By way of background, a $3.3 million revenue bond issue was included in
the adopted 2006 -2011 Capital Improvement Program as a funding source
for the Allentown/Foster Point Sewer Project. As this project also includes
water and surface water improvements, the debt will be spread

The City has retained the services of Hugh Spitzer, Foster Pepper, as bond
counsel and Sean Keatts, Lehman Brothers, as bond underwriter. Both
individuals and their respective firms have worked with the City in the past
and each are highly regarded in the municipal finance community.
The schedule of activity as it now stands is to work through the committee
process on October 16 and 17, obtain the committees' recommendation to
forward to the Council of the Whole meeting on October 23, and close with
Council adoption of the bond ordinance on November 6. Final pricing of the
bonds will occur on November 6 and bond proceeds will be distributed to
the City on November 20. Both Hugh and Sean will attend, make
presentations, and respond to Council inquiries at the October 23rd and
November 6th meetings.
Attached to this memorandum are (2) documents. The first (Attachment A)
is a very preliminary bond debt service schedule. The bond repayment will
be structured over a 20 -year term with level debt service. Please note that
market conditions may change the amount of the bonds slightly as we draw
closer to the issue date. The second document (Attachment B) is a draft bond
ordinance.
In closing, I look forward to the meetings next week.

pumping facilities, force mains and 14,100 lineal feet of 8" gravity sewer mains.
The primary purpose of the Plan of Additions is to replace 60+ year old failing
septic tanks. The Plan of Additions includes:
(1) Sewer main installation and Location of a lift station in each
neighborhood;
(2) Street widening with ditch and storm drain improvements with
new catch basins;
(3) Water line improvements to meet fire flow regulations; and
(4) Replacement of curb, gutters, and sidewalks along one arterial

to be ${3,500,000], all of which is expected to be financed from the proceeds of water and sewer
revenue bonds and other obligations of the City. The Plan of Additions may be modified to
include other improvements if the City determines by ordinance that those amendments or other
improvements constitute a system or plan of additions to and betterments and extensions of the
Waterworks Utility.

arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. If the required reserve is
deposited in the Reserve. Account, interest earned on any such investment or on such bank
deposit in the Reserve Account attributable to the Bonds or Future Parity Bonds shall be
deposited into the Principal and Interest Account and used to pay the next interest or principal

except that the charge and lien on the gross revenue of the Waterworks Utility for the Bonds
shall be on a parity with the charge and lien thereon for the Outstanding Parity Bonds and any
Future Parity Bonds.

the property of the Waterworks Utility that is used, useful and material to the
operation thereof, unless provision is made for the replacement thereof, or for

shall not be less than an amount which shall bear the same ratio to the amount of
outstanding bonds payable out of the Bond Fund as the revenue of the
Waterworks Utility available for debt service for such outstanding bonds for the
twelve months preceding such sale, lease, encumbrance or disposal from the
portion of the Waterworks Utility sold, leased, encumbered or disposed of bears
to the revenues available for debt service for such bonds from the entire

The City further covenants that it has not been notified of any listing or proposed listing
by the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it is a bond issuer whose arbitrage certifications
may not be relied upon.
Section 15. Small Governmental Issuer Arbitrage Rebate Exception and Designation
of Bonds as "Oualified Tax Exempt Obligations." The City finds and declares that (a) it is a
duly organized and existing governmental unit of the State of Washington and has general taxing
power; (b) no Bond which is part of this issue of Bonds is a "private activity bond" within the
meaning of Section 141 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code (c) at least 95% of the net proceeds of the Bonds will be used for local governmental
activities of the City (or of a governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the
jurisdiction of the City); (d) the aggregate face amount of all tax- exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds and other obligations not required to be included in such calculation)
issued by the City and all entities subordinate to the City (including any entity that the City
controls, that derives its authority to issue tax exempt obligations from the City, or that issues
tax- exempt obligations on behalf of the City) during the calendar year in which the Bonds are
issued is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000; and (e) the amount of tax- exempt
obligations, including the Bonds, designated by the City as "qualified tax- exempt obligations"
for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code during the calendar year in which the Bonds

Bonds as "qualified tax- exempt obligations" for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
Section 16. Parity Provisions. The City covenants and agrees with the owner of each
Bond payable from the Bond Fund at that time outstanding that it will not issue any Future Parity
Bonds unless it shall first satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 19 of Ordinance No. 1676,
which section is by reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof and shall be applicable
15
to the Bonds so long as any of the same are outstanding. Nothing herein contained shall prevent
the City from issuing water and sewer revenue bonds or other obligations which are a charge
upon the gross revenue of the Waterworks Utility junior or inferior to the payments required to
be made therefrom into the Bond Fund for the payment of the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the
Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds.
Section 17. Refunding or Defeasance of Bonds. The City may issue refunding bonds
pursuant to the laws of the State of Washington or use money available from any other lawful
source to pay when due or callable the principal of and interest on the Bonds, or any portion
thereof included in a refunding or defeasance plan, and to redeem and retire, refund or defease all
such then- outstanding Bonds (hereinafter collectively called the defeased Bonds and to pay
the costs of the refunding or defeasahce. If money and/or direct obligations of the United States
of America maturing at a time or times and bearing interest in amounts (together with money, if
necessary) sufficient to redeem and retire, refund or defease the defeased Bonds in accordance
with their terms are set aside in a special trust fund or escrow account irrevocably pledged to that
redemption, retirement or defeasance of defeased Bonds (hereinafter called the "trust account

and in the funds and accounts obligated to the payment of the defeased Bonds shall cease and
become void. The owners of defeased Bonds shall have the right to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds from the trust account. The City shall include in
the refunding or defeasance plan such provisions as the City deems necessary for the random
selection of any defeased Bonds that constitute less than all of a particular maturity of the Bonds,
for notice of the defeasance to be given to the owners of the defeased Bonds and to such other
persons as the City shall determine, and for any required replacement of Bond certificates for
defeased Bonds. The defeased Bonds shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and the City may
apply any money in any other fund or account established for the payment or redemption of the
defeased Bonds to any lawful purposes as it shall determine.
If the Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, notice of any defeasance
of Bonds shall be given to DTC in the manner prescribed in the Letter of Representations for
notices of redemption of Bonds.

earnings subject to a federal tax or rebate requirement may be withdrawn from the Construction
Fund and used for those tax or rebate purposes.

Finance Safety Committee
October 16, 2006 5:00 p.m.
Present: Pam Carter, Chair; Jim Haggerton and Verna Griffin, Councilmembers.
Rhonda Berry, City Administrator; Kevin Fuhrer Director of Finance; Jim Morrow,
Director of Public Works; Bob Giberson, Acting City Engineer; Gail Labanara, Public
Works Analyst; Lori Sutter, Assistant Police Chief; Darrell Baskin, Assistant Police Chief;
Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator; Katherine Kertzman, Program
Director of Seattle Southside Visitor Center; and Diane Jenkins, Administrative Assistant to
the City Council.
Business Agenda
A. Annual write -off of accounts receivable and return write -offs
Mr. Fuhrer referred to the annual proposed resolution to write off $17,778.30 in accounts
receivables which have been deemed to be uncollectible. There are three different categories, false
alarms, miscellaneous, and returned checks. These accounts have been turned for collection. The
City does not have the authority to withhold a business license if a business owes the City money.
Ms. Berry noted that there are restrictions as to what can be evaluated in order to issue a business
license. It is usually code related. Mr. Fuhrer suggested reviewing the City's current fee structure
for false alarms and evaluating fee increases and providing incentive to those businesses which pay
the fines in a timely manner. Mr. Fuhrer continued and noted that when a check is returned,
departments are notified to no longer accept checks from these individuals. Ms. Carter inquired
about the $5,000 being written off. Mr. Fuhrer explained the City suffered property damage and
the owner's car was totaled as a result of her vehicle being stolen; both parties were victims.
Ms. Carter surmised that approximately $14,000 is related to damage to City property.
Unanimous approval. Forward to 10/16 regular meeting.
B. Allentown/Foster Point revenue bond issuance
Mr. Fuhrer explained that the City is planning on issuing $3.3 million in bonds as a funding source
for the Allentown/Foster Point Sewer Project. This information will also be shared with members
of the Utilities Committee. Representatives from Foster Pepper (bond counsel) and Lehman
Brothers (bond underwriters) will be present at the October 23 Committee of the Whole and
November 6 Regular Council meeting to make presentations and respond to questions. He
reviewed the process for the pricing and selling of bonds. Mr. Fuhrer noted that sewer will be
paying the largest portion, however, water and surface management will also pay a share.
Ms. Carter noted that it would be helpful to include information on the 1993 bond which was paid
off this fall in the budget. Mr. Fuhrer related that the principal amount of the bond will change
depending on market conditions, closing costs, and bond insurance. He pointed out, though, that it
may be possible to draw down on'the bond reserve to keep this issuance a little smaller. It is
feasible to end up with $3.3 million yet only issue $3.2 million in bonds. Ms. Carter asked that
Hugh Spitzer, bond counsel, review the responsibilities of council members during his
presentation. Unanimous approval. Forward to 10/23 Committee of the Whole meeting.
C. Continuation of review of 2007 uronosed budget and CIP
The Finance and Safety Committee reviewed the following pages of the 2007 Proposed Budget and
Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Mr. Fuhrer highlighted changes from last year and
responded to questions of the council members.
Utilities Committee
October 17, 2006 5:00 p.m.
Present: Jim Haggerton, Chair; Pam Linder and Verna Griffin, Council members.
Jim Morrow, Director of Public Works; Frank Iriarte, Deputy Director; Bob Giberson,
Acting City Engineer; Pat Brodin, Operations Manager; Mike Cusick, Senior Engineer;
Ryan Larson, Senior Engineer; Gail Labanara, Public Works Analyst; Diane Jenkins,
Administrative Assistant to the Council, and Chuck Parrish, community member.
qc Business Agenda
A. Allentown/Foster Point Sewer Revenue Bonds
Mr. Morrow explained that the City is planning on issuing $3.3 million in bonds as a funding
source for the Allentown/Foster'•Point Sewer Project. This information was also shared with
members of the Finance Safety Committee. Mr. Fuhrer noted that representatives from Foster
Pepper (bond counsel) and Lehman Brothers (bond underwriters) will be present at the
October 23 Committee of the Whole and November 6 Regular Council meeting to make
presentations and respond to questions. Mr. Fuhrer reviewed the process for the pricing and
selling of bonds. He noted that sewer will be paying the largest portion, however, water and
surface management will also pay a share. Also, the 1993 bond was retired this fall and he will
include information on this bond in the budget. Mr. Morrow conveyed that the project is going
well. More connections are being requested for water and sewer than originally planned and
those connections are only being provided to legal lots. Unanimous approval. Forward to
10/23 Committee of the Whole meeting.
B. Water and Sewer Rates for 2007
Mr. Morrow distributed a copy of "Single Family Sewer Waste Water Rates, October 2006."
Ms. Linder noted that, in the past, the city subsidized these rates. The Council realized it needed
to seek increases in incremental steps rather than one huge increase. Ms. Labanara noted that
there is a proposed 3% rate increase for water. There has not been a water increase since 2000.
Mr. Morrow noted that the water department and Enterprise Fund had a goal to reduce the loss of
water. Due to the efforts of the crews, a 15% water loss rate in 2005 dropped to 4.6% because of
the replacement of worn out pipes and having the necessary equipment to identify potential
problems. Ms. Griffin asked about the differences between water and fire lines. Mr. Cusick
replied fire lines are not metered. Ms. Labanara noted that fire line charges have not been
increased since 1996. Ms. Labanara then noted that King County sewer treatment is proposing a
9.17% increase and that fee will be passed through to the residents. The City of Tukwila's flat
monthly sewer fee factored in a 10% increase. This will put the City of Tukwila in the middle in
comparison with other cities. Mr. Haggerton requested that both the old and new City
ordinances be included in the packet for review by the Council. There are no increases planned
for surface water. Unanimous approval. Forward to Regular Council for approval.
