• <br />• <br />REGISTRAR <br />The City will name the registrar, which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. <br />The City will pay for the services of the registrar. <br />OPTIONAL REDEMPTION <br />The Bonds will not be subject to payment in advance of their respective stated maturity <br />dates. <br />SECURITY AND PURPOSE <br />The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full <br />faith and credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition, the City <br />will pledge net revenues of its water utility. The proceeds will be used to refund the <br />February 1, 2008 through February 1, 2012 maturities of the City's General Obligation <br />Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1996B, dated October 1, 1996. <br />TYPE OF PROPOSALS <br />Proposals shall be for not less than $1,735,839 and accrued interest on the total <br />principal amount of the Bonds. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith <br />Deposit ( "Deposit ") in the form of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety <br />Bond in the amount of $17,450, payable to the order of the City. If a check is used, it <br />must accompany the proposal. If a Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an <br />insurance company licensed to issue such a bond in the State of Minnesota, and <br />preapproved by the City. Such bond must be submitted to Springsted Incorporated <br />prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial Surety Bond must identify each <br />underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the Bonds <br />are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser is <br />required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a certified or <br />cashier's check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than <br />3:30 P.M., Central Time, on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit <br />is not received by that time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to <br />satisfy the Deposit requirement. The Deposit received from the purchaser, the amount <br />of which will be deducted at settlement and no interest will accrue to the purchaser, will <br />be deposited by the City. In the event the purchaser fails to comply with the accepted <br />proposal, said amount will be retained by the City. No proposal can be withdrawn or <br />amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the meeting of the City <br />scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date <br />without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of <br />5/100 or 1/8 of 1 %. Rates must be in level or ascending order. Bonds of the same <br />maturity shall bear a single rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No <br />conditional proposals will be accepted. <br />
