AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. I a"
For Meeting Of 5/21/2002
ITEM TITLE: An Ordinance of the City of Yakima, Washington amending Ordinance No. 97-
29 and the terms of the City's Limited Tax General Obligation Bond - Line of Credit, 1997.
SUBMITTED BY: Department of Finance & Budget
a_
CONTACT PERSON /TELEPHONE: Rita Anson, Finance Director 575 -607
Tim Jensen, Treasury Services Officer 5 5 070
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: This Council action will extend the City's existing $5,000,000
Limited Tax General Obligation Revolving line of credit from it's original maturity date of
June 1St 2002 to June 1St, 2007. The Line of Credit is used to make 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 would be available for short -term "bridge financing" to begin
larger projects prior to traditional bonding. The current balance of the line is $88,500, owed by
the Irrigation Division. If Council approves this ordinance, the $88,500 balance will roll over to
the extended line of credit. During the 5 years that the City has maintained the current line, the
total outstanding balance has never been over one -half million dollars.

Line of Credit Agenda Statement (Cont.)
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 establish a five million dollar line of credit with Key Bank
• Interest rate is 100% of 1 -year LIBOR, (London Inter Bank Offer Rate, currently 2.70625 %);
rate resets each June 1St
• Interest due annually, any outstanding balance due June 1St, 2007
• Full Faith and Credit of the City of Yakima is pledged
• Prepayment of any outstanding principal balance allowed on any reset date without
penalty
• Only outstanding amounts effect the City's debt capacity
Documents enclosed:
• Amending Ordinance (blacklined for ease of comparison)
• Bank Commitment Letter
• 1997 ordinance 97 -29
Conclusion:
Staff believes this transaction is in the best interest of the City of Yakima and recommends
passage of this Ordinance extending the Line of Credit Bond.
