MOTION: Moved by Bergman and seconded by Rosenquist to approve the March 27, 2017 meeting
minutes as amended. Motion carried unanimously.
5. Brookview Golf Update - Ben Disch
Disch began by updating the Commission on the 2016 season. He said it was an excellent season and
record year for the course, which remains in the top 3-4 played courses in Minnesota. He said it was
also a record year for the driving range, which opened early and closed late.
Disch said the last two years have seen record sales in food and beverage. He said the addition of lawn
bowling and liquor service in 2014 has changed their business dramatically. He added that
merchandise had record sales last year we well.
Disch added that they are maxed out on all their leagues and that Brookview's Men's League is the
largest in the state.
This season, the driving range opened in March and lawn bowling opens next week. They will be
offering free lawn bowling for the community on Friday, May 5 from 6-9 pm.
Disch noted several improvements that have been completed, including: 60-70 additional parking
spots added at the driving range, driving range building improvements, construction of a new putting
green, re -sodding of the driving range tee, and renovation of 90% of the bunkers, to name a few.
Disch then discussed parking during construction, issues they are having, and ideas for improving the
situation.
6. Review 2016 Open Space and Recreation Commission Annual Report
Birno said the annual report is complete and ready to be presented to the City Council on May 9, 2017
by Chair Cornelius.
7. Medley and Wesley Tennis Courts/Park Planning
Birno provided an update on the plans to remove and not replace the Glenview tennis courts this fall.
Wildwood tennis courts will also be removed this fall and replaced with six Pickle Ball courts, which
will be scheduled to open in the summer of 2018.
Open Space & Recreation Commission Minutes
April 24, 2017
Page 2
Discussion then moved to the Medley tennis courts (reconstructed in 1991) and the Wesley Park
tennis courts (constructed in 1970's). Both sets of courts have deteriorated to the point they cannot be
repaired. City Council has appropriated $300,000 to partner with the Park CIP budget of $60,000 to
replace failing tennis courts. Staff is recommending that the Wesley Park tennis courts be removed
and reconstructed to four/five courts with new fence and lighting. Construction would begin in the
fall of 2017 and be completed summer of 2018. Staff is also recommending that Medley Park tennis
courts be removed, not replaced, and consider the location for a future community garden.
Discussion also included future use of the ball field #2 area at Medley Park, which is no longer
appropriate for baseball/softball activities. Both staff and commission members agree this could
potentially be a location for an off -leash pet exercise area in the future and the location should be
explored for that amenity.
The Commission is very supportive of staff recommendations and looks forward to the plans for the
improvements.
Staff will work to pull together improvement information to share with neighborhoods and work with
consultants on an RFP packet for the Wildwood Pickle Ball courts and the Wesley Park tennis courts.
The May Open Space and Recreation Commission meeting will focus on defining what a community
garden in Golden Valley consists of and developing location recommendations to recommend to the
City Council.
8. Commission and Staff Updates
Brookview Construction and Driving Range Building Improvements - Birno said roof and mason
work will begin on May 1. He said concrete work is complete. In the indoor play area, a few
adjustments will need to be made to the sprinkler design. The driving range building windows and
siding are complete, and concrete work in the cold storage area will be done by weeks end.
2016/17 Deer Removal Update - Birno said due to the lack of snow, it was a bad year for removals.
He said they plan to implement the program again next year.
Run The Valley at Meadowbrook on April 29, 2017 - Birno said the event has been moved to
Meadowbrook this year due to construction at Brookview.
Schaper Park Challenge Course and All Inclusive Play Structure - Birno said the project is moving
forward as a partnership with Three Rivers Park District, and grants received from Paul's Pals and
Minnesota Wisconsin Playgrounds. Anticipated completion is September 2017.
Lakeview Park Update - Birno said due to moisture in the park, the project has been on hold. He said
additional fill will be added. The final work will be done as soon as it's dry enough for the footings to
be installed.

Prepared By
Bert Tracy, Public Works Maintenance Manager
Tim Kieffer, Street Maintenance Supervisor
Summary
The 2017-2021 Storm Sewer Capital Improvement Program (SS-42, page 90) includes $56,000 for
the purchase of a new V-Box Smart Spreader.
The V-Box Smart Spreader is utilized for winter application of granular and liquid deicers. This
unit is a slide in V-Box that fits into the dump body of the City’s new single axle dump truck
purchased in 2016. The Smart Spreader budgeted for 2017 was part of a test program with
Highway Equipment Company and Towmaster Truck Equipment Company comparing Xzalt Smart
Spreader performance and product savings against standard V-Box spreaders. Golden Valley staff
agreed to participate in testing the Xzalt Smart Spreader at no cost to the city; product testing
was completed during the 2016-2017 snow and ice season. Staff was impressed with the
performance and product savings of the Smart Spreader and are recommending the purchase of
the Smart Spreader.
The Minnesota Materials Management Division has awarded the following contract for the Xzalt
Smart Spreader to Towmaster Truck Equipment Company.

3. E. 2. Authorize purchase of Fuel Tank Sump
Prepared By
Bert Tracy, Public Works Maintenance Manager
Marshall Beugen, Vehicle Maintenance Foreman
Summary
Fuel tank sumps for the diesel fuel tanks continually fill with water creating a concern with fuel
mixing with water in the sumps. The fuel tank sump and outer casing fuel transfer piping has
been damaged and requires emergency replacement in order to correct the environmental
concerns of fuel filtering into the ground. Also, staff was recently informed of new Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency rules that will require fuel tank sumps to be hydrostatically tested and
overfill protected by 2018.
The emergency diesel fuel tank sump repair was not anticipated during the 2017 budget process;
therefore, the repair will be paid for with fund balance. With this fund, an hourly rate is charged
to departments that use their service to pay for all costs incurred. The Street Maintenance
Division will remove and replace the concrete pad over the diesel tanks as part of the project,
thus reducing the financial impact of the emergency repair.
Staff solicited quotes from two contractors for the replacement of the damaged fuel tank sump
and carrier pipe. The results are as follows:
Lube Tech, Incorporated $34,800
S & R Sales, Incorporated $38,235
Recommended Action
Motion to approve the purchase of a diesel tank fuel sump and carrier pipe from Lube Tech,
Incorporated in the amount of $34,800.

3. G. Authorize Execution of a Flood Damage Reduction Assistance Grant Agreement with Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver P.E., City Engineer
Tom Hoffman, Water Resources Technician
Summary
The City has been aware of localized flooding issues in an alley north of Olympia Street between
Mendelssohn Avenue North and Independence Avenue North. During intense rainfall events, the
storm sewer that runs underneath Trunk Highway 169 has flow capacity issues. The flow issues
greatly restrict the amount of stormwater that is able to flow through this pipe and into Medicine
Lake. In the course of these events, the storm sewer discharges stormwater into the alley located
north of Olympia Street. The discharge of stormwater and runoff within the adjacent block causes
inundation in the yards, driveways, garages, and basements of three adjacent properties. These
structures have experienced repetitive flood damage.
These issues came to light again during an open house for the 2015 Pavement Management Program
(2015 PMP). The feasibility report for the proposed Lakeview Park Pond Study and the 2015 PMP
Feasibility Study investigated potential remedies to the storm sewer capacity issues. Among the
options investigated was the installation of a new storm sewer to Medicine Lake or the
reconstruction of the existing pipe to provide needed capacity. These alternatives were deemed
unfeasible due to high construction costs, inability to provide needed storm sewer capacity
downstream, and soil stability issues. It was determined that there is no feasible physical solution to
prevent the four properties from repetitive flooding; and the only way to prevent future property
damage is to acquire and remove the homes.
Staff has been working with the property owners who have experienced repetitive flooding to
resolve this issue for several years. In 2016, the property owners of 9450 Olympia Street worked
with staff to participate in a voluntary acquisition of their home. Staff has been working with the
other three affected property owners to voluntarily acquire these properties. The land acquired will
become a permanent public open space. Staff is also looking into establishing a water quality
treatment facility on these properties. This facility would treat storm water before it is discharged
into Medicine Lake, which is considered an impaired water by the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources (MN DNR).
Staff has discussed utilizing the Flood Damage Reduction Grant Assistance Program with the MN
DNR. This Program aids local governments with funding to acquire at risk properties. The DNR will be
contributing $200,000 for the acquisition and demolition of the properties. The City will be
contributing $500,000 from its Capital Improvement Program Storm Sewer SS-34 (Page 89). The
funding from the DNR and the City’s contribution will adequately fund this project.
The next step in the grant application process, is for the City to adopt a Resolution specifying that it
will complete the project if the state funding is inadequate.

Summary
The City has been working with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) to
voluntarily acquire properties that are subject to repeated flood damage in the Lakeview Park
area of the City. The property at 1601 Independence Avenue North is one of four properties
subject to repeat flooding that cannot be resolved due to site conditions. The acquisition and
removal of the homes has been determined to be the only feasible option to eliminate the risk of
repetitive flood damage. The first of the four homes, located at 9450 Olympia Street, was
purchased and demolished in 2016 utilizing MN DNR Flood Damage Reduction Grants funding.
The City retained Patchin, Messner, Dodd & Brumm to prepare an appraisal report for the
property to determine the fair market value of the home. An offer to purchase the home for
$222,000 was accepted by the owners who have signed an offer letter (attached) agreeing to sell
the home to the City.
Attached is a resolution authorizing the City Manager to purchase the property at 1601
Independence Avenue North for $222,000. Funding for this project is part of the City of Golden
Valley’s Capital Improvement Program (SS-34) includes $500,000 for the mitigation of flood
prone properties. Additionally, the MN DNR is contributing $272,481.37 for the acquisition of the
three remaining flood prone properties. The combined funding of the CIP and MN DNR grant is
adequate to complete the purchase and removal of this home and the two remaining properties.

believes the benefits of attracting, retaining and motivating employees through an
Employee Recognition Program supports employee job satisfaction, which in turn impacts
cooperation and productivity. The result is to provide excellent public and customer service
to better serve the interests of the citizens of the community.
The Employee Recognition Program is considered “additional compensation” for work
performed by employees and is entirely dependent on receiving funding from year-to-year.

Golden Valley Employee Handbook.
The Program will include:

City of Golden Valley pin and a Valley Values coffee mug with a welcome letter and
mini chocolates (de minimis value).
2. Employees reaching 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 & 40 years of service will receive a

3. N. Authorizing Reporting Requirements for the Local Performance Measurement Program
Prepared By
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
In 2010, the Legislature created the Council on Local Results and Innovation. In 2011, the Council
released a standard set of ten performance measures for cities that will aid residents, taxpayers,
and state and local elected officials in providing services and measure residents’ opinions of
those services. The City of Golden Valley did not participate early-on due to the cost of
conducting a survey that was statically valid.
In 2013 and 2016, the City hired The Morris Leatherman Company (formally Decision Resources)
to conduct a survey and include questions to give us the information required for the program.
By participating in the standard measures/performance measurement program, the City is
eligible for reimbursement of $0.14 per capita or around $3,020.

4. A. MS4 General Permit, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program, 2016 Annual Report to the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Tom Hoffman, Water Resources Technician
Summary
As authorized by the Clean Water Act of 1972 and its amendments, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) oversees the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit program which regulates point and non-point sources of pollution into our nation’s
waterways. Point sources include pipes and ditches, and non-point sources include overland
precipitation runoff. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) manages the permit
program for EPA in Minnesota.
Cities like Golden Valley, which operate their own storm sewer systems, are required to obtain a
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) General Permit from the MPCA. The permit
allows Golden Valley to discharge stormwater into public receiving waters. It also requires that
the City develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) to reduce
the contamination of stormwater runoff and prohibit illicit discharges.
Golden Valley’s SWPPP addresses the six minimum control measures outlined in the MS4 permit
requirements:
1.Public Education and Outreach
2.Public Involvement and Participation
3.Illicit Discharge, Detection, and Elimination
4.Construction Site Runoff Control
5.Post Construction Runoff Control
6.Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
The holding of an annual public meeting and preparation of an annual report are requirements of
the MS4 permit. The meeting has been advertised for June 20, 2017, at 6:30 pm. The City must
create a record of the public comments received, either written or oral. The public input must be
considered and a record of decision must be added to the annual report to MPCA.

Agency (MPCA) its permit application for operation of the City’s Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) on March 10, 2003; and
WHEREAS, the permit requires that the City develop a plan for regulating and
improving stormwater discharge commonly referred to as the Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Program (SWPPP); and
WHEREAS, staff has been working to meet the objectives set forth in the SWPPP
and is required to report to the MPCA on the status of the plan’s implementation on an

4. B. Public Hearing - Amending Section 11.04 Temporary Uses regarding Mobile Food Vendors in
Residential Zoning Districts
Prepared By
Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Summary
Several property owners have inquired with the City about the opportunity to host a mobile food
vendor (commonly referred to as a food truck) at their residence for a special event such as a
graduation party. When mobile food vendors were first allowed in the City in 2015, staff
recommended that the City allow time for a trial period before allowing mobile food vendors in
Residential Zoning Districts. The City has not received any complaints, so staff and the Planning
Commission are recommending that mobile food vendors be allowed on residential properties.
Recommended Changes for Mobile Food Vendors in Residential Districts:
•Limited to 2 food truck permits in a 12 month period and no seasonal permits
•8 hour time limit for each permit
•Food sales must be limited to the private party and food sales to the general public are
only permitted when a Special Event Permit is approved by the City
•If a permit is revoked due to a violation, staff may prohibit the issuance of an additional
permit for the vendor for up to 13 months (30 days for all other Zoning Districts)
Recommended Changes for Mobile Food Vendors in all Zoning Districts:
•Parking in the street permitted, but service window must face curbside
•Minimum distance of 10 feet between any structure and the food truck and minimum
distance of 5 feet between truck and side and rear yard property lines
•The placement, duration, or any other applicable requirements may be superseded by the
provisions of an approved Special Event Permit

valley Physical Development Department
763-593-80951'763-593-8109(fax)
Date: April 12, 2017
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: Zoning Code Text Amendment—Allowing Mobile Food Vendors in Residential
Zoning Districts
Background
In 2015,the City Council adopted policy to allow mobile food vendors, or more commonly known
as food trucks, to operate in various parts of the city with a permit. Several property owners have
inquired with the City about the opportunity to host a mobile food vendor at their residence for a
special event such as a graduation party or wedding reception. When mobile food vendors were
first allowed in the City in 2015, staff recommended that the City allow time for a trial period
before allowing mobile food vendors in Residential Zoning Districts. This trial period allowed staff
to assess and resolve any issues with the regulations. Since then, 46 permits have been issued.
The City has not received any complaints, so the existing regulations can be utilized as they were
originally written.
Summary of Proposed Regulations for Mobile Food Vendors in Residential Districts:
• Permit is granted on a per-day basis and costs$40/day
• A permit can be granted for 1 day at a time; seasonal permits not allowed
• Proof of Mobile Food License from the Hennepin County or State of Minnesota required
• Liquor License is not included with the permit
• Hours of operation limited to 8 am-10 pm
• Activities on the property are subject to existing City noise ordinances
• Vendor and property owner responsible for trash removal, clean-up, and any damages
generated by operation
• Vendor must park in driveway or other impervious surface, must not impede traffic flow
or pedestrian walkways, and cannot park on grass or in the street
• Vendors may not be located 200 feet (at its closest point) from the entrance or from the
outdoor seating area of another food-serving establishment (with the exception of other
mobile food vendors that have received a permit)
• Vendors may not be located within 1,000 feet of schools while they are in session unless
written permission is granted by the school principal
• On multi-family residential properties, vendor cannot occupy parking spaces on the
parking lot that are needed to meet the minimum parking requirement unless the
property owner can demonstrate that the spaces are not needed during the vendor's
hours of operation
Recommendation
Staff recommends amending section 11.04 of the Zoning Code allowing Mobile Food Vendors in
Residential Zoning Districts.

2. Informal Public Hearing —Zoning Code Text Amendment— Mobile Food
Vending in Residential Zoning Districts —ZO00-112
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To consider allowing mobile food vending in Residential Zoning
Districts
Goellner reminded the Commission that the City adopted an ordinance regarding mobile
food vending in 2015, however it did not include Residential Zoning Districts at the time
because the City wanted to have a trial period first. She explained that there have been
some recent inquiries from residents who would like to have food trucks at their homes
for parties, receptions, etc. and staff is proposing that mobile food vending be allowed in
Residential Zoning Districts with a permit.
Goellner discussed the proposed regulations for residential permits which include:
allowing food trucks from 8 am to 10 pm, requiring a $40 per day fee, allowing one day
permits only, prohibiting liquor sales, requiring trash removal, requiring a state or county
food license, requiring that existing noise ordinance regulations be followed, allowing
food trucks for private parties only, not for sales to the general public, requiring parking
on an impervious surface/driveway, prohibiting overnight parking, and for multifamily
buildings, a mobile food vendor cannot park in a way that creates a parking shortage.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
April 12, 2017
Page 2
Waldhauser asked why staff is recommending that food trucks not be allowed to park in
the street. Goellner said staff is concerned about obstructing the street, causing lines to
form in the street, and potentially obstructing traffic. Goellner said she thinks the City will
receive more complaints if food trucks are allowed to park in the street. She added that
if a food truck is parked in a driveway it sends a message that it is a private event and
not open to the public.
Kluchka referred to the requirements regarding overnight parking of commercial
vehicles and asked about the definition of a commercial vehicle and the location of the
commercial vehicle regulations. Zimmerman said there is a definition for commercial
vehicles and it has to do with the weight, height, and length, etc. of the vehicle. Baker
said he has seen other types of mobile uses and asked if those are allowed.
Zimmerman said the City Code is silent on those types of uses in residential areas, but
they could be addressed as other types of mobile uses in the future. Baker said he
wants to be sure there are no loopholes created.
Johnson questioned how the food trucks would enforce selling their food only to the
applicant's guests, and not to the public. Goellner said it would be enforced on a
complaint basis. Johnson suggested requiring food trucks to display a sign that says
private party only.
Blum asked if staff has considered parking restrictions around a food truck or requiring
them to be a certain distance from other structures or items. Goellner said the biggest
impact the City can have is making sure the food trucks themselves aren't parked in the
street. She added that if a person has a party at their house now, they can take up all
the parking on the street so the only thing the City can control is overnight parking.
Zimmerman stated that staff would check with the Fire Department regarding any
recommendations they may have regarding the distance between food trucks and
homes or other structures.
Baker opened the public hearing.
Larry Kueny, 7303 Ridgeway Road, said the City has pushed the message of buying
local and he questions how many restaurants in Golden Valley that have great catering
will be hurt by this ordinance. He asked if City parks allow food trucks and if so, he
suggested people have their parties there. He stated that if his neighbor had a food
truck the only place they could park it would be 20 feet away from his house and he
doesn't want to smell food cooking and hear noise all day long. He said this ordinance
doesn't make any sense to him and said the City really needs to think this through.
Hearing and seeing no one else wishing to comment. Baker closed the public hearing.
Blum said the idea of requiring a private event sign to be posted on food trucks is a
good idea because he doesn't think the food truck operators are going to turn away
customers so the City needs to proactively put people on notice.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
April 12, 2017
Page 3
Waldhauser said allowing food trucks in residential areas is an alternative to hiring a
caterer. She questioned if the food truck would be selling food to guests or if applicants
would be paying for the food truck to give the food to their guests. Goellner said the
applicants would be paying for the food truck and giving the food to their guests.
Waldhauser said that would help with the concern of food trucks being private versus
public. Baker referred Subdivision 2(A)(17) in the proposed ordinance and said "limiting
sales" to the public might not be the right wording. Johnson suggested using the words
"limiting service" instead. Blum stated that some food trucks might have a hybrid service
where the applicant pays for some of the food and the guests supplement the rest so
there may be some purchasing of food from the trucks occurring.
Baker again referred Subdivision 2(A)(17) in the proposed ordinance and said he
doesn't like the words "not intended" in regard to serving the general public because it
doesn't seem strong enough. He questioned if there should be a requirement that
neighbors be notified because if someone hates the idea maybe the applicant could
plan their event elsewhere. Zimmerman stated that residents having parties now could
be barbequing all day or running a generator for a bouncy house for several hours, so
what is being proposed is not that far from what is already currently allowed.
Waldhauser agreed and said the City can't legislate being neighborly and that people
have to put up with inconveniences now and then.
Kluchka suggested the language in Subdivision 2(A)(17) be amended to state that
vending operations "will not" serve the general public. He said he likes the idea of
requiring food trucks to be located a certain distance from other structures. He also
suggested that food trucks in residential areas be required to have internal generators
only and that they can only be a certain maximum width as measured from mirror to
mirror. He said he would not say no to allowing parking on the street, but he would like
to see a maximum operating time. He questioned if food trucks are allowed in the City
parks. Goellner said yes. Kluchka said he would like to make it convenient for
Brookview to serve food in their park.
Blum stated that the proximity of food trucks to other structures is important because
allowing a food truck right next to someone's living room is unsightly and he would like
to mitigate that. He said that if the City finds it over-burdensome in the future they can
reconsider the language and that he wants to encourage business in Golden Valley but
not at the expense of residents.
Waldhauser noted that allowing parking on the street would help with the concern about
proximity to other structures because the food trucks would be further away from the
house. Blum said he thinks there are other issues with parking in the street. Baker
suggesting adding language to the ordinance that would require that the serving window
be on the applicant's side of the property so people would not have to line up in the
street.
Waldhauser said she likes the idea of a time limit but she doesn't think vendors will stay
longer than they have to and the ordinance has a 10 pm limit. Baker agreed and said
those types of details would be in a contract.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
April 12, 2017
Page 4
Waldhauser questioned if language should be added in order to prevent someone from
having a food truck every weekend. Goellner said it could be limited to once per year.
Johnson referred to language in the proposed ordinance regarding the distance from
schools and asked if the words "when school is in session" means the school day or the
school year. Goellner said it refers to the school day and that the language is trying to
prevent kids from leaving school to go to a food truck.
Johnson said he thinks noise will be an issue and he agrees with the idea of requiring
internal generators. He said he also agrees there should be a time limit of six or eight
hours and he would prefer that food trucks park on driveways. Blenker said she agrees
that an event would feel more private if the food truck is parked on the driveway.
Waldhauser said she would like parking on the street to be an option. Baker agreed but
with certain limitations because he doesn't want to cause parking issues for other
neighbors.
Kluchka reiterated that he would like to see an appropriate distance between houses
and food trucks.
Johnson referred to the comment that allowing food trucks could hurt local caterers
which it could, but there are no current rules that require hiring local caterers.
Baker suggested tabling this item to allow staff to address the concerns discussed.
Kluchka noted that the proposed ordinance isn't clear about who the applicant must be.
He asked that it be clarified to state that the property owner should be the applicant.
Johnson asked about reaching out to the food truck association and asking them what
they think. Zimmerman said staff did talk to them when this ordinance was first written.
MOVED by Kluchka, seconded by Waldhauser and motion carried unanimously to table
this item to a future meeting.

763-593-8095/763-593-8709(fax)
Date: May 22, 2017
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: Zoning Code Text Amendment—Allowing Mobile Food Vendors in Residential
Zoning Districts
Background
Staff has revised recommendations to the Zoning Code regarding Mobile Food Vendors (commonly
referred to as food trucks) in response to the discussion with Planning Commission on April 12,
2017.The first discussion was prompted by several inquiries from property owners who are
interested in the opportunity to host a food truck at their residence for a special event such as a
graduation party or wedding reception. They have been allowed in other Zoning Districts since
2015 and no complaints have been received so far.
Summary of Discussion on April 12, 2017:
• The Commission is supportive of encouraging this kind of business activity in Golden
Valley, but regulations should be included that mitigate negative impacts to residents.
• Food trucks have the potential to have noise impacts on neighbors, so a minimum
distance should be established between a food truck and houses. This separation may also
prevent a structure fire if there happened to be a fire in the food truck.
• Staff should review options that mitigate noise impacts, such as a requirement that trucks
with must have generators placed inside the food truck.
• There should be more consideration for a time limit for the permit. A 6 to 8 hour
maximum was suggested.
• The City may want to limit a property owner to 1 food truck at a time at their event.
• The City may want to the limit the number of days in a year that a permit may be granted
to a property owner.
Summary of Updated Staff Recommendations:
• Minimum distance of 10 feet between any structure and the food truck
• Parking in the street is permitted, but service window must face curbside
• Food sales to the public are permitted at-large when the street is closed and a Special
Event Permit is granted from the City of Golden Valley (Kelly Drive Pumpkin Festival is an
example)
• 6 hour time limit for each permit
• Limited to 2 food truck permits in a 12 month period and no seasonal permits for
Residential Zoning Districts
• While not included in Code language, staff will provide all applicants with information on
regulations as well as encouragement to contact their neighbors, limit disturbances in
order to mitigate complaints
Summary of Other Staff Recommendations for Mobile Food Vendors in Residential Districts:
• Permit is granted on a per-day basis and costs $40/day
• A permit may be granted for 1 day at a time in Residential Zoning Districts
• Seasonal permits not allowed in Residential Zoning Districts
• Proof of Mobile Food License from the Hennepin County or State of Minnesota required
• Liquor License is not included with the permit
• Hours of operation limited to 8 am-10 pm
• Activities on the property are subject to existing City noise ordinances
• Vendor and property owner responsible for trash removal, clean-up, and any damages
generated by operation
• Vendor must park in driveway or other impervious surface, must not impede traffic flow
or pedestrian walkways, and cannot park on grass
• Vendors may not be located 200 feet (at its closest point) from the entrance or from the
outdoor seating area of another food-serving establishment (with the exception of other
mobile food vendors that have received a permit)
• Vendors may not be located within 1,000 feet of schools while they are in session unless
written permission is granted by the school principal
• On multi-family residential properties, vendor cannot occupy parking spaces on the
parking lot that are needed to meet the minimum parking requirement unless the
property owner can demonstrate that the spaces are not needed during the vendor's
hours of operation
Recommendation
Staff recommends amending section 11.04 of the Zoning Code allowing Mobile Food Vendors in
Residential Zoning Districts.

2. Continued Informal Public Hearing –Zoning Code Text Amendment—
Mobile Food Vending in Residential Zoning Districts
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: To consider allowing mobile food vending in Residential Zoning Districts
Goellner presented on the proposed Zoning Code Text Amendment to allow mobile
food vending in residential districts with a permit, including the feedback from the
previous Planning Commission discussion that had been incorporated in the new
recommendations. Goellner stated that staff had received inquiries from residents who
wanted to host a graduation or wedding reception at their home and hire a food truck for
the event. At the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Amendment had
been updated to include a ten foot distance required between food trucks and all
structures for fire safety, to allow parking of food trucks on the street if service windows
face the curb and it does not block traffic, to prohibit sales to the general public in
residential areas except in cases where the street was closed for Special Events, to
impose a six hour time limit on food truck sales, and to limit the permits issued for
mobile food vending in residential districts to two per applicant per year. Applicants
would also be given educational materials and encouraged to inform their neighbors
ahead of time about the event to limit complaints.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 22, 2017
Goellner revisited the regulations presented at the previous meeting, stating that mobile
food vending in residential districts must occur between eight a.m. and ten p.m., a
permit is for one truck and one day and would not include a liquor license, trash removal
is required, the food truck cannot park overnight, and it cannot create a parking
shortage. Goellner said that the persons involved must follow the existing noise
ordinance, although she noted that there have been no noise complaints about food
trucks in the districts where they are currently permitted.
Commissioner Baker expressed that he was concerned about the need to close streets
for special events. He stated that people may wish to have a food truck for an athletic
event in a park which would vend to the general public and asked if:the streets would be
required to be closed for that. Goellner clarified that the Parks Department handles all
permits for mobile food vending in parks and that the text amendment in question
applies only to private events in residential districts, so the decision of whether or not to
close the streets for an event in a park would be made by the Parks Department.
Johnson asked about the possibility of there being multiple food trucks on the same
street at the same time and wanted to know if there was a limit to how many mobile
food vending permits could be issued on one street simultaneously. Goellner replied
that she did not anticipate that being a problem because the permit could be denied by
staff if there was insufficient space.
Johnson brought up the forty dollar permit fee, wanting to know how that rate was
determined. Goellner replied that it covers the administrative costs of processing the
permit. Goellner stated that forty dollars was the rate that had been set as an
introductory rate, but that it could be revised at a later time by City Council if it was
found to be too high.'
Waldhauser asked whether the homeowner or the vendor pays the permit fee. Goellner
said it would depend on the situation, but typically the vendor would pay the fee. Baker
asked for clarification on who fills out the application. Goellner said it would typically be
the vendor but that the homeowner has to sign, so both parties are part of the process.
Referring to paragraph 17, Segelbaum said he was confused about the difference
between the terms "applicant", "property owner", and "vendor" since they did not seem
to be used consistently. Goellner clarified that the application could be filed by either the
property owner or the vendor, so "applicant" was used when referencing the permit
application process but could refer to either the property owner or the vendor, whereas
"property owner" and "vendor" refer to those persons specifically. Segelbaum asked
staff to take another look at how those words are used.
Referring to item four, page four Segelbaum raised concern about the language that
seemed to restrict vendors to only having one permit at a time. He said that might
prevent vendors from having events on consecutive days. Zimmerman said that staff
would take another look at that section and think about why it was written that way.

Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 22, 2017
Segelbaum opened the public hearing.
John Levy, president of the Minnesota Food Truck Association, introduced himself and
said that he was there both to offer feedback and to answer questions the Commission
might have about the food truck industry. He stated that he did not think the ban on
"sales to the general public" was necessary and recommended eliminating or expanding
the six hour time limit on food truck sales. He explained that people may often plan an
event where they want the food truck to serve both lunch and dinner and that a six hour
time limit would prevent that. He said he was unaware of any instances where food
trucks being at a residence for long periods of time had caused any problems.
He also questioned why there was a limit of two permits per,year. He stated that he
thought there should be no limit on the number of trucks allowed on a street at one time
since, in his experience, he said he has found that food trucks operate best when there
is more than one food truck present. Levy brought up Johnson's concern about the
permit price and said that he agreed it seemed too high to him because the margins for
a food truck serving just one meal are slim.
Waldhauser asked what a typical price for a permit is, in_Levy's experience, and Levy
replied that he did not know. Waldhauser mentioned that it was likely the property owner
who was hosting the party would pay the fee, in which case the cost would not affect the
vendors. Kluchka mentioned that the permit price is comparable to the price of the
permits food trucks must receive from the Health Department.
Segelbaum wanted to know if, in the case of a long event, a food truck would ever need
to hook up to the electrical ''system. Levy stated that food trucks typically run off a
generator and would not need to plug into an additional source of electricity.
Segelbaum asked Levy if anything in the proposed text amendment stood out to him.
Levy stated that nothing stood out to him, but that he was not familiar with the typical
language of codes. Levy recommended adding the option of a seasonal permit for
vendors, noting that many other cities provide that option.
Seeing no one else come forward, the public hearing was closed.
Segelbaum asked if there was a limit to the number of food trucks in non-residential
areas. Goellner said there was no formal limit, but that available space would be
analyzed before approval and that permits could be denied by staff if there was
insufficient space.
Waldhauser wanted to know why two food trucks at a residential event would be a
problem, provided there was room on the street. She agreed with Mr. Levy that she
thought more than one food truck would be more fun provided there were enough
people and enough space. Zimmerman stated that the limit on number of food trucks
applied to private events and that a special event could have more.

Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 22, 2017
Segelbaum asked where the recommendation for the limit on permits came from.
Goellner confirmed that it was from the Planning Commission. Baker stated that the limit
was imposed because there was concern that an unlimited amount of permits could
encourage a party house situation. Kluchka proposed that if more trucks were desired,
neighbors could collaborate with each other and that neighbors could apply for the
permits for additional food trucks, which would not require a special event permit.
Waldhauser agreed that a limit on permits was a good measure which would prevent
frequent parties that might disturb neighbors. Mr. Levy stated that he thought this was a
bad idea that could create logistical problems. He recommended simply allowing
multiple food trucks and said that he has not heard of any problems created by frequent
food truck events.
Baker asked if staff had the ability to deny a permit if the applicant applied too
frequently. Goellner said that, without a formal limit, they could only deny a,permit if
there had been complaints or prior violations of City Code. Johnson recommended not
having a limit on number of trucks because the noise ordinance would regulate
disturbances.
Segelbaum speculated that the limit on number,of food trucks might create long waits
for food. Waldhauser pointed out that fair an open- house type situation, as was likely to
happen in residential districts, she did not imagine that being a problem.
Baker recommended not being overly restrictive unless problems arise. Johnson agreed
that the noise ordinance could always be used to control disturbances, and permits
could always be denied if there were complaints. He said he would eliminate the limit
entirely.
Waldhauser said the size of the h'eist's property might self-impose a limit. Zimmerman
noted that current language does not actually specify that the food truck must be parked
adjacent to the host's property. Segelbaum asked that the language be updated to
require the food truck to park adjacent to the host's property.
Blum asked for clarification about whether the limit was on number of trucks per event
or number of events per year. Zimmerman clarified that there were two limits, one
permit per truck per property and two permits permitted per year per property. He said
that, while it had not been intended that way, the language could potentially allow hosts
to have either two events per year with one truck or one event per year with two trucks.
Kluchka asked what flexibility could be allowed for larger neighborhood events.
Zimmerman pointed out that a special event permit could allow a larger event. Kluchka
requested that a reference be added to special event permits in the text amendment to
allow greater flexibility for neighborhood events.
Segelbaum reviewed what had been discussed so far. He stated that they had agreed
to clarify the definitions of"vendor" and "applicant", to correct item seventeen, and to
4
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 22, 2017
state that there is an exception to certain regulations for special event permits.
Zimmerman added that they had also decided to restrict parking to the host's property.
Baker raised the question of seasonal permits. Goellner clarified that seasonal permits
were permitted in other zoning districts of the city, but were not permitted in residential
zoning districts.
Johnson brought up the six hour time limit. Blum asked why six hours had been
selected, and Goellner answered that it had been suggested by the Planning
Commission. Baker brought up the possibility of a two-meal event that might take
longer. Kluchka wondered if allowing an exception to the time limit could be granted for
a special event permit, and Zimmerman confirmed that was the case.
Waldhauser recommended dropping the time limit altogether since it was limited to
between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. by the noise ordinance anyway. However, Kluchka pointed
out that neighbors might object to an all-day event. Johnson wanted to know if there
was a way to track how long the food trucks were,parked. Goellner stated' that they
gather that information when the applicant applies°for a permit.
Blum brought up the penalty for violations, which is the suspension from mobile food
vending permits for thirty days. He stated that since many private events are likely to be
annual events, thirty days seemed like a penalty with no teeth. He recommended 13
months as a more appropriate penalty. Segelbaum pointed out that thirteen months
might be very significant to the vendor, but that it seemed appropriate for the property
owner. He recommended the language say "not exceeding thirteen months" to allow
staff discretion in administering penalties.
Segelbaum brought up the issueof`the forty dollar permit fee. Goellner stated that any
changes to that fee would need to be approved by the City Council and that forty dollars
was the permit price for mobile food vending in other districts and has not been a barrier
so far. Segelbaum suggested lowering the price,for residential districts. Kluchka pointed
out that processing the permit for the food truck in residential districts is the same
amount of work as processing the permit in other districts.
Johnson said that he would still like to lower the fee. Blum said that since it costs money
to monitor the event for compliance and process the paper work, that lowering the fee
would force the taxpayers to subsidize someone else's party. A consensus was reached
to leave the permit fee at forty dollars.
Returning to the issue of the time limit, Segelbaum said he would be in favor of eight
hours. A consensus was reached to increase the time limit to eight hours.
Blum called attention to the required ten foot distance from homes recommended by the
Fire Department. He stated that a tank of propane has the explosive power of several
sticks of dynamite and questioned whether they were comfortable allowing the food
trucks that close to the buildings. Waldhauser stated that if they were truly that
explosive, they would be too dangerous to have anywhere. Baker asked if there was a
5
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 22, 2017
history of food truck explosions, and Blum cited several instances of injuries and
property damage due to food truck explosions. Baker pointed out that food trucks on
streets is a common practice in Minneapolis.
Blum brought up the possibility of risk to the neighboring properties in case of a fire or
an explosion and recommended a required distance from the neighboring property line
in addition to the required distance from structures, and increasing the required distance
to thirty feet from structures. Kluchka asked what the Fire Chief's recommendation was.
Goellner replied that it was ten feet from all structures and that, while there was not a
national standard as of yet, the Fire Chief expected ten feet to become the national
standard. Blum stated that he would still support increasing the required distance, but
the other Commissioners did not support his recommendation.
Kluchka expressed that he would be supportive of a ten foot distance requirement from
the neighbor's property line. Zimmerman and Goellner discouraged this regulation,
pointing out that it could prevent people with narrow lots from qualifying. Segelbaum
pointed out that a minimum distance could help keep the party from intruding onto the
neighbor's property.
Johnson objected to adding a required distance from the neighbor's property line,
stating that neighbors will always do things that annoy each other and he did not see
why this was different. Goellner suggested that five feet would be more reasonable than
ten feet, since ten feet would prevent a significant number of homeowners from
acquiring a permit, and because five feet is consistent with the setbacks required for
other structures in the City Code: Segelbaum asked if the serving window would be
required to face the host's property, and Goellner replied that could be handled during
permitting. Waldhauser stated that'she did not think five feet or ten feet would make a
significant difference in safety and would be supportive of five feet. Kluchka and Blum
stated that five seemed small to them, but there was a majority consensus. Mr. Levy
said that he did not see why there would be need for a required distance from the
property line as long as the structures were protected.
MOVED by Waldhauser, seconded by Kluchka, and carried unanimously to recommend
approval for the amendment to Zoning Code Section 11.04 Temporary Uses to allow
Mobile Food Vending in Residential Zoning Districts with the following changes:
1. The time limit on mobile food vending in residential districts will be increased
from six to eight hours.
2. Exceptions to certain regulations will be allowed with a Special Event permit.
3. The penalty for violations for a vendor will be a suspension of no more than
thirteen months.
4. There would be a minimum distance of five feet from the property line.
5. The parking of mobile food vendors will be restricted to the host's property.
6. Language will be changed to clarify the difference between "vendor" and
"applicant".

SECTION 2. Registration and Payment.
2.01. Registered Form. The Bonds will be issued only in fully registered form. The
interest thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal amount thereof, is payable
by check or draft issued by the Registrar described herein.
2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest
payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been
paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest
payment date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, in which case
the Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior
to the first interest payment date, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of
original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each
year, commencing February 1, 2018, to the registered owners of record as of the close of
business on the 15th day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not that day is a
business day.
Resolution No. 17-38 -5-June 20, 2017
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a Registrar, transfer agent, authenticating
agent and paying agent (the “Registrar”). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of
the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond
register in which the Registrar provides 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 for transfer of a 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 will
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 that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for
exchange the Registrar will 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. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly
cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar
is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid
and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will
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 a Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the
Bond, whether the Bond is 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
payments so made to a registered owner or upon the owner’s order will 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. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the
owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of Bonds sufficient to reimburse the Registrar
for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the
transfer or exchange.
Resolution No. 17-38 -6-June 20, 2017
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is
destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number,
maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the
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 an appropriate
bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by
law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so
surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such
cancellation must 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 is not
necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, notice
thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by
mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the
registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the
registration books kept by the Registrar and by publishing the notice if required by
law. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any
defect therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
Bonds. Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified
redemption date, provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the
place of payment at that time.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints U.S. Bank National
Association, St. Paul, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Clerk are
authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon
merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is
a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation
is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and
customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City reserves the right to
remove the Registrar upon 30 days’ notice and upon the appointment of a successor
Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its
possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor
Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further order of this
Council, the City Finance Director must transmit to the Registrar moneys sufficient for the
payment of all principal and interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the
direction of the City Finance Director and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of
the Mayor and the City Clerk, provided that those signatures may be printed, engraved or
lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose
signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such officer before the delivery of any Bond,
that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same
as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond
will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this
Resolution No. 17-38 -7-June 20, 2017
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 a Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been
authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have been so prepared,
executed and authenticated, the City Finance Director will deliver the same to the Purchaser
upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made
and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the application of the purchase
price.
2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed definitive Bonds
one or more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B with
such changes as may be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a single temporary
bond. Upon the execution and delivery of definitive Bonds the temporary Bonds will be
exchanged therefor and cancelled.
SECTION 3. Form of Bond.
3.01. Form. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B.
3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Finance Director is authorized and directed to
obtain a copy of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is to be complete except as to dating thereof and cause the
opinion to be printed on or accompany each Bond.
SECTION 4. Payment; Security; Pledges; and Covenants.
4.01. Debt Service Fund and Accounts Maintained Therein. For the convenience and
proper administration of the moneys to be borrowed and repaid on the Bonds and the 2009A
Bonds, and to provide adequate and specific security for the Purchaser and holders from time
to time of the Bonds and the 2009A Bonds, there is hereby created a special fund to be
designated the “General Obligation Improvement and Equipment Bonds, Series 2017A Debt
Service Fund” (the “Fund”) to be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a
bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official
financial records of the City. The Fund will be maintained in the manner herein specified until
all of the 2009A Bonds have been paid and until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon will
have been fully paid. There will be maintained in the Fund two separate accounts, to be
designated the “Debt Service Account” and the “Escrow Account.”
(a) Debt Service Account. The City shall maintain three separate subaccounts
within the Debt Service Account, to be designated the “2017 Improvements Account,”

principal amount of the 2021 through 2029 maturities of the 2009A Bonds then
outstanding (the “Refunded Bonds”). From the Escrow Account there will be paid (i) all
interest paid, or to be paid, or to accrue on the 2009A Refunding Bonds to and
including the Redemption Date and (ii) the principal amount of the Refunded Bonds

moneys in the Escrow Account will be used solely for, and the Escrow Account will be
irrevocably appropriated to, the purposes herein set forth and for no other purpose,
except that any surplus in the Escrow Account may be remitted to the City, all in
accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Any moneys remitted to the City upon
termination of the Escrow Agreement will be deposited in the 2009A Refunding
Account of the Debt Service Account.

Improvements and acquisition of the Equipment and ad valorem taxes and special
assessments collected during the construction of the 2017 Improvements, will be deposited in

of the 2017 Improvements and the Equipment and the payment of principal of and interest on
the 2017 Improvement Bonds prior to the completion and payment of all costs of the 2017
Improvements. When the 2017 Improvements are completed and the cost thereof paid, the
Construction Fund is to be closed and any balance therein is to be deposited in the 2017
Improvements Account and the Equipment Account of the Debt Service Account, in the
proportions determined by the City Finance Director.

interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing
powers of the City will be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Escrow

on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency will be promptly paid out
of monies in the general fund of the City which are available for such purpose, and such
general fund may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Escrow Account or Debt
Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein.

Improvements will directly and indirectly benefit abutting property, and the City hereby
covenants with the holders from time to time of the Bonds as follows:
(a) The City has caused or will cause the special assessments levied for the 2017
Improvements to be promptly levied so that the first installment will be collectible not
later than 2018 and will take all steps necessary to assure prompt collection, and the
levy of the special assessments is hereby authorized. The City Council will cause to be
taken with due diligence all further actions that are required for the construction of each
2017 Improvement financed wholly or partly from the proceeds of the 2017
Improvement Bonds, and will take all further actions necessary for the final and valid
levy of the special assessments and the appropriation of any other funds needed to

SECTION 5. Refunding; Findings; Redemption of Refunded Bonds.
5.01. Deposit of Funds. As of the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds,
proceeds of the Bonds as set forth in Section 4.01(b) are hereby pledged and appropriated
and will be deposited in the Escrow Account and to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds as set
forth in the Escrow Agreement. Proceeds of the Bonds in excess of amount needed to fund
the Escrow Account and pay costs of issuance of the Bonds are appropriated to the 2009A
Refunding Account of the Debt Service Account in accordance with Section 4.01(a) hereof.
5.02. Findings. It is hereby found and determined that based upon information
presently available from the City’s municipal advisor, the issuance of the Bonds (specifically
the 2009A Refunding Bonds) will result in a reduction of debt service cost to the City on the
Refunded Bonds, such that the present value of the debt service savings (the “Reduction”) is
at least 3.00% of the debt service on the Refunded Bonds. The Reduction, after the inclusion
of all authorized expenses of refunding in the computation of the effective interest rate on the
Bonds, is adequate to authorize the issuance of the Bonds as provided by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.67, subdivisions 12 and 13.
Resolution No. 17-38 -12-June 20, 2017
5.03. Investment of Funds. The moneys in the Debt Service Account will be used
solely to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds or any other bonds hereafter issued
and made payable from the Debt Service Fund. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will
be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which
were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (i) for a
reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the
Bonds were issued, and (ii) in addition to the above, in an amount not greater than the lesser
of 5% of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds
and any sums from time to time held in the Fund (or any other City account which will be used
to pay principal and interest to become due on the Bonds) in excess of amounts which under
the applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard as to yield will not
be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by the arbitrage
regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable temporary periods or
minor portion made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. In addition, the proceeds
of the Bonds and money in the Fund will not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by,
guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and
to the extent that such investment would cause the Bonds to be federally guaranteed within
the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”).
5.04. Payment of Bonds and Refunded Bonds. It is hereby found and determined that
the proceeds of the Bonds available and appropriated to the Escrow Account will be sufficient,
together with the permitted earnings on the investment of the Escrow Account, to pay principal
of and interest on the 2009A Refunding Bonds through the Redemption Date, and to pay at
maturity or redemption all of the principal of and redemption premium (if any) on the Refunded
Bonds maturing after the Redemption Date, all as set forth in Section 4.01(b) hereof and the
Escrow Agreement.
5.05. Permitted Investments. Securities purchased from the monies in the Escrow
Account will be limited to securities specified in Section 475.67, subdivision 8 of the Act. The
Escrow Agent as agent for the City, at the further direction of the City Finance Director and in
consultation with the City’s municipal advisor, is hereby authorized and directed to purchase
for and on behalf of the City and in its name, appropriate securities to fund the Escrow
Account. On or after the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, any securities so purchased will
be deposited with the Escrow Agent and held pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Escrow
Agreement.
5.06. Notice of Call for Redemption. The Refunded Bonds will be redeemed and
prepaid in accordance with their terms and on February 1, 2019, and in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the form of Notice of Call for Redemption set forth in the
Escrow Agreement which terms and conditions are hereby approved and incorporated herein
by reference. The registrar for the Refunded Bonds are authorized and directed to send a
copy of the Notice of Call for Redemption to the registered holder of the Refunded Bonds.
5.07. Escrow Agreement. On or prior to the delivery of the Bonds, the Mayor and the
City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute the Escrow Agreement with the
Escrow Agent on behalf of the City in substantially the form now on file with the City Clerk. All
essential terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement including payment by the City of
Resolution No. 17-38 -13-June 20, 2017
reasonable charges for the services of the Escrow Agent, are hereby approved and adopted
and made a part of this resolution, and the City covenants that it will promptly enforce all
provisions thereof in the event of default thereunder by the Escrow Agent.
SECTION 6. Authentication of Transcript.
6.01. City Proceedings and Records. The officers of the City are authorized and
directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and to the attorneys approving the Bonds,
certified copies of proceedings and records of the City relating to the Bonds and to the
financial condition and affairs of the City, and such other certificates, affidavits and transcripts
as may be required to show the facts within their knowledge or as shown by the books and
records in their custody and under their control, relating to the validity and marketability of the
Bonds, and such instruments, including any heretofore furnished, will be deemed
representations of the City as to the facts stated therein.
6.02. Certificates as to Official Statement. The Mayor, City Manager, City Clerk and
Finance Director, or any of them, are hereby authorized and directed to certify that they have
examined the Official Statement prepared and circulated in connection with the issuance and

complete and accurate representation of the facts and representations made therein as of the
date of the Official Statement.
SECTION 7. Tax Covenants.
7.01. Tax Exempt Bonds. 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 the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect at the time of such actions, and that it will take
or cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all affirmative action within its power that
may be necessary to ensure that such interest will not become subject to taxation under the
Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, as presently existing or as hereafter amended
and made applicable to the Bonds and the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United
States (unless the City qualifies for any exemption from rebate requirements based on timely
expenditure of proceeds of the Bonds, in accordance with the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations).
7.02. Not Private Activity Bonds. The City further covenants not to use the proceeds of
the Bonds or to cause or permit them or any of them to be used, in such a manner as to
cause the Bonds to be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141
through 150 of the Code.
7.03. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bonds as “qualified
tax-exempt obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City
makes the following factual statements and representations:
(a) the Bonds are not “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of the
Code;
Resolution No. 17-38 -14-June 20, 2017
(b) the City hereby designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations”
for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds, that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) which will be issued by
the City (and all subordinate entities of the City) during calendar year 2017 will not
exceed $10,000,000; and
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar
year 2017 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
(e) the Bonds are not issued as part of an issue with an aggregate face amount in
excess of $10,000,000.
7.04. Procedural Requirements. The City will use its best efforts to comply with any
federal procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designations made
by this section.
SECTION 8. Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
8.01. DTC. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of a separate single typewritten
or printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section 1.03 hereof.
Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond will be registered in the registration
books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust
Company, New York, New York, and its successors and assigns (“DTC”). Except as provided
in this section, all of the outstanding Bonds will be registered in the registration books kept by
the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
8.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by
the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Registrar and the
Paying Agent will have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other
financial institutions from time to time for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository
(the “Participants”) or to any other person on behalf of which a Participant holds an interest in
the Bonds, including but not limited to any responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the
accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person (other than a
registered owner of Bonds, as shown by the registration books kept by the Registrar), of any
notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to
any Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of Bonds, of any amount
with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The City, the Registrar
and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is
registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the holder and absolute owner of
such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium and interest with respect to such
Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all other
purposes. The Paying Agent will pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds only to or on the order of the respective registered owners, as shown in the registration
books kept by the Registrar, and all such payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy
and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
Resolution No. 17-38 -15-June 20, 2017
interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a
registered owner of Bonds, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, will
receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of this resolution. Upon delivery by DTC
to the City Manager of a written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a
new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the words “Cede & Co.” will refer to such new nominee
of DTC; and upon receipt of such a notice, the City Manager will promptly deliver a copy of the
same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
8.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a
Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations (the “Representation Letter”) which will govern
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to
the Bonds. Any Paying Agent or Registrar subsequently appointed by the City with respect to
the Bonds will agree to take all action necessary for all representations of the City in the
Representation Letter with respect to the Registrar and Paying Agent, respectively, to be
complied with at all times.
8.04. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event the City, by resolution of the
City Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial
interests in the Bonds that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the City will notify DTC,
whereupon DTC will notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond
certificates. In such event the City will issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as
requested by DTC and any other registered owners in accordance with the provisions of this
Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the
Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and discharging its responsibilities with respect
thereto under applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities depository is appointed,
the City will issue and the Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in accordance with this
resolution and the provisions hereof will apply to the transfer, exchange and method of
payment thereof.
8.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution to
the contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and notices
with respect to the Bond will be made and given, respectively in the manner provided in DTC’s
Operational Arrangements, as set forth in the Representation Letter.
SECTION 9. Continuing Disclosure.
9.01. City Compliance with Provisions of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City
hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution,
failure of the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate will not be considered
an event of default with respect to the Bonds; however, any Bondholder may take such
actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific
performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under this section.
9.02. Execution of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”
means that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed by the Mayor and City Clerk
Resolution No. 17-38 -16-June 20, 2017
and dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, as originally executed and as it may
be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 10. Defeasance. When all Bonds (or any portion thereof) and all accrued
interest thereon have been discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and
other rights granted by this Resolution to the holders of the Bonds (or respective portion
thereof) will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for the prompt
and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in full force and
effect. The City may discharge all Bonds (or respective portion thereof) 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 by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable institution qualified by law
as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States of America, or any other security authorized under Minnesota law
for such purpose, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on
such dates and in such amounts as shall be required and sufficient, subject to sale and/or
reinvestment in like securities, to pay said obligation(s), which may include any interest
payment on such Bond and/or principal amount due thereon at a stated maturity (or if
irrevocable provision shall have been made for permitted prior redemption of such principal
amount, at such earlier redemption date). 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 to the date of such deposit.

Resolution No. 17-38 -21-June 20, 2017
This Bond is one of an issue in the aggregate principal amount of $7,710,000 all of like
original issue date and tenor, except as to number, maturity date, interest rate, denomination
and redemption privilege, all issued pursuant to a resolution adopted by the City Council on
June 20, 2017 (the “Resolution”), for the purpose of providing money to finance (i) various
assessable public improvements in the City, (ii) various items of capital equipment and (iii) to
refund in advance of maturity and on their redemption dates as set forth in the Resolution a
portion of certain general Obligation Improvement Bonds of the City, pursuant to and in full
conformity with the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota, including Minnesota
Statutes, Chapters 412, 429, and 475, as amended, and Section 475.67, subdivisions 3 and
13. The principal hereof and a portion of the interest hereon are payable from special
assessments levied against property specially benefited by local improvements, ad valorem
taxes for the City’s share of the cost of improvements, and ad valorem taxes. The remaining
portion of the interest hereon, payable until February 1, 2019, is payable out of the Escrow
Account in the City’s General Obligation Improvement and Equipment Bonds, Series 2017A
Debt Service Fund (the “Escrow Account”), all as set forth in the Resolution to which reference
is made for a full statement of rights and powers thereby conferred. The full faith and credit of
the City are irrevocably pledged for payment of this Bond and the City Council has obligated
itself to levy additional ad valorem taxes on all taxable property in the City in the event of any
deficiency in special assessments, and ad valorem taxes pledged, which taxes may be levied
without limitation as to rate or amount. The Bonds of this series are issued only as fully
registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof of single

Bond is transferable upon the books of the City at the principal office of the Registrar, by the
registered owner hereof in person or by the owner’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon
surrender hereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar,
duly executed by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney; and may also be surrendered
in exchange for Bonds of other authorized denominations. Upon such transfer or exchange
the City will cause a new Bond or Bonds to be issued in the name of the transferee or
registered owner, of the same aggregate principal amount, bearing interest at the same rate
and maturing on the same date, subject to reimbursement for any tax, fee or governmental

SECTION 2. Form; Registration.
2.01. Registered Form. The Bonds will be issued only in fully registered form. The
interest thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal amount thereof is payable
by check or draft issued by the Registrar described herein.
2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest
payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been
paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest
payment date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, in which case
the Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is
prior to the first interest payment date, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of
Resolution No. 17-38 -4-June 20, 2017
original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each
year, commencing February 1, 2018, to the registered owners of record as of the close of
business on the 15th day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not that day is a
business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent,
authenticating agent and paying agent (the “Registrar”). The effect of registration and the
rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar will keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond
register in which the Registrar will 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 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 will
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 15
th day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until
that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. Whenever any Bonds are surrendered by the registered
owner for exchange the Registrar will 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. Any Bonds surrendered upon a transfer or exchange will 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 Bond until the Registrar
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
will 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 such Bond, whether such Bond is 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 will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums to be paid.
Resolution No. 17-38 -5-June 20, 2017
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the
owner thereof for every transfer or exchange of Bonds, 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 becomes
mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will 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 such
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 such Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon
furnishing to the Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and
amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the City and the
Registrar will be named as obligees. All Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be
cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must 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 will not be necessary to issue a
new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, notice
thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by mailing
a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) not less than 30
days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of each Bond to be
redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar and
by publishing the notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by publication or by
mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called for redemption will cease
to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided that the funds for the
redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints U.S. Bank National
Association, St. Paul, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Clerk are
authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon
merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation
is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting
corporation will be authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the
reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City
reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30 days’ notice and upon the appointment of
a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and
Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the
successor Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further order of
this City Council, the City Finance Director will transmit to the Registrar moneys sufficient for
the payment of all principal and interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the
direction of the City Finance Director and will be executed on behalf of the City by the
signatures of the Mayor and the City Clerk, provided that all signatures may be printed,
Resolution No. 17-38 -6-June 20, 2017
engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or a
facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds will cease to be such officer before the
delivery of any Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for
all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding
such execution, no Bond will 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 a 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 will be conclusive
evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the
Bonds have been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Finance Director will
deliver the same to the Purchaser thereof upon payment of the purchase price in accordance
with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser will not be
obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed definitive
Bonds one or more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit B with such changes as may be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a
single temporary bond. Upon the execution and delivery of definitive Bonds the temporary
Bonds will be exchanged therefor and cancelled.
2.07. Form of Bonds. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B.
2.08. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Finance Director will obtain a copy of the
proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota,
which will be complete except as to dating thereof and will cause the opinion to be printed on
or accompany each Bond.

the Pledged Tax Increments that are pledged to that account of the Debt Service

is not sufficient money in the TIF Account to pay the same, the City Finance Director
is directed to pay such principal or interest from the general fund of the City, and the
general fund will be reimbursed for those advances out of the proceeds of Pledged
Tax Increments when collected.
(d) Improvement Project Construction Fund. Proceeds of the Improvement
Bonds, less the appropriations made in Section 3.01(b) hereof, together with any
other funds appropriated for the Improvement Project and the Assessments and
Taxes collected during the construction of the Assessable Improvements, will be

Fund”) to be used solely to defray expenses of the Improvement Project and the
payment of principal of and interest on the Improvement Bonds prior to the completion
and payment of all costs of the Improvement Project. Any balance remaining in the
Improvement Project Construction Fund after completion of the Improvement Project
may be used to pay the cost in whole or in part of any other improvement instituted
under the Improvement Act, under the direction of the City Council. Unless otherwise
provided by the City Council, when the Improvement Project is completed and the
cost thereof paid, the Improvement Project Construction Fund is to be closed and any
subsequent collections of the Assessments are to be deposited in the Improvement
Account of the Debt Service Fund.

due diligence all further actions that are required for the construction of each
improvement financed wholly or partly from the proceeds of the Improvement Bonds
portion of the Bonds, and will take all further actions necessary for the final and valid

applicable law, and is not intended to create rights in or claims by any other persons
(including the beneficial or registered owners of the Bonds) with respect to the Pledged Tax
Increments or other revenues described or referenced in the Pledge Agreement, except to
the extent required by applicable law. The City and the HRA may pledge Pledged Tax
Increments to any other obligation on a parity basis with the pledge hereunder, and may
release the pledge of any tax increments hereunder, including release of any parcel within
any of the TIF District, so long as the remaining pledged tax increments are reasonably
expected to pay at least 20% of the principal and interest when due on the outstanding

TIF Account of the Debt Service Fund, which appropriation is sufficient to pay more than
20% of the principal of an interest on the TIF Bonds and shall continue until all of the TIF
Bonds and any additional bonds payable from the Debt Service Account, are paid or
discharged. The City hereby expressly reserves the right to use the Pledged Tax Increments
to pay principal and interest on the TIF Bonds and to finance other costs set forth in the
applicable TIF Plan not financed hereby or to finance costs of other projects to be
undertaken from time to time within the Redevelopment Project Area in accordance with the
Redevelopment Plan therefor and the TIF Plan, as they may from time to time be amended.
3.06. Certification to Taxpayer Services Division Manager of Hennepin County as to
Debt Service Fund Amount. It is hereby determined that the estimated collections of
Assessments, Pledged Tax Increments, and the foregoing Taxes will produce at least 5% in
excess of the amount needed to meet, when due, the principal and interest payments on the
Bonds. The tax levy herein provided is irrepealable until all of the Bonds are paid, provided
that at the time the City makes its annual tax levies the City Finance Director may certify to
the Taxpayer Services Division Manager of Hennepin County (the “Taxpayer Services
Division Manager”) the amount available in the Debt Service Fund to pay principal and
interest due during the ensuing year, and the Taxpayer Services Division Manager will
thereupon reduce the levy collectible during such year by the amount so certified.

Manager and obtain the certificate required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.63.

SECTION 5. Tax Covenant.
5.01. Tax Exempt Bonds. 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 the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect at the time of such actions, and that
it will take or cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all affirmative action within its
power that may be necessary to ensure that such interest will not become subject to taxation
under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, as presently existing or as hereafter
amended and made applicable to the Bonds.
5.02. Rebate. The City will comply with requirements necessary under the Code to
establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds under
Section 103 of the Code, including without limitation requirements relating to temporary
periods for investments, limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on
the Bonds and the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States to the extent
an exemption or exception is not available to the City and the Bonds.
5.03. Not Private Activity Bonds. The City further covenants not to use the proceeds
of the Bonds or the Improvement Project or the TIF Project or to cause or permit them or any
of them to be used, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be “private activity bonds”
within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.
5.04. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bonds as “qualified tax-
exempt obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City makes the
following factual statements and representations:
(a) the Bonds are not “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of the
Code;
Resolution No. 17-38 -11-June 20, 2017
(b) the City hereby designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations”
for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds, that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) which will be issued by
the City (and all subordinate entities of the City) during calendar year 2017 will not
exceed $10,000,000; and
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar
year 2017 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.

federal procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designations
made by this section.
SECTIN 6. Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
6.01. DTC. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of a separate single
typewritten or printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section 1.07
hereof. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each Bond will be registered in the
registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The
Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, and its successors and assigns (“DTC”).
Except as provided in this section, all of the outstanding Bonds will be registered in the
registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
6.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by
the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Registrar and the
Paying Agent will have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other
financial institutions from time to time for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository
(the “Participants”) or to any other person on behalf of which a Participant holds an interest
in the Bonds, including but not limited to any responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the
accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person (other than a
registered owner of Bonds, as shown by the registration books kept by the Registrar,) of any
notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to
any Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of Bonds, of any amount
with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The City, the Registrar
and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is
registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the holder and absolute owner of
such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium and interest with respect to
such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all
other purposes. The Paying Agent will pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds only to or on the order of the respective registered owners, as shown in the
registration books kept by the Registrar, and all such payments will be valid and effectual to
fully satisfy and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No
person other than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown in the registration books kept by
the Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of this resolution.

Finance Director will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
6.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a
Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations (the “Representation Letter”) which will govern
payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect
to the Bonds. Any Paying Agent or Registrar subsequently appointed by the City with respect
to the Bonds will agree to take all action necessary for all representations of the City in the
Representation letter with respect to the Registrar and Paying Agent, respectively, to be
complied with at all times.
6.04. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event the City, by resolution of the
City Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial
interests in the Bonds that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the City will notify DTC,
whereupon DTC will notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond
certificates. In such event the City will issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as
requested by DTC and any other registered owners in accordance with the provisions of this
Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the
Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and discharging its responsibilities with respect
thereto under applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities depository is
appointed, the City will issue and the Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in
accordance with this resolution and the provisions hereof will apply to the transfer, exchange
and method of payment thereof.
6.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution
to the contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and all
notices with respect to the Bond will be made and given, respectively in the manner provided

hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution,
failure of the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate is not to be considered
an event of default with respect to the Bonds; however, any Bondholder may take such
actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific
performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under this
section.
Resolution No. 17-38 -13-June 20, 2017
SECTION 8. Defeasance. When all Bonds and all interest thereon, have been discharged as
provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the
holders of the Bonds will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for
the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in full force
and effect. The City may discharge all 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. 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 to the date of
such deposit.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
June 20, 2017
Agenda Item
6. C. METRO Blue Line Extension Update
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Questions about the availability of funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under
the President’s proposed budget have resulted in delays in the anticipated opening of the METRO
Blue Line Extension. Originally scheduled for full operation in late 2021, the new target date is
mid 2022.
A typical requirement of receiving federal funding is the dedication of local funding for 50% of the
project cost. Partly as a result of the failure of the state legislature to fund its proposed share, the
Counties Transit Improvement Board (CTIB) voted to disband - a move which will allow Hennepin
County to increase its sales tax and dedicate additional money to both the Bottineau and to the
Southwest light rail lines, thereby covering the local share.
The President’s proposed budget for the FTA does not include funding for Southwest or
Bottineau. However, Congress may still choose to fund these projects. If this happens,
construction would begin in 2019 instead of 2018 as originally proposed.
Design of the line has been completed to the 60% level. 90% plans are scheduled to be
completed by the end of 2017 and the final 10% design would be completed by the spring of
2018. The Project Office still intends to move forward with a handful of early construction
projects, including the reconstruction of the Theodore Wirth Parkway bridge.
Work funded through Hennepin County’s FTA grant will also continue to go forward, including a
study of potential zoning tools that could be implemented at stations along the line to require
compatible transit oriented development. Golden Valley will also explore the feasibility of a
circulator to connect riders to employment centers and the downtown.
Recommended Action
Motion to receive and file METRO Blue Line Extension Update.
