Resolution. The certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have
been executed by the Registrar if signed by the Registrar or 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. 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

herein authorized. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the designated office of
the Registrar duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar 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 and interest rate 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 and interest rate 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.
The Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond during the
period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any interest payment date on such Bond, nor
to transfer or exchange any Bond after notice calling such Bond for redemption prior to
maturity has been mailed nor during the 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, premium (if any) or interest on any Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of
the registered owner thereof or his 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.
The City and/or the Registrar may enter into an agreement with a securities
depository registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Securities Depository'), including without limitation The Depository Trust
-8-
Company, which is the record owner of the Bonds, to establish procedures with respect
to Bonds owned by such Securities Depository. Such agreement may impose
additional requirements on the Registrar with respect to the Bonds.
Section 6. Prior Redemption. Bonds maturing on and after May 1, 2025, shall
be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City as a whole, or in part
in such order of maturity 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 May 1, 2024,
and on any date thereafter, at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount
thereof being redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
The Bonds shall be redeemed only in the principal amount of $5,000 each and
integral multiples thereof. At least forty-five (45) days prior to the date fixed for an
optional redemption (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Registrar), the
City shall notify the Registrar of such date fixed for redemption and of the principal
amount of Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of
the outstanding Bonds of a single maturity, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to
be redeemed shall be selected by the Registrar from the outstanding Bonds by such
method as the Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate, and which may provide for the
selection for redemption of Bonds or portions of Bonds in principal amounts of $5,000
and integral multiples thereof.
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 certificate number and the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
Section 7. Redemption Procedure. Unless waived by any owner of Bonds (or a
portion thereof) 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, postage prepaid, 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 partial redemption,
the respective principal amounts and certificate numbers) 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
-9-
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 including a contact person and telephone number, which
place of payment shall be the designated office of the Registrar.
Prior to any date fixed for redemption, 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. With respect to an optional redemption
of any Bonds, unless moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds
to be redeemed 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 was given, that
such moneys were not so received and that such Bonds will not be redeemed.
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of
Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the date fixed for redemption, 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 date fixed for
redemption shall be payable as herein provided for the payment of interest. Upon
surrender for any partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared for the
registered owner a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity and interest rate in the
principal amount of the unpaid principal. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be
cancelled and destroyed by the Registrar, and shall not be reissued.
In addition to the redemption notice required above, if there is more than one (1)
registered owner of the Bonds, further notice of redemption (the "Additional Redemption
Notice') shall be given by the Registrar as set forth below, but no defect in the
Additional Redemption Notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of the Additional
Redemption Notice shall in any manner affect the effectiveness of a call for redemption
if notice thereof is given as prescribed above.
Each Additional Redemption Notice given hereunder shall contain the
information required above, plus (i) the date such notice required above has been or will
be mailed; (ii) the date of issuance of the Bonds being redeemed, as originally issued;
(iii) the maturity date of each Bond (or portion thereof) to be redeemed; and (iv) any
other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds being redeemed
prior to maturity.
Each Additional Redemption Notice shall be sent at least thirty (30) days before
the date fixed for redemption by legible facsimile transmission, registered or certified
-10-
mail (postage prepaid) or overnight delivery service to The Depository Trust Company
of New York, New York, and to at least two (2) national information services that
disseminate notices of redemption of obligations such as the Bonds.
Section 8. Payable Solely from Net Revenues. The Bonds, the Outstanding
Bonds and any Parity Bonds, together with premium (if any) and interest thereon, shall
be payable only out of the Net Revenues deposited into the Storm Water Utility Special
Redemption Fund as hereinafter provided, and shall be a valid claim of the owners
thereof only against the Storm Water Utility Special Redemption Fund and from the Net
Revenues pledged to the Storm Water Utility Special Redemption Fund, and on a parity
with the Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Bonds; and sufficient Net Revenues are
hereby pledged to the Storm Water Utility Special Redemption Fund, and shall be used
for no purpose other than to pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the
Bonds, the Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Bonds as the same fall due.
Section 9. 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:

The City Manager, the City Clerk, the Director of Finance/City Treasurer of the
City, or any of them, are hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the City a Tax
Exemption Certificate and Agreement (the "Tax Exemption Certificate') 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

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Trena Larson, Finance Director
DATE: June 24, 2014
RE: Authorize $8,485,000 of Storm Water Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 2014A
BACKGROUND
Following the approval of: the 2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in November of 2013; the
reimbursement declaration, in November 2013, allowing projects to get underway; and the initial
borrowing resolutions, that were approved in May of 2014, stating the intent to borrow as well as
authorizing staff to proceed with the preparation and documentation needed to sell the bonds and receive
the proceeds, this is the final step in the 2014 borrowing process for our storm water needs.
As is normal practice, the bonds, as outlined above, will be offered to the public through a competitive
sale at 12 PM on Tuesday June 24th. Following the sale, and a tentative agreement with the best bidder,
the sale and its terms will be presented for approval to the Council at Tuesday's meeting.
We are, again, separating the Utility borrowings from the general obligation borrowings to match the
obligations with the funds that benefit from the borrowings, and to manage the City's debt burden in
recognition of the regulatory limit of 5% of Equalized Value for General Obligation Debt. This also
allows the City to reserve general obligation borrowing capacity for future needs.
ANALYSIS
Approximately $8.485 Million of the proceeds from this issuance will finance storm water
improvements and capital purchases as approved in the 2014 Capital Improvement Plan.
While market conditions and specific bidders dictate what the interest rates are, and we will not have the
exact numbers until next week, we anticipate a true interest rate in the range of: 3.50% - 4.0% for
twenty year revenue bonds. This range is based on recent public revenue borrowings that have taken
place, and is a very acceptable range in light of current economic conditions.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amount borrowed, $8,485,000 of Storm Water Revenue Bonds, being paid off over twenty years,
will be added to the Storm Water Utility's outstanding debt obligations. The interest expense (cost of
borrowing the funds) that will be incurred over the same time period will be determined next Tuesday,
and presented to the Council at the meeting that evening.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of both of the above noted resolutions.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
