COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 24, 2000
Staff noted the proposals are in line with salaries paid in comparable communities and they can
be funded within the Fire Department's 2000 operating budget.
Staff requested Council approval for both proposals.
Council Member Dahl moved to approve proposal to increase Fire Chief's annual salary by 5%,

Consideration of Non-union Salary Adjustments, Dan Tesch — Staff advised the City
maintains a six (6) step program for the non-union and most union employees. Annual Cost of

PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT REPORT, DAVE PECCHIA

used Otter Lake Animal Control Center as its contract holder for the past four -(4) years. The

subdivision of the property on the r of Birch Street and Centerville Road. The
site is approximately 40 acres =r zone Rural. The existing land use map indicates the
site as rural. The draft corn guides the property for rural development through
2010 and low/mediu sit idential on the western edge and commercial on the eastern

is case involves a request for a minor
A single family home is under construction on the north/west corner of the parcel. A brother and
sister who have had some difficulty deciding how to split the parcel equitably jointly own the
property. However, after much negotiation they have agreed on the submitted plan that would
split the site into two (2) parcels. Parcel A would contain 15 acres and contain the home
currently under construction. Parcel B would contain 24.9 acres. Both parcels will meet the
Zoning Ordinance requirement calling for a minimum of 10 acres and 330' of lot frontage.
Staff recommended approval of the subdivision based on conditions.
Council Member Carlson asked how much of Parcel B can be developed. She noted it cannot be
developed until after 2010. Staff advised they are unaware of how much of Parcel B can be
developed due to wetlands. If the proposed Comprehensive Plan is approved, development
cannot occur until after 2010. The property is zoned for commercial and multi -family. The
COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 24, 2000
proposed plan shows the north/east as commercial and the rest of it low to medium density
residential. The applicant is aware they cannot develop the parcel until after 2010 if the proposed
plan is approved.
Council Member Dahl moved to approve minor subdivision based on the following conditions:
1. An additional 27' of right-of-way for Centerville Road shall be dedication to
Anoka County along the easterly border of the parcel.
2. The single family home currently under construction on the westerly parcel
must connect to City water with the understanding that there is a deferred assessment
on the balance of the property payable upon future development of the site. This
deffered assessment shall also apply to the newly created Parcel B and is payable
upon future development of that site. NOTE: The Council previously approved a site
plan review to allow a home to be moved onto this parcel with the above-mentioned
condition. After moving the home on to the site, the applicant decided to abort that
plan and construct a new dwelling.

Kay Wyland — Staff advised Mr. To ��.. >� is the owner of two (2) parcels of property in
the south/west corner of the City. nt . ins 2.47 acres and a single family home.
Parcel 2A contains 2.82 acres ti tr to is .29 acres. The City's Zoning Ordinance requires
a minimum of 10 acres as t • rt; Zoned Rural, guided rural in the existing land use plan
and located outside thUS `° ' •undary. However, both parcels are considered pre-existing
non -conforming lots o e vacant parcel is buildable as it exists. The draft
comprehensive plan gu t area for residential and the specific parcels for medium density
residential.
Mr. McDonough is asking for a minor subdivision that would allow the sale of the existing home
on a one acre lot with the combination of the balance of the site and potential sale of that parcel
as a 4.24 +/- acre parcel. The surrounding property is described as follows:
East side
North side
South side
West side
- one 39,000 sq. ft. lot with a SF home, unsewered
- three 45,000 sq. ft. lots with SF homes, unsewered
- sewered residential development in Shoreview
- large wetland adjacent to sewered residential development
in Circle Pines
A feasibility study was prepared by the City in 1997 to determine the cost of extending utilities to
this property and others on Baldwin Lake Road. At that time 34 units were proposed for this site
6
•
COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 24, 2000
leading to the multi -family designation on the draft comprehensive plan. No action has been
taken on this utility extension and that anticipated sale fell through. It would be cost prohibitive
to extend utilities to this property without a substantial redevelopment of the site.
The Zoning Ordinance provides "Habitable single family homes constructed prior to July 13,
1992, may reduce their lot size to a minimum of one (1) acre if the balance of the property results
in a parcel of 10 acres, or is serviced by public sewer...". Although this division will not create a
parcel 10 acres in size, it will provide a larger parcel than currently exists which is more in
keeping with the intent of the ordinance.
Granting approval to the minor subdivision will require approval of a variance for lot size. Staff
believes this is a unique situation not created by the property owner that will fit the variance
criteria listed below.
In considering all requests for a variance or appeal and in taking subsequent action, the City shall
make a finding of fact:
1. That the property in question cannot be put to a e if used under
conditions allowed by the official controls.
2. That the plight of the landowners is ysi ircumstances unique to
his property not created by the landow

5. That p `s posed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
ordinance.
In response to the criteria above, staff commented that this minor subdivision would create a lot
for the existing home that is the same size as the adjoining properties and would bring the vacant
parcel closer compliance to the existing provisions of the ordinance. The current lot
configuration was created at a time when the minimum lot size was something less than 10 acres.
That situation is unique in relation to today's requirements. The hardship arises from the lot
configuration and unavailability of utilities. No special privilege is being extended, this item was
reviewed on a stand along basis and determined unique to the property in question. The spirit
and intent of the ordinance is to allow existing homes, construction prior to 1994, to subdivide
down to 1 acre and allow for future redevelopment in an appropriate manner.
Staff also noted, the applicant has had a septic designer inspect the property and determined an
alternate site for a system should the existing one fail.
COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 24, 2000
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of this minor subdivision and variance
on a 7/0 vote based on conditions. Staff also recommended approval.
Council Member Carlson referred to the minutes of the January 12, 2000, Planning and Zoning
Board regarding splitting the lot. She suggested a condition be added to approval relating to the
Comprehensive Plan showing the area as R-1.
Staff advised this issue has been discussed with the property owner. The area is currently shown
as multi -family because of a pending purchase that fell through. The property owner is agreeable
to changing the designation on the draft plan to R-1.
Staff expressed concern regarding taking formal action with the draft plan.
The City Attorney agreed it is inappropriate to take formal action on a draft plan.
Council Member Carlson noted it was understood at the Planning and oard meeting that
the designation would be changed.
Mayor Bergeson stated he does not believe Council should i
happen in the Comprehensive Plan. He clarified that th
applicant was not resizing one lot.
Staff added the variance is for the four -(4 perty.

following conditions:
1.
The applicant provides a current survey of the two -(2) new parcels. The lot
containing the dwelling shall be one acre in size with 227' of lot frontage and
configured as indicated on sketch B that is attached. The vacant parcel shall be
combined into one 4+ -acre parcel.
2. The applicant shall provide documentation that there is an alternate site for a
septic system on the existing home site should the existing system fail.
3. Park Dedication shall be required for any new construction on the largest

COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 24, 2000
Council Member Dahl seconded the motion.
Council Member O'Donnell expressed concern regarding setting a precedence if approved. The
City Attorney advised a precedence would not be set. Each application needs to be dealt with
individually.
Staff noted the lots will not have City utilities. The area will utilize septic systems for some
time.
Mayor Bergeson stated he believes the condition regarding the draft Comprehensive Plan is
inappropriate. The applicant has the right to subdivide without changing the draft plan.
Council Member Dahl asked how to make the change in the plan without it being a condition of
approval. Staff advised they have a list of areas that need further consideration relating to the
plan. The Council will review these areas.
Council Member O'Donnell expressed concern about the impact o

conform to MnDOT's specifications/limits for concrete placement within 30 minutes of
production. This location will provide quick access, reduce traffic conflicts with hauling trucks,
eliminate the need for Shafer to dismantle and relocate their plan during resurfacing, and provide
timely completion of the project. They have signed a lease agreement with the property owner.
In review of this item, staff concluded that an interim use permit may be the appropriate vehicle
to facilitate this proposal. The property is Zoned LB, Limited Business and is the only LB
District within the City.
Staff also proposed an Ordinance Text Amendment that would add "Temporary Concrete Batch
Plant" as an Interim Use within the Limited business Zoning District.
COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 24, 2000
The City Engineer and the Environmental Board have reviewed this request and their reports are
attached. The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on January 12, 2000, for the text
amendment and interim use permit. The conditions of approval reflect the concerns and
comments of staff and the Planning and Zoning Board.
Staff recommended approval of the Interim Use Permit to Shafer Contracting for a Temporary
Concrete Batch Plat at 7504 Lake Drive based on conditions.
Council Member Carlson noted the project is short term depending upon weather conditions.
Mayor Bergeson asked if the interim use permit can be approved before the second reading is
approved. Staff advised a condition of approval is approval of the second reading prior to the
work beginning.
The City Attorney advised he is comfortable with the Council passing the item as presented.

FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 02 — 2000, Amend Zoning Ordinance to add Exterior
Storage as a Conditional Use in the LI, Light Industrial Zoning District (4/4 Vote
Required) - Mary Kay Wyland — Staff requested the City Council consider amending the
Zoning Ordinance to add Exterior Storage as an accessory use in the Light Industrial Zoning
district with a Conditional Use Permit. The draft ordinance is attached for your information and
includes the following special provisions:
a. The storage area is landscaped and screened from view of neighboring use,
residential zoning districts and public right-of-way per Sec .S. of the Zoning
Ordinance.
b. Storage area is fenced in a manner approv

f. The se` shall not abut property zoned for residential, rural, or business
use, includin and in a neighboring city. "Abutting" includes across the street.
"Abutting" does not include properties that touch only corner -to -corner.
g. The property shall not abut I -35W or I -35E.
h. The storage area shall not abut a school or a public park.
i. The ratio of storage area to building footprint shall not exceed 3.5:1.
j. Storage shall not include material considered hazardous under Federal of State
Environment Law.
Staff advised outdoor storage as an accessory use was originally a part of the Zoning Ordinance
in this section but was deleted when the City adopted Ordinance No. 31 — 97 which made open
COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 24, 2000
and outdoor storage an interim use in the LI Zoning District, when the storage is a principle use.
This action was taken to facilitate the exterior storage for Molin Concrete as an interim use.
Staff indicated they believe it should remain in the ordinance as a conditional use when it is
accessory to the principle use.
The City's Economic Development Advisory Board has concurred with the staff
recommendation and the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on January 12, 2000,
to review the amendment. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended some additional
conditions which have been added to the Ordinance and moved approval of the text amendment
on 7/0.
Council Member Dahl asked about the difference between the ordinance written in July, 1997,
and this ordinance. Staff advised the 1997 ordinance did not include the provision E through J
from above. The special provisions for all accessory storage have been enhanced. Staff advised
the deletion of accessory storage with a conditional use permit was an over site and not
intentional.

new ordinance.
Council Member Dahl suggested the item be tabled and discussed at the next work session.
Staff advised the land transaction cannot be completed until all City approvals are received. The
timeline for the purchase agreement is March 15, 2000. Staff added they believe the City is
getting a better ordinance with the amendment.
Council Member Carlson asked about the other Light Industrial parks within the City. She stated
the City should put an ordinance before the business. She referred to the minutes from the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting regarding changing the ratio of storage.

COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 24, 2000
Staff advised the amendment will affect both Light Industrial parks within the City. There may
be future areas zoned Light Industrial that would also be affected.
Staff advised Council can approve the first reading and deny the second reading if time is an
issue. The City Attorney advised that legally the City has no obligation to approve the second
reading if the first reading is approved. The amendment can also be refined between the two -(2)
readings.
Council Member Carlson indicated she cannot support this item at this time. She requested more
discussion at the work session.
The City Attorney advised the ordinance can be changed without going through the entire City
process again. No further publication is necessary. There are currently restraints on the Council
because the Council is short.
Mayor Bergeson stated the City must have a written agreement from t �. t regarding an
extension if the item is tabled.
Mayor Bergeson called for a short break at 8:38 p.m.

Authority held a public hearing regarding a proposed $110,200 business subsidy in the form of
Tax Increment Financing to H & L Mesabi for the construction of a 15,000 square foot facility in
the Apollo Business Park.
A new state statute requires that a public entity — in this case the EDA — finds that the granting of
a subsidy meets the best interests of the City. As required by state statute, the Council is required
to also approve the subsidy.
This subsidy is to write down a portion of the cost of land and assessments on the project
according to the terms of a development agreement.
Staff recommended approval of the business subsidy for H & L Mesabi. It was noted that the
approval is continent upon project approval.
Council Member Carlson moved to approval the business subsidy for H & L Mesabi, as
presented. Council Member O'Donnell seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

meeting, Council approved the rezoning of less than one (1) acre of land from R-1 to R-3. The
purpose was to allow the Highland Meadows developer to move the location of one (1) four -(4)

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 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 a registered owner or upon the 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.
BMB-167651
LN140-68
(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 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 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.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints U.S. Bank Trust National
Association, Saint Paul, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Clerk -
Treasurer 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 performed. The City reserves the right to
remove the Registrar upon 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 this Council, the City must transmit to the
Registrar moneys 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 Clerk -Treasurer and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the
Mayor and the City Clerk -Treasurer; provided, that all 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 any 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
each 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 will
deliver the same to the order of 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.
2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed definitive Bonds
one or more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the form set forth in Section 3 with such
changes as may be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a single temporary bond. Upon
the execution and delivery of definitive Bonds the temporary Bonds will be exchanged therefor and
cancelled.

net revenues and will be transferred from time to time, to a General Obligation Water Utility
Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1999B Debt Service Fund (the "Debt Service Fund") hereby
created in the Water Fund, which fund will be used only to pay principal of and interest on the

Fund a sufficient amount to pay principal of and interest on all the Bonds, and the City Clerk -
Treasurer will report any current or anticipated deficiency in the Debt Service Fund to the City
Council.

the County Auditor of Anoka County and to obtain the certificate required by Section 475.63 of the
Act.

and agreements:
(a) The City will continue to maintain and efficiently operate the water system
as a public utility and convenience free from competition of other like utilities and will
cause all revenues therefrom to be deposited in bank accounts and credited to the water

4.05. Prior Resolution Pledges. The pledges and covenants of the City made by the
resolution awarding the sale of the Refunded Bonds (the "Prior Resolution") relating to the
ownership, protection of and other particulars governing the operation and financial management of
the municipal water system and the improvements thereto financed by the Bonds and the Refunded
Bonds are restated and confirmed in all respects. The provisions of the Prior Resolution are hereby
supplemented to the extent necessary to give full effect to the provisions of this resolution.
Section 5. Refunding; Findings; Redemption of Refunded Bonds.
5.01. It is hereby found and determined that based upon information presently available
from the City's financial advisers, the issuance of the Bonds will result in a reduction of debt
service or interest cost to the City on the Refunded Bonds as follows:
Net Effective Refunded Refunding
Interest Rate Bonds Bonds
6.656% 4.822%
The dollar value of such debt service or interest cost savings (the "Reduction") is $ 22, 367.50 ,
and the present value of the Reduction is $ 18, 249.34 . The dollaramount of the Reduction
is 3.104 % of the *debt service iimlortatxosatf on the Refunded Bonds. The Reduction, after
the inclusion of all authorized expenses of refunding in the computation of the effective interest rate
on the Bonds, is adequate to authorize the issuance of the Bonds as provided by Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.67, Subdivision 12.
5.02. It is necessary to purchase from Bond proceeds investment securities required to
fund the Escrow Account pursuant to this Resolution. Springsted Incorporated, as agent for the
City is hereby authorized and directed to purchase (or to cause the Escrow Agent to purchase) for
and on behalf of the City and in its name, appropriate securities to fund the Escrow Account. Upon
the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the securities so purchased will be deposited with the
Escrow Agent and held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and this Resolution. As of
the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds the proceeds of the Bonds (the "Proceeds"), in
the amount of $ 676,472.47 together with other funds (the "Funds") in the amount of
$ -0- are hereby appropriated for such purpose as will be necessary to pay the principal
of, interest on and redemption premium (if any) on the Refunded Bonds to their maturity or the date
on which they are called for redemption, whichever date is earlier, less necessary expenses of the
issuance of the Bonds and less any amount of Proceeds in excess of $ 674,560 required to
be deposited in the Debt Service Fund, are hereby pledged and appropriated and will be deposited

in an escrow account (the "Escrow Account") with U.S. Bank Trust National Association, Saint
Paul, Minnesota, a suitable financial institution within the state, whose deposits are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, whose combined capital and surplus is not less than
$500,000 and said financial institution is hereby designated escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") for
such Proceeds and Funds. The Proceeds and Funds will be invested in securities maturing or
callable at the option of the holder on such dates and bearing interest at such rates as will be
required to provide sufficient funds, together with any cash or other funds retained in the Escrow
Account, to pay when due the interest to accrue on each of the Refunded Bonds at maturity or on
the date on which it is called as herein provided and to pay the principal amount of each such
obligation at maturity or on the date on which it has been called for redemption and to pay any
premium required for redemption on such date. The monies in the Escrow Account will be used
solely for the purposes herein set forth and for no other purpose, except that if any surplus will
remain in the Escrow Account after all of the Refunded Bonds and interest (and any premium)
thereon are paid, then such balance will be transferred to the City.
5.03. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will 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 (i) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are
needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued, and (ii) 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 Debt Service Fund (or
any other City account which will be used to pay principal and interest to become due on the
Bonds) in excess of amounts which under the applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be
invested without regard as to yield will not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield
restrictions imposed by the arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any
applicable temporary periods or minor portion made available under the federal arbitrage
regulations. In addition, the proceeds of the Bonds and money in the Fund will 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").
5.04. It is hereby found and determined that the Proceeds and Funds available and
appropriated to the Escrow Account will be sufficient, together with the permitted earnings on the
investment of the Escrow Account, to pay interest on the Bonds to and including February 1, 2001
and to pay on February 1, 2001, all of the principal of, interest on and redemption premium (if any)
on the Refunded Bonds.
5.05. Securities purchased from the monies in the Escrow Account will be limited to
securities specified in Section 475.67, Subdivision 8 of the Act. Springsted Incorporated, as agent
for the City is hereby authorized and directed to purchase (or to cause the Escrow Agent to
purchase) for and on behalf of the City and in its name, appropriate securities to fund the Escrow
BMB-167651
LN140-68
Account. Upon the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the securities so purchased will be
deposited with the Escrow Agent and held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the
Resolution.
5.06. The Refunded Bonds maturing on February 1, 2002 and thereafter will be redeemed
and prepaid on February 1, 2001. The Refunded Bonds will be redeemed and prepaid in
accordance with their terms and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the forms
of Notice of Call for Redemption attached to the Escrow Agreement, which terms and conditions
are hereby approved and incorporated herein by reference. The City Clerk -Treasurer is hereby
authorized and directed to forthwith publish the Notice of Call for Redemption in a publication
qualified under Section 475.54 of the Act and to send written notices of call to the paying agent for
the Refunded Bonds, provided that published notice alone will be effective.
5.07. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal and
interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing powers
of the City will be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Escrow Account or
Debt Service Fund is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds and
any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency will be promptly paid out of monies in the
general fund of the City which are available for such purpose, and such general fund may be
reimbursed with or without interest from the Escrow Account or Debt Service Account when a
sufficient balance is available therein.
5.08. Escrow Agreement. On or prior to the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, the Mayor
and the City Clerk -Treasurer are hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the City an
escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") with the Escrow Agent in substantially the form now
on file with the City. All essential terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, including
payment by the City of reasonable charges for the services of the Escrow Agent, are hereby
approved and adopted and made a part of this resolution, and the City covenants that it will
promptly enforce all provisions thereof in the event of default thereunder by the Escrow Agent.
Section 6. Authentication of Transcript.
6.01. The officers of the City are authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the
Purchaser and to the attorneys approving the Bonds, certified copies of proceedings and records of
the City relating to the Bonds and to the financial condition and affairs of the City, and such other
certificates, affidavits and transcripts as may be required to show the facts within their knowledge
or as shown by the books and records in their custody and under their control, relating to the
validity and marketability of the Bonds and such instruments, including any heretofore furnished,

issuance and sale of the Bonds and that to the best of their knowledge and belief the Official
Statement is a complete and accurate representation of the facts and representations made therein as
of the date of the Official Statement.
Section 7. Tax Covenants.
7.01. The City covenants and agrees with the holders 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 which
would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in
effect at the time of such actions, and that it will take or cause its officers, employees or agents to
take, all affirmative action within its power that may be necessary to ensure that such interest will
not become subject to taxation under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, as presently
existing or as hereafter amended and made applicable to the Bonds.
7.02. (a) The City will comply with requirements necessary under the Code to establish
and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the
Code, including without limitation requirements relating to temporary periods for investments,
limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds, and the rebate of
excess investment earnings to the United States if the Bonds (together with other obligations
reasonably expected to be issued in calendar year 1999) exceed the small -issuer exception amount
of $5,000,000.
(b) For purposes of qualifying for the small issuer exception to the federal arbitrage
rebate requirements, the City finds, determines and declares that the aggregate face amount of all
tax-exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all subordinate entities
of the City) during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued and outstanding at one time is
not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(C) of
the Code, and further finds, determines and declares that the aggregate amount of all tax-exempt
bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City in 1992 (the year the Refunded Bonds
were issued) did not exceed $5,000,000, and that the average maturity date of the Bonds is not later
than the average maturity date of the Refunded Bonds.
7.03. The City further covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to cause or
permit them or any of them to be used, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be "private
activity bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.
7.04. In order to qualify the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the
meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City makes the following factual statements and
representations:
BMB-167651
LN 140-68
(a) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" as defined in Section 141 of the
Code;
(b) the City hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations"
for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds, that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) which will be issued by the
City (and all subordinate entities of the City) during calendar year 1999 will not exceed
$10,000,000; and
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar
year 1999 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
7.05. The City will use its best efforts to comply with any federal procedural requirements
which may apply in order to effectuate the designations made by this section.
Section 8. Book -Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
8.01. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of a separate single typewritten or
printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section 1.03 hereof. Upon initial
issuance, the ownership of each Bond will be registered in the registration books kept by the Bond
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York,
New York, and its successors and assigns ("DTC"). Except as provided in this section, all of the
outstanding Bonds will be registered in the registration books kept by the Bond Registrar in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
8.02. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the Bond
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Bond Registrar and the
Paying Agent will have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other
financial institutions from time to time for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository
(Participants) or to any other person on behalf of which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds,
including but not limited to any responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the
records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds,
(ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person (other than a registered owner of Bonds, as
shown by the registration books kept by the Bond Registrar), of any notice with respect to the
Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any Participant or any other
person, other than a registered owner of Bonds, of any amount with respect to principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The City, the Bond Registrar and the Paying Agent may
treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration books kept
by the Bond Registrar as the holder and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of
principal, premium and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers

•
with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes. The Paying Agent will pay all principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or on the order of the respective registered
owners, as shown in the registration books kept by the Bond Registrar, and all such payments will
be valid and effectual to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
No person other than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown in the registration books kept by the
Bond Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of this resolution. Upon
delivery by DTC to the City of a written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a
new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the words "Cede & Co.," will refer to such new nominee of
DTC; and upon receipt of such a notice, the City will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the
Bond Registrar and Paying Agent.
8.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a
Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations (the "Representation Letter"), which will govern payment
of, premium, if any,and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds. Any Paying
Agent or Bond Registrar subsequently appointed by the City with respect to the Bonds will agree to
take all action necessary for all representations of the City in the Representation Letter with respect
to the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent, respectively, to be complied with at all times.
8.04. Transfers Outside Book -Entry System. In the event the City, by resolution of the
City Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial interests in
the Bonds that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the City will notify DTC, whereupon DTC
will notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event the
City will issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC and any other
registered owners in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. DTC may determine to
discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City
and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event, if no
successor securities depository is appointed, the City will issue and the Bond Registrar will
authenticate Bond certificates in accordance with this resolution and the provisions hereof will
apply to the transfer, exchange and method of payment thereof.
8.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to
the contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and notices with
respect to the Bond will be made and given, respectively in the manner provided in DTC's
Operational Arrangements, as set forth in the Representation Letter.
Section 9. Continuing Disclosure.
9.01. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the
provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Resolution, failure of the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate is not to be

LN140-68
considered an event of default with respect to the Bonds; however, any Bondholder may take such
actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by
court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under this section.
9.02. "Continuing Disclosure Certificate" means that certain Continuing Disclosure
Certificate executed by the Mayor and City Clerk -Treasurer and dated the date of issuance and
delivery of the Bonds, as originally executed and as it may be amended from time to time in
accordance with the terms thereof.
