The estimated cost of the acquisition, construction and installation of the Plan of the Improvements is declared to be, as nearly as may be, the amount of $602,000 in Unit A and $70,000 in Unit B, and such estimated costs shall be met and defrayed from the proceeds received from the issuance and sale of water and sewer revenue bonds of the City in the total amount of approximately $672,000. Such water and sewer revenue bonds shall be supported by assessments to be levied and assessed against properties specially benefited by the improvements to be included in one or more utility local improvement districts authorized to be created pursuant to the provisions of RCW 35.43.042. Section 2. The City shall issue one or more series of water and sewer revenue bonds at such times as the City Council shall deem advisable. Such revenue bonds shall bear such designation as the City Council hereafter shall determine; shall be issued in such series; shall be in such form; shall bear such date or dates and interest rate or rates; shall be payable at such place or places; i shall mature at such time or times;.shall have such option or options of paying prior to maturity; shall guarantee such coverage and collection of rates; shall provide for such additional funds and accounts; and shall contain and be subject to such provisions or covenants as hereafter shall be provided by ordinance. The bonds shall be sold in such manner as the City Council shall deem to be in the best interest of the City. The bonds shall be payable from the gross revenues of the Waterworks Utility and from the receipt of payments of assessments levied in Utility Local Improvement District No. 137 herein created to support the payment of the bonds herein authorized to be issued and any parity bonds hereafter issued. Section 3. In the judgment of the City Council, the gross revenues and benefits to be derived from the operation and maintenance of the Waterworks Utility and the Improvements herein provided, at the rates to be charged for utility services furnished, will be more than sufficient to meet all expenses of operation and maintenance thereof, debt service on outstanding Waterworks Utility obligations and to permit the setting aside into a special fund, out of the gross revenues of the Waterworks Utility in addition to the special assessments to be levied and collected in Utility Local Improvement District No. 137 herein created to support the payment of the bonds herein authorized to be issued, of sufficient amounts to pay the principal of and interest on those bonds. Section 4. The Finance Director is authorized and directed to create and establish in his office a special fund to be known and designated as "Construction Fund - ULID No. 137" (the "Construction Fund") for the sole purpose of paying the cost of carrying out the Improvements and of paying the costs and expenses connected therewith and into which fund shall be deposited the proceeds received from the issuance and sale of the bonds herein authorized to be issued. The City, through its proper officers and agents, shall proceed with the making of those Improvements and the calling of bids therefor in the manner provided by law. Pending the sale of the bonds herein authorized to be issued, the City may issue interest-bearing warrants drawn upon the Construction Fund to pay duly authorized and proper costs incurred in carrying out such Improvements, those warrants to bear such interest as may be agreed upon between the City and any bank or investment banking firm agreeing to make a market for such warrants and such warrants to be paid out of the proceeds received from the sale of the bonds,herein authorized to be issued and from any other money available to the City in cash to finance the Improvements. In the alternative, the City hereafter may provide by ordinance for the issuance of other short-term obligations pursuant to chapter 39.50 RCW. Money in the Construction Fund shall be invested until needed in any investments permitted to the City by law, but in no event shall any investment be made in any obligation maturing later than one year after the investment therein or later than such money is needed for the purpose of the Construction Fund, whichever is the lesser time, nor shall any investments exceed the applicable yield limitations imposed by Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable regulations thereunder relating to arbitrage. Income from such investments shall be deposited in the Construction Fund. Section 5. To carry out the Improvements there is created and established Utility Local Improvement District No. 137 of the City of Pasco, Washington, consisting of two noncontiguous units (Units A and B) (the "District"), the boundaries or territorial extent of which District are more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto. Section 6. Unless otherwise provided by future ordinances, the entire cost and expense of the Improvements shall be borne by and assessed against the property specially benefited by such Improvements included in the District embracing as nearly as practicable all property specially benefited by such Improvements. The assessments in the District shall be for the sole purpose of payment into the Water and Sewer Revenue and Refunding Bond Redemption Fund, 1991, if water and sewer revenue bonds authorized herein are issued on a parity of lien with the outstanding bonds payable from such fund or into a special bond redemption fund hereafter created for the payment of water and sewer revenue bonds to be issued by the City to provide the funds required to pay the cost and expense of carrying out the improvements. Section 7. In accordance with the provisions of RCW 35.44.047, the City may use any method or combination of methods to compute assessments which may be deemed to more fairly reflect the special benefits to the properties being assessed than the method provided by RCW 35.44.030, RCW 35.44.040 and RCW 35.44.045. It is the City's intention to compute assessments based on a single sewer service to each property included within the boundaries of the District. If a property included within the District shall require additional service, that property shall be required to pay prior to any additional connection a charge in lieu of assessment which shall be at least the equivalent of the assessment which would have been applied to that property if that property had required the additional service at the time of confirmation of the final assessment roll for the District. Section 8. No property, any portion of which is outside the District, may connect to those Improvements constructed or made a part of the District unless either that property shall have been subject to the special assessments on the assessment roll for that District or the owners of that property shall have paid prior to such connection a charge in lieu of assessment which shall be at least the equivalent of those assessments which would have been applied to that property had it been included within that District. Section 9. Within 15 days of the passage of this ordinance there shall be filed with the Finance Director of the City the title of the improvement and District number, a copy of the diagram or print showing the boundaries of the District and the preliminary assessment roll or abstract of such roll showing thereon the lots, tracts and parcels of land that will be specially benefited thereby and the estimated cost and expense of such Improvements to be borne by each lot, tract or parcel of land. The Finance Director shall immediately post the proposed assessment roll upon his index of local improvement assessments against the properties affected by the local improvement. Section 10. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and five days following its publication as required by law.
