Background Summary:
Copper Gate North, LLC has applied to the City for vacation of the right-of-way of G Street
NE, south of South 277th Street. The applicant currently owns adjacent parcels
#9360600323 to the northeast and #9360600330 to the west and is proposing to incorporate
the right-of-way into development of the adjacent property and cleanup right-of-way and
parcel lines.
The proposed vacation area was originally conveyed to King County as right-of-way by Quit
Claim Deed on April 21, 1965.
The application has been reviewed by City staff and utility purveyors who have an interest in
this right-of-way. Through this review City staff has determined that the right-of-way is no
longer necessary to meet the needs of the City and could be vacated with conditions outlined
in Draft Ordinance no. 6782.
A public hearing for Vacation No. V1-20 is set for September 21, 2020.

V1-20 Staff Report
Discussion:
The vacation application was circulated to Puget Sound Energy (PSE), Comcast,
CenturyLink, and City staff.
1. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) – PSE has no facilities or equipment in the proposed
vacation area and do not require an easement.
2. Comcast – Comcast has no cable service facilities in the ROW Vacation area
and require easements.
3. CenturyLink – CenturyLink has no objections to the Vacation of G St NE and do
not require an easement.
4. Engineering –
5. Transportation – Extension of the I Street NE corridor has been dedicated and
there are no traffic operations facilities located in G St NE so it is not needed for
transportation purposes.
6. Water – No comments. An easement is not needed as there are no water
facilities in the proposed vacation area.
7. Sewer – No Comments. An easement is not needed as there are no sewer
facilities in the proposed vacation area.
8. Storm – An easement will be needed over the proposed vacation area for access
to the City wetlands mitigation site and storm drainage facilities. Additionally, an
access easement on Parcel No. 936060-0330 would be needed between the
newly dedicated I St NE alignment and G St NE. If this easement is not provided
as part of the FAC project, it will need to be a condition of the vacation.
9. Planning – The Vacation request is supported as it is consistent with achieving
the site development plan that has been the subject of a revised and amended
development agreement approved by the City Council. It is consistent with the
realigned location of I St NE ROW alignment. An access easement across the
proposed vacation area to inspect and maintain the watercourse, stream
mitigation for the S 277th St widening project and its inlet, and to access the
south side of the floodplain conveyance channel under s 277th St should be
required.
10. Fire – No comments.
11. Police – No comments.
12. Streets – No comments.
13. Construction –No comments.
14. Innovation and Technology – No comments
Assessed Value:
ACC 12.48 states “The city council may require as a condition of the ordinance that the
city be compensated for the vacated right-of-way in an amount which does not exceed
one-half the value of the right-of-way so vacated, except in the event the subject
property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense or have been part of a
Page 13 of 112
3 of 3
July 22, 2020
V1-20 Staff Report
dedicated public right-of-way for 25 years or more, compensation may be required in an
amount equal to the full value of the right-of-way being vacated. The city engineer shall
estimate the value of the right-of-way to be vacated based on the assessed values of
comparable properties in the vicinity. If the value of the right-of-way is determined by
the city engineer to be greater than $2,000, the applicant will be required to provide the
city with an appraisal by an MAI appraiser approved by the city engineer, at the
expense of the applicant. The city reserves the right to have a second appraisal
performed at the city’s expense.”
RCW 35.79.030 states the vacation “shall not become effective until the owners of
property abutting upon the street or alley, or part thereof so vacated, shall compensate
such city or town in an amount which does not exceed one-half the appraised value of
the area so vacated. If the street or alley has been part of a dedicated public right-of-
way for twenty-five years or more, or if the subject property or portions thereof were
acquired at public expense, the city or town may require the owners of the property
abutting the street or alley to compensate the city or town in an amount that does not
exceed the full appraised value of the area vacated.”
An appraisal by an MAI appraiser of the subject right-of-way was required to be
submitted by the applicant. The appraisal was reviewed and found to be acceptable.
The appraisal values the right-of-way in a “Fee Simple Market Value” at $20,000.00.
The right-of-way has been right-of-way for more than 25 years and was originally
acquired through Quit Claim Deed on April 21, 1965
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the street vacation be granted subject to the following
conditions:
1. An easement shall be reserved for access to City wetlands mitigation site and
storm drainage facilities on adjacent properties.
2. Staff recommends that compensation for the value of the right-of-way not be
required as it was acquired through Quit Claim Deed at no cost to the City and
the City has made very minimal improvement and incurred very little, if any,
maintenance costs. In addition, the Applicant has dedicated a significant amount
of new right-of-way at no cost to the City to provide for an extension of I St NE to
S 277th St.

Background Summary:
Ordinance No. 6789 seeks City Council authorization to refund outstanding 2010B and
2010D Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) Bonds.
Similar to the refunding of the outstanding utility system revenue bonds in June, current
market conditions present an attractive opportunity to recognize future interest cost savings
for these outstanding LTGO Bonds. To lend context to this statement, as of July 30 the net
present value savings of refunding the current outstanding LTGO Bonds was approximately
$4.6M or 18-20% savings. The City’s policy dictates a minimum 4% savings. The financing
team which assisted staff with the revenue bond refunding has been retained for this issue.
In closing, the City as a matter of practice has routinely engaged in these types of
transactions in the past.

Section 2. Findings; Purpose and Authorization of the Bonds.
(a) Purpose and Authorization of Bonds. For the purpose of defeasing and/or
refunding the Refunded Bonds and paying related costs of issuance, the City is hereby authorized
to issue and sell one or more series of limited tax general obligation refunding bonds in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $24,000,000 (the “Bonds”).
The Bonds shall be general obligations of the City, shall be designated “City of Auburn,
Washington, Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2020,” with any series or other
designation as determined by a Designed Representative. The Bonds of each series shall be dated
as of the date of Closing; shall be fully registered as to both principal and interest; shall be in the
denomination of $5,000 each, or any integral multiple thereof, within a series and maturity; shall
be numbered separately in such manner and with any additional designation as the Bond
Registrar deems necessary for purposes of identification; shall bear interest from their date
payable on the dates and commencing as provided in the Bond Purchase Contract; and shall be
subject to optional and/or mandatory redemption and mature on the dates and in the principal
amounts set forth in the Bond Purchase Contract.
Section 3. Registration, Exchange and Payments.
(a) Bond Registrar/Bond Register. The City hereby specifies and adopts the system
of registration approved by the Washington State Finance Committee from time to time through
the appointment of a State fiscal agent. The City shall cause a Bond Register to be maintained
by the Bond Registrar. So long as any Bonds remain outstanding, the Bond Registrar shall make
all necessary provisions to permit the exchange or registration or transfer of Bonds at its
designated office. The Bond Registrar may be removed at any time at the option of the Finance
Director upon prior notice to the Bond Registrar and a successor Bond Registrar appointed by
the Finance Director. No resignation or removal of the Bond Registrar shall be effective until a
successor shall have been appointed and until the successor Bond Registrar shall have accepted
the duties of the Bond Registrar hereunder. The Bond Registrar is authorized, on behalf of the
City, to authenticate and deliver Bonds transferred or exchanged in accordance with the
provisions of such Bonds and this ordinance and to carry out all of the Bond Registrar’s powers
and duties under this ordinance. The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its representations
contained in the Certificate of Authentication of the Bonds.
(b) Registered Ownership. The City and the Bond Registrar, each in its discretion,
may deem and treat the Registered Owner of each Bond as the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes (except as provided in the Continuing Disclosure Certificate), and neither the City nor
the Bond Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Payment of any such Bond
shall be made only as described in Section 3(g), but such Bond may be transferred as herein
provided. All such payments made as described in Section 3(g) shall be valid and shall satisfy
and discharge the liability of the City upon such Bond to the extent of the amount or amounts so
paid.
(c) DTC Acceptance/Letters of Representations. The Bonds initially shall be held by
DTC acting as depository. The City has executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket Issuer Letter
of Representations. Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall have any responsibility or
Page 24 of 112
-7-
10120 00001 jg314w27pg
obligation to DTC participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees (or any successor
depository) with respect to the Bonds in respect of the accuracy of any records maintained by
DTC (or any successor depository) or any DTC participant, the payment by DTC (or any
successor depository) or any DTC participant of any amount in respect of the principal of or
interest on Bonds, any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Registered Owners
under this ordinance (except such notices as shall be required to be given by the City to the Bond
Registrar or to DTC (or any successor depository)), or any consent given or other action taken by
DTC (or any successor depository) as the Registered Owner. For so long as any Bonds are held
by a depository, DTC or its successor depository or its nominee shall be deemed to be the
Registered Owner for all purposes hereunder, and all references herein to the Registered Owners
shall mean DTC (or any successor depository) or its nominee and shall not mean the owners of
any beneficial interest in such Bonds.
(d) Use of Depository.
(1) The Bonds shall be registered initially in the name of “Cede & Co.”, as
nominee of DTC, with one Bond of a series maturing on each of the maturity dates for the Bonds
in a denomination corresponding to the total principal therein designated to mature on such date.
Registered ownership of such Bonds, or any portions thereof, may not thereafter be transferred
except (A) to any successor of DTC or its nominee, provided that any such successor shall be
qualified under any applicable laws to provide the service proposed to be provided by it; (B) to
any substitute depository appointed by the Finance Director pursuant to subsection (2) below or
such substitute depository’s successor; or (C) to any person as provided in subsection (4) below.
(2) Upon the resignation of DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository
or its successor) from its functions as depository or a determination by the Finance Director to
discontinue the system of book-entry transfers through DTC or its successor (or any substitute
depository or its successor), the Finance Director may hereafter appoint a substitute depository.
Any such substitute depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the
services proposed to be provided by it.
(3) In the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (A) or (B) of subsection (1)
above, the Bond Registrar shall, upon receipt of all outstanding Bonds together with a written
request on behalf of the Finance Director, issue a single new Bond for such series for each
maturity then outstanding, registered in the name of such successor or such substitute depository,
or their nominees, as the case may be, all as specified in such written request of the Finance
Director.
(4) In the event that (A) DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its
successor) resigns from its functions as depository, and no substitute depository can be obtained,
or (B) the Finance Director determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the
Bonds that such owners be able to obtain physical Bond certificates, the ownership of such
Bonds may then be transferred to any person or entity as herein provided, and shall no longer be
held by a depository. The Finance Director shall deliver a written request to the Bond Registrar,
together with a supply of physical Bonds, to issue Bonds as herein provided in any authorized
denomination. Upon receipt by the Bond Registrar of all then outstanding Bonds together with a
written request on behalf of the Finance Director to the Bond Registrar, new Bonds of such
Page 25 of 112
-8-
10120 00001 jg314w27pg
series shall be issued in the appropriate denominations and registered in the names of such
persons as are requested in such written request.
(e) Registration of Transfer of Ownership or Exchange; Change in Denominations.
The transfer of any Bond may be registered and Bonds may be exchanged, but no transfer of any
such Bond shall be valid unless it is surrendered to the Bond Registrar with the assignment form
appearing on such Bond duly executed by the Registered Owner or such Registered Owner’s
duly authorized agent in a manner satisfactory to the Bond Registrar. Upon such surrender, the
Bond Registrar shall cancel the surrendered Bond and shall authenticate and deliver, without
charge to the Registered Owner or transferee therefor, a new Bond (or Bonds at the option of the
new Registered Owner) of the same series, date, maturity, and interest rate and for the same
aggregate principal amount in any authorized denomination, naming as Registered Owner the
person or persons listed as the assignee on the assignment form appearing on the surrendered
Bond, in exchange for such surrendered and cancelled Bond. Any Bond may be surrendered to
the Bond Registrar and exchanged, without charge, for an equal aggregate principal amount of
Bonds of the same series, date, maturity, and interest rate, in any authorized denomination. The
Bond Registrar shall not be obligated to register the transfer of or to exchange any Bond during
the period from the Record Date to the redemption or payment date.
(f) Bond Registrar’s Ownership of Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the
Registered Owner of any Bond with the same rights it would have if it were not the Bond
Registrar and, to the extent permitted by law, may act as depository for and permit any of its
officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any
committee formed to protect the right of the Registered Owners or beneficial owners of Bonds.
(g) Place and Medium of Payment. Both principal of and interest on the Bonds shall
be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Interest on the Bonds shall be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and twelve 30-day months. For so long as all Bonds
are held by DTC, payments of principal thereof and interest thereon shall be made to Registered
Owners as of the Record Date as provided in accordance with the operational arrangements of
DTC referred to in the Letter of Representations. In the event that the Bonds are no longer held
by DTC or other depository, interest on the Bonds shall be paid by check or draft mailed to the
Registered Owners at the addresses for such Registered Owners appearing on the Bond Register
on the Record Date, or upon the written request of a Registered Owner of more than $1,000,000
of Bonds (received by the Bond Registrar at least by the Record Date), such payment shall be
made by the Bond Registrar by wire transfer to the account within the United States designated
by the Registered Owner. Principal of the Bonds shall be payable upon presentation and
surrender of such Bonds by the Registered Owners at the designated office of the Bond
Registrar.
If any Bond is duly presented for payment and funds have not been provided by the City
on the applicable payment date, then interest will continue to accrue thereafter on the unpaid
principal thereof at the rate stated on the Bond until the Bond is paid.

Section 4. Redemption Prior to Maturity and Purchase of Bonds.
(a) Mandatory Redemption of Term Bonds and Optional Redemption, if any. The
Bonds of each series shall be subject to optional redemption on the dates, at the prices and under
the terms set forth in the Bond Purchase Contract. The Bonds of each series shall be subject to
mandatory redemption to the extent, if any, set forth in the Bond Purchase Contract.
(b) Purchase of Bonds. The City further reserves the right and option to purchase any
or all of the Bonds offered to it at any time at any price acceptable to the City plus accrued
interest to the date of purchase.
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. For as long as the Bonds are held in
book-entry only form, the selection of particular Bonds within a series and maturity to be
redeemed shall be made in accordance with the operational arrangements then in effect at DTC.
If the Bonds are no longer held in book-entry form, the selection of such Bonds to be redeemed
and the surrender and reissuance thereof, as applicable, shall be made as provided in the
following provisions of this subsection (c). If the City redeems at any one time fewer than all of
the Bonds of a series having the same maturity date, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds of
such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by lot (or in such manner determined by the Bond
Registrar) in increments of $5,000. In the case of a Bond of a denomination greater than $5,000,
the City and the Bond Registrar shall treat each Bond as representing such number of separate
Bonds each of the denomination of $5,000 as is obtained by dividing the actual principal amount
of such Bond by $5,000. In the event that only a portion of the principal sum of a Bond is
redeemed, upon surrender of such Bond at the designated office of the Bond Registrar there shall
be issued to the Registered Owner, without charge therefor, for the then-unredeemed balance of
the principal sum thereof, at the option of the Registered Owner, a Bond or Bonds of like
maturity and interest rate in any of the denominations herein authorized.
(d) Notice of Redemption.
(1) Official Notice. For so long as the Bonds are held in book-entry form,
notice of redemption (which notice may be conditional) shall be given in accordance with the
operational arrangements of DTC as then in effect, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar
will provide any notice of redemption to any Beneficial Owners. Thereafter (if the Bonds are no
longer held in book-entry form), notice of redemption shall be given in the manner hereinafter
provided. Unless waived by any owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any such
redemption (which redemption may be conditioned by the Bond Registrar on the receipt of
sufficient funds for redemption or otherwise) shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of
the City by mailing a copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail at least 20 days and
not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered Owner of the Bond
or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is
furnished in writing by such Registered Owner to the Bond Registrar.
All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state: (A) the redemption date,
(B) the redemption price, (C) if fewer than all outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the
identification by maturity (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal
amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed, (D) any conditions to redemption, (E) that (unless such
Page 27 of 112
-10-
10120 00001 jg314w27pg
notice is conditional) on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable
upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, and that interest thereon shall
cease to accrue from and after said date, and (F) the place where such Bonds are to be
surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the designated
office of the Bond Registrar.
On or prior to any redemption date, unless any condition to such redemption has not been
satisfied or waived or notice of such redemption has been rescinded, the City shall deposit with
the Bond Registrar an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds
or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date.
The City retains the right to rescind any redemption notice and the related optional
redemption of Bonds by giving notice of rescission to the affected registered owners at any time
on or prior to the scheduled redemption date. Any notice of optional redemption that is so
rescinded shall be of no effect, and the Bonds for which the notice of optional redemption has
been rescinded shall remain outstanding.
(2) Effect of Notice; Bonds Due. If an unconditional notice of redemption has
been given and not rescinded, or if the conditions set forth in a conditional notice of redemption
have been satisfied or waived, the Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall, on the
redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and, if the
Bond Registrar then holds sufficient funds to pay such Bonds at the redemption price, then from
and after such date such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender
of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be paid by the
Bond Registrar at the redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the redemption
date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. All Bonds which have been
redeemed shall be canceled by the Bond Registrar and shall not be reissued.
(3) Additional Notice. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall
be given by the City as set out below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give
all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for
redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed. Each further notice of redemption
given hereunder shall contain the information required above for an official notice of redemption
plus (A) the CUSIP numbers of all Bonds being redeemed; (B) the date of issue of the Bonds as
originally issued; (C) the rate of interest borne by each Bond being redeemed; (D) the series and
maturity date of each Bond being redeemed; and (E) any other descriptive information needed to
identify accurately the Bonds being redeemed. Each further notice of redemption may be sent at
least 20 days before the redemption date to each party entitled to receive notice pursuant to the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate and with such additional information as the City shall deem
appropriate, but such mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the redemption of such
Bonds.
(4) Amendment of Notice Provisions. The foregoing notice provisions of this
Section 4, including but not limited to the information to be included in redemption notices and
the persons designated to receive notices, may be amended by additions, deletions and changes
in order to maintain compliance with duly promulgated regulations and recommendations
regarding notices of redemption of municipal securities.

Section 5. Form of Bonds. The Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by this reference, with such changes thereto as may be
approved by a Designated Representative, consistent with the provisions of Section 10 hereof.
Section 6. Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the City
with the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor, and shall be attested by the manual or
facsimile signature of the Clerk, and shall have the seal of the City impressed or a facsimile
thereof imprinted, or otherwise reproduced thereon.
In the event any officer who shall have signed or whose facsimile signatures appear on
any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer of the City before said Bonds shall have been
authenticated or delivered by the Bond Registrar or issued by the City, such Bonds may
nevertheless be authenticated, delivered and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery and
issuance, shall be as binding upon the City as though said person had not ceased to be such
officer. Any Bond may be signed and attested on behalf of the City by such persons who, at the
actual date of execution of such Bond shall be the proper officer of the City, although at the
original date of such Bond such persons were not such officers of the City.
Only such Bonds as shall bear thereon a Certificate of Authentication manually executed
by an authorized representative of the Bond Registrar shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose
or entitled to the benefits of this ordinance. Such Certificate of Authentication shall be
conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly executed, authenticated and
delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of this ordinance.
Section 7. Application of Bond Proceeds; Plan of Refunding.
(a) Plan of Refunding. The City proposes to defease and/or refund the Refunded
Bonds as set forth herein. A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be deposited, with other
available funds of the City, if any, with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to
be used immediately upon receipt thereof to defease the Refunded Bonds as authorized by the
2010 Ordinance to the maturity date or Call Date and to pay costs of issuance and administrative
costs of the refunding.
The proceeds of the Bonds deposited with the Escrow Agent shall be used to defease the
Refunded Bonds and discharge the obligations thereon by either holding such funds uninvested
as cash or by the purchase of Acquired Obligations bearing such interest and maturing as to
principal and interest in such amounts and at such times which, together with any necessary
beginning cash balance, will provide for the payment of interest on the Refunded Bonds due at
maturity or on and prior to the Call Date, and the principal amount due (100% of par) on such
date. Such Acquired Obligations shall be purchased at a yield not greater than the yield
permitted by the Code and regulations relating to acquired obligations in connection with
refunding bond issues.
(b) Escrow Agent; Escrow Agreement. The Designated Representative is hereby
authorized to solicit proposals from and to select an Escrow Agent. A beginning cash balance
and the Acquired Obligations, if any, shall be deposited irrevocably with the Escrow Agent in an
amount sufficient to defease and/or redeem the Refunded Bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds
Page 29 of 112
-12-
10120 00001 jg314w27pg
remaining after acquisition of the Acquired Obligations and provision for the necessary cash
balance shall be used to pay expenses of the acquisition and safekeeping of the Acquired
Obligations and costs of issuance of the Bonds and the administrative costs of the refunding. In
order to carry out the purposes of this section, the Designated Representative is authorized and
directed to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement to the Escrow Agent.
(c) Call for Redemption of Refunded Bonds. The City hereby sets aside available
funds of the City and sufficient funds out of the proceeds of the Bonds and the purchase of
Acquired Obligations, if any, from proceeds of the Bonds to make the payments described
above. The City further calls the callable Refunded Bonds for redemption on the Call Date in
accordance with the provisions of the 2010 Ordinance authorizing the redemption and retirement
of the Refunded Bonds prior to their fixed maturities. Said defeasance and call for redemption of
the Refunded Bonds shall be irrevocable after the issuance of the Bonds and delivery of cash
and/or Acquired Obligations to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and
directed to provide for the giving of notices of defeasance and/or redemption of the Refunded
Bonds in accordance with the applicable provisions of the 2010 Ordinance. The costs of
publication of such notices shall be an expense of the City.
The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to pay to the paying agent for the
Refunded Bonds, sums sufficient to pay, when due, the payments specified in this section. All
such sums shall be paid from the moneys and Acquired Obligations deposited with the Escrow
Agent, and the income therefrom and proceeds thereof. All such sums so paid shall be credited to
the Refunding Account (which is hereby authorized to be created) or other funds created under
the Escrow Agreement. All moneys and Acquired Obligations deposited with the Escrow Agent
and any income therefrom shall be held, invested (but only at the direction of the Finance
Director) and applied in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance, the Escrow
Agreement, and with the laws of the State for the benefit of the City and owners of the Refunded
Bonds. The City will take such actions as are found necessary to see that all necessary and
proper fees, compensation and expenses of the Escrow Agent for the Refunded Bonds shall be
paid when due.
Section 8. Tax Covenants. The City will take all actions necessary to assure the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners of the Bonds to the same
extent as such interest is permitted to be excluded from gross income under the Code as in effect
on the date of issuance of the Bonds, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Private Activity Bond Limitation. The City will assure that the proceeds of the
Bonds are not so used as to cause the Bonds to satisfy the private business tests of Section 141(b)
of the Code or the private loan financing test of Section 141(c) of the Code.
(b) Limitations on Disposition of Project. The City will not sell or otherwise transfer
or dispose of (i) any personal property components of the projects financed with proceeds of the
Refunded Bonds (the “Projects”) other than in the ordinary course of an established government
program under Treasury Regulation 1.141-2(d)(4) or (ii) any real property components of the
Projects, unless it has received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such disposition
will not adversely affect the treatment of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income
for federal income tax purposes.
Page 30 of 112
-13-
10120 00001 jg314w27pg
(c) Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The City will not take any action or permit or
suffer any action to be taken if the result of such action would be to cause the Bonds to be
“federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code.
(d) Rebate Requirement. The City will take any and all actions necessary to assure
compliance with Section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the rebate of excess investment earnings,
if any, to the federal government, to the extent that such section is applicable to the Bonds.
(e) No Arbitrage. The City will not take, or permit or suffer to be taken any action
with respect to the proceeds of the Bonds which, if such action had been reasonably expected to
have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally taken, on the date of issuance of the
Bonds would have caused the Bonds to be an “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section
148 of the Code.
(f) Registration Covenant. The City will maintain a system for recording the
ownership of the Bonds that complies with the provisions of Section 149 of the Code until the
Bonds have been surrendered and canceled.
(g) Record Retention. The City will retain its records of all accounting and
monitoring it carries out with respect to the Bonds for at least three years after the Bonds mature
or are redeemed (whichever is earlier); however, if the Bonds are redeemed and refunded, the
City will retain its records of accounting and monitoring at least three years after the earlier of
the maturity or redemption of the obligations that refunded the Bonds.
(h) Compliance with Federal Tax Certificate. The City will comply with the
provisions of the Federal Tax Certificate with respect to the Bonds, which are incorporated
herein as if fully set forth herein.
The covenants of this section will survive payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds.
Section 9. Pledge of Funds; General Obligation.
(a) General. The City hereby authorizes the creation of a fund to be used for the
payment of debt service on the Bonds, designated as the “Bond Redemption Fund” (the “Bond
Fund”). No later than the date each payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds becomes
due, the City shall transmit sufficient funds, from the Bond Fund or from other legally available
sources, to the Bond Registrar for the payment of such principal or interest. Money in the Bond
Fund may be invested in legal investments for City funds.
(b) Pledge of Full Faith and Credit. The City hereby irrevocably covenants and
agrees for as long as the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid that each year it will include in its
budget and levy an ad valorem tax upon all the property within the City subject to taxation in an
amount that will be sufficient, together with other revenues and money of the City legally
available for such purposes, to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due.
The City hereby irrevocably pledges that the annual tax provided for herein to be levied
for the payment of such principal and interest shall be within and as a part of the tax levy
permitted to cities without a vote of the people, and that a sufficient portion of each annual levy
Page 31 of 112
-14-
10120 00001 jg314w27pg
to be levied and collected by the City prior to the full payment of the principal of and interest on
the Bonds will be and is hereby irrevocably set aside, pledged and appropriated for the payment
of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The full faith, credit and resources of the City are
hereby irrevocably pledged for the annual levy and collection of said taxes and for the prompt
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due.
(c) Pledge of REET 1. The City hereby further pledges the proceeds of REET 1, as
necessary, to the series of Bonds or the portion of a series of Bonds allocated to pay costs of the
defeasance and/or refunding of all or a portion of the 2010B Bonds, and related costs of issuance.

(6) the Bonds conform to all other terms of this ordinance.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this section, each Designated

this ordinance, the authorization for the issuance of the Bonds shall be rescinded, and the Bonds
shall not be issued nor their sale approved unless such Bonds are re-authorized by ordinance of
the Council. The ordinance re-authorizing the issuance and sale of such Bonds may be in the

Purchase Contract. Such documents may include, but are not limited to, documents related to a

principal of and interest on all or a portion of the Bonds as provided therein, if such insurance is
determined by a Designated Representative to be in the best interest of the City.
(d) Preliminary and Final Official Statements. The Finance Director is hereby
authorized to ratify and to deem final the preliminary Official Statement relating to the Bonds for
the purposes of the Rule. The Finance Director is further authorized to ratify and to approve for
purposes of the Rule, on behalf of the City, the final Official Statement relating to the issuance
and sale of the Bonds and the distribution of the final Official Statement pursuant thereto with
such changes, if any, as may be deemed to be appropriate.

Section 11. Undertaking to Provide Ongoing Disclosure. The City covenants to
execute and deliver at the time of Closing a Continuing Disclosure Certificate consistent with the

Disclosure Certificate upon the issuance, delivery and sale of the Bonds with such terms and
provisions as such officer shall deem appropriate and in the best interest of the City.

Obligations, maturing at such time or times and bearing interest to be earned thereon in amounts
(together with such money, if necessary) sufficient to redeem and retire part or all of the Bonds
in accordance with their terms, are set aside in a special account of the City to effect such
redemption and retirement, and such money and the principal of and interest on such
Government Obligations are irrevocably set aside and pledged for such purpose, then no further
payments need be made into the Bond Fund for the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Bonds so provided for, and such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or

Bond Registrar with indemnity satisfactory to the City and the Bond Registrar.

agreements provided in this ordinance to be performed on the part of the City shall be declared

GOAL:
Transform the underutilized alley, between the Auburn Avenue Theater and the future
Arts & Culture Center, into a space for creativity, vibrancy, and cultural connectivity.
INITIAL VISION:
A UW Livable Cities project created the initial vision for the Auburn Arts Alley.
The vision was created by landscape architect students Allison Ong, Sylvia Janicki, and
Jack Alderman. Their initial alleyway redesign plans noted project cost estimates at
over $500,000.
COLLABORATIVE PLAN:
The initial designs acted as a springboard for a successful $20,000 grant award
through 4Culture’s Creative Consultancy program. A subsequent $23,000 grant award
from 4Culture was awarded for a second phase of the project. City funding for the project
was budgeted using Local Revitalization Funds and funding from Community Development.

Community Visioning
•4Culture program that matches Local Arts Agencies with artists for creative projects.
•City was matched with talented local artist Kathleen Fruge Brown to submit a formal proposal for grant
consideration.
•An outreach effort was launched to gather community input for the project. From a community-shared
Pinterest idea board, to a widely-distributed email survey, and in-person stakeholder meetings, the public
input process helped define and refine the project goals.
•Lighting, seating, public art, as well as space for temporary or ‘rotating’ art and performances were items the
public wanted as part of the project
•Above all, the community conversations revealed a hunger for more visual expressions of diversity—to see
their own culture and history embodied in the public space.
•Formal grant application submitted and City selected to receive a $20,000 grant to move forward with the project.

•Fruge Brown connected with the Muckleshoot Tribe to gain inspiration for the project elements.
•The series of mosaics, that are inlaid into the concrete bench, are based on traditional and contemporary weaving
designs, with many of the original designs made by talented artistic collaborator Gail White Eagle, of the
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, as well as other Coast Salish weaving and basketry designs.
•The concrete bench has cast text of the Muckleshoot motto, “I am alive and strong” translated from bəqəlšuɫucid
into ten other languages most commonly spoken in the Auburn community.
•Fruge Brown has also designed overhead lighting, with figures for the lighting created by the community during
AuburnFest in 2019; the designs are intended to be lasercut in the MakerSpace with community member
participation.

To: Auburn City Council
From: Angela San Filippo, SKHHP Executive Manager
Date: September 14, 2020
RE: Resolution 5547 to adopt South King Housing and Homelessness Partners
(SKHHP) 2020-2021 Work Plan
SUMMARY
The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) 2020-2021 Work Plan is a two-
year work plan, subsequent work plans will be developed annually. Consistent with the SKHHP
Interlocal Agreement, the SKHHP work plan must be approved by each legislative body and
adopted by the SKHHP Executive Board. A draft of the 2020-2021 SKHHP Work Plan was
presented to each partner jurisdiction for review and feedback prior to SKHHP Executive Board
adoption on July 24, 2020, see attachment to the proposed resolution. Auburn City Council
reviewed the draft work plan during the June 8 study session.
BACKGROUND
The 2020-2021 work plan operationalizes the priority action items identified by the Executive
Board and staff work group in 2019; incorporates actions necessary to address opportunities
created by the 2019 legislative session; and incorporates feedback from partner jurisdictions.
The work plan reflects the intention to hire a Program Coordinator and also identifies key allies
with goals and activities that align with SKHHP that will augment staff capacity. Th e work plan is
structured into three work areas: governance and administration; policy and planning; and
outreach and education.
Governance and administration includes start-up procedures, program-wide management
activities, the annual work plan and budget process, and establishing an Advisory Board. Once
established, the Advisory Board will provide recommendations to the Executive Board that will
help to ensure equitable and informed decision making. The key outcomes for this work area
are:
Functioning and collaborative entity with clear measures of success.
Implementation that supports equitable outcomes across jurisdictions, community
members, and stakeholders.

homelessness programs in South King County.
Increased interest in South King County from non-profit and for-profit housing
developers.

Memorandum
South King Housing and Homelessness Partners
To: Auburn City Council
From: Angela San Filippo, SKHHP Executive Manager
Date: September 14, 2020
RE: Resolution 5548 to adopt South King Housing and Homelessness Partners
(SKHHP) 2021 Budget
SUMMARY
The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) 2021 Budget provides an
itemization of all categories of budgeted expenses and itemization of each Party’s contribution,
including in-kind services. Consistent with the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement, the SKHHP budget
must be approved by each legislative body and adopted by the SKHHP Executive Board. The
SKHHP Executive Board adopted the 2021 Budget on July 24, 2020, see attachment to proposed
resolution.
BACKGROUND
The draft 2021 SKHHP budget was presented to each member jurisdiction for feedback. Auburn
City Council reviewed the draft budget during the June 8 study session. The 2021 SKHHP Budget
maintains current contribution rates for each participating jurisdiction. The jurisdiction
contributions are based on population size. As shown in the resolution , Auburn’s 2021
contribution is $26,000.
In light of the revenue shortfalls and budget uncertainties in all jurisdictions because of the
pandemic, maintaining current jurisdiction contributions was a priority for the SKHHP Executive
Board. Maintaining jurisdiction contributions is made possible by personnel cost savings from
2019 and 2020. Personnel costs savings in 2019 are a result of SKHHP Executive Manager hire
date in January 2020. Projected personnel cost savings in 2020 are a result of hiring a three-
quarter time second position and delaying hiring this position until fall of 2020. Salary and
benefit projections, cost savings in 2019, and projected cost savings in 2020, indicate the
current jurisdiction contributions can maintain current staffing capacity through 2022. Any
changes to staff capacity or increases in the operational budget will require an increase in
jurisdiction contributions.
