and such certificate of authentication upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such
Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. 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. 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.
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 thereof or his 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 denomination or 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 denomination or 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, that the principal amount of the outstanding Bonds authenticated by the Registrar shall
never exceed the authorized principal amount of the Bonds, less previous retirements.
The Registrar may, but 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.
The Registrar shall never register any Bond to bearer.
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 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. The Bonds maturing on and after December 1, 2026,
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 December 1, 2025, 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 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 order and the principal amount of the 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 of such maturity then outstanding 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 prior to maturity 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 registered owner of Bonds
(or portions thereof) to be redeemed, notice of the call for any such redemption prior to maturity
shall be given by the Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing the redemption notice by first
class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 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 so 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. Failure to give such notice by mailing to any owner of
any Bond, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the
redemption of any other Bonds.
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.
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 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, unless all of the Bonds are owned by
one (1) registered owner, 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
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. 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

furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Registrar. Such notice of optional
redemption may be conditional as provided in the Resolution. When so called for redemption,
this Bond, or the portion hereof being so called for redemption, will cease to bear interest on the
specified redemption date, provided funds for redemption are on deposit at the place of payment
on that date, and shall not be deemed to be outstanding.
It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to
be done, exist, happen and be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond have been
done, have existed, have happened and have been performed in due time, form and manner as

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 2017A Corporate Purpose Bond Account," to be held as a part
of the Debt Service Fund, all premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, paid on the Bonds at

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.
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 Federal gross income of the owners thereof 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 Federal gross income of the
owners thereof 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
Federal gross income of the owners thereof 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 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 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 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

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.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Trena Larson, Finance Director
DATE: June 7, 2017
RE: RESOLUTION determining to issue $[5,510,000] aggregate principal amount of General
Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds, Series 2017A, 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 levying taxes.
RESOLUTION determining to issue $[6,090,000] aggregate principal amount of General
Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 20176, 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, and levying taxes.
A RESOLUTION providing for the issuance and sale of $[9,570,000] aggregate principal
amount of Water System Revenue Bonds, Series 2017C, of the City of Oshkosh,
Winnebago County, Wisconsin, providing details, prescribing the form of bond,
awarding said revenue bonds to the best bidder, and providing for the payment of said
revenue bonds and other details and covenants with respect thereto.
BACKGROUND
In November of 2016 the Common Council adopted the 2017 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Staff was then able to execute a reimbursement declaration in November of 2016. On March 28, 2017
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 the sale of the General
Obligation Bonds and Notes as well as the Water System Revenue Bonds. As noted in the March
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 10 AM on Tuesday, June 13, 2017. Following the sales and tentative agreements the
terms will be presented for approval to the Council at Tuesday's meeting.

In addition to these sales, the City also intends to issue revenue bonds for the Storm Water and Sanitary
Sewer Utility in the same manner later in June.
As outlined in the initial resolutions, we are separating the Utility borrowings from the general
obligation borrowings to match the obligations with the funds that benefit from the borrowings. 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 13, 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 3.09% for the General Obligation Bonds, 2.50% for the General Obligation Notes,
and 3.53% for the Water Revenue Bonds. Based on current market conditions we would expect to see
results close to or marginally better than the initial planning estimates.
FISCAL IMPACT
The $6,090,000 of Promissory Notes will be paid off over ten years. The $5,510,000 of General
Obligation Bonds will be paid off over twenty years. The Water System Revenue Bonds of $9,570,000
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 above noted resolutions.
Respectfully Submitted,
Trena Larson
