consistent with the provisions of this ordinance and State law. Each Bond shall be
signed by the Mayor and the City Clerk, either or both of whose signatures may be
manual or in facsimile, and the seal of the City or a facsimile reproduction thereof shall
be impressed or printed thereon. If any officer whose manual or facsimile signature
appears on a Bond ceases to be an officer of the City authorized to sign bonds before
the Bond bearing his or her manual or facsimile signature is authenticated by the Bond
Registrar, or issued or delivered by the City, that Bond nevertheless may be
authenticated, issued and delivered and, when authenticated, issued and delivered,
shall be as binding on the City as though that person had continued to be an officer of
the City authorized to sign bonds. Any Bond also may be signed on behalf of the City
by any person who, on the actual date of signing of the Bond, is an officer of the City
authorized to sign bonds, although he or she did not hold the required office on its Issue
Date.
(b) Authentication. Only a Bond bearing a Certificate of Authentication in
substantially the following form, manually signed by the Bond Registrar, shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this ordinance: "Certificate Of
Authentication. This Bond is one of the fully registered City of Tukwila, Washington,
Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, 2015, described in the Bond Ordinance." The
authorized signing of a Certificate of Authentication shall be conclusive evidence that
the Bond so authenticated has been duly executed, authenticated and delivered and is
entitled to the benefits of this ordinance.
Section 7. Payment of Bonds. Principal of and interest on each Bond shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Principal of and interest on

Section 8. Funds and Accounts; Deposit of Proceeds.
(a) Bond Account. The 2015 Bond Account is created within the City's general
obligation bond repayment fund for the sole purpose of paying principal of and interest
on the Bonds. Bond proceeds in excess of the amounts needed to pay the costs of the
Project and the costs of issuance, if any, shall be deposited into the Bond Account. All
amounts allocated to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be
deposited in the Bond Account as necessary for the timely payment of amounts due
with respect to the Bonds. The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be paid out
of the Bond Account. Until needed for that purpose, the City may invest money in the
Bond Account temporarily in any legal investment, and the investment earnings shall be
retained in the Bond Account and used for the purposes of that fund.
(b) Project Fund. The Project Fund has been previously created as a fund of the
City for the purpose of paying the costs of the Project. Proceeds received from the sale
and delivery of the Bonds shall be deposited into the Project Fund and used to pay the
costs of the Project and costs of issuance of the Bonds. Until needed to pay such
costs, the City may invest those proceeds temporarily in any legal investment, and the
investment earnings shall be retained in the Project Fund and used for the purposes of
that fund, except that earnings subject to a federal tax or rebate requirement (if
applicable) may be withdrawn from the Project Fund and used for those tax or rebate
purposes.
Section 9. Redemption Provisions and Purchase of Bonds.
(a) Optional Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption at the option
of the City on terms acceptable to the Designated Representative, as set forth in the
Bond Purchase Agreement, consistent with the parameters set forth in Exhibit A.
(b) Mandatory Redemption. Each Bond that is designated as a Term Bond in the
Bond Purchase Agreement, consistent with the parameters set forth in Exhibit A and
except as set forth below, shall be called for redemption at a price equal to the stated
principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, on the dates and in the
amounts as set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement. If a Term Bond is redeemed
under the optional redemption provisions, defeased or purchased by the City and
surrendered for cancellation, the principal amount of the Term Bond so redeemed,
defeased or purchased (irrespective of its actual redemption or purchase price) shall be
credited against one or more scheduled mandatory redemption installments for that
Term Bond. The City shall determine the manner in which the credit is to be allocated
and shall notify the Bond Registrar in writing of its allocation prior to the earliest
mandatory redemption date for that Term Bond for which notice of redemption has not
already been given.
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption; Partial Redemption. If fewer than all of
the outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed at the option of the City, the City shall select
the Series and maturities to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds of
a maturity of a Series are to be redeemed, the Securities Depository shall select Bonds
W- Word Processing\Ordinances\[-TGO Bonds-Road construction projects 2-23-15
PM:bjs Page 8 of 14
M1
registered in the name of the Securities Depository to be redeemed in accordance with
the Letter of Representations, and the Bond Registrar shall select all other Bonds to be
redeemed randomly in such manner as the Bond Registrar shall determine. All or a
portion of the principal amount of any Bond that is to be redeemed may be redeemed in
any Authorized Denomination. If less than all of the outstanding principal amount of any
Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of that Bond to the Bond Registrar, there shall be
issued to the Registered Owner, without charge, a new Bond (or Bonds, at the option of
the Registered Owner) of the same Series, maturity and interest rate in any Authorized
Denomination in the aggregate principal amount to remain outstanding.
(d) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption of each Bond registered in the
name of the Securities Depository shall be given in accordance with the Letter of
Representations. Notice of redemption of each other Bond, unless waived by the
Registered Owner, shall be given by the Bond Registrar not less than 20 nor more than
60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the
Registered Owner at the address appearing on the Bond Register on the Record Date.
The requirements of the preceding sentence shall be satisfied when notice has been
mailed as so provided, whether or not it is actually received by an Owner. In addition,
the redemption notice shall be mailed or sent electronically within the same period to
the MSRB (if required under the Undertaking), to each Rating Agency, and to such
other persons and with such additional information as the Finance Director shall
determine, but these additional mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the
redemption of any Bond.
(e) Rescission of Optional Redemption Notice. In the case of an optional
redemption, the notice of redemption may state that the City retains the right to rescind
the redemption notice and the redemption by giving a notice of rescission to the affected
Registered Owners at any time prior to the scheduled optional redemption date. Any
notice of optional redemption that is so rescinded shall be of no effect, and each Bond
for which a notice of optional redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding.
(f) Effect of Redemption. Interest on each Bond called for redemption shall
cease to accrue on the date fixed for redemption, unless either the notice of optional
redemption is rescinded as set forth above, or money sufficient to effect such
redemption is not on deposit in the Bond Account or in a trust account established to
refund or clefease the Bond.
(g) Purchase of Bonds. The City reserves the right to purchase any or all of the
Bonds offered to the City at any time at any price acceptable to the City plus accrued
interest to the date of purchase.
Section 10. Failure To Pay Bonds. If the principal of any Bond is not paid when
the Bond is properly presented at its maturity or date fixed for redemption, the City shall
be obligated to pay interest on that Bond at the same rate provided in the Bond from
and after its maturity or date fixed for redemption until that Bond, both principal and
interest, is paid in full or until sufficient money for its payment in full is on deposit in the
VV: Word Processing\Ordinances\LTGO Bonds-Road construction projects 2-23-15
PM:bjs Page 9 of 14
65
Bond Account, or in a trust account established to refund or defease the Bond, and the
Bond has been called for payment by giving notice of that call to the Registered Owner.
Section 11. Pledge of Taxes. The Bonds constitute a general indebtedness of
the City and are payable from tax revenues of the City and such other money as is
lawfully available and pledged by the City for the payment of principal of and interest on
the Bonds. For as long as any of the Bonds are outstanding, the City irrevocably
pledges that it shall, in the manner provided by law within the constitutional and
statutory limitations provided by law without the assent of the voters, include in its
annual property tax levy amounts sufficient, together with other money that is lawfully
available, to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due. The
full faith, credit and resources of the City are pledged irrevocably for the prompt
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and such pledge shall be
enforceable in mandamus against the City.
Section 12. Tax Covenants; Designation of Bonds as "Qualified Tax Exempt
Obligations."
(a) Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on Bonds. The City covenants
that it will take all actions necessary to prevent interest on the Bonds from being
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take any
action nor make or permit any use of proceeds of the Bonds or other funds of the City
treated as proceeds of the Bonds that will cause interest on the Bonds to be included in
gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City also covenants that it will, to
the extent the arbitrage rebate requirements of Section 148 of the Code are applicable
to the Bonds, take all actions necessary to comply (or to be treated as having complied)
with those requirements in connection with the Bonds.
(b) Post-issuance Compliance. The Finance Director is authorized and directed
to review and update the City's written procedures to facilitate compliance by the City
with the covenants in this ordinance and the applicable requirements of the Code that
must be satisfied after the Issue Date to prevent interest on the Bonds from being
included in gross income for federal tax purposes.
(c) Designation of Bonds as "Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations." A Series of
the Bonds may be designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for the purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, if the following conditions are met:
(1) the Series does not constitute "private activity bonds" within the meaning of
Section 141 of the Code-,
(2) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds and other obligations not required to be included in such
calculation) that the City and any entity 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) will issue during the calendar
year in which the Series is issued will not exceed $10,000,000; and
W: Word Processing\Ordinances\LTGO Bonds-Road construction projects 2-23-15
PM:bjs Page 10 of 14
M.-
(3) the amount of tax-exempt obligations, including the Series, 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 Series is issued does not exceed
$10,000,000.
Section 13. Refunding or Defeasance of the Bonds. The City may issue
refunding bonds pursuant to State law or use money available from any other lawful
source to carry out a refunding or defeasance plan, which may include.-
(a) paying when due the principal of and interest on any or all of the Bonds (the
"defeased Bonds");
(b) redeeming the defeased Bonds prior to their maturity; and
(c) paying the costs of the refunding or defeasance.
If the City sets aside in a special trust fund or escrow account irrevocably pledged to
that redemption or defeasance (the "trust account"), money and/or Government
Obligations maturing at a time or times and bearing interest in amounts sufficient to
redeem, refund or defease the defeased Bonds in accordance with their terms, then all
right and interest of the Owners of the defeased Bonds in the covenants of this
ordinance and in the funds and accounts obligated to the payment of the defeased
Bonds shall cease and become void. Thereafter, the Owners of defeased Bonds shall
have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds
solely from the trust account and the defeased Bonds shall be deemed no longer
outstanding. In that event, the City may apply money remaining in any fund or account
(other than the trust account) established for the payment or redemption of the
defeased Bonds to any lawful purpose.
Unless otherwise specified by the City in a refunding or defeasance plan, notice of
refunding or defeasance shall be given, and selection of Bonds for any partial refunding
or defeasance shall be conducted in the manner prescribed in this ordinance for the
redemption of Bonds.
Section 14. Sale and Delivery of the Bonds.
(a) Manner of Sale of Bonds; Delivery of Bonds. The Designated
Representative is authorized to sell each Series of the Bonds by negotiated sale or

winning bid and accept the winning bidder's offer to purchase that Series of the Bonds,

formality or irregularity in any bid or in the bidding process if the Designated
Representative deems it to be in the City's best interest to do so. If all bids are rejected,
that Series of the Bonds may be sold pursuant to negotiated sale or in any manner
provided by law as the Designated Representative determines is in the best interest of
the City, within the parameters set forth in this ordinance.

Representative shall review and, if acceptable to him or her, approve the preliminary

Purchaser's compliance with paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 15c2-12, if applicable, the
Designated Representative is authorized to deem that preliminary Official Statement
final as of its date, except for the omission of information permitted to be omitted by
Rule 15c2-12. The City approves the distribution to potential purchasers of the Bonds
of a preliminary Official Statement that has been approved by the Designated
