Action Requested
The City Council is asked to approve a resolution providing for the issuance and sale of $3,045,000
General Obligation Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, series 2008A and pledging net revenues for the
security thereof.
Background/Discussion
Due to change in the bond interest rate environment and the City's upgrade in bond rating, it provides an
opportunity for the water utility to refund Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1998B & 2001A. The average
interest rate on Series 1998B & 2001A average over 4.75 percent. The utility commission on December
11, 2007, approved a resolution authorizing the City Council to proceed with the current proposed
refunding.
Sid Inman of Ehlers and Associates will be at the Council meeting to present the results of the sale of
$3,045,000 General Obligation Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2008A. Sid will be able to
provide the Council with the net savings of the Refunding Bonds.
Bids for this bond sale will be received on January 22, 2008. A conference call with Moody's was held on
Tuesday, January 15 and it is anticipated that Moody's will maintain the City's General Obligation debt
rating of Aa3, which was recently upgraded in October 2007.
Financial Impact
The bonds will be repaid with revenues from the water utility.

As may be requested by the Purchaser, one or more term Bonds may be issued having
mandatory sinking fund redemption and final maturity amounts conforming to the foregoing
principal repayment schedule, and corresponding additions may be made to the provisions of the
applicable Bond(s).
(b) Book Entr.Y Only. sue. 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:
(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

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

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.
(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.
2116001v1 4
(ix) Any successor Bond Registrar in its written acceptance of its duties under
this Resolution and any paying agency/bond registrar agreement, shall agree to take any
actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the Letter of
Representations.
(x) In the case of a partial prepayment of a Bond, the Holder may, in lieu of
surrendering the Bonds for a Bond of a lesser denomination as provided in paragraph 5
hereof, make a notation of the reduction in principal amount on the panel provided on the
Bond stating the amount so redeemed.
(c) Termination of Book-Entry Only S sy tem. 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
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.

(and hence allocated to the payment of Bonds treated as relating to a particular portion of debt
service) as provided in this paragraph. If the source of prepayment is the general fund of the

4. Purpose; Refundin Fg findings. The Bonds shall provide funds for a current
refunding of the Refunded 1998 Bonds and a crossover advance refunding of the Refunded 2001

Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 12, and (ii) the dollar amount of such present
value of the debt service for the Prior 2001 Bonds Refunding Portion of the Bonds is lower by at
least three percent than the dollar amount of such present value of the debt service for the Prior
2001 Bonds as required in said Subdivision 12.

6. Redemption. Bonds maturing on February 1, 2018, and thereafter, shall be
subject to redemption and prepayment at the option of the City on February 1, 2017, 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, those Bonds remaining unpaid which
have the latest maturity date shall be prepaid first; and if only part of the Bonds having a
common maturity date are called for prepayment, 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

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 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

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 manner heretofore provided by the City. All moneys remaining after paying or providing for
the items set forth in the resolution establishing the Operation and Maintenance Account shall

been paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund the following separate accounts to which shall
be credited and debited all income and disbursements of the System as hereinafter set forth. The
Finance Director and all officials and employees of the City concerned therewith shall establish
and maintain financial records of the receipts and disbursements of the System in accordance

Refunding Portion of the Bonds shall be deposited in the Debt Service Account heretofore
created by the Prior 1998 Resolution for the Prior 1998 Bonds in the General Obligation Water
Revenue Bonds, Series 1998B Fund (the "Redemption Fund"), which amount, together with all
other funds held therein is sufficient to prepay the Prior 1998 Refunding Portion of the Bonds on
March 1, 2008 (the "Call Date").
(b) Escrow Account. The Escrow Account is established for the Refunded 2001
Bonds and the Prior 2001 Refunding Portion of the Bonds and shall be maintained as an escrow
account with U.S. Bank National Association (the "Escrow Agent"), in St. Paul, Minnesota,
which is a suitable financial institution within or without the State whose deposits are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and whose combined capital and surplus is not less
than $500,000. $ in proceeds of the sale of the Prior 2001 Refunding Portion of
the Bonds shall be received by the Escrow Agent and applied to fund the Escrow Account or to
pay costs of issuing the Prior 2001 Refunding Portion of the Bonds. Proceeds of the Prior 2001
Refunding Portion of the Bonds not used to pay costs of issuance are hereby irrevocably pledged
and appropriated to the Escrow Account, together with all investment earnings thereon. The
Escrow Account shall be invested in securities maturing or callable at the option of the holder on
such dates and bearing interest at such rates as shall be required to provide sufficient funds,
together with any cash or other funds retained in the Escrow Account, (i) to pay when due the
interest to accrue on the Prior 2001 Refunding Portion of the Bonds to and including the
Crossover Date; and (ii) to pay when called for redemption on the Crossover Date, the principal
amount of the Refunded 2001 Bonds. The Escrow Account shall be irrevocably appropriated to
the payment of (i) all interest on the Prior 2001 Refunding Portion of the Bonds to and including
the Crossover Date, and (ii) the principal of the Refunded 2001 Bonds due by reason of their call
for redemption on the Crossover Date. The moneys in the Escrow Account shall be used solely
for the purposes herein set forth and for no other purpose, except that any surplus in the Escrow
Account may be remitted to the City, all in accordance with an agreement (the "Escrow
Agreement") by and between the City and Escrow Agent, a form of which agreement is on file in
the office of the Administrator. Any moneys remitted to the City upon termination of the
Escrow Agreement shall be deposited in the Debt Service Account.
(c) Payment Account. There shall be deposited in the Payment Account
$ of remaining Bond proceeds which shall be used to pay the costs of issuing the
zn6oo~~i 16
Bonds. Any Bond proceeds remaining in the Payment Account after all costs of issuance have
been paid or provided for shall be transferred to the Debt Service Account.
(d) Debt Service Account. To the Debt Service Account there is hereby pledged and
irrevocably appropriated and there shall be credited: (i) the net revenues of the System not
otherwise pledged and applied to the payment of other obligations of the City, in an amount,
together with other funds which may herein or hereafter from time to time be irrevocably
appropriated to the account sufficient to meet the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Section
475.61 for the payment of the principal and interest of the Bonds; (ii) accrued interest received
upon delivery of the Bonds; (iii) any collections of all taxes which may hereafter be levied in the
event the net revenues of the System and other funds herein pledged to the payment of the
principal and interest on the Bonds are insufficient therefor; (iv) any balance remitted to the City
upon the termination of the Escrow Agreement; (v) any balance remaining after the Call Date, in
the Redemption Fund; (vi) any balance remaining after the Crossover Date, in the General
Obligation Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2001 A Fund created by the Prior 2001 Resolution; (vii)
all investment earnings on funds in the Debt Service Account; and (viii) 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 amount of any surplus remaining in the Debt Service Account
when the Bonds are paid shall be used consistent with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61,
Subdivision 4.
The moneys in the Debt Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds or any other bonds hereafter issued and made payable from the Fund. 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 acquire higher
yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are
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 Fund (or any
other City account which will be used to pay principal and interest to become due on the Bonds)
in excess of amounts which under the applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested
without regard as to yield shall not be invested in excess of the applicable yield restrictions
imposed by the arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any
applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage
regulations. In addition, the proceeds of the Bonds and 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 federal Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
17. Sufficiency of Net Revenues; Coverage Test. It is hereby found, determined and
declared that the net revenues of the System are sufficient to pay, together with other sums
pledged to the payment of the Outstanding Bonds, one hundred five percent of the principal of
and interest on the Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds and the net revenues of the System are
hereby pledged on a parity lien with the Outstanding Bonds to the payment of the Bonds, but
solely to the extent required to meet, together with other pledged sums, the principal and interest
requirements of the Bonds. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to preclude the City from
2116001v1 1 7
making further pledges and appropriations of the net revenues of the System for the payment of
other or additional obligations of the City, provided that it has first been determined by the City
Council that the estimated net revenues of the System will be sufficient in addition to all other
sources, for the payment of the Bonds and such additional obligations and any such pledge and
appropriation of the net revenues may be made superior or subordinate to, or on a parity with the
pledge and appropriation herein.
18. Covenant to Maintain Rates and Charges. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes,
Section 444.075, the City hereby covenants and agrees with the Holders of the Bonds that it will
impose and collect charges for the service, use, availability and connection to the System at the
times and in the amounts required to produce net revenues adequate to pay all principal and
interest when due on the Bonds. Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075, Subdivision 2, provides
as follows: "Real estate tax revenues should be used only, and then on a temporary basis, to pay
general or special obligations when the other revenues are insufficient to meet the obligations".
19. Excess Net Revenues. Net revenues in excess of those required for the foregoing
may be used for any proper purpose.
20. Prior Bonds; Security. Until retirement of the Prior Bonds, all provisions
theretofore made for the security thereof shall be observed by the City and all of its officers and
agents.
21. 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 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.
22. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of
and interest on the Bonds as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing
powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Escrow
Account or Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on
the Bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other accounts of
Zi~booi~i 18
the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed without
interest from the Escrow Account or Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available
therein.

Account shall be limited to securities set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67,
Subdivision 8, and any amendments or supplements thereto. Securities purchased from the

Council has investigated the facts and hereby finds and determines that the Escrow Agent is a
suitable financial institution to act as escrow agent.

directed to give mailed notice of redemption prior to the Call Date, to the paying agent for the
Refunded 1998 Bonds, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Refunded

and conditions set forth in the Notice of Call for Redemption, substantially in the form attached
to the Escrow Agreement, which terms and conditions are hereby approved and incorporated
herein by reference.

event of default thereunder by the Escrow Agent.

City, is hereby authorized and directed to purchase on behalf of the City and in its name the
appropriate United States Treasury Securities, State and Local Government Series and/or open

covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to use the Projects originally financed by the
