8 active investigations. He stated it is the efforts of the Fire Department, Code Enforcement,
9 Public Works, and the Police Department that keeps it flat.

FINDINGS OF FACT
The Planning Commission recommends approval of the Kenzington s request for an
amendment to the Parking Plan of their original Development Plan to allow for up to an
additional 30 parking spaces, based on the following Findings of Fact and subject to the
conditions listed below:
Findings of Fact
1. The property is a PUD overlay located in an R-4 zone which permits the
multiple -family residential development.
2. The property has been a PUD R-4 since 1985.
3. The R-4 Zoning District with the PUD overlay allowed for a Parking Plan that
allowed for one (1) parking space per unit and some spaces for visitors. Since
this is a retirement community, it was determined in 1985 that one (1) space
per unit was sufficient. Experience of the last twenty (20) years has shown
that two (2) parking spaces per unit should have been the minimum.
4. The property size is not sufficient enough to allow for two (2) spaces per unit
but the Kenzington Association has asked to amend the Parking Plan to
allow up to thirty (30) additional parking spaces.
5. There was some objection to the project by the residents but the objections
were mostly due to the possibility of increased association dues. Staff
advised the callers that the City has no ability to affect the Board's decision
regarding increased dues.
Conditions
Property to continue in the same use as a PUD R-4.
2. Twenty-four (24) parking spaces may be installed without additional
approvals as long as they do not require any additional curb cuts. The six
(6) parking spaces that are planned for the south portion of the site may
require a curb cut installation. Any additional curb cuts will require
approvals and permits from the City of St. Anthony and Hennepin
County as Kenzie Terrace NE is County Road 153.
The property is located at 2601 Kenzie Terrace NE is Torrens property with a meets and
bounds legal.

preceding month, whether or not such day is a business day.
3.03. Registration. The City shall appoint, and shall maintain, a bond registrar, transfer
agent and paying agent (the "Registrar"). 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 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.
(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 Bond is 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.
35
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered upon any 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
its 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 such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving
payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on such Bond and for all other
purposes, and all such payments so made to any such registered owner or upon the
owner's order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability of the City
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 (except
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 lost, stolen or destroyed, the Registrar shall deliver a new Bond of like
amount, number, interest rate, 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
such Bond lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and
charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon receipt by the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that such Bond was
lost, stolen or destroyed, and of the ownership thereof, and upon receipt by 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 cancelled by it and evidence of such cancellation
shall be given to the City. If the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed 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.
3.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank,

another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company 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 any Registrar upon thirty (30) days' notice and
upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar shall
deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar. On or before each
principal or interest due date, without further order of this Council, the Finance Director shall

part, and if in part, in the maturities selected by the City and, within any maturity, in $5,000

thereafter, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed plus
accrued interest to the date of redemption.
[(b) Bonds maturing in the year shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund

In the event that any Bonds maturing in the year are redeemed pursuant to (a) above by

such Bonds as a credit.
(c) Bonds maturing in the year shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund

*Final Maturity
In the event that any Bonds maturing in the year are redeemed pursuant to (a) above by
the City and canceled by the Registrar and not reissued, the Bonds maturing in the year so

pursuant to this subsection (c), such credit to be equal to the principal amount of the Bonds
maturing in the year so redeemed or canceled provided that the City has notified the
Register not less than thirty-five (35) days prior to the redemption date of its election to apply
such Bonds as a credit.
(d) At least thirty days prior to the date set for redemption of any Bond, the City shall
cause notice of the call for redemption to be mailed to the Registrar and to the registered owner
of each Bond to be redeemed, but 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. The notice of redemption shall specify the redemption date,
redemption price, the numbers, interest rates and CUSIP numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed
and the place at which the Bonds are to be surrendered for payment, which is the principal office
of the Registrar. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or
portions thereof 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 thereof shall cease to bear interest.
Bonds in a denomination larger than $5,000 may be redeemed in part in any integral
multiple of $5,000. The owner of any Bond redeemed in part shall receive without charge, upon
surrender of such Bond to the Registrar, one or more new Bonds in authorized denominations
equal in principal amount to be unredeemed portion of the Bond so surrendered.
3.06. Preparation 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 said signatures may be printed, engraved, or lithographed facsimiles
thereof. 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 such officer
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 such 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 so executed and authenticated, they shall be delivered
by the City Manager to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the
contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to see to
the application of the purchase price.
3.07. Securities Depository. (a) For purposes of this Section the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
"I3eneficial 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" shalt mean any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which
DTC holds Bonds as securities depository.
"Representation Letter" shall mean the Representation Letter from the City to DTC with
respect to the procedures of DTC presently on file with DTC.
(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, with respect to the selection by
DTC or any Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of
the Bonds, 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 the Representation Letter, 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
39
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 (d) 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 (d) 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 (d) hereof.
(d) 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.
Section 4. Security Provisions.
4.01. 2007A Improvement Construction Fund. There is hereby created a special
bookkeeping fund to be designated as the "2007A Improvement Construction Fund" (the
"Construction Fund"), to be held and administered by the Finance Director separate and apart
from all other funds of the City. The City appropriates to the Construction Fund (a)
$ _ of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, and (b) all collections of special
assessments levied for the Improvements until completion and payment of all costs of the
Improvements. The Construction Fund shall be used solely to defray expenses of the
Improvements, including but not limited to the transfer to the Bond Fund, created in Section 4.02
hereof, of amounts sufficient for the payment of interest and principal, if any, due upon the
Bonds prior to the completion and payment of all costs of the Improvements and the payment of
the expenses incurred by the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Upon
completion and payment of all costs of the Improvements, any balance of the proceeds of Bonds
remaining in the Construction Fund may be used to pay the cost, in whole or in part, of any other
improvements instituted pursuant to the Act, as directed by the City Council, but any balance of
such proceeds not so used shall be credited and paid to the Bond Fund.
4.02, 2007A Improvement Bond Fund. So long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and
any principal of or interest thereon unpaid, the Finance Director shall maintain a separate and
special bookkeeping fund designated "2007A Improvement Bond Fund" (the "Bond Fund") to be
used for no purpose other than the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and on
such other improvement bonds of the City as have been or may be directed to be paid therefrom.
The City irrevocably appropriates to the Bond Fund (a) all amounts in excess of $2,025,400
received from the Purchaser, plus capitalized interest in the amount of $73,985, (b) the
collections of special assessments and other funds to be credited and paid thereto in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.01, (c) any taxes levied in accordance with this resolution, and
(d) all such other moneys as shall be received and appropriated to the Bond Fund from time to
time. 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 Council covenants and agrees that it will each year levy a
sufficient amount to take care of any accumulated or anticipated deficiency, which levy is not
subject to any constitutional or statutory tax limitation.
There are hereby established two accounts in the Bond Fund, designated as the "Debt
Service Account' and the "Surplus Account." All money appropriated or to be deposited in the
Bond Fund shall be deposited as received into the Debt Service Account. On each February 1,
the Finance Director shall determine the amount on hand in the Debt Service Account. If such
amount is in excess of one -twelfth of the debt service payable from the Bond Fund in the
immediately preceding 12 months, the Finance Director shall promptly transfer the amount in
excess to the Surplus Account. The City appropriates to the Surplus Account any amounts to be
transferred thereto from the Debt Service Account as herein provided and all income derived
from the investment of amounts on hand in the Surplus Account. If at any time the amount on
hand in the 'Debt Service Account is insufficient to meet the requirements of the Bond Fund, the
Finance Director shall transfer to the Debt Service Account amounts on hand in the Surplus
Account to the extent necessary to cure such deficiency.
4.03. Additional Bonds. The City reserves the right to issue additional bonds payable
from the Bond Fund as may be required to finance costs of the Improvements not financed
hereby; provided that the City Council shall, prior to the delivery of such additional bonds, levy
or agree to levy by resolution sufficient additional special assessments and ad valorem taxes, if
any, which, together with other moneys or revenues pledged for the payment of said additional
obligations, will produce revenues at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to
pay when due the principal and interest on all bonds payable from the Bond Fund. The
additional special assessments, ad valorem taxes and moneys or revenues so pledged, levied or
agreed to be levied shall be irrevocably appropriated to the Bond Fund in the manner provided
by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61.
4.04. Levy of Special Assessments. The City hereby covenants and agrees that for
payment of the cost of each of the Improvements it will do and perform all acts and things
necessary for the full and valid levy of special assessments against all assessable lots, tracts and
parcels of land benefited thereby and located within the area proposed to be assessed therefor,
based upon the benefits received by each such lot, tract or parcel, in an aggregate principal
amount not less than twenty percent (20%) of the cost of the Improvements. In the event that
any such assessment shall be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of
land, due to any error, defect or irregularity in any action or proceeding taken or to be taken by
41
the City or this Council or any of the City's officers or employees, either in the making of such
assessment or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this Council
hereby covenant and agree that they will forthwith do all such further acts and take all such
further proceedings as may be required by law to make such assessments a valid and binding lien
upon such property. The Council presently estimates that the special assessments shall be in the
aggregate principal amount of $523,454 payable in not more than 15 installments, the first
installment to be collectible with taxes during the year 2007, and that deferred installments shall
bear interest at the rate of not less than 6.55% per annum from the date of the resolution levying
said assessment until December 31 of the year in which the installment is payable.
4.05. Ad Valorem Taxes. The full faith and credit and taxing powers of the City are
irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest in the Bonds
as the same become respectively due. For the purpose there is hereby levied upon all of the
taxable property of the City a direct, annual ad valorem tax, which shall be spread upon the tax
rolls prepared in each of the following years and collected with other taxes in the following years
and amounts as follows:
The foregoing tax levies together with special assessments are such that if collected in full they
will produce at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to pay when due the
principal of and interest on the Bonds. This tax shall be irrevocably appropriated to the Bond
Fund as long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid; provided that the City reserves the
right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.61.
4.06. Full Faith and Credit Pledged. The full faith and credit of the City are irrevocably
pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds, and the
Bonds shall be payable from the Bond Fund in accordance with the provisions and covenants

The foregoing tax levies together with special assessments are such that if collected in full they
will produce at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to pay when due the
principal of and interest on the Bonds. This tax shall be irrevocably appropriated to the Bond
Fund as long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid; provided that the City reserves the
right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.61.
4.06. Full Faith and Credit Pledged. The full faith and credit of the City are irrevocably
pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds, and the
Bonds shall be payable from the Bond Fund in accordance with the provisions and covenants
M
contained in this resolution. It is estimated that the special assessments and ad valorem taxes
levied and to be levied for the payment of the Improvements will be collected in amounts not
less than five percent (5%) in excess of the annual principal and interest requirements of the
Bonds. If the money on hand in the Bond Fund should at any time be insufficient for the
payment of principal and interest then due, this City shall pay the principal and interest out of
any fund of the City, and such other fund or funds shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient
money is available to the Bond Fund. If on October 1 in any year the sum of the balance in the
Bond Fund plus the amount of taxes and special assessments theretofore levied for the
Improvements and collectible through the end of the following calendar year is not sufficient to
pay when due all principal and interest become due on all I3onds payable therefrom in said
following calendar year, or the Bond Fund has incurred a deficiency in the manner provided in
this Section 4.06, a direct, irrepealable, ad valorem tax shall be levied on all taxable property
within the corporate limits of the City for the purpose of restoring such accumulated or
anticipated deficiency in accordance with the provisions of this resolution.
Section 5. Defeasance. When any Bond has been discharged as provided in this Section
5, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of such Bonds
shall cease, and such Bonds shall no longer be deemed outstanding under this Resolution. The
City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bond which is due on any date by
irrevocably 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, the City may nevertheless discharge
its obligations with respect thereto by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit. The City may also
discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bond called for redemption on any date
when it is prepayable according to their terms, by depositing with the Registrar on or before that
date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; provided that notice of the redemption
thereof has been duly given as provided in Section 3.05. 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 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 times and at such rates and
maturing on such dates as shall be required, without reinvestment, to pay all principal and
interest to become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been
duly provided for, to such earlier redemption date.
Section 6. County Auditor Registration, Certification of Proceedings Investment of
Money, Arbitrar;e and Official Statement.
6.01. County Auditor Registration. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to
file a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Auditors of Hennepin and Ramsey
Counties, together with such other information as the County Auditors shall require, and to
obtain from each County Auditor a certificate that the Bonds have been entered on his bond
register and the taxes described in Section 4.05 hereof have been levied as required by law.
6.02. Certification of Proceedings. The officers of the City and the County Auditors of
Hennepin and Ramsey Counties are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the
43
Purchaser and to Dorsey & Whitney LLP, Bond Counsel to the City, certified copies of all
proceedings and records of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates and information as
may be required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bonds as the
same appear from the books and records under their custody and control or as otherwise known
to them, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore
furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein.
6.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of the
Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any
action which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and Regulations promulgated
thereunder (the "Regulations"), as such are enacted or promulgated and in effect on the date of
issue of the Bonds, and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the
interest on the Bonds will not become subject to taxation under such Code and Regulations. The
Improvements are public improvements available for use by members of the general public on a
substantially equal basis. The City will not enter into any lease, use agreement or other contract
respecting the Improvements which would cause the Bonds to be considered "private activity
boards" or "private loan bonds" pursuant to Section 141 of the Code.
6.04. Arbitrage Rebate. For purposes of complying with the requirements of Section
148(f)(4)(C) of the Code relating to the exemption of certain small governmental units from the
rebate requirements of the Code, the City represents that:
(i) the City is a governmental unit with general taxing powers;
(ii) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" as defined in Section 141 of the Code
(Private Activity Bonds);
(iii) ninety-five percent of the net proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for the local
governmental purposes of the City; and
(iv) the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt bonds (other than Private Activity
Bonds) issued by the City in calendar year in which the Bonds are to be issued is
not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000.
Therefore, pursuant to the provisions of Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code, the City shall
not be required to comply with the arbitrage rebate requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of
Section 148(6) of the Code.
6.05. Investment of Money on Deposit in the Bond Fund. The Finance Director shall
ascertain monthly the amount on deposit in the Bond Fund. If the amount on deposit therein ever
exceeds the aggregate amount of principal and interest due and payable from the Bond Fund
through the next following February 1 plus a reasonable carryover as permitted by the
Regulations, such excess shall be used to prepay and redeem Bonds or be invested at a yield less
than or equal to the yield on the Bonds, based upon their amounts, maturities and interest rates
on their date of issue, computed by the actuarial method. The City reserves the right to amend
the provisions of this Section at any time, whether prior to or after the delivery of the Bonds, if
and to the extent that this Council determines that the provisions of this Section are not necessary
in order to ensure that the I3onds are not "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of
the Code and Regulations.
6.06. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and the 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 certification in accordance with
the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and the 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.
6.07. Interest Disallowance. 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 2007 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.
6.08. Official Statement. The Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated March 15,
2007, prepared and distributed on behalf of the City by Ehlers & Associates, Inc., is hereby
approved. Ehlers & Associates, Inc., is hereby authorized of behalf of the City to prepare and
distribute to the Purchaser a supplement to the Official Statement listing the offering price, the
interest rates, other information relating to the Bonds required to be included in the Official
Statement by Rule 15c2-12 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Within seven business days from the date hereof, the City
shall deliver to the Purchaser 30 copies of the Official Statement and such supplement. 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.

"SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. § 240.150-12), relating to

agreements for the benefit of the Owners (as hereinafter defined) from time to time of the

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 7 constitute a
default under the Bonds or under any other provision of this resolution.

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

respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, such Bond (including persons or entities holding Bonds

Bond for federal income tax purposes. As used herein, "Outstanding" when used as of any
particular time with reference to Bonds means all Bonds theretofore, or thereupon being,
authenticated and delivered by the Registrar under this Resolution except (i) Bonds theretofore
canceled by the Registrar or surrendered to the Registrar for cancellation; (ii) Bonds with respect
to which the liability of the City has been discharged in accordance with Section 5 hereof, and

of release, at the time such information is to be released.

(I) The covenants of the City in this Section 7 shall remain in effect so long as any
I3onds are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the obligations of the
City under this Section 7 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 7 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 7 (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 the City
Council filed in the office of the City Clerk 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 7 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) 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.
(3) This Section 7 is entered into to comply with the continuing disclosure provisions of
the Rule and should be construed so as to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of the
Rule.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Report Date: March 22, 2007 Agenda Section: VI. B & C
Meeting Date: March 17, 2007
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Resolution 07-034 & 07-035; Livable Communities Sidewalk
Grant for Stinson Boulevard and Silver Lake Road,
respectively.
MANAGER'S REVIEW: Resolution 07-034 & 07-035 are resolutions requesting
funding for the costs for construction of Stinson Boulevard
and Silver Lake Road sidewalks. These are in two areas of
the city that are in need of sidewalks or reconstruction of
existing sidewalks.
The request for funding is $285,000 for each sidewalk. The
funds are from the Federal Government through the City of
Minneapolis. The program is called Transit for Livable
Communities Non -Motorized Transportation Pilot
Program (NTP).
Staff from the City attended two workshops on this
program. There is a three step application process with
this being the first step of the three. The goal of applying
for these grants is to reduce the costs for the City of St.
Anthony and reinforces our mission statement on being
"walkable"'.

What is the Non -Motorized Transportation Pilot
The Non -Motorized Transportation Pilot Program (NTP) was
established in 2005 as part of the six-year federal
transportation law known as SAFETEA-LU. The law provides
$21.5 million to four communities nationwide to evaluate
how investments in planning, infrastructure, and public
education can increase rates of bicycling and walking and
reduce driving. The four pilot communities include
Minneapolis and its adjoining communities; Sheboygan
County, Wisconsin; Marin County, California; and Columbia,
Missouri. Transit for Livable Communities (TLC) was chosen
to administer the program in Minnesota.
The Board of Directors of Transit for Livable Communities is the decision-making
body for the program in Minneapolis and its adjoining communities. TLC is working
closely with its agency partners: the Federal Highway Administration, the
Minnesota Department of Transportation, and the Metropolitan Council.
TLC Board has established a 29 member committee to
ise it on implementation of the program. The committee
udes representatives from neighborhood organizations,
-profits, small businesses, citizen activists, elected
cials, and agency partners. The advisory committee
its monthly and is organized into three subcommittees -
neetings are open to the public.
TLC is working closely with the other pilot communities to
share information and ideas. TLC meets twice yearly with
staff from the other three pilot communities and participates in conference calls
twice per month.
Project/Location Eligibility
Transit for Livable Communities, in consultation with its its
advisory committee and agency partners, will decide how the
program funds will be used. A large percentage of the funding
wilt be granted out to units of government and agencies for
planning, education/promotion, and infrastructure Projects.
Although the program primarily focuses on Minneapolis, consideration will also be
given to projects that improve access by bicycle, transit, and walking into and out
of Minneapolis.
The adjoining communities share a physical border with Minneapolis and include:
Brooklyn Center, Columbia Heights, Edina, Fridley, Golden Valley, Lauderdale,
Metropolitan Airports Commission, Fort Snelling State Park, Richfield,
Robbinsdale, Roseville, St. Anthony, St. Louis Park, and St. Paul.
Timeline 53
TLC plans to have the first of three project solicitations (request for applications)
in early 2007.
Since this is a pilot project, measurement is a key
partof the program. The pilot communities will be
initiating several types of measurements to track the
results of the program. First, the four communities
collectively hired the Center for Transportation
Studies at the University of Minnesota to do baseline
and bookend surveys in the four communities. Those
mail and telephone surveys will track travel behavior
and attitudes.
In addition, there will be project specific surveying and bicycle and pedestrian
counts. This September, TLC organized bicycling and pedestrian counts at 20
locations in Minneapolis. 30 volunteers helped TLC with this work.
Program History
In 2005, Congress passed a $286.5 billion dollar transportation bill. The
transportation bill guaranteed over $3 billion for bicycling throughout the nation
over the next six years. This included $100 million for a Nonmotorized
Transportation Pilot Program (NTP) and $612 million for a National Safe Routes to
School Program, which will promote bicycling and walking to school in all 50
states.
