Section 6. There is created and established in the office
of the Director of Finance of the City a special fund to be
known and designated as the "Renton 1983 Water and Sewer Revenue
Bond Redemption Fund. " Such fund is divided into two accounts,
namely, a Principal and Interest Account and a Reserve Account .
So long as Bonds are outstanding against the Bond Fund, the
Director of Finance of the City shall (a) set aside and pay into
the Principal and Interest Account in such fund out of the
Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City a fixed amount,
without regard to any fixed proportion, namely, monthly, on or
before the first day of each month beginning with the month of
June, 1983, an amount, together with the accrued interest
received, equal to 1/6th of the amount of interest payable on
the Bonds on November 1, 1983, and thereafter 1/6th of the next
ensuing six months ' requirements for interest, and beginning
with the month of June, 1983, 1/12th of the next ensuing twelve
months ' requirements for principal on the Bonds and continuing
thereafter until the Bonds, both principal and interest, are
paid in full, and (b) set aside and pay into the Reserve Account
in the Bond Fund out of the Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of
the City in substantially equal monthly payments such amounts so
that by no later than May 1, 1988, there shall have been accumu-
lated in the Reserve Account in the Bond Fund for the Bonds an
amount not less than the Average Annual Debt Service for the
Bonds .
15 -
The Reserve Account in the Bond Fund may be accumulated
from any other money which the City may have available for such
purpose in addition to using such revenue therefor .
The City further agrees that when such required amounts
have been paid into the Reserve Account in the Bond Fund, the
City will at all times, except for withdrawals therefrom as
authorized herein, maintain those amounts therein until there is
a sufficient amount in the Bond Fund, including the Reserve
Account therein, to pay the principal of and interest to matur-
ity on all outstanding Bonds, at which time no further payments
need be made into the Bond Fund and the money in the Bond Fund,
including the Reserve Account, may be used to pay such principal
and interest.
In the event there shall be a deficiency in the Bond Fund
to meet maturing installments of either principal or interest,
as the case may be, on the Bonds, such deficiency shall be made
up from the Reserve Account by the withdrawal of cash therefrom
for that purpose. Any deficiency created in the Reserve Account
by reason of any such withdrawal shall then be made up from the
money from the Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City
first avaiable after making necessary provisions for the
required payments into the Bond Fund.
All money in the Reserve Account above provided for not
needed to meet the payments of principal and interest when due
may be kept on deposit in the official bank depository of the
16 -
City or in any national bank or may be invested in any legal
investment for City funds maturing not later than the interest
or principal and interest payment date when such money will be
needed. Interest on any such investment or on such bank account
shall be deposited in and become a part of the Reserve Account
until the total required reserve amount shall have been accumu-
lated therein, after which such interest shall be deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account.
Funds in the Waterworks Utility Fund of the City shall be
used in the following order of priority:
(1) To pay Maintenance and Operation Expense;
(2) To pay the Interest on the Outstanding Parity
Bonds, the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds;
(3) To pay the principal of the Outstanding Parity
Bonds, the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds;
(4) To make all payments required to be made into
any sinking fund or bond redemption fund here-
after created for the payment of Future Parity
Bonds which are Term Bonds;
(5) To make all payments required to be made into
the Reserve Accounts created to secure the pay-
ment of the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the Bonds
and any Future Parity Bonds;
(6) To make all payments required to be made into
any revenue bond redemption fund or warrant
redemption fund and debt service account or
reserve account created to pay and secure the
payment of the principal of and interest on any
revenue bonds or revenue warrants of the City
having a lien upon the Revenue of the Waterworks
Utility junior and inferior to the lien thereon
for the payment of the principal of and interest
on the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the Bonds and
any Future Parity Bonds;
- 17 -
(7) To retire by redemption or purchase in the open
market any outstanding revenue bonds or revenue
warrants of the City, to make necessary addi-
tions, betterments, improvements and repairs to
or extensions and replacements of the Waterworks
Utility of the City, or for any other lawful
City purposes .
If the City shall fail to set aside and pay into the Bond
Fund the amounts set forth above, the holder of any of the out-
standing Bonds may bring an action against the City to compel
such setting aside and payment .
Section 7 . The Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the
City is pledged to such payments, and the Bonds shall constitute
a lien and charge upon such revenue prior and superior to any
other charges whatsoever, excluding Maintenance and Operation
Expense, except that the lien and charge upon such revenue for
the Bonds shall be on a parity with the lien and charge thereon
for the Outstanding Parity Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds
hereafter issued.
Section 8 . In the judgment of the City Council, the Reve-
nue and benefits to be derived from the operation and mainte-
nance of the Waterworks Utility of the City, at the rates to be
charged for water and sanitary sewage disposal service on the
entire utility, will be more than sufficient to meet all Mainte-
nance and Operation Expense and the debt service requirements of
the Outstanding Parity Bonds and to permit the setting aside in
the Bond Fund, out of the revenue of the entire utility, of
amounts sufficient to pay the interest on the Bonds as such
- 18 -
interest become payable and to pay and redeem all of the Bonds
at maturity. The City Council further declares that in creating
the Bond Fund and in fixing the amounts to be paid into the
same, as aforesaid, it has exercised due regard for the Mainte-
nance and Operation Expense and the debt service requirements of
the presently Outstanding Parity Bonds and the City has not
bound and obligated itself to set aside and pay into the Bond
Fund a greater amount or proportion of the revenue of such util-
ity than in the judgment of the City Council will be available
over and above such Maintenance and Operation Expense and debt
service requirements of the Outstanding Parity Bonds and that no
portion of the Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City has
been previously pledged for any other unrefunded indebtedness,
except for the payment of the presently outstanding Parity Bonds .
Section 9. The City covenants and agrees with the owner
and holder of each Bond at any time outstanding as follows:
(a) It will establish, maintain and collect such
rates and charges for water and sanitary sewage dis-
posal service so long as any Outstanding Parity Bonds
and Bonds are outstanding as will make available for
the payment of the principal of and interest on such
bonds an amount equivalent to at least 1.3 times the
average annual debt service requirements, both prin-

by the provisions set forth in Section 13 or Ordinance No. 3169,
are met and complied with at the time of the issuance of such
Future Parity Bonds, which sections are by this reference incor-
porated herein and made a part hereof and shall continue to be

retired, provided, however, that with respect to the issuance of
any Future Parity Bonds, Subsection A of Section 15 of Ordinance

The City Clerk is authorized to give notice calling for
bids to purchase the Bonds by publishing such notice once a week
for two consecutive weeks in the official newspaper of the City,
or, if there be no official newspaper of the City, in a
newspaper of general circulation in King County, Washington, the
first publication date thereof to be no later than April 22,
1983, and by publishing no later than April 22, 1983 a short
abbreviated form of such notice once in The Seattle Daily
Journal of Commerce and Northwest Construction Record of
Seattle, Washington, and in the Daily Bond Buyer of New York,
New York. Such notice shall specify that sealed bids for the
purchase of the Bonds shall be received by the City Clerk in her
office in the City Hall on May 2, 1983, up to 11:00 a.m. , local
time, at which time all bids will be publicly opened and read
and an award made by the City Council at its regular meeting to
24 -
be held in the City Council Chambers commencing at 8 :00 p.m. ,
local time, on the same date.
Bids shall be invited for the purchase of the Bonds with
fixed maturities in accordance with the schedule specified in
Section 4 hereof .
The notice shall specify the maximum effective rate of
interest the Bonds shall bear, namely, 12% per annum, and shall
require bidders to submit a bid specifying:
(a) The lowest rate or rates of interest and
discount below par at which the bidder will purchase
the Bonds; or
(b) The lowest rate or rates of interest at
which the bidder will purchase the Bonds at par .
No bid offering to purchase the Bonds at a discount of more
than 2% plus accrued interest or offering to purchase less than
the entire issue will be considered. The purchaser must pay
accrued interest to date of delivery of the bonds .
Coupon rates shall be in multiples of 1/8 or 1/20 of 1%, or
both. No more than one rate of interest may be fixed for any
one maturity. Only one coupon will be attached to each of the
Bonds for each installment of interest thereon, and bids provid-
ing for additional or supplemental coupons will be rejected.
The maximum differential between the lowest and highest coupon
rates named in any bid shall not exceed 2%.
For the purpose of comparing the bids only, the coupon
rates bid being controlling, each bid shall state the total
interest cost over the life of the Bonds and the net effective
- 25 -
interest rate of the bid, taking into account the discount, if
any, bid .
The Bonds shall be sold to the bidder making the best bid,
subject to the right of the City Council to reject any and all
bids and to readvertise the Bonds for sale in the manner pro-
vided by law, and no bid for less than all of the Bonds shall be
considered. The City further reserves the right to waive any
irregularity in any bid or in the bidding process .
All bids shall be sealed and, except the bid of the State
of Washington, if one is received, shall be accompanied by a
deposit of $30,000. The deposit shall be either by certified or
cashier ' s check made payable to the City Director of Finance and
shall be returned promptly if the bid is not accepted. The City
reserves the right to invest the good faith deposit of the pur-
chaser pending the payment for the Bonds . The purchaser shall
not be credited for such earnings. If the Bonds are ready for
delivery and the successful bidder shall fail or neglect to
complete the purchase of the Bonds within forty days following
the acceptance of its bid, the amount of its deposit shall be
forfeited to the City and in that event the City may accept the
bid of the one making the next best bid. If there be two or
more equal bids and such bids are the best bids received, the
City Council shall determine by lot which bid shall be accepted.
The Bonds will be delivered to the successful bidder upon pay-
ment of the purchase price plus accrued interest to the date of
delivery, less the amount of the good faith deposit, at the
- 26 -
office of the City Clerk or in Seattle, Washington, at the
City' s expense, or at such other place upon which the City Clerk
and the successful bidder may mutually agree at the purchaser ' s
expense. Settlement shall be made in federal funds immediately
available at the time of delivery of the Bonds . A no-litigation
certificate in the usual form will be included in the closing
papers .
CUSIP numbers will be printed on the Bonds, if requested in
the bid of the successful bidder, but neither failure to print
such numbers on any bond nor error with respect thereto shall
constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the purchaser
thereof to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accord-
ance with the terms of the purchase contract . All expenses in
relation to the printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be
paid by the City, but the fee of the CUSIP Service Bureau for
the assignment of those numbers shall be the responsibility of
and shall be paid by .the purchaser .
Any bid presented after the time specified for the receipt
of bids will not be received, and any bid not accompanied by the
required bid deposit at the time of opening will not be read or
considered.
If, prior to the delivery of the Bonds, the interest
receivable by the holders thereof shall become taxable, directly
or indirectly, by the terms of any federal income tax law, the
successful bidder may at its option be relieved of its
27 -
obligation to purchase the Bonds, and in such case the deposit
accompanying its bid will be returned, without interest .
The notice of bond sale shall provide that the City will
cause the Bonds to be printed or lithographed and signed and
will furnish the approving legal opinion of Messrs . Roberts &
Shefelman, bond counsel of Seattle, Washington, covering the
Bonds without cost to the purchaser, the opinion also being
printed on each bond. Bond counsel shall not be required to
review or express any opinion concerning the completeness or
accuracy of any official statement, offering circular or other
sales material issued or used in connection with the Bonds, and
bond counsel ' s opinion shall so state. Such notice also shall
