• Sixth, to retire by redemption or purchase in the open
market any outstanding •revenue bonds of the City, to make
necessary additions, improvements and repairs to or exten-
sions and replacements of the System, or for any other lawful

Section 7. Revenue Bond Fund. A special fund of the City,
to be known as the Water and Sewer Revenue Bond Fund, 1983 (the
"Revenue Bond Fund"), is hereby created in the Office of the
Treasurer of the City and shall be drawn upon for the sole purpose
of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
A. Principal and Interest Payments. As long as any of the
Bonds remain outstanding, the City hereby irrevocably obligates
and binds itself to set aside and pay from the Revenue Fund into
the Revenue Bond Fund those amounts which, with any other moneys
on hand and available therefor, are necessary to pay the interest
or principal and interest next coming due on the Bonds then
outstanding. Such payments from the Revenue Fund shall be made on
or before the twentieth day of each month as follows:
(1) Beginning with the month of March, 1983, and
continuing for as long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and
unpaid, an amount which, with other moneys available therefor in
the Revenue Bond Fund, will be equal to at least one-sixth (1/6)
of the interest to become due and payable on the next interest
payment date on the Bonds then outstanding.
(2) Beginning with the month of March, 1983, and
11 continuing for as long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and
1
-10- WMD17 83/02/09
unpaid, an amount which, with other moneys available therefor in
the Revenue Bond Fund, will be equal to at least one-twelfth
(1/12) of the principal of the Bonds to become due and payable on
the next principal payment date.
B. Payments into Reserve Account. A Reserve Account is
• hereby created in the Revenue Bond Fund for the purpose of secur-
ing the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
The City covenants and agrees that it will set aside and pay into
the Reserve Account out of the Gross Revenues of the System or any
other moneys legally available for such purpose approximately
equal monthly installments commencing not later than the month of
March, 1983, and continuing through the month of February, 1988,
in an aggregate amount equal to the average annual debt service on
the Bonds.
The City further covenants and agrees that when the required
amounts have been deposited in the Reserve Account, it will at all
times maintain those amounts therein until there is a sufficient
amount in the Revenue Bond Fund and Reserve Account to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Bonds then
outstanding, at which time the money in the Reserve Account may be
used to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest.
The City further covenants and agrees that after said five-
year period it will, from time to time, if necessary, set aside
and pay into the Reserve Account out of the Gross Revenues of the
System, or out of any other funds legally available therefor, such
amounts as may be necessary to provide an aggregate amount in the
• reserve accounts securing the payment of the Outstanding Parity
Bonds and the Bonds at least equal to the debt service on such
bonds in the next succeeding calendar year.
In the event there shall be a deficiency in the Revenue Bond
10 Fund to meet maturing installments of either interest on or
11
-11- WMD17 83/02/09
•
principal of and interest on the Bonds then outstanding, such
deficiency shall be made up from the Reserve Account by the
withdrawal of moneys therefrom. Any deficiency created in the
Reserve Accounts by reason of any such withdrawal shall then be
made up out of the Gross Revenues of the System first available
• therefor after making necessary provision for the payments
required to be made by paragraphs First through Third inclusive of
Section 6 hereof.
C. Priority of Lien of Payments into Revenue Bond Fund.
The amounts so pledged to be paid into the Revenue Bond Fund and
the Reserve Account therein are hereby declared to be a prior lien
and charge upon the Gross Revenues of the System superior to all
other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever (including any
transfer of money to other funds of the City and taxes or payments
in lieu of taxes) except the Costs of Maintenance and Operation
and equal in priority to the lien and charge upon such Gross
Revenues of the System for the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Outstanding Parity Bonds and equal in priority to
the lien and charge which may hereafter be made to pay and secure
the payment of the principal of and interest on any Future Parity
Bonds.
D. Investment of Moneys in Revenue Bond Fund. Moneys in
the Revenue Bond Fund and Reserve Account may be invested as
permitted by law. Investments in the Revenue Bond Fund other than
the Reserve Account shall mature prior to the date on which such
money shall be needed for required interest or principal payments.
• Investments in the Reserve Account shall mature not later than the
last maturity of any of the Bonds then outstanding. All interest
earned and income or profits derived by virtue of investments of
moneys in the Revenue Bond Fund, other than moneys in the Reserve
10 Account; shall remain in the Revenue Bond Fund and be used to meet
10
-12- WMD17 83/02/09
the required deposits into any account therein. All interest
earned and income or profits derived by virtue of the investment
of moneys in the Reserve Account shall be deposited in and become
a part of the Reserve Account until there shall be an amount
therein equal to the average annual debt service on the Bonds
• after which such interest, income and profits shall be deposited
in and become a part of the Revenue Bond Fund.
E. Sufficiency of Revenues. The Council hereby finds and
declares that in fixing the amounts to be paid into the Revenue
Bond Fund and the Reserve Account out of the Gross Revenues of the
System, it has exercised due regard for the Costs of Maintenance
and Operation and for the amounts required to pay and secure the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Outstanding Parity
Bonds and has not obligated the City to set aside and pay into
such Fund and Account a greater amount of such Gross Revenues than
in its judgment will be available over and above the Costs of
Maintenance and Operation and the principal of and interest on the
Outstanding Parity bonds.
Section 8. Defeasance of the Bonds. In the event that money
and/or "Government Obligations," as such obligations are now or
hereafter defined in RCW Ch. 39.53 or its successor statute,
maturing or having guaranteed redemption prices at the option of
the holder at such time or times and bearing interest to be earned
thereon in such amounts as are sufficient (together with any
resulting cash balances) to redeem and retire part or all of the
Bonds in accordance with their terms, are hereafter irrevocably
set aside in a special account and pledged to effect such redemp-
tion and retirement, then no further payments need be made into
the Revenue Bond Fund or any account therein for the payment of
the principal of and interest on the certain bonds so provided for
10 and such bonds and appurtenant coupons shall then cease to be
-13- WMD17 83/02/09
entitled to any lien, benefit or security of this ordinance,
except the right to receive the funds so set aside and pledged,
and such bonds and appurtenant coupons shall no longer be deemed
to be outstanding hereunder.
Section 9. Disposition of Proceeds of Sale of the Bonds.
The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds (except accrued interest,
which shall be paid into the Revenue Bond Fund) shall be deposited
and applied as follows:
First, into the Note Redemption Fund in an amount
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the
outstanding Notes issued pursuant to Ordinance No. 2260.
Second, into the Project Fund to be used for the sole
purpose of paying the costs of the Project, for repaying any
advances or loans which may have been made to the Project
Fund from other funds of the City and which were used for
paying part of the cost of the Project, and for paying the
expenses incidental to the issuance of the Bonds.
Any bond proceeds remaining in the Project Fund after payment
of the foregoing costs and expenses shall be deposited in the
Reserve Account of the Revenue Bond Fund.
Section 10. Bond Covenants. The City hereby covenants and
agrees with the owner and holder of the Bonds for as long as any
of the same remain outstanding as follows:
A. For as long as the Outstanding Parity Bonds remain

nance of the System, (b) to pay the principal of and interest

Section 11. Issuance of Future Parity Bonds. The City
hereby further covenants and agrees with the owners and holders of
each of the Bonds for as long as any of the same remain outstand-
ing that the City will not issue any bonds or other obligations
having a greater or equal priority of lien upon the Gross Revenues
of the System to pay and secure the payment of the principal of
and interest on such bonds than the priority of lien created on
such Revenues to pay and secure the payment of the principal of
and interest on the Parity Bonds except as follows:
A. The City reserves the right to issue Future Parity.Bonds
for the purposes of
First, providing funds to acquire, construct, recon-
struct, install, or replace any equipment, facilities,
additions, betterments, or other improvements to the System
for which it is authorized by law to issue revenue bonds, or
Second, refunding at or prior to their maturity any
revenue bond anticipation notes or outstanding revenue bonds
or other obligations payable out of the Gross Revenues of the
System,
and to pledge that payments will be made out of the Gross Revenues
of the System of the principal of and interest on such Future
Parity Bonds on a parity with the payments required to be made out
11/ of such revenue into the Outstanding Revenue Bond Funds and
-18- WND17 83/02/09
Revenue Bond Fund and Reserve Account to pay and secure the
payment of the principal of and interest on any Parity Bonds then
outstanding, only upon compliance with the following conditions:
1. For so long as any Outstanding Parity Bonds issued
prior to 1978 remain outstanding, the requirements of sub-
paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below shall be met and complied with at
411 the time of issuance of any Future Parity Bonds and sub-
paragraphs 5 and 6 shall not apply. At such time as no
Outstanding Parity Bonds issued prior to 1978 remain out-
standing, the City may issue Future Parity Bonds only if the
requirements stated in subparagraph 2, 4, 5 and 6 herein
shall be met and complied with, and subparagraph 3 shall not
longer apply.
2. At the time of the issuance of any Future Parity
Bonds all payments currently required by Ordinances 475, 986,
1971, 2231, this ordinance and all ordinances authorizing the
issuance of Future Parity Bonds to pay and secure the payment
of all of the bonds issued pursuant to such ordinances shall
have been made.
3. The annual Net Revenues of the System based upon
the historical experience of the entire System or the pro
forma revenues under the then existing rates over a period of
any twenty-four consecutive months out of the thirty-six
months immediately preceding the date of issuance of such
Future Parity Bonds will equal at least 1.40 times the
maximum amount of principal and interest required to be paid
in any calendar year thereafter with respect to all indebt-
edness of the City to be outstanding immediately following
the issuance of such Future Parity Bonds payable solely from
the revenues of the System. Such determination of the
411 sufficiency of the revenues shall be made and certified to by
411
-19- WMD17 83/02/09
•
an independent registered professional engineer experienced
in municipal utilities.
In the event such Future Parity Bonds are for the sole
purpose of refunding Outstanding Parity Bonds, the Bonds or
Future Parity Bonds, such certification of coverage need not
be obtained if the amount required each year to pay the
principal of and interest on such refunding bonds is less
than or equal to the amount required to pay the principal of
and interest on the bonds to be refunded thereby and the
• maturities of said refunding bonds do not extend beyond the
• maturities of the bonds to be refunded thereby.
4. The ordinance authorizing the issuance of the
Future Parity Bonds shall provide that an amount equal to the
average annual debt service on such Future Parity Bonds shall
• be accumulated as a reserve in the bond redemption fund
created for said Future Parity Bonds or in a separate reserve
fund, said amount to be accumulated within five years after
the date of issuance of said Future Parity Bonds by substan-
tially equal annual payments, and said reserve to be main-
tained in such amount so long as any of said Future Parity
Bonds are outstanding.
Such ordinance shall also covenant that after said
five-year period, the City shall, from time to time, if
necessary, set aside and pay into such reserve out of the
Gross Revenues of the System or out of any other funds
legally available therefor such amounts as may be necessary
to provide an aggregate amount in the reserve accounts
securing the payment of the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the
Bonds, and any Future Parity Bonds at least equal to the next
succeeding year's debt service on such bonds.
-20- WMD17 63/02/09
5. If there are Assessments pledged to be paid into a
warrant or bond redemption fund for revenue bonds or warrants
being refunded by Future Parity Bonds, the ordinance autho-
rizing the Future Parity Bonds shall require such Assessments
to be paid into the bond redemption fund therein created.
6. Prior to the delivery of any Future Parity Bonds
411 the City shall have on file in the office of the Clerk of the
City a certificate of an independent professional engineer or
certified public accountant, dated not earlier than 90 days
prior to the date of delivery of the Future Parity Bonds,
showing that the Net Revenues of the System determined and
adjusted as hereafter provided for each calendar or fiscal
year after the issuance of such Parity Bonds (the "Adjusted
Net Revenue"), together with Assessment Income, will be equal
to at least 1.40 times the maximum amount required in any
such year for the payment of the principal of and interest on
all Parity Bonds then outstanding, including the Future
Parity Bonds proposed to be issued.
The "Adjusted Net Revenue" shall be the Net Revenues of
the System for a period of any twelve consecutive months out
of the twenty-four months immediately preceding the date of
delivery of such Future Parity Bonds as adjusted by such
engineer or accountant to take into consideration changes in
Net Revenues of the System estimated to occur under the
following conditions for each year after such delivery for so
long as any Parity Bonds, including the Future Parity Bonds
proposed to be issued, shall be outstanding:
a. the additional Net Revenues of the System
which would have been received if any change in rates
and charges adopted prior to the date of such certifi-
cate and subsequent to the beginning of such twelve-
-21- WMD17 83/02/09
month period, had been in force during the full twelve-
month period;
b. the additional Net Revenues of the System
which would have been received if any facility of the
System which became fully operational after the begin-
ning of such twelve-month period and prior to the date
of such certificate had been so operating for the entire
period;
c. the additional Net Revenues of the System
estimated by such engineer or accountant to be received
as a result of any additions, betterments and improve-
ments to and extensions of any facilities of the System
which (1) are under construction at the time of such
certificate, or (2) will be constructed from the pro-
.
ceeds of the Future Parity Bonds proposed to be issued;
and
d. the additional Net Revenues of the System
which would have been received if any customers added to
the System during such twelve-month period were cus-
tomers for the entire period.
Such engineer or accountant shall base his certification
upon, and his certificate shall have attached thereto,
financial statements of the System certified by the City
Treasurer showing income and expenses for the period upon
which the same is based. The certificate of such Engineer or
Accountant shall be conclusive and the only evidence required
to show compliance with the provisions and requirements of
this subsection 6.
Notwithstanding the foregoing requirement, if Future
Parity Bonds are to be issued for the purpose of refunding at
or prior to their maturity any part or all of the then
-22- WMD17 83/02/09
outstanding Parity Bonds and the issuance of such refunding
Parity Bonds will result in a debt service savings and does
not require an increase of more than $5,000 in any year for
principal and interest on such refunding Parity Bonds, the
certificate required by this subsection 6 need not be
obtained.
B. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City from
issuing revenue bonds or other obligations which have a lien and
charge upon the Gross Revenues of the System junior or inferior to
the payments required by this ordinance to be made out of such
revenues to pay and secure the payment of the Parity Bonds.
C. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City from
issuing revenue bonds to refund maturing Parity Bonds for the
payment of which moneys are not otherwise available.
Section 12. Lost or Destroyed Bonds. In case any Parity
bond(s) or any coupon(s) thereof shall be lost, stolen or
destroyed, the City may execute and the Treasurer of the City may
deliver a new bond or bonds and a coupon or coupons of like date,
number and tenor to the holder thereof upon the holder's paying
the expenses and charges of the City in connection therewith and
upon his filing with the Treasurer of the City evidence satis-
factory to said Treasurer that such bond or coupons were actually
lost, stolen, or destroyed, and of his ownership thereof, and upon
furnishing the City with indemnity satisfactory to the Treasurer.

Sewer Revenue Bonds, 1983" shall be in substantially the following
