WHEREAS, by Section 16 of Ordinance No. 1957, the City
reserved the right to issue additional and/or refunding water
and sewer revenue bonds (therein called "Future Parity Bonds")
which would constitute a lien and charge upon the gross revenue
of the System on a parity with such 1977 Bonds if the following
conditions are met and complied with at the time of the issuance
of such Future Parity Bonds:
"(1) At the time of issuance of such Future
Parity Bonds, there shall not be any deficiency in
the Bond Fund or the Reserve Account therein.
"(2) Each ordinance providing for the issuance
of such Future Parity Bonds shall require that all
Assessments levied in any ULID created in connection
with the Future Parity Bonds then being issued will
be paid directly into the Bond Fund.
"(3) Each ordinance providing for the issuance
of such Future Parity Bonds shall provide for the
payment of the principal thereof and interest thereon
out of the Bond Fund.

"(4) The ordinance authorizing any Future
Parity Bonds shall require that the Reserve Account
be increased within a period of five years after the

amount equal to the average annual principal and
interest requirements on all Future Parity Bonds,
including the Bonds and the Future Parity Bonds pro-
posed to be issued, excluding from such amount the
principal amount of any Term Bonds included in the
Future Parity Bonds issue.
11(5) At the time of the issuance of such Future
Parity Bonds, the City shall have on file a certifi-
cate from an independent licensed professional engi-
neer experienced in the design, construction and
operation of municipal utilities, showing that in his
professional opinion, the annual Revenue of the

Expenses, available for debt service on the Bonds,
Future Parity Bonds then outstanding and the Future
Parity Bonds proposed to be issued for each year
shall be at least equal to the Coverage Requirement
(1.25 times that amount of debt service to be paid
from operating Revenue and not assessments).
"In determining whether the City is able to comply with the
parity conditions, the Revenue of the System of the City, less
Operating and Maintenance Expenses, for any twelve consecutive
calendar months out of the immediately preceding twenty-four
consecutive months shall be used. The following adjustments may
be made to the historical net operating Revenue of the System:
"(1) Any rate change that has taken place or
been approved, may be reflected;
"(2) Revenue may be added from customers
actually added to the System subsequent to the
12-month base period;
"(3) Revenue may be added from customers to be
served by the improvements being constructed out of
the proceeds of the Future Parity Bonds to be issued;
"(4) 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; and
- 3 -
"(5) Actual or reasonably anticipated changes
to the Operating and Maintenance Expenses subsequent
to such 12-month period shall be added or deducted,
as is applicable . . ."; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined it is necessary
and in the best interests of the City that certain additional
improvements be made to the System and there be adopted a system
or plan of additions to and betterments and extensions of the
System and that $1,000,000 par value of water and sewer revenue
bonds be issued on the terms and conditions herein set forth to
provide a part of the funds to pay the cost of carrying out such

Section 3. Amending Ordinance No. 1957. Section 16 of

Section 16. Provision for Future Parity Bonds. The City
reserves the right to issue Future Parity Bonds which will con-
stitute a charge and lien upon the Revenue of the System and
ULID Assessments hereafter pledged to be paid into the Bond Fund
on a parity with the Bonds if the following conditions should be
met and complied with at the time of the issuance of such Future
Parity Bonds:
(1) At the time of issuance of such Future
Parity Bonds, there shall not be any deficiency in
the Bond Fund or the Reserve Account therein.
(2) Each ordinance providing for the issuance
of such Future Parity Bonds shall require that all
Assessments levied in any ULID created in connection
with the Future Parity Bonds then being issued will.
be paid directly into the Bond Fund.
(3) Each ordinance providing for the issuance
of such Future Parity Bonds shall provide for the
- 8 -
payment of the principal thereof and interest thereon
out of the Bond Fund.
(4) 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 Future Parity Bonds,
including the Bonds and the Future Parity Bonds pro-
posed to be issued, excluding from such amount the
principal amount of any Term Bonds included in the
Future Parity Bonds issue if the payment for such
Term Bonds is being provided for by a sinking fund.
(5) At the time of the issuance of such Future
Parity Bonds, the City shall have on file a certifi-
cate from an independent licensed professional engi-
neer experienced in the design, construction and
operation of municipal utilities, showing that in his
professional opinion, the annual Revenue of the
System, after payment of Operating and Maintenance
Expenses, available for debt service on the Bonds,
Future Parity Bonds then outstanding and the Future
Parity Bonds proposed to be issued for each year
shall be at least equal to the Coverage Requirement.
In determining whether the City is able to comply with the
parity conditions, the Revenue of the System of the City, less
Operating and Maintenance Expenses, for any twelve consecutive
calendar months out of the immediately preceding twenty-four
consecutive months shall be used. The following adjustments may
be made to the historical net operating Revenue of the System:
(1) Any rate change that has taken place or
been approved, may be reflected;
(2) Revenue may be added from customers
actually added to the System subsequent to the
12-month base period;
(3) Revenue may be added from customers to be
served by the improvements being constructed out of
the proceeds of the Future Parity Bonds to be issued;
- 9 -
(4) 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; and
(5) Actual or reasonably anticipated changes in
the Operating and Maintenance Expenses subsequent to
such 12-month period shall be added or deducted, as
is applicable.
Nothing contained in the provisions for parity shall pre-
vent the City from issuing revenue bonds having a junior lien on
the Revenue of the System or from pledging the payment of ULID
Assessments into a bond redemption fund or account created to
pay and secure the payment of the principal and interest on such
junior lien bonds as long as such ULID Assessments are levied to
pay part or all of the cost of improvements being constructed
out of the proceeds of the sale of such junior lien bonds.
Neither shall anything contained in this ordinance prevent the
City from issuing revenue bonds to refund maturing revenue bonds
of the City for the payment of which money is not otherwise
available.
Section 4. Compliance with Parity Provisions. In accord-
ance with the provisions of Section 16 of Ordinance No. 1957,
the City Council finds and declares that:
(1) At the time of issuance of the Bonds there
will be no deficiency in the Bond Fund or the Reserve
Account therein;
(2) No ULID is created in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds;
(3) Provision is made herein for the payment of
the principal of and interest on the Bonds out of the
Bond Fund;
- 10 -
(4) Provision is made herein for the accumula-
tion of the required additional amount in the Reserve
Account of the Bond Fund for the Bonds; and
(5) There shall be on file with the City prior
to the issuance and delivery of the Bonds a certifi-
cate from Reid, Middleton & Associates,Inc , an indepen-
dent, licensed professional engineer experienced in
the design, construction and operation of municipal
utilities, showing that, in his professional opinion,
the annual Revenue of the System, after payment of
Operating and Maintenance Expense, available for debt
service on the 1977 Bonds then outstanding and the
Bonds proposed to be issued for each year shall be at
least equal to the Coverage Requirement.
Section S. Provision for Issuance of Bonds. For the pur-
pose of providing a part of the money required to carry out the
plan or system for the acquisition and construction of certain
additions and betterments to and extensions and improvements of
the System herein specified, adopted and ordered to be carried
out, the City shall issue the Bonds in the aggregate principal
amount of $1,000,000.
The Bonds shall be designated "Water and Sewer Revenue
Bonds, 1983" (herein defined as the "Bonds"); shall be in the
denomination of $5,000 each; shall be dated May 1, 1983; shall
bear interest payable on May 1, 1984, and semiannually there-
after on each succeeding November 1 and May 1 as evidenced by
coupons to be attached to the Bonds representing interest to
maturity. If any Bond is not redeemed upon proper presentment
at its maturity or call date thereof, the City shall be obli-
gated to pay interest at the coupon rate for each such Bond from
and after the maturity or call date until such Bond, both prin-
cipal and interest, shall have been paid in full or until suffi-
cient money for such payment in full is on deposit in the Bond
Fund, and such Bond has been duly called for payment by the City
Director of Finance's publishing notice of such call once at
least ten days prior to the call date in the official newspaper
of the City or, if there is no official newspaper, in a news-
paper of general circulation in the City. Both principal of and
interest on the Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the
United States of America at the office of the City Director of
Finance or, at the option of the holder, at either fiscal agency
of the State of Washington in Seattle, Washington, or New York,
New York. The Bonds shall be payable solely from the Bond Fund
and shall be a valid claim of the holders thereof only as
against the Bond Fund and the fixed amount of the Revenue of the
System and ULID Assessments pledged to such fund and shall not
be a general obligation of the City. The Bonds shall be
numbered, bear interest and mature on May 1 of each year in
accordance with the following schedule:

Section 6. Option for Prior Redemption. The City reserves
the right to redeem the Bonds in whole, or in part in inverse
numerical order, on May 1, 1993, or on any semiannual interest
payment date thereafter, at the following percentages of par if
redeemed on the following dates, plus accrued interest to date
of redemption:
Call Date Call Price
On May 1, 1993, or November 1, 1993 1O2o
On May 1, 1994, or November 1, 1994 101%
On May 1, 1995, and thereafter 1000 (par)
Notice of such intended redemption shall be published once
in the official newspaper of the City or, if there is no offi-
cial newspaper, in a newspaper of general circulation in the
City, not less than 30 nor more than 45 days prior to the call
date, and a copy of such notice shall be mailed within the same
period to the main office of Foster & Marshall/American Express
Inc in Seattle, Washington, or its successor. In addition, such
redemption notice shall be mailed to Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., and Standard & Poor's Corporation at their offices in New
York, New York, but the mailing of such notice to such New York
firms shall not be a condition precedent to the redemption of
- 13 -
such Bonds. Interest on any Bonds so called for redemption
shall cease on such call date upon payment of the redemption
price into the Bond Fund.
The City further reserves the right to purchase any or all
of the Bonds in the open market at any time at a price not in
excess of the call price applicable at the next succeeding call
date.
Section 7. Deposits to Bond Fund and Bond Fund Considera-
tions. So long as Bonds are outstanding against the Bond Fund,
the City Director of Finance shall set aside and pay into the
Bond Fund out of the Revenue of the System deposited in the
Water and Sewer Operating Fund of the City in addition to the
amounts to be deposited therein for the 1977 Bonds, a fixed
amount without regard to any fixed proportion, namely:
(a) Into the Principal and Interest Account, at
least 20 days prior to each principal payment date
and each interest payment date, an amount sufficient,
together with any ULID Assessment collections depos-
ited therein in connection with any Future Parity
Bonds hereafter issued, to pay the principal amount
maturing on each maturity date of the 1977 Bonds,
Bonds and any future Parity Bonds hereafter issued
and outstanding and an amount sufficient to pay the
interest payable on the 1977 Bonds, Bonds and such
Future Parity Bonds on such interest payment date; and
(b) Into the Reserve Account, in substantially
equal annual payments, such amounts so that by no
later than May 1, 1988, there shall be on deposit in
such Reserve Account a total reserve at least equal
to the average annual debt service requirements, both
principal and interest, of the 1977 Bonds and the
Bonds, excluding the principal of any Term Bonds if
the payment for such Term Bonds is being provided for
by a sinking fund.
- 14 -
The Reserve Account shall be maintained in such total
average annual debt service required reserve amount, except for
withdrawals therefrom as authorized herein, at all times so long
as any of the 1977 Bonds and the Bonds is 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, and the amount in such Reserve
Account may be reduced at any time to an amount not less than
such average annual debt service requirements for the 1977
Bonds, the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds then outstanding.
In the event that there shall be a deficiency in the Prin-
cipal 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
withdrawal shall then be made up from the money from the Revenue
of the System and/or ULID Assessments, if any, payable into the
Bond Fund first available after making necessary provision for
the required payments into the Principal and 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.
All money in the Bond Fund not needed to meet the payments
of principal and interest when due may be kept on deposit in the
- 15 -
official bank depository of the City or in any national bank or
may be invested in any legal investment. Interest on any such
investment or on such bank account shall be deposited in and
become a part of the Bond Fund.
In the judgment of the City Council, the Revenue of the
System anticipated to be derived from the operation and mainte-
nance of the System will be more than sufficient to pay the
Operating and Maintenance Expense and to permit the setting
aside into the Bond Fund out of the Revenue of the System of
sufficient amounts to pay the interest on the 1977 Bonds and the
Bonds as such interest becomes due and payable and to pay and
redeem all of such 1977 Bonds and Bonds at maturity.
The City Council further declares that in fixing the
amounts to be paid into the Bond Fund it has considered and had
due regard for the Operating and Maintenance Expense and has not
set aside into the Bond Fund a greater amount or proportion of
the Revenue of the System than in its judgment will be available
over and above the Operating and Maintenance Expense, and that
no portion of the Revenue of the System has been previously
pledged for any other outstanding indebtedness except for pay-
ment of the 1977 Bonds.
Section 8. Lien Position of Bonds. All Revenue of the
System is pledged to the payments required to be made into the
Bond Fund, and the Bonds shall constitute a charge and lien upon
such revenue prior and superior to all other charges and liens
- 16 -
whatsoever, excluding Operating and Maintenance Expense, except
that the charge and lien upon such revenue for the Bonds shall
be on a parity with the charge and lien upon such revenue and
upon any ULID Assessments hereafter pledged to be paid into the
Bond Fund for the 1977 Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds.
Section 9. Covenants. The City covenants and agrees with
the owner and holder of each 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 1977 Bonds, Bonds and
Future Parity Bonds are outstanding which, together
with other miscellaneous Revenue of the System
(excluding ULID Assessments), will provide amounts
annually at least equal to the Coverage Requirement,
after payment of Operating and Maintenance Expense.
In determining the amount of debt service subject to
coverage, there shall be deducted from the annual
principal and interest required to be paid each year
an amount equal to the percentage of the debt service
for each year on each issue of outstanding 1977
Bonds, Bonds and Future Parity Bonds, equal to the
percentage arrived at by dividing the original total
amount of the ULID Assessments specifically pledged
to the Bond Fund in that issue by the original total
principal amount of such issue. To simplify, where
ULIDs are involved, only the debt service portion of
any Future Parity Bond issue not covered by ULID
Assessments must be subject to the Coverage
Requirement.
(b) It will at all times maintain and keep the
System in good repair, working order and condition,
and also will at all times operate such 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 the property of the
System unless provision is made for payment into the
Bond Fund of a sum sufficient to pay the principal of
- 17 -
and interest on all bonds payable out of the Bond
Fund 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 such System
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 outstanding bonds payable out of the
Bond Fund as the revenue available for debt service
for such outstanding bonds for the twelve months pre-
ceding such sale, lease, encumbrance or disposal from
the portion of the System sold, leased, encumbered or
disposed of bears to the revenue available for debt
service for such bonds from the entire System for the
same period. Any such 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 remains
outstanding, keep proper and separate accounts and
records in which complete and separate entries shall
be made of all transactions relating to its System,
and it will furnish any subsequent holder or holders
of the Bonds, if the Bonds shall be owned by other_
than a fund of the City, at the written request of
such holder or holders, complete operating and income
statements of such System in reasonable detail cover-
ing any calendar year showing the financial condition
of the water and sewer departments and compliance
with the terms and conditions of this ordinance not
more than 120 days after the close of such calendar
year, and it will grant any holder or holders of at
least 25% of the outstanding Bonds the right at all
reasonable times to inspect the entire System and all
records, accounts and data of the City relating
thereto. Upon request of any holder of any of such
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 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 types of insurance on its
System properties in the amounts normally carried by
- 18 --
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 Maintenance Expense. 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 insur-
ance on all or such portions of such 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 Operating and Maintenance
Expense and otherwise meet the obligations of the
City as herein set forth.
(h) If a ULID is ever established hereafter in
connection with the issuance of Future Parity Bonds
and the ULID Assessments therefrom pledged to be paid
into the Bond Fund, the City will promptly collect
all assessments levied therein. Such assessments may
be used to pay the principal of and interest on any
bonds payable out of the Bond Fund without those
assessments being particularly allocated to the pay-
ment of principal and interest on any particular
series of such Future Parity Bonds, including the
1977 Bonds and the Bonds.
(i) It will spend the proceeds of the Bonds
with due diligence to completion of the purpose
specified herein and will make no use of the proceeds
of the Bonds or other funds of the City at any time

and coupons shall be printed on lithographed or good bond paper
in a form consistent with the provisions of this ordinance. The
Bonds shall be signed by the facsimile signature of the Mayor,
attested by the manual signature of the City Clerk and a fac-
simile reproduction of the seal of the City shall be printed
thereon, and the coupons shall bear the facsimile signatures of
the Mayor and the City Clerk.
Section 11. Provision for Future Parity Bonds. The City
reserves the right to issue Future Parity Bonds which will con-
stitute a charge and lien upon the Revenue of the System and
ULID Assessments hereafter pledged to be paid into the Bond Fund
on a parity with the 1977 Bonds and the Bonds if the same condi-
tions as set forth in Section 16 of Ordinance No. 1957, as
amended by Section 2 of this ordinance, shall be met and com-
plied with at the time of the issuance of such Future Parity
- 20 -
Bonds, which section, as amended, is incorporated herein and
made a part of this ordinance.
Nothing contained in the provisions for parity shall pre-
vent the City from issuing revenue bonds having a junior lien
on the Revenue of the System or from pledging the payment of
ULID Assessments into a bond redemption fund or account created
to pay and secure the payment of the principal of and interest
on such junior lien bonds as long as such ULID Assessments are
levied to pay part or all of the cost of improvements being con-
structed out of the proceeds of the sale of such junior lien
bonds. Neither shall anything contained in this ordinance pre-
vent the City from issuing revenue bonds to refund maturing
revenue bonds of the City for the payment of which money is not
otherwise available.
Section 12. Defeasance Clause. 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 the refunding plan as the
same become due and payable and to refund all such then out-
standing Bonds and to pay the costs of refunding, and shall have
irrevocably set aside in a special fund for and pledged to such
payment and refunding money 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
- 21 -
thereof, to make such payments and to accomplish the refunding
as scheduled (hereinafter called the "trust account") 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 (hereinafter collectively called the "defeased Bonds")
in the covenants of this ordinance, in the Revenue of the
System, funds and accounts, including ULID Assessments, obli-
gated to the payment of such Bonds shall thereafter cease and
become void, except such owners and holders 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 princi-
pal of and interest on the defeased Bonds from the Revenue of
the System and ULID Assessments without any priority of lien or
charge against that revenue and assessments or covenants with
respect thereto except to be paid therefrom. After the estab-
lishing and full funding of such trust account, the City may
then 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 holders 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
- 22 -
secured by cash and/or direct obligations of the United States
of America or other legal investments pending the prior redemp-
tion 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 irrevo-
cably pledged for the prior redemption of those Bonds included
in the refunding plan, then only the debt service on the Bonds
which are not defeased Bonds and the refunding bonds, the pay-
ment of which is not so secured by the refunding plan, shall be
included in the computation of coverage for determining compli-
ance with the rate covenants.
Section 13. Sale and Delivery of Bonds. Foster & Marshall/
American Express Inc of Seattle, Washington, has submitted its
written offer to purchase the Bonds at a price of $98.00
per each $100.00 of par plus accrued interest to the date of
delivery of the Bonds, the City to furnish the printed Bonds and
the unqualified approving legal opinion of Roberts & Shefelman,
municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington. Bond counsel
shall not be required to review or express any opinion concern-
ing the completeness or accuracy of any official statement,
offering circular or other sales material issued or used in
connection with the Bonds, and bond counsel's opinion shall so
state. The City Council, being of the opinion that it is in the
best interests of the City to accept such offer, accepts the
same. The Bonds shall, therefore, immediately upon their execu-
tion be delivered to the purchaser upon payment for the Bonds in
- 23 -
accordance with such offer. The principal proceeds received
from the issuance and sale of the Bonds shall be deposited in
the "Water and Sewer Construction Fund" of the City and the
accrued interest received shall be deposited in the Principal
and Interest Account in the Bond Fund. Pending the expenditure
of such principal proceeds out of the Water and Sewer Construc-
tion Fund, the money in such fund may be invested in any legal
investment and the investment income may be retained in such
fund and used for the purposes of such fund.
