FROM: Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director
DATE: June 30, 2009
SUBJECT: Cascade Water Alliance Bond Issue Certificates and Resolution
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The Cascade Water Alliance (CWA) will soon be issuing approximately $96 million in
bonds this summer. As a member of CWA, Tukwila must consent to continuing
disclosure requirements that are typically part of a bond offering such as this.
In the coming months CWA will be issuing bonds for several projects, as listed in the
attachment titled Cascade Water Alliance bond planning: funding needs summary. The
bulk of this money will be used for the purchase of Lake Tapps from Puget Sound
Energy, and for the settlement of water rights issues with the Muckleshoot and Puyallup
tribes.
The attached Resolution authorizes the Mayor to execute the two included Certificates.
The first Certificate, Certificate of City of Tukwila, essentially acknowledges that the City
has provided certain operating information to be used in CWA's Offering Statement,
Appendix A (Tukwila's Appendix A information is attached, for your information). This
Certificate also requires the City to abide by continuing disclosure requirements. These
include filing yearly Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, which the City has to file
anyway for our own bonds, and disclosure of certain significant material events, such as
annexations. The second Certificate, Closing Certificate of the City of Tukwila,
essentially acknowledges the City has disclosed to the bond underwriter material
changes, if any, to the information already provided.
Repayment of the $96 million in debt to be issued has already been included in the rate
model for purchased water. As such, there will be no additional rate increase related to
the debt service for this bond issue.
The Council is being asked to approve the attached Resolution authorizing the Mayor to
sign the two Certificates related to the CWA bond issue.

Need to confirm that this is capitalizable
and therefore eligible for bond funding.
Other notes:
The "Short Term Supplemental Supply Projects" for $1,300,000 that appeared on prior version of this list has been removed. It is no
longer a likely project.
Another potential capital funding need: Lake Tapps powerhouse valve replacement, to occur within two or three years of closing
(2010 probably), per the Compliance Schedule. Estimated cost is $2,000,000 ($1.5m equipment plus $500k installation).
Lake Tapps Dike 3 repair may be done in conjunction with county road repair work, if the county funds it. If not, Cascade must
submit a repair schedule to the Department of Ecology within three years.
Bond proceeds may reimburse prior expenses paid from operating funds that were spent for the above projects, for the period back
to three years prior to closing. These potential reimbursements to the Operating Fund may serve as contingency funding to cover
needs that arise between the two bond phases. Ed Cebron will research reimbursement categories.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Ordinance Amending TMC Section 3.32 Increase in Purchasing Limits and Allow for Declarations of
Emergencv
Based on a request made by the Finance Safety Committee (see minutes dated June 2, 2009), staff is
returning to Committee seeking full Council approval of an ordinance amending and adding to the
Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) in the following two areas:
1) Amend TMC 3.32.030 increasing the City purchasing limit, any amount above which, will
require Council approval;
2) Add TMC 3.32.050 allowing for declaration of an emergency per the requirements of the Revised
Code of Washington (RCW) 39.04.280(3).
In regards to the amendment (number 1 above), the TMC currently requires that any City expenditure
over $25,000 be approved by the City Council. This amount has remained unchanged since 1978. Staff is
recommending that this amount be increased to $40,000 in order to streamline City financial processes.
Shawn Hunstock reviewed additional checks and balances, limits and audit guidelines that will continue
to ensure City financial processes are secure and transparent (i.e.: Mayoral approval of all purchases over
up to $25,000, or $40,000, if changed; and continued voucher review by Councilmembers). Additionally,
as of July 26, 2009, certain public works bid laws will take effect, increasing bid limits to $40,000.
Increasing the City limit for all purchases to $40,000 from the current $25,000 will assist in encouraging
consistency and preventing confusion in the purchasing process.
The second item above, is an addition to the TMC, which will allow for appropriate purchases over the
TMC required amount for Council approval when an emergency situation occurs as defined by RCW
39.04.280(3). Specifically, this will allow City departments to respond to natural disasters and other such
emergencies efficiently without the requiring prior Council approval to make respective purchases, etc.
Committee members were supportive of the addition to the TMC regarding emergency declarations (item
number 2). However, they felt additional full Council discussion was needed for increasing the limit of
purchases requiring Council approval. Therefore, this item will move forward to Council without a
Committee recommendation. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 13 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
City of Tukwila
Finance and Safety Committee
B. Cascade Water Alliance Bond Sale Resolution and Continuing Disclosure Agreement
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign two certificates
relating to the 2009 Cascade Water Alliance (CWA) bond.
Finance Safety Committee Minutes July 7, 2009 Paae 2
Cascade Water Alliance will be issuing approximately $96 million dollars in bonds for the purchase of
Lake Tapps and for the settlement of water rights issues. As a member of Cascade Water, the City of
Tukwila must give approval to continue providing disclosure of certain information which is required by
the bond purchase agreement as well as provide financial and operating information for CWA's official
statement.
Rates already include repayment of this debt, meaning this item will not result in an additional increase in
water rates. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 13 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Proceeds Distribution Hold Harmless Agreement for Sale of Jail Administrative Group (JAG) Property
Staff is seeking full Council authorization for the Mayor to sign a Proceeds Distribution and Hold
Harmless Agreement with the City of Bellevue for the recent sale of the Jail Administrative Group owned
property located in Bellevue.
Originally purchased jointly by JAG cities, this property is no longer needed for its intended purpose and
was sold earlier this year. In order to receive the funding disbursement from this sale, all JAG cities must
sign this Proceeds Distribution and Hold Harmless Agreement. This Agreement establishes the
appropriate use of proceeds and consequences for misuse. It is estimated that the City of Tukwila will
received approximately $287,000, all of which will be utilized for expenses relative to the SCORE jail
(this funding must be used for jail purposes). UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 13
COW FOR DISCUSSION.
D. Fire Department
Staff is seeking full Council approval to purchase mass casualty supplies (including: tools, trailers,
equipment and medical supplies) from various vendors in the amount of $222,053.35.
The funding for this purchase will come from the Fire Equipment Cumulative Reserve (Fund 107).
Several years ago Sound Transit provided mitigation of approximately $1.5 million to the City for Fire
Department purchases relative to the light rail project. The Fire Department has utilized portions of the
mitigation to purchase such items as an aerial truck, fire hose and equipment all of which will assist with
emergency responses involving link light rail. Approximately $328,000 remains from the original
mitigation payment.
Committee members requested several clarifications be made to the information memo which will go to
full Council:
Clarify the funding mechanism as South Transit mitigation funds
Provide a grand total of the funds being requested reflecting the complete expenditure
Give a brief history which shows the amount of funding the City received from Sound
Transit, and what items have been purchased and respective costs.
Staff further explained the rotation schedule for mass casualty supplies and equipment specifications and
that state approved bidders' list. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 13 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
E. Sales Tax Report: April 2009
Shawn Hunstock reviewed the April Sales Tax Report, noting that numbers showed a minimal
improvement. Sales tax receipts continue to be below budget for the year. If receipts continue to remain at
this level, the City may need to consider other options for addressing such financial issues.
