RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND AWARDING THE SALE OF
$13,185,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION TEMPORARY SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS,
SERIES 2025A AND PLEDGING TAX REVENUES FOR THE PAYMENT THEREOF
A. WHEREAS, the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Chanhassen (the
"City") has heretofore determined and declared that it is necessary and expedient to issue
$13,185,000 General Obligation Temporary Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2025A (the
"Bonds" or a "Bond"), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475; and
B. Minnesota Session Laws, 2023, Regular Session, Chapter 64, Article 10, Section
29 (the "Special Law"), authorizes the City to levy a sales and use tax of one-half of one percent
on sales transactions taxable pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 297A, that occur within the
City (the "Sales Tax") to finance the acquisition of land and project costs for the construction of a
new Chan Rec Center, which is expected to include an indoor walking track, indoor ice facilities,
indoor playground, indoor fieldhouse, and expanded community center amenities, as outlined in
the Chanhassen Bluffs Community Center project plan, to be located in the City (the "Chanhassen
Bluffs Community Center") as authorized by the November 5, 2024 general election and as further
provided in the Special Law and Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475 (collectively, the "Act"). Under
the Act, the City is also authorized to issue its general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed
$40,000,000, plus associated bonding costs for the Chanhassen Bluffs Community Center in
anticipation of the collection of the Sales Tax (collectively, the "Tax Revenues") to provide funds
for acquisition or betterment of the Chanhassen Bluffs Community Center, and to apply the Tax
Revenues to the payment of the costs of collecting the Sales Tax, to the payment of all or a portion
of the cost of the Chanhassen Bluffs Community Center or to the payment of principal of or interest
on such bonds; and
C. WHEREAS, the City did take all action required under the Act to authorize the
issuance of such general obligation bonds by resolution of this Council, and the City enacted an
173202589v2
2
ordinance imposing the Local Sales and Use Tax as authorized by the Act, which is codified as
Ordinance No. 737 of the Chanhassen City Code (the "Ordinance"); and
D. WHEREAS, on May 5, 2025, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-32 (the
"Preliminary Resolution") authorizing the issuance and sale of the Bonds; and
E. WHEREAS, the City has retained Ehlers & Associates, Inc., in Roseville,
Minnesota ("Ehlers"), as its independent municipal advisor for the sale of the Bonds and was
therefore authorized to sell the Bonds by private negotiation in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.60, Subdivision 2(9) and proposals to purchase the Bonds have been solicited
by Ehlers; and
F. WHEREAS, the proposals set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto were received by
the City Manager, or designee, at the offices of Ehlers at 10:00 A.M. this same day pursuant to the
Preliminary Official Statement for the Bonds, dated May 29, 2025; and
G. WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City that the Bonds be issued in book-
entry form as hereinafter provided; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Chanhassen,
Minnesota, as follows:
1. Acceptance of Proposal; Ratification. The City Council hereby affirms and ratifies:
(a) the Preliminary Resolution, which granted authority to the Mayor and City Manager to approve
the sale of the Bonds pursuant to the parameters contained therein, and (b) the approval of, and
actions taken in regards thereto by, the Mayor and City Manager for the sale of the Bonds. The
Preliminary Resolution is hereby incorporated as though fully set forth herein. This resolution
constitutes the "Ratifying Resolution" contemplated by the Preliminary Resolution.
The proposal of Piper Sandler & Co., in Minneapolis, Minnesota (the "Purchaser"), to
purchase the Bonds, in accordance with the Preliminary Official Statement established for the
Bonds, at the rates of interest hereinafter set forth, and to pay therefor the sum of $13,119,338.70,
plus interest accrued to settlement, is hereby found, determined and declared to be the most
favorable proposal received, is hereby accepted and the Bonds are hereby awarded to the
Purchaser. The Finance Director is directed to retain the deposit of the Purchaser.
2. Bond Terms.
(a) Original Issue Date; Denominations; Maturities. The Bonds shall be dated June 26,
2025, as the date of original issue, and shall be issued forthwith on or after such date in fully
registered form. The Bond shall be numbered R-1 in the denomination of $5,000 each or in any
integral multiple thereof of a single maturity (the "Authorized Denominations"). The Bonds shall
mature on February 1, 2028.
(b) Book Entry Only System. The Depository Trust Company, a limited purpose trust
company organized under the laws of the State of New York or any of its successors or its
successors to its functions hereunder (the "Depository") will act as securities depository for the
Bonds, and to this end:
173202589v2
3
(i) The Bonds shall be initially issued and, so long as they remain in book entry
form only (the "Book Entry Only Period"), shall at all times be in the form of a separate
single fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds; and for purposes of complying
with this requirement under paragraphs 5 and 10 Authorized Denominations for any Bond
shall be deemed to be limited during the Book Entry Only Period to the outstanding
principal amount of that Bond.
(ii) Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a bond
register maintained by the Bond Registrar (as hereinafter defined) in the name of CEDE &
CO., as the nominee (it or any nominee of the existing or a successor Depository, the
"Nominee").
(iii) With respect to the Bonds neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall have
any responsibility or obligation to any broker, dealer, bank, or any other financial
institution for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (the "Participant")
or the person for which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds shown on the books
and records of the Participant (the "Beneficial Owner"). Without limiting the immediately
preceding sentence, neither the City, nor the Bond Registrar, shall have any such
responsibility or obligation with respect to (A) the accuracy of the records of the
Depository, the Nominee or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the
Bonds, or (B) the delivery to any Participant, any Owner or any other person, other than
the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption,
or (C) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than
the Depository, of any amount with respect to the principal of or premium, if any, or interest
on the Bonds, or (D) the consent given or other action taken by the Depository as the
Registered Holder of any Bonds (the "Holder"). For purposes of securing the vote or
consent of any Holder under this Resolution, the City may, however, rely upon an omnibus
proxy under which the Depository assigns its consenting or voting rights to certain
Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date identified in a
listing attached to the omnibus proxy.
(iv) The City and the Bond Registrar may treat as and deem the Depository to
be the absolute owner of the Bonds for the purpose of payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption
and other matters with respect to the Bonds, for the purpose of obtaining any consent or
other action to be taken by Holders for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to
such Bonds, and for all purpose whatsoever. The Bond Registrar, as paying agent
hereunder, shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to
the Holder or the Holders of the Bonds as shown on the bond register, and all such
payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations
with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent
of the sum or sums so paid.
(v) Upon delivery by the Depository to the Bond Registrar of written notice to
the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new Nominee in place of the
existing Nominee, and subject to the transfer provisions in paragraph 10, references to the
Nominee hereunder shall refer to such new Nominee.
173202589v2
4
(vi) So long as any Bond is registered in the name of a Nominee, all payments
with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all
notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, by the Bond
Registrar or City, as the case may be, to the Depository as provided in the Letter of
Representations to the Depository required by the Depository as a condition to its acting
as book-entry Depository for the Bonds (said Letter of Representations, together with any
replacement thereof or amendment or substitute thereto, including any standard procedures
or policies referenced therein or applicable thereto respecting the procedures and other
matters relating to the Depository's role as book-entry Depository for the Bonds,
collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Letter of Representations").
(vii) All transfers of beneficial ownership interests in each Bond issued in book-
entry form shall be limited in principal amount to Authorized Denominations and shall be
effected by procedures by the Depository with the Participants for recording and
transferring the ownership of beneficial interests in such Bonds.
(viii) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to the
Holders pursuant to this Resolution by the City or Bond Registrar with respect to any
consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the Depository shall consider the date of
receipt of notice requesting such consent or other action as the record date for such consent
or other action; provided, that the City or the Bond Registrar may establish a special record
date for such consent or other action. The City or the Bond Registrar shall, to the extent
possible, give the Depository notice of such special record date not less than 15 calendar
days in advance of such special record date to the extent possible.
(ix) Any successor Bond Registrar in its written acceptance of its duties under
this Resolution and any paying agenc y/bond registrar agreement, shall agree to take any
actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the Letter of
Representations.
(c) Termination of Book-Entry Only System. Discontinuance of a particular
Depository's services and termination of the book-entry only system may be effected as follows:
(i) The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its services with
respect to the Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the City and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. The City may terminate the
services of the Depository with respect to the Bond if it determines that the Depository is
no longer able to carry out its functions as securities depository or the continuation of the
system of book-entry transfers through the Depository is not in the best interests of the City
or the Beneficial Owners.
(ii) Upon termination of the services of the Depository as provided in the
preceding paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository is willing to undertake the
functions of the Depository hereunder can be found which, in the opinion of the City, is
willing and able to assume such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the
City determines that it is in the best interests of the City or the Beneficial Owners of the
Bond that the Beneficial Owners be able to obtain certificates for the Bonds, the Bonds
shall no longer be registered as being registered in the bond register in the name of the
173202589v2
5
Nominee, but may be registered in whatever name or names the Holder of the Bonds shall
designate at that time, in accordance with paragraph 10. To the extent that the Beneficial
Owners are designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with paragraph 10,
the Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.
(iii) Nothing in this subparagraph (c) shall limit or restrict the provisions of
paragraph 10.
(d) Letter of Representations. The provisions in the Letter of Representations are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part of the resolution, and if and to the extent any
such provisions are inconsistent with the other provisions of this resolution, the provisions in the
Letter of Representations shall control.
3. Purpose; Findings. The Bonds shall provide funds to finance the Project. The total
cost of the Project, which shall include all costs enumerated in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65,
is estimated to be at least equal to the amount of the Bonds. The City covenants that it shall do all
things and perform all acts required of it to assure that work on the Project proceeds with due
diligence to completion and that any and all permits and studies required under law for the Project
are obtained. Authorized expenses include, but are not limited to, acquiring property and paying
construction expenses related to these improvements, and paying debt service on bonds or other
obligations issued to finance acquisition and construction of the Project.
4. Interest. The Bonds shall bear interest payable semiannually on February 1 and
August 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing February 1, 2026,
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, at the rate of 3.00% per annum.
5. Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption and prepayment at the
option of the City on August 1, 2026, and on any date thereafter at a price of par plus accrued
interest. Redemption may be in whole or in part of the Bonds subject to prepayment. If redemption
is in part, the specific Bonds to be prepaid shall be chosen by lot by the Bond Registrar. Bonds or
portions thereof called for redemption shall be due and payable on the redemption date, and interest
thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption date. Mailed notice of redemption
shall be given to the paying agent and to each affected registered holder of the Bonds not more
than sixty (60) days and not fewer than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
To effect a partial redemption of Bonds having a common maturity date, the Bond Registrar
prior to giving notice of redemption shall assign to each Bond having a common maturity date a
distinctive number for each $5,000 of the principal amount of such Bond. The Bond Registrar
shall then select by lot, using such method of selection as it shall deem proper in its discretion,
from the numbers so assigned to such Bonds, as many numbers as, at $5,000 for each number,
shall equal the principal amount of such Bonds to be redeemed. The Bonds to be redeemed shall
be the Bonds to which were assigned numbers so selected; provided, however, that only so much
of the principal amount of each such Bond of a denomination of more than $5,000 shall be
redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it and so selected. If a Bond is to be
redeemed only in part, it shall be surrendered to the Bond Registrar (with, if the City or Bond
Registrar so requires, a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the City and Bond
Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing)
and the City shall execute (if necessary) and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to
173202589v2
6
the Holder of the Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds having the same stated
maturity and interest rate and of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations, as requested by
the Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of
the principal of the Bond so surrendered.
6. Bond Registrar. Bond Trust Services Corporation in Roseville, Minnesota, is
appointed to act as bond registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Bonds (the "Bond
Registrar"), and shall do so unless and until a successor Bond Registrar is duly appointed, all
pursuant to any contract the City and any successor Bond Registrar shall execute which is
consistent herewith. The Bond Registrar shall also serve as paying agent unless and until a
successor paying agent is duly appointed. Principal and interest on the Bonds shall be paid to the
registered holders (or record holders) of the Bonds in the manner set forth in the form of Bond and
paragraph 12.
7. Form of Bond. The Bonds, together with the Bond Registrar's Certificate of
Authentication, the form of Assignment and the registration information thereon, shall be in
substantially the form set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.
8. Execution. The Bonds shall be in typewritten form, shall be executed on behalf of
the City by the signatures of its Mayor and City Manager and be sealed with the seal of the City;
provided, as permitted by law, both signatures may be photocopied facsimiles and the corporate
seal has been omitted. In the event of disability or resignation or other absence of either officer,
the Bonds may be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the officer who may act on behalf
of the absent or disabled officer. In case either officer whose signature or facsimile of whose
signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the Bonds,
the signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if
the officer had remained in office until delivery.
9. Authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled
to any security or benefit under this resolution unless a Certificate of Authentication on the Bond,
substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, shall have been duly executed by
the Bond Registrar. Certificates of Authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the
same person. The Bond Registrar shall authenticate the signatures of officers of the City on each
Bond by execution of the Certificate of Authentication on the Bond and, by inserting as the date
of registration in the space provided, the date on which the Bond is authenticated, except that for
purposes of delivering the original Bonds to the Purchaser, the Bond Registrar shall insert as a date
of registration the date of original issue of June 26, 2025. The Certificate of Authentication so
executed on each Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered
under this resolution.
10. Registration; Transfer; Exchange. The City will cause to be kept at the principal
office of the Bond Registrar a bond register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Bond Registrar may prescribe, the Bond Registrar shall provide for the registration of Bonds and
the registration of transfers of Bonds entitled to be registered or transferred as herein provided.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, the
City shall execute (if necessary), and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate, insert the date of
registration (as provided in paragraph 9) of, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
173202589v2
7
or transferees, one or more new Bonds of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations of a
like aggregate principal amount, having the same stated maturity and interest rate, as requested by
the transferor; provided, however, that no Bond may be registered in blank or in the name of
"bearer" or similar designation.
At the option of the Holder, Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any Authorized
Denomination or Denominations of a like aggregate principal amount and stated maturity, upon
surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the principal office of the Bond Registrar. Whenever
any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the City shall execute (if necessary), and the Bond
Registrar shall authenticate, insert the date of registration of, and deliver the Bonds which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All Bonds surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this resolution shall
be promptly canceled by the Bond Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
All Bonds delivered in exchange for or upon transfer of Bonds shall be valid general
obligations of the City evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
resolution, as the Bonds surrendered for such exchange or transfer.
Every Bond presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.
The Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer or exchange of any Bond and any
legal or unusual costs regarding transfers and lost Bonds.
Transfers shall also be subject to reasonable regulations of the City contained in any
agreement with the Bond Registrar, including regulations which permit the Bond Registrar to close
its transfer books between record dates and payment dates. The Finance Director is hereby
authorized to negotiate and execute the terms of said agreement.
11. Rights Upon Transfer or Exchange. Each Bond delivered upon transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid,
and to accrue, which were carried by such other Bond.
12. Interest Payment; Record Date. Interest on any Bond shall be paid on each Interest
Payment Date by check or draft mailed to the person in whose name the Bond is registered (the
"Holder") on the registration books of the City maintained by the Bond Registrar and at the address
appearing thereon at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month next preceding
such Interest Payment Date (the "Regular Record Date"). Any such interest not so timely paid
shall cease to be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof as of the Regular Record Date,
and shall be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof at the close of business on a date (the
"Special Record Date") fixed by the Bond Registrar whenever money becomes available for
payment of the defaulted interest. Notice of the Special Record Date shall be given by the Bond
Registrar to the Holders not less than ten days prior to the Special Record Date.
173202589v2
8
13. Treatment of Registered Owner. The City and Bond Registrar may treat the person
in whose name any Bond is registered as the owner of the Bond for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest (subject to the payment provisions in
paragraph 12) on, the Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever whether or not the Bond shall
be overdue, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
14. Delivery; Application of Proceeds. The Bonds when so prepared and executed shall
be delivered by the Finance Director to the Purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price, and the
Purchaser shall not be obliged to see to the proper application thereof.
15. Fund and Accounts. There is hereby created a special fund to be designated the
"General Obligation Temporary Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2025A Fund" (the "Fund") to
be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a bookkeeping account separate and
apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City. The Fund shall
be maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have
been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund the following separate accounts:
(a) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the
proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all costs of
issuance of the Bonds and all costs and expenses of financing the Project, including the cost of any
construction contracts heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind
authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65. Moneys in the Construction Account shall be
used for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the
Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the
anticipated date of commencement of the collection of taxes herein levied or covenanted to be
levied; and provided further that if upon completion of the Project there shall remain any
unexpended balance in the Construction Account, the balance shall be transferred to the Debt
Service Account.
(b) Debt Service Account. To the Debt Service Account there are hereby irrevocably
appropriated and pledged to, and there shall be credited: (i) Tax Revenues received prior to the
Maturity Date; (ii) the proceeds of any definitive bond or additional temporary bonds in an amount,
together with other moneys then on hand irrevocably appropriated to said account, as is necessary
to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds; (iii) any collections of all taxes which may be
herein and hereafter be levied in the event that the proceeds of any definitive bond or additional
temporary bonds and other available sums herein pledged to the payment of the Bonds are
insufficient therefor; (iv) all funds remaining in the Construction Account after completion of the
Project and payment of the costs thereof; (v) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt
Service Account; and (vi) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are
appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service
Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds and any other general
obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from said account as
provided by law.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire
higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acq uire
higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are
173202589v2
9
needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the above in an
amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. To
this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Construction
Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal
or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then
applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be
invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage
regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or
"minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. Money in the Fund shall
not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States
or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the
Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
16. Levying of Sales Tax. The City will not amend or repeal the Ordinance relating to
the Sales Tax by decreasing the sales tax rate or the appropriation of Sales Tax to the Debt Service
Account, or in any way that would adversely affect the amount of Sales Tax which would
otherwise be collected and deposited to the Debt Service Account. However, nothing shall prevent
the City from amending the Ordinance in order to make changes in the administration, collection
or enforcement of the Sales Tax; provided that such changes shall not materially adversely affect
the interests of the owners of or the security for the Bonds. The City will administer, enforce and
collect, or cause to be administered, enforced or collected, the Sales Tax authorized by the
Ordinance, and shall take such necessary action to collect, or cause to be collected, delinquent
payments in accordance with the law.
17. Pledge of Proceeds of Definitive Bonds or Additional Temporary Bonds; Coverage
Test. To provide moneys for the prompt and full payment of principal and interest on the Bonds,
the City shall issue and sell the definitive bond or additional temporary bonds for delivery and
payment at or prior to the maturity date of the Bonds. The proceeds of the definitive bond or
additional temporary bonds, together with estimated Sales Tax revenues, are hereby found,
determined and declared to be sufficient in amount to pay when due one hundred five percent of
the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
18. Conditions Prior to Issuance of Definitive Bonds. It is hereby found, determined
and declared that all conditions precedent to the offering of definitive bonds of the City to refund
the Bond to the extent necessary within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61,
Subdivision 5, have been met and exist.
19. Defeasance. When all Bonds have been discharged as provided in this paragraph,
all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered holders of the
Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its obligations with
respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by irrevocably depositing with the Bond Registrar
on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if any Bond should not
be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Bond Registrar a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit. The City
may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called for redemption on
any date when they are prepayable according to their terms, by depositing with the Bond Registrar
173202589v2
10
on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full, provided that notice of
redemption thereof has been duly given. The City may also at any time discharge its obligations
with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and
regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable banking institution
qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities described in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 8, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates
and maturing on such dates as shall be required, without regard to sale and/or reinvestment, to pay
all amounts to become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has
been duly provided for, to such earlier redemption date.
20. Compliance With Reimbursement Bond Regulations. The provisions of this
paragraph are intended to establish and provide for the City's compliance with United States
Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2 (the "Reimbursement Regulations") applicable to the
"reimbursement proceeds" of the Bonds, being those portions thereof which will be used by the
City to reimburse itself for any expenditure which the City paid or will have paid prior to the
Closing Date (a "Reimbursement Expenditure").
The City hereby certifies and/or covenants as follows:
(a) Not later than sixty days after the date of payment of a Reimbursement Expenditure,
the City (or person designated to do so on behalf of the City) has made or will have made a written
declaration of the City's official intent (a "Declaration") which effectively (i) states the City's
reasonable expectation to reimburse itself for the payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure out
of the proceeds of a subsequent borrowing; (ii) gives a general and functional description of the
property, project or program to which the Declaration relates and for which the Reimbursement
Expenditure is paid, or identifies a specific fund or account of the City and the general functional
purpose thereof from which the Reimbursement Expenditure was to be paid (collectively the
"Program"); and (iii) states the maximum principal amount of debt expected to be issued by the
City for the purpose of financing the Program; provided, however, that no such Declaration shall
necessarily have been made with respect to: (i) "preliminary expenditures" for the Program,
defined in the Reimbursement Regulations to include engineering or architectural, surveying and
soil testing expenses and similar prefatory costs, which in the aggregate do not exceed twenty
percent of the "issue price" of the Bonds, and (ii) a de minimis amount of Reimbursement
Expenditures not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds.
(b) Each Reimbursement Expenditure is a capital expenditure or a cost of issuance of
the Bonds or any of the other types of expenditures described in Section 1.150 -2(d)(3) of the
Reimbursement Regulations.
(c) The "reimbursement allocation" described in the Reimbursement Regulations for
each Reimbursement Expenditure shall and will be made forthwith following (but not prior to) the
issuance of the Bonds, and not later than 18 months after the later of (i) the date of the payment of
the Reimbursement Expenditure, or (ii) the date on which the Program to which the
Reimbursement Expenditure relates is first placed in service, but in no event more than three years
after the date of payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure.
173202589v2
11
(d) Each such reimbursement allocation will be made in a writing that evidences the
City's use of Bond proceeds to reimburse the Reimbursement Expenditure and, if made within 30
days after the Bonds are issued, shall be treated as made on the day the Bonds are issued.
Provided, however, that the City may take action contrary to any of the foregoing covenants
in this paragraph upon receipt of an opinion of its bond counsel for the Bonds stating in effect that
