Chief Altonen advised there has been a minimal decline in foreclosures from this time last
year. Commissioner Jordan inquired if the city is offering any resources to homeowners
facing foreclosure to assist them through the process. Chief Altonen advised the city does
not have vouchers for housing, but the city is working to obtain a resource packet for
homeowners facing foreclosure. Commissioner Helland advised PRISM provides food and

minutes of the January 7,2009 meeting.
Crystal Reservoir Leak Repair Status
Randy Kloepper updated the commission on the repair status to the Crystal reservoir. They
are currently in the final process of drying out the reservoir and hope to bring the contractor
in next week to begin repairs. The repairs will be completed by April 15 and the reservoir
will be operational by May 1, 2009.

Updates on Emeraency Water Supply and Water Advisory Board with Minneapolis
Scott Harder presented maps to the commission that he had previously shown to the T AC
on Thursday, February 19, 2009. Harder had a memo from BARR Engineering and from
Braun and Caldwell, the team looked at five wells, two of the wells were located on General
Mills headquarter property, two of the wells were at General Mills' James Ford Bell site and
the fifth well was the New Hope reservoir and concluded that in an emergency there is
sustainable water available.
Joint Water Commission
Page 2 of 3
The first well to be used would be the New Hope reservoir, the second two wells would be
at General Mills and the last wells to be put into commission would be those located at the
James Ford Bell site.
One of the issues to be considered would be the cost of installing chemical feeds near the
water towers and the additional costs associated with piping the water to existing water
mains.
Another option would be to re-visit the 2004 study completed by Barr Engineering regarding
new wells that could possibly be phased in over the next five to ten years that would be set
closer to water treatment plant and the existing water mains.
MOVED by Norris, seconded by Burt and motion carried unanimously to approve the
motion for the JWC to move ahead with considering the costs of phasing in new wells over
the next five to ten years to serve as a emergency backup water plan or to have the new
wells considered in a blended plan where the JWC would supplement the City of
Minneapolis water with water from the proposed new wells. This task would not exceed
$13,500.
Approval of JWC Water Supplv Plan
Harder presented the Joint Water Supply Plan to TAC on Thursday, February 19, 2009 and
a motion was made to approve the plan as long as T AC had no issues with the changes
reflected by General Mills requesting that if an emergency should arise and General Mills
wells needed to be used, that the wells located at their headquarters would be considered
before the wells at James Ford Bell site and that the chemical feeds would not be stored on
General Mills' property.
MOVED by Norris, seconded by Burt and motion carried unanimously for the approval of
the JWC Water Supply Plan.
A~proval of an Aareement with EFG for work associated with JWC/Minneapolis
Water Advisorv Board
Harder suggested a proposal to create Governance Water Advisory Board and to recruit
members from the Task Force to sit on the board, Harder suggested Mayor Loomis and
Calvin Roy. The cost for this proposal would be $25,000.
MOVED by Norris, seconded by Burt and motion carried unanimously to approve the
expenditure of $25,000 for an agreement with EFG for work associated with creating a
Water Advisory Board.

Conservation rate has to be set by January 1, 2010.

Staff is recommending a contract be awarded for bituminous wearing course mix to both
Bituminous Roadways, Inc. and C.S. McCrossan Construction, Inc. The price per ton for the
asphalt is very close. When factoring in distance to plant, time for travel, product availability
and quantity amounts needed, it is in the City's best interest to have a contract with the two
lowest bidders.
Aggregate Industries, Inc. added provisions to their bid for winter sand, crushed rock for
stabilization and 3/8" minus trail aggregate that were not stipulated in the bid documents.
Therefore, their bids for those products were rejected.

North Metro Mayors,
I wanted to let you know that Senator Ann Rest and I have introduced HF1986/SF1883 which
provides a method of assuring that group homes have communicated with the city in which they
will be located. Representative Lyndon Carlson has also signed on as a co-author on the House
side. This bill ensures that group homes understand the local ordinances and requirements for
operating a business in the area and would have to present a signed document proving they have
communicated with the city. It is a small step (and a beginning) to addressing the concerns we
heard from your group and our constituents.
Although it is late in the process and will likely not be able to ~e included in its current form in
an omnibus bill, I am exploring other options for how to get this provision into law. There are a
few bills on which it could be amended.
If we are unsuccessful this session, rest assured that I will continue to pursue this legislation next
session. Over the interim, I will meet with advocates as well as community leaders to work on
other related issues. Thank you and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

the Holder thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney duly
authorized by the Holder 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. At the option of the Holder of any Bond in a
denomination greater than $5,000, such Bond may be exchanged for other Bonds of
authorized denominations, of the same maturity and a like aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of the Bond to be exchanged at the office of the Registrar. Whenever any
Bond is so surrendered for exchange the City shall execute and the Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver the Bonds which the Bondholder making the exchange is entitled
to receive.
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered for payment, transfer or exchange shall
be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is satisfied that
the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and
that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no liability for
the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or
unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in
whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the Bond Register as the absolute
owner of the Bond, whether the Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and interest on the Bond and for
all other purposes, and all payments made to or upon the order of such Holder shall be
valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of
the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes. Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Bonds (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 destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new Bond of like
amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any Bond
destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the
Registrar in connection therewit,; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost,
upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed,
stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an
appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it, in which
both the City and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds so surrendered to
the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall be given to
the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been
called for redemption in accordance with its terms it shall not be necessary to issue a new
Bond prior to payment.
(i) Authenticating Agent. The Registrar is hereby designated authenticating
agent for the Bonds, within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55,
Subdivision 1, as amended.
G) Valid Obligations. All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of Bonds
shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the
same benefits under this Resolution as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or
exchange.
2.07. Execution. Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under the
direction of the City Manager and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the
Mayor and the City Manager, provided that the signatures may be printed, engraved or
lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of
whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of
such 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 the date of delivery of such Bond.
Notwithstanding such execution, no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled
to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on
the Bond, substantially in the form provided in Section 2.09, has been executed by the manual
signature of an authorized representative ofthe Registrar. Certificates of authentication on
different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of
authentication on any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it has been duly authenticated and
delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have been prepared, executed and
authenticated, the City Manager shall deliver them to the Purchaser upon payment of the
purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore executed, and the Purchaser
shall not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
2.08. Securities Depository. (a) For purposes of this section the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
"Beneficial Owner" shall mean, whenever used with respect to a Bond, the person in
whose name such Bond is recorded as the beneficial owner of such Bond by a Participant on the
records of such Participant, or such person's subrogee.
"Cede & Co." shall mean Cede & Co., the nominee ofDTC, and any successor nominee
of DTC with respect to the Bonds.
"DTC" shall mean The Depository Trust Company of New York, New York.

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 ofDTC. 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 thereofto 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 ofDTC,
the Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on such Bond, and shall give all notices with
respect to such Bond, only to Cede & Co. in accordance with DTC's Operational Arrangements,
and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's
obligations with respect to the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid. No person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond for each separate
stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest.
Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to
substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new
nominee in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.
(c) In the event the City determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners
that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of bond certificates, the City may notify DTC and
the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of
Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance
with paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect
to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and the Registrar and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be
transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.
(d) The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to DTC, if not previously
filed with DTC, by the Mayor or City Manager is hereby authorized and directed.
(e) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under paragraph (b)
or (c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar of
the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted
transferee in accordance with the provisions ofthis 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 3. GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS. SERIES 2009A
CONSTRUCTION FUND. There is hereby established on the official books and records of the
City a separate fund designated the General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2009A
Construction Fund (the Construction Fund). To the Construction Fund there shall be credited
from the proceeds of the Bonds, exclusive of unused discount, accrued and capitalized interest, if
any, an amount equal to the estimated cost of the Project. There shall also be credited to the
Construction Fund all special assessments collected with respect to the Project until all costs of
the Project have been fully paid. All proceeds of the Bonds deposited in the Construction Fund
will be expended solely for the payment of the costs of the Project. To the extent required by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.091, subdivision 4, the City shall maintain a separate account
within the Construction Fund to record expenditures for each improvement. The City Manager
shall maintain the Construction Fund until all costs and expenses incurred by the City in
connection with the construction of the improvements have been paid. All special assessments
on hand in the Construction Fund when terminated or thereafter received, and any Bond
proceeds not so transferred, shall be credited to the General Obligation Improvement Bonds,
Series 2009 A Bond Fund.
SECTION 4. GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS. SERIES 2009A BOND
FUND. There is hereby established on the official books and records of the City a separate fund
designated the General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2009A Bond Fund (the Bond
Fund). Into the Bond Fund shall be paid (a) the amounts specified in Section 3 above, (b)
capitalized interest, accrued interest and unused bond discount, if any, received from the
Purchaser upon delivery of the Bonds, (c) any special assessments and taxes collected pursuant
to Sections 5 or 6 hereof, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 hereof and (d) any other
funds appropriated by the City Council for the payment of the Bonds. The money on hand in the
Bond Fund from time to time shall be used only to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
If the balance on hand in the Bond Fund is at any time insufficient to pay principal and interest
then due on the Bonds, such amounts shall be paid from other money on hand in other funds of
the City, which other funds shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient money becomes
available in the Bond Fund. The Bond Fund shall be maintained until the City has paid, or made
provision for the payment of, all of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
There are hereby established two accounts in the Bond Fund, designated as the "Debt
Service Account" and the "Surplus Account." There shall initially be deposited into the Debt
Service Account upon the issuance of the Bonds the amount set forth in (b) above. Thereafter,
during each Bond Year (i.e., each twelve month period commencing on February 2 and ending
on the following February 1), as monies are received into the Bond Fund, the City Manager shall
first deposit such monies into the Debt Service Account until an amount has been appropriated
thereto sufficient to pay all principal and interest due on the Bonds through the end of the Bond
Year. All subsequent monies received in the Bond Fund during the Bond Year.shall be
appropriated to the Surplus Account. If at any time the amount on hand in the Debt Service
Account is insufficient for the payment of principal and interest then due, the City Manager shall
transfer to the Debt Service Account amounts on hand in the Surplus Account to the extent
necessary to cure such deficiency. Investment earnings (and losses) on amounts from time to
time held in the Debt Service Account and Surplus Account shall be credited or charged to said
accounts.
If the aggregate 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 Surplus
Account in the Bond Fund when the balance therein is sufficient, and the City Council covenants
and agrees that it will each year levy a sufficient amount of ad valorem taxes to take care of any
accumulated or anticipated deficiency, which levy is not subject to any constitutional or statutory
limitation.
In order to ensure compliance with the Code and applicable Regulations (all as defined in
Section 8.01 hereof), the Finance Director, upon allocation of any funds to the Bond Fund, shall
ascertain the balance then on hand in the Bond Fund. If it exceeds the amount of principal and
interest on the Bonds to become due and payable through the next following February 1, plus a
reasonable carryover equal to 1I12th of the debt service due in the following bond year, the
excess shall (unless an opinion is received from bond counsel stating that another use shall not
interfere with the tax exemption of the bonds) be used to prepay or purchase Bonds, or be
invested at a yield which does not exceed the yield on the Bonds calculated in accordance with
Section 148 of the Code.
SECTION 5. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. The City hereby covenants and agrees that, for the
payment of the costs of the Project, the City has done or will do and perform all acts and things
necessary for the final and valid levy of special assessments in an amount not less than 20% of
the cost of the Project financed by the Bonds. The City estimates it has levied or will levy
special assessments in the original aggregate principal amount of $1,505,000. It is estimated that
the principal and interest on such special assessments will be levied beginning in 2009 and
collected in the years 2010.2019 in the amounts shown on Appendix I attached hereto. The
principal of the special assessments shall be made payable in annual installments, with interest as
established by this City Council in accordance with law on installments thereof from time to time
remaining unpaid. In the event any special assessment shall at any time be held invalid with
respect to any lot or tract of land, due to any error, defect or irregularity in any action or
proceeding taken or to be taken by the City or by this City Council or by any of the officers or
employees of the City, either in the making of such special assessment or in the performance of
any condition precedent thereto, the City hereby covenants and agrees that it will forthwith do all
such further things and take all such further proceedings as shall be required by law to make such
special assessment a valid and binding lien upon said property.
SECTION 6. PLEDGE OF TAXING POWERS. For the prompt and full payment of the
principal of and interest on the Bonds as such payments respectively come due, the full faith,
credit and unlimited taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. In
order to produce aggregate amounts which, together with the collections of special assessments
as set forth in Section 5, will produce amounts not less than 5% in excess of the amounts needed
to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds, ad valorem taxes are hereby
levied on all taxable property in the City. The taxes will be levied and collected in years and
amounts shown on the attached levy computation. Said taxes shall be irrepealable as long as any
of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to
reduce said levies in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61.
SECTION 7. DEFEASANCE. When all ofthe Bonds have been discharged as provided in this
Section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this Resolution to the Holders of the
Bonds shall cease. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are
due on any date by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be
discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with
interest accrued from the due date to the date of such deposit. The City may also discharge its
obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called for redemption on any date when they
are prepayable according to their terms by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date an
amount equal to the principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, which are then due,
provided that notice of such redemption has been duly given as provided herein. The City may
also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of
law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow,
with the Registrar or with a bank or trust company qualified by law to act as an escrow agent for
this purpose, cash or securities which are authorized by law to be so deposited for such purpose,
bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing or callable at the holder's
option on such dates as shall be required to pay all principal and interest to become due thereon
to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been irrevocably provided for, to an
earlier designated redemption date, provided, however, that if such deposit is made more than
ninety days before the maturity date or specified redemption date of the Bonds to be discharged,
the City shall have received a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit
does not adversely affect the exemption of interest on any Bonds from federal income taxation
and a written report of an accountant or investment banking firm verifying that the deposit is
sufficient to pay when due all of the principal and interest on the Bonds to be discharged on and
before their maturity dates or earlier designated redemption date.
SECTION 8. TAX COVENANTS; ARBITRAGE MA TIERS AND CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE.
8.01. General Tax Covenant. The City agrees with the registered owners 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 that would cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income
of the recipient under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) and applicable
Treasury Regulations (the Regulations), and agrees to take any and all actions within its powers
to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income of the
recipient under the Code and the Regulations. All proceeds of the Bonds deposited in the
Construction Fund will be expended solely for the payment of the costs of the Project. The
Project is and will be owned and maintained by the City and available for use by members of the
general public on a substantially equal basis. The City shall not enter into any lease,
management contract, use agreement, capacity agreement or other agreement with any non-
governmental person relating to the use of the Project, or any portion thereof, or security for the
payment of the Bonds which might cause the Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or
"private loan bonds" pursuant to Section 141 of the Code.
8.02. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and City Manager being the officers of the
City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this Resolution, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance with
Section 148 of the Code, and applicable Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and
circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds which make it
reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would
cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.
8.03. Arbitrage Rebate. The City acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to the rebate
requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The City covenants and agrees to retain such
records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amounts at
such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Regulations to preserve the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, unless the
Bonds qualify for an exception from the rebate requirement pursuant to one of the spending
exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 of the Regulations and no "gross proceeds" of the Bonds
(other than amounts constituting a "bona fide debt service fund") arise during or after the
expenditure ofthe original proceeds thereof.
8.04. Reimbursement. The City certifies that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used
by the City to reimburse itself for any expenditure with respect to the Project which the City paid
or will have paid more than 60 days prior to the issuance of the Bonds unless, with respect to
such prior expenditures, the City shall have made a declaration of official intent which complies
with the provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations; provided that this certification shall
not apply (i) with respect to certain de minimis expenditures, if any, with respect to the Project
meeting the requirements of Section 1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations, or (ii) with respect to
"preliminary expenditures" for the Project as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations,
including engineering or architectural expenses and similar preparatory expenses, which in the
aggregate do not exceed 20% of the "issue price" of the Bonds. The City has adopted a
resolution on November 7, 2007, expressing an intent to reimburse Project expenditures from
proceeds of tax-exempt bonds. -
8.05. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Bonds are hereby designated as "qualified
tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code relating to the
disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions, and the City hereby finds that the
reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (within the meaning of Section
265(b)(3) of the Code) which will be issued by the City and all subordinate entities during
calendar year 2009 does not exceed $30,000,000.
8.06 Continuing Disclosure. (a) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the public
availability of certain information relating to the Bonds and the security therefor and to permit
the Purchaser and other participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to
comply with amendments to Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. S 240.15c2-12), relating to continuing disclosure (as in effect
and interpreted from time to time, the Rule), which will enhance the marketability of the Bonds,
the City hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Owners (as
hereinafter defined) from time to time of the outstanding Bonds. The City is the only obligated
person in respect of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for purposes of identifying the
entities in respect of which continuing disclosure must be made. The City has complied in all
material respects with any undertaking previously entered into by it under the Rule. If the City
fails to comply with any provisions of this section, any person aggrieved thereby, including the
Owners of any outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear
necessary or appropriate to enforce performance and observance of any agreement or covenant
contained in this section, including an action for a writ of mandamus or specific performance.
Direct, indirect, consequential and punitive damages shall not be recoverable for any default
hereunder to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, in no event shall a default under this section constitute a default under the Bonds or under
any other provision of this resolution. As used in this section, Owner or Bondowner means, in
respect of a Bond, the registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register
maintained by the Registrar or any Beneficial Owner (as hereinafter defined) thereof, if such
Beneficial Owner provides to the Registrar evidence of such beneficial ownership in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar. As used herein, Beneficial Owner means, in
respect of a Bond, any person or entity which (a) 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.
(b) Information To Be Disclosed. The City will provide, in the manner set forth in subsection
(c) hereof, either directly or indirectly through an agent designated by the City, the following

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, the information for such fiscal year or for the period most recently

the date specified, the City shall provide on or before such date unaudited financial statements in

document incorporated by reference is a final official statement, it must be available from the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The City shall clearly identify in the Disclosure
Information each document so incorporated by reference. If any part of the Disclosure
Information can no longer be generated because the operations of the City have materially
changed or been discontinued, such Disclosure Information need no longer be provided if the
City includes in the Disclosure Information a statement to such effect; provided, however, if such
operations have been replaced by other City operations in respect of which data is not included in
the Disclosure Information and the City determines that certain specified data regarding such
replacement operations would be a Material Fact (as defined in paragraph (2) hereof), then, from
and after such determination, the Disclosure Information shall include such additional specified
data regarding the replacement operations. If the Disclosure Information is changed or this
section is amended as permitted by this paragraph (b)(l) or subsection (d), then the City shall
include in the next Disclosure Information to be delivered hereunder, to the extent necessary, an
explanation of the reasons for the amendment and the effect of any change in the type of
financial information or operating data provided.

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 hereunder 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.
(3) In a timely manner, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events or
conditions:
(A) the failure of the City to provide the Disclosure Information required under

together with a copy of such amendment or supplement and any explanation
provided by the City under subsection (d)(2);
(C) the termination of the obligations of the City under this section pursuant to
subsection (d);

statements constituting a portion of the Disclosure Information are prepared;

subsection (b) to the following entities by telecopy, overnight delivery, mail or other means, as
appropriate:

recognized municipal securities information repository under the Rule and to any
state information depository then designated or operated by the State of Minnesota
as contemplated by the Rule (the State Depository), if any;
(2) the information described in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (b), to the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and to the State Depository, if any; and
(3) the information described in subsection (b), to any rating agency then maintaining a
rating of the Bonds at the request of the City and, at the expense of such Bondowner,
to any Bondowner who requests in writing such information, at the time of
transmission under paragraphs (1) or (2) of this subsection (c), as the case may be,
or, if such information is transmitted with a subsequent time of release, at the time
such information is to be released.
(d) Term; Amendments; Interpretation.
(1) The covenants of the City in this section shall remain in effect so long as any Bonds
are outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the obligations
of the City under this section shall terminate and be without further effect as of any
date on which the City delivers to the Registrar an opinion of Bond Counsel to the
effect that, because of legislative action or final judicial or administrative actions or
proceedings, the failure of the City to comply with the requirements of this section
will not cause participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to be
in violation of the Rule or other applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or any statutes or laws successory thereto or amendatory
thereof.
(2) This section (and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information) may be
amended or supplemented by the City from time to time, without notice to (except as
provided in paragraph (c )(3) hereof) or the consent of the Owners of any Bonds, by a
resolution ofthis Council filed in the office of the recording officer of the City
accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, who may rely on certificates of the
City and others and the opinion may be subject to customary qualifications, to the
effect that: (i) such amendment or supplement (a) is made in connection with a
change in circumstances that arises from a change in law or regulation or a change in
the identity, nature or status of the City or the type of operations conducted by the
City, or (b) is required by, or better complies with, the provisions of paragraph (b)( 5)
of the Rule; (ii) this section as so amended or supplemented would have complied
with the requirements of paragraph (b )( 5) of the Rule at the time of the primary
offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any change in circumstances applicable under
clause (i)(a) and assuming that the Rule as in effect and interpreted at the time of the
amendment or supplement was in effect at the time of the primary offering; and (iii)
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 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.

or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Obligations. Upon surrender for transfer of any Obligation 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

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

registered owner for exchange the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or more
new Obligations of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the
registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. All Obligations surrendered upon any transfer or exchange
shall be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the
Issuer.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Obligation is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is satisfied that
the endorsement on such Obligation or separate instrument of transfer is valid and
genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no
liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems
improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer and the Registrar may treat the person in
whose name any Obligation is at any time registered in the bond register as the absolute
owner of the Obligation, whether the Obligation shall be overdue or not, for the purpose
of receiving payment of or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Obligation
and for all other purposes, and all payments made to any registered owner or upon the
owner's order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon
Obligation to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes. Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Obligations
(except for an exchange upon a partial redemption of an Obligation), 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 Obligations. In case any Obligation
shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new
Obligation of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution
for and upon cancellation of any such mutilated Obligation or in lieu of and in
substitution for any Obligation destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the
reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith, and, in the case
of an Obligation destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence
satisfactory to it that the Obligation was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership
thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form,
substance and amount satisfactory to it, in which both the Issuer and the Registrar shall
be named as obligees. All Obligations so surrendered to the Registrar shall be canceled
by it and evidence of such cancellation shall be given to the Issuer. If the mutilated,
destroyed, stolen or lost Obligation has already matured or been called for redemption in
accordance with its terms it shall not be necessary to issue a new Obligation prior to
payment.
(i) Authenticating Agent. The Registrar is hereby designated authenticating
agent for the Obligations, within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55,
Subdivision I, as amended.
G) Valid Obligations. All Obligations issued upon any transfer or exchange of
Obligations shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Resolution as the Obligations surrendered upon
such transfer or exchange.
2.07. Execution. Authentication and Delivery. The Obligations shall be prepared
under the direction of the City Manager and shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the
signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that the signatures may be printed,
engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose signature or a
facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Obligations shall cease to be such officer before
the delivery of any Obligation, 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 Obligation shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or
entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of
authentication on the Obligation has been duly executed by the manual signature of an
authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Obligations
need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on
each Obligation shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under
this Resolution. When the Obligations have been prepared, executed and authenticated, the City
Manager shall deliver them to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance
with the contract of sale heretofore executed, and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to see to
the application of the purchase price.
2.08. Securities Depository. (a) For purposes of this section the following terms
shall have the following meanings:
"Beneficial Owner" shall mean, whenever used with respect to an Obligation, the
person in whose name such Obligation is recorded as the beneficial owner of such Obligation by
a Participant on the records of such Participant, or such person's subrogee.
"Cede & Co." shall mean Cede & Co., the nominee ofDTC, and any successor
nominee of DTC with respect to the Obligations.
"DTC" shall mean The Depository Trust Company of New York, New York.
"Participant" shall mean any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for
which DTC holds Obligations as securities depository.
"Representation Letter" shall mean the Representation Letter pursuant to which
the sender agrees to comply with DTC's Operational Arrangements.
(b) The Obligations shall be initially issued as separately authenticated fully
registered obligations, and one Obligation shall be issued in the principal amount of each stated
maturity of the Obligations. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Obligations shall be
registered in the bond register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee ofDTC. The Registrar
and the Issuer may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Obligations
registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of or interest on the
Obligations, selecting the Obligations or portions thereof to be redeemed, if any, giving any
notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners of Obligations under this resolution,
registering the transfer of Obligations, and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Registrar nor the Issuer shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Registrar nor
the Issuer shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any person claiming a
beneficial ownership interest in the Obligations 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
Obligations, 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 Obligations, with respect to any notice which is permitted or
required to be given to owners of Obligations 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 Obligations, or with respect to any consent given or other action taken by DTC as
registered owner of the Obligations. So long as any Obligation is registered in the name of Cede
& Co., as nominee of DTC, the Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on such
Obligation, and shall give all notices with respect to such Obligation, only to Cede & Co. in
accordance with DTC's Operational Arrangements, and all such payments shall be valid and
effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to the principal of
and interest on the Obligations to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than
DTC shall receive an authenticated Obligation for each separate stated maturity evidencing the
obligation of the Issuer 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 Obligations will be transferable to such new nominee in accordance
with paragraph (e) hereof.
(c) In the event the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest of the
Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Obligations in the form of bond certificates, the
Issuer may notify DTC and the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the
availability through DTC of Obligations in the form of certificates. In such event, the
Obligations will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine to
discontinue providing its services with respect to the Obligations at any time by giving notice to
the Issuer and the Registrar and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under
applicable law. In such event the Obligations will be transferable in accordance with paragraph
(e) hereof.
(d) The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to DTC, if not
previously filed with DTC, by the Mayor or City Manager is hereby authorized and directed.
(e) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Obligations is permitted under
paragraph (b) or (c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the
Registrar of the Obligations 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 Obligations in the form of certificates are issued to owners other than Cede & Co., its
successor as nominee for DTC as owner of all the Obligations, or another securities depository as
owner of all the Obligations, the provisions of this resolution shall also apply to all matters
relating thereto, including, without limitation, the printing of such Obligations in the form of
bond certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such Obligations in
the form of bond certificates.

representations of the Issuer as to the correctness of all statements contained therein.

dated ,2009, prepared and delivered on behalf of the Issuer by Springsted
Incorporated, is hereby approved. Springsted Incorporated is hereby authorized on behalf of the

Disclosure.
7.01. General Tax Covenant. The Issuer covenants and agrees with the registered
owners from time to time of the Obligations that it will not take, or permit to be taken by any of
its officers, employees or agents, any actions that would cause interest on the Obligations to
become includable in gross income of the recipient under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code) and applicable Treasury Regulations (the Regulations), and covenants to
take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Obligations will not
become includable in gross income of the recipient under the Code and the Regulations. In
particular, the Issuer covenants and agrees that all proceeds of the Obligations will be expended
solely for the payment of the costs of acquisition and installation of capital equipment to be
owned and maintained by the Issuer and used in the Issuer's general governmental operations.
The Issuer shall not enter into any lease, use or other agreement with any non-governmental
person relating to the use of the equipment or security for the payment of the Obligations which
might cause the Obligations to be considered "private activity bonds" or "private loan bonds"
pursuant to Section 141 of the Code.
7.02. Certification. The Mayor and City Manager being the officers of the Issuer
charged with the responsibility for issuing the Obligations pursuant to this Resolution, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance with
the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and
circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Obligations which make it
reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Obligations will not be used in a manner that would
cause the Obligations to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.
7.03. Arbitrage Rebate. The Issuer acknowledges that the Obligations are subject
to the rebate requirements of Section 148(t) of the Code. The Issuer covenants and agrees to
retain such records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such
amounts at such times as are required under said Section 148(t) and applicable Regulations to
preserve the exclusion of interest on the Obligations from gross income for federal income tax
purposes, unless the Obligations qualify for an exception from the rebate requirement pursuant to
one of the spending exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 ofthe Regulations and no "gross
proceeds" of the Obligations (other than amounts constituting a "bona fide debt service fund")
arise during or after the expenditure of the original proceeds thereof.
7.04. Reimbursement. The Issuer certifies that the proceeds of the Obligations
will not be used by the Issuer to reimburse itself for any expenditure with respect to the
equipment which the Issuer paid or will have paid more than 60 days prior to the issuance of the
Obligations unless, with respect to such prior expenditures, the Issuer shall have made a
declaration of official intent which complies with the provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the
Regulations, provided that this certification shall not apply (i) with respect to certain de minimis
expenditures, if any, with respect to the equipment meeting the requirements of Section 1.150-
2(f)(1) of the Regulations, or (ii) with respect to "preliminary expenditures" for the equipment as
defined in Section 1. 150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations which in the aggregate do not exceed 20% of
the "issue price" of the Obligations.
7.05. Oualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Obligations are hereby designated
as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code relating to
the disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions, and the Issuer hereby finds that the
reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (within the meaning of Section
265(b)(3) of the Code) which will be issued by the Issuer and all subordinate entities during
calendar year 2009 does not exceed $30,000,000.
7.06. Continuing Disclosure. (a) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the
public availability of certain information relating to the Obligations and the security therefor and
to permit the Purchaser and other participating underwriters in the primary offering of the
Obligations to comply with amendments to Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. S 240.15c2-12), relating to continuing disclosure (as
in effect and interpreted from time to time, the Rule), which will enhance the marketability of the
Obligations, the Issuer hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for the benefit of
the Owners (as hereinafter defined) from time to time of the Outstanding Obligations. The Issuer
is the only obligated person in respect of the Obligations within the meaning of the Rule for
purposes of identifying the entities in respect of which continuing disclosure must be made. The
Issuer has complied in all material respects with any undertaking previously entered into by it
under the Rule.
If the Issuer fails to comply with any provisions of this section, any person aggrieved
thereby, including the Owners of any Outstanding Obligations, may take whatever action at law
or in equity may appear necessary or appropriate to enforce performance and observance of any
agreement or covenant contained in this section, including an action for a writ of mandamus or
specific performance. Direct, indirect, consequential and punitive damages shall not be
recoverable for any default hereunder to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall a default under this section constitute a default
under the Obligations or under any other provision of this resolution.
As used in this section, Owner or Obligation Owner means, in respect of an Obligation,
the registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register maintained by the Registrar
or any Beneficial Owner (as hereinafter defined) thereof, if such Beneficial Owner provides to
the Registrar evidence of such beneficial ownership in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Registrar. As used herein, Beneficial Owner means, in respect of an
Obligation, 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 Obligation (including persons or entities
holding Obligations through nominees, depositories or other intermediaries), or (ii) is treated as
the owner of the Obligation for federal income tax purposes.

financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with such generally
accepted accounting principles for reasons beyond the reasonable control of the
Issuer, 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
Issuer; and

the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The Issuer shall clearly identify in the Disclosure
Information each document so incorporated by reference.

operations of the Issuer have materially changed or been discontinued, such Disclosure
Information need no longer be provided if the Issuer includes in the Disclosure Information a
statement to such effect, provided, however, that if such operations have been replaced by other
Issuer operations in respect of which data is not included in the Disclosure Information and the
Issuer determines that certain specified data regarding such replacement operations would be a
Material Fact (as defined in paragraph (2) hereof), then, from and after such determination, the
Disclosure Information shall include such additional specified data regarding the replacement
operations.
If the Disclosure Information is changed or this section is amended as permitted by this
paragraph (b )(1) or subsection (d), then the Issuer shall include in the next Disclosure
Information to be delivered hereunder, to the extent necessary, an explanation of the reasons for
the amendment and the effect of any change in the type of financial information or operating data

Obligation or, if not disclosed, would significantly alter the total information otherwise available
to an investor from the Official Statement, information disclosed hereunder or information
generally available to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Material Fact is also
an event that would be deemed material for purposes of the purchase, holding or sale of an
Obligation within the meaning of applicable federal securities laws, as interpreted at the time of
discovery of the occurrence of the event.
(3) In a timely manner, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events or
conditions:
(A) the failure of the Issuer to provide the Disclosure Information required
under paragraph (b )( 1) at the time specified thereunder;
(B) the amendment or supplementing of this section pursuant to subsection

statements constituting a portion of the Disclosure Information are prepared; and

any state information depository then designated or operated by the State of Minnesota as
contemplated by the Rule (the State Depository), if any;
(2) the information described in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (b), to the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and to the State Depository, if any; and

maintaining a rating of the Obligations at the request of the Issuer and, at the expense of
such Obligation Owner, to any Obligation Owner who requests in writing such
information, at the time of transmission under paragraphs (1) or (2) of this subsection (c),
as the case may be, or, if such information is transmitted with a subsequent time of
release, at the time such information is to be released.
(d) Term; Amendments; Interpretation.
(1) The covenants of the Issuer in this section shall remain in effect so long as
any Obligations are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the
obligations of the Issuer under this section shall terminate and be without further effect as
of any date on which the Issuer 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 Issuer to comply with the requirements of this section will
not cause participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Obligations to be in
violation of the Rule or other applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or any statutes or laws successory thereto or amendatory thereof.
(2) This section (and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information)
may be amended or supplemented by the Issuer from time to time, without notice to
(except as provided in paragraph (c )(3) hereof) or the consent of the Owners of any
Obligations, by a resolution of this Council filed in the office of the recording officer of
the Issuer accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, who may rely on certificates of
the Issuer 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 Issuer or the type of operations conducted by the Issuer, or (b) is
required by, or better complies with, the provisions of paragraph (b)( 5) of the. Rule; (ii)
this section as so amended or supplemented would have complied with the requirements
of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule at the time of the primary offering of the Obligations,
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 Obligation Owners under the Rule.
If the Disclosure Information is so amended, the Issuer 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 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.

National Association, St. Paul, Minnesota, as the initial bond registrar, transfer agent and
paying agent (the "Registrar"). The Mayor and City Manager are authorized to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Issuer, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or
consolidation ofthe Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a
bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or one ofthe states
ofthe United States and authorized by law to conduct such business, such corporation
shall be authorized to act as successor Registrar. The Issuer agrees to pay the reasonable
and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The Issuer reserves
the right to remove the Registrar, effective upon not less than thirty days' written notice
and upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Registrar, in which event the
predecessor Registrar shall deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor
Registrar and shall deliver the Bond Register to the successor Registrar.
2.6. Registration. The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the Issuer
and the Registrar with respect thereto shall be as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar shall keep at its principal corporate trust
office a bond register (the "Bond Register") in which the Registrar shall provide
for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and
exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged. The term
Holder or Bondholder as used herein shall mean the person (whether a natural
person, corporation, association, partnership, trust, governmental unit, or other
legal entity) in whose name a Bond is registered in the Bond Register.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond duly
endorsed by the Holder thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof
or by an attorney duly authorized by the Holder 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
4
registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each
interest payment date and until such interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. Whenever any Bonds are surrendered by the
registered owner for exchange the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or
more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested
by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered upon any transfer or exchange
shall be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed
by the Issuer.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to
the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is
satisfied that the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer is
valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The
Registrar shall incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers
which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer and the Registrar may treat the
person in whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the bond register as
the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond shall be overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of, the principal of and interest on
the Bond and for all other purposes, and all payments made to any registered
owner or upon the owner's order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon the 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 destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new
Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or in lieu of
and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the
reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith, and, in
the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of
evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the
ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or
indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it, in which both the
Issuer and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds so surrendered to
the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall be
given to the Issuer. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already
5
matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it shall not be
necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Authenticating Agent. The Registrar is hereby designated
authenticating agent for the Bonds, within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.55, Subdivision 1, as amended.
(j) Valid Obligations. All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of
Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Resolution as the Bonds surrendered upon
such transfer or exchange.
2.7. Execution. Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under
the direction of the City Manager and shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the
signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that the signatures may be
printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose
signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be
such officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature or facsimile shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if 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 the Bond has been duly
executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar.
Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same
representative. The executed certificate of authentication on each Bond shall be
conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution.
When the Bonds have been prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Manager shall
deliver them to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the
contract of sale heretofore executed, and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the
application of the purchase price.
2.8. Securities Depository. (a) For purposes of this section the following terms
shall have the following meanings:
"Beneficial Owner" shall mean, whenever used with respect to a Bond, the
person in whose name such Bond is recorded as the beneficial owner of such Bond by a
Participant on the records of such Participant, or such person's subrogee.
"Cede & Co." shall mean Cede & Co., the nominee ofDTC, and any
successor nominee of DTC with respect to the Bonds.
"DTC" shall mean The Depository Trust Company of New York, New
York.
"Participant" shall mean any broker-dealer, bank or other financial
institution for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository.
6

which the sender agrees to comply with DTC's Operational Arrangements.
(b) The Bonds shall be initially issued as separately authenticated fully
registered bonds, and one Bond shall be issued in the principal amount of each stated
maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be
registered in the bond register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The
Registrar and the Issuer 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 Issuer shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer 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 DTC's
Operational Arrangements, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully
satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to the principal of and interest
on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC shall
receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation
of the Issuer to make payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the
Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in
accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.
(c) In the event the Issuer 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
Issuer may notify DTC and the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of
the availability through DTC of Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the
Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine
to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving
notice to the Issuer and the Registrar and discharging its responsibilities with respect
thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be transferable in accordance
with paragraph (e) hereof.
7
(d) The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to DTC, if not
previously filed with DTC, by the Mayor or City Manager is hereby authorized and
directed.
(e) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under
paragraph (b) or (c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt
by the Registrar of the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments
of transfer to the permitted transferee in accordance with the provisions of this resolution.
In the event Bonds in the form of certificates are issued to owners other than Cede & Co.,
its successor as nominee for DTC as owner of all the Bonds, or another securities
depository as owner of all the Bonds, the provisions of this resolution shall also apply to
all matters relating thereto, including, without limitation, the printing of such Bonds in
the form of bond certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on
such Bonds in the form of bond certificates.

3.2. General Obligation Improvement Refunding Bonds. Series 2009C Bond

12
thereon unpaid, the City Manager shall maintain a separate debt service fund on the
official books and records of the Issuer to be known as the General Obligation
Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2009C Bond Fund (the "Bond Fund"), and the
principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable from the Bond Fund. The Issuer
irrevocably appropriates to the Bond Fund (a) the amount specified in Section 3.1 above;
(b) all receipts of principal and interest on the investments held in the escrow account

principal of and interest on the Bonds as such payments respectively become due, the full
faith, credit and unlimited taxing powers of the Issuer shall be and are hereby irrevocably

when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued from the due date to the
date of such deposit. The Issuer may also discharge its obligations with respect to any
prepayable Bonds called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according

notice of such redemption has been duly given as provided herein. The Issuer may also
at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions

an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are authorized by law to be so
deposited for such purpose, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and
maturing or callable at the holder's option on such dates as shall be required to pay all
principal and interest to become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as
herein required has been irrevocably provided for, to an earlier designated redemption
date, provided, however, that if such deposit is made more than ninety days before the
maturity date or specified redemption date of the Bonds to be discharged, the Issuer shall
have received a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit does not
adversely affect the exemption of interest on any Bonds from federal income taxation and
a written report of an accountant or investment banking firm verifying that the deposit is
sufficient to pay when due all of the principal and interest on the Bonds to be discharged
on and before their maturity dates or earlier designated redemption date.
SECTION 5. CERTIFICATION OF PROCEEDINGS.
5.1. Registration of Bonds. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed
to file a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County
(the "County Auditor") and obtain a certificate that the Bonds have been duly entered
upon the County Auditor's bond register and the tax required by law has been levied.
5.2. Authentication of Transcript. The officers of the Issuer and the County
Auditor are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and to
Dorsey & Whitney LLP, Bond Counsel, certified copies of all proceedings and records
relating to the Bonds and such other affidavits, certificates and information as may be
required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bonds, as the
same appear from the books and records in their custody and control or as otherwise
known to them, and all such certified copies, affidavits and certificates, including any
heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the Issuer as to the correctness of
all statements contained therein.
5.3. Official Statement. The Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated April
7,2009, prepared and delivered on behalf of the Issuer by Springsted Incorporated, is
hereby approved, and the officers of the Issuer are hereby authorized and directed to
execute such certificates as may be appropriate concerning the accuracy, completeness
and sufficiency thereof. Springsted Incorporated is hereby authorized on behalf of the
Issuer to prepare and distribute to the Purchaser within seven business days from the date

adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The officers of the Issuer are hereby authorized and directed to
execute such certificates as may be appropriate concerning the accuracy, completeness
and sufficiency of the Official Statement.
SECTION 6. TAX COVENANTS; ARBITRAGE MATTERS AND CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE.
14
6.1. General Tax Covenant. The Issuer covenants and agrees with the registered
owners 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 includable in gross income of the recipient under the Code and applicable
Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations"), and covenants to take any and all affirmative
actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become
includable in the gross income of the recipient under the Code and the Regulations. The
Issuer has not and will not enter into any lease, management contract, operating
agreement, use agreement or other contract relating to the use or operation of the
facilities refinanced by the Bonds, or any portion thereof, or security for the payment of
the Bonds which would cause the Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or
"private loan bonds" pursuant to Section 141 of the Code.
6.2. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and City Manager, being the officers of
the Issuer charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this
resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a
certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and Section
1.148- 2(b) of 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.
6.3. Arbitrage Rebate. The Issuer acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to the
rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The Issuer covenants and agrees to
retain such records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay
such amounts at such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable
Regulations to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for
federal income tax purposes, unless the Bonds qualify for an exception from the rebate
requirement pursuant to one of the spending exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 of the
Regulations and no "gross proceeds" of the Bonds (other than amounts constituting a
"bona fide debt service fund") arise during or after the expenditure of the original
proceeds thereof.
6.4. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The City Council hereby designates the
Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b )(3) of the
Code relating to the disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions, and hereby
finds that the reasonably anticipated amount of 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 the purpose of this representation) and are not excluded
from this calculation by Section 265(b)(3)(C)(ii) of the Code which will be issued by the
Issuer and all subordinate entities during calendar year 2009 does not exceed
$30,000,000.
6.5. Redemption of Refunded Bonds. The City Manager is hereby directed to
advise U.S. Bank National Association, as paying agent for the Refunded Bonds, to call
the Refunded Bonds for redemption and prepayment on the Crossover Date and to give
15
notice of redemption in accordance with the resolution authorizing the issuance of the
Refunded Bonds. A form of notice of redemption is attached hereto.
6.6. Continuing Disclosure. (a) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the
public availability of certain information relating to the Bonds and the security therefor
and to permit the Purchaser and other participating underwriters in the primary offering
of the Bonds to comply with amendments to Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the SEC
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. S 240. 15c2-12), relating to
continuing disclosure (as in effect and interpreted from time to time, the "Rule"), which
will enhance the marketability of the Bonds, the Issuer hereby makes the following
covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Owners (as hereinafter defined) from
time to time of the Outstanding Bonds. The Issuer 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 Issuer has complied in all
material respects with any undertaking previously entered into by it under the Rule. If
the Issuer fails to comply with any provisions of this section, any person aggrieved
thereby, including the Owners of any Outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at
law or in equity may appear necessary or appropriate to enforce performance and
observance of any agreement or covenant contained in this section, including an action
for a writ of mandamus or specific performance. Direct, indirect, consequential and
punitive damages shall not be recoverable for any default hereunder to the extent
permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event

provision of this resolution. As used in this section, Owner or Bondowner means, in
respect of a Bond, the registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register
maintained by the Registrar or any Beneficial Owner (as hereinafter defined) thereof, if

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.

conditions:

and

maintaining a rating of the Bonds at the request of the Issuer and, at the
expense of such Bondowner, to any Bondowner who requests in writing such
information, at the time of transmission under paragraphs (1) or (2) of this
subsection (c), as the case may be, or, if such information is transmitted with
a subsequent time of release, at the time such information is to be released.
(d) Term: Amendments: Interpretation.
(1) The covenants of the Issuer in this section shall remain in effect so long as
any Bonds are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
however, the obligations of the Issuer under this section shall terminate and
be without further effect as of any date on which the Issuer 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 Issuer to comply with the requirements of this section will not cause
participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to be in
violation of the Rule or other applicable requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any statutes or laws successory
thereto or amendatory thereof.
(2) This section (and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information)
may be amended or supplemented by the Issuer from time to time, without
notice to (except as provided in paragraph (c)(3) hereof) or the consent ofthe
Owners of any Bonds, by a resolution of this Council filed in the office of the
recording officer of the Issuer accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel,
who may rely on certificates of the Issuer 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 Issuer or the type of operations conducted by the Issuer, or (b) is
required by, or better complies with, the provisions of paragraph (b)(5) of the
Rule; (ii) this section as so amended or supplemented would have complied
with the requirements of paragraph (b)( 5) of the Rule at the time of the
primary offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any change in circumstances
applicable under clause (i)(a) and assuming that the Rule as in effect and
interpreted at the time of the amendment or supplement was in effect at the
19
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 Issuer 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 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.

Agenda Item
6. B. First Consideration - Ordinance #417 - Amending Section 10.85, Broadening the Type
of Nuisance Activity Leading to Repeat Nuisance Call Service Fees
Prepared By
Stacy Altonen, Chief of Police
Summary
The proposed revisions to City Code Section 10.85, Repeat Nuisance Call Service Fee,
broaden the nature of nuisance call types that can be included in the tally of nuisance activity
calls occurring at a particular address; specifically, nuisance events would not be required to
be of the "same or similar" kind.
This revision will permit nuisance abatement enforcement of all nuisance activity, regardless
of the nature of the violation. Police Department personnel have responded to several
addresses on various nuisance complaints, but have been limited in enforcement efforts due
to current City Code language which states the violations must be of "same or similar" kind.
