Amounts drawn from the Debt Service Fund or any special account therein may be repaid with or without interest when moneys sufficient for such repayment are deposited in the special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund.

Assessments: Coverage Test. The City Council has heretofore determined, and does hereby determine, to proceed with the Improvements and special assessments with respect thereto 1134860.2 34 00 -� 4S 1 2 G� 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 under the provisions of the Charter of the City, rather than the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. It is hereby determined that no less than twenty perCent (200} of the cost to the City of each Improvement financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special assessments to be levied against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land benefitted by the Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all construction contracts not heretofore let within one year after ordering each Improvement financed hereunfler unless the resolution ordering the Improvement specifies a different time limit for the letting of construction contracts and will do and perfoxzn, as soon as they may be done, all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity, in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or this Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the performanCe of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this Council will forthwith do all further acts and take a11 further proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. The special assessments have not heretofore been authorized, and accordingly, for purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 3, the special assessments are hereby authorized. Subject to such adjustments as are required by conditions in existence at the time the assessments are levied, the assessments are hereby authorized and it is hereby determined that the assessments shall be payable in equal, consecutive, annual installments, with general taxes for the years shown below and with interest on the declining balance of all such assessments at a rate per annum approximately one percent (1%) per annum in excess of the net effective rate of interest on the Bonds: 37 Improvement 38 Designation Collection Amount Lew Years Years 39 Western/Lawson $1,075,000 2000-2019 2001-2020 40 Seventh/Eleanor 320,000 for all for all 41 Prior/Jefferson 1,020,000 42 Charles{Chatsworth 535.000 43 44 TOTAL $2,950,000 45 The special assessments shall be 5uch that if collected 46 in full they, together with estimated collections of other 1134860.2 3 5 oe_,ys 1 revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will 2 produce at least five percent (So) in excess of the amount needed 3 to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds 4 in every year except the final year (2012). At the time the 5 assessments are in fact levied the City Council shall, based on 6 the then-current estimated collections of the assessments, make 7 any adjustments in any ad valorem t�es required to be levied in 8 order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with 9 Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 19. Limit on Special Assessments Pledqed. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares that the payment of the Bonds does not require the pledge of all the special assessments which may be levied with respect to the Improvements identified in paragraph 18, and that it is necessary, proper and expedient to provide that payments and prepayments of special assessments in excess of the debt service requirements of the Bonds be put to use for other purposes sooner than upon the termination of Che Debt Service Fund. Only $2,950,000 original principal amount of the special assessments (which amount is the "Pledged Assessments"), and interest thereon, recognized in paragraph 18 of this Resolution (of which $577,285 are necessary prior to their scheduled receipt in order to pay debt service on the Bonds on March 1, 2001) are or shall be pledged to the payment of the Bonds, and payments of, or with respect to, such special assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments shall be credited instead to a special account in the Capital Fund, and used for the purpose of paying any additional costs of the Improvements and the costs of oCher improvements approved by the City, as follows: (a) the first $577,285 of all prepayments of special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, (b) thereafter until such time as the special assessments from time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the Pledged Assessments or 1ess, prepayments of any of the special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be treated as prepayments of the portion of the special assessments not pledged to the Bonds and shall be credited instead to said special account of the Capital Eund, and used as provided above, and (c) while the special assessments £rom time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the Pledged Assessments or more, regular installment payments made on the Pledged Assessments only (not all of the special assessments) shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, and regular installment payments on that portion, if any, of the remaining assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments sha11 be credited to said special account of the CapiCal Fund, and used as provided above. 47 20.

The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent pennitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 21. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal 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 special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund (as defined in paragraph 17 hereof) 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 funds of the City which are available for such purpose, including the general fund of the City and the Debt Service Fund and the special accounts therein, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without interest from the special account in the Debt Service �'und relating to the Bonds when a sufficient balance is available therein. 37 22.

Amounts drawn from the Debt Service Fund or any special account therein may be repaid with or without interest when moneys sufficient for such repayment are deposited in the special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund.

In addition, the proceeds of the Bonds and money in the Capital Fund or in such special account in the Debt Service 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"). 18. Assessments: Coverage Test. The City Council has heretofore determined, and does hereby determine, to proceed with the Improvements and special assessments with respect thereto 1134860.2 34 00 -� 4S 1 2 G� 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 under the provisions of the Charter of the City, rather than the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. It is hereby determined that no less than twenty perCent (200} of the cost to the City of each Improvement financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special assessments to be levied against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land benefitted by the Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all construction contracts not heretofore let within one year after ordering each Improvement financed hereunfler unless the resolution ordering the Improvement specifies a different time limit for the letting of construction contracts and will do and perfoxzn, as soon as they may be done, all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity, in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or this Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the performanCe of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this Council will forthwith do all further acts and take a11 further proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. The special assessments have not heretofore been authorized, and accordingly, for purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 3, the special assessments are hereby authorized. Subject to such adjustments as are required by conditions in existence at the time the assessments are levied, the assessments are hereby authorized and it is hereby determined that the assessments shall be payable in equal, consecutive, annual installments, with general taxes for the years shown below and with interest on the declining balance of all such assessments at a rate per annum approximately one percent (1%) per annum in excess of the net effective rate of interest on the Bonds: 37 Improvement 38 Designation Collection Amount Lew Years Years 39 Western/Lawson $1,075,000 2000-2019 2001-2020 40 Seventh/Eleanor 320,000 for all for all 41 Prior/Jefferson 1,020,000 42 Charles{Chatsworth 535.000 43 44 TOTAL $2,950,000 45 The special assessments shall be 5uch that if collected 46 in full they, together with estimated collections of other 1134860.2 3 5 oe_,ys 1 revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will 2 produce at least five percent (So) in excess of the amount needed 3 to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds 4 in every year except the final year (2012). At the time the 5 assessments are in fact levied the City Council shall, based on 6 the then-current estimated collections of the assessments, make 7 any adjustments in any ad valorem t�es required to be levied in 8 order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with 9 Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 19. Limit on Special Assessments Pledqed. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares that the payment of the Bonds does not require the pledge of all the special assessments which may be levied with respect to the Improvements identified in paragraph 18, and that it is necessary, proper and expedient to provide that payments and prepayments of special assessments in excess of the debt service requirements of the Bonds be put to use for other purposes sooner than upon the termination of Che Debt Service Fund. Only $2,950,000 original principal amount of the special assessments (which amount is the "Pledged Assessments"), and interest thereon, recognized in paragraph 18 of this Resolution (of which $577,285 are necessary prior to their scheduled receipt in order to pay debt service on the Bonds on March 1, 2001) are or shall be pledged to the payment of the Bonds, and payments of, or with respect to, such special assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments shall be credited instead to a special account in the Capital Fund, and used for the purpose of paying any additional costs of the Improvements and the costs of oCher improvements approved by the City, as follows: (a) the first $577,285 of all prepayments of special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, (b) thereafter until such time as the special assessments from time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the Pledged Assessments or 1ess, prepayments of any of the special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be treated as prepayments of the portion of the special assessments not pledged to the Bonds and shall be credited instead to said special account of the Capital Eund, and used as provided above, and (c) while the special assessments £rom time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the Pledged Assessments or more, regular installment payments made on the Pledged Assessments only (not all of the special assessments) shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, and regular installment payments on that portion, if any, of the remaining assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments sha11 be credited to said special account of the CapiCal Fund, and used as provided above. 47 20.

The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent pennitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 21. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal 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 special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund (as defined in paragraph 17 hereof) 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 funds of the City which are available for such purpose, including the general fund of the City and the Debt Service Fund and the special accounts therein, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without interest from the special account in the Debt Service �'und relating to the Bonds when a sufficient balance is available therein. 37 22.

The City reasonably expects that no actions will be taken over the term of the Bonds that would cause them to be private activity bonds, and the average term of the Bonds is not longer than reasonably necessary for the governmental purpose of the issue. The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be °hedge bonds" within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code. 28 25.

If moneys in the special account of the Debt Service Fund should ever be insufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds, the Bonds shall be paid from the Debt Service Fund or any other special account therein, and the Bonds are hereby made payable from the Debt Service Fund and any other special accounts therein for this purpose. Amounts drawn from the Debt Service Fund or any special account therein may be repaid with or without interest when moneys sufficient for such repayment are deposited in the special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund. The special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund sha11 be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable froin such special account in the Debt Service Fund as provided by law, or to pay any rebate due to the United States. 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 il) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued, and (2) in addition ta the above in an amount not greater than five percent (So) of the proceeds of the Bonds.

In addition, the proceeds of the Bonds and money in the Capital Fund or in such special account in the Debt Service 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"). 18. Assessments: Coverage Test. The City Council has heretofore determined, and does hereby determine, to proceed with the Improvements and special assessments with respect thereto 1134860.2 34 00 -� 4S 1 2 G� 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 under the provisions of the Charter of the City, rather than the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. It is hereby determined that no less than twenty perCent (200} of the cost to the City of each Improvement financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special assessments to be levied against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land benefitted by the Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all construction contracts not heretofore let within one year after ordering each Improvement financed hereunfler unless the resolution ordering the Improvement specifies a different time limit for the letting of construction contracts and will do and perfoxzn, as soon as they may be done, all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity, in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or this Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the performanCe of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this Council will forthwith do all further acts and take a11 further proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. The special assessments have not heretofore been authorized, and accordingly, for purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 3, the special assessments are hereby authorized. Subject to such adjustments as are required by conditions in existence at the time the assessments are levied, the assessments are hereby authorized and it is hereby determined that the assessments shall be payable in equal, consecutive, annual installments, with general taxes for the years shown below and with interest on the declining balance of all such assessments at a rate per annum approximately one percent (1%) per annum in excess of the net effective rate of interest on the Bonds: 37 Improvement 38 Designation Collection Amount Lew Years Years 39 Western/Lawson $1,075,000 2000-2019 2001-2020 40 Seventh/Eleanor 320,000 for all for all 41 Prior/Jefferson 1,020,000 42 Charles{Chatsworth 535.000 43 44 TOTAL $2,950,000 45 The special assessments shall be 5uch that if collected 46 in full they, together with estimated collections of other 1134860.2 3 5 oe_,ys 1 revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will 2 produce at least five percent (So) in excess of the amount needed 3 to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds 4 in every year except the final year (2012). At the time the 5 assessments are in fact levied the City Council shall, based on 6 the then-current estimated collections of the assessments, make 7 any adjustments in any ad valorem t�es required to be levied in 8 order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with 9 Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 19. Limit on Special Assessments Pledqed. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares that the payment of the Bonds does not require the pledge of all the special assessments which may be levied with respect to the Improvements identified in paragraph 18, and that it is necessary, proper and expedient to provide that payments and prepayments of special assessments in excess of the debt service requirements of the Bonds be put to use for other purposes sooner than upon the termination of Che Debt Service Fund. Only $2,950,000 original principal amount of the special assessments (which amount is the "Pledged Assessments"), and interest thereon, recognized in paragraph 18 of this Resolution (of which $577,285 are necessary prior to their scheduled receipt in order to pay debt service on the Bonds on March 1, 2001) are or shall be pledged to the payment of the Bonds, and payments of, or with respect to, such special assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments shall be credited instead to a special account in the Capital Fund, and used for the purpose of paying any additional costs of the Improvements and the costs of oCher improvements approved by the City, as follows: (a) the first $577,285 of all prepayments of special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, (b) thereafter until such time as the special assessments from time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the Pledged Assessments or 1ess, prepayments of any of the special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be treated as prepayments of the portion of the special assessments not pledged to the Bonds and shall be credited instead to said special account of the Capital Eund, and used as provided above, and (c) while the special assessments £rom time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the Pledged Assessments or more, regular installment payments made on the Pledged Assessments only (not all of the special assessments) shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, and regular installment payments on that portion, if any, of the remaining assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments sha11 be credited to said special account of the CapiCal Fund, and used as provided above. 47 20. Tax Levy; Coveraqe Test. If taxes are levied as 48 provided in the final part of paragraph 18, the tax levies shall 49 be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and 1134860.2 � 0 0 -►y5 1 unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to 2 reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by 3 Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 4 To provide moneys for payment of Che principal and 5 interest on the Bonds due to be paid in 2012 there is hereby 6 levied upon all of the taxable property in the City a direct 7 annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls 8 and collected with and as part of other general property taxes in 9 the City for the years and in the amounts as follows: 10 Year of Tax Year of Tax 11 Levy Collection Amount 12 ZO10 2011 �1,249,327 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with estimated collections of special assessments and other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent (50) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent pennitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 21. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal 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 special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund (as defined in paragraph 17 hereof) 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 funds of the City which are available for such purpose, including the general fund of the City and the Debt Service Fund and the special accounts therein, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without interest from the special account in the Debt Service �'und relating to the Bonds when a sufficient balance is available therein. 37 22. Certificate of Reqistration. The Director, Office 38 of Financial Services, is hereby directed to file a certified 39 copy of this Resolution with the officer of Ramsey County, 40 Minnesota, performing the functions of the county auditor (the 41 "County Auditor"), together with such other information as the 42 County Auditor shall require, and to obtain the County Auditor's 43 certificate that the Bonds have been entered in the County 44 Auditor's Sond Register, and that the tax levy required by law 45 has been made. 1134860.2 3 7 00 -�yS � 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 23.

Negative Covenants as to Use of Proceed and Improvements. The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to use the Improvements, or to cause or permit them to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Improvements, 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. The City reasonably expects that no actions will be taken over the term of the Bonds that would cause them to be private activity bonds, and the average term of the Bonds is not longer than reasonably necessary for the governmental purpose of the issue.
