are hereby pledged to such payments and the Bonds and such Future
Parity Bonds shall constitute a lien and charge upon such revenues
and assessments prior and superior to any other charges whatsoever,
excluding charges for maintenance and operation of the Waterworks
Utility of the City, except that the lien and charge upon such revenues
for the Bonds and such Future Parity Bonds shall be subordinate and
junior to the prior lien and charge upon such revenues for the
outstanding Prior Lien Parity Bonds.
Section' 10. The City Council and corporate authorities of
the City hereby 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 maintenance of the Waterworks
Utility of the City and the debt service requirements of the presently
outstanding Prior Lien 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 said utility than in the
judgment of the City Council will be available over and above such
costs of maintenance and operation and debt service requirements of
said outstanding Prior Lien Parity Bonds and that no portion of the
revenues of the Waterworks Utility of the City has been previously
pledged for any indebtedness other than the presently outstanding
Prior Lien Parity Bonds.
Section 11. The City hereby covenants and agrees with the
owner and holder of each Bond at any time outstanding, in addition to
the covenants heretofore made for the outstanding Prior Lien Parity
Bonds, as follows:
(a) That it will establish, maintain and collect
such rates and charges for water and sanitary sewage
-12-
disposal service which, together with other revenues
available therefor, will produce net revenues
available for debt service each calendar year after
completion of the improvements constructed from the
proceeds of the Bonds, at least equal to:
(1) 1.25 times the combined average annual
debt service on all Prior Lien Parity Bonds, the
Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds actually payable
from revenues; and
(2) 1.30 times the average annual debt
service on all Bonds and Future Parity Bonds actually
payable from revenues.
The portion of the annual debt service which
might not be subject to the 130% and 125% coverage
requirements would be that portion of any Future
Parity Bond issue which might have utility local
improvement district assessments pledged to the
security of the bonds. In this case, to determine
the portion of that issue not subject to the coverage
requirements, divide the original amount of each
assessment roll by the original principal amount of
each bond issue involving utility local improvement
district assessment collections. (This subparagraph
shall hereinafter be called the "Coverage Requirement".)
(b) If utility local improvement districts are ever
established in connection with the issuance of Future
Parity Bonds and the assessments therefrom pledged to
be paid into the Bond Fund, the City will promptly
collect all assessments levied in any subsequent utility
local improvement district hereafter created in
connection with the issuance of such Future Parity
Bonds. Such assessments may be used to pay the principal
of and interest on any bonds payable out of the Bond Fund
without said assessments being particularly allocated to
the payment of principal of and interest on any particular
series of bonds or such Future Parity Bonds.
(c) That it will at all times maintain and keep the
Waterworks Utility of the City in good repair, working
order and condition, and also will at all times operate
such utility and the business in connection therewith
in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost.
(d) That it will not sell, lease, mortgage or in any
manner encumber or dispose of all the property of the
Waterworks Utility of the City, unless provision is made
for payment into the Bond Fund of a sum sufficient to
pay the principal of and interest on all Bonds at any
time 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 of the
City that is used, useful and material to the operation
thereof, 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 outstand-
ing bonds payable out of the Bond Fund as the 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 revenue available
-13-
for debt service for such bonds from the entire
utility for the same period. Any such moneys so
paid into the Bond Fund shall be used to retire
such outstanding bonds payable out of the Bond Fund
at the earliest possible date and until being so
used may be invested in the same manner as provided
for the investment of the moneys in the "Reserve
Account" in the Bond Fund.
(e) That it will while any of the Bonds remains
outstanding keep proper and separate accounts and
records in which complete and separate entries shall
be made of all transactions relating to the Waterworks
Utility of the City and it will furnish the original
purchaser or purchasers of the Bonds or any subsequent
holder or holders thereof at the written request of
such holder or holders complete operating and income
statements of said utility in reasonable detail covering
any calendar year not more than ninety days after
the close of such calendar year and it will grant any
holder or holders of at least twenty-five percent of
the outstanding Bonds the right at all reasonable times
to inspect the entire Waterworks Utility of the City
and all records, accounts and data of the City relating
thereto. Upon request of any holder of any of said
Bonds, it will also furnish to such holder a copy of
the most recently completed audit of the City's accounts
by the State Auditor of Washington.
(f) That 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.
(g) That it will carry the types of insurance on
the properties of the Waterworks Utility of the City in
the amounts normally carried by private water and sewer
companies engaged in the operation of water and sewerage
systems, and the cost of such insurance shall be
considered a part of operating and maintaining said
utility. 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 said
system on which such War Risk Insurance may be written
in an amount or amounts to cover adequately the value
thereof.
(h) That it will pay all costs of maintenance and
operation of the Waterworks Utility of the City and the
debt service requirements for the outstanding Prior Lien
Parity Bonds and otherwise meet the obligations of the
City as herein set forth.
(i) That it will make no use of the proceeds of the
Bonds or other funds of the City at any time during the
term of the Bonds which, if such use had been reasonably
expected at the date that the Bonds are issued, would
have caused such Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the
meaning of Section 103(d) of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, and for this purpose it further
covenants that none of the proceeds of the Bonds or the
investment of such proceeds will be used to acquire
obligations the adjusted yield on which will exceed the
adjusted yield produced by the Bonds, both such adjusted
yields being computed pursuant and subject to the
requirements and exceptions of Sections 1.103-13 and
1.103-14 of the regulations proposed by the United States
-14-
Treasury Department published in the Federal Register
on May 3, 1973 (except for the refunding bonds portion
which is still covered by June 1, 1972, proposed
regulations), as the same may be changed from time to
time, or any other applicable regulations hereafter
adopted.
Section 12. In the event the City shall issue advance
refunding bonds pursuant to the laws of the State of Washington to pay
the principal of and interest on the Bonds or such portion thereof
included in the refunding plan as the same become due and payable and
to refund all such then outstanding Bonds and to pay the costs of
refunding, and shall have irrevocably set aside for and pledged to
such payment and refunding, moneys and/or direct obligations of the
United States of America or other legal investments sufficient in
amount, together with known earned income from the investment thereof,
to make such payments and to accomplish the refunding as scheduled,
and shall irrevocably make provisions for redemption of such Bonds,
then in that case all right and interest of the owners or holders of
the Bonds to be so retired or refunded and the appurtenant coupons
in the covenants of this ordinance and in the revenues, funds and
accounts obligated to the payment of such Bonds, except the right to
receive the funds so set aside and pledged, shall thereupon cease
and become void and the City may then apply any moneys in any fund
or account established for the payment or redemption of such Bonds or
coupons to any lawful purposes as it shall determine.
In the event that the refunding plan provides that the
refunding bonds be secured by cash and/or direct obligations of the
United States of America or other legal investments pending the
prior redemption of those Bonds being refunded and if such refunding
plan also provides that certain cash and/or direct obligations of the
United States of America or other legal investments are irrevocably
pledged for the prior redemption of those Bonds included in the
refunding plan, then only the debt service on the Bonds and the
refunding bonds payable from revenues shall be included in the
computation of coverage for issuance of Future Parity Bonds and the
-15-
annual computation of coverage for determining compliance with the
rate covenants.
Section 13. The City agrees that it will not hereafter
issue any water and sewer revenue bonds which will constitute a lien
and charge against the gross revenues of the Waterworks Utility of
the City, including utility local improvement district assessments,
prior to or on a parity with the lien and charge against such
revenues and assessments required to be made into the Bond Fund for
the payment of the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds, except that it
hereby reserves the right to issue such Future Parity Bonds if the
following conditions and requirements are met and complied with at
the time of the issuance of such Future Parity Bonds:
(a) That at the time of issuance of such Future
Parity Bonds, there shall not be a deficiency in
the Bond Fund or the "Reserve Account" therein.
(b) That each ordinance providing for the issuance
of such Future Parity Bonds shall require that all
assessments levied in any utility local improvement
district created in connection with the bonds then
being issued will be paid directly into the Bond Fund.
(c) That the ordinance authorizing any Future Parity
Bonds shall require that the "Reserve Account" be
increased within a period of five years after the date
of issuance of the Future Parity Bonds to an amount
equal to the average annual principal and interest
requirements on all parity bonds, excluding from such
average the principal amount of any bonds maturing in
a Term Bond Maturity Year included in the parity issue..
(d) That at the time of the issuance of such Future
Parity Bonds, the City shall have on file a certificate
from an independent licensed professional engineer
experienced in the design, construction and operation
of municipal utilities, showing that in his professional
opinion, the net revenue of the Waterworks Utility of
the City which will be available in each succeeding year
for the payment of the principal of and interest on all
outstanding bonds payable out of the Bond Fund and Future
Parity Bonds to be issued, will be equal to the Coverage
Requirement.
In determining whether the City is able to comply with the terms of the
parity conditions, the following adjustments may be made to the
historical net operating revenue:
(a) Any rate change that has taken place or been
approved may be reflected.
-16-
(b) Revenue may be added from customers actually
added to the utility subsequent to the 12-month
period.
(c) Revenue may be added from customers to be
served by the improvements being constructed out of
the proceeds of the bonds to be issued.
(d) A full year's revenue may be included from any
customer being served, but who has not been receiving
service for the full period of operation used as a
basis for the certificate.
(e) Actual or reasonably anticipated changes in the
current expenses subsequent to such 12-month period
shall be added or deducted, as is applicable.
Section 14. The Bonds shall be in substantially the
following form:
