BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council of the City of Mounds View, Ramsey County,
Minnesota (the “City”) as follows:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. Statutory Authorization. The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
475, including without limitation, Section 475.521 (the “Act”) to finance certain capital
improvements under an approved capital improvement plan by the issuance of general obligation
bonds of the City payable from ad valorem taxes. Capital improvements include acquisition or
betterment of public lands, buildings or other improvements for the purpose of a city hall, library,
public safety facility and public works facilities (excluding light rail transit or any activity related
to it, or a park, road, bridge, administrative building other than a city hall, or land for any of those
activities).
1.02. Capital Improvement Plan Authorizing Issuance of Bonds. On November 14, 2016
the City held a public hearing regarding a five year capital improvement plan (the “Plan”), and
regarding issuance of bonds in the maximum principal amount of $7,500,000 to finance planned
capital improvements, all in accordance with the Act. The Plan authorizes issuance of bonds to
pay the cost of certain capital improvements identified in the capital improvement plan, including
but not limited to the acquisition and construction of a public works facility (the “Improvements”).
1.03. No Petition for a Referendum Received. The City Council has determined that no
petition for a referendum on issuance of bonds pursuant to the Plan was received by the City within
30 days after the hearing in accordance with the Act.

cost of the Improvements is approximately $6,000,000, including capitalized interest, costs of
issuance and bond discount.
496797v1 JSB MU210-244 4
1.05. Determinations of the City in Compliance with the Act. As required by the Act,
the City has determined that:
(i) the expected useful life of the Improvements will be at least 5 years; and
(ii) the amount of principal and interest due in any year on all outstanding bonds issued
by the City under the Act, including the Bonds, will not exceed 0.16% of the taxable market
value of property in the City for taxes payable in 2017.
1.06. Issuance of the Bonds. The City finds it is necessary and expedient to the sound
financial management of the affairs of the City to issue its $6,000,000 General Obligation Capital
Improvement Plan Bonds, Series 2017A (the “Bonds”) pursuant to the Act to provide financing
for the Improvements.
Section 2. Sale of Bonds.

Section 8 hereof) of the particular amount of such maturity to be prepaid. DTC will determine by
lot the amount of each participant’s interest in such maturity to be redeemed and each participant
will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in such maturity to be redeemed.
Prepayments will be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
Section 3. Registration and Payment.
3.01. 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.
3.02. 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, 2018,
496797v1 JSB MU210-244 6
to the registered owners of record thereof as of the close of business on the 15th day of the
immediately preceding month, whether or not that day is a business day.
3.03. 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 the Bonds
and the registration of transfers and exchanges of the 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 15th 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. The 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.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the
owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of the 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.
496797v1 JSB MU210-244 7
(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 any 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.
(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.
3.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services
Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Administrator
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 Finance Director must transmit
to the Registrar monies sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
3.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the
direction of the City Finance Director and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the
Mayor and the City Administrator, 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 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
496797v1 JSB MU210-244 8
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
Finance Director 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.
3.06. 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 Exhibit B
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.
Section 4. Form of Bond.
4.01. Execution of the Bonds. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
4.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Finance Director is directed to obtain a copy
of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis,
Minnesota, which is to be complete except as to dating thereof and to cause the opinion to be
printed on or accompany the Bonds.
Section 5. Payment; Security; Pledges and Covenants.
5.01. Debt Service Fund. (a) The Bonds are payable from the General Obligation Capital
Improvement Plan Bonds, Series 2017A Debt Service Fund (the “Debt Service Fund”) hereby
created, and the proceeds of the ad valorem taxes hereinafter levied are hereby pledged to the Debt
Service Fund. If a payment of principal or interest on the Bonds becomes due when there is not
sufficient money in the Debt Service Fund to pay the same, the City Finance Director will 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 the taxes levied by this resolution, when collected. There is
appropriated to the Debt Service Fund (i) capitalized interest financed from Bond proceeds, if any,
(ii) any amount over the minimum purchase price paid by the Purchaser, to the extent designated for
deposit in the Debt Service Fund in accordance with Section 2.02; (iii) except as provided in (b),
proceeds of general ad valorem taxes herein levied for the Bonds (the “Taxes”), which Taxes are
pledged to the Debt Service Fund; (iv) all investment earnings on amounts in the Debt Service Fund;
and (iv) any other funds appropriated for the payment of principal or interest on the Bonds.
(b) Construction Fund. The proceeds of the Bonds, less the appropriations made in
paragraph (a), together with any other funds appropriated for the Improvements and Taxes collected
during the construction of the Improvements will be deposited in a separate construction fund (the
“Construction Fund”) to be used solely to defray expenses of the Improvements and the payment of
496797v1 JSB MU210-244 9
principal 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 capital improvement
instituted under the Act. When the Improvements are completed and the cost thereof paid, the
Construction Fund is to be closed and subsequent collections of Taxes for the Improvements are to
be deposited in the Debt Service Fund.
5.02. Pledge of Taxes. For the purpose of paying the principal 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,
to be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general taxes of the City. The
tax will be credited to the Debt Service Fund above provided and is in the years and amounts as
follows (year stated being year of collection):
Year Levy
(See Exhibit C)
5.03. Certification to County Auditor as to Debt Service Fund Amount. It is determined
that the estimated collection of the foregoing taxes, will produce at least five percent in excess of the
amount needed to meet when due, the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levy
herein provided will be irrepealable until the Bond is paid, provided that at the time the City makes
its annual tax levies the City Finance Director may certify to the County Auditor of Ramsey County
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.
5.04. County Auditor’s Certificate as to Registration. The City Administrator is authorized
and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor and to obtain the
certificate required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.63.
5.05. Payment of Costs of Issuance. The City authorizes the Purchaser to forward the
amount of Bond proceeds allocable to the payment of issuance expenses to KleinBank,
Minneapolis, Minnesota on the closing date for further distribution as directed by the City’s
municipal adviser, Ehlers & Associates, Inc.
Section 6. Authentication of Transcript.
6.01. City Proceedings and Records. 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, will be deemed representations of the City as to the facts stated
therein.
496797v1 JSB MU210-244 10
6.02. Certification as to Official Statement. The Mayor and City Administrator are
authorized and directed to certify that they have examined the Official Statement prepared and
circulated in connection with the 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 Covenant.
7.01. Tax-Exempt Bonds. 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 and the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States (unless the City qualifies
for any exemption from rebate requirements based on timely expenditure of proceeds of the Bonds,
in accordance with the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations).
7.02. Rebate. The City will comply with requirements necessary under the Code to
establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bond under
Section 103 of the Code, including without limitation requirements relating to temporary periods

the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States.
7.03. Not Private Activity Bonds. 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. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. 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:
(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 any

$10,000,000; and
496797v1 JSB MU210-244 11

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. DTC. 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 2.03 hereof. Upon
initial issuance, the ownership of each Bond will be registered in the registration books kept by
the 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 Registrar in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
8.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the 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
(the “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 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 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 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 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
Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of this resolution. Upon
delivery by DTC to the City Administrator 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 Administrator will promptly
deliver a copy of the same to the 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
496797v1 JSB MU210-244 12
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds.
Any Paying Agent or 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 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 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. City Compliance with Provisions of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. 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 will not be 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. Execution of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”
means that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed by the Mayor and the City
Administrator 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.
9.03. Limited Continuing Disclosure. In order to qualify the Bonds for limited continuing
disclosure under paragraph (d)(2) of Securities and Exchange Commission Rules, Section 15c2-12
(the “SEC Rule”), the City makes the following factual statement and representation: as of the date
of delivery of the Bonds, the City will not be an obligated person (as defined in paragraph (f) of the
SEC Rule) with respect to more than $10,000,000 in aggregate amount of outstanding municipal
securities, including the Bonds and excluding municipal securities that were exempt from the SEC
Rule pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) thereof
496797v1 JSB MU210-244 13
Section 10. Defeasance. When all Bonds and all accrued interest thereon, have been
discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this
resolution to the holders of the Bonds will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of
the City for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in
full force and effect. The City may discharge all 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. 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 to the date of such deposit.

BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council of the City of Mounds View, Ramsey County,
Minnesota (the “City”) as follows:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. Statutory Authorization. The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
475, including without limitation, Section 475.521 (the “Act”) to finance certain capital
improvements under an approved capital improvement plan by the issuance of general obligation
bonds of the City payable from ad valorem taxes. Capital improvements include acquisition or
betterment of public lands, buildings or other improvements for the purpose of a city hall, library,

1.02. Capital Improvement Plan Authorizing Issuance of Bonds. On November 14, 2016
the City held a public hearing regarding a five year capital improvement plan (the “Plan”), and
regarding issuance of bonds in the maximum principal amount of $7,500,000 to finance planned
capital improvements, all in accordance with the Act. The Plan authorizes issuance of bonds to
pay the cost of certain capital improvements identified in the capital improvement plan, including
but not limited to the acquisition and construction of a public works facility (the “Improvements”).

for the Improvements.

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

3.03. 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:

bond register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of the Bonds
and the registration of transfers and exchanges of the Bonds entitled to be registered,
transferred or exchanged.
496797v2 JSB MU210-244 6
(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 15th 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. The 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.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the
owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of the 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 any 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
496797v2 JSB MU210-244 7
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.
3.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services
Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Administrator
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 Finance Director must transmit
to the Registrar monies sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
3.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the
direction of the City Finance Director and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the
Mayor and the City Administrator, 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 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 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
Finance Director 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.
496797v2 JSB MU210-244 8
3.06. 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 Exhibit B
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.
Section 4. Form of Bond.
4.01. Execution of the Bonds. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
4.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Finance Director is directed to obtain a copy
of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis,
Minnesota, which is to be complete except as to dating thereof and to cause the opinion to be
printed on or accompany the Bonds.
Section 5. Payment; Security; Pledges and Covenants.
5.01. Debt Service Fund. (a) The Bonds are payable from the General Obligation Capital
Improvement Plan Bonds, Series 2017A Debt Service Fund (the “Debt Service Fund”) hereby
created, and the proceeds of the ad valorem taxes hereinafter levied are hereby pledged to the Debt
Service Fund. If a payment of principal or interest on the Bonds becomes due when there is not
sufficient money in the Debt Service Fund to pay the same, the City Finance Director will 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 the taxes levied by this resolution, when collected. There is
appropriated to the Debt Service Fund (i) capitalized interest financed from Bond proceeds, if any,
(ii) any amount over the minimum purchase price paid by the Purchaser, to the extent designated for
deposit in the Debt Service Fund in accordance with Section 2.02; (iii) except as provided in (b),
proceeds of general ad valorem taxes herein levied for the Bonds (the “Taxes”), which Taxes are
pledged to the Debt Service Fund; (iv) all investment earnings on amounts in the Debt Service Fund;
and (iv) any other funds appropriated for the payment of principal or interest on the Bonds.
(b) Construction Fund. The proceeds of the Bonds, less the appropriations made in
paragraph (a), together with any other funds appropriated for the Improvements and Taxes collected
during the construction of the Improvements will be deposited in a separate construction fund (the
“Construction Fund”) to be used solely to defray expenses of the Improvements and the payment of
principal 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 capital improvement
instituted under the Act. When the Improvements are completed and the cost thereof paid, the
Construction Fund is to be closed and subsequent collections of Taxes for the Improvements are to
be deposited in the Debt Service Fund.
496797v2 JSB MU210-244 9
5.02. Pledge of Taxes. For the purpose of paying the principal 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,
to be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general taxes of the City. The
tax will be credited to the Debt Service Fund above provided and is in the years and amounts as
follows (year stated being year of collection):
Year Levy
(See Exhibit C)
5.03. Certification to County Auditor as to Debt Service Fund Amount. It is determined
that the estimated collection of the foregoing taxes, will produce at least five percent in excess of the
amount needed to meet when due, the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levy
herein provided will be irrepealable until the Bond is paid, provided that at the time the City makes
its annual tax levies the City Finance Director may certify to the County Auditor of Ramsey County
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.
5.04. County Auditor’s Certificate as to Registration. The City Administrator is authorized
and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor and to obtain the
certificate required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.63.
5.05. Payment of Costs of Issuance. The City authorizes the Purchaser to forward the
amount of Bond proceeds allocable to the payment of issuance expenses to KleinBank,
Minneapolis, Minnesota on the closing date for further distribution as directed by the City’s
municipal adviser, Ehlers & Associates, Inc.
Section 6. Authentication of Transcript.
6.01. City Proceedings and Records. 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, will be deemed representations of the City as to the facts stated
therein.
6.02. Certification as to Official Statement. The Mayor and City Administrator are
authorized and directed to certify that they have examined the Official Statement prepared and
circulated in connection with the 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.
496797v2 JSB MU210-244 10
Section 7. Tax Covenant.
7.01. Tax-Exempt Bonds. 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 and the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States (unless the City qualifies
for any exemption from rebate requirements based on timely expenditure of proceeds of the Bonds,
in accordance with the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations).
7.02. Rebate. The City will comply with requirements necessary under the Code to
establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bond 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.
7.03. Not Private Activity Bonds. 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. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. 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:
(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 any
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 2017 will not exceed
$10,000,000; and
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar
year 2017 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.

federal procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designations made by
this section.
496797v2 JSB MU210-244 11
Section 8. Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
8.01. DTC. 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 2.03 hereof. Upon
initial issuance, the ownership of each Bond will be registered in the registration books kept by
the 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 Registrar in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
8.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the 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
(the “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 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 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 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 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
Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of this resolution. Upon
delivery by DTC to the City Administrator 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 Administrator will promptly
deliver a copy of the same to the 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 principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds.
Any Paying Agent or 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 Registrar and Paying Agent, respectively, to be complied with at all times.
496797v2 JSB MU210-244 12
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 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. City Compliance with Provisions of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. 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 will not be 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. Execution of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”
means that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed by the Mayor and the City
Administrator 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.
9.03. Limited Continuing Disclosure. In order to qualify the Bonds for limited continuing
disclosure under paragraph (d)(2) of Securities and Exchange Commission Rules, Section 15c2-12
(the “SEC Rule”), the City makes the following factual statement and representation: as of the date
of delivery of the Bonds, the City will not be an obligated person (as defined in paragraph (f) of the
SEC Rule) with respect to more than $10,000,000 in aggregate amount of outstanding municipal
securities, including the Bonds and excluding municipal securities that were exempt from the SEC
Rule pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) thereof
496797v2 JSB MU210-244 13
Section 10. Defeasance. When all Bonds and all accrued interest thereon, have been
discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this
resolution to the holders of the Bonds will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of
the City for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in
full force and effect. The City may discharge all 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. 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 to the date of such deposit.
Adopted this 10th day of April, 2017.

Item No: 07C
Meeting Date: April 10, 2017
Type of Business: Council Business
City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8742 Approving a Change of Council Meeting
Start Times from 7:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
Introduction:
On January 23, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance 931 which amended the City
Code to indicate that the City Council will establish meeting times by resolution. The
ordinance is now effective thus a resolution can be brought forward for consideration. The
issue was discussed again at the March 27, 2017, City Council meeting, at which time
direction was provide to bring forth such a resolution.
Discussion:
The City Council has indicated support for shifting the start of meeting times to 6 pm rather
than 7 pm. The intent of the proposal to move the meetings up an hour was to reduce
personnel costs and get everyone home an hour earlier. A concern had been expressed
that an earlier start time may be less convenient for residents to attend, although it isn’t
often that residents are in attendance. Meetings are always available on cable replay as
well as “on demand” via web streaming, so residents are able to stay up to date on what’s
happening in the City at their leisure.
Another concern was expressed with how EDA start times would be handled. The
proposed response would be to move the EDA meetings AFTER the Council meetings
since the EDA meets rather infrequently anyway. Another approach which may make
sense, especially if there are issues of a similar nature on both the Council and EDA
agendas, would be to recess the Council at a specific point in the meeting, call the EDA
meeting to order, take action, then recess or adjourn the EDA meeting, and reconvene the
Council meeting. Sounds cumbersome but it can help the Council / EDA to operate more
efficiently since the Council wears both hats.
Recommendation:
Resolution 8742 has been prepared and is available for City Council action to change the
meeting times of Council meetings from 7 pm to 6 pm, effective May 1, 2017, through the
end of the year. Meeting times in future years would be addressed in the same resolution
used to approve the City Council meeting calendar.
Respectfully submitted,

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 932, an Ordinance
Amending Chapter 502 of the Mounds View City Code Relating
to Hours of Operation for Off-Sale Licensed Establishments
Introduction:
The Governor has signed into law legislation allowing off-sale liquor sales on Sundays,
beginning effectively July 2, 2017. The Council has discussed changing the Code to allow
for Sunday sales and expanded sales Mondays through Thursdays. The Council asked
staff to invite the three off-sale licensees to provide input or attend the April work session.
Discussion:
Staff reached out to the three off-sale licensees and invited all three to attend the April 3,
2017, work session. Only Merwin Liquors, represented by Stuart Tapper, attended the
meeting. Greg Waste from Vino & Stogies indicated that they’d probably be unable to
attend but were not opposed to the proposed changes. Mr. Tapper indicated that the
proposed changes would be beneficial to MN liquor stores as many Minnesota residents
drive over the border into other states on Sundays. Concerning the expansion of hours to
10:00 pm Mondays through Thursdays, Mr. Tapper indicated this would be a benefit to
Mounds View stores as well as a convenience to Mounds View residents, who are forced to
drive to Fridley, Spring Lake Park or Blaine to purchase alcohol after 8 pm on those days.
It was noted that the expanded hours and ability to sell on Sundays were permissive, not
mandatory. A liquor store may open later or close earlier than what is allowed in Code.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the first reading and introduction of Ordinance
932, an ordinance amending Section 502.12 of the Mounds View City Code to allow off-
sale licensees to stay open until 10 pm Mondays through Thursdays and to be open from
11 am to 6 pm on Sundays. The second reading and adoption will occur on April 24, 2017.

City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Brian Erickson, Public Works Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8741, Accepting Bids Received by the City of Coon Rapids
Joint Powers Agreement for 2017 Seal Coating of Area D
Background:
The City is about to finish the process of reconstructing the twenty six (26) miles of City-owned streets
as part of the Streets and Utilities Improvement Program (Program). The City established a pavement
maintenance plan for these streets and Area D is scheduled for a bituminous seal coat in 2017.
Area D plus Bronson Avenue between Edgewood Drive and Raymond Avenue, and County Road H2
between Program Avenue and Mounds View Boulevard will be seal coated. This area contains
approximately 3.0 miles of streets. Area D was reconstructed in 2011, and other than crack filling,
there has been no major maintenance work performed since their construction took place. To ensure
the longevity and performance of these roads, a bituminous seal coat is recommended.
Discussion:
The City entered into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with the City of Coon Rapids on February 13,
2017 (Resolution 8704) to provide routine street maintenance such as traffic marking, street
sweeping, crack sealing, and seal coating.
The City of Coon Rapids prepared plans, specifications, and bid documents using the combined
quantities of the all the members of the JPA for the 2017 Seal Coat Project and a public bid
solicitation was executed to obtain pricing. The Mounds View quantity for 2017 is 60,012 square
yards (syd).
On March 17, 2017, Coon Rapids opened bids from three qualified seal coating contractors with the
lowest bid being submitted by Pearson Bros., Inc. of Hanover, Minnesota. The bids are as follows:
Rank Contractor Total Bid (Mounds View only)
Low Pearson Bros., Inc. $76.120.36
1 Allied Blacktop Company $79,576.84
2 Asphalt Surface Technologies Corp. $84,210.24
The bid is a unit price bid meaning payment will be made based on measured quantities. The costs
provided to the JPA ($1.27/syd) are comparable to bids received in 2015 for seal coating of Areas A
through C ($1.26/syd). The 2017 budget includes funding of $150,000 to perform the proposed seal
coat work in the Street Improvement Fund (485-4470-7050).
As part of the JPA with Coon Rapids, Mounds View has a 30-day ‘opt-out’ period during which
Mounds View can completely opt out of the contract, in addition to adjusting the planned quantities.
Prior to the expiration of this 30-day period (April 15, 2017), Mounds View needs to provide either a
concurrence or an opt-out notification to Coon Rapids. Coon Rapids expects to award the contract at
their April 18, 2017 Council Meeting. Once the contractor begins work, Mounds View will inspect and
approve the work and all the invoices will come to Mounds View.
In addition, the construction cost the JPA includes an administrative fee to be paid to Coon Rapids no
later than 90 days after the contract award. This administrative fee is based on a sliding scale, and
the following table calculates the fee that will be required as part of this contract as well as the total
project cost. The administrative fee covers advertising, specification preparation, legal review and
other overhead costs that City of Mounds View staff would be required to complete if the city went out
for bids independently. This administrative fee adds approximately $0.02/syd to the cost of the
project.
Recommendation:
Public Works recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution and concur with the
award of the contract to Pearson Bros., Inc. Additionally, staff further recommends a 10%
contingency of $7,600 for quantity over-runs or additional work resulting from unknowns discovered
during construction. Finally, Council should authorize the Administrative Cost in the amount of
$1,391.81 for a construction budget not to exceed $85,112.17.

Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8743, Authorizing the Mounds View Police
Foundation to Use the Name of the Mounds View Police
Department When Soliciting Donations for Use in Supporting
the City of Mounds View and the Mounds View Police
Department
Introduction:
The City of Mounds View and the Mounds View Police Department are committed to
community outreach, education, and involvement. Recently, a group of concerned citizens
formed the Mounds View Police Foundation, a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation to solicit
funding for said community outreach, education, and involvement. The citizens desire to
use the name Mounds View Police Department and/or the City of Mounds View when
soliciting donations for this purpose.
Discussion:
As a local 501(c) 3, the Mounds View Police Foundation exists to support the Mounds View
Police Department through programs that create community partnerships which fund and
support safety initiatives, community outreach programs, expand the use of technology in
deterring and solving crime, and improve the readiness of our police department. The
Foundation is committed to providing volunteers as well as funding to make existing
outreach projects better and further develop a wonderful officer/citizen relationship in the
community. Mounds View Officers will not be utilized either on or in uniform to solicit funds
for the Foundation. To be able to reference the City of Mounds View or the Mounds View
Police Department, the City Council must first approve a resolution consenting to this
usage.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution 8743, a resolution authorizing the
Mounds View Police Foundation to use the name of the Mounds View Police Department
when soliciting donations for use in supporting the City of Mounds View and the Mounds
View Police Department.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8744, Authorizing the Dissolution of the Fire
Training Association Joint Powers Agreement (JPA)
Introduction:
In 1991, the cities of Fridley, Brooklyn Center, Spring Lake Park, Blaine and Mounds View
entered into a joint powers agreement (JPA) to form a Fire Training Association. The
purpose of this JPA was to jointly construct, use and maintain a fire training facility. The
facility is currently located on the former Columbia Arena site in Fridley.
Discussion:
As the Council may be aware, the former Columbia Arena site in Fridley is being
redeveloped and the facility’s location on that site conflicts with that redevelopment.
Instead of relocating the fire training facility, the member departments (SBM, Brooklyn
Center and Fridley Fire Departments) have decided that there is no longer a need for the
fire training facility and that the JPA and the lease agreement for the fire training facility
should be terminated.
SBM has, under direction of legal counsel, secured insurance that will cover any liability for
the Association until the buildings have been removed and the assets distributed as
outlined in the JPA. The attached resolution authorizes dissolution of the JPA and
termination of the lease and authorizes the Mayor and Administrator to sign any documents
associated with the JPA dissolution and lease termination.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 8744, a resolution authorizing the dissolution
of the Fire Training Association Joint Powers Agreement.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Brian L. Erickson, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Michael L. Richie, Public Works Project Coordinator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8740, Approving Bidding Documents and Authorizing
Advertisement for Bids for 2017 Sewer Rehabilitation Project
Background/Discussion:
The municipal sanitary sewer system is composed of approximately 45 miles of trunk sewer, 900
manholes, and 2 lift stations. The sanitary trunk sewer was largely constructed in the 1960’s and
early 1970’s using (predominately) clay pipe. The use of clay pipe during this time was the industry
standard, but more watertight pipe products (PVC) have been developed and replaced clay pipe to
become the new industry standard the last few decades. Unfortunately, the leaky clay pipe incurs
unnecessary Met Council treatment costs due to infiltration of ground water into the trunk sewer. In
general, one gallon per minute of ground water entering the system equates to $1,000 of Met
Council treatment costs annually.
Public Works has an inspection and maintenance program for the municipal sanitary sewer system.
This program includes inspecting the trunk sewer by televising and evaluating the condition of the
pipe. Defects are logged while performing inspections, including cracks in the pipe and leaking
joints. Repair and remediation of these deficiencies are incorporated into the street and utility
improvement projects as much as possible. However, there are trunk sewers not located in these
project areas, and conditions of trunk sewers in project areas can change over time.
A priority list that ranks the segments of pipe needing repair or remediation is maintained by Public
Works. A map of the 2017 sanitary sewer rehabilitation priorities is attached.
The municipal storm sewer system is composed of approximately 30 miles of trunk sewer,
1,500 storm drains/manholes, 300 infiltration basins, and 10 regional ponds. The storm trunk sewer
was largely constructed in the 1960’s and early 1970’s using (predominately) reinforced concrete
pipe.
The Public Works Department inspects the storm sewer by televising on an as-needed basis when
problems (i.e. excessive settlement of a manhole structure) are observed. Over the past several
months, the manhole structure on Edgewood Drive, in front of City Hall, has been observed to have
excessive settlement. On March 15, 2017, Public Works Staff televised the storm sewer pipes
leading into this manhole structure and observed that the rubber gaskets between the sections of
pipe were missing, leading to excessive sand infiltration into the storm sewer in this area. The area
of storm sewer to be rehabilitated is shown on the attached Figure.
Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) is a trenchless rehabilitation method used to fix pipes that are in good
condition, but have leaky joints, without the need to dig up the streets, and replace the pipe. CIPP
is a jointless, seamless, “pipe-within-a-pipe” that essentially places a hard liner inside the existing
pipe. CIPP lining is considerably less expensive than trenching and replacing pipe, and there is no
“inconvenience cost” compared to trenching methods. This is the method that will be used to
rehabilitate the sanitary and storm sewers.
The Engineering Division of Public Works has prepared plans and specifications (bid documents) in
house for use in obtaining public bids for the sanitary and storm sewer rehabilitation project. A
public bid is required since the estimated construction cost exceeds $100,000. The 2017 budget
includes $150,000 in the sanitary sewer enterprise fund and $25,000 in the storm sewer enterprise
fund for this work.
Recommendation:
Public Works recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution. If adopted, the
project will be advertised and bid in accordance with state statutes and a bid opening will be
scheduled for Thursday, May 11, 2017 at 2:00p.m. After bid opening staff will return to Council for
awarding the project (tentatively scheduled for May 22, 2017) before any construction can begin.
Respectfully submitted,
Brian L. Erickson – Public Works Director/City Engineer

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8746, Approving a Revision to the City’s Policy in
Support of Artistic Organizations
Introduction:
In 2003, the City Council adopted a policy in support of artistic organizations, consistent
with MN Statutes 471.941 (see attached Policy.) Over the years, the Policy has been used
to support the Mounds View Community Theatre (MVCT) through its use of our copy
machine.
Discussion:
In the years subsequent to Policy adoption, MVCT has requested and the City Council has
approved the use of the copy machine, as long as MVCT uses its own paper and the
copies are in black & white. Their use has been without incident or inconvenience, and the
MVCT again seeks Council support for similar usage in 2017. Given the long history with
the organization, staff is proposing an amendment to the Policy to allow for administrative
authorizations after an initial Council resolution of approval. This can be done by adding a
new clause, Section 2.3, which could read as follows:
2.3 The City Council may delegate to the City Administrator the
ability to administratively re-approve such requests which had
been previously approved by City Council resolution.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends City Council approval of Resolution 8746, a resolution revising the City
of Mounds View Policy in Support of Artistic Organizations.
Respectfully submitted,
