Renton City Council Minutes Page 279
Kevie Russell, 2906 NE 7th St., Renton, 98056, spoke on the topic of the
vacation of a portion of Index PI. NE. He objected to the City's retainage of a
15-foot-wide strip, which is to be used for a walkway, out of the east portion of
the right-of-way that is to be vacated. He noted the existence of a pedestrian
right-of-way one building lot away from his house, saying that hvo parallel
walkways are not necessary. Pointing out that the vacation will make an
unattractive, junk-car and litter-attracting area, a productive area, Mr. Russell
requested that the Council equally divide the right-of-way.
Howard McOmber, 425 Olympia Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, displayed
photographs of the portion of Index PI. NE under consideration for vacation.
Mr. McOmber asked Council to vacate the entire area and to accelerate the
process. He stated that Index PI. NE is not an asset for the Highlands
neighborhood and objected to the current proposal to retain a 15-foot-wide
easement for a pedestrian right-of-way when another pedestrian walkway
already exists near the vacation area. (See page 281 and 283 for further
discussion on this matfer.)
Newton Ellifrits, 4218 SE 3rd PI., Renton, 98059, expressed his opposition to
T-Mobile's proposal to locate a cell phone tower in his neighborhood. Mr.
Ellifrits also asked if there were any ordinances restricting the placement of cell
phone towers in residential neighborhoods.
City Attorney Warren commented that the Environmental Review Committee is
currently reviewing the application for the cell phone tower. He indicated that a
decision from the Development Services Director should be available within the
next couple of weeks.
Chief Administrative Officer Covington stated that an ordinance does not exist
that specifically prohibits monopoles from residential neighborhoods, but noted
that staffreviews each application for potential impacts to neighborhoods.
Councilmember Coiman reflected on the past and present efforts of Council and
staff to enforce rules regarding cell phone towers as allowed by Federal
regulations. He stated his assumption that companies applying for these types
of permits would know that placement of monopoles in commercial areas was
preferred over rwidenrial areas.
Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the
listing. As requested by Councilmember Persson, item 6.e. was removed for
separate consideration.
Mayor Keolker reappointed the following individuals to the Airport Advisory

driveways.
'MOTION CARRIED.
Keith Demps, 2308 NE 24th St., Renton, 98056, spoke on the issue of his
request to vacate a portion of Index PI. NE. Indicating that.he has already gone
through the vacation process, Mr. Demps asked Council to consider vacating
the entire area, rather than retaining a portion for a walkway, as it is holding up
his development project. He also noted the existence of another trail that is
approximately 150 feet away from the vacation area.
Discussion ensued regarding the appropriateness of vacating the entire area
while the Trails and Bicycle Master Plan study is pending, the need for two
walkways in the area, concern about short-circuiting the study, providing for
input from the Highlands neighborhood, accelerating the walkway study, the
benefits of the potential development projects, the possibility of allowing a
variance due to the lot sizes, the underlying ownership ofthe property, and the
need for the City to clean up and maintain the property.
Chief Administrative Officer Covington stated that the Trails and Bicycle
Master Plan study is to be discussed at the Comminee of the Whole meeting on
August 20, and staff will be prepared to discuss this specific area.

Erin Iverson, Mentor Program Manager for Communities in Schools of Renton,
accepted the proclamation. She encouraged everyone to become a volunteer
and make a difference in the life of child.
King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn, District 9, gave an update on the
King County Council. He pointed out the Council's work on identity theft
legislation, rural home occupations, a proposed elected auditor to be voted on
in 2009, and the "Meth Watch program (methamphetamine). Mr. Dunn noted
his chairmanships of the Transportation Committee and the Regional Transit
Committee, and his appointment to the Executive Board of the Regional
Transportation Investment District.
Councilmember Dunn reviewed his legislative priorities, which include
increasing roadway capacity, improving 1-405 and SR-167, and providing
additional bus service. In regard to land use, he stated that King County is
working on increasing the efficiency and speed of the permitting process using
Renton's process as a model. Mr. Dunn assured that he will continue to work
on 1-405 and SR-167 improvements, which is his transportation priority in this
portion of the district, and on matters related to annexation of the East Renton
Plateau and the Cascade area. In conclusion, he stated that Renton is a
contender for the siting of a new King County records and elections facility.
Mayor Keolker pointed out that King County is providing private security at the
Renton Transit Center on a trial basis, and that funding and other concerns
regarding potential annexations to Renton merit further discussion with King
County.

Fire: Wind Storm (12/14/2006) Fire Chief Daniels reported on the City's response to the wind storm that
occurred on 12/14/2006, which produced wind gusts of 60 mph and sustained
winds of 40 mph. He stated that approximately 265 calls for service were
received on December 14 and 15, which is five times more than normal. Chief
Daniels reported that the Emergency Operations Center was activated at 6 p.m.
on December 14. He further reported that the City sustained damage in the
estimated amount of $240,000, and one fatality occurred due to carbon
monoxide poisoning (as a result of the related power outage).
Chief Daniels stated that the shelter at the Highlands Neighborhood Center
opened on December 16 and remained in place for eight days. He noted that

matter will be reviewed.
Sandel DeMastus, PO Box 2041, Renton, 98056, stated that the Highlands

thanked Fire Department staff for attending the party, and praised those who
staffed the shelter.
Cynthia Allen, I31 10 164th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stated that she lives next
to the wetland area proposed for R-I zoning in the northern portion of the East
Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area (PAA). She favored the proposal,
saying R-1 zoning will help protect the wetland and the wildlife it attracts.
Gwendolyn High, 13405 158th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, expressed support for
the proposed prezoning map for the East Renton Plateau PAA. Noting the

for the entire area. Additionally, she submitted a petition signed by 14 people
supporting the proposed map.
Howard McOmber, 475 Olympia Ave. NE, Renton, 98056, praised the efforts
of the Fire Department for extracting a resident from a house on which a tree

McOmber voiced support for the proposed prezoning map for the East Renton
Plateau PAA, noting that individual parcel zoning can be reviewed in the
future. Additionally, he encouraged annexation to Renton.
Jason Jarman, 13709 175th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, indicated that his
property, located in the East Renton Plateau PAA, is proposed for R-l zoning.
He explained that he purchased the property because of its current zoning, and
expressed concern regarding the proposed zoning change. Noting that his
property is contiguous to R-4 zoning on two sides, Mr. Jarman asked that the
City be open-minded in addressing future zoning situations with individual
property owners.
Matt Mega, Seattle Audubon Society Director of Urban Habitat, 8050 35th

Tom Carpenter, East Renton Plateau Citizen Task Force Member, 15006 SE
139th PI., Renton. 98059, expressed support for the proposed prezoning map
for the East Renton Plateau PAA. He pointed out the following in regards to
the prezoning process: R-1 is an appropriate urban zone; it is illegal for
government agencies to make zoning decisions based on impact to property
values; prezoning is not property or parcel specific - those issues are handled
during the permitting process; and the critical areas ordinance is not a substitute
for appropriate zoning designations. Mr. Carpenter explained that the purpose
of prezoning is for the City to establish what the intended land use will be
based upon the characteristics of the land. He indicated that the City should
halt all development in the area, upon annexation, until the Renton
Comprehensive Plan is updated.
Responding to Councilmember Corman's inquiry regarding inverse
condemnation claims related to downzoning of property, City Attorney Warren
explained that the purpose of an inverse condemnation action is to receive
compensation for the elimination of all development potential on a parcel. He
stated that as long as the process is followed and Council uses its discretion to
establish area-wide zoning, there is no liability upon the Council.
Economic Development Administrator Pietsch reviewed the East Renton
Plateau PAA prezoning process. He explained that the Comprehensive Plan's
Residential Low Density designation allows three zones for this area, and noted
that the R-l zone boundary line was drawn where environmental constraints
exist. Mr. Pietsch pointed out that upon annexation, propeny owners can apply
for rezones, which will be considered on a parcel by parcel basis. Noting that a
majority and minority report will be issued by the Planning and Development
Committee, Mr. Pietsch described the difference between the two reports. He
stated staffs position that zoning the area R-1, where there is limited
development potential, better aligns with what the critical areas ordinance
should protect. (See page 10 for Planning and Development Committee
reports.)
Discussion ensued regarding the area's current King County zoning, how the
critical areas ordinance applies in relation to the zoning ordinance, the
deduction of environmental constraints from buildable property, the potential
availability of bonuses, and the intent to continue work on the development
regulations for the R-l and R-4 zones.
Susan Rider, 1835 NE 20th St., Renton, 98056, stated that the Kennydale
Critical Areas Alliance withdrew its SEPA appeal of the Kennydale Blueberry
Farm Comprehensive Plan amendment. She explained that with the
downzoning of the surrounding area, many residents have been asked to forego
maximum profit in developing their own properties in order to protect the peat
bog in Kennydale Creek headwaters. Ms. Rider expressed concern regarding
the City's efforts to upzone the farm wherein the actual peat wetland and
headwaters lie, which will increase the value of the property. She quoted
passages from Renton land use policy documents, and described how they
apply to the blueberry farm's environmental characteristics. Ms. Rider
concluded that the applicant for the amendment has not shown that the rezone
is appropriate and timely.
Debbie Natelson, 801 Renton Ave. S., Renton, 98057, spoke on the topic of the
Kennydale Blueberry Farm rezone, voicing concern regarding the City helping
the owner to potentially make a large profit on the property. Ms. Natelson said

this peat bog property is an incredible resource, and she stressed the importance
of wetland protection and stormwater management. She pointed out that what
happens with the property affects not only the local neighborhood, but the
entire region. In conclusion, she stated that even if the peat bog has been
degraded by
past construction, a degraded peat bog is better than a housing development in
regards to the ecological value.
Pete Eberle, 18225 SE 147th St., Renton, 98059, speaking on the East Renton
Plateau PAA prezoning, expressed support for annexation to Renton, and for R-
I and R-4 zoning as outlined by the majority report of the East Renton Plateau
Citizen Task Force.
William O'Connor, 10402 15 1st Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, urged Council to
reject any rezone of the Kennydale Blueberry Farm, saying that the property is
correctly zoned as Resource Conservation.
Ronda Bryant, East Renton Plateau Citizen Task Force Member, 6220 SE 2nd
PI., Renton. 98059, noted the desire of some people for larger lots for large
homes in the Renton area. She indicated Renton has more than enough
buildable land right now to meet Growth Management Act mandated
population. Ms. Bryant stated that R-I zoning is warranted in the East Renton
Plateau PAA due to the topography and hydrology of the area. She stressed
that the task force spent many hours discussing where to draw the boundary line
for the R-I zoning. Encouraging approval of the prezoning proposal, Ms.
Bryant pointed out that individual property zoning can be reviewed in the
future.
Robert Cave, 1813 NE 24th St., Renton, 98056, pointed out that the reason the
owner of the Kennydale Blueberry Farm is requesting a rezone is to increase
the value of the orooertv. Mr. Cave indicated that a rezone of the orooertv will .. , .. .
lend to the appearance that it can be developed resulting in more meetings and
community members opposing development. Mr. Cave asked that Council
reject the rezone
Responding to Councilmember Corman's inquiry regarding the status of the
Kennydale Blueberry Farm rezone, Economic Development Administrator
Pietsch reported that the matter was appealed prior to the issuance of the
Planning and Development Committee's recommendation. Now that the appeal
has been withdrawn, he indicated that the matter will be rescheduled in
Committee. Mr. Pietsch noted that the property owner originally requested R-8
zoning, and after working with the owner, staff and the Planning Commission
recommended R-4 zoning.
Barbara Hicks, 10402 151st Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, spoke against the rezone
of the Kennydale Blueberry Farm. She stated that the property should remain
zoned Resource Conservation, which will protect the wetland. Ms. Hicks
indicated that an upzone will detrimentally affect the well-being of this natural
resource.
Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the

A letter was read from Anita and Richard Oliohant. 16519 SE 145th St..
Renton, 98059, acknowledging the workable solution of the East Renton
Plateau Citizen Task Force and City staff regarding prezoninp, for the East . -. -
Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area. They expressed concern regarding
high-density development, and recommended that Council approve the
proposed prezoning.
Council President Nelson presented a Committee of the Whole report regarding
the East Renton Plateau annexation interlocal agreement with King County.
The Committee recommended concurrence in the staff recommendation to
approve an interlocal agreement with King County which will: transfer
properties related to the annexation of the East Renton Plateau area; set an
effective date of annexation; and transfer King County Annexation Initiative
funding to the City upon an affirmative annexation vote in February 2007.
The Committee accepted the technical amendments proposed by the
Metropolitan King County Council in its ratification of the same agreement on
12/4/2006, and incorporated those changes in the City's approved version of the
agreement. The Committee further recommended that the resolution
authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the interlocal agreement be
presented for reading and adoption. MOVED BY NELSON. SECONDED BY

(See page 12 for resolution.)
Majority Report: Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere
presented a majority report regarding the prezoning for the East Renton Plateau
Potential Annexation Area (PAA). The Committee majority recommended
concurrence in the Planning Commission recommendation to approve the
prezoning map as shown on the East Renton Plateau Planning Commission
preliminary recommendation map dated 12/14/2006. The Committee further
recommended that the ordinances establishing RC (Resource Conservation), R-
1 (Residential - one dwelling unit per net acre), R-4 (Residential - four dwelling
units per net acre), and R-8 (Residential - eight dwelling units per net acre)
zoning be presented for first and advanced to second reading.*
Minority Report: Planning and Development Committee Member Palmer
presented a minority report regarding the prezoning for the East Renton Plateau
PAA. The Committee minority recommended the prezoning map and
ordinance for the East Renton Plateau PAA be modified to change the proposed
R-1 zoned properties to R-4, hut to retain the proposed Resource Conservation
zoned properties as drafted. A further recommendation is to retain in
Committee the subject of critical areas regulations for discussion of whether the
critical ordinance regulations and implementation comply with City Council
desired policy direction.
*MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY LAW, COUNCIL CONCUR IN
THE MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT.*
Councilmember Corman expressed appreciation for the efforts of the East
Renton Plateau Citizen Task Force and the Planning Commission on this
matter. Councilmember Briere stated that she was impressed with the work of
the task force and Planning Commission, pointing out that the prezoning map
was very well thought out. Regarding the public comment, she indicated that
January 8,2007 Renton City Council Minutes Page I I
the majority of people favor the proposal.
Councilmember Palmer indicated that although she has a different opinion, she
appreciates the efforts of the task force and Planning Commission. She noted
that the proposed R-1 zoned areas are scattered throughout the PAA area, and
that most of the people who spoke for the R-l zone were on the task force or
part of the annexation effort.
Ms. Palmer pointed out that bonuses in the R-l zone may not help very many
people. She further pointed out that the environmental features in the area will
take care of themselves, which is why she is recommending another look at the
critical areas ordinance. Ms. Palmer stated that at the Planning and
Development Committee meeting she heard some skepticism in staffs
presentation as to whether the critical areas ordinance is doing what it is
supposed to do. For consistency, she recommended R-4 zoning for the area,
emphasizing that the environmental features will dictate whether the property is
buildable or not. Ms. Palmer concluded that R-4 zoning is more consistent with
Council's past decisions.
Councilmember Briere said the areas proposed for R-l zoning are the most
environmentally constrained and should be protected.
Councilmember Clawson stated that the R-1 designated areas do contain more
environmental features than the rest of the area. In regard to density, he noted
that more houses will create more water runoff. Mr. Clawson further noted that
the proposed zoning more closely relates to the expectations of future property
buyers, and that owners can request rezones without a Comprehensive Plan
amendment.
Responding to Councilmember Corman's question, Economic Development
Administrator Pietsch explained that all eligible zones within a Comprehensive
Plan designation can be considered for a rezone by the Hearing Examiner.
Councilmember Persson commented that R- l zoning raises expectations of
future property buyers, and people need to understand that an R-l zoned parcel
could potentially be rezoned to R-4.
City Attorney Warren pointed out that the final decision regarding a rezone is
made by Council via an ordinance.

AIRPORT FINANCIAL AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OPTIONS TO
THE TRANSPORTATION (AVIATION) COMMITTEE. CARRIED.
Responding to Councilmember Persson's inquiry. Councilmember Briere
indicated that the topic of the Highlands Task Force membership and tasks is in
the Planning and Development Committee.
Councilmember Persson voiced concern regarding potential transportation
problems if an arena is sited in North Renton for the Seattle Sonics professional
basketball team and other events. Mayor Keolker stated the City has been in
contact with North Renton neighborhood representatives who are developing a
list of concerns in case this happens. She assured that nothing has been
decided, and stressed that Council will be kept apprised of any developments.
Nancy Osborn, Planning Commission Member, 4635 Morris Ave. S., Renton,
98055, questioned why Councilmember Palmer voted against the ordinance that
rezoned a 1,350.41 acre parcel from R-4 to R-4. Councilmember Palmer
replied it was an oversight due to the large number of similar ordinances.
Inez Petersen, PO Box 1295, Renton, 98057, expressed her hope that the City
will grandfather in Jeff Colee's over-height fence under the ADA (Americans
with Disabilities Act) requirements for zoning. Additionally, Ms. Petersen
objected to the granting of multi-family housing property tax exemptions to
developers and the return of lodging tax funding to businesses while sidewalk
repairs and other infrastructure improvements in Renton are needed.
Councilmember Persson explained that State law requires that tax collected
from the rental of hotel rooms only be used for promotional purposes to
encourage people to come to Renton. He noted that some members of the
Renton Lodging Tax Advisory Committee are business representatives required
to collect taxes.

through the appointment of state fiscal agencies. The City shall cause a bond register to be
maintained by the Bond Registrar. So long as any Bonds remain outstanding, the Bond
Registrar shall make all necessary provisions to permit the exchange or registration or transfer
of Bonds at its principal corporate trust office. The Bond Registrar may be removed at any time
at the option of the Finance Director upon prior notice to the Bond Registrar and a successor

all of the Bond Registrar's powers and duties under this ordinance. The Bond Registrar shall be

Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Payment of any such Bond shall be
ORDINANCE NO. 5534

provided. All such payments made as described in Section 4(h) shall be valid and shall satisfy
and discharge the liability of the City upon such Bond to the extent of the amount or amounts
so paid.
(c) DTCAcceptance/Letters of Representations. The Bonds initially shall be held in
fully immobilized form by DTC acting as depository. To induce DTC to accept the Bonds as
eligible for deposit at DTC, the City has executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations. Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar will have any responsibility or
obligation to DTC participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees (or any successor
depository) with respect to the Bonds in respect of the accuracy of any records maintained by
DTC (or any successor depository) or any DTC participant, the payment by DTC (or any
successor depository) or any DTC participant of any amount in respect of the principal of or
interest on Bonds, any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Registered Owners
under this ordinance (except such notices as shall be required to be given by the City to the
Bond Registrar or to DTC (or any successor depository)), or any consent given or other action
taken by DTC (or any successor depository) as the Registered Owner. For so long as any Bonds
are held in fully-immobilized form hereunder, DTC or its successor depository shall be deemed
to be the Registered Owner for all purposes hereunder, and all references herein to the
Registered Owners shall mean DTC (or any successor depository) or its nominee and shall not
mean the owners of any beneficial interest in such Bonds.
ORDINANCE NO. 5534
If any Bond shall be duly presented for payment and funds have not been duly provided
by the City on such applicable date, then interest shall continue to accrue thereafter on the
unpaid principal thereof at the rate stated on such Bond until it is paid.
(d) Use of Depository.
(1) The Bonds shall be registered initially in the name of "Cede & Co.", as
nominee of DTC, with one Bond maturing on each of the maturity dates for the Bonds in a
denomination corresponding to the total principal therein designated to mature on such date.
Registered ownership of such immobilized Bonds, or any portions thereof, may not thereafter
be transferred except (A) to any successor of DTC or its nominee, provided that any such
successor shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the service proposed to be
provided by it; (B) to any substitute depository appointed by the Finance Director pursuant to
subsection (2) below or such substitute depository's successor; or (C) to any person as provided
in subsection (4) below.
(2) Upon the resignation of DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository
or its successor) from its functions as depository or a determination by the Finance Director to
discontinue the system of book entry transfers through DTC or its successor (or any substitute
depository or its successor), the Finance Director may hereafter appoint a substitute
depository. Any such substitute depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to
provide the services proposed to be provided by it.
(3) In the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of subsection (1)
above, the Bond Registrar shall, upon receipt of all outstanding Bonds, together with a written
request on behalf of the Finance Director, issue a single new Bond for each maturity then
ORDINANCE NO. 5534
outstanding, registered in the name of such successor or such substitute depository, or their
nominees, as the case may be, all as specified in such written request of the Finance Director.
(4) In the event that (A) DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its
successor) resigns from its functions as depository, and no substitute depositon/ can be
obtained, or (B) the Finance Director determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial
owners of the Bonds that such owners be able to obtain such bonds in the form of Bond
certificates, the ownership of such Bonds may then be transferred to any person or entity as
herein provided, and shall no longer be held in fully-immobilized form. The Finance Director
shall deliver a written request to the Bond Registrar, together with a supply of definitive Bonds,
to issue Bonds as herein provided in any authorized denomination. Upon receipt by the Bond
Registrar of all then outstanding Bonds together with a written request on behalf of the Finance
Director to the Bond Registrar, new Bonds shall be issued in the appropriate denominations and
registered in the names of such persons as are requested in such written request.
(e) Registration of Transfer of Ownership or Exchange; Change in Denominations.
The transfer of any Bond may be registered and Bonds may be exchanged, but no transfer of
any such Bond shall be valid unless it is surrendered to the Bond Registrar with the assignment
form appearing on such Bond duly executed by the Registered Owner or such Registered
Owner's duly authorized agent in a manner satisfactory to the Bond Registrar. Upon such
surrender, the Bond Registrar shall cancel the surrendered Bond and shall authenticate and
deliver, without charge to the Registered Owner or transferee therefor, a new Bond (or Bonds
at the option of the new Registered Owner) of the same date, maturity and interest rate and
for the same aggregate principal amount in any authorized denomination, naming as Registered
ORDINANCE NO. 5534
Owner the person or persons listed as the assignee on the assignment form appearing on the
surrendered Bond, in exchange for such surrendered and cancelled Bond. Any Bond may be
surrendered to the Bond Registrar and exchanged, without charge, for an equal aggregate
principal amount of Bonds of the same date, maturity and interest rate, in any authorized
denomination. The Bond Registrar shall not be obligated to register the transfer or to exchange
any Bond during the 15 days preceding any interest payment or principal payment date any
such Bond is to be redeemed.

officers or directors to act as member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any
committee formed to protect the right of the Registered Owners of Bonds.

surrendered and canceled, it will maintain a system for recording the ownership of each Bond
that complies with the provisions of Section 149 of the Code.
(h) Place and Medium of Payment. 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
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and twelve 30-day months. For so long as all
Bonds are in fully immobilized form, payments of principal and interest thereon shall be made

preceding the interest payment date, or upon the written request of a Registered Owner of
more than $1,000,000 of Bonds (received by the Bond Registrar at least 15 days prior to the
applicable payment date), such payment shall be made by the Bond Registrar by wire transfer
to the account within the continental United States designated by the Registered Owner.

held in uncertificated form, the selection of such Bonds to be redeemed and the surrender and
reissuance thereof, as applicable, shall be made as provided in the following provisions of this
subsection (c). If the City redeems at any one time fewer than all of the Bonds having the same
ORDINANCE NO. 5534
maturity date, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall
be selected by lot (or in such manner determined by the Registrar) in increments of $5,000. In
the case of a Bond of a denomination greater than $5,000, the City and the Bond Registrar shall
treat each Bond as representing such number of separate Bonds each of the denomination of
$5,000 as is obtained by dividing the actual principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. In the
event that only a portion of the principal sum of a Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of such
Bond at the principal office of the Bond Registrar there shall be issued to the Registered Owner,
without charge therefor, for the then unredeemed balance of the principal sum thereof, at the
option of the Registered Owner, a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest rate in any of the
denominations herein authorized.

will provide any notice of redemption to any Beneficial Owners. Thereafter (if the Bonds are no
longer held in uncertificated form), notice of redemption shall be given in the manner
hereinafter provided. Unless waived by any owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of

receipt of sufficient funds for redemption or otherwise) shall be given by the Bond Registrar on
behalf of the City by mailing a copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail at least
20 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered
ORDINANCE NO. 5534
Owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Register or at such
other address as is furnished in writing by such Registered Owner to the Bond Registrar.
In the case of an optional redemption, the notice of redemption may state that the City
retains the right to rescind that notice on or prior to the scheduled redemption date, and that
notice and optional redemption shall be of no effect to the extent that the City gives notice to
the affected Registered Owners at any time on or prior to the scheduled redemption date that
the City is rescinding the redemption notice in whole or in part. Any Bonds subject to a
rescinded notice of redemption are to remain outstanding, and the rescission will not
constitute a default hereunder.
All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state:
(A) the redemption date,
(B) the redemption price,
(C) if fewer than all outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the
identification by maturity (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal

surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be
paid by the Bond Registrar at the redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to
the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. All Bonds
which have been redeemed shall be canceled and destroyed by the Bond Registrar and shall not
be reissued.
(3) Additional Notice. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall
be given by the City as set out below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give
all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for
redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed. Each further notice of redemption
given hereunder shall contain the information required above for an official notice of
redemption plus (A) the CUSlP numbers of all Bonds being redeemed; (6) the date of issue of
the Bonds as originally issued; (C) the rate of interest borne by each Bond being redeemed;

additional information as the City shall deem appropriate, but such mailings shall not be a
condition precedent to the redemption of such Bonds.

Section 5, including but not limited to the information to be included in redemption notices and

Bonds pursuant to Section 148 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder which,
if such use had been reasonably expected on the dates of delivery of the Bonds to the initial
purchasers thereof, would have caused the Bonds to be treated as "arbitrage bonds" within the
meaning of such term as used in Section 148 of the Code.
ORDINANCE NO. 5534

applicable regulations thereunder throughout the term of the Bonds.

preserve the tax exemption of the interest on the Bonds.

to assure the continued exemption from regular income taxation of the interest on the Bonds.

for shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security of this ordinance except the right to
receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest from the Bond Fund or such special
account, and such Bond shall be deemed to be not outstanding under this ordinance.
The City shall give written notice of defeasance to the owners of all Bonds so provided
for within 30 days of the defeasance and to each party entitled to receive notice in accordance
with Section 14 of this ordinance.
Section 12. Sale of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be sold by negotiated sale to the
Underwriter pursuant to the terms of the Bond Purchase Agreement. The Designated City
Representative is hereby authorized to negotiate terms for the purchase of the Bonds and
execute the Bond Purchase Agreement, with such terms as are approved the Designated City
Representative pursuant to this section and consistent with this ordinance. The Underwriter
has advised the Council that market conditions are fluctuating and, as a result, the most
favorable market conditions may occur on a day other than a regular meeting date of the
Council. The Council has determined that it would be in the best interest of the City to delegate
to the Designated City Representative for a limited time the authority to determine whether to
proceed with the refunding of the Refunded Bonds, to designate which of the callable ZOO1
Bonds shall be the Refunded Bonds, and to approve the final interest rates, maturity dates,
aggregate principal amount, redemption rights and principal amounts of each maturity of the
Bonds. The Designated City Representative is hereby authorized to determine whether to
ORDINANCE NO. 5534
proceed with the refunding of the Refunded Bonds if and to the extent that the aggregate
savings to be realized as a result of the refunding of the Refunded Bonds (i.e., the present value
of (i) the aggregate debt service on the Refunded Bonds minus (ii) the aggregate debt service
on the Refunding Bonds, after payment of all costs of issuance' of the Bonds), exceed the
Savings Target. The Designated City Representative is further authorized to approve the final
interest rates, maturity dates, aggregate principal amount, and principal amounts of each
maturity of the Bonds in the manner provided hereafter so long as (i) the aggregate principal
amount of all Bonds does not exceed $6,800,000; and (ii) the true interest cost for the Bonds
does not exceed 4%.
In determining whether or not to proceed with bond insurance and determining the
final interest rates, aggregate principal amounts, principal maturities and redemption rights,
the Designated City Representative shall take into account those factors that, in such
individual's judgment, will result in the lowest true interest cost on the Bonds to their maturity,
including, but not limited to current financial market conditions and current interest rates for
obligations comparable in tenor and quality to the Bonds.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this section, the Designated City
Representative is hereby authorized to execute the final form of the Bond Purchase Agreement,
upon the Designated City Representative's designation of the Refunded Bonds and approval of
the final interest rates, aggregate principal amount, principal maturities and redemption rights
set forth therein. Following the execution of the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Designated
City Representative shall provide a report to the Council, describing the final terms of the Bonds
approved pursuant to the authority delegated in this section. The authority granted to the
ORDINANCE NO. 5534
Designated City Representative by this section shall expire 120 days after the date of approval
of this ordinance. If a Bond Purchase Agreement for the Bonds has not been executed within
120 days after the date of final approval of this ordinance, the authorization for the issuance of
the Bonds shall be rescinded, and the Bonds shall not be issued nor their sale approved unless
such Bonds shall have been re-authorized by ordinance of the Council. The ordinance re-
authorizing the issuance and sale of such Bonds may be in the form of a new ordinance
repealing this ordinance in whole or in part or may be in the form of an amendatory ordinance
approving a bond purchase agreement or establishing terms and conditions for the authority
delegated under this ordinance.
Upon the passage and approval of this ordinance, the proper officials of the City
including the Designated City Representative, are authorized and directed to undertake all
actions necessary for the prompt execution and delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter
thereof and further to execute all closing certificates and documents required to effect the

money and securities in the Escrow Fund to be reduced below an amount sufficient to provide
for the full and timely payment of principal of and interest on all of the remaining Refunded
Bonds as they become due, taking into account any optional redemption thereof exercised by
the City in connection with such transaction; and (b) the Escrow Agent shall have received the
unqualified written legal opinion of its bond counsel or tax counsel to the effect that such

reinvestment shall be made of cash balances in the Escrow Fund. Cash balances shall be held
by the Escrow Agent in United States currency as cash balances as shown on the books and

the City promptly of any such occurrence.
The recitals herein and in the proceedings authorizing the Refunding Bonds shall be
taken as the statements of the City and shall not be considered as made by, or imposing any
obligation or liability upon, the Escrow Agent.
The Escrow Agent is not a party to the proceedings authorizing the Refunding Bonds or
the Refunded Bonds and is not responsible for nor bound by any of the provisions thereof
(except to the extent that the Escrow Agent may be a place of payment and paying agent
and/or a paying agentlregistrar therefor). In its capacity as Escrow Agent, it is agreed that the
Escrow Agent need look only to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

the Escrow Fund, or any part thereof, or as to the title of the City thereto, or as to the security
afforded thereby or hereby, and the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability or responsibility
in respect to any of such matters.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Escrow Agent shall never be required to
use or advance its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder.
The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or neglected to be taken by it
in good faith in any exercise of reasonable care and believed by it to be within the discretion or
power conferred upon it by this Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for the
consequences of any error of judgment; and the Escrow Agent shall not be answerable except
for its own neglect or willful misconduct, nor for any loss unless the same shall have been
through its negligence or bad faith.
Unless it is specifically otherwise provided herein, the Escrow Agent has no duty to
determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of any event or contingency or the
performance or failure of performance of the City with respect to arrangements or contracts
with others, with the Escrow Agent's sole duty hereunder being to safeguard the Escrow Fund,
to dispose of and deliver the same in accordance with this Agreement. If, however, the Escrow
Agent is called upon by the terms of this Agreement to determine the occurrence of any event
or contingency, the Escrow Agent shall be obligated, in making such determination, only to
exercise reasonable care and diligence, and in event of error in making such determination the
Escrow Agent shall be liable only for its own willful misconduct or its negligence. In
determining the occurrence of any such event or contingency the Escrow Agent may request
from the City or any other person such reasonable additional evidence as the Escrow Agent in
its discretion may deem necessary to determine any fact relating to the occurrence of such
ORDINANCE NO. 5534 -
event or contingency, and in this connection may make inquiries of, and consult with, among
others, the City at any time.

in any other capacity, or for reimbursement for any of its expenses as Escrow Agent or in any
other capacity.

Any corporation, association or other entity into which the Escrow Agent may be
converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or otherwise
transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets and business or any corporation,
association or other entity resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or
other transfer to which it is a party, ipso facto, shall be and become successor escrow agent
hereunder, vested with all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing
of any instrument or any further act on the part of the parties hereto, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary.
If at any time the Escrow Agent or its legal successor or successors should become
unable, through operation or law or otherwise, to act as escrow agent hereunder, or if its
property and affairs shall be taken under the control of any state or federal court or
administrative body because of insolvency or bankruptcy or for any other reason, a vacancy
shall forthwith exist in the office of Escrow Agent hereunder. In such event the City, by
appropriate action, promptly shall appoint an Escrow Agent to fill such vacancy. If no successor
Escrow Agent shall have been appointed by the City within 60 days, a successor may be
appointed by the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then
outstanding by an instrument or instruments in writing filed with the City, signed by such
owners or by their duly authorized attorneys-in-fact. If, in a proper case, no appointment of a
successor Escrow Agent shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this section
within three months after a vacancy shall have occurred, the owner of any Refunded Bond may
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. Such court
may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, prescribe and appoint a

PUBLIC HEARING
CED: Declaring a Moratorium,
Adult Entertainment Business
Permitting
Renton City Council Minutes Page 88
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to
consider the moratorium on the.permitting of adult businesses for a period of
six months and to assess whether change or measured action is necessary to
the existing ordinance. Mayor Law emphasized that the intent of the hearing is
to consider public input regarding the moratorium.
MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL ALLOW EACH SPEAKER
THREE MINUTES TO TESTIFY ON THIS TOPIC. CARRIED.
Current Planning ManagerJennifer Henning reported that Council passed
Resolution #4037 on 3/1/2010 that declared a six-month moratorium on the
permitting of adult entertainment businesses in the City. She stated that the
moratorium will expire on 9/1/2010 unless extended by Council. Ms. Henning
further reported that the existing adult entertainment regulations originated
over 25 years ago and currently allow adult entertainment businesses in the
Employment Area Valley designation of the City's Comprehensive Plan. She
explained that the area is bordered by 1-405 to the north, SR 167 to the east,
SW 43rd St. on the south, and the border with the City of Tukwila on the west.
Ms. Henning stated that over the past 25 years the Employment Area Valley has
changed substantially and therefore it is appropriate and timely to revisit the
regulations. She remarked that public testimony is being requested and any
potential negative secondary effects from adult entertainment will be
evaluated. Ms. Henning stated that an appropriate legislative response will be
developed to mitigate or diminish any impacts.
Council President Persson clarified that 25 years ago legislation was passed that
removed these types of businesses from the City's downtown core. He
remarked that the City was sued and the case was eventually seen by the
United States Supreme Court. Mr. Persson noted that although the City won
the case, it could not ban adult entertainment businesses outright, and
therefore used zoning as way to relocate them to the valley area. He
commented that the new club has met all the proper requirements and has
been issued a business license.
City Attorney Warren remarked that the City's case isthe leading case in the
United States on the zoning of adult entertainment. He stated that the
Supreme Court determined that nude dancing is an expression that is protected
by the first amendment, and the City is reviewing zoning regulations that will
ultimately limit or mitigate any potential negative secondary effects from these
types of businesses.
Public comment was invited.
Becky Roberts (King County) expressed support for the moratorium and
opposition to any further permitting of adult businesses within the City.
David McAlister (Renton) acknowledged that the strip club can legally operate
under current ordinances, but urged Council to stop permitting similar
businesses. Pastor McAlister expressed support for the moratorium and
recited several crime statistics as reasons for opposing adult entertainment.
Tandi McAlister (Renton) expressed support for the moratorium and opposition
to adult entertainment businesses within the City.

children to attend the strip club.
Laurie Palmer (King County) expressed support for the moratorium and
requested that it be extended. She opined that 18-year-olds are not mature

and urged Council to prevent any similar businesses from opening in the
community.
Katie Hood (Kent) expressed support for the moratorium and opposition to any
further permitting of adult businesses within City limits.
Chris Palmer (King County) expressed support for the moratorium. He

restrictions be put in place to discourage adult businesses from locating in
Renton.

issue and support for the moratorium. He also expressed opposition to any
further permitting of adult entertainment businesses and opined that crime will

issue. He stated that he is mostly concerned about the safety of the City's adult
children.
Joseph McLean (Renton) opined that the new club is not in an industrial area
and he does not believe the City needs taxes from this type of business. He
expressed appreciation for the moratorium and stated that if the business is
found to be unprofitable, other similar businesses will not move to Renton.
Steven Brady (King County) expressed support for the moratorium and
explained that a proliferation of adult businesses in Renton would negatively
influence his decision to buy a home in the area.
Greg Larsen (Renton) urged Council to exercise as much authority as possible to
discourage adult entertainment businesses from locating in Renton. He
acknowledged that some responsibility lies with City residents, and remarked
that the club should be empty when it opens for business.
Darlene Larsen (Renton) expressed opposition to adult entertainment and the
exploitation of women. She remarked that 55 sex offenders live within a two-
mile radius of the new club and questioned whether or not their access to the
club would be restricted. Ms. Larsen remarked that members of Celebration
Church actively serve the community and expressed support for the
moratorium.

Roxanne Conklin (Kent) expressed support for the moratorium and opposition
to any adult businesses in the Renton area.
Marcie Maki (Seattle) requested that Council extend the moratorium in order
to conduct extensive studies to determine what effects adult businesses have
on the community. She shared her experience as a director of early learning
programs and remarked that no parent or teacher has ever asked her to
provide resources that would enable children to grow up to be in the adult
entertainment business.
April Wood (Renton) expressed support for the moratorium and opposition to
any further permitting of adult businesses within City limits.
Lori Madson (Renton) commented that she works in the vicinity of the new

entertainment businesses within City limits.

to any further permitting of adult businesses within City limits.

all current and future adult entertainment businesses within City Limits.
Stuart Cook (Renton) shared the reasons why he chose to live in Renton and
remarked that he is now questioning what effects adult entertainment
businesses will have on the City. He urged Council to maintain the moratorium
to determine any long-term effects they may have on the City.
Lisa Hood (Renton) remarked that the regulations are 25 years old and this is an
opportunity for Council to make a positive change for Renton. She emphasized
that the community does not agree with the outdated regulations and
encouraged City officials and staff to take this into consideration when crafting
new legislation.
Dan Palmer (Renton) opined that adult entertainment businesses will lead to
increased crime rates. He expressed concern regarding the fact that small
children can see the club's sign advertising nude showgirls. Mr. Palmer urged
Council to use all appropriate legal measures to clamp down on illegal activity
to dissuade similar businesses from locating in Renton.
Kristy Chang (Renton) shared her experience as a Renton School District teacher
and remarked that children need their parents to be home instilling morals and
values and not spending time away from their families. She expressed support
for the moratorium.
Valeria A. Dreas (Renton) shared her experience as a commercial real estate
appraiser and remarked that this type of business can have negative effects on
property values. Ms. Dreas also expressed opposition to any kind of business
that degrades and objectifies women.

entertainment establishments may have on the community.
City Attorney Warren further clarified that the hearing was for Council to
consider whether or not to continue the moratorium. He remarked that no
action is required, and that the moratorium will continue for the specified
period of time unless Council determines that there has not been adequate
time to do studies necessary to pass appropriate legislation. Mr. Warren stated
that the moratorium can be extended, but emphasized that it cannot be
continued indefinitely.
Chief Administrative Officer Covington reviewed a written administrative report
summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs
adopted as part of its business plan for 2010 and beyond. Item noted included:
d Renton's Public Works Maintenance Shops use three street sweepers to
provide year-round sweeping of all City streets. It takes between six weeks
and two months to sweep all 550 lane miles of City streets. One night
sweeper covers the downtown core and the central business district as well
as City parking lots between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. The City provides heavy
sweeping in the fall to remove fallen leaves and prevent them from
clogging drains, and also to remove sand that is applied for traction during
winter storms. In newer annexation areas, the City has found that many
areas require repeated sweepings to remove accumulated dirt and grass on
the street edge and shoulders.
Items listed on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows
the listing.

Chambers.
April 5, 2010 Renton City Council Minutes Page 101
Councilmember Corman remarked that although some meetings are held off-
camera, every Committee meeting is announced and open to the public. He
stated that Council was briefed on the Parks Expulsion ordinance and debated
the issue during the Committee of the Whole meeting (on 3/1/2010). Mr.
Corman recalled questioning various parts of the ordinance including whether
someone could be expelled for bringing a bottle of wine into a park and the
hearing process for individuals who are expelled from City parks.
Councilmember Parker pointed out that the City has working committees
where nearly every issue that is brought before the Council is deliberated on
prior to being approved or disapproved by the Council as a whole. He
emphasized that a great deal of attention, including spirited debate at times,
has been conducted on issues presented to the whole Council. He
acknowledged that it may appear that there is not much explanation for certain
issues, including consent agenda items, but emphasized that each
Councilmember is given ample time to review every item prior to a Council
meeting.

payment of such principal and interest. The City’s ability to raise taxes is subject to certain limitations as described

thereof other than the City.
TAX EXEMPTION—In the opinion of K&L Gates LLP of Seattle, Washington (“Bond Counsel”), assuming compliance with certain
covenants of the City, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law.
Interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of either individual or corporate alternative minimum tax.
Interest on the Bonds may be indirectly subject to corporate alternative minimum tax and certain other taxes imposed on certain
corporations. See “Tax Matters” herein for a discussion of the opinion of Bond Counsel.
DELIVERY—The Bonds are offered for sale to the original purchaser subject to the final approving legal opinion of Bond
Counsel. It is expected that the Bonds will be available for delivery to the Bond Registrar on behalf of DTC by Fast
Automated Securities Transfer, on or about May 11, 2010.

from the date of their delivery to the Underwriter. The Bonds will mature on the dates and in the principal
amounts and will bear interest (payable semiannually on each June 1 and December 1, commencing
December 1, 2010) until the maturity of the Bonds at the rates set forth on the cover of this Official Statement.
Interest on the Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360‐day year consisting of twelve 30‐day months.
Bond Registrar and Registration Features
The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and, when issued, will be registered in the name of CEDE &
Co., as registered owner and nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). DTC will act as securities
depository for the Bonds. Individual purchases will initially be made in book‐entry form only in minimum
denominations of $5,000 within a maturity and integral multiples thereof. Purchasers (“Beneficial Owners”)
will not receive certificates representing their beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds so purchased.
Under the Ordinance, the City adopted the system of registration for the Bonds approved by the State Finance
Committee of the State of Washington (the “Committee”). Pursuant to chapter 43.80 RCW, the Committee
designates one or more fiscal agencies (the “Fiscal Agency”) for bonds issued within the State of Washington.
The Committee currently is under contract with The Bank of New York Mellon, New York, New York. The
Fiscal Agency will act as bond registrar (the “Bond Registrar”) under the terms of the Ordinance.
In order to meet payment requirements for interest on and principal of the Bonds as the same becomes due
and payable, the City will remit money from the City of Renton Limited Tax General Obligation Bond Debt
Service Fund (the “Bond Fund”) to the Bond Registrar. The Bond Registrar will remit payment to DTC in
accordance with the terms of the DTC procedures as then in effect. Principal of the Bonds will be paid to
registered owners upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds at maturity or upon earlier redemption to the
office of the Bond Registrar in New York, New York. See “Book‐Entry Bonds” and Appendix B.
Redemption Provisions
Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing on or prior to __________, ____ are not subject to redemption prior
to maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after __________, ____ may be redeemed at the option of the City on or
after June 1, 2020, at par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
* Preliminary, subject to change.
2
For as long as the Bonds are in book‐entry only form, if fewer than all of the Bonds of a maturity are called for
redemption, the selection of Bonds within a maturity to be redeemed shall be made by DTC, in accordance
with its operational procedures then in effect. See Appendix B attached hereto. If the Bonds are no longer
held in book‐entry only form, then the Bond Registrar will select Bonds for redemption as provided in the
Ordinance.
Notice of Redemption. For so long as the Bonds are held in uncertificated form, notice of redemption (which
notice may be conditional) shall be given in accordance with the operational arrangements of DTC as then in
effect, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar will provide any notice of redemption to any Beneficial
Owners. Thereafter (if the Bonds are no longer held in uncertificated form), notice of redemption shall be
given as provided in the Ordinance. Unless waived by any owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of
any such redemption (which redemption may be conditioned by the Bond Registrar on the receipt of sufficient
funds for redemption or otherwise) shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing a
copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail at least 20 days and not more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown
on the register maintained by the Bond Registrar or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such
registered owner to the Bond Registrar.
In the case of an optional redemption, the notice of redemption may state that the City retains the right to
rescind that notice on or prior to the scheduled redemption date, and that notice and optional redemption
shall be of no effect to the extent that the City gives notice to the affected registered owners at any time on or
prior to the scheduled redemption date that the City is rescinding the redemption notice in whole or in part.
Any Bonds subject to a rescinded notice of redemption are to remain outstanding, and the rescission will not
constitute a default under the Ordinance.
Purchase
The City reserves the right to purchase any of the Bonds offered to it at any time at a price deemed reasonable
by the City. Bonds purchased by the City shall be cancelled.
Book‐Entry Bonds
The ownership of one fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds, as set forth on the cover of this
Official Statement, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, will be registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. See Appendix B attached hereto for additional information concerning DTC
and the book‐entry system.
Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar will have any responsibility or obligation to DTC participants or the
persons for whom they act as nominees (or any successor depository) with respect to the Bonds in respect of
the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC (or any successor depository) or any DTC participant, the
payment by DTC (or any successor depository) or any DTC participant of any amount in respect of the
principal of or interest on Bonds, any notice which is permitted or required to be given to registered owners
under the Ordinance (except such notices as are required to be given by the City to the Bond Registrar or to
DTC (or any successor depository)), or any consent given or other action taken by DTC (or any successor
depository) as the registered owner. For so long as any Bonds are held in fully‐immobilized form under the
Ordinance, DTC or its successor depository will be deemed to be the registered owner for all purposes
thereunder, and all references therein to the registered owners will mean DTC (or any successor depository) or
its nominee and will not mean the owners of any beneficial interest in such Bonds.
Procedure in the Event of Discontinuation of Book‐Entry Transfer System. In the event that (i) DTC or its successor
(or substitute depository or its successor) resigns from its functions as depository, and no substitute depository
can be obtained, or (ii) the Finance and Information Services Administrator (referred to herein as the “Finance
Director”) determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds that such owners be
able to obtain such Bonds in the form of Bond certificates, the ownership of the Bonds may then be transferred
to any person or entity as provided in the Ordinance, and will no longer be held in fully‐immobilized form. In
the event that the Bonds are no longer in fully immobilized form, interest on the Bonds will be paid by check
or draft mailed to the registered owners at the addresses for such registered owners appearing on the Bond
Register on the fifteenth day of the month preceding the interest payment date, or upon the written request of
3
a registered owner of more than $1,000,000 of Bonds (received by the Bond Registrar at least 15 days prior to
the applicable payment date), such payment shall be made by the Bond Registrar by wire transfer to the
account within the continental United States designated by the registered owner. Principal of the Bonds will
be payable upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds by the registered owners at the principal office of
the Bond Registrar.
Purpose and Use of Proceeds
Purpose
The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used to (i) refund a portion of the City’s outstanding general
obligation debt to obtain the benefit of savings in annual and total debt service requirements and (ii) pay costs
of issuance of the Bonds.
Plan of Refunding
Depending on market conditions on the day of pricing, the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used to
advance refund up to $6,000,000 of the City’s Limited Tax General Obligation and Refunding Bonds, 2001
maturing on December 1 in the years 2018 and 2019 and the term bond maturing on December 1, 2021 (as
identified below, the “Refunded Bond Candidates,” and as selected on the pricing date, the “Refunded
Bonds”). The proceeds of the Bonds will be escrowed to the redemption date for the Refunded Bonds on
December 1, 2011 at which time the Refunded Bonds will be redeemed at a price of par plus accrued interest to
the date of redemption.
From a portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, the City will purchase certain direct non‐callable United States
Government Obligations (as further defined below as “Government Obligations”), including obligations of the
State and Local Government Series (“SLGS”). These Government Obligations will be deposited in the custody
of U.S. Bank National Association (the “Escrow Agent”). The maturing principal of the Government
Obligations, interest earned thereon, and necessary cash balance, if any, will provide payment of:
(a) interest on the Refunded Bonds when due up to and including December 1, 2011; and
(b) on December 1, 2011, the redemption price (par) of the Refunded Bonds.
The Government Obligations, interest earned thereon, and necessary cash balance, if any, will irrevocably be
pledged to and held in trust for the benefit of the owners of the Refunded Bonds by the Escrow Agent,
pursuant to an escrow deposit agreement to be executed by the City and the Escrow Agent.
Information on the Refunded Bond Candidates is as follows:

Verification of Mathematical Calculations
Grant Thornton LLP, a firm of independent certified public accountants, will deliver on or before the delivery
date of the Bonds its verification report indicating that it has verified, in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the mathematical accuracy of (a) the
mathematical computations of the adequacy of the cash and the maturing principal of and interest on the
Government Obligations, to pay, when due, the interest on and redemption price of the Refunded Bonds and
(b) the mathematical computations of yield used by Bond Counsel to support its opinion that interest on the
Bonds will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Security for the Bonds
General
The Bonds are limited tax general obligation bonds of the City. The City, as authorized by law and the
Ordinance, has covenanted and agreed irrevocably that it will include in its budget and levy an ad valorem tax
upon all the property within the City subject to taxation an amount that will be sufficient, together with all
other revenues and money of the City legally available for such purposes, to pay the principal of and interest
on the Bonds as the same become due. The City has irrevocably pledged that such tax will be within and as a
part of the tax levy permitted to cities without a vote of the people. The full faith, credit and resources of the
City have been pledged irrevocably for the annual levy and collection of such taxes and for the prompt
payment of such principal and interest.
The City’s imposition of regular property taxes is subject to various limitations (see “Taxing Authority –
Regular Property Tax Limitations” herein). The Bonds are expected to be paid from the City’s available
resources, and the City does not anticipate tax increases will be needed to pay debt service on the Bonds.
Subject to applicable laws, the City may apply other funds available to make payments with respect to the
Bonds and thereby reduce the amount of future tax levies for such purpose.
The Bonds do not constitute a debt or indebtedness of the State or any political subdivision thereof other than
the City.
Defeasance
In the event that the City, in order to effect the payment, retirement or redemption of any Bond, sets aside in
the Bond Fund or in another special account, cash or noncallable Government Obligations, or any combination
of cash and/or noncallable Government Obligations, in amounts and maturities which, together with the
known earned income therefrom, are sufficient to redeem or pay and retire such Bond in accordance with its
terms and to pay when due the interest and redemption premium, if any, thereon, and such cash and/or
noncallable Government Obligations are irrevocably set aside and pledged for such purpose, then no further
payments need be made into the Bond Fund for the payment of the principal of and interest on such Bond.
The owner of a Bond so provided for will cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security of the Ordinance
except the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest from the Bond Fund or such
special account, and such Bond will be deemed to be not outstanding under the Ordinance.
“Government Obligations” is defined in the Ordinance to have the meaning specified in RCW 39.53.010, as it
may be amended from time to time, which currently means any of the following: (a) direct obligations of, or
obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of
America, and bank certificates of deposit secured by such obligations; (b) bonds, debentures, notes,
participation certificates or other obligations issued by the Banks for Cooperatives, the Federal Intermediate
5
Credit Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank system, the Export‐Import Bank of the United States, Federal Land
Banks or the Federal National Mortgage Association; (c) public housing bonds and project notes fully secured
by contracts with the United States; and (d) obligations of financial institutions insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, to the extent insured or to the
extent guaranteed as permitted under any other provision of State law.
No Acceleration
The Bonds are not subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of a default. The City, therefore, would be liable
only for principal and interest payments as they become due. In the event of multiple defaults in payment of
principal of or interest on the Bonds, the registered owners would be required to bring a separate action for
each such payment not made. This could give rise to a difference in interests between registered owners of
earlier and later maturing Bonds.
Bonded Indebtedness
As prescribed by State statutes, the unlimited tax general obligation indebtedness permitted for cities, subject to
a 60 percent majority vote of registered voters, is limited to 2.5 percent of assessed value for general purposes, 2.5
percent for certain utility purposes and 2.5 percent for open space, park facilities and capital facilities
associated with economic development. Within the 2.5 percent of assessed value for general purposes, the
City may, without a vote of the electors, incur general obligation indebtedness (such as the Bonds) in an amount
not to exceed 1.5 percent of assessed value. Additionally, within the 2.5 percent of assessed value for general
purposes, the City may, also without a vote of the electors, enter into leases if the total principal component of
the lease payments, together with the other nonvoted general obligation indebtedness of the City, does not
exceed 1.5 percent of assessed value. The combination of unlimited tax and limited tax general obligation debt
for general purposes, including leases, cannot exceed 2.5 percent of assessed value and for all purposes cannot
exceed 7.5 percent of assessed value.
Without a vote of the electorate, the City may incur debt as follows:
(1) Pursuant to an ordinance specifying the amount and object of the expenditure of the proceeds,
the City may borrow money for corporate purposes and issue bonds and notes within the
constitutional and statutory limitations on indebtedness.
(2) The City may execute conditional sales contracts for the purchase of real or personal property.
(3) The City may execute leases with or without an option to purchase.

Taxing Authority
Authorized Property Tax Levies
The City is authorized to impose (1) a regular levy (up to $3.60/$1,000, less the library district levy, not to
exceed $0.50/$1,000 of assessed value) and (2) excess levies (unlimited as to rate or amount). For the 2010
collection year, the City’s regular levy is $2.71184/$1,000. The regular levy is imposed without a vote of the
people for general purposes, including payment of debt service on the Bonds, and is subject to limitations (see
“Regular Property Tax Limitations” herein). Excess levies are imposed, upon voter approval, to pay debt
service on unlimited tax general obligation bonds. An excess levy also may be imposed without a vote to
prevent the impairment of a contract (RCW 84.52.052).

Overlapping Taxing Districts
The overlapping taxing districts within the City have the statutory power to levy regular property taxes at the
following rates subject to the limitations provided by chapter 84.55 RCW, and levy excess voter approved
property taxes. For purposes of demonstration, representative levy rates for “levy code 2100” of King County
(the “County”), as well as the statutory levy authority of each type of potential overlapping district, are listed
below. Levy code 2100 is wholly within the City, however it does not include all of the property within the
City; as a result, additional taxing districts, not listed below, levy taxes within the City.

(1) King County levy code 2100 is included within the incorporated portion of King County and therefore does not have a
road levy; likewise, it does not contain a rural library district or a fire protection district.
(2) Pursuant to RCW 84.52.043(1), a county may increase its levy from $1.80 per $1,000 of assessed value to a rate not to
exceed $2.475 per $1,000 of assessed value for general county purposes if (i) the total levies for both the county and
any road district within the county do not exceed $4.05 per $1,000 of assessed value and (ii) no other taxing district has
its levy reduced as a result of the increased county levy.
(3) RCW 41.16.060. $0.225 of the total $3.60 can be used for pension funding purposes, if required; otherwise this tax may
be levied and used for any other municipal purpose.
(4) The City’s levy authority of $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed value is impacted due to its annexation to the King County
Rural Library District. The library district has the authority to levy up to $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed value thereby
reducing the City’s levy authority to $3.10 per $1,000 of assessed value. The King County Rural Library District is not
within levy code 2100.
(5) RCW 84.52.043(1). The levy by the State may not exceed $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed value adjusted to the State
equalized value in accordance with the indicated ratio fixed by the State Department of Revenue to be used
exclusively for the support of the common schools.
(6) Washington school districts do not have nonvoted regular levy authority.

General Property Taxes
The following provides a general description of the City’s taxing authority and limitations thereon, the method
of determining the assessed value of real and personal property, tax collection procedures, and tax collection
information.
Authorized Property Taxes. The City is authorized to levy both “regular” property taxes and “excess” property
taxes.
(1) Regular Property Taxes. Regular property taxes are subject to constitutional and statutory limitations
as to rates and amounts and commonly are imposed by taxing districts for general municipal
purposes, including the payment of debt service on limited tax general obligation indebtedness, such
as the Bonds. Regular property taxes do not require voter approval except as described below.
(2) Excess Property Taxes. Excess property taxes are not subject to limitation as to rates or amounts but
must be authorized by a 60 percent approving popular vote, as provided in Article VII, Section 2, of
the State Constitution and RCW 84.52.052. To be valid, such popular vote must have a minimum
voter turnout of 40 percent of the number who voted at the last City general election, except that one‐
11
year excess tax levies also are valid if the turnout is less than 40 percent and the measure receives a
number of affirmative votes equal to or greater than 24 percent of the number who voted at the last
City general election. Excess levies may be imposed without a popular vote when necessary to
prevent impairment of the obligations of contracts.
Regular Property Tax Limitations
The authority of a city to levy taxes without a vote of the people for general city purposes, including the
payment of debt service on limited tax general obligation indebtedness, such as the Bonds, is subject to the
limitations described below. Information relating to regular property tax limitations is based on existing
statutes and constitutional provisions. Changes in such laws could alter the impact of other interrelated tax
limitations on the City.
Regular property tax levies are subject to rate limitations and amount limitations and to the uniformity
requirement of Article VII, Section 1 of the State Constitution, which specifies that a taxing district must levy
the same rate on similarly classified property throughout the district. Aggregate property taxes vary within
the county because of its different overlapping taxing districts. In the event that the maximum permissible
levy varies within the City, the lowest permissible rate for any part of the City would be applied to the entire
City.
Maximum Rate Limitation. Title 84 RCW authorizes the imposition of regular tax levies to various statutory
maximums (see “Overlapping Taxing Districts” herein).
The One Percent Aggregate Regular Levy Limitation. Article VII, Section 2 of the Washington Constitution, as
amended in 1973, limits aggregate regular property tax levies by the State and all taxing districts, except port
districts and public utility districts, to one percent of the true and fair value of property. RCW 84.52.050
provides the same limitation by statute.
$5.90/$1,000 Aggregate Regular Levy Limitation. Within the one percent limitation described above,
RCW 84.52.043(2) imposes an aggregate limitation on regular tax levies by all taxing districts, other than the
State, of $5.90/$1,000 of assessed value, except levies for any port or public utility district; excess levies
authorized in Article VII, Section 2 of the State Constitution; and certain levies for acquiring conservation
futures, for emergency medical services or care, and to finance affordable housing.
Uniformity Requirement. Article VII, Section 1 of the Washington Constitution requires that property taxes be
levied at a uniform rate upon the same class of property within the territorial limits of a taxing district levying
such taxes. It is possible because of different overlapping taxing districts in different areas of the City that the
maximum permissible levy might vary within the City. In that event, to comply with the constitutional
requirement for uniformity of taxation, the lowest permissible rate for any part of the City would be applied to
the entire City.
Prioritization of Levies. RCW 84.52.010 provides that if aggregate levies certified by all taxing districts exceed
the aggregate levy limitations described above, levies certified by junior taxing districts are reduced or
eliminated in order to bring the aggregate levy into compliance with the statutory maximum prescribed by
RCW 84.52.050 and 84.52.043. RCW 84.52.043 defines “junior taxing districts” as all taxing districts other than
the state, counties, road districts, cities, towns, port districts, and public utility districts.
The tax levy for unlimited tax general obligation bonds is a special excess levy approved by the voters, and as
such, is not subject to the limitations on regular levies described above.
The Levy Limitation. The regular property tax increase limitation (chapter 84.55 RCW) limits the total dollar
amount of regular property taxes levied by an individual local taxing district such as the City to the amount of
such taxes levied in the highest of the three most recent years multiplied by a limit factor, plus an adjustment
to account for taxes on new construction, annexations, improvements and State‐assessed property at the
previous yearʹs rate. The limit factor is the lesser of 101 percent of the highest levy in the three previous years
(excluding new construction, improvements, and State‐assessed property) or 100 percent plus inflation, unless
a greater amount is approved by a simple majority of the voters. With a supermajority vote of the Council, the
limit factor is a flat 101 percent.
12
RCW 84.55.092 allows the property tax levy to be set at the amount that would be allowed if the tax levy for
taxes due in each year since 1986 had been set at the full amount allowed under chapter 84.55 RCW. This is
sometimes referred to as “banked” levy capacity. The City has $5,724,309 in banked levy capacity.
With a majority vote of its electors, a taxing district may levy, within the rate limitations described above,
more than what otherwise would be allowed by the tax increase limitation indefinitely or for a limited period
or to satisfy a limited purpose, as allowed by RCW 84.55.050. This is known as a “levy lid lift.” A newly
created taxing district can initiate its levy at the maximum permitted statutory levy rate, unless that rate would
exceed any of the limitations described above.
Since the regular property tax increase limitation applies to the total dollar amount levied rather than to levy
rates, increases in the assessed value of all property in the taxing district (excluding new construction,
improvements and State‐assessed property) which exceed the rate of growth in taxes allowed by the limit
factor result in decreased regular tax levy rates, unless voters authorize a higher levy or the taxing district uses
banked levy capacity. Decreases in the assessed value of all property in the taxing district (including new
construction, improvements and State‐assessed property) or increases in such assessed value that are less than
the rate of growth in taxes imposed, among other events, may result in increased regular tax levy rates.
The tax levy for unlimited tax general obligation bonds are special excess levies approved by a 60 percent
majority of the voters, and as such, are not subject to the rate or amount limitations on regular levies described
above.
Assessed Value
The County Assessor, or equivalent thereof (“Assessor”), determines the value of all real and personal
property throughout the County that is subject to ad valorem taxation, except certain utility properties which
are valued by the State Department of Revenue. The Assessor is an elected official whose duties and methods
of determining value are prescribed and controlled by statute and by detailed regulations promulgated by the
State Department of Revenue.
For tax purposes, the assessed value of property is 100 percent of its market value. Three approaches may be
used to determine real property value: market data, replacement cost and income generating capacity. In the
County, all property is subject to an annual property valuation and an on‐site revaluation at least once every
four years. The property is listed by the Assessor on a roll at its current assessed value and the roll is filed in
the Assessor’s office. The Assessor’s determinations are subject to revisions by the County Board of
Equalization and, for certain property, subject to further revisions by the State Board of Tax Appeals.
Tax Collection Procedure
Property taxes are levied in specific amounts and the rate for all taxes levied for all taxing districts in a county
is determined, calculated and fixed by the Assessor based upon the assessed value of the property within the
various taxing districts. The Assessor extends the taxes to be levied within each taxing district on a tax roll
which contains the total amount of taxes to be so levied and collected. The tax roll is delivered to the County
Treasurer, or equivalent thereof, by January 15, who creates a tax account for each taxpayer and is responsible
for the collection of taxes due to each account. All such taxes are due and payable on April 30 of each year, but
if the amount due from a taxpayer exceeds $50, one‐half may be paid then and the balance no later than
October 31, of each year. Delinquent taxes are subject to interest at the rate of 12 percent per year computed on
a monthly basis from the date of delinquency until paid. In addition, a penalty of three percent will be
assessed on June 1st of the year in which the tax was due and eight percent on December 1st of the year due.
All collections of interest on delinquent taxes are to be credited to the County’s current expense fund.
The method of giving notice of payment of taxes due, the accounting for the money collected, the division of
the taxes among the various taxing districts, notices of delinquency, and collection procedures are all covered
by detailed statutes. The lien on property taxes is prior to all other liens or encumbrances of any kind on real
or personal property subject to taxation. By law the County Treasurer may not commence foreclosure of a tax
lien on real property until three years have passed since the first delinquency. The State’s courts have not
decided whether the Homestead Law (chapter 6.13 RCW) may give the occupying homeowner a right to retain
the first $125,000 of proceeds of the forced sale of the family residence or other “homestead” property for
13
delinquent general property taxes. (See Algona v. Sharp, 30 Wn. App. 837, 638 P.2d 627 (1982), holding the
homestead right superior to the improvement district assessments). The United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Western District of Washington has held that the Homestead Exemption applies to the lien for property
taxes, while the State Attorney General has taken the position that it does not.

Collection of Other Taxes
In addition to regular property tax levies, the City is also authorized to impose various other taxes, including
those described below. Neither the State nor any municipal corporation of the State is authorized under the
Constitution to impose a tax on net income.
Sales and Use Tax. The State first levied a retail sales tax and a corresponding use tax on taxable retail sales and
uses of personal property in 1935. Sales taxes currently are imposed on the purchase by consumers (including
businesses and governmental entities) of a broad base of tangible personal property and selected services,
including construction (labor and materials), machinery and supplies, services and repair of real and personal
property and many other transactions not taxed in other states. The use tax supplements the sales tax by
taxing the use of certain services and by taxing personal property on which a sales tax has not been paid (such
as items purchased in a state that imposes no sales tax). The State Legislature, and the voters through the
initiative process, have changed the base of the sales and use tax on occasion. Among the various items not
14
currently subject to sales and use taxes are most personal services, motor vehicle fuel, most food for off‐
premises consumption, trade‐ins and purchases for resale.
Sales taxes upon applicable retail sales are collected by the seller from the consumer. Use taxes are payable by
the consumer upon applicable rendering of services or uses of personal property. Each seller is required to
hold taxes collected in trust until remitted to the State Department of Revenue, which usually occurs on a
monthly basis. The City’s sales and use tax is collected by the State Department of Revenue and remitted on a
monthly basis under a contract that provides for a deduction of one percent of the tax collected for
administration costs. Distribution to the City lags approximately two months behind collection.
The State currently imposes a sales and use tax of 6.5 percent. Cities, counties and certain other municipal
corporations are authorized to levy incremental local sales and use taxes for general governmental purposes.
The City is authorized to impose a local sales and use tax of one percent, of which 0.15 percent is required to
be remitted to the County. The County also imposes various local sales and use taxes, including 0.1 percent to
support criminal justice purposes. The first 10 percent of the revenues generated by the 0.1 percent criminal
justice tax is allocated to the County. The remaining 90 percent of the criminal justice tax revenues is allocated
to the County and cities within the County based on population. The proceeds of the 0.1 percent criminal
justice tax may not be used to replace pre‐existing funding. Sales and use taxes currently are imposed in the
County at aggregate rates ranging from 8.6 to 9.5 percent. The County imposes additional sales and use taxes
on car rentals and the sale of food and beverages at restaurants, taverns and bars.
Sales & Use Tax Streamlining. In 2003, the State Legislature approved legislation authorizing the State’s
membership in the national Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (the “SSUTA”), in an effort to make
sales and use taxes in the State more uniform with other states. Congress has required that state sales taxes be
more uniform before Congress will permit taxation of interstate catalog and internet sales. In 2007, the State
Legislature adopted legislation fully conforming to the SSUTA. Effective July 1, 2008, the sales tax system
changed in the State from an origin‐based system to a destination‐based system. Under destination sourcing,
sales taxes are credited to the taxing jurisdiction where the purchaser takes delivery of the goods (which may
differ from the point of sale with respect to goods delivered to the purchaser). The rate of the tax is now
determined by the local rate in the destination taxing jurisdiction.
The State Legislature enacted certain provisions to mitigate net losses in sales and use tax collections of local
taxing jurisdictions resulting from the change to a destination‐based system. To qualify, the local taxing
jurisdiction must be negatively impacted by the legislation and the local sales tax must be in effect before
July 1, 2008, among other requirements. The State legislation requires the Department of Revenue to
determine each local jurisdiction’s annual losses, and distributions are required to be made quarterly
representing one‐fourth of a jurisdiction’s annual loss less voluntary compliance revenue from the previous
quarter. Losses in sales tax revenues are based on a business by business comparison of sales patterns in each
jurisdiction before and after the change to destination‐based sales tax. Mitigation payments are distributed at
the end of each quarter for the net loss experienced in the second preceding quarter. For example, the first
payments were made on December 31, 2008 for July through September (third quarter) 2008.
Money for mitigation is subject to appropriation by the State Legislature. The City has not received mitigation
payments as a result of this legislation. Although the City cannot predict its future sales tax receipts, if the
City is negatively impacted by the legislation in the future, it intends to seek mitigation payments to offset any
losses to long as it is eligible.
When a jurisdiction’s “voluntary compliance revenue” exceeds its loss of local sales tax revenue, the
jurisdiction will cease receiving mitigation payments. “Voluntary compliance revenue” is the local sales tax
revenue gain to each local taxing jurisdiction reported to the Department by sellers in other states voluntarily
registered through the SSUTA.
Lodging Tax. The City is authorized to impose a local option tax of one percent on sales of lodging. This tax is
credited against the State’s 6.5 percent retail sales tax and results in no net increase to the taxpayer. The uses
of lodging tax proceeds are restricted by State law for tourism promotion purposes only.
15
Real Estate Excise Tax. The City is authorized to impose a real estate excise tax on each sale of real property at
the rate of 0.50 percent of the selling price. (This is in addition to the real estate excise tax imposed by the State
at the rate of 1.28 percent.)
The first 0.25 percent tax (ʺREET 1ʺ) is imposed pursuant to RCW 82.46.010 and may be used solely for
financing certain “capital projects” specified in a capital facilities plan element of the City’s a comprehensive
plan. Eligible “capital projects” for REET 1 include: streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road
lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, parks,
recreational facilities, law enforcement facilities, fire protection facilities, trails, libraries, administrative and
judicial facilities.
The second 0.25 percent tax (“REET 2”) is imposed pursuant to RCW 82.46.035(2) and may be used solely for
the following capital projects specified in a capital facilities plan element of the City’s a comprehensive plan.
Eligible “capital projects” for REET 2 include: streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting
systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, and planning,
construction, reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation, or improvement of parks. REET 2 excludes the use of funds
to acquire land for parks.
The City must deposit and account for real estate excise tax proceeds in a separate capital projects fund or
account. REET 1 and REET 2 revenues must be tracked separately because the uses to which they may be put
are different. RCW 82.46.030(2) and RCW 82.46.035(4). Real estate excise taxes are collected by the County
Treasurer of the county within which the property is located and distributed to the City periodically.
Distributions may be suspended if the City is in noncompliance under RCW 36.70A.340 (relating to growth
management planning). The City currently believes it is in compliance with this statute.
Utility Tax. The City is authorized to impose a utility business and occupation tax on the gross receipts of
utilities providing service within the City, including investor‐owned utilities and utilities owned by the City.
The maximum rate at which the City may levy the utility business and occupation tax without a vote of the
electorate varies by the type of utility.
The following table shows the historical General Fund revenues from these taxes.

Authorized Investments
Chapter 35.39 RCW limits the investment by a city of its inactive funds or other funds in excess of current
needs to the following authorized investments: United States bonds; United States certificates of indebtedness;
bonds or warrants of the State and any local government in the State; its own bonds or warrants of a local
improvement district which are within the protection of the local improvement guaranty fund law; and any
other investment authorized by law for any other taxing district or the State Treasurer. Under chapter 43.84
RCW, the State Treasurer may invest in non‐negotiable certificates of deposit in designated qualified public
depositories; in obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and wholly owned corporations; in bankers’
acceptances; in commercial paper; in the obligations of the federal home loan bank, federal national mortgage
association and other government corporations subject to statutory provisions and may enter into repurchase
agreements. Utility revenue bonds and warrants of any city and bonds or warrants of a local improvement
district are also eligible investments (RCW 35.39.030).
Money available for investment may be invested on an individual fund basis or may, unless otherwise
restricted by law, be commingled within one common investment portfolio. All income derived from such
investment may be either apportioned to and used by the various participating funds or for the benefit of the
general government in accordance with city ordinances or resolutions. Funds derived from the sale of bonds
or other instruments of indebtedness will be invested or used in such manner as the authorizing ordinances,
resolutions or bond covenants may lawfully prescribe.
Local Government Investment Pool
The State Treasurer’s Office administers the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool (the
“LGIP”), a fund that invests money on behalf of more than 450 cities, counties and special taxing districts. In
its management of LGIP, the State Treasurer is required to adhere, at all times, to the principles appropriate for
the prudent investment of public finds. These are, in priority order, (i) the safety of principal; (ii) the assurance
of sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow demands; and (iii) to attain the highest possible yield within the
constraints of the first two goals. Historically, the LGIP has had sufficient liquidity to meet all cash flow
demands.
The LGIP, authorized by chapter 43.250 RCW, is a voluntary pool which provides its participants the
opportunity to benefit from the economies of scale inherent in pooling. It is also intended to offer participants
increased safety of principal and the ability to achieve a higher investment yield than would otherwise be
available to them. The LGIP is restricted to investments with maturities of one year or less, and the average
life typically is less than 90 days. Investments permitted under the LGIP’s guidelines include U.S. government
and agency securities, bankers’ acceptances, high quality commercial paper, repurchase and reverse
repurchase agreements, motor vehicle fund warrants, and certificates of deposit issued by qualified
Washington State depositories.
As of December 31, 2009, the City’s investments at market value totaled $74,655,350 of which 51 percent was
invested in the LGIP, 40 percent was invested in certificates of deposit and nine percent was invested in
U.S. government securities.
Authorized Investments for Bond Proceeds
In addition to the eligible investments discussed above, bond proceeds may also be invested in mutual funds
with portfolios consisting of U.S. government and guaranteed agency securities with average maturities of less
than four years; municipal securities rated in one of the four highest categories; and money market funds
consisting of the same, so long as municipal securities held in the fund(s) are in one of the two highest rating
categories of a nationally recognized rating agency. Bond proceeds may also be invested in shares of money
market funds with portfolios of securities otherwise authorized by law for investment by local governments
(RCW 39.59.030).

(1) In 2007 the Parks, Street, and Library Funds were combined with the General Fund, instead of reported as separate
special revenue funds. This change increased the beginning balance of the General Fund by the previous year’s Parks,
Street, and Library Funds’ ending balances in the amount of $1,285,989, $1,698,995 and $188,605, respectively. In
addition to the change in 2007 beginning fund balance, this consolidation also affected the amount of tax revenues
reported in the General Fund. See the General Fund Tax Revenues table herein for the portion of taxes accounted for
in the “General Sub‐Fund” prior to 2007. Expenses related to the Parks, Street and Library Funds were categorized
under “Culture & recreation.”
(2) Decline in “General government” from 2008 to 2009 was due certain funds being reallocated to the City’s Internal
Services Fund (outside of the General Fund). Charges to the Internal Services Fund were allocated to “Culture &
recreation,” resulting in an increase from 2008 to 2009.
(3) The increase in 2008 “Security of persons and property” expenditures is attributable to the Benson Hill‐Cascade area
annexation that took effect in 2008. In addition, the City entered into a service contract to provide fire and emergency
medical services to the remainder of King County Fire District 40, whose service area was reduced substantially by
this annexation.
(4) The 2008 operating deficit (and reduction in fund balance) represents primarily startup costs for new equipment
purchases and facility improvements the City incurred for the annexation of the Benson Hill‐Cascade area.
(5) In 2005 the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund was combined with the General Fund. The
beginning balance of the General Fund was increased by the previous years CDBG Fund’s ending balance in the
amount of $42,762.

Pension Funding
Substantially all of these employees are enrolled in the State of Washington Public Employees Retirement
System (“PERS”) or the Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters Retirement System (“LEOFF”).
Contributions by both employees and employers are based on gross wages. PERS and LEOFF participants
who joined the system by September 30, 1977 are Plan 1 members. Those PERS participants who joined on or
after October 1, 1977 and by August 31, 2002 are Plan 2 members, unless they exercise an option to transfer to
Plan 3. PERS participants joining on or after September 1, 2002 have the irrevocable option of choosing
membership in PERS Plan 2 or PERS Plan 3. LEOFF participants who joined on or after October 1, 1977 are
Plan 2 members. The City contributed $2,210,892 to PERS and $1,258,704 to LEOFF in 2009 for all of the City’s
employees that are covered under PERS and LEOFF.
The following tables outline the contribution rates of employees and employers under PERS and LEOFF.
PERS Contribution Rates as of September 1, 2009
Plan 1 Plan 2 Plan 3
Employee 6.00%3.90%Variable (1)
Employer (2) 5.31%5.31%5.31%

Plan 1 Plan 2
Employee 0.00%8.46%
Employer (1) 0.16%5.24%
(1) Includes a 0.16% administration fee.
According to information provided by the Office of the State Actuary, based upon revised demographic and
economic assumptions, the total unfunded actuarial accrued liability of Plan I of the PERS System currently is
$3.99 billion, of which the State share is $1.596 billion and the local government share is $2.394 billion. In 2005
and 2006, the State Legislature enacted and authorized the State Pension Funding Council to adopt changes in
contribution rates to PERS intended to amortize the PERS I unfunded actuarial liability by 2024. According to
information provided by the Office of the State Actuary, Plan II and III of PERS currently have no unfunded
actuarial accrued liability. Shown below are historical employer contribution rates for Plan I, II and III of
PERS. The contribution rates effective July 1, 2008 and July 1, 2009, include a component of 2.70% and 1.13%,
respectively, dedicated to amortizing the local government share of the PERS I unfunded actuarial liability,
and a component of 0.16% for administrative expenses. These rates are subject to change by future legislation
enacted by the State Legislature to address future changes in actuarial and economic assumptions.
While the City’s contributions in 2009 represent its full current liability under the systems, any unfunded
pension benefit obligations could be reflected in future years as higher contribution rates. It is expected that
the contribution rates for employees and employers in the PERS II and III will increase.

Systems’ annual financial report. A copy of this report may be obtained at:

Other Post‐Employment Benefits
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) has issued a new standard concerning Accounting
and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post‐Employment Benefits Other than Pensions (GASB 45). In
addition to pensions, many State and local governmental employers provide other post‐employment benefits
(“OPEB”) as a part of total compensation to attract and retain the services of qualified employees. OPEB
includes post‐employment health care as well as other forms of post‐employment benefits when provided
separately from a pension plan. The new standard provides for the measurement, recognition and display of
OPEB expenses/expenditures, related liabilities (assets), note disclosures, and, if applicable, required
supplementary information in the financial reports.
The City’s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer
(“ARC”), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB 45. The ARC
represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year
and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period of 30 years as of January 1, 2008. The
following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for 2008, the amount actually
contributed to the plan and changes in the City’s net OPEB:
Determination of Required Annual Contribution
Annual Normal Costs – Beginning of Year $ 154,545

Budgetary Policies
The City budgets it funds in accordance with chapter 35A.33 RCW. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted
for the general, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds on the cash basis of accounting and
include fund balances. The City provides a reconciliation of the differences between the budgetary basis and
GAAP each year in its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
22
The City Council annually adopts a budget by ordinance establishing appropriations for City funds, and
during the year may authorize supplemental appropriations. Administrative and legal budgetary control is
established at the fund level, i.e., expenditures for a fund may not exceed the total appropriation amount. The
Mayor or Chief Administrative Officer may authorize transfers of appropriations within a fund however
interfund transfers must be approved by ordinance of the Council.
Risk Management
The City is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). Utilizing chapter 48.62 RCW
(self‐insurance regulation) and chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal Cooperation Act), nine cities originally formed
WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly
purchasing insurance, jointly self‐insuring, and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has
a total of 129 members.
New members initially contract for a three‐year term, and thereafter automatically renew on an annual basis.
A one‐year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated. Termination does not relieve
a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes general,
automobile, police, public officials’ errors or omissions, stop gap, and employee benefits liability. Limits are
$4 million per occurrence self insured layer, and $16 million per occurrence in the re‐insured excess layer. The
excess layer is insured by the purchase of reinsurance and insurance. Total limits are $20 million per
occurrence subject to aggregate sublimits in the excess layers. The WCIA Board of Directors determines the
limits and terms of coverage annually.
Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler and
machinery are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage. Property insurance
and auto physical damage are self‐funded from the members’ deductible to $500,000, for all perils other than
flood and earthquake, and insured above that amount by the purchase of reinsurance.
In‐house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims and litigation
administration, and loss analyses. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation consultants for personnel
issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis, as
determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, and
administrative expenses. As outlined in the Interlocal Cooperation Act, WCIA retains the right to additionally
assess the membership for any funding shortfall.
An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment of WCIAʹs
assets in financial instruments which comply with all State guidelines. These revenues directly offset portions
of the membershipʹs annual assessment.
A Board of Directors governs WCIA, which is comprised of one designated representative from each member.
The Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the
organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for
conducting the day to day operations of WCIA.
Auditing of City Finances
Accounting systems and budgetary controls are prescribed by the Office of the State Auditor in accordance
with RCW 43.09.200 and RCW 43.09.230. State statutes require audits for cities the size of the City to be
conducted by the Office of the State Auditor. The City complies with the systems and controls prescribed by
the Office of the State Auditor and establishes procedures and records which reasonably assure safeguarding
of assets and the reliability of financial reporting.
The State Auditor is required to examine the affairs of cities at least once every two years, however the City
requests annual audits. The examination must include, among other things, the financial condition and
resources of the City, whether the laws and constitution of the State are being complied with, and the methods
23
and accuracy of the accounts and reports of the City. Reports of the auditor’s examinations are required to be
filed in the office of the State Auditor and in the finance department of the City. The audited financial
statements of the City for the year ended December 31, 2008, attached as Appendix C, are incorporated by
reference to this Official Statement.
Demographic Information
King County
Washington
The City surrounds the southern end of Lake Washington, southeast of Seattle on
Interstate 405. The City is located approximately 20 miles southeast of the City of
Seattle and approximately 60 miles northeast of the City of Olympia, the State’s
capital. As of the 2009 population estimates, the City ranked fifth in size among
cities in the County. The City had a population of 83,650 as estimated in 2009 by the
State Office of Financial Management, an increase of 39 percent since 2007 when the
City annexed the Benson Hill‐Cascade area. Historical population of the City and
the County are shown below.

Flood Management
In January 2009, record rainfall in southern King County caused rivers to swell and flooding to occur even
with dams and levee systems in place in many areas. In addition to the heavy rainfall, warmer temperatures
added snowmelt to the run‐off and tributary stream flooding. The Howard Hanson Dam on the Green River,
which runs through southern King County, received record peak inflows and the reservoir at the dam reached
a record level. As a result, the dam appears to have been damaged. Engineers for the Army Corps of
Engineers (the “Corps”), which built and maintains the dam, are assessing a depression in one of the dam’s
abutments to determine the extent and cause of the damage. Although the Corps has assured that there is no
risk of the dam failing, the Corps has announced that it will store less water behind the dam as a safety
precaution until the issue is resolved. As a result, the Corps may release rainwater from storms into the lower
Green River earlier and more often than in the past, which could potentially overwhelm levees that protect
low‐lying parts of the southern portion of the City. It cannot be predicted whether a flood or other natural
disaster will occur or if such event did occur, what the impact would be on the City or its operations.
King County
The County is located on Puget Sound in Washington and covers more than 2,200 square miles. The County is
the largest metropolitan county in the State in terms of number of cities and employment and includes more
than one quarter of the State’s population. The tables in the following section include the most recent
information available. Similar to other municipalities nationwide, the City, the County and the State have
experienced and may continue to experience negative impacts due to current economic conditions. Major
contributors to the area’s economy are manufacturing, technology‐based business, the Port of Seattle, services
industry, tourism, fishing and agriculture.

Initiative and Referendum
Under the State Constitution, the voters of the State have the ability to initiate legislation and require the
Legislature to refer legislation to the voters through the powers of initiative and referendum, respectively. The
initiative power in Washington may not be used to amend the State Constitution. Initiatives and referenda are
submitted to the voters upon receipt of a petition signed by at least eight percent (initiative) and four percent
(referendum) of the number of voters registered and voting for the office of Governor at the preceding regular
gubernatorial election. Any law approved in this manner by a majority of the voters may not be amended or
repealed by the Legislature within a period of two years following enactment, except by a vote of two‐thirds of
all the members elected to each house of the Legislature. After two years, the law is subject to amendment or
repeal by the Legislature in the same manner as other laws.
Tax and fee initiative measures have been and may be filed from time to time. It cannot be predicted whether
any such initiatives might gain sufficient signatures to qualify for submission to the Legislature and/or the
voters or, if submitted, whether they ultimately would be approved.
Under the City Municipal Code, Renton voters may initiate Municipal Code amendments and local legislation,
including modifications to existing legislation and through referendum may prevent legislation passed by the
City Council from becoming law.

Tax Matters
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on
individuals and corporations; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into account in determining adjusted
current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations.
Federal income tax law contains a number of requirements that apply to the Bonds, including investment
restrictions, periodic payments of arbitrage profits to the United States, requirements regarding the use of
proceeds of the Bonds and the facilities refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds and certain other matters. The
City has covenanted to comply with all applicable requirements.
Bond Counsel’s opinion is subject to the condition that the City comply with the above‐referenced covenants
and, in addition, will rely on representations by the City and its advisors with respect to matters solely within
the knowledge of the City and its advisors, respectively, which Bond Counsel has not independently verified.
If the City fails to comply with such covenants or if the foregoing representations are determined to be
inaccurate or incomplete, interest on the Bonds could be included in gross income for federal income tax
purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds, regardless of the date on which the event causing
taxability occurs. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will also rely on the report of Grant Thornton LLP
with respect to the accuracy of certain mathematical calculations.
Except as expressly stated above, Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any other federal or state
income tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds. Owners of the Bonds
should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any collateral tax consequences of owning the
Bonds, which may include original issue discount, original issue premium, purchase at a market discount or at
a premium, taxation upon sale, redemption or other disposition, and various withholding requirements.
Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that ownership of the Bonds may result in collateral
federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, financial institutions,
property and casualty insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement
benefits, certain S corporations with “excess net passive income,” foreign corporations subject to the branch
profits tax, life insurance companies and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued
indebtedness to purchase or carry or have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable to the Bonds. Bond
Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any collateral tax consequences. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds
should consult their tax advisors regarding collateral federal income tax consequences.
Payments of interest on tax‐exempt obligations such as the Bonds, are in many cases required to be reported to
the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Additionally, backup withholding may apply to any such payments
made to any owner who is not an ”exempt recipient” and who fails to provide certain identifying information.
Individuals generally are not exempt recipients, whereas corporations and certain other entities generally are
exempt recipients.
Bond Counsel’s opinion is not a guarantee of result and is not binding on the IRS; rather, the opinion
represents Bond Counsel’s legal judgment based on its review of existing law and in reliance on the
representations made to Bond Counsel and the City’s compliance with its covenants. The IRS has established
an ongoing program to audit tax‐exempt obligations to determine whether interest on such obligations is
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel cannot predict whether the IRS will
commence an audit of the Bonds. Owners of the Bonds are advised that, if the IRS does audit the Bonds,
under current IRS procedures, at least during the early stages of an audit, the IRS will treat the City as the
taxpayer, and the owners of the Bonds may have limited rights to participate in the audit. The commencement
of an audit could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the Bonds until the audit is concluded,
regardless of the ultimate outcome.
Qualified Tax‐Exempt Obligations
The City has designated the Bonds as “qualified tax‐exempt obligations” within the meaning of
Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code.
28
Rating
As noted on the cover page of this Official Statement, the City will apply for a rating for the Bonds from
Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc.. When and if obtained, the rating will
reflect only the views of the rating agency and an explanation of the significance of the rating may be obtained
from the rating agency. There is no assurance that the rating, once obtained, will be retained for any given
period of time or that the rating will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if,
in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of the rating will be
likely to have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds.
Continuing Disclosure
In accordance with Section (b)(5) of Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) Rule 15c2‐12
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Rule”), the
City has agreed in the Ordinance for the benefit of the Bond Owners or Beneficial Owners of the Bonds (the
“Undertaking”) to provide or cause to be provided to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”),
the following annual financial information and operating data for the prior fiscal year (commencing in 2011 for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010): (i) annual financial statements, which statements may or may not be
audited, showing ending fund balances for the City’s general fund prepared in accordance with the Budgeting
Accounting and Reporting System prescribed by the Washington State Auditor pursuant to RCW 43.09.200 (or
any successor statute); (ii) the assessed valuation of taxable property in the City; (iii) ad valorem taxes due and
percentage of taxes collected; (iv) property tax levy rate per $1,000 of assessed valuation; and (v) outstanding
general obligation debt of the City. Items (ii) through (v) will be required only to the extent that such
information is not included in the annual financial statements.
The information and data described above will be provided on or before nine months after the end of the
City’s fiscal year. The City’s current fiscal year ends December 31. The City may adjust such fiscal year by
providing written notice of the change of fiscal year to the MSRB. In lieu of providing such annual financial
information and operating data, the City may cross‐reference to other documents available to the public on the
MSRB’s internet website.
If not provided as part of the annual financial information discussed above, the City will provide the City’s
audited annual financial statement prepared in accordance with the Budgeting Accounting and Reporting
System prescribed by the Washington State Auditor pursuant to RCW 43.09.200 (or any successor statute)
when and if available to the MSRB.
Material Events. The City agrees to provide or cause to be provided, in a timely manner, to the MSRB notice of
the occurrence of any of the following events with respect to the Bonds, if material:
(1) Principal and interest payment delinquencies;
(2) Non‐payment related defaults;
(3) Unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties;
(4) Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties;
(5) Substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform;
(6) Adverse tax opinions or events affecting the tax‐exempt status of the Bonds;
(7) Modifications to the rights of Bond owners;
(8) Bond calls (optional, contingent or unscheduled Bond calls other than scheduled sinking fund
redemptions for which notice is given pursuant to Exchange Act Release 34‐238560);
(9) Defeasances;
(10) Release, substitution or sale of property, securing repayment of the Bonds; and
(11) Rating changes.
Solely for purposes of disclosure, and not intending to modify this undertaking, the City advises that no debt
service reserves, credit enhancement or property secure payment of the Bonds.
29
Notification Upon Failure to Provide Financial Data. The City agrees to provide or cause to be provided, in a
timely manner, to the MSRB notice of its failure to provide the annual financial information described above
on or prior to the date set forth above.
Format for Filings with the MSRB. Until otherwise designated by the MSRB or the Commission, any information
or notices submitted to the MSRB in compliance with the Rule are to be submitted through the MSRB’s
Electronic Municipal Market Access system (“EMMA”), currently located at www.emma.msrb.org (such
website is not incorporated in this Official Statement by reference). All notices, financial information and
operating data required by this undertaking to be provided to the MSRB must be in an electronic format as
prescribed by the MSRB. All documents provided to the MSRB pursuant to this undertaking must be
accompanied by identifying information as prescribed by the MSRB.
Termination/Modification. The City’s obligations to provide notices of material events will terminate upon the
legal defeasance, prior redemption or payment in full of all of the Bonds. Any provision of this section will be
null and void if the City (1) obtains an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that the
portion of the Rule that requires that provision is invalid, has been repealed retroactively or otherwise does
not apply to the Bonds, and (2) notifies the MSRB of such opinion and the cancellation of this section.
The City may amend this section with an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel in accordance with
the Rule. In the event of any amendment of this section, the City will describe such amendment in the next
annual report, and will include a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment and its impact on the
type (or in the case of a change of accounting principles, on the presentation) of financial information or
operating data being presented by the City. In addition, if the amendment relates to the accounting principles
to be followed in preparing financial statements, (i) notice of such change will be given in the same manner as
for a material event under this undertaking and (ii) the annual report for the year in which the change is made
will present a comparison (in narrative form and also, if feasible, in quantitative form) between the financial
statements as prepared on the basis of the new accounting principles and those prepared on the basis of the
former accounting principles.
Bondowner’s Remedies Related to Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. A Bondowner’s or a Beneficial Owner’s
right to enforce the provisions related to continuing disclosure undertaking will be limited to a right to obtain
specific enforcement of the City’s obligations related thereto, and any failure by the City to comply with the
provisions of this undertaking will not be an event of default with respect to the Bonds under the Ordinance.
For purposes of this section, “Beneficial Owner” means any person who has the power, directly or indirectly,
to vote or consent with respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, any Bonds, including persons holding Bonds
through nominees or depositories.
Other Continuing Disclosure Undertakings of the City. The City has entered into undertakings to provide annual
information and the notice of the occurrence of certain events with respect to all bonds issued by the City and
is in compliance with all such undertakings.

30
Limitations on Remedies
The enforceability of the Ordinance is subject to applicable bankruptcy laws, equitable principles affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, the police powers of the State and the City, the exercise of judicial
authority by state or federal courts and the exercise by the United States of the powers delegated to it by the

Statement.

Re: City of Renton, Washington Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding
Bonds, 2010 — $_________
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as bond counsel to the City of Renton, Washington (the “City”), and
have examined a certified transcript of the proceedings taken in the matter of the issuance by
the City of its Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010 (the “Bonds”), dated
as of their date of initial delivery, in the aggregate principal amount of $________, issued for
the purpose of refunding certain outstanding limited tax general obligation bonds of the City
and paying costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds are issued pursuant to Ordinance
No. ____ passed by the City Council of the City on April 5, 2010 (the “Bond Ordinance”).
Capitalized terms used in this opinion which are not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings given to such terms in the Bond Ordinance.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturities as provided in the
Bond Ordinance and in the Bond Purchase Agreement.
Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on representations
of the City in the Bond Ordinance and in the certified proceedings and on other certifications
of public officials and others furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by
independent investigation.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing law:
1. The Bonds have been legally issued and constitute valid and binding general
obligations of the City, except to the extent that the enforcement of the rights and remedies of
the holders and owners of the Bonds may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial
discretion.
2. The Bond Ordinance is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the City, has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered and is enforceable in accordance with its terms,
City of Renton, Washington
Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation
_______________, 2010
Page 2
except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial
discretion.
3. Both principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable out of annual levies of
ad valorem taxes to be made upon all of the taxable property within the City within and as
part of the tax levy permitted to the City without a vote of the electorate and in amounts
which, together with other available funds, will be sufficient to pay such principal and
interest as the same shall become due.
4. Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum
tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into
account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative
minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. The opinion set forth in the preceding
sentence is subject to the condition that the City comply with all requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that must be satisfied subsequent to the
issuance of the Bonds in order that the interest thereon be, and continue to be, excludable
from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City has covenanted to comply with
all applicable requirements. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants may cause
interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes
retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
The City has designated the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” within the
meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
Except as expressly stated above, we express no opinion regarding any other federal
or state income tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds.
Owners of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any
collateral tax consequences of owning the Bonds, which may include original issue discount,
original issue premium, purchase at a market discount or at a premium, taxation upon sale,
redemption or other disposition, and various withholding requirements.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update,
revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter
come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.
Very truly yours,

T H E D E P O S I T O R Y T R U S T C O M P A N Y
SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE
DESCRIBING BOOK‐ENTRY‐ONLY ISSUANCE
(Prepared by DTC‐‐bracketed material may apply only to certain issues)
1. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository
for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully‐registered securities registered in
the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC. One fully‐registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue
of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC.
[If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be
issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued
with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]
2. DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited‐purpose trust company
organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New
York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the
meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the
provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing
for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non‐U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and
money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”)
deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post‐trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and
other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book‐entry transfers
and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of
securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non‐U.S. securities brokers and dealers,
banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly‐owned
subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for
DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are
registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC
system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non‐U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks,
trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a
Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s
highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.
3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct
Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of
each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and
Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of
the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant
through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the
Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting
on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their
ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book‐entry system for the Securities is
discontinued.
4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC
are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their
registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial
ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect
only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or
may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for
keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take
certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the
Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents.
For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the
Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the
alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and
request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]
[6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are
being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct
Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]
7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with
respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures.
Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record
date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to
whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus
Proxy).
8. Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made
to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.
DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding
detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings
shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in
bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of
DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time
to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such
other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer
or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and
disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect
Participants.
[9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered,
through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by
causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to
[Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an
optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the
Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book‐entry credit of
tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]
10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at
any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a
successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
11. Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book‐entry‐only transfers through
DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and
delivered to DTC.
12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book‐entry system has been
obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.

July , 2009 Honorable Denis Law, Mayor Members of the Renton City Council Residents of Renton City of Renton, Washington RE: THE 2008 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Dear Mayor Law, City Councilmembers, and Residents of Renton: We are pleased to present the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2008. We publish this financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It has been audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by the Washington State Auditor’s Office. The report includes our own representations concerning the finances of the City of Renton. Consequently, we assume full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, we have established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City of Renton’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to maintain sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh the benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls is designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we attest that to the best of our knowledge and belief that this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects. These financial statements have been audited by the Washington State Auditor’s Office. The goal of this independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, are free of material misstatements. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in our financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Based upon the audit, the independent auditor concluded that there was a reasonable basis for issuing an unqualified opinion that the City of Renton’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The State Auditor’s report is included as the first component of the financial section of this report. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-2 The independent audit of the City of Renton’s financial statements is part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also the City’s internal controls and compliance to legal requirements with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal grant programs. The City’s Single Audit Report is issued separately and is available upon request or directly from the Washington State Auditor. Another State mandate requires the Washington State Auditor’s Office to perform additional tests of compliance with State laws and regulations as required by RCW 43.09.260. This statute requires the State Auditor to inquire as to whether the City complied with the laws and the Constitution of the State of Washington, its own ordinances and orders, and the requirements of the State Auditor’s Office. The City’s State compliance report is also available upon request and from the Washington State Auditor. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditor’s report. THE CITY OF RENTON AND ITS SERVICES The City of Renton was incorporated on September 6, 1901. Located at the south end of Lake Washington, our city borders the City of Seattle to the north. We currently have a land area of 22.24 square miles. We have over 1,181 acres of parks that includes 29 active parks. As presented by the Washington State Office of Financial Management, our 2008 population was 80,708. The City of Renton has a strong mayor form of government with an appointed Chief Administrative Officer. The Mayor is independently elected to a four-year term. The Mayor’s job is to manage and implement the policies established by the seven-member City Council. The Council establishes policies, appropriates monies through the budget process and adopts local laws through ordinances. Each Councilmember serves a four-year term and they are elected on a staggered two-year cycle. Both the Council and the Mayor are elected on a non-partisan basis. The City is a general-purpose governmental entity and provides the full range of municipal services allowed by statute or charter. These services include police, fire, emergency medical, street construction and maintenance, planning and zoning, libraries, parks and recreation, municipal court, and general administrative services. The City operates four utilities: water, sewer, surface water, and solid waste. These are operated very similar to a private business where the revenues from rates and other direct sources must pay for the operational, capital, and long-term debt costs. The City has its own water rights and does not purchase water from outside sources. The City’s sewage is treated by King County, but
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-3 the City is responsible for transferring and maintaining the system to King County. The City bills Renton residents a monthly fee for the cost of sewer treatment performed by King County. The City also operates a golf course. All costs of the Maplewood Golf Course are paid from green fees, driving range fees, revenue from the restaurant vendor, and other miscellaneous revenue. The golf course has short-term operational costs, an active capital maintenance program, and annual debt service payments for the construction of the clubhouse and the driving range. One operation the City has, which is somewhat unusual for cities our size, is its airport. The Renton Municipal Airport is used by small private plane operators, a floatplane tourist company, and Boeing initiates its maiden 737 flights from this airport. The operational costs of the airport are paid from rental fees. Much of the major capital projects are paid by fees or with Federal Aviation Administration grants. The City of Renton complies with the Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS) as delineated by the Office of the State Auditor as authorized under RCW 43.09.200 and 43.09.230. State law also mandates timely submission of annual financial reports to the State Auditor for annual independent audits. The City of Renton’s financial system incorporates financial and administrative controls to ensure the safeguarding of assets and reliability of financial reports. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management authorization and are recorded in conformity with GAAP. They also provide accountability of and control over assets and obligations, and sufficient reporting and review exist to provide adequate information for analysis and comparability of data. The City of Renton maintains budgetary controls to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual budget. All activities are appropriated through the annual budget process and published in the City’s Annual Budget document. The City Council must adopt an ordinance to increase or decrease total appropriations in a Fund. The Mayor has the authority to move appropriations within a Fund. A thorough discussion of the City’s accounting policies can be found under the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Financial Statements. FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION The information presented in the financial statements is a perspective of past activities that influence the City’s financial condition. The following information is presented to place that information in context with the general economy. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-4 Economic Condition and Outlook In Mayor Denis Law’s 2009 State of the City’s address he highlighted: • “Total Renton employment is expected to decline about 3 percent this year. Housing permits have dropped from more than 1,300 units in 2007 to less than 450 units last year and are anticipated to continue to go down.” • “Pull-back in consumer and business spending in our region is expected to continue through this year, resulting in another cycle of falling taxable sales and sales tax collection for the City.” • “Within the first couple weeks of this year, it became very apparent that revenues were dropping at a rate higher than we could have foreseen, requiring that we prepare for deficits that may reach 8% or more this year. • “Despite the negative economy, Renton’s population, housing stock, and retail spending still outpaced comparable measures for King County and the region last year. New construction in the City has been between two and three times the regional average over the past three years. Employment growth for Renton between 2005 and 2008 outpaced that of King County by 4%. We continued to see increased numbers of jobs in wholesale, retail, and business services, and a diversification of our economy and employment base. The growth in Renton’s total taxable retail sales was among the highest in the region, at over 3% in 2008 when most cities were seeing declines. Renton’s assessed valuation has increased almost 100 percent over the last seven years, from $5.0 billion in 2001 to nearly $10 billion in 2008”. UPDATE FROM BUDGET DOCUMENT Outlook “The total 2009 proposed expenditure budget is $252 million, of which $171 million is for City operations, $57 million is for debt service and proposed capital projects, and $24 million represents internal transfers that are offset by revenues. This represents a 2% increase over the 2008 adopted budget. The total revenues equal $245 million. The difference between revenues and expenditures of about $7 million will be covered by prior year fund balances for capital equipment and projects. Of the $171 million operating budget, $101 million is for General Government Operations. These are activities primarily supported by tax revenues. With the slowing economy and a high rate of inflation, our preliminary projections indicate that maintaining current services in General Governmental Operations will result in a deficit of over $5 million in 2009.”
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-5 “The proposed budget also reflects cost increases for specific purposes. These include the cost of the Fire District 40 contract, an increase in equipment costs in the police operating budget, a full year’s cost for annexation-related personnel, and a proposed transfer of $1 million to fund capital projects. Funding for these increases will come from the Fire District 40 service contract, a full year of revenues from Annexation Sales Tax Credit, and continued growth in the share of our property taxes that comes from new construction. With these adjustments, we will be able to balance our operating budget with current operating revenues, and use prior year fund balances only for one-time capital purposes.” Source: 2009 Budget Message Letter by: Mayor Denis Law OTHER INFORMATION Cash Management The City has adopted an Investment Policy that states that the primary objectives of investment management, in priority order, are safety, liquidity, and return on investment. The Investment Policy reflects provisions in state statute and authorizes investments in obligations with: the US Government or its agencies; banker’s acceptances; certificates of deposit issued by public depositories in the State of Washington; the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool; and any other investment authorized by law for taxing districts in the State of Washington. The City has a Fire Pension Fund that is managed by an Oversight Board with members including Firefighters, the Mayor and one Councilmember. Their investment policies reflect the long-term obligations of investing these funds, which are invested primarily in US Treasury strips. In 2008, the independent actuarial study estimates a (negative) net pension obligation of ($1,082,280), and is included, as an asset in the City of Renton’s Government-wide Financial Statements. Risk Management The City belongs to the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). The WCIA is a consortium of Washington State cities that purchases excess coverage in large blocks, thus leveraging the market and risk across a large base. It has a professional staff, but operates with an Oversight Board comprised of City representatives. This Board meets monthly. In most cases, the City of Renton has a variety of insurance deductibles that range from $5,000 to a maximum of $350,000. The City maintains a self-insurance program for health and dental coverage for City employees and dependents. The City purchases excess medical coverage from Berkley Risk for cases that exceed $350,000. The City also purchases life and disability insurance from various healthcare insurance providers. Awards and Acknowledgements The City has a long history of superior achievements in the preparation of its Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports through the peer review program conducted by the Government Finance Officers Association. The dedicated staff of the Finance Division work hard each day to 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-6 ensure that the City’s financial records always displays information in conformance with legal parameters. All members of the division are to be commended for their consistent dedication to excellence in local government finance. Significant contributors are specifically identified in the acknowledgements on page ii of this document. We are pleased with the comprehensive content and quality of this financial report knowing that the citizens of Renton can rely on this report as the definitive assessment of all City financial operations.

2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysis, 3-1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The City of Renton’s discussion and analysis provides a narrative overview of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The intent of the discussion and analysis is to review the City’s financial performance as a whole. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) combined with the Transmittal Letter, the Financial Statements, and the Notes to the Financial Statements represent the complete 2008 financial activities for the City of Renton. These are all intended to help the reader understand the City’s significant financial issues. This MD&A provides an overview of the City’s financial records. The data in this financial report also identifies any material deviations from the financial plan and the adopted annual budget. Finally, the intent of the MD&A and other financial information is to isolate and identify individual fund issues or concerns. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Since 2003, the City of Renton prepared its financial records in accordance to what is known as Government Accounting Standards Board Statement 34 (GASB 34) with a phase in of the infrastructure component in 2004. The City’s general Government-wide Financial Statements were prepared on the full accrual basis of accounting in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The City’s Fund Financial Statements for its major and non-major governmental funds were prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. The City’s major and non-major enterprise funds, internal service funds, and pension funds were accounted for on the accrual basis. The City of Renton, along with all cities, counties, and other governmental entities in Washington, must comply with the Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS) as defined by the Washington State Office of the Auditor (SAO). SAO audits the financial records of all cities and other governmental units within the State. The City of Renton’s financial system integrates financial and administrative controls that ensure the safeguarding of assets and the reliability of financial reports. These controls are designed to provide: 1. reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance to management understanding and approval; 2. reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance to GAAP principles; 3. accountability for control of assets and obligations; and 4. assurance that sufficient reporting and review exists to provide adequate information for analysis and comparability of data. Internal control is a high priority for the City. SAO reviews the City’s internal controls, and the City receives and takes action on all the recommendations made. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-2 The City maintains strong budgetary controls in order to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget as approved by the City Council. The City Council must authorize any budget increase or decrease to any fund. Financial Highlights • The City’s total assets as of December 31, 2008, exceeded liabilities by over $644.5 million. • As of December 31, 2008, the City’s Governmental Activities reported net assets of $420.7 million. Of this total, $34.2 million is defined as unrestricted and can be used for needs the Mayor and Council deem necessary. These monies are intended to provide a cushion against significant economic downturns in revenues and to maintain sufficient working capital and cash flow to meet daily financial needs. • Investments in capital assets comprise $353.2 million of the $420.7 million in Governmental Activities net assets. • The business type activities have total net assets of $223.9 million. Ninety (90.4%) percent of this total, $202.3 million, represents the City’s investments in capital assets. An unrestricted balance of $17.4 million remains and is used to meet day to day cash flow requirements and to ensure we can meet all obligations of the utilities and other funds if the revenues do not meet expectations. • The City’s total outstanding long-term debt as of December 31, 2008, was $101.5million. Of this amount, $50 million are revenue bonds and PWTF loans dedicated to the waterworks projects. Another $505,000 is for outstanding bonds for Senior Housing. These bonds have a special taxing authority. The Golf Course has $2.6 million outstanding in debt service. Employee leave balances total $6.49 million. The balance of $41.9 million of our debt is dedicated for general governmental purposes, including the purchase of City Hall, the construction of the downtown parking garage, and a replacement of a fire station (our share of a regional E-911), Communications Center, and other small projects, including municipal-bonds sold for fire equipment. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis provides an introduction and overview to the City of Renton’s basic financial statements. The basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1. Government-wide Financial Statements; 2. Fund Financial Statements; and 3. Notes to the Financial Statements. The graphic representation below illustrates the required components of the City’s annual financial report and how the required parts are arranged and relate to one another. This illustration helps explain the City’s financial presentation in 2008. This graphic representation should be used in conjunction with the following explanations to help guide the reader in understanding the financial condition of the City of Renton.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysis, 3-3 Figure 1 REQUIRED COMPONENTS OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT In addition to the required components shown in Figure 1, the City’s annual report also includes other voluntary supplementary information. The most significant section is the Combining Statements. These provide Balance Sheets, Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances with Budget to Actual comparisons, Statement of Net Assets, and Cash Flows for all Non-Major Funds. The next section of information, the Statistical Section, provides a ten-year view of the City’s Revenue, Expenditures, Debt Obligations, and Debt Capacity; the City’s largest taxpayers, and those entities with the largest employment within the City of Renton. This section provides a long-term perspective on the City’s economy. BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Government-wide Financial Statements provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Renton’s finances in a manner similar to a private sector business. They provide both short-term and long-term information about the City’s overall financial status. The government-wide statements distinguish between functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (referred to as “governmental activities”) from functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (referred to as “business-type activities.”) The governmental activities of the City include a full range of local government services provided to the public such as police and fire protection; road maintenance and construction; community planning and economic development; libraries, parks, and recreational opportunities; and other community services. The business-type activities of the City include waterworks (water, sewer, and surface water), solid waste management and services, golf course, and airport. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-4 The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities with the difference between the two reported as net assets. This statement combines and consolidates governmental funds’ current financial resources (short term available resources) with capital assets and long-term obligations, which is primarily debt. The Statement of Net Assets serves a purpose similar to that of the Balance Sheet of a private-sector business. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as one indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. Other indicators to consider when evaluating the financial position of the City includes changes to the property tax base, general economic conditions as demonstrated through business licenses fees or sales tax revenue, and the condition of the City’s infrastructure (roads, drainage systems, bridges, and water infrastructure). The Statement of Activities focuses upon both the gross and net cost of various activities that are provided by the government’s general tax and other revenues. This is intended to summarize and simplify the user’s analysis of cost to various governmental services and/or subsidy to various business-type activities. By separating program revenue from general revenue, users of the financial statements can identify the extent to which each program relies on taxes for funding. The Governmental Activities reflect the City’s basic functions: General Government, Judicial, Security of Person and Property, Physical Environment, Mental and Physical Health, and Culture and Recreation. Property, sales, and utility taxes finance the majority of these functions. All changes in net assets are reported using accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used in the private sector. The accrual basis of accounting requires that revenues are reported when earned and expenses are reported when incurred, no matter when the revenue will actually be received or the obligation will be paid. For example, property taxes are shown as a receivable and revenue even though some amount of these taxes will not be available to the City for several years. All unpaid vendor obligations are illustrated as an accounts payable obligation as of December 31. Fund Financial Statements The City uses funds to ensure and demonstrate fiscal integrity and compliance with finance related legal requirements with a focus on Major Funds. A fund is a group of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities and objectives. There are three types of funds: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. A Major Fund has three elements as defined by GASB 34: • Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures of that individual governmental or enterprise funds are at least ten percent (10%) of the corresponding total (assets, liabilities, etc.) for all funds of that category or type (i.e., governmental, proprietary, or fiduciary); and • Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual government fund or enterprise funds are at least five percent (5%) of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined; or • Any other governmental or enterprise fund that the government’s officials believe is particularly important.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysis, 3-5 Governmental Funds present most of a government’s tax-supported activities. The Proprietary Funds describe and financially manage the government’s business-type activities where all or part of the activities’ costs are supported by fees and charges that are paid directly by those who benefit from the activities. Fiduciary Funds control resources held by the government as a trustee or agent for parties outside of the government. The resources of Fiduciary Funds cannot be used to support the government’s own programs. Governmental Funds The Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances present separate columns of financial data for the General Fund and Capital Investment Fund. These comprise the City’s major governmental funds. Data from the remaining governmental funds are combined and presented in a single, aggregated column in the fund statements. Individual fund data for each of the non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements. Governmental Funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. The focus of Governmental Fund Financial Statements is on near-term inflows and outflows of available financial resources and on balances of resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information is useful in evaluating whether there are more or less financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance City services. Because the focus of governmental Fund Financial Statements is a narrower view than that of the Government-wide Financial Statements, it is useful to compare information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. This gives the reader a better understanding of the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. The Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide reconciliation to the governmental activities column in the government-wide statements to facilitate this comparison. The City maintains budgetary controls over its governmental funds. Budgetary controls ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget. Governmental fund budgets are established in accordance with state law and are adopted on a fund level. General fund budget variances are specifically addressed later in this discussion and analysis. Proprietary Funds These types of funds consist of two types of funds: Enterprise and Internal Service. They have always been operated as private business activity. Enterprise Funds are used to report the same functions as business-type activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. Internal Service Funds are used to report activities that provide supplies and services to various City departments and to accumulate and allocate the associated costs of providing these services to the various functions. The revenues and expenses of Internal Service Funds that are duplicated in other funds are eliminated in the government-wide statements. Because the remaining balances primarily benefit governmental, rather than business-type activities, they have been included within Governmental Activities in the Government-wide Statements. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-6 The City of Renton has two major proprietary funds: Waterworks Utility (water, wastewater, and stormwater) and Solid Waste. The Proprietary Fund Balance Sheet and the Proprietary Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Equity present separate columns of financial data for the Waterworks Utility and Solid Waste. Data from the remaining Enterprise Funds are combined and presented in a single, aggregated column in the fund statements. Governmental Activities Internal Service Funds are reported separately in this section. Proprietary Fund statements provide the same type of information as the Government-wide Financial Statements, only in more detail, since both apply the accrual basis of accounting. In comparing the total assets and total liabilities between the two statements, only slight differences will be noticed. One notable difference is that the “due from other funds” (asset) and the “due to other funds” (liability) in the proprietary fund statements are combined in a single line called “internal balances” in the asset section of the Government-wide Statement of Net Assets. Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary Funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reported in the Government-wide Financial Statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own operations. All of the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided, and are an integral part of the Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements. Combining statements for non-major Governmental and Enterprise Funds, as well as Internal Service Funds, are presented immediately following the required supplementary information on pensions. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Statement of Net Assets Changes in Net Assets may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. The overall financial position has improved for the City of Renton over the prior year. Changes in Net Assets from 2007 to 2008 shows an increase in total net assets of $137 million. Table 1 is a condensed version of the Government-wide Statement of Net Assets.

The City’s capital assets are used to provide services to citizens. It should be noted that although the investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. Investments in capital assets net of related debt increased from 2007 to 2008 by $134.3 million. Investment in capital assets increased by $120.5 million in the Governmental Funds and $13.7 million in the Business-type activities primarily due to annexations. The largest was Benson Hill adding over 16,000 new residents. This annexation is further discussed in Note 1 and 12 of the financials.

The remaining balance (unrestricted net assets) of $51.6 million may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations. Chart 1 provides a graphical comparison of the three categories of net assets for 2007 and 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the City reports positive balances in all three categories of net assets, for the government as a whole, as well as for separate governmental and business-type activities. Statement of Change in Net Assets The City’s total net assets (before prior period adjustments and changes in accounting principles) increased in 2007 by $22.5 million. Governmental activities generated eighty percent (80%) of this total or $17.9 million, while business-type activities generated $4.6 million of this total. Chart 2 below illustrates the various sources and amounts of revenue received by the government as a whole. Table 2 follows the chart.

Governmental Activities Analysis Governmental activities cost a total of $103.9 million in 2008, up $1.9 million from 2007. Of this amount, $45.3 million was paid for either by those who directly benefited from the programs or by other governments and organizations that subsidized certain programs with grants Chart 3 2008 COMPARISON OF TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL vs BUSINESS TYPE EXPENSESGovernmental Activities68%Business Type Activities32%2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-10 and contribution.

Grant revenues for 2008 were $179,292 with total revenues of $1.3 million. The Solid Waste Utility’s revenues were $10.5 million generated from fees for services and $264,784 in grants. The total expenses were $11.5 million. The Golf Course generated a total of $2.3 million in green fees, driving range charges, and other user fees. The total expenses for the Golf Course were $2.3 million. The Golf Course had a loss of $71,997 for the year. Business-type activities are supported primarily from charges for services. In the City of Renton, $44.7 million was generated from charges for services in the business-type activities. These comprise eighty-five percent (85%) of the total financial support for these activities. Grant revenues increased $5.2 million from 2007 to 2008. Chart 7 BUSINESS TYPE ACTIVITIES REVENUES BY SOURCESCharges for Services85%Grants13%Interest & Miscellaneous2%FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS Governmental Funds Analysis The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $47.8 million, a decrease of $2.7 million in comparison to last year. Approximately ten percent (10%) constitutes unreserved, undesignated fund balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is reserved or designated to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed for operating reserves. The decrease resulted from higher actual expenditures (budgeted) over the previous year and shortfalls in actual revenues over projections due to the slowdown of economy. This is further discussed under the General Fund Budgetary Highlights in this document. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current year, unreserved, undesignated fund balance of the general fund was $4.9 million, while total fund balance ended at $13.5 million. The fund balance total decreased $3 million during the fiscal year. Excess of expenditures over revenues, excluding internal transfers was $2.4 million in 2008.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysis, 3-13 Besides the General Fund, the City has only one other major governmental fund. The Capital Improvement Fund was a new major fund in 2007 and had a net change (increase) in fund balance of $4.1 million. Even with this increase the City was able to spend $18 million on capital improvements and major maintenance. Proprietary Funds Analysis The fund financial statements for the proprietary funds are presented in more detail, but essentially provide the same type of information found in the business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. Net assets in the Waterworks Utility Fund and the Solid Waste Fund were $203.7 million and $1.4 million respectively. This represents an increase in Waterworks Utility Fund of $15.2 million and a decrease in the Solid Waste Fund of $959,861 in net assets. Of the total net assets increase in the Waterworks Utility Fund, $9.2 million was a prior period adjustment and is discussed further in Note 12 of the financial statements. In addition capital contributions were $5 million over last year. While the Solid Waste fund’s revenues have not changed from the prior year, the amount to operate the fund has increased resulting in a $1.3 million dollar operating loss. Other factors concerning the finances of these two funds have already been addressed in the discussion of business-type activities. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS During the year there was a $ 5,453,949 increase (excluding internal transfers) in appropriations between the original and final amended budget. This increase was mainly due to the Fire District #40 contract and Benson Hill annexation. The City however took aggressive action to reduce the level of spending in the General Fund to compensate for expected revenue shortfalls. The General Fund budget did not spend $5,304,891 (excluding internal transfers) of the legally appropriated expenditures. Even with this reduction the City had to use $2,965,287, including a $519,503 transfer out, of its prior years fund balance reducing the $16.5 million balance to $13.5 million. CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets The City of Renton’s investment in capital assets, including construction in progress, for its governmental and business-type activities as of December 31, 2008, amounts to $650.9 million as presented on the following table. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-14 Table 3 CAPITAL ASSETS (Net of Accumulated Depreciation) Governmental Activities Business Type Activities Total Activities 1/1/2008 12/31/2008 1/1/2008 12/31/2008 1/1/2008 12/31/2008 Land $88,947,494 $175,559,920 $6,976,321 $6,976,321 $95,923,815 $182,536,241Construction in progress 41,893,039 29,912,497 5,699,288 10,014,741 47,592,327 39,927,238Buildings and structures 52,356,883 48,596,215 10,799,011 12,130,440 63,155,894 60,726,655Other improvements 78,576,142 127,068,177 206,963,989 223,715,208 285,540,131 350,783,385Machinery and equipment 12,228,057 16,129,966 879,046 765,590 13,107,103 16,895,556 $274,001,615 $397,266,775 $231,317,655 $253,602,300 $505,319,270 $650,869,075 General government infrastructure includes streets, bridges, overlays, and traffic controls.

The average interest rate is 4.17%. These bonds were issued for the purpose of providing money to pay part of the costs of construction and acquisition of certain improvements to the waterworks utility. The Water & Sewer Revenue Bond underlying ratings remain AA- at both rating agencies. More detailed information about the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note 14 and 18 to the financial statements.

Basic Financial Statements, 4-16 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The City of Renton was incorporated on September 6, 1901, and operates under the laws of the State of Washington applicable to a Non-Charter code city with a Mayor/Council form of government. A full-time Mayor and seven part-time Council members serve the City, all elected at large to four-year terms. The City provides the full range of municipal services authorized by state statues, together with a Municipal Airport, a Waterworks Utility, a Solid Waste Utility, and a Municipal Golf Course. The accounting and reporting policies of the City related to the funds included in the accompanying financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to state and local governments. GAAP for local governments include those principles prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), when applicable, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) pronouncements that have been made applicable by GASB Statements or Interpretations. In accordance with GASB Statement 20 the City has not applied to its enterprise activities FASB Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins of the Committee of Accounting Procedure issued after November 30, 1989. The City had implemented all applicable GASB Statements through Statement No. 53, with the exception of GASB Statement No. 51. The City is required to implement Statement No. 51: Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets by 2010. All other applicable statements were implemented prior to 2008. A. REPORTING ENTITY As required by GAAP the City’s financial statements present the City of Renton – the primary government. The City of Renton’s Mayor appoints the Governing Board for the Renton Housing Authority, which is not considered a component unit of the City. The City is under no obligation to subsidize, nor does it exercise any other prerequisite for inclusion. The City of Renton has no component units (either blended or discretely presented) included in these statements.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-17 During 2008 the City of Renton annexed several communities that were identified as Potential Annexation Areas (PAA). These annexations increased the City’s capital assets by $110,945,752. See Capital Assets and Depreciation (Note 5) for details. B. BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – GASB 34 PRESENTATION The City’s basic financial statements include both Government-wide (reporting the City as a whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the City’s major funds). Both the Government-wide and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either government or business-type. GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENTS In the Government-wide Statement of Net Assets, both the governmental and business-type activities columns (a) are presented on a consolidated basis by column, and (b) are reported on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognized all long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The City’s net assets are reported in three parts – investment in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted net assets; and unrestricted net assets. The City first utilizes restricted resources to finance qualifying activities. The Government-wide Statement of Activities reports both the gross and net cost of each of the City’s functions and business-type activities (general government, judicial, security of persons and property, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, mental and physical health, culture and recreation, waterworks utility, airport, solid waste utility, and golf course). General government revenues (property taxes, timber taxes, retail sales and use taxes, business taxes, excise taxes, and other taxes) also support the functions. The Statement of Activities reduces gross expenses (including depreciation) by related program revenues, operating and capital grants and contributions. Program revenues must be directly associated with the function or a business-type activity. Operating grants include operating specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants column reflects capital specific grants. General revenues normally cover the net cost, by function or business-type activity. The Government-wide focus is more on the sustainability of the City as an entity and the change in the City’s net assets resulting from the current year’s activities. The City’s fiduciary funds are presented in the fund financial statements. Since the assets are being held for the benefit of a third party and cannot be used for obligations of the City, they are not included in the Government-wide statements. FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the fund financial statements, the financial transactions are recorded in individual funds, each accounted for by a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise assets, liabilities, reserves, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses. The presentation is by major funds in either the governmental or business-type categories. GASB Statement 34 sets forth the 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-18 minimum criteria for the determination of a major fund. The non-major funds are combined in the fund financial statements and are detailed in the combining section. The governmental major fund statements in the fund financial statement are presented on current financial resources and modified accrual basis of accounting. Since governmental fund statements are presented on a different measurement focus and basis of accounting than the Government-wide statements’ governmental column, reconciliation is presented at the end of the statement, which briefly explains the adjustments necessary to transform the fund statements into the Government-wide presentation. Internal service funds of a government are presented in summary form as part of the proprietary fund financial statements. Since the principal users of the internal services are the City’s governmental activities, financial statements for internal service funds are consolidated into the governmental column when presented at the governmental level. These services are reflected in the appropriate functional activity (general government, judicial, security of persons and property, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, mental and physical health, culture and recreation). Interfund fund activity has been eliminated from the Government-wide financial statements. Exceptions are payments in lieu of taxes, external type transactions within the internal service funds (revenue and expenses for interest or services provided to other governmental organizations), and other charges for utilities. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct cost and program revenues for these functions. The following describes each fund as presented in the fund financial statements. MAJOR FUNDS GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS GENERAL FUND The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. It is used to account for the resources and disbursements of ordinary City operations that are not required to be accounted for in another fund. These include the costs of legislative and executive departments, court services, finance and legal departments, development services, police and fire departments, human resources and technical services, community services, parks, economic development, streets, library and museum, parking garage maintenance, fire memorial, and fire department’s health and wellness programs. The major sources of revenue are property taxes, utility taxes, and sales taxes. Licenses and permits, charges for services, and fines and forfeits provide additional support. Community development block grant activities are accounted for within this fund, which is federally funded. CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND This fund supports the City of Renton transportation projects and projects linked with various State and Federal funding programs. Many of the projects depend on grants, LIDs, and mitigation revenue.

Basic Financial Statements, 4-19 ENTERPRISE FUNDS WATERWORKS UTILITY The Waterworks Utility Fund accounts for all operation and capital improvement programs for water, wastewater, and storm water services within the City. The activities primarily supported by user fees include: administration, billings and collections, debt service, engineering and operation, maintenance and repairs. The primary resources for the capital improvement programs are revenue bond proceeds, grants (as available), and utility collection charges. SOLID WASTE Solid waste, recycling, and yard waste collection services for the City are accounted for in this fund, supported entirely by service fees. The expenses include payment to the City’s garbage contractor and other service charges. NON-MAJOR FUNDS SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS ARTERIAL STREET FUND The Arterial Street Fund was established pursuant to state law allocating the one-half cent State Gasoline Tax revenue to cities and towns for construction, improvements, and major repair of streets. LEASED CITY PROPERTY FUND Accounts for revenue and expenditures related to City property leased to outside entities. HOTEL/MOTEL TAX FUND Accounts for monies collected through an increase of one percent in hotel/motel taxes for the purpose of increasing tourism in the City of Renton. PATHS AND TRAILS RESERVE FUND The Paths and Trails Reserve Fund was created for the purpose of planning, accommodating, and establishing and maintaining certain paths and trails within the City of Renton. SPRINGBROOK WETLANDS BANK FUND The City of Renton established this fund in 2007 for the purpose of providing accounting for the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank project.

Basic Financial Statements, 4-22 AGENCY FUND SPECIAL DEPOSIT FUND The Special Deposit Fund was established for the purpose of holding or retaining cash deposits or other securities pending fulfillment of certain conditions and/or requirements by the depositor. Refunds are made when all obligations have been met and only upon authorization from the transmitting department. C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Basis of Accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures/expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. It relates to the timing of the measurement made regardless of the measurement focus applied: 1. Accrual Both governmental and business-type activities in the Government-wide financial statements and the proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. Substantially all government fund revenues are accrued. Property taxes are billed and collected within the same period in which taxes are levied. Subsidies and grants to proprietary funds, which finance either capital or current operations, are reported as non-operating revenue based on GASB Statement 33. In applying GASB Statement 33 to grant revenues, the provider recognizes liabilities and expenses and the recipient recognizes receivables and revenue when the eligibility requirements, including time requirements, are met. Resources transmitted before the eligibility requirements are met, are reported as advances by the provider and deferred revenue by the recipient. 2. Modified Accrual The governmental funds financial statements are presented on the modified basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual: i.e., both measurable and available. “Available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers all revenue reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related liability is incurred. The exception to this general rule is that principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt, if any, is recognized when due. D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND FUND EQUITY 1. Cash and Cash Equivalents The City has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with maturity of three months or less when purchased. These amounts are classified on the balance sheet or in the statement of net assets as cash and cash equivalents or investments in the various funds. The interest on these investments is prorated to the applicable funds. Included in this category are all funds invested in the Local
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-23 Government Investment Pool and Municipal Investor Account. Excluded from this category are cash balances held by Fiscal Agents since the City does not have discretionary use of these funds. 2. Investments (refer to Note 3B.) 3. Receivables and Payables – Amounts owed/payable to/by the City at year-end. Taxes receivable consists of property taxes and related interest and penalties (refer to Note 4). Accrued interest receivable consists of amounts earned on investments, notes, and contracts. Accrued interest payable consists of amounts owed on notes, loans, and contracts. Customer accounts receivable/payable consists of amounts owed from/to private individuals or organizations for goods and services. If the transactions are with another governmental unit, it is accounted for within “due from/to other governments.” Special assessments are recorded when levied and are liens against the property benefited. Special assessments receivable consist of current and delinquent assessments and related interest and penalties. Deferred assessments consist of special assessments not due within one year. Receivables have been reported net of estimated uncollectible accounts. Because property taxes, special assessments, and utility billings are considered liens on property, no estimated uncollectible amounts are established. Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the Government-wide financial statements as “internal balances” (Refer to Note 10). Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. In the Government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term liabilities are reported in applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Unamortized Premium is the unamortized portion of the excess of bonds proceeds over their face value (excluding accrued interest and issuance costs). Deferred Amount-Refunding is the difference between the carrying amount of redeemed/defeased debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the debt, or the life of the new debt, whichever is shorter. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-24 4. Inventories and prepaid items All City inventories are maintained on a consumption basis of accounting where items are purchased for inventory and charged to the budgetary accounts as the items are consumed. Any material inventories at year-end are included in the balance sheet of the appropriate fund. Inventories are carried at cost on the first in, first out – FIFO basis. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are reported as prepaid items in both the Government-wide and fund statements. 5. Capital Assets and Depreciation (refer to Note 5). 6. Deferred Revenues This account includes amounts recognized as receivables but not revenues in the governmental funds because the revenue recognition criterion has not been met. 7. Custodial Accounts This account reflects the liability for net monetary assets being held by the City in its agency capacity. 8. Compensated Absences The City accrues accumulated unpaid vacation and other leave and associated employee-related costs when earned (or estimated to be earned) by the employee. The non-current portion (the amount estimated to be used in subsequent fiscal years) for governmental funds is maintained separately and represents a reconciling item between the fund and Government-wide presentations. 9. Fund Balance Designations and Reservations In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. The City has the following reserved or designated fund balances.

PROCEDURES FOR ADOPTING THE ORIGINAL BUDGET The City of Renton’s budget procedures are mandated by the Chapter 35A.33 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The steps in the budget process are as follows: 1. Prior to November 1, the Mayor submits a proposed budget to the City Council. This budget is based on priorities established by the Council; estimates provided by the City departments during the preceding months; balanced by revenue estimates made by the Mayor. 2. The City Council conducts public hearings on the proposed budget in November and December. 3. The Council makes their adjustments to the proposed budget and adopts, by ordinance, a final balanced budget no later than December 31. 4. The final operating budget, as adopted, is published and distributed within the first four months of the following year. B. AMENDING THE BUDGET The budget, as adopted, constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. Budgets are adopted on the GAAP basis of accounting. Any comparisons between budget and actual revenues and expenditures are reported under the GAAP basis. The annual budget is adopted with budgetary control at the fund level, so expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at that level of detail. Transfers or revisions within funds are allowed, but only the City Council has the legal authority to increase or decrease a given fund’s annual budget. This is accomplished by City ordinance. The budget was amended twenty-seven times during 2008.

Rule 2a7 allows SEC-registered mutual funds to use amortized cost rather than market value to report net assets and compute share prices. Investments are shown on the entity-wide Statement of Net Assets at fair value or for 2a7-like pools at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments are reported within Cash and Investments of Governmental Activities and within Cash and Cash Equivalents or Investments of Business-type Activities. C.

Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counter party to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the City are conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis. Securities held by a third-party custodian are designated by the City’s Finance and Information Services Administrator. Certificates of Deposit are delivered to and held by the Finance Division. Concentration of credit risk. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer. The City diversifies its investment instruments to avoid incurring unreasonable risk inherent with the over-investment of instruments and issuers as follows: Maximum’s per Policy Instrument Maximum Issuer Maximum U.S. Treasuries 100% 100% U.S. Agencies 75% 50% Certificates of Deposit (within WPDPC) 50% 25% Local Governmental Investment Pool (LGIP) 50% 50% Commercial Paper 25% 5%

PROPERTY TAXES The King County Finance Director acts as an agent to collect property taxes levied in the county for all taxing authorities. Taxes are levied annually, January 1, on property value listed as of the prior August 31. Assessed values are established by the King County Assessor at 100 percent of fair market value. A revaluation of all property is required every two years; however, King County has the ability to revalue annually. Property taxes levied by the King County Assessor and collected by the King County Finance Director become a lien on the first day of the levy year and may be paid in two equal installments if the total amount exceeds $30. The first half of real property taxes is due on April 30 and the balance is due October 31. Delinquent taxes bear interest at the rate of 12 percent and are subject to additional penalties if not paid as scheduled. No allowance for uncollectible taxes is established because delinquent taxes are considered fully collectible. At year-end, property taxes are recorded as a receivable with the portion not expected to be collected within 60 days offset by deferred revenue. During the year, property tax revenues are recognized when cash is received. The tax rate for general City operations is limited to $3.375 per $1,000 of assessed value (RCW 84.52.043). Of this amount, up to .45 cents per thousand dollars may be designated for contribution to the Firemen’s Pension Fund. If a report by a qualified actuary on the condition of the Firemen’s Pension Fund establishes that this amount (or portion of) is not necessary to maintain the actuarial soundness of the fund, the amount can be used for any other municipal purpose (RCW 41.16.060). The tax rate limit may be reduced for any of the following reasons: 1. The Levy Limit: the levy limit calculation applies to a taxing district’s budget, and not to increases in the assessed value or tax bill of individual properties. Initiative 747 which restricted individual taxing districts from collecting, in any year, more than a one percent increase in their regular, non-voted, levy over the highest levy amount since 1985 was overturned by the courts. However during 2007, the state legislature reinstated this limit with the passage of HB2416. New construction, annexations, and excess levies approved by the 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement.

If the assessed valuation increases by more than one percent due to revaluation, the levy rate will be decreased. 2. The One Percent Constitution Limit: The Washington State Constitution limits the regular (non-voted) combined property tax rate applied to an individual’s property to one percent ($10 per $1,000) on the market valuation. Voters may approve special levies that are added to this figure. If the taxes of all districts exceed this amount, each is proportionately reduced until the total is at or below the one percent limit. 3. The City may voluntarily levy taxes below the legal limit. Special levies approved by the voters are not subject to the above limitations. There is currently no excess levy for General Obligation Bond debt. The City’s regular levy per the King County Assessor’s 2009 Annual Report is $2.36923. NOTE 5. CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION A. GENERAL POLICES Major expenditures for capital assets, including capital leases and major repairs that increase the useful life, are capitalized. The capitalization threshold applied to the City’s assets is $5,000. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are accounted for as expenditures or expenses when incurred. All capital assets are valued at historical cost (or estimated cost, where historical cost is not known/or estimated market value for donated assets/or the original historical cost when transferred between proprietary and governmental funds.) The City has acquired certain assets with funding provided by federal financial assistance programs. Depending on the terms of the agreements involved, the federal government could retain an interest in these assets. However, the City has sufficient legal interest to accomplish the purposes for which the assets were acquired, and has included such assets within the applicable statements. The City capitalizes art and historical treasures. Art and historical treasures are expected to be maintained or enhanced over time and thus, are not depreciated. B. GOVERNMENTAL CAPITAL ASSETS Governmental long-lived assets of the City purchased, leased, or constructed are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and are capitalized, net of depreciation, in the Government-wide statements. The infrastructure component of GASB 34 for assets acquired after January 1, 1980 was implemented retroactively in 2004. Any gain on the sale of capital assets is recorded in the Statement of Activities as General revenues, Miscellaneous.

PENSION PLANS With the exception of firefighters employed prior to March 1, 1970, substantially all City’s full-time and qualifying part-time employees participate in one of the following statewide retirement systems administered by the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems, under cost-sharing multiple-employer public employee defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans. The Department of Retirement Systems (DRS), a department within the primary government of the State of Washington, issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for each plan. The DRS CAFR may be obtained by writing to: Department of Retirement Systems, Communications Unit, P.O. Box 48380, Olympia, WA 98504-8380. The City is the administrator of the Firefighter Pension Plan for all firefighters employed prior to March 1, 1970. The Firefighter Pension Plan is included within the City of Renton’s statements as a pension trust fund. There is no separate GAAP-based audited report. A schedule of employer contributions for six years, prepared by Milliman, Consultants and Actuaries, is included in the Required Supplemental Information section. Additional information from the actuarial report prepared for the Firefighter Pension Plan, by Milliman, Consultants and Actuaries, may be obtained by contacting the City of Renton, Finance Division, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057. The following disclosures are made pursuant to GASB Statements No. 27, Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Government Employers and No. 50, Pension Disclosures, an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 25 and No. 27. Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) Plans 1, 2, and 3 Plan Description PERS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement system comprised of three separate plans for membership purposes: Plans 1 and 2 are defined benefit plans and Plan 3 is a defined benefit plan with a defined contribution component. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-36 Membership in the system includes: elected officials; state employees; employees of the Supreme, Appeals, and Superior courts (other than judges currently in a judicial retirement system); employees of legislative committees; community and technical colleges, college and university employees not participating in national higher education retirement programs; judges of district and municipal courts; and employees of local governments. PERS participants, who joined the PERS system by September 30, 1977, are Plan 1 members. Those who joined on or after October 1, 1977; and by either, February 28, 2002 for state and higher education employees, or August 31, 2002 for local government employees, are Plan 2 members unless they exercise an option to transfer their membership to Plan 3. PERS participants joining the system on or after March 1, 2002 for state and higher education employees, or September 1, 2002 for local government employees, have the irrevocable option of choosing membership in either PERS Plan 2 or PERS Plan 3. The option must be exercised within 90 days of employment. An employee is reported in Plan 2 until a choice is made. Employees who fail to choose within 90 days default to PERS Plan 3. Notwithstanding, PERS Plan 2 and Plan 3 members may opt out of plan membership if terminally ill, with less than five years to live. PERS defined benefit retirement benefits are financed from a combination of investment earnings and employer and employee contributions. PERS retirement benefit provisions are established in state statute and may be amended only by the State Legislature. PERS Plan 1 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible service. Plan 1 members are eligible for retirement at any age after 30 years of service, or at age 60 with five years of service, or at age 55 with 25 years of service. The annual benefit is two percent of the average final compensation (AFC) per year of service, capped at 60 percent. (The AFC is based on the greatest compensation during any 24 eligible consecutive compensation months.) Plan 1 members who retire from inactive status prior to the age of 65 may receive actuarially reduced benefits. The benefit is actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor option. A cost-of-living allowance (COLA) is granted at age 66 based on years of service credit times the COLA amount, increased by three percent annually. Plan 1 members may also elect to receive an additional COLA amount that provides an automatic annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index. To offset the cost of this annual adjustment, the benefit is reduced. PERS Plan 2 members are vested after completion of five years of eligible service. Plan 2 members may retire at age 65 with five years of service with an allowance of two percent of the AFC per year of service. (The AFC is based on the greatest compensation during any eligible consecutive 60-month period.) Plan 2 members who retire prior to the age of 65 receive reduced benefits. If retirement is at 55 or older with at least 30 years of service, a three percent per year reduction applies; otherwise an actuarial reduction will apply. The benefit is also actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor option. The benefit is also actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor option. There is no cap on years of service credit; and a cost-of-living allowance is granted (based on the Consumer Price Index), capped at three percent annually.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-37 Plan 3 has a dual benefit structure. Employer contributions finance a defined benefit component, and member contributions finance a defined contribution component. The defined benefit portion provides a benefit calculation at one percent of the AFC per year of service. (The AFC is based on the greatest compensation during any eligible consecutive 60-month period.) Effective June 7, 2006, Plan 3 members are vested in the defined benefit portion of their plan after ten years of service; or after five years if twelve months were earned after age 44; or after five service credit years earned in PERS 2 prior to June 1, 2003. Plan 3 members are immediately vested in the defined contribution portion of their plan. Vested Plan 3 members are eligible to retire with full benefits at age 65, or at age 55 with 10 years of service. Plan 3 members who retire prior to age 65 receive reduced benefits. If retirement is at age 55 or older with at least 30 years of service, a three percent per year reduction applies; otherwise an actuarial reduction will apply. The benefit is also actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor option. There is no cap on years of service credit; and Plan 3 provides the same cost-of-living allowance as Plan 2. The defined contribution portion can be distributed in accordance with an option selected by the member, either as a lump sum or pursuant to other options authorized by the Employee Retirement Benefits Board. Judicial Benefit Multiplier Beginning January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 judicial members of PERS were given the choice to participate in the Judicial Benefit Program (JBM). Justices and judges in PERS 1 and 2 may make a one-time irrevocable election to pay increased contributions that would fund a retirement benefit with a 3.5% multiplier. The benefit would be capped at 75% of AFC. Judges in PERS Plan 3 can elect a 1.6% of pay per year of service benefit, capped at 37.5% of average compensation. Members who choose to participate in JBM will accrue service credit at a higher multiplier beginning with the date of their election, be subject to the benefit cap of 75% of AFC, pay higher contributions, stop contributing to the Judicial Retirement Account (JRA), and be given the option to increase the multiplier on past judicial service. Members who do not choose to participate will: continue to accrue service credit at the regular multiplier; continue to participate in JRA, if applicable; never be a participant in the JBM Program; and continue to pay contributions at the regular PERS rate. Newly elected or appointed justices and judges who chose to become PERS members on or after January 1, 2007, or who have not previously opted into PERS membership, were required to participate in the JBM Program. Members required into the JBM program would: return to prior PERS Plan if membership had previously been established; be mandated into Plan 2 and not have a Plan 3 transfer choice, if a new PERS member; accrue the higher multiplier for all judicial service; not contribute to JRA; and not have the option to increase the multiplier for past judicial service. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-38 Membership in PERS consisted of the following as of the latest actuarial valuation date for the plans of June 30, 2007: Retirees and beneficiaries receiving benefits 71,244 Terminated plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 26,583 Active plan members vested 105,447 Active plan members non-vested 52,575 TOTAL 255,849 There are 2,310 participating employers in PERS as of June 30, 2008. Funding Policy Each biennium, the state Pension Funding Council adopts Plan 1 employer contribution rates, Plan 2 employer and employee contributions rates, and Plan 3 employer contribution rates. Employee contribution rates for Plan 1 are established by statute at 6 percent for state agencies and local government unit employees, and 7.5 percent for state government elected officials. The employer and employee contribution rates for Plan 2 and the employer contribution rate for Plan 3 are developed by the Office of the State Actuary to fully fund Plan 2 and the defined benefit portion of Plan 3. All employers are required to contribute at the level established by the Legislature. Under PERS 3, employer contributions finance the defined benefit portion of the plan, and member contributions finance the defined contribution portion. The Employee Retirement Benefits Board sets Plan 3 employee contribution rates. Six rate options are available ranging from 5 to 15 percent; two of the options are graduated rates dependent on the employee’s age. As a result of the implementation of the Judicial Benefit Multiplier Program in January 2007, a second tier of employer and employee rates was developed to fund, along with investment earnings, the increased retirement benefits of those justices and judges that participate in the program. The methods used to determine the contribution requirements are established under state statute in accordance with Chapters 41.40 and 41.45 RCW. The required contribution rates expressed as a percentage of current-year covered payroll, as of December 31, 2008, were as follows: Members not participating in JBM: Contributor PERS Plan 1 PERS Plan 2 PERS Plan 3 Employer* 8.31%** 8.31%** 8.31*** Employee 6.00%**** 5.45%**** ***** * The employer rates include the employer administrative expense fee currently at 0.16%. ** The employer rate for state elected officials is 12.39% for Plan 1 and 8.31% for Plan 2 & 3. *** Plan 3 defined benefit portion only. **** The employee rate for state elected officials in 7.5% for Plan 1 and 5.45% for Plan 2. ***** Variable from 5.0% minimum to 15.0% maximum based on rate selected by the PERS 3 member.

LEOFF participants who joined the system by September 30, 1977, are Plan 1 members. Those who joined on or after October 1, 1977, are Plan 2 members. Membership in the system includes all full-time, fully compensated; local law enforcement officers, firefighters and as of July 24, 2005, those emergency medical technicians who were given the option and chose LEOFF Plan 2 membership. LEOFF membership is comprised primarily of non-state employees, with the Department of Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers, who were first included prospectively effective July 27, 2003, being an exception. Effective July 1, 2003, the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board was established by Initiative 790 to provide governance of LEOFF Plan 2. The Board’s duties include adopting contribution rates and recommending policy changes to the Legislature for the LEOFF Plan 2 retirement plan. LEOFF defined benefits retirement benefits are financed from a combination of investment earnings, employer and employee contributions, and a special funding situation in which the state pays through state legislative appropriations. LEOFF retirement benefit provisions are established in state statute and may be amended by the State Legislature. LEOFF Plan 1 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible service. Plan 1 members are eligible for retirement with five years of service at the age of 50. The benefit per year of service calculated as a percent of final average salary (FAS) is as follows: Term of Service Percent of FinalAverage Salary 20 or more years 2.0% 10 but less than 20 years 1.5% 5 but less than 10 years 1.0% 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-40 The FAS is the basic monthly salary received at the time of retirement, provided a member has held the same position or rank for 12 months preceding the date of retirement. Otherwise, it is the average of the highest consecutive 24 months’ salary within the last ten years of service. A cost-of-living allowance is granted (indexed to the Consumer Price Index). LEOFF Plan 2 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible service. Plan 2 members may retire at the age of 50 with 20 years of service, or at age 53 with five years of service, with an allowance of two percent of the FAS per year of service. The FAS is based on the highest consecutive 60 months. Plan 2 members who prior to age 53 receive reduced benefits. Benefits are actuarially reduced for each year that the benefit commences prior to age 53 and to reflect the choice of a survivor option. If the member has at least 20 years of service credit and is age 50, the reduction is three percent for each year prior to age 53. There is no cap on years of service credit; and a cost-of-living allowance is granted (indexed to the Consumer Price Index), capped at three percent annually.

LEOFF Plan 2 employer and employees are required to pay at the level adopted by the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board. All employers are required to contribute at the level required by state law. The Legislature, by means of a special funding arrangement, appropriated money from the state General Fund to supplement the current service liability and fund the prior service cost of LEOFF Plan 2 in accordance with the requirements of the Pension Funding Council and the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board. However, this special funding situation is not mandated by the state constitution and this funding requirement could be returned to the employers by a change in statute. The required contribution rates expressed as a percentage of current-year covered payroll, as of December 31, 2008, were as follows: Contributor LEOFF Plan 1 LEOFF Plan 2 Employer* .16% 5.46%** Employee .00% 8.83% State N/A 3.53% * The employer rates include the employer administration expense fee currently at .16%. ** The employer rate for ports and universities is 8.99%.

Basic Financial Statements, 4-44 The Annual Required Contribution (ARC) was computed using the Entry Age Normal Cost Method. Under this method the projected benefits are allocated on a level basis as a percentage of salary over the earnings of each individual between entry age and assumed exit age. The amount allocated to each year is called the Normal Cost and the portion of the Actuarial Present Value of all benefits not provided for by future Normal Cost payments is called the Actuarial Accrued Liability. Since all members have already retired, the amount of the Normal Cost is zero. The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) is the Actuarial Accrued Liability minus the actuarial value of the Fund’s assets. The following Annual Pension Cost and Net Pension Obligation table presents the annual Normal Cost and the ARC as of January 1, 2009, assuming the UAAL is amortized over a closed 30-year period beginning January 1, 2000.

OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Plan Description As required by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 41.26, the City provides lifetime medical care for members of the Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters (LEOFF) retirement system hired before October 1, 1977 under a defined benefit healthcare plan administered by the City. The City is required to pay all healthcare expenses incurred by LEOFF 1 retirees. The City’s cost is reduced by any amounts retirees receive from Medicare or other health plans. LEOFF 1 retirees may request reimbursement for healthcare expenses that are not paid by their primary healthcare plan. The City pays the Medicare Part B premium. In addition, LEOFF 1 retirees are eligible for long term care, dental, and vision benefits and coverage continues throughout the lifetime of the retiree. Dependents do not receive LEOFF 1 postemployment healthcare benefits. Under the authorization of the LEOFF Disability Board, direct payment is made for other retiree medical expenses not covered by standard medical plan benefit provisions. Coverage continues throughout the lifetime of the retiree. Financial reporting for the LEOFF retiree healthcare plan is included in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Membership Membership in this program includes Plan 1 participants of LEOFF who joined the system by September 30, 1977. As of December 31, 2008, 103 retirees met those eligibility requirements. This is considered a closed group with no new members, with the exception of 3 active employees who have not retired. Funding Policy Funding for LEOFF retiree healthcare costs is provided entirely by the City as required by RCW. The City’s funding policy is based upon pay-as-you-go financing requirements. Retirees are not required to contribute any portion of the cost coverage. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-46 Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based upon the annual required contribution (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period of 30 years as of January 1, 2008. The following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City’s net OPEB.

The accrued liability for benefits was $32,327,794 and the actuarial value of the assets was $0 resulting in a UAAL of $32,327,794.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-47 Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation. Employer contributions are financed on a pay-as-you-go basis. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, expenditures of $1,266,192 were recognized for post-retirement health care. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents the results of the OPEB valuations as of December 31, 2008. In future years, the schedule of funding progress will provide multi-year trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial liabilities for benefits Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Nicolay Consulting prepared for the City an actuarial valuation report dated January 1, 2008. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The actuarial valuation report was prepared using the projected unit credit method. The projected unit credit method is an actuarial cost method under which the projected benefits of each individual included in an Actuarial Valuation are separately calculated and allocated to each year of service by a consistent formula. The actuarial assumptions used included a 4.00% discount rate, which is based upon the long-term investment yield on the investments that are expected to be used to finance payment of benefits. Additionally, the following health care trend rate assumptions were used: Expected Annual Increase in Health Care Cost Medical Medicare -Part B Nursing Home Dental and Vision Initial 8.50% 0.00% 4.00% 2.00% Ultimate 5.50% 5.50% 4.00% 2.00% The UAAL is being amortized based on a level dollar amortization over a closed 30 year-period at the assumed discount rate. The remaining amortization period at December 31, 2008 was 29 years. NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES Litigation The City has recorded in its financial statements all material liabilities, including an estimate for situations that are not yet resolved but where, based on available information, management believes it is probable that the City will have to make payment. In the opinion of management, the City’s insurance policies and/or self-insurance reserves are adequate to pay all known or pending claims. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-48 Contingencies under Grant Provisions The City participates in a number of federal and state assisted programs. These grants are subject to audit by the grantors of their representatives. Such audits could result in requests for reimbursement to grantor agencies for expenditures disallowed under the terms of the grants. The City’s management believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial. Bond Indentures The City is in compliance with all significant bond indenture and restrictions, with the following exception. Golf Course net revenues in 2007 and 2008 were severely impacted by inclement weather and general economic conditions, causing it to be temporarily out of compliance with the bond debt service coverage covenant of 125% of annual debt service at the end of 2007 and 2008. The City continues to review rates and the business plan and strategy that aims to adjust and maintain coverage. Construction Commitments Refer to Note 5. NOTE 9. RISK MANAGEMENT The City of Renton is exposed to various risks of loss related to tort; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City of Renton protects itself against unforeseen losses by utilizing a three-pronged risk management approach. First, the City self-funds first level losses through its Insurance Fund. Second, excess insurance is purchased to cover medium and large losses. Third, the City reserves the right to utilize the provisions of Chapter 35A.31.060 RCW to fund catastrophic or uninsured losses. This State statute allows cities to levy a non-voted property tax increase to pay for uninsured claims. An analysis of the self-insurance retention levels, limits of insurance, and claims administrator for the major types of coverage are as follows:

The City of Renton is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW (self-insurance regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal Cooperation Act), nine cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly self-insuring, and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has a total of 126 members. New members initially contract for a three-year term and thereafter automatically renew on an annual basis. A one-year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated. Termination does not relieve a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during membership. Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes general, automobile, police, public officials’ errors or omissions, stop gap, and employee benefits liability. Limits are $3 million per occurrence self insured layer, and $12 million per occurrence in the re-insured excess layer. The excess layer is insured by the purchase of reinsurance and 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-50 insurance and is subject to aggregate limits. Total limits are $15 million per occurrence subject to aggregate sublimits in the excess layers. The Board of Directors determines the limits and terms of coverage annually. Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler and machinery are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage. Property insurance and auto physical damage are self-funded from the members’ deductible to $500,000 for all perils other than flood and earthquake, and insured above that amount by the purchase of reinsurance. In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims and litigation administration, and loss analyses. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation consultants for personnel issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist services. WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis, as determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in the interlocal agreement, WCIA retains the right to additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall. An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment of WCIA’s assets in financial instruments, which comply with all State guidelines. These revenues directly offset portions of the membership’s annual assessment. A Board of Directors governs WCIA, which is comprised of one designated representative from each member. The Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day-to-day operations of WCIA. The City's Risk Management Program is administered by the Human Resources and Risk Management Administrator, with claims being processed by the independent claims administrators noted above. As of December 31, 2008, the City had accrued the following amounts for outstanding claims: Coverage Total Claims Payable 12/31/2008 Property & liability $591,502 Worker’s compensation 590,708 Employee health 1,722,915 TOTAL $2,904,675

NET ASSETS The Government-wide and business type fund financial statements utilize a net asset presentation. Net assets are the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets are categorized as investments in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted, and unrestricted. A. Investment in Capital Assets (net of related debt) is intended to reflect the portion of net assets that are associated with non-liquid, capital assets less outstanding capital asset related debt. The net related debt is the debt less the outstanding liquid assets and any associated unamortized costs. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-54 B. Restricted assets are liquid assets (generated from revenues and not bond proceeds), which have third party (statutory, bond covenant, or granting agency) limitations on their use. The City would typically use restricted assets first, as appropriated opportunities arise, but reserve the right to selectively defer the use thereof to a future project or replacement equipment acquisition.

General Obligation and Refunding Bonds, 2001 to obtain the benefit of savings in annual and total debt service
requirements and to pay costs of issuance for the Bonds.
SECURITY—The Bonds are limited tax general obligations of the City. The City has covenanted and agreed irrevocably that
it will include in its budget and levy an ad valorem tax upon all the property within the City subject to taxation in an
amount that will be sufficient, together with all other revenues and money of the City legally available for such
purposes, to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due. The City has irrevocably pledged
that such tax will be within and as a part of the tax permitted to cities without a vote of the people. The full faith, credit and
resources of the City have been pledged irrevocably for the annual levy and collection of such taxes and for the prompt
payment of such principal and interest. The City’s ability to raise taxes is subject to certain limitations as described
herein. The Bonds do not constitute a debt or indebtedness of the State of Washington, or any political subdivision
thereof other than the City.
TAX EXEMPTION—In the opinion of K&L Gates LLP of Seattle, Washington (“Bond Counsel”), assuming compliance with certain
covenants of the City, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law.
Interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of either individual or corporate alternative minimum tax.
Interest on the Bonds may be indirectly subject to corporate alternative minimum tax and certain other taxes imposed on certain
corporations. See “Tax Matters” herein for a discussion of the opinion of Bond Counsel.
DELIVERY—The Bonds are offered for sale to the original purchaser subject to the final approving legal opinion of Bond
Counsel. It is expected that the Bonds will be available for delivery to the Bond Registrar on behalf of DTC by Fast
Automated Securities Transfer, on or about May 11, 2010.
This cover page contains certain information for quick reference only. It is not a summary of the issue. Investors must read the entire
Official Statement to obtain information essential to the making of an informed investment decision.
This is a Preliminary Official Statement, subject to correction and change. The City has authorized the distribution of the Preliminary Official Statement to prospective purchasers and others.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
City of Renton, Washington
$6,170,000
Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010
The City of Renton, Washington (the “City”), a municipal corporation duly organized and existing under and
by virtue of the laws of the State of Washington (the “State”), furnishes this Official Statement in connection
with the offering of $6,170,000* aggregate principal amount of its Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding
Bonds, 2010 (the “Bonds”). This Official Statement provides information concerning the City and the Bonds.
Description of the Bonds
Authorization for Issuance
The Bonds are issued pursuant to Ordinance No. 5534 (the “Ordinance”), adopted by the City Council (the
“Council”) on April 5, 2010 under the terms of the Renton Municipal Code. The Bonds are also issued
pursuant to the authority of chapters 35.37, 39.36, 39.46 and 39.53 of the Revised Code of Washington
(“RCW”). The Bonds do not require voter approval.
Principal Amount, Date, Interest Rates and Maturities
The Bonds will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $6,170,000 and will be dated and bear interest
from the date of their delivery to the Underwriter. The Bonds will mature on the dates and in the principal
amounts and will bear interest (payable semiannually on each June 1 and December 1, commencing
December 1, 2010) until the maturity of the Bonds at the rates set forth on the cover of this Official Statement.
Interest on the Bonds will be computed on the basis of a 360‐day year consisting of twelve 30‐day months.
Bond Registrar and Registration Features
The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and, when issued, will be registered in the name of CEDE &
Co., as registered owner and nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). DTC will act as securities
depository for the Bonds. Individual purchases will initially be made in book‐entry form only in minimum
denominations of $5,000 within a maturity and integral multiples thereof. Purchasers (“Beneficial Owners”)
will not receive certificates representing their beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds so purchased.
Under the Ordinance, the City adopted the system of registration for the Bonds approved by the State Finance
Committee of the State of Washington (the “Committee”). Pursuant to chapter 43.80 RCW, the Committee
designates one or more fiscal agencies (the “Fiscal Agency”) for bonds issued within the State of Washington.
The Committee currently is under contract with The Bank of New York Mellon, New York, New York. The
Fiscal Agency will act as bond registrar (the “Bond Registrar”) under the terms of the Ordinance.
In order to meet payment requirements for interest on and principal of the Bonds as the same becomes due
and payable, the City will remit money from the City of Renton Limited Tax General Obligation Bond Debt
Service Fund (the “Bond Fund”) to the Bond Registrar. The Bond Registrar will remit payment to DTC in
accordance with the terms of the DTC procedures as then in effect. Principal of the Bonds will be paid to
registered owners upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds at maturity or upon earlier redemption to the
office of the Bond Registrar in New York, New York. See “Book‐Entry Bonds” and Appendix B.
Redemption Provisions
Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing on or prior to December 1, 2019 are not subject to redemption prior
to maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after December 1, 2020 may be redeemed at the option of the City on
or after June 1, 2020, at par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
2
For as long as the Bonds are in book‐entry only form, if fewer than all of the Bonds of a maturity are called for
redemption, the selection of Bonds within a maturity to be redeemed shall be made by DTC, in accordance
with its operational procedures then in effect. See Appendix B attached hereto. If the Bonds are no longer
held in book‐entry only form, then the Bond Registrar will select Bonds for redemption as provided in the
Ordinance.
Notice of Redemption. For so long as the Bonds are held in uncertificated form, notice of redemption (which
notice may be conditional) shall be given in accordance with the operational arrangements of DTC as then in
effect, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar will provide any notice of redemption to any Beneficial
Owners. Thereafter (if the Bonds are no longer held in uncertificated form), notice of redemption shall be
given as provided in the Ordinance. Unless waived by any owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of
any such redemption (which redemption may be conditioned by the Bond Registrar on the receipt of sufficient
funds for redemption or otherwise) shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing a
copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail at least 20 days and not more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown
on the register maintained by the Bond Registrar or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such
registered owner to the Bond Registrar.
In the case of an optional redemption, the notice of redemption may state that the City retains the right to
rescind that notice on or prior to the scheduled redemption date, and that notice and optional redemption
shall be of no effect to the extent that the City gives notice to the affected registered owners at any time on or
prior to the scheduled redemption date that the City is rescinding the redemption notice in whole or in part.
Any Bonds subject to a rescinded notice of redemption are to remain outstanding, and the rescission will not
constitute a default under the Ordinance.
Purchase
The City reserves the right to purchase any of the Bonds offered to it at any time at a price deemed reasonable
by the City. Bonds purchased by the City shall be cancelled.
Book‐Entry Bonds
The ownership of one fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds, as set forth on the cover of this
Official Statement, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, will be registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. See Appendix B attached hereto for additional information concerning DTC
and the book‐entry system.
Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar will have any responsibility or obligation to DTC participants or the
persons for whom they act as nominees (or any successor depository) with respect to the Bonds in respect of
the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC (or any successor depository) or any DTC participant, the
payment by DTC (or any successor depository) or any DTC participant of any amount in respect of the
principal of or interest on Bonds, any notice which is permitted or required to be given to registered owners
under the Ordinance (except such notices as are required to be given by the City to the Bond Registrar or to
DTC (or any successor depository)), or any consent given or other action taken by DTC (or any successor
depository) as the registered owner. For so long as any Bonds are held in fully‐immobilized form under the
Ordinance, DTC or its successor depository will be deemed to be the registered owner for all purposes
thereunder, and all references therein to the registered owners will mean DTC (or any successor depository) or
its nominee and will not mean the owners of any beneficial interest in such Bonds.
Procedure in the Event of Discontinuation of Book‐Entry Transfer System. In the event that (i) DTC or its successor
(or substitute depository or its successor) resigns from its functions as depository, and no substitute depository
can be obtained, or (ii) the Finance and Information Services Administrator (referred to herein as the “Finance
Director”) determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds that such owners be
able to obtain such Bonds in the form of Bond certificates, the ownership of the Bonds may then be transferred
to any person or entity as provided in the Ordinance, and will no longer be held in fully‐immobilized form. In
the event that the Bonds are no longer in fully immobilized form, interest on the Bonds will be paid by check
or draft mailed to the registered owners at the addresses for such registered owners appearing on the Bond
Register on the fifteenth day of the month preceding the interest payment date, or upon the written request of
a registered owner of more than $1,000,000 of Bonds (received by the Bond Registrar at least 15 days prior to
3
the applicable payment date), such payment shall be made by the Bond Registrar by wire transfer to the
account within the continental United States designated by the registered owner. Principal of the Bonds will
be payable upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds by the registered owners at the principal office of
the Bond Registrar.
Purpose and Use of Proceeds
Purpose
The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used to (i) refund a portion of the City’s outstanding general
obligation debt to obtain the benefit of savings in annual and total debt service requirements and (ii) pay costs
of issuance of the Bonds.
Plan of Refunding
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used to advance refund $6,000,000 of the City’s
Limited Tax General Obligation and Refunding Bonds, 2001 maturing on December 1 in the years 2018 and
2019 and the term bond maturing on December 1, 2021 (as identified below, the “Refunded Bonds”). The
proceeds of the Bonds will be escrowed to the redemption date for the Refunded Bonds on December 1, 2011
at which time the Refunded Bonds will be redeemed at a price of par plus accrued interest to the date of
redemption.
From a portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, the City will purchase certain direct non‐callable United States
Government Obligations (as further defined below as “Government Obligations”), including obligations of the
State and Local Government Series (“SLGS”). These Government Obligations will be deposited in the custody
of U.S. Bank National Association (the “Escrow Agent”). The maturing principal of the Government
Obligations, interest earned thereon, and necessary cash balance, if any, will provide payment of:
(a) interest on the Refunded Bonds when due up to and including December 1, 2011; and
(b) on December 1, 2011, the redemption price (par) of the Refunded Bonds.
The Government Obligations, interest earned thereon, and necessary cash balance, if any, will irrevocably be
pledged to and held in trust for the benefit of the owners of the Refunded Bonds by the Escrow Agent,
pursuant to an escrow deposit agreement to be executed by the City and the Escrow Agent.
Information on the Refunded Bonds is as follows:

Verification of Mathematical Calculations
Grant Thornton LLP, a firm of independent certified public accountants, will deliver on or before the delivery
date of the Bonds its verification report indicating that it has verified, in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the mathematical accuracy of (a) the
mathematical computations of the adequacy of the cash and the maturing principal of and interest on the
Government Obligations, to pay, when due, the interest on and redemption price of the Refunded Bonds and
(b) the mathematical computations of yield used by Bond Counsel to support its opinion that interest on the
Bonds will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Security for the Bonds
General
The Bonds are limited tax general obligation bonds of the City. The City, as authorized by law and the
Ordinance, has covenanted and agreed irrevocably that it will include in its budget and levy an ad valorem tax
upon all the property within the City subject to taxation an amount that will be sufficient, together with all
other revenues and money of the City legally available for such purposes, to pay the principal of and interest
on the Bonds as the same become due. The City has irrevocably pledged that such tax will be within and as a
part of the tax levy permitted to cities without a vote of the people. The full faith, credit and resources of the
City have been pledged irrevocably for the annual levy and collection of such taxes and for the prompt
payment of such principal and interest.
The City’s imposition of regular property taxes is subject to various limitations (see “Taxing Authority –
Regular Property Tax Limitations” herein). The Bonds are expected to be paid from the City’s available
resources, and the City does not anticipate tax increases will be needed to pay debt service on the Bonds.
Subject to applicable laws, the City may apply other funds available to make payments with respect to the
Bonds and thereby reduce the amount of future tax levies for such purpose.
The Bonds do not constitute a debt or indebtedness of the State or any political subdivision thereof other than
the City.
Defeasance
In the event that the City, in order to effect the payment, retirement or redemption of any Bond, sets aside in
the Bond Fund or in another special account, cash or noncallable Government Obligations, or any combination
of cash and/or noncallable Government Obligations, in amounts and maturities which, together with the
known earned income therefrom, are sufficient to redeem or pay and retire such Bond in accordance with its
terms and to pay when due the interest and redemption premium, if any, thereon, and such cash and/or
noncallable Government Obligations are irrevocably set aside and pledged for such purpose, then no further
payments need be made into the Bond Fund for the payment of the principal of and interest on such Bond.
The owner of a Bond so provided for will cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security of the Ordinance
except the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest from the Bond Fund or such
special account, and such Bond will be deemed to be not outstanding under the Ordinance.
“Government Obligations” is defined in the Ordinance to have the meaning specified in RCW 39.53.010, as it
may be amended from time to time, which currently means any of the following: (a) direct obligations of, or
obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of
America, and bank certificates of deposit secured by such obligations; (b) bonds, debentures, notes,
participation certificates or other obligations issued by the Banks for Cooperatives, the Federal Intermediate
5
Credit Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank system, the Export‐Import Bank of the United States, Federal Land
Banks or the Federal National Mortgage Association; (c) public housing bonds and project notes fully secured
by contracts with the United States; and (d) obligations of financial institutions insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, to the extent insured or to the
extent guaranteed as permitted under any other provision of State law.
No Acceleration
The Bonds are not subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of a default. The City, therefore, would be liable
only for principal and interest payments as they become due. In the event of multiple defaults in payment of
principal of or interest on the Bonds, the registered owners would be required to bring a separate action for
each such payment not made. This could give rise to a difference in interests between registered owners of
earlier and later maturing Bonds.
Bonded Indebtedness
As prescribed by State statutes, the unlimited tax general obligation indebtedness permitted for cities, subject to
a 60 percent majority vote of registered voters, is limited to 2.5 percent of assessed value for general purposes, 2.5
percent for certain utility purposes and 2.5 percent for open space, park facilities and capital facilities
associated with economic development. Within the 2.5 percent of assessed value for general purposes, the
City may, without a vote of the electors, incur general obligation indebtedness (such as the Bonds) in an amount
not to exceed 1.5 percent of assessed value. Additionally, within the 2.5 percent of assessed value for general
purposes, the City may, also without a vote of the electors, enter into leases if the total principal component of
the lease payments, together with the other nonvoted general obligation indebtedness of the City, does not
exceed 1.5 percent of assessed value. The combination of unlimited tax and limited tax general obligation debt
for general purposes, including leases, cannot exceed 2.5 percent of assessed value and for all purposes cannot
exceed 7.5 percent of assessed value.
Without a vote of the electorate, the City may incur debt as follows:
(1) Pursuant to an ordinance specifying the amount and object of the expenditure of the proceeds,
the City may borrow money for corporate purposes and issue bonds and notes within the
constitutional and statutory limitations on indebtedness.
(2) The City may execute conditional sales contracts for the purchase of real or personal property.
(3) The City may execute leases with or without an option to purchase.

Taxing Authority
Authorized Property Tax Levies
The City is authorized to impose (1) a regular levy (up to $3.60/$1,000, less the library district levy, not to
exceed $0.50/$1,000 of assessed value) and (2) excess levies (unlimited as to rate or amount). For the 2010
collection year, the City’s regular levy is $2.71184/$1,000. The regular levy is imposed without a vote of the
people for general purposes, including payment of debt service on the Bonds, and is subject to limitations (see
“Regular Property Tax Limitations” herein). Excess levies are imposed, upon voter approval, to pay debt
service on unlimited tax general obligation bonds. An excess levy also may be imposed without a vote to
prevent the impairment of a contract (RCW 84.52.052).

Overlapping Taxing Districts
The overlapping taxing districts within the City have the statutory power to levy regular property taxes at the
following rates subject to the limitations provided by chapter 84.55 RCW, and levy excess voter approved
property taxes. For purposes of demonstration, representative levy rates for “levy code 2100” of King County
(the “County”), as well as the statutory levy authority of each type of potential overlapping district, are listed
below. Levy code 2100 is wholly within the City, however it does not include all of the property within the
City; as a result, additional taxing districts, not listed below, levy taxes within the City.

(1) King County levy code 2100 is included within the incorporated portion of King County and therefore does not have a
road levy; likewise, it does not contain a rural library district or a fire protection district.
(2) Pursuant to RCW 84.52.043(1), a county may increase its levy from $1.80 per $1,000 of assessed value to a rate not to
exceed $2.475 per $1,000 of assessed value for general county purposes if (i) the total levies for both the county and
any road district within the county do not exceed $4.05 per $1,000 of assessed value and (ii) no other taxing district has
its levy reduced as a result of the increased county levy.
(3) RCW 41.16.060. $0.225 of the total $3.60 can be used for pension funding purposes, if required; otherwise this tax may
be levied and used for any other municipal purpose.
(4) The City’s levy authority of $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed value is impacted due to its annexation to the King County
Rural Library District. The library district has the authority to levy up to $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed value thereby
reducing the City’s levy authority to $3.10 per $1,000 of assessed value. The King County Rural Library District is not
within levy code 2100.
(5) RCW 84.52.043(1). The levy by the State may not exceed $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed value adjusted to the State
equalized value in accordance with the indicated ratio fixed by the State Department of Revenue to be used
exclusively for the support of the common schools.
(6) Washington school districts do not have nonvoted regular levy authority.

General Property Taxes
The following provides a general description of the City’s taxing authority and limitations thereon, the method
of determining the assessed value of real and personal property, tax collection procedures, and tax collection
information.
Authorized Property Taxes. The City is authorized to levy both “regular” property taxes and “excess” property
taxes.
(1) Regular Property Taxes. Regular property taxes are subject to constitutional and statutory limitations
as to rates and amounts and commonly are imposed by taxing districts for general municipal
purposes, including the payment of debt service on limited tax general obligation indebtedness, such
as the Bonds. Regular property taxes do not require voter approval except as described below.
(2) Excess Property Taxes. Excess property taxes are not subject to limitation as to rates or amounts but
must be authorized by a 60 percent approving popular vote, as provided in Article VII, Section 2, of
the State Constitution and RCW 84.52.052. To be valid, such popular vote must have a minimum
voter turnout of 40 percent of the number who voted at the last City general election, except that one‐
11
year excess tax levies also are valid if the turnout is less than 40 percent and the measure receives a
number of affirmative votes equal to or greater than 24 percent of the number who voted at the last
City general election. Excess levies may be imposed without a popular vote when necessary to
prevent impairment of the obligations of contracts.
Regular Property Tax Limitations
The authority of a city to levy taxes without a vote of the people for general city purposes, including the
payment of debt service on limited tax general obligation indebtedness, such as the Bonds, is subject to the
limitations described below. Information relating to regular property tax limitations is based on existing
statutes and constitutional provisions. Changes in such laws could alter the impact of other interrelated tax
limitations on the City.
Regular property tax levies are subject to rate limitations and amount limitations and to the uniformity
requirement of Article VII, Section 1 of the State Constitution, which specifies that a taxing district must levy
the same rate on similarly classified property throughout the district. Aggregate property taxes vary within
the county because of its different overlapping taxing districts. In the event that the maximum permissible
levy varies within the City, the lowest permissible rate for any part of the City would be applied to the entire
City.
Maximum Rate Limitation. Title 84 RCW authorizes the imposition of regular tax levies to various statutory
maximums (see “Overlapping Taxing Districts” herein).
The One Percent Aggregate Regular Levy Limitation. Article VII, Section 2 of the Washington Constitution, as
amended in 1973, limits aggregate regular property tax levies by the State and all taxing districts, except port
districts and public utility districts, to one percent of the true and fair value of property. RCW 84.52.050
provides the same limitation by statute.
$5.90/$1,000 Aggregate Regular Levy Limitation. Within the one percent limitation described above,
RCW 84.52.043(2) imposes an aggregate limitation on regular tax levies by all taxing districts, other than the
State, of $5.90/$1,000 of assessed value, except levies for any port or public utility district; excess levies
authorized in Article VII, Section 2 of the State Constitution; and certain levies for acquiring conservation
futures, for emergency medical services or care, and to finance affordable housing.
Uniformity Requirement. Article VII, Section 1 of the Washington Constitution requires that property taxes be
levied at a uniform rate upon the same class of property within the territorial limits of a taxing district levying
such taxes. It is possible because of different overlapping taxing districts in different areas of the City that the
maximum permissible levy might vary within the City. In that event, to comply with the constitutional
requirement for uniformity of taxation, the lowest permissible rate for any part of the City would be applied to
the entire City.
Prioritization of Levies. RCW 84.52.010 provides that if aggregate levies certified by all taxing districts exceed
the aggregate levy limitations described above, levies certified by junior taxing districts are reduced or
eliminated in order to bring the aggregate levy into compliance with the statutory maximum prescribed by
RCW 84.52.050 and 84.52.043. RCW 84.52.043 defines “junior taxing districts” as all taxing districts other than
the state, counties, road districts, cities, towns, port districts, and public utility districts.
The tax levy for unlimited tax general obligation bonds is a special excess levy approved by the voters, and as
such, is not subject to the limitations on regular levies described above.
The Levy Limitation. The regular property tax increase limitation (chapter 84.55 RCW) limits the total dollar
amount of regular property taxes levied by an individual local taxing district such as the City to the amount of
such taxes levied in the highest of the three most recent years multiplied by a limit factor, plus an adjustment
to account for taxes on new construction, annexations, improvements and State‐assessed property at the
previous yearʹs rate. The limit factor is the lesser of 101 percent of the highest levy in the three previous years
(excluding new construction, improvements, and State‐assessed property) or 100 percent plus inflation, unless
a greater amount is approved by a simple majority of the voters. With a supermajority vote of the Council, the
limit factor is a flat 101 percent.
12
RCW 84.55.092 allows the property tax levy to be set at the amount that would be allowed if the tax levy for
taxes due in each year since 1986 had been set at the full amount allowed under chapter 84.55 RCW. This is
sometimes referred to as “banked” levy capacity. The City has $5,724,309 in banked levy capacity.
With a majority vote of its electors, a taxing district may levy, within the rate limitations described above,
more than what otherwise would be allowed by the tax increase limitation indefinitely or for a limited period
or to satisfy a limited purpose, as allowed by RCW 84.55.050. This is known as a “levy lid lift.” A newly
created taxing district can initiate its levy at the maximum permitted statutory levy rate, unless that rate would
exceed any of the limitations described above.
Since the regular property tax increase limitation applies to the total dollar amount levied rather than to levy
rates, increases in the assessed value of all property in the taxing district (excluding new construction,
improvements and State‐assessed property) which exceed the rate of growth in taxes allowed by the limit
factor result in decreased regular tax levy rates, unless voters authorize a higher levy or the taxing district uses
banked levy capacity. Decreases in the assessed value of all property in the taxing district (including new
construction, improvements and State‐assessed property) or increases in such assessed value that are less than
the rate of growth in taxes imposed, among other events, may result in increased regular tax levy rates.
The tax levy for unlimited tax general obligation bonds are special excess levies approved by a 60 percent
majority of the voters, and as such, are not subject to the rate or amount limitations on regular levies described
above.
Assessed Value
The County Assessor, or equivalent thereof (“Assessor”), determines the value of all real and personal
property throughout the County that is subject to ad valorem taxation, except certain utility properties which
are valued by the State Department of Revenue. The Assessor is an elected official whose duties and methods
of determining value are prescribed and controlled by statute and by detailed regulations promulgated by the
State Department of Revenue.
For tax purposes, the assessed value of property is 100 percent of its market value. Three approaches may be
used to determine real property value: market data, replacement cost and income generating capacity. In the
County, all property is subject to an annual property valuation and an on‐site revaluation at least once every
four years. The property is listed by the Assessor on a roll at its current assessed value and the roll is filed in
the Assessor’s office. The Assessor’s determinations are subject to revisions by the County Board of
Equalization and, for certain property, subject to further revisions by the State Board of Tax Appeals.
Tax Collection Procedure
Property taxes are levied in specific amounts and the rate for all taxes levied for all taxing districts in a county
is determined, calculated and fixed by the Assessor based upon the assessed value of the property within the
various taxing districts. The Assessor extends the taxes to be levied within each taxing district on a tax roll
which contains the total amount of taxes to be so levied and collected. The tax roll is delivered to the County
Treasurer, or equivalent thereof, by January 15, who creates a tax account for each taxpayer and is responsible
for the collection of taxes due to each account. All such taxes are due and payable on April 30 of each year, but
if the amount due from a taxpayer exceeds $50, one‐half may be paid then and the balance no later than
October 31, of each year. Delinquent taxes are subject to interest at the rate of 12 percent per year computed on
a monthly basis from the date of delinquency until paid. In addition, a penalty of three percent will be
assessed on June 1st of the year in which the tax was due and eight percent on December 1st of the year due.
All collections of interest on delinquent taxes are to be credited to the County’s current expense fund.
The method of giving notice of payment of taxes due, the accounting for the money collected, the division of
the taxes among the various taxing districts, notices of delinquency, and collection procedures are all covered
by detailed statutes. The lien on property taxes is prior to all other liens or encumbrances of any kind on real
or personal property subject to taxation. By law the County Treasurer may not commence foreclosure of a tax
lien on real property until three years have passed since the first delinquency. The State’s courts have not
decided whether the Homestead Law (chapter 6.13 RCW) may give the occupying homeowner a right to retain
the first $125,000 of proceeds of the forced sale of the family residence or other “homestead” property for
13
delinquent general property taxes. (See Algona v. Sharp, 30 Wn. App. 837, 638 P.2d 627 (1982), holding the
homestead right superior to the improvement district assessments). The United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Western District of Washington has held that the Homestead Exemption applies to the lien for property
taxes, while the State Attorney General has taken the position that it does not.

Collection of Other Taxes
In addition to regular property tax levies, the City is also authorized to impose various other taxes, including
those described below. Neither the State nor any municipal corporation of the State is authorized under the
State Constitution to impose a tax on net income.
Sales and Use Tax. The State first levied a retail sales tax and a corresponding use tax on taxable retail sales and
uses of personal property in 1935. Sales taxes currently are imposed on the purchase by consumers (including
businesses and governmental entities) of a broad base of tangible personal property and selected services,
including construction (labor and materials), machinery and supplies, services and repair of real and personal
property and many other transactions not taxed in other states. The use tax supplements the sales tax by
taxing the use of certain services and by taxing personal property on which a sales tax has not been paid (such
as items purchased in a state that imposes no sales tax). The State Legislature, and the voters through the
initiative process, have changed the base of the sales and use tax on occasion. Among the various items not
14
currently subject to sales and use taxes are most personal services, motor vehicle fuel, most food for off‐
premises consumption, trade‐ins and purchases for resale.
Sales taxes upon applicable retail sales are collected by the seller from the consumer. Use taxes are payable by
the consumer upon applicable rendering of services or uses of personal property. Each seller is required to
hold taxes collected in trust until remitted to the State Department of Revenue, which usually occurs on a
monthly basis. The City’s sales and use tax is collected by the State Department of Revenue and remitted on a
monthly basis under a contract that provides for a deduction of one percent of the tax collected for
administration costs. Distribution to the City lags approximately two months behind collection.
The State currently imposes a sales and use tax of 6.5 percent. Cities, counties and certain other municipal
corporations are authorized to levy incremental local sales and use taxes for general governmental purposes.
The City is authorized to impose a local sales and use tax of one percent, of which 0.15 percent is required to
be remitted to the County. The County also imposes various local sales and use taxes, including 0.1 percent to
support criminal justice purposes. The first 10 percent of the revenues generated by the 0.1 percent criminal
justice tax is allocated to the County. The remaining 90 percent of the criminal justice tax revenues is allocated
to the County and cities within the County based on population. The proceeds of the 0.1 percent criminal
justice tax may not be used to replace pre‐existing funding. Sales and use taxes currently are imposed in the
County at aggregate rates ranging from 8.6 to 9.5 percent. The County imposes additional sales and use taxes
on car rentals and the sale of food and beverages at restaurants, taverns and bars.
Sales & Use Tax Streamlining. In 2003, the State Legislature approved legislation authorizing the State’s
membership in the national Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (the “SSUTA”), in an effort to make
sales and use taxes in the State more uniform with other states. Congress has required that state sales taxes be
more uniform before Congress will permit taxation of interstate catalog and internet sales. In 2007, the State
Legislature adopted legislation fully conforming to the SSUTA. Effective July 1, 2008, the sales tax system
changed in the State from an origin‐based system to a destination‐based system. Under destination sourcing,
sales taxes are credited to the taxing jurisdiction where the purchaser takes delivery of the goods (which may
differ from the point of sale with respect to goods delivered to the purchaser). The rate of the tax is now
determined by the local rate in the destination taxing jurisdiction.
The State Legislature enacted certain provisions to mitigate net losses in sales and use tax collections of local
taxing jurisdictions resulting from the change to a destination‐based system. To qualify, the local taxing
jurisdiction must be negatively impacted by the legislation and the local sales tax must be in effect before
July 1, 2008, among other requirements. The State legislation requires the Department of Revenue to
determine each local jurisdiction’s annual losses, and distributions are required to be made quarterly
representing one‐fourth of a jurisdiction’s annual loss less voluntary compliance revenue from the previous
quarter. Losses in sales tax revenues are based on a business by business comparison of sales patterns in each
jurisdiction before and after the change to destination‐based sales tax. Mitigation payments are distributed at
the end of each quarter for the net loss experienced in the second preceding quarter. For example, the first
payments were made on December 31, 2008 for July through September (third quarter) 2008.
Money for mitigation is subject to appropriation by the State Legislature. The City has not received mitigation
payments as a result of this legislation. Although the City cannot predict its future sales tax receipts, if the
City is negatively impacted by the legislation in the future, it intends to seek mitigation payments to offset any
losses to long as it is eligible.
When a jurisdiction’s “voluntary compliance revenue” exceeds its loss of local sales tax revenue, the
jurisdiction will cease receiving mitigation payments. “Voluntary compliance revenue” is the local sales tax
revenue gain to each local taxing jurisdiction reported to the Department by sellers in other states voluntarily
registered through the SSUTA.
Lodging Tax. The City is authorized to impose a local option tax of one percent on sales of lodging. This tax is
credited against the State’s 6.5 percent retail sales tax and results in no net increase to the taxpayer. The uses
of lodging tax proceeds are restricted by State law for tourism promotion purposes only.
15
Real Estate Excise Tax. The City is authorized to impose a real estate excise tax on each sale of real property at
the rate of 0.50 percent of the selling price. (This is in addition to the real estate excise tax imposed by the State
at the rate of 1.28 percent.)
The first 0.25 percent tax (ʺREET 1ʺ) is imposed pursuant to RCW 82.46.010 and may be used solely for
financing certain “capital projects” specified in a capital facilities plan element of the City’s a comprehensive
plan. Eligible “capital projects” for REET 1 include: streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road
lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, parks,
recreational facilities, law enforcement facilities, fire protection facilities, trails, libraries, administrative and
judicial facilities.
The second 0.25 percent tax (“REET 2”) is imposed pursuant to RCW 82.46.035(2) and may be used solely for
the following capital projects specified in a capital facilities plan element of the City’s a comprehensive plan.
Eligible “capital projects” for REET 2 include: streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting
systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, and planning,
construction, reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation, or improvement of parks. REET 2 excludes the use of funds
to acquire land for parks.
The City must deposit and account for real estate excise tax proceeds in a separate capital projects fund or
account. REET 1 and REET 2 revenues must be tracked separately because the uses to which they may be put
are different. RCW 82.46.030(2) and RCW 82.46.035(4). Real estate excise taxes are collected by the County
Treasurer of the county within which the property is located and distributed to the City periodically.
Distributions may be suspended if the City is in noncompliance under RCW 36.70A.340 (relating to growth
management planning). The City currently believes it is in compliance with this statute.
Utility Tax. The City is authorized to impose a utility business and occupation tax on the gross receipts of
utilities providing service within the City, including investor‐owned utilities and utilities owned by the City.
The maximum rate at which the City may levy the utility business and occupation tax without a vote of the
electorate varies by the type of utility.
The following table shows the historical General Fund revenues from these taxes.

Authorized Investments
Chapter 35.39 RCW limits the investment by a city of its inactive funds or other funds in excess of current
needs to the following authorized investments: United States bonds; United States certificates of indebtedness;
bonds or warrants of the State and any local government in the State; its own bonds or warrants of a local
improvement district which are within the protection of the local improvement guaranty fund law; and any
other investment authorized by law for any other taxing district or the State Treasurer. Under chapter 43.84
RCW, the State Treasurer may invest in non‐negotiable certificates of deposit in designated qualified public
depositories; in obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and wholly owned corporations; in bankers’
acceptances; in commercial paper; in the obligations of the federal home loan bank, federal national mortgage
association and other government corporations subject to statutory provisions and may enter into repurchase
agreements. Utility revenue bonds and warrants of any city and bonds or warrants of a local improvement
district are also eligible investments (RCW 35.39.030).
Money available for investment may be invested on an individual fund basis or may, unless otherwise
restricted by law, be commingled within one common investment portfolio. All income derived from such
investment may be either apportioned to and used by the various participating funds or for the benefit of the
general government in accordance with city ordinances or resolutions. Funds derived from the sale of bonds
or other instruments of indebtedness will be invested or used in such manner as the authorizing ordinances,
resolutions or bond covenants may lawfully prescribe.
Local Government Investment Pool
The State Treasurer’s Office administers the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool (the
“LGIP”), a fund that invests money on behalf of more than 450 cities, counties and special taxing districts. In
its management of LGIP, the State Treasurer is required to adhere, at all times, to the principles appropriate for
the prudent investment of public finds. These are, in priority order, (i) the safety of principal; (ii) the assurance
of sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow demands; and (iii) to attain the highest possible yield within the
constraints of the first two goals. Historically, the LGIP has had sufficient liquidity to meet all cash flow
demands.
The LGIP, authorized by chapter 43.250 RCW, is a voluntary pool which provides its participants the
opportunity to benefit from the economies of scale inherent in pooling. It is also intended to offer participants
increased safety of principal and the ability to achieve a higher investment yield than would otherwise be
available to them. The LGIP is restricted to investments with maturities of one year or less, and the average
life typically is less than 90 days. Investments permitted under the LGIP’s guidelines include U.S. government
and agency securities, bankers’ acceptances, high quality commercial paper, repurchase and reverse
repurchase agreements, motor vehicle fund warrants, and certificates of deposit issued by qualified
Washington State depositories.
As of December 31, 2009, the City’s investments at market value totaled $74,655,350 of which 51 percent was
invested in the LGIP, 40 percent was invested in certificates of deposit and nine percent was invested in
U.S. government securities.
Authorized Investments for Bond Proceeds
In addition to the eligible investments discussed above, bond proceeds may also be invested in mutual funds
with portfolios consisting of U.S. government and guaranteed agency securities with average maturities of less
than four years; municipal securities rated in one of the four highest categories; and money market funds
consisting of the same, so long as municipal securities held in the fund(s) are in one of the two highest rating
categories of a nationally recognized rating agency. Bond proceeds may also be invested in shares of money
market funds with portfolios of securities otherwise authorized by law for investment by local governments
(RCW 39.59.030).

(1) In 2007 the Parks, Street, and Library Funds were combined with the General Fund, instead of reported as separate
special revenue funds. This change increased the beginning balance of the General Fund by the previous year’s Parks,
Street, and Library Funds’ ending balances in the amount of $1,285,989, $1,698,995 and $188,605, respectively. In
addition to the change in 2007 beginning fund balance, this consolidation also affected the amount of tax revenues
reported in the General Fund. See the General Fund Tax Revenues table herein for the portion of taxes accounted for
in the “General Sub‐Fund” prior to 2007. Expenses related to the Parks, Street and Library Funds were categorized
under “Culture & recreation.”
(2) Decline in “General government” from 2008 to 2009 was due certain funds being reallocated to the City’s Internal
Services Fund (outside of the General Fund). Charges to the Internal Services Fund were allocated to “Culture &
recreation,” resulting in an increase from 2008 to 2009.
(3) The increase in 2008 “Security of persons and property” expenditures is attributable to the Benson Hill‐Cascade area
annexation that took effect in 2008. In addition, the City entered into a service contract to provide fire and emergency
medical services to the remainder of King County Fire District 40, whose service area was reduced substantially by
this annexation.
(4) The 2008 operating deficit (and reduction in fund balance) represents primarily startup costs for new equipment
purchases and facility improvements the City incurred for the annexation of the Benson Hill‐Cascade area.
(5) In 2005 the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund was combined with the General Fund. The
beginning balance of the General Fund was increased by the previous years CDBG Fund’s ending balance in the
amount of $42,762.

Pension Funding
Substantially all of these employees are enrolled in the State of Washington Public Employees Retirement
System (“PERS”) or the Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters Retirement System (“LEOFF”).
Contributions by both employees and employers are based on gross wages. PERS and LEOFF participants
who joined the system by September 30, 1977 are Plan 1 members. Those PERS participants who joined on or
after October 1, 1977 and by August 31, 2002 are Plan 2 members, unless they exercise an option to transfer to
Plan 3. PERS participants joining on or after September 1, 2002 have the irrevocable option of choosing
membership in PERS Plan 2 or PERS Plan 3. LEOFF participants who joined on or after October 1, 1977 are
Plan 2 members. The City contributed $2,210,892 to PERS and $1,258,704 to LEOFF in 2009 for all of the City’s
employees that are covered under PERS and LEOFF.
The following tables outline the contribution rates of employees and employers under PERS and LEOFF.
PERS Contribution Rates as of September 1, 2009
Plan 1 Plan 2 Plan 3
Employee 6.00%3.90%Variable (1)
Employer (2) 5.31%5.31%5.31%
(1) Rates vary from 5.0% minimum to 15.0% maximum based on rate selected by the PERS 3 member.
(2) Includes a 0.16% administration fee.

Plan 1 Plan 2
Employee 0.00%8.46%
Employer (1) 0.16%5.24%
(1) Includes a 0.16% administration fee.
According to information provided by the Office of the State Actuary, based upon revised demographic and
economic assumptions, the total unfunded actuarial accrued liability of Plan I of the PERS System currently is
$3.99 billion, of which the State share is $1.596 billion and the local government share is $2.394 billion. In 2005
and 2006, the State Legislature enacted and authorized the State Pension Funding Council to adopt changes in
contribution rates to PERS intended to amortize the PERS I unfunded actuarial liability by 2024. According to
information provided by the Office of the State Actuary, Plan II and III of PERS currently have no unfunded
actuarial accrued liability.
While the City’s contributions in 2009 represent its full current liability under the systems, any unfunded
pension benefit obligations could be reflected in future years as higher contribution rates. It is expected that
the contribution rates for employees and employers in the PERS II and III will increase.

Systems’ annual financial report. A copy of this report may be obtained at:

Other Post‐Employment Benefits
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) has issued a new standard concerning Accounting
and Financial Reporting by Employers for Post‐Employment Benefits Other than Pensions (GASB 45). In
addition to pensions, many State and local governmental employers provide other post‐employment benefits
(“OPEB”) as a part of total compensation to attract and retain the services of qualified employees. OPEB
includes post‐employment health care as well as other forms of post‐employment benefits when provided
separately from a pension plan. The new standard provides for the measurement, recognition and display of
OPEB expenses/expenditures, related liabilities (assets), note disclosures, and, if applicable, required
supplementary information in the financial reports.
The City’s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer
(“ARC”), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB 45. The ARC
represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year
and to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period of 30 years as of January 1, 2008. The
following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for 2008, the amount actually
contributed to the plan and changes in the City’s net OPEB:
Determination of Required Annual Contribution
Annual Normal Costs – Beginning of Year $ 154,545
Amortization of UAAL* – Beginning of Year 1,869,523
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) 2,024,068

The City’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB
obligation for 2009 were as follows:
Fiscal Contribution as a
Year Annual Percentage of Net OPEB
Ended OPEB Cost Annual OPEB Cost Obligation
2008 $2,024,068 91.08% $180,494
Budgetary Policies
The City budgets it funds in accordance with chapter 35A.33 RCW. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted
for the general, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds on the cash basis of accounting and
include fund balances. The City provides a reconciliation of the differences between the budgetary basis and
GAAP each year in its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
22
The City Council annually adopts a budget by ordinance establishing appropriations for City funds, and
during the year may authorize supplemental appropriations. Administrative and legal budgetary control is
established at the fund level, i.e., expenditures for a fund may not exceed the total appropriation amount. The
Mayor or Chief Administrative Officer may authorize transfers of appropriations within a fund however
interfund transfers must be approved by ordinance of the Council.
Risk Management
The City is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). Utilizing chapter 48.62 RCW
(self‐insurance regulation) and chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal Cooperation Act), nine cities originally formed
WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly
purchasing insurance, jointly self‐insuring, and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has
a total of 129 members.
New members initially contract for a three‐year term, and thereafter automatically renew on an annual basis.
A one‐year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated. Termination does not relieve
a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes general,
automobile, police, public officials’ errors or omissions, stop gap, and employee benefits liability. Limits are
$4 million per occurrence self insured layer, and $16 million per occurrence in the re‐insured excess layer. The
excess layer is insured by the purchase of reinsurance and insurance. Total limits are $20 million per
occurrence subject to aggregate sublimits in the excess layers. The WCIA Board of Directors determines the
limits and terms of coverage annually.
Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler and
machinery are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage. Property insurance
and auto physical damage are self‐funded from the members’ deductible to $500,000, for all perils other than
flood and earthquake, and insured above that amount by the purchase of reinsurance.
In‐house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims and litigation
administration, and loss analyses. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation consultants for personnel
issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis, as
determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, and
administrative expenses. As outlined in the Interlocal Cooperation Act, WCIA retains the right to additionally
assess the membership for any funding shortfall.
An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment of WCIAʹs
assets in financial instruments which comply with all State guidelines. These revenues directly offset portions
of the membershipʹs annual assessment.
A Board of Directors governs WCIA, which is comprised of one designated representative from each member.
The Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the
organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for
conducting the day to day operations of WCIA.
Auditing of City Finances
Accounting systems and budgetary controls are prescribed by the Office of the State Auditor in accordance
with RCW 43.09.200 and RCW 43.09.230. State statutes require audits for cities the size of the City to be
conducted by the Office of the State Auditor. The City complies with the systems and controls prescribed by
the Office of the State Auditor and establishes procedures and records which reasonably assure safeguarding
of assets and the reliability of financial reporting.
The State Auditor is required to examine the affairs of cities at least once every two years, however the City
requests annual audits. The examination must include, among other things, the financial condition and
resources of the City, whether the laws and constitution of the State are being complied with, and the methods
23
and accuracy of the accounts and reports of the City. Reports of the auditor’s examinations are required to be
filed in the office of the State Auditor and in the finance department of the City. The audited financial
statements of the City for the year ended December 31, 2008, attached as Appendix C, are incorporated by
reference to this Official Statement.
Demographic Information
The City surrounds the southern end of Lake Washington, southeast of Seattle on
Interstate 405. The City is located approximately 20 miles southeast of the City of
Seattle and approximately 60 miles northeast of the City of Olympia, the State’s
capital. As of the 2009 population estimates, the City ranked fifth in size among
cities in the County. The City had a population of 83,650 as estimated in 2009 by the
State Office of Financial Management, an increase of 39 percent since 2007 when the
City annexed the Benson Hill‐Cascade area. Historical population of the City and
the County are shown below.

Flood Management
In January 2009, record rainfall in southern King County caused rivers to swell and flooding to occur even
with dams and levee systems in place in many areas. In addition to the heavy rainfall, warmer temperatures
added snowmelt to the run‐off and tributary stream flooding. The Howard Hanson Dam on the Green River,
which runs through southern King County, received record peak inflows and the reservoir at the dam reached
a record level. As a result, the dam appears to have been damaged. Engineers for the Army Corps of
Engineers (the “Corps”), which built and maintains the dam, are assessing a depression in one of the dam’s
abutments to determine the extent and cause of the damage. Although the Corps has assured that there is no
risk of the dam failing, the Corps has announced that it will store less water behind the dam as a safety
precaution until the issue is resolved. As a result, the Corps may release rainwater from storms into the lower
Green River earlier and more often than in the past, which could potentially overwhelm levees that protect
low‐lying parts of the southern portion of the City. It cannot be predicted whether a flood or other natural
disaster will occur or if such event did occur, what the impact would be on the City or its operations.
King County
The County is located on Puget Sound in Washington and covers more than 2,200 square miles. The County is
the largest metropolitan county in the State in terms of number of cities and employment and includes more
than one quarter of the State’s population. The tables in the following section include the most recent
information available. Similar to other municipalities nationwide, the City, the County and the State have
experienced and may continue to experience negative impacts due to current economic conditions. Major
contributors to the area’s economy are manufacturing, technology‐based business, the Port of Seattle, services
industry, tourism, fishing and agriculture.

Initiative and Referendum
Under the State Constitution, the voters of the State have the ability to initiate legislation and require the
Legislature to refer legislation to the voters through the powers of initiative and referendum, respectively. The
initiative power in Washington may not be used to amend the State Constitution. Initiatives and referenda are
submitted to the voters upon receipt of a petition signed by at least eight percent (initiative) and four percent
(referendum) of the number of voters registered and voting for the office of Governor at the preceding regular
gubernatorial election. Any law approved in this manner by a majority of the voters may not be amended or
repealed by the Legislature within a period of two years following enactment, except by a vote of two‐thirds of
all the members elected to each house of the Legislature. After two years, the law is subject to amendment or
repeal by the Legislature in the same manner as other laws.
Tax and fee initiative measures have been and may be filed from time to time. It cannot be predicted whether
any such initiatives might gain sufficient signatures to qualify for submission to the Legislature and/or the
voters or, if submitted, whether they ultimately would be approved.
Under the City Municipal Code, Renton voters may initiate Municipal Code amendments and local legislation,
including modifications to existing legislation and through referendum may prevent legislation passed by the
City Council from becoming law.

Tax Matters
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on
individuals and corporations; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into account in determining adjusted
current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations.
Federal income tax law contains a number of requirements that apply to the Bonds, including investment
restrictions, periodic payments of arbitrage profits to the United States, requirements regarding the use of
proceeds of the Bonds and the facilities refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds and certain other matters. The
City has covenanted to comply with all applicable requirements.
Bond Counsel’s opinion is subject to the condition that the City comply with the above‐referenced covenants
and, in addition, will rely on representations by the City and its advisors with respect to matters solely within
the knowledge of the City and its advisors, respectively, which Bond Counsel has not independently verified.
If the City fails to comply with such covenants or if the foregoing representations are determined to be
inaccurate or incomplete, interest on the Bonds could be included in gross income for federal income tax
purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds, regardless of the date on which the event causing
taxability occurs. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will also rely on the report of Grant Thornton LLP
with respect to the accuracy of certain mathematical calculations.
Except as expressly stated above, Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any other federal or state
income tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds. Owners of the Bonds
should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any collateral tax consequences of owning the
Bonds, which may include original issue discount, original issue premium, purchase at a market discount or at
a premium, taxation upon sale, redemption or other disposition, and various withholding requirements.
Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that ownership of the Bonds may result in collateral
federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, financial institutions,
property and casualty insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement
benefits, certain S corporations with “excess net passive income,” foreign corporations subject to the branch
profits tax, life insurance companies and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued
indebtedness to purchase or carry or have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable to the Bonds. Bond
Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any collateral tax consequences. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds
should consult their tax advisors regarding collateral federal income tax consequences.
Payments of interest on tax‐exempt obligations such as the Bonds, are in many cases required to be reported to
the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Additionally, backup withholding may apply to any such payments
made to any owner who is not an ”exempt recipient” and who fails to provide certain identifying information.
Individuals generally are not exempt recipients, whereas corporations and certain other entities generally are
exempt recipients.
Bond Counsel’s opinion is not a guarantee of result and is not binding on the IRS; rather, the opinion
represents Bond Counsel’s legal judgment based on its review of existing law and in reliance on the
representations made to Bond Counsel and the City’s compliance with its covenants. The IRS has established
an ongoing program to audit tax‐exempt obligations to determine whether interest on such obligations is
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel cannot predict whether the IRS will
commence an audit of the Bonds. Owners of the Bonds are advised that, if the IRS does audit the Bonds,
under current IRS procedures, at least during the early stages of an audit, the IRS will treat the City as the
taxpayer, and the owners of the Bonds may have limited rights to participate in the audit. The commencement
of an audit could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the Bonds until the audit is concluded,
regardless of the ultimate outcome.
Qualified Tax‐Exempt Obligations
The City has designated the Bonds as “qualified tax‐exempt obligations” within the meaning of
Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code.
28
Premium
An amount equal to the excess of the purchase price of a Bond over its stated redemption price at maturity
constitutes premium on that Bond. A purchaser of a Bond must amortize any premium over that Bond’s term
using constant yield principles, based on the Bond’s yield to maturity. As premium is amortized, the
purchaser’s basis in the Bond and the amount of tax‐exempt interest received will be reduced by the amount of
amortizable premium properly allocable to the purchaser. This will result in an increase in the gain (or
decrease in the loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes on sale or disposition of the Bond prior
to its maturity. Even though the purchaser’s basis is reduced, no federal income tax deduction is allowed.
Purchasers of Bonds at a premium, whether at the time of initial issuance or subsequent thereto, should
consult their tax advisors with respect to the determination and treatment of premium for federal income tax
purposes and the state and local tax consequences of owning such Bonds.
Original Issue Discount
The initial public offering price of certain Bonds (the ʺOriginal Issue Discount Bondsʺ), is less than the stated
redemption price at maturity. In such case, the difference between (i) the stated amount payable at the
maturity of an Original Issue Discount Bond and (ii) the initial public offering price of that Original Issue
Discount Bond constitutes original issue discount with respect to that Original Issue Discount Bond in the
hands of the owner who purchased that Original Issue Discount Bond at the initial public offering price in the
initial public offering of the Bonds. The initial owner is entitled to exclude from gross income (as defined in
Section 61 of the Code) an amount of income with respect to an Original Issue Discount Bond equal to that
portion of the amount of the original issue discount allocable to the period that such Original Issue Discount
Bond continues to be owned by the initial owner.
In the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition of an Original Issue Discount Bond prior to its
stated maturity, however, the amount realized by the initial owner in excess of the basis of the Original Issue
Discount Bond in the hands of its initial owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount
allocable to the period for which such Bond was held by the initial owner) is includable in gross income.
Purchasers of Original Issue Discount Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the determination
and treatment of original issue discount for federal income tax purposes and the state and local tax
consequences of owning Original Issue Discount Bonds.
Rating
As noted on the cover page of this Official Statement, the City has received a rating for the Bonds from
Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of the McGraw‐Hill Companies, Inc. Standard & Poor’s has
assigned its rating of “AA” to the Bonds. The rating reflects only the views of the rating agency and an
explanation of the significance of the rating may be obtained from the rating agency. There is no assurance
that the rating will be retained for any given period of time or that the rating will not be revised downward or
withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward
revision or withdrawal of the rating will be likely to have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds.
Continuing Disclosure
In accordance with Section (b)(5) of Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) Rule 15c2‐12
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Rule”), the
City has agreed in the Ordinance for the benefit of the Bond Owners or Beneficial Owners of the Bonds (the
“Undertaking”) to provide or cause to be provided to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”),
the following annual financial information and operating data for the prior fiscal year (commencing in 2011 for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010): (i) annual financial statements, which statements may or may not be
audited, showing ending fund balances for the City’s general fund prepared in accordance with the Budgeting
Accounting and Reporting System prescribed by the Washington State Auditor pursuant to RCW 43.09.200 (or
any successor statute); (ii) the assessed valuation of taxable property in the City; (iii) ad valorem taxes due and
percentage of taxes collected; (iv) property tax levy rate per $1,000 of assessed valuation; and (v) outstanding
general obligation debt of the City. Items (ii) through (v) will be required only to the extent that such
information is not included in the annual financial statements.
29
The information and data described above will be provided on or before nine months after the end of the
City’s fiscal year. The City’s current fiscal year ends December 31. The City may adjust such fiscal year by
providing written notice of the change of fiscal year to the MSRB. In lieu of providing such annual financial
information and operating data, the City may cross‐reference to other documents available to the public on the
MSRB’s internet website.
If not provided as part of the annual financial information discussed above, the City will provide the City’s
audited annual financial statement prepared in accordance with the Budgeting Accounting and Reporting
System prescribed by the Washington State Auditor pursuant to RCW 43.09.200 (or any successor statute)
when and if available to the MSRB.
Material Events. The City agrees to provide or cause to be provided, in a timely manner, to the MSRB notice of
the occurrence of any of the following events with respect to the Bonds, if material:
(1) Principal and interest payment delinquencies;
(2) Non‐payment related defaults;
(3) Unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties;
(4) Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties;
(5) Substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform;
(6) Adverse tax opinions or events affecting the tax‐exempt status of the Bonds;
(7) Modifications to the rights of Bond owners;
(8) Bond calls (optional, contingent or unscheduled Bond calls other than scheduled sinking fund
redemptions for which notice is given pursuant to Exchange Act Release 34‐238560);
(9) Defeasances;
(10) Release, substitution or sale of property, securing repayment of the Bonds; and
(11) Rating changes.
Solely for purposes of disclosure, and not intending to modify this undertaking, the City advises that no debt
service reserves, credit enhancement or property secure payment of the Bonds.
Notification Upon Failure to Provide Financial Data. The City agrees to provide or cause to be provided, in a
timely manner, to the MSRB notice of its failure to provide the annual financial information described above
on or prior to the date set forth above.
Format for Filings with the MSRB. Until otherwise designated by the MSRB or the Commission, any information
or notices submitted to the MSRB in compliance with the Rule are to be submitted through the MSRB’s
Electronic Municipal Market Access system (“EMMA”), currently located at www.emma.msrb.org (such
website is not incorporated in this Official Statement by reference). All notices, financial information and
operating data required by this undertaking to be provided to the MSRB must be in an electronic format as
prescribed by the MSRB. All documents provided to the MSRB pursuant to this undertaking must be
accompanied by identifying information as prescribed by the MSRB.
Termination/Modification. The City’s obligations to provide notices of material events will terminate upon the
legal defeasance, prior redemption or payment in full of all of the Bonds. Any provision of this section will be
null and void if the City (1) obtains an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that the
portion of the Rule that requires that provision is invalid, has been repealed retroactively or otherwise does
not apply to the Bonds, and (2) notifies the MSRB of such opinion and the cancellation of this section.
The City may amend this section with an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel in accordance with
the Rule. In the event of any amendment of this section, the City will describe such amendment in the next
annual report, and will include a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment and its impact on the
type (or in the case of a change of accounting principles, on the presentation) of financial information or
operating data being presented by the City. In addition, if the amendment relates to the accounting principles
to be followed in preparing financial statements, (i) notice of such change will be given in the same manner as
30
for a material event under this undertaking and (ii) the annual report for the year in which the change is made
will present a comparison (in narrative form and also, if feasible, in quantitative form) between the financial
statements as prepared on the basis of the new accounting principles and those prepared on the basis of the
former accounting principles.
Bondowner’s Remedies Related to Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. A Bondowner’s or a Beneficial Owner’s
right to enforce the provisions related to continuing disclosure undertaking will be limited to a right to obtain
specific enforcement of the City’s obligations related thereto, and any failure by the City to comply with the
provisions of this undertaking will not be an event of default with respect to the Bonds under the Ordinance.
For purposes of this section, “Beneficial Owner” means any person who has the power, directly or indirectly,
to vote or consent with respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, any Bonds, including persons holding Bonds
through nominees or depositories.
Other Continuing Disclosure Undertakings of the City. The City has entered into undertakings to provide annual
information and the notice of the occurrence of certain events with respect to all bonds issued by the City and
is in compliance with all such undertakings.
Legal and Underwriting
Approval of Counsel
Legal matters incident to the authorization, issuance and sale of the Bonds by the City are subject to the
approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel attached hereto in Appendix A. The form of the opinion of Bond
Counsel is attached hereto. Bond Counsel will be compensated only upon the issuance and sale of the Bonds.
Bond Counsel has not been retained to review and has not reviewed this Official Statement for completeness
or accuracy and will not offer an opinion concerning this Official Statement.
Litigation
There is no controversy or litigation pending, or to the best knowledge of the City threatened, affecting the
issuance and delivery of the Bonds, or the power and authority of the City to issue the Bonds.
Limitations on Remedies
The enforceability of the Ordinance is subject to applicable bankruptcy laws, equitable principles affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, the police powers of the State and the City, the exercise of judicial
authority by state or federal courts and the exercise by the United States of the powers delegated to it by the
federal constitution. All legal opinions with respect to the enforceability of the Ordinance and the Bonds will
be expressly subject to a qualification that enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally, and by general principles of equity. The form of the opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to the
Bonds is attached as Appendix A. Prospective investors concerned with the impact of any bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws should consult with their
own independent counsel before purchasing any Bonds.
Potential Conflicts
Some or all of the fees of the Underwriter, the Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel are contingent upon the
sale of the Bonds. K&L Gates LLP is serving as Bond Counsel to the City with respect to the Bonds. From time
to time Bond Counsel may serve as counsel to the Underwriter and to the Financial Advisor with respect to
transactions other than the issuance of the Bonds.
Underwriting
The Bonds are being purchased by Seattle‐Northwest Securities Corporation (the “Underwriter”). The
purchase contract between the City and the Underwriter provides that the Underwriter will purchase all of the
Bonds, if any are purchased, at a price of 106.624 percent of the par value of the Bonds. The Bonds will be
reoffered at an average price of 107.188 percent of the par value of the Bonds. After the initial public offering,
the public offering prices may be varied from time to time without prior notice to any person.
31

May 11, 2010
City of Renton, Washington
Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation
Seattle, Washington
Re: City of Renton, Washington Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding
Bonds, 2010 — $6,170,000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as bond counsel to the City of Renton, Washington (the “City”), and
have examined a certified transcript of the proceedings taken in the matter of the issuance by
the City of its Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010 (the “Bonds”), dated
as of their date of initial delivery, in the aggregate principal amount of $6,170,000, issued for
the purpose of refunding certain outstanding limited tax general obligation bonds of the City
and paying costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds are issued pursuant to Ordinance
No. 5534 passed by the City Council of the City on April 5, 2010 (the “Bond Ordinance”).
Capitalized terms used in this opinion which are not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings given to such terms in the Bond Ordinance.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturities as provided in the
Bond Ordinance and in the Bond Purchase Agreement.
We have not been engaged nor have we undertaken to review the accuracy,
completeness or sufficiency of the official statement or other offering material related to the
Bonds (except to the extent, if any, stated in the official statement), and we express no
opinion relating thereto, or relating to the undertaking by the City to provide ongoing
disclosure pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12.
Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on representations
of the City in the Bond Ordinance and in the certified proceedings and on other certifications
of public officials and others furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by
independent investigation.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing law:
1. The Bonds have been legally issued and constitute valid and binding general
obligations of the City, except to the extent that the enforcement of the rights and remedies of
the holders and owners of the Bonds may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy,
City of Renton, Washington
Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation
May 11, 2010
Page 2
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial
discretion.
2. The Bond Ordinance is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the City, has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered and is enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial
discretion.
3. Both principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable out of annual levies of
ad valorem taxes to be made upon all of the taxable property within the City within and as
part of the tax levy permitted to the City without a vote of the electorate and in amounts
which, together with other available funds, will be sufficient to pay such principal and
interest as the same shall become due.
4. Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum
tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into
account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative
minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. The opinion set forth in the preceding
sentence is subject to the condition that the City comply with all requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that must be satisfied subsequent to the
issuance of the Bonds in order that the interest thereon be, and continue to be, excludable
from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City has covenanted to comply with
all applicable requirements. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants may cause
interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes
retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
The City has designated the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” within the
meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
Except as expressly stated above, we express no opinion regarding any other federal
or state income tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds.
Owners of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any
collateral tax consequences of owning the Bonds, which may include original issue discount,
original issue premium, purchase at a market discount or at a premium, taxation upon sale,
redemption or other disposition, and various withholding requirements.

Book‐Entry Transfer System

T H E D E P O S I T O R Y T R U S T C O M P A N Y
SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE
DESCRIBING BOOK‐ENTRY‐ONLY ISSUANCE
(Prepared by DTC‐‐bracketed material may apply only to certain issues)
1. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository
for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully‐registered securities registered in
the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC. One fully‐registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue
of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC.
[If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be
issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued
with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]
2. DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited‐purpose trust company
organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New
York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the
meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the
provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing
for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non‐U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and
money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”)
deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post‐trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and
other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book‐entry transfers
and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of
securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non‐U.S. securities brokers and dealers,
banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly‐owned
subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for
DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are
registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC
system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non‐U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks,
trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a
Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s
highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.
3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct
Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of
each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and
Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of
the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant
through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the
Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting
on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their
ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book‐entry system for the Securities is
discontinued.
4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC
are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their
registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial
ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect
only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or
may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for
keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take
certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the
Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents.
For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the
Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the
alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and
request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]
[6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are
being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct
Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]
7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with
respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures.
Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record
date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to
whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus
Proxy).
8. Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made
to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.
DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding
detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings
shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in
bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of
DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time
to ti me. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such
other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer
or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and
disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect
Participants.
[9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered,
through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by
causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to
[Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an
optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the
Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book‐entry credit of
tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]
10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at
any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a
successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
11. Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book‐entry‐only transfers through
DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and
delivered to DTC.
12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book‐entry system has been
obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.

July , 2009 Honorable Denis Law, Mayor Members of the Renton City Council Residents of Renton City of Renton, Washington RE: THE 2008 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Dear Mayor Law, City Councilmembers, and Residents of Renton: We are pleased to present the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2008. We publish this financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It has been audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by the Washington State Auditor’s Office. The report includes our own representations concerning the finances of the City of Renton. Consequently, we assume full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, we have established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City of Renton’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to maintain sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh the benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls is designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we attest that to the best of our knowledge and belief that this financial report is complete and reliable in all material aspects. These financial statements have been audited by the Washington State Auditor’s Office. The goal of this independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, are free of material misstatements. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in our financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Based upon the audit, the independent auditor concluded that there was a reasonable basis for issuing an unqualified opinion that the City of Renton’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The State Auditor’s report is included as the first component of the financial section of this report. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-2 The independent audit of the City of Renton’s financial statements is part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also the City’s internal controls and compliance to legal requirements with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal grant programs. The City’s Single Audit Report is issued separately and is available upon request or directly from the Washington State Auditor. Another State mandate requires the Washington State Auditor’s Office to perform additional tests of compliance with State laws and regulations as required by RCW 43.09.260. This statute requires the State Auditor to inquire as to whether the City complied with the laws and the Constitution of the State of Washington, its own ordinances and orders, and the requirements of the State Auditor’s Office. The City’s State compliance report is also available upon request and from the Washington State Auditor. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City’s MD&A can be found immediately following the independent auditor’s report. THE CITY OF RENTON AND ITS SERVICES The City of Renton was incorporated on September 6, 1901. Located at the south end of Lake Washington, our city borders the City of Seattle to the north. We currently have a land area of 22.24 square miles. We have over 1,181 acres of parks that includes 29 active parks. As presented by the Washington State Office of Financial Management, our 2008 population was 80,708. The City of Renton has a strong mayor form of government with an appointed Chief Administrative Officer. The Mayor is independently elected to a four-year term. The Mayor’s job is to manage and implement the policies established by the seven-member City Council. The Council establishes policies, appropriates monies through the budget process and adopts local laws through ordinances. Each Councilmember serves a four-year term and they are elected on a staggered two-year cycle. Both the Council and the Mayor are elected on a non-partisan basis. The City is a general-purpose governmental entity and provides the full range of municipal services allowed by statute or charter. These services include police, fire, emergency medical, street construction and maintenance, planning and zoning, libraries, parks and recreation, municipal court, and general administrative services. The City operates four utilities: water, sewer, surface water, and solid waste. These are operated very similar to a private business where the revenues from rates and other direct sources must pay for the operational, capital, and long-term debt costs. The City has its own water rights and does not purchase water from outside sources. The City’s sewage is treated by King County, but
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-3 the City is responsible for transferring and maintaining the system to King County. The City bills Renton residents a monthly fee for the cost of sewer treatment performed by King County. The City also operates a golf course. All costs of the Maplewood Golf Course are paid from green fees, driving range fees, revenue from the restaurant vendor, and other miscellaneous revenue. The golf course has short-term operational costs, an active capital maintenance program, and annual debt service payments for the construction of the clubhouse and the driving range. One operation the City has, which is somewhat unusual for cities our size, is its airport. The Renton Municipal Airport is used by small private plane operators, a floatplane tourist company, and Boeing initiates its maiden 737 flights from this airport. The operational costs of the airport are paid from rental fees. Much of the major capital projects are paid by fees or with Federal Aviation Administration grants. The City of Renton complies with the Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS) as delineated by the Office of the State Auditor as authorized under RCW 43.09.200 and 43.09.230. State law also mandates timely submission of annual financial reports to the State Auditor for annual independent audits. The City of Renton’s financial system incorporates financial and administrative controls to ensure the safeguarding of assets and reliability of financial reports. These controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management authorization and are recorded in conformity with GAAP. They also provide accountability of and control over assets and obligations, and sufficient reporting and review exist to provide adequate information for analysis and comparability of data. The City of Renton maintains budgetary controls to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual budget. All activities are appropriated through the annual budget process and published in the City’s Annual Budget document. The City Council must adopt an ordinance to increase or decrease total appropriations in a Fund. The Mayor has the authority to move appropriations within a Fund. A thorough discussion of the City’s accounting policies can be found under the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Financial Statements. FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL CONDITION The information presented in the financial statements is a perspective of past activities that influence the City’s financial condition. The following information is presented to place that information in context with the general economy. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-4 Economic Condition and Outlook In Mayor Denis Law’s 2009 State of the City’s address he highlighted: • “Total Renton employment is expected to decline about 3 percent this year. Housing permits have dropped from more than 1,300 units in 2007 to less than 450 units last year and are anticipated to continue to go down.” • “Pull-back in consumer and business spending in our region is expected to continue through this year, resulting in another cycle of falling taxable sales and sales tax collection for the City.” • “Within the first couple weeks of this year, it became very apparent that revenues were dropping at a rate higher than we could have foreseen, requiring that we prepare for deficits that may reach 8% or more this year. • “Despite the negative economy, Renton’s population, housing stock, and retail spending still outpaced comparable measures for King County and the region last year. New construction in the City has been between two and three times the regional average over the past three years. Employment growth for Renton between 2005 and 2008 outpaced that of King County by 4%. We continued to see increased numbers of jobs in wholesale, retail, and business services, and a diversification of our economy and employment base. The growth in Renton’s total taxable retail sales was among the highest in the region, at over 3% in 2008 when most cities were seeing declines. Renton’s assessed valuation has increased almost 100 percent over the last seven years, from $5.0 billion in 2001 to nearly $10 billion in 2008”. UPDATE FROM BUDGET DOCUMENT Outlook “The total 2009 proposed expenditure budget is $252 million, of which $171 million is for City operations, $57 million is for debt service and proposed capital projects, and $24 million represents internal transfers that are offset by revenues. This represents a 2% increase over the 2008 adopted budget. The total revenues equal $245 million. The difference between revenues and expenditures of about $7 million will be covered by prior year fund balances for capital equipment and projects. Of the $171 million operating budget, $101 million is for General Government Operations. These are activities primarily supported by tax revenues. With the slowing economy and a high rate of inflation, our preliminary projections indicate that maintaining current services in General Governmental Operations will result in a deficit of over $5 million in 2009.”
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-5 “The proposed budget also reflects cost increases for specific purposes. These include the cost of the Fire District 40 contract, an increase in equipment costs in the police operating budget, a full year’s cost for annexation-related personnel, and a proposed transfer of $1 million to fund capital projects. Funding for these increases will come from the Fire District 40 service contract, a full year of revenues from Annexation Sales Tax Credit, and continued growth in the share of our property taxes that comes from new construction. With these adjustments, we will be able to balance our operating budget with current operating revenues, and use prior year fund balances only for one-time capital purposes.” Source: 2009 Budget Message Letter by: Mayor Denis Law OTHER INFORMATION Cash Management The City has adopted an Investment Policy that states that the primary objectives of investment management, in priority order, are safety, liquidity, and return on investment. The Investment Policy reflects provisions in state statute and authorizes investments in obligations with: the US Government or its agencies; banker’s acceptances; certificates of deposit issued by public depositories in the State of Washington; the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool; and any other investment authorized by law for taxing districts in the State of Washington. The City has a Fire Pension Fund that is managed by an Oversight Board with members including Firefighters, the Mayor and one Councilmember. Their investment policies reflect the long-term obligations of investing these funds, which are invested primarily in US Treasury strips. In 2008, the independent actuarial study estimates a (negative) net pension obligation of ($1,082,280), and is included, as an asset in the City of Renton’s Government-wide Financial Statements. Risk Management The City belongs to the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). The WCIA is a consortium of Washington State cities that purchases excess coverage in large blocks, thus leveraging the market and risk across a large base. It has a professional staff, but operates with an Oversight Board comprised of City representatives. This Board meets monthly. In most cases, the City of Renton has a variety of insurance deductibles that range from $5,000 to a maximum of $350,000. The City maintains a self-insurance program for health and dental coverage for City employees and dependents. The City purchases excess medical coverage from Berkley Risk for cases that exceed $350,000. The City also purchases life and disability insurance from various healthcare insurance providers. Awards and Acknowledgements The City has a long history of superior achievements in the preparation of its Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports through the peer review program conducted by the Government Finance Officers Association. The dedicated staff of the Finance Division work hard each day to 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Introduction, 1-6 ensure that the City’s financial records always displays information in conformance with legal parameters. All members of the division are to be commended for their consistent dedication to excellence in local government finance. Significant contributors are specifically identified in the acknowledgements on page ii of this document. We are pleased with the comprehensive content and quality of this financial report knowing that the citizens of Renton can rely on this report as the definitive assessment of all City financial operations. Sincerely, Iwen Wang Linda M. Parks, CPA Finance & Information Services Administrator Fiscal Services Director

2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysis, 3-1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The City of Renton’s discussion and analysis provides a narrative overview of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The intent of the discussion and analysis is to review the City’s financial performance as a whole. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) combined with the Transmittal Letter, the Financial Statements, and the Notes to the Financial Statements represent the complete 2008 financial activities for the City of Renton. These are all intended to help the reader understand the City’s significant financial issues. This MD&A provides an overview of the City’s financial records. The data in this financial report also identifies any material deviations from the financial plan and the adopted annual budget. Finally, the intent of the MD&A and other financial information is to isolate and identify individual fund issues or concerns. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Since 2003, the City of Renton prepared its financial records in accordance to what is known as Government Accounting Standards Board Statement 34 (GASB 34) with a phase in of the infrastructure component in 2004. The City’s general Government-wide Financial Statements were prepared on the full accrual basis of accounting in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The City’s Fund Financial Statements for its major and non-major governmental funds were prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. The City’s major and non-major enterprise funds, internal service funds, and pension funds were accounted for on the accrual basis. The City of Renton, along with all cities, counties, and other governmental entities in Washington, must comply with the Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS) as defined by the Washington State Office of the Auditor (SAO). SAO audits the financial records of all cities and other governmental units within the State. The City of Renton’s financial system integrates financial and administrative controls that ensure the safeguarding of assets and the reliability of financial reports. These controls are designed to provide: 1. reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance to management understanding and approval; 2. reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance to GAAP principles; 3. accountability for control of assets and obligations; and 4. assurance that sufficient reporting and review exists to provide adequate information for analysis and comparability of data. Internal control is a high priority for the City. SAO reviews the City’s internal controls, and the City receives and takes action on all the recommendations made. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-2 The City maintains strong budgetary controls in order to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget as approved by the City Council. The City Council must authorize any budget increase or decrease to any fund. Financial Highlights • The City’s total assets as of December 31, 2008, exceeded liabilities by over $644.5 million. • As of December 31, 2008, the City’s Governmental Activities reported net assets of $420.7 million. Of this total, $34.2 million is defined as unrestricted and can be used for needs the Mayor and Council deem necessary. These monies are intended to provide a cushion against significant economic downturns in revenues and to maintain sufficient working capital and cash flow to meet daily financial needs. • Investments in capital assets comprise $353.2 million of the $420.7 million in Governmental Activities net assets. • The business type activities have total net assets of $223.9 million. Ninety (90.4%) percent of this total, $202.3 million, represents the City’s investments in capital assets. An unrestricted balance of $17.4 million remains and is used to meet day to day cash flow requirements and to ensure we can meet all obligations of the utilities and other funds if the revenues do not meet expectations. • The City’s total outstanding long-term debt as of December 31, 2008, was $101.5million. Of this amount, $50 million are revenue bonds and PWTF loans dedicated to the waterworks projects. Another $505,000 is for outstanding bonds for Senior Housing. These bonds have a special taxing authority. The Golf Course has $2.6 million outstanding in debt service. Employee leave balances total $6.49 million. The balance of $41.9 million of our debt is dedicated for general governmental purposes, including the purchase of City Hall, the construction of the downtown parking garage, and a replacement of a fire station (our share of a regional E-911), Communications Center, and other small projects, including municipal-bonds sold for fire equipment. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis provides an introduction and overview to the City of Renton’s basic financial statements. The basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1. Government-wide Financial Statements; 2. Fund Financial Statements; and 3. Notes to the Financial Statements. The graphic representation below illustrates the required components of the City’s annual financial report and how the required parts are arranged and relate to one another. This illustration helps explain the City’s financial presentation in 2008. This graphic representation should be used in conjunction with the following explanations to help guide the reader in understanding the financial condition of the City of Renton.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysis, 3-3 Figure 1 REQUIRED COMPONENTS OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT In addition to the required components shown in Figure 1, the City’s annual report also includes other voluntary supplementary information. The most significant section is the Combining Statements. These provide Balance Sheets, Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances with Budget to Actual comparisons, Statement of Net Assets, and Cash Flows for all Non-Major Funds. The next section of information, the Statistical Section, provides a ten-year view of the City’s Revenue, Expenditures, Debt Obligations, and Debt Capacity; the City’s largest taxpayers, and those entities with the largest employment within the City of Renton. This section provides a long-term perspective on the City’s economy. BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Government-wide Financial Statements provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Renton’s finances in a manner similar to a private sector business. They provide both short-term and long-term information about the City’s overall financial status. The government-wide statements distinguish between functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (referred to as “governmental activities”) from functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (referred to as “business-type activities.”) The governmental activities of the City include a full range of local government services provided to the public such as police and fire protection; road maintenance and construction; community planning and economic development; libraries, parks, and recreational opportunities; and other community services. The business-type activities of the City include waterworks (water, sewer, and surface water), solid waste management and services, golf course, and airport. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-4 The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities with the difference between the two reported as net assets. This statement combines and consolidates governmental funds’ current financial resources (short term available resources) with capital assets and long-term obligations, which is primarily debt. The Statement of Net Assets serves a purpose similar to that of the Balance Sheet of a private-sector business. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as one indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. Other indicators to consider when evaluating the financial position of the City includes changes to the property tax base, general economic conditions as demonstrated through business licenses fees or sales tax revenue, and the condition of the City’s infrastructure (roads, drainage systems, bridges, and water infrastructure). The Statement of Activities focuses upon both the gross and net cost of various activities that are provided by the government’s general tax and other revenues. This is intended to summarize and simplify the user’s analysis of cost to various governmental services and/or subsidy to various business-type activities. By separating program revenue from general revenue, users of the financial statements can identify the extent to which each program relies on taxes for funding. The Governmental Activities reflect the City’s basic functions: General Government, Judicial, Security of Person and Property, Physical Environment, Mental and Physical Health, and Culture and Recreation. Property, sales, and utility taxes finance the majority of these functions. All changes in net assets are reported using accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used in the private sector. The accrual basis of accounting requires that revenues are reported when earned and expenses are reported when incurred, no matter when the revenue will actually be received or the obligation will be paid. For example, property taxes are shown as a receivable and revenue even though some amount of these taxes will not be available to the City for several years. All unpaid vendor obligations are illustrated as an accounts payable obligation as of December 31. Fund Financial Statements The City uses funds to ensure and demonstrate fiscal integrity and compliance with finance related legal requirements with a focus on Major Funds. A fund is a group of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities and objectives. There are three types of funds: governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary. A Major Fund has three elements as defined by GASB 34: • Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures of that individual governmental or enterprise funds are at least ten percent (10%) of the corresponding total (assets, liabilities, etc.) for all funds of that category or type (i.e., governmental, proprietary, or fiduciary); and • Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual government fund or enterprise funds are at least five percent (5%) of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined; or • Any other governmental or enterprise fund that the government’s officials believe is particularly important.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysis, 3-5 Governmental Funds present most of a government’s tax-supported activities. The Proprietary Funds describe and financially manage the government’s business-type activities where all or part of the activities’ costs are supported by fees and charges that are paid directly by those who benefit from the activities. Fiduciary Funds control resources held by the government as a trustee or agent for parties outside of the government. The resources of Fiduciary Funds cannot be used to support the government’s own programs. Governmental Funds The Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances present separate columns of financial data for the General Fund and Capital Investment Fund. These comprise the City’s major governmental funds. Data from the remaining governmental funds are combined and presented in a single, aggregated column in the fund statements. Individual fund data for each of the non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements. Governmental Funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. The focus of Governmental Fund Financial Statements is on near-term inflows and outflows of available financial resources and on balances of resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information is useful in evaluating whether there are more or less financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance City services. Because the focus of governmental Fund Financial Statements is a narrower view than that of the Government-wide Financial Statements, it is useful to compare information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. This gives the reader a better understanding of the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. The Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances provide reconciliation to the governmental activities column in the government-wide statements to facilitate this comparison. The City maintains budgetary controls over its governmental funds. Budgetary controls ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget. Governmental fund budgets are established in accordance with state law and are adopted on a fund level. General fund budget variances are specifically addressed later in this discussion and analysis. Proprietary Funds These types of funds consist of two types of funds: Enterprise and Internal Service. They have always been operated as private business activity. Enterprise Funds are used to report the same functions as business-type activities in the Government-wide Financial Statements. Internal Service Funds are used to report activities that provide supplies and services to various City departments and to accumulate and allocate the associated costs of providing these services to the various functions. The revenues and expenses of Internal Service Funds that are duplicated in other funds are eliminated in the government-wide statements. Because the remaining balances primarily benefit governmental, rather than business-type activities, they have been included within Governmental Activities in the Government-wide Statements. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-6 The City of Renton has two major proprietary funds: Waterworks Utility (water, wastewater, and stormwater) and Solid Waste. The Proprietary Fund Balance Sheet and the Proprietary Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Equity present separate columns of financial data for the Waterworks Utility and Solid Waste. Data from the remaining Enterprise Funds are combined and presented in a single, aggregated column in the fund statements. Governmental Activities Internal Service Funds are reported separately in this section. Proprietary Fund statements provide the same type of information as the Government-wide Financial Statements, only in more detail, since both apply the accrual basis of accounting. In comparing the total assets and total liabilities between the two statements, only slight differences will be noticed. One notable difference is that the “due from other funds” (asset) and the “due to other funds” (liability) in the proprietary fund statements are combined in a single line called “internal balances” in the asset section of the Government-wide Statement of Net Assets. Fiduciary Funds Fiduciary Funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reported in the Government-wide Financial Statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own operations. All of the City’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided, and are an integral part of the Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements. Combining statements for non-major Governmental and Enterprise Funds, as well as Internal Service Funds, are presented immediately following the required supplementary information on pensions. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Statement of Net Assets Changes in Net Assets may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position.

The City’s capital assets are used to provide services to citizens. It should be noted that although the investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. Investments in capital assets net of related debt increased from 2007 to 2008 by $134.3 million. Investment in capital assets increased by $120.5 million in the Governmental Funds and $13.7 million in the Business-type activities primarily due to annexations. The largest was Benson Hill adding over 16,000 new residents. This annexation is further discussed in Note 1 and 12 of the financials.

The remaining balance (unrestricted net assets) of $51.6 million may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations. Chart 1 provides a graphical comparison of the three categories of net assets for 2007 and 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the City reports positive balances in all three categories of net assets, for the government as a whole, as well as for separate governmental and business-type activities. Statement of Change in Net Assets The City’s total net assets (before prior period adjustments and changes in accounting principles) increased in 2007 by $22.5 million. Governmental activities generated eighty percent (80%) of this total or $17.9 million, while business-type activities generated $4.6 million of this total. Chart 2 below illustrates the various sources and amounts of revenue received by the government as a whole. Table 2 follows the chart.

Governmental Activities Analysis Governmental activities cost a total of $103.9 million in 2008, up $1.9 million from 2007. Of this amount, $45.3 million was paid for either by those who directly benefited from the programs or by other governments and organizations that subsidized certain programs with grants Chart 3 2008 COMPARISON OF TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL vs BUSINESS TYPE EXPENSESGovernmental Activities68%Business Type Activities32%2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-10 and contribution.

Chart 7 BUSINESS TYPE ACTIVITIES REVENUES BY SOURCESCharges for Services85%Grants13%Interest & Miscellaneous2%FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS Governmental Funds Analysis The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $47.8 million, a decrease of $2.7 million in comparison to last year. Approximately ten percent (10%) constitutes unreserved, undesignated fund balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is reserved or designated to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed for operating reserves. The decrease resulted from higher actual expenditures (budgeted) over the previous year and shortfalls in actual revenues over projections due to the slowdown of economy. This is further discussed under the General Fund Budgetary Highlights in this document. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current year, unreserved, undesignated fund balance of the general fund was $4.9 million, while total fund balance ended at $13.5 million. The fund balance total decreased $3 million during the fiscal year. Excess of expenditures over revenues, excluding internal transfers was $2.4 million in 2008.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysis, 3-13 Besides the General Fund, the City has only one other major governmental fund. The Capital Improvement Fund was a new major fund in 2007 and had a net change (increase) in fund balance of $4.1 million. Even with this increase the City was able to spend $18 million on capital improvements and major maintenance. Proprietary Funds Analysis The fund financial statements for the proprietary funds are presented in more detail, but essentially provide the same type of information found in the business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. Net assets in the Waterworks Utility Fund and the Solid Waste Fund were $203.7 million and $1.4 million respectively. This represents an increase in Waterworks Utility Fund of $15.2 million and a decrease in the Solid Waste Fund of $959,861 in net assets. Of the total net assets increase in the Waterworks Utility Fund, $9.2 million was a prior period adjustment and is discussed further in Note 12 of the financial statements. In addition capital contributions were $5 million over last year. While the Solid Waste fund’s revenues have not changed from the prior year, the amount to operate the fund has increased resulting in a $1.3 million dollar operating loss. Other factors concerning the finances of these two funds have already been addressed in the discussion of business-type activities. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS During the year there was a $ 5,453,949 increase (excluding internal transfers) in appropriations between the original and final amended budget. This increase was mainly due to the Fire District #40 contract and Benson Hill annexation. The City however took aggressive action to reduce the level of spending in the General Fund to compensate for expected revenue shortfalls. The General Fund budget did not spend $5,304,891 (excluding internal transfers) of the legally appropriated expenditures. Even with this reduction the City had to use $2,965,287, including a $519,503 transfer out, of its prior years fund balance reducing the $16.5 million balance to $13.5 million. CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets The City of Renton’s investment in capital assets, including construction in progress, for its governmental and business-type activities as of December 31, 2008, amounts to $650.9 million as presented on the following table. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington Management’s Discussion and Analysi, 3-14 Table 3 CAPITAL ASSETS (Net of Accumulated Depreciation) Governmental Activities Business Type Activities Total Activities 1/1/2008 12/31/2008 1/1/2008 12/31/2008 1/1/2008 12/31/2008 Land $88,947,494 $175,559,920 $6,976,321 $6,976,321 $95,923,815 $182,536,241Construction in progress 41,893,039 29,912,497 5,699,288 10,014,741 47,592,327 39,927,238Buildings and structures 52,356,883 48,596,215 10,799,011 12,130,440 63,155,894 60,726,655Other improvements 78,576,142 127,068,177 206,963,989 223,715,208 285,540,131 350,783,385Machinery and equipment 12,228,057 16,129,966 879,046 765,590 13,107,103 16,895,556 $274,001,615 $397,266,775 $231,317,655 $253,602,300 $505,319,270 $650,869,075 General government infrastructure includes streets, bridges, overlays, and traffic controls.

Basic Financial Statements, 4-16 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The City of Renton was incorporated on September 6, 1901, and operates under the laws of the State of Washington applicable to a Non-Charter code city with a Mayor/Council form of government. A full-time Mayor and seven part-time Council members serve the City, all elected at large to four-year terms. The City provides the full range of municipal services authorized by state statues, together with a Municipal Airport, a Waterworks Utility, a Solid Waste Utility, and a Municipal Golf Course. The accounting and reporting policies of the City related to the funds included in the accompanying financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to state and local governments. GAAP for local governments include those principles prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), when applicable, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) pronouncements that have been made applicable by GASB Statements or Interpretations. In accordance with GASB Statement 20 the City has not applied to its enterprise activities FASB Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins of the Committee of Accounting Procedure issued after November 30, 1989. The City had implemented all applicable GASB Statements through Statement No. 53, with the exception of GASB Statement No. 51. The City is required to implement Statement No. 51: Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets by 2010. All other applicable statements were implemented prior to 2008. A. REPORTING ENTITY As required by GAAP the City’s financial statements present the City of Renton – the primary government. The City of Renton’s Mayor appoints the Governing Board for the Renton Housing Authority, which is not considered a component unit of the City. The City is under no obligation to subsidize, nor does it exercise any other prerequisite for inclusion. The City of Renton has no component units (either blended or discretely presented) included in these statements.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-17 During 2008 the City of Renton annexed several communities that were identified as Potential Annexation Areas (PAA). These annexations increased the City’s capital assets by $110,945,752. See Capital Assets and Depreciation (Note 5) for details. B. BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – GASB 34 PRESENTATION The City’s basic financial statements include both Government-wide (reporting the City as a whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the City’s major funds). Both the Government-wide and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either government or business-type. GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENTS In the Government-wide Statement of Net Assets, both the governmental and business-type activities columns (a) are presented on a consolidated basis by column, and (b) are reported on a full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognized all long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The City’s net assets are reported in three parts – investment in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted net assets; and unrestricted net assets. The City first utilizes restricted resources to finance qualifying activities. The Government-wide Statement of Activities reports both the gross and net cost of each of the City’s functions and business-type activities (general government, judicial, security of persons and property, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, mental and physical health, culture and recreation, waterworks utility, airport, solid waste utility, and golf course). General government revenues (property taxes, timber taxes, retail sales and use taxes, business taxes, excise taxes, and other taxes) also support the functions. The Statement of Activities reduces gross expenses (including depreciation) by related program revenues, operating and capital grants and contributions. Program revenues must be directly associated with the function or a business-type activity. Operating grants include operating specific and discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants column reflects capital specific grants. General revenues normally cover the net cost, by function or business-type activity. The Government-wide focus is more on the sustainability of the City as an entity and the change in the City’s net assets resulting from the current year’s activities. The City’s fiduciary funds are presented in the fund financial statements. Since the assets are being held for the benefit of a third party and cannot be used for obligations of the City, they are not included in the Government-wide statements. FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the fund financial statements, the financial transactions are recorded in individual funds, each accounted for by a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise assets, liabilities, reserves, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses. The presentation is by major funds in either the governmental or business-type categories. GASB Statement 34 sets forth the 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-18 minimum criteria for the determination of a major fund. The non-major funds are combined in the fund financial statements and are detailed in the combining section. The governmental major fund statements in the fund financial statement are presented on current financial resources and modified accrual basis of accounting. Since governmental fund statements are presented on a different measurement focus and basis of accounting than the Government-wide statements’ governmental column, reconciliation is presented at the end of the statement, which briefly explains the adjustments necessary to transform the fund statements into the Government-wide presentation. Internal service funds of a government are presented in summary form as part of the proprietary fund financial statements. Since the principal users of the internal services are the City’s governmental activities, financial statements for internal service funds are consolidated into the governmental column when presented at the governmental level. These services are reflected in the appropriate functional activity (general government, judicial, security of persons and property, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, mental and physical health, culture and recreation). Interfund fund activity has been eliminated from the Government-wide financial statements. Exceptions are payments in lieu of taxes, external type transactions within the internal service funds (revenue and expenses for interest or services provided to other governmental organizations), and other charges for utilities. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct cost and program revenues for these functions. The following describes each fund as presented in the fund financial statements. MAJOR FUNDS GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS GENERAL FUND The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. It is used to account for the resources and disbursements of ordinary City operations that are not required to be accounted for in another fund. These include the costs of legislative and executive departments, court services, finance and legal departments, development services, police and fire departments, human resources and technical services, community services, parks, economic development, streets, library and museum, parking garage maintenance, fire memorial, and fire department’s health and wellness programs. The major sources of revenue are property taxes, utility taxes, and sales taxes. Licenses and permits, charges for services, and fines and forfeits provide additional support. Community development block grant activities are accounted for within this fund, which is federally funded. CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND This fund supports the City of Renton transportation projects and projects linked with various State and Federal funding programs. Many of the projects depend on grants, LIDs, and mitigation revenue.

Basic Financial Statements, 4-19 ENTERPRISE FUNDS WATERWORKS UTILITY The Waterworks Utility Fund accounts for all operation and capital improvement programs for water, wastewater, and storm water services within the City. The activities primarily supported by user fees include: administration, billings and collections, debt service, engineering and operation, maintenance and repairs. The primary resources for the capital improvement programs are revenue bond proceeds, grants (as available), and utility collection charges. SOLID WASTE Solid waste, recycling, and yard waste collection services for the City are accounted for in this fund, supported entirely by service fees. The expenses include payment to the City’s garbage contractor and other service charges. NON-MAJOR FUNDS SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS ARTERIAL STREET FUND The Arterial Street Fund was established pursuant to state law allocating the one-half cent State Gasoline Tax revenue to cities and towns for construction, improvements, and major repair of streets. LEASED CITY PROPERTY FUND Accounts for revenue and expenditures related to City property leased to outside entities. HOTEL/MOTEL TAX FUND Accounts for monies collected through an increase of one percent in hotel/motel taxes for the purpose of increasing tourism in the City of Renton. PATHS AND TRAILS RESERVE FUND The Paths and Trails Reserve Fund was created for the purpose of planning, accommodating, and establishing and maintaining certain paths and trails within the City of Renton. SPRINGBROOK WETLANDS BANK FUND The City of Renton established this fund in 2007 for the purpose of providing accounting for the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank project.

Basic Financial Statements, 4-22 AGENCY FUND SPECIAL DEPOSIT FUND The Special Deposit Fund was established for the purpose of holding or retaining cash deposits or other securities pending fulfillment of certain conditions and/or requirements by the depositor. Refunds are made when all obligations have been met and only upon authorization from the transmitting department. C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Basis of Accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures/expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. It relates to the timing of the measurement made regardless of the measurement focus applied: 1. Accrual Both governmental and business-type activities in the Government-wide financial statements and the proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. Substantially all government fund revenues are accrued. Property taxes are billed and collected within the same period in which taxes are levied. Subsidies and grants to proprietary funds, which finance either capital or current operations, are reported as non-operating revenue based on GASB Statement 33. In applying GASB Statement 33 to grant revenues, the provider recognizes liabilities and expenses and the recipient recognizes receivables and revenue when the eligibility requirements, including time requirements, are met. Resources transmitted before the eligibility requirements are met, are reported as advances by the provider and deferred revenue by the recipient. 2. Modified Accrual The governmental funds financial statements are presented on the modified basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual: i.e., both measurable and available. “Available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City considers all revenue reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related liability is incurred. The exception to this general rule is that principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt, if any, is recognized when due. D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND FUND EQUITY 1. Cash and Cash Equivalents The City has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash on hand, demand deposits, and all highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with maturity of three months or less when purchased. These amounts are classified on the balance sheet or in the statement of net assets as cash and cash equivalents or investments in the various funds. The interest on these investments is prorated to the applicable funds. Included in this category are all funds invested in the Local
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-23 Government Investment Pool and Municipal Investor Account. Excluded from this category are cash balances held by Fiscal Agents since the City does not have discretionary use of these funds. 2. Investments (refer to Note 3B.) 3. Receivables and Payables – Amounts owed/payable to/by the City at year-end. Taxes receivable consists of property taxes and related interest and penalties (refer to Note 4). Accrued interest receivable consists of amounts earned on investments, notes, and contracts. Accrued interest payable consists of amounts owed on notes, loans, and contracts. Customer accounts receivable/payable consists of amounts owed from/to private individuals or organizations for goods and services. If the transactions are with another governmental unit, it is accounted for within “due from/to other governments.” Special assessments are recorded when levied and are liens against the property benefited. Special assessments receivable consist of current and delinquent assessments and related interest and penalties. Deferred assessments consist of special assessments not due within one year. Receivables have been reported net of estimated uncollectible accounts. Because property taxes, special assessments, and utility billings are considered liens on property, no estimated uncollectible amounts are established. Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the Government-wide financial statements as “internal balances” (Refer to Note 10). Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. In the Government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term liabilities are reported in applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Unamortized Premium is the unamortized portion of the excess of bonds proceeds over their face value (excluding accrued interest and issuance costs). Deferred Amount-Refunding is the difference between the carrying amount of redeemed/defeased debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the debt, or the life of the new debt, whichever is shorter. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-24 4. Inventories and prepaid items All City inventories are maintained on a consumption basis of accounting where items are purchased for inventory and charged to the budgetary accounts as the items are consumed. Any material inventories at year-end are included in the balance sheet of the appropriate fund. Inventories are carried at cost on the first in, first out – FIFO basis. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are reported as prepaid items in both the Government-wide and fund statements. 5. Capital Assets and Depreciation (refer to Note 5). 6. Deferred Revenues This account includes amounts recognized as receivables but not revenues in the governmental funds because the revenue recognition criterion has not been met. 7. Custodial Accounts This account reflects the liability for net monetary assets being held by the City in its agency capacity. 8. Compensated Absences The City accrues accumulated unpaid vacation and other leave and associated employee-related costs when earned (or estimated to be earned) by the employee. The non-current portion (the amount estimated to be used in subsequent fiscal years) for governmental funds is maintained separately and represents a reconciling item between the fund and Government-wide presentations. 9. Fund Balance Designations and Reservations In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. The City has the following reserved or designated fund balances.

PROCEDURES FOR ADOPTING THE ORIGINAL BUDGET The City of Renton’s budget procedures are mandated by the Chapter 35A.33 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The steps in the budget process are as follows: 1. Prior to November 1, the Mayor submits a proposed budget to the City Council. This budget is based on priorities established by the Council; estimates provided by the City departments during the preceding months; balanced by revenue estimates made by the Mayor. 2. The City Council conducts public hearings on the proposed budget in November and December. 3. The Council makes their adjustments to the proposed budget and adopts, by ordinance, a final balanced budget no later than December 31. 4. The final operating budget, as adopted, is published and distributed within the first four months of the following year. B. AMENDING THE BUDGET The budget, as adopted, constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. Budgets are adopted on the GAAP basis of accounting. Any comparisons between budget and actual revenues and expenditures are reported under the GAAP basis. The annual budget is adopted with budgetary control at the fund level, so expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at that level of detail. Transfers or revisions within funds are allowed, but only the City Council has the legal authority to increase or decrease a given fund’s annual budget. This is accomplished by City ordinance. The budget was amended twenty-seven times during 2008.

Rule 2a7 allows SEC-registered mutual funds to use amortized cost rather than market value to report net assets and compute share prices. Investments are shown on the entity-wide Statement of Net Assets at fair value or for 2a7-like pools at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments are reported within Cash and Investments of Governmental Activities and within Cash and Cash Equivalents or Investments of Business-type Activities. C.

Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counter party to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the City are conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis. Securities held by a third-party custodian are designated by the City’s Finance and Information Services Administrator. Certificates of Deposit are delivered to and held by the Finance Division. Concentration of credit risk. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer. The City diversifies its investment instruments to avoid incurring unreasonable risk inherent with the over-investment of instruments and issuers as follows: Maximum’s per Policy Instrument Maximum Issuer Maximum U.S. Treasuries 100% 100% U.S. Agencies 75% 50% Certificates of Deposit (within WPDPC) 50% 25% Local Governmental Investment Pool (LGIP) 50% 50% Commercial Paper 25% 5%

PROPERTY TAXES The King County Finance Director acts as an agent to collect property taxes levied in the county for all taxing authorities. Taxes are levied annually, January 1, on property value listed as of the prior August 31. Assessed values are established by the King County Assessor at 100 percent of fair market value. A revaluation of all property is required every two years; however, King County has the ability to revalue annually. Property taxes levied by the King County Assessor and collected by the King County Finance Director become a lien on the first day of the levy year and may be paid in two equal installments if the total amount exceeds $30. The first half of real property taxes is due on April 30 and the balance is due October 31. Delinquent taxes bear interest at the rate of 12 percent and are subject to additional penalties if not paid as scheduled. No allowance for uncollectible taxes is established because delinquent taxes are considered fully collectible. At year-end, property taxes are recorded as a receivable with the portion not expected to be collected within 60 days offset by deferred revenue. During the year, property tax revenues are recognized when cash is received. The tax rate for general City operations is limited to $3.375 per $1,000 of assessed value (RCW 84.52.043). Of this amount, up to .45 cents per thousand dollars may be designated for contribution to the Firemen’s Pension Fund. If a report by a qualified actuary on the condition of the Firemen’s Pension Fund establishes that this amount (or portion of) is not necessary to maintain the actuarial soundness of the fund, the amount can be used for any other municipal purpose (RCW 41.16.060). The tax rate limit may be reduced for any of the following reasons: 1. The Levy Limit: the levy limit calculation applies to a taxing district’s budget, and not to increases in the assessed value or tax bill of individual properties. Initiative 747 which restricted individual taxing districts from collecting, in any year, more than a one percent increase in their regular, non-voted, levy over the highest levy amount since 1985 was overturned by the courts. However during 2007, the state legislature reinstated this limit with the passage of HB2416. New construction, annexations, and excess levies approved by the 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement.

If the assessed valuation increases by more than one percent due to revaluation, the levy rate will be decreased. 2. The One Percent Constitution Limit: The Washington State Constitution limits the regular (non-voted) combined property tax rate applied to an individual’s property to one percent ($10 per $1,000) on the market valuation. Voters may approve special levies that are added to this figure. If the taxes of all districts exceed this amount, each is proportionately reduced until the total is at or below the one percent limit. 3. The City may voluntarily levy taxes below the legal limit. Special levies approved by the voters are not subject to the above limitations. There is currently no excess levy for General Obligation Bond debt. The City’s regular levy per the King County Assessor’s 2009 Annual Report is $2.36923. NOTE 5. CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION A. GENERAL POLICES Major expenditures for capital assets, including capital leases and major repairs that increase the useful life, are capitalized. The capitalization threshold applied to the City’s assets is $5,000. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are accounted for as expenditures or expenses when incurred. All capital assets are valued at historical cost (or estimated cost, where historical cost is not known/or estimated market value for donated assets/or the original historical cost when transferred between proprietary and governmental funds.) The City has acquired certain assets with funding provided by federal financial assistance programs. Depending on the terms of the agreements involved, the federal government could retain an interest in these assets. However, the City has sufficient legal interest to accomplish the purposes for which the assets were acquired, and has included such assets within the applicable statements. The City capitalizes art and historical treasures. Art and historical treasures are expected to be maintained or enhanced over time and thus, are not depreciated. B. GOVERNMENTAL CAPITAL ASSETS Governmental long-lived assets of the City purchased, leased, or constructed are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and are capitalized, net of depreciation, in the Government-wide statements. The infrastructure component of GASB 34 for assets acquired after January 1, 1980 was implemented retroactively in 2004. Any gain on the sale of capital assets is recorded in the Statement of Activities as General revenues, Miscellaneous.

PENSION PLANS With the exception of firefighters employed prior to March 1, 1970, substantially all City’s full-time and qualifying part-time employees participate in one of the following statewide retirement systems administered by the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems, under cost-sharing multiple-employer public employee defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans. The Department of Retirement Systems (DRS), a department within the primary government of the State of Washington, issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for each plan. The DRS CAFR may be obtained by writing to: Department of Retirement Systems, Communications Unit, P.O. Box 48380, Olympia, WA 98504-8380. The City is the administrator of the Firefighter Pension Plan for all firefighters employed prior to March 1, 1970. The Firefighter Pension Plan is included within the City of Renton’s statements as a pension trust fund. There is no separate GAAP-based audited report. A schedule of employer contributions for six years, prepared by Milliman, Consultants and Actuaries, is included in the Required Supplemental Information section. Additional information from the actuarial report prepared for the Firefighter Pension Plan, by Milliman, Consultants and Actuaries, may be obtained by contacting the City of Renton, Finance Division, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057. The following disclosures are made pursuant to GASB Statements No. 27, Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Government Employers and No. 50, Pension Disclosures, an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 25 and No. 27. Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) Plans 1, 2, and 3 Plan Description PERS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement system comprised of three separate plans for membership purposes: Plans 1 and 2 are defined benefit plans and Plan 3 is a defined benefit plan with a defined contribution component. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-36 Membership in the system includes: elected officials; state employees; employees of the Supreme, Appeals, and Superior courts (other than judges currently in a judicial retirement system); employees of legislative committees; community and technical colleges, college and university employees not participating in national higher education retirement programs; judges of district and municipal courts; and employees of local governments. PERS participants, who joined the PERS system by September 30, 1977, are Plan 1 members. Those who joined on or after October 1, 1977; and by either, February 28, 2002 for state and higher education employees, or August 31, 2002 for local government employees, are Plan 2 members unless they exercise an option to transfer their membership to Plan 3. PERS participants joining the system on or after March 1, 2002 for state and higher education employees, or September 1, 2002 for local government employees, have the irrevocable option of choosing membership in either PERS Plan 2 or PERS Plan 3. The option must be exercised within 90 days of employment. An employee is reported in Plan 2 until a choice is made. Employees who fail to choose within 90 days default to PERS Plan 3. Notwithstanding, PERS Plan 2 and Plan 3 members may opt out of plan membership if terminally ill, with less than five years to live. PERS defined benefit retirement benefits are financed from a combination of investment earnings and employer and employee contributions. PERS retirement benefit provisions are established in state statute and may be amended only by the State Legislature. PERS Plan 1 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible service. Plan 1 members are eligible for retirement at any age after 30 years of service, or at age 60 with five years of service, or at age 55 with 25 years of service. The annual benefit is two percent of the average final compensation (AFC) per year of service, capped at 60 percent. (The AFC is based on the greatest compensation during any 24 eligible consecutive compensation months.) Plan 1 members who retire from inactive status prior to the age of 65 may receive actuarially reduced benefits. The benefit is actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor option. A cost-of-living allowance (COLA) is granted at age 66 based on years of service credit times the COLA amount, increased by three percent annually. Plan 1 members may also elect to receive an additional COLA amount that provides an automatic annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index. To offset the cost of this annual adjustment, the benefit is reduced. PERS Plan 2 members are vested after completion of five years of eligible service. Plan 2 members may retire at age 65 with five years of service with an allowance of two percent of the AFC per year of service. (The AFC is based on the greatest compensation during any eligible consecutive 60-month period.) Plan 2 members who retire prior to the age of 65 receive reduced benefits. If retirement is at 55 or older with at least 30 years of service, a three percent per year reduction applies; otherwise an actuarial reduction will apply. The benefit is also actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor option. The benefit is also actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor option. There is no cap on years of service credit; and a cost-of-living allowance is granted (based on the Consumer Price Index), capped at three percent annually.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-37 Plan 3 has a dual benefit structure. Employer contributions finance a defined benefit component, and member contributions finance a defined contribution component. The defined benefit portion provides a benefit calculation at one percent of the AFC per year of service. (The AFC is based on the greatest compensation during any eligible consecutive 60-month period.) Effective June 7, 2006, Plan 3 members are vested in the defined benefit portion of their plan after ten years of service; or after five years if twelve months were earned after age 44; or after five service credit years earned in PERS 2 prior to June 1, 2003. Plan 3 members are immediately vested in the defined contribution portion of their plan. Vested Plan 3 members are eligible to retire with full benefits at age 65, or at age 55 with 10 years of service. Plan 3 members who retire prior to age 65 receive reduced benefits. If retirement is at age 55 or older with at least 30 years of service, a three percent per year reduction applies; otherwise an actuarial reduction will apply. The benefit is also actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor option. There is no cap on years of service credit; and Plan 3 provides the same cost-of-living allowance as Plan 2. The defined contribution portion can be distributed in accordance with an option selected by the member, either as a lump sum or pursuant to other options authorized by the Employee Retirement Benefits Board. Judicial Benefit Multiplier Beginning January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 judicial members of PERS were given the choice to participate in the Judicial Benefit Program (JBM). Justices and judges in PERS 1 and 2 may make a one-time irrevocable election to pay increased contributions that would fund a retirement benefit with a 3.5% multiplier. The benefit would be capped at 75% of AFC. Judges in PERS Plan 3 can elect a 1.6% of pay per year of service benefit, capped at 37.5% of average compensation. Members who choose to participate in JBM will accrue service credit at a higher multiplier beginning with the date of their election, be subject to the benefit cap of 75% of AFC, pay higher contributions, stop contributing to the Judicial Retirement Account (JRA), and be given the option to increase the multiplier on past judicial service. Members who do not choose to participate will: continue to accrue service credit at the regular multiplier; continue to participate in JRA, if applicable; never be a participant in the JBM Program; and continue to pay contributions at the regular PERS rate. Newly elected or appointed justices and judges who chose to become PERS members on or after January 1, 2007, or who have not previously opted into PERS membership, were required to participate in the JBM Program. Members required into the JBM program would: return to prior PERS Plan if membership had previously been established; be mandated into Plan 2 and not have a Plan 3 transfer choice, if a new PERS member; accrue the higher multiplier for all judicial service; not contribute to JRA; and not have the option to increase the multiplier for past judicial service. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-38 Membership in PERS consisted of the following as of the latest actuarial valuation date for the plans of June 30, 2007: Retirees and beneficiaries receiving benefits 71,244 Terminated plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 26,583 Active plan members vested 105,447 Active plan members non-vested 52,575 TOTAL 255,849 There are 2,310 participating employers in PERS as of June 30, 2008. Funding Policy Each biennium, the state Pension Funding Council adopts Plan 1 employer contribution rates, Plan 2 employer and employee contributions rates, and Plan 3 employer contribution rates. Employee contribution rates for Plan 1 are established by statute at 6 percent for state agencies and local government unit employees, and 7.5 percent for state government elected officials. The employer and employee contribution rates for Plan 2 and the employer contribution rate for Plan 3 are developed by the Office of the State Actuary to fully fund Plan 2 and the defined benefit portion of Plan 3. All employers are required to contribute at the level established by the Legislature. Under PERS 3, employer contributions finance the defined benefit portion of the plan, and member contributions finance the defined contribution portion. The Employee Retirement Benefits Board sets Plan 3 employee contribution rates. Six rate options are available ranging from 5 to 15 percent; two of the options are graduated rates dependent on the employee’s age. As a result of the implementation of the Judicial Benefit Multiplier Program in January 2007, a second tier of employer and employee rates was developed to fund, along with investment earnings, the increased retirement benefits of those justices and judges that participate in the program. The methods used to determine the contribution requirements are established under state statute in accordance with Chapters 41.40 and 41.45 RCW. The required contribution rates expressed as a percentage of current-year covered payroll, as of December 31, 2008, were as follows: Members not participating in JBM: Contributor PERS Plan 1 PERS Plan 2 PERS Plan 3 Employer* 8.31%** 8.31%** 8.31*** Employee 6.00%**** 5.45%**** ***** * The employer rates include the employer administrative expense fee currently at 0.16%. ** The employer rate for state elected officials is 12.39% for Plan 1 and 8.31% for Plan 2 & 3. *** Plan 3 defined benefit portion only. **** The employee rate for state elected officials in 7.5% for Plan 1 and 5.45% for Plan 2. ***** Variable from 5.0% minimum to 15.0% maximum based on rate selected by the PERS 3 member.

LEOFF participants who joined the system by September 30, 1977, are Plan 1 members. Those who joined on or after October 1, 1977, are Plan 2 members. Membership in the system includes all full-time, fully compensated; local law enforcement officers, firefighters and as of July 24, 2005, those emergency medical technicians who were given the option and chose LEOFF Plan 2 membership. LEOFF membership is comprised primarily of non-state employees, with the Department of Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers, who were first included prospectively effective July 27, 2003, being an exception. Effective July 1, 2003, the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board was established by Initiative 790 to provide governance of LEOFF Plan 2. The Board’s duties include adopting contribution rates and recommending policy changes to the Legislature for the LEOFF Plan 2 retirement plan. LEOFF defined benefits retirement benefits are financed from a combination of investment earnings, employer and employee contributions, and a special funding situation in which the state pays through state legislative appropriations. LEOFF retirement benefit provisions are established in state statute and may be amended by the State Legislature. LEOFF Plan 1 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible service. Plan 1 members are eligible for retirement with five years of service at the age of 50. The benefit per year of service calculated as a percent of final average salary (FAS) is as follows: Term of Service Percent of FinalAverage Salary 20 or more years 2.0% 10 but less than 20 years 1.5% 5 but less than 10 years 1.0% 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-40 The FAS is the basic monthly salary received at the time of retirement, provided a member has held the same position or rank for 12 months preceding the date of retirement. Otherwise, it is the average of the highest consecutive 24 months’ salary within the last ten years of service. A cost-of-living allowance is granted (indexed to the Consumer Price Index). LEOFF Plan 2 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible service. Plan 2 members may retire at the age of 50 with 20 years of service, or at age 53 with five years of service, with an allowance of two percent of the FAS per year of service. The FAS is based on the highest consecutive 60 months. Plan 2 members who prior to age 53 receive reduced benefits. Benefits are actuarially reduced for each year that the benefit commences prior to age 53 and to reflect the choice of a survivor option. If the member has at least 20 years of service credit and is age 50, the reduction is three percent for each year prior to age 53. There is no cap on years of service credit; and a cost-of-living allowance is granted (indexed to the Consumer Price Index), capped at three percent annually.

LEOFF Plan 2 employer and employees are required to pay at the level adopted by the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board. All employers are required to contribute at the level required by state law. The Legislature, by means of a special funding arrangement, appropriated money from the state General Fund to supplement the current service liability and fund the prior service cost of LEOFF Plan 2 in accordance with the requirements of the Pension Funding Council and the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board. However, this special funding situation is not mandated by the state constitution and this funding requirement could be returned to the employers by a change in statute. The required contribution rates expressed as a percentage of current-year covered payroll, as of December 31, 2008, were as follows: Contributor LEOFF Plan 1 LEOFF Plan 2 Employer* .16% 5.46%** Employee .00% 8.83% State N/A 3.53% * The employer rates include the employer administration expense fee currently at .16%. ** The employer rate for ports and universities is 8.99%.

Basic Financial Statements, 4-44 The Annual Required Contribution (ARC) was computed using the Entry Age Normal Cost Method. Under this method the projected benefits are allocated on a level basis as a percentage of salary over the earnings of each individual between entry age and assumed exit age. The amount allocated to each year is called the Normal Cost and the portion of the Actuarial Present Value of all benefits not provided for by future Normal Cost payments is called the Actuarial Accrued Liability. Since all members have already retired, the amount of the Normal Cost is zero. The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) is the Actuarial Accrued Liability minus the actuarial value of the Fund’s assets. The following Annual Pension Cost and Net Pension Obligation table presents the annual Normal Cost and the ARC as of January 1, 2009, assuming the UAAL is amortized over a closed 30-year period beginning January 1, 2000.

OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Plan Description As required by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 41.26, the City provides lifetime medical care for members of the Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters (LEOFF) retirement system hired before October 1, 1977 under a defined benefit healthcare plan administered by the City. The City is required to pay all healthcare expenses incurred by LEOFF 1 retirees. The City’s cost is reduced by any amounts retirees receive from Medicare or other health plans. LEOFF 1 retirees may request reimbursement for healthcare expenses that are not paid by their primary healthcare plan. The City pays the Medicare Part B premium. In addition, LEOFF 1 retirees are eligible for long term care, dental, and vision benefits and coverage continues throughout the lifetime of the retiree. Dependents do not receive LEOFF 1 postemployment healthcare benefits. Under the authorization of the LEOFF Disability Board, direct payment is made for other retiree medical expenses not covered by standard medical plan benefit provisions. Coverage continues throughout the lifetime of the retiree. Financial reporting for the LEOFF retiree healthcare plan is included in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Membership Membership in this program includes Plan 1 participants of LEOFF who joined the system by September 30, 1977. As of December 31, 2008, 103 retirees met those eligibility requirements. This is considered a closed group with no new members, with the exception of 3 active employees who have not retired. Funding Policy Funding for LEOFF retiree healthcare costs is provided entirely by the City as required by RCW. The City’s funding policy is based upon pay-as-you-go financing requirements. Retirees are not required to contribute any portion of the cost coverage. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-46 Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based upon the annual required contribution (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period of 30 years as of January 1, 2008. The following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City’s net OPEB.

The accrued liability for benefits was $32,327,794 and the actuarial value of the assets was $0 resulting in a UAAL of $32,327,794.
2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-47 Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation. Employer contributions are financed on a pay-as-you-go basis. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, expenditures of $1,266,192 were recognized for post-retirement health care. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents the results of the OPEB valuations as of December 31, 2008. In future years, the schedule of funding progress will provide multi-year trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial liabilities for benefits Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Nicolay Consulting prepared for the City an actuarial valuation report dated January 1, 2008. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The actuarial valuation report was prepared using the projected unit credit method. The projected unit credit method is an actuarial cost method under which the projected benefits of each individual included in an Actuarial Valuation are separately calculated and allocated to each year of service by a consistent formula. The actuarial assumptions used included a 4.00% discount rate, which is based upon the long-term investment yield on the investments that are expected to be used to finance payment of benefits. Additionally, the following health care trend rate assumptions were used: Expected Annual Increase in Health Care Cost Medical Medicare -Part B Nursing Home Dental and Vision Initial 8.50% 0.00% 4.00% 2.00% Ultimate 5.50% 5.50% 4.00% 2.00% The UAAL is being amortized based on a level dollar amortization over a closed 30 year-period at the assumed discount rate. The remaining amortization period at December 31, 2008 was 29 years. NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES Litigation The City has recorded in its financial statements all material liabilities, including an estimate for situations that are not yet resolved but where, based on available information, management believes it is probable that the City will have to make payment. In the opinion of management, the City’s insurance policies and/or self-insurance reserves are adequate to pay all known or pending claims. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-48 Contingencies under Grant Provisions The City participates in a number of federal and state assisted programs. These grants are subject to audit by the grantors of their representatives. Such audits could result in requests for reimbursement to grantor agencies for expenditures disallowed under the terms of the grants. The City’s management believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial. Bond Indentures The City is in compliance with all significant bond indenture and restrictions, with the following exception. Golf Course net revenues in 2007 and 2008 were severely impacted by inclement weather and general economic conditions, causing it to be temporarily out of compliance with the bond debt service coverage covenant of 125% of annual debt service at the end of 2007 and 2008. The City continues to review rates and the business plan and strategy that aims to adjust and maintain coverage. Construction Commitments Refer to Note 5. NOTE 9. RISK MANAGEMENT The City of Renton is exposed to various risks of loss related to tort; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City of Renton protects itself against unforeseen losses by utilizing a three-pronged risk management approach. First, the City self-funds first level losses through its Insurance Fund. Second, excess insurance is purchased to cover medium and large losses. Third, the City reserves the right to utilize the provisions of Chapter 35A.31.060 RCW to fund catastrophic or uninsured losses. This State statute allows cities to levy a non-voted property tax increase to pay for uninsured claims. An analysis of the self-insurance retention levels, limits of insurance, and claims administrator for the major types of coverage are as follows:

The City of Renton is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW (self-insurance regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal Cooperation Act), nine cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly self-insuring, and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has a total of 126 members. New members initially contract for a three-year term and thereafter automatically renew on an annual basis. A one-year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated. Termination does not relieve a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during membership. Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes general, automobile, police, public officials’ errors or omissions, stop gap, and employee benefits liability. Limits are $3 million per occurrence self insured layer, and $12 million per occurrence in the re-insured excess layer. The excess layer is insured by the purchase of reinsurance and 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-50 insurance and is subject to aggregate limits. Total limits are $15 million per occurrence subject to aggregate sublimits in the excess layers. The Board of Directors determines the limits and terms of coverage annually. Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler and machinery are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage. Property insurance and auto physical damage are self-funded from the members’ deductible to $500,000 for all perils other than flood and earthquake, and insured above that amount by the purchase of reinsurance. In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims and litigation administration, and loss analyses. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation consultants for personnel issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist services. WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis, as determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in the interlocal agreement, WCIA retains the right to additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall. An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment of WCIA’s assets in financial instruments, which comply with all State guidelines. These revenues directly offset portions of the membership’s annual assessment. A Board of Directors governs WCIA, which is comprised of one designated representative from each member. The Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day-to-day operations of WCIA. The City's Risk Management Program is administered by the Human Resources and Risk Management Administrator, with claims being processed by the independent claims administrators noted above. As of December 31, 2008, the City had accrued the following amounts for outstanding claims: Coverage Total Claims Payable 12/31/2008 Property & liability $591,502 Worker’s compensation 590,708 Employee health 1,722,915 TOTAL $2,904,675

NET ASSETS The Government-wide and business type fund financial statements utilize a net asset presentation. Net assets are the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets are categorized as investments in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted, and unrestricted. A. Investment in Capital Assets (net of related debt) is intended to reflect the portion of net assets that are associated with non-liquid, capital assets less outstanding capital asset related debt. The net related debt is the debt less the outstanding liquid assets and any associated unamortized costs. 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement. Basic Financial Statements, 4-54 B. Restricted assets are liquid assets (generated from revenues and not bond proceeds), which have third party (statutory, bond covenant, or granting agency) limitations on their use. The City would typically use restricted assets first, as appropriated opportunities arise, but reserve the right to selectively defer the use thereof to a future project or replacement equipment acquisition.

Re: US$6,100,000 City of Renton, Washington, Refunding Limited Tax General Obligation
Bonds, dated: Date of Delivery, due: December 1,2026
Dear Ms. Wang:
Pursuant to your request for a Standard & Poor's rating on the above-referenced obligations, we
have reviewed the information submitted to us and, subject to the enclosed Terms and Conditions,
have assigned a rating of "AA". Standard & Poor's views the outlook for this rating as stable. A
copy of the rationale supporting the rating is enclosed.
The rating is not investment, financial, or other advice and you should not and cannot rely upon
the rating as such. The rating is based on information supplied to us by you or by your agents but
does not represent an audit. We undertake no duty of due diligence or independent verification of
any information. The assignment of a rating does not create a fiduciary relationship between us
and you or between us and other recipients of the rating. We have not consented to and will not
consent to being named an "expert" under the applicable securities laws, including without
limitation, Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933. The rating is not a "market rating" nor is it a
recommendation to buy, hold, or sell the obligations.
This letter constitutes Standard & Poor's permission to you to disseminate the above-assigned
rating to interested parties. Standard & Poor's reserves the right to inform its own clients,
subscribers, and the public of the rating.
Standard & Poor's relies on the issuerlobligor and its counsel, accountants, and other experts for
the accuracy and completeness of the information submitted in connection with the rating. This
rating is based on financial information and documents we received prior to the issuance of this
letter. Standard & Poor's assumes that the documents you have provided to us are final. If any
subsequent changes were made in the final documents, you must notify us of such changes by
sending us the revised final documents with the changes clearly marked.
To maintain the rating, Standard & Poor's must receive all relevant financial information as soon
as such information is available. Placing us on a distribution list for this information would
facilitate the process. You must promptly notify us of all material changes in the financial

information and the documents. Standard & Poor's may change, suspend, withdraw, or place on
Creditwatch the rating as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, such information. Standard

meanings assigned to them in the preamble to this Agreement.
Section 1.3. Interpretations.
The titles and headings of the articles and sections of this Agreement have been inserted
for convenience and reference only and are not to be considered a part hereof and shall not in any
way modify or restrict the terms hereof. This Agreement and all of the terms and provisions
hereof shall be liberally construed to effectuate the purposes set forth herein and to achieve the
intended purpose of providing for the refunding of the Refunded Bonds in accordance with
applicable law.
Article 2. Deposit of Funds and Escrowed Securities
Section 2.1. Deposits in the Escrow Fund.
Concurrently with the sale and delivery of the Refunding Bonds the City shall deposit, or
cause to be deposited, with the Escrow Agent, for deposit in the Escrow Fund, the funds (from
the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds and a cash contribution by the City) sufficient to purchase
the Escrowed Securities and pay costs of issuance described in Exhibit D, and the Escrow Agent
shall, upon the receipt thereof, acknowledge such receipt to the City in writing.
Article 3. Creation and Operation of Escrow Fund
Section 3.1. Escrow Fund.
The Escrow Agent has created on its books a special trust fund and irrevocable escrow to
be known as the Refunding Account (the "Escrow Fund"). The Escrow Agent hereby agrees that
upon receipt thereof it will deposit to the credit of the Escrow Fund the funds and the Escrowed
Securities described in Exhibit D attached hereto. Such deposit, all proceeds therefrom, and all
cash balances from time to time on deposit therein (a) shall be the property of the Escrow Fund,
(b) shall be applied only in strict conformity with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and (c) are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the
Refunded Bonds, which payment shall be made by timely transfers of such amounts at such
times as are provided for in Section 3.2 hereof. When the final transfers have been made for the
payment of such principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds, any balance then remaining in
the Escrow Fund shall be transferred to the City, and the Escrow Agent shall thereupon be
discharged from any further duties hereunder.
Section 3.2. Payment of Principal and Interest.
The Escrow Agent is hereby irrevocably instructed to transfer to the Paying Agent from
the cash balances from time to time on deposit in the Escrow Fund, the amounts required to pay
the principal of the Refunded Bonds at their respective redemption dates and interest thereon to
such redemption dates in the amounts and at the times shown in Exhibit C attached hereto.
Section 3.3. Sufficiency of Escrow Fund.
The City represents that, based upon the information provided in the Verification Reporf
the successive receipts of the principal of and interest on the Escrowed Securities will assure that
the cash balance on deposit from time to time in the Escrow Fund will be at all times sufficient to
provide moneys for transfer to the Paying Agent at the times and in the amounts required to pay
the interest on the Refunded Bonds as such interest comes due and the principal of the Refunded
Bonds as the Refunded Bonds are paid on an optional redemption date prior to maturity, all as
more fully set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto. If, for any reason, at any time, the cash
balances on deposit or scheduled to be on deposit in the Escrow Fund shall be insufficient to
transfer the amounts required by the Paying Agent to make the payments set forth in Section 3.2.
hereof, the City shall timely deposit in the Escrow Fund, from any funds that are lawfully
available therefor, additional funds in the amounts required to make such payments. Notice of
any such insufficiency shall be given promptly as hereinafter provided, but the Escrow Agent
shall not in any manner be responsible for any insufficiency of funds in the Escrow Fund or the
City's failure to make additional deposits thereto.
Section 3.4. Trust Fund.
The Escrow Agent or its affiliate, shall hold at all times the Escrow Fund, the Escrowed
Securities and all other assets of the Escrow Fund, wholly segregated from all other funds and
securities on deposit with the Escrow Agent; it shall never allow the Escrowed Securities or any
other assets of the Escrow Fund to be commingled with any other funds or securities of the
Escrow Agent; and it shall hold and dispose of the assets of the Escrow Fund only as set forth

VERIFICATION OF ESCROW ACCOUNT CASH now SUFFICIENCY
The Undenvriter provided us with schedules (Appendix I) summarizing future escrow account
cash receipts and disbursements. These schedules indicate that there will be sufficient cash
available in the escrow account to pay the principal and interest on the Refunded Bonds
assuming the Refunded Bonds will be redeemed on December 1,2011 at 100 percent of par
plus accrued interest.
The attached Exhibit A (Schedule of Sources and Uses of Funds) was compiled based upon
information provided by the Underwriter.
As part of our engagement to recalculate the schedules attached as Appendix 1 we prepared
schedules attached hereto as Exhibits B through B-2 independently calculating future escrow
account cash receipts and disbursements and compared the information used in our
calculations to the information listed below contained in applicable pages of the following
documents:
Subscription confirmation, dated April 8,2010, and Schedule 0fU.S. Treasury
Securities provided by the Underwriter used to acquire certain United States Treasury
Securities : State and Local Government Series (the "SLGY) insofar as the SLGS are
described as to the principal amounts, interest rates, maturity dates, issuance date and
fust interest payment date; and
Official Statement and Ordinance for the Refunded Bonds provided by the
Underwriter insofar as the Refunded Bonds are described as to the maturity and
interest payment dates, primcipal amounts, interest rates and optional redemption date
and price.
In addition, we compared the interest rates €or each maturity of the SLGS, as shown on the
Schedule of U.S. Treasury, Securities, with the maximum allowable interest rates shown on the
Department of Treasury, Bureau of Public Debt, SLGS Table for use on April 8,2010 and
found that the interest rates were equal to the maximum allowable interest rates for each
maturity.
Our procedures, as summarized in Exhibits B through 0-2, prove the mathemalical accuracy of
the schedules provided by the Underwriter summarizing future escrow account cash receipts
and disbursements. The schedules provided by the Underwriter and those prepared by us
reflect that the anticipated receipts from the SLGS, together with an initial cash deposit of
$1.16 to be deposited into the escrow account on May 11,2010, will be sufficient to pay, when
dur, the ~rincipal and interest related to the Refunded Bonds assuming the Refunded Bonds
will be redeemed on December 1,2011 at 100 percent of par plus accrued interest.
VERIFICATION OF YIELDS
The Underwriter provided us with schedules (Appendix I) which indicate that tlle yield on the
cash receipts from the SLGS is less than the yield on the Bonds. These schedules were
prepared based on the assumed settlement date of May 11,2010 using a 360-day year with
interest compounded semi-annually. The term "yield", as used herein, mcans that yield which,
when used in computing the present value of all paymcnts of principal and interest to be paid
or received on an obligation produces an amount equal to, in the case of the cash receipts From
the SLGS, the purchase price, and in the case of the Bonds, the issue price. In addition, we
found that the schedules provided by the Undenvriter, which assume the redemption of the
December 1,2020 and December 1,2021 maturities identified on Exhibits C and C-1 at par on
June 1,2020 plus acc~ued interest, correctly treat those Bonds as yield-to-call Bonds as retired
on the respective dates that For each Bond produces the lowest yield for the issue that includes
the Bonds. Those Bonds identified as yield-to-call Bonds on the attached Exhibits C and C-1
are those Bonds that are subject to optional redemption and that are issued at an issue price
that exceeds the stated redemption price at maturity of such Bonds by more than one-fourth of
one percent lnultiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity of such Bonds
and the number of complete years to the f~st optional redemption date for the Bonds. We
found that there are no other yield-to-call Bonds other than those identified on the attached
Exhibits C and C-1.
As part of our engagement to recalculate the schedules attached as Appendix I we prepared
schedules attached hereto as Exhibits B-l and C independently calculating thc yields on (i) die
cash receipts from the SLGS calculated on Exhibit B-1, and (i) the Bonds using the Official
Statement provided by the Underwriter insofar as the Bonds arc described as to the maturity
and interest payment dates, dated date, principal amounts, interest rates, optional redemption
date and price, and issue price to the public. The results of our calculations, based on the
aforementioned assumptions, are summarized below:
Yield Exhibit
Yield on the cash receipts from the SLGS 0.732486% B-l
Yield on the Bonds 3.575057% 'C
Our procedures, as summarized in Exhibits B-1 and C, prove the mathematical accuracy of the
schedules provided by the Underwriter summarizing the yields. The schedules provided by the
Undenvriter and those prepared by us reflect that the yield on the cash receipts from the SLGS
is less than the yield on the Bonds.
We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an examination in accordance with Statements
on Standards for Attestation Engagements established by the American Institute of Certitied
Public Accountants, the objective of which would be the expression of an examination opinion
on the items referred to above. Accordingly we do not express such an opinion. Had we
'performed additional procedures, odler matters might have come to our attention that would
have been reported to you.

FEDERAL TAX CERTIFICATE
I, the undersigned officer of the City of Renton, Washington (the "City"), make this
certification for the benefit of all persons interested in the exclusion from gross income for
federal income tax purposes of the interest to be paid on the City's Limited Tax General
Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010 (the "Bonds"), which are being issued in the aggregate
principal amount of $6,170,000 and delivered simultaneously with the delivery of this certificate.
I do hereby certify as follows in good faith on the date of issue of the Bonds:
1. Resaonsible Officer. I am the duly chosen, qualified and acting officer of the City
for the office shown below my signature; as such, I am familiar with the facts herein certified
and I am duly authorized to execute and deliver this certificate on behalf of the City. I am the
officer of the City charged, along with other officers of the City, with responsibility for issuing
the Bonds.
2. Code and Regulations. The Bonds are subject to the provisions of sections 141,
148, 149 and 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the
Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations") promulgated under sections 141, 148, 149 and 150 of
the Code. These provisions of the Code and Regulations impose restrictions on the use of bond-
financed facilities and on the investment of bond proceeds. This certificate is being executed and
delivered pursuant to sections 1.141-1 through 1.141-15, 1.148-0 through 1.148-11, 1.149(b)-1,
1.149(d)-1, 1.149(g)-1, 1.150-1 and 1.150-2 of the Regulations.
3. Definitions. The capitalized terms used in this certificate (unless otherwise
defined) that are defined in Ordinance No. 5534, passed on April 5, 2010, authorizing the
issuance of the Bonds (the "Bond Ordinance") shall for all purposes hereof have the meanings
therein specified. All terms defined in the Code or Regulations shall for all purposes of this
certificate have the same meanings as given to those terms in the Code and Regulations unless
the context clearly requires otherwise.
4. Reasonable Exaectations. The facts and estimates that are set forth in this
certificate are accurate. The expectations that are set forth in this certificate are reasonable in
light of such facts and estimates. There are no other facts or estimates that would materially
change such expectations. The undersigned has to the extent necessary reviewed the
certifications set forth herein with other representatives of the City as to such accuracy and
reasonableness. The undersigned has also relied, to the extent appropriate, on representations set
forth in the certificate of Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation, the underwriter that has
purchased the Bonds (the "Underwriter"), attached hereto as Exhibit A, the representations set
forth in the certificate of Piper Jaffray & Co., the City's Financial Advisor (the "Financial
Advisor") attached hereto as Exhibit B, and the report of Grant Thomton LLP, certified public
accountants, dated May 11, 2010 (the "Report"). The undersigned is aware of no fact, estimate
or circumstance that would create any doubt regarding the accuracy or reasonableness of all or
any portion of such documents.
5. Descriation of Governmental Pumose. The City is issuing the Bonds pursuant to
the Bond Ordinance (a) to provide funds that will be used to advance refund and defease a
portion of the City's Limited Tax General Obligation and Refunding Bonds, 2001 (the "Prior
Bonds"), pursuant to an escrow agreement between the City and U.S. Bank National Association
(the "Escrow Agreement"), and (b) to pay the costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Prior Bonds
were issued to provide funds to (i) advance refund a portion of the City's Limited Tax General
Obligation Bonds, 1997B (the "1997B Bonds"), including the payment of costs of issuance of
the Prior Bonds allocable to the advance refunding of the 1997B Bonds (the "2001 Refunding
Project") and (ii) pay the costs of constructing and equipping a municipal parking garage (the
"2001 Capital Improvements"), including costs of issuance of the Prior Bonds allocable to the
2001 Capital Improvements (the "2001 New Money Project"). The Report details all relevant
aspects of the application of the proceeds of the Bonds and the City's program to refund the Prior
Bonds. Specifically, all of the Prior Bonds maturing on December 1, 2018, December 1, 2019
and December 1,2021 in the amount of $6,000,000.00 (the "Refunded Bonds") will be called for
redemption and retired with proceeds of the Bonds. The Refunded Bonds are being defeased in
order to achieve a present-value savings in the debt service payable by the City. December 1,
201 1 is the fust date on which the Refunded Bonds are subject to optional redemption and on
such date all of the Refunded Bonds will be called for redemption in advance of their scheduled
maturities and retired with proceeds of the Bonds. In accordance with a multipurpose issue
allocation of the Prior Bonds pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.148-9(h)(4)(v)(B), all of
the Refunded Bonds are allocable to the 2001 New Money Project and the Bonds are the first
advance refunding of the Refunded Bonds.
6. The Refunded Bonds.
(a) General. No portion of the purchase price of any of the Refunded Bonds
represents a loan made from the proceeds of another tax-exempt obligation. All of the original
and investment proceeds allocable to the Refunded Bonds have been expended. No portion of
the proceeds of the Refunded Bonds was used to pay the principal of, or interest on, any other
issue of governmental obligations. In addition, other than to the extent of preliminary
expenditures (i.., architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, reimbursement bond
issuance, and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction,
or rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs
incident to commencement of construction), no portion of the proceeds of the Refunded Bonds
was used to reimburse the City for any expenditures made by the City prior to the respective
issuance dates of the Refunded Bonds or 60 days prior to the date that the City adopted a
declaration of intent to reimburse itself fiom proceeds of the Refunded Bonds.
(b) Prior Bond Fund. The City has maintained a debt service fund for the Prior
Bonds (the "Prior Bond Fund") and has on hand in such Prior Bond Fund certain amounts that
were to be used for the payment of debt service on the Prior Bonds. The Prior Bond Fund will
be continued for the payment of debt service on the Prior Bonds that remain outstanding. The
City has created a new debt service fund (the "Bond Fund") under the Bond Ordinance for
purposes of the payment of debt service on the Bonds, as described in paragraph 16 below.
7. Use of Amounts Allocable to Refunded Bonds. Other than amounts described in
paragraph 6 above, there are no amounts on hand that represent proceeds of the Refunded Bonds,
replacement proceeds of the Refunded Bonds or accumulated earnings on such proceeds.
8. Expenditure of Proceeds of the Bonds. The sale proceeds from the issuance of the
Bonds will be $6,613,483.70. Such amount represents the stated redemption price at maturity
(excluding accrued interest for those Bonds the interest on which is paid at least once annually)
of the Bonds, equal to $6,170,000.00, plus a net original issue premium in the amount of
$443,483.70. No portion of the purchase price of any of the Bonds is provided by the issuance
of any other issue of obligations. The sale proceeds will be expended as follows:
(a) The amount of $6,542,769.00 will be deposited in the escrow fund established
pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Fund") and used on the date hereof to purchase
United States Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness and Notes, State and Local Government
Securities (the "Escrowed Securities"), the proceeds of which will be used as described in the
Report to pay the principal of, and interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Refunded
Bonds. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds is expected to be used to pay any interest on, or
principal of, any issue of governmental obligations other than the Bonds and the Refunded
Bonds.
(b) The amount of $34,798.80 will be allocated on the date of issuance of the Bonds
to the Underwriter's discount or compensation.
(c) The amount of $35,625.00 will be disbursed to pay other costs of issuance of the
Bonds (including any rating agency fees charged to the City).
(d) The amount of $289.74 represents a rounding amount and will be deposited in the
Bond Fund and used to pay debt service on the Bonds on the first interest payment date.
(e) The amount of $1.16 will be deposited as the initial cash balance in the Escrow
Fund and disbursed to pay debt service on the Refunded Bonds.
9. Pre-issuance Accrued Interest. The Bonds are dated as of the date of their initial
delivery to the Underwriter and the City will receive no pre-issuance accrued interest on the
Bonds.
10. Investment Proceeds. Except for earnings on the amounts described in
paragraphs 8(c), 8(d) and 8(e), all amounts received by the City, such as interest and dividends,
resulting Gom the investment of any original proceeds or investment proceeds of the Bonds will
be deposited in the Escrow Fund for the Refunded Bonds and used to pay the principal of, and
interest and redemption premium, if any, on, the Refunded Bonds. Earnings on the amounts
described in paragraphs 8(c), 8(d) and 8(e) will be used for one of the purposes described in such
paragraphs.
11. Transferred Proceeds. There are no transferred proceeds with respect to the
Bonds because all of the proceeds of Refunded Bonds have been or will be expended prior to the
fust dates on which amounts are disbursed from the Escrow Fund to pay principal of the
Refunded Bonds.
12. No Replacement Proceeds. Other than amounts described herein, there are no
amounts that have a sufficiently direct nexus to the Bonds or to the governmental purposes of the
Bonds, including the expected use of amounts to pay debt service on the Refunded Bonds, that
the amounts would have been used for such purpose if the proceeds of the Bonds were not used
or to be used for such purpose.
(a) No Sinking Funds. Other than to the extent described herein, there is no debt
service fund, redemption hnd, reserve fund, replacement fund, or similar fund reasonably
expected to be used directly or indirectly to pay principal or interest on the Bonds.
(b) No Pledged Funds. Other than amounts described herein, there is no amount that
is directly or indirectly, other than solely by reason of the mere availability or preliminary
earmarking, pledged to pay principal or interest on the Bonds, or to a guarantor of part or all of
the Bonds, such that such pledge provides reasonable assurance that such amount will be
available to pay principal or interest on the Bonds if the City encounters financial difficulty. For
purposes of this certification, an amount is treated as so pledged if it is held under an agreement
to maintain the amount at a particular level for the direct or indirect benefit of the holders or the
guarantor of the Bonds.
(c) No Other Replacement Proceeds. There are no other replacement proceeds
allocable to the Bonds because the City reasonably expects that the term of the Bonds will not be
longer than is reasonably necessary for the governmental purposes of the Bonds. Furthermore, if
the term of the Bonds is longer than is reasonably necessary for the governmental purposes of the
Bonds, the City does not reasonably expect to have available amounts during the portion of such
period that is longer than is reasonably necessary. The Bonds would be issued to achieve a debt
service savings independent of any arbitrage benefit as evidenced by the expectation that the
Bonds reasonably would have been issued if the interest on the Bonds were included in gross
income (assuming that the hypothetical taxable interest rate would be the same as the actual tax-
exempt interest rate).
(d) Weighted Average Maturity. The weighted average maturity of the Bonds, which
has been computed by the Underwriter as set forth on Exhibit A, does not exceed the remaining
weighted average maturity of the Refunded Bonds and the weighted average maturity of the
Refunded Bonds is not greater than 120 percent of the weighted average estimated economic life
of the 2001 New Money Project, determined in accordance with section 147(b) of the Code.
Such weighted average estimated economic life is determined in accordance with the following
assumptions: (a) the weighted average was determined by taking into account the respective
costs of each of the assets financed by the Refunded Bonds; (b) the reasonably expected
economic life of an asset was determined as of the later of the date hereof or the date on which
such asset is expected to be placed in service (i.e., available for use for the intended purposes of
such asset); (c) the economic lives used in making this determination are not greater than the
useful lives used for depreciation under section 167 of the Code prior to the enactment of the
current system of depreciation in effect under section 168 of the Code (i.e., the "mid-point
lives") under the asset depreciation range ("ADR) system of section 167(m) of the Code, as set
forth in Revenue Procedure 83-35, 1983-1 C.B. 745, where applicable, and the "guideline lives"
under Revenue Procedure 62-21, 1962-2 C.B. 418, in the case of structures; and (d) land or any
interest therein has not been taken into account in determining the average reasonably expected
economic life of such project, unless 25 percent or more of the net proceeds of any issue is to be
used to finance land.
13. No Excess Gross Proceeds. Except for the amount described in paragraph 8(d)
above and earnings on the amounts described in paragraphs 8(c) and 8(d) above, all gross
proceeds of the Bonds are allocable to:
(a) the payment of principal, interest or call premium on the Refunded Bonds as
described in paragraph 8(a) above;
@) the payment of costs of issuance of the Bonds as described in paragraph 8@) and
8(c) above;
(c) the payment of administrative costs allocable to repaying the Refunded Bonds,
carrying and repaying the Bonds or investments of Bond proceeds;
(d) transferred proceeds allocable to expenditures for the governmental purpose of the
Refunded Bonds as described in paragraph 7 above (if any); and
(e) replacement proceeds in a sinking fund for the Bonds.
Investment earnings on the amounts described in paragraphs 8(c) and 8(d) are expected to
be de minimis; therefore, the sum of the investment earnings on the amounts described in
paragraphs 8(c) and 8(d), the amount described in paragraph 8(d) will be less than one percent of
the original proceeds of the Bonds.
14. Yield on the Bonds. For the purposes of this certificate, the yield on the Bonds is
the discount rate that, when used in computing the present value as of the issue date of the
Bonds, of all unconditionally payable payments of principal, interest and fees for qualified
guarantees on the Bonds, produces an amount equal to the present value, using the same discount
rate, of the aggregate issue price of the Bonds as of the issue date. For purposes of determining
the yield on the Bonds, the issue price of the Bonds is the sum of the issue prices for each group
of substantially identical Bonds. For each group of substantially identical Bonds, the issue price
is the fust price at which a substantial amount (i.e., ten percent) is sold to the public (excluding
bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters
and wholesalers). Based upon the representations of the Underwriter set forth in Exhibit A
hereto, the issue price of the Bonds aggregated $6,613,483.70. No Underwriter's discount,
issuance costs, or costs of carrying or repaying the Bonds is taken into account for purposes of
computing the yield on the Bonds.
The yield on the Bonds calculated in this manner, as shown in the Report, is 3.575057
percent.
15. Temporarv Periods and Yield Restriction.
(a) Uninvested Amounts. The amounts described in paragraphs 8@) and 8(e) will not
be invested and, therefore, are not subject to yield restriction.
(b) Issuance Costs. It is expected that the amount described in paragraph 8(c) will be
disbursed within 13 months of the date hereof for costs of issuing the Bonds; therefore, such
amount will be invested for an allowable temporary period. To the extent any portion of the
amount described in paragraph 8(c) is not expended within 13 months, the City will take steps to
restrict the investment of such amounts to a yield which is not materially higher than the yield on
the Bonds.
(c) Rounding Amount. The amount described in paragraph 8(d) will be invested at a
yield that is not higher than the yield on the Bonds.
(d) Yield on the Escrowed Securities. The yield on the Escrowed Securities is
computed using the same compounding interval and financial conventions used to compute the
yield on the Bonds. The yield on the Escrowed Securities is the discount rate that, when used in
computing the present value as of the date the Escrowed Securities were first allocated to the
Bonds of all unconditionally payable receipts to be actually or constructively received from the
Escrowed Securities, produces an amount equal to the amounts to be actually or constructively
paid for the Escrowed Securities. The Escrowed Securities are all yield-restricted nonpurpose
investments that are a single class of investments and that are treated as a single investment
because all of the Escrowed Securities were purchased with Bond proceeds and held in a
refunding escrow as described in paragraph 8(a) above. Such purchase price is equal to the price
paid by the City to the United States for the Escrowed Securities. As shown in the Report, the
yield on the Escrowed Securities determined in this manner is 0.732486 percent, a yield that is
not higher than the yield on the Bonds.
The City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance to comply with, among other things, the
requirements of section 148(f) of the Code and, if required, the City will satisfy this requirement
with respect to earnings on the Escrowed Securities out of funds other than those in the Escrow
Fund.
Pursuant to section 1.148-9(g) of the Regulations, the City hereby elects to waive the
30-day temporary period available under section 1.148-9(d)(2)(i) of the Regulations:
16. Bond Fund. Pursuant to the Bond Ordinance, the City has created or continued,
as the case may be, the Bond Fund and the proceeds from all taxes levied, assessed and collected
for and on account of the Bonds are to be deposited in such Fund. The City expects that taxes
levied, assessed and collected for and on account of the Bonds will be sufficient each year to pay
such debt service. All amounts deposited in the Bond Fund which will be depleted at least once
each bond year, except for a reasonable carryover amount not in excess of the greater of the
earnings on such portion of the Bond Fund for the immediately preceding bond year or one-
twelfth of the principal and interest paymen@ on the Bonds for the immediately preceding bond
year. Therefore, all amounts therein may be invested at an unrestricted yield. Any amounts held
in the Bond Fund for longer than 13 months will be invested in obligations the yield on which is
not in excess of the yield on the Bonds.
17. Issue. There are no other obligations which (a) are sold at substantially the same
time as the Bonds (i.e., within 15 days), (b) are sold pursuant to the same plan of financing with
the Bonds, and (c) will be paid out of substantially the same source of funds as the Bonds.
18. Compliance With Rebate Reauirements. The City has covenanted in the Bond
Ordinance that it will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that rebatable
arbitrage earnings on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds, if any, within the
meaning of section 148(f) of the Code be rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the
City will (a) maintain records regarding the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds as
may be required to calculate such rebatable arbitrage earnings separately from records of
amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the City which are allocable to other bond issues
of the City or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any bonds of the City,
(b) calculate at such intervals as may be required by applicable Regulations, the amount of
rebatable arbitrage earnings, if any, earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the
Bonds and (c) pay, not less often than every fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the Bonds
and within 60 days following the fmal maturity of the Bonds, or on such other dates required or
permitted by applicable Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal
govemment. Further, the City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the
federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal
govemment by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of
the Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal
govemment because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if the arrangement had been at arm's-length and had the yield on the issue not been
relevant to either party.
The City hereby covenants to pay any rebate due on the Refunded Bonds within 60 days
after the date the Refunded Bonds are retired.
19. Not an Abusive Transaction.
(a) General. No action taken in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is or will
have the effect of (a) enabling the City to exploit, other than during an allowable temporary
period, the difference between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates to obtain a material financial
advantage (including as a result of an investment of any portion of the gross proceeds of the
Bonds over any period of time, notwithstanding that, in the aggregate, the gross proceeds of the
Bonds are not invested in higher yielding investments over the term of the Bonds), and
(b) overburdening the tax-exempt bond market by issuing more bonds, issuing bonds earlier, or
allowing bonds to remain outstanding longer than is otherwise reasonably necessary to
accomplish the governmental purposes of the Bonds, based on all the facts and circumstances.
Specifically, (i) the primary purpose of each transaction undertaken in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds is a bona fide governmental purpose; (ii) each action taken in connection
with the issuance of the Bonds would reasonably be taken to accomplish the governmental
purposes of the Bonds if the interest on the Bonds were not excludable from gross income for
federal income tax purposes (assuming the hypothetical taxable interest rate would be the same
as the actual tax-exempt interest rate on the Bonds); (iii) the proceeds of the Bonds will not
exceed by more than a minor portion the amount necessary to accomplish the governmental
purposes of the Bonds and will in fact not be substantially in excess of the amount of proceeds
allocated to expenditures for the governmental purposes of the Bonds.
(b) No Re-refunding. No portion of the Refunded Bonds has been refunded or
defeased other than by reason of the issuance of the Bonds.
(c) No Sinking Fund. No portion of the Bonds has a term that has been lengthened
primarily for the purpose of creating a sinking fund or similar hnd with respect to the Bonds and
thereby eliminating significant amounts of negative arbitrage in the Escrow Fund.
(d) No Noncallable Bonds. The Refunded Bonds do not include any noncallable
Prior Bonds.
(e) No Window Refunding. No portion of the Bonds has been structured with
maturity dates the primary purpose of which is to make available released revenues that will
enable the City to avoid transferred proceeds or to make available revenues that may be invested
to be ultimately used to pay debt service on another issue of obligations.
(f) No Sale of Conduit Loan. No portion of the gross proceeds of the Prior Bonds or
the Bonds has been or will be used to acquire, finance, or refinance any conduit loan to any
Party.
20. No Arbitrage. On the basis of the foregoing facts, estimates and circumstances, it
is expected that the gross proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause
any of the Bonds to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and
the Regulations. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, there are no other
facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change such expectations.
2 1. No Private Use, Payments or Loan Financing.
(a) General. The City reasonably expects, as of the date hereof, that no action or
event during the entire stated term of the Bonds will cause either the "private business tests" or
the "private loan financing test," as such terms are defined in the Regulations, to be met.
Specifically,
(i) Not more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used and no
portion of the proceeds of the Prior Bonds has been used in a trade or business of a
nongovernmental person. For purposes of determining use, the City will apply rules set forth in
applicable Regulations and Revenue Procedures promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service,
including, among others, the following rules: (A) any activity carried on by a person other than a
natural person or a state or local governmental unit will be treated as a trade or business of a
nongovernmental person; (B) the use of all or any portion of the 2001 New Money Project is
treated as the direct use of proceeds; (C) a nongovernmental person will be treated as a private
business user of proceeds of the Bonds or the Prior Bonds as a result of ownership, actual or
beneficial use of the proceeds pursuant to a lease, or a management or incentive payment
contract, or certain other arrangements such as a take-or-pay or other output-type contract; and
@) the private business use test is met if a nongovernmental person has special legal
entitlements to use directly or indirectly the 2001 New Money Project.
(ii) The City has not taken and will not take any deliberate action that would
cause or permit the use of any portion of the 2001 New Money Project to change such that such
portion will be deemed to be used in the trade or business of a nongovernmental person for so
long as any of the Bonds remains outstanding (or until an opinion of nationally recognized bond
counsel is received to the effect that such change in use will not adversely affect the
excludability from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest payable on the
Bonds). For this purpose any action within the control of the City is treated as a deliberate
action. A deliberate action occurs on the date the City enters into a binding contract with a
nongovernmental person for use of the 2001 New Money Project that is not subject to any
material contingencies.
(iii) All payments of the debt service on the Bonds will be paid from and
secured by a generally applicable tax. For this purpose, a generally applicable tax is a tax
(A) which is an enforced contribution exacted pursuant to legislative City in the exercise of the
taxing power that is imposed and collected for the purpose of raising revenue to be used for
governmental purposes and (B) which has a uniform tax rate that is applied to all persons of the
same classification in the appropriate jurisdiction using a generally applicable manner of
determination and collection. No portion of the payment of the debt service on the Bonds will be
directly or indirectly derived from payments (whether or not to the City or any related party) in
respect of property, or borrowed money, used or to be used for a private business use.
Furthermore, no portion of the payment of the debt service on the Bonds will be directly or
indirectly secured by any interest in property used or to be used for a private business use or
payments in respect of property used or to be used for a private business use.
(iv) No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be directly or indirectly used
to make or finance a loan to any person other than a state or local governmental unit.
(b) Dispositions of Personal Prouerty in the Ordinarv Course. The City does not
reasonably expect that it will sell or otherwise dispose of personal property components of the
2001 New Money Project refinanced with the Bonds other than in the ordinary course of an
established governmental program that satisfies the following requirements:
(i) The weighted average maturity of the portion of the Bonds refinancing
personal property is not greater than 120 percent of the reasonably expected actual use of such
personal property for governmental purposes;
(ii) The reasonably expected fair market value of such personal property on
the date of disposition will be not greater than 25 percent of its cost;
(iii) Such personal property will no longer be suitable for its governmental
purposes on the date of disposition; and
(iv) The City is required to deposit amounts received from such disposition in
a commingled fund with substantial tax or other governmental revenues and the City reasonably
expects to spend such amounts on governmental programs within 6 months from the date of
commingling.
(c) Other Agreements. The City will not enter into any agreement with any
nongovernmental person regarding the use of all or any portion of the 2001 New Money Project
during the stated term of the Bonds unless such agreement will not adversely affect the treatment
of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
22. Weighted Average Maturity. The weighted average maturity of the Bonds set
forth on Exhibit A attached to this certificate is the sum of the products of the issue price of each
group of identical Bonds and the number of years to maturity (determined separately for each
group of identical Bonds and taking into account mandatory redemptions), divided by the
aggregate sale proceeds of the Bonds.
23. Bonds are not Hedge Bonds. The City represents that not more than 50 percent of
the proceeds of the Refunded Bonds were a part was invested in nonpurpose investments (as
defined in section 148(f)(6)(A) of the Code) having a substantially guaranteed yield for four
years or more within the meaning of section 149(g)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the City
reasonably expected at the time the Refunded Bonds were issued that at least 85 percent of.the
spendable pioceeds of each such Bonds would be used to carry out the governmental purposes of
such issue within the corresponding three-year period beginning on the date of issue of the
Refunded Bonds.
24. Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The Bonds are not "federally guaranteed" and the
City will not cause or allow the bonds to become "federally guaranteed". Unless otherwise
excepted under section 149(b) of the Code, the Bonds will be considered federally guaranteed if:
(a) The payment of principal or interest with respect to the Bonds is guaranteed (in
whole or in part) by the United States (or any agency or instnunentality thereof);
(b) 5 percent or more of the proceeds of the Bonds are to be:
(i) used in making loans the payment of principal or interest with respect to
which are to be guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the United States (or any agency or
instrumentality thereof), or
(ii) invested (directly or indirectly) in federally insured deposits or accounts;
or
(c) The payment of principal or interest on the Bonds is otherwise indirectly
guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the United States (or an agency or instrumentality thereof).

EXHIBIT A
CERTIFICATE OF UNDERWRITER
Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation has acted as underwriter (the "Underwriter"), in
connection with the sale and delivery by the City of Renton, Washington (the "City") of Limited
Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of $6,170,000
(the "Bonds"). I, the undersigned, hereby certify as follows on behalf of the Underwriter:
1. I am the duly chosen, qualified and acting officer of the Underwriter for
the office shown below my signature; as such, I am familiar with the facts herein certified
and I am duly authorized to execute and deliver this certificate on behalf of the
Underwriter. 1 am the officer of the Underwriter charged, along with other officers of the
Underwriter, with responsibility for the Bonds.
2. The Underwriter has purchased the Bonds From the City pursuant to a
Bond Purchase Contract dated April 8, 2010, for an aggregate purchase price of
$6,578,684.90. The Underwriter has made a bona fide public offering to the public of all
of the Bonds of each maturity at the issue prices to the public set on the cover of the
Official Statement. The issue prices set forth in the Official Statement were determined
on the date the Bonds were purchased by the Underwriter based on the reasonable
expectations regarding the initial public offering prices. The issue price for each maturity
of the Bonds, as set forth in the Report, represents the first price (including original issue
premium and discount and accrued interest to the issue date only) of the Bonds at which a
substantial amount (at least 10 percent) of each such maturity was sold to the public. The
aggregate of such issue prices of all of the Bonds is $6,613,483.70. The initial public
offering prices described above do not exceed the fair market value for the Bonds on the
sale date. The term "public," as used herein, does not include bondhouses, brokers,
dealers, and similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or
wholesalers.
3. The Underwriter computed the weighted average maturity of the Bonds to
be 9.8603 years, as set forth in paragraph 23 of the Federal Tax Certificate to which this
certificate is attached.
4. The yield on the Bonds is not less than 3.575057 percent. For purposes of
this certificate, the term "yield" means that yield which is computed as described in
paragraph 14 of the Federal Tax Certificate. For this purpose, the present value on each
such mandatory redemption date is computed using the yield of only such group of
identical Bonds to their stated final maturity as the discount rate.
5. 1 have worked closely with representatives of the City in structuring the
financial terms of the Bonds and the refunding of the Refunded Bonds. The Underwriter
has also performed certain computations that are the subject of the Report. I hereby
confirm that, to the best of my knowledge, the schedules that are described in the Report
as provided by the Underwriter are true, accurate and complete. I further hereby
represent that to the best of my knowledge the statements set forth in paragraph 20 of the
Federal Tax Certificate to which this certificate is attached, are true.
The Underwriter hereby authorizes the City to rely on the statements made herein in
connection with making the representations set forth in the Federal Tax Certificate to which this
certificate is attached and in its efforts to comply with the conditions imposed by the Code on the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of their owners. The Underwriter
hereby authorizes K&L Gates LLP to rely on this certificate for purposes of its opinion regarding
the treatment of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning ascribed to
such terms in the Federal Tax Certificate to which this certificate is attached.

CERTIFICATE OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR
I, the undersigned officer of the Financial Advisor, make this certificate for the benefit of
all persons interested in the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the
interest on the Bonds. Each capitalized term used herein has the meaning specified for such term
in the Federal Tax Certificate to which this Exhibit B is attached (the "Federal Tax Certificate").
I hereby certify as follows as of the Issue Date:
1. I am the duly chosen, qualified and acting officer of the Financial Advisor for the
office shown below my signature; as such, I am familiar with the facts herein certified and I am
duly authorized to execute and deliver this certjficate on behalf of the Financial Advisor. I am
the officer of the Financial Advisor who has worked with representatives of the City in
structuring the financial terms of the Bonds.
2. I have worked closely with representatives of the City in structuring the financial
terms of the Bonds and the refunding of the Refunded Bonds. To the best of my knowledge,
which was acquired in the course of structuring the Bonds on behalf of the City, (i) the Bonds
were not structured to take advantage of the difference between tax exempt and taxable rates
except as identified in the Federal Tax Certificate with respect to permissible investments subject
to arbitrage rebate, and (ii) the Bonds were not issued earlier, in a greater amount, with reserves
or sinking funds larger, or with a maturity longer than was reasonably necessary to refinance the
2001 New Money Project.
The City may rely on the statements made herein in connection with making the
representations set forth in the Certificate and in its efforts to comply with the conditions
imposed by the Code on the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of their
owners. K&L Gates LLP also may rely on this certificate for purposes of its opinion regarding
the treatment of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes.

Re: City of Renton, Washington
Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010 - $6,170,000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are bond counsel to the City of Renton, Washington (the "City"), and have acted as
such in connection with the issuance and sale by the City of its Limited Tax General Obligation
Refunding Bonds, 2010, in the aggregate principal amount of $6,170,000 (the "Bonds"), issued
for the purpose of refunding certain outstanding bonds of the City (the "Refunded Bonds"). The
Bonds are issued pursuant to Ordinance No. 5534 passed by the City Council on April 5, 2010
(the "Bond Ordinance"). Capitalized terms used in this opinion which are not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Bond Ordinance.
A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used by U.S. Bank National Association
(the "Escrow Agent"), to acquire certain noncallable U. S. Government Obligations ("Escrowed
Securities"), described in the Escrow Deposit Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2010, between the
City and the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Agreement"), the proceeds of which shall mature in
amounts sufficient to pay to the date of maturity thereof all remaining outstanding principal and
interest on the Refunded Bonds. The sufficiency of such escrow and the Escrowed Securities
maintained pursuant to the Escrow Agreement has been veritied by Grant Thornton LLP. For
purposes of the opinions rendered herein, we have relied, without independent investigation, on
the verification set forth therein and on the performance under the terms of the Escrow
Agreement by the Escrow Agent, respectively.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Refunded Bonds have been
defeased and discharged in accordance with the ordinance authorizing their issuance, are deemed
paid and no longer outstanding and have no further claim of any kind or under any circumstances
to be paid from any funds or money of the City.
Very truly yours,

Re: City of Renton, Washington Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding
Bonds, 2010 - $6,170,000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as bond counsel to the City of Renton, Washington (the "City"), and
have examined a certified transcript of the proceedings taken in the matter of the issuance by
the City of its Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010 (the "Bonds"), dated
as of their date of initial delivery, in the aggregate principal amount of $6,170,000, issued for
the purpose of refunding certain outstanding limited tax general obligation bonds of the City
and paying costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds are issued pursuant to Ordinance
No. 5534 passed by the City Council of the City on April 5, 2010 (the "Bond Ordinance").
Capitalized terms used in this opinion which are not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings given to such terms in the Bond Ordinance.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturities as provided in the
Bond Ordinance and in the Bond Purchase Agreement.
We have not been engaged nor have we undertaken to review the accuracy,
completeness or sufficiency of the official stalement or other offering material related to the
Bonds (except to the extent, if any, stated in the official statement), and we express no
opinion relating thereto, or relating to the undertaking by the City to provide ongoing
disclosure pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15~2-12.
Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on representations
of the City in the Bond Ordinance and in the certified proceedings and on other certifications
of public officials and others furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by
independent investigation.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing law:
1. The Bonds have been legally issued and constitute valid and binding general
obligations of the City, except to the extent that the enforcement of the rights and remedies of
the holders and owners of the Bonds may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy,
City of Renton, Washington
Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation

Page 2
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial
discretion.
2. The Bond Ordinance is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the City, has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered and is enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial
discretion.
3. Both principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable out of annual levies of
ad valorem taxes to be made upon all of the taxable property within the City within and as
part of the tax levy permitted to the City without a vote of the electorate and in amounts
which, toiether with other available funds, will be sufficient to pay such principal and
interest as the same shall become due.
4. Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum
tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into
account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative
minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. The opinion set forth in the preceding
sentence is subject to the condition that the City comply with all requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that must be satisfied subsequent to the
issuance of the Bonds in order that the interest thereon be, and continue to be, excludable
from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City has covenanted to comply with
all applicable requirements. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants may cause
interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes
retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
The City has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the
meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
Except as expressly stated above, we express no opinion regarding any other federal
or state income tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds.
Owners of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any
collateral tax consequences of owning the Bonds, which may include original issue discount,
original issue premium, purchase at a market discount or at a premium, taxation upon sale,
redemption or other disposition, and various withholding requirements.

meanings assigned to them in the preamble to this Agreement.
Section 1.3. Interpretations.
The titles and headings of the articles and sections of this Agreement have been inserted
for convenience and reference only and are not to be considered a part hereof and shall not in any
way modify or restrict the terms hereof. This Agreement and all of the terms and provisions
hereof shall be liberally construed to effectuate the purposes set forth herein and to achieve the
-2- P:\20358 DG\2035E ONA
intended purpose of providing for the refunding of the Refunded Bonds in accordance with
applicable law.
Article 2. Deposit of Funds and Escrowed Securities
Section 2.1. Deposits in the Escrow Fund.
Concurrently with the sale and delivery of the Refunding Bonds the City shall deposit, or
cause to be deposited, with the Escrow Agent, for deposit in the Escrow Fund, the funds (from
the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds and a cash contribution by the City) sufficient to purchase
the Escrowed Securities and pay costs of issuance described in Exhibit D, and the Escrow Agent
shall,upon the receipt thereof, acknowledge such receipt to the City in writing.
Article 3. Creation and Operation of Escrow Fund
Section 3.1. Escrow Fund.
The Escrow Agent has created on its books a special trust fund and irrevocable escrow to
be known as the Refunding Account(the "Escrow Fund"). The Escrow Agent hereby agrees that
upon receipt thereof it will deposit to the credit of the Escrow Fund the funds and the Escrowed
Securities described in Exhibit D attached hereto. Such deposit, all proceeds therefrom, and all
cash balances from time to time on deposit therein (a) shall be the property of the Escrow Fund,
(b) shall be applied only in strict conformity with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and (c) are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the
Refunded Bonds, which payment shall be made by timely transfers of such amounts at such
times as are provided for in Section 3.2 hereof. When the final transfers have been made for the
payment of such principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds, any balance then remaining in
the Escrow Fund shall be transferred to the City, and the Escrow Agent shall thereupon be

Section 3.2. Payment of Principal and Interest.
The Escrow Agent is hereby irrevocably instructed to transfer to the Paying Agent from
the cash balances from time to time on deposit in the Escrow Fund, the amounts required to pay
the principal of the Refunded Bonds at their respective redemption dates and interest thereon to
such redemption dates in the amounts and at the times shown in Exhibit C attached hereto.
Section 3.3. Sufficiency of Escrow Fund.
The City represents that, based upon the information provided in the Verification Report,
the successive receipts of the principal of and interest on the Escrowed Securities will assure that
the cash balance on deposit from time to time in the Escrow Fund will be at all times sufficient to
provide moneys for transfer to the Paying Agent at the times and in the amounts required to pay
the interest on the Refunded Bonds as such interest comes due and the principal of the Refunded
Bonds as the Refunded Bonds are paid on an optional redemption date prior to maturity, all as
more fully set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto. If, for any reason, at any time, the cash
-3- P:12035E DG120356 ONA
balances on deposit or scheduled to be on deposit in the Escrow Fund shall be insufficient to
transfer the amounts required by the Paying Agent to make the payments set forth in Section 3.2.
hereof, the City shall timely deposit in the Escrow Fund, from any funds that are lawfully
available therefor, additional funds in the amounts required to make such payments. Notice of
any such insufficiency shall be given promptly as hereinafter provided, but the Escrow Agent
shall not in any manner be responsible for any insufficiency of funds in the Escrow Fund or the
City's failure to make additional deposits thereto.
Section 3.4. Trust Fund.
The Escrow Agent or its affiliate, shall hold at all times the Escrow Fund, the Escrowed
Securities and all other assets of the Escrow Fund, wholly segregated from all other funds and
securities on deposit with the Escrow Agent; it shall never allow the Escrowed'Securities or any
other assets of the Escrow Fund1 to be commingled with any other funds or securities of the
Escrow Agent; and it shall hold and dispose of the assets of the Escrow Fund only as set forth
herein. The Escrowed Securities and other assets of the Escrow Fund shall always be maintained
by the Escrow Agent as trust funds for the benefit of the owners of the Refunded Bonds; and a
special account thereof shall at all times be maintained on the books of the Escrow Agent. The
owners of the Refunded Bonds shall be entitled to the same preferred claim and first lien upon
the Escrowed Securities, the proceeds thereof, and all other assets of the Escrow Fund to which
they are entitled as owners of the Refunded Bonds. The amounts received by the Escrow Agent
under this Agreement shall not be considered as a banking deposit by the City, and the Escrow
Agent shall have no right to title with respect thereto except as a trustee and Escrow Agent under
the terms of this Agreement. The amounts received by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement
shall not be subject to warrants,j drafts or checks drawn by the City or, except to the extent
expressly herein provided, by the Paying Agent.
Article 4. Limitation on Investments
Section 4.1. Investments.
Except for the initial investment in the Escrowed Securities, and except as provided in
Section 4.2 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall not have any power or duty to invest or reinvest any
money held hereunder, or to make substitutions of the Escrowed Securities, or to sell,transfer, or
otherwise dispose of the Escrowed Securities.
Section 4.2. Substitution of Securities.
At the written request of the City, and upon compliance with the conditions hereinafter
stated, the Escrow Agent shall utilize cash balances in the Escrow Fund, or sell, transfer,
otherwise dispose of or request the redemption of the Escrowed Securities and apply the
proceeds therefrom to purchase Refunded Bonds or Government Obligations which do not
permit the redemption thereof at the option of the obligor. Any such transaction may be effected
by the Escrow Agent only if(a)the Escrow Agent shall have received a written opinion from a
firm of certified public accountants that such transaction will not cause the amount of money and
securities in the Escrow Fund to be reduced below an amount sufficient to provide for the full
-4- P:\20356 DG\20358 0NA
and timely payment of principal of and interest on all-of the remaining Refunded Bonds as they
become due, taking into account any optional redemption thereof exercised by the City in
connection with such transaction; and (b)the Escrow Agent shall have received the unqualified
written legal opinion of its bond counsel or tax counsel to the effect that such transaction will not
cause any of the Refunding Bonds or Refunded Bonds to be an "arbitrage bond" within the
meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Article 5. Application of Cash Balances
Section 5.1. In General.
Except as provided in Section 2.1, 3.2 and 4.2 hereof, no withdrawals, transfers or
reinvestment shall be made of cash balances in the Escrow Fund. Cash balances shall be held by
the Escrow Agent in United States currency as cash balances as shown on the books and records
of the Escrow Agent and, except as provided herein, shall not be reinvested by the Escrow
Agent; provided, however, a conversion to currency shall not be required (i) for so long as the
Escrow Agent's internal rate of return does not exceed 20%, or (ii) if the Escrow Agent's
internal rate of return exceeds 20%, the Escrow Agent receives a letter of instructions,
accompanied by the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, approving the assumed
reinvestment of such proceeds at such higher yield.
Article 6. Redemption of Refunded Bonds
Section 6.1. Call for Redemption.
The City hereby irrevocably calls the Refunded Bonds for redemption on their earliest
redemption dates, as shown in the Verification Report and on Appendix A attached hereto.

the Refunded Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Refunded Bonds and in substantially the forms
attached hereto as Appendices A and B attached hereto and as described on said Appendices A
and B to the Paying Agent for distribution as described therein. The notice of defeasance shall
be given immediately following the execution of this Agreement, and the notice of redemption
shall be given in accordance with the ordinance authorizing the Refunded Bonds. The Escrow
Agent hereby certifies that provision satisfactory and acceptable to the Escrow Agent has been
made for the giving of notice of redemption of the Refunded Bonds.
Article 7. Records and Reports
Section 7.1. Records.
The Escrow Agent will keep books of record and account in which complete and accurate
entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the receipts, disbursements, allocations and
application of the money and Escrowed Securities deposited to the Escrow Fund and all proceeds
-5- P:120358 DG120358 0NA
thereof, and such books shall be available for inspection during business hours and after
reasonable notice.
Section 7.2. Reports.
While this Agreement remains in effect, the Escrow Agent quarterly shall prepare and
send to the City a written report summarizing all transactions relating to the Escrow Fund during
the preceding financial quarter, including, without limitation, credits to the Escrow Fund as a
result of interest payments on or maturities of the Escrowed Securities and transfers from the
Escrow Fund for payments on the Refunded Bonds or otherwise, together with a detailed
statement of all Escrowed Securities and the cash balance on deposit in the Escrow Fund as of
the end of such period.
Article 8. Concerning the Paying Agents and Escrow Agent
Section 8.1. Representations.
The Escrow Agent hereby represents that it has all necessary power and authority to enter
into this Agreement and undertake the obligations and responsibilities imposed upon it herein,
and that it will carry out all of its obligations hereunder.

The liability of the Escrow Agent to transfer funds for the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Refunded Bonds shall be limited to the proceeds of the Escrowed Securities and
the cash balances from time to time on deposit in the Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding any
provision contained herein to the Contrary, the Escrow Agent shall have no liability whatsoever
for the insufficiency of funds from time to time in the Escrow Fund or any failure of the obligors
of the Escrowed Securities to make timely payment thereon, except for the obligation to notify
the City promptly of any such occurrence.
The recitals herein and hi the proceedings authorizing the Refunding Bonds shall be
taken as the statements of the City and shall not be considered as made by, or imposing any
obligation or liability upon,the Escrow Agent.

the Refunded Bonds and is not responsible for nor bound by any of the provisions thereof
(except to the extent that the Escrow Agent may be a place of payment and paying agent and/or a
paying agent/registrar therefor). In its capacity as Escrow Agent, it is agreed that the Escrow
Agent need look only to the terms.and provisions of this Agreement.
The Escrow Agent makes no representations as to the value, conditions or sufficiency of
the Escrow Fund, or any part thereof, or as to the title of the City thereto, or as to the security
afforded thereby or hereby, and the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability or responsibility in
respect to any of such matters.
-6- P.\20358 DG12035E ONA
It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Escrow Agent shall never be required to
use or advance its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder.
The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or neglected to be taken by it in
good faith in any exercise of reasonable care and believed by it to be within the discretion or
power conferred upon it by this Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible for the
consequences of any error of judgment; and the Escrow Agent shall not be answerable except for
its own neglect or willful misconduct, nor for any loss unless the same shall have been through
its negligence or bad faith.
Unless it is specifically otherwise provided herein, the Escrow Agent has no duty to
determine or inquire into the happening or occurrence of any event or contingency or the
performance or failure of performance of the City with respect to arrangements or contracts with
others, with the Escrow Agent's sole duty hereunder being to safeguard the Escrow Fund, to
dispose of and deliver the same in accordance with this Agreement. If, however, the Escrow
Agent is called upon by the terms of this Agreement to determine the occurrence of any event or
contingency, the Escrow Agent shall be obligated, in making such determination, only to
exercise reasonable care and diligence, and in event of error in making such determination the
Escrow Agent shall be liable only for its own willful misconduct or its negligence. In
determining the occurrence of any such event or contingency the Escrow Agent may request
from the City or any other person such reasonable additional evidence as the Escrow Agent in its
discretion may deem necessary to determine any fact relating to the occurrence of such event or
contingency, and in this connection may make inquiries of, and consult with, among others, the
City at any time.
Section 8.3. Compensation.

for the expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Escrow Agent in the administration of this
Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Fee Schedule attached hereto as Appendix C. The

Escrow Fund for any fees for its services, whether regular or extraordinary, as Escrow Agent, or
in any other capacity, or for reimbursement for any of its expenses as Escrow Agent or in any
other capacity.
Section 8.4. Successor Escrow Agents.
Any corporation, association or other entity into which the Escrow Agent may be
converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or otherwise
transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets and business or any corporation,
association or other entity resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or
other transfer to which it is a party, ipso facto, shall be and become successor escrow agent
hereunder, vested with all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of
any instrument or any further act on the part of the parties hereto, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary.
-7- P:\20358 DG120356 0NA
' I l
If at any time the Escrow Agent or its legal successor or successors should become
unable,through operation or law or otherwise,to act as escrow agent hereunder, or if its property
and affairs shall be taken under the control of any state or federal court or administrative body
because of insolvency or bankruptcy or for any other reason, a vacancy shall forthwith exist in
the office of Escrow Agent hereunder. In such event the City, by appropriate action, promptly
shall appoint an Escrow Agent to fill such vacancy. If no successor Escrow Agent shall have
been appointed by the City within 60 days, a successor may be appointed by the owners of a
majority in principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then outstanding by an instrument or
instruments in writing filed with the City, signed by such owners or by their duly authorized
attorneys-in-fact. If, in a proper case, no appointment of a successor Escrow Agent shall be
made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this section within three months after a vacancy
shall have occurred, the owner of any Refunded Bond may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor Escrow Agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice,
if any, as it may deem proper,prescribe and appoint a successor Escrow Agent.
Any successor Escrow Agent shall be a corporation organized and doing business under

Escrow Agent an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and the Escrow Agent shall
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Escrow Agent, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, all the rights, powers and trusts of the Escrow Agent hereunder. Upon
the request of any such successor Escrow Agent,the City shall execute any and all instruments in
writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Escrow Agent
all such rights,powers and duties.
The obligations assumed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement may be
transferred by the Escrow Agent to a successor Escrow Agent if (a)the requirements of this
Section 8.4 are satisfied; (b)the successor Escrow Agent has assumed all the obligations of the
Escrow Agent under this Agreement; and (c) all of the Escrowed Securities and money held by

FEDERAL TAX CERTIFICATE
I, the undersigned officer of the City of Renton, Washington (the "City"), make this
certification for the benefit of all persons interested in the exclusion from gross income for
federal income tax purposes of the interest to be paid on the City's Limited Tax General
Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010 (the "Bonds"), which are being issued in the aggregate
principal amount of$6,170,000 and delivered simultaneously with the delivery of this certificate.
I do hereby certify as follows in good faith on the date of issue of the Bonds:
1. Responsible Officer. I am the duly chosen, qualified and acting officer of the City
for the office shown below my signature; as such, I am familiar with the facts herein certified
and I am duly authorized to execute and deliver this certificate on behalf of the City. I am the
officer of the City charged, along with other officers of the City, with responsibility for issuing
the Bonds.
2. Code and Regulations. The Bonds are subject to the provisions of sections 141,
148, 149 and 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the
Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations") promulgated under sections 141, 148, 149 and 150 of
the Code. These provisions of the Code and Regulations impose restrictions on the use of bond-
financed facilities and on the investment of bond proceeds. This certificate is being executed and
delivered pursuant to sections 1.141-1 through 1.141-15, 1.148-0 through 1.148-11, 1.149(b)-1,
1.149(d)-1, 1.149(g)-1, 1.150-1 and 1.150-2 of the Regulations.
3. Definitions. The capitalized terms used in this certificate (unless otherwise
defined) that are defined in Ordinance No. 5534, passed on April 5, 2010, authorizing the
issuance of the Bonds (the "Bond Ordinance") shall for all purposes hereof have the meanings
therein specified. All terms defined in the Code or Regulations shall for all purposes of this
certificate have the same meanings as given to those terms in the Code and Regulations unless
the context clearly requires otherwise.
4. Reasonable Expectations. The facts and estimates that are set forth in this
certificate are accurate. The expectations that are set forth in this certificate are reasonable in
light of such facts and estimates. There are no other facts or estimates that would materially
change such expectations. The undersigned has to the extent necessary reviewed the
certifications set forth herein with other representatives of the City as to such accuracy and
reasonableness. The undersigned has also relied,to the extent appropriate, on representations set
forth in the certificate of Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation, the underwriter that has
purchased the Bonds (the "Underwriter"), attached hereto as Exhibit A, the representations set
forth in the certificate of Piper Jaffray& Co., the City's Financial Advisor (the "Financial
Advisor") attached hereto as Exhibit B, and the report of Grant Thornton LLP, certified public
accountants, dated May 11, 2010 (the "Report"). The undersigned is aware of no fact, estimate
or circumstance that would create any doubt regarding the accuracy or reasonableness of all or
any portion of such documents.
5. Description of Governmental Purpose. The City is issuing the Bonds pursuant to
the Bond Ordinance (a)to provide funds that will be used to advance refund and defease a
portion of the City's Limited Tax General Obligation and Refunding Bonds, 2001 (the "Prior
Bonds"),pursuant to an escrow agreement between the City and U.S. Bank National Association
(the "Escrow Agreement"), and (b) to pay the costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Prior Bonds
were issued to provide funds to (i) advance refund a portion of the City's Limited Tax General
Obligation Bonds, 1997B (the "1997B Bonds"), including the payment of costs of issuance of
the Prior Bonds allocable to the advance refunding of the 1997B Bonds (the "2001 Refunding
Project") and (ii)pay the costs of constructing and equipping a municipal parking garage (the
"2001 Capital Improvements"), including costs of issuance of the Prior Bonds allocable to the
2001 Capital Improvements (the "2001 New Money Project"). The Report details all relevant
aspects of the application of the proceeds of the Bonds and the City's program to refund the Prior
Bonds. Specifically, all of the Prior Bonds maturing on December 1, 2018, December 1, 2019
and December 1, 2021 in the amount of$6,000,000.00 (the"Refunded Bonds")will be called for
redemption and retired with proceeds of the Bonds. The Refunded Bonds are being defeased in
order to achieve a present-value savings in the debt service payable by the City. December 1,
2011 is the first date on which the Refunded Bonds are subject to optional redemption'and on
such date all of the Refunded Bonds will be called for redemption in advance of their scheduled
maturities and retired with proceeds of the Bonds. In accordance with a multipurpose issue
allocation of the Prior Bonds pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.148-9(h)(4)(v)(B), all of
the Refunded Bonds are allocable to the 2001 New Money Project and the Bonds are the first
advance refunding of the Refunded Bonds.
6. The Refunded Bonds.
(a) General. No portion of the purchase price of any of the Refunded Bonds
represents a loan made from the proceeds of another tax-exempt obligation. All of the original
and investment proceeds allocable to the Refunded Bonds have been expended. No portion of
the proceeds of the Refunded Bonds was used to pay the principal of, or interest on, any other
issue of governmental obligations. In addition, other than to the extent of preliminary
expenditures (i.e., architectural,1 engineering, surveying, soil testing, reimbursement bond
issuance, and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction,
or rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs
incident to commencement of construction), no portion of the proceeds of the Refunded Bonds
was used to reimburse the City for any expenditures made by the City prior to the respective
issuance dates of the Refunded Bonds or 60 days prior to the date that the City adopted a
declaration of intent to reimburse itself from proceeds of the Refunded Bonds.
(b) Prior Bond Fund. The City has maintained a debt service fund for the Prior
Bonds (the "Prior Bond Fund") and has on hand in such Prior Bond Fund certain amounts that
were to be used for the payment of debt service on the Prior Bonds. The Prior Bond Fund will
be continued for the payment of debt service on the Prior Bonds that remain outstanding. The
City has created a new debt service fund (the "Bond Fund") under the Bond Ordinance for
purposes of the payment of debt service on the Bonds, as described in paragraph 16 below.
7. Use of Amounts Allocable to Refunded Bonds. Other than amounts described in
paragraph 6 above,there are no amounts on hand that represent proceeds of the Refunded Bonds,
replacement proceeds of the Refunded Bonds or accumulated earnings on such proceeds.
2
8. Expenditure of Proceeds of the Bonds. The sale proceeds from the issuance of the
Bonds will be $6,613,483.70. Such amount represents the stated redemption price at maturity
(excluding accrued interest for those Bonds the interest on which is paid at least once annually)
of the Bonds, equal to $6,170,000.00, plus a net original issue premium in the amount of
$443,483.70. No portion of the purchase price of any of the Bonds is provided by the issuance
of any other issue of obligations. The sale proceeds will be expended as follows:
(a) The amount of $6,542,769.00 will be deposited in the escrow fund established
pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Fund") and used on the date hereof to purchase
United States Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness and Notes, State and Local Government
Securities (the "Escrowed Securities"), the proceeds of which will be used as described in the
Report to pay the principal of, and interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Refunded
Bonds. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds is expected to be used to pay any interest on, or
principal of, any issue of governmental obligations other than the Bonds and the Refunded
Bonds.
(b) The amount of$34,798.80 will be allocated on the date of issuance of the Bonds
to the Underwriter's discount or compensation.
(c) The amount of$35,625.00 will be disbursed to pay other costs of issuance of the
Bonds (including any rating agency fees charged to the City).
(d) The amount of$289.74 represents a rounding amount and will be deposited in the
Bond Fund and used to pay debt service on the Bonds on the first interest payment date.
(e) The amount of$1.16 will be deposited as the initial cash balance in the Escrow
Fund and disbursed to pay debt service on the Refunded Bonds.
9. Pre-issuance Accrued Interest. The Bonds are dated as of the date of their initial
delivery to the Underwriter and the City will receive no pre-issuance accrued interest on the
Bonds.
10. Investment Proceeds. Except for earnings on the amounts described in
paragraphs 8(c), 8(d) and 8(e), all amounts received by the City, such as interest and dividends,
resulting from the investment of any original proceeds or investment proceeds of the Bonds will
be deposited in the Escrow Fund for the Refunded Bonds and used to pay the principal of, and
interest and redemption premium, if any, on, the Refunded Bonds. Earnings on the amounts
described in paragraphs 8(c), 8(d) and 8(e) will be used for one of the purposes described in such
paragraphs.
11. Transferred Proceeds. There are no transferred proceeds with respect to the
Bonds because all of the proceeds of Refunded Bonds have been or will be expended prior to the
first dates on which amounts are disbursed from the Escrow Fund to pay principal of the
Refunded Bonds.
12. No Replacement Proceeds. Other than amounts described herein, there are no
amounts that have a sufficiently direct nexus to the Bonds or to the governmental purposes of the
Bonds, including the expected use of amounts to pay debt service on the Refunded Bonds, that
3
the amounts would have been used for such purpose if the proceeds of the Bonds were not used
or to be used for such purpose.
(a) No Sinking Funds. Other than to the extent described herein, there is no debt
service fund, redemption fund, reserve fund, replacement fund, or similar fund reasonably
expected to be used directly or indirectly to pay principal or interest on the Bonds.
(b) No Pledged Funds. Other than amounts described herein, there is no amount that
is directly or indirectly, other than solely by reason of the mere availability or preliminary
earmarking, pledged to pay principal or interest on the Bonds, or to a guarantor of part orall of
the Bonds, such that such pledge provides reasonable assurance that such amount will be
available to pay principal or interest on the Bonds if the City encounters financial difficulty. For
purposes of this certification, an amount is treated as so pledged if it is held under an agreement
to maintain the amount at a particular level for the direct or indirect benefit of the holders or the
guarantor of the Bonds.
(c) No Other Replacement Proceeds. There are no other replacement proceeds
allocable to the Bonds because the City reasonably expects that the term of the Bonds will not be
longer than is reasonably necessary for the governmental purposes of the Bonds. Furthermore, if
the term of the Bonds is longer than is reasonably necessary for the governmental purposes of the
Bonds, the City does not reasonably expect to have available amounts during the portion of such
period that is longer than is reasonably necessary. The Bonds would be issued to achieve a debt
service savings independent of any arbitrage benefit as evidenced by the expectation that the
Bonds reasonably would have been issued if the interest on the Bonds were included in gross
income (assuming that the hypothetical taxable interest rate would be the same as the actual tax-
exempt interest rate).
(d) Weighted Average Maturity. The weighted average maturity of the Bonds, which
has been computed by the Underwriter as set forth on Exhibit A, does not exceed the remaining
weighted average maturity of the Refunded Bonds and the weighted average maturity of the
Refunded Bonds is not greater than 120 percent of the weighted average estimated economic life
of the 2001 New Money Project, determined in accordance with section 147(b) of the Code.
Such weighted average estimated economic life is determined in accordance with the following
assumptions: (a) the weighted average was determined by taking into account the respective
costs of each of the assets financed by the Refunded Bonds; (b) the reasonably expected
economic life of an asset was determined as of the later of the date hereof or the date on which
such asset is expected to be placed in service (i.e., available for use for the intended purposes of
such asset); (c) the economic lives used in making this determination are not greater than the
useful lives used for depreciation under section 167 of the Code prior to the enactment of the
current system of depreciation in effect under section 168 of the Code (i.e., the "mid-point
lives") under the asset depreciation range ("ADR") system of section 167(m) of the Code, as set
forth in Revenue Procedure 83-35, 1983-1 C.B. 745, where applicable, and the "guideline lives"
under Revenue Procedure 62-21, 1962-2 C.B. 418, in the case of structures; and (d) land or any
interest therein has not been taken into account in determining the average reasonably expected
economic life of such project, unless 25 percent or more of the net proceeds of any issue is to be
used to finance land.

13. No Excess Gross Proceeds. Except for the amount described in paragraph 8(d)
above and earnings on the amounts described in paragraphs 8(c) and 8(d) above, all gross
proceeds of the Bonds are allocable to:
(a) the payment of principal, interest or call premium on the Refunded Bonds as
described in paragraph 8(a)above;
(b) the payment of costs of issuance of the Bonds as described in paragraph 8(b) and
8(c) above;
(c) the payment of administrative costs allocable to repaying the Refunded Bonds,
carrying and repaying the Bonds or investments of Bond proceeds;
(d) transferred proceeds allocable to expenditures for the governmental purpose of the
Refunded Bonds as described in paragraph 7 above (if any); and
(e) replacement proceeds in a sinking fund for the Bonds.
Investment earnings on the amounts described in paragraphs 8(c) and 8(d) are expected to
be de minimis; therefore, the sum of the investment earnings on the amounts described in
paragraphs 8(c) and 8(d), the amount described in paragraph 8(d) will be less than one percent of
the original proceeds of the Bonds.
14. Yield on the Bonds. For the purposes of this certificate, the yield on the Bonds is
the discount rate that, when used in computing the present value as of the issue date of the
Bonds, of all unconditionally payable payments of principal, interest and fees for qualified
guarantees on the Bonds,produces an amount equal to the present value, using the same discount
rate, of the aggregate issue price of the Bonds as of the issue date. For purposes of determining
the yield on the Bonds, the issue price of the Bonds is the sum of the issue prices for each group
of substantially identical Bonds. For each group of substantially identical Bonds, the issue price
is the first price at which a substantial amount (i.e., ten percent) is sold to the public (excluding
bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters
and wholesalers). Based upon the representations of the Underwriter set forth in Exhibit A
hereto, the issue price of the Bonds aggregated $6,613,483.70. No Underwriter's discount,
issuance costs, or costs of carrying or repaying the Bonds is taken into account for purposes of
computing the yield on the Bonds.
The yield on the Bonds calculated in this manner, as shown in the Report, is 3.575057
percent.
15. Temporary Periods and Yield Restriction.
(a) Uninvested Amounts. The amounts described in paragraphs 8(b) and 8(e) will not
be invested and,therefore, are not subject to yield restriction.
(b) Issuance Costs. It is expected that the amount described in paragraph 8(c) will be
disbursed within 13 'months of the date hereof for costs of issuing the Bonds; therefore, such
amount will be invested for an allowable temporary period. To the extent any portion of the
5
amount described in paragraph 8(c) is not expended within 13 months, the City will take steps to
restrict the investment of such amounts to a yield which is not materially higher than the yield on
the Bonds.
(c) Rounding Amount. The amount described in paragraph 8(d) will be invested at a
yield that is not higher than the yield on the Bonds.
(d) Yield on the Escrowed Securities. The yield on the Escrowed Securities is
computed using the same compounding interval and financial conventions used to compute the
yield on the Bonds. The yield on the Escrowed Securities is the discount rate that, when used in
computing the present value as of the date the Escrowed Securities were first allocated to the
Bonds of all unconditionally payable receipts to be actually or constructively received from the
Escrowed Securities, produces an amount equal to the amounts to be actually or constructively
paid for the Escrowed Securities. The Escrowed Securities are all yield-restricted nonpurpose
investments that are a single class of investments and that are treated as a single investment
because all of the Escrowed Securities were purchased with Bond proceeds and held in a
refunding escrow as described in paragraph 8(a) above. Such purchase price is equal to the price
paid by the City to the United States for the Escrowed Securities. As shown in the Report, the
yield on the Escrowed Securities determined in this manner is 0.732486 percent, a yield that is
not higher than the yield on the Bonds.
The City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance to comply with, among other things, the
requirements of section 148(f) of the Code and, if required, the City will satisfy this requirement
with respect to earnings on the Escrowed Securities out of funds other than those in the Escrow
Fund.
Pursuant to section 1.148-9(g) of the Regulations, the City hereby elects to waive the
30-day temporary period available under section 1.148-9(d)(2)(i) of the Regulations:
16. Bond Fund. Pursuant to the Bond Ordinance, the City has created or continued,
as the case may be,the Bond Fund and the proceeds from all taxes levied, assessed and collected
for and on account of the Bonds are to be deposited in such Fund. The City expects that taxes
levied, assessed and collected for and on account of the Bonds will be sufficient each year to pay
such debt service. All amounts deposited in the Bond Fund which will be depleted at least once
each bond year, except for a reasonable carryover amount not in excess of the greater of the
earnings on such portion of the Bond Fund for the immediately preceding bond year or one-
twelfth of the principal and interest payments on the Bonds for the immediately preceding bond
year..Therefore, all amounts therein may be invested at an unrestricted yield. Any amounts held
in the Bond Fund for longer than 13 months will be invested in obligations the yield on which is
not in excess of the yield on the Bonds.
17. Issue. There are no other obligations which (a) are sold at substantially the same
time as the Bonds (i.e., within 15 days), (b) are sold pursuant to the same plan of financing with
the Bonds, and(c)will be paid out of substantially the same source of funds as the Bonds.
18. Compliance With Rebate Requirements. The City has covenanted in the Bond
Ordinance that it will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that rebatable
6
arbitrage earnings on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds, if any, within the
meaning of section 148(f) of the Code be rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the
City will (a) maintain records regarding the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds as
may be required to calculate such rebatable arbitrage earnings separately from records of
amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the City which are allocable to other bond issues
of the City or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any bonds of the City,
(b) calculate at such intervals as may be required by applicable Regulations, the amount of
rebatable arbitrage earnings, if any, earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the
Bonds and (c)pay, not less often than every fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the Bonds
and within 60 days following the fmal maturity of the Bonds, or on such other dates required or
permitted by applicable Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal
government. Further, the City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the
federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal
government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of
the Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal
government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if the arrangement had been at arm's-length and had the yield on the issue not been
relevant to either party.
The City hereby covenants to pay any rebate due on the Refunded Bonds within 60 days
after the date the Refunded Bonds are retired.
19. Not an Abusive Transaction.
(a) General. No action taken in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is or will
have the effect of (a) enabling the City to exploit, other than during an allowable temporary
period, the difference between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates to obtain a material financial
advantage (including as a result of an investment of any portion of the gross proceeds of the
Bonds over any period of time, notwithstanding that, in the aggregate, the gross proceeds of the
Bonds are not invested in higher yielding investments over the term of the Bonds), and
(b) overburdening the tax-exempt bond market by issuing more bonds, issuing bonds earlier, or
allowing bonds to remain outstanding longer than is otherwise reasonably necessary to
accomplish the governmental purposes of the Bonds, based on all the facts and circumstances.
Specifically, (i) the primary purpose of each transaction undertaken in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds is a bona fide governmental purpose; (ii) each action taken in connection
with the issuance of the Bonds would reasonably be taken to accomplish the governmental
purposes of the Bonds if the interest on the Bonds were not excludable from gross income for
federal income tax purposes (assuming the hypothetical taxable interest rate would be the same
as the actual tax-exempt interest rate on the Bonds); (iii) the proceeds of the Bonds will not
exceed by more than a minor portion the amount necessary to accomplish the governmental
purposes of the Bonds and will in fact not be substantially in excess of the amount of proceeds
allocated to expenditures for the governmental purposes of the Bonds.
(b) No Re-refunding. No portion of the Refunded Bonds has been refunded or
defeased other than by reason of the issuance of the Bonds.
7
(c) No Sinking Fund. 'No portion of the Bonds has a term that has been lengthened
primarily for the purpose of creating a sinking fund or similar fund with respect to the Bonds and
thereby eliminating significant amounts of negative arbitrage in the Escrow Fund.
(d) No Noncallable Bonds. The Refunded Bonds do not include any noncallable
Prior Bonds.
(e) No Window Refunding. No portion of the Bonds has been structured with
maturity dates the primary purpose of which is to make available released revenues that will
enable the City to avoid transferred proceeds or to make available revenues that may be invested
to be ultimately used to pay debt service on another issue of obligations.
(f) No Sale of Conduit Loan. No portion of the gross proceeds of the Prior Bonds or
the Bonds has been or will be used to acquire, finance, or refinance any conduit loan to.any
ply
• 20. No Arbitrage. On the basis of the foregoing facts, estimates and circumstances, it
is expected that the gross proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause
any of the Bonds to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and
the Regulations. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, there are no other
facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change such expectations.
21. No Private Use, Payments or Loan Financing.
(a) General. The City reasonably expects, as of the date hereof, that no action or
event during the entire stated term of the Bonds will cause either the "private business tests" or
the "private loan financing test," as such terms are defined in the Regulations, to be met.
Specifically,
(i) Not more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used and no
portion of the proceeds of the; Prior Bonds has been used in a trade or business of a
nongovernmental person. For purposes of determining use, the City will apply rules set forth in
applicable Regulations and Revenue Procedures promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service,
including, among others, the following rules: (A) any activity carried on by a person other than a
natural person or a state or local governmental unit will be treated as a trade or business of a
nongovernmental person; (B) the use of all or any portion of the 2001 New Money Project is
treated as the direct use of proceeds; (C) a nongovernmental person will be treated as a private
business user of proceeds of the Bonds or the Prior Bonds as a result of ownership, actual or
beneficial use of the proceeds pursuant to a lease, or a management or incentive payment
contract, or certain other arrangements such as a take-or-pay or other output-type contract; and
(D) the private business use test is met if a nongovernmental person has special legal
entitlements to use directly or indirectly the 2001 New Money Project.
(ii) The City has not taken and will not take any deliberate action that would
cause or permit the use of any portion of the 2001 New Money Project to change such that such
portion will be deemed to be used in the trade or business of.a nongovernmental person for so
long as any of the Bonds remains outstanding (or until an opinion of nationally recognized bond
counsel is received to the effect that such change in use will not adversely affect the
8
excludability from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest payable on the
Bonds). For this purpose any action within the control of the City is treated as a deliberate
action. A deliberate action occurs on the date the City enters into a binding contract with a
nongovernmental person for use of the 2001 New Money Project that is not subject to any
material contingencies.
(iii) All payments of the debt service on the Bonds will be paid from and
secured by a generally applicable tax. For this purpose, a generally applicable tax is a tax
(A)which is an enforced contribution exacted pursuant to legislative City in the exercise of the
taxing power that is imposed and collected for the purpose of raising revenue to be used for
governmental purposes and (B) which has a uniform tax rate that is applied to all persons of the
same classification in the appropriate jurisdiction using a generally applicable manner of
determination and collection. No portion of the payment of the debt service on the Bonds will be
directly or indirectly derived from payments (whether or not to the City or any related party) in
respect of property, or borrowed money, used or to be used for a private business use.
Furthermore, no portion of the payment of the debt service on the Bonds will be directly or
indirectly secured by any interest in property used or to be used for a private business use or
payments in respect of property used or to be used for a private business use.
(iv) No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be directly or indirectly used
to make or finance a loan to any person other than a state or local governmental unit.
(b) Dispositions of Personal Property in the Ordinary Course. The City does not
reasonably expect that it will sell or otherwise dispose of personal property components of the
2001 New Money Project refmanced with the Bonds other than in the ordinary course of an
established governmental program that satisfies the following requirements:
(i) The weighted average maturity of the portion of the Bonds refinancing
personal property is not greater than 120 percent of the reasonably expected actual use of such
personal property for governmental purposes;
(ii) The reasonably expected fair market value of such personal property on
the date of disposition will be not greater than 25 percent of its cost;
(iii) Such personal property will no longer be suitable for its governmental
purposes on the date of disposition; and
(iv) The City is required to deposit amounts received from such disposition in
a commingled fund with substantial tax or other governmental revenues and the City reasonably
expects to spend such amounts on governmental programs within 6 months from the date of
commingling.
(c) Other Agreements. The City will not enter into any agreement with any
nongovernmental person regarding the use of all or any portion of the 2001 New Money Project
during the stated term of the Bonds unless such agreement will not adversely affect the treatment
of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
9
22. Weighted Average Maturity. The weighted average maturity of the Bonds set
forth on Exhibit A attached to this certificate is the sum of the products of the issue price of each
group of identical Bonds and the number of years to maturity (determined separately for each
group of identical Bonds and taking into account mandatory redemptions), divided by the
aggregate sale proceeds of the Bonds.
23. Bonds are not Hedge Bonds. The City represents that not more than 50 percent of
the proceeds of the Refunded Bonds were a part was invested in nonpurpose investments (as
defined in section 148(f)(6)(A) of the Code) having a substantially guaranteed yield for four
years or more within the meaning of section 149(g)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the City
reasonably expected at the time the Refunded Bonds were issued that at least 85 percent of the
spendable proceeds of each such Bonds would be used to carry out the governmental purposes of
such issue within the corresponding three-year period beginning on the date of issue of the
Refunded Bonds.
24. Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The Bonds are not"federally guaranteed" and the
City will not cause or allow the bonds to become "federally guaranteed". Unless otherwise
excepted under section 149(b) of the Code,the Bonds will be considered federally guaranteed if:
(a) The payment of principal or interest with respect to the Bonds is guaranteed (in
whole or in part)by the United States (or any agency or instrumentality thereof);
(b) 5 percent or more of the proceeds of the Bonds are to be:
(i) used in making loans the payment of principal or interest with respect to
which are to be guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the United States (or any agency or
instrumentality thereof), or
(ii) invested (directly or indirectly) in federally insured deposits or accounts;
or
(c) The payment of principal or interest on the Bonds is otherwise indirectly
guaranteed(in whole or in part)by the United States (or an agency or instrumentality thereof).

CERTIFICATE OF UNDERWRITER
Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation has acted as underwriter(the "Underwriter"), in
connection with the sale and delivery by the City of Renton, Washington (the "City") of Limited
Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of$6,170,000
(the"Bonds"). I,the undersigned, hereby certify as follows on behalf of the Underwriter:
1. I am the duly chosen, qualified and acting officer of the Underwriter for
the office shown below my signature; as such, I am familiar with the facts herein certified
and I am duly authorized to execute and deliver this certificate on behalf of the
Underwriter. I am the officer of the Underwriter charged, along with other officers of the
Underwriter, with responsibility for the Bonds.
2. The Underwriter has purchased the Bonds from the City pursuant to a
Bond Purchase Contract dated April 8, 2010, for an aggregate purchase price of
$6,578,684.90. The Underwriter has made a bona fide public offering to the public of all
of the Bonds of each maturity at the issue prices to the public set on the cover of the
Official Statement. The issue prices set forth in the Official Statement were determined
on the date the Bonds were purchased by the Underwriter based on the reasonable
expectations regarding the initial public offering prices. The issue price for each maturity
of the Bonds, as set forth in the Report, represents the first price (including original issue
premium and discount and accrued interest to the issue date only) of the Bonds at which a
substantial amount(at least 10 percent) of each such maturity was sold to the public. The
aggregate of such issue prices of all of the Bonds is $6,613,483.70. The initial public
offering prices described above do not exceed the fair market value for the Bonds on the
sale date. The term "public," as used herein, does not include bondhouses, brokers,
dealers, and similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or
wholesalers.
3. The Underwriter computed the weighted average maturity of the Bonds to
be 9.8603 years, as set forth in paragraph 23 of the Federal Tax Certificate to which this
certificate is attached.
4. The yield on the Bonds is not less than 3.575057 percent. For purposes of
this certificate, the term "yield" means that yield which is computed as described in
paragraph 14 of the Federal Tax Certificate. For this purpose, the present value on each
such mandatory redemption date is computed using the yield of only such group of
identical Bonds to their stated final maturity as the discount rate.
5. I have worked closely with representatives of the City in structuring the
financial terms of the Bonds and the refunding of the Refunded Bonds. The Underwriter
has also performed certain computations that are the subject of the Report. I hereby
confirm that, to the best of my knowledge, the schedules that are described in the Report
as provided by the Underwriter are true, accurate and complete. I further hereby
A-1
represent that to the best of my knowledge the statements set forth in paragraph 20 of the
Federal Tax Certificate to which this certificate is attached, are true.
The Underwriter hereby authorizes the City to rely on the statements made herein in
connection with making the representations set forth in the Federal Tax Certificate to which this
certificate is attached and in its efforts to comply with the conditions imposed by the Code on the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of their owners. The Underwriter
hereby authorizes K&L Gates LLP to rely on this certificate for purposes of its opinion regarding
the treatment of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning ascribed to
such terms in the Federal Tax Certificate to which this certificate is attached.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Should the City refinance the 2001 limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) Bonds issued for the
construction of the City Center Parking Garage?
The City issued $19.5 million of Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds (LTGO) in 2001 for 1) $13.5
million to refinance the 1997 LTGO issued for the acquisition and remodeling of the current City Hall;
and 2) $6 million to provide "new money" for the development of City Center Garage. The garage
portion of the, issue was for 20 yeas, with interest only payments up to 2017, and principle payments
spread from 2018 through 2021.
These bonds have a provision that allows the City to redeem them at face (par)value starting December
1, 2011, and on any debt service payment dates thereafter. The refinancing plan is to provide for
sufficient funds through the new bond issue in escrow to pay the interest on the old bonds for the
remaining of 2010 and 2011, and then pay the $6 million principal balance on December 1, 2011.
The new issue is expected to be around $6.15 million, and will follow the same amortization schedule
as the 2001 issue, interest only payments through 2018 and principal will be paid between 2018 and
2021. The lower interest rate will allow the City to save around $42,000 a year, or$500,000 over the
remaining 11.5 years, with a present value savings at$424,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the refinancing plan and all the associated documents necessary to issue the new bonds, •
including the associated Escrow Agreement, and redemption of the outstanding 2001 bonds. .

Re: City of Renton, Washington Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding
Bonds,2010 $ •
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as bo d counsel to the City of Renton, Washington (the "City"), and
have examined a certified transcript of the proceedings taken in the matter of the issuance by
the City of its Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2010 (the "Bonds"), dated
as of their date of initial delivery, in the aggregate principal amount of$ , issued for
the purpose of refunding certain outstanding limited tax general obligation bonds of the City
and paying costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds are issued pursuant to Ordinance
No. passed by the City JCouncil of the City on April 5, 2010 (the "Bond Ordinance").
Capitalized terms used in this opinion which are not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings given to such terms in the Bond Ordinance.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturities as provided in the
Bond Ordinance and in the Bond Purchase Agreement.
Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on representations
of the City in the Bond Ordinance and in the certified proceedings and on other certifications
of public officials and others furnished to us without,undertaking to verify the same by
independent investigation.
Based on the foregoing,we are of the opinion that,under existing law:
1. The Bonds ha.-Te been legally issued and constitute valid and binding general
obligations of the City, except to the extent that the enforcement of the rights and remedies of
the holders and owners of the Bonds may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors, by the' application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial
discretion.
2. The Bond Ordlinance is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the City, has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered and is enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting
the rights of creditors, by theapplication of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial
discretion.
City of Renton,Washington
Seattle-Northwest Securities Corporation

3. Both principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable out of annual levies of
ad valorem taxes to be made upon all of the taxable property within the City within and as
part of the tax levy permitted to the City without a vote of the electorate and in amounts
which, together with other available funds, will be sufficient to pay such principal and
interest as the same shall become due.
4. Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum
tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into
• account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative
minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. The opinion set forth in the preceding
sentence is subject to the condition that the City comply with all requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that must be satisfied subsequent to the
issuance of the Bonds in order that the interest thereon be, and continue to be, excludable
from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City has covenanted to comply with
all applicable requirements. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants may cause
interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes
retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
The City has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the
meaning of Section 265(b)(3)of the Code.
Except as expressly stated above, we express no opinion regarding any other federal
or state income tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of the Bonds.
Owners of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any
collateral tax consequences of owning the Bonds, which may include original issue discount,
original issue premium, purchase at a market discount or at a premium, taxation upon sale,
redemption or other disposition, and various withholding requirements.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update,
revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter
come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.
Very truly yours,
K&L GATES LLP

any funds that are lawfully available therefor, additional funds in the amounts required to make
such payments. Notice of ani such insufficiency shall be given promptly as hereinafter
