Both principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be

Interest on the Bonds shall be paid by check or draft mailed

to transfer any Bond during the fifteen days preceding any

and 62A.8-105.
Section 5. The City reserves the right and option to
redeem Bonds Nos. 135 to 297, inclusive, maturing on January 1,
2002, prior to their maturity date on January 1, 1988, and on
any interest payment date thereafter, in numerical order, lowest
- 10 -
numbers first, at par plus accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption, and shall redeem such Bonds on those dates
whenever there shall be sufficient money in the Principal and
Interest Account (at the time when the call for such redemption
can be made) to pay the Bonds so called and all earlier numbered
Bonds over and above the amount required for the payment of the
interest on all unpaid Bonds.
After the payment and redemption of Bonds Nos. 135 to 297,
inclusive, the City reserves the right and option to redeem
Bonds Nos. 1 to 134, inclusive, maturing in the years 1993 to
1998, inclusive, prior to their stated maturity dates on
January 1, 1992, and on any interest payment date thereafter, in
numerical order, lowest numbers first, at par plus accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption.
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
registered owner of any Bond to be redeemed at the address

section shall be deemed to be complied with when notice is
mailed as herein provided, whether or not it is actually

redeemed upon presentation made pursuant to such call. In
addition, such redemption notice shall be mailed within the same
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 Harper, McLean & Company at
its office in Seattle, Washington, or its successor, but such

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION
This bond is one of the fully registered City of
Winslow, Washington, Water and Sewer Revenue
Refunding Bonds, 1987, described in the Bond
Ordinance.
WASHINGTON STATE FISCAL AGENCY
Bond Registrar
By
Authorized Officer
Such Certificate of Authentication shall be conclusive evidence
that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly executed,
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
- 12 -
be as binding upon the City as though those whose facsimile
signatures 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.
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 in accordance with the provisions of the Bonds
and this ordinance, 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.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its represen-
tations 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 depositary 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 8. There is created in the office of the City
Clerk-Treasurer a special fund to be known as the Water and
Sewer Revenue Refunding Bond Fund, 1987 (herein defined as the
"Bond Fund"), which fund is divided into two accounts, namely,
the Principal and Interest Account and the Reserve Account. So
long as any Bonds or Future Parity Bonds are outstanding against
the Bond Fund, the City shall set aside and pay into the Bona
Fund all ULID Assessments upon their collection and, out of the
- 13 -
Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, certain fixed amounts
without regard to any fixed proportion, namely:
(a) Into the Principal and Interest Account
prior to each interest or principal and interest
payment date an amount, together with other money on
deposit therein, sufficient to pay the interest or
principal and interest next coming due, and, on or
before January 1, 2002, an amount, together with
other money on deposit therein sufficient to redeem
all of the remaining outstanding Bonds.
(b) Into the Reserve Account, the Reserve
Requirement for the Bonds.
Upon retirement of all Prior Lien Bonds, the City will
transfer any and all funds in the reserve account for the Prior
Lien Bonds to the Reserve Account to the extent necessary to
fund fully the Reserve Requirement for all outstanding Bonds and
any then outstanding Future Parity Bonds. Any remaining funds
in the reserve account for the Prior Lien Bonds may be expended
for any lawful Waterworks Utility purpose.
Except for withdrawals therefrom as authorized herein, the
Reserve Account shall be maintained at such total Reserve
Requirement amount for all bonds payable from the Bond Fund, at
all times so long as any of such bonds are outstanding. When
the total amount in the Bond Fund shall equal the total amount
of principal and interest for all outstanding bonds payable out
of the Bond Fund to the last maturity thereof, no further
payment need be made into the Bond Fund.
In the event that there shall be a deficiency in the
Principal and Interest Account in the Bond Fund to meet maturing
installments of either principal or interest, as the case may
be, such deficiency shall be made up from the Reserve Account by
the withdrawal of cash therefrom for that purpose. Any defi-
ciency created in the Reserve Account by reason of any such
withdrawals shall then be made up from the Net Revenue of the
Waterworks Utility first available after making necessary
provisions for the required payments into the Principal and
- 14 -
Interest Account. The money in the Reserve Account shall
otherwise be held intact and may be applied against the last
outstanding bonds payable out of the Bond Fund, except that if
the Reserve Account is fully funded, any money in excess of the
Reserve Requirement may be withdrawn and expended for the
purpose of retiring bonds payable from the Bond Fund or for any
other lawful Waterworks Utility purpose.
The City may provide for the purchase, redemption or
defeasance of bonds payable from the Bond Fund by the use of
money on deposit in any account in the Bond Fund as long as the
money remaining in those accounts is sufficient to satisfy the
required deposits in those accounts for the remaining bonds
outstanding payable from the Bond Fund.
All money in the Bond Fund may be kept in cash or invested
in legal investments maturing not later than the date when the
funds are required for the payment of principal of or interest
on the outstanding bonds payable from the Bond Fund (for
investments in the Principal and Interest Account) or having a
guaranteed redemption price prior to maturity and, in no event,
maturing later than the last maturity of any remaining outstand-
ing bonds payable from the Bond Fund (for investments in the
Reserve Account). Earnings from investments in the Principal
and Interest Account shall be deposited in that account. Income
from investments in the Reserve Account shall be deposited in
that account until the amount therein is equal to the Reserve
Requirement of all bonds payable from the Bond Fund, and
thereafter shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account.
Notwithstanding the provisions for the deposit of earnings,
any earnings which are subject to a federal tax or rebate
requirement may be withdrawn from the Bond Fund for deposit into
a separate fund or account for that purpose.
- 15 -
In no event shall any money in the Bond Fund or any other
money reasonably expected to be used to pay principal of or
interest on the Bonds be invested at a yield which would cause
the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section
148 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and
applicable regulations thereunder.
The City may create sinking fund accounts or other accounts
in the Bond Fund for the payment or securing the payment of
bonds payable from the Bond Fund as long as the maintenance of
such accounts does not conflict with the rights of the owners of
bonds payable from the Bond Fund.
If the City fails to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund
the amounts set forth above, the owner of any of the outstanding
bonds payable out of the Bond Fund may bring action against the
City and compel such setting aside and payment.
Section 9. The Gross Revenue of the Waterworks Utility and
ULID Assessments are pledged to the payment of the Bonds and any
Future Parity Bonds, and the Bonds and such Future Parity Bonds,
if any, shall constitute a lien and charge upon such Gross
Revenue and ULID Assessments prior and superior to any other
charges whatsoever, excluding Maintenance and Operation Expense,
except that the lien and charge on the Gross Revenue for the
Bonds and Future Parity Bonds, if any, shall be junior and
subordinate to the lien and charge upon the revenue of the water
system of the Water Revenue Bonds, 1962, Water Revenue Bonds,
1967, and Water Revenue Bonds, 1972, and the revenue of the
sewer system of the Sewer Revenue Bonds, 1959. The City
covenants that it will not issue any additional bonds on a
parity of lien with any of the outstanding Prior Lien Bonds.
Section 10. The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds,
exclusive of the accrued interest and premium, if any, thereon
paid into the Bond Fund, together with the amount of
- 16 -
approximately $269,000 (which amount may be increased or
decreased as required when the exact price of the Acquired
Obligations as hereinafter defined is ascertained) transferred
from the 1980 Bonds reserve account, shall be deposited
immediately upon the receipt thereof with the Refunding Trustee
to discharge the obligations of the City relating to the 1980
Bonds under Ordinance No. 80-14 authorizing such 1980 Bonds by
providing for the payment of the amounts required to be paid by
the Refunding Plan and to pay the costs of issuance and sale of
the Bonds. To the extent practicable, such obligations shall be
discharged fully by the Refunding Trustee's simultaneous
purchase of United States Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness,
Notes and/or Bonds - State and Local Government Series and/or
other Government Obligations authorized to be acquired with
proceeds of refunding bonds under the Refunding Bond Act of the
State of Washington, Chapter 39.53 RCW (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, if any
(which may be increased or decreased), for the payment of the
amounts required to be made by the Refunding Plan.
The Acquired Obligations are more particularly described
and are set forth in Schedule A attached to the Refunding Trust
Agreement hereinafter referred to, but are subgect to substitu-
tion as set forth below.
Prior to the purchase of any such Acquired Obligations, the
City reserves the right to substitute other Government
Obligations for any of the Acquired Obligations and to use any
Savings created thereby for any lawful City purpose if, in the
opinion of Roberrs & Shefelman, the City's bond counsel, (a) the
Bonds will remain exempt from federal income taxation under
Sections 103, 148, and 149(d) of the United States Internal
- 17-
Revenue Code of 1986, 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 money or other Government Obligations, subject to the
conditions that such money and Government Obligations 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 the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and
regulations thereunder in effect on the date of such substitu-
tion and applicable to obligations issued on the issue date of
the Bonds, and that the City obtains, at its expense, the
following: (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 Government Obligations with respect to the principal
thereof and the interest thereon and any other money or Govern-
ment Obligations 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 recog-
nized bond counsel, to the effect that the disposition and
substitution or purchase of such Government Obligations will
not, under the statutes, rules and regulations then in force and
applicable to the Bonds, cause the interest on the Bonds not to
be exempt from federal income taxation and that such disposition
and substitution or purchase is in compliance with the statutes
and regulations applicable to the Bonds. Any surplus money
resulting from the sale, transfer, other disposition or redemp-
tion 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.
Any money remaining in the 1980 Bonds reserve account after
the transfers to the Refunding Trustee, as provided in this
section, and the Reserve Account, as provided in Section 1,
shall be deposited in the appropriate account in the Waterworks
Utility to be used to pay the costs of a study to be authorized
for utility purposes, and, if not so used, to be deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account.
Section 11. 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 10 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 provisions of Ordinance No. 80-14, 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 for the Bonds and all other costs inci-
dental to the setting up of the escrow to accomplish the
refunding of the 1980 Bonds and costs relating to the issuance
and delivery of the Bonds, including bond printing, rating
service fees, escrow verification and computation 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 purposes of this ordinance, the
Mayor and City Clerk-Treasurer are authorized and directed to
execute a Refunding Trust Agreement substantially in the form on
file with the City Clerk-Treasurer and by this reference made a
- 19 -
part hereof, setting forth the duties, obligations and responsi-
bilities of the Refunding Trustee in connection with the
payment, redemption and retirement of the 1980 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. Prior to executing the Refunding Trust
Agreement, the Mayor and City Clerk-Treasurer are authorized to
make such changes therein which do not change the substance and
purpose thereof or which assure that the escrow provided therein
and the Bonds are in compliance with the requirements of federal
law governing the exemption of the interest on the Bonds from
federal income taxation.
Section 12. The City calls for redemption on July 1, 1987,
1980 Bonds Nos. 255 to 354, inclusive, at par plus accrued
interest to the date of such redemption and the City calls for
redemption on January 1, 1990, 1980 Bonds Nos. 355 to 564,
inclusive, at 103% of par plus accrued interest to the date of
such redemption.
Such calls for redemption shall be irrevocable after the
delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser thereof. The
dates on which the 1980 Bonds are herein called for redemption
are the first dates on which the 1980 Bonds may be called at a
premium of 3 percent or less.
The proper City officials are authorized and directed to
give such notice as required, at the time and in the manner
required, pursuant to Ordinance No. 80-14, in order to effect
the redemption prior to their maturity of the 1980 Bonds.
Section 13. The City covenants and agrees with the owner
of each Bond and Future Parity Bond at any time outstanding, as
follows:
(a) It will establish, maintain and collect
such rates and charges for water and sanitary sewage
disposal service so long as any of the Bonds and any
- 20 -
Future Parity Bonds are outstanding which will make
available for the payment of the principal of and
interest on such bonds as the same accrue, together
with the collection of other Gross Revenue and of
ULID Assessments, an amount equal to at least 1.35
times the Maximum Annual Debt Service in any current
year on the Prior Lien Bonds, the Bonds and any
Future Parity Bonds outstanding, after deducting
Maintenance and Operation Expense from the Gross
Revenue of the Waterworks Utility.
(b) It will at all times maintain and keep the
Waterworks Utility in good repair, working order and
condition, and also will at all times operate that
Utility 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 Waterworks Utility unless provision is made,
in addition to what is required for the Prior Lien
Bonds, for the payment into the Bond Fund of an
amount sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds
then outstanding and that it will not sell, lease,
mortgage, or in any manner encumber or dispose of any
part of the property of the Waterworks Utility that
is used, useful and material to the operation
thereof, unless provision is made, in addition to
what is required for Prior Lien Bonds, for
replacement thereof, or for payment into the Bond
Fund of the total amount of Gross Revenue received
which shall not be less than an amount which shall
bear the same ratio to the amount of the Bonds and
any Future Parity Bonds then outstanding as the Gross
Revenue available for debt service for such
outstanding bonds for the twelve months preceding
such sale, lease, encumbrance or disposal from the
portion of the Utility sold, leased, encumbered or
disposed of bears to the Gross Revenue available for
debt service for the outstanding Bonds and Future
Parity Bonds from the entire Waterworks Utility for
the same period. Any such money so paid into the
Bond Fund shall be used to retire such Bonds and/or
Future Parity Bonds at the earliest possible date.
(d) While any of the Bonds remain outstanding,
it will keep proper and separate accounts and records
in which complete and separate entries shall be made
of all transactions relating to the Waterworks
Utility, and it will furnish the original purchaser
or purchasers of the Bonds or any subsequent owner or
owners thereof, at the written request of such owner
or owners, complete operating and income statements
of the Waterworks Utility in reasonable detail
covering any calendar year not more than 90 days
after the close of such calendar year and it will
grant any owner or owners of at least 25% of the
outstanding Bonds the right at all reasonable times
to inspect the entire Waterworks Utility and all
records, accounts and data of the City relating
thereto. Upon request of any owner of any of the
Bonds, it also will furnish to such owner a copy of
-21 -
the most recently completed audit of the City's
accounts by the State Auditor of Washington, or such
other audit as is authorized by law in lieu thereof.
(e) It will not furnish water or sanitary
sewage disposal service to any customer whatsoever
free of charge and will promptly take legal action to
enforce collection of all delinquent accounts.
(f) It will carry the type of insurance on its
Waterworks Utility property in the amounts normally
carried by private water and sewer utility companies
engaged in the operation of water and sewerage
systems, and the cost of such insurance shall be
considered part of the operating and maintaining of
such Utility or, in lieu thereof, may self-insure or
participate in a joint intergovernmental insurance
assuring the same coverage as is carried by such
private water and sewerage companies. 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 portion of the Utility 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 Maintenance and Operation
Expense and the debt service requirements of the
Prior Lien Bonds, the Bonds and any Future Parity
Bonds and otherwise meet the obligations of the City
as set forth in this ordinance.
(h) It will neither make nor 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 Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the
meaning of Section 148 of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 and applicable regulations
promulgated thereunder. Further, if all proceeds of
the Bonds have not been spent within six months from
the date of issuance of the Bonds, the City will
calculate, or cause to be calculated, 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 invest-
ments 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
such Code and such applicable regulations. In the
event the City shall fail to meet the rebate require-
ments applicable to the Bonds under Section 148 of
such 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 tax
exemption for interest on the Bonds.
The City has not been notified of any listing or proposed
listing by the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it is
- 22 -
a bond issuer whose arbitrage certifications may not be relied
upon.
Section 14. All ULID Assessments shall be paid into the
Bond Fund as provided by Section 8. The Gross Revenue of the
Waterworks Utility, except for earnings in the Bond Fund and
funds other than the Utilities and Enterprise Fund, shall be
credited to the Utilities and Enterprise Fund of the City as it
is collected. The Utilities and Enterprise Fund shall be held
separate and apart from other funds and accounts of the City.
Money in the Utilities and Enterprise Fund shall be used for the
following purposes only and shall be applied in the following
order of priority:
(a) To pay the Maintenance and Operation
Expense;
(b) To pay the interest on Prior Lien Bonds;
(c) To pay the principal of Prior Lien Bonds;
(d) To pay the interest on the Bonds and any
Future Parity Bonds;
(e) To pay the principal of the Bonds and any
Future Parity Bonds;
(f) To make all payments required to be made
into any sinking fund account created to provide for
the payment of the principal of Term Bonds;
(g) To make all payments required to be made
into the Reserve Account;
(h) To make all payments required to be made
into any revenue bond redemption fund or warrant
redemption fund and debt service account or reserve
account created to pay the secure the payment of the
principal of and interest on any revenue bonds, or
revenue warrants or other revenue obligations of the
City having a lien upon the revenue of the Waterworks
Utility junior and inferior to the lien thereon for
the payment of the principal of and interest on the
Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds; and
(i) To retire by redemption or purchase in the
open market any outstanding revenue bonds or other
revenue obligations of the Waterworks Utility, to
make necessary additional betterments, improvements
and repairs to or extensions and replacements of the
Waterworks Utility, or for any other lawful City
purposes.
- 23 -
The City may transfer from any funds or accounts of the
Waterworks Utility legally available therefor, except bond
redemption funds, refunding escrow funds or defeasance funds,
any money therein to meet the required payments to be made into
the Bond Fund.
Section 15. The City reserves the right to issue Future
Parity Bonds if the following conditions are met and complied
with at the time of the issuance of such Future Parity Bonds:
(a) No default exists in the payment of the
principal of or interest on any outstanding water and
sewer revenue bonds of the City, and the amounts
required to have been paid into the Bond Fund shall
have been paid and maintained as required therein.
(b) The ordinance providing for the issuance of
Future Parity Bonds shall provide for the payment of
the principal of and interest on such Future Parity
Bonds out of the Principal and Interest Account and
shall further provide for the funding of the Reserve
Requirement for those Future Parity Bonds by the
payment of ULID Assessments first collected into the
Reserve Account and, if any deficiency exists, the
payment of Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility into
the Reserve Account by five equal annual installments
after any initial payment therein from the proceeds
of those Future Parity Bonds so that on the fifth
anniversary date of the date of issuance of such
bonds the full Reserve Requirement therefor is
deposited in the Reserve Account, except in the case
of refunding Future Parity Bonds, the ordinance
authorizing the issuance of such bonds shall provide
that the money in the Reserve Account for the bonds
to be refunded shall be retained in the Reserve
Account as a reserve for the refunding bonds, or the
money in any other reserve account or fund for the
bonds being refunded shall be transferred to the
Reserve Account in the Bond Fund, but if such amount
does not equal the Reserve Requirement for those
refunding bonds, the Reserve Requirement therefor
shall be accumulated in the same manner and within
the same time as provided for other Future Parity
Bonds.
(C) The ordinance authorizing the issuance of
such Future Parity Bonds may provide for the creation
of a sinking fund account in the Bond Fund for any
Term Bonds to be issued and for regular payments to
be made into such account for the payment of the
principal of such Term Bonds on or before their
maturity, or, as an alternative, the mandatory
redemption of such Term Bonds prior to their maturity
date from money in the Principal and Interest Account.
(d) There shall be on file with the City a
certificate of either an independent certified public
- 24 -
accountant or a professional engineer experienced in
municipal utilities and licensed to practice in the
State of Washington to the effect that the Net
Revenue of the Waterworks Utility for any twelve
consecutive calendar months out of the immediately
preceding 24 consecutive calendar months, plus the
additional revenue anticipated to be received from
the proposed improvement in connection with which
such Future Parity Bonds are to be issued, together
with the annual assessments reasonably anticipated to
be collected in any ULID created to pay, in whole or
in part, such Future Parity Bonds so proposed to be
issued, together with the increase in revenues
reasonably anticipated to result from any change in
the schedule of water and sewer rates to be put into
effect prior to the issuance of such Future Parity
Bonds, and after giving effect to any probable future
increase or decrease in costs of Maintenance and
Operation Expense and to any probable future increase
or decrease in revenues resulting from growth or
shrinkage in the number of water and sewer users
within 24 months after the date of issuance of such
Future Parity Bonds, are deemed sufficient to equal
at least 1.35 times the Maximum Annual Debt Service
of all water and sewer revenue bonds of the City
payable out of the Bond Fund at any time outstanding,
including the Future Parity Bonds proposed to be so
issued. If Future Parity Bonds proposed to be so
issued are for the sole purpose of refunding out-
standing water and sewer revenue bonds, such certi-
fication of coverage shall not be required if the
amount required for the payment of the principal and
interest in each year for the refunding bonds is not
increased over the amount required for the bonds to
be refunded thereby and the maturities of such
refunding bonds are not extended beyond the matur-
ities of the bonds to be refunded thereby.
Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City from
issuing water and sewer revenue bonds which are a charge upon
the Gross Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City junior
or inferior to the payments required to be made therefrom into
the Bond Fund for the payment of the Bonds and any Future Parity
Bonds.
The right of the City to issue additional Prior Lien Bonds
as herein defined is cancelled and terminated.
Section 16. The City may issue advance refunding bonds
pursuant to the laws of the State of Washington and use money
available from any other lawful source to pay the principal of
and interest on the Bonds, or such portion thereof included in a
refunding or defeasance plan, as the same become due and payable
- 25 -
and to redeem and retire, release or refund all such then-
outstanding Bonds (hereinafter collectively called the "defeased
Bonds") and to pay the costs of such refunding or defeasance.
In the event that money and/or Government Obligations sufficient
in amount, together with known earned income from the invest-
ments thereof, to redeem and retire, release or refund the
defeased Bonds in accordance with their terms, are set aside
irrevocably in a special fund for and pledged irrevocably to
such redemption and retirement (hereinafter called the "trust
account"), then all right and interest of the owners of the
defeased Bonds in the covenants of this ordinance and, except as
hereinafter provided, in the Gross Revenue of the Waterworks
Utility, ULID Assessments, funds and accounts obligated to the
payment of such defeased Bonds, other than the right to receive
the funds so set aside and pledged, thereafter shall cease and
become void. Such owners thereafter 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 clefeased Bonds from the Gross Revenue of the
Waterworks Utility and ULID Assessments without any priority of
lien or charge against that revenue or those assessments 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 or
bonds then outstanding.
In the event that the refunding plan provides that the
defeased Bonds or the refunding bonds to be issued be secured by
- 26 -
money and/or Government Obligations pending the prior redemption
of the defeased Bonds and if such refunding plan also provides
that certain money and/or Government Obligations are pledged
irrevocably for the prior redemption of the defeased 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 the coverage requirement
for the issuance of Future Parity Bonds and the annual computa-
tion of coverage for determining compliance with the rate
covenants.
Section 17. The City finds and declares that (a) it is a
duly organized and existing governmental unit of the State of
Washington and has general taxing power; (b) no Bond which is
part of this issue of Bonds is a "private activity bond" within
the meaning of Section 141 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(the "1986 Code"); (c) at least 95 percent of the net proceeds
of the Bonds will be used for local governmental activities of
the City (or of a governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is
entirely within the jurisdiction of the City); (d) the aggregate
face amount of all tax-exempt obligations (other than private
activity bonds) issued by the City and all entities subordinate
to the City (including any entity which the City controls or
which derives its authority to issue tax-exempt obligations from
the City) during the current calendar year is not reasonably
expected to exceed $5,000,000; and (e) the amount of tax-exempt
obligations, including the Bonds, designated as "qualified
tax-exempt obligations" for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of
the 1986 Code or any predecessor provision of federal law by the
City during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued does
not exceed $10,000,000. The City therefore certifies that it is
an issuer which qualifies for the small governmental issuer
- 27 -
arbitrage rebate exemption under Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the
1986 Code and designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt
obligations" for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the 1986
Code.
Section 18. Harper, McLean & Company of Seattle,
Washington, has presented a bond purchase agreement (the
"Purchase Contract") to the City by which Harper, McLean &
Company has offered to purchase the Bonds under the terms and
conditions provided in the Purchase Contract and to order on
behalf of the City the Acquired Obligations specified in
Schedule A of the Refunding Trust Agreement (subject to substi-
tution), 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 City's best interest and, therefore, accepts the offer
contained in the Purchase Contract and authorizes the execution
of the Purchase Contract by City officials.
The Bonds will be printed at City expense and will be
delivered to the purchaser in accordance with the terms of 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 has not been retained to and shall not be required
to review or express any opinion concerning the completeness or
accuracy of any official statement, offering circular or other
sales material issued or used in connection with the Bonds
except with respect to any description of 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 execution and delivery of
the Bonds to the purchaser, including the execution of the
- 28 -
Official Statement on behalf of the City, and for the proper
application and use of the proceeds of the sale thereof.
Section 19. Pending the printing, execution 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 total 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 defini-
tive 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. If the Acquired Obligations are not
acquired by the Refunding Trustee and the definitive Bonds are
not ready for exchange and delivery within 45 days from the date
of delivery of the temporary Bond, such temporary Bond shall be
immediately retired at the original purchase price therefor plus
accrued interest from money deposited with the Refunding Trustee.
Section 20. This ordinance shall take effect from and
after its passage and five days following the date of its
publication in the official newspaper of the City.
