below delegated to the City Manager and the Chief Financial Officer/Director of Financial
Management Services of the City, and to address changes in law since the adoption of Ordinance
2302942-2017, as amended and restated by Ordinance 23176-04-2018 (referred to herein as the

WHEREAS, the City Council delegates to the City Manager and the Chief Financial
Officer/Director of Financial Management Services of the City, individually, but not collectively
(each, an "Authorized Representative") the authority to effect the sale of Bonds, subject to the
parameters described in this Thirty -Second Supplement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS:
Section 1. DEFINITIONS. That in addition to the definitions set forth in the preamble of
this Thirty -Second Supplement, the terms used in this Thirty -Second Supplement (except in the
FORM OF BOND) and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given in the Master
Ordinance, the Prior Supplements or in Exhibit A to this Thirty -Second Supplement. Any
3
references in this Thirty -Second Supplement to the "FORM OF BOND" shall be to the form of
the Bonds as set forth in Exhibit B to this Thirty -Second Supplement.
Section 2. BONDS AUTHORIZED. (a) Bonds. That there shall be authorized to be
issued, sold, and delivered hereunder the Bonds, in one or more series, payable to the respective
initial registered owners thereof, or to the registered assignee or assignees of the Bonds or any
portion or portions thereof, in an Authorized Denomination. The Bonds are hereby authorized to
be issued, in one or more series, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150,000,000,
for the purpose of (i) refunding outstanding Commercial Paper Notes and (ii) paying the costs of
issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be designated as the "City of Fort Worth, Texas
Water and Sewer System Revenue Refunding Bonds", with such additional or different
designation or title as permitted by Section 3(b) of this Thirty -Second Supplement. The Bonds
are authorized pursuant to Chapter 1207 and other applicable laws of the State of Texas. The
City Council hereby finds that it is in the best interests of the City for the Bonds to be sold in
such manner as determined by an Authorized Representative in manner provided in this Thirty -
Second Supplement. By adoption of this Thirty -Second Supplement, the Chief Financial
Officer/Director of Financial Management Services of the City, as an Authorized Representative,
is designated as a special Acting Assistant City Manager for the limited purposes of executing
certificates, agreements, notices, instruction letters, requisitions, and other documents on behalf
of the City in accordance with this Thirty -Second Supplement.
(b) Refunding. That the City hereby finds that the issuance of Bonds for the purpose of
refunding Commercial Paper Notes is a public purpose. The Refunded Commercial Paper Notes
are being refunded to convert interim financing into long-term fixed rate financing, as
contemplated by the City in the operation of the interim financing program for the System, and
the manner in which the refunding of the Refunded Commercial Paper Notes is being executed
by the City makes it impracticable to make the determinations required by subsection (a) of
Section 1207.008, Texas Government Code. The Refunded Commercial Paper Notes shall be
those outstanding Commercial Paper Notes to be refunded and retired with a portion of the
proceeds of the Bonds, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150,000,000 in principal
amount, as designated in a letter of instructions delivered by the Chief Financial Officer/Director
of Financial Management Services of the City. For the sole purpose of establishing for the
benefit of the Public Finance Division of the Office of the Attorney General of Texas that the
City possesses sufficient Pledged Revenues to pay the Commercial Paper Notes and the interest
thereon, the City shall establish sufficiency through the issuance of bonds on a parity with the
Bonds under authority of Chapter 1207 at then current market interest rates with level debt
service over a forty (40) year period to refinance such Commercial Paper Notes, under authority
of Section 1371.057(c), Texas Government Code.
Section 3. DELEGATION OF SALE OF BONDS; PARAMETERS. (a) Terms of
Bonds. That initially there shall be issued, sold, and delivered hereunder fully registered bonds,
without interest coupons, in one or more series, payable to the respective initial registered
owners thereof, or to the registered assignee or assignees of said bonds or any portion or portions
thereof (in each case, the "Registered Owner"), in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof (an "Authorized Denomination"), maturing not later than February 15, 2050,
serially or otherwise on the dates, in the years and in the principal amounts, respectively, and
dated, all as shall be determined and established in accordance with this Thirty -Second
Supplement. The City Council hereby affirmatively waives the provision in its "Financial
Management Policy Statements — Chapter V - Debt" specifying that the average life of revenue
4
bonds issued by the City will be no greater than approximately seventeen to eighteen years. The
City Council finds that permitting the Bonds to have a maturity of not later than February 15,
2050, is consistent with the useful lives of the facilities authorized to be refinanced with the
proceeds of Bonds and the revenue -generating capability of such facilities.
(b) Sale of Bonds. (i) Method of Sale. As authorized by Section 1207.007, Texas
Government Code, each Authorized Representative is hereby authorized to effect the sale of all
or any of the Bonds authorized to be sold by this Thirty -Second Supplement, whether by

Representative, acting for and on behalf of the City, relating to the method of and the terms and
conditions relating to the sale of Bonds pursuant to this Thirty -Second Supplement shall have the
same force and effect as if such determination were made by the City. In effecting the sale of the
Bonds authorized to be sold by this Thirty -Second Supplement, each Authorized Representative,
acting for and on behalf of the City, may determine any additional or different designation or
title by which any series of Bonds shall be known. Prior to the delivery of any Bonds authorized

Agreement shall be substantially in the form and substance previously approved by the City in
connection with the authorization of Previously Issued Parity Bonds, as shall be acceptable to the
Authorized Representative, including, without limitation, to contain such terms and conditions as
may be provided in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

Representative, acting for and on behalf of the City, is authorized to enter into and carry out a
Bond Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser of such Bonds, at such price, with and subject to
such terms as determined by an Authorized Representative, subject to the provisions of this
Thirty -Second Supplement. One Bond in the principal amount maturing on each maturity date

sold through a negotiated sale conducted either as a public underwriting or a private placement.
Should such Bonds be subject to redemption prior to their scheduled maturities, if less than all of

and the amounts to be redeemed and shall direct the Paying Agent/Registrar to call by lot Bonds,
or portions of Bonds, within a maturity and in the principal amounts for redemption; provided,

Bonds, in the case of Bonds sold through a competitive sale, or the applicable Bond Purchase
Agreement, in the case of Bonds sold through a negotiated sale conducted either as a public
underwriting or a private placement. The optional redemption of Bonds at the option of the City
may be made conditional upon the occurrence of certain events, as may be provided for in the

negotiated sale conducted either as a public underwriting or a private placement, provide for the
mandatory sinking fund redemption of the Bonds of any series, the terms and conditions
governing any mandatory sinking fund redemption and the payment of mandatory sinking fund
payments shall be set forth therein, and the FORM OF BOND shall be revised to reflect any
mandatory sinking fund redemption of such Bonds, to the extent provided in the Official Bid
Form accepted by an Authorized Representative as the best bid for such Bonds, in the case of
Bonds sold through a competitive sale, or the applicable Bond Purchase Agreement, in the case
of Bonds sold through a negotiated sale conducted either as a public underwriting or a private
placement.

Paying Agent/Registrar to provide written notice of such redemption be given to the registered
owner of each Bond or a portion thereof being called for redemption at least thirty (30) days
prior to the date fixed for such redemption by depositing such notice in the United States mail,

Registration Books of the Paying Agent/Registrar. By the date fixed for any such redemption
due provision shall be made by the City with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the
required redemption price for the Bonds or the portions thereof which are to be so redeemed. If
such notice of redemption is given, and if due provision for such payment is made, all as
provided above, the Bonds, or the portions thereof which are to be so redeemed, thereby
automatically shall be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, and shall not be regarded as
being outstanding except for the right of the owner to receive the redemption price from the
Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided for such payment. The Paying Agent/Registrar

portion thereof If a portion of any Bond shall be redeemed, a substitute Bond or Bonds having

portion thereof, will be issued to the owner upon the surrender thereof for cancellation, at the
expense of the City, all as provided in this Thirty -Second Supplement. The maturities of Bonds
to be called for redemption shall be determined by the City. The Bonds or portions to be
redeemed within each such maturity shall be selected by lot or other customary random method
selected by the Paying Agent/Registrar in accordance with any requirements of a securities
depository, if applicable (provided that a portion of a Bond may be redeemed only in an
8
Authorized Denomination). The City shall give written notice to the Paying Agent/Registrar of
any such redemption of Bonds at least sixty (60) calendar days (or such shorter period as is
acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar) prior to such redemption. Should an optional
redemption of Bonds be made conditional as permitted in subsection (a) of this Section, the
Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice of the cancellation of such optional redemption in the
manner provided in the Bonds of a series where a conditional redemption right has been reserved
to the City.

Bonds as set forth above, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall give notice of redemption of Bonds

date to the MSRB and to any national information service that disseminates redemption notices.
Any notice sent to the MSRB or such national information services shall be sent so that they are
received at least two (2) days prior to the general mailing or publication date of such notice. The

(ii) Each redemption notice, whether required in the FORM OF BOND or otherwise by
this Thirty -Second Supplement, shall contain a description of the Bonds to be redeemed
including the complete name of the Bonds, the series, the date of issue, the interest rate, the
maturity date, the CUSIP number, if any, the amounts called for redemption, the publication and

agent to keep such books or records and make such registrations of transfers, conversions and
exchanges under such reasonable regulations as the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar may

the City, to the extent permitted by law, or a bank, trust company, financial institution, or other
10
agency, as selected by the City. The City reserves the right to, and may, at its option, change the
Paying Agent/Registrar upon not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days written notice to
the Paying Agent/Registrar, to be effective not later than sixty (60) days prior to the next
principal or interest payment date after such notice. In the event that the entity at any time acting

resign or otherwise cease to act as such, the City covenants that promptly it will appoint a
competent and legally qualified entity to act as Paying Agent/Registrar under this Thirty -Second
Supplement. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar, the previous Paying
Agent/Registrar promptly shall transfer and deliver the Registration Books (or a copy thereof),

Agent/Registrar, the City promptly will cause a written notice thereof to be sent by the new
Paying Agent/Registrar to each owner of the Bonds, by United States mail, first-class postage

including the form of the Authentication Certificate, the form of Assignment, and the form of the

forth in Exhibit B, with such appropriate variations, omissions, or insertions as are permitted or
required by this Thirty -Second Supplement.

Bonds, and is hereby authorized to print on the Bonds an appropriate statement of insurance
furnished by a municipal bond insurance company providing municipal bond insurance, if any,
covering all or any part of the Bonds.
Section 7. ESTABLISHMENT OF FINANCING PROGRAM AND ISSUANCE OF
PARITY OBLIGATIONS. That by adoption of the Master Ordinance the City has established
the City of Fort Worth, Texas Water and Sewer System Revenue Financing Program for the
purpose of providing a financing structure for revenue supported indebtedness of the System.
The Master Ordinance is intended to establish a master plan under which revenue supported debt
of the System can be incurred. This Thirty -Second Supplement provides for the authorization,
issuance, sale, delivery, form, characteristics, provisions of payment and redemption, and
security of the Bonds of any series, and any such series of Bonds issued under authority of this
Thirty -Second Supplement shall constitute Parity Obligations. The Master Ordinance is
incorporated herein by reference and as such made a part hereof for all purposes, except to the
extent modified and supplemented hereby, and the Bonds are hereby declared to be Parity
Obligations under the Master Ordinance. The City hereby determines that it will have sufficient
funds to meet the financial obligations of the System, including sufficient Pledged Revenues to
satisfy the Annual Debt Service Requirements of the System and to meet all financial obligations
of the City relating to the System.
Section 8. PLEDGE. (a) Pledge of Pledged Revenues. That the Bonds are and shall be
secured by and payable from a first lien on and pledge of the Pledged Revenues; and the Pledged
11
Revenues are further pledged to the establishment and maintenance of the Debt Service Fund,
and to the Reserve Fund to the extent hereinafter provided. The Bonds are and will be secured
by and payable only from the Pledged Revenues, and are not secured by or payable from a
mortgage or deed of trust on any properties, whether real, personal, or mixed, constituting the
System.
(b) Perfection of Lien. Chapter 1208 applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge
A the Pledged Revenues granted by the City under subsection (a) of this Section, and such
pledge is therefore valid, effective, and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the
Bonds are Outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of the Pledged Revenues granted by the
City is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, then in order to preserve to the
registered owners of the Bonds the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the City
agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to
comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9 and enable a filing to perfect the security
interest in said pledge to occur.
Section 9. DEBT SERVICE FUND ACCOUNTS. That with respect to the Bonds no
special account need be established to facilitate the payment of debt service on the Bonds.
Section 10. RESERVE FUND. That no deposits shall be made to the credit of the
Reserve Fund, as provided in Section 12(b) of this Thirty -Second Supplement,
Section 11. INVESTMENTS. That to the extent a reserve fund for the Bonds is created
after their delivery, money in the Reserve Fund created under this Thirty -Second Supplement
shall not be invested in securities with an average aggregate weighted maturity of greater than
seven years. The value of the Reserve Fund, in addition to the annual determination described in
the Master Ordinance, shall be established at the time or times withdrawals are made therefrom.
Investments shall be sold promptly when necessary to prevent any default in connection with the
Bonds. Earnings derived from the investment of moneys on deposit in the various Funds and
Accounts shall be credited to the Fund or Account fiom which moneys used to acquire such
investment shall have come.
Section 12. FLOW OF FUNDS. That all monies in the System Fund not required for
paying Operating Expenses during each month shall be applied by the City, on or before the 1 Oth
Jay of the following month, commencing during the months and in the order of priority with
respect to the Funds and Accounts that such applications are hereinafter set forth in this Section.
(a) Debt Service Fund - To the credit of the Debt Service Fund, in the following order of
priority, to -wit:
(1) such amounts, deposited in approximately equal monthly installments,
commencing during the month in which a series of the Bonds is delivered, or the month
thereafter if delivery is made after the loth day thereof, as will be sufficient, together
with other amounts, if any, in the Debt Service Fund available for such purpose, to pay
the interest scheduled to come due on such Bonds on the next succeeding interest
payment date; and
(2) such amounts, deposited in approximately equal monthly installments,
commencing during the month which shall be the later to occur of, (i) the twelfth month
12
before the first maturity date of a series of the Bonds, or (ii) the month in which a series
of the Bonds is delivered, or the month thereafter if delivery is made after the loth day
thereof, as will be sufficient, together with other amounts, if any, in the Debt Service
Fund available for such purpose, to pay the principal (including mandatory sinking fund
redemption payments, if any) scheduled to mature or come due on such Bonds on the
next succeeding principal payment date or mandatory sinking fund redemption date, as
the case may be.
(b) Reserve Fund. Acting in accordance with the provisions of the Master Ordinance,
specifically, without limitation, Section 7 thereof, it is not necessary for the Bonds to be secured
by the Reserve Fund established for the benefit of the owners of Parity Obligations, and therefore
the City may, but shall not be required to, make deposits to the credit of the Reserve Fund with
respect to the Bonds of any series.
Section 13. PAYMENT OF BONDS. That on or before the first scheduled interest
payment date, and on or before each interest payment date and principal payment date thereafter
while any Bond is Outstanding and unpaid, the City shall make available to the Paying
Agent/Registrar, out of the Debt Service Fund (and the Reserve Fund, if necessary) monies
sufficient to pay such interest on and such principal amount of the Bonds, as shall become due on
such dates, respectively, at maturity or by redemption prior to maturity. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall destroy all paid Bonds and furnish the City with an appropriate certificate
of cancellation or destruction.
Section 14. COVENANTS REGARDING TAX -EXEMPTION. That the Issuer
covenants to refrain from any action which would adversely affect, or to take such action as to
ensure, the treatment of the Bonds as obligations described in section 103 of the Code, the
interest on which is not includable in the "gross income" of the holder for purposes of federal
income taxation. In furtherance thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows:
(a) to take any action to assure that no more than ten percent (10%) of the
proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced therewith (less amounts
deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business use", as defined in
section 141(b)(6) of the Code or, if more than ten percent (10%) of the proceeds are so
used, that amounts, whether or not received by the Issuer, with respect to such private
business use, do not, under the terms of this Thirty -Second Supplement or any underlying
arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than ten
percent (10%) of the debt service on the Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of
the Code;
(b) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use"
described in subsection (a) hereof exceeds five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Bonds
or the projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any)
then the amount in excess of five percent (5%) is used for a "private business use" which
is "related" and not "disproportionate", within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the
Code, to the governmental use;
(c) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of
$5,000,000, or five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Bonds (less amounts deposited
13
into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other
than state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the Code;
(d) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Bonds
being treated as "specified private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b)
of the Code;
(e) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being
"federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(f) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or
indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to
acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces
a materially higher yield over the term of the Bonds, other than investment property
acquired with --
(1) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period
until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds are issued,
(2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning
of section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(3) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement
fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed ten percent of the proceeds of the
Bonds;
(g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated
as proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise
contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage);
(h) to refrain from using the proceeds of the Bonds or the proceeds of any prior
bonds to pay debt service on another issue more than 90 days after the date of issue of the
Bonds in contravention of section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings);
and
(i) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year
period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) an amount that is at least equal to
ninety percent (90%) of the "Excess Earnings", within the meaning of section 148(f) of
the Code and to pay to the United States of America, not later than sixty (60) days after
the Bonds have been paid in full, one hundred percent (100%) of the amount then
required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code.
For purposes of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer understands that the
term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in
the case of a refunding bond, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds
expended prior to the date of the issuance of the Bonds. It is the understanding of the Issuer that
the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any
regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In
the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify or expand
14
provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer will not be required to comply with
any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of
nationally -recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income
taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or
rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional requirements which are applicable to
the Bonds, the Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary,
in the opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal
income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the Mayor, the City Manager, any Assistant City Manager and the Chief Financial
Officer/Director of Financial Management Services of the City are authorized to execute any
certificates or other reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the
City, which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of
the Bonds. In order to facilitate compliance with the above clause (i), a "Rebate Fund" may be
established by the City for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and the Rebate Fund
shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the registered
owners of the Bonds. The Rebate Fund would be established for the additional purpose of
compliance with section 148 of the Code.
Section 15. ADDITIONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX COVENANTS; WRITTEN
PROCEDURES. (a) Disposition of Project. The City covenants that the property financed or
refinanced with the proceeds of Bonds will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction
resulting in the receipt by the City of cash or other compensation, unless the City obtains an
opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel substantially to the effect that such sale or other
disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of such Bonds. For purposes of this
Section, the portion of the property comprising personal property and disposed of in the ordinary
course of business shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other
compensation. For purposes of this Section, the City shall not be obligated to comply with this
covenant if it obtains an opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel to the effect that such
failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from
gross income of the interest.
(b) Written Procedures. Until superseded by another action of the City, the written
procedures to ensure compliance with the covenants contained herein regarding private business
use, remedial actions, arbitrage and rebate approved by the City on September 26, 2017, apply to
the issuance of the Bonds, and are incorporated by reference into this Thirty -Second Supplement.

Supplement or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, agreement, or provision herein

promises, agreements, and provisions hereof are intended to be and shall be for and inure to the
sole and exclusive benefit of the City, the Holders, and the Paying Agent/Registrar as herein and
therein provided.
Section 23. FURTHER PROCEDURES. That the Mayor, the City Manager, any
Assistant City Manager, the Chief Financial Officer/Director of Financial Management Services
Athe City, the City Secretary or any Assistant City Secretary, and all other officers, employees,
and agents of the City, and each of them, shall be and they are hereby expressly authorized,
empowered and directed from time to time and at any time to do and perform all such acts and
things and to execute, acknowledge and deliver in the name and under the corporate seal and on
behalf of the City all such instruments, whether herein mentioned, as may be necessary or
desirable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Thirty -Second Supplement and the
Bonds, including, but not limited to, and fixing all details in connection therewith, to prepare the
Bidding Instructions and Official Bid Form, in the case of Bonds sold through a competitive sale,
and to approve any Official Statement, or supplements thereto, in connection with the Bonds.
Any final Official Statement relating to the offering of any series of Bonds, either through a
competitive sale or a negotiated sale conducted as a public underwriting, shall be approved by an
Authorized Representative. Each Authorized Representative is authorized to approve any
supplement to the Official Statement incorporating the information contained in the Bond
22
Purchase Agreement, in the case of a negotiated sale conducted as a public underwriting, and the
Bidding Instructions and Official Bid Form, in the case of a competitive sale, and such additional
information as deemed material consistent with the requirements of the Rule and to authorize the
distribution of any such final Official Statement to the initial purchasers of the Bonds for their
use in the sale of the Bonds to members of the general public. The use of any such final Official
Statement in the offer and sale of the Bonds is hereby approved. In case any officer whose
signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the
Bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if
such officer had remained in office until such delivery. The City Council authorizes the payment
of the fee of the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Texas for the examination of the
proceedings relating to the issuance of the Bonds of a series, in the amount determined in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1202.004, Texas Government Code.
Section 24. APPROVAL AND REGISTRATION OF BONDS. That the City Manager
of the City is hereby authorized to have control of the Bonds and all necessary records and
proceedings pertaining to the Bonds pending their delivery and their investigation, examination
and approval by the Attorney General, and their registration by the Comptroller. Upon
registration of the Bonds, the Comptroller (or a deputy designated in writing to act for the
Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller's Registration Certificate accompanying the
Bonds, and the seal of the Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in facsimile, on each such
certificate.
Section 25. DTC REGISTRATION. That the Bonds initially shall be issued and
delivered in such manner that no physical distribution of the Bonds will be made to the public,
and The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, initially will act as
depository for the Bonds. DTC has represented that it is a limited purpose trust company
incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System,
a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a
"clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the City accepts, but in no way verifies, such representations. The Bonds initially
authorized by this Thirty -Second Supplement shall be delivered to and registered in the name of
CEDE & CO., the nominee of DTC. So long as each Bond is registered in the name of CEDE &
CO., the Paying Agent/Registrar shall treat and deal with DTC the same in all respects as if it
were the actual and beneficial owner thereof. It is expected that DTC will maintain a book -entry
system which will identify ownership of the Bonds in integral amounts of $5,000, with transfers
of ownership being effected on the records of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and
regulations established by them, and that the Bonds initially deposited with DTC shall be
immobilized and not be further exchanged for substitute Bonds except as hereinafter provided.
The City is not responsible or liable for any functions of DTC, will not be responsible for paying
any fees or charges with respect to its services, will not be responsible or liable for maintaining,
supervising, or reviewing the records of DTC or its participants, or protecting any interests or
rights of the beneficial owners of the Bonds. It shall be the duty of the DTC Participants, as
defined in the Official Statement herein approved, to make all arrangements with DTC to
establish this book -entry system, the beneficial ownership of the Bonds, and the method of
paying the fees and charges of DTC. The City does not represent nor covenant that the initial
book -entry system established with DTC will be maintained in the future. Notwithstanding the
initial establishment of the foregoing book -entry system with DTC, if for any reason any of the
originally delivered Bonds is duly filed with the Paying Agent/Registrar with proper request for
transfer and substitution, as provided for in this Thirty -Second Supplement, substitute Bonds will
23
be duly delivered as provided in this Thirty -Second Supplement, and there will be no assurance
or representation that any book -entry system will be maintained for such Bonds. To effect the
establishment of the foregoing book -entry system, the City has executed and filed with DTC the
"Blanket DTC Letter of Representations" in the form provided by DTC to evidence the City's
intent to establish said book -entry system. The foregoing notwithstanding, Bonds sold through a
negotiated sale conducted as a private placement are not subject to the requirements of this
Section 25, unless the Bond Purchase Agreement executed in connection with the sale of such
Bonds provides that the DTC book -entry system of registration shall apply to such Bonds.
Section 26. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. (a) Events of Default. That each of the
following occurrences or events for the purpose of this Thirty -Second Supplement is hereby
declared to be an Event of Default:
(i) the failure to make payment of the principal of any Bond when the same
becomes due and payable; or
(ii) except as provided in Section 18(c)(iv) of this Thirty -Second Supplement,
default in the performance or observance of any other covenant, agreement or obligation
of the City, the failure to perform which materially, adversely affects the rights of the
registered owners of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, their prospect or ability to
be repaid in accordance with this Thirty -Second Supplement, and the continuation thereof
for a period of sixty (60) days after notice of such default is given by any registered
owner to the City.
(b) Remedies for Default.
(i) Upon the happening of any Event of Default, then and in every case, any
registered owner or an authorized representative thereof, including, but not limited to, a
trustee or trustees therefor, may proceed against the City, or any official, officer or
employee of the City in their official capacity, for the purpose of protecting and enforcing
the rights of the registered owners under this Thirty -Second Supplement, by mandamus
or other suit, action or special proceeding in equity or at law, in any court of competent
jurisdiction, for any relief permitted by law, including the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained herein, or thereby to enjoin any act or thing that may be
unlawful or in violation of any right of the registered owners hereunder or any
combination of such remedies.
(ii) It is provided that all such proceedings shall be instituted and maintained for
the equal benefit of all registered owners of Bonds then Outstanding.
(c) Remedies Not Exclusive.
(i) No remedy herein conferred or reserved is intended to be exclusive of any
other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative
and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Bonds or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity; provided, however, that notwithstanding any
other provision of this Thirty -Second Supplement, the right to accelerate the debt
evidenced by the Bonds shall not be available as a remedy under this Thirty -Second
Supplement.
24
(ii) The exercise of any remedy herein conferred or reserved shall not be deemed
a waiver of any other available remedy.
(iii) By accepting the delivery of a Bond authorized under this Thirty -Second
Supplement, such registered owner agrees that the certifications required to effectuate
any covenants or representations contained in this Thirty -Second Supplement do not and
shall never constitute or give rise to a personal or pecuniary liability or charge against the
officers, employees or members of the City or the City Council.
(iv) None of the members of the City Council, nor any other official or officer,
agent, or employee of the City, shall be charged personally by the registered owners with
any liability, or be held personally liable to the registered owners under any term or
provision of this Thirty -Second Supplement, or because of any Event of Default or
alleged Event of Default under this Thirty -Second Supplement,
Section 27. USE OF BOND PROCEEDS. That the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds
of any series shall be used in the manner described in a letter of instructions executed by or on
behalf of the City, provided, that proceeds representing accrued interest on such Bonds shall be
deposited to the credit of the Debt Service Fund and proceeds representing premium on such
Bonds shall be used in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 1201.042(d), Texas
Government Code.
Section 28. PREAMBLE. That the preamble to this Thirty -Second Supplement is
hereby incorporated by reference, and is to be considered a part of the operative text of this
Thirty -Second Supplement.

the Bond Ordinance), and (ii) paying the costs of issuance associated with the Bonds. The Bonds
shall be issued in any denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000 (an
"Authorized Denomination"). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same
meaning as given said terms in the Master Ordinance or the Bond Ordinance.
THE OUTSTANDING BONDS maturing on and after 15, 20 may be
redeemed prior to their scheduled maturities, at the option of the Issuer, in whole, or in part, on
15, 20_, or on any date thereafter, at the redemption price of the principal amount of
the Bonds called for redemption, and without premium; provided, that during any period in
which ownership of the Bonds is determined only by a book entry at a securities depository for
the Bonds, if fewer than all of the Bonds of the same maturity and bearing the same interest rate
are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds of such maturity and bearing such interest rate shall be
selected in accordance with the arrangements between the Issuer and the securities depository.
THE BONDS are also subject to mandatory redemption in part by lot pursuant to the
terms of the Ordinance, on 15 in each of the years 20_ through 20_, with respect to
Bonds maturing 15, 20_, in the following years and in the following amounts, at a

redemption, without premium:
Year
* Final Maturity
Principal Amount
To the extent, however, that Bonds subject to sinking fund redemption have been previously
purchased or called for redemption in part and otherwise than from a sinking fund redemption
payment, each annual sinking fund payment for such Bond shall be reduced by the amount
obtained by multiplying the principal amount of Bonds so purchased or redeemed by the ratio
which each remaining annual sinking fund redemption payment for such Bonds bears to the total
remaining sinking fund payments, and by rounding each such payment to the nearest $5,000
integral; provided, that during any period in which ownership of the Bonds is determined only by
a book entry at a securities depository for the Bonds, the particular Bonds to be called for
mandatory redemption shall be selected in accordance with the arrangements between the City
and the securities depository.
NOTICE OF any such redemption of Bonds shall be given in the following manner, to -
wit, a written notice of such redemption shall be given to the registered owner of each Bond or a
portion thereof being called for redemption not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for such
redemption by depositing such notice in the United States mail, first-class postage prepaid,
addressed to each such registered owner at his address shown on the Registration Books of the
Paying Agent/Registrar. Any notice so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given notwithstanding whether one or more registered owners may have failed to have received
such notice. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision shall be made by the Issuer
with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the required redemption price for this Bond
or the portion hereof which is to be so redeemed. If such notice of redemption is given, and if
due provision for such payment is made, all as provided above, this Bond or the portion hereof
which is to be so redeemed, thereby automatically shall be redeemed prior to its scheduled
maturity, and shall not be regarded as being Outstanding except for the right of the registered
owner to receive the redemption price from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds provided
For such payment. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall record in the Registration Books all such
redemptions of principal amount of this Bond or any portion hereof. If a portion of any Bond
shall be redeemed a substitute Bond or Bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at
the same rate, in any denomination or denominations in any Authorized Denomination at the
written request of the registered owner, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof, will be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof for
cancellation, at the expense of the Issuer, all as provided in the Bond Ordinance. The years of
maturity of the Bonds called for such redemption shall be selected by the Issuer. The Bonds or
portions thereof redeemed within a maturity shall be selected by lot or other customary random
method selected by the Paying Agent/Registrar in accordance with any requirements of a
securities depository, as applicable (provided that a portion of a Bond may be redeemed only in
an Authorized Denomination).
B-3
THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPH NOTWITHSTANDING, with respect to any optional
redemption of the Bonds, unless certain prerequisites to such optional redemption required by the
Bond Ordinance have been met and money sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed will have been received by the Paying Agent/Registrar
prior to giving such notice, such notice may state that the optional redemption will, at the option
of the City, be conditional upon the satisfaction of such prerequisites and receipt of such money
by the Paying Agent/Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption or upon any
prerequisite set forth in the notice of redemption. If a conditional notice of redemption is given
and such prerequisites to the redemption are not satisfied, such notice will be of no force and
effect, the City will not redeem such Bonds and the Paying Agent/Registrar will give notice in
the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, to the effect that such Bonds will not be
redeemed.
ALL BONDS OF THIS SERIES are issuable solely as fully registered bonds, without
interest coupons, in the denomination of any Authorized Denomination. As provided in the Bond
Ordinance, this Bond may, at the request of the registered owner or the assignee or assignees
hereof, be assigned, transferred, converted into and exchanged for a like aggregate amount of
fully registered Bonds, without interest coupons, payable to the appropriate registered owner,
assignee or assignees, as the case may be, having any authorized denomination or denominations
as requested in writing by the appropriate registered owner, assignee or assignees, as the case
may be, upon surrender of this Bond to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, all in
accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the Bond Ordinance. Among other
requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Bond must be presented and surrendered to
the Paying Agent/Registrar at the Designated Trust Office, together with proper instruments of
assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar,
evidencing assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions hereof in any authorized
denomination to the assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any such portion
or portions hereof is or are to be registered. The form of Assignment printed or endorsed on this
Bond may be executed by the registered owner to evidence the assignment hereof, but such
method is not exclusive, and other instruments of assignment satisfactory to the Paying
Agent/Registrar may be used to evidence the assignment of this Bond or any portion or portions
hereof from time to time by the registered owner. The one requesting such conversion and
exchange shall pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and
charges for converting and exchanging any Bond or portion thereof. In any circumstance, any
taxes or governmental charges required to be paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one
requesting such assignment, transfer, conversion or exchange, as a condition precedent to the
exercise of such privilege. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the case of the conversion and
exchange of an assigned and transferred Bond or Bonds or any portion or portions thereof, such
fees and charges of the Paying Agent/Registrar will be paid by the Issuer. The Paying
Agent/Registrar shall not be required (i) to make any such transfer, conversion or exchange
during the period beginning at the opening of business 30 days before the day of the first mailing
of a notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to
transfer, convert or exchange any Bonds so selected for redemption when such redemption is
scheduled to occur within 30 calendar days; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall
not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of an unredeemed balance of a Bond
called for redemption in part.
IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the Issuer,
resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as such, the Issuer has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance that
B-4
it promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified substitute therefor, whose
qualifications are substantially similar to the previous Paying Agent/Registrar it is replacing, and
promptly will cause written notice thereof to be mailed to the registered owners of the Bonds.
WHENEVER the beneficial ownership of this Bond is determined by a book entry at a
securities depository for the Bonds, the foregoing requirements of holding, delivering or
transferring this Bond shall be modified to require the appropriate person or entity to meet the
requirements of the securities depository as to registering or transferring the book entry to
produce the same effect.
BY BECOMING the registered owner of this Bond, the registered owner thereby
acknowledges all of the terms and provisions of the Master Ordinance and the Bond Ordinance,
agrees to be bound by such terms and provisions, acknowledges that the Master Ordinance and
the Bond Ordinance are duly recorded and available for inspection in the official minutes and
records of the Issuer, and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Bond, the Master
Ordinance and the Bond Ordinance constitute a contract between each registered owner hereof
and the Issuer.
THE BONDS are special obligations of the Issuer payable solely from and equally
secured by a first lien on and pledge of the Pledged Revenues of the System. The Issuer has
reserved the right, subject to the restrictions stated, and adopted by reference, in the Master
Ordinance, to issue additional parity revenue obligations which also may be made payable from,
and secured by a first lien on and pledge of, the Pledged Revenues. For a more complete
description and identification of the revenues and funds pledged to the payment of the Bonds,
and other obligations of the Issuer secured by and payable from the same source or sources as the
Bonds, reference is hereby made to the Master Ordinance and the Bond Ordinance.
THE ISSUER has reserved the right, subject to the restrictions stated, and adopted by
reference, in the Bond Ordinance, to amend the Bond Ordinance; and under some (but not all)
circumstances amendments must be approved by the owners of a majority in Outstanding
Principal Amount of the Bonds.
THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF shall never have the right to demand payment of
this obligation out of any funds raised or to be raised by taxation.
IT IS HEREBY certified and covenanted that this Bond has been duly and validly
authorized, issued and delivered; and that all acts, conditions and things required or proper to be
performed, exist and be done precedent to or in the authorization, issuance and delivery of this
Bond have been performed, existed and been done in accordance with law.

SUBJECT:

Adopt Amended and Restated Thirty -Second Supplemental Ordinance, which Mirrors the Prior Thirty -

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached Thirty -Fourth Supplemental Ordinance (i) authorizing the issuance of City of Fort
Worth, Texas Water and Sewer System Revenue Bonds, Series 2019, in an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $101,040,000, (ii) approving the sale of the bonds subject to certain parameters, as set forth
in the ordinance, being met, (iii) authorizing instruments related to the issuance of the bonds, (iv) providing
for the establishment of rates and collection of revenues sufficient to pay the principal and interest on said

revenue debt of the City shall generally have an average life of approximately seventeen -to -eighteen
years.
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Water and Sewer Bond 2019 Fund in the amount of $102,000,000.00 for the purpose of funding capital
improvements and paying the costs of issuance, subject to the sale of the bonds and receipt of proceeds,

Logname: 13SERIES 2019 WSS REV BOND AND CP APPROPRIATION RESTORANCE Page 1 of 4
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to adopt ordinances associated with
revenue -based debt financing of infrastructure for the City's Water and Sewer System. The actions
include authorizing $100,000,000.00 for system improvements (Thirty -Fourth Supplement), extending
standby refunding authority to facilitate the System's Commercial Paper (CP) program (Amended and
Restated Thirty -Second Supplement), and adopting an associated appropriation ordinance.
Thirty -Fourth Supplement
The first two recommendations relate to the Thirty -Fourth Supplemental Ordinance, which authorizes
issuance and sale of $102,000,000.00 in Water and Sewer revenue bonds, in one or more series, for the
purpose of (i) extending and improving the System and (ii) and paying the costs of issuance of the bonds,
and to the appropriation of the bond proceeds.
The proposed debt transaction will fund capital projects in alignment with the Water &Sewer System's
Capital Improvement Plan. Staff is recommending that these bonds be sold through a competitive bid sale
with the City Manager or the Chief Financial Officer being authorized to approve the terms of the sale so
long as it comes within the parameters set forth in the Council -adopted ordinance. Other parameters
include: (i) providing for the establishment of rates and collection of revenues sufficient to pay the principal
and interest on said bonds, and (ii) setting a maximum maturity of bonds not later than February 15, 2049.
In 1991, the City adopted a Master Ordinance establishing a Water and Sewer System Revenue
Financing Program for the Water Department. Each time the Water Department issues debt, a
supplemental ordinance must be adopted which contains details specific to the debt being issued. This
issuance would be the thirty-fourth supplemental ordinance since the Master Ordinance was adopted.
Rating agency presentations for Moody's, Fitch, and Standard & Poor's will be conducted in late April and
early May of 2019. Ratings are anticipated to be received in Mid -May. Bids for the sale of the bonds are
estimated to be submitted on May 30, 2018. Subsequent to accepting the best bid and awarding the sale
of the bonds, the City will seek approval of the debt transactions from the Texas Attorney General with an
estimated closing date of July 16, 2019.
The attached appropriation ordinance reflects the maximum appropriation amount for bond proceeds. Its
structure accommodates variables associated with sale of debt under delegated authority such as the
uncertain final interest rate to be achieved and the possibility of a premium or discount being associated
with the sale of the bonds. To the extent numbers at closing are less than those reflected in the ordinance,
the available appropriation amount will be reduced as needed to reflect final figures based on the closing
documents to ensure appropriations do not exceed actualy.
Amended and Restated Thirty -Second Supplement
This M&C also adopts an amended and restated Thirty -Second Supplemental Ordinance, which provides
the officials identified and designated as pricing officers with the authority to issue up to $150,000,000.00
in Water and Sewer revenue refunding bonds if needed to facilitate the System's CP program.
As approved by the City Council in December 2017, the CP program authorizes up to $150,000,000.00 in
short-term commercial paper for the Water and Sewer System to be outstanding at any time (M&C C-
28496). Although it is not anticipated that commercial paper would actually be issued very regularly, the
program authority provides the Water Department with liquidity and contracting authority so that it can
efficiently design and commence capital projects that are ultimately planned to be financed out of longer
term debt to be issued at a later date.
By statute, an issue of commercial paper cannot have a maturity that is later than the 270th day after the
date on which the paper is initially issued. The Thirty -Second Supplement is an integral part of the CP
Logname: 13SERIES 2019 WSS REV BOND AND CP APPROPRIATION RESTORANCE Page 2 of 4
program because it provides delegated authority that allows refunding bonds to be issued, within certain
parameters, in the unlikely event that commercial paper is actually issued and cannot otherwise be retired
or defeased by the 270th day.
The Thirty -Second Supplemental Ordinance was initially adopted by M&C C-28496 and previously
amended and restated (M&C G-19266). Among the parameters the ordinance sets for issuance of Water
and Sewer revenue refunding bonds is that the bonds bear a "net effective interest rate" (as defined in and
calculated in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1204, Texas Government Code) that is no greater
than 10%. In accordance with the practice of the Texas Attorney General, the prior versions of the Thirty -
Second Supplemental Ordinance provided delegated authority that would expire a year after the
ordinance (original or restated) was adopted.
Adoption of the attached amended and restated version of the Thirty -Second Supplemental Ordinance
extends the delegated authority of the pricing officers to effect sale of all or any portion of up to
$150,000,000.00 in revenue refunding bonds through 5:00 p.m. on Friday, May 29, 2020. Prior restated
versions of the Thirty -Second Supplemental Ordinance incorporated minor changes reflecting the impact
of federal tax law changes on advance refundings, and the current restated version adds to the list of
events that require disclosure under federal securities regulations.
Because ongoing authority to issue refunding bonds is needed for proper operation of the CP program, a
newly amended and restated Thirty -Second Supplemental Ordinance will be needed on an annual basis
to extend the period of delegated authority. Staff anticipates bringing forward an amended and restated
Thirty -Second Supplemental Ordinance each year as part of the City's annual debt issuance process.
With the appropriation of proceeds in the bond project fund following sale of the bonds and receipt of
proceeds, the available amount in the Water and Sewer Callable Commercial Paper Fund, against which
project expenses had initially been booked, will be restored to approximately its full capacity of
$150,000,000.00 as established by Ordinance 23030-12-2017.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon adoption of the attached ordinance, the sale of the 2019 Water
and Sewer System Revenue Bonds will occur as required under the parameters set forth therein and that
funds will be available in the Water and Sewer Debt Service Fund and in the Water and Sewer Bond 2019
Fund to record the appropriate and necessary transactions. Pursuant to the recommended actions,
appropriation authority up to $150,000,000.00 will be restored in the Water and Sewer Commercial Paper
Fund.
