3. NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution Authorizing the EDA to Exercise the Full Call Option on the 2017A
Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds
Assistant Treasurer/Finance Director Rigdon stated that opportunities to reduce the tax levy have
been discussed previously and explained that this particular idea would pay off the 2017 building
bonds, that were originally issued by the EDA in 2008. He explained that the proposal is to pay
off the bonds by using General Fund Reserves. He stated that if the City takes this action, they
will be able to reduce the annual levy.
Councilmember Gorham asked what this would amount to for levy percentages.
Assistant Treasurer/Finance Director Rigdon stated that it should get the levy down to 5.5% which
began at 8.9%.
Councilmember Gorham explained that his goal was to get the levy as low as possible, so he
feels this is the right thing to do. He stated that he also thinks this is a good idea because he
expects the City will begin seeing material costs increases.

Planning Commissioner Holker gave a brief overview of the discussion and actions taken at the
October 4, 2022 Planning Commission meeting.
B. Variance to Grade in Lake Minnetonka Shore Impact Zone
Applicant: Karen Kinzie
Location: 27190 Edgewood Road
Planning Director Darling explained that this is a request to grade inside the Shore Impact Zone
at 27190 Edgewood Road. She explained that the Shore Impact Zone is the land located between
the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) of a public water and a line at half the structure’s setback
and explained that for Lake Minnetonka this is twenty-five feet from the OHWL. She stated that
the home was built in 1986 by a previous owner and noted that following its construction, staff
received complaints regarding fill that was brought to the site. Staff found that the homeowner
had raised the level of the home so that there was less floodplain on the property and the
ordinance prohibiting grading within the Shore Impact Zone had just been adopted. She noted
that she suspects that the floodplain regulations were also very different at that time than in their
current form. She explained that staff, in conjunction with the DNR, ultimately decided that rather
than pulling all the dirt back out and re-exposing the shoreline, they chose to issue a variance
instead which mean that there were some odd berming and lumps left behind. She explained
that the current applicant would like to provide a more gentle slope towards the lake rather than
having the large mound. She stated that there is very little impact off of the property from this
action, but explained that the City would require more Best Management Practices (BMP) for
grading and site control to ensure that there is not an issue with runoff. She explained that the
applicant was proposing to grade eighteen feet to the OHWL and reiterated that the berms were
constructed by a previous property owner and this is a proposal to remove those artificial
obstructions. She stated that permitting this grading activity within the Shore Impact Zone is
unusual, but staff believes that using the property BMPs will control runoff and prevent discharge
of pollutants. She noted that rather than requiring a double row of silt fence, the Council could
require a double row of bio-logs. She stated that staff and the Planning Commission recommend
approval, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. She noted that there was a
typographical error noted in condition (c) that should state, ‘permanent ground cover shall be
planted…’.
Councilmember Gorham asked if this was unusual because there was a variance to add the
berms and now a variance is also needed to remove the berms. He asked what the berms were
doing with the runoff.
Planning Director Darling stated that it looked as though it was just a place for some of the excess
soil and does not think it was helping the drainage situation in the area. She stated that the way
it was graded, it appears as though it would hug around the pool area and snake out through a
few areas of the backyard.
Kevin Kinzie, 27190 Edgewood Road, stated that he believes the berms were created just as a
way to get rid of the dirt. He stated that water goes to the lake and the rest goes back towards
the house as well as to the neighbors. He stated that they are just trying to correct a wrong and
make it right which should create a flow away from the house and not be an issue for their
neighbor. He stated that it will also create a more flat area so it does not enter the lake at such a
steep level.

Councilmember Gorham asked if the idea was that the vegetation would help slow it down and
the BMPs would help reduce the runoff.
Planning Director Darling explained that the BMPs would help until the vegetation is fully
established.
Councilmember Gorham confirmed that the first variance was done posthumously.
Mayor Labadie stated that she has been to this property and has seen the grading and would
agree with the description given by Planning Director Darling that they were artificial obstructions.
Gorham moved, Callies seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 22-105, “A Resolution
Approving A Variance to Grade Within the Shore Impact Zone for Lake Minnetonka on
Property Located at 27190 Edgewood Road.” All in favor, motion passed.
6. ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
A. Accept Bids and Award Bid for Strawberry Lane Project, City Project 19-05
City Engineer Budde stated that on September 12, 2022, the Council gave staff the authorization
to advertise and open bids for this project which were opened on October 13, 2022. He noted
that the City received a total of eleven bids with the low bid being submitted by Kuechle
Underground out of Kimball. He explained that the construction costs were about three percent
above the engineer’s estimate and brought the total project cost to about $700,000 over the CIP
budget. . He stated that the bidding was competitive, and the construction prices across the
industry have seen inflation of about fifteen percent. He noted that staff had considered ways
that the plans could be modified in order to come in closer to budget but felt did not feel cutting
out any of the scope made much sense, so they are recommending approval, as presented. He
gave a brief overview of a proposed timeline, if this is approved, including tree removal happening
in November. He reminded the Council that the substantially complete date would be September
1, 2023.
Councilmember Callies noted that the Council has discussed this project a lot and she would
agree that she did not feel altering the scope was the right way to go. She stated that it is unlike
that costs will go down and would like to see the City move forward and complete the project on
time.
Councilmember Gorham stated that the bids were all very close and that this was a healthy bid.
He stated that he thinks this also shows the importance of bidding these kinds of projects in the
fall. He noted that it also shows that the City is not immune to the national escalation in material
costs which means if the City tried to cut anything and throw it into the next year, he felt it would
just end up costing the City even more money.
Mayor Labadie stated that she completely agreed with the comments made by her colleagues.
Gorham moved, Labadie seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 22-106, “A Resolution to
Accept Bids and Award Contract for the Strawberry Lane Reconstruction, City Project 19-
05.” All in favor, motion passed.
7. GENERAL/NEW BUSINESS
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 24, 2022
Page 5 of 12
A. 2022A Street Reconstruction and Utility Revenue Financing
Shannon Sweeney, David Drown Associations, gave a brief presentation that highlighted the
process of adopting a ten year CIP which was done in December of 2020. He explained that the
Street Reconstruction Plan authorizes the issuance of public financing to fund specific project
costs that are eligible under that statute. He stated that the City has several projects where they
have now received bids for the 2022 Street Reconstruction Projects including: Strawberry Lane;
Strawberry Court; Peach Circle; the Rehabilitation of Wastewater Lift Stations 7, 9, and 10, and
the 2022 Mill and Overlay. He noted that based on current conditions, he is recommending
negotiated bank placements for the issuance of public debt which is different than what they have
done in the past with a competitive sale and gave a brief overview of the reason for the different
approach. He stated that they are recommending that the City authorize them to work with R.W.
Baird as a bank placement agent in order to solicit multiple proposals.
Councilmember Callies asked if Finance Director Rigdon had also looked through this information
and agreed with the recommendation being made by David Drown Associates.
Finance Director Rigdon stated that he had reviewed it and also felt that it was something that the
City needed to do in order to get the cheapest and best benefit.
Callies moved, Gorham seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 22-107, “A Resolution
Initiating the Sale of a General Obligation Street Reconstruction and Utility Revenue Note
Series 2022A Through Negotiated Bank Placement.” All in favor, motion passed.
B. Accept Communications/Recycling Coordinator Resignation and Approve
Organizational Changes and Advertisement/Recruitment for Position
Interim Administrator Shukle explained that Communications/Recycling Coordinator Julie Moore,
who had served in various roles for the City over the last twenty years, had submitted her letter
of resignation. He stated that upon receiving her letter, staff took a look at the current staffing and
the organizational needs. He stated that staff is proposing to divide up the duties of the
Communications/Recycling Coordinator position and have them be absorbed by the Deputy City
Clerk, the Administrative Assistant, the part-time Administrative Assistant, and by changing some
of the City Clerk/HR Director Thone’s duties to make that position more of what is called an
Administrative Services Director. He gave an overview of the staff who would be absorbing these
duties, explained the proposed change from City Clerk/HR Director to Administrative Services
Director, and the recommendation to add a part-time Administrative Assistant. He noted that
these changes will only have a slight impact on the 2022 budget and have a total impact for 2023
of $11,484. He noted that this change gives the opportunity for current employees to advance
themselves and utilize their skill sets.
Councilmember Callies stated that she can tell a lot of work has gone into this proposal and
explained that she supported the possibility of having internal promotions, however, she had
significant concerns about the timing of these changes and some of the job descriptions. She
stated that she did not think this was the correct time to make these changes and felt it should be
done after the new City Administrator was in place because she thinks it will be important for that
individual to have input. She stated that the packet materials indicated that the current employees
are ready, willing, and able to step into the new positions, which indicated to her, that this has
already been discussed with them. She explained that she feels that this is something that should
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 24, 2022
Page 6 of 12
have come to the Council in advance, perhaps at a work session and not just already being
proposed as to how the City is going to be reorganized. She stated that she feels that this process
has been done backwards and reiterated that the Council should have been involved on the front
end. She noted that she did see some merit in combining some of these positions,but has major
concerns about the Administrative Services position because she feels this job description is for
a City Administrator and felt it was too much authority for this size of a City. She stated that City
Clerk/HR Director Thone has done an excellent job with data practices and some of her other
duties, but she feels this recommendation is going too far because it is essentially an Assistant
City Administrator and looks like a City Administrator. She stated that she felt that the Council
needed to take a step back for a closer look and noted that she felt it was also important to
remember that there were two Councilmembers not in attendance tonight who should be given
the opportunity to weigh in on these changes.
Councilmember Gorham stated that his first issue is with the timing of this change just prior to a
new City Administrator coming on board. He stated that it is a bit hard to tell what
Communications/Recycling Coordinator Moore was doing and how the roles were exported to
other staff members. He asked if this was just her thirty-two hours split as eight hours each to
the four individuals.
Interim City Administrator Shukle stated that Communications/Recycling Coordinator Moore was
currently at forty hours/week and had previously been at thirty-two hours/week.
Councilmember Gorham asked if every employee who had been at thirty-two hours/week is now
at forty hours/week?
City Clerk/HR Director Thone explained that the Communications/Recycling Coordinator position
was the only one that was at thirty-two hours/week until that changed in 2021 when it moved to
forty hours/week. She stated that Michelle Norman is currently at twenty hours/week,but has
been working extra since the City has been down a position at the Community Center and
explained that everyone else is full-time.
Councilmember Gorham stated that there is a lot happening in the staff report and this would be
a huge undertaking. He stated that he did not feel that the Council had received enough
information at this point. He stated that what has been presented seems to fit neatly,but explained
that he did not think the Council had been presented with enough evidence to make the decision
that this is the right way for the City to go. He stated that he agreed with Councilmember Callies
point that this may have been a good topic for a work session discussion.
Mayor Labadie stated that she agreed with all of the comments that have been made and noted
that she had posed a question earlier today about whether the proposed pay grades with the new
tasks are accurate. She stated that she honestly does not know the answer and would be
uncomfortable voting to approve this proposal without more information. She explained that she
felt a decision would be premature, at this point. She stated that there also was not a full Council
present at tonight’s meeting. She stated that she was not implying that this proposal is wrong or
would be a bad decision, but feels that the Council needed more justification, and would like it to
be a full Council decision. She noted that she was well aware that the City was currently short
staffed and that there will be an election soon so she feels the Council owes staff an explanation
and some suggestions to bridge the gap that they are facing right now.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 24, 2022
Page 7 of 12
Councilmember Callies stated that staff is already in place for the elections and did not think that
Communications/Recycling Coordinator Moore was involved in those duties.
Interim City Administrator Shukle stated that Communications/Recycling Coordinator Moore was
assisting with the elections.
Councilmember Callies suggested that the City could hire a temporary person and let them know
that there is a possibility that it may become a permanent position. She asked what the essential
functions that were being done by Communications/Recycling Coordinator Moore that need to be
done right now and asked if the City could advertise for that position.
Councilmember Gorham stated that they could also work ‘out of class’ to make up for what
Communications/Recycling Coordinator Moore has been doing. He stated that they could be
compensated at the other level as long as they are doing these other duties and taking on more
responsibilities.
Councilmember Callies stated that she feels that raises a bigger issue and did not think that the
Council was up to speed in terms of what the City’s hiring practices are or anything about the
tests are that people are asked to perform. She stated that she thinks the Council should be
getting that information and noted that there may be other positions in the City that could use their
title being changed or looked at more closely. She noted that, to her, it looks like this has been
under consideration for some time and not like it was simply put together in a two week time
period.
Mayor Labadie stated that she has no problem rewarding the existing employees, but there has
been discussion at several meetings about the need to review the City’s pay grades and pay
structures at the annual retreat. She stated that it feels like a lot was put in front of the Council
and she reiterated that she would be uncomfortable proceeding forward without, at least, most of
the Council being present.
Councilmember Gorham reiterated that he also felt that it would make a lot of sense to have the
new City Administrator in place before this is considered.
Councilmember Callies suggested that perhaps the City hire the proposed part-time position in
order to give some time for the employees to continue in their current positions.
Interim City Administrator Shukle stated that he felt that would be acceptable. He stated that he
understood the Council’s concerns about this proposal and noted that they had not been expected
to receive Communication/Recycling Coordinator Moore’s resignation. He explained that staff
took a look at what they have in place and what could be done to fill those gaps with what they
already have and by taking advantages of the existing skill sets. He stated that their goal was to
utilize their abilities so the City would not have to miss a step along the way. He stated that with
the job market the way it is and with the difficulty in recruiting to fill positions in both the private
and public sector, they felt that the City already had people that could do this work and this would
also be a way to reward them. He assured the Council that the thought was “not just to simply
slam something down their throats.”
Councilmember Gorham stated that he did not think the Council was trying to say that and noted
that they all think the City staff is great. He noted that they certainly want them to be happy and
be able to grow within the City, but there was a lot of information packed into a four page staff
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 24, 2022
Page 8 of 12
report. He stated that he would like to see more information, for example, their resumes because
what was presented was just too condensed.
Mayor Labadie stated that she agreed but wanted to make sure the Council gave staff some
direction. She stated that she has heard the suggestion of scheduling a work session which she
feels a good idea. She stated that she was not sure that this discussion could wait until the annual
retreat which will not happen until at least January of 2023.
Councilmember Callies stated that the earliest the City would have a new City Administrator is
December, so perhaps discussing this in January, at the retreat, would make the most sense.
Councilmember Gorham noted that he would also like the new City Administrator to be involved
in these work session discussions or at the retreat.
Mayor Labadie asked what direction the Council would like to give regarding the immediate need
for tasks that were being completed by Communications/Recycling Coordinator Moore.
Councilmember Callies stated that she does not think the Council has a good sense of those
tasks.
Mayor Labadie asked City Clerk/HR Director Thone to give the Council a general idea of how
many hours a part-time employee would be needed to bridge the gap while these discussions are
taking place.
City Clerk/HR Director Thone asked if the Council wanted to utilize the current employees to fill
the gaps and then plan to bring someone in to do more of the entry-level type duties or if they
were wanting to see how many hours were being done with communications, recycling, and
events.?
Councilmember Callies stated that the Council needed to know what the main responsibilities are
that need to be filled with this resignation. She noted that the new Park and Recreation Director
will be taking over the communication duties for the Shorewood Community and Event Center.
City Clerk/HR Director Thone walked the Council through some examples based on her job
description and the organization that was included in the packet.
Councilmember Callies stated that she would just like to focus on Communication/Recycling
Coordinator Moore’s duties.
City Clerk/HR Director Thone explained that would be the eight hours of lead communications
and another six to eight hours of social media component along with the newsletter. She stated
that the proposal was for all of those to move to the Administrative Communications Coordinator.
She stated that the recycling duties are about six hours a week which was proposed to go to the
Communications Recycling Coordinator position. She noted that the other duties would be
backing up the front desk and handling events.
Councilmember Callies stated that the Council has not yet decided on the reorganization that City
Clerk/HR Director Thone is describing and explained that they are just trying to fill the gap that
this resignation leaves. She stated that perhaps the best approach would be just hiring for the
position as it is right now and noted that it could be considered a temporary position.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 24, 2022
Page 9 of 12
Mayor Labadie stated that if this is a temporary position, she questioned whether the City still
needed to have someone work forty hours/week. She stated that she feels that the Council is
speculating on a lot of questions that they do not necessarily have the answers to because they
do not know the exact job duties that were being performed by Communications/Recycling
Coordinator Moore. She stated that she likes the concept of putting a temporary person in place
while this is examined more closely.
City Clerk/HR Director Thone noted that Communications/Recycling Coordinator Moore’s current
job description was included in the packet. She stated that if the City advertises and posts for the
existing position, it will not give an opportunity for the current employees to advance in the future,
unless they do put it in place as a temporary position. She noted that the job market right now is
somewhat difficult and she is not sure that the City would have a lot luck filling a temporary position
because it has also been difficult to fill permanent positions. She stated that she felt it was also
easier to fill full-time positions than it is part-time positions.
Mayor Labadie stated that she does not doubt any of the information City Clerk/HR Director Thone
just shared and understands that the current job market is not an easy one.
Councilmember Gorham stated that it appears as though everyone is generally full-time with the
exception of Ms. Norman. He asked if Ms. Norman could just go full-time, on a temporary basis,
in order to buy the City some time to consider this situation and hire the new City Administrator.
City Clerk/HR Director Thone stated that they could certainly asked if Ms. Norman would consider
that option.
Councilmember Callies noted that Ms. Norman had been interested in taking on the Recycling
Coordinator duties.
Councilmember Gorham explained that was what he had meant when he made the statement
earlier about working ‘out of class’ so she would be doing this role until the picture is more clear
and explained that he did not want to lose Ms. Norman.
Councilmember Callies asked if the City could use an intern to put together the newsletter.
Mayor Labadie reiterated that the Council was spending a lot of time speculating. She stated that
she did not oppose offering Ms. Norman more hours and compensating her for that, but was not
sure if that would be enough to replace a forty hour/week employee. She suggested that perhaps
the City could also advertise for a part-time temporary employee.
Councilmember Gorham stated that it is clear that the Council needs a bit more time and reiterated
that he feels this kind of decision should have the involvement of the new City Administrator. He
stated that if Ms. Norman would agree to go full-time for the time being, it would give the Council
time to get to the point where they can have the larger discussion with the new City Administrator.
He stated that he would rather make a slight change until January/February rather than move
forward with the dramatic landscape shift that has been suggested.
Mayor Labadie reiterated that at this point, Council was directing staff to offer more hours to Ms.
Norman and hold off on filling these duties on a permanent basis until the new City Administrator

is in place, when the Council can have a more thorough work session discussion about it,and
when there is a full Council present.
Callies moved, Labadie seconded, Accept Communications/Recycling Coordinator
Moore’s resignation and offer a full-time position to Michelle Norman in order to take on
additional tasks vacated by the Communications/Recycling Coordinator position. All in
favor, motion passed.
C. Interim Administrator Contract Extension (Moved from Consent Agenda item
2G)
City Attorney Shepherd stated that Interim City Administrator Shukle’s term of employment with
the City began on May 2, 2022 and was to go through November 2, 2022. He explained that the
City is still in the process of searching for a new City Administrator, so staff is recommending that
the agreement with Interim City Administrator Shukle be extended to three weeks after the
commencement of employment of a permanent City Administrator.
Councilmember Callies stated that she had pulled this item for discussion because she would like
to bring this back to the meeting on Thursday because she thinks there might then be a better
sense where things are at with the selection of a City Administrator. She stated that November
2, 2022 is coming up quickly, so the Council may still have to do something, but was not sure it
was necessary for there to be three weeks after the permanent City Administrator is hired. She
noted that anyone stepping into this position will be an experienced individual and is not sure that
much of a time period would be necessary and noted that former City Administrator Lerud was
not at the City when Interim City Administrator Shukle came on board. She reiterated that she
was hopeful that the Council will have a better idea of where things stand following their meeting
on Thursday.
Mayor Labadie stated that the meeting for Thursday has already been noticed and this item was
not on that notice and asked if that could still be brought up.
City Attorney Shepherd stated that he would recommend that the Council did not discuss it at the
special meeting because it was intended to be for just that particular topic.
Mayor Labadie suggested that, because of the approaching deadline, that the language be
changed to ‘up to’ three weeks, or, ‘no more than’ three weeks, in the extension agreement.
City Attorney Shepherd stated that if that was the direction from Council, he would recommend it
be ‘until the commencement of employment’ or perhaps a week. He noted that he thinks the City
should have a finite period of time rather than something that is then once again negotiated.
Councilmember Gorham stated that he did not think it seemed like a bad idea to have some
overlap and asked if former City Administrator Lerud had any overlap with Interim City
Administrator Shukle.
Interim City Administrator Shukle stated that they had one day of overlap.
Councilmember Gorham asked if Interim City Administrator Shukle felt that a three-week overlap
was necessary?

Interim City Administrator Shukle stated that he is fine with it,but is open to anything and explained
that he has plans to leave town in late January. He stated that the candidate that the City selects
may be able to come in and hit the ground running, but noted that from his past experience, it is
nice to have someone there during the transition.
Councilmember Gorham stated that he likes the idea of changing the language to ‘up to’ three
weeks and then it can be determined based on the candidate.
City Attorney Shepherd reiterated that could be done, but his goal, with this amendment, was
based on the fact that the City does not know when the new City Administrator will be starting so
by tying it to the commencement of that employment, then the City has some wiggle room.
Councilmember Callies stated that, in her opinion, three weeks feels like a lot of time for there to
be overlap for an experienced person.
Mayor Labadie suggested an amendment to be ‘…shall extend no longer than…’.
City Attorney Shepherd noted that with this change the Council would then be negotiating that
time period at a later date. He suggested that the Council just pick a time period and stick with it,
for example, one week.
The Council came to a consensus that they supported an overlap between the new City
Administrator and the Interim City Administrator of one week.
Labadie moved, Gorham seconded, to Extend the Interim City Administrator Term as
proposed in the First Amendment to the Interim Administrator Agreement, with the
modification of removing ‘three weeks’ and replacing the language with ‘one week’. All in
favor, motion passed.
8. STAFF AND COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Administrator and Staff
City Engineer Budde stated that the Smithtown Pond project will begin moving dirt next week.
Planning Director Darling noted that the City has been experiencing more vandalism at Badger
Park and in one instance they were able to catch three boys that were involved. She stated that
she demanded a written apology from each of them, but has only received one thus far, which
she found concerning. She stated that she and Interim City Administrator Shukle will be
determining what other steps should be taken for the individuals who have not come forward with
a written apology. She stated that she will forward the report and the one letter to the Council.
She stated that there will also be some potential abatements coming before the Council over the
next month or so. She explained that the deer management program was in full swing and noted
that one hunt was completed on October 14-16, 2022 where ten deer were harvested. She noted
that there are two more hunts coming up on October 28-30, 2022 and November 11-13, 2022.

Amendment to Water Tower Space Lease Agreement
Policy Consideration/Policy/ Financial Considerations: The City is renting the space
as the owner of the water tower. This is an annual revenue source for the City of
Shorewood.
Background: AT&T has been leasing space on the City of Shorewood Water Tower
located at 5500 Old Market Road since July 2002. The lease expired this summer and
AT&T, through its representative, MD7, contacted the City of Shorewood about
renewing the lease for another similar period of time. The term of the original
agreement expired on June 30, 2022. AT&T proposed a longer-term agreement
(expiring in June 2042) with a reduction in base rent from $55,000 to $37,500 annually.
AT&T defended their offer by indicating that there have been recent industry
developments changing how wireless telecommunications carriers operate. AT&T
indicated that in the past, carriers focused on rapidly building out their networks in order
to provide the best coverage. They further stated that while consumers are enjoying
greater services and better coverage than ever before, operating costs continue to
escalate. As a result, the wireless industry is also focusing on operating networks as
efficiently as possible.
Staff rejected this proposal arguing that AT&T’s offer is drastically less than the previous
lease terms and does not reflect the marketability of the site. Staff made a counteroffer
with a shorter term (2 five-year terms) with the annual base rent remaining at $55,000.
AT&T has accepted this counteroffer. The renewal terms are spelled out in the
attached “Reinstatement and Ratification of and Second Amendment to Water Tower
Space Lease Agreement.”
Financial Considerations: This is an annual revenue source for the City of Shorewood.
Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public
services, a healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and
sound financial management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership. Page 1

6. Execution. The Bond shall be in typewritten form, shall be executed on behalf of
the City by the facsimile signatures of its Mayor and Interim City Administrator the seal having
been omitted as permitted by law. In the event of disability or resignation or other absence of
either such officer, the Bond may be signed by the signature of that officer who may act on

on the Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the Bond, such signature shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in
office until delivery.
7. Delivery; Application of Proceeds. The Bond 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.
8. Fund and Accounts. There is hereby established a special fund to be designated
"General Obligation Street Reconstruction and Utility Revenue Bond, Series 2022A 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. The Operation and Maintenance Account for the Water
System, the Operation and Maintenance Account for the Sanitary Sewer System and the
Operation and Maintenance for the Storm Sewer System (collectively, the "Operation and
Maintenance Accounts") heretofore established by the City shall continue to be maintained in the
manner heretofore and herein provided by the City. All moneys remaining after paying or
providing for the items set forth in the resolutions establishing the Operation and Maintenance
Accounts shall constitute and are referred to as "net revenues" until the Utility Portion of the
Bond has been paid. In such records there shall be established accounts of the Fund for the
purposes and in the amounts as follows:
(a) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the
proceeds of the sale of the Bond. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all costs
and expenses of making the Project, including the cost of any construction or other 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 Bond may also be used to
the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bond 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. There shall be maintained two separate subaccounts in the
Debt Service Account to be designated the "Street Reconstruction Project Debt Service
Subaccount" and the "Utility Improvements Debt Service Subaccount". There are hereby
irrevocably appropriated and pledged to, and there shall be credited to the separate subaccounts
of the Debt Service Account:
9
75285660v1
(i) Street Reconstruction Project Debt Service Subaccount. To the Street
Reconstruction Project Debt Service Subaccount there shall be credited: (A) all
taxes herein and hereafter levied for the payment of the Street Reconstruction
Portion of the Bond; (B) a pro rata share of all funds remaining in the
Construction Account after completion of the Project and payment of the costs
thereof; (C) all investment earnings on funds held in the Street Reconstruction
Project Debt Service Subaccount; and (D) any and all other moneys which are
properly available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the
Street Reconstruction Project Debt Service Subaccount. The Street
Reconstruction Project Debt Service Subaccount shall be used solely to pay the
principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Street
Reconstruction Portion of the Bond.
(ii) Utility Improvements Debt Service Subaccount. To the Utility Improvements
Debt Service Subaccount there shall be credited: (A) 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 Utility Improvements Debt
Service Subaccount, sufficient to meet the requirements of Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.61 for the payment of the principal and interest of the Utility Portion
of the Bond; (B) any collections of all taxes which may hereafter be levied in the
event that the net revenues of the System and other funds herein pledged to the
payment of the principal and interest on the Utility Portion of the Bond are
insufficient therefore; (C) a pro rata share of all funds remaining in the
Construction Account after completion of the Project and payment of the costs
thereof; (D) all investment earnings on funds held in the Utility Improvements
Debt Service Subaccount; and (E) any and all other moneys which are properly
available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Utility
Improvements Debt Service Subaccount. The Utility Improvements Debt Service
Subaccount shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premium
for redemption of the Utility Portion of the Bond and any other general obligation
bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from said
subaccount as provided by law.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bond 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 Bond was issued and (2) in addition to the above in an
amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Bond or $100,000. To
this effect, any proceeds of the Bond and any sums from time to time held in the Construction
Account, Operation and Maintenance Accounts 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
10
75285660v1
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 Bond to be "federally guaranteed" within the
meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
9. Covenants Relating to the Street Reconstruction Portion of the Bond.
(a) Tax Levy. To provide moneys for payment of the principal and interest on the
Street Reconstruction Portion of the Bond there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property
in the City a direct annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls and collected
with and as part of other general property taxes in the City for the years and in the amounts as
follows:
Years of Tax Levy Years of Tax Collection Amount
See Attached Schedule in Exhibit A
(b) Coverage Test. The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with
other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Street Reconstruction Portion of the Bond,
will produce at least five percent in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal
and interest payments on the Street Reconstruction Portion of the Bond. The tax levies shall be
irrepealable so long as any of the Street Reconstruction Portion of the Bond is outstanding and
unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and
to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3.
10. Covenants Relating to the Utility Portion of the Bond.
(a) Sufficiency of Net Revenues. It is hereby found, determined and declared that the
net revenues of the System are sufficient to pay when due the principal of and interest on the
Utility Portion of the Bond and the Series 2022B Bonds and the Outstanding System Bonds and
a sum at least five percent in excess thereof. The net revenues of the System are hereby pledged
on a parity lien with the Outstanding System Bonds and shall be applied for that purpose, but
solely to the extent required to meet, together with other pledged sums, the principal and interest
requirements of the Utility Portion of the Bond of the Bond.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to preclude the City from 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 Utility Portion of the Bond 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.
(b) Excess Net Revenues. Net revenues in excess of those required for the foregoing
may be used for any proper purpose.
11
75285660v1
(c) Covenant to Maintain Rates and Charges. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes,
Section 444.075, the City hereby covenants and agrees with the Holder of the Bond 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 Utility Portion of the Bond. 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."
11. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal and
interest on the Bond, 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 net revenues of the
System appropriated and pledged to the payment of principal and interest on the Utility Portion
of the Bond, together with other funds irrevocably appropriated to the Utility Improvements
Project Debt Service Subaccount herein established, shall at any time be insufficient to pay such
principal and interest when due, the City covenants and agrees to levy, without limitation as to
rate or amount an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property in the City sufficient to pay such
principal and interest as it becomes due. If the balance in the Debt Service Account is ever
insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bond and any other bonds payable
therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds of the City which are
available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without interest
from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein.
12. Defeasance. When the Bond has been discharged as provided in this paragraph,
all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered owner of the
Bond shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may also discharge its obligations
with respect to principal installments of the Bond which is 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 the 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 at any time discharge its obligations with
respect to the Bond, subject to the provisions 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 the
Bond, 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.
13. 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
12
75285660v1
"reimbursement proceeds" of the Bond, 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 "Project"); and (iii) states the maximum principal amount of debt expected to be
issued by the City for the purpose of financing the Project; provided, however, that no such
Declaration shall necessarily have been made with respect to: (i) "preliminary expenditures" for
the Project, defined in the Reimbursement Regulations to include engineering or architectural,
surveying and soil testing expenses and similar preliminary costs, which in the aggregate do not
exceed twenty percent of the "issue price" of the Bond, 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 Bond.
(b) Each Reimbursement Expenditure is a capital expenditure or a cost of issuance of
the Bond 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 Bond, 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 Project 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.
(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 Bond is issued, shall be treated as made on the day the Bond is 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 Bond stating in
effect that such action will not impair the tax-exempt status of the Bond.
14. Certificate of Registration. A certified copy of this resolution is hereby directed
to be filed in the office of the Director of Property Tax and Public Records of Hennepin County,
together with such other information as the Director of Property Tax and Public Records of
Hennepin County shall require, and to obtain the Director of Property Tax and Public Records of
13
75285660v1
Hennepin County's Certificate that the Bond has been entered in the bond register and the tax
levies required by law have been made.
15. Records and Certificates. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and
directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality of the
issuance of the Bond, certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City relating to the
Bond and to the financial condition and affairs of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates
and information as are required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the
Bond as the same appear from the books and records under their custody and control or as
otherwise known to them, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any
heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein.
16. Negative Covenant as to Use of Bond Proceeds and Project. The City hereby
covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bond or to use the Project, or to cause or permit them to
be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Project, in such a
manner as to cause the Bond to be an "private activity bond" within the meaning of Sections 103
and 141 through 150 of the Code.
17. Tax-Exempt Status of the Bond; Rebate. The City shall comply with
requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross
income under Section 103 of the Code of the interest on the Bond, including without limitation
(i) requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, (ii) limitations on amounts
invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bond, and (iii) the rebate of excess investment
earnings to the United States. The City expects to satisfy the 24-month exemption for gross
proceeds of the Bond as provided in Section 1.148-7(d)(1) of the Regulations. The Mayor and/or
Interim City Administrator and/or Finance Director are hereby authorized and directed to make
such elections as to arbitrage and rebate matters relating to the Bond as they deem necessary,
appropriate or desirable in connection with the Bond, and all such elections shall be, and shall be
deemed and treated as, elections of the City.
18. Designation of Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bond
as a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the

entities whose obligations are treated as issued by the City) during this calendar year 2022 will
not exceed $10,000,000;
14
75285660v1
