ISSUE
Approve refunding of the Arterial Street Fund 104 portion of the General Obligation Bonds
2003.
BACKGROUND
The City issued general obligation bonds in 2003 to finance Arterial Street Fund 104 capital

allocated to the Arterial Street Fund 104; the outstanding balance of this bond issue being

refunding feasible, the bond pricing and sale will occur on December 12, 2011.

the 2003 General Obligation bonds at the November 28, 2011 Committee of the Whole Council

Bond Registrar's powers and duties under this ordinance and City's Registration
Ordinance.
The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its representations contained in the

become either a Registered or Beneficial Owner of Bonds with the same rights it would

Registrar shall not be obligated to exchange or transfer any Bond during the 15 days
preceding any principal payment or redemption date.
D. DTC and the Book Entry System. The Bonds initially shall be registered in
the name of Cede Co., as the nominee of DTC. The Bonds so registered shall be
held in fully immobilized form by DTC as depository in accordance with the provisions of
the Letter of Representations. Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall have any
responsibility or obligation to DTC participants or the persons for whom they act as
nominees with respect to the Bonds regarding accuracy of any records maintained by
DTC or DTC participants of any amount in respect of principal of or interest on the
Bonds, or any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Registered Owners
hereunder (except such notice as is required to be given by the Bond Registrar to DTC).

successor depository shall be deemed to be the Registered Owner for all purposes
hereunder and all references to registered owners, bondowners, bondholders or the like
shall mean DTC or its nominee and, except for the purpose of the City's undertaking
herein to provide continuing disclosure, shall not mean the Beneficial Owners.

W: Word Processing \Ordinances\2003 Bond Refunding 11 -22- 2011 -final
PM:mrh Page 7 of 19
55
transferred except: (i) to any successor of DTC or its nominee, if that successor shall
be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the services proposed to be provided
by it; (ii) to any substitute depository appointed by the City or such substitute
depository's successor; or (iii) to any person if the Bonds are no longer held in
immobilized form.
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 City that it no
longer wishes to continue the system of book entry transfers through DTC or its
successor (or any substitute depository or its successor), the City may 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.
If (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 City
determines that the Bonds are to be in certificated form, the ownership of Bonds may be
transferred to any person as provided herein and the Bonds no longer shall be held in
fully immobilized form.
Section 6. Form and Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be prepared in a
form consistent with the provisions of this ordinance and State law and shall be signed
by the Mayor and 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.
Only Bonds bearing a Certificate of Authentication in 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 Refunding
Bonds, 2011, 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.
If any officer whose manual or facsimile signature appears on the Bonds ceases to
be an officer of the City authorized to sign bonds before the Bonds bearing his or her
manual or facsimile signature are authenticated or delivered by the Bond Registrar or
issued by the City, those Bonds 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 the date of issuance of the Bonds.
Section 7. Payment of Bonds. Both principal of and interest on the Bonds shall
be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. For as long as the Bonds
are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, payment of principal of and interest
on the Bonds shall be made in the manner set forth in the Letter of Representations. If
the Bonds cease to be in book entry-only form, interest on the Bonds shall be paid by
W: Word Processing \Ordinances\2003 Bond Refunding 11 -22- 2011 -final
PM:mrh Page 8 of 19
56
checks or drafts of the Bond Registrar mailed on the interest payment date to the
Registered Owners at the addresses appearing on the Bond Register on the 15th day of
the month preceding the interest payment date or by electronic transfer on the interest
payment date. The City shall not be required to make electronic transfers except to a
Registered Owner of Bonds pursuant to a request in writing (and at the sole expense of
that Registered Owner) received at least 10 days before an interest payment date.
Principal of the Bonds shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds
by the Registered Owners to the Bond Registrar.
Section 8. Redemption Provisions and Open Market Purchase of Bonds.
A. Optional Redemption. The Designated Representative may approve the
designation of certain maturities of the Bonds as being subject to redemption at the
option of the City prior to their respective maturities on the dates and at the prices set
forth in the Bond Purchase Contract. The Designated Representative may also, in his
or her discretion, approve the designation of certain maturities of the Bonds as not
being subject to redemption prior to maturity. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this ordinance, if the final maturity of the Bonds is more than 10 Y2 years after the
Closing Date, the Bonds then outstanding shall be subject to optional redemption on at
least one date that occurs less than 10 Y2 years after the Closing Date.
B. Term Bonds. The Designated Representative may approve the designation
of certain maturities of the Bonds as Term Bonds, as set forth in the Bond Purchase
Contract. The City shall redeem Term Bonds, if not previously redeemed under any
optional redemption provisions or purchased and surrendered for cancellation under the
provisions set forth below, at a price of par plus accrued interest on the annual
redemption dates and in annual redemption amounts approved by the Designated
Representative. If the City redeems under the optional redemption provisions,
purchases in the open market or defeases Term Bonds, the par amount of the Term
Bonds so redeemed, purchased or defeased (irrespective of their actual redemption or
purchase prices) shall be credited against one or more scheduled mandatory
redemption amounts for those Term Bonds. 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 maturity of Term
Bonds for which notice of redemption has not already been given.
C. Partial Redemptions. Portions of the principal amount of any Bond, in any
Authorized Denomination, may be redeemed. If less than all of the 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 maturity and interest rate in any Authorized
Denomination in the aggregate principal amount remaining unredeemed.
D. Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If fewer than all of the outstanding
Bonds within a maturity are to be redeemed prior to maturity, selection of Bonds for
redemption shall be randomly within a maturity in such manner as the Bond Registrar
shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for as long as the Bonds are registered
W: Word Processing \Ordinances\2003 Bond Refunding 11 -22- 2011 -final
PM:mrh Page 9 of 19
57
in the name of DTC or its nominee, selection of Bonds for redemption shall be in
accordance with the Letter of Representations.
E. Notice of Redemption. While the Bonds are held by DTC in book -entry only
form, any notice of redemption shall be given at the time, to the entity and in the manner
required by DTC in accordance with the Letter of Representations, and the Bond
Registrar shall not be required to give any other notice of redemption. If the Bonds
cease to be in book -entry only form unless waived by any Registered Owner of the
Bonds to be redeemed, the City shall cause notice of any intended redemption of Bonds
to 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
of any Bond to be redeemed at the address appearing on the Bond Register at the time
the Bond Registrar prepares the notice, and the requirements of this sentence shall be
deemed to have been fulfilled when notice has been mailed as so provided, whether or
not it is actually received by the Registered or Beneficial Owner of any Bond.
In the case of an optional redemption, the notice may state that the City retains the
right to rescind the redemption notice and the related optional redemption of Bonds 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 the Bonds for which the notice of optional
redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding.
In addition, the redemption notice shall be mailed or sent electronically within the
same period to the MSRB, consistent with the Undertaking, to any nationally recognized
rating agency which at the time maintains a rating on the Bonds at the request of the
City, 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 Bonds.
F. Effect of Redemption. Interest on Bonds called for redemption shall cease to
accrue on the date fixed for redemption, except in the case of a rescinded optional
redemption as described above, or unless the Bond or Bonds called are not redeemed
when presented pursuant to the call.
G. Open Market Purchase. The City further reserves the right and option to
purchase any or all of the Bonds in the open market at any time at any price acceptable
to the City plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.
H. Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds purchased or redeemed under this section

Section 11. Refunding of the Refunded Bonds.
A. Appointment of Refunding Trustee. U.S. Bank National Association of
Seattle, Washington, is hereby appointed Refunding Trustee.
B. Authorization for Refunding Trust Agreement. The Designated
Representative and the Mayor are each independently authorized to execute and
deliver to the Refunding Trustee a Refunding Trust Agreement, which sets forth duties,
obligations and responsibilities of the Refunding Trustee in connection with the
Refunding Plan, provisions for payment of the fees, compensation and expenses of
such Refunding Trustee, and such other provisions as may be necessary so that the
Bonds are in compliance with the requirements of federal law governing the exclusion of
interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
C. Use of Bond Proceeds. Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds in the amount
sufficient to carrying out the Refunding Plan shall be deposited immediately upon the
receipt thereof with the Refunding Trustee and used to discharge the obligations of the
City relating to the Refunded Bonds under the Refunded Bond Ordinance by providing
for the payment of the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan. Such
obligations shall be discharged fully by the Refunding Trustee's simultaneous purchase
of Acquired Obligations, bearing such interest and maturing as to principal and interest
in such amounts and at such times so as to provide, together with a beginning cash
balance, if necessary, for the payment of the amounts required to be paid by the
Refunding Plan. The Acquired Obligations shall be listed and more particularly
described in the Refunding Trust Agreement, but are subject to substitution as set forth
below. The Designated Representative is authorized and directed to approve the
Acquired Obligations to be purchased. The Designated Representative also is
authorized, in his or her discretion, to cause the City to transfer to the Refunding
Trustee, for purposes of accomplishing the Refunding Plan, all or a portion of the money

Obligations, the City reserves the right to substitute other noncallable, nonprepayable
direct obligations of the United States of America "Substitute Obligations for any of
W: Word Processing \Ordinances\2003 Bond Refunding 11 -22- 2011 -final
PM:mrn Page 11 of 19
59
the Acquired Obligations and to use any savings created thereby for any lawful City
purpose if, (i) in the opinion of Bond Counsel the interest on the Bonds and the
Refunded Bonds will remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes under Sections 103, 148 and 149(d) of the Code, and (ii) such substitution
shall not impair the timely payment of the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding
Plan, as verified by a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm.
After the purchase of the Acquired Obligations by the Refunding Trustee, the City
reserves the right to substitute therefor cash or Substitute Obligations subject to the
conditions that such money or securities held by the Refunding Trustee shall be
sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan, that such substitution will not cause the
Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148
of the Code and regulations thereunder in effect on the date of such substitution and
applicable to obligations issued on the Closing Date, and that the City obtain, at its
expense: (i) a verification by a nationally recognized independent certified public
accounting firm confirming that the payments of principal of and interest on the
Substitute Obligations, if paid when due, and any other money held by the Refunding
Trustee will be sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan; and (ii) an opinion from Bond
Counsel to the effect that the disposition and substitution or purchase of the Substitute
Obligations, under the statutes, rules and regulations then in force and applicable to the
Bonds, will not cause the interest on the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to be included in
gross income for federal income tax purposes and that such disposition and substitution
or purchase is in compliance with the statutes and regulations applicable to the Bonds
and the Refunded Bonds. Any surplus money resulting from the sale, transfer, other
disposition or redemption of the Acquired Obligations and Substitute Obligations
therefor shall be released from the Refunding Trustee and transferred to the City to be
used for any lawful City purpose.
E. Administration of Refunding Plan. The Refunding Trustee is authorized and
directed to purchase the Acquired Obligations (or Substitute Obligations) and to make
the payments required to be made by the Refunding Plan from the Acquired Obligations
(or Substitute Obligations) and money deposited with the Refunding Trustee pursuant to
this ordinance. All Acquired Obligations (or Substitute Obligations) and money
deposited with the Refunding Trustee and any income therefrom shall be held
irrevocably, invested and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Refunded
Bond Ordinance, this ordinance, chapter 39.53 RCW and other applicable laws of the
State and the Refunding Trust Agreement. All necessary and proper fees,
compensation and expenses of the Refunding Trustee and all other costs of carrying
out the Refunding Plan and issuing the Bonds, including bond printing, rating service
fees, verification fees, Bond Counsel's fees and other related expenses, shall be paid
out of the proceeds of the Bonds.
F. Call for Redemption of Refunded Bonds. Effective upon the City's initial
delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter in exchange for the purchase price thereof, the
City calls for redemption on December 1, 2013, all of the Refunded Bonds at the price
of par plus accrued interest. Such call for redemption shall be irrevocable once it
becomes effective. The date on which the Refunded Bonds are herein called for
redemption is the first date on which those bonds may be called. The Refunding

Trustee is authorized and directed to give or cause to be given such notices as
required, at the times and in the manner required, pursuant to the Refunded Bond
Ordinance and the Refunding Trust Agreement in order to effect the redemption of the
Refunded Bonds prior to their stated maturity dates.
G. Additional Findings and Determinations with Respect to the Refunding.
Prior to the execution of the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Designated Representative
must determine, on behalf of the City, that the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds
will effect a net present value savings to the City and its taxpayers of at least 3.00% as
set forth in Section 4 hereof. The City Council finds and determines that such net
present value savings is a substantial savings and that achieving such net present value
savings by issuing the Bonds is in the best interest of the City. In making such finding
and determination, the City Council has given consideration to the fixed maturities of the
Bonds and the Refunded Bonds, the costs related to the issuance, sale and delivery of
the Bonds and the known earned income from the investment of the proceeds of the
issuance and sale of the Bonds used in the Refunding Plan pending payment and
redemption of the Refunded Bonds.
The City Council further finds and determines that the money to be deposited with
the Refunding Trustee for the Refunded Bonds in accordance with this Section 11 will
discharge and satisfy the obligations of the City under the Refunded Bond Ordinance
with respect to the Refunded Bonds, and the pledges, charges, trusts, covenants and
agreements of the City therein made or provided for as to the Refunded Bonds, and that
the Refunded Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding under the Refunded
Bond Ordinance immediately upon the deposit of such money with the Refunding
Trustee.
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 at any time during the term of the Bonds which 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, including the calculation and payment of any penalties that
the City has elected to pay as an alternative to calculating rebatable arbitrage, and the
payment of any other penalties if required under Section 148 of the Code to prevent
interest on the Bonds from being included in gross income for federal income tax
purposes. The Designated Representative is authorized and directed to adopt and
implement on behalf of the City procedures to facilitate compliance by the City with the
covenants in this Section 12(A) and the applicable requirements of the Code that must
be satisfied after the issue date to maintain the tax exemption for interest on the 2003A
Bonds and the Bonds after the Closing Date.

meaning of Section 141 of the Code; (ii) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax
exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds and other obligations not required
to be included in such calculation) which 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 Bonds are issued will not exceed
$10,000,000; and (iii) 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 are issued does not
exceed $10,000,000. The City designates the Bonds as "qualified tax exempt
obligations" for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
Section 13. Refunding or Defeasance of the Bonds. The City may issue

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.

11. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Advertising Agreement: Seattle Southside and Bonneville International
Staff is seeking Council approval to enter into a multi -year agreement with Bonneville International for
multi -media (on -line and radio) advertising for Seattle Southside Visitor Services (SSVS) in an amount
not to exceed $84,000.
This advertising campaign will run November 2011 through December 2012, and is funded jointly by
SSVS cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, Kent and Des Moines. Both Tukwila Lodging Tax Advisory Board and
SeaTac Hotel Motel Tax Advisory Committee have reviewed and approved this agreement. All costs for
this agreement are funded through lodging tax funds and not general fund monies. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Re- Funding: 2003 General Obligation Bonds
Staff is seeking Council approval to re -fund general obligation bonds from 2003 (original amount of
$12,050,000) that were issued for arterial street capital improvements, South Park Bridge transfer and the
golf course clubhouse.
Decreasing interest rates have made it more cost effective for the City to refinance/re -fund bonds such as
these from 2003. Re- funding the remaining amount of the bonds will save the City approximately
$337,000. There was brief discussion at the Committee of possibly paying off the bonds for the golf
course, and only re- funding the arterial streets portion. Staff commented that regardless of the Council's
decision, the golf course bonds cannot be paid off until December 1, 2013. However, re- funding could
include options with callable bonds and other possibilities.
Committee Members requested that Finance staff provide a table that identifies the options for what can
be done with the bonds relative to the golf course and explain it in greater detail at the upcoming Budget
Work Session on Tuesday, September 27, 2011. NO COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION.
FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Pavoff: Early Redemption of 1995 Revenue Bonds
As information only, staff updated Committee on an item that was previously reviewed by Utilities
Committee and is moving forward for Council discussion on September 26, 2011.
Staff is seeking Council approval for an early redemption of Revenue Bonds originally issued for
$4,500,000 from 1995. If approved, this early redemption will result in the payoff of the revenue bonds
three years earlier than scheduled. The payoff face value is currently $1,370,000 and the early payoff will

d. Non profit fee analysis for Revenue Generating Regulatory License (RGRL).
Councilmember Hougardy indicated this item was discussed at the Finance and Safety Committee
meeting on September 20, 2011. The committee members forwarded this item to the Committee of the
Whole for discussion.
Jennifer Ferrer, Senior Fiscal Coordinator, explained the Finance and Safety Committee members
requested additional information from staff regarding revenue impacts from the Revenue Generating
Regulatory License (RGRL) if the City removed the exemption status for non profit agencies with certain
employee count thresholds.
The Councilmembers asked clarifying questions of staff and exchanged comments to include: retaining
the non profit exemption for businesses with fewer than 100 employees; having staff provide the Council
with data on real -time impacts to the City to include methods to mitigate those impacts; recognizing that
non profit organizations should be accountable for their share of infrastructure mitigation; ensuring the
legislation is approved by the City Attorney; acknowledging that all businesses should be addressed
uniformly regarding the RGRL fee; and including the definition of a non profit organization in the
ordinance.
Council President Ekberg asked staff to provide information to the Council on tax contributions the City
receives from the top 2 non profit businesses within the City.
Mayor Haggerton asked the Council to thoroughly review this issue and allow staff enough time to
properly notify the businesses of a possible change.
COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO HAVE STAFF RETURN TO A FUTURE FINANCE AND SAFETY
COMMITTEE MEETING WITH A DRAFT ORDINANCE.
e. An ordinance regarding refunding 2003 bonds.
Councilmember Hougardy indicated this item was discussed at the Finance and Safety Committee
meeting on September 20, 2011. The committee members were unanimous in recommending approval.
Peggy McCarthy, Acting Finance Director, explained that in 2003, the City issued $12,050,000 of limited
tax general obligation bonds to finance arterial street improvements and the construction of the golf
course clubhouse. The proposed refunding would set aside sufficient funds from the refunding proceeds
to pay off the bonds outstanding at December 1, 2013, the earliest call date. The City would realize a
savings estimated at $354,651.95 or 4.878% of the refunded bonds with $281,442.17 realized from the
arterial street fund portion of the bond issue and $136,209.78 realized from the golf course portion of the
bond issue.
The Councilmembers exchanged comments and asked clarifying questions of staff on the above topic.
COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO RETURN THIS ITEM TO A FUTURE COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE MEETING.
