Certification of Proceedings. The officers of the City and the County Auditors of Hennepin and Ramsey Counties are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and to Dorsey & Whitney LLP, Bond Counsel to the City, certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates and information as may be required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bonds as the same appear from the books and records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein. 6.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of the Bonds that it will not take or pen -nit 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 Regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Regulations"), as such are enacted or promulgated and in effect on the date of issue of the Bonds, and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become subject to taxation under such Code and Regulations. The Improvements are public improvements available for use by members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The City will not enter into any lease, use agreement or other contract respecting the Improvements which would cause the Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or "private loan bonds" pursuant to Section 141 of the Code. 6.04. Arbitrage Rebate. The City shall take such actions as are required to comply with the arbitrage rebate requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of Section 148(f) of the Code. 6.05. Investment of Money on Deposit in the Bond Fund. The Finance Director shall ascertain monthly the amount on deposit in the Bond Fund. If the amount on deposit therein ever exceeds the aggregate amount of principal and interest due and payable from the Bond Fund through the next following February 1 plus a reasonable carryover as permitted by the Regulations, such excess shall be used to prepay and redeem Bonds or be invested at a yield less than or equal to the yield on the Bonds, based upon their amounts, maturities and interest rates on their date of issue, computed by the actuarial method. The City reserves the right to amend the provisions of this Section at any time, whether prior to or after the delivery of the Bonds, if and to the extent that this Council determines that the provisions of this Section are not necessary in order to ensure that the Bonds are not "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and Regulations.
