special fund to be designated as the 1985 Improvement Construction Fund" (the
Construction Fund), to be held and administered by the City Clerk separate and
apart from all other funds of the City. A separate account shall be established
in the Construction fund for each of the Improvements and each account shall be
maintained until payment of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the Improvement for which it is established. The City appropriates to each
account in the Construction Fund (a) the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds,
except any accrued interest and unused discount received from the Purchaser, and
other funds so appropriated in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the
Improvement for which the account was established, and (b) all collections of
special assessments levied for the Improvement prior to completion and payment
of all costs of the Improvement. The accounts in the Construction Fund shall be
used solely to defray expenses of the Improvements, including but not limited to
the transfer to the 1985 Improvement Bond Account, created pursuant to Section
4.02, of amounts sufficient for the payment of interest and principal, if any,
due upon the Bonds prior to the completion and payment of all costs of the
Improvements. Upon completion and payment of all costs of an Improvement, the
account for it shall be terminated and any remaining proceeds of Bonds therein
may be used to pay the cost, in whole or in part, of any other Improvements or
any improvements instituted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, as
directed by this Council, but any balance of such proceeds not so used and all
special assessments remaining on deposit therein or collected after payment of
all costs and expenses of the Improvements shall be credited and paid to the
1985 Improvement Bond Account.
4.02. 1985 Improvement Bond Account. So long as any of the Bonds are
outstanding and any principal thereof or interest thereon unpaid, the City Clerk
shall maintain a separate and special 1985 Improvement Bond Account (the Bond
Account) in the Sinking Fund of the City, to be used for no purpose other than
the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and on such other general
obligation improvement bonds of the City as have been or may be directed to be
paid therefrom. The City irrevocably appropriates to the Bond Account (a) proceeds
of the Bonds received upon delivery of the Bonds to the extent such proceeds
exceed $6,334,000, (b) the collections of special assessments and other funds to
be credited and paid thereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01,
(c) any taxes levied in accordance with this resolution, and (d) such other
monies as shall be received and appropriated to the Bond Account from time to
time. If the balance in the Bond Account is at any time insufficient to pay all
interest and principal then due on all bonds payable therefrom, the payment shall
be made from any fund of the City which is available for that purpose, subject
to reimbursement from the Bond Account when the balance therein is sufficient.
4.03. Additional Bonds. The City reserves the right to issue additional
bonds payable from the Bond Account as may be required to finance costs of the
Improvements not financed hereby; provided that the City Council shall, prior to
the delivery of such additional bonds, levy or agree to levy by resolution
sufficient additional ad valorem taxes and special assessments which, together with
other monies or revenues pledged for the payment of said additional obligations,
will produce revenues at least five percent in excess of the amount needed to pay
when due the principal of and interest on all bonds payable from the Bond Account.
The additional ad valorem taxes, special assessments and monies or revenues so
pledged, levied or agreed to be levied shall be irrevocably appropriated to the
Bond Account in the manner provided by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61.
Resolution 85-76 - Continued August 20, 1985
4.04. Levy of Special Assessments. The City hereby covenants and agrees
that for payment of the cost of each of the Improvements it will do and perform
all acts and things necessary for the full and valid levies of special assessments
against all assessable lots, tracts and parcels of land benefited thereby and
located within the area proposed to be assessed therefor, based upon the benefits
received by each such lot, tract or parcel, in a principal amount with respect to
each of the Improvements not less than 20 percent of the cost thereof. In the
event that any such assessment shall be at any time held invalid with respect to
any lot, piece or parcel of land, owing to any error, defect or irregularity in
any action or proceeding taken or to be taken by the City or this Council or any
of the City's officers or employees, either in the making of such assessment or
in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this Council
hereby covenant and agree that they will forthwith do all such further acts and
take all such further proceedings as may be required by law to make such
assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. Pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.55, this Council hereby authorizes the levy of such
assessments, the deferred installments of which shall bear interest at a rate
not exceeding 12% per annum. The Council presently estimates that the aggregate
principal amount of said assessments will be not less than $2,226,902, payable
in not more than 10 equal consecutive, annual installments, the first of said
installments to be collectible with taxes during the year 1985. It is further
estimated that deferred installments will bear interest at a rate not less than
eight percent per annum from the date of the resolution levying said assessment
until December 31 of the year in which the installment is payable.
4.05. Ad Valorem Taxes. It is
equitable that such part of the cost
of the special assessments agreed to
be paid from general ad valorem taxes

to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent provided in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.61.
Resolution 85-76 - Continued August 20, 1985
4.06. Full Faith and Credit Pledged. The full faith and credit of the City
are irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds, and the Bonds shall be payable from the Bond Account in
accordance with the provisions and covenants contained in this resolution. It
is estimated that the special assessments levied and to be levied, together with
the ad valorem taxes levied for the payment of the Improvements and other monies
legally available to the City for such purposes, will be collected in amounts
not less than five percent in excess of the annual principal and interest
requirements of the Bonds. If the monies on deposit in the Bond Account should
at any time be insufficient to pay all principal and interest due on all bonds
payable therefrom, such amounts shall be paid from any other funds of the City
and such other funds shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient money is
available in the Bond Account. If on October 1 in any year the sum of the
balance in the Bond Account plus the amount of special assessments and any ad
valorem taxes theretofor levied for the Improvements and collectible through the
end of the following calendar year is not sufficient to pay when due all
principal and interest to become due on all bonds payable therefrom in said
following calendar year, or the Bond Account has incurred a deficiency in the
manner provided in this Section 4.06, an additional direct, irrepealable, ad
valorem tax shall be levied on all taxable property within the corporate limits
of the City for the purpose of restoring such accumulated or anticipated
deficiency in accordance with the provisions of this resolution.
Section 5. Defeasance. When all of the Bonds have been discharged as
provided in this Section 5, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by
this resolution to the holders of the Bonds shall cease. The City may discharge
its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by irrevocably
depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid when due, 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.
The City may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any
Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating
such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a bank qualified by law
as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are general
obligations of the United States or securities of United States agencies which
are authorized by law to be so deposited, bearing interest payable at such time
and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required, without
reinvestment, to pay all principal and interest to become due thereon to maturity.
Section 6. County Auditor Registration, Certification of Proceedings,
Investment of Ponies, Arbitrage and Official Statement.
6.01. County Auditor Registration. The City Clerk is hereby authorized
and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor
of Hennepin County, together with such other information as the County Auditor
shall require, and to obtain from said County Auditor a certificate that the
Bonds have been entered on his bond register and the taxes described in Section
4.05 have been levied as required by law.
Resolution 85-76 - Continued August 20, 1985
6.02. Certification of Proceedings. The officers of the City and the
County Auditor of Hennepin County are hereby authorized and directed to prepare
and furnish to the Purchaser and to Dorsey & Whitney, Bond Counsel, certified
copies of all proceedings and records of the City, and such other affidavits,
certificates and information as may be required to show the facts relating to
the legality and marketability of the Bonds as the same appear from the books
and records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and
all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore
furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited
therein.
6.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time
to time of the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its
officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the
Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended (the Code), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the
Regulations), and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to
ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become subject to taxation under
the Code and the Regulations.
6.04. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and the City Clerk, being the
officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds
pursuant to this resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver
to the Purchaser a certification pursuant to the provisions of Section 103(c) of
the Code, and Sections 1.103-13, 1.103-14 and 1.103-15 of the Regulations,
stating the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue
and delivery of the Bonds which make it reasonable to expect that the proceeds
of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be
arbitrage bonds within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.
6.05. Official Statement. The Official Statement relating to the Bonds,
prepared on behalf of the City by Public Financial Systems, Inc. is hereby
approved, and the officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed to
execute such certificates as may be appropriate concerning the accuracy,
completeness and sufficiency thereof.
