Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5005 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Russ Van Gompel, Director of Finance DATE: June 3, 2021 RE: Approve Resolution authorizing the issuance of approximately $8,765,000 aggregate principal amount of General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds, Series 2021A, of the City of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, in such amount, providing details, prescribing the form of bond, awarding the bonds to the best bidder, levying taxes, and related matters. Approve Resolution authorizing the issuance of approximately $5,550,000 aggregate principal amount of General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 2021B, of the City of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, in such amount, providing details, prescribing the form of note, awarding the notes to the best bidder, levying taxes, and related matters. Approve Resolution determining to issue approximately $7,635,000 aggregate principal amount of Storm Water Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 2021C, of the City of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, in such amount providing details, prescribing the form of bond, awarding the bonds to the best bidder, and providing for the payment of said bonds and covenants with respect thereto. BACKGROUND On April 27, 2021 the common Council approved the initial borrowing resolutions which stated the intent to borrow and authorized staff to proceed with the preparation and documentation needed to sell the bonds. The sale of the bonds will be completed and the final approval is needed to authorize that sale of the General Obligation Bonds and Notes as well as the Storm Water Utility Revenue Bonds. As noted in the April Council communication, the sale of the bonds needed to occur at least 30 days after the initial resolution was authorized, and this requirement has been satisfied. As is normal practice, the bonds and notes as outlined above will be offered to the public through competitive sales at 11AM on Tuesday, June 8, 2021. Following the sales and tentative agreements the terms will be presented for approval to the Council at Tuesday’s meeting. Finance Department City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5005 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us As outlined in the initial resolutions, we are separating the Utility borrowing from the general obligation borrowing to match the obligations with the funds that benefit from the borrowing. This also helps manage the City’s debt burden in recognition of the regulatory limit of 5% of Equalized Value for General Obligation Debt, and to reserve general obligation borrowing capacity for future needs. ANALYSIS While we will not be able to do an exact dollar analysis of the bids until they are received on Tuesday, June 8, the information below provides details of a typical tax-exempt borrowing. Tax-Exempt Borrowing Option is traditionally the lowest cost option to obtain funds for public use. There are certain requirements that the City must follow in executing the bonds that include the proper use, recordkeeping, and accountability of the funds. While market conditions and specific bidders dictate what the interest rates are, the City will not have the exact numbers until next week. The interest rate assumptions used for planning were a True Interest Cost (TIC) of 1.86% for the General Obligation Bonds, 1.44% for the General Obligation Notes, and 2.03% for the Storm Water Revenue Bonds. Since the time the planning runs were prepared, market conditions have been volatile, so it’s difficult to assume where the final rates will be bid on June 8th. However, I have been told that market conditions look good headed into next week and the City may receive bids lower than the projections made during our planning process. FISCAL IMPACT The $8,765,000 of General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds will be paid off over twenty years. The $5,550,000 of General Obligation Promissory Notes will be paid off over ten years. The Storm Water System Revenue Bonds of $7,635,000 will be paid off over twenty years. All issues will be added to the City’s outstanding debt obligations. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the resolutions noted above. Respectfully Submitted, Approved: Russ Van Gompel Mark A.

The certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by the Registrar if signed by an authorized officer of the Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued under this Resolution. Section 5. Registration of Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners. (a) The City shall cause books (the “Bond Register”) for the registration and for the transfer of the Bonds as provided in this Resolution to be kept at the designated office of the Registrar, which is hereby constituted and appointed the registrar of the City with respect to the Bonds herein authorized. The City is authorized to prepare, and the Registrar shall keep custody of, multiple Bond blanks executed by the City for use in the transfer and exchange of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the principal corporate trust office of the Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by, the registered owner or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, the City shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate, date and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new fully registered Bond or Bonds of the same maturity of authorized denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount. Any fully registered Bond or Bonds may be exchanged at said office of the Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of Bond or Bonds of the same maturity of other authorized denominations. The execution by the City of any fully registered Bond shall constitute full and due authorization of such Bond and the Registrar shall thereby be authorized to authenticate, date and deliver such Bond, provided, however, the principal amount of outstanding Bonds of each maturity authenticated by the Registrar shall not exceed the authorized principal amount of Bonds for such maturity less previous retirements. The Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond during the period beginning at the close of business on the 15th day of the month next preceding any interest payment date on such Bond and ending at the opening of business on such interest payment date, nor to transfer or exchange any Bond after notice calling such Bond for redemption has been mailed, nor during a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding mailing of a notice of redemption of any Bonds. The person in whose name any Bond shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his or her legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the City or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Bonds except in the case of the issuance of a Bond or Bonds for the unredeemed portion of a Bond surrendered for redemption. (b) Global Book-Entry System. The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond for each of the maturities of the Bonds determined as described in Section 2 hereof. Unless otherwise requested by any Purchaser, upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto (“Cede”), as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, and its successors and assigns (“DTC”). All of the outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, except as hereinafter provided. The Mayor, the City Manager, the Treasurer, the Director of Finance and any other business official of the City and the Registrar are each authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, such letters to or agreements with DTC as shall be necessary to effectuate such book-entry system (any such letter or agreement being referred to herein as the “Representation Letter”), which Representation Letter may provide for the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds by wire transfer. With respect to Bonds registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, the City and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any broker- dealer, bank or other financial institution for which DTC holds Bonds from time to time as securities depository (each such broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution being referred to herein as a “DTC Participant”) or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any amount with respect to the principal of or interest on the Bonds. The City and the Registrar may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the Bond Register as the holder and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective registered owners of the Bonds, as shown in the Bond Register, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest with respect to any Bond. 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, and subject to the provisions in Section 3 hereof with respect to the payment of interest to the registered owners of Bonds at the close of business on the 15th day of the month next preceding the applicable interest payment date, the name “Cede” in this resolution shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. In the event that (i) the City determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the Representation Letter, (ii) the agreement among the City, the Registrar and DTC evidenced by the Representation Letter shall be terminated for any reason or (iii) the City determines that it is in the best interests of the beneficial owners of the Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the City shall notify DTC and DTC Participants of the availability through DTC of certificated Bonds and the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC. At that time, the City may determine that the Bonds shall be registered in the name of and deposited with such other depository operating a universal book-entry system, as may be acceptable to the City, or such depository’s agent or designee, and if the City does not select such alternate universal book-entry system, then the Bonds may be registered in whatever name or names registered owners of Bonds transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(a) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this resolution to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, in the name provided in the Representation Letter. Section 6. Prior Redemption. The Bonds maturing on and after June 1, 2032, shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City, as a whole or in part in such order as the City may determine (less than all of the Bonds of a single maturity to be selected by the Registrar as hereinafter provided), on June 1, 2031, and on any date thereafter, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof being redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Bonds maturing on June 1, 2038 shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, in integral multiples of $5,000 selected by the Registrar, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof being redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, on June 1 of the following years and in the following amounts: REDEMPTION DATE JUNE 1 PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF REDEMPTION 2037 $350,000 2038* 360,000 ______________________________ * Maturity The principal amounts of Bonds to be mandatorily redeemed in each year may be reduced through the earlier optional redemption thereof, with any partial optional redemptions of such Bonds credited against future mandatory redemption requirements in such order of the mandatory redemption dates as the City may determine. In addition, on or prior to the 60th day preceding any mandatory redemption date, the Registrar may, and if directed by the Common Council shall, purchase Bonds required to be retired on such mandatory redemption date. Any such Bonds so purchased shall be cancelled and the principal amount thereof shall be credited against the mandatory redemption required on such next mandatory redemption date. The Bonds shall be redeemed only in the principal amount of $5,000 and integral multiples thereof. The City shall, at least forty-five (45) days prior to any optional redemption date (unless a shorter time period shall be satisfactory to the Registrar) notify the Registrar of such redemption date and of the principal amount and maturity or maturities of Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Bonds of a single series and maturity, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Registrar from the Bonds of such series and maturity by such method of lottery as the Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that such lottery shall provide for the selection for redemption of Bonds or portions thereof so that any $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion of a Bond shall be as likely to be called for redemption as any other such $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion. The Registrar shall make such selection upon the earlier of the irrevocable deposit of funds with an escrow agent sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds to be redeemed or the time of the giving of official notice of redemption. The Registrar shall promptly notify the City in writing of the Bonds or portions of Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Section 7. Redemption Procedure. Unless waived by any holder of Bonds to be redeemed, notice of the call for any such redemption shall be given by the Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing the redemption notice by first class mail at least thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Registrar. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the date fixed for redemption, (2) the redemption price, (3) if less than all outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification, including CUSIP numbers (and, in the case of any partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed, (4) that on the date fixed for redemption the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date, and (5) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the designated office of the Registrar. Unless moneys sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds to be redeemed at the option of the City shall have been received by the Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice may, at the option of the City, state that said redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt of such moneys by the Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. If such moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the City shall not redeem such Bonds, and the Registrar shall give notice, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption shall have been given, that such moneys were not so received and that such Bonds will not be redeemed. Otherwise, prior to any redemption date, the City shall deposit with the Registrar an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date. Subject to the provisions for a conditional redemption described above, 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 surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be paid by the Registrar at the redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared for the registered holder a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity in the amount of the unpaid principal. If any Bond or portion of Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Bond or portion of Bond so called for redemption. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Registrar and shall not be reissued. Section 8. Form of Bonds. The Bonds, the certificate of authentication to be endorsed thereon and the form of assignment to be endorsed thereon are all to be in substantially the following forms with necessary and appropriate variations, omissions and insertions as permitted or required by this Resolution, including any reordering or other modifications required if the Bonds are printed on a single side: No. R-__________ $__________ (FORM OF BOND) UNITED STATES OF AMERICA STATE OF WISCONSIN COUNTY OF WINNEBAGO CITY OF OSHKOSH GENERAL OBLIGATION CORPORATE PURPOSE BOND SERIES 2021A RATE OF INTEREST MATURITY DATE DATED DATE CUSIP NUMBER _____% June 1, ____ June 30, 2021 __________ Registered Owner: Principal Amount: KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That the City of Oshkosh in the County of Winnebago and the State of Wisconsin (the “City”), hereby acknowledges itself to owe and for value received promises to pay to the Registered Owner hereinabove identified, or registered assigns as hereinafter provided, on the Maturity Date hereinabove identified, the Principal Amount hereinabove identified and to pay interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) on such Principal Amount from the Dated Date hereinabove identified or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid at the Rate of Interest per annum hereinabove identified on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2022, until said Principal Amount is paid, except as the provisions hereinafter set forth with respect to redemption prior to maturity may be and become applicable to this Bond.

In order to provide for the collection of a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on the Bonds and to pay and discharge the principal thereof at maturity, there is hereby levied upon all the taxable property in the City of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, a direct annual tax in amounts sufficient for that purpose, and there is hereby levied upon all taxable property in the City the following direct annual tax in each of the years and amounts, to-wit: YEAR AMOUNT 2021 $857,759.02 2022 659,525.00 2023 581,250.00 2024 564,025.00 2025 556,800.00 2026 554,350.00 2027 551,600.00 2028 543,625.00 2029 542,650.00 2030 538,700.00 2031 539,600.00 2032 540,300.00 2033 535,850.00 2034 531,300.00 2035 531,600.00 2036 383,200.00 2037 386,100.00 2038 388,800.00 2039 386,350.00 2040 383,800.00 In each of said years from 2021 to 2040, inclusive, the direct annual tax above levied shall be extended upon the tax rolls of the City in the same manner and time as taxes for general City purposes, and when collected the proceeds of said taxes shall be deposited into the account of the debt service fund established in favor of the Bonds, to be used solely for paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds as long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding. Section 11. Sufficiency. Interest or principal maturing at any time during the life of the Bonds when there shall be insufficient funds on hand from the above tax levy to pay the same shall be paid promptly when due from the general fund of the City, and said fund shall be reimbursed in a like amount out of the proceeds of taxes hereby levied when the same shall have been collected. Section 12. Debt Service Fund. There has been ordered to be established in the City Treasury a fund separate and distinct from all other funds of the City to be designated the “Debt Service Fund,” which fund shall be used solely for the purpose of paying the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on municipal obligations issued pursuant to Chapter 67, Wisconsin Statutes, as supplemented and amended. There is hereby created, and there shall be deposited in, an account known as the “Series 2021A Corporate Purpose Bond Account” to be held as a part of the Debt Service Fund, all premium on the Bonds (net of underwriter’s discount), if any, and accrued interest, if any, paid on the Bonds at the time the Bonds are delivered to the purchasers thereof; all money raised by taxation pursuant to Section 10 hereof; and such other sums as may be necessary to pay the interest on the Bonds when the same shall become due and to retire the Bonds at their respective maturity dates. Section 13. Use of Proceeds; No Arbitrage; Bonds to Remain in Registered Form; Reimbursement. The principal proceeds of the Bonds shall be deposited in a special fund, and used solely for the purpose of financing the public purpose projects for which the Bonds are hereby authorized. Such proceeds deposited into the Construction Fund from the sale of the Bonds shall be used only to pay the costs of the public projects aforesaid and the Common Council hereby covenants and agrees that said principal proceeds shall be devoted to and used with due diligence for such purposes. The City recognizes that the purchasers and owners of the Bonds will have accepted them on, and paid therefor a price which reflects, the understanding that the interest thereon is excludible from gross income of the owners thereof for Federal income tax purposes under laws in force at the time the Bonds shall have been delivered. In this connection, the City agrees that it shall take no action which may render the interest on any of the Bonds includible in gross income of the owners thereof for Federal income tax purposes and that the principal proceeds of the sale of the Bonds shall be devoted to and used with due diligence for the purposes for which the Bonds are hereby authorized to be issued. The City agrees that, to the extent possible under state law, it will comply with whatever Federal law is adopted in the future, which applies to the Bonds and affects the tax-exempt status of the interest on the Bonds. The City Manager, the City Clerk, the City Treasurer/Finance Director or any of them, are hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the City a Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement to assure the purchasers and owners of the Bonds that the proceeds of the Bonds are not expected to be used in a manner which would or might result in the Bonds being “reimbursement bonds” issued in contravention of Section 1.103-18 of the United States Treasury Department Regulations (the “Regulations”) or “arbitrage bonds” under Section 148 of the Code or the Regulations currently in effect or proposed. Such Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement shall constitute a representation, certification and covenant of the City, and shall be incorporated herein by reference, and no use or investment of Bond proceeds or of moneys accumulated to pay the Bonds herein authorized shall be made in violation of the expectations prescribed by said Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement. Such Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement shall constitute an agreement of the City to follow certain covenants which may require the City to take certain actions (including the payment of certain amounts to the United States of America) or which may prohibit certain actions (including the establishment of certain funds and account) under certain conditions as specified in such Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement. The City further recognizes that Section 149(a) of the Code requires the Bonds to be issued and to remain in fully registered form in order that the interest thereon is excludible from gross income of the owners thereof for Federal income tax purposes under laws in force at the time the Bonds are delivered. In this connection, the City agrees that it will not take any action to permit the Bonds to be issued in, or converted into, bearer or coupon form. Section 14. Duties of Registrar. If requested by the Registrar, the City Manager of the City is hereby authorized to execute, and the City Clerk of the City is hereby authorized to attest and to affix the official seal of the City, and said City Manager and said City Clerk are hereby authorized to deliver, the Registrar’s standard form of agreement between the City and the Registrar with respect to the obligations and duties of the Registrar hereunder, which shall include the following: (a) to act as Registrar, authenticating agent, paying agent and transfer agent as provided herein; (b) to give notice of redemption of Bonds as provided herein; (c) to cancel and destroy Bonds which have been paid at maturity or upon earlier redemption or submitted for exchange or transfer; (d) to furnish the City at least annually a certificate of destruction with respect to Bonds cancelled and destroyed; and (e) to furnish the City at least annually an audit confirmation of Bonds paid, Bonds outstanding and payments made with respect to the interest on the Bonds. The City Clerk of the City is hereby directed to file a certified copy of this Resolution with the Registrar. The City covenants that it shall at all times retain a Registrar with respect to the Bonds, that it will maintain at the designated office of such Registrar a place or places where Bonds may be presented for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, and that it shall require that the Registrar properly maintain the Bond Register and perform the other duties and obligations imposed upon it by this Resolution in a manner consistent with the standards, customs and practices of the municipal securities industry. The Registrar shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it by this Resolution by executing the certificate of authentication on any Bond, and by such execution the Registrar, shall be deemed to have certified to the City that it has all requisite power to accept and has accepted such duties and obligations. The Registrar is the agent of the City, and shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties, except for its own negligence or willful wrongdoing. The Registrar shall, however, be responsible for any representation in its certificate of authentication on the Bonds. The Registrar may be removed at any time by the City by an instrument in writing delivered to the Registrar. In case the Registrar shall be removed, or shall be dissolved, or shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder, or in case it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by the City by an instrument in writing, a copy of which shall be delivered to the retiring Registrar, the successor Registrar and the registered owners of the Bonds. The City shall mail notice of any such appointment made by it to each registered owner of any Bond within twenty (20) days after such appointment. Any Registrar appointed under the provisions of this Section 14 shall be an officer of the City or a bank, trust company or national banking association. Any corporation or association into which the Registrar may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, merger or consolidation to which it is a party, shall be and become successor Registrar hereunder, and vested with all the duties, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Any such successor Registrar shall give notice thereof to the City and the registered owners of the Bonds. Section 15. Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. The City Manager or the City Treasurer/Finance Director of the City is hereby authorized, empowered and directed to execute and deliver a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking with respect to the Bonds (the “Continuing Disclosure Undertaking”) in substantially the form as the individual executing the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking on behalf of the City shall approve, his or her execution thereof to constitute conclusive evidence of his or her approval of the form of such Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. When the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking is executed and delivered on behalf of the City as herein provided, the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking will be binding on the City and the officers, employees and agents of the City, and the officers, employees and agents of the City are hereby authorized, empowered and directed to do all such acts and things and to execute all such documents as may be necessary to carry out and comply with the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking, as executed. Copies of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking shall be placed in the official records of the City, and shall be available for public inspection at the offices of the City. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, the sole remedy for failure to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking shall be the ability of any beneficial owner of any Bond to seek mandamus or specific performance by court order to cause the City to comply with its obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. Section 16. Other Documents. The City Manager, the City Clerk, the City Treasurer/Finance Director and all other officers of the City are hereby authorized to execute all documents and certificates (including without limitation any certificate or agreement executed to comply with Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission) and to take all actions as may be necessary in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds and the performance of the obligations of the City hereunder and to carry out and comply with the terms of this Resolution, including without limitation an official statement describing the Bonds and the City. This Resolution and all such documents shall be in substantially the same form contemplated by this Resolution, with such changes as shall be approved by the officers executing this Resolution and said documents, the execution thereof to constitute conclusive proof of such approval. Section 17. Record-Keeping Policy and Post-Issuance Compliance Matters. It is necessary and in the best interest of the City to maintain sufficient records to demonstrate compliance with its covenants and expectations to ensure the appropriate federal tax status for the Bonds and other debt obligations of the City, the interest on which is excludable from “gross income” for federal income tax purposes or which enable the City or the holder to receive federal tax benefits, including, but not limited to, qualified tax credit bonds and other specified tax credit bonds (including the Bonds, the “Tax Advantaged Obligations”). Further, it is necessary and in the best interest of the City that (i) the Board adopt policies with respect to record-keeping and post issuance compliance with the City’s covenants related to its Tax Advantaged Obligations and (ii) the Compliance Officer (as hereinafter defined) at least annually review the City’s Contracts (as hereinafter defined) to determine whether the Tax Advantaged Obligations comply with the federal tax requirements applicable to each issue of the Tax Advantaged Obligations. The Common Council and the City hereby adopt the following Record-Keeping Policy: (a) Compliance Officer Is Responsible for Records. The Finance Director (the “Compliance Officer”) is hereby designated as the keeper of all records of the City with respect to each issue of the Tax Advantaged Obligations, and such officer shall report to the Board at least annually that he/she has all of the required records in his/her possession, or is taking appropriate action to obtain or recover such records. (b) Closing Transcripts. For each issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations, the Compliance Officer shall receive, and shall keep and maintain, a true, correct and complete counterpart of each and every document and agreement delivered in connection with the issuance of the Tax Advantaged Obligations, including without limitation (i) the proceedings of the City authorizing the Tax Advantaged Obligations, (ii) any offering document with respect to the offer and sale of the Tax Advantaged Obligations, (iii) any legal opinions with respect to the Tax Advantaged Obligations delivered by any lawyers, and (iv) all written representations of any person delivered in connection with the issuance and initial sale of the Tax Advantaged Obligations. (c) Arbitrage Rebate Liability. The Compliance Officer shall review the agreements of the City with respect to each issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations and shall prepare a report for the Board stating whether or not the City has any rebate liability to the United States Treasury, and setting forth any applicable exemptions that each issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations may have from rebate liability. Such report shall be updated annually and delivered to the Board. (d) Recommended Records. The Compliance Officer shall review the records related to each issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations and shall determine what requirements the City must meet in order to maintain the tax-exemption of interest paid on its Tax Advantaged Obligations, its entitlement to direct payments by the United States Treasury of the applicable percentages of each interest payment due and owing on its Tax Advantaged Obligations, and applicable tax credits or other tax benefits arising from its Tax Advantaged Obligations. The Compliance Officer shall then prepare a list of the contracts, requisitions, invoices, receipts and other information that may be needed in order to establish that the interest paid on the Tax Advantaged Obligations is entitled to be excluded from “gross income” for federal income tax purposes, that the City is entitled to receive from the United States Treasury direct payments of the applicable percentages of interest payments coming due and owing on its Tax Advantaged Obligations, and the entitlement of holders of any Tax Advantaged Obligations to any tax credits or other tax benefits, respectively. Notwithstanding any other policy of the City, such retained records shall be kept for as long as the Tax Advantaged Obligations relating to such records (and any obligations issued to refund the Tax Advantaged Obligations) are outstanding, plus three years, and shall at least include: (i) complete copies of the transcripts delivered when any issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations is initially issued and sold; (ii) copies of account statements showing the disbursements of all Tax Advantaged Obligation proceeds for their intended purposes, and records showing the assets and other property financed by such disbursements; (iii) copies of account statements showing all investment activity of any and all accounts in which the proceeds of any issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations has been held or in which funds to be used for the payment of principal of or interest on any Tax Advantaged Obligations has been held, or which has provided security to the holders or credit enhancers of any Tax Advantaged Obligations; (iv) copies of all bid requests and bid responses used in the acquisition of any special investments used for the proceeds of any issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations, including any swaps, swaptions, or other financial derivatives entered into in order to establish that such instruments were purchased at fair market value; (v) copies of any subscriptions to the United States Treasury for the purchase of State and Local Government Series (SLGS) obligations; (vi) any calculations of liability for arbitrage rebate that is or may become due with respect to any issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations, and any calculations prepared to show that no arbitrage rebate is due, together, if applicable, with account statements or cancelled checks showing the payment of any rebate amounts to the United States Treasury together with any applicable IRS Form 8038-T; and (vii) copies of all contracts and agreements of the City, including any leases (the “Contracts”), with respect to the use of any property owned by the City and acquired, constructed or otherwise financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the Tax Advantaged Obligations effective at any time when such Tax Advantaged Obligations are, will or have been outstanding. Copies of contracts covering no more than 50 days of use and contracts related to City employees need not be retained. (e) IRS Examinations or Inquiries. In the event the IRS commences an examination of any issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations or requests a response to a compliance check, questionnaire or other inquiry, the Compliance Officer shall inform the Board of such event, and is authorized to respond to inquiries of the IRS, and to hire outside, independent professional counsel to assist in the response to the examination or inquiry. (f) Annual Review. The Compliance Officer shall conduct an annual review of the Contracts and other records to determine for each issue of Tax Advantaged Obligations then outstanding whether each such issue complies with the federal tax requirements applicable to such issue, including restrictions on private business use, private payments and private loans. The Compliance Officer is expressly authorized, without further official action of the Board, to hire outside, independent professional counsel to assist in such review. To the extent that any violations or potential violations of federal tax requirements are discovered incidental to such review, the Compliance Officer may make recommendations or take such actions as the Compliance Officer shall reasonably deem necessary to assure the timely correction of such violations or potential violations through remedial actions described in the United States Treasury Regulations, or the Tax Exempt Bonds Voluntary Closing Agreement Program described in Treasury Notice 2008-31 or similar program instituted by the IRS. (g) Training. The Compliance Officer shall undertake to maintain reasonable levels of knowledge concerning the rules related to tax-exempt bonds (and build America bonds and tax credit bonds to the extent the City has outstanding build America bonds or tax-credit bonds) so that such officer may fulfill the duties described in this Section. The Compliance Officer may consult with counsel, attend conferences and presentations of trade groups, read materials posted on various web sites, including the web site of the Tax Exempt Bond function of the IRS, and use other means to maintain such knowledge. Recognizing that the Compliance Officer may not be fully knowledgeable in this area, the Compliance Officer may consult with outside counsel, consultants and experts to assist him or her in exercising his or her duties hereunder. The Compliance Officer will endeavor to make sure that the City’s staff is aware of the need for continuing compliance. The Compliance Officer will provide copies of this Resolution and the Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement or other applicable tax documents for each series of Tax Advantaged Obligations then currently outstanding (the “Tax Agreements”) to staff members who may be responsible for taking actions described in such documents. The Compliance Officer should assist in the education of any new Compliance Officer and the transition of the duties under these procedures. The Compliance Officer will review this Resolution and each of the Tax Agreements periodically to determine if there are portions that need further explanation and, if so, will attempt to obtain such explanation from counsel or from other experts, consultants or staff. (h) Amendment and Waiver. The procedures described in this Section are only for the benefit of the City. No other person (including an owner of a Tax Advantaged Obligation) may rely on the procedures included in this Section. The City may amend this Section and any provision of this Section may be waived, without the consent of the holders of any Tax Advantaged Obligations and as authorized by passage of a resolution by the Board. Additional procedures may be required for Tax Advantaged Obligations the proceeds of which are used for purposes other than capital governmentally owned projects or refundings of such, including tax increment financing bonds, bonds financing output facilities, bonds financing working capital, or private activity bonds. The City also recognizes that these procedures may need to be revised in the event the City enters into any derivative products with respect to its Tax Advantaged Obligations. Section 18. Prior Action. The action of the City Treasurer/Finance Director of the City in causing the notice of the sale of the Bonds to be published is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. Section 19. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Resolution shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining sections, paragraphs and provisions of this Resolution. Section 20. Conflicting Proceedings Superseded. All ordinances, resolutions or orders, or parts thereof, heretofore enacted, adopted or entered, in conflict with the provisions of this Resolution, shall be, and the same are hereby, superseded to the extent of such conflict, and this Resolution shall be in effect from and after its passage.
