Page 5 1 Mr. Stenglein thanked the Mayor for the introduction and reviewed several items that are new 2 with Hennepin County. He noted transportation, public safety and general services are major 3 concerns for the County this year. 4 Mr. Stenglein indicated the County is working heavily to increase transportation within the 5 Hennepin County area. He noted there would be a Lowry Avenue upgrade and was being 6 studied by the County to rebuild this area. Mr. Stenglein indicated light rail transit did get 7 approval and was now in the hands of MnDOT. He explained the light rail will be above ground, 8 with current plans heading from Minneapolis to the Mall of America and Minneapolis to St. 9 Cloud. 10 Mr. Stenglein noted for public safety the new correctional facility will be opened in August of 11 this year. He indicated the jail would be a holding facility and could house roughly 500 12 individuals before their trials. Mr. Stenglein indicated this will be a great addition for the County 13 as the old holding cells were two floors within City Hall. He indicated Crim-Net would be 14 online within the next three years for the County as well. 15 Mr. Stenglein reported under general services,the St. Anthony Library renovations would begin 16 sometime this year with an opening set by the end of this year. He noted the County is very 7 excited for the growth in this area: 18 Councilmember Horst asked if the facing on the library has been discussed. Mr. Stenglein noted 19 he had hoped it would conform with the neighborhood and stated he was not aware of the style of 20 this structure to date. He noted there has been talks that all libraries would be structured 21 similarly to make them identifiable as Hennepin County buildings. 22 Mayor Cavanaugh indicated the library could become a catalyst to additional renovations near 23 the shopping center. 24 Councilmember Thuesen questioned how St. Anthony would fit into the light rail transit. Mr. 25 Stenglein noted the location of St. Anthony within the metro area was ideal. He indicated the 26 benefits from being located on the light rail transit schedule would eliminate the need to drive to. 27 the airport or Mall of America in the future. 28 Mayor Cavanaugh asked when the County could foresee Silver Lake Road being resurfaced. He 29 indicated he would like to see some long range planning done on this roadway to alleviate future 30 concerns. Mayor Cavanaugh indicated the City would like to eliminate the blacktop sidewalk 31 once this is updated, as well. Mr. Stenglein indicated this could be brought up and reported back 32 to the City. Mayor Cavanaugh commended Mr. Stenglein for his efforts on the Hennepin County Library #33 34 system. He noted he felt the County was making great strides in this area to get ahead of other 35 county library systems. City Council Study Session Minutes March 13, 2001 Page 6 1 Councilmember Thuesen questioned if Highway 88 was County or State owned. Mr. Stenglein 2 indicated this was State owned. 3 Councilmember Thuesen indicated he felt the 29`h Street corridor would be heavily used, but 4 stated concern for the major intersections at each entrance. He asked if a bridge could be lobbied 5 for by the County. Mr. Stenglein noted a pedestrian bridge is certainly something that could be 6 investigated. 7 b. Hennepin County Assessor Tamara Doolittle will be present to discuss the upcoming 8 Board of Review on April 10, 2001. 9 Mayor Cavanaugh introduced Tamara Doolittle from the Hennepin County Assessor's office. 10 Ms. Doolittle reviewed the summary of the year 2001 assessments and some sales data from the 1 I City. She noted there was a raise in the assessments to 8.8%for 2000 and up 3.8% in 1999. Ms. 12 Doolittle reviewed several high priced sales within the City for residential and condominium 13 style homes. She indicated the manufactured home park value increased 3.7% over the past year. 14 Ms. Doolittle explained the median home sales price was $150,000, up from $139,000 from the 5 previous year. She noted only valid sales are included within these numbers.. Ms. Doolittle 16 indicated she-felt the values-and sales prices were very strong throughout the year. 17 Mayor Cavanaugh asked how close the assessed prices were to the actual value of the home. Ms. 18 Doolittle indicated she set her value at roughly 95% of the value of the home at the time it is 19 assessed. She noted as the year progresses, this number varies as the value of the home increases 20 over time. 21 Ms. Doolittle stated she mailed value notices to the residents several days ago and indicated the 22 County has received a couple calls to date. She indicated the residents are becoming more 23 knowledgeable about the value of their property and the assessments charged accordingly. 24 Councilmember Thuesen noted he.does feel the market is.very strong in St. Anthony as he has . 25 been looking for another home within the City. 26 Ms. Doolittle reviewed the actions the local Board of Review could take. She asked for 27 comments or questions from the Council. 28 Mayor Cavanaugh thanked Ms. Doolittle for her comments and noted the process she uses has 29 been self-explanatory which keeps the resident's minds at ease. 30 C. Discuss Custom Liquidators Property, 2654 Kenzie Terrace. 31 Nancy Schultz, from SEH, reviewed the building condition survey of Custom Liquidators at 32 2654 Kenzie Terrace. She indicated the City would need to set the minimal function for this 19 City Council Study Session Minutes March 13, 2001 Page 7 t building and decide if the second floor would be renovated. She explained the probable costs for 2 the interior alterations, site improvements, and maintenance needs would be a bare minimum of .3 $60,000. 4 Councilmember Hodson indicated several members of the community may be interested in 5 donating time and materials to reduce the renovation expenses for the temporary building. He 6 stated there was positive support from the residents on this issue. 7 Councilmember Sparks asked how long this building could be used on a"temporary basis." Mr. 8 Gilligan noted after a certain amount of time,roughly one to two years, the temporary use would 9 become'permanent. He stated at that time, the TIF funds would need to be reimbursed. 10 Councilmember Sparks questioned the benefits of using this site. Mayor Cavanaugh noted the 11 temporary use as a teen center could benefit the community and would allow for redevelopment 12 of the site for the future. 13 Councilmember Sparks stated she feels there may not be a need for a teen center because it 14 would not meet the needs of all teens. Councilmember Hodson stated he felt the building would 15 be perfect for teen activities and indicated he has heard positive feedback for this use. 016 Councilmember Sparks explained, xplained she would like to see this site used as a community center, 17 versus teen center. Councilmember Horst indicated he felt there was enough community 18 activities to incorporate this into a combined teen center/community center. 19 Councilmember Sparks questioned if using this site on a temporary basis would be beneficial for 20 the City. Mayor Cavanaugh indicated a structural review was done to see if the building could 21 be used and the expense that would need to be incurred to get the teen center/community center 22 up and running. He stated he would be interested in having additional discussions on the interim 23 uses of this structure. 24 Morrison indicated the purchase of the property would be provided by TIF funds provided to the 25 City in 1999. He noted if the City does.not purchase this site it may be demolished. 26 Councilmember Thuesen stated he was astonished with the stability of this structure. He stated 27 the temporary use of this structure should be greatly considered by the Council before jumping 28 into the purchase and renovation of this site. 29 Councilmember Sparks cautioned the Council when proceeding with this item and asked that 30 they all consider the benefits of this purchase. t 1 Mayor Cavanaugh thanked the Council for their comments and noted this discussion would 32 continue at a future meeting. Mornson reported the City would be closing on this site on April 33 15, 2001. 20 City Council Study Session Minutes March 13, 2001 .Page 8 1 d. Investment Report. 2 Lynn Trausen, Ehlers, reviewed the City's investment report with the Council. She noted the 3 rate of return,was roughly 1.08% higher than the average rate of.return on treasuries. Ms. . 4 Trausen explained the unrealized loss of market value on the portfolio as being a small 5 proportion of loss to the net book value. She reviewed the distribution of the net book value over 6 the next 30 years and the analysis of investment by type. 7 Ms. Trausen explained the distribution of bonds by broker and brokerage houses. She suggested 8 the City diversify the composition of bonds among brokerage houses as Dain Rauscher holds 9 73% of the total portfolio at this time. to Ms. Trausen recommended the City encourage competition by obtaining quotes on short-term 11 investments. She added that the City should consider consolidating money market accounts into 12 the higher yielding 4M accounts. Ms. Trausen also recommended developing short term and 13 long term cash flow forecast along with long term operating and capital needs. 14 Councilmember Horst questioned if investing cash in the short term would increase the level of 15 risk for the City. Ms. Trausen stated the risk level would not be increased as a Commercial 16 . Paper has a higher level of return than.money markets. She noted State law regulates short-term 17 investments to eliminate the level of high risk. f . 18 Councilmember Horst asked if the bank relations were established with Firstar for any particular 19 reason. Mr. Larson indicated the City has had a great working relationship with Firstar over the 20 years and noted the interest they gain on our funds covers some of the fees that are waived. 21 Councilmember Thuesen asked for Mr. Larson's thoughts on these recommendations. Mr. 22 Larson commended Ehlers for their work on this report. He noted he was in agreement with the 23 diversification recommendation to benefit the City. 24 Councilmember Hodson thanked Mr. Larson for his 12 years of service to the City. Mayor 25 Cavanaugh concurred. He asked that this document be put into policy for approval by the 26 Council. 27 e. Financial Development Proposal. 28 Jim Prosser reviewed the key financial strategies for the City of St. Anthony. He suggested the 29 Council hold several workshop meetings to discuss the City's financial goals and objectives. Mr. 30 Prosser indicated through these meetings the Council would review"Financial Foundations" 31 relating to city capital and operating funds, impacts of growth on tax rates, service levels, 32 operating budgets and capital needs. He explained the Council would also identify funding 33 alternatives,prioritize projects in the general fund and draft strategies for the City's future capital 34 and operating financing needs. 21 City Council Study Session Minutes March 13, 2001 Page 9 1 Councilmember Sparks questioned the definition of"Financial Foundations." Mr. Prosser 2 reviewed the definition with the Council and stated it would include capital improvement 3: projects,,pavement management systems, information technology, vehicle replacement, non- 4 annual recurring maintenance, building replacement and budget alternative analysis. He noted 5 this foundation would assist the Council in making financial decisions that would greater benefit 6 the community over the long term. 7 Mr. Prosser indicated the budget will turn to an outcome-based item versus income based. He 8 explained this framework on financial thinking takes time to establish but would assist the 9 Council in the decisions that are made at a Council level. 10 Councilmember Thuesen asked which cities Mr. Prosser has worked with in the past. Mr. I 1 Prosser indicated he has worked with West St. Paul and Mound. 12 Councilmember Thuesen questioned if retraining would be needed after each election, when new 13 Councilmembers were brought on board. Mr. Prosser stated this could be completed if warranted 14 by the Council or noted City staff could educate new members on this frameworks. 15 . . Councilmember Horst questioned the value of this training to the Council. Mr. Prosser stated he 16 feels the training is extremely valuable in establishing a framework for evaluating each financial 17 situation and assessing the impacts it will have on the City. 18 Mayor Cavanaugh asked staff for their input on this training. Morrison noted he felt the Council 19 needed to follow through with some financial training as this was one of their goals for the year 20 2001. He indicated staff was ready for this to take place. 21 Morrison suggested the Council consider this proposal to begin setting this framework in place 22 and to establish a financial strategy for the City to adopt. He recommended the Council take 23 their time with this item and get as much as they can from the work session meetings with the 24 financial representative. Mayor Cavanaugh concurred. 25 Councilmember Horst noted his only concern would be the Council becoming ultra conservative 26 or over planning every financial decision for the City. 27 Mayor Cavanaugh advised staff to move forward with the proposal as presented. 28 f. Economic Development Proposal. 29 Jim Prosser, Ehlers, reviewed the economic development proposal for a number of properties 30 within the Southwest Quadrant of the City. Mr. Prosser stated the Council would need to define 31 all goals and objectives for this area before this would commence. He reviewed his scope of 32 services as a financial advisor and what services could be offered to assist in the redevelopment 33 of these areas. Mr. Prosser explained he works with roughly ten municipalities on economic 34 development. 22 City Council Study Session Minutes March 13,2001 Page 10 1 Councilmember Horst asked if this entire plan would be covered by the $4,500 fee. Mr. Prosser 2 indicated this would cover the preparation of the TIF plans. He stated all other services would be 3 billed out on an hourly basis. 4 Councilmember Horst stated he would not be willing to proceed with this item as the area is still 5 changing and redeveloping. 6 Mayor Cavanaugh indicated this proposal would mostly address the Stonehouse property and 7 Custom Liquidators property. 8 Mornson noted these two properties were selected because the services offered at each site are up 9 for redevelopment. He indicated there is not City staff available to address economic 10 development issues. Momson stated he would be in favor of the Council proceeding with this 11 report. 12 g. City's Code Enforcement Policy. 13 Fire Chief Hewitt indicated Don Drush was also present to address the Council. Fire Chief 14 Hewitt noted his memo to the Council was a draft code enforcement policy for the City to 15 consider. He noted the fire department has been responsible for enforcing the City Code for 6 some time now. . 17 Fire Chief Hewitt stated he felt the fire department was doing a fine job, but felt there was room 18 for improvement. He explained one concern at this time was training. Fire Chief Hewitt noted 19 there may also be difficulty with defining the role of the fire department on this issue and the 20 authority that should be taken by the members of the department. He indicated things must be 21 greater defined so that codes remain consistently defined and enforced. 22 Fire Chief Hewitt reviewed how the fire department would proceed with a complaint. He stated 23 the procedure would hopefully protect members of the department when out on calls. Fire Chief 24 Hewitt read through several recommendations to the Council and asked for their comments. 25 Councilmember Hodson questioned the role of the fire chief as the code enforcement officer and 26 if he was aware of other cities operating in a similar fashion. Fire Chief Hewitt indicated several _ 27 smaller cities operate in this fashion and other cities have there own code enforcement 28 departments. 29 Don Drush noted the City of Columbia Heights used to complete all housing code issues but 30 have backed down to only one person assisting in this matter. 31 Mayor Cavanaugh asked how many members of the fire'department were trained to deal with 32 code enforcement. Fire Chief Hewitt indicated seven members of the Fire Department were 33 trained to deal with code enforcement at this time. 23 City Council Study Session Minutes March 13, 2001 Page 11 1 Mayor Cavanaugh asked if this number could be reduced to only have one or two members of 2 the fire department trained in this area. Fire Chief Hewitt indicated this may be difficult due to 3 the various shifts that officers work at.the department. He stated this reduction in the number. 4 trained could delay resolution of complaints. 5 Councilmember Horst questioned if a single code enforcement officer was feasible for the City. 6 Fire Chief Hewitt noted he felt this would be a great recommendation as a 40-hour a week full- 7 time position separate from the fire department. 8 Councilmember Horst asked if the fire department could set standards for non-compliance. Fire 9 Chief Hewitt indicated this was a conflict of interest because the fire department provides a 10 social service to the residents. He noted he didn't feel it was prudent for the fire department to 11 establish non-compliance standards at this time. Mr. Drush added that he felt the code needed to 12 be reviewed at this time because times have changed since its inception. 13 Councilmember Sparks asked how much revision would be needed before code enforcement 14 could begin. Mr. Drush stated he was unaware of the amount of revisions, he noted this would 15 be up to the Council and staff. 6 Councilmember Horst stated he feels the purpose.of this code was to eliminate blight. He noted 17 this is how the Council should`determine which items are of the most-importance. 18 Fire Chief Hewitt noted as he drives the streets of the City code enforcement is not the first thing 19 on his mind. Councilmember Horst concurred stating the public safety should be the main 20 concern of the fire chief. He indicated he felt that the Council members and residents need to 21 take more responsibility in reporting code enforcement issues. 22 Councilmember Sparks asked if there was a common complaint form for enforcement issues. 23 Fire Chief Hewitt indicated a form has been created for complaints to be used by the fire 24 department and the City staff. 25 Councilmember Thuesen noted he felt the comments made-by fire department were crucial. He 26 indicated.he felt the fire department's objectives should be to public safety and not code 27 enforcement. Councilmember Thuesen agreed with the authorization of a feasibility study for the 28 hiring of a code specialist/fire marshal to cover the enforcement issues. 29 Fire Chief Hewitt indicated the fire department may be interested in redirecting some overtime 30 funds to cover a portion of the expense for hiring a code specialist/fire marshal. He added that 31 fines received by the code enforcement officer could be directed to this position as well. 32 Mayor Cavanaugh noted the primary charge of the fire department should be the wellness and 33 public safety of the public. He indicated he feels code enforcement is crucial to the communities 34 wellness as well. 24 City Council Study Session Minutes March 13, 2001 Page 12 1 Mayor Cavanaugh stated he would like to see the level of enforcement kept to a high standard 2 and noted he would be interested in reviewing this issue in greater detail or restructuring the -. 3 current system. He rioted this may be an area the Community Services Officer may be able to 4 take on. Mayor Cavanaugh asked staff to bring this issue back to the Council at a future meeting. 5 6. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS 6 Mornson reviewed a request for funding for state aid on Silver Lane for flood mitigation. He 7 indicated the previous Council approved some green space at the shopping center, which has not 8 been completed to date. Mornson indicated this would be discussed with the shopping center 9 developers in the near future. 10 Mornson indicated the Park Commission held a meeting last night to discuss Central Park. 11 Councilmember Hodson indicated the Park Commission would like to hold a joint meeting with 12 the Council prior to the March 27' Council meeting on March 20`h. He asked if any 13 Councilmembers were available. Mayor Cavanaugh indicated he would be willing to meet on 14 the 201h of March to discuss any issues they may have. 15 Mornson noted the Council would be approving their goals at the next meeting. He stated after 16 approval, the goals would be disbursed to all City consultants to keep them abreast of the City's 7 . objectives. 18 Mornson indicated he felt the City Code Enforcement issue needed additional clarification. He 19 stated these issues were moved from the Public Works Department to the Fire Department for 20 several safety and important reasons. 21 Mornson noted code enforcement was currently at a 95% compliance rate which makes him 22 think a change was not needed. He added that due to this high level of compliance, he felt a new 23 position was not warranted at this point. Mornson'indicated future discussions will follow on 24 this item. 25 Mayor Cavanaugh asked if anyone was available to attend the Northeast Diagonal Land 26 Use/Transit Study meeting on April 18`''.at 4:00 p.m. Councilmember Thuesen volunteered to - 27 attend. 28 Councilmember Sparks indicated the first VillageFest meeting would be held on the 2151 of 29 March at 7:00. She encouraged all Councilmembers to attend. 3o 7.

Individual purchases of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof of a single maturity through book entries made on the books and records of DTC and its participants. Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of DTC will be the responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial owners by participants will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial owners. The purchaser, as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the Bonds with DTC. REGISTRAR The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City will pay for the services of the registrar. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION The City may elect on February 1, 2010, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due on or after February 1, 2011. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of the City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are called for redemption, the City will notify DTC 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. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest. SECURITY AND PURPOSE The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition the City will pledge special assessments from benefitted properties. The proceeds will be used to finance various street, water and sewer improvement projects in the City. TYPE OF PROPOSALS Proposals shall be for not less than $1,146,080 and accrued interest on the total principal amount of the Bonds. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith Deposit ("Deposit") in the form of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $11,600, payable to the order of the City. If a check is used, it must accompany the proposal. If a Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a bond in the State of Minnesota, and preapproved by the City. Such bond must be submitted to Springsted Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial Surety Bond must identify each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the Bonds are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser is required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a certified or cashier's check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than 3:30 P.M., Central Time, on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement. The City will deposit the check of the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at settlement and no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City. No proposal can - ii - be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the meeting of the City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of 5/100 or 1/8 of 1%. Rates must be in level or ascending order. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No conditional proposals will be accepted. AWARD The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true interest cost (TIC) basis.

The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non-substantive informalities of any proposal or of matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals without cause, and, (iii) reject any proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply with the terms herein. CUSIP NUMBERS If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers shall be paid by the purchaser. SETTLEMENT Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the purchaser through DTC in New York, New York.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT The City has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent information relative to the Bonds, and said Official Statement will serve as a nearly-final Official Statement within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For copies of the Official Statement or for any additional information prior to sale, any prospective purchaser is referred to the Financial Advisor to the City, Springsted Incorporated, 85 East Seventh Place, Suite 100, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101, telephone (651) 223-3000. The Official Statement, when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Bonds, together with any other information required by law, shall constitute a "Final Official Statement" of the City with respect to the Bonds, as that term is defined in Rule 15c2-12. By awarding the Bonds to any underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a proposal therefor, the City agrees that, no more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide without cost to the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded 45 copies of the Official Statement and the addendum or addenda described above.

Any underwriter delivering a proposal with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its proposal is accepted by the City (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all Participating Underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt by each such Participating Underwriter of the Final Official Statement. Dated March 13, 2001 BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL /s/ Connie Kroeplin City Clerk - iv - OFFICIAL STATEMENT $1,160,000 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2001B (BOOK ENTRY ONLY) INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT This Official Statement contains certain information relating to the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota (the "City" or the "Issuer"), and its issuance of $1,160,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2001B (the "Bonds," the "Obligations" or the "Issue"). The Bonds are general obligations of the City for which the City pledges its full faith and credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes without limit as to rate or amount. Additional sources of authority and pledged security for the Bonds are described in more detail herein. Inquiries may be directed to Mr. Roger Larson, Finance Director, City of St. Anthony, 3301 Silver Lake Road, St. Anthony, Minnesota 55418 or by telephoning (612) 789-8881. Inquiries may also be made to Springsted Incorporated, 85 East Seventh Place, Suite 100, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-2887, or by telephoning (651) 223-3000. If information of a specific legal matter is desired, requests may be directed to Mr. Jerome Gilligan, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, Bond Counsel, 2200 First Bank Place East, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402, or by telephoning (612) 340-2962. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE In order to permit bidders for the Bonds and other participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to comply with paragraph (b)(5) of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Rule"), the City will covenant and agree, for the benefit of the registered holders or beneficial owners from time to time of the outstanding Bonds, in the Bond Resolutions, to provide annual reports of specified information and notice of the occurrence of certain events, if material, as hereinafter described (the "Disclosure Covenants"). The information to be provided on an annual basis, the events as to which notice is to be given, if material, and a summary of other provisions of the Disclosure Covenants, including termination, amendment and remedies, are set forth in Appendix II to this Official Statement. Breach of the Disclosure Covenants will not constitute a default or an "Event of Default' under the Bonds or the Bond Resolutions. A broker or dealer is to consider a known breach of the Disclosure Covenants, however, before recommending the purchase or sale of the Bonds in the secondary market. Thus, a failure on the part of the City to observe the Disclosure Covenants may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Bonds and their market price. - 1 - THE BONDS General Description The Bonds are dated as of April 1, 2001 and will mature in the years and amounts as set forth on the cover of this Official Statement. The Bonds are issued in book entry form. Interest on the Bonds is payable August 1, 2001 and semiannually thereafter on February 1 and August 1. Interest will be payable to the holder (initially Cede & Co.) registered on the books of the registrar (the "Registrar") on the fifteenth day of the calendar month next preceding such interest payment date. Firstar Bank, N.A., St. Paul, Minnesota will serve as Registrar for the Bonds. The City will pay for registration services. Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid as described in the section herein entitled "Book Entry System." Optional Redemption The City may elect on February 1, 2010, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due on or after February 1, 2011. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of the City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity for an issue are called for redemption, the City will notify DTC 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. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest. Book Entry System The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for the Obligations. The Obligations will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Obligations, in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Direct Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Direct Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants ("Direct Participants") include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.; the American Stock Exchange LLC; and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. - 2 - Purchases of Obligations under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Obligations on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Obligation ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Obligations are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Obligations, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Obligations is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Obligations deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Obligations with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Obligations; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Obligations are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of the Obligations may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Obligations, such as redemptions, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. Beneficial Owners of the Obligations may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Obligations for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners, or in the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the Registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them. " Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Obligations within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Obligations. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Registrar as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Obligations are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Obligations will be made to Cede & Co. or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records, unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on the payable date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC (nor its nominee), the Registrar, or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Registrar, disbursement of - 3 - such payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Obligations purchased or redeemed, through its Direct Participant, to the nominee holding the Obligations, and shall effect delivery of such Obligations by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Direct Participant's interest in the Obligations, on DTC's records, to the nominee holding the Obligations. The requirement for physical delivery of the Obligations in connection with a purchase or redemption will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Obligations are transferred by the Direct Participants on DTC's records and followed by a book-entry credit of purchased or redeemed Obligations to the nominee holding the Obligations. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Obligations at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Issuer believes to be reliable, but the Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE • The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 429 and 475. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance various street, water and sewer improvement projects within the City. The composition of the Bonds is as follows: Project Costs $2,020,600 Less: Available City Funds (939,700) Plus: Issuance Costs 23,722 Allowance for Discount Bidding 13,920 Capitalized Interest 41,458 Total Bonds $1,160,000 SECURITY AND FINANCING In addition to its general obligation pledge, the City pledges special assessments levied against benefited property. Special assessments in the principal amount of $335,100 are expected to be filed on or about October 15, 2001 for first collection in 2002. Assessments will be spread over 15 years in equal annual principal and interest installments with interest charged on the unpaid balance at a rate of 6.5%. The August 1, 2001 and February 1, 2002 interest payments will be made from capitalized interest of approximately $41,458 which is included in the principal amount of the issue. Thereafter, special assessments and levy collections will be in an amount sufficient to pay 105% of the interest coming due August 1 in the year of collection and the principal and interest coming due February 1 of the following year. -4 - FUTURE FINANCING The City does not expect to issue any additional general obligation debt within the next 90 days. LITIGATION The City is not aware of any threatened or pending litigation affecting the validity of the Bonds or the City's ability to meet its financial obligations. LEGALITY The Bonds are subject to approval as to certain matters by Dorsey & Whitney LLP of Minneapolis, Minnesota as Bond Counsel. Bond Counsel has not participated in the preparation of this Official Statement except for guidance concerning the following section, "Tax Exemption," and will not pass upon its accuracy, completeness, or sufficiency. Bond Counsel has not examined nor attempted to examine or verify, any of the financial or statistical statements, or data contained in this Official Statement, and will express no opinion with respect thereto. A legal opinion substantially in the form as set out in Appendix I herein will be delivered at closing. TAX EXEMPTION In the opinion of Dorsey & Whitney LLP, as Bond Counsel, under federal and Minnesota laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect on the date of issuance of the Bonds, interest on the Bonds is not includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes or in taxable net income of individuals, estates and trusts for Minnesota income tax purposes. Interest on the Bonds is includable in taxable income of corporations and financial institutions for purposes of the Minnesota franchise tax. Certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), however, impose continuing requirements that must be met after the issuance of the Bonds in order for interest thereon to be and remain not includable in federal gross income and in Minnesota taxable net income. Noncompliance with such requirements by the District may cause the interest on the Bonds to be includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation and in taxable net income for purposes of Minnesota income taxation, retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds, irrespective in some cases of the date on which such noncompliance is ascertained. No provision has been made for redemption of or for an increase in the interest rate on the Bonds in the event that interest on the Bonds becomes includable in federal gross income or Minnesota taxable income. Interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax preference includable in alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to all taxpayers or the Minnesota alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, estates and trusts, but is includable in adjusted current earnings in determining the alternative minimum taxable income of corporations for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. Interest on the Bonds may be includable in the income of a foreign corporation for purposes of the branch profits tax imposed - 5 - f by Section 884 of the Code and is includable in the net investment income of foreign insurance companies for purposes of Section 842(b) of the Code. In the case of an insurance company subject to the tax imposed by Section 831 of the Code, the amount which otherwise would be taken into account as losses incurred under Section 832(b)(5) of the Code must be reduced by an amount equal to fifteen percent of the interest on the Bonds that is received or accrued during the taxable year. Section 86 of the Code requires recipients of certain Social Security and railroad retirement benefits to take into account, in determining the taxability of such benefits, receipts or accruals of interest on the Bonds. Passive investment income, including interest on the Bonds, may be subject to federal income taxation under Section 1375 of the Code for a Subchapter S corporation that has Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close of the taxable year if greater than twenty-five percent of the gross receipts of such Subchapter S corporation is passive investment income. Section 265 of the Code denies a deduction for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the Bonds or, in the case of a financial institution, that portion of the holder's interest expense allocated to interest on the Bonds, except with respect to certain financial institutions (within the meaning of Section 265(b) of the Code). The foregoing is not intended to be an exhaustive discussion of collateral tax consequences arising from receipt of interest on the Bonds. Prospective purchasers or holders of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors with respect to collateral tax consequences, including without limitation the calculations of alternative minimum tax, environmental tax or foreign branch profits tax liability or the inclusion of Social Security or other retirement payments in taxable income. BANK QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT BONDS The City will designate the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to the ability of financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes, interest expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt obligations. RATING Application for a rating of the Bonds has been made to Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"), 99 Church Street, New York, New York. If a rating is assigned, it will reflect only the opinion of Moody's. Any explanation of the significance of the rating may be obtained only from Moody's. There is no assurance that the rating, if assigned, will continue for any given period of time, or that such rating will not be revised or withdrawn if, in the judgment of Moody's, circumstances so warrant. A revision or withdrawal of the rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. • - 6 - FINANCIAL ADVISOR The City has retained Springsted Incorporated, Advisors to the Public Sector, of St. Paul, Minnesota, as financial advisor (the "Financial Advisor") in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.

The Financial Advisor is an independent advisory firm and is not engaged in the business of underwriting, trading or distributing municipal securities or other public securities and therefore will not participate in the underwriting of the Bonds.

As of the date of the settlement of the Bonds, the Purchaser will be furnished with a certificate signed by the appropriate officers of the City.

As to questions of fact material to our opinion we have assumed the authenticity of and relied upon the proceedings, affidavits and certificates furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. From our examination of such proceedings, affidavits and certificates, and based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect on the date hereof, it is our opinion that: 1. The Bonds are valid and binding general obligations of the City enforceable in accordance with their terms. 2. The principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable from special assessments which the City has levied or agreed to levy on the property specially benefited by the improvements financed by the issuance of the Bonds and ad valorem taxes levied on all I-1 taxable property in the City, and, to any extent not so paid, from additional ad valorem taxes required by law to be levied on all taxable property in the City without limitation of rate or amount. 3. Interest on the Bonds (a) is not includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes or in taxable net income of individuals, estates or trusts for Minnesota income tax purposes; (b) is includable in taxable income of corporations and financial institutions for purposes of the Minnesota franchise tax; (c) is not an item of tax preference includable in alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to all taxpayers or the Minnesota alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, estates and trusts; and (d) is includable in adjusted current earnings of corporations in determining alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations. 4. The City has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and, financial institutions described in Section 265(b)(5) of the Code may treat the Bonds for purposes of Section 265(b)(2) and 291(e)(1)(B) of the Code as if they were acquired on August 7, 1986. The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 and 2 are subject as to enforceability to the effect of any state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or creditors' rights and the exercise of judicial discretion. The opinions set forth in paragraphs 3 and 4 are subject to the condition that the City comply with all the requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be, excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and the Bonds be and continue to be qualified tax- exempt obligations. The City has covenanted in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds to comply with these continuing requirements. Failure of the City to comply with these requirements may result in the inclusion of interest on the Bonds in federal gross income and in Minnesota taxable net income, retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. Except as stated in this opinion, we express no opinion regarding federal, state or other tax consequences to owners of the Bonds. We have not been asked, and have not undertaken, to review the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of any offering materials relating to the Bonds, and accordingly, we express no opinion with respect thereto. Dated: April _, 2001. Very truly yours, 1-2 APPENDIX II CONTINUING DISCLOSURE In order to permit bidders for the Bonds and other participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to comply with paragraph(b)(5)of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934(as in effect and interpreted from time to time,the"Rule"), the City will covenant and agree in the Bond Resolutions, for the benefit of the Owners(as hereinafter defined) �. from time to time of any Bonds which are Outstanding,to provide annual reports of specified information and notice of the occurrence of certain events, if material, as hereinafter described(the"Disclosure Covenants"). 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. The City has complied in all material respects with any undertaking previously entered into by it under the Rule. Breach of the Disclosure Covenants will not constitute a default under the Bond Resolutions or the Bonds. A broker or dealer is to consider a known breach of the Disclosure Covenants, however, before recommending the purchase or sale of Bonds in the secondary market. Thus, a failure on the part of the City to observe the Disclosure Covenants may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Bonds and their market price. As used herein,"Owner"or"Bondowner"means, in respect of a Bond,the registered holder or holders 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(b) is treated as the owner of the Bond for federal income tax purposes. As used herein,a"Material Fact" is a fact 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 under the Disclosure Covenants or information generally available to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a"Material Fact" is also 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. Information To Be Disclosed The City will provide, in the manner set forth under"Manner of Disclosure" below,either directly or indirectly through an agent designated by the City,the following information at the following times: Annual Information As soon as available, but not later than 365 days after the end of each fiscal year of the City, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31,2000,the following financial information and operating data (the"Disclosure Information"): II - 1 (A) The audited financial statements of the City for such fiscal year, accompanied by the audit report and opinion of the accountant or government auditor relating thereto,as permitted or required by the laws of the State of Minnesota,which financial statements shall contain balance sheets as of the end of such fiscal year and a statement of operations, changes in fund balances and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, showing in comparative form such figures for the preceding fiscal year of the City, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board as modified 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, information of the type set forth below, which information may be unaudited, but is to be certified as to accuracy and completeness in all material respects by the City's financial officer to the best of his or her knowledge.which certification may be based on the reliability of information obtained from governmental or other third party sources: City Property Values; City Tax Capacity Rates;and City Tax Levies and Collections 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, if it is updated as required by the Disclosure Covenants,by reference from other documents, including official statements. If the document incorporated by reference is a final official statement, it must be available from the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board(the"MSRB"). 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,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 the Disclosure Covenants are amended as permitted by the Bond Resolution,then the City is to include in the next Disclosure Information to be delivered under the Disclosure Covenants,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. • II - 2 Certain Material Events In a timely manner, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events which is a Material Fact(the "Material Events"): (1) Principal and interest payment delinquencies; (2) Non-payment related defaults; (3) Unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties; (4) Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties; (5) Substitution of credit or liquidity providers,or their failure to perform; (6) Adverse tax opinions or events affecting the tax-exempt status of the security; (7) Modifications to rights of security holders; (8) Bond calls; (9) Defeasances; (10) Release, substitution,or sale of property securing repayment of the securities; and (1 1) Rating changes.

II - 3 Term The Disclosure Covenants shall remain in effect until all Bonds have been paid or defeased under the Bond Resolutions. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however,the Disclosure Covenants shall terminate and be without further effect as of any date on which the Citv 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 Disclosure Covenants 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. Amendments; Interpretation The Disclosure Covenants(and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information)may be amended or supplemented by the City from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Owners of any Bonds, by a resolution of the governing body of the City filed with the Registrar 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)the Disclosure Covenants 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 anv 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)such amendment or supplement does not materially impair the interests of the Bondowners under the Rule. If the Disclosure Information is so amended,the City agrees to provide, contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment,an explanation of the reasons for the amendment and the effect, if any, of the change in the type of financial information or operating data being provided hereunder.

Default; Remedies If the City fails to comply with any of the Disclosure Covenants.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 such covenant. Direct, indirect,consequential and punitive damages shall not be recoverable, however, for any default thereunder to the extent permitted by law. In no event shall a default under the Disclosure Covenants constitute a default under the Bonds or under any other provision of the Bond Resolutions. • II - 4 APPENDIX III SUMMARY OF TAX LEVIES, PAYMENT PROVISIONS, AND MINNESOTA REAL PROPERTY VALUATION Following is a summary of certain statutory provisions effective through 2000 relative to tax levy procedures, tax payment and credit procedures, and the mechanics of real property valuation. The summary does not purport to be inclusive of all such provisions or of the specific provisions discussed, and is qualified by reference to the complete text of applicable statutes, rules and regulations of the State of Minnesota. Property Valuations (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes) Assessor's Estimated Market Value. Each parcel of real property subject to taxation must, by statute, be appraised at least once every four years as of January 2 of the year of appraisal. With certain exceptions, all property is valued at its market value which is the value the assessor determines to be the price the property to be fairly worth, and which is referred to as the "Estimated Market Value." Limitation of Market Value Increases. Effective through assessment year 2001, the amount of increase in market value for all property classified as agricultural homestead or non-homestead, residential homestead or non-homestead, or non-commercial seasonable recreational residential, which is entered by the assessor in the current assessment year, may not exceed the greater of (i) 10% of the preceding year's market value or (ii) 1/4 of the difference between the current assessment and the preceding assessment. Indicated Market Value. Because the Estimated Market Value as determined by an assessor may not represent the price of real property in the marketplace, the "Indicated Market Value" is generally regarded as more representative of full value. The Indicated Market Value is determined by dividing the Estimated Market Value of a given year by the same year's sales ratio determined by the State Department of Revenue. The sales ratio represents the overall relationship between the Estimated Market Value of property within the taxing unit and actual selling price. Net Tax Capacity. The Net Tax Capacity is the value upon which net taxes are levied, extended and collected. The Net Tax Capacity is computed by applying the class rate percentages specific to each type of property classification against the Estimated Market Value. Class rate percentages vary depending on the type of property as shown on the last page of this Appendix. The formulas and class rates for converting Estimated Market Value to Net Tax Capacity represent a basic element of the State's property tax relief system and are subject to annual revisions by the State Legislature. Property taxes are determined by multiplying the Net Tax Capacity by the tax capacity rate, expressed as a percentage. Property Tax Payments and Delinquencies (Chapters 275, 276, 277, 279-282 and 549, Minnesota Statutes) Ad valorem property taxes levied by local governments in Minnesota are extended and collected by the various counties within the State. Each taxing jurisdiction is required to certify the annual tax levy to the county auditor within five (5) working days after December 20 of the year preceding the collection year. A listing of property taxes due is prepared by the county auditor and turned over to the county treasurer on or before the first business day in March. III-1 The county treasurer is responsible for collecting all property taxes within the county. Real estate and personal property tax statements are mailed out by March 31. One-half (1/2) of the taxes on real property is due on or before May 15. The remainder is due on or before 401 October 15. Real property taxes not paid by their due date are assessed a penalty which, depending on the type of property, increases from 2% to 4% on the day after the due date. In the case of the first installment of real property taxes due May 15, the penalty increases to 4% or 8% on June 1. Thereafter, an additional 1% penalty shall accrue each month through October 1 of the collection year for unpaid real property taxes. In the case of the second installment of real property taxes due October 15, the penalty increases to 6% or 8% on November 1 and increases again to 8% or 12% on December 1. Personal property taxes remaining unpaid on May 16 are deemed to be delinquent and a penalty of 8% attaches to the unpaid tax. However, personal property owned by a tax-exempt entity, but which is treated as taxable by virtue of a lease agreement, is subject to the same delinquent property tax penalties as real property. On the first business day of January of the year following collection all delinquencies are subject to an additional 2% penalty, and those delinquencies outstanding as of February 15 are filed for a tax lien judgment with the district court. By March 20 the clerk of court files a publication of legal action and a mailing of notice of action to delinquent parties. Those property interests not responding to this notice have judgment entered for the amount of the delinquency and associated penalties. The amount of the judgment is subject to a variable interest determined annually by the Department of Revenue, and equal to the adjusted prime rate charged by banks, but in no event is the rate less than 10% or more than 14%. Property owners subject to a tax lien judgment generally have five years (5) in the case of all property located outside of cities or in the case of residential homestead, agricultural homestead and seasonal residential recreational property located within cities or three (3) years with respect to other types of property to redeem the property. After expiration of the redemption period, unredeemed properties are declared tax forfeit with title held in trust by the State of Minnesota for the respective taxing districts. The county auditor, or equivalent thereof, then sells those properties not claimed for a public purpose at auction. The net proceeds of the sale are first dedicated to the satisfaction of outstanding special assessments on the parcel, with any remaining balance in most cases being divided on the following basis: county - 40%; town or city - 20%; and school district - 40%. Property Tax Credits (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes) In addition to adjusting the taxable value for various property types, primary elements of Minnesota's property tax relief system are: property tax levy reduction aids; the circuit breaker credit, which relates property taxes to income and provides relief on a sliding income scale; and targeted tax relief, which is aimed primarily at easing the effect of significant tax increases. The circuit breaker credit and targeted credits are reimbursed to the taxpayer upon application by the taxpayer. Property tax levy reduction aid includes educational aids, local governmental aid, equalization aid, homestead and agricultural credit aid (HACA) and disparity reduction aid. Levy Limitations for Counties and Cities (M.S. 275.70 to 275.74) (Laws 1999, Chapter 243, Article 6) Levy limitations are in effect for taxes levied in 1999 for all counties and cities with populations exceeding 2,500. Levy increases for cities are limited to its adjusted levy limit base from 1999 plus any increase due to growth in population. Counties are limited in their levy increases to the difference between their adjusted levy limit from 1999 plus any increase due to growth in population and one-half of the county's share of the net cost to the state for assumption of district court costs. The 2000 Legislature allowed the levy limit law to sunset for taxes payable in 2001. III-2 Certain property tax levies are authorized outside of the new overall levy limitation ("special levies"). Special levies include debt service levies for bonded indebtedness, excluding installment payments on conditional sales contracts, debt service on state-aid road bonds, payments on contracts for deed, any levies to pay debt service on tax increment revenue bonds, and lease payments under certificates of participation. In order to receive approval for any special levy claims outside of the overall levy limitation, requests for such special levies must be submitted to the Property Tax Division of the Department of Revenue on or before September 15th in the year in which the levy is to be made for collection in the following year. The Department of Revenue has the authority to approve, reduce or deny a special levy request. Final adjustments to all levies must be made by the Department of Revenue on or before December 10th. ` Debt Limitations All Minnesota municipalities (counties, cities, towns and school districts) are subject to statutory "net debt" limitations under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.53. Net debt is defined as the amount remaining after deducting from gross debt the amount of current revenues which are applicable within the current fiscal year to the payment of any debt and the aggregate of the principal of the following: 1. Obligations issued for improvements which are payable wholly or partially from the proceeds of special assessments levied upon benefited property. 2. Warrants or orders having no definite or fixed maturity. 3. Obligations payable wholly from the income from revenue producing conveniences. • 4. Obligations issued to create or maintain a permanent improvement revolving fund. 5. Obligations issued for the acquisition and betterment of public waterworks systems, and public lighting, heating or power systems, and any combination thereof, or for any other public convenience from which revenue is or may be derived. 6. Certain debt service loans and capital loans made to school districts. 7. Certain obligations to repay loans. 8. Obligations specifically excluded under the provisions of law authorizing their issuance. 9. Certain obligations to pay pension fund liabilities. 10. Debt service funds for the payment of principal and interest on obligations other than those described above. Levies for General Obligation Debt (Sections 475.61 and 475.74, Minnesota Statutes) Any municipality which issues general obligation debt must, at the time of issuance, certify levies to the county auditor of the county(ies) within which the municipality is situated. Such levies shall be in an amount that if collected in full will, together with estimates of other revenues pledged for payment of the obligations, produce at least five percent in excess of the amount needed to pay principal and interest when due. Notwithstanding any other limitations upon the ability of a taxing unit to levy taxes, its ability to levy taxes for a deficiency in prior levies for payment of general obligation indebtedness is without limitation as to rate or amount. III-3 Metropolitan Revenue Distribution (Chapter 473F, Minnesota Statutes) "Fiscal Disparities Law" The Charles R. Weaver Metropolitan Revenue Distribution Act, more commonly known as "Fiscal Disparities," was first implemented for taxes payable in 1975. Forty percent of the increase in commercial-industrial (including public utility and railroad) net tax capacity valuation since 1971 in each assessment district in the Minneapolis/St. Paul seven-county metropolitan area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, excluding the City of Northfield, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, excluding the City of New Prague, and Washington Counties) is contributed to an area-wide tax base. A distribution index, based on the factors of population and real property market value per capita, is employed in determining what proportion of the net tax capacity value in the area- wide tax base shall be distributed back to each assessment district. Iron Range Fiscal Disparities In 1996 Minnesota Legislature established a commercial-industrial tax base sharing program for the Iron Range that is modeled after the Twin Cities metropolitan area program commonly known as "fiscal disparities." Under the Iron Range Fiscal Disparities ("IRFD") program, 40% of the growth in each municipality's commercial-industrial tax base after 1995 is contributed to an area wide pool. The tax base pool is distributed back to municipalities on the basis of property wealth per capita; i.e., municipalities with lower property wealth receive greater distributions. For the purposes of the IRFD program, commercial-industrial property includes public utility property, but does not include commercial, seasonal, recreational property. All local taxing jurisdictions in the area, including counties, cities, towns (including unorganized towns), school districts, and special taxing districts, participate in the IRFD program. • The IRFD program is identical to the Twin Cities metropolitan area program except for the provisions summarized below: 1. The geographical area involved is the taconite tax relief area. This includes all of Cook County and Lake County, most of Itasca County and St. Louis County (the City of Duluth and surrounding area is not included), portions of Aitkin County and Crow Wing County, and a very small portion of Koochiching County. 2. The base year is 1995, so that 40% of the growth in commercial-industrial tax base after 1995 will be shared. The first tax year to be affected will be 1997/98. 3. Municipalities are not required to share commercial-industrial growth in tax increment financing (TIF) districts created before May 1, 1996. 4. Municipalities that consciously exclude commercial-industrial development are excluded from participation. This will be determined by a joint effort of the Department of Revenue (MnDOR) and the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board (IRRRB).

Larson, Liquor Operations Manager Subject: Informational Report on Wine in Grocery Stores Date: 03/26/2001 As you are aware, the wine in grocery store proposal (HF 1205) passed the sub- committee hearing by a 5-2 vote on Friday March 23rd, 2001. Now is the time for our City Council to get involved if they have concerns with this bill becoming law. believe that our City Council would not want this bill to become law due to the written language that removes all of the city's control over licensing. The proposal states that a city shall issue a license to a Supermarket that occupies a building space with at least 10,000 square feet and meets the qualifications in subdivisions 2 and 5 and section 340a.402 of the liquor statutes and rules. The proposal also states that a city shall renew the license if it finds that the licensee continues to meet the qualifications set forth in this subdivision. Under the grocer's definition of a supermarket, the proposal would allow Target, Super Target and Target Greatland, Wal-Mart, Costco, Sam's Club, K-Mart and other stores like these to sell wine. The proposal does not apply only to Cub and Rainbow grocery stores. This is a point that I don't believe the general public is aware of.. During the sub-committee hearing, the grocer's.talked about the bad publicity,that they have received regarding youth access issues. They claim that the liquor industry as well as the Doctor's and Police Chief's that testified against the proposal created a bad image of today's young adults. I contend that we have not created any image but rather recognized the facts as we see them on a daily basis, underage youth gain access to adult beverages. Reasonable thought leads me to believe that expanding access to alcohol would provide additional outlets for underage youths to obtain alcohol, either by theft or unlawful sales. The grocer's pledge to post signs, implement employee training and inspect identification for every sale does not preclude the fact that expansion of alcohol retailers in the fashion proposed could not prevent the inevitable, which is increased youth access to alcoholic beverages. With the proposal as defined,the focus has shifted from profits to youth access. While loss of revenue should be a concern, youth access to alcohol far out weigh dollars any day. Off-sale liquor stores concentrate on one product, alcohol. Minors typically are not . even employed by liquor stores. Most, if not all municipal liquor stores do'not hire anyone under the age of 21. This is a claim that supermarkets, Target, Wal-Mart and Sam's Club cannot make. Our City Council can make a difference. I believe they carry more clout with the Senators and Representatives than the grocers and the liquor industry combined. I would encourage them to contact the Senators and Representatives for our area and tell them their position on increased youth access to alcohol. • rh Northwest Quadrant Master Planning Project Planning Steering Committee Bus Tour Agenda Saturday, March 312001, 9 a.m. — 1 p.m. _ Meet at St. Anthony City Hall 3301 Silver Lake Road 9:00 a.m. 1) Meet at City Hall 9:0.0-9:30 2) Briefly review revised concept plan,review list of tour 'destinations - 9:30-1:00 3) our 1:00 P.M. 4) Return to City Hall Prior to taking the tour we will meet at City Hall to briefly review a revised concept plan. The revised concept is the product of input from the March 10 Community Forum,the March 15 Steering Committee meeting, and from the desire of the Committee to see a concept that is thought to be, upon initial analysis, financially feasible. We will also review the list of tour destinations. During the tour we will visit approximately ten destinations in the west-metro area that display an array of different residential and commercial building_types of the general nature that are being assumed in the concept planning for the Apache site. Due to a number of factors, walking tours of the sites are not scheduled to be part of the program.
