Councilmember Stille introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption, which motion
was seconded by Councilmember Gray:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ISSUANCE, AWARDING SALE,
PRESCRIBING THE FORM AND DETAILS AND PROVIDING FOR THE
PAYMENT OF $4,310,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION TAX INCREMENT
REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 2015B
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the Council) of the City of St. Anthony,
Minnesota (the City), as follows:
SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION AND SALE.
1.01. Authorization. It is hereby determined to be in the best interests of the City to
issue and sell its General Obligation Tax Increment Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2015B in
the aggregate principal amount of $4,310,000 (the Bonds), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
Chapters 469 and 475, the proceeds of which will be used to effect an advance refunding, on
August 1, 2016 (the Redemption Date) of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City
(the HRA) Tax Increment Revenue Bonds (Silver Lake Village Project), Series 2006, dated as of
August 1, 2006 (the Refunded Bonds) issued to finance the construction of various public
improvements within Tax Increment District No. 3-5 of the City (the District). The District is in
existence and has not been decertified, and the amount of bonded indebtedness incurred pursuant
to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the District does not exceed the amount permitted by
Subsection 2-9 thereof.
1.02. Sale. Pursuant to the Terms of Proposal and the Official Statement prepared on
behalf of the City by Ehlers & Associates, Inc., financial advisor to the City, sealed proposals for
the purchase of the Bonds were received at or before the time specified for receipt of proposals.
The proposals have been opened and publicly read and considered, and the purchase price,
interest rates and net interest cost under the terms of each proposal have been determined. The
most favorable proposal received is that of Baird, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, (the Purchaser), to
purchase the Bonds at a price of $4,387,549.81 plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of
delivery and payment on the further terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
1.03. Award. The sale of the Bonds is hereby awarded to the Purchaser, and the Mayor
and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to execute a contract on behalf of the City
for the sale of the Bonds in accordance with the terms of the proposal. The good faith deposit of
the Purchaser shall be retained and deposited by the City until the Bonds have been delivered,
and shall be deducted from the purchase price paid at settlement.
1.04. Savings. It is hereby determined that:
(a) by the issuance of the Bonds the City will realize a substantial interest rate
reduction, a gross savings of approximately $915,505.50 and a present value savings
(using the yield on the Bonds, computed in accordance with Section 148 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as the discount factor) of
approximately $919,595.37; and
(b) as of the Redemption Date, the sum of (i) the present value of the debt service on
the Bonds, computed to their stated maturity dates, after deducting any premium, using the yield
of the Bonds as the discount rate, plus (ii) any expenses of the refunding payable from a source
other than the proceeds of the Bonds or investment earnings thereon, is lower by 17.040% (not
less than 3%) than the present value of the debt service on the Refunded Bonds, computed to
their stated maturity dates, using the yield of the Bonds as the discount rate.
SECTION 2. BOND TERMS; REGISTRATION; EXECUTION AND DELIVERY.
2.01. Issuance of Bonds. All acts, conditions and things which are required by the
Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen and to be
performed precedent to and in the valid issuance of the Bonds having been done, now existing,
having happened and having been performed, it is now necessary for the City Council to
establish the form and terms of the Bonds, to provide security therefor and to issue the Bonds
forthwith.
2.02. Maturities; Interest Rates; Denominations and Payment. The Bonds shall be
originally dated as of December 29, 2015, shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each, or any
integral multiple thereof, of single maturities, shall mature on February 1 and August 1 in the
years and amounts stated below, and shall bear interest from date of issue until paid at the annual

The Bonds shall be issuable only in fully registered form. Interest shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. The interest on and, upon surrender of
each Bond, the principal amount thereof, shall be payable by check or draft issued by the
Registrar described herein; provided that, so long as the Bonds are registered in the name of a
securities depository, or a nominee thereof, in accordance with Section 2.08 hereof, principal and
interest shall be payable in accordance with the operational arrangements of the securities
depository.
2.03. Dates and Interest Payment Dates. Upon initial delivery of the Bonds pursuant to
Section 2.07 and upon any subsequent transfer or exchange pursuant to Section 2.06, the date of
authentication shall be noted on each Bond so delivered, exchanged or transferred. Interest on
the Bonds shall be payable on February 1 and August 1 in each year, commencing
February 1, 2016, each such date being referred to herein as an Interest Payment Date, to the
persons in whose names the Bonds are registered on the Bond Register, as hereinafter defined, at
the Registrar's close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month next preceding such
Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a business day.
2.04. Redemption. Bonds maturing on February 1, 2025 and later shall be subject to
redemption and prepayment at the option of the City, in whole or in part, in such order of
maturity dates as the City may select and, within a maturity, by lot as selected by the Registrar
(or, if applicable, by the securities depository in accordance with its customary procedures) in
multiples of $5,000, on February 1, 2024, and on any date thereafter, at a price equal to the
principal amount thereof and accrued interest to the date of redemption. The City shall cause
notice of the call for redemption thereof to be published as required by law, and at least 30 days
and not more than 60 days prior to the designated redemption date, shall cause notice of call for
redemption to be mailed, by first class mail, to the registered holders of any Bonds to be
redeemed at their addresses as they appear on the bond register described in Section 2.06 hereof.
No defect in or failure to give such mailed notice of redemption shall affect the validity of
proceedings for the redemption of any Bond not affected by such defect or failure. Official
notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be
redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein
specified and from and after such date (unless the City shall default in the payment of the
redemption price) such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon partial
redemption of any Bond, a new Bond or Bonds will be delivered to the owner without charge,
representing the remaining principal amount outstanding.
Bonds maturing on August 1 in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and on February 1, 2031
(the “Term Bonds”) shall be subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity pursuant to the
sinking fund requirements of this Section 2.04 at a redemption price equal to the stated principal
amount thereof plus interest accrued thereon to the redemption date, without premium. The

2.05. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City hereby appoints Bond Trust Services
Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial bond registrar, transfer agent and paying agent
(the Registrar). The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar
with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company organized under
the laws of the United States or one of the states of the United States and authorized by law to
conduct such business, such corporation shall be 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, effective upon not less than
thirty (30) days’ written notice and upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar shall deliver all cash and Bonds in its
possession to the successor Registrar and shall deliver the Bond Register to the successor
Registrar.
2.06. Registration. The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the
Registrar with respect thereto shall be as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar shall keep at its principal office a register (the Bond
Register) in which the Registrar shall provide for the registration of ownership of Bonds
and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered,
transferred or exchanged. The term Holder or Bondholder as used herein shall mean the
person (whether a natural person, corporation, association, partnership, trust,
governmental unit, or other legal entity) in whose name a Bond is registered in the Bond
Register.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender to the Registrar for transfer of any 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
shall 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 such interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. Whenever any Bonds are surrendered by the registered
owner for exchange the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds
of a like aggregate principal amount, interest rate and maturity, as requested by the
registered owner or the owner's attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered for payment, transfer or exchange shall
be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is satisfied that
the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and
that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall 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 any Bond is at any time registered in the bond register as the absolute owner
of the Bond, whether the Bond shall be 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 all payments made to any registered owner or upon the owner's order shall
be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent
of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Bonds (expect
for an exchange upon a partial redemption of a Bond), the Registrar may impose a charge
upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In case any Bond shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new Bond of like
amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of any such 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 of an
appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it, in which
both the City and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds so surrendered to
the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall 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 shall not be necessary to issue a
new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Authenticating Agent. The Registrar is hereby designated authenticating
agent for the Bonds, within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55,
Subdivision 1, as amended.
(j) Valid Obligations. All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of Bonds
shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the
same benefits under this resolution as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or
exchange.
2.07. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under the
direction of the City Manager and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the
Mayor and the City Manager, provided that the signatures may be printed, engraved or
lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of
whose signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of
any Bond, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes,
the same as if he had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, no
Bond shall 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 shall be conclusive evidence that it has been
authenticated and delivered under this resolution. When the Bonds have been prepared, executed
and authenticated, the City Manager shall deliver them to the Purchaser upon payment of the
purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore executed, and the Purchaser
shall not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
2.08. Securities Depository. (a) For purposes of this section the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
“Beneficial Owner” shall mean, whenever used with respect to a Bond, the person in
whose name such Bond is recorded as the beneficial owner of such Bond by a Participant on the
records of such Participant, or such person's subrogee.
“Cede & Co.” shall mean Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and any successor nominee
of DTC with respect to the Bonds.
“DTC” shall mean The Depository Trust Company of New York, New York.
“Participant” shall mean any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which
DTC holds Bonds as securities depository.
“Representation Letter” shall mean the Representation Letter pursuant to which the City
agrees to comply with DTC's Operational Arrangements.
(b) The Bonds shall be initially issued as separately authenticated fully registered bonds,
and one Bond shall be issued in the principal amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon
initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the bond register in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Registrar and the City may treat DTC (or its nominee)
as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment
of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be
redeemed, if any, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners of
Bonds under this resolution, registering the transfer of Bonds, and for all other purposes
whatsoever; and neither the Registrar nor the City shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Neither the Registrar nor the City shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant,
any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or any
Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the bond register as being a registered
owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any
Participant, with respect to the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount with respect to
the principal of or interest on the Bonds, with respect to any notice which is permitted or
required to be given to owners of Bonds under this resolution, or with respect to any consent
given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds. So long as any Bond is
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Registrar shall pay all principal of
and interest on such Bond, and shall give all notices with respect to such Bond, only to Cede &
Co. in accordance with DTC's Operational Arrangements, and all such payments shall be valid
and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to the principal of
and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC
shall receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of
the City to make payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of
written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of
Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in accordance with paragraph
(e) hereof.
(c) In the event the City determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners
that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of bond certificates, the City may notify DTC and
the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of
Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance
with paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect
to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and the Registrar and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be
transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.
(d) The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to DTC by the Mayor or City
Manager is hereby authorized and directed.
(e) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under paragraph (b)
or (c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar of
the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted
transferee in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. In the event Bonds in the form of
certificates are issued to owners other than Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for DTC as
owner of all the Bonds, or another securities depository as owner of all the Bonds, the provisions
of this resolution shall also apply to all matters relating thereto, including, without limitation, the
printing of such Bonds in the form of bond certificates and the method of payment of principal of
and interest on such Bonds in the form of bond certificates.

affected by such defect or failure. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid,
the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and
payable at the redemption price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the City

to bear interest. Upon partial redemption of any Bond, a new Bond or Bonds will be delivered to
the owner without charge, representing the remaining principal amount outstanding.

The City and the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is
registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of
receiving payment and for all other purposes, and neither the City nor the Registrar shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Bond, so long as this Bond is registered in
the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, or in the name of any
other nominee of The Depository Trust Company or other securities depository, the Registrar
shall pay all principal of and interest on this Bond, and shall give all notices with respect to this
Bond, only to Cede & Co. or other nominee in accordance with the operational arrangements of

IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that all acts,
conditions and things required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done,
to exist, to happen and to be performed preliminary to and in the issuance of this Bond in order
to make it a valid and binding general obligation of the City in accordance with its terms, have
been done, do exist, have happened and have been performed as so required; that the City has
established its General Obligation Tax Increment Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2015B Bond
Fund and has appropriated thereto ad valorem tax increments to be derived from the District,
which tax increments are estimated to be receivable in years and in amounts sufficient to produce
sums not less than five percent in excess of the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due,
and has appropriated tax increments to its Bond Fund for the payment of such principal and
interest; that if necessary for the payment of such principal and interest when due, ad valorem
taxes are required to be levied upon all taxable property in the City, without limitation as to rate
or amount; and that the issuance of this Bond does not cause the indebtedness of the City to
exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation of indebtedness.
This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any
security or benefit under the Resolution until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have
been executed by the Registrar by manual signature of one of its authorized representatives.

SECTION 3. USE OF PROCEEDS. Upon payment for the Bonds by the Purchaser, Bond
proceeds shall be used as follows: (a) $4,332.934.57 shall be deposited in the Escrow Account
established with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) under an Escrow
Agreement described hereunder, (b) $50,518.00 shall be applied to pay costs of issuance and (c)
$4,097.24 shall be deposited in the Bond Fund created pursuant to Section 4 hereof.
The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized to enter into an Escrow Agreement
with the Escrow Agent establishing the terms and conditions for the escrow account in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67. Funds deposited with the Escrow Agent
(other than an initial cash balance in the escrow account) are to be invested in securities
authorized for such purpose by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, subdivision 8, maturing on
such dates and bearing interest at such rates as are required to provide funds sufficient, with cash
retained in the escrow account, to pay and redeem the outstanding principal and accrued interest
on the Refunded Bonds to and including the Redemption Date (and the amounts in such account
are irrevocably appropriated to such purposes).
SECTION 4. GENERAL OBLIGATION TAX INCREMENT REVENUE REFUNDING
BONDS, SERIES 2015B BOND FUND. The Bonds shall be payable from a separate and
special General Obligation Tax Increment Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2015B Bond Fund
(the Bond Fund) of the City, which the City agrees to maintain until the Bonds have been paid in
full. If the money in the Bond Fund should at any time be insufficient to pay principal and
interest due on the Bonds, such amounts shall be paid from other moneys on hand in other funds
of the City, which other funds shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient money becomes
available in the Bond Fund. The moneys on hand in the Bond Fund from time to time shall be
used only to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Into the Bond Fund shall be paid: (a)
the amounts specified in Section 3; (b) all excess amounts on deposit in the debt service funds
maintained for the payment of the Refunded Bonds upon the retirement of the Refunded Bonds
on the Redemption Date; (c) ad valorem tax increments derived from the District to the extent
determined by the Council to be necessary, in addition to other funds appropriated to the Bond
Fund, to pay principal and interest on the Bonds when due; (d) ad valorem taxes collected in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5 hereof; and (e) any other funds appropriated by the
Council for the payment of the Bonds.
SECTION 5. PLEDGE OF TAXING POWERS. For the prompt and full payment of the
principal of and interest on the Bonds as such payments respectively become due, the full faith,
credit and unlimited taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. It is
hereby estimated that the tax increments and other funds appropriated to the Bond Fund as set
forth in Section 4 hereof will produce amounts not less than five percent in excess of the
amounts needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds, and
therefore no ad valorem taxes are required to be levied at this time. Nevertheless, if the balance
in the Bond Fund is at any time insufficient to pay all interest and principal then due on all
Bonds payable therefrom, the payment shall be made from any fund of the City which is
available for that purpose, subject to reimbursement from the Bond Fund when the balance
therein is sufficient, and the City Council covenants and agrees that it will each year levy a
sufficient amount of ad valorem taxes to take care of any accumulated or anticipated deficiency,
which levy is not subject to any constitutional of statutory limitation.
SECTION 6. DEBT SERVICE FUND BALANCE RESTRICTION. In order to ensure
compliance with the Code, and applicable Treasury Regulations (the Regulations), upon
allocation of any funds to the Bond Fund, the balance then on hand in the Fund shall be
ascertained. If it exceeds the amount of principal and interest on the Bonds to become due and
payable through February 1 next following, plus a reasonable carryover equal to 1/12th of the
debt service due in the following bond year, the excess shall (unless an opinion is otherwise
received from bond counsel) be used to prepay or purchase Bonds, or invested at a yield which
does not exceed the yield on the Bonds calculated in accordance with Section 148 of the Code.
SECTION 7. DEFEASANCE. When all of the Bonds have been discharged as provided in this
section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered owners
of the Bonds shall cease. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any 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; or, 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 from the due date to the date of such deposit. The City may also discharge
its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called for redemption on any date when
they are prepayable according to their terms, by depositing with the Registrar on or before that
date an amount equal to the principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, which are then
due, provided that notice of such redemption has been duly given as provided herein. The City
may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the
provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing
irrevocably in escrow, with a bank or trust company qualified by law as an escrow agent for this
purpose, cash or securities which are authorized by law to be so deposited, bearing interest
payable at such time and at such rates and maturing or callable at the holder's option on such
dates as shall be required to pay all principal and interest to become due thereon to maturity or
earlier designated redemption date.
SECTION 8. CERTIFICATION OF PROCEEDINGS.
8.01. Registration of Bonds. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to file
a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditors of Hennepin County and Ramsey
County and obtain certificates that the Bonds have been duly entered upon the Auditors’ bond
registers.
8.02. Authentication of Transcript. The officers of the City and the County Auditors are
hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and to Dorsey & Whitney
LLP, Bond Counsel, certified copies of all proceedings and records relating to the Bonds 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 in
their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all such certified copies, affidavits
and certificates, including any heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City
as to the correctness of all statements contained therein.
8.03. Official Statement. The Preliminary Official Statement relating to the Bonds,
dated November 24, 2015, relating to the Bonds prepared and distributed by Ehlers &
Associates, Inc., the financial advisor for the City, is hereby approved. Ehlers & Associates,
Inc., is hereby authorized on behalf of the City to prepare and distribute to the Purchaser within
seven business days from the date hereof, a supplement to the Official Statement listing the
offering price, the interest rates, selling compensation, delivery date, the underwriters and such
other information relating to the Bonds required to be included in the Official Statement by Rule
l5c2-12 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed to execute
such certificates as may be appropriate concerning the accuracy, completeness and sufficiency of
the Official Statement.
8.04. Authorization of Payment of Certain Costs of Issuance of the Bonds. The City
authorizes the Purchaser to forward the amount of Bond proceeds allocable to the payment of
issuance expenses to Klein Bank, on the closing date for further distribution as directed by the
City’s financial advisor, Ehlers & Associates, Inc.
SECTION 9. TAX COVENANTS; ARBITRAGE MATTERS; REIMBURSEMENT
AND CONTINUING DISCLOSURE.
9.01. General Tax Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the registered owners
of the Bonds that it will not take, or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or
agents, any actions that would cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income
of the recipient under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) and applicable
Treasury Regulations (the Regulations), and covenants to take any and all actions within its
powers to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income of the
recipient under the Code and the Regulations. The City covenants and agrees that, so long as the
Bonds are outstanding, the City shall not enter into any lease, management agreement, use
agreement or other contract with any nongovernmental entity relating to the improvements so
refinanced which would cause the Bonds to be considered “private activity bonds” or “private
loan bonds” pursuant to Section 141 of the Code.
9.02. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and City Manager being the officers of the
City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this resolution, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance with
Section 148 of the Code, and applicable Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and
circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds which make it
reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would
cause the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.
9.03. Arbitrage Rebate. The City acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to the rebate
requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The City covenants and agrees to retain such
records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amounts at
such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Regulations, unless the
Bonds qualify for an exception from the rebate requirement pursuant to one of the spending
exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 of the Regulations and no “gross proceeds” of the Bonds
(other than amounts constituting a “bona fide debt service fund”) arise during or after the
expenditure of the original proceeds thereof.
9.04. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The City hereby designates the Bonds as
“qualified tax–exempt obligations” for purpose of Section 265(b) of the Code relating to the
disallowance of interest expenses for financial institutions. The City represents that in calendar
year 2015 it does not reasonably expect to issue tax–exempt obligations which are not private
activity bonds (not treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds under Section 145 of the Code as private
activity bonds for purposes of this representation) in an amount in excess of $10,000,000.
9.05. Continuing Disclosure. (a) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the public
availability of certain information relating to the Bonds and the security therefor and to permit
the Purchaser and other participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to
comply with amendments to Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12), relating to continuing disclosure (as in effect
and interpreted from time to time, the Rule), which will enhance the marketability of the Bonds,
the City hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Owners (as
hereinafter defined) from time to time of the Outstanding Bonds. The City is the only obligated
person in respect of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for purposes of identifying the
entities in respect of which continuing disclosure must be made. If the City fails to comply with
any provisions of this section, any person aggrieved thereby, including the Owners of any
Outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or
appropriate to enforce performance and observance of any agreement or covenant contained in
this section, including an action for a writ of mandamus or specific performance. Direct,
indirect, consequential and punitive damages shall not be recoverable for any default hereunder
to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no
event shall a default under this section constitute a default under the Bonds or under any other
provision of this resolution. As used in this section, Owner or Bondowner means, in respect of a
Bond, the registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register maintained by the
Registrar or any Beneficial Owner (as hereinafter defined) thereof, if such Beneficial Owner
provides to the Registrar evidence of such beneficial ownership in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar. As used herein, Beneficial Owner means, in respect of a
Bond, any person or entity which (i) has the power, directly or indirectly, to vote or consent with
respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, such Bond (including persons or entities holding Bonds
through nominees, depositories or other intermediaries), or (ii) is treated as the owner of the
Bond for federal income tax purposes.
(b) Information To Be Disclosed. The City will provide, in the manner set forth in subsection
(c) hereof, either directly or indirectly through an agent designated by the City, the following
information at the following times:
(1) on or before twelve (12) months after the end of each fiscal year of the City,
commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, the following financial
information and operating data in respect of the City (the Disclosure Information):
(A) the audited financial statements of the City for such fiscal year, in accordance
with the governmental accounting standards promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board or as otherwise provided under Minnesota law, as
in effect from time to time, or, if and to the extent such financial statements
have not been prepared in accordance with such generally accepted accounting
principles for reasons beyond the reasonable control of the City, noting the
discrepancies therefrom and the effect thereof, and certified as to accuracy and
completeness in all material respects by the fiscal officer of the City; and
(B) to the extent not included in the financial statements referred to in paragraph (A)
hereof, the information for such fiscal year or for the period most recently
available of the type contained in the Official Statement under the headings:
Current Property Valuations; Direct Debt; Tax Levies and Collections;
Population Trend and Employment/Unemployment Data, which information
may be unaudited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if the audited financial statements are not available by
the date specified, the City shall provide on or before such date unaudited financial statements in
the format required for the audited financial statements as part of the Disclosure Information and,
within 10 days after the receipt thereof, the City shall provide the audited financial statements.
Any or all of the Disclosure Information may be incorporated by reference, if it is updated as
required hereby, from other documents, including official statements, which have been submitted
to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”) through its Electronic Municipal
Market Access System (“EMMA”) or to the SEC. The City shall clearly identify in the
Disclosure Information each document so incorporated by reference. If any part of the
Disclosure Information can no longer be generated because the operations of the City have
materially changed or been discontinued, such Disclosure Information need no longer be
provided if the City includes in the Disclosure Information a statement to such effect, provided,
however, if such operations have been replaced by other City operations in respect of which data
is not included in the Disclosure Information and the City determines that certain specified data
regarding such replacement operations would be a Material Fact (as defined in paragraph (2)
hereof), then, from and after such determination, the Disclosure Information shall include such
additional specified data regarding the replacement operations. If the Disclosure Information is
changed or this section is amended as permitted by this paragraph (b)(1) or subsection (d), then
the City shall include in the next Disclosure Information to be delivered hereunder, to the extent
necessary, an explanation of the reasons for the amendment and the effect of any change in the
type of financial information or operating data provided.
(2) In a timely manner not in excess of ten business days after the occurrence of the
event, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events (each a “Material
Fact”):
(A) Principal and interest payment delinquencies;
(B) Non-payment related defaults, if material;
(C) Unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties;
(D) Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties;
(E) Substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform;
(F) Adverse tax opinions, the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of proposed
or final determinations of taxability, Notices of Proposed Issue (IRS Form
5701-TEB) or other material notices or determinations with respect to the tax
status of the security, or other material events affecting the tax status of the
security;
(G) Modifications to rights of security holders, if material;
(H) Bond calls, if material, and tender offers;
(I) Defeasances;
(J) Release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of the securities, if
material;
(K) Rating changes;
(L) Bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar event of the obligated person;
(M) The consummation of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition involving an
obligated person or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
obligated person, other than in the ordinary course of business, the entry into a
definitive agreement to undertake such an action or the termination of a
definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant to its
terms, if material; and
(N) Appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of a
trustee, if material.
As used herein, for those events that must be reported if material, an event is “material” if it is an
event as to which a substantial likelihood exists that a reasonably prudent investor would attach
importance thereto in deciding to buy, hold or sell a Bond or, if not disclosed, would
significantly alter the total information otherwise available to an investor from the Official
Statement, information disclosed hereunder or information generally available to the public.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, an event is also “material” if it is an event that would be
deemed material for purposes of the purchase, holding or sale of a Bond within the meaning of
applicable federal securities laws, as interpreted at the time of discovery of the occurrence of the
event.
For the purposes of the event identified in (L) hereinabove, the event is considered to occur when
any of the following occur: the appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer for an
obligated person in a proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or in any other proceeding
under state or federal law in which a court or governmental authority has assumed jurisdiction
over substantially all of the assets or business of the obligated person, or if such jurisdiction has
been assumed by leaving the existing governing body and officials or officers in possession but

(1) The covenants of the City in this section shall remain in effect so long as any Bonds
are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the obligations
of the City under this section shall terminate and be without further effect as of any
date on which the City delivers to the Registrar an opinion of Bond Counsel to the
effect that, because of legislative action or final judicial or administrative actions or
proceedings, the failure of the City to comply with the requirements of this section
will not cause participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to be
in violation of the Rule or other applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or any statutes or laws successory thereto or amendatory
thereof.
(2) This section (and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information) may be
amended or supplemented by the City from time to time, without notice to (except as
provided in paragraph (c)(3) hereof) or the consent of the Owners of any Bonds, by a
resolution of this Council filed in the office of the recording officer of the City
accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, who may rely on certificates of the
City and others and the opinion may be subject to customary qualifications, to the
effect that: (i) such amendment or supplement (a) is made in connection with a
change in circumstances that arises from a change in law or regulation or a change in
the identity, nature or status of the City or the type of operations conducted by the
City, or (b) is required by, or better complies with, the provisions of paragraph (b)(5)
of the Rule; (ii) this section as so amended or supplemented would have complied
with the requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule at the time of the primary
offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any change in circumstances applicable under
clause (i)(a) and assuming that the Rule as in effect and interpreted at the time of the
amendment or supplement was in effect at the time of the primary offering; and (iii)
