repairs and upgrades to the pool and related facilities owned and operated by the
Tukwila Metropolitan Park District. RCW 35.61.290, 36.61.300 and 67.20.010 authorize

chapters 35.37 RCW, 39.46 RCW and other applicable law, the City is authorized to
issue general obligation bonds for the purpose of financing the Project. The total
expected cost of the Project is approximately $1,666,666, which is expected to be made
up of proceeds of the Bonds and other available money of the City or the Tukwila
Metropolitan Park District.

ordinance is $1,100,000. Based on the following facts, this amount is to be issued
within the amount permitted to be issued by the City for general municipal purposes
without a vote-
1. The assessed valuation of the taxable property within the City as
ascertained by the last assessed valuation of the taxable property in the City is
$4,660,649,637 for the collection year 2012.
2. As of November 1, 2012, the City has limited tax general obligation
indebtedness, consisting of bonds and leases outstanding in the principal amount of
$21,011,400, which is incurred within the limit of up to 1'/2% of the value of the taxable
property within the City permitted for general municipal purposes without a vote.
3. As of November 1, 2012, the City has no unlimited tax general obligation
indebtedness for capital purposes only for general municipal purposes; for City-owned
water, artificial light, and sewers; or for acquiring or developing open space, park
facilities, and capital facilities associated with economic development.

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.

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. While a Bond is held in book-entry form by the Securities Depository or
its nominee, selection of the principal portion of any Bond to be partially redeemed shall
be done in accordance with the Letter of Representations. If a Bond ceases to be held
in book-entry form by the Securities Depository or its nominee, the portion to be partially
redeemed shall be selected randomly in such manner as the Bond Registrar shall
determine.
D. Notice of Redemption. While a Bond is registered in the name of the
Securities Depository, notice of redemption shall be given as required in accordance
with the Letter of Representations_ If a Bond ceases to be held in book-entry form by
the Securities Depository or its nominee, unless waived by the Registered Owner of the
Bond to be redeemed, the City shall cause notice of an 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 each Bond to be redeemed at the address appearing on the Bond Register on the
Record Date_ The requirements of the preceding sentence shall be satisfied when

Owner of any Bond. In addition, the redemption notice shall be mailed or sent

each Rating Agency, and to such other persons and with such additional information as
W:Word Processing\Ordinances\Bond issuance 2012 for MPD 11-26-12
vc:bjs Page 9 of 13
139
the Finance Director shall determine, but these additional mailings shall not be a
condition precedent to the redemption of a Bond.

accrue on the date fixed for redemption.
F. Open Market Purchase. The City reserves the right to purchase any or all of

presented at its maturity date 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 date 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 Bond Fund
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 repaying 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 levy amounts sufficient, together
with other money that is lawfully available, to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds
as the same becomes 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.
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.
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 Section 12 and the applicable requirements of the Code that
must be satisfied after the issue date to maintain the tax treatment of the Bonds and the
receipt of interest thereon.
C. Designation of Bonds as "Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations." The Bonds
shall be designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for the purposes of Section
265(b)(3) of the Code, if the following conditions are met-
W:Word Processing\Ordinances\Bond issuance 2012 for MPD 11-26-12
vc:bjs Page 10 of 13
140
1. the Bonds are not "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) 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
3. 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.
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 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.
While a Bond is registered in the name of the Securities Depository, notice of any
defeasance shall be given in the manner prescribed in the Letter of Representations for
