S UMMARY EXPLANATION: .
At their June 2, 2009 business meeting, City Council approved Lease and Development
agreements with the Yakima Regional Public Facilities District (PFD) for a transaction that gave
the PFD a leasehold interest in the Capitol Theatre. That leasehold interest is the legal
underpinning that allowed the PFD to pledge all of their .025% Sales Tax Credit to the City to use
as a source of debt service for bonds to be issued to help fund improvements, rehabilitation and
expansion of the Capitol Theatre. This Ordinance, if approved by Council, will authorize the City
staff to take all necessary actions to issues these bonds, within the general form and terms
contained in the Ordinance. (Such actions include authorization of: Preliminary Official Statement,
Official Statement, final terms of the Bonds and of the Sale /Purchase Agreement with the City's
underwriter, and approve all other acts necessary to complete the transaction.)

Council previously approved the Capitol Theatre project through a Policy Issue passed with the
2008 Budget. Bond proceeds are expected to provide approximately $7.2 million with related
debt service, at a market rate of 4.35%, is estimated to be approximately $500,000 annually.
Revenue from the Sales Tax credit is expected to generate approximately $480,000 annually in
the early years to $700,000 annually in later years. (Note: debt service may be structured to be somewhat
less in the early years and more in the later years to provide for potential fluctuations in the sales tax revenues.)
On the June 2, .2009, the Executive Director of the Capitol Theatre provided staff with a project
update which included plans to utilize proceeds from this bond issue to fund the following
components of the project: J
• Construction of a Production Center ($6.5M);
• Construction of an 2 "d Floor Patio and Catwalk ($380K);
• • Capitol Theatre Electrical work ($200K), and
• Sound Doors (140K)
Based on current project timelines and financial market conditions, staff anticipates selling the
bonds in mid to late July 2009. Since the exact date of the bond sale can not be'determined at
this time, this Ordinance delegates authority to 'approve the final Bond Purchase /Sale Agreement,
other bond documents and all other acts necessary to complete the transaction to the City
Manager and /or the Finance Director.. With the volatility in the bond market currently, it is -
important;to have the authority to sell bonds when the . market permits the sale at the lowest
possible cost, whatever day that might be. Staff will return to Council with a complete report 110,
the sale at the next scheduled meeting after the bond sale.

• definitive Bonds, to issue Bonds as herein provided in any authorized denomination. Upon

Bonds of the same date, maturity and interest rate, in any authorized denomination. The
Bond Registrar shall not be obligated to register the transfer or to exchange any Bond during the
15 days preceding any interest payment or principal payment date any such Bond is to be
redeemed.

-12- P: 120358 DG\20358 0K7 06/11/09
• the Bonds shall be paid by check or draft mailed to the Registered Owners at the addresses for
such Registered Owners appearing on the Bond Register on the fifteenth day of the month

Section 12 of this ordinance.
(b) Purchase of Bonds. The City reserves the right to purchase any of the Bonds
offered to it at any time at a price deemed reasonable by the Director of Finance and Budget.
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. For as long as the Bonds are held in
book -entry only form, the selection of particular Bonds within a maturity to be redeemed shall be
made in accordance with the operational arrangements then in effect at DTC. If the Bonds are no
longer held in uncertificated form, the selection of such Bonds to be redeemed and the surrender
and reissuance thereof, as applicable, shall be made as provided in the following provisions of
this subsection (c). If the City redeems at any one time fewer than all of the Bonds having the
same maturity date, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed
• shall be selected by lot (or in such manner determined by the Bond Registrar) in increments of
-13- P: 120358_DG120358_0K7 06/11/09
$5,000. In the case of a Bond of a denomination greater than $5,000, the City and the Bond •
Registrar shall treat each Bond as representing such number of separate Bonds each of the
denomination of $5,000 as is obtained by dividing the actual principal amount of such Bond by
$5,000. In the event that only a portion of the principal sum of a Bond is redeemed, upon
surrender of such Bond at the principal office of the Bond Registrar there shall be issued to the
Registered Owner, without charge therefor, for the then unredeemed balance of the principal sum
thereof, at the option of the Registered Owner, a Bond or Bonds of like maturity and interest rate
in any of the denominations herein authorized.

operational arrangements of DTC as then in effect, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar •
will provide any notice of redemption to any beneficial owners. Thereafter (if the Bonds are no
longer held in uncertificated form), notice of redemption shall be given in the manner hereinafter
provided. Unless waived by any owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any such
redemption (which redemption may be conditioned by the Bond Registrar on the receipt of
sufficient funds for redemption or otherwise) 'shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of
the City by mailing a copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail at least 30 days and
not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered Owner of the Bond
or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Register or at such other address as is
