office a bond register in which the Registrar shall provide for the registration of
ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds
entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond duly
endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered
owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in
writing, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal
amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may,however,
close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month
preceding each interest payment date and until such interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. Whenever any Bonds are surrendered by the
registered owner for exchange the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or
more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested
by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered upon any transfer or exchange
shall be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed
by the Issuer.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to
the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is
satisfied that the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer is
valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The
Registrar shall incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers
which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized.
(0 Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer and the Registrar may treat the
person in whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the bond register as
the absolute owner of the Bond,whether the Bond shall be overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of, the principal of and interest on
the Bond and for all other purposes; and all payments made to any registered
5
owner or upon the owner's order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Bonds
(except for an exchange upon a partial redemption of a Bond), the Registrar may
impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for
any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In case any Bond shall
become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new
Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or in lieu of
and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the
reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in
the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of
evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the
ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or
indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it, in which both the
Issuer and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds so surrendered to
the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall be
given to the Issuer. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already
matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it shall not be
necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Authenticating Agent. The Registrar is hereby designated
authenticating agent for the Bonds, within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.55, Subdivision 1, as amended.
2.7. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under
the direction of the City Clerk and shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the
signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that the signatures may be
printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose
signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be
such officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature or facsimile shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if he had remained in
office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, no Bond shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this resolution
unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the
manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of
authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The
executed certificate of authentication on each Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it
has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution. When the Bonds have been
prepared, executed and authenticated, the Finance Director shall deliver them to the
Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale
heretofore executed, and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the application of
the purchase price.

registered in the bond register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The
Registrar and the Issuer may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner
of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of or
interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, if any,
giving any notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under
this resolution, registering the transfer of Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall have any responsibility or obligation to any
Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or
through DTC or any Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the bond
register as being a registered owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any
records maintained by DTC or any Participant, with respect to the payment by DTC or
any Participant of any amount with respect to the principal of or interest on the Bonds,

person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or with

DTC, the Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on such Bond, and shall give all
notices with respect to such Bond, only to Cede & Co. in accordance with DTC's
Operational Arrangements, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully
satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to the principal of and interest
on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC shall
receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation
of the Issuer to make payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the
7
Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in
accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.
(c) In the event the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest of the
Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of bond certificates, the
Issuer may notify DTC and the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of
the availability through DTC of Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the
Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine
to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving
notice to the Issuer and the Registrar and discharging its responsibilities with respect
thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be transferable in accordance
with paragraph (e) hereof.
(d) The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to DTC, if not
previously filed with DTC,by the Mayor or City Manager is hereby authorized and
directed.
(e) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under
paragraph (b) or(c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt

its successor as nominee for DTC as owner of all the Bonds, or another securities
depository as owner of all the Bonds, the provisions of this resolution shall also apply to
all matters relating thereto, including, without limitation, the printing of such Bonds in

SECTION 3. USE OF PROCEEDS AND SECURITY
3.1. Bond Proceeds. Upon payment for the Bonds by the Purchaser, the City
Clerk shall deposit $1,260,959.00 in the General Obligation Tax Increment Refunding
Bonds, Series 1997A Bond Fund to be applied to the refunding of the 1997A Bonds on
March 1, 2004 and shall deposit $749.31 in the Bond Fund created pursuant Section 3.2
hereof.
3.2. General Obligation Tax Increment Refunding Bonds, Series 2004A Bond
Fund. So long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and any principal of or interest
thereon unpaid, the Finance Director shall maintain a separate debt service fund on the
official books and records of the Issuer to be known as the General Obligation Tax
Increment Refunding Bonds, Series 2004A Bond Fund (the "Bond Fund"), and the
principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable from the Bond Fund. The Issuer
irrevocably appropriates to the Bond Fund (a)the amount specified in Section 3.1 above;
(b) the ad valorem tax increments pledged to the Issuer by the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota derived from the
Golden Hills Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District pursuant to a Pledge
Agreement dated as of February 1, 2004; (c) any ad valorem taxes collected in

interest on the Bonds. The moneys on hand in the Bond Fund from time to time shall be
used solely to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
3.3. Pledge of Taxing Powers. For the prompt and full payment of the principal
of and interest on the Bonds as such payments respectively become due, the full faith,
credit and unlimited taxing powers of the Issuer shall be and are hereby irrevocably
pledged. It is hereby estimated that the funds appropriated to the Bond Fund as set forth
in Section 3.2(a) and (b) hereof will produce amounts not less than five percent in excess
of the amounts needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the
Bonds, and therefore no ad valorem taxes are required to be levied at this time.
Nevertheless, if the balance in the Bond Fund is at any time insufficient to pay all interest
and principal then due on all Bonds payable therefrom, the payment shall be made from
any fund of the Issuer which is available for that purpose, subject to reimbursement from
the Bond Fund when the balance therein is sufficient, and the City Council covenants and
agrees that it will each year levy a sufficient amount of ad valorem taxes to take care of
any accumulated or anticipated deficiency,which levy is not subject to any constitutional
or statutory limitation.
SECTION 4. DEFEASANCE. When all of the Bonds have been discharged as provided
in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this Resolution to the
registered owners of the Bonds shall cease. The Issuer may discharge its obligations with
respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by depositing with the Registrar on or
before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or, if any Bond should
not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar
a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued from the due date to
the date of such deposit. The Issuer may also at any time discharge its obligations with
respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and
regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a bank qualified by law
as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are authorized by law to be
so deposited,bearing interest payable at such time and at such rates and maturing or
callable at the holder's option on such dates as shall be required to pay all principal and
interest to become due thereon to maturity.
SECTION 5. CERTIFICATION OF PROCEEDINGS.
5.1. Registration of Bonds. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to
file a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County(the
"County Auditor") and obtain a certificate that the Bonds have been duly entered upon
the County Auditor's bond register.
5.2. Authentication of Transcript. The officers of the Issuer and the County
Auditor are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and to
Dorsey & Whitney LLP, Bond Counsel, certified copies of all proceedings and records
relating to the Bonds and such other affidavits, certificates and information as may be
required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bonds, as the
13
same appear from the books and records in their custody and control or as otherwise
known to them, and all such certified copies, affidavits and certificates, including any
heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the Issuer as to the correctness of
all statements contained therein.
5.3. Official Statement. The Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated
January 8, 2004,prepared and delivered on behalf of the Issuer by Springsted
Incorporated, is hereby approved, and the officers of the Issuer are hereby authorized and
directed to execute such certificates as may be appropriate concerning the accuracy,
completeness and sufficiency thereof. Springsted Incorporated is hereby authorized on
behalf of the Issuer to prepare and distribute to the Purchaser within seven business days
from the date hereof a supplement to the Official Statement listing the offering price, the
interest rates, selling compensation, delivery date, the underwriters and such other
information relating to the Bonds as is required to be included in the Official Statement
by Rule 15c2-12 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The officers of the Issuer are hereby authorized
and directed to execute such certificates as may be appropriate concerning the accuracy,
completeness and sufficiency of the Official Statement.
SECTION 6. TAX COVENANTS; ARBITRAGE MATTERS AND CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE.
6.1. General Tax Covenant. It is hereby determined that, except as otherwise
specified in Section 1313(a) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the 1954 Code) shall be applicable to the Bonds. In
compliance with Section 1313(a), it is hereby found and determined as follows:
(a) The amount of the Bonds does not exceed the outstanding amount of the
1997A Bonds.
(b) The average maturity of the Bonds does not exceed 120 percent of the
average reasonably expected remaining life of the facilities refinanced with the Bond
proceeds, which is approximately 13 years.
(c) No more than 2% of the proceeds of the Bonds will be expended to pay
costs of issuance of the Bonds.
(d) The Issuer covenants and agrees with the registered owners 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 payable on the Bonds to become subject to taxation
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or the 1954 Code and
applicable Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations"), and covenants to take any and all
actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become
includable in gross income of the recipient under the Code, the 1954 Code and the
Regulations.
6.2. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and City Manager, being the officers of
the Issuer charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this
14
resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a
certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and Section
1.148-2(b) of the Regulations stating the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence
on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds which make it reasonable to expect that the
proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be
arbitrage bonds within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.
6.3. Arbitrage Rebate. The Issuer acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to the
rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The Issuer covenants and agrees to
retain such records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay
such amounts at such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable
Regulations to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for
federal income tax purposes, unless the Bonds qualify for an exception from the rebate
requirement pursuant to one of the spending exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 of the
Regulations and no "gross proceeds"of the Bonds (other than amounts constituting a
"bona fide debt service fund") arise during or after the expenditure of the original
proceeds thereof..
6.4. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The City Council hereby designates the
Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the
Code relating to the disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions, and hereby
finds that the reasonably anticipated amount of qualified tax-exempt obligations (within
the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code) which will be issued by the Issuer and all
subordinate entities during calendar year 2004 does not exceed $10,000,000.
6.5. Continuing Disclosure. (a) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the
public availability of certain information relating to the Bonds and the security therefor
and to permit the Purchaser and other participating underwriters in the primary offering
of the Bonds to comply with amendments to Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the SEC
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12), relating to
continuing disclosure (as in effect and interpreted from time to time,the "Rule"),which
will enhance the marketability of the Bonds, the Issuer hereby makes the following
covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Owners (as hereinafter defined) from
time to time of the Outstanding Bonds. The Issuer is the only obligated person in respect
of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for purposes of identifying the entities in
respect of which continuing disclosure must be made. The Issuer has complied in all
material respects with any undertaking previously entered into by it under the Rule. If
the Issuer fails to comply with any provisions of this section, any person aggrieved
thereby, including the Owners of any Outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at
law or in equity may appear necessary or appropriate to enforce performance and
observance of any agreement or covenant contained in this section, including an action
for a writ of mandamus or specific performance. Direct, indirect, consequential and
punitive damages shall not be recoverable for any default hereunder to the extent
permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event
shall a default under this section constitute a default under the Bonds or under any other
provision of this resolution. As used in this section, Owner or Bondowner means, in
respect of a Bond, the registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register
15
maintained by the Registrar or any Beneficial Owner(as hereinafter defined)thereof, if
such Beneficial Owner provides to the Registrar evidence of such beneficial ownership in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar. As used herein, Beneficial
Owner means, in respect of a Bond, any person or entity which (i)has the power, directly
or indirectly, to vote or consent with respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, such Bond
(including persons or entities holding Bonds through nominees, depositories or other
intermediaries), or(b) is treated as the owner of the Bond for federal income tax
purposes.
(b) Information To Be Disclosed. The Issuer will provide, in the manner set forth in
subsection (c) hereof, either directly or indirectly through an agent designated by the
Issuer, the following information at the following times:
(1) on or before 365 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer,
commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, the following
financial information and operating data in respect of the Issuer(the
"Disclosure Information"):
(A) the audited financial statements of the Issuer for such fiscal year,
containing balance sheets as of the end of such fiscal year and a
statement of operations, changes in fund balances and cash flows for the
fiscal year then ended, showing in comparative form such figures for the
preceding fiscal year of the Issuer,prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board as modified in accordance with the
governmental accounting standards promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board or as otherwise provided under Minnesota
law, as in effect from time to time, or, if and to the extent such financial
statements have not been prepared in accordance with such generally
accepted accounting principles for reasons beyond the reasonable control
of the Issuer, noting the discrepancies therefrom and the effect thereof,
and certified as to accuracy and completeness in all material respects by
the fiscal officer of the Issuer; and
(B) to the extent not included in the financial statements referred to in
paragraph (A) hereof, the information for such fiscal year or for the
period most recently available of the type contained in the Official
Statement under headings: City Property Values; City Indebtedness; and
City Tax Rates, Levies and Collections.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if the audited financial statements are not
available by the date specified, the Issuer shall provide on or before such date unaudited
financial statements in the format required for the audited financial statements as part of
the Disclosure Information and, within 10 days after the receipt thereof, the Issuer shall
provide the audited financial statements. Any or all of the Disclosure Information may
be incorporated by reference, if it is updated as required hereby, from other documents,
16
including official statements, which have been submitted to each of the repositories
hereinafter referred to under subsection (c) or the SEC. If the document incorporated by
reference is a final official statement, it must be available from the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board. The Issuer shall clearly identify in the Disclosure Information each
document so incorporated by reference. If any part of the Disclosure Information can no
longer be generated because the operations of the Issuer have materially changed or been
discontinued, such Disclosure Information need no longer be provided if the Issuer
includes in the Disclosure Information a statement to such effect; provided, however, if
such operations have been replaced by other Issuer operations in respect of which data is
not included in the Disclosure Information and the Issuer determines that certain
specified data regarding such replacement operations would be a Material Fact (as
defined in paragraph (2) hereof), then, from and after such determination, the Disclosure
Information shall include such additional specified data regarding the replacement
operations. If the Disclosure Information is changed or this section is amended as
permitted by this paragraph (b)(1) or subsection (d), then the Issuer shall include in the
next Disclosure Information to be delivered hereunder, to the extent necessary, an
explanation of the reasons for the amendment and the effect of any change in the type of
financial information or operating data provided.
(2) In a timely manner, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events
which is a Material Fact (as hereinafter defined):
(A) Principal and interest payment delinquencies;
(B) Non-payment related defaults;
(C) Unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial
difficulties;
(D) Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial
difficulties;
(E) Substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform;
(F) Adverse tax opinions or events affecting the tax-exempt status of the
security;
(G) Modifications to rights of security holders;
(H) Bond calls;
(I) Defeasances;
(J) Release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of the
securities; and
(K) Rating changes.
As used herein, a Material Fact is a fact as to which a substantial likelihood exists that a
reasonably prudent investor would attach importance thereto in deciding to buy,hold or
sell a Bond or, if not disclosed, would significantly alter the total information otherwise
available to an investor from the Official Statement, information disclosed hereunder or
information generally available to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a
Material Fact is also an event that would be deemed material for purposes of the
purchase,holding or sale of a Bond within the meaning of applicable federal securities
laws, as interpreted at the time of discovery of the occurrence of the event.
17
(3) In a timely manner, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events or
conditions:
(A) the failure of the Issuer to provide the Disclosure Information required
under paragraph (b)(1) at the time specified thereunder;
(B) the amendment or supplementing of this section pursuant to subsection
(d), together with a copy of such amendment or supplement and any
explanation provided by the Issuer under subsection (d)(2);
(C) the termination of the obligations of the Issuer under this section
pursuant to subsection (d);
(D) any change in the accounting principles pursuant to which the financial
statements constituting a portion of the Disclosure Information are
prepared; and
(E) any change in the fiscal year of the Issuer.
(c) Manner of Disclosure. The Issuer agrees to make available the information described
in subsection (b) to the following entities by telecopy, overnight delivery, mail or other
means, as appropriate:
(1) the information described in paragraph (1) of subsection (b), to each then
nationally recognized municipal securities information repository under the
Rule and to any state information depository then designated or operated by
the State of Minnesota as contemplated by the Rule (the State Depository), if
any;
(2) the information described in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (b), to the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and to the State Depository, if any;
and
(3) the information described in subsection (b), to any rating agency then
maintaining a rating of the Bonds at the request of the Issuer and, at the
expense of such Bondowner, to any Bondowner who requests in writing such
information, at the time of transmission under paragraphs (1) or(2) of this
subsection (c), as the case may be, or, if such information is transmitted with
a subsequent time of release, at the time such information is to be released.
(d) Term; Amendments; Interpretation.
(1) The covenants of the Issuer in this section shall remain in effect so long as
any Bonds are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
however, the obligations of the Issuer under this section shall terminate and
be without further effect as of any date on which the Issuer delivers to the
Registrar an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that, because of legislative
action or final judicial or administrative actions or proceedings, the failure of
the Issuer to comply with the requirements of this section will not cause
participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to be in
18
violation of the Rule or other applicable requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any statutes or laws successory
thereto or amendatory thereof.
(2) This section (and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information)
may be amended or supplemented by the Issuer from time to time, without
notice to (except as provided in paragraph (c)(3) hereof) or the consent of the
Owners of any Bonds, by a resolution of this Council filed in the office of the
recording officer of the Issuer accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel,
who may rely on certificates of the Issuer and others and the opinion may be
subject to customary qualifications, to the effect that: (i) such amendment or
supplement (a) is made in connection with a change in circumstances that
arises from a change in law or regulation or a change in the identity, nature or
status of the Issuer or the type of operations conducted by the Issuer, or(b) is
required by, or better complies with, the provisions of paragraph (b)(5) of the
Rule; (ii) this section as so amended or supplemented would have complied
with the requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule at the time of the
primary offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any change in circumstances
applicable under clause (i)(a) and assuming that the Rule as in effect and
interpreted at the time of the amendment or supplement was in effect at the
time of the primary offering; and (iii) such amendment or supplement does
not materially impair the interests of the Bondowners under the Rule.
If the Disclosure Information is so amended, the Issuer agrees to provide,
contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, an
explanation of the reasons for the amendment and the effect, if any, of the
change in the type of financial information or operating data being provided
hereunder.
(3) This section is entered into to comply with the continuing
disclosure provisions of the Rule and should be construed so as to satisfy the
requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule.
Upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Councilmembers
Grayson, Shaffer, Freiberg, Tremere, and Mayor Loomis
and the following voted against the same: none
whereupon the resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
