts
and data of the City relating thereto. Upon the
request of any owner of any of the Bonds, it will
furnish such owner a copy of the most recently
completed audit of the City's accounts by the State
Auditor of Washington.
- 23 -
(e) It will not furnish any water (or any
sanitary sewage disposal service should the sanitary
sewerage system ever be combined with the Water
System) to any customer whatsoever free of charge,
and it will promptly take legal action to enforce the
collection of all delinquent accounts.
(f) It will carry the types of insurance on its
Water System properties in the amounts normally
carried by private water companies engaged in the
operation of water systems, and the cost of such
insurance shall be considered a part of operating and
maintaining the Water System. If, as, and when the
United States of America or some agency thereof shall
provide for war risk insurance, the City further
agrees to take out and maintain such insurance on all
or such portions of the Water System on which such
war risk insurance may be written in an amount or
amounts to cover adequately the value thereof.
(g) It will pay all costs of operation and
maintenance of the Water System and the debt service
requirements for the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the
Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds and otherwise meet
the obligations of the City as herein set forth.
(h) It will take all actions necessary to
prevent the interest on the Bonds from being included
in gross income for federal income tax purposes and
will neither take any action nor make or permit any
use of proceeds of the Bonds or other funds of the
City at any time during the term of the Bonds which
will cause the interest on the Bonds to be included
in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Further, if all proceeds of the Bonds have not been
spent within six months from the date of issuance of
the Bonds, it will calculate, or cause to be calcu-
lated, and rebate to the United States all earnings
from the investment of Bond proceeds that are in
excess of the amount that would have been earned had
the yield on such investments been equal to the yield
on the Bonds, plus all income derived from such
excess earnings, to the extent and in the manner
required by Section 148 of the 1986 Code and such
applicable regulations. In the event it shall fail
to meet the rebate requirements applicable to the
Bonds under Section 148 of the 1986 Code, to the
extent permitted by that Section, it shall pay the
penalty provided in Subsection 148(f)(7)(C) if
required to prevent a loss of the exclusion from
gross income for federal tax purposes of the interest
on the Bonds.
It has not been notified of any listing or
proposed listing by the Internal Revenue Service to
the effect that it is a bond issuer whose arbitrage
certifications may not be relied upon.
Section 13. Future Parity Bonds; Junior Lien Obligations.
The City covenants and agrees with the owner of each Bond
- 24 -
payable from the Bond Fund at that time outstanding that it will
not issue any Future Parity Bonds unless it first shall satisfy
the conditions set forth in Section 9 of Ordinance No. 1178, as
amended by Section 10 of Ordinance No. 2118, which sections are
by reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof and
shall be applicable to the Bonds so long as any of the same are
outstanding.
Nothing contained in this section shall prevent the City
from issuing revenue bonds or warrants, the payment of the
principal of and interest on which is a charge upon the gross
revenues of the Water System junior and inferior to the payments
required to be made out of such gross revenues into the Bond
Fund.
Section 14. Application of Revenues. The gross revenues
from the operation of the Water System shall be allocated as
follows:
(a) To pay the necessary costs of operation and
maintenance of the Water System;
(b) To make all required payments into the Bond
Fund in amounts sufficient to pay principal and
interest as the same shall become due on all bonds
payable out of the Bond Fund;
(c) To make all payments required to be made
into the Reserve Account in the Bond Fund;
(d) To make all payments required to be made
into the bond redemption funds for any junior lien
water revenue bonds hereafter issued;
(e) To make necessary additions, betterments
and improvements and repairs to or extensions and
replacements of the Water System, or for any other
proper purposes connected with the operation of the
Water System for which such money may be lawfully
used; and
(f) To retire by redemption or purchase water
revenue bonds of the City outstanding as authorized
in various bond ordinances of the City.
Section 15. Form, Execution and Authentication of Bonds.
The Bonds shall be printed or lithographed on good bond paper in
- 25 -
a form consistent with the provisions of this ordinance and
State law, shall be signed by the Mayor and City Clerk, both of
whose signatures shall be in facsimile, and a facsimile repro-
duction of the seal of the City shall be printed thereon.
Only such Bonds as shall bear thereon a Certificate of
Authentication in the following form, manually executed by the
Bond Registrar, shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or
entitled to the benefits of this ordinance:

WASHINGTON STATE FISCAL AGENCY
Bond Registrar
By
Authorized Officer
Such executed Certificate of Authentication shall be conclusive
evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly exe-
cuted, authenticated and delivered hereunder and are entitled to
the benefits of this ordinance.
In case either or both of the officers who shall have
executed the Bonds shall cease to be such officer or officers of
the City before the Bonds so signed shall have been authenti-
cated or delivered by the Bond Registrar or issued by the City,
such Bonds nevertheless may be authenticated, delivered and
issued and upon such authentication, delivery and issue shall be
as binding upon the City as though those whose facsimile signa-
tures appear on the Bonds had continued to be such officers of
the City. Any Bond also may be signed on behalf of the City by
such persons as at the actual date of execution of such Bond
shall be proper officers of the City authorized to execute Bonds
although on the original date of such Bond such persons were not
such officers of the City.
- 26 -
Section 16. Registration of Bonds. The Bond Registrar
shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its principal corporate
trust office, sufficient books for the registration and transfer
of the Bonds which shall at all times be open to inspection by
the City. The Bond Registrar is authorized, on behalf of the
City, to authenticate and deliver Bonds transferred or exchanged
in accordance with the provisions of such Bonds and this ordi-
nance, to serve as the City's paying agent for the Bonds and to
carry out all of the Bond Registrar's powers and duties under
this ordinance and Ordinance No. 2418 establishing a system of
registration for the City's bonds and obligations.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its repre-
sentations contained in the Bond Registrar's Certificate of
Authentication on the Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the
owner of Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not
the Bond Registrar and, to the extent permitted by law, may act
as depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to
act as members of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any
committee formed to protect the rights of Bond owners.
Section 17. Negotiability of Bonds. The Bonds shall be
negotiable instruments to the extent provided by RCW 62A.8-102
and 62A.8-105.
Section 18. Advance Refunding and Defeasance. In the
event the City shall issue advance refunding bonds pursuant to
the laws of the State of Washington, or have money available
from any other lawful source, to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds or such portion thereof included in that
refunding plan as the same become due and payable and to refund
all such then outstanding Bonds and to pay the costs of refund-
ing, and shall have set aside irrevocably in a special fund for
and pledged to such payment and refunding, money and/or
- 27 -
Government Obligations sufficient in amount, together with known
earned income from the investments thereof, to make such pay-
ments and to accomplish the refunding as scheduled (hereinafter
called the "trust account"), and irrevocably shall make provi-
sion for redemption of such Bonds, then in that case all right
and interest of the owners of the Bonds to be so retired or
refunded (hereinafter collectively called the "defeased Bonds")
in the covenants of this ordinance, except with respect to the
provisions of subsection 12(h) hereof, in the gross revenues of
the Water System and in funds and accounts obligated to the
payment of such Bonds, other than the right to receive the funds
so set aside and pledged, thereupon shall cease and become void,
except such owners shall have the right to receive payment of
the principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds from the
trust account and, in the event the funds in the trust account
are not available for such payment, shall have the residual
right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the
defeased Bonds from the gross revenues of the Water System
without any priority of lien or charge against such revenue or
covenants with respect thereto except to be paid therefrom.
After the establishing and full funding of such trust
account, the City then may apply any money in any other fund or
account established for the payment or redemption of the
defeased Bonds to any lawful purposes as it shall determine,
subject only to the rights of the owners of any other bonds then
outstanding.
In the event that the refunding plan provides that the
Bonds being refunded or the refunding bonds to be issued be
secured by cash and/or Government Obligations pending the prior
redemption of those Bonds being refunded and if such refunding
plan also provides that certain cash and/or Government
Obligations are pledged irrevocably for the prior redemption of
those Bonds included in that refunding plan, then only the debt
service on the Bonds which are not defeased Bonds and the
refunding bonds, the payment of which is not so secured by the
refunding plan, shall be included in the computation of coverage
for the issuance of Future Parity Bonds and the annual computa-
tion of coverage for determining compliance with the rate
covenants.
Section 19.
Sale and Delivery of Bonds. Shearson Lehman
Brothers Inc., Foster & Marshall Division, of Seattle,
Washington, has presented a purchase contract dated March 17,
1987 (the "Purchase Contract"), to the City offering to purchase
the Bonds under the terms and conditions provided in the
Purchase Contract and with the Refunding Trustee to subscribe on
behalf of the City for the Acquired Obligations at the prices
specified in Schedule A of the Refunding Trust Agreement (sub-
ject to substitution), which written Purchase Contract is on
file with the City Clerk and is incorporated herein by this
reference. The City Council finds that entering into the
Purchase Contract is in the best interest of the City and its
ratepayers and, therefore, accepts the offer contained in the
Purchase Contract and authorizes its execution by City officials.
The Bonds will be printed at City expense and will be
delivered to the purchaser in accordance with the Purchase
Contract, with the approving legal opinion of Roberts &
Shefelman, municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington,
relative to the issuance of the Bonds, printed on each Bond.
Bond counsel shall not be required to review and shall express
no opinion concerning the completeness or accuracy of any
official statement, offering circular or other sales material
arms
issued or used in connection with the Bonds, and bond counsel's
opinion shall so state.
The proper City officials are authorized and directed to do
everything necessary for the prompt delivery of the Bonds to the
purchaser, including without limitation the execution of the
Official Statement on behalf of the City, and for the proper
application and use of the proceeds of the sale thereof.
Section 20. Temporary Bond. Pending the printing, execu-
tion and delivery to the purchaser of the definitive Bonds, the
City may cause to be executed and delivered to such purchaser a
single temporary Bond in the principal amount of the Bonds.
Such temporary Bond shall bear the same date of issuance,
interest rates, principal payment dates and terms and covenants
as the definitive Bonds, shall be issued as a fully registered
Bond in the name of such purchaser, and shall be in such form as
acceptable to such purchaser. Such temporary Bond shall be
exchanged for the definitive Bonds as soon as the same are
printed, executed and available for delivery.
Section 21. Severability. In the event that any one or
more of the provisions contained in this ordinance shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall
not affect any other provisions of this ordinance, but this
ordinance shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
