Section 17 COVENANTS REGARDING TAX EXEMPTION OF
INTEREST ON THE BONDS (a) With respect to the Contractual
Obligations and the facilities financed or refinanced
therewith, either the "Trade or Business Test" or the
"Security Interest Test" is not met, or both such tests are
not met
(1) Trade or Business Test The Trade or
Business Test is met if more than 10 percent of the
proceeds are to be used (directly or indirectly) for
any "private business use" by any person other than a
governmental unit
(2) Security Interest Test The Security
Interest Test is met if the payment of the principal
of, or the interest on, more than 10 percent of the
proceeds of the Contractual Obligations is (under the
terms of the Contractual Obligations or any underlying
arrangement) directly or indirectly-
(A) secured by any interest in -
(i) property used or to be used for a
private business use, or
(ii) payments in respect of such pro-
perty, or
(B) to be derived from payments (whether or
not to the Issuer) in respect of property, or
borrowed money, used or to be used for a private
business use
The term "private business use" means use (directly or
indirectly) in a trade or business carried on by a person
other than a governmental unit For purposes of the pre-
ceding sentence, use as a member of the general public shall
not be taken into account and any activity carried on by a
natural person shall not be taken into account All
17
activities of section 501(c)(3) organizations, the Federal
Government (including its agencies and instrumentalities),
and other nongovernmental persons who are not natural
persons are treated as trade or business activities
(b) For purposes of the trade or business test, a
person may be a user of bond proceeds and bond-financed
property as a result of (1) ownership or (2) actual or
beneficial use of property pursuant to a lease, a management
or incentive payment contract, or (3) any other arrangement
such as a take-or-pay or other output-type contract Use on
the same basis as the general public (including use as an
industrial customer) is not taken into account However,
trade or business use by all persons on a basis different
from the general public is aggregated in determining if the
10 percent limit is met
(c) For purposes of the trade or business test, use
pursuant to management contracts not exceeding five years
(including renewal options) is not treated as private
business use if -
(1) at least 50 percent of the compensation to
any manager other than a governmental unit is on a
periodic, fixed-fee basis,
(2) no amount of compensation is based on a share
of net profits, and
(3) the governmental unit owning the facility may
terminate the contract (without penalty) at the end of
any three year period
(d) For purposes of the security interest test, both
direct and indirect payments made by any person (other than
a governmental unit) who is treated as using the proceeds of
the Contractual Obligations are counted Such payments are
counted whether or not they are formally pledged as security
or are directly used to pay debt service on the Contractual
Obligations Similarly, payments to persons other than the
Issuer may be considered Revenues from generally appli-
cable taxes are not treated as payments for purposes of the
security interest test, however, special charges imposed on
persons satisfying the use test (but not on members of the
public generally) are so treated if the charges are in
substance fees paid for the use of bond proceeds
(e) No more than 5 percent of the proceeds of the
Contractual Obligations will be used for any private
business use test that is not related to any governmental
use of such proceeds For this purpose, the term "related"
means a use f.or a facility that is located within or
adjacent to any governmental facility to which it is
related
18
(f) No more than 5 percent of the proceeds of the
Contractual Obligations will be used for any private busi-
ness use that is disproportionate to the amount of such
proceeds used for a related governmental use The deter-
mination of whether a private use which is related to a
government use also being financed with the bond proceeds is
disproportionate to the government use to which such private
use relates is determined by comparing the amount of bond
proceeds used for the related private and government uses
The related private use is disproportionate to the related
government use to the extent it exceeds such use in amount
Multiple, related private use facilities for any government
use are treated as one facility for purposes of this rule
(g) The trade or business test and security interest
test are deemed to be met where 5 percent or more of the
proceeds of the Contractual Obligations are used with
respect to any output facility (other than a facility for
the furnishing of water) and the amount of proceeds so used
exceeds the excess of -
(1) $15 million, over
(2) the aggregate amount of proceeds with respect
to all prior tax-exempt issues 5 percent or more of the
proceeds of which are or will be used with respect to
such output facility (or any other facility which is
part of the same project)
There shall not be taken into account under subparagraph (2)
above any bond which is not outstanding at the time of the
later issue or which is to be redeemed (other than in an
advance refunding) from the net proceeds of the later issue
(h) The amount of proceeds of the Contractual
Obligations which are to be used (directly or indirectly) to
make or finance loans to persons other than governmental
units will not exceed the lesser of (i) 5 percent of such
proceeds or (ii ) $5 million
(i) The Issuer will not take any action which would
adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation
of the interest paid on the Contractual Obligations,
including without limitation any action that would permit
any of the Contractual Obligations to be treated as "private
activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the
Code, or as "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of
section 149(b) of the Code, and will take, or require to be
taken, such acts as may be reasonably within its ability and
as may from time to time be required under applicable law or
regulation to continue to exempt from federal income taxa-
tion the interest on the Contractual Obligations, including
the preparation and filing of any statements or information
reports required to be filed by the Issuer in order to
19
maintain the tax-exempt status of the interest on the
Contractual Obligations
(j) The Issuer has not taken, has no present intention
of taking any action and knows of no action taken or in-
tended which would cause interest on the Contractual Obliga-
tions to be includable in the gross income of any bondhold-
ers for federal income tax purposes
Section 18 COVENANTS REGARDING ARBITRAGE (a) A
Rebate Fund is hereby established by the Issuer Such Fund
shall be for the sole. benefit of the United States of
America and shall not be subject to the claim of any other
person, including without limitation the bondholders The
Rebate Fund is established for the purpose of compliance
with section 148 of the Code
(b) At the close of each "Bond Year", the Issuer shall
compute the amount of "Excess Earnings", if any, for the
period beginning on the date of delivery of the Contractual
Obligations and ending at the close of such "Bond Year" and
transfer an amount equal to the difference, if any, between
the amount then in the Rebate Fund and the Excess Earnings
so computed The term "Bond Year" means with respect to the
Contractual Obligations each one-year period ending on the
anniversary of the date of delivery of the Contractual
Obligations If, at the close of any Bond Year, the amount
in the Rebate Fund exceeds the amount that would be required
to be paid to the United States of America under paragraph
(d) below if the Contractual Obligations had been paid in
full, such excess may be transferred from the Rebate Fund
and paid to the Issuer to be used for such purposes for
which, or to be redeposited to such fund or account of the
Issuer from which, such amounts were originally derived
(c) In general, "Excess Earnings" for any period of
time means the sum of
( i ) the excess of --
(A) the aggregate amount earned during such
period of time on all "Nonpurpose Obligations"
(including gains on the disposition of such
Obligations) in which "Gross Proceeds" of the
issue are invested (other than amounts attribut-
able to an excess described in this subparagraph
(c)(i)), over
(B) the amount that would have been earned
during such period of time if the "Yield" on such
Nonpurpose Obligations (other than amounts attrib-
utable to an excess described in this subparagraph
(c)(i)) had been equal to the yield on the issue,
plus
20
(ii) any income during such period of time attrib-
utable to the excess described in subparagraph (c)(i)
above
"Excess Earnings" will not include amounts, if any, which
need not be taken into account under the special rules of
section 148(f)(4)(A) and (B) of the Code relating to bona
fide debt service funds and the six-month temporary invest-
ment period The terms "Nonpurpose Obligations", "Gross
Proceeds" and "Yield" shall have the meanings-prescribed by
section 148 of the Code and shall be applied in the manner
prescribed in such section

America at least once every five years an amount that
ensures that at least 90 percent of the Excess Earnings from
the date. of delivery of the Contractual Obligations to the
close of the period for which the payment is being made will
have been paid The Issuer shall pay to the United States

Obligations have been paid in full 100 percent of the amount
then required to be paid under section 148(f) of the Code as
a result of Excess Earnings
(e) The Issuer shall keep such records as will enable

section and section 148(f) of the Code and shall retain such

RECOPIMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance authorizing the
issuance of City of Fort Worth Public Property Finance Contractual Obligations ,
Series 1987 for the purpose of providing funds for the purpose of paying all or a
portion of contractual obligations to be incurred in connection with the
acquisition of personal property.
BACKGROUND
On June 30, 1987 the staff proposed to the City Council that the City issue
$848,948, plus fees, in Public Property Finance Contractual Obligations to
purchase seventy-four vehicles for the Police Department as replacements for
leased vehicles. This new financing instrument was proposed as it offered an
expected savings of approximately 1 1/2qo in interest rate compared with
lease/purchase proposals received by the City. Subsequent t o this presentation,
the Finance Department has reviewed a planned lease/purchase of a disc storage
device for the Data Processing Department and concluded that the issuance of an
additional $122;568 of Public Property Finance Contractual Obligations would
achieve an approximate savings of 2 1 /2~ i n interest rate. The M&C to purchase
the disc st oraye device will be presented to Council at a future Council meeting
but the financiny requires approval at this time so that the purchase price may
be included in this debt issuance at no additional fee.
