BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
, AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No I. ZS
For Meeting Of 4/17/2007
ITEM TITLE An Ordinance of the City of Yakima, Washington amending Ordinance No 97-
29, as currently amended by Ordinance 2002 -31, and the terms of the City's Limited Tax
General Obligation Bond - Line of Credit, 1997
SUBMITTED BY Rita DeBord, Finance Direct I
CONTACT PERSON /TELEPHONE Tim Jensen, Tre. , services Officer 575 -6070
SUMMARY EXPLANATION Council's passage of this Ordinance will extend the City's
existing $5,000,000 Limited Tax General Obligation Revolving line of credit from it's maturity
date of June 1St 2007 to June 1St, 2012. The Line of Credit is used to make relatively small
borrowings when traditional bond financing is not cost effective The proceeds are drawn
down as needed, rather than in a lump sum as in traditional bonding. For instance it has been
used in the past to finance the construction of the Probation Center and various Irrigation
Division capital improvements. Additionally it is available for short -term "bridge financing"
to begin larger projects prior to traditional bonding, as was the case with the remodel of the
West Valley Fire Station.
The current outstanding balance of the credit line is $544,569, $500,000 of which will be repaid
from the LTGO bonds currently being issued. The remaining$44,569 owed by the Parks
Division for the paving of the parking lot at Chesterly Park - a $20,000 payment on the Parks

COUNCIL ACTION Ordinance passed. ORDINANCE NO. 2007-19
Line of Credit Agenda Statement (Cont.)
project is planned for June 1, 2007 If Council approves this ordinance, the $24,569 balance will
roll over to the extended line of credit. During the 5 years that the City has maintained the
current line of credit, the total outstanding balance has never been greater than the current
amount.
Procedure:
The procedure required to accomplish this bond issue and line of credit is very simple
compared to traditional bond financing, because this bond is being sold to only one
sophisticated investor and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 does not apply This bond
is not transferable Approval of the new Bond Ordinance, amending the original Ordinance
No 97 -29 (attached) will give the Finance Director authority to enter into this agreement.
Highlights of borrowing:
• Authority to extend the current five million dollar line of credit with Key Bank out to June
1, 2012
• Interest rate at the time of each draw would be one - month, two - month, three -month or six -
month LIBOR plus 2.12 %, times 65 at the City's discretion (i.e six -month London Inter
Bank Offer Rate, currently 5.36% plus 2.12 %times 65, for a net of 4.87 %), rate resets at the
term option chosen at the time of the draw
• Interest due annually on June 1st, any outstanding principal balance due June 1St, 2012
• Full Faith and Credit of the City of Yakima is pledged
• Prepayment of any outstanding principal balance is allowed on any reset date without
penalty
• Only outstanding amounts effect the City's debt capacity
• The City will pay the Bank a $5,000 initiation fee plus up to $2,000 in bank legal fees upon
closing
