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.

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 mail (postage -11- 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.

Such Tax Exemption Certificate shall constitute a representation, certification and covenant of the City, and shall be incorporated herein by reference, and no 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. Such Tax Exemption Certificate 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) under certain conditions as specified in such Tax Exemption Certificate. 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 on the Bonds continue to be excludible from the 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.

Ubrig City Clerk -22- (. 11111-11) City of Oshkosh Finance Department 215 Church Ave., PO Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 5490392-1130 OlHKOIH 920) 236-5006 0) 236-5039 FAX ON THE WATER MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Trena Larson, Finance Director DATE: August 7, 2015 RE: Authorize $13,805,000 of Storm Water Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 2015C BACKGROUND Following the approval of the 2015 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in November of 2014, the reimbursement declaration in January 2015 allowing projects to get underway, and the initial borrowing resolutions that were approved in April of 2015 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 2015 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 10 AM on Tuesday August l Ith. 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 $9.937 Million of the proceeds from this issuance will finance storm water improvements and capital purchases as approved in the 2015 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 $13,805,000 of Storm Water Revenue Bonds will be split into two amortization schedules. $825,000 will be paid off over a ten year amortization and $6,295,000 will be paid off over a twenty year amortization. These amounts will be added to the Storm Water Utility's outstanding debt obligations. Of the $13,805,000 in Strom Water Bonds, $2,750,000 has been included for advanced refunding. The advanced refunding is estimated to save the City approximately$194,606. 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: ct . Fcrie"W Trena Larson k Rohloff Finance Director City Manager
