purpose in addition to or in lieu of using revenue therefor .
The City further agrees that when the required amounts have

interest payment date when the money will be needed. Interest

ORDINANCE NO. 4232

In the judgment of the City Council, the Revenue of the
Waterworks Utility and benefits to be derived from the operation
and maintenance of the Waterworks Utility, at the rates to be
charged for water, sanitary sewage disposal service and storm
and surface water drainage service in the entire utility, will
be more than sufficient to meet all Maintenance and Operation
Expense (and cost of maintenance and operation of the Waterworks
Utility as that term is used in RCW 35 . 92 . 100) and the debt
service requirements of the Outstanding Parity Bonds and to
permit the setting aside in the Bond Fund, out of the revenue of
the entire utility, of amounts sufficient to pay the interest on
the Bonds as that interest becomes payable and to pay and redeem
all of the Bonds at maturity. The City Council further declares
that in creating the Bond Fund and in fixing the amounts to be
paid into the same, as aforesaid, it has exercised due regard
for the Maintenance and Operation Expense (and costs of
maintenance and operation as used in RCW 35 . 92 . 100) and the debt
service requirements of the presently outstanding 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 revenue of that utility than in the judgment
of the City Council will be available over and above Maintenance
and Operation Expense (and such costs of maintenance and
- 18 -
ORDINANCE NO. 4232
operation) and debt service requirements of the Outstanding
Parity Bonds and that no portion of the Revenue of the
Waterworks Utility has been previously pledged for any
unrefunded indebtedness other than the payment of the presently
outstanding Outstanding Parity Bonds .
SECTION XIII . Refundinq of the 1985 Refunded Bonds .
(a) Acquisition and Substitution of Acquired Obliqations .
The proceeds of the issuance and sale of the Bonds, except the
accrued interest , if any, received, which shall be deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account , shall be deposited
immediately upon the receipt thereof with the Refunding Trustee
to discharge the obligations of the City relating to the
outstanding 1985 Refunded Bonds under Ordinance No. 3896 by
providing for the payment of the amounts required to be paid by
the Refunding Plan. To the extent practicable, such obligations
shall be discharged fully by the Refunding Trustee' s
simultaneous purchase of Acquired Obligations bearing such
interest and maturing as to principal and interest in such
amounts and at such times so as to provide for the payment of
the amounts required to be made by the Refunding Plan. The
Acquired Obligations are listed and more particularly described
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 direct, noncallable
obligations of the United States of America ( "Government
- 19 -
ORDINANCE NO. 4232
Obligations" ) for any of the Acquired Obligations and to use any
savings created thereby for any lawful City purpose if, (a) in
the opinion of Foster Pepper & 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986 , as amended
(the "Code" ) , and (b) such substitution shall not impair the
timely payment of the amounts required to be paid by the
Refunding Plan as so verified by an independent nationally
recognized firm of certified public accountants .
After the purchase of the Acquired Obligations by the
Refunding Trustee, the City reserves the right to substitute
therefor cash or Government Obligations subject to the
conditions that such money or securities held by the Refunding
Trustee shall be sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan,
that such substitution will not cause the Bonds to be arbitrage
bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and
regulations thereunder in effect on the date of such
