Forms, ordinances, notices, etc., are from various cities across Washington state and are included in this document solely as examples of what other cities have used. Each of these was developed for a unique project for a specific city. No representation is made that these are specifically applicable to any other city's unique project. All legal notices, ordinances and forms must be prepared by the city's attorney and approved at some point by the city's bond counsel.
