REVENUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, SERIES 2003"
Action Requested: Approval of Ordinance No. 846 authorizes the issuance of certificates of
obligation for the purpose of funding capital improvement projects.
Background
Information: On March 18, 2003, the Council approved Resolution No. 03 -020. This
authorized the publication of a notice in the newspaper of the city's intent to
issue certificates of obligation. The certificates are issued and approved by
adoption of an ordinance. Approval of Ordinance No. 846 will set in motion
the legal requirements to obtain the proceeds. After approval, the legal
documents must be reviewed by the Texas Attorney General's Office. The
City would receive funding in mid May. The proceeds from the bonds will be
used for street, storm drainage, water and sewer capital improvement projects
and the purchase of equipment and machinery for the police department.
Financial
Considerations: The debt will be repaid through the City's ad valorem tax rate, water and sewer
projects will be repaid through the City's utility fund and Crime Control
district will fund the portion related to public safety. The allocation of the
bond proceeds are as follows:
General Fund (ad valorem funded) $ 7,303,000
Water and Sewer $ 4,036,000
Crime Control District (sales tax) $ 1,000,000
12.339.000
The above allocation is in accordance with the approved 2002 -03 CIP budget.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: Public Hearing is scheduled for April 15, 2003.
Legal Review: Ed Esquivel with the law firm Fulbright and Jaworski serves as the City's bond
counsel, and as such has prepared the Ordinance.

delivery thereof, the same shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same
obligation to pay, and entitled to the same benefits under this Ordinance, as the Certificates

expense or service charge to the Holder, except as otherwise herein provided, and except that
the Paying Agent /Registrar shall require payment by the Holder requesting such transfer or
exchange of any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such
transfer or exchange.
Certificates cancelled by reason of an exchange or transfer pursuant to the provisions
hereof are hereby defined to be "Predecessor Certificates," evidencing all or a portion, as the
case may be, of the same obligation to pay evidenced by the new Certificate or Certificates
registered and delivered in the exchange or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term
"Predecessor Certificates" shall include any mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Certificate for
which a replacement Certificate has been issued, registered and delivered in lieu thereof
pursuant to the provisions of Section 20 hereof and such new replacement Certificate shall be
deemed to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Certificate.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/ Registrar shall be required to issue or transfer to
an assignee of a Holder any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days
of the date fixed for the redemption of such Certificate; provided, however, such limitation on

of a Certificate called for redemption in part.

provisions contained in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof relating to the payment, and
transfer /exchange of the Certificates, the City hereby approves and authorizes the use of

City, notwithstanding that one or more of the individuals executing the same shall cease to be
such officer at the time of delivery of the Certificates to the initial purchaser(s) and with respect
to Certificates delivered in subsequent exchanges and transfers, all as authorized and provided
in V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 1201.

Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas, or his duly authorized agent, or a
certificate of registration substantially in the form provided in Section 9D, manually executed by
an authorized officer, employee or representative of the Paying Agent /Registrar, and either such
certificate duly signed upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,

This Certificate is one of the series specified in its title issued in the aggregate principal
amount of $ (herein referred to as the "Certificates ") for the purpose of paying
contractual obligations to be incurred for (i) the construction of public works, to wit: storm
drainage improvements, improvements and extensions to the City's combined Waterworks and
Sewer System, and street improvements, including the purchase of land and rights -of -way
therefor, (ii) the purchase of materials, supplies, equipment and machinery for the police
department, and (iii) professional services rendered in relation to such projects and the
financing thereof;, under and in strict conformity with the Constitution and laws of the State of
Texas, particularly V.T.C.A., Local Government Code, Subchapter C of Chapter 271, as
amended, and pursuant to an Ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City (herein referred
to as the "Ordinance ").
The Certificates maturing on and after February 15, 2011, may be redeemed prior to
their Stated Maturities, at the option of the City, in whole or in part in principal amounts of
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and if within a Stated Maturity by lot by the Paying
Agent/Registrar), on February 15, 2010, or on any date thereafter, at the redemption price of
par, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption.
At least thirty days prior to a redemption date, the City shall cause a written notice of

owners of each Certificate to be redeemed at the address shown on the Security Register and
subject to the terms and provisions relating thereto contained in the Ordinance. If a Certificate

principal amount shall be made to the registered owner only upon presentation and surrender of
such Certificate to the Designated Payment /Transfer Office of the Paying Agent /Registrar, and a
new Certificate or Certificates of like maturity and interest rate in any authorized denominations
provided by the Ordinance for the then unredeemed balance of the principal sum thereof will be

whole or in part, the City and the Paying Agent /Registrar shall not be required to transfer such
Certificate to an assignee of the registered owner within 45 days of the redemption date
SOUTHLAKE C_O 8
2003 ORDINANCE.DOC
therefor; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an
exchange by the registered owner of the unredeemed balance of a Certificate redeemed in part.
The Certificates are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax levied, within the
limitations prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the City and, together with the
outstanding Previously Issued Certificates (identified and defined in the Ordinance), are
additionally payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues (as defined
in the Ordinance) of the City's combined Waterworks and Sewer System (the "System "), such
lien and pledge, however, being junior and subordinate to the lien on and pledge of the Net
Revenues of the System securing the payment of "Prior Lien Obligations" (as defined in the
Ordinance) now outstanding and hereafter issued by the City. In the Ordinance, the City
reserves and retains the right to issue Prior Lien Obligations without limitation as to principal
amount but subject to any applicable terms, conditions or restrictions under law or otherwise as
well as the right to issue additional obligations payable from the same sources as the
Certificates and, together with the Certificates and the Previously Issued Certificates, equally
and ratably secured by a parity lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System.
Reference is hereby made to the Ordinance, a copy of which is on file in the Designated
Payment /Transfer Office of the Paying Agent /Registrar, and to all the provisions of which the
owner or holder of this Certificate by the acceptance hereof hereby assents, for definitions of
terms; the description of and the nature and extent of the tax levied for the payment of the
Certificates; the Net Revenues pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the
Certificates; the nature and extent and manner of enforcement of the pledge; the terms and
conditions relating to the transfer or exchange of this Certificate; the conditions upon which the
Ordinance may be amended or supplemented with or without the consent of the Holders; the
rights, duties, and obligations of the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar; the terms and
provisions upon which the tax levy and the pledges, charges and covenants made therein may
be discharged at or prior to the maturity of this Certificate, and this Certificate deemed to be no
longer Outstanding thereunder; and for the other terms and provisions contained therein.
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Ordinance.
This Certificate, subject to certain limitations contained in the Ordinance, may be
transferred on the Security Register only upon its presentation and surrender at the Designated
Payment /Transfer Office of the Paying Agent /Registrar, with the Assignment hereon duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Paying Agent /Registrar duly executed by, the registered owner hereof, or his duly authorized
agent. When a transfer on the Security Register occurs, one or more new fully registered
Certificates of the same Stated Maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate of
interest, and of the same aggregate principal amount will be issued by the Paying
Agent/Registrar to the designated transferee or transferees.
The City and the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any agent of either, shall treat the
registered owner whose name appears on the Security Register (i) on the Record Date as the
owner entitled to payment of interest hereon, (ii) on the date of surrender of this Certificate as
the owner entitled to payment of principal hereof at its Stated Maturity or its redemption, in
whole or in part, and (iii) on any other date as the owner for all other purposes, and neither the
City nor the Paying Agent /Registrar, or any agent of either, shall be affected by notice to the

tax legally and fully sufficient to pay the said Debt Service Requirements, it having been

Certificates prior to the Collection Date for the ad valorem taxes to be levied and
(b) adding thereto the amount of the Net Revenues of the System appropriated
and allocated to pay such Debt Service Requirements prior to the Collection Date
for the ad valorem taxes to be levied.
(2) The amount of Net Revenues of the System, appropriated and to

are hereby irrevocably pledged, equally and ratably, to the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Previously Issued Certificates, the Certificates, and Additional Certificates, if
issued, and the pledge of Net Revenues of the System herein made for the payment of the
Certificates shall constitute a lien on the Net Revenues of the System in accordance with the
terms and provisions hereof and be valid and binding and fully perfected from and after the date

SOUTHLAKE C_O 16
2003 ORDINANCE.DOC

Certificates are Outstanding such that the pledge of the Net Revenues of the System granted by
the City under this Section 13 is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business
& Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Certificates the
perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the City agrees to take such measures as it

interest in said pledge to occur.

Revenues (excluding earnings from the investment of money held in any special funds or
accounts created for the payment and security of Prior Lien Obligations) shall be deposited as
collected into a fund maintained at an official depository of the City and known on the books of
the City as the "City of Southlake Waterworks and Sanitary Sewer System Fund" (hereinafter
called the "System Fund "). All moneys deposited to the credit of the System Fund shall be
allocated, appropriated and budgeted to the extent required for the following purposes and in
the order of priority shown, to wit:
First To the payment of Operating and Maintenance Expenses of the System
as defined in herein or required by statute to be a first charge on and claim
against the Gross Revenues of the System.
Second To the payment of all amounts required to be deposited in the
special Funds created and established for the payment, security and benefit of
Prior Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
ordinances authorizing the issuance of Prior Lien Obligations.
Third Equally and ratably, to the payment of the amounts required to be
deposited in the special funds and accounts created and established for the
payment of the Previously Issued Certificates, the Certificates (the Certificate
Fund), and Additional Certificates.
Any Net Revenues remaining in the System Fund after satisfying the foregoing
payments, or making adequate and sufficient provision for the payment thereof, may be
appropriated and used for any other City purpose now or hereafter permitted by law.
SECTION 15: Deposits to Certificate Fund The City hereby covenants and agrees to
cause to be deposited to the credit of the Certificate Fund prior to each principal and interest
payment date for the Certificates from the pledged Net Revenues of the System in the System
Fund, after the deduction of all payments required to be made to the special Funds or accounts
created for the payment and security of the Prior Lien Obligations, an amount equal to one
hundred per centum (100 %) of the amount required to fully pay the interest and principal
payments then due and payable on the Certificates. Such deposits to pay accrued interest and
maturing principal on the Certificates from the Net Revenues of the System shall be made in
substantially equal monthly installments on or before the 10th day of each month; provided,
however, should the annual tax levy pursuant to Section 12 hereof be sufficient to pay in full the
principal and interest on the Certificates, no such monthly deposits to the Certificate Fund from
the Net Revenues of the System shall be required.
Furthermore, accrued interest received by the City from the purchasers of the
Certificates and any proceeds of sale of the Certificates in excess of the amount required to pay
SOUTHLAKE C_O 17
2003 ORDINANCE.DOC
the contractual obligations to be incurred (including change orders to a construction contract)
shall be deposited in the Certificate Fund and such amounts deposited to the Certificate Fund
shall reduce the sums otherwise required to be deposited in said Fund from ad valorem taxes
and the Net Revenues of the System.
SECTION 16: Security of Funds All moneys on deposit in the Funds for which this
Ordinance makes provision (except any portion thereof as may be at any time properly
invested) shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of Texas
for the security of public funds, and moneys on deposit in such Funds shall be used only for the
purposes permitted by this Ordinance.
SECTION 17: Special Covenants The City hereby further covenants as follows:
(a) It has the lawful power to pledge the Net Revenues of the System

of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition,
construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross
Proceeds) in a manner which if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on any
Certificate to become includable in the gross income, as defined in section 61 of the Code, of
the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, unless and until the City receives a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in
the field of municipal bond law to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not
adversely affect the exemption from federal income tax of the interest on any Certificate, the
City shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section.
(c) No Private Use or Private Payments Except as permitted by section 141 of the
Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall at all times prior to the last
Stated Maturity of Certificates:
(1) exclusively own, operate and possess all property the acquisition,
construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or
indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Certificates, and not use or permit the use
of such Gross Proceeds (including all contractual arrangements with terms
different than those applicable to the general public) or any property acquired,
constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by
any person or entity (including the United States or any agency, department and
instrumentality thereof) other than a state or local government, unless such use
is solely as a member of the general public; and
(2) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other
payment by any person or entity who is treated as using Gross Proceeds of the
Certificates or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which
is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds,
SOUTHLAKE C_O 21
2003 ORDINANCE.DOC
other than taxes of general application within the City or interest earned on
investments acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending application for their
intended purposes.
(d) No Private Loan Except to the extent permitted by section 141 of the Code and
the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the
Certificates to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local
government. For purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to
be "loaned" to a person or entity if: (1) property acquired, constructed or improved with such
Gross Proceeds is sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt
for federal income tax purposes; (2) capacity in or service from such property is committed to
such person or entity under a take -or -pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or (3)
indirect benefits, or burdens and benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or any property
acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds are otherwise transferred in a
transaction which is the economic equivalent of a loan.
(e) Not to Invest at Higher Yield Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not at any time prior to the
final Stated Maturity of the Certificates directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any
Investment (or use Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a result of such
investment the Yield from the Closing Date of all Investments acquired with Gross Proceeds (or
with money replaced thereby), whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield of
the Certificates.
(f) Not Federally Guaranteed Except to the extent permitted by section 149(b) of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any
action which would cause the Certificates to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of
section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(g) Inf ormation Report The City shall timely file the information required by section
149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038 -G or such other form and
in such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
(h) Rebate of Arbitrage Profits Except to the extent otherwise provided in section
148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder:
(1) The City shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all
receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account
separately and apart from all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and
investments thereof) and shall retain all records of accounting for at least six
years after the day on which the last Outstanding Certificate is discharged.
However, to the extent permitted by law, the City may commingle Gross
Proceeds of the Certificates with other money of the City, provided that the City
separately accounts for each receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds and the
obligations acquired therewith.
(2) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the City shall
calculate the Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in section 148(f)
of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder. The City shall maintain
such calculations with its official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance
of the Certificates until six years after the final Computation Date.
SOUTHLAKE C_O 22
2003 ORDINANCE.DOC
(3) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Certificates by
the Purchasers and the loan of the money represented thereby and in order to
induce such purchase by measures designed to insure the excludability of the
interest thereon from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income
tax purposes, the City shall pay to the United States out of the Certificate Fund or
its general fund, as permitted by applicable Texas statute, regulation or opinion
of the Attorney General of the State of Texas, the amount that when added to the
future value of previous rebate payments made for the Certificates equals (i) in
the case of a Final Computation Date as defined in Section 1.148- 3(e)(2) of the
Regulations, one hundred percent (100 %) of the Rebate Amount on such date;
and (ii) in the case of any other Computation Date, ninety percent (90 %) of the
Rebate Amount on such date. In all cases, the rebate payments shall be made
at the times, in the installments, to the place and in the manner as is or may be
required by section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings
thereunder, and shall be accompanied by Form 8038 -T or such other forms and
information as is or may be required by Section 148(f) of the Code and the
Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(4) The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no
errors are made in the calculations and payments required by paragraphs (2) and
(3), and if an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a
reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in all events within one hundred eighty
(180) days after discovery of the error), including payment to the United States of
any additional Rebate Amount owed to it, interest thereon, and any penalty
imposed under Section 1.148 -3(h) of the Regulations.
(i) Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the
earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Certificates, enter into any transaction that
reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to Subsection (h) of this
Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the Yield of the Certificates not
been relevant to either party.
(j) Elections The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, City Secretary, City
Manager and Director of Finance, individually or jointly, to make elections permitted or required
pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Regulations, as they deem necessary or
appropriate in connection with the Certificates, in the Certificate as to Tax Exemption or similar
or other appropriate certificate, form or document.

notice to any particular Holders, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to all other Certificates. Where this Ordinance provides
for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Holder entitled to receive
such notice, either before or after the event with respect to which such notice is given, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with

presentation of the City's financial results, condition, or prospects or hereby undertake to update

information or its usefulness to a decision to invest in or sell Certificates at any future date.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE CITY BE LIABLE TO THE HOLDER OR
BENEFICIAL OWNER OF ANY CERTIFICATE OR ANY OTHER PERSON, IN CONTRACT OR
TORT, FOR DAMAGES RESULTING IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY BREACH BY THE
CITY, WHETHER NEGLIGENT OR WITHOUT FAULT ON ITS PART, OF ANY COVENANT
SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION, BUT EVERY RIGHT AND REMEDY OF ANY SUCH PERSON,
IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR OR ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH BREACH SHALL BE
LIMITED TO AN ACTION FOR MANDAMUS OR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.
No default by the City in observing or performing its obligations under this Section shall
constitute a breach of or default under this Ordinance for purposes of any other provision of this
Ordinance.

changed circumstances resulting from a change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a
change in the identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the City, but only if (1) the
provisions of this Section, as so amended, would have permitted underwriters to purchase or
sell Certificates in the primary offering of the Certificates in compliance with the Rule, taking into
SOUTHLAKE C_O 27
2003 ORDINANCE.DOC
account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to the date of such amendment, as well
as such changed circumstances, and (2) either (a) the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount (or any greater amount required by any other provision of this Ordinance that
authorizes such an amendment) of the Outstanding Certificates consent to such amendment or
(b) a Person that is unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally recognized bond counsel)
determines that such amendment will not materially impair the interests of the Holders and
beneficial owners of the Certificates. The provisions of this Section may also be amended from
time to time or repealed by the City if the SEC amends or repeals the applicable provisions of
the Rule or a court of final jurisdiction determines that such provisions are invalid, but only if and
to the extent that reservation of the City's right to do so would not prevent underwriters of the
initial public offering of the Certificates from lawfully purchasing or selling Certificates in such
offering. If the City so amends the provisions of this Section, it shall include with any amended
financial information or operating data next provided in accordance with subsection (b) an
explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any
change in the type of financial information or operating data so provided.
