BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE as follows:
SECTION 1.  In addition to words and terms elsewhere defined in this Ordinance,

limitations on the source of City payments as set forth in Section 3).  Each Authorized Officer is
hereby authorized and directed to execute the Basic Documents on behalf of the City in
substantially the form on file with the City Clerk with such modifications, insertions and changes
as may be approved by the executing officials, which approval shall be conclusively evidenced by
their execution of the Basic Documents.  If more than one series of obligations are issued, Basic
Documents shall include additional agreements necessary to provide for such series.
SECTION 3.  For the payment of the Purchase Payments due and payable under the
Purchase Agreement authorized in Section 2 hereof, there are hereby pledged the City’s Net
Revenues on a priority of lien basis to be determined as set forth in Section 5 hereof.  It is intended
that this pledge of Net Revenues will be sufficient to make the Purchase Payments pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement and the City agrees and covenants to make said Purchase Payments from such
Net Revenues, except to the extent that it chooses to make such payments from other funds, as
permitted by law.  Neither the Purchase Agreement nor the promise to pay pursuant thereto nor the
Obligations constitute a general obligation of the City nor shall the City be liable for the payments
under the Purchase Agreement from ad valorem taxes.
SECTION 4.  The City Council of the City hereby finds and determines that the
financing of the 2024 Project pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Trust
Agreement, through the issuance and the sale of the water and sewer revenue obligations
authorized hereby (the “Obligations”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40,000,000
with a final maturity no later than twenty-one (21) years after the date of issuance at an interest
rate not to exceed 6.0%, are in furtherance of the purposes of the City and in the public interest and
will enhance the standard of living within the City and within the State.
SECTION 5.  The Obligations shall be in the denomination of $5,000 or any
integral multiple thereof, shall be dated as determined by an Authorized Officer, shall bear interest
from such date payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing as determined by an
Authorized Officer, and shall be fully registered obligations without coupons.  The Obligations
shall mature on July 1 in the years determined by an Authorized Officer.

The forms, terms and provisions of the Obligations and the provisions for the
signatures, authentication, payment, registration, transfer, exchange and number shall be as set
forth in the Trust Agreement and are hereby approved.
An Authorized Officer is hereby authorized and directed to determine on behalf of
the City:  (i) whether each series of the Obligations are to be issued on a tax-exempt basis (“Tax-
Exempt Obligations”) or a taxable basis; (ii) the principal amount of the Obligations; (iii) the final
maturity schedule of the Obligations; (iv) the provisions for redemption in advance of maturity or
payment of the Obligations; (v) the interest rates on the Obligations; (vi) the sales price and terms
of the purchase of the Obligations (including the underwriter’s discount and the original issue
discount or premium), (vii) the determination as to which series of Obligations shall be Senior

(viii) the provisions for credit enhancement, if any, for the Obligations including a debt service
reserve fund or surety bond; (ix) the provisions for a capitalized interest or contingency amount, if
any, if deemed to be in the best interests of the City and (x) the identity of the financial institution
to serve as trustee under the Trust Agreement (the “Trustee”).

Agreement.
The forms and other terms and provisions of the Obligations and the provisions for
the signatures, authentication, payment, registration, transfer, exchange, and number shall be as set

the Obligations are to be sold to (i) the Bank Lender pursuant to a bank lending proposal or (ii) the
Underwriters pursuant to negotiated sale as described in the Official Statement (such entity
purchasing the Obligations, the “Purchasers”).  If it is the former, such sale will be evidenced by a
certificate and receipt of the Bank Lender for each series of Obligations.  If it is the latter, such sale
will be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Obligation Purchase Agreement for each
series of Obligations, if applicable.  If the Obligations are to be sold by negotiated sale to the
Underwriters, each Authorized Officer is hereby authorized to execute and deliver an Obligation
Purchase Agreement for each series of Obligations, if applicable, with such insertions, omissions
and changes as are necessary and consistent with this Ordinance, the execution of an Obligation
Purchase Agreement for each series of Obligations, if applicable, being conclusive evidence of
such approval.  An Authorized Officer may make provisions for insurance and/or liquidity support
of the Obligations, if such Authorized Officer determines that such insurance or credit support
would provide a net borrowing cost savings or enhance the marketability of the Obligations.  Such
determinations shall be included in the Obligation Purchase Agreements.
SECTION 7.  If and to the extent applicable, all actions of the City related to preparing and
distributing a form of Preliminary Official Statement, to be used if any of the Obligations are sold
by negotiated sale to the Underwriters, in substantially the same form as that was used in
connection with the offer and sale of the 2022 Obligations, which may be distributed in connection
with the offer and sale of the Obligations (as prepared in accordance with the terms of this
Ordinance, the “Preliminary Official Statement”), are hereby approved and ratified.  The portions
of the Official Statement regarding the Obligations which concern and describe the City are hereby

approved and, if so necessary, the Assistant City Manager or the Budget and Finance Director are
hereby authorized and directed to execute the same and any required certificates as to the accuracy
and completeness of said Official Statement descriptions of the City.
If so necessary, the Preliminary Official Statement is approved and the distribution of the
same is hereby approved.  If and to the extent applicable, the Preliminary Official Statement is
“deemed final” (except for permitted omissions), by the City as of its date for purposes of SEC
Rule 15c2-12(b)(1) and, if so necessary, a final official statement (the “Official Statement”) will
be prepared and distributed to the Underwriters for purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(3) and (4).
If so necessary, the Assistant City Manager or the Budget and Finance Director are authorized and
directed to complete and sign on behalf of the City and in his or her official capacity, the Official
Statement, with such modifications, changes and supplements as being necessary to carry out and
comply with the terms, provisions, and intent of this Ordinance.  If so necessary, the Assistant City
Manager or the Budget and Finance Director are authorized to use and distribute, or authorize the
use and distribution of, the Official Statement and any supplements thereto as so signed in
connection with the execution and delivery of the Obligations as may in his or her judgment be
necessary or appropriate.  If and to the extent applicable, the references to the City contained in the

substantially the forms of such documents (including the exhibits thereto) on file with the City
Clerk, are hereby approved.  An Authorized Officer is hereby authorized and directed to execute

insertions, omissions and changes as are necessary and consistent with this Ordinance, the
execution of such documents being conclusive evidence of such approval and particularly of
approval and acceptance of the covenants contained therein by the City Council of the City on
behalf of the City.
SECTION 9.  Each Authorized Officer is authorized to enter into such agreements
as he determines necessary in conjunction with obtaining bond insurance or a reserve fund surety
bond, if any and which are necessary to carry out and comply with the terms, provisions, and intent
of this Ordinance.
All actions of the City related to preparing and distributing the Preliminary Official
Statement are hereby approved and ratified.  The portions of the Official Statement regarding the
Obligations which concern and describe the City are hereby approved and the City Manager is
hereby authorized and directed to execute the same and any required certificates as to the accuracy
and completeness of said Official Statement descriptions of the City.
SECTION 10.  Each Authorized Officer and the Clerk of the City are hereby
authorized and directed to do all such acts and things to execute, acknowledge and deliver all such
documents (including, without limitation, tax compliance certificates, security agreements and
financing statements, any amendments to such documents and all closing documents) as may in
their discretion be deemed necessary or desirable to carry out and comply with the terms,
provisions and intent of this Ordinance, and the Basic Documents and all exhibits to any of the
foregoing. All of the acts of the officers of the City which are in conformity with the intent and

ACTIVE 694503445v3
-6-
purposes of this Ordinance, whether heretofore or hereafter taken or done, shall be and the same
are hereby ratified, confirmed, and approved in all respects.
SECTION 11.  In the event any of the Obligations are Tax-Exempt Obligations, the
City covenants that it will use, and will restrict the use and investment of, the proceeds of the Tax-
Exempt Obligations in such manner and to such extent as may be necessary so that (a) the
Obligations will not (i) constitute private activity bonds, arbitrage bonds or hedge bonds under
Section 141, 148 or 149 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or (ii) be
treated other than as bonds to which Section 103(a) of the Code applies, and (b) the interest thereon
will not be treated as a preference item under Section 57 of the Code.  An Authorized Officer, or
any other officer having responsibility for issuance of the Obligations shall, alone or with any other
necessary officer or employee or consultant to the City, give an appropriate certificate of the City,
for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the Tax-Exempt Obligations, setting forth (i) the
reasonable expectations of the City regarding the amount and use of all the proceeds of the Tax-
Exempt Obligations; (ii) the facts, circumstances and estimates on which the City’s expectations
are based; and (iii) other facts and circumstances relevant to the tax treatment of interest on the
Tax-Exempt Obligations.
The City covenants (a) that it will take or cause to be taken such actions which may
be required of it for the interest on the Tax-Exempt Obligations to be and remain excluded from
gross income for federal income tax purposes, (b) that it will not take or authorize to be taken any
actions which would adversely affect that exclusion and (c) that it, or persons acting for it, will,
among other acts of compliance; (i) apply the proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Obligations to the
governmental purpose of the borrowing; (ii) restrict the yield on investment property; (iii) make
timely and adequate payments to the federal government; (iv) maintain books and records and
make calculations and reports; and (v) refrain from certain uses of those proceeds and, as
applicable, of property financed with such proceeds, all in such manner and to the extent necessary
to assure such exclusion of that interest under the Code.  An Authorized Officer, and other
appropriate city officers are hereby authorized and directed to take any and all such actions, make
calculations and rebate payments, and make or give such reports and certifications, as may be
appropriate to assure such exclusion of that interest.
SECTION 12.  If any section, paragraph, clause or provision of this Ordinance shall
for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such
section, paragraph, clause or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this
Ordinance.
SECTION 13.  All orders and Ordinances or parts thereof inconsistent herewith are
hereby waived to the extent only of such inconsistency.  This waiver shall not be construed as
reviving any order or Ordinance or any part thereof.
EMERGENCY CLAUSE
SECTION 14.  The immediate operation of the provisions of this Ordinance is
necessary for the public peace, health, and safety of the residents and citizens of the City for the
reason that the obligations herein authorized must be sold at the earliest possible time in order to
obtain the most advantageous interest rate; an emergency is, therefore, declared to exist, and this

ACTIVE 694503445v3
-7-
Ordinance shall be in full force and effect immediately upon its passage and adoption by the Mayor
and Council of the City, and it is hereby exempt from the referendum provisions of the Constitution
and laws of the State.
