Item No. 11.
For Meeting of: August 21, 2018
Ordinance authorizing the issuance and sale of a Limited Tax
General Obligation (LTGO) and Refunding Bond by the City
related to the construction of an aquatic facility; and refunding the
City's outstanding 2015 LTGO Sports Complex Bond; and
paying costs of issuance of the Bond; and providing the form of the
bond; and authorizing the sale of the bond to Banner Bank
Ana Cortez, Assistant City Manager
Tara Lewis, Financial Services Manager
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
On October 27, 2015, Council adopted Resolution No. R-2015-128 and on May 1, 2018 Council
adopted Resolution R-2018-042 (amending the 2015 Resolution) to participate with the Yakima
YMCA in the development, operation and maintenance of an Aquatic Center.
Under the terms of the agreements, the City has committed $8 million toward the construction of
the Aquatic Center. Construction of the facility has begun and on June 5, 2018, Council approved
an I nterfund Loan to the Parks Capital fund from the Wastewater Capital fund to begin paying the
City's share of the construction until external financing could be obtained.
Several proposals were obtained from various banks that had expressed an interest in
financing City projects. The best overall offer was from Banner Bank, in terms of interest rate,
repayment schedule, flexibility of early repayment options, no issuance fee and a small legal
fee. Banner Bank offered a full 26 -year fixed rate term that, when combined with the early
repayment options, greatly reduces the interest rate risk to the City associated with a long term
financing.
Banner Bank's proposal also included the refinancing of the 2015 LTGO Bond currently held by
Cashmere Valley Bank on the City's share of the SOZO Sports Complex soccer fields. The
2015 Bond is currently subject to a reset of the interest rate every 5 years and will mature in 2035.
These interest rate reset dates expose the City to a certain amount of interest rate risk each time
the rate is reset. Banner's fixed rate proposal will alleviate this risk by fixing the interest rate for the
remaining term of the debt.
2
To alleviate the risk that interest rates may go down in the future, the proposal allows for the City
to refinance the Bond at any time without a penalty.
The financing offer by Banner Bank is an optimal financing solution for the City's commitment to
the Aquatic Center and it contains the added benefit of refinancing the 2015 Bond at more
favorable terms than the current debt. The terms of the proposal are included in the Bond
Ordinance. Upon passage, the Bond Ordinance would become effective in 30 days. Closing will
be scheduled for September 20, 2018 upon which date the 2015 bond will be refunded, the
interfund loan will be repaid, bond closing costs will be paid and the remaining bond funds will be
held for disbursement to the contractor as invoices become due and are approved for payment.

authorized to act as Bond Registrar. The Bond Registrar is authorized, on behalf of the City, to

10
purpose or entitled to the benefits of this ordinance. Such Certificate of Authentication shall be
conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been duly executed, authenticated and
delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this ordinance.
In case either of the officers who shall have executed the Bond shall cease to be an
officer or officers of the City before the Bond so signed shall have been authenticated or
delivered by the Bond Registrar, or issued by the City, such Bond may nevertheless be
authenticated, delivered and issued and upon such authentication, delivery and issuance, shall
be as binding upon the City as though those who signed the same had continued to be such
officers of the City. The Bond may also be signed and attested on behalf of the City by such
persons who at the date of the actual execution of the Bond, are the proper officers of the City,
although at the original date of such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer of
the City.
Section 7. Application of Bond Proceeds; Plan of Refunding.
(a) The City shall establish a fund designated the Project Fund (the "Project Fund")
into which a portion of the proceeds of the Bond shall be deposited. Money in the Project Fund

fees of the Purchaser in the amount of $3,000).
(b) For the purpose of debt service savings, the City proposes to refund the 2015
Bond as set forth herein. A portion of the proceeds of the Bond in the amount necessary to
prepay the 2015 Bond, in whole, plus any prepayment premium, fee or penalty, shall be

payment of principal of or interest on the Bond becomes due, the City shall transmit sufficient
funds, from the Bond Fund or from other legally available sources, to the Bond Registrar for
transfer to the Registered Owner for the payment of such principal or interest. Money in the
Bond Fund may be invested in legal investments for City funds.
The City hereby irrevocably covenants and agrees for as long as the Bond is
outstanding and unpaid that each year it will include in its budget and levy an ad valorem tax
upon all the property within the City subject to taxation in an amount that will be sufficient,
together with other revenues and money of the City legally available for such purposes, to pay
the principal of and interest on the Bond when due.
The City hereby irrevocably pledges that the annual tax provided for herein to be levied
for the payment of such principal and interest shall be within and as a part of the tax levy
permitted to cities without a vote of the people, and that a sufficient portion of each annual levy
to be levied and collected by the City prior to the full payment of the principal of and interest on
the Bond will be and is hereby irrevocably set aside, pledged and appropriated for the payment
of the principal of and interest on the Bond. The full faith, credit and resources of the City are

payment of the principal of and interest on the Bond when due.
Section 9. Right of Prepayment. The City may prepay the Bond in whole or in part
on any date, upon at least 15 days written notice to the Purchaser, without payment of any
prepayment fee, penalty, additional interest or charges. A partial prepayment shall not change
the semiannual payment amount due, but such amount will be applied to the final maturity of the
Bond which may result in an earlier final maturity date.
Section 10. Sale of the Bond. The Bond shall be sold to the Purchaser pursuant to
the terms of this ordinance and the Purchaser's Proposal. The City hereby accepts the
Purchaser's Proposal, and selects "Option 1" as described in such Proposal. Each Designated
Representative is hereby authorized to execute the Proposal on behalf of the City and is further
authorized to approve the final principal amount of the Bond and to agree to any other terms,
conditions and covenants that are in the best interest of the City and in accordance with this
ordinance so long as the principal amount of the Bond does not exceed $12,600,000.
The appropriate City officials, including but not limited to the City Clerk, the City Mayor,
the City Manager, the Assistant City Manager, the City Financial Services Manager, and the
Director of Finance and Budget (including any Acting or Interim Director of Finance and
Budget), are hereby authorized and directed to sign such documents, certificates and
agreements and to do everything necessary for the prompt issuance, execution and delivery of
the Bond, the prepayment of the 2015 Bond, and for the proper application and use of the
proceeds thereof to carry out the purpose of this ordinance.

agrees as follows:
(1) To provide the Purchaser copies of the City's audited financial statements
within a reasonable time after it becomes available; and

be reasonably requested from time to time.

destroyed while in the Registered Owner's possession, the Bond Registrar may at the request
of the Registered Owner execute and deliver a new Bond of like date, number and tenor to the
Registered Owner thereof upon the Registered Owner's paying the expenses and charges of
the City and the Bond Registrar in connection therewith and upon its filing with the City written
certification that such Bond was actually lost, stolen or destroyed and of its ownership thereof.

the other provisions of this ordinance or of the Bond. All acts taken pursuant to the authority
granted in this ordinance but prior to its effective date are hereby ratified and confirmed.
