B. Report on Offering of Financing for City Hall Facilities
Director Burton stated at the May 12, 2008, City Council work session the City's bond consultant Paul
Donna, Senior Vice President for Northland Securities, Inc., discussed the debt financing options
available for the City Hall Building Remodeling Project. At that time Council directed Mr. Donna to
prepare documents to authorize the City and the Shorewood Economic Development Authority (EDA) to
move forward with the sale of lease revenue bonds by the EDA for the project for anot-to-exceed
amount of $1,400,000. She stated Mr. Donna was present this evening to review the finance plan
summary (prepared by Northland Securities) and the EDA bond resolution authorizing the issuance of the
bonds (prepared by the City's bond attorney).
Mr. Donna explained under the proposed financing structure the EDA would. own the facility (i.e.; the
City Hall building) and it would lease the facility back to the City for its use. The structure is very similar
to the structure in place for the Public Safety Facilities. The EDA will issue the bonds; using the EDA as
the conduit will exempt the debt service payment from the City's levy limit. The amount of the debt will
count against the City's debt limit; the City is well within the range of its debt limit considerations. The
process to issue the bonds includes adopting a resolution this evening authoring the EDA to move
forward with the sale of the bonds; the City will have to adopt a similar resolution. The EDA and City
will have to adopt another resolution specifying the terms of the bonds before the bonds will be issued.
Mr. Donna stated between now and when the actual issuance"of the bonds is approved, the City will be
able to decrease the not-to-exceed amount of $1,400,000 to more accurately reflect the bid amount
accepted to do the renovation. He explained if the City issued bonds for $1,400,000, there would be
approximately $1,337,950 of the funds available for the renovation.
Mr. Donna stated the 20-year debt service schedule included in the finance plan summary was prepared a
few weeks ago. The rates would be a little a~gressiv~ if the bonds were sold today based on the market
rates.
Mr. Donna explained the terms of the bond will include an early prepayment (call) feature which will
allow the City and EDA to prepay the bonds. It is safe to say the call feature would be seven to ten years
out. A credit rating will be applied for on the bonds because it is cost effective to do so. The City's
general obligation (GO) debt is currently rated Aa3 by Moody's Investors Service. Lease obligation
bonds are generally rated one notch lower than the GO rating if the facility being leased is considered an
essential purpose. He expected the lease obligation bonds would be rate at an A1.
Mr. Donna stated the pricing of the bonds will be done to coincide with the last City Council regular
meeting date of July 28, 2008, during which the finalizing resolution will be adopted. A closing date of
mid-August is anticipated.
Mayor Lizee thanked Mr. Donna, Northland Securities and Director Burton for their efforts. She stated
Northland Securities had served the community well when it assisted with the debt financing for the
Public Safety Facilities and the City.
In response to a question from Councilmember Wellens, Mr. Donna clarified the prepayment option
allowed the City and EDA to prepay the bonds starting December 1, 2015 without a prepayment penalty.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Shorewood, Minnesota (the City), operates under the "Optional Plan A" form of government as
defined in the State of Minnesota statutes. Under this plan, the government of the City is directed by a Council
composed of an elected Mayor and four elected Council members. The Council exercises legislative authority
and determines all matters of policy. The Council appoints personnel responsible for the proper administration
of all affairs relating to the City. The City has considered all potential units for which it is financially
accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are
such that exclusion would cause the City's fmancial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has set forth criteria to be considered in determining
fmancial accountability. These criteria include appointing a voting majority of an organization's governing
body, and (1) the ability of the City to impose its will on that organization or (2) the potential for the
organization to provide specific benefits to, or impose specific fmancial burdens on the City. Blended
component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the City's operations and so data
from these units are combined with data of the City. The City has the following component unit:
Blended Component Unit
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) of the City was created pursuant to Minnesota statutes 469.090
through 469.108 to carry out economic and industrial development and redevelopment consistent with policies
established by the Council. It is comprised of the members of the Council and has a December 31 year end.
The EDA activities are blended and reported in the Debt Service and capital projects funds. Separate fmancial
statements are not issued for this component unit.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide fmancial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changes in net
assets) report information on all. of the nonfiduciary activities of the City and its component unit. Governmental
activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment
is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or
segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly
benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2} grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or
segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general
revenues.
Separate fmancial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.
Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in
the fund fmancial statements.

Crossover Refunding
On January 1, 2007 the Economic Development Authority (the EDA) of the City issued $4,130,000 of Public
Safety Fire Facility Lease Revenue Crossover Refunding Bonds, 2007A. The bonds issued will crossover
refund the 2002A and 2003A Public Safety Fire Facility Lease Revenue Bonds. The proceeds of the bonds were
deposited in an escrow account and will be used to pay issuance costs and to purchase government obligations.
The government obligations will bear interest rates that will provide sufficient funds to refund the old bonds.
The 2002A series bonds will be refunded on August 1, 2009 and the 2003A series bonds will be refunded on
August 1, 2010. The escrow account will also provide debt service payments on the new bond until the

removed as liabilities. As a result of the crossover refunding issue, the EDA will save $288,277 in debt service
payments and achieve an economic gain (the present value of the difference between the old and the new debt
service) of $195,442.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
OF THE CITY OF SHOREWOOD,

ATTEST:
Lawrence A. Brown, Acting Executive Director
CITY OF S~IOREWOOD, MINNESOTA
INVESTMENT POLICY
INTRODUCTION
This policy covers all monies and cash balances of the City of Shorewood and includes deposits and
investments of funds deposited in interest bearing accounts. The policy is intended to be broad enough to
allow the Investment Officer to function properly within the parameters of responsibility and authority,
yet specific enough to adequately safeguard the investment assets.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish specific guidelines the City of Shorewood will use in the
investment of City funds. It will be the responsibility of the City Finance Director/Treasurer to invest
City funds in order to attain a market rate of return while preserving and protecting the capital of the
overall portfolio. Investments will be made, based on statutory constraints, in safe, low risk instniments.
SCOPE
The City Finance Director/Treasurer is responsible for the investing of all funds in the custody of the
City, including, but not necessarily limited to, the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service
Funds, Capital Project Funds, Enterprise Funds, and Agency Funds.
PRUDENCE
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent investor", and shall be
applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with
this policy and with MN Statute 118A, and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal
responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided that reasonable
action is taken to control adverse developments and unexpected deviations are reported in a timely
manner.
Page 1
OBJECTIVE
There are three main objectives of all investment activities that are prioritized as follows;
A. Safe - Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Each investment
transaction shall seek to first insure that capital losses are avoided. The
objective will be mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.
Credit Risk is the risk of loss due to failure of the security issuer or backer.
Intef-est Rate Risk is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio
will fail due to changes in general interest rates.
B. Li uidi - The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating
requirements that may be reasonable anticipated. This is accomplished by
structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs
to meet anticipated demands.
C. Yield - The investment portfolio of the City of Shorewood shall be designed to attain
amarket-average rate of return through budgetary and economic cycles, taking
into consideration the city's investment risk constraints, cash flow characteristics
of the portfolio and prudent investment principles.
Subject to requirements of the above objectives, it is the policy of the City of Shorewood to offer
financial institutions and companies within the City of Shorewood the opportunity to bid on investments;
however the City of Shorewood will seek the best investment yields.
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Management responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated from the City Council to the
City Finance Director/Treasurer, and, in the absence of the Finance Director/Treasurer, the City
Administrator (the investment officers). The investment officers shall establish procedures for the
operation of the investment program, consistent with this investment policy. Such procedures shall
include delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. The City Finance
Director/Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of
internal controls designed to prevent losses from fraud and employee error.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Any City Official (elected or appointed) involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal
business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or which could
impair his/her ability to make impartial investment decisions.

In selecting depositories, the credit worthiness of the institutions under consideration shall be examined
by the City Finance Director/Treasurer.
Only approved security broker/dealers selected by creditworthiness shall be utilized (minimum capital
requirement of $10 million dollars and at least five years of operation). These may include "primary"
dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1 (uniform
net capital rule).
BROKER REPRESENTATIONS
Municipalities must obtain from their brokers certain representations regarding future investments.
Minnesota Statutes, Section 118A, Subdivision 6, requires municipalities to provide each broker with
information regarding the municipalities investment restrictions. Before engaging in investment
transactions with the City of Shorewood, the supervising officer at the securities broker/dealer shall
submit a certification annually according to MN Statutes 118A.05. The document will state that the

disclose potential conflicts of interest or risk to public funds that might arise out of business transactions
between the firm and the City of Shorewood. All financial instihitions shall agree to undertake
reasonable efforts to preclude imprudent transactions involving the City's funds.
AUTHORIZED AND SUITABLE INVESTMENTS
Minnesota Statutes, Section 118A, Subdivision 3, lists all permissible investments for municipalities.
This list establishes the maximum investment risk permitted for a Minnesota municipality. Even though
MN Statutes 118A provides for more instruments to be used for investing purposes; the following is a
listing of investments the City will be authorized to invest in:
1. Government Securities: Instniments such as bonds, notes, bills, mortgages and other securities which
are direct obligations of the federal government or its agencies, with the principal fully guaranteed by
the U.S. Government or its agencies.
2. Certificates of Deposit: A negotiable or nonnegotiable instalment issued by commercial banks and
insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
3. Repurchase Agreement: An investment which consists of two simultaneous transactions, where an
investor purchases securities from a bank or dealer. At the same time, the selling bank or dealer
agrees to repurchase the securities at the same price plus interest at some agreed-upon future date.
The security purchased is the collateral protecting the investment.
Page 3
4. Any security which is a General obliGation of any state with taxing powers which is rated "A" or
better by a national bond rating service.
Statewide investment pools, including Minnesota Joint Powers Investment Trust (4M Fund), which
invest in authorized instniments according to MN Statutes 118A.
6. Commercial paper: Short-term unsecured promissory notes with a rating of A-1 (Standard and
Poor's), P-1 (Moody's) or F-1 (Fitch). These must be rated in the highest quality category by at least
two nationally recognized rating agencies and must mature in 270 days or less.
7. Money market mutual fiords which invest in authorized instruments according to MN Statutes 118A.
8. Interest-bearing deposits in authorized depositories must be fully insured or collateralized.
COLLATERALIZATION
Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: Certificates of Deposit (above the FDIC
insurance amount) and Repurchase Agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a
level of security for all funds, the collateralization level will be 110 percent of the market value of
principal and accrued interest. When the pledged collateral consists of notes secured by first mortgages,
the collateral level will be 140% of the market value of the principal and accrued interest. Collateral shall
be deposited in the name of the City of Shorewood, subject to release by the City Finance Director.

comply with all rules adopted pursuant to Minnesota Statute 118A. All custodial agreements shall be in
writing and shall contain a provision that all custodial services are provided in accordance with the laws
of the State of Minnesota.
DIVERSIFICATION
The City will attempt to diversify its investments according to type and maturity. The portfolio, as much
as possible, will contain both short-term and long-term investments. The City will attempt to match its
investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Extended maturities maybe utilized to take
advantage of higher yields; however, no more than 30% of the total investments should extend beyond
five (5) years and in no circumstance should any extend beyond fifteen (15) years. No more than 3% of
unencumbered funds shall be kept in commercial paper. At least 30% of funds shall be kept in liquid
savings accounts (such as the 4M Fund).

Re: Resolution Authorizing the Sale of Bonds to Finance the 2008 City Hall Project
The City Council, acting in their capacity as EDA Commissioners, at their June 23, 2008 meeting, adopted
Resolutions to Pre-Authorize the Sale of Bonds to finance the renovation and construction of the City Ha11
(Resolution #08-001). The resolution provided for Lease Revenue Bonds to be issued in anot-to-exceed
maximum amount of $1.4 million.
Staff and consultants have been preparing for the bond issue with many behind-the scene tasks, including
preparation and review of all bond documents; a conference call with Moody's Investor Services to obtain a
bond rating for the issue; and obtaining estimates for telecommunications and furnishings from vendors.
Staff s recommendation is that the bond issue be sized at $1.25 million plus issuance costs, for a grand total of
$1,310,000. The bond issue was sized based on the following known cost considerations and estimates:
Construction (bid received) $950,000
Telecommunications (estimate) 50,000
Furnishings (estimate) 75,000
Owners Representative (estimate) 60,000
Contingency (10%) 115,000
Costs of Issuance (estimate) 60,000
Total: 1 310 000
The attached finance documents are representative of what the Council can expect to see at Monday's meeting,
after the issue has been priced and finalized. The financing plan calls fora 20-year debt service schedule, with
annual debt service (principal and interest) payments of approximately $100,000. (The debt service payments,
or lease payments, are paid to the EDA from the City's General Fund, either as a special levy, or possibly from
an annual dedicated transfer to the General Fund from the Liquor Fund.) The Lease Agreement documents are
also attached for Council review and will be finalized for the closing.
In terms of process and procedure, the Shorewood EDA Board will be asked to approve EDA documents,
including the Lease Purchase Agreement, and a Ground Lease Agreement, and a Resolution Awarding the
Sale of Bonds. After the EDA transacts its business and the EDA meeting is adjourned, the Shorewood City
Council, at their regular meeting, will be asked to approve similar resolutions for the same documents.
Mr. Paul Donna will be present at the July 28, 2008 meeting to present the final terms of the bonds, answer
questions, and guide the City Council through this process.

not delivered possession of the Site and the Facilities to the Authority in accordance with Section
5.4 hereof and conveyed to the Authority or released its interest in the Site and the Facilities within

taxes, assessments, utility and other charges and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the

Independent Counsel, by nonpayment of any such items the interest of the Authority in the Site or
the Facilities will be materially endangered or the Site, the Facilities or any part thereof will be
subject to loss or forfeiture, in which event the City shall promptly pay such taxes, assessments or
charges or provide the Authority with full security against any loss which may result from
nonpayment, in form satisfactory to the Authority.

[1.07. Mandatory Redemption. To be inserted if Term Bonds are requested by the

Section 2. Registration and Payment.
2.01. Registered Form. The Bonds will be issued only in frilly registered form. The
interest thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal amount thereof, is payable by
check or draft issued by the Registrar described herein.
2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest
payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been paid or
made available for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to
which interest has been paid or made available for payment, in which case the Bond will be
dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first interest
payment date, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of original issue. The interest
on the Bonds is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 2009, to
the registered owners of record thereof as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the
immediately preceding month, whether or not that day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The Authority will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent,
authenticating agent and paying agent (the "Registrar"). The effect of registration and the rights
and duties of the Authority and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a
bond register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds
and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered,
transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed
by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in
form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an
attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the
transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer
after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until that
interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner
for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like
335034v2 A.IP SH230-41 4
aggregate principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the
owner's attonley in writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be
promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the
Authority.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is
satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and
genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no
liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems
improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The Authority and the Registrar may treat the
person in whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of
the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or
on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes and
payments so made to the registered owner or upon the owner's order will be valid and
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the
owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of Bonds, sufficient to reimburse the Registrar
for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the
transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated
or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount,
number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost,
upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection
therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the
Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of
the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or
indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in
which both the Authority and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so
surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such
cancellation must be given to the Authority. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost
Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is
not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption,
notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by
mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the
335034v2 A.IP SH230-41 S
registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration
books kept by the Registrar and by publishing the notice if required by law. Failure to
give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, will
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called
for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided
that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that tune.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Re is~ trar. The Authority appoints Northland Trust
Services, Inc, Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The President and the Acting
Executive Director are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Authority, a contract
with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if
the resulting corporation is a bank or mist company authorized by law to conduct such business,
the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The Authority agrees to pay,
from Additional Lease Payments paid by the City under the Lease, the reasonable and customary
charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The Authority reserves the right to remove
the Registrar upon 30 days' notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which
event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor
Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar.
2.05. Execution Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the
direction of the Acting Executive Director and executed on behalf of the Authority by the
signatures of the President and the Acting Executive Director, provided that all signatures may
be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or
a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such officer before the delivery
of any Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes,
the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution,
a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under
this Resohition unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly
executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of
authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed
certificate of authentication on a Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and
delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have been so prepared, executed and
authenticated, the Authority will deliver the same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase
price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is
not obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
2.06. Temporary Bonds. The Authority may elect to deliver in lieu of printed definitive
Bonds one or more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the form set forth in Section 3
with such changes as may be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a single temporary
bond. Upon the execution and delivery of definitive Bonds the temporary Bonds will be
exchanged therefor and cancelled.

6.02. No Rebate Required. (a) The Authority will comply with requirements necessary
lender the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the
Bonds under Section 103 of the Code, including without limitation requirements relating to
temporary periods for investments, limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the
yield on the Bonds, and the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States, if the
Bonds (together with other obligations reasonably expected to be issued in calendar year 2008)
exceed the small-issuer rebate exception amount of $5,000,000.
(b) For purposes of qualifying for the small issuer exception to the federal arbitrage
rebate requirements, the Authority finds, determines and declares that the aggregate face amount
of all tax-exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the Authority (and all
subordinate entities of the Authority) during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued and
outstanding at one time is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the meaning
of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code.
6.03. Not Private Activity Bonds. The Authority further covenants not to use the
proceeds of the Bonds or to cause or permit them or any of them to be used, in such a manner as
to cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141
through 150 of the Code.
6.04. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obli a~ bons. In order to qualify the Bonds as "qualified
tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the Authority
makes the following factual statements and representations:
(a) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" as defined in Section 141 of the
Code;
(b) the Authority designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations"
for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) which will be issued by the
Authority (and all subordinate entities of the Authority) during calendar year 2008 will
not exceed $10,000,000; and
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the Authority during
calendar year 2008 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
6.04. Procedural Requirements. The Authority will use its best efforts to comply with
any federal procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designations
made by this section.
335034v2 AJP SH230-41 15
Section 7. Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation of Authority.
7.01. DTC. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of a separate single
typewritten or printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section 1.03
hereof. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each Bond will be registered in the registration
books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust
Company, New York, New York, and its successors and assigns ("DTC"). Except as provided in
this Section, all of the outstanding Bonds will be registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
7.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by
the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Authority, the Registrar and
the Paying Agent will have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other
financial institutions from time to time for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository (the
"Participants") or to any other person on behalf of which a Participant holds an interest in the
Bonds, including but not limited to any responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the
accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person (other than a
registered owner of Bonds, as shown by the registration books kept by the Registrar) of any
notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any
Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of Bonds, of any amount with
respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The Authority, the Registrar
and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered
in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the holder and absolute owner of such Bond for
the purpose of payment of principal and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of
registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes. The Paying Agent
will pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to or on the order of the respective
registered owners, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, and all such
payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy and discharge the Authority's obligations
with respect to payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums
so paid. No person other than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown in the registration books
kept by the Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of this
Resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the Authority of a written notice to the effect that DTC
has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the words "Cede & Co.,"
will refer to such new nominee of DTC; and upon receipt of such a notice, the Authority will
promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and the Paying Agent.
7.03. Representation Letter. The Authority has heretofore executed and delivered to
DTC a Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations (the "Representation Letter") which will govern
payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds. Any
Paying Agent or Registrar subsequently appointed by the Authority with respect to the Bonds
will agree to take all action necessary for all representations of the Authority in the
Representation Letter with respect to the Registrar and Paying Agent, respectively, to be
complied with at all times.
335034v2 AJP SH230-41 1
7.04. Transfers Outside Book-Entr~ystem. In the event the Authority, by resolution,
determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial interests in the Bonds
that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the Authority will notify DTC, whereupon DTC will
notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event the
Authority will issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC and any other
registered owners in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. DTC may determine to
discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the
Authority and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such
event, if no successor securities depository is appointed, the Authority will issue and the
Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in accordance with this Resolution and the
provisions hereof will apply to the transfer, exchange and method of payment thereof.
7.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution
to the contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
payments with respect to principal of and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the
Bonds will be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in DTC's Operational
Arrangements, as set forth in the Representation Letter.
Section 8. Continuing Disclosure.
8.01. Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it
will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resohtion, failure of the City to comply with the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate is not to be considered an event of default with respect to the
Bonds; however, any Bondholder may take such actions as inay be necessary and appropriate,
including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply
with its obligations under this Section.
8.02. Execution of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. "Continuing Disclosure
Certificate" means that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate, executed by the Mayor and the
Acting City Administrator of the City and dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds,
as originally executed and as it maybe amended from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof.
Section 9. Defeasance. When all Bonds and all interest thereon have been
discharged as provided in this Section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this
Resolution to the holders of the Bonds will cease. The City may discharge all Bonds which are
due on any date by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof in frill. If any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be
discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in fiill with
interest accrued to the date of such deposit.
