If Bonds are prepaid, the prepayments shall be allocated to the portions of debt service
(and hence allocated to the payment of Bonds treated as relating to a particular portion of debt
service) as provided in this paragraph. If the source of prepayment moneys is the general fund
of the City, or other generally available source, the prepayment may be allocated to any of the
portions of debt service in such amounts as the City shall determine. If the source of a
prepayment is special assessments pledged to the Improvements, the prepayment shall be
allocated to the Improvement Portion of debt service. If the source of prepayments is taxes
pledged to the CIP Project, the prepayment shall be allocated to the CIP Portion.
(c) Book Entry Only System. The Depository Trust Company, a limited purpose trust
company organized under the laws of the State of New York or any of its successors or its
successors to its functions hereunder (the "Depository") will act as securities depository for the
Bonds, and to this end:
(i) The Bonds shall be initially issued and, so long as they remain in book entry form
only (the "Book Entry Only Period"), shall at all times be in the form of a separate
single fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds; and for purposes of
complying with this requirement under paragraphs 5 and 10 Authorized
June 10, 2013
City Council Meeting Minutes 15
Denominations for any Bond shall be deemed to be limited during the Book Entry
Only Period to the outstanding principal amount of that Bond.
(ii) Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a bond
register maintained by the Bond Registrar (as hereinafter defined) in the name of
CEDE & CO., as the nominee (it or any nominee of the existing or a successor
Depository, the "Nominee").
(iii) With respect to the Bonds neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any broker, dealer, bank, or any other financial
institution for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (the
"Participant") or the person for which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds
shown on the books and records of the Participant (the "Beneficial Owner").
Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, neither the City, nor the
Bond Registrar, shall have any such responsibility or obligation with respect to
(A) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee or any Participant
with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, or (B) the delivery to any
Participant, any Owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any
notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (C) the
payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than
the Depository, of any amount with respect to the principal of or premium, if any,
or interest on the Bonds, or (D) the consent given or other action taken by the
Depository as the Registered Holder of any Bonds (the "Holder"). For purposes
of securing the vote or consent of any Holder under this Resolution, the City may,
however, rely upon an omnibus proxy under which the Depository assigns its
consenting or voting rights to certain Participants to whose accounts the Bonds
are credited on the record date identified in a listing attached to the omnibus
proxy.
(iv) The City and the Bond Registrar may treat as and deem the Depository to be the
absolute owner of the Bonds for the purpose of payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of
redemption and other matters with respect to the Bonds, for the purpose of
obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Holders for the purpose of
registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all purpose whatsoever.
The Bond Registrar, as paying agent hereunder, shall pay all principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to the Holder or the Holders of
the Bonds as shown on the bond register, and all such payments shall be valid
and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to
the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of
the sum or sums so paid.
(v) Upon delivery by the Depository to the Bond Registrar of written notice to the
effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new Nominee in place
of the existing Nominee, and subject to the transfer provisions in paragraph 10,
references to the Nominee hereunder shall refer to such new Nominee.
(vi) So long as any Bond is registered in the name of a Nominee, all payments with
respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all
notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, by the
Bond Registrar or City, as the case may be, to the Depository as provided in the
Letter of Representations to the Depository required by the Depository as a
condition to its acting as book-entry Depository for the Bonds (said Letter of
Representations, together with any replacement thereof or amendment or
June 10, 2013
City Council Meeting Minutes 16
substitute thereto, including any standard procedures or policies referenced
therein or applicable thereto respecting the procedures and other matters relating
to the Depository's role as book-entry Depository for the Bonds, collectively
hereinafter referred to as the "Letter of Representations").
(vii) All transfers of beneficial ownership interests in each Bond issued in book-entry
form shall be limited in principal amount to Authorized Denominations and shall
be effected by procedures by the Depository with the Participants for recording
and transferring the ownership of beneficial interests in such Bonds.
(viii) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to the
Holders pursuant to this Resolution by the City or Bond Registrar with respect to
any consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the Depository shall consider
the date of receipt of notice requesting such consent or other action as the record
date for such consent or other action; provided, that the City or the Bond
Registrar may establish a special record date for such consent or other action.
The City or the Bond Registrar shall, to the extent possible, give the Depository
notice of such special record date not less than fifteen calendar days in advance
of such special record date to the extent possible.
(ix) Any successor Bond Registrar in its written acceptance of its duties under this
Resolution and any paying agency/bond registrar agreement, shall agree to take
any actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the
Letter of Representations.
(x) In the case of a partial prepayment of a Bond, the Holder may, in lieu of
surrendering the Bonds for a Bond of a lesser denomination as provided in
paragraph 5, make a notation of the reduction in principal amount on the panel
provided on the Bond stating the amount so redeemed.
(d) Termination of Book-Entry Only System. Discontinuance of a particular
Depository's services and termination of the book-entry only system may be effected as
follows:
(i) The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect
to the Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the City and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. The City may
terminate the services of the Depository with respect to the Bond if it determines
that the Depository is no longer able to carry out its functions as securities
depository or the continuation of the system of book-entry transfers through the
Depository is not in the best interests of the City or the Beneficial Owners.
(ii) Upon termination of the services of the Depository as provided in the preceding
paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository is willing to undertake the
functions of the Depository hereunder can be found which, in the opinion of the
City, is willing and able to assume such functions upon reasonable or customary
terms, or if the City determines that it is in the best interests of the City or the
Beneficial Owners of the Bond that the Beneficial Owners be able to obtain
certificates for the Bonds, the Bonds shall no longer be registered as being
registered in the bond register in the name of the Nominee, but may be
registered in whatever name or names the Holder of the Bonds shall designate at
that time, in accordance with paragraph 10. To the extent that the Beneficial
Owners are designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with
paragraph 10, the Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.

City Council Meeting Minutes 17
(iii) Nothing in this subparagraph (d) shall limit or restrict the provisions of paragraph
10.
(e) Letter of Representations. The provisions in the Letter of Representations are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part of the resolution, and if and to the
extent any such provisions are inconsistent with the other provisions of this resolution,
the provisions in the Letter of Representations shall control.
3. Purpose. The Improvement Portion of the Bonds shall provide funds to finance
the Improvements. The Refunding Portion of the Bonds shall provide funds to finance the
crossover refunding of the Refunded Bonds (the "Refunding"). The CIP Portion of the Bonds
shall provide funds to finance the CIP Project. The Improvements and the CIP Project are
herein referred to together as the Project. The total cost of the Project, which shall include all
costs enumerated in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65, is estimated to be at least equal to the
amount of the Bonds. The City covenants that it shall do all things and perform all acts required
of it to assure that work on the Project proceeds with due diligence to completion and that any
and all permits and studies required under law for the Project are obtained. It is hereby found,
determined and declared that the Refunding is pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67,
Subdivision 13, and as of the crossover date of the Bonds, shall result in a reduction of the
present value of the dollar amount of the debt service to the City from a total dollar amount of
$628,443.76 for the Prior Bonds to a total dollar amount of $596,625.00 for the Refunding
Portion of the Bonds, computed in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.67, Subdivision 12, and accordingly the dollar amount of such present value of the
debt service for the Refunding Portion of the Bonds is lower by at least three percent than the
dollar amount of such present value of the debt service for the Prior Bonds as required in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 12.
4. Interest. The Bonds shall bear interest payable semiannually on February 1 and
August 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing February 1, 2014,
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, at the respective rates per
annum set forth opposite the maturity years as follows:
Maturity Year Interest Rate Maturity Year Interest Rate
2015 2.00% 2023 2.50%
2016 2.00 2024 2.75
2017 2.00 2025 2.75
2018 2.00 2026 3.0
2019 2.00 2027 3.0
2020 2.00 2029 3.25
2021 2.00 2031 3.50
2022 2.25
5. Redemption. All Bonds maturing on February 1, 2023 and thereafter, shall be
subject to redemption and prepayment at the option of the City on February 1, 2022, and on any
date thereafter at a price of par plus accrued interest. Redemption may be in whole or in part of
the Bonds subject to prepayment. If redemption is in part, the maturities and the principal
amounts within each maturity to be redeemed shall be determined by the City; and if only part of
the Bonds having a common maturity date are called for prepayment, the specific Bonds to be
prepaid shall be chosen by lot by the Bond Registrar. Bonds or portions thereof called for
redemption shall be due and payable on the redemption date, and interest thereon shall cease
to accrue from and after the redemption date. Mailed notice of redemption shall be given to the
paying agent and to each affected registered holder of the Bonds at least thirty days prior to the
date fixed for redemption.
June 10, 2013
City Council Meeting Minutes 18
To effect a partial redemption of Bonds having a common maturity date, the Bond
Registrar prior to giving notice of redemption shall assign to each Bond having a common
maturity date a distinctive number for each $5,000 of the principal amount of such Bond. The
Bond Registrar shall then select by lot, using such method of selection as it shall deem proper in
its discretion, from the numbers so assigned to such Bonds, as many numbers as, at $5,000 for
each number, shall equal the principal amount of such Bonds to be redeemed. The Bonds to be
redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were assigned numbers so selected; provided, however,
that only so much of the principal amount of each such Bond of a denomination of more than
$5,000 shall be redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it and so
selected. If a Bond is to be redeemed only in part, it shall be surrendered to the Bond Registrar
(with, if the City or Bond Registrar so requires, a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the City and Bond Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing) and the City shall execute (if necessary) and the Bond
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Bond, without service charge, a new
Bond or Bonds having the same stated maturity and interest rate and of any Authorized
Denomination or Denominations, as requested by the Holder, in aggregate principal amount
equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so
surrendered.
6. Bond Registrar. U.S. Bank National Association, in St. Paul, Minnesota, is
appointed to act as bond registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Bonds (the "Bond
Registrar"), and shall do so unless and until a successor Bond Registrar is duly appointed, all
pursuant to any contract the City and Bond Registrar shall execute which is consistent herewith.
The Bond Registrar shall also serve as paying agent unless and until a successor paying agent
is duly appointed. Principal and interest on the Bonds shall be paid to the registered holders (or
record holders) of the Bonds in the manner set forth in the form of Bond and paragraph 12.
7. Form of Bond. The Bonds, together with the Bond Registrar's Certificate of

8. Execution; Temporary Bonds. The Bonds shall be printed (or, at the request of
the Purchaser, typewritten) and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of its
Mayor and City Clerk and be sealed with the seal of the City; provided, however, that the seal of
the City may be a printed (or, at the request of the Purchaser, photocopied) facsimile; and
provided further that both of such signatures may be printed (or, at the request of the Purchaser,
photocopied) facsimiles and the corporate seal may be omitted on the Bonds as permitted by
law. In the event of disability or resignation or other absence of either officer, the Bonds may be
signed by the manual or facsimile signature of that officer who may act on behalf of the absent
or disabled officer. In case either officer whose signature or facsimile of whose signature shall
appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the Bonds, the
signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if
the officer had remained in office until delivery. The City may elect to deliver, in lieu of printed
definitive bonds, one or more typewritten temporary bonds in substantially the form set forth
above, with such changes as may be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a single
temporary bond. Such temporary bonds may be executed with photocopied facsimile
signatures of the Mayor and City Clerk. Such temporary bonds shall, upon the printing of the
definitive bonds and the execution thereof, be exchanged therefor and canceled.
9. Authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be
entitled to any security or benefit under this resolution unless a Certificate of Authentication on
the Bond, substantially in the form hereinabove set forth, shall have been duly executed by an
authorized representative of the Bond Registrar. Certificates of Authentication on different
Bonds need not be signed by the same person. The Bond Registrar shall authenticate the
signatures of officers of the City on each Bond by execution of the Certificate of Authentication
on the Bond and by inserting as the date of registration in the space provided the date on which
the Bond is authenticated, except that for purposes of delivering the original Bonds to the
Purchaser, the Bond Registrar shall insert as a date of registration the date of original issue,
which date is the date of delivery. The Certificate of Authentication so executed on each Bond
shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution.
10. Registration; Transfer; Exchange. The City will cause to be kept at the principal
office of the Bond Registrar a bond register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
the Bond Registrar may prescribe, the Bond Registrar shall provide for the registration of Bonds
and the registration of transfers of Bonds entitled to be registered or transferred as herein
provided.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, the
City shall execute (if necessary), and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate, insert the date of
registration (as provided in paragraph 9) of, and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of any Authorized Denomination or
June 10, 2013
City Council Meeting Minutes 24
Denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, having the same stated maturity and
interest rate, as requested by the transferor; provided, however, that no Bond may be registered
in blank or in the name of "bearer" or similar designation.
At the option of the Holder, Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any Authorized
Denomination or Denominations of a like aggregate principal amount and stated maturity, upon
surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the principal office of the Bond Registrar. Whenever
any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the City shall execute (if necessary), and the Bond
Registrar shall authenticate, insert the date of registration of, and deliver the Bonds which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All Bonds surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this resolution shall
be promptly canceled by the Bond Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
All Bonds delivered in exchange for or upon transfer of Bonds shall be valid general
obligations of the City evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
resolution, as the Bonds surrendered for such exchange or transfer.

account with U.S. Bank National Association (the "Escrow Agent"), in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
which is a suitable financial institution within or without the State. $401,092.39 in proceeds of
the Refunding Portion of the Bonds shall be received by the Escrow Agent and applied to fund
the Escrow Account. Proceeds of the Bonds and any proceeds returned to the City are hereby
irrevocably pledged and appropriated to the Escrow Account, together with all investment
earnings thereon. The Escrow Account shall be invested in securities maturing or callable at
the option of the holder on such dates and bearing interest at such rates as shall be required to
provide sufficient funds, together with any cash or other funds retained in the Escrow Account,
(i) to pay when due the interest to accrue on the Refunding Portion of the Bonds to and
including the Crossover Date; and (ii) to pay when called for redemption on the Crossover Date,
the principal amount of the Refunded Bonds. The Escrow Account shall be irrevocably
appropriated to the payment of (i) all interest on the Refunding Portion of the Bonds to and
including the Crossover Date, and (ii) the principal of the Refunded Bonds due by reason of
their call for redemption on the Crossover Date. The moneys in the Escrow Account shall be
used solely for the purposes herein set forth and for no other purpose, except that any surplus

on file in the office of the Finance Manager. Any moneys remitted to the City pursuant to the
Escrow Agreement shall be deposited in the Debt Service Account.
(b) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited
$5,923,264.29 of the Refunding Portion of the Bonds and the proceeds of the sale of the
Improvement Portion and CIP Portion of the Bonds, less any accrued interest and less
capitalized interest. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all costs and expenses
of the issuance of the Bonds and the Project, including the cost of any construction contracts
heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind authorized in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.65. Moneys in the Construction Account shall be used for no other
purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the Improvement
Portion and CIP Portion of the Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest
on the Improvement Portion and CIP Portion of the Bonds due prior to the anticipated date of
commencement of the collection of taxes or special assessments herein levied or covenanted to
be levied; and provided further that if upon completion of the Improvement Project there shall
remain any unexpended balance (other than any special assessments) in the Construction
Account, the balance shall be transferred to the Debt Service Account or the fund of any other
improvement instituted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429, and provided further that
any special assessments credited to the Construction Account shall only be applied toward
payment of the costs of the Improvements upon adoption of a resolution by the City Council
determining that the application of the special assessments for such purpose will not cause the
City to no longer be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.1, Subdivision 1.

and there shall be credited to the separate subaccounts of the Debt Service Account:
(i) Improvements Debt Service Subaccount. To the Improvements Debt Service
Subaccount there shall be credited: (A) all collections of special assessments herein
covenanted to be levied with respect to the Improvements and either initially credited to the
Construction Account and not already spent as permitted above and required to pay any
principal and interest due on the Improvement Portion of the Bonds or collected subsequent to
the completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof; (B) a pro rata share of all
accrued interest received upon delivery of the Bonds; (C) capitalized interest in the amount of $-
0-; (D) any collections of all taxes herein or hereafter be levied for the payment of the
Improvement Portion of the Bonds and interest thereon; (E) a pro rata share of all funds
remaining in the Construction Account after completion of the Improvement Project and
payment of the costs thereof; (F) all investment earnings on funds held in the Improvements
Debt Service Subaccount; and (G) any and all other moneys which are properly available and
are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Improvements Debt Service
Subaccount. The Improvements Debt Service Subaccount shall be used solely to pay the
principal and interest and any premium for redemption of the Improvement Portion of the Bonds
and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made
payable from said subaccount as provided by law
(ii) CIP Debt Service Subaccount. To the CIP Debt Service Subaccount there shall
be credited: (A) all taxes herein and hereafter levied for the payment of the CIP Portion of the
Bonds; (B) any collections of all taxes heretofore levied for the payment of the Prior Bonds and
interest therein which are not used to pay the Prior Bonds as a result of the Refunding; (C) a pro
rata share of all accrued interest received upon delivery of the Bonds; (D) a pro rata share of all
funds remaining in the Construction Account after completion of the CIP Project and payment of
the costs thereof; (E) any sums remitted to the City upon the termination of the Escrow
Agreement; (F) all investment earnings on funds held in the CIP Debt Service Subaccount; and
(G) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the
governing body of the City to the CIP Debt Service Subaccount. The CIP Debt Service
Subaccount shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for
redemption of the CIP Portion and the Refunding Portion of the Bonds.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire
higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire
higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds
are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the above in
an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000.
To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the
Construction Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to
pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts
which under then applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to
yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by
said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable
"temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations.
Money in the Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or
insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that
such investment would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of
Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

of the cost to the City of each Improvement financed by the Improvement Portion of the Bonds

special assessments to be levied against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land
benefited by any of the Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all
construction contracts not heretofore let within one year after ordering each Improvement by the

different time limit for the letting of construction contracts. The City hereby further covenants
and agrees that it will do and perform as soon as they may be done all acts and things
necessary for the final and valid levy of the special assessments, and in the event that any
special assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land
due to any error, defect, or irregularity in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by the
City, either in the making of the special assessments or in the performance of any condition
precedent thereto, the City will forthwith do all further acts and take all further proceedings as
may be required by law to make the special assessments valid and binding liens upon the
properties. The special assessments have heretofore been authorized. Subject to such
adjustments as are required by the conditions in existence at the time the special assessments
are levied, it is hereby determined that the special assessments shall be payable in equal,
consecutive, annual installments, with general taxes for the years shown below and with interest

holders of the Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its
obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by irrevocably depositing with
the Bond 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 Bond Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the

Reimbursement Expenditures not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or 5% of the proceeds of

each Reimbursement Expenditure shall and will be made forthwith following (but not prior to) the
issuance of the Bonds and in all events within the period ending on the date which is the later of
three years after payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure or one year after the date on
which the Project to which the Reimbursement Expenditure relates is first placed in service.
(d) Each such reimbursement allocation will be made in a writing that evidences the
City's use of Bond proceeds to reimburse the Reimbursement Expenditure and, if made within
30 days after the Bonds are issued, shall be treated as made on the day the Bonds are issued.
Provided, however, that the City may take action contrary to any of the foregoing
covenants in this paragraph upon receipt of an opinion of its Bond Counsel for the Bonds stating
in effect that such action will not impair the tax-exempt status of the Bonds.

Bonds. The City hereby agrees, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"),
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the
