redemption to the registered owner of the Bond or Bonds being redeemed at the address shown on 
the registration books for the Bonds maintained by the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent.  Failure

Agent, interest on such Bonds or such portions thereof shall cease to accrue, such Bonds or such 
portions thereof shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security hereunder, the registered owners 
of such Bonds or such portions thereof shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive 
payment of the redemption price thereof and accrued interest thereon and such Bonds or such 
portions thereof shall be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.
(c)
The City may redeem any amount which is included in a Bond in 
the denomination in excess of, but divisible by, $5,000.  In that event, the registered owner shall 
submit the Bond for partial redemption and the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall make such 
partial payment and shall cause to be issued a new Bond in a principal amount which reflects the 
redemption so made, to be authenticated and delivered to the registered owner thereof.
Section 3.  Security; Defeasance.
(a)
After the Bonds are issued, the Council shall enter on its minutes a 
record of the Bonds sold and their numbers and dates.  For the purpose of paying the principal of, 
interest on and costs of administration of the registration and payment of the Bonds, there shall be 
levied on all the taxable property in the City a continuing, direct, annual, ad valorem tax sufficient 
to pay all such principal, interest and administration costs of and on the Bonds as the same become 
due, such taxes to be levied, assessed and collected at the same time and in the same manner as 
other taxes of the City are levied, assessed and collected; provided, however, that the total 
aggregate of taxes levied to pay principal and interest on the Refunding Bonds in the aggregate 
shall not exceed the total aggregate principal and interest to become due on the Bonds Being 
Refunded from the date of issuance of the Refunding Bonds to the final date of maturity of the 
Bonds Being Refunded.  Subject to such limitation as to the Refunding Bonds (but without 
limitation as to the New Money Bonds), the tax shall be extended and collected for the City, and 
the officials of the City and Maricopa County, Arizona, charged with the annual extension and 
collection of taxes, without further instructions from the Council, shall extend and collect the tax 
upon issuance of the Bonds.  All moneys collected through such tax shall be paid into the treasury 
of the City, to the credit of a “Debt Service Fund” of the City for the Bonds, from which fund the 
Bonds shall be payable, which funds shall be kept separate and apart from and not commingled

5
Ordinance No. O2026.15
with any other funds or moneys and which shall be used solely for, respectively, payment of 
interest on and principal of, and premium, if any, on the Bonds.
(b)
As provided in Section 4(b) hereof, the net proceeds of the sale of 
the Refunding Bonds shall be deposited in the hereinafter defined Trust or invested in obligations 
issued by or guaranteed by the United States government (“Government Obligations”), so long as 
such Government Obligations shall mature with interest so as to provide funds to pay at maturity 
or upon earlier redemption the Bonds Being Refunded together with interest thereon and 
redemption premiums, if any, and such proceeds or Government Obligations shall, and other funds 
legally available for such purpose as determined by the City may, be deposited in respective 
principal and interest redemption funds and shall be held in trust (the “Trust”) by the bond registrar 
and paying agent for the Bonds Being Refunded or by the hereinafter defined Escrow Trustee for 
the payment of the Bonds Being Refunded with interest and redemption premiums, if any, at 
maturity or upon redemption.  The owners of the Refunding Bonds shall rely upon the sufficiency 
of the funds or Government Obligations held in the Trust for the payment of the Bonds Being 
Refunded.  The issuance of the Refunding Bonds shall in no way infringe upon the rights of the 
owners of the Bonds Being Refunded to rely upon a tax levy for the payment of principal and 
interest on the Bonds Being Refunded if the moneys or investments in the Trust prove insufficient.
(c)
Any Bond or portion thereof in authorized denominations shall be 
deemed paid and defeased and thereafter shall have no claim on ad valorem taxes levied on taxable 
property in the City (i) if there is deposited with a bank or comparable financial institution, in trust, 
moneys or obligations issued by or guaranteed by the United States government (“Defeasance 
Obligations”) or both which, with the maturing principal of and interest on such Defeasance 
Obligations, if any, will be sufficient, as evidenced by a certificate or report of an accountant, to 
pay the principal of and interest and any premium on such Bond or portion thereof as the same 
matures, comes due or becomes payable upon prior redemption, and (ii) if such defeased Bond or 
portion thereof is to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been given in accordance with 
provisions hereof or the City has submitted to the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent instructions 
expressed to be irrevocable as to the date upon which such Bond or portion thereof is to be 
redeemed and as to the giving of notice of such redemption.  If the maturing principal of the 
Defeasance Obligations or other moneys, or both, is sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if 
any, and interest on such Bond or portion thereof as the same matures, comes due or becomes 
payable upon prior redemption, a certificate or report of an accountant shall not be required.  Bonds 
the payment of which has been provided for in accordance with this Section shall no longer be 
deemed payable or outstanding hereunder and thereafter such Bonds shall be entitled to payment 
only from the moneys or Defeasance Obligations deposited to provide for the payment of such 
Bonds.
Section 4.  Use of Proceeds.  
(a)
Proceeds of the sale of the New Money Bonds shall be deposited in 
the treasury of the City to the credit of various capital improvement project funds in the amounts 
determined as provided in Section 1(a)(2) hereof, to be used solely for the purposes specified in 
the ballot questions submitted to the qualified electors of the City at the Elections; provided, 
however, that (i) such proceeds may be invested in the manner and under the circumstances

6
Ordinance No. O2026.15
allowed by law, and (ii) any moneys remaining after such purposes shall have been accomplished 
shall be transferred to the Debt Service Fund in the same fashion as taxes for payment of debt 
service with respect to the New Money Bonds.
(b)
Proceeds of the sale of the Refunding Bonds shall be applied, along 
with the moneys, if any, determined by the City, to be transferred from the interest and redemption 
funds for the Bonds Being Refunded, to create the Trust, which shall be an irrevocable trust for 
the benefit of the owners of the Refunding Bonds.  As provided in Section 3(b) hereof, amounts 
credited to the Trust, other than any beginning cash balance, may, as determined by the City, be 
invested immediately in Government Obligations, the maturing principal of and interest on which, 
together with any beginning cash balance, are to be sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, 
if any, and interest on the Bonds Being Refunded as the same become due.  Any balance of the net 
proceeds of the Refunding Bonds remaining after creation of the Trust shall be transferred to the 
Debt Service Fund in the same fashion as taxes for payment of debt service with respect to the 
Refunding Bonds.

Section 11.  General Federal Tax Law Covenants.
(a)
(1)
The City shall execute and deliver on the date of original 
issuance of the Bonds a Certificate Relating To Federal Tax Matters (the “Tax Certificate”) and 
comply with the provisions thereof and of this Section 11 only with respect to those of the Bonds 
that are sold such that the interest income with respect thereto is excluded from gross income for 
federal income tax purposes.  References to the Bonds in this Section 11 are to such Bonds.  As 
will be provided in greater detail in the Tax Certificate, the City shall not make or direct the making 
of any investment or other use of the proceeds of any Bonds which would cause such Bonds to be 
“arbitrage bonds” as that term is defined in Section 148 (or any successor provision thereto) of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or “private activity bonds” as that term 
is defined in Section 141 (or any successor provision thereto) of the Code, and shall comply with 
the requirements of the Code sections and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the 
“Regulations”) throughout the term of the Bonds.  In consideration of the purchase and acceptance 
of the Bonds by such holders from time to time and of retaining such exclusion and as authorized 
by Title 35, Chapter 3, Article 7, Arizona Revised Statutes, the Council covenants, and the 
appropriate officials of the City are hereby directed, to take all action required to maintain such 
exclusion or to refrain from taking any action prohibited by the Code which would adversely affect 
in any respect such exclusion.
(2)
The City shall be the owner of the facilities financed or 
refinanced with the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds (the “Facilities”) for federal income tax 
purposes.  Except as otherwise advised in a Bond Counsel’s Opinion (as defined herein), the City 
shall not enter into (i) any management or service contract with any entity other than a 
governmental entity for the operation of any portion of the Facilities unless the management or 
service contract complies with the requirements of the Code, the Regulations and any applicable 
interpretive guidance with respect thereto as may control at the time, or (ii) any lease or other 
arrangement with any entity other than a governmental entity that gives such entity special legal 
entitlements with respect to any portion of the Facilities.  Also, the payment of principal and 
interest with respect to the Bonds shall not be guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the United States 
or any agency or instrumentality of the United States.  The proceeds of the Bonds, or amounts

12
Ordinance No. O2026.15
treated as proceeds of the Bonds, shall not be invested (directly or indirectly) in federally insured 
deposits or accounts, except to the extent such proceeds (i) may be so invested for an initial 
temporary period until needed for the purpose for which the Bonds are being issued, (ii) may be 
so used in making investments of a bona fide debt service fund or (iii) may be invested in 
obligations issued by the United States Treasury. 
(3)
The procedures and covenants contained in any arbitrage 
rebate provision or separate agreement executed in connection with the issuance of the Bonds 
(initially Section 12 hereof) shall be complied with for so long as compliance is necessary in order 
to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the 
Bonds.
(b)
(1)
The City shall take all necessary and desirable steps, as 
determined by the Council, to comply with the requirements hereunder in order to ensure that 
interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under the 
Code; provided, however, compliance with any such requirement shall not be required in the event 
the City receives a Bond Counsel’s Opinion that either (i) compliance with such requirement is 
not required to maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds, or 
(ii) compliance with some other requirement will meet the requirements of the Code.  In the event 
the City receives such a Bond Counsel’s Opinion, this Ordinance shall be amended to conform to 
the requirements set forth in such opinion.
(2)
If for any reason any requirement hereunder is not complied 
with, the Council shall take all necessary and desirable steps, as determined by the City, to correct 
such noncompliance within a reasonable period of time after such noncompliance is discovered or 
should have been discovered with the exercise of reasonable diligence and the City shall pay any 
required interest or penalty under Regulations Section 1.148-3(h).
(c)
The City has adopted post-issuance tax compliance procedures, with 
which the City shall comply.
Section 12.  Arbitrage Rebate Covenants.  The City shall comply with the 
provisions of this Section 12 only with respect to those of the Bonds that are sold such that the 
interest income with respect thereto is excluded from gross income for federal income tax 
purposes.  References to the Bonds in this Section 12 are to such Bonds.
(a)
Terms not otherwise defined in Subsection (b) hereof shall have the

firm of attorneys of nationally recognized standing in the field of law relating to municipal bonds 
selected by the City.
“Bond Year” shall mean each one-year period beginning on the day after 
the expiration of the preceding Bond Year.  The first Bond Year shall begin on the date of issue of

13
Ordinance No. O2026.15
the Bonds and shall end on the date selected by the City, provided that the first Bond Year shall 
not exceed one calendar year.  The last Bond Year shall end on the date of retirement of the last 
Bond.
“Bond Yield” is as indicated in the Tax Certificate.  Bond Yield shall be 
recomputed if required by Regulations Section 1.148-4(b)(4) or 4(h)(3).  Bond Yield shall mean 
the discount rate that produces a present value equal to the Issue Price of all unconditionally 
payable payments of principal, interest and fees for qualified guarantees within the meaning of 
Regulations Section 1.148-4(f) and amounts reasonably expected to be paid as fees for qualified 
guarantees in connection with the Bonds as determined under Regulations Section 1.148-4(b).  The 
present value of all such payments shall be computed as of the date of issue of the Bonds and using 
semiannual compounding on the basis of a 360-day year.
“Gross Proceeds” shall mean:
(i)
any amounts actually or constructively received by the City 
from the sale of the Bonds but excluding amounts used to pay accrued interest on the Bonds within 
one year of the date of issuance of the Bonds;

1.148-9;

Regulations Section 1.148-1(c).  Replacement proceeds include amounts reasonably expected to

reasonable assurance that such amounts will be available to pay principal or interest on the Bonds 
in the event the City encounters financial difficulties and other replacement proceeds within the 
meaning of Regulations Section 1.148-1(c)(4).  Whether an amount is Gross Proceeds is 
determined without regard to whether the amount is held in any fund or account.
“Investment Property” shall mean any security, obligation (other than a tax-
exempt bond within the meaning of Code Section 148(b)(3)(A)), annuity contract or investment-
type property within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.148-1(b).

14
Ordinance No. O2026.15
“Rebate Requirement” shall mean at any time the excess of the future value 
of all Receipts over the future value of all Payments.  For purposes of calculating the Rebate 
Requirement the Bond Yield shall be used to determine the future value of Receipts and Payments 
in accordance with Regulations Section 1.148-3(c).  The Rebate Requirement is zero for any 
Nonpurpose Investment meeting the requirements of a rebate exception under Section 148(f)(4) of 
the Code or Regulations Section 1.148-7.
“Receipt” shall mean any receipt within the meaning of Regulations Section 
1.148-3(d)(2) with respect to a Nonpurpose Investment.

The City shall cause the Rebate Requirement to be calculated and 
shall pay to the United States of America:
(1)
not later than 60 days after the end of the fifth Bond Year 
and every fifth Bond Year thereafter, an amount which, when added to the 
future value of all previous rebate payments with respect to the Bonds 
(determined as of such Computation Date), is equal to at least 90% of the 
sum of the Rebate Requirement (determined as of the last day of such Bond 
Year) plus the future value of all previous rebate payments with respect to 
the Bonds (determined as of the last day of such Bond Year); and
(2)
not later than 60 days after the retirement of the last Bond, 
an amount equal to 100% of the Rebate Requirement (determined as of the 
date of retirement of the last Bond).
Each payment required to be made under this Section shall be filed with the Internal Revenue 
Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201, on or before the date such payment is due, and shall be 
accompanied by IRS Form 8038-T.
(d)
No Nonpurpose Investment shall be acquired for an amount in 
excess of its fair market value.  No Nonpurpose Investment shall be sold or otherwise disposed of 
for an amount less than its fair market value.
(e)
For purposes of Subsection (d), whether a Nonpurpose Investment 
has been purchased or sold or disposed of for its fair market value shall be determined as follows:
(1)
The fair market value of a Nonpurpose Investment generally 
shall be the price at which a willing buyer would purchase the Nonpurpose 
Investment from a willing seller in a bona fide arm’s length transaction.  Fair market 
value shall be determined on the date on which a contract to purchase or sell the 
Nonpurpose Investment becomes binding.

15
Ordinance No. O2026.15
(2)
Except as provided in Subsection (f) or (g), a Nonpurpose 
Investment that is not of a type traded on an established securities market, within 
the meaning of Code Section 1273, is rebuttably presumed to be acquired or 
disposed of for a price that is not equal to its fair market value.
(3)
If a United States Treasury obligation is acquired directly 
from or sold or disposed of directly to the United States Treasury, such acquisition 
or sale or disposition shall be treated as establishing the fair market value of the 
obligation.
(f)
The purchase price of a certificate of deposit that has a fixed interest 
rate, a fixed payment schedule and a substantial penalty for early withdrawal is considered to be 
its fair market value if the yield on the certificate of deposit is not less than:
(1)
the yield on reasonably comparable direct obligations of the 
United States; and
(2)
the highest yield that is published or posted by the provider 
to be currently available from the provider on reasonably comparable certificates 
of deposit offered to the public.
(g)
A guaranteed investment contract shall be considered acquired and 
disposed of for an amount equal to its fair market value if:
(1)
A bona fide solicitation in writing for a specified guaranteed 
investment contract, including all material terms, is timely forwarded to all 
potential providers.  The solicitation must include a statement that the submission 
of a bid is a representation that the potential provider did not consult with any other 
potential provider about its bid, that the bid was determined without regard to any 
other formal or informal agreement that the potential provider has with the City or 
any other person (whether or not in connection with the Bonds), and that the bid is 
not being submitted solely as a courtesy to the City or any other person for purposes 
of satisfying the requirements in the Regulations that the City receive bids from at 
least one reasonably competitive provider and at least three providers that do not 
have a material financial interest in the Bonds.
(2)
All potential providers have an equal opportunity to bid, with 
no potential provider having the opportunity to review other bids before providing 
a bid.
(3)
At least three reasonably competitive providers (i.e. having 
an established industry reputation as a competitive provider of the type of 
investments being purchased) are solicited for bids.  At least three bids must be 
received from providers that have no material financial interest in the Bonds (e.g., 
a lead underwriter within 15 days of the issue date of the Bonds or a financial 
advisor with respect to the investment) and at least one of such three bids must be

16
Ordinance No. O2026.15
from a reasonably competitive provider.  If the City uses an agent to conduct the 
bidding, the agent may not bid.
(4)
The highest-yielding guaranteed investment contract for 
which a qualifying bid is made (determined net of broker’s fees) is purchased.
(5)
The determination of the terms of the guaranteed investment 
contract takes into account as a significant factor the reasonably expected deposit 
and drawdown schedule for the amounts to be invested.
(6)
The terms for the guaranteed investment contract are 
commercially reasonable (i.e. have a legitimate business purpose other than to 
increase the purchase price or reduce the yield of the guaranteed investment 
contract).
(7)
The provider of the investment contract certifies the 
administrative costs (as defined in Regulations Section 1.148-5(e)) that it pays (or 
expects to pay) to third parties in connection with the guaranteed investment 
contract.
(8)
The City retains until three years after the last outstanding 
Bond is retired, (i) a copy of the guaranteed investment contract, (ii) a receipt or 
other record of the amount actually paid for the guaranteed investment contract, 
including any administrative costs paid by the City and a copy of the provider’s 
certification described in (7) above, (iii) the name of the person and entity 
submitting each bid, the time and date of the bid, and the bid results and (iv) the bid 
solicitation form and, if the terms of the guaranteed investment contract deviates 
from the bid solicitation form or a submitted bid is modified, a brief statement 
explaining the deviation and stating the purpose of the deviation.
(h)
The employment of such experts and consultants to make, as 
necessary, any calculations in respect of rebates to be made to the United States of America in 
accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code is hereby authorized.
Section 13.  Ordinance a Contract; Severability; Ratification of Actions.
(a)
This Ordinance shall constitute a contract between the City and the 
registered owners of the Bonds and shall not be repealed or amended in any manner which would 
impair, impede or lessen the rights of the registered owners of the Bonds then outstanding.
(b)
If any section, paragraph, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase of 
this Ordinance is for any reason held to be illegal or unenforceable, such decision will not affect 
the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.  The Council hereby declares that it would 
have adopted this Ordinance and each and every other section, paragraph, subdivision, sentence, 
clause or phrase hereof and authorized the issuance of the Bonds, pursuant hereto irrespective of 
the fact that any one or more sections, paragraphs, subdivisions, sentences, clauses or phrases of 
this Ordinance may be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable.

17
Ordinance No. O2026.15
(c)
All actions of the officers, employees and agents of the City 
including the Council which conform to the purposes and intent of this Ordinance and which 
further the sale and issuance of the Bonds as contemplated by this Ordinance, including retention 
of consultants and counsel necessary to carry out the purposes of this Ordinance, whether taken 
before or after adoption of this Ordinance, are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved.  The proper 
officers and agents of the City are hereby authorized and directed to do all such acts and things 
and to execute and deliver all such documents on behalf of the City as may be necessary to carry 
out the terms and intent of this Ordinance.
(d)
All acts and conditions necessary to be performed by the City or to 
have been met precedent to and in the issuing of the Bonds in order to make them legal, valid and 
binding general obligations of the City will at the time of delivery of the Bonds have been 
performed and have been met, in regular and due form as required by law, and no statutory, charter 
or constitutional limitation of indebtedness or taxation will have been exceeded in the issuance of 
the Bonds.
(e)
All formal actions of the Council concerning and relating to the 
passage of this Ordinance were taken in an open meeting of the Council, and all deliberations of 
the Council and of any committees that resulted in those formal actions were in meetings open to 
the public, in compliance with all legal requirements.

interest on such Defeasance Obligations, if any, will be sufficient, as evidenced by a certificate or 
report of an accountant, to pay the principal or redemption price of and interest on such Bonds.  
Any Bonds so provided for will no longer be outstanding under the Ordinance or payable from ad 
valorem taxes on taxable property in the City, and the owners of such Bonds shall thereafter be

duly adopted prior to the issuance hereof, all of the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein 
(the “Ordinance”), and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of Arizona relative to the 
sale and issuance of general obligation refunding bonds of municipalities, and all amendments 
thereto, and all other laws of the State of Arizona thereunto enabling.
For the purpose of paying the principal of, interest on and costs of administration 
of the registration and payment of this Bond, there shall be levied on all taxable property in the 
City a continuing, direct, annual, ad valorem tax sufficient to pay all such principal, interest and 
administration costs of and on this Bond as the same become due, such taxes to be levied, assessed 
and collected at the same time and in the same manner as other taxes of the City are levied, assessed 
and collected; provided, however, that the issuance of the Bonds shall in no way infringe upon the 
rights of the Bonds Being Refunded to rely upon a tax levy for payment of the principal and interest 
on the Bonds Being Refunded if the obligations issued by or guaranteed by the United States 
government in which net proceeds of the Bonds are invested and which mature with interest so as 
to provide funds to pay when due, or called for redemption, the Bonds Being Refunded together 
with interest thereon and redemption premiums, if any, and with other funds legally available for 
such purpose as determined by the City deposited in the respective principal and interest 
redemption funds and held in trust for the payment of the Bonds Being Refunded with interest and 
redemption premiums, if any, on maturity or upon an available redemption date prove insufficient 
and further that the total aggregate of taxes levied to pay principal and interest on the Bonds in the 
aggregate shall not exceed the total aggregate principal and interest to become due on the Bonds 
Being Refunded from the date of issuance of the Bonds to the final date of maturity of the Bonds 
Being Refunded.  The owners of the Bonds must rely on the sufficiency of the funds and securities 
held irrevocably in trust for payment of the Bonds Being Refunded.

report of an accountant, to pay the principal or redemption price of and interest on such Bonds.
