(b)Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond duly endorsed by the Holder thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the Holder inwriting, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor.

(d)Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered for payment, transfer or exchange shall be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City. (e)Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is satisfied that the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized. (f)Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the Bond Register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes; and all payments made to or upon the order of such Holder shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (g)Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Bonds (except for an exchange upon a partial redemption of a Bond), the Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. (h)Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In case any Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it, in which both the City and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it shall not be necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment. (i)Authenticating Agent. The Registrar is hereby designated authenticating agent for the Bonds, within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 1, as amended. (j)Valid Obligations. All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Resolution as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

The Bonds shall be prepared under the direction of the City Clerk and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City Clerk, provided that the signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Bond, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes,the same as if such officer had remained in office until the date of delivery of such Bond. Notwithstanding such execution, no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and untila certificate of authentication on the Bond, substantially in the form provided in EXHIBIT B, has been executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be signedby the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Resolution.

Neither the Registrar nor the City shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or any Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the Bond Register as being a registered owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Participant, with respect to the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount with respect to the principal of or interest on the Bonds, with respect to any notice which is permitted or required July 27, 2026 City Council Meeting Minutes 11 Council Packet Page Number 12 of 122 E2 to be given to owners of Bonds under this resolution, with respect to the selection by DTC or any Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or with respect to any consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds.

No person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest.

(c) In the event the City determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of physical certificates, the City may notify DTC and the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.

In such event the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.

All funds on hand in the Project Fund when terminated shall be credited to the Bond Fund described in Section 4 hereof, unless and except as such proceeds may be transferred to some other fund or account as to which the City has received from bond counsel an opinion that such other transfer is permitted by applicable laws and does not impair the exemption of interest on the Bonds from federal income taxes. In no event shall funds remain in the Project Fund later than three years following the date of issuance of the Bonds. SECTION 4. GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, SERIES 2026A BOND FUND. The Bonds shall be payable from a separate General Obligation Bonds, Series 2026A Bond Fund (the “Bond Fund”) of the City, which shall be created and maintained on the books of the City as a separate debt redemption fund until the Bonds, and all interest thereon, are fully paid. Within the Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund shall be established the following subaccounts: (a)Abatement Bonds Subaccount. Into the Abatement Bonds Subaccount shall be paid: i.the amounts specified in Section 3(a) above upon termination of the Park Projects Account of the Project Fund; ii.any funds received from the Purchaser upon delivery of the Abatement Bonds in excess of the amounts specified in Section 3(a) above; (c) Tax Abatement Revenue received by the City; iii.any taxes collected pursuant to Section 7 hereof; iv.any other funds appropriated by this Council for the payment of the Abatement Bonds.

The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable from the Bond Fund, and the money on hand in the Bond Fund from time to time shall be used only to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. On or before each principal and interest paymentdate for the Bonds, the City Finance Directoris directed to remit to the Registrar from funds on deposit in the Bond Fund the amount needed to pay principal and interest on the Bonds on the next succeeding principal and interest payment date. There are hereby established two accounts in the Bond Fund, designated as the “Debt Service Account” and the “Surplus Account.” There shall initially be deposited into the Debt Service Account upon the issuance of the Bonds the amount set forth in clause (b) above. Thereafter, during each bond year (each twelve month period commencing on February 1and ending on the following January 31, a “Bond Year”), as monies are received into the Bond Fund, the City Finance Directorshall first deposit such monies into the Debt Service Account until an amount has been appropriated thereto sufficient to pay all principal and interest due on the Bonds through the end of the Bond Year. All subsequent monies received in the Bond Fund during the Bond Year shall be appropriatedto the Surplus Account. If at any time the amount on hand in the Debt Service Account is insufficient for the payment of principal and interest then due, the City Finance Directorshall transfer to the Debt Service Account amounts on hand in the Surplus Account to the extent necessary to cure such deficiency. Investment earnings (and losses) on amounts from time to time held in the Debt Service Account and Surplus Account shall becredited or charged to said accounts. If the balance in the Bond Fund is at any time insufficient to pay all interest and principal then due on all Bonds payable therefrom, the payment shall be made from any fund of the City which is available for that purpose, subject to reimbursement from the Surplus Account when the balance therein is sufficient, and the City covenants and agrees that it will each year levy a sufficient amount of ad valorem taxes to take care of any accumulated or anticipated deficiency, which levy is not subject to any constitutional or statutory limitation. SECTION 5. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. The City hereby covenants and agrees that, for the payment of the costs of the Improvement Projects, the City has done or will do and perform all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of special assessments in a principal amount of $1,946,565, which amount is not less than 20% of the cost of the Improvement Projects. The principal of the assessments shall be made payable in annual installments, with interest as established by this Council in accordance with law on unpaid installments thereof from time to time remaining unpaid. In the event any special assessment shall at any time be held invalid with respect to any lot or tract of land, due to any error, defect or irregularity in any action or proceeding taken or to be taken by the City or by this Council or by any of the officers or employees of the City, either in the making of such special assessment or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City hereby covenants and agrees that it will forthwith do all such further things and take all such further proceedings as shall be required by law to make such special assessment a valid and binding lien upon said property. SECTION 6. RESERVED. SECTION 7. PLEDGE OF TAXING POWERS. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as such payments respectively become due, the full faith, credit and July 27, 2026 City Council Meeting Minutes 14 Council Packet Page Number 15 of 122 E2 unlimited taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocablypledged. In order to produce aggregate amounts which, together with the collections of other amounts as set forth in Section 4, will produce amounts not less than 5% in excess of the amounts needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds, ad valorem taxes are hereby levied on all taxable property in the City, the taxes to be levied and collected in the years and amounts as shown on EXHIBIT C. The taxes shall be irrepealable as long asany of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the tax levies from other legally available funds, in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section475.61. SECTION 8. DEFEASANCE. When all of the Bonds have been discharged as provided in this Section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this Resolution to the Holders of the Bonds shall cease. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued from the due date to the date of such deposit. The City may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date an amount equal to the principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest then due, provided that notice of such redemption has been duly given as provided herein. The City may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with the Registrar or with a bank or trust company qualified by law to act as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are authorized by law to be so deposited for such purpose, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing or callable at the holder’s option on such dates as shall be required to pay all principal and interest to become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been irrevocably provided for, to an earlier designated redemption date. If such deposit is made more than ninety days before the maturity date or specified redemption date of the Bonds to be discharged, the City must have received a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit does not adversely affect the exemption of interest on any Bonds from federal income taxation and a written report of an accountant or investment banking firm verifying that the deposit is sufficient to pay when due all of the principal and interest on the Bonds to be discharged on and before their maturity dates or earlier designated redemption date. SECTION 9. TAX COVENANTS; ARBITRAGE MATTERS AND CONTINUING DISCLOSURE. 9.01. General Tax Covenant. The City agrees with the registered owners from time to time of the Bonds that it will not take, or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents, any action that would cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income ofthe recipient under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and applicable Treasury Regulations (the “Regulations”), and agrees to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income of the recipient under the Code and the Regulations. All proceeds of the Bonds deposited in the Project Fund will be expended solely for the payment of the costs of the Projects. The Projects are and will be owned and maintained by the City and available for use by members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The City shall not enter into any lease, management contract, use agreement, capacity agreement or other agreement with any non-governmental person relating to theuse of the Projects, or any portion thereof, or security for the payment of July 27, 2026 City Council Meeting Minutes 15 Council Packet Page Number 16 of 122 E2 the Bonds which might cause the Bonds to be considered “private activity bonds” or “private loan bonds” pursuant to Section 141 of the Code. 9.02. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and City Clerk being the officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this Resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance with Section 148 of the Code, and applicable Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds which make it reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of the Code and Regulations. 9.03. Arbitrage Rebate. The City acknowledges that the Bonds may be subject to the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The City covenants and agrees to retain such records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amounts at such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Regulations to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, unless the Bonds qualify for an exception from the rebate requirement pursuant to one of the spending exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 of the Regulations and no “gross proceeds” of the Bonds (other than amounts constituting a “bona fide debt service fund”) arise during or after the expenditure of the original proceeds thereof. 9.04. Reimbursement. The City certifies that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used by the City to reimburse itself for any expenditure with respect to the Projects which the City paid or will have paid more than 60 days prior to the issuance of the Bonds unless, with respect to such prior expenditures, the City shall have made a declaration of official intent which complies with the provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations, provided that this certification shall not apply (i) with respect to certain de minimis expenditures, if any, with respect to the Projects meeting the requirements of Section 1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations, or (ii) with respect to “preliminary expenditures” for the Projects as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations, includingengineering or architectural expenses and similar preparatory expenses, which in the aggregate do not exceed 20% of the “issue price” of the Bonds. 9.05. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The City Council hereby designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code relating to the disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions, and hereby finds that the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code) which will be issued by the City and all subordinate entities during calendar year 2026 does not exceed $10,000,000. 9.06. Continuing Disclosure(a) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the public availability of certain information relating to the Bonds and the security therefor and to permit the Purchaser and other participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to comply with amendments to Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12), relating to continuing disclosure (as in effect and interpreted from time to time, the Rule), which will enhance the marketability of the Bonds, the City hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Owners (as hereinafter defined) from time to time of the outstanding Bonds.

Background: Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority has determined that its properties along English Street are in excess now that transit is no longer being considered for this area. The applicant would like to have the unused street right-of-way vacated to make its properties contiguous and more marketable for sale. Council Packet Page Number 89 of 122 H1 Staff does not see any reason to retain this unused section of Summer Avenue right-of-way for roadway or utility needs. There is no potential for its use as a roadway and, therefore, no benefit to the city to retain it as such. The city council is required to hold a public hearing for public vacation requests. Staff published a public hearing notice in the city’s official newspaper for two consecutive weeks and sent notices to the 109 owners with property in the same plat as the proposed vacation. When approving public vacations, if a majority of the abutting property owners support the vacation, the city council may approve it by a simple majority vote. Since Ramsey County Regional Rail owns all abutting properties, the city council can approve the vacation with a simple majority vote.

Strategic Plan Relevance: SafetyMaintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems Sustainability Development Background: The cities of Woodbury and Maplewood have prepared a JPA that formalizes Woodbury's delivery of sanitary sewer and/or water utility services to certain properties within Maplewood. These properties are generally located along Century Avenue and include the southern portion of the Century Ponds development, which will be connected to Woodbury’s sanitary sewer system. Given Council Packet Page Number 103 of 122 J2 the location and configuration of Maplewood's utility infrastructure, these properties are most efficiently served by Woodbury's utility systems. Over the years, the two cities have entered into several utility service agreements to facilitate sanitary sewer and/or water service to Maplewood properties served by Woodbury. These agreements are now outdated and no longer reflect current operational practices, utility standards, and legal requirements. With Century Ponds added to the service area, both cities agreed to replace these piecemeal arrangements with a single, updated agreement. The proposed JPA replaces all prior sanitary sewer and water service agreements between the two cities. It defines each city's roles and responsibilities for the installation, ownership, operation, maintenance, financial obligations, and liability associated with the utility systems serving these properties. Approving this agreement gives both cities a clear framework for administering utility services and supports efficient, reliable, long-term water and sewer service to the affected properties.
