Current Recyclables Market Conditions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Isn’t there always a place for recycled material? Why do we rely on China?
The recycling system is 100% dependent on a marketplace for recyclable materials. Whether it is plastic, paper, or
aluminum, we are only able to offer a service to collect and process it for you, if in turn, someone is going to buy it
from us and use it for manufacturing or other purposes. A strong recycling system is good for the environment and
for the economy. Today’s situation is unique because China is a primary source of manufactured products and
packaging. Their policy change transpired quickly, something that is challenging for infrastructure services like solid
waste and recycling collections and processing because it is so complex.
Why do Chinese policies affect my recycling service?
Washington, Oregon, and California are particularly impacted by China’s policy change because the West Coast is
active in trade with China and other countries where imports/exports are made easier because of where they are
located. Washington’s recycling rate hovers around 50%, well above the national average, in part because of its
proximity to China. China is also one of the biggest manufacturers in the world – named the #1 Most Competitive
Manufacturing Nation in 2016 by Deloitte, a global financial and consulting firm and consuming 2/3 of all
recyclable materials that are collected worldwide.
What has been done since China announced the changes that will impact the system here?
We have been searching for markets, both domestically and internationally, and fine-tuning our processing
practices here at home. Internationally, we have representatives overseas in China working with processors,
manufacturers, and the Chinese government. We are also developing and searching for new markets across the
globe and in the United States to ensure as many materials as possible have a place to go. Working in conjunction
with state and local agencies, we have been actively seeking solutions to strengthen and improve our recycling
stream since China announced the new policy. One domestic example, among many, has been in our members’
investments at their facilities to better sort materials so that the recyclable materials can be diverted efficiently
and effectively. Our members are adapting in real-time, adjusting routes and working with our local government
partners. Industry-wide, up and down the west coast, we have been focused on addressing this current chall enge
and ensuring that in the long-term, the recycling system is stronger than ever.
Every city and county may have differences in the system in place, but specific actions that we have taken system-
wide include:
slowed down the conveyor belts that carry potential recyclable goods past people and machines so they
can be sorted and re-sorted with a higher level of precision
hired more people so that there are more eyes and hands picking non -recyclable contaminants out of the
recycle stream
decreased the tolerances of the machines which are automated versions of what the employees are doing
so that they reject more non-recyclable contaminants from the recycle stream
overseas, we are actively seeking new markets for recyclables and continue to work with Chines e partners
to secure outlets for the most materials possible under the new restrictions.
How long will this situation last?
At this point, it’s unclear, but we have received no indication that the change in China’s policies are temporary . The
ban on unsorted paper, certain plastics, and other material goes into effect on January 1, 2018. Along with the ban,
China also announced stringent new contaminant standards. In recycling, “contaminants” are non -permittable
materials that are mixed in with the desirable materials, something that everyone in the recycling system works to
prevent, but because of the nature of the solid waste stream, can be very challenging to manage. After January 1,
2018, China will only accept materials with a contaminant rate of 0.3%, something that is virtually unattainable.
The impacts of all these polices will be felt before they are implemented, as shipments can take a month or more
Page 3 of 140
to reach China. We are actively searching for new markets and solutions, but as everyone realizes, the solid waste
stream never stops and recycled materials are already accumulating at various facilities.
Why can’t we set aside recycled materials at a new location in Washington until we can find a marketplace to re -
use them?
Recyclable materials are considered solid waste and are heavily regulated for a reason. There is not enough
available warehousing in the state for safe storage especially since many recyclables are highly flammable. They
cannot and should not be “set aside” anywhere that hasn’t been vetted extensively under our regulatory system,
which prioritizes public health and safety. The solid waste system is strong and intact and we should dispose of all
items safely while we seek solutions to the issue at-hand with the recycling market.
Has something like this ever happened before?
No. This is the first time a policy change overseas has had such swift and direct impacts to recycling. But our
system is strong, and we are confident we will find solutions in the middle and long-term. In the short-term, it’s
crucial that a problem in the international recycling markets does not become multiple problems for public health
and safety. The solid waste collection, handling, and processing infrastructure to responsibly handle these
materials exists and we will rely on it until solutions can be put in place.

WASHINGTON REFUSE & RECYCLING ASSOCIATION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
October 18, 2017
Contact: Brad Lovaas, WRRA Executive Director, info@wrra.org
ATTACHMENT: WRRA FAQ
Washington’s Solid Waste and Recycling Industry Details Response to China’s New
Restrictions for Recyclable Materials Imports
New restrictions temporarily eliminate a key market for many recyclable materials, forcing
diversion to domestic landfills
WASHINGTON – Today the Washington Refuse and Recycling Association (WRRA) detailed
the state industry’s response to new and significant restrictions set by China on the import of
recyclable materials to their country. The restrictions announced by the Chinese government in
mid-July dramatically impact the amount and type of recyclable materials that China will import
going forward. As a direct result of the significant and swift reduction in the size of the
marketplace for recycled goods, Washington State’s waste and recycling industry will be forced
to temporarily divert recyclable materials to our state’s landfills while new markets are
developed. While the short-term impacts to our recycling system are significant, the adjustment
is also an opportunity to review and improve our state’s curbside recycling programs.
“Our region’s commitment to recycling is a bedrock value that makes the Pacific Northwest
special – we’re proud of that,” said Brad Lovaas, Executive Director of the WRRA. “Our
member companies – from major publicly-traded corporations to family-owned independent
businesses – are proud of how our industry has partnered with the public to make our state’s
ambitious recycling goals a reality.”
Lovaas continued: “We share the public’s disappointment that materials that normally would be
recycled are instead going to be diverted to a landfill. I know I speak for our entire membership
when I say that we are dedicated to identifying short, mid- and long-term solutions for
supporting a system that allows us to honor our shared commitment to holding on to one of the
country’s leading recycling rate.”
China notified the World Trade Organization in July that it plans to ban the import of at least 24
varieties of solid waste and recyclables, including types of plastic, unsorted paper, and metals
commonly sold by U.S. recyclers. China will also apply stringent new quality standards to the
remaining materials not covered by the ban. The ban, set to go into effect by the end of 2017, is
part of a broader Chinese customs program called “Operation Green Fence,” which began in
2013, aims to reduce waste importation and contamination of recyclable materials.
Page 5 of 140
The latest phase of this operation is called “National Sword,” which increases enforcement and
bans the import of many materials. Wastes and recyclable materials are the sixth largest U.S.
export to China. The combination of the ban on the import of many materials and dramatically
increased standards to guard against contamination of other materials are together causing the
current dramatic reduction in the recyclables marketplace.
“For purposes of public health and safety, sanitation, and fire safety, we encourage people to
stick to their normal routine for sorting garbage, recycling, and food waste,” said Lovaas. “If
you want to help, please pay attention to the sticker on your co-mingled recycle bin or other
information you have from your provider and local government solid waste divisions as to what
can be recycled. If you are unsure – throw it in the garbage. When in doubt, throw it out.”
The recycling system is 100% dependent on a marketplace for recyclable materials. Whether it is
plastic, paper, or aluminum, the waste and recycling industry is only able to recycle waste if a
marketplace exists for the waste products. The current situation is unique because China is a
primary source of manufactured products and packaging and their policy change transpired
abruptly, something that is challenging for infrastructure services like solid waste and recycling
collections and processing because it is so complex.
Washington, Oregon, and California are particularly impacted by China’s policy change because
the West Coast is active in trade with China and other countries where imports/exports are made
easier because of where they are located. Washington’s recycling rate hovers around 50 percent,
well above the national average, in part because of its proximity to China. China is the largest
importer of recyclable materials, consuming approximately 2/3 of all recyclable materials that
are collected worldwide and is one of the biggest manufacturers in the world – named the #1
Most Competitive Manufacturing Nation in 2016 by Deloitte, a global financial and consulting
firm.
This is a national and international issue, but the negative effects are very local. At this point,
there is no excess capacity in the recycling facilities or markets in our region that can absorb the
materials that China will no longer accept. Hence, this means there is not enough storage or
processing capacity for the recyclable materials that are generated by the recycling programs in
our state. As a result, this could create a potential crisis in which no markets would exist that can
take the recyclable material. In the short term, this is forcing our waste and recycling industry to
dispose of typically-recyclable materials in our system’s landfills while it continues to seek long-
term market and processing solutions.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council November 8, 2017
TO: Rick Terway, Interim Public Works Director Workshop Meeting: 11/13/17
FROM: Troy Phillips, Senior Management Analyst
Public Works
SUBJECT: Cross Connect Policy Proposal
I. REFERENCE(S):
Cross Connect Program Review Powerpoint
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Council established and implemented a Cross Connection Control Program in 2001,
per WAC 246-290-490. Key assumptions of program implementation included: the
development and staffing of a Cross Connect Specialist position, requirement of annual
testing of cross connection devices to ensure compliance, ongoing surveying of all
connections, and program administration to include documentation, tracking, and
reporting on all connections. In an effort to minimize costs to residents, a Cost -Sharing
program was implemented, in which residents were given the option to pay $120-$140
for a backflow prevention device, whereby the City would cover the balance of the
device cost, typically averaging $630.
V. DISCUSSION:
The City of Pasco is 1 of only 2 municipalities in the State who "own" or control
resident Cross Connect devices. All other municipalities require residents to pay for
and submit annually a 3rd party device test, which is then documented and
administered by the municipalities' Cross Connection Control Program manager or
specialist.
The costs associated with testing residential backflow prevention devices as a service
Page 7 of 140
provided by the utility are shared by all water utility users, including those who do not
have or need backflow prevention devices. The salient policy question here being:
Should all ratepayers continue to subsidize the cost of testing cross connect devices
required of and benefitting 22% of ratepayers?
Staff is requesting Council direction on this matter and offers the following options for
discussion:
1. Continue Current Program (City conducts testing at cost to all Utility
Customers).
2. Property Owner Responsibility (Regional standard, transfer ownership of
backflow prevention devices to property owner and require annual testing
conducted by a private party).
3. City Tests for User Fee (Property owners with cross connection devices to pay
the cost for said testing services).

Executive
SUBJECT: Contract for Collection Services with Washington Collectors Tri-Cities, Inc.
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Contract
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract provides that the City will receive its full principal amount, plus interest
(50%) on collected amounts. The collection agency fees (40%) are added to principal
amounts and payable to the collection agency. The collection agency receives the other
50% of interest collected.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City has had a contract with Washington Collectors, a Pasco business, for many
years for the collection of its delinquent accounts and other unpaid bills. Most
typically, the delinquencies experienced are related to utility billings, infractions, civil
judgments that have been imposed by the Municipal Court.
The City most recently entered into a five-year collection agreement in 2013. The
current proposal is also for a five-year agreement (2018-2022). This agreement covers
collection needs for Municipal Court as well as the Finance Department.
In 2013, staff worked with Washington Collectors to update and clarify contract
language and procedures. Collection agencies must follow procedures set out in state
law.
V. DISCUSSION:
Page 10 of 140

SUBJECT: Revenue Bonds for Waterworks Utility
I. REFERENCE(S):
PROPOSED Ordinance
Preliminary Official Statement
Project Listing
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated total bonds of approximately $10 million to be issued. Debt service
requirements to be met from revenue generated by utility user fees.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
As previously planned and discussed with Council during rate, Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) and preliminary budget presentations, the proposed revenue bonds will
finance the design, construction, equipment and furnishings for water and sewer system
projects per the CIP and an additional amount to fund the required reserve fund to
assure bond repayment. The subject bonds are expected to be repaid over a 20-year
period.
The City has retained the services of a financial advisor to assist with decisions relating
to the structuring and sale of the bonds. The City has also applied for a bond rating
with Standard and Poor's (S & P) which is expected to be beneficial to the City in time
of sale and interest on the bonds.
The proposed ordinance names the City Manager as the City's Designated
Representative to conduct the bond sale in the manner and upon the terms deemed
Page 17 of 140
most advantageous to the City. The ordinance, when completed for November 20, will
provide the parameters within which the Designated Representative may act (See
Proposed Ordinance Exhibit A. Please note that at the time of writing this report, not
all parameters had been proposed. Recommended parameters will be provided in the
proposed final ordinance.) The attachment provides some flexibility to the Designated
Representative in making final sale decisions, in the event that conditions change prior
to the actual date of the sale (anticipated to take place on December 4).
V. DISCUSSION:
A listing of projects included in the funding is attached. Staff anticipates being able to
provide final information, including the rating for the bonds at the December 4 Council
Meeting. The City's current S & P rating for Water and Sewer bond is AA -.

thereto, should be operated as a part of and as belonging to the Waterworks Utility of the City

(d) Parity Conditions Met. The City Council finds and declares that (1) all payments
required by the Outstanding Parity Bonds are provided for in this ordinance or have been
provided for or made into the Bond Fund for those outstanding bonds and that no deficiency
exists in such fund; (2) provision is hereinafter made for the deposit in the Reserve Account of

determines that the Gross Revenue of the Waterworks Utility will be more than sufficient to

Outstanding Parity Bonds, and (2) permit the setting aside into the Bond Fund out of the Net
Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City of amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds when due. The City Council declares that in creating the Bond Fund and in
fixing the amounts to be paid into that fund, it has exercised due regard for Operating and
Maintenance Expenses (and the cost of maintenance and operation contemplated by RCW
35.92.100) and the debt service requirements of the Outstanding Parity Bonds, and the City has
not bound or obligated itself to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund a greater amount or
proportion of the Gross Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City than in the judgment of
the City Council will be available over and above such Operating and Maintenance Expenses and
debt service requirements of the Outstanding Parity Bonds, and that the City has not pledged any
portion of the Gross Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City for any indebtedness other
than the Outstanding Parity Bonds.
(g) Issuance of Bonds. Based on the foregoing, the City Council finds that it is in the
best interest of the City to issue and sell the Bonds to the Purchaser, pursuant to the terms set
forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement as approved by the Designated Representative consistent
with this ordinance.

(a) Optional Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption at the option of
the City on terms acceptable to the Designated Representative, as set forth in the Bond Purchase
Agreement, consistent with the parameters set forth in Exhibit A.
(b) Mandatory Redemption. Each Bond that is designated as a Term Bond in the
Bond Purchase Agreement, consistent with the parameters set forth in Exhibit A and except as
set forth below, shall be called for redemption at a price equal to the stated principal amount to
be redeemed, plus accrued interest, on the dates and in the amounts as set forth in the Bond
Purchase Agreement. If a Term Bond is redeemed under the optional redemption provisions,
defeased or purchased by the City and surrendered for cancellation, the principal amount of the
Term Bond so redeemed, defeased or purchased (irrespective of its actual redemption or
purchase price) shall be credited against one or more scheduled mandatory redemption
installments for that Term Bond. The City shall determine the manner in which the credit is to be
allocated and shall notify the Bond Registrar in writing of its allocation prior to the earliest
mandatory redemption date for that Term Bond for which notice of redemption has not already
been given.
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption; Partial Redemption. If fewer than all of the
outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed at the option of the City, the City shall select the Series
and maturities to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds of a maturity of a
Series are to be redeemed, the Securities Depository shall select Bonds registered in the name of
the Securities Depository to be redeemed in accordance with the Letter of Representations, and
the Bond Registrar shall select all other Bonds to be redeemed randomly in such manner as the
Bond Registrar shall determine. All or a portion of the principal amount of any Bond that is to be
redeemed may be redeemed in any Authorized Denomination. If less than all of the outstanding
principal amount of any Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of that Bond to the Bond Registrar,
there shall be issued to the Registered Owner, without charge, a new Bond (or Bonds, at the
option of the Registered Owner) of the same Series, maturity and interest rate in any Authorized
Denomination in the aggregate principal amount to remain outstanding.
(d) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption of each Bond registered in the name
of the Securities Depository shall be given in accordance with the Letter of Representations.
Notice of redemption of each other Bond, unless waived by the Registered Owner, shall be given
by the Bond Registrar not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Registered Owner at the address appearing
on the Bond Register on the Record Date. The requirements of the preceding sentence shall be
satisfied when notice has been mailed as so provided, whether or not it is actually received by an
Owner. In addition, the redemption notice shall be mailed or sent electronically within the same
period to the MSRB (if required under the Undertaking), to each Rating Agency, and to such
other persons and with such additional information as the Finance Director shall determine, but
these additional mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the redemption of any Bond.
(e) Rescission of Optional Redemption Notice. In the case of an optional redemption,
the notice of redemption may state that the City retains the right to rescind the redemption notice
and the redemption by giving a notice of rescission to the affected Registered Owners at any time
Page 33 of 140
-14-
51615205.7
on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice of optional redemption that is so
rescinded shall be of no effect, and each Bond for which a notice of redemption has been
rescinded shall remain outstanding.
(f) Effect of Redemption. Interest on each Bond called for redemption shall cease to
accrue on the date fixed for redemption, unless either the notice of optional redemption is
rescinded as set forth above, or money sufficient to effect such redemption is not on deposit in
the Bond Fund or in a trust account established to refund or defease the Bond.
(g) Purchase of Bonds. The City reserves the right to purchase any or all of the Bonds
offered to the City or in the open market at any time at any price acceptable to the City plus
accrued interest to the date of purchase.
Section 10. Failure to Pay Bonds. If the principal of any Bond is not paid when the
Bond is properly presented at its maturity date or date fixed for redemption, the City shall be
obligated to pay interest on that Bond at the same rate provided in the Bond from and after its
maturity or date fixed for redemption until that Bond, both principal and interest, is paid in full
or until sufficient money for its payment in full is on deposit in the Bond Fund, or in a trust
account established to refund or defease the Bond, and the Bond has been called for payment by
giving notice of that call to the Registered Owner.
Section 11. Bond Fund; Payments into Bond Fund. The Bond Fund has been
previously created and established as a special fund of the City known and designated as the
Water and Sewer Revenue and Refunding Bond Redemption Fund, 1991, which fund has been
divided into two accounts, namely, the Principal and Interest Account and the Reserve Account.
So long as any Parity Bonds are outstanding against the Bond Fund, the Finance Director shall
set aside and pay into the Bond Fund all ULID Assessments upon their collection and, out of the
Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, certain fixed amounts without regard to any fixed
proportion, namely, amounts, together with any ULID Assessments collected by the City and
deposited into the applicable account in the Bond Fund and investment earnings in that account,
as follows:
(a) Into the Principal and Interest Account, on or before each interest or principal and
interest payment date, an amount equal to the interest or the principal and interest to become due
and payable on that interest or principal and interest payment date of all Parity Bonds; and
(b) Into the Reserve Account, on the Issue Date of the Bonds, an amount sufficient,
together with the Reserve Insurance, to fully fund the Reserve Requirement for all Parity Bonds.
Money deposited in the Reserve Account for the Reserve Requirement for all Parity
Bonds may be decreased for any issue of Parity Bonds when and to the extent the City has
provided for an Alternate Security or Reserve Insurance for those bonds.
When the 2009 Bonds, 2010A Bonds, 2010T Bonds, 2013A Bonds, 2013T Bonds are no
longer outstanding, the following paragraph shall become effective: The City may establish, for
one or more series of Future Parity Bonds, a separate reserve requirement (which may be zero),
to be held in a separate reserve account, for the purpose of securing those Future Parity Bonds,
Page 34 of 140
-15-
51615205.7
and those Future Parity Bonds shall not be secured by amounts in the Reserve Account or by any
Reserve Insurance credited to the Reserve Account.
The City may establish additional accounts in the Bond Fund for the deposit of ULID
Assessments after the deposit of the required amount in the other funds.
The Reserve Account for any Future Parity Bonds may be accumulated from any other
funds which the City legally may have available for such purpose in addition to using ULID
Assessments and Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility.
The City further agrees that when the required amounts have been paid into the Reserve
Account in the Bond Fund, the City will maintain those amounts therein at all times, except for
withdrawals therefrom as authorized herein, until there is sufficient money in the Bond Fund,
including the Reserve Account therein, to pay the principal of and interest to maturity on all
outstanding bonds payable from the Bond Fund, at which time no further payments need be
made into the Bond Fund, and the money in the Bond Fund, including the Reserve Account, may
be used to pay that principal and interest.
If there shall be a deficiency in the Principal and Interest Account to meet maturing
installments of either principal or interest, as the case may be, on the Bonds, the deficiency shall
be made up from the Reserve Account by first the withdrawal of cash and investments therefrom
and after all cash and investments have been depleted, then by the draws on the Reserve
Insurance for that purpose on a pro rata basis. Any deficiency created in the Reserve Account by
reason of any withdrawal shall then be made up from the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility
first available after making necessary provisions for the required payments into the Principal and
Interest Account. The Reserve Insurer shall be reimbursed first, within one year, to reinstate the
Reserve Insurance, before the balance of the Reserve Requirement is restored.
All money in the Reserve Account not needed to meet the payments of principal and
interest when due may be kept on deposit in the official bank depository of the City or in any
national bank or may be invested in any legal investment for City funds maturing not later than
the interest or principal and interest payment date when the money will be needed. Interest on
any of those investments or on that bank account shall be deposited in and become a part of the
Reserve Account until the Reserve Requirement shall have been accumulated therein, after
which time the interest shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account.
Notwithstanding the provisions for the deposit or maintenance of earnings in accounts of
the Bond Fund, any earnings which are subject to a federal tax or rebate requirement may be
withdrawn from the Bond Fund for deposit into a separate fund or account for that purpose.
If the City shall fail to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund the amounts which it has
obligated itself by this section to set aside and pay therein, the Owner of any Bond may bring
suit against the City to compel it to do so.
Section 12. Pledge, Lien and Charge for Payment of the Bonds. The Net Revenue of
the Waterworks Utility and ULID Assessments are pledged to the payment of the principal of
and interest on the Bonds when due and shall constitute a lien and charge upon that Net Revenue
of the Waterworks Utility and ULID Assessments prior and superior to any other charges
Page 35 of 140
-16-
51615205.7
whatsoever, except that the lien and charge upon such Net Revenue and ULID Assessments for
the Bonds shall be on a parity with the lien and charge thereon for any outstanding Parity Bonds.
Section 13. Flow of Funds. Funds in the Water and Sewer Revenue Fund shall be used
in the following order of priority:
(1) To pay Operating and Maintenance Expenses;
(2) To make all payments required to be made into the Bond Fund to pay and secure
the payment of the Annual Debt Service on all outstanding Parity Bonds;
(3) To make all payments required to be made into the Reserve Account and to make
all payments (principal and interest) required to be made in connection with
Reserve Insurance and any Alternate Security, except if there is not sufficient
money to make all payments for Reserve Insurance and any Alternate Security,
the payments shall be made on a pro rata basis with deposits in the Reserve
Account;
(4) To make all payments required to be made into the loan redemption funds or
accounts, and other revenue bond redemption funds created to pay the debt
service on any revenue obligation having a lien upon the Net Revenue of the
Waterworks Utility subordinate to the lien of the Bonds; and
(5) To make necessary additions, betterments, improvements or repairs to the
Waterworks Utility, and to retire by redemption or purchase any outstanding
Parity Bonds, or for any other lawful purpose.
Section 14. Covenants. The City covenants and agrees with the owner of each of the
Bonds as follows:
(a) It will not sell, lease, mortgage, or in any manner encumber or dispose of all the
properties of the Waterworks Utility unless provision is made for payment into the Bond Fund of
an amount sufficient either to defease all outstanding Parity Bonds or to pay the principal of and
interest on all the outstanding Parity Bonds in accordance with the terms thereof; and further
binds itself irrevocably not to mortgage, sell, lease or in any manner dispose of any part of the
Waterworks Utility that is used, useful and material to the operation of such utility unless
provision is made for replacement thereof or for payment into the Bond Fund of an amount
which shall bear the same ratio to the amount of outstanding Parity Bonds as the Net Revenue
available for debt service for such bonds for the twelve months preceding such sale, lease,
encumbrance or disposal from the portion of the Waterworks Utility so leased, encumbered or
disposed of bears to the Net Revenue available for debt service for such bonds from the entire
Waterworks Utility for the same period. Any such money so paid into the Bond Fund shall be
used to retire outstanding Parity Bonds at the earliest possible date.
(b) It will maintain and keep the Waterworks Utility in good repair, working order
and condition and to operate such utility and the business in connection therewith in an efficient
manner and at a reasonable cost.
Page 36 of 140
-17-
51615205.7
(c) It will maintain and collect such rates as will produce sufficient Net Revenue of
the Waterworks Utility, together with ULID Assessment collections, as will make available for
the payment of the principal of and interest on the Parity Bonds as they come due and for
payments as required to be made into the Reserve Account therein an amount at least equal to the
Coverage Requirement and, in addition thereto, that it will pay all Operating and Maintenance
Expenses and otherwise meet the obligations of the City as herein set forth.
(d) It will keep proper books of accounts and records separate and apart from other
accounts and records, in which complete and correct entries will be made of all transactions
relating to the Waterworks Utility of the City, and it will make available to any Owner on written
request the annual operating and income statements of the Waterworks Utility.
(e) Except to aid the poor or infirm, to provide for resource conservation or to
provide for the proper handling of hazardous materials, it will not furnish water or sewerage
service to any customer whatsoever free of charge and it shall, not later than 60 days after the
end of each calendar year, take such legal action as may be feasible to enforce collection of all
collectible delinquent accounts and, in addition thereto, shall promptly avail itself of its utility
lien rights, as set forth in applicable statutes.
(f) It will carry the types of insurance on its Waterworks Utility properties in the
amounts normally carried by private water and sewer companies engaged in the operation of
water and sewerage systems, and the cost of such insurance shall be considered a part of
Operating and Maintenance Expenses, or it will implement and maintain a self-insurance
program or an insurance pool program with reserves adequate, in the judgment of the City
Council, to protect the owners of the Parity Bonds against loss.
(g) To the extent permitted by State law, it will maintain its corporate identity and
existence so long as any Bonds remain outstanding.
(h) It will not grant any competing utility service franchise and will use all legal
means to prevent competition with the Waterworks Utility.
(i) If on the first day of January in any year, two installments of any ULID
Assessment are delinquent, or the final installment of any ULID Assessment has been delinquent
for more than one year, the City shall proceed with the foreclosure of the delinquent assessment
or delinquent installments thereof in the manner provided by law.
Section 15. Provisions for Future Parity Bonds. The City reserves the right to issue
Future Parity Bonds if the Parity Conditions set forth in Exhibit B are met and complied with at
the time of the issuance of those Future Parity Bonds.
Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City from issuing Future Parity Bonds to
refund any maturing Parity Bonds then outstanding, money for the payment of which is not
otherwise available.
Nothing herein contained shall prevent the City from issuing revenue bonds or incurring
other obligations that are a charge upon the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City
subordinate or inferior to the payments required to be made therefrom into the Bond Fund for the
Page 37 of 140
-18-
51615205.7
payment of Parity Bonds or from pledging the payment of utility local improvement district
assessments into a redemption fund created for the payment of the principal of and interest on
those subordinate lien bonds or obligations as long as such utility local improvement district
assessments are levied for improvements constructed from the proceeds of those subordinate lien
bonds or obligations.
Section 16. Tax Covenants.
(a) Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on Bonds. The City covenants that it
will take all actions necessary to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in gross
income for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take any action nor make or permit
any use of proceeds of the Bonds or other funds of the City treated as proceeds of the Bonds that
will cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
The City also covenants that it will, to the extent the arbitrage rebate requirements of Section 148
of the Code are applicable to the Bonds, take all actions necessary to comply (or to be treated as
having complied) with those requirements in connection with the Bonds.
(b) Post-Issuance Compliance. The Finance Director is authorized and directed to
review and update the City’s written procedures to facilitate compliance by the City with the
covenants in this ordinance and the applicable requirements of the Code that must be satisfied
after the Issue Date to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in gross income for
federal tax purposes.
(c) Designation of Bonds as “Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations.” The Designated
Representative may designate the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for the purposes
of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, if the following conditions are met:
(1) the Bonds are not “private activity bonds” within the meaning of
Section 141 of the Code;
(2) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other
than private activity bonds and other obligations not required to be included in
such calculation) that the City and any entity subordinate to the City (including
any entity that the City controls, that derives its authority to issue tax-exempt
obligations from the City, or that issues tax-exempt obligations on behalf of the
City) will issue during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued will not
exceed $10,000,000; and
(3) the amount of tax-exempt obligations, including the Bonds,
designated by the City as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for the purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code during the calendar year in which the Bonds are
issued does not exceed $10,000,000.
Section 17. Refunding or Defeasance of Bonds. The City may issue refunding bonds
pursuant to State law or use money available from other lawful sources to carry out a refunding
or defeasance plan, which may include (a) paying when due the principal of and interest on any
or all of the Bonds (the “defeased Bonds”); (b) redeeming the defeased Bonds prior to their
maturity; and (c) paying the costs of the refunding or defeasance. If the City sets aside in a
Page 38 of 140
-19-
51615205.7
special trust fund or escrow account irrevocably pledged to that redemption or defeasance (the
“trust account”), money and/or Government Obligations maturing at a time or times and bearing
interest in amounts sufficient to redeem, refund or defease the defeased Bonds in accordance
with their terms, then all right and interest of the Owners of the defeased Bonds in the covenants
of this ordinance and in the Gross Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, ULID Assessments, funds
and accounts obligated to the payment of the defeased Bonds, other than the right to receive the
funds so set aside and pledged, shall cease and become void. Thereafter, the Owners of defeased
Bonds shall have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the defeased
Bonds solely from the trust account and the defeased Bonds shall be deemed no longer
outstanding. In that event, the City may apply money remaining in any fund or account (other
than the trust account) established for the payment or redemption of the defeased Bonds to any
lawful purpose, subject only to the rights of the Owners of any other Parity Bonds then
outstanding.
If the refunding or defeasance plan provides that the defeased Bonds or the refunding
bonds to be issued be secured by money and/or Government Obligations pending the prior
redemption of the defeased Bonds and if such refunding plan also provides that certain money
and/or Government Obligations are pledged irrevocably for the prior redemption of the defeased
Bonds included in that refunding plan, then only the debt service on the Bonds which are not
defeased Bonds and the refunding bonds, the payment of which is not so secured by the
refunding plan, shall be included in the computation of the Coverage Requirement for the
issuance of Future Parity Bonds and the annual computation of the Coverage Requirement for
determining compliance with the rate covenants.
Section 18. Deposit of Bond Proceeds; Creation of Construction Accounts.
Immediately upon the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the City shall cause the following to
occur:
(a) Reserve Account. Proceeds of the Bonds as needed to satisfy the Reserve
Requirement shall either be deposited in the Reserve Account or used to acquire Reserve
Insurance in an amount sufficient to satisfy the Reserve Requirement with respect to the Bonds.
(b) Refunding Plan. The remaining proceeds of the Refunding Bonds shall be
deposited with the Refunding Trustee as set forth in Section 19.
(c) Construction Accounts. The Finance Director is authorized to establish one or
more special accounts within the Water/Sewer Fund, designated as the Construction Accounts.
The remaining proceeds of the Project Bonds shall be paid into the Construction Accounts and
used to pay the costs of the Plan of Additions and the costs of issuing the Project Bonds (if not
included in the Refunding Plan). Until needed to pay those costs, the City may invest principal
proceeds deposited in the Construction Accounts temporarily in any legal investment, and the
investment earnings may be retained in such accounts and be spent for the purposes of those
accounts, except that earnings subject to a federal tax or rebate requirement may be withdrawn
therefrom and used for those tax or rebate purposes.

51615205.7
Section 19. Use of Refunding Proceeds; the Refunding Plan.
(a) Appointment of Refunding Trustee. The Designated Representative is authorized
and directed to appoint a financial institution to serve as the Refunding Trustee and to perform
the duties of Refunding Trustee under this ordinance.
(b) Selection of Refunded Bonds. The Designated Representative is authorized and
directed to select the Refunding Candidates to be refunded by the Bonds. The Designated
Representative may choose to refund fewer than all of the Refunding Candidates. The Refunded
Bonds, as selected by the Designated Representative, shall be identified in the Refunding Plan
set forth in the Refunding Trust Agreement.
(c) Use of Refunding Proceeds; Purchase of Acquired Obligations. On the Issue
Date, sufficient proceeds of the sale of the Refunding Bonds, together with any City
Contribution, shall be deposited with the Refunding Trustee and used to discharge the
obligations of the City relating to the Refunded Bonds under the applicable Parity Bond
Ordinances by providing for the payment of the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding
Plan. To the extent practicable, such obligations shall be discharged fully by the Refunding
Trustee’s simultaneous purchase of the Acquired Obligations, bearing such interest and maturing
as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times so as to provide, together with a
beginning cash balance, if necessary, for the payment of the amount required to be paid by the
Refunding Plan. The Acquired Obligations shall be listed and more particularly described in a
schedule attached to the Refunding Trust Agreement, but are subject to substitution as set forth
below. The Designated Representative is authorized and directed to approve the Acquired
Obligations, if any, to be purchased.
Any Project Bond proceeds deposited with the Refunding Trustee and not used to pay the
costs of issuance of the Project Bonds shall be returned to the City for deposit in the
Construction Accounts. Any Refunding Bond proceeds or other money deposited with the
Refunding Trustee not needed to carry out the Refunding Plan shall be returned to the City for
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account to pay interest on the Refunding Bonds on the next
upcoming interest payment date.
(d) Substitution of Acquired Obligations. The City reserves the right at any time to
substitute cash or other direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America
(“Substitute Obligations”) for any of the Acquired Obligations if the City obtains (1) an opinion
of Bond Counsel to the effect that the interest on the Refunding Bonds and the Refunded Bonds
will remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Sections 103,
148 and 149(d) of the Code, and (2) a verification by a nationally recognized independent
certified public accounting firm that such substitution will not impair the timely payment of the
amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan. Any surplus money resulting from the sale,
transfer, other disposition or redemption of the Acquired Obligations and the substitutions
therefor shall be released from the trust estate and transferred to the City to be used for any
lawful purpose.
(e) Administration of Refunding Plan. The Refunding Trustee is authorized and
directed to purchase the Acquired Obligations (or Substitute Obligations) and to make the
Page 40 of 140
-21-
51615205.7
payments required to be made pursuant to the Refunding Plan from the Acquired Obligations (or
Substitute Obligations) and money deposited with the Refunding Trustee pursuant to this
ordinance and the Refunding Trust Agreement. All Acquired Obligations (or Substitute
Obligations) and money deposited with the Refunding Trustee and any income therefrom shall
be held irrevocably, invested and applied in accordance with the provisions of the applicable
Parity Bond Ordinance authorizing the Refunded Bonds, this ordinance, chapter 39.53 RCW and
other applicable laws of the State and the Refunding Trust Agreement. All necessary and proper
fees, compensation and expenses of the Refunding Trustee and all other costs incidental to the
setting up of the escrow to accomplish the Refunding Plan and costs related to the issuance, sale
and delivery of the Bonds, including bond printing, rating agency fees, verification fees, Bond
Counsel's fees and other related expenses, shall be paid out of the proceeds of the Bonds.
(f) Authorization for Refunding Trust Agreement. To carry out the Refunding Plan,
the Designated Representative is authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Refunding
Trustee the Refunding Trust Agreement setting forth the duties, obligations and responsibilities
of the Refunding Trustee in connection with the payment, redemption and retirement of the
Refunded Bonds as provided herein and stating that the provisions for payment of the fees,
compensation and expenses of the Refunding Trustee set forth therein are satisfactory to it.
(g) Call for Redemption of the Refunded Bonds. The Designated Representative is
authorized to call the Refunded Bonds for redemption on their applicable Redemption Dates at
par, plus accrued interest. Such call for redemption shall be irrevocable after the delivery of the
Bonds to the Purchaser. The Refunding Trustee is authorized and directed to give or cause to be
given such notices as required, at the times and in the manner required, pursuant to the
ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Refunded Bonds and the Refunding Trust Agreement
to carry out the Refunding Plan.
(h) Additional Finding with Respect to Refunding. Prior to the execution and delivery
of the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Designated Representative shall determine, on behalf of
the City, that the issuance, sale and delivery of the Refunding Bonds will effect a net present
value savings to the City and its ratepayers as set forth in paragraph (i)(2) of Exhibit A. The City
Council finds and determines that such net present value savings is a substantial savings and that
achieving such net present value savings by issuing the Bonds is in the best interest of the City
and in the public interest. In making the finding and determination that the issuance, sale and
delivery of the Bonds will effect such net present value savings, the Designated Representative
shall give consideration to the fixed maturities of the Refunding Bonds and the Refunded Bonds,
the costs related to the issuance, sale and delivery of the Refunding Bonds and the known earned
income from the investment of the proceeds of the issuance and sale of the Refunding Bonds and
the City Contribution, if any, used in the Refunding Plan pending payment and redemption of the
Refunded Bonds.
The Designated Representative further shall find and determine that the money to be
deposited with the Refunding Trustee to carry out the Refunding Plan will discharge and satisfy
the obligations of the City under the applicable Parity Bond Ordinance, and the pledges, charges,
trusts, covenants and agreements of the City therein made or provided for as to the Refunded
Bonds, and that the Refunded Bonds will no longer be deemed to be outstanding under
Page 41 of 140
-22-
51615205.7
applicable Parity Bond Ordinance immediately upon the deposit of such money with the
Refunding Trustee.
Section 20. Sale and Delivery of the Bonds.
(a) Manner of Sale of Bonds; Delivery of Bonds. It is anticipated that each Series of
Bonds will be sold by negotiated sale to the Purchaser and that the Purchaser will present a Bond
Purchase Agreement to the City offering to purchase each or multiple Series of Bonds. The
Designated Representative is authorized on the City’s behalf to accept the Final Terms of, and
execute, one or more Bond Purchase Agreements, based on the assessment of the Designated
Representative of market conditions, in consultation with appropriate City officials and staff,
Bond Counsel and other advisors, and so long as the terms provided therein are consistent with
the terms of this ordinance. In accepting the Final Terms, the Designated Representative shall
take into account those factors that, in the judgment of the Designated Representative, may be
expected to result in the lowest true interest cost to the City. The Bond Purchase Agreement shall
set forth the Final Terms of each Series of Bonds.
(b) Preparation, Execution and Delivery of the Bonds. The Bonds will be prepared at
City expense and will be delivered to the Purchaser in accordance with the Bond Purchase
Agreement, together with the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel regarding the Bonds.
Section 21. Official Statement; Continuing Disclosure.
(a) Preliminary Official Statement Deemed Final. The Designated Representative
shall review and, if acceptable to him or her, approve the preliminary Official Statement
prepared in connection with the sale of the Bonds to the public. For the sole purpose of the
Purchaser’s compliance with paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 15c2-12, the Designated Representative is
authorized to deem that preliminary Official Statement final as of its date, except for the
omission of information permitted to be omitted by Rule 15c2-12. The City approves the
distribution to potential purchasers of the Bonds of a preliminary Official Statement that has
been approved by the Designated Representative and been deemed final, if applicable, in
accordance with this subsection.
(b) Approval of Final Official Statement. The City approves the preparation of a final
Official Statement for the Bonds to be sold to the public in the form of the preliminary Official
Statement that has been approved and deemed final in accordance with subsection (a), with such
modifications and amendments as the Designated Representative deems necessary or desirable,
and further authorizes the Designated Representative to execute and deliver such final Official
Statement to the Purchaser. The City authorizes and approves the distribution by the Purchaser of
the final Official Statement so executed and delivered to purchasers and potential purchasers of
the Bonds.
(c) Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure. If necessary to meet the
requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of Rule 15c2-12, as applicable to the Purchaser acting as a
participating underwriter for the Bonds, the Designated Representative is authorized to execute a
written undertaking to provide continuing disclosure for the benefit of holders of the Bonds in
substantially the form attached as Exhibit C.

Section 22. General Authorization and Ratification. The Designated Representative
and other appropriate officers of the City are severally authorized to take such actions and to
execute such documents as in their judgment may be necessary or desirable to carry out the
transactions contemplated in connection with this ordinance, and to do everything necessary for
the prompt delivery of the Bonds to the Purchaser and for the proper application, use and
investment of the proceeds of the Bonds. All actions taken prior to the effective date of this
ordinance in furtherance of the purposes described in this ordinance and not inconsistent with the
terms of this ordinance are ratified and confirmed in all respects.
Section 23. Severability. The provisions of this ordinance are declared to be separate
and severable. If a court of competent jurisdiction, all appeals having been exhausted or all
appeal periods having run, finds any provision of this ordinance to be invalid or unenforceable as
to any person or circumstance, such offending provision shall, if feasible, be deemed to be
modified to be within the limits of enforceability or validity. However, if the offending provision
cannot be so modified, it shall be null and void with respect to the particular person or
circumstance, and all other provisions of this ordinance in all other respects, and the offending
provision with respect to all other persons and all other circumstances, shall remain valid and

PARITY CONDITIONS
(a) There shall be no deficiency in the Bond Fund.
(b) The ordinance providing for the issuance of the Future Parity Bonds shall provide
that all ULID Assessments shall be paid directly into the Bond Fund, except for any prepaid
assessments permitted by law to be paid into a construction fund or account.
(c) The ordinance providing for the issuance of such Future Parity Bonds shall
provide for the deposit into the Reserve Account (if such Future Parity Bonds are secured by the
Reserve Account) of (i) an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement for those Future Parity
Bonds from the Future Parity Bond proceeds, or (ii) Reserve Insurance or Alternate Security or
an amount plus Reserve Insurance or Alternate Security equal to the Reserve Requirement for
those Future Parity Bonds, or (iii) to the extent that the Reserve Requirement is not funded from
Future Parity Bond proceeds or Reserve Insurance or Alternate Security at the time of issuance
of those Future Parity Bonds, by no later than the fifth anniversary date from the dated date of
the respective issue of Future Parity Bonds from ULID Assessments, if any, levied and first
collected for the payment of the principal of and interest on those Future Parity Bonds and, to the
extent that ULID Assessments are insufficient, then from the Net Revenue of the Waterworks
Utility in approximately equal annual payments, the Reserve Requirement for those Future Parity
Bonds. No Reserve Insurance or Alternate Security may be used to satisfy the Reserve
Requirement for Future Parity Bonds unless (i) the insurance policy or Alternate Security is non-
cancelable and (ii) the insurer or provider of the Alternate Security as of the time of issuance of
such insurance or Alternate Security is rated in the highest rating categories by both Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc., and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services; however, when the 2009

Interest Account.
(e) There shall be on file from a licensed professional engineer experienced in the
design, construction and operation of municipal utilities, or from an independent certified public
accountant, a certificate showing that in his or her professional opinion the Net Revenue of the
Waterworks Utility for any 12 consecutive calendar months out of the immediately preceding 24
calendar months shall be equal to the Coverage Requirement for each year thereafter, except that
such certificate may be provided by a City representative if it is based solely upon actual
historical Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility without any adjustment.
Page 46 of 140
B-2
51615205.7
The certificate, in estimating the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility available
for debt service, shall use the historical Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility for any 12
consecutive months out of the 24 months immediately preceding the month of delivery of the
Future Parity Bonds. Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility may be adjusted to reflect:
(1) Any changes in rates in effect and being charged or expressly adopted by
ordinance to take effect within 180 days after the date of this Certificate;
(2) Income derived from customers of the Waterworks Utility that have
become customers during the 12 consecutive month period or thereafter adjusted to
reflect one year’s net revenue from those customers;
(3) Revenue from any customers to be connected to the Waterworks Utility
who have paid the required connection charges;

firm, corporation or municipal corporation under any executed contract for water, sewage

Waterworks Utility to be derived from customers to connect within 180 days after the
date of the completion of the additions to and improvements and extensions of the
Waterworks Utility to be paid for out of the proceeds of the sale of the additional Future
Parity Bonds or from other additions to and improvements and extensions of the
Waterworks Utility then under construction and not fully connected to the facilities of the
Waterworks Utility when such additions, improvements and extensions are completed;
and
(6) Any increases or decreases in Net Revenue as a result of any actual or
reasonably anticipated changes in Operating and Maintenance Expense subsequent to the
12 month period.
If Future Parity Bonds proposed to be so issued are for the sole purpose of refunding
outstanding bonds payable from the Bond Fund, such certification of coverage shall not be
required if the amount required for the payment of the principal and interest in each year for the
refunding bonds is not increased over the amount for that year required for the bonds to be
refunded thereby and if the maturities of such refunding bonds are not extended beyond the
maturities of the bonds to be refunded thereby.

This Official Statement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the
Bonds by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such offer, solicitation or sale. No
dealer, broker, salesperson, or other person has been authorized by the City or the Underwriter to give any information or to
make any representations with respect to the Bonds other than those contained in this Official Statement and, if given or made,
such information or representations must not be relied upon. The City makes no representation regarding the accuracy or
completeness of Bond Counsel’s form of opinion, information related to the Underwriter or information provided by the
Underwriter regarding the reoffering prices, or the information in Appendix D—“Book-Entry Transfer System,” which has
been provided by DTC, or information under the heading “CITY PROFILE Authorized Investments Local Government
Investment Pool,” which was extracted from the State Treasurer’s website, or information provided under the heading “CITY
PROFILE Risk Management,” which was provided by the Washington Cities Insurance Authority. The information and
expressions of opinion herein are subject to change without notice, and neither the delivery of this Official Statement nor any
sale made by use of this Official Statement shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change
in the affairs of the City since the date hereof.
The Underwriter has provided the following sentence for inclusion in this Official Statement. The Underwriter has reviewed
the information in this Official Statement in accordance with, and as part of, its responsibilities to investors under the federal
securities laws as applied to the facts and circumstances of this transaction, but the Underwriter does not guarantee the accuracy
or completeness of such information.
Certain statements contained in this Official Statement do not reflect historical facts, but are forecasts and “forward-looking
statements.” No assurance can be given that the future results discussed herein will be achieved, and actual results may differ
materially from the forecasts described herein. In this respect, words such as “estimated,” “projected,” “anticipate,” “expect,”
“intend,” “plan,” “believe” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All projections,
assumptions and other forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth
in this Official Statement. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were prepared. The City specifically
disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or
circumstances after the date of this Official Statement, except as otherwise expressly provided in “CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE.”
The presentation of certain information, including tables of revenues of the Waterworks Utility, is intended to show recent
historic information and is not intended to indicate future or continuing trends in the financial position or other affairs of the
City. No representation is made that past experience, as it might be shown by such financial and other information, will
necessarily continue or be repeated in the future. Information relating to debt and tax limitations is based on existing statutes
and constitutional provisions. Changes in State law could also alter these provisions.
The order and placement of materials in this Official Statement, including the appendices, are not to be deemed to be a
determination of relevance, materiality or importance, and this Official Statement, including the appendices, must be considered
in its entirety. The offering of the Bonds is made only by means of this entire Official Statement.
The Bonds have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Bond Ordinance has not been
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in reliance upon exemptions contained in such acts. The
registration or qualification of the Bonds in accordance with applicable provisions of securities laws of the state in which the
Bonds have been registered or qualified and the exemption from the registration or qualification in other states cannot be
regarded as a recommendation thereof. Neither these states nor any of their agencies have passed upon the merits of the Bonds
or the accuracy or completeness of this Official Statement. Any representation to the contrary may be a criminal offense.
In connection with this offering, the Underwriter may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price
of the Bonds at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such stabilization, if commenced, may
be discontinued at any time without prior notice to any person.
This Preliminary Official Statement, as of its date, is in a form deemed final by the City for purposes of Securities and Exchange
Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(1) but is subject to revision, amendment, and completion in a final Official Statement which will
be available within seven business days after the sale date.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON
$9,305,000*
WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENT REVENUE BONDS, 2017
INTRODUCTION
The City of Pasco, Washington (the “City”), a municipal corporation duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the
laws of the State of Washington (the “State”), furnishes this Official Statement in connection with the issuance and sale by the
City of its $9,305,000* Water and Sewer Improvement Revenue Bonds, 2017 (the “Bonds”).
The Bonds are issued pursuant to the Constitution of the State, Title 35A and chapters 35.92 and 39.46 of the Revised Code of
Washington (“RCW”) and Ordinance No. 4365 (the “Bond Ordinance”), passed by the City Council on November 20, 2017.
The Bonds are secured by a pledge of the Net Revenues of the Waterworks Utility. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS.”
The Waterworks Utility, as defined in the Bond Ordinance, means the combined sewerage system and water system of the City,
together with the storm or surface water sewers and agricultural/industrial wastewater treatment facilities heretofore or hereafter
authorized to be constructed and installed as a part of such combined systems, and together with all additions thereto and
betterments and extensions thereof now or hereafter made.
Capitalized terms used herein, if not specifically defined herein, are used as defined in the Bond Ordinance. See
APPENDIX A—“CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.”
DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS
General
The Bonds will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $9,305,000* and will be dated and bear interest from the date of
their initial delivery. The Bonds will mature on the dates and in the principal amounts and will bear interest payable
semiannually on each June 1 and December 1, beginning June 1, 2018, at the respective rates as set forth on the inside cover
of this Official Statement. Interest on the Bonds will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months.
The Bonds are being issued on parity with the City’s Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, 2009, outstanding in the amount of
$6,485,000** (the (“2009 Bonds”), Water and Sewer Improvement and Refunding Revenue Bonds, 2010A, and Water and
Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, 2010T, outstanding in the aggregate amount of $4,660,000 (the “2010 Bonds”), Water and
Sewer Revenue Bonds, 2013A and 2013T, outstanding in the aggregate amount of $8,585,000 (the “2013 Bonds”) and Water
and Sewer Improvement and Refunding Revenue Bonds, 2015, outstanding in the amount of $14,170,000 (the “2015 Bonds”)
(collectively the “Outstanding Parity Bonds” and, together with the Bonds and any Future Parity Bonds, the “Parity Bonds”).
The Bonds are not general obligations of the City, and neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the City, Franklin
County, the State or any political subdivision thereof is pledged for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds.
Bond Registrar and Registration Features
Bond Registrar. The State’s fiscal agent, currently U.S. Bank National Association (the “Bond Registrar”), will authenticate
the Bonds and act as the paying agent and registrar for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds,
recording the purchase and registration, exchange or transfer, and payment of the Bonds and performing the other respective
obligations of the paying agent and registrar. No resignation or removal of the Bond Registrar shall become effective until a
successor has been appointed and has accepted the duties of Bond Registrar.
Book-Entry System. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds and, when issued, will be initially registered in the
name of Cede & Co., as the nominee for the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). DTC will act as initial securities depository
for the Bonds (“Securities Depository”). Individual purchases and sales of the Bonds may be made in book-entry form only in
minimum denominations of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof within a maturity (“Authorized Denominations”). So long as
* Preliminary; subject to change.
** Excludes 2009 Bonds maturing on May 1, 2022 and May 1, 2024 that are subject to extraordinary redemption provisions and are
scheduled to be redeemed on December 5, 2017.
Page 58 of 140

the Bonds are in book-entry only form, principal of and interest on the Bonds will be payable as required by the operational
arrangements DTC referenced in the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations between the City and DTC, dated August 31,
1998 (the “Letter of Representations”). The Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their interest in the
Bonds. For information about DTC and its book-entry system, see Appendix D—“BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM.” The City
makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the information in Appendix D provided by DTC. Purchasers
of the Bonds should confirm this information with DTC or its broker-dealer participants.
Interest on each Bond not registered in the name of the Securities Depository is payable by check or draft of the Bond Registrar
mailed on the interest payment date to the person in whose name a Bond is registered on the Bond Register (the “Registered
Owner”) at the addresses appearing on the Bond Register on the 15th day of the month preceding an interest payment date
(“Record Date”) or by electronic transfer on the interest payment date. The City is not required to make electronic transfers
except pursuant to a request by a Registered Owner of the Bonds in writing received on or prior to the Record Date and at the
sole expense of that Registered Owner. Principal of each Bond not registered in the name of the Securities Depository is
payable upon presentation and surrender of the Bond by the Registered Owner to the Bond Registrar.
Procedure in the Event of Revisions of Book-Entry System. If (i) the Securities Depository resigns and the City does not
appoint a substitute Securities Depository, or (ii) the City terminates the services of the Securities Depository, the Bonds will
no longer be held in book-entry only form and the registered ownership of each Bond may be transferred to any person as
provided in the Bond Ordinance.
Transfer and Exchange of Bonds. The Bonds will be subject to transfer and exchange as provided in the Bond Ordinance.
Redemption Provisions and Purchase of Bonds
Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing in the years 20__ through 20__, inclusive, are not subject to redemption prior to
their stated maturity dates. The Bonds maturing on or after December 1, 20__ are subject to redemption prior to their stated
maturity dates, at the option of the City, at any time on or after _________ 1, 20__ as a whole or in part at par plus accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption.
Mandatory Redemption. The Bonds maturing on December 1 in each of the years [__________] are term bonds (the “Term
Bonds”), and, if not optionally redeemed or purchased, will be called for redemption at a price equal to the principal amount to
be redeemed plus accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption on December 1 in the years and principal amount as
follows:

Amount
If a Term Bond is redeemed under the optional redemption provisions, defeased or purchased by the City and surrendered for
cancellation, the principal amount of the Term Bond so redeemed, defeased or purchased (irrespective of its actual redemption
or purchase price) will be credited against one or more scheduled mandatory redemption installments for that Term Bond in
the manner described below regarding the selection of Bonds for redemption.
Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed at the option of the City,
the City will select the maturities to be redeemed. For as long as the Bonds are in book-entry only form, if fewer than all of
the Bonds of a maturity are called for redemption, the selection of Bonds within a maturity to be redeemed will be made by the
Securities Depository in accordance with the Letter of Representations. If the Bonds are no longer held in book-entry only
form, then the Bond Registrar would select Bonds for redemption randomly within a maturity in such manner as the Bond
Registrar determines.
Partial Redemption. All or a portion of the principal amount of any Bond that is to be redeemed may be redeemed in any
Authorized Denomination. If less than all of the outstanding principal amount of any Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of that
Bond to the Bond Registrar, there will be issued to the Registered Owner, without charge a new Bond (or Bonds, at the option
of the Registered Owner) of the same maturity and interest rate in any Authorized Denomination in the aggregate principal
amount remaining unredeemed.
Notice of Redemption (Book-Entry). So long as the Bonds are in book-entry only form, notice of any redemption of Bonds
will be given as required by the Letter of Representations.
Page 59 of 140
3
Notice of Redemption (No Book-Entry). During any period in which the Bonds are not in book-entry only form, unless waived
by any Registered Owner of the Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any redemption of Bonds will be given by the Bond
Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing a copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least
20 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the Registered Owners of the Bonds to be redeemed
at the address shown on the books or records maintained by the Bond Registrar for the purpose of identifying ownership of
the Bonds (the “Bond Register”) on the Bond Registrar’s close of business on the date the Bond Registrar sends the notice of
redemption, and such requirement will be satisfied when notice has been mailed as so provided, whether or not it is actually
received by the Registered Owner or Beneficial Owner.
Conditional Notice of Redemption. In the case of an optional redemption, the notice of redemption may state that the City
retains the right to rescind the redemption notice and the redemption by giving a notice of rescission to the affected Registered
Owners at any time on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice of optional redemption that is so rescinded will be
of no effect, and each Bond for which a notice of redemption has been rescinded will remain outstanding.
Effect of Redemption. Interest on each Bond called for redemption will cease to accrue on the date fixed for redemption, unless
either the notice of optional redemption is rescinded, or money sufficient to effect such redemption is not on deposit in the
City’s Water and Sewer Revenue and Refunding Bond Redemption Fund, 1991 (the “Bond Fund”) or in a trust account
established to refund or defease the Bond.
Purchase of Bonds. The City has reserved the right to purchase any or all of the Bonds offered to the City at any time at any
price acceptable to the City plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.
Failure to Pay Bonds
If the principal of any Bond is not paid when the Bond is properly presented at its maturity or date fixed for redemption, as
applicable, the City will be obligated to pay interest on that Bond at the same rate provided in the Bond from and after its
maturity or date fixed for redemption until that Bond, both principal and interest, is paid in full or until sufficient money for its
payment in full is on deposit in the Bond Fund, or in a trust account established to refund or defease the Bond, and the Bond
has been called for payment by giving notice of that call to the Registered Owner.
Refunding or Defeasance
The City may issue refunding bonds pursuant to State law or use money available from any other lawful source to carry out a
refunding or defeasance plan, which may include (a) paying when due the principal of and interest on any or all of the Bonds
(the “defeased Bonds”); (b) redeeming the defeased Bonds prior to their maturity; and (c) paying the costs of the refunding or
defeasance. If the City sets aside in a special trust fund or escrow account irrevocably pledged to that redemption or defeasance
(the “trust account”) money and/or “government obligations” (as defined by chapter 39.53 Revised Code of Washington
(“RCW”), as now in effect or hereafter amended) maturing at a time or times and bearing interest in amounts sufficient to
redeem, refund or defease the defeased Bonds in accordance with their terms, then all right and interest of the owners of the
defeased Bonds in the covenants of the Bond Ordinance and in the Gross Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, ULID
Assessments, funds and accounts obligated to the payment of the defeased Bonds will cease and become void. Thereafter, the
owners of defeased Bonds will have the right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the defeased Bonds solely
from the trust account and the defeased Bonds will be deemed no longer outstanding. In that event, the City may apply money
remaining in any fund or account (other than the trust account) established for the payment or redemption of the defeased
Bonds to any lawful purpose, subject only to the rights of the Owners of any other Parity Bonds then outstanding.
As currently defined in RCW 39.53.010(4), “government obligations” means (a) direct obligations of, or obligations the
principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America and bank certificates of
deposit secured by such obligations; (b) bonds, debentures, notes, participation certificates, or other obligations issued by the
Banks for Cooperatives, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank System, the Export-Import Bank
of the United States, federal land banks, or the Federal National Mortgage Association; (c) public housing bonds and project
notes fully secured by contracts with the United States; and (d) obligations of financial institutions insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, to the extent insured or guaranteed as
permitted under any other provision of State law.
PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Purpose
Proceeds of the Bonds will be used to (a) finance the costs of a plan of additions and betterments and extensions of the
Waterworks Utility (see “Plan of Additions” below); (b) fund the reserve account in the Bond Fund (the “Reserve Account”);
and (c) pay the costs of issuance of the Bonds.

Plan of Additions
Proceeds of the Bonds will be used to improve various aspects of the City’s sewer system, water system, and storm water
infrastructure that have been deemed inefficient or of future risk of failure, and general system improvements. Planned projects
include:
Lift station: construct new suction valves, access hatches, pumps and pipes to increase worker safety and keep up with
increased waste water flows
Northwest Area Sewer Transmission Main: construct extension to aid in future development in the northwest area of
the City.
Pearl Street Lift Station Improvements: replace the existing 1950s lift station.
Richardson Road Water Line Replacement: replace thin-wall polyvinyl chloride (PVC) irrigation class line with 8”
ductile iron pipe from road 92 to road 96 and provide fire protection by via three new hydrants.
West Pasco Trunk Sewer Line: repair and reline the 30” trunk line and manholes from road 60 to road 100 to prevent
failure of the line that currently has rebar exposed from sulfide gas corrosion.
West Pasco Water Treatment Plant (“WTP”) Backwash Recovery Improvements & High Service Pump and Yard
Piping: add needed pumping capacity to the high-service pump station and provide additional filter backwash
capability. The project will coincide with the PALL-brand micro-filter expansion project and include the required
piping to connect to the Zone 1 transmission main.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility (“WWTP”) Plan Improvements: determine capital improvement projects needed
to keep compliance with the WWTP National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) Permit, and help
meet future capacity needs. The Facility Plan will identify projects expected to total $25,000,000 and align with the
City’s future NPDES Permit; a portion of which may be financed with proceeds of the Bonds. Additionally, this plan
will tie together previous planning efforts.

SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
Pledge of Revenue and Lien Position
The Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility and ULID Assessments are pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest
on the Bonds when due and shall constitute a lien and charge upon that Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility and ULID
Assessments prior and superior to any other charges whatsoever, except that the lien and charge upon such Net Revenue and
ULID Assessments for the Bonds shall be on a parity with the lien and charge thereon for any outstanding Parity Bonds.
Utility Local Improvement Districts
The City currently has three utility local improvement districts (“ULIDs”) with assessments currently outstanding that have
been pledged to the Bond Fund for payment of Parity Bonds. The City may create ULIDs in the future and may issue Future
Parity Bonds to finance improvements within a ULID, consistent with the Parity Conditions described below under the heading
“Future Parity Bonds.” The term “ULID assessments” (not capitalized) is used in this document to refer generically to any
assessments in a ULID, whether or not such assessments are pledged to the Bond Fund. If capitalized (“ULID Assessments”),
the term refers specifically to assessments that have been pledged to the Bond Fund for payment of Parity Bonds.
In General. Under State law, the City may establish ULIDs and may levy special assessments to pay in whole or in part the
costs of any improvements within the ULID, under a mode of annual installments on all property specially benefited by any
local improvement, with the amount of the assessment based on the special benefit to each parcel within the ULID. The City
must permit each property owner to pay its assessment in full within a 30-day prepayment period and to pay the remaining
outstanding balance in annual installments of principal and interest.
Lien of Assessments. ULID assessments constitute a lien on the property assessed from the time the City places the assessment
roll in the hands of the county treasurer for collection. The interest and penalties are included in and become a part of the
assessment lien. State law provides that an assessment lien is paramount to all other liens, except the lien for general property
taxes and the homestead exemption. Under State law, the homestead exemption permits any head of a family to protect a certain
portion of the homestead (residence) from forced sale.
In 1982, the Washington State Court of Appeals held, in City of Algona v. Sharp, et al., that the filing for a homestead exemption
before a scheduled foreclosure sale of residential property valued at less than the statutory homestead exemption (currently
$125,000) effectively exempted that property from a forced sale to enforce delinquent special assessments in a special benefit
assessment district such as a local improvement district or utility local improvement district.
Foreclosure of Assessments. The manner in which delinquent ULID assessments may be foreclosed is set forth in detail in State
law. Foreclosure proceedings may be initiated if on the first day of January two installments of any assessment are delinquent,
or if the final installment has been delinquent for more than one year. Property foreclosed upon is sold by the county, and the
laws governing appeals from general tax foreclosure judgments apply similarly to appeals from judgments obtained in a local
improvement assessment lien foreclosure action. Proceeds of the sale of any property foreclosed upon in the manner required
by law, up to the amount of the unpaid assessment and interest and penalties thereon, are deposited into and become a part of
the Bond Fund.
Rate Covenant and Coverage Requirement
So long as any Parity Bonds are outstanding, the City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance that it will maintain and collect
such rates as will produce sufficient Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, together with ULID Assessment collections, as
will make available for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Parity Bonds as they come due and for payments as
required to be made into the Reserve Account an amount at least equal to the Coverage Requirement and, in addition thereto,
that it will pay all Operating and Maintenance Expenses and otherwise meet the obligations of the City as set forth in the Bond
Ordinance.
“Coverage Requirement” in any year means an amount of Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, together with the ULID
Assessments collected in that year, equal to at least the Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Assessment Bonds plus an
amount of the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility not used to calculate the Coverage Requirement on Assessment Bonds
equal to at least 1.25 times Maximum Annual Debt Service on all bonds payable from the Bond Fund that are not Assessment
Bonds.
Bond Fund
The Bond Fund is divided into two accounts, the Principal and Interest Account and the Reserve Account. So long as any
Parity Bonds are outstanding against the Bond Fund, the Finance Director shall set aside and pay into the Bond Fund all ULID
Page 62 of 140
6
Assessments upon their collection and, out of the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility, certain fixed amounts without regard
to any fixed proportion, namely, amounts, together with any ULID Assessments collected by the City and deposited into the
applicable account in the Bond Fund and investment earnings in that account, as follows:
a) Into the Principal and Interest Account, on or before each interest or principal and interest payment date, an amount
equal to the interest or the principal and interest to become due and payable on that interest or principal and interest
payment date of all Parity Bonds; and
b) Into the Reserve Account, on the issue date of the Bonds, an amount sufficient, together with the Reserve Insurance,
to fully fund the Reserve Requirement for all Parity Bonds.
Money deposited in the Reserve Account for the Reserve Requirement for all Parity Bonds may be decreased for any issue of
Parity Bonds when and to the extent the City has provided for an Alternate Security or Reserve Insurance for those bonds.
When the 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2015 Parity Bonds are no longer outstanding, the following shall become effective: The City
may establish, for one or more series of Future Parity Bonds, a separate reserve requirement (which may be zero), to be held
in a separate reserve account, for the purpose of securing those Future Parity Bonds, and those Future Parity Bonds will not be
secured by amounts in the Reserve Account or by any Reserve Insurance credited to the Reserve Account.
The City may establish additional accounts in the Bond Fund for the deposit of ULID Assessments after the deposit of the
required amount in the other funds.
If the City shall fail to set aside and pay into the Bond Fund the amounts which it has obligated itself by the Bond Ordinance
to set aside and pay therein, the owner of any Bond may bring suit against the City to compel it to do so.
Reserve Account
The Reserve Account for any Future Parity Bonds may be accumulated from any other funds which the City legally may have
available for such purpose in addition to using ULID Assessments and Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility.
When the required amounts have been paid into the Reserve Account in the Bond Fund, the City will maintain those amounts
therein at all times, except for withdrawals therefrom as authorized in the Bond Ordinance, until there is sufficient money in
the Bond Fund, including the Reserve Account therein, to pay the principal of and interest to maturity on all outstanding
bonds payable from the Bond Fund, at which time no further payments need be made into the Bond Fund, and the money in
the Bond Fund, including the Reserve Account, may be used to pay that principal and interest.
If there shall be a deficiency in the Principal and Interest Account to meet maturing installments of either principal or interest,
as the case may be, on the Bonds, the deficiency shall be made up from the Reserve Account by first the withdrawal of cash
and investments therefrom and after all cash and investments have been depleted, then by the draws on the Reserve Insurance
for that purpose on a pro rata basis. Any deficiency created in the Reserve Account by reason of any withdrawal shall then be
made up from the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility first available after making necessary provisions for the required
payments into the Principal and Interest Account. The Reserve Insurer shall be reimbursed first, within one year, to reinstate
the Reserve Insurance, before the balance of the Reserve Requirement is restored.
All money in the Reserve Account not needed to meet the payments of principal and interest when due may be kept on deposit
in the official bank depository of the City or in any national bank or may be invested in any legal investment for City funds
maturing not later than the interest or principal and interest payment date when the money will be needed. Interest on any of
those investments or on that bank account shall be deposited in and become a part of the Reserve Account until the Reserve
Requirement shall have been accumulated therein, after which time the interest shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account.
Notwithstanding the provisions for the deposit or maintenance of earnings in accounts of the Bond Fund, any earnings which
are subject to a federal tax or rebate requirement may be withdrawn from the Bond Fund for deposit into a separate fund or
account for that purpose.
The City currently has in place, to meet a portion of the Reserve Requirement for Parity Bonds, a surety bond issued by Ambac
Assurance Corporation (“Ambac”) in the amount of $2,108,930, which expires on December 1, 2019. Ambac is currently rated
Caa2 by Moody’s Investors Service Inc. and S&P Global withdrew its rating in November 2010. The City also currently has
$2,900,240 of cash and investments in the Reserve Account. In anticipation of the expiration of the Ambac surety bond, the
City will use up to ten percent of the proceeds of the Bonds to increase the amount of cash and investments in the Reserve
Account to approximately $3,262,114. Further, the City will make additional payments into the Reserve Account, or obtain a
new surety bond, as required to replace the Ambac surety bond prior to its expiration in 2019. See Appendix A“CERTAIN
DEFINITIONS” for a definition of the Reserve Requirement.

Flow of Funds
Funds in the Water and Sewer Revenue Fund shall be used in the following order of priority:
a) To pay Operating and Maintenance Expenses;
b) To make all payments required to be made into the Bond Fund to pay and secure the payment of the Annual Debt
Service on all outstanding Parity Bonds;
c) To make all payments required to be made into the Reserve Account and to make all payments (principal and interest)
required to be made in connection with Reserve Insurance and any Alternate Security, except if there is not sufficient
money to make all payments for Reserve Insurance and any Alternate Security, the payments shall be made on a pro
rata basis with deposits in the Reserve Account;
d) To make all payments required to be made into the loan redemption funds or accounts, and other revenue bond
redemption funds created to pay the debt service on any revenue obligation having a lien upon the Net Revenue of the
Waterworks Utility subordinate to the lien of the Parity Bonds; and
e) To make necessary additions, betterments, improvements or repairs to the Waterworks Utility, and to retire by
redemption or purchase any outstanding Parity Bonds, or for any other lawful purpose.
Additional Covenants of the City
The City has further covenanted and agreed with the Owner of each of the Bonds as follows:
a) It will not sell, lease, mortgage, or in any manner encumber or dispose of all the properties of the Waterworks Utility
unless provision is made for payment into the Bond Fund of an amount sufficient either to defease all outstanding
Parity Bonds or to pay the principal of and interest on all the outstanding Parity Bonds in accordance with the terms
thereof; and further binds itself irrevocably not to mortgage, sell, lease or in any manner dispose of any part of the
Waterworks Utility that is used, useful and material to the operation of such utility unless provision is made for
replacement thereof or for payment into the Bond Fund of an amount which shall bear the same ratio to the amount
of outstanding Parity Bonds as the Net Revenue available for debt service for such bonds for the twelve months
preceding such sale, lease, encumbrance or disposal from the portion of the Waterworks Utility so leased, encumbered
or disposed of bears to the Net Revenue available for debt service for such bonds from the entire Waterworks Utility
for the same period. Any such money so paid into the Bond Fund shall be used to retire outstanding Parity Bonds at
the earliest possible date.
b) It will maintain and keep the Waterworks Utility in good repair, working order and condition and operate such utility
and the business in connection therewith in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost.
c) It will keep proper books of accounts and records separate and apart from other accounts and records, in which
complete and correct entries will be made of all transactions relating to the Waterworks Utility of the City, and it will
make available to any Owner on written request the annual operating and income statements of the Waterworks Utility.
d) Except to aid the poor or infirm, to provide for resource conservation or to provide for the proper handling of hazardous
materials, it will not furnish water or sewerage service to any customer whatsoever free of charge and it will, not later
than 60 days after the end of each calendar year, take such legal action as may be feasible to enforce collection of all
collectible delinquent accounts and, in addition thereto, will promptly avail itself of its utility lien rights, as set forth
in applicable statutes.
e) It will carry the types of insurance on its Waterworks Utility properties in the amounts normally carried by private
water and sewer companies engaged in the operation of water and sewerage systems, and the cost of such insurance
will be considered a part of Operating and Maintenance Expenses, or it will implement and maintain a self-insurance
program or an insurance pool program with reserves adequate, in the judgment of the City Council, to protect the
owners of the Parity Bonds against loss.
f) To the extent permitted by State law, it will maintain its corporate identity and existence so long as any Bonds remain
outstanding.
g) It will not grant any competing utility service franchise and will use all legal means to prevent competition with the
Waterworks Utility.
Page 64 of 140

h) If on the first day of January in any year, two installments of any ULID Assessment are delinquent, or the final
installment of any ULID Assessment has been delinquent for more than one year, the City will proceed with the
foreclosure of the delinquent assessment or delinquent installments thereof in the manner provided by law.
Future Parity Bonds
The City has reserved the right to issue Future Parity Bonds if the following conditions are met and complied with at the time
of the issuance of those Future Parity Bonds:
a) There shall be no deficiency in the Bond Fund.
b) The ordinance providing for the issuance of the Future Parity Bonds shall provide that all ULID Assessments shall be
paid directly into the Bond Fund, except for any prepaid assessments permitted by law to be paid into a construction
fund or account.
c) The ordinance providing for the issuance of such Future Parity Bonds shall provide for the deposit into the Reserve
Account (if such Future Parity Bonds are secured by the Reserve Account) of (i) an amount equal to the Reserve
Requirement for those Future Parity Bonds from the Future Parity Bond proceeds, or (ii) Reserve Insurance or
Alternate Security or an amount plus Reserve Insurance or Alternate Security equal to the Reserve Requirement for
those Future Parity Bonds, or (iii) to the extent that the Reserve Requirement is not funded from Future Parity Bond
proceeds or Reserve Insurance or Alternate Security at the time of issuance of those Future Parity Bonds, by no later
than the fifth anniversary date from the dated date of the respective issue of Future Parity Bonds from ULID
Assessments, if any, levied and first collected for the payment of the principal of and interest on those Future Parity
Bonds and, to the extent that ULID Assessments are insufficient, then from the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility
in approximately equal annual payments, the Reserve Requirement for those Future Parity Bonds. No Reserve
Insurance or Alternate Security may be used to satisfy the Reserve Requirement for Future Parity Bonds unless (i) the
insurance policy or Alternate Security is non-cancelable and (ii) the insurer or provider of the Alternate Security as of
the time of issuance of such insurance or Alternate Security is rated in the highest rating categories by both Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc., and S&P Global; however, when the Outstanding Parity Bonds are no longer outstanding, the
Reserve Insurance or Alternate Security may be rated as of the time of issuance of such insurance or Alternate Security
in one of the two-highest categories by either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or S&P Global.
d) The ordinance authorizing the issuance of such Future Parity Bonds shall provide for the payment of mandatory
redemption or sinking fund requirements into the Bond Fund for any Term Bonds to be issued and for regular payments
to be made for the payment of the principal of such Term Bonds on or before their maturity, or, as an alternative, the
mandatory redemption of those Term Bonds prior to their maturity date from money in the Principal and Interest
Account.
e) There shall be on file from a licensed professional engineer experienced in the design, construction and operation of
municipal utilities, or from an independent certified public accountant, a certificate showing that in his or her
professional opinion the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility for any 12 consecutive calendar months out of the
immediately preceding 24 calendar months shall be equal to the Coverage Requirement for each year thereafter, except
that such certificate may be provided by a City representative if it is based solely upon actual historical Net Revenue
of the Waterworks Utility without any adjustment.
The certificate, in estimating the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility available for debt service, shall use the
historical Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility for any 12 consecutive months out of the 24 months immediately
preceding the month of delivery of the Future Parity Bonds. Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility may be adjusted
to reflect:
1) Any changes in rates in effect and being charged or expressly adopted by ordinance to take effect within 180
days after the date of the Certificate;
2) Income derived from customers of the Waterworks Utility that have become customers during the 12
consecutive month period or thereafter adjusted to reflect one year’s net revenue from those customers;
3) Revenue from any customers to be connected to the Waterworks Utility who have paid the required
connection charges;
4) Revenue received or to be received which is derived from any person, firm, corporation or municipal
corporation under any executed contract for water, sewage disposal or other utility service, which revenue
was not included in the historical Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility;

5) The engineer’s or accountant’s estimate of the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility to be derived from
customers to connect within 180 days after the date of the completion of the additions to and improvements
and extensions of the Waterworks Utility to be paid for out of the proceeds of the sale of the additional Future
Parity Bonds or from other additions to and improvements and extensions of the Waterworks Utility then
under construction and not fully connected to the facilities of the Waterworks Utility when such additions,
improvements and extensions are completed; and
6) Any increases or decreases in Net Revenue as a result of any actual or reasonably anticipated changes in
Operating and Maintenance Expense subsequent to the 12-month period.
In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the City will provide a certificate executed by a City representative, based solely
upon actual/historical Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility without any adjustment.
If Future Parity Bonds proposed to be so issued are for the sole purpose of refunding outstanding bonds payable from the Bond
Fund, such certification of coverage shall not be required if the amount required for the payment of the principal and interest
in each year for the refunding bonds is not increased over the amount for that year required for the bonds to be refunded thereby
and if the maturities of such refunding bonds are not extended beyond the maturities of the bonds to be refunded thereby.
Nothing contained in the Bond Ordinance shall prevent the City from issuing Future Parity Bonds to refund any maturing Parity
Bonds then outstanding, money for the payment of which is not otherwise available.
Nothing contained in the Bond Ordinance shall prevent the City from issuing revenue bonds or incurring other obligations that
are a charge upon the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility of the City subordinate or inferior to the payments required to be
made therefrom into the Bond Fund for the payment of Parity Bonds or from pledging the payment of utility local improvement
district assessments into a redemption fund created for the payment of the principal of and interest on those subordinate lien
bonds or obligations as long as such utility local improvement district assessments are levied for improvements constructed
from the proceeds of those subordinate lien bonds or obligations.

Other Waterworks Utility Debt
In addition to the Outstanding Parity Bonds, the City has the ability to borrow funds on a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
(“DWSRF”) line (DM15-952-037) for a maximum of $6,810,430. The lien is subordinate to the Parity Bonds.
The City also has a Public Works Trust Fund Loan from the State Public Works Board with an outstanding principal amount
of $333,421 at publication of this document. The lien of the Public Works Trust Fund Loan on Net Revenue is subordinate to
the lien of the Parity Bonds on Net Revenue.
Debt Payment Record
The City has always promptly met principal and interest payments on outstanding bonds, notes and warrants when due. No
refunding bonds have been issued or other debt received for the purpose of preventing an impending default.
Page 67 of 140
11
Other Financings
The City periodically reviews its outstanding debt for refunding opportunities, and may issue refunding bonds in the next 24
months. The City does not anticipate issuing other water and sewer revenue bonds within the next 12 months.
THE WATERWORKS UTILITY
The Waterworks Utility’s primary activity is the operation and maintenance of a domestic water system which supplies and
distributes potable water and water for fire protection purposes for City residents (the “Water System”), a sanitary system
which collects sanitary sewage and delivers it to a municipal sewage treatment facility (the “Sewer System”), a stormwater
management system to manage surface and stormwater and delivery to the City’s stormwater facilities (the “Stormwater
System”), an irrigation system for residential landscaping (the “Irrigation System”) and a process water resource facility for
food preparation process wastewater (the “Process Water Reuse Facility”). The City owns and operates the Waterworks Utility
as a separate enterprise fund that provides water and/or sewer service to virtually all of the City’s residents.
The City operates its Waterworks Utility in compliance with federal and State environmental and health laws.
The Water System
The Water System receives its water supply from the Columbia River via two intake structures in the river. The intake facilities
have multiple pumps with pumping capacity of 26.8 million gallons per day (“mgd”) at the Butterfield Water Treatment Plant
and 6 mgd at the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant. The raw or untreated water is pumped through three lines to both treatment
facilities.
The Butterfield water treatment plant was originally constructed in 1949, expanded in 1958, and upgraded and automated in
1987. This conventional treatment plant consists of the following main process components: two flocculation basins, two
sedimentation basins, eight dual media filters, a clearwell and five treated water pumps which discharge into the
transmission/distribution system. The plant routinely operates in an unmanned mode 16 hours out of each 24-hour day.
The West Pasco Water Treatment Plant was completed in 2011. The raw water is treated through micro filtration which
removes impurities to meet or exceed the Department of Health requirements. The plant currently has the capacity of producing
6 mgd; however, the plant has a total design capacity of 18 mgd when it is expanded in the future to meet the growth needs in
West Pasco. The plant infrastructure includes raw water strainers, two 3 mgd microfiltration racks and a 1.6 million gallon
clearwell. The plant operates in an unmanned mode more than 16 hours out of each 24-hour day.
Present water demands on the Water System can vary from an average winter day demand of 6.3 mgd to a peak summer day
demand of 26.7 mgd. The yearly average day demand currently is approximately 12.9 mgd.
The treated water from the filter plants is pumped into the transmission and distribution system which consists of 326 miles of
main line varying in size from 6 to 36 inches. The distribution system is divided into three separate zones, with each zone
servicing its respective elevation.
Storage is provided by one 10 million-gallon ground level reservoir, a 1 million-gallon reservoir, and a 2.5 million-gallon water
tower.
Customers and Consumption. The City’s Water System presently serves approximately 19,779 customers, of which
approximately 88% are single-family residential customers. Historical statistics are shown in the following charts. Where
consumption is shown, usage is measured in cubic feet (“cf”).

The Sewer System
The City’s sewage treatment plant was originally constructed in 1954, upgraded from primary treatment to secondary treatment
in 1970, and upgraded to advanced secondary treatment and expanded in 1997. The plant currently has an average flow of
4.09 mgd, with a peak of 4.85 mgd, and is capable of serving a population of 80,000 people.
The Waste Water Treatment Plant (the “WWTP”) has capacity of treating between 7.1 and 7.8 mgd. However, the primary
clarifier, which is the initial stage of wastewater treatment, has only 5 mgd capacity. Funding supplied by the 2013 and 2015
bonds was used, in part, to support the construction and material improvement of additional clarifier infrastructure. This
infrastructure work modernized the operational processes of the sewer system while making the system more reliable. The
City is in the process of completing a facility plan for the wastewater treatment plant. Recommended improvements for the
WWTP include capacity improvements to treat wastewater up to 12 mgd in order to meet the projected City population growth
to between 95,000-100,000 in the next 15 to 20 years.
The sewer collection system consists of 240 miles of 8-inch to 36-inch diameter collection pipelines. The sewer collection
system is being expanded into residential areas currently utilizing septic tanks in which utility local improvement districts are
being formed to convert properties from septic tanks to City sewers. The collection system is also being expanded into both
the residential and industrial growth areas of the City.
Customers and Statistics. The City’s Sewer System, which excludes what is treated at the Process Water Reuse Facility,
presently serves approximately 16,900 customers, of which 92% are single-family residential customers.

The Process Water Reuse Facility
The Process Water Reuse Facility (the “PWRF”) was constructed by the City and placed in operation in 1995. The PWRF
services four food processing plants. The food processing wastewater is pumped and sprayed onto farmland crop circles as the
means of disposal. The PWRF and processing plants operate year-round, with peak usage in June through September. The
PWRF consists of two pump stations, pipelines, a 5 million-gallon equalization basin and 14 irrigation circles totaling 1,800
acres, and a 115 million-gallon winter storage pond was added. The winter storage pond allows food processors at the Pasco
Processing Center to operate year-round. The food processing users are responsible for payment of the debt service and
operation and maintenance costs of the PWRF through the rates and charges described below.
In 2011, the City completed the optimization master plan to improve the PWRF to ensure the City remains compliant with
permit requirements issued by the State’s Department of Ecology (“Ecology”) and to provide increased capacity for processing
water. In 2013, the City made improvements to the PWRF which created 170 million gallons of additional capacity, 110,000
pounds of additional nitrogen capacity and 15,000 pounds/day of additional biological oxygen demand capacity. The expansion
meets the needs of existing processors and does not provide excess capacity to allow for the addition of new customers.

Rates and Charges. Food processing users are subject to rates and charges established by the City in Ordinance No. 3291
passed on April 6, 1998. This ordinance requires the industrial users connecting to the Facility to pay the following rates and
charges, which are subject to annual adjustments. In addition, the City may negotiate a special operation and maintenance or
contract rate with individual customers or industrial users of the Facility.
Base Operation and Maintenance Charges - Actual costs of operating and maintaining the Facility are shared proportionally
among all users based on estimated annual flows of each user. The minimum charge for each user is $12,000 per year.
Customized Operation and Maintenance Charges - The actual costs of operation and maintenance associated with any
specifically constructed or customized facility are charged directly to the user(s) based upon actual monthly flows of each
during the period.
Capital Charges - All capital charges related to all outstanding debt of the Facility are allocated to the users, based on their
proportionate share of the total permitted combined annual flows, as determined in each user’s discharge permit. The minimum
capital charge for any user is $12,000 per year.
Customized Specific Capital Charges - In addition to the capital charges described above, any capital projects which benefit a
single user are directly charged to and paid by such user. For any new customer, a rate will be established which is considered
reimbursement of any non-capital charges made by the City for establishment and reservation of excess capacity.
The Stormwater System
The Stormwater System was established by the City in 1999 pursuant to chapter 35.67 RCW and RCW 35A.80.010. Its purpose
is to promote public health, safety and welfare by promoting an approach to the management of surface and stormwater runoff
created on City streets and delivery to City-owned stormwater facilities.
The City’s Stormwater System is managed using a ground infiltration process which, after treatment, meets Ecology’s National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) requirements. The infiltration process applies to approximately 75% of
the City. The water runoff from streets for the balance of the City is discharged to the Columbia River. The City has an annual
program that provides for routine upgrades and catch basin additions as needed. Citywide street sweeping averages eight times
per year. The City and cleans catch basins regularly, in compliance with NPDES permits. The City completes annual reports
to Ecology on the Stormwater System. The City adopted a comprehensive Stormwater Management plan in 2017 which
includes: Public Education and Outreach; Public Involvement and Participation; Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination;
Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control; Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New Development and
Redevelopment; and Municipal Operations and Maintenance.
Stormwater Rates & Charges. The following monthly rates for the Stormwater System are currently billed to property owners
throughout the City using the following general classifications. Between 2002 and 2010 rates were not adjusted. In 2012 rates
increased 33% and then increased another 13% in 2014. The most recent increase of 12% took effect in January 2015.

The Irrigation System
The Irrigation System was purchased by the City in 2002 from a private utility. At the time of purchase the system serviced
approximately 900 customers in an area where new homes were being built. Since the purchase and through expansion of the
system, it now services approximately 7,313 residential customers. At the time of purchase, customers were being charged
$32 per month for seven months during the irrigation season, April through October. In 2004, after evaluating the increase in
customer base and projected annual expenditures, the monthly fee was reduced to $24 per month. Effective January 1, 2011,
the base fee was increased to $26 per month. No other rate changes occurred until the first billing in 2017, when the monthly
rate increased to $27.30. Irrigation customers continue to be charged solely during the irrigation months of April through
October.
Capital Improvement Plan
The City annually adopts a six-year Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”), which includes a water and sewer system component.
Projects for the Water System are generally for the supply, treatment, distribution and storage of water. Projects for the Sewer
System include collection and treatment. On September 5, 2017, the City Council approved the current CIP, which includes
the following projects to be funded by a combination of rates, grants, bond proceeds, and utility cash flow. The City Council
approved the CIP on September 5, 2017.

The CIP is a plan. The figures listed above in the 2017 column are the budgeted amounts for capital in 2017.
Endangered Species Act
In planning future projects, the City evaluates the construction and operation of the facilities to determine if there will be any
impact on endangered species through the use of site evaluations, special environmental studies, and preparation of State
Environmental Policy Act (“SEPA”) checklists or environmental impact statements, as appropriate. Alternatives are developed
to minimize or avoid impacts on endangered species. Where federal permits or funding are involved, the City also complies
with the Endangered Species Act’s “consultation” requirement, which serves to evaluate and address any potential effect on
endangered species. Best management practices are employed during routine operation and maintenance activities to minimize
impacts on the environment.
Historical Operating Results
The following table presents the 2012 through 2016 audited revenues and expenditures of the City's Waterworks Utility. This
table has been compiled by the City based on the definitions of Gross Revenue and Operating and Maintenance Expenses
contained in the Bond Ordinance and reflected in APPENDIX A – CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. These definitions are required
by the Bond Ordinance to be used to calculate Debt Service Coverage, emphasize cash flows in the Waterworks Utility, and
differ in certain respects from the full accrual definitions of revenue and expenses under Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“GAAP”) that are used to report the results of operations of the Waterworks Utility in the City’s Audit.

Operations for 2017 have progressed primarily as planned. The City is currently in process of conducting a Waste Water
Treatment Plant (“WWTP”) facility plan. This will help us the City continue compliance of WWTP NPDES Permit (National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit) and meet future capacity needs. Facility Plan will identify the required
projects, which are expected to cost a total of $25,000,000 over six years. The Facility Planning will align with the City’s
future NPDES permit to fulfill future capacities.

CITY PROFILE
The City, located in southeastern Washington, encompasses approximately 33.6 square miles and has a 2016 estimated
population of 70,650. The City and the adjacent cities of Richland and Kennewick make up what is known as the Tri-Cities.
The City serves as the Franklin County seat and is the largest city in the County. The City was incorporated in 1891.
The City has a Council-Manager form of government. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council and is responsible
for the administration of all aspects of City operations. Council members are part-time officials, elected every four years
through city-wide elections. The Council is comprised of seven members, one of whom is selected by the members to serve
as Mayor for a two-year term.
The City provides a full range of services normally associated with a municipality. These services include police and fire
protection, ambulance service, parks and recreational activities, street maintenance and construction, planning and zoning and
general administrative services. The City owns and operates water, sewer and stormwater utility and a cemetery. The City
owns and operates a golf course.
City Council
Historically, the City Council was made up of five council seats decided by district in the primary election, but “at-large” in
the general election, and two “at-large” seats, which were voted on in a City-wide vote in both the primary and general election.
Due to rapid population growth, the voting district boundaries have been changed several times. The City’s demographic
characteristics have also changed. In 2015, the City Council pursued a change from district-based election system in both
primary and general elections; however, the State legislature has not yet passed a bill allowing such a change to occur. In the
interim, the American Civil Liberties Union (“ACLU”) filed a complaint for an alleged violation to the federal Voting Rights
Act. The City and the ACLU jointly proposed a remedy. On January 27, 2017, a federal judge agreed that the City’s proposed
plan of six voting districts with one “at large” position met the requirements of the federal Voting Rights Act, and required that
all seats be up for election in 2017. Below is a list of current Council members:
Members Position Term Expires
Matt Watkins Mayor December 31, 2017
Rebecca Francik Mayor Pro-Tem December 31, 2017

Key Administrative Staff
Dave Zabell, City Manager, assumed his position with the City in August 2014. Mr. Zabell has been in local government for
over 33 years, and was formerly the City Manager for the City of Fife, Washington, a position he held since 2011. Prior to that
he was Assistant City Manager for Yakima, Washington, from 2005-2011 and Public Works Director for the City of Bothell,
Washington, from 2000-2005. Mr. Zabell also worked for the City of Marysville, Washington, from 1985-2000, serving in
positions including Engineer, Public Works Director and City Administrator for the last seven years. Mr. Zabell has a Master
of Public Administration degree from the University of Washington and a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Administration
from Upper Iowa University.

Labor Relations
The City currently (as of June 1, 2017) employs 438 employees (339 full time equivalents, not including 99 seasonal
employees), including part-time workers. There are 231 employees represented by four bargaining units, as follows:
No. of Current Contract
Bargaining Unit Employees Expiration Date
International Union of Operating Engineers, Local No. 280 75 December 31, 2019
International Association of Firefighters 68 December 31, 2017
Pasco Police Officers Assoc. “Uniformed” Employee 80 December 31, 2018
Pasco Police Officers Assoc. “Non-uniformed” Employee 7 December 31, 2016
230
The City considers labor relations with its bargaining units to be good. There have been no recent strikes or major labor
relations problems. Negotiations are currently underway with one union with an expired contract. It is expected to be settled
soon. Only one contract will expire in 2017. As of August 2017, the City anticipates this contract’s negotiations to be completed
prior to its expiration.
Pensions
Substantially all of the City employees are enrolled in the State Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”) or the Law
Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters Retirement System (“LEOFF”). These plans are administered by the State. The
Washington State Investment Board, a 15-member board created by the Legislature in 1981, invests the funds in the plans.
PERS Plan 1 and Plan 2 are defined benefit plans. PERS Plan 3 is both a defined benefit plan (employer share) and defined
contribution plan (employee share). Contributions by both employees and employers are based on gross wages. PERS
participants who joined the system by September 30, 1977 are Plan 1 members. Those PERS participants who joined on or
after October 1, 1977 are Plan 2 members, unless they exercise an option to transfer to Plan 3. PERS participants joining on
or after September 1, 2002 have the irrevocable option of choosing membership in PERS Plan 2 or PERS Plan 3. LEOFF
participants who joined on or after October 1, 1977 are Plan 2 members.
State law requires systematic actuarial based funding to finance the retirement plans. Actuarial calculations to determine
employer and employee contributions are prepared by the Office of the State Actuary (“OSA”), a nonpartisan legislative agency
charged with advising the Legislature and Governor on pension benefits and funding policy. To calculate employer and
employee contribution rates necessary to pre-fund the plans’ benefits, OSA uses actuarial cost and asset valuation methods
selected by the Legislature as well as economic and demographic assumptions. The Legislature adopted the following
economic assumptions for contribution rates beginning July 1, 2017: (1) 7.7% rate of investment return (7.5% for LEOFF
Plan 2); (2) general salary increases of 3.75%; (3) 3.0% rate of Consumer Price Index increase; and (4) 0.95% growth in
membership (1.25 percent for LEOFF). The long-term investment return assumption is used as the discount rate for
determining the liabilities for a plan. The 10-year annualized return on the investment returns as of June 30, 2017 on the
retirement funds was 5.47%.
All State-administered retirement plans are funded by a combination of funding sources: (1) contributions from the State;
(2) contributions from employers (including the State as employer and the City and other governmental employers);
(3) contributions from employees; and (4) investment returns.
Under State statute, contribution rates are adopted by the Pension Funding Council (“PFC”) (and, for LEOFF 2, by the LEOFF
2 Board) in even-numbered years for the next ensuing State biennium. The rate-setting process begins with an actuarial
valuation by the OSA, which makes non-binding recommendations to the Select Committee on Pension Policy, which then
recommends contribution rates to the PFC and the LEOFF 2 Board. No later than the end of July in even-numbered years, the
PFC and the LEOFF 2 Board adopts contribution rates, which are subject to revision by the Legislature. The following table
outlines the current contribution rates of employers and employees.

The City’s total contribution for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $1,955,898, representing 7.9 percent of covered
payroll. The City contributed $1,156,682 in 2015 and $996,260 in 2014 to PERS, and $636,061 in 2015 and $549,792 in 2014
to LEOFF for all of the City’s employees that are covered under PERS and LEOFF.
Plan Funding Status and Unfunded Actuarial Liability. While the City’s contributions represent its full current liability under
the retirement systems, any unfunded pension benefit obligations could be reflected in future years as higher contribution rates.
It is expected that the contribution rates for employees and employers in the PERS Plans 2 and 3 will increase in the coming
years. The OSA website includes information regarding the values, funding levels and investments of these retirement plans.
Historically, OSA used the Projected Unit Credit (“PUC”) cost method and the Actuarial Value of Assets (“AVA”) to report a
plan’s funded status. PUC was one of several acceptable measures of a plan’s funded status under current GASB rules. The
PUC cost method projects future benefits under the plan, using salary growth and other assumptions and applies the service
that has been earned as of the valuation date to determine accrued liabilities. The AVA is calculated using a methodology
which smoothes the effect of short-term volatility in the Market Value of Assets (“MVA”) by deferring a portion of annual
investment gains or losses over a period of up to eight years.
In September 2015, OSA adopted the Entry Age Normal (“EAN”) cost method to estimate accrued pension liabilities for the
purposes of reporting funded status. The EAN method represents each plan member’s benefits as a constant share of payroll
throughout the member’s career. This liability estimate incorporates the statutorily set discount rate and fully reflects the
demographic assumptions revised in the June 30, 2013 valuation, which included projected improvements in mortality rates.
During the years 2001 through 2010 the rates adopted by the Legislature were lower than those that would have been required
to produce actuarially required contributions to PERS Plan 1, a closed plan with a large proportion of the retirees. The State
Actuary’s actuarial valuation for PERS Plan 1 as of June 20, 2013 showed a 63% funded ratio (unfunded liability of $4.831
billion) while PERS Plans 2 and 3 and LEOFF Plans 1 and 2 had valuation assets that exceed their accrued liability by $537
million (a 102% funded ratio), $1.1 billion (a 125% funded ratio) and $1.0 billion (a 115% funded ratio), respectively. The
State Actuary’s actuarial valuation for PERS Plan 1 as of June 30, 2014, showed a 61% funded ratio (unfunded liability of
$4.965 billion) while PERS Plans 2 and 3 and LEOFF Plans 1 and 2 had valuation assets that exceed their accrued liability by
$214 million (a 101% funded ratio), $1.2 billion (a 127% funded ratio) and $1.0 billion (a 113% funded ratio), respectively.
The decrease in the funded status and increase in the unfunded accrued actuarial liability primarily reflect changed demographic
assumptions, including projected improvements in mortality rates, and the statutory requirement that the assumed rate of return
be reduced to 7.8% from 7.9% (7.5% for LEOFF Plan 2).
Using the EAN cost method, the State Actuary’s actuarial valuation for PERS Plan 1 and PERS Plans 2 and 3 as of June 30,
2016, showed a 56% funded ratio (unfunded liability of $5.365 billion) and a 87% funded ratio (unfunded liability of
$4.497 billion), respectively, while LEOFF Plans 1 and 2 had valuation assets that exceed their accrued liability by
$1.078 billion (a 126% funded ratio) and $450 million (a 105% funded ratio), respectively. Using the EAN cost method, the
State Actuary’s actuarial valuation for PERS Plan 1 and PERS Plans 2 and 3 as of June 30, 2015, showed a 58% and 88%
funded ratio, respectively, while LEOFF Plans 1 and 2 and PSERS had a 125% and 105% funded ratio, respectively. In
comparing the funded status as of June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2016, there was a decline from 86% to 84%, largely due to lower
than expected investment returns.
PERS Plans 2 and 3 are accounted for in the same pension trust fund and may legally be used to pay the defined benefits of
any PERS Plan 2 and 3 member. Assets for one plan may not be used to fund benefits for another plan: however, all employers
in PERS are required to make contributions at a rate (percentage of payroll) determined by the OSA every two years for the
sole purpose of amortizing the PERS 1 unfunded actuarial accrued liability within a rolling 10-year period. The Legislature
Page 79 of 140
23
established maximum contribution rates that began in 2009 to 2015 and certain minimum contribution rates that became
effective in 2015 and remain in effect until the actuarial value of assets in PERS Plan 1 equals 100% of the actuarial accrued
liability of PERS Plan 1. These rates are subject to change by future legislation enacted by the State Legislature to address
future changes in actuarial and economic assumptions and investment performance.
The information in this section has been obtained from the City’s financial statements and information on the OSA and DRS
websites.
New GASB Reporting Rules. The Government Accounting Standard Board (“GASB”) has implemented new pension
regulations that require employers, including the City, to report their pension liabilities on a GAAP basis rather than a funding
basis. Beginning with its 2015 financial statements, the City reported its proportionate share of the net plan asset or liability
for each pension plan in which City employees participate. The liability is based on the actuarial present value of projected
benefit payments to periods of employee service, a discount rate that considers the availability of plan assets and recognition
of projected investment earnings. The DRS determines each participating employer’s proportionate share of the plan liability
and OSA determines each plan’s accounting valuation. The GASB rules impact accounting for pensions and not the funding
status of the plans calculated by OSA or pension contribution rates that are set based on statutory assumptions.
DRS has calculated the collective net pension liability for the various retirement plans based on the new GASB reporting
requirements as well as the City’s share of such liability. Net pension liability equals the total pension liability (a measure of
the total cost of future pension benefit payments already earned, stated in current dollars) minus the value of the assets in the
pension trust that can be used to make benefit payments. Contributions from plan members and employers are assumed to
continue to be made at contractually required rates, the assumed long-term rate of investment return is 7.50%, the assumed
economic inflation is 3.0%, and the assumed salary inflation is 3.75%. The following table shows the City’s share of the net
pension liability for the plans it participates in for the State fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 based on its share of
contributions for the year.

Other Retirement Systems–Firemen’s Pension Fund. The City is the administrator of a single employer defined benefit pension
plan, the Firemen’s Pension Fund (the “Firemen’s Pension Fund Plan”). The Firemen’s Pension Fund Plan is limited to
firefighters and beneficiaries employed before March 1, 1970, and as of March 1, 1970, was closed to new entrants. Firefighters
hired before March 1, 1970, at retirement receive the greater of the pension benefit provided under the Firemen’s Pension Fund
Plan or under LEOFF. Any excess benefit over the LEOFF benefit is provided by the Firemen’s Pension Fund Plan. As of
December 31, 2016, there were a total of 11 individuals covered by the Firemen’s Pension Fund Plan, and five of the 11 are
widows. All future obligations of the Firemen’s Pension Fund Plan were assumed by LEOFF.
For additional information, see Appendix B—“2016 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Note 8: Employee Retirement
Systems and Pension Plans.” The information in this section has been obtained from the City’s financial statements and
information on the State Actuary’s and State Department of Retirement System’s websites.
Other Post-Employment Benefits
LEOFF 1. In accordance with chapter 41.26 RCW, the City provides continuation of medical insurance coverage to employees
that retire under the LEOFF retirement system, which includes all police officers and fire fighters who were hired prior to
October 1, 1977. Medical coverage continues for the life of the retiree. The plan is a closed, single employer defined benefit
healthcare plan administered by the City. As of December 31, 2016, there were 31 retirees and two active employees in this
plan. The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (“OPEB”) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution
(“ARC”), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45.
Page 80 of 140
24
The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and to
amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed 30 years.
The tables in Note 13 of Appendix B show the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for 2016, the amount actually
contributed to the plan and changes in the City’s net OPEB obligation. The City’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual
OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for the years 2013 through 2016 were as follows:
Fiscal Year Annual % of Annual Net
Ended Cost OPEB Contributed OPEB Obligation
12/31/2016 $1,309,707 55% $4,086,203
12/31/2015 1,446,611 64 3,331,084
12/31/2014 1,091,159 55 2,523,460
12/31/2013 800,733 64 1,981,585
The City currently funds post-employment healthcare benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City finances the plan by
purchasing medical insurance and self-funding vision and medical benefits not covered by the insurance.
Firemen’s Pension. As required by chapter 41.26 RCW, the City provides lifetime medical care for members of the LEOFF
retirement system hired before October 1, 1977 under a single employer, defined benefit healthcare plan administered by the
City. The members’ necessary hospital, medical, and nursing care expenses not payable by worker’s compensation, social
security, insurance provided by another employer, or other pension plan, or any other similar source are covered. Most medical
coverage for eligible retirees is provided by the City’s employee medical insurance program. Under authorization of the LEOFF
Disability Board, direct payment is made for other retiree medical expenses not covered by standard medical plan benefit
provisions. Members of the Fire Pension plan purchase medical insurance through the City’s medical insurance program.
Funding for LEOFF retiree healthcare costs is provided entirely by the City as required by the RCW. The City’s funding policy
is based upon pay-as-you-go financing requirements for any requirements in excess of amounts previously set aside in the Fire
Pension OPEB Trust Fund.
The City of Pasco has a total of six LEOFF plan 1 members that are also members of the Old Firemen’s Pension Plan and are
fully funded through the Old Fire Pension Fund. All are retired. Based on the 2016 actuarial study, the Actuarial Accrued
Liability for the Fire Pension OPEB Trust Fund is $1,471,148. As of December 31, 2016, the fund had assets of $2,664,405.
Risk Management
The City is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW (self-insurance
regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal Cooperation Act), nine cities originally formed WCIA on January 1,1981.
WCIA as created for the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly self-insuring,
and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has a total of 168 Members.
New members initially contract for a three-year term, and thereafter automatically renew on an annual basis. A one-year
withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated. Termination does not relieve a former member from its
unresolved loss history incurred during membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes general, automobile, police, errors
or omissions, stop gap, employment practices and employee benefits liability. Limits are $4 million per occurrence in the self-
insured layer, and $16 million in limits above the self-insured layer is provided by reinsurance. Total limits are $20 million per
occurrence subject to aggregates and sublimits. The Board of Directors determines the limits and terms of coverage annually.
In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, and claims and litigation administration.
WCIA contracts for certain claims investigations, consultants for personnel and land use issues, insurance brokerage, actuarial,
and lobbyist services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis, as determined by and
outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in the
interlocal, WCIA retains the right to additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall.
An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment of WCIA’s assets in financial
instruments which comply with all State guidelines.
Page 81 of 140
25
A Board of Directors governs WCIA, which is comprised of one designated representative from each member. The Board
elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the organization. The WCIA
Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day to day operations of WCIA.
Accounting and Budgeting Process
Basis of Accounting: The accounting and reporting policies of the City conform to the Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting
System (“BARS”) as prescribed by the State Auditor. The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of
which is considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that
comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures, as appropriate. The City's resources are allocated to and
accounted for in individual funds depending on their intended purpose.
The Budget Process: Washington law, chapter 35A.33 RCW, prescribes the method and schedule for annual budgeting for the
City. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted at the fund level. Local improvement district debt service and certain custodial
agency funds, however, are not budgeted. A budget increase or decrease to a fund must be authorized by the City Council,
while appropriation transfers within a fund may be authorized by the City Manager. All budgets are controlled on an
organizational basis. The budgets constitute the legal authority for expenditures at that level. Annual appropriations for all
funds lapse at the fiscal period end.
Auditing of City Finances
The City’s financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP as applied to governmental units, and are regulated by
the Washington State Auditor’s Office, division of Audit. The GASB is the accepted standard setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
Accounting systems and budgetary controls are prescribed by the Office of the State Auditor (“SAO”) in accordance with RCW
43.09.200, RCW 43.09.230 and GAAP. State statutes require audits for cities to be conducted by the SAO. The City complies
with the systems and controls prescribed by the SAO and establishes procedures and records which reasonably assure
safeguarding of assets and the reliability of financial reporting.
The SAO is required to examine the affairs of cities. The City is audited annually. The examination must include, among other
things, the financial condition and resources of the City, whether the laws and constitution of the State are being complied with,
and the methods and accuracy of the accounts and reports of the City. The SAO reviewed the City’s financial statements and
accounting practices for fiscal year 2016, and issued an unqualified opinion on the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information. The City’s audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 are attached herein as Appendix B.
Authorized Investments
Chapter 35.39 RCW limits the investment by cities and towns of its inactive funds or other funds in excess of current needs to
the following authorized investments: United States bonds; United States certificates of indebtedness; bonds or warrants of the
State and any local government in the State; its own bonds or warrants of a local improvement district which are within the
protection of the local improvement guaranty fund law; and any other investment authorized by law for any other taxing district
or the State Treasurer. Under chapter 43.84 RCW, the State Treasurer may invest in non-negotiable certificates of deposit in
designated qualified public depositories; in obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and wholly owned corporations;
in bankers’ acceptances; in commercial paper; in the obligations of the federal home loan bank, federal national mortgage
association and other government corporations subject to statutory provisions and may enter into repurchase agreements.
Utility revenue bonds and warrants of any city and bonds or warrants of a local improvement district are also eligible
investments (RCW 35.39.030).
Money available for investment may be invested on an individual fund basis or may, unless otherwise restricted by law, be
commingled within one common investment portfolio. All income derived from such investment may be either apportioned
to and used by the various participating funds or for the benefit of the general government in accordance with city ordinances
or resolutions. Funds derived from the sale of bonds or other instruments of indebtedness will be invested or used in such
manner as the authorizing ordinances, resolutions or bond covenants may lawfully prescribe.
Local Government Investment Pool. The State Treasurer’s Office administers the Washington State Local Government
Investment Pool (the “LGIP”), which invests money on behalf of more than 453 local governments. In its management of
LGIP, the State Treasurer is required to adhere, at all times, to the principles appropriate for the prudent investment of public
funds. These are, in priority order, (i) the safety of principal; (ii) the assurance of sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow demands;
Page 82 of 140
26
and (iii) to attain the highest possible yield within the constraints of the first two goals. Historically, the LGIP has had sufficient
liquidity to meet all cash flow demands.
The LGIP, authorized by chapter 43.250 RCW, is a voluntary pool which provides its participants the opportunity to benefit
from the economies of scale inherent in pooling. It is also intended to offer participants increased safety of principal and the
ability to achieve a higher investment yield than would otherwise be available to them. The pool is restricted to investments
with maturities of one year or less, and the average life typically is less than 90 days. Investments permitted under the pool’s
guidelines include U.S. government and agency securities, bankers’ acceptances, high quality commercial paper, repurchase
and reverse repurchase agreements, motor vehicle fund warrants, and certificates of deposit issued by qualified Washington
State depositories. The City may withdraw its funds in whole or in part on less than 24 hours notice.
Authorized Investments for Bond Proceeds. In addition to the eligible investments discussed above, bond proceeds may also
be invested in mutual funds with portfolios consisting of U.S. government and guaranteed agency securities with average
maturities of less than four years; municipal securities rated in one of the four highest categories; and money market funds
consisting of the same, so long as municipal securities held in the fund(s) are in one of the two highest rating categories of a
nationally recognized rating agency. Bond proceeds may also be invested in shares of money market funds with portfolios of
securities otherwise authorized by law for investment by local governments (RCW 39.59.030).
City Investments. As of September 30, 2017, the City’s investments at market value totaled $53,934,360. The concentration
of credit risk as a percentage of total investments is as follows:
Issuer
% of
Total Fair Value
U.S. Government Securities 27.30% $14,724,314
Local Gov't. Investment Pool 72.70% 39,210,046

Exclusion From Gross Income. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing federal law and assuming compliance by the
City with applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that must be satisfied
subsequent to the issue date of the Bonds, interest on the Bonds will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals.
Continuing Requirements. The City is required to comply with certain requirements of the Code after the date of issuance of
the Bonds in order to maintain the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes,
including, without limitation, requirements concerning the qualified use of Bond proceeds and the facilities financed or
refinanced with Bond proceeds, limitations on investing gross proceeds of the Bonds in higher yielding investments in certain
circumstances, and the requirement to comply with the arbitrage rebate requirement to the extent applicable to the Bonds. The
City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance to comply with those requirements, but if the City fails to comply with those
requirements, interest on the Bonds could become taxable retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. Bond Counsel has
not undertaken and does not undertake to monitor the City’s compliance with such requirements.
Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax. While interest on the Bonds also is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the
alternative minimum tax applicable to corporations, under Section 55 of the Code, tax exempt interest, including interest on
the Bonds, received by corporations is taken into account in the computation of adjusted current earnings for purposes of the
alternative minimum tax applicable to corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes). Under the Code, alternative
minimum taxable income of a corporation will be increased by 75% of the excess of the corporation's adjusted current earnings
Page 85 of 140
29
(including any tax-exempt interest) over the corporation's alternative minimum taxable income determined without regard to
such increase. A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income, so computed, that is in excess of an exemption of $40,000,
which exemption will be reduced (but not below zero) by 25% of the amount by which the corporation's alternative minimum
taxable income exceeds $150,000, is then subject to a 20% minimum tax.
A small business corporation is exempt from the corporate alternative minimum tax for any taxable year beginning after
December 31, 1997, if its average annual gross receipts during the three-taxable-year period beginning after December 31,
1993, did not exceed $5,000,000, and its average annual gross receipts during each successive three-taxable-year period
thereafter ending before the relevant taxable year did not exceed $7,500,000.
Tax on Certain Passive Investment Income of S Corporations. Under Section 1375 of the Code, certain excess net passive
investment income, including interest on the Bonds, received by an S corporation (a corporation treated as a partnership for
most federal tax purposes) that has Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close of the taxable year may be subject to federal
income taxation at the highest rate applicable to corporations if more than 25% of the gross receipts of such S corporation is
passive investment income.
Foreign Branch Profits Tax. Interest on the Bonds may be subject to the foreign branch profits tax imposed by Section 884 of
the Code when the Bonds are owned by, and effectively connected with a trade or business of, a United States branch of a
foreign corporation.
Possible Consequences of Tax Compliance Audit. The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has established a general audit
program to determine whether issuers of tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, are in compliance with requirements of
the Code that must be satisfied in order for interest on those obligations to be, and continue to be, excluded from gross income
for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel cannot predict whether the IRS would commence an audit of the Bonds.
Depending on all the facts and circumstances and the type of audit involved, it is possible that commencement of an audit of
the Bonds could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the Bonds until the audit is concluded, regardless of its
ultimate outcome.
Certain Other Federal Tax Consequences
Bonds “Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations” for Financial Institutions. Section 265 of the Code provides that 100% of any
interest expense incurred by banks and other financial institutions for interest is allocable to tax-exempt obligations acquired
after August 7, 1986, will be disallowed as a tax deduction. However, if the tax-exempt obligations are obligations other than
private activity bonds, are issued by a governmental unit that, together with all entities subordinate to it, does not reasonably
anticipate issuing more than $10,000,000 of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds and other obligations not
required to be included in such calculation) in the current calendar year, and are designated by the governmental unit as
“qualified tax-exempt obligations,” only 20% of any interest expense deduction allocable to those obligations will be
disallowed.
The City is a governmental unit that, together with all subordinate entities, reasonably anticipates issuing less than $10,000,000
of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds and other obligations not required to be included in such
calculation) during the current calendar year and has designated the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes
of the 80% financial institution interest expense deduction. Therefore, only 20% of the interest expense deduction of a financial
institution allocable to the Bonds will be disallowed for federal income tax purposes.
Reduction of Loss Reserve Deductions for Property and Casualty Insurance Companies. Under Section 832 of the Code,
interest on the Bonds received by property and casualty insurance companies will reduce tax deductions for loss reserves
otherwise available to such companies by an amount equal to 15 percent of tax exempt interest received during the taxable
year.
Effect on Certain Social Security and Retirement Benefits. Section 86 of the Code requires recipients of certain Social Security
and certain Railroad Retirement benefits to take receipts or accruals of interest on the Bonds into account in determining gross
income.
Other Possible Federal Tax Consequences. Receipt of interest on the Bonds may have other federal tax consequences as to
which prospective purchasers of the Bonds may wish to consult their own tax advisors.
Potential Future Federal Tax Law Changes. From time to time, there are legislative proposals in Congress which, if enacted,
could adversely affect the tax treatment market value or marketability of the Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether future
legislation may be proposed or enacted that would affect the federal tax treatment of interest received on the Bonds. Prospective
Page 86 of 140
30
purchasers of the Bonds should consult with their own tax advisors regarding any proposed or pending legislation that would
change the federal tax treatment of interest on the Bonds.
Preservation of Tax Exemption
The City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance that it will take all actions necessary to prevent interest on the Bonds from
being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take any action nor make or permit any use
of proceeds of the Bonds or other funds of the City treated as proceeds of the Bonds at any time during the term of the Bonds
which will cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
RATING
S&P Global has assigned a rating of “___” to the Bonds. The rating was applied for by the City and certain information was
supplied by the City to the rating agency to be considered in evaluating the Bonds. The rating reflects only the view of the
rating agency and an explanation of the significance of the rating may be obtained from the rating agency. There is no assurance
that the rating will be retained for any given period of time or that the rating will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely
by the rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of the rating
would be likely to have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
Basic Undertaking to Provide Annual Financial Information and Notice of Listed Events. To meet the requirements of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) (the “Rule”), as applicable to a participating
underwriter for the Bonds, the City will undertake (the “Undertaking”) for the benefit of holders of the Bonds to provide or
cause to be provided, either directly or through a designated agent, to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”),
in an electronic format as prescribed by the MSRB, accompanied by identifying information as prescribed by the MSRB: (a)
annual financial information and operating data of the type included in this Official Statement as generally described below
(“annual financial information”) and (b) timely notice (not in excess of 10 business days after the occurrence of the event) of
the occurrence of any of the following events with respect to the Bonds: (1) principal and interest payment delinquencies; (2)
non-payment related defaults, if material; (3) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties; (4)
unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties; (5) substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or
their failure to perform; (6) adverse tax opinions, the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of proposed or final
determinations of taxability, Notice of Proposed Issue (IRS Form 5701 – TEB) or other material notices or determinations with
respect to the tax status of the Bonds or other material events affecting the tax status of the Bonds; (7) modifications to rights
of holders of the Bonds, if material; (8) Bond calls (other than scheduled mandatory redemptions of Term Bonds), if material,
and tender offers; (9) defeasances; (10) release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of the Bonds, if material;
(11) rating changes; (12) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar event of the City, as such “Bankruptcy Events” are
defined in Rule 15c2-12; (13) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition involving the City or the sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the City, other than in the ordinary course of business, the entry into a definitive agreement
to undertake such an action or the termination of a definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its
terms, if material; and (14) appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of a trustee, if material. The
City will also provide to the MSRB timely notice of a failure by the City to provide required annual financial information on
or before the date specified below.
Type of Annual Financial Information Undertaken to be Provided. The annual financial information that the City undertakes
to provide will consist of: (1) the City’s annual financial statements prepared (except as noted in the financial statements) in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to Washington local governmental units such as the City;
(2) a statement of authorized, issued and outstanding bonded debt secured by the Net Revenue of the Waterworks Utility; (3)
debt service coverage ratios; and (4) general customer statistics for the Waterworks Utility. The annual financial information
that the City undertakes to provide will be provided to the MSRB not later than the last day of the ninth month after the end of
each fiscal year of the City (currently, a fiscal year ending December 31), as such fiscal year may be changed as permitted or
required by State law, commencing with the City’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. The annual financial information
may be provided in a single or in multiple documents and may be incorporated by reference to other documents available to
the public on the Internet website of the MSRB or filed with the SEC. If not submitted as part of the annual financial
information described above, the City will provide or cause to be provided to the MSRB audited financial statements, when
and if available.
Amendment of Undertaking. The Undertaking is subject to amendment after the primary offering of the Bonds without the
consent of any holder of any Bond, or of any broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, participating underwriter, rating agency
Page 87 of 140
31
or the MSRB, under the circumstances and in the manner permitted by the Rule. The City will give notice to the MSRB of the
substance (or provide a copy) of any amendment to the Undertaking and a brief statement of the reasons for the amendment.
If the amendment changes the type of annual financial information to be provided, the annual financial information containing
the amended financial information will include a narrative explanation of the effect of that change on the type of information
to be provided.
Termination of Undertaking. The City’s obligations under the Undertaking will terminate upon the legal defeasance of all of
the Bonds. In addition, the City’s obligations under the Undertaking will terminate if those provisions of the Rule which require
the City to comply with the Undertaking become legally inapplicable in respect of the Bonds for any reason, as confirmed by
an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel or other counsel familiar with federal securities laws delivered to the City,
and the City provides timely notice of such termination to the MSRB.
Remedy for Failure to Comply with Undertaking. As soon as practicable after the City learns of any failure to comply with the
Undertaking, the City will proceed with due diligence to cause such noncompliance to be corrected. No failure by the City or
other obligated person to comply with the Undertaking shall constitute a default in respect of the Bonds. The sole remedy of
any holder of a Bond shall be to take such actions as that holder deems necessary, including seeking an order of specific
performance from an appropriate court, to compel the City or other obligated person to comply with the Undertaking.
Prior Compliance with Continuing Disclosure Undertakings. The City previously entered into undertakings under the Rule
with respect to certain of its outstanding bonds. In October of 2013, the City discovered that it failed to (1) submit event notices
with respect to certain downgrades or upgrades to the insured ratings on its Unlimited Tax General Obligation Bonds, 1999,
Unlimited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2002, Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, 2005 and Water and Sewer
Revenue Bonds, 2009, and (2) timely file certain financial information as required by undertakings entered into in connection
with certain outstanding bonds. The City filed with EMMA event notices with respect to these items on October 30, 2013 and
November __, 2017. The City has otherwise complied in all material respects with the provisions of its various continuing
disclosure undertakings, and has taken affirmative action to ensure full compliance with the undertakings by assigning
appropriate staff to the tasks and enrolling in the MSRB’s e-mail reminder system. [TO BE UPDATED]
CERTAIN INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Limitations on Remedies. Any remedies available to the owners of the Bonds are in many respects dependent upon judicial
actions, which are in turn often subject to discretion and delay and could be both expensive and time consuming to obtain. If
the City fails to comply with its covenants under the Bond Ordinance or to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds, there can
be no assurance that available remedies will be adequate to fully protect the interests of the owners of the Bonds. In addition
to the limitations on remedies contained in State law, the rights and obligations under the Bonds and the Bond Ordinance may
be limited by and are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, and other laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, to the application of equitable principles, and to the exercise of judicial discretion in
appropriate cases. The legal opinion of Bond Counsel regarding the validity of the Bonds will be qualified by reference to
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally, and by general principles of equity.
Bankruptcy. A municipality, such as the City, must be specifically authorized under State law in order to seek relief under
Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Chapter 39.64 RCW, entitled the “Taxing Relief Bankruptcy
Act,” appears to permit any “taxing district” (defined to include any municipality or political subdivision, including cities) to
voluntarily petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. A creditor cannot bring an involuntarily bankruptcy proceeding
against a municipality, including cities. Under Chapter 9, a federal bankruptcy court may not appoint a receiver for a
municipality or order the dissolution or liquidation of the municipality. If a municipality filed for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy
court would have some discretion with respect to how to treat past and future obligations of such municipality regarding priority
of payment to creditors under a plan for adjustment of debt under Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code.
INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM
General. Under the State constitution, the voters of the State have the ability to initiate legislation and to modify existing
statutes through the powers of initiative and referendum. Initiatives and referenda are submitted to the voters upon receipt of
a petition signed by at least eight percent (initiatives) and four percent (referenda) of the number of voters registered and voting
for the office of Governor at the preceding regular gubernatorial election. Any law approved through the power of initiative
by a majority of the voters may not be amended or repealed by the Legislature within a period of two years following enactment,
Page 88 of 140
32
except by a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house of the Legislature, but thereafter is subject to amendment
or repeal by the Legislature in the same manner as other laws.
Future Initiatives. Initiative petitions affecting tax collections and levy rates (not including the taxes pledged to the repayment
of the Bonds) and other matters may be filed in the future. The City cannot predict whether any such initiatives will qualify to
be submitted to the voters or, if submitted, will be approved. Likewise, the City cannot predict what actions the Legislature
might take, if any, regarding future initiatives approved by voters.
LEGAL AND UNDERWRITING
Approval of Counsel
Legal matters incident to the authorization, issuance and sale of the Bonds by the City are subject to the approving legal opinion
of Bond Counsel. The form of the opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to the Bonds is attached as Appendix C. The opinion

and completeness of disclosure of such information, and no guaranty, warranty or other representation is made by the Financial

Statement. The Financial Advisor is an independent financial advisory firm and is not engaged in the business of underwriting,

negotiations or judicial proceedings to resolve any such claims. However, the City does not anticipate that any such proceedings
would materially affect the City’s ability to meet debt service requirements on the Bonds.
Conflicts of Interest
All or a portion of the fees of the Underwriter, Underwriter’s Counsel, Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel are contingent
upon the issuance and sale of the Bonds. In addition, Bond Counsel from time to time serves as counsel to the Underwriter
with respect to bonds issued by issuers other than the City. None of the Council members or other officers of the City have
any conflict of interest in the issuance of the Bonds that is prohibited by applicable law.
Underwriting

the Bonds, if any are purchased, at a price of __________ percent of the par value of the Bonds. The Bonds will be reoffered

The following information has been provided by DTC. The City takes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness
thereof, or for the absence of material changes in such information subsequent to the date hereof. Beneficial Owners
should confirm the following with DTC or the Participants (as hereinafter defined).
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be
issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as
may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Bond certificate will be issued for each maturity
of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount represented by such Bonds, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a
“banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a
“clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered
pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for
over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments
(from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-
trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic
computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical
movement of Bond certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust
companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust
& Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated
subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers,
banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct
Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a rating of AA+ from S&P Global. The DTC Rules
applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be
found at www.dtcc.com (which website is not incorporated herein by reference).
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the
Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be
recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC
of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are expected, however, to receive written confirmations providing details of the
transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial
Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on
the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive
certificates representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the
Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are to be registered in the name of
DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.
The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any
change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect
only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial
Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their
customers.
When notices are given, they shall be sent by the Fiscal Agent to DTC only. Conveyance of notices and other communications
by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect
Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds of a maturity are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to
determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds unless authorized
by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy
to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to
Page 104 of 140
D-2
those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the
Omnibus Proxy).
Payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co. or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative
of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail
information from the City or the Bond Registrar, on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on
DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary
practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and are
the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Bond Registrar or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payments to Cede & Co. (or any other nominee as may be requested by
an authorized representative of DTC) are the responsibility of the City or the Bond Registrar, disbursement of such payments
to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be
the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to
the City or the Bond Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Bonds are
required to be printed and delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities
depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered to DTC.
The information in this appendix concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the
City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

SUBJECT: Code Amendment: Amending PMC 26.28 to Allow Administrative Approval of
Final Plats (MF# CA 2017-007)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Ordinance
Planning Commission Memo
Planning Commission Minutes Dated: 9/21/17 and 10/19/17
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Earlier this year in July a revision to State law became effective in amending RCW
58.17.100, 58.17.170, and 58.17.190 which addresses the approval of final plats. The
bill authorizes the legislative body of a city to delegate final plat approval to a planning
commission or other authorized administrative personnel. Currently, the City of
Pasco’s review process of the subdivision of land includes preliminary and final plat
approval by the City Council.
According to the current code, the Planning Commission holds a hearing to review a
preliminary plat and ensure that the plat conforms to all planning standards as
established in the PMC. The Planning Commission subsequently makes a
recommendation to City Council which the Council may adopt or reject.
At the time of final plat approval, all issues related to zoning, environmental impact,
and building have been resolved.
Page 116 of 140
On September 21, 2017 the Planning Commission held a workshop to consider
amending PMC 26.28 to allow administrative approval of final plats as specified in the
attached proposed Code Amendment Ordinance. The Planning Commission then held a
hearing on October 19, 2017 to take public input regarding this code amendment and to
form a recommendation to City Council.
Following the conduct of a public hearing, the Planning Commission reasoned it would
be appropriate to recommend an ordinance amending PMC 26.28 (see attached
Ordinance).
V. DISCUSSION:
The City of Pasco’s review process of the subdivision of land includes preliminary and
final plat approval by the City Council. However, at the time of final plat approval, all
issues related to zoning, environmental impact, and building have been resolved.
Staff believes that delegating final plat approval to the Planning Director or City
Manager would benefit both the City and applicants who submit subdivision proposals
by decreasing the review process by nearly two weeks and eliminating a formality th at
has the potential to cause liability.
Council discussion of this code amendment is requested.

DATE: October 19, 2017
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Darcy Bourcier, Planner I
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending PMC Chapter 26.28 Allowing Administrative
Approval of Final Plats (MF# CA2017-007)
Earlier this year in July the Senate passed a bill amending RCW 58.17.100,
58.17.170, and 58.17.190 which addresses the approval of final plats. The
bill authorizes the legislative body of a city to delegate final plat approval to a
planning commission or other authorized administrative personnel.
Currently, the City of Pasco’s review process of the subdivision of land
includes preliminary and final plat approval by the City Council.
According to the current code, the Planning Commission holds a hearing to
review a preliminary plat and ensure that the plat conforms to all planning
standards as established in the PMC. The Planning Commission subsequently
makes a recommendation to City Council which the Council may adopt or
reject. At the time of final plat approval, all issues related to zoning,
environmental impact, and building have been resolved.
Thus, staff believes that delegating final plat approval to the Planning
Director or City Manager would benefit both the City and applicants who
submit subdivision proposals by decreasing the review process by nearly two
weeks and eliminating a formality that has the potential to cause liability.
Staff has scheduled a public hearing for the Planning Commission meeting of
October 19, 2017.

WORKSHOP:
A. Code Amendment Ordinance Amending PMC Chapter 26.28
Allowing Administrative Approval of Final Plats
(MF# CA 2017-007)
Chairwoman Roach read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the ordinance
amending PMC Chapter 26.28, allowing administrative approval of final plats.
Currently, preliminary plats come to the Planning Commission for public hearing,
then come back for deliberations and are then sent on to City Council for a
recommendation to approve or deny a preliminary plat with a number of conditions.
The applicant will have 5 years to fulfill those conditions based on the preliminary plat
approval. When it is complete, and they are often done in phases, the phases go to
City Council for approval. It is a pro-forma approval because at that stage everything
is complete. The improvements are constructed, conditions complied with and if the
improvements aren’t constructed, a bond is posted in case the developer walks from
the project the City can complete the public improvements, such as a road or park.
Up until July of 2017, State Law requires that final plat process to go through City
Council for approval but that has been changed to allow administrative approval of the
final plat. Staff has developed an ordinance that appears to change a lot in our
existing subdivision code but it actually changes very little. It clarifies some items and
allows administrative approval instead of City Council approval. The process the
Planning Commission is involved with won’t change at all and the City Council will
still be hearing the Commission’s recommendations on preliminary plats just as they
do now. But in 5 years from now when the plat is completed, City Council won’t be
involved should this code amendment be processed and approved.
Chairwoman Roach asked if this ordinance would take 5 years to be put into effect.
Mr. White replied that if it is approved it will go into effect when it is adopted by City
Council but it is an amendment to the subdivision code. The Planning Commission
should weigh in on what Council should do.
Chairwoman Roach said she would support the process to move more expediently as
there has been such requests from the public and applicants. This may help move
things along.
Mr. White added that once the preliminary plat is approved by Council they may not
see plat again and neither does the Planning Commission. When it does come back to
Council for final approval it’s on the consent agenda, it’s not even a hearing or
discussed. It would save 2-4 weeks of time at the end of the process when everything
is complete and the developer just needs approval which is what the state law was
Page 122 of 140
getting at.
Commissioner Portugal added that there needs to be a balance between expedience
and the process to make sure nothing backfires. While he understands there are
deadlines, he does want us to use caution to ensure the well-being of the residents.
Commissioner Greenaway said she agreed with Commissioner Portugal but the
problem is 5 years down the road when the project is complete that step in the process
should be quick.
Commissioner Bykonen reminded the Commission that once the plat is ready for final
approval by Council, it is put on the consent agenda and Council doesn’t even discuss
it and that has been her experience regardless of the jurisdiction.
Commissioner Alvarado asked if staff saw any drawbacks to the ordinance amending
the PMC.
Mr. White said no.
Commissioner Portugal discussed the process of cell towers and how it is decided for
the companies to disguise them, such as the pine tree cell tower on Road 68 and
Court Street or not disguise them as some other towers in the community. He asked if
it was possible to have a requirement for cell towers or to make older cell towers to
look more aesthetic.
Mr. White responded that as Commissioner Cruz once pointed out, that sometimes it
is site specific and a tower disguised as a tree may look good in one location but out of
place and worse in another location. At the same meeting where the cell tower
disguised as a pine tree was approved there was also a cell tower approved disguised
as a church steeple on top of a church. It is more of a location basis but the Planning
Commission weighs in on the decision.
Commissioner Alvarado asked if the item they were discussing the ordinance
amendment was for development of plats.
Mr. White replied yes and with the code amendment the Planning Commission
typically looks at it first at a workshop and then staff takes direction and makes any
necessary changes based on feedback and then schedule a hearing to come back to
the Planning Commission with a draft ordinance for a recommendation.
There were no further questions or comments.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
G. Code Amendment Ordinance Amending PMC Chapter 26.28
Allowing Administrative Approval of Final Plats
(MF# CA 2017-007)
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the proposed
code amendment to PMC Chapter 26.28 which would allow administrative approval of
final plats. Mr. White explained that State law changed this past legislative session to
allow cities to delegate the authority to approve final plats to an administrative staff. It
was discussed at the September 21, 2017 Planning Commission meeting that when an
item finally proceeds to City Council for final plat approval, everything has been
fulfilled beforehand—the conditions have been developed, approved, and recorded. The
implementation of the approval is completed through the final plat process; a final plat
does not proceed to Council until it is done. Mr. White pointed out that staff sees it as
not only a way to decrease liability on behalf of the City, but also a way to increase
efficiency. This code amendment, he said, will eliminate a two to three week process of
getting a final plat to City Council for approval.
Mr. White proposed the Commission conduct the public hearing and recommend
approval to City Council.
Chairman Cruz asked for discussion, comments, or questions from the Commission
members. There were none.
Chairman Cruz opened the item for public hearing. There were no comments from the
audience, so Chairman Cruz closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Portugal moved, seconded by Commissioner Mendez, to close the public
hearing and recommend the City Council amend PMC 26.28 to allow administrative
approval of final plats. The motion passed unanimously.

Purchase Price $893,920 (REET 1, Park Development)
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Previously the City entered into an agreement to purchase property (20.32 acres) from
the Pasco School District located north of Court Street and between Roads 48-52.
While most of the property is currently undeveloped, a portion of the property has been
used for playfields for several years.
Staff considers the property suitable for the eventual relocation of Fire Station 84 and
for development as a community park pursuant to the Park Master Plan.
V. DISCUSSION:
The City has reviewed the property for possible environmental and/or title
encumbrances and has identified none. As such, staff recommends the Council
approve the purchase in the total amount of $883,920 (REET1, Park Development
fund) and, further, authorize the City Manager to complete the purchase.
