another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company organized under the
laws of the United States or one of the states of the United States and authorized by law to
conduct such business, such corporation shall be authorized to act as successor Registrar.
The City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services
performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar, effective upon not less than
thirty days' written notice and upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Registrar,
in which event the predecessor Registrar shall deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to
the successor Registrar and shall deliver the Bond Register to the successor Registrar.
2.6. Registration. The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the
Registrar with respect thereto shall be as follows:
(a) Re ister. The Registrar shall keep at its principal corporate trust office a
register (the "Bond Register") in which the Registrar shall provide for the registration of
ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to
be registered, transferred or exchanged. The term Holder or Bondholder as used herein
shall mean the person (whether a natural person, corporation, association, partnership,
trust, governmental unit, or other legal entity) in whose name a Bond is registered in the
Bond Register.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond duly endorsed by
the Holder thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney duly
authorized by the Holder in writing, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like
aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar
Resolution No. 16-53 -4- September 20, 2016
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 for payment, transfer or exchange shall
be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the
City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is satisfied
that the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and
genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur
no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment,
deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in
whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the Bond Register as the absolute
owner of the Bond, whether the Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for
all other purposes; and all payments made to or upon the order of such Holder shall be
valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of
the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Bonds (except
for an exchange upon a partial redemption of a Bond), the Registrar may impose a
charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or
other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or
exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In case any Bond shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new Bond of like
amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any Bond
destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of
the Registrar in connection 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 City and the Registrar shall be named as obligees.
All Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such
cancellation shall be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond
has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it shall
not be necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
Resolution No. 16-53 -5- September 20, 2016
(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.
0) Valid Obligations. All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of Bonds
shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the
same benefits under this Resolution as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or
exchange.
2.7. Execution,Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under the
direction of the City Manager and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of
the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that the signatures may be printed, engraved or
lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of
whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of
such Bond, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all
purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until the date of delivery of such
Bond. Notwithstanding such execution, no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or
entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of
authentication on the Bond, substantially in the form provided in Section 2.9, has been
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 any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it has
been duly authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have been
prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Manager shall deliver them to the Purchaser
upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore
executed, and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase
price.
2.8. Securities Depository. (a) For purposes of this section the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
"Beneficial Owner" shall mean, whenever used with respect to a Bond, the
person in whose name such Bond is recorded as the beneficial owner of such Bond by
a Participant on the records of such Participant, or such person's subrogee.
"Cede & Co." shall mean Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and any successor
nominee of DTC with respect to the Bonds.
"DTC" shall mean The Depository Trust Company of New York, New York.
"Participant" shall mean any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for
which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository.
"Representation Letter" shall mean the Representation Letter pursuant to which
the sender agrees to comply with DTC's Operational Arrangements.
(b) The Bonds shall be initially issued as separately authenticated fully registered
bonds, and one Bond shall be issued in the principal amount of each stated maturity of
the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the
bond register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Registrar and the
City may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds
registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of or interest on the
Resolution No. 16-53 -6- September 20, 2016
Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, if any, giving any notice
permitted or required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under this resolution,
registering the transfer of Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever; and neither the
Registrar nor the City shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the
Registrar nor the City shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any
person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or
any Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the bond register as being a
registered owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained
by DTC or any Participant, with respect to the payment by DTC or any Participant of any
amount with respect to the principal of or interest on the Bonds, with respect to any
notice which is permitted or required to be given to owners of Bonds under this
resolution, with respect to the selection by DTC or any Participant of any person to
receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or with respect to any
consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds. So long
as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Registrar
shall pay all principal of and interest on such Bond, and shall give all notices with
respect to such Bond, only to Cede & Co. in accordance with DTC's Operational
Arrangements, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and
discharge the City's obligations with respect to the principal of and interest on the Bonds
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC shall receive an
authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the
City to make payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar
of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in
place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in accordance
with paragraph (e) hereof.
(c) In the event the City determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial
Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of bond certificates, the City may
notify DTC and the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the
availability through DTC of Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds
will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine to
discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice
to the City and the Registrar and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto
under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with
paragraph (e) hereof.
(d) The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to DTC by the Mayor
or City Manager, if not previously filed with DTC, is hereby authorized and directed.
(e) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under
paragraph (b) or (c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon
receipt by the Registrar of the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate
instruments of transfer to the permitted transferee in accordance with the provisions of
this resolution. In the event Bonds in the form of certificates are issued to owners other
than Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for DTC as owner of all the Bonds, or
another securities depository as owner of all the Bonds, the provisions of this resolution
shall also apply to all matters relating thereto, including, without limitation, the printing of
such Bonds in the form of bond certificates and the method of payment of principal of
and interest on such Bonds in the form of bond certificates.
Resolution No. 16-53 -7- September 20, 2016
2.9. Form of Bonds. The Bonds shall be prepared in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
SECTION 3. GENERAL OBLIGATION STORM SEWER REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2016D
CONSTRUCTION FUND. There is hereby established on the official books and records of the
City a separate fund designated the General Obligation Storm Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series
2016D Construction Fund (the "Construction Fund"). The Construction Fund shall be
maintained until all costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with the construction
of the Project have been paid. To the Construction Fund there shall be credited from the
proceeds of the Bonds the sum of$2,548,806.06 and from the Construction Fund there shall
be paid all costs and expenses incurred by the City in construction of the Project. After
payment of all such costs, the Construction Fund shall be discontinued. Any Bond proceeds
remaining on hand in the Construction Fund after payment of all such costs and expenses
shall be transferred to the Bond Fund, as hereinafter defined.
SECTION 4. GENERAL OBLIGATION STORM SEWER REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2016D
BOND FUND. There is hereby established on the official books and records of the City a
separate fund designated the General Obligation Storm Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2016D
Bond Fund (the "Bond Fund"). The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable from
the Bond Fund and the Bond Fund shall be maintained until the City has paid, or made
provision for the payment of, all of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. If the balance on
hand in the Bond Fund is at any time insufficient to pay principal and interest then due on the
Bonds, such amounts shall be paid from other money on hand in other funds of the City, which
other funds shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient money becomes available in the Bond
Fund. The money on hand in the Bond Fund from time to time shall be used only to pay the
principal of and interest on the Bonds. Into the Bond Fund shall be paid (a) any proceeds of
the Bonds in excess of the amount credited to the Construction Fund under Section 3, (b) any
proceeds of Bonds remaining in the Construction Fund after payment of all costs and
expenses of the Project have been paid, (c) net revenues of the System appropriated to the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds in accordance with Section 6 hereof, (d)
any taxes collected pursuant to Section 7 hereof, and (e) any other funds appropriated by the
Council for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds.
SECTION 5. SUFFICIENCY OF REVENUES. It is hereby found, determined and declared that
the City owns and operates the System as a revenue-producing utility and convenience and
that the net operating revenues of the System, after deducting from the gross receipts derived
from charges for the service, use and availability of the System the normal, current and
reasonable expenses of operation and maintenance thereof, will be sufficient, together with
any other funds actually appropriated by the City for the payment when due of the principal of
and interest on the Bonds, and on any other bonds to which such revenues are pledged.
SECTION 6. RATE COVENANTS. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075, the City
hereby covenants and agrees with the registered owners from time to time of the Bonds, that
until the Bonds and the interest thereon are paid in full, or are discharged as provided in
Section 8, the City will impose and collect reasonable charges for the service, use and
availability of the System according to schedules which will produce net revenues sufficient,
with any other funds appropriated by the City, to pay all principal and interest when due on the
Bonds and any other bonds to which said net revenues have been pledged; and said net
revenues, to the extent necessary, are hereby irrevocably pledged and appropriated to the
Resolution No. 16-53 -8- September 20, 2016
payment of the Bonds. Nothing herein shall preclude the City from hereafter making further
pledges and appropriations of the net revenues of the System for payment of additional
obligations of the City hereafter authorized if this Council determines before the authorization
of such additional obligations that the estimated net revenues of the System will be sufficient,
together with any other sources pledged to the payment of the outstanding and additional
obligations, for payment of the outstanding bonds payable therefrom and such additional
obligations. Such further pledges and appropriations of said net revenues may be made
superior or subordinate to, or on a parity with, the pledge and appropriation herein made.
SECTION 7. 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 City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. However,
it is presently estimated that the net revenues of the System, together with other funds to be
appropriated by the City, 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;
therefore no ad valorem taxes are required to be levied at this time.
SECTION 8. 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 City may discharge its obligations with respect to any
Bonds which are due on any date if there is deposited with the Registrar on or before that date
a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid when due, it
may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof in full with interest accrued from the due date to the date of such deposit. The
City may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called for
redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms by depositing with
the Registrar on or before that date an amount equal to the principal, interest and redemption
premium, if any, which are then due, provided that notice of such redemption has been duly
given as provided herein. The City may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect
to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such
action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a bank or trust company 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 or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been
irrevocably provided for, to an earlier designated redemption date, provided, however, that if
such deposit is made more than ninety days before the maturity date or specified redemption
date of the Bonds to be discharged, the City shall have received a written opinion of Bond
Counsel to the effect that such deposit does not adversely affect the exemption of interest on
any Bonds from federal income taxation and a written report of an accountant or investment
banking firm verifying that the deposit is sufficient to pay when due all of the principal and
interest on the Bonds to be discharged on and before their maturity dates or earlier designated
redemption date.
SECTION 9. CERTIFICATION OF PROCEEDINGS.
9.1. 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 and obtain a
certificate that the Bonds have been duly entered upon the Auditor's bond register.
Resolution No. 16-53 -9- September 20, 2016
9.2. Authentication of Transcript. The officers of the City and the County Auditor are
hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and to Dorsey &
Whitney LLP, Bond Counsel, certified copies of all proceedings and records relating to the
Bonds and such other affidavits, certificates and information as may be required to show the
facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bonds, as the same appear from the books
and records in their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all such certified
copies, affidavits and certificates, including any heretofore furnished, shall be deemed
representations of the City as to the correctness of all statements contained therein.
9.3. Official Statement. The Preliminary Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated
September 7, 2016, prepared and delivered on behalf of the City by Springsted Incorporated,
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. Springsted Incorporated is hereby authorized on behalf of the City to
prepare and distribute to the Purchaser within seven business days from the date hereof a
supplement to the Preliminary 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 City are hereby authorized and directed to execute such certificates as may
be appropriate concerning the accuracy, completeness and sufficiency of the Official
Statement.
SECTION 10. TAX COVENANTS; ARBITRAGE MATTERS; REIMBURSEMENT AND
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE.
10.1. General Tax Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the registered owners
from time to time of the Bonds that it will not take, or permit to be taken by any of its officers,
employees or agents, any actions that would cause interest on the Bonds to become
includable in gross income of the recipient under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and applicable Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations"), and 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 and the Regulations. All
proceeds of the Bonds deposited in the Construction Fund will be expended solely for the
payment of the costs of the Project. The System is and will be owned and maintained by the
City and available for use by members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The
City shall not enter into any lease agreement, use agreement, capacity contract or other
agreement with any non-governmental user with respect to the System or the Project which
would cause the Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or "private loan bonds"
pursuant to Section 141 of the Code.
10.2. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and City Manager, being the officers of the City
charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this Resolution, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance
with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and applicable Regulations stating the facts,
estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds which
make it reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that
would cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Code and
Regulations.
Resolution No. 16-53 -10- September 20, 2016
10.3. Arbitrage Rebate. The City acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to the rebate
requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The City covenants and agrees to retain such
records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amounts at
such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Regulations to preserve
the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes,
unless the Bonds qualify for an exception from the rebate requirement pursuant to one of the
spending exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 of the Regulations and no "gross proceeds" of
the Bonds (other than amounts constituting a "bona fide debt service fund") arise during or
after the expenditure of the original proceeds thereof.
10.4. Reimbursement. The City certifies that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used
by the City to reimburse itself for any expenditure with respect to the Projects which the City
paid or will have paid more than 60 days prior to the issuance of the Bonds unless, with
respect to such prior expenditures, the City shall have made a declaration of official intent
which complies with the provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations; provided that this
certification shall not apply (i) with respect to certain de minimis expenditures, if any, with
respect to the Projects meeting the requirements of Section 1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations, or
(ii) with respect to "preliminary expenditures" for the Projects as defined in Section 1.150-
2(f)(2) of the Regulations, including engineering or architectural expenses and similar
preparatory expenses, which in the aggregate do not exceed 20% of the "issue price" of the
Bonds.
10.5. 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 City hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Owners
(as hereinafter defined) from time to time of the Outstanding Bonds. The City is the only
obligated person in respect of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for purposes of
identifying the entities in respect of which continuing disclosure must be made. The City has
complied in all material respects with any undertaking previously entered into by it under the
Rule. If the City fails to comply with any provisions of this section, any person aggrieved
thereby, including the Owners of any Outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at law or
in equity may appear necessary or appropriate to enforce performance and observance of any
agreement or covenant contained in this section, including an action for a writ of mandamus or
specific performance. Direct, indirect, consequential and punitive damages shall not be
recoverable for any default hereunder to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall a default under this section constitute a
default under the Bonds or under any other provision of this resolution. As used in this section,
Owner or Bondowner means, in respect of a Bond, the registered owner or owners thereof
appearing in the bond register maintained by the Registrar or any Beneficial Owner(as
hereinafter defined) thereof, if such Beneficial Owner provides to the Registrar evidence of
such beneficial ownership in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar. As
used herein, Beneficial Owner means, in respect of a Bond, any person or entity which (a) has
the power, directly or indirectly, to vote or consent with respect to, or to dispose of ownership
of, such Bond (including persons or entities holding Bonds through nominees, depositories or
Resolution No. 16-53 -11- September 20, 2016
other intermediaries), or (b) is treated as the owner of the Bond for federal income tax
purposes.
(b) Information To Be Disclosed. The City will provide, in the manner set forth in
subsection (c) hereof, either directly or indirectly through an agent designated by the City, the
following information at the following times:
(1) on or before 12 months after the end of each fiscal year of the City, commencing
with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the following financial information
and operating data in respect of the City (the "Disclosure Information"):
(A) the audited financial statements of the City for such fiscal year, prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
accordance with the governmental accounting standards promulgated by
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board or as otherwise provided
under Minnesota law, as in effect from time to time, or, if and to the extent
such financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with
such generally accepted accounting principles for reasons beyond the
reasonable control of the City, noting the discrepancies therefrom and the
effect thereof, and certified as to accuracy and completeness in all
material respects by the fiscal officer of the City; and
(B) to the extent not included in the financial statements referred to in
paragraph (A) hereof, the information for such fiscal year or for the period
most recently available of the type contained in the Official Statement
under headings: City Property Values; City Indebtedness; and City Tax
Rates, Levies and Collections, which information may be unaudited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if the audited financial statements are not
available by the date specified, the City 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 City 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, including official
statements, which have been filed with the SEC or have been submitted to the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) through its Electronic Municipal Market Access System
(EMMA). The City shall clearly identify in the Disclosure Information each document so
incorporated by reference. If any part of the Disclosure Information can no longer be
generated because the operations of the City have materially changed or been discontinued,
such Disclosure Information need no longer be provided if the City includes in the Disclosure
Information a statement to such effect, provided, however, if such operations have been
replaced by other City operations in respect of which data is not included in the Disclosure
Information and the City determines that certain specified data regarding such replacement
operations would be a Material Fact (as defined in paragraph (2) hereof), then, from and after
such determination, the Disclosure Information shall include such additional specified data
regarding the replacement operations. If the Disclosure Information is changed or this section
is amended as permitted by this paragraph (b)(1) or subsection (d), then the City shall include
in the next Disclosure Information to be delivered hereunder, to the extent necessary, an
Resolution No. 16-53 -12- September 20, 2016
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 not in excess of ten business days after the occurrence of the
event, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a Material
Fact):
(A) Principal and interest payment delinquencies;
(B) Non-payment related defaults, if material;
(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, the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service of
proposed or final determinations of taxability, Notices of Proposed Issue
(IRS Form 5701-TEB) or other material notices or determinations with
respect to the tax status of the Bonds, or other material events affecting
the tax status of the Bonds;
(G) Modifications to rights of security holders, if material;
(H) Bond calls, if material, and tender offers;
(1) Defeasances;
(J) Release, substitution, or sale of property securing repayment of the
securities, if material;
(K) Rating changes;
(L) Bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or a similar event with respect to the
City;
(M) The consummation of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition involving an
obligated person or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
obligated person, other than in the ordinary course of business, the entry
into a definitive agreement to undertake such an action or the termination
of a definitive agreement relating to any such actions, other than pursuant
to its terms, if material; and
(N) Appointment of a successor or additional trustee or the change of name of
a trustee, if material.
As used herein, for those events that must be reported if material, an event is "material"
if it is an event 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, an event is also "material" if it is 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.
For the purposes of the event identified in (L) hereinabove, the event is considered to
occur when any of the following occur: the appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent or similar
officer for an obligated person in a proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or in any other
Resolution No. 16-53 -13- September 20, 2016
proceeding under state or federal law in which a court or governmental authority has assumed
jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets or business of the obligated person, or if such
jurisdiction has been assumed by leaving the existing governmental body and officials or
officers in possession but subject to the supervision and orders of a court or governmental
authority, or the entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization, arrangement or
liquidation by a court or governmental authority having supervision or jurisdiction over
substantially all of the assets or business of the obligated person.
(3) In a timely manner, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events or
conditions:
(A) the failure of the City to provide the Disclosure Information required under
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 City under subsection (d)(2);
(C) the termination of the obligations of the City 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 City.
(c) Manner of Disclosure.
(1) The City agrees to make available to the MSRB through EMMA, in an electronic
format as prescribed by the MSRB, the information described in subsection (b).
(2) All documents provided to the MSRB pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be
accompanied by identifying information as prescribed by the MSRB from time to
time.
(d) Term; Amendments; Interpretation.
(1) The covenants of the City in this section shall remain in effect so long as any
Bonds are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the
obligations of the City under this section shall terminate and be without further
effect as of any date on which the City delivers to the Registrar an opinion of
Bond Counsel to the effect that, because of legislative action or final judicial or
administrative actions or proceedings, the failure of the City to comply with the
requirements of this section will not cause participating underwriters in the
primary offering of the Bonds to be in violation of the Rule or other applicable
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any
statutes or laws successory thereto or amendatory thereof.
(2) This section (and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information) may
be amended or supplemented by the City from time to time, without notice to
(except as provided in paragraph (c)(3) hereof) or the consent of the Owners of
Resolution No. 16-53 -14- September 20, 2016
any Bonds, by a resolution of this Council filed in the office of the recording
officer of the City accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, who may rely on
certificates of the City and others and the opinion may be subject to customary
qualifications, to the effect that: (i) such amendment or supplement (a) is made in
connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in law or
regulation or a change in the identity, nature or status of the City or the type of
operations conducted by the City, or(b) is required by, or better complies with,
the provisions of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule; (ii) this section as so amended or
supplemented would have complied with the requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of
the Rule at the time of the primary offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any
change in circumstances applicable under clause (i)(a) and assuming that the
Rule as in effect and interpreted at the time of the amendment or supplement
was in effect at the time of the primary offering; and (iii) such amendment or
supplement does not materially impair the interests of the Bondowners under the
Rule.
If the Disclosure Information is so amended, the City agrees to provide,
contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, an explanation of
the reasons for the amendment and the effect, if any, of the change in the type of
financial information or operating data being provided hereunder.
(3) This section is entered into to comply with the continuing disclosure provisions of
the Rule and should be construed so as to satisfy the requirements of paragraph
(b)(5) of the Rule.

THE CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY, MINNESOTA acknowledges itself to be indebted and
for value received hereby promises to pay to the registered owner specified above, or
registered assigns, the principal amount specified above on the maturity date specified above
and promises to pay interest thereon from the date of original issue specified above or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) to which interest has been paid or

August 1 in each year, commencing August 1, 2017 (each such date, an "Interest Payment

principal of this Bond before maturity. The interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date
shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on
the fifteenth day (whether or not a business day) of the calendar month next preceding such
Interest Payment Date. Interest hereon shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
composed of twelve 30-day months. The interest hereon and, upon presentation and surrender
hereof at the principal office of the Registrar described below, the principal hereof, are payable
in lawful money of the United States of America by check or draft by U.S. Bank National
Association, St. Paul, Minnesota, as bond registrar, transfer agent and paying agent (the
"Registrar"), or its designated successor under the Resolution described herein. For the
prompt and full payment of such principal and interest as the same respectively become due,
the full faith and credit and taxing powers of the City have been and are hereby irrevocably
pledged.
This Bond is one of an issue (the "Bonds") in the aggregate principal amount of
$2,580,000 issued pursuant to a resolution adopted by the City Council on September 20,
2016 (the "Resolution"), to finance the costs of various improvement projects (collectively, the
"Project") to the City's storm sewer system (the "System") and is issued pursuant to and in full
Resolution No. 16-53 -16- September 20, 2016
conformity with the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota thereunto enabling,
including Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 475 and 444.
The Bonds are issuable only in fully registered form, in denominations of $5,000 or any
integral multiple thereof, of single maturities.
Bonds having stated maturity dates in the years 2026 and thereafter are each subject to
redemption and prepayment at the option of the City, in whole or in part, in such order of
maturity dates as the City may select and, within a maturity, by lot as selected by the Registrar
(or, if applicable, by the bond depository in accordance with its customary procedures), in
integral multiples of$5,000, on February 1, 2025, and on any date thereafter, at a price equal
to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the date of redemption. At
least 30 days before the date specified for the redemption of any Bond the City will cause
notice of redemption to be published if and to the extent required by law, and to be mailed by
first class mail (or, if applicable, provided in accordance with the operational arrangements of
the bond depository), to the registered owner of any Bond to be redeemed at the owner's
address as it appears on the Bond Register maintained by the Registrar, but no defect in or
failure to give such notice of redemption shall affect the validity of proceedings for the
redemption of any Bond not affected by such defect or failure. Upon surrender to the Registrar
of any Bond which has been redeemed in part, a new Bond or Bonds will be delivered to the
owner without charge, representing the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so
surrendered. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or
portions of Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable
at the redemption price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the City shall
default in the payment of the redemption price) such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to
bear interest. Upon partial redemption of any Bond, a new Bond or Bonds will be delivered to
the owner without charge, representing the remaining principal amount outstanding.
Bonds maturing in the years 2037 shall be subject to mandatory redemption, at a
redemption price equal to their principal amount plus interest accrued thereon to the
redemption date, without premium, on February 1 in each of the years shown below, in an
amount equal to the following principal amounts:
Term Bonds Maturing in 2037
Sinking Fund Aggregate
Payment Date Principal Amount
2035 $165,000
2036 170,000
2037 (final 175,000
maturity)
Notice of redemption shall be given as provided in the preceding paragraph.
As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this
Bond is transferable upon the Bond Register maintained by the Registrar at its principal office,
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
Resolution No. 16-53 -17- September 20, 2016
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 designated
transferee or transferees, of the same aggregate principal amount, bearing interest at the
same rate and maturing on the same date. The Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to pay any tax, fee or governmental charge required to be paid with respect to any
such transfer or exchange.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Bond, so long as this Bond is registered in
the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, or in the name of any
other nominee of The Depository Trust Company or other securities depository, the Registrar
shall pay all principal of and interest on this Bond, and shall give all notices with respect to this
Bond, only to Cede & Co. or other nominee in accordance with the operational arrangements
of The Depository Trust Company or other securities depository as agreed to by the City.
The City and the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is
registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose
of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and neither the City nor the Registrar shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that all acts,
conditions and things required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be
done, to exist, to happen and to be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond in
order to make it a valid and binding general obligation of the City in accordance with its terms,
have been done, do exist, have happened and have been performed as so required; that by
the Resolution, the City has covenanted and agreed to impose and collect, or cause to be
imposed and collected, charges for the service, use and availability of the System at the times

appropriated by the City, will be receivable in the years and in amounts sufficient to produce
sums not less than five percent in excess of the principal of and interest on the Bonds when
due; that if necessary for payment of principal and interest on the Bonds, ad valorem taxes are
required to be levied upon all taxable property in the City, without limitation as to rate or
amount; and that the issuance of this Bond, together with all other indebtedness of the City
outstanding on the date hereof and on the date of its actual issuance and delivery, does not
cause the indebtedness of the City to exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation of
indebtedness.
This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any
security or benefit under the Resolution until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have
been executed by the Registrar by manual signature of one of its authorized representatives.
