June 8, 2020 5

maturity to be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial

plus accrued interest.
Section 2. Registration and Payment.
2.01. Registered Form. The Bonds will be issued only in fully registered form.
The interest thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal amount thereof, is
payable by check or draft issued by the Registrar described herein.
2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last
interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond
has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an
interest payment date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, in
which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of
authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case the Bond will be
dated as of the date of original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on
February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2021, to the registered
owners of record thereof as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the
immediately preceding month, whether or not that day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent,
authenticating agent and paying agent (the "Registrar"). The effect of registration and
the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust
office a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of
Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered,
transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly
endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner
thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar
will 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. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any
transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and
until that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the
registered owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more
new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity as requested by the
registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will
be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the
City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to
the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the
June 8, 2020 6
City Council Meeting Minutes
Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of
transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The
Registrar will 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 a Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute
owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is 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 payments so made to the registered owner or upon the registered owner's
order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge
upon the owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of Bonds, sufficient to reimburse the
Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect
to the transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes
mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like
amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for a 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 and as
provided by law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees.
Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of
such cancellation must 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
is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for
redemption, notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the
Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to
the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the
registration books kept by the Registrar and by publishing the notice if required by law.
Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect
therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds so
called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date,
provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that
time.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services
Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City
Manager are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the
Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the
resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such
business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City
agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services
June 8, 2020 7
City Council Meeting Minutes
performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon thirty (30) days'
notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the
predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the
successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On
or before each principal or interest due date, without further order of the City Council, the
City Manager must transmit to the Registrar monies sufficient for the payment of all
principal and interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared
under the direction of the City Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the
signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that those signatures may be
printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose
signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such
officer before the delivery of a Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid
and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until
delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a
certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual
signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication
on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed
certificate of authentication on a Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been
authenticated and delivered under this resolution. When the Bonds have been so
prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Manager will deliver the same to the
Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale
heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the
application of the purchase price.
Section 3. Form of Bond.
3.01. Execution of the Bonds. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in
substantially the form as attached hereto as EXHIBIT B.
3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Manager is directed to obtain a copy

Minnesota, and to cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany each Bond.

Improvement Bonds, Series 2020B Debt Service Fund (the "Debt Service Fund") hereby

June 8, 2020

Fund") to be used solely to defray expenses of the Improvements and the payment of
principal of and interest on the Bonds prior to the completion and payment of all costs of
the Improvements. Any balance remaining in the Construction Fund after completion of
the Improvements may be used to pay the cost in whole or in part of any other

levy of the Assessments is hereby authorized. The City Council will cause to be taken
with due diligence all further actions that are required for the construction of each
Improvement financed wholly or partly from the proceeds of the Bonds, and will take all
further actions necessary for the final and valid levy of the Assessments and the
appropriation of any other funds needed to pay the Bonds and interest thereon when
due.
(b) In the event of any current or anticipated deficiency in
Assessments and Taxes, the City Council will levy additional ad valorem taxes in the
amount of the current or anticipated deficiency.
(c) The City will keep complete and accurate books and records

of and interest on the Bonds, there is levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax
upon all of the taxable property in the City, which will be spread upon the tax rolls and
collected with and as part of other general taxes of the City. The Taxes will be credited
to the Debt Service Fund above provided and will be in the years and amounts as
attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.
4.05. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of principal of and

to pay the same, the City Manager is directed to pay such principal or interest from the
general fund of the City, and the general fund will be reimbursed for those advances out
of the proceeds of Assessments and Taxes when collected.
4.06. Certification to County Auditor as to Debt Service Fund Amount. It is
hereby determined that the estimated collections of Assessments and the foregoing
Taxes will produce at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to meet
when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levy herein
provided for the Bonds is irrepealable until all of the Bonds are paid, provided that at the
time the City makes its annual tax levies the Finance Director may certify to the Director
of Property Records and Revenue of Ramsey County, Minnesota (the "County Auditor")
the amount available in the Debt Service Fund to pay principal and interest due during
the ensuing year, and the County Auditor will thereupon reduce the levy collectible
during such year by the amount so certified.
4.07. Certificate of County Auditor as to Registration. The City Manager is
authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor
and to obtain the certificate required by Section 475.63 of the Act.
