Option to redeem as stated by Terry Thompson for Terry Thompson & Co.:
"The City of Pasco has $616,000 of Water & Sewer Revenue Bonds outstanding (issue of 1957),
which bear interest at the rate of 5% and mature serially from January 1, 1963 through
January 1, 1987.
The City has the option, or right, to redeem this issue on January 1, 1963 at a price of
105.00. ($105.00 per $100.00 bond)
To enable the City of Pasco to redeem these bonds on January 1, 1963 at a price of 105.00
and accomplish an attractive interest saving I will agree to use my best efforts to refund
this issue for you by the sale of $646,000 ($616,000 of bonds and $30,000premium) Pasco
Water & Sewer Revenue Bonds at 100.00 to mature over the same term and in the same annual
amounts with interest as follows:
1963 to 1969 maturities 3 1/20%
1970 to 1979 3 3/49/-
1980
/4%1980 to 1987 4%
The City will have the option of redeeming the new issue in 10 years from date of issuance at
a price of 100.00
I will agree to include in this undertaking the issuance of $200,000 additional water and
sewer revenue bonds for your current water system improvement, at the same price and option,
to mature serially starting in 1964 in approximately equal annual amounts of principal and
interest. The price and interest rates sihall be the same as shown above for the refunding
portion. The exact amount of this portion may be set when your construction bids are
received provided this is prior to January 1, 1963.
The City of Pasco will agree to furnish the approving legal opinion of Roberts, Shefelman,
Lawrence, Gay & Moch and the printed bonds. However, the City will be under no obligation
for any expense whatsoever unless the bonds are refunded.
The approximate interest saving to the City of Pasco under this program over the life of
the bond issue i's $79,760 less the cost of the legal work and bond printing. This is cal-
culated briefly as follows:
Interest cost of present issue $520,776
Interest cost proposed issue $410,216
Redemption premium ($105.00) 30,800
441,016

required to advise the City on or before that date whether or not this undertaking has been
accomplished."
