G.O. Ca ital Im rovement Bonds, Series 2008A.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:

$9,480,000 General Obligation Capital Improvement Bonds, Series
2008A, Fixing their form and specifications; Directing. their execution

II. BACKGROUND
• On October 28, 2008, the City Council adopted a resolution providing for the sale of
General Obligation Capital Improvement Bonds, Series 2008A, to provide funding for
the construction of a new Police/Fire/City Hall Facility.
• Bids on the G.O. Capital Improvement Bonds are due in the offices of Ehlers &
Associates, Inc. on Monday December 1, 2008. A representative from Ehlers &
Associates, Inc. will be at the City Council meeting to recommend the successful
bidder and review attached documents, and provide information that is absent from
the resolution and available only after the bidding on the certificates has closed.
• Following Ehlers & Associates, Inc. recommendation it would be appropriate for the
City Council to award the bond sale to the qualified buyer and undertake other related
actions as necessary as delineated in the approving resolution. The closing on the
bonds is scheduled for December 23, 2008.
• In order to issue bank-qualified bonds, which generally provide more favorable
interest rates, the sale of the 2008 series of bonds and 2009 series of bonds must be
separated by 15 days. By separating the sales by 15 days, both series of bonds will
be treated as separate bond issues for tax purposes. Therefore, the 2008 series sale
is being brought before Council for approval on December 1, 2008 and the 2009
series, in order to comply with the legal timing requirements, will be brought before
Council at a special City Council meeting on December 17, 2008.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
• The City Council approved the call for-sale of G.O. Capital
Improvement Bonds, Series 2008A at the October 28, 2008 City
Council meeting.
• The new Police/Fire/City Hall Facility is included in the City's 2008
Capital Improvement Budget and 2009-2012 Capital Improvement
Plan. .
• At tt~e June 24, 2008, the City Council approved the five-year Capital
Improvement Budget and Plan prepared in compliance with Minnesota
Statutes 475.521.
• Preliminary approval was also granted to issue capital improvement
bonds for the new Police/Fire/City Hall Facility at the June 24, 2008
City Council meeting.
B. CxrrICAL ISSUES
• The issuance of the G.O. Capital Improvement Bonds is an important
piece of the financing of the new Police/Fire/City Hall Facility.
• In order to meet the legal timing requirements for the sale and
issuance of the 2009A G.O. Capital Improvement Bonds a special City
Council meeting will be necessary on December 17, 2008 at 6:00 p.m.
C. FINANCIAL
• The estimated total cost of the new Police/Fire/City Hall is estimated
to be $22,250,000.
• Funding for the project will be a combination of internal sources and
the issuance of the capital improvement bonds. Sources and uses of
the project are as follows:
• Sources
Bond Proceeds $13,650,000
PERA Pension Refund 7,600,000
Cash on Hand 1,000,000
Total $22,250,000
Uses
Construction Costs $21,650,000

• The total par amount of the bonds to be issued is $14,G30,000. The
Series 2008A Bonds which are being considered for avvard of sale on
November 25, 2008 have a par value of $9,480,000, while the 2009A
Bonds which will be considered for award of sale on December 17,
2008 have a .par value of $4,550,000.
• Net proceeds to be used for the project, after underwriter's discount,
costs of issuance, and capitalized interest will .total $13,650,000 for
both issues.
• The estimated annual tax levy for both bond issues, has been
structured to start at a lower amount in year one and then increase in
years two and .three, and then level off to an average of $1,239,232 in
years four through twenty.
• Accordingly, the estimated annual increases in taxes due to the
issuance of these bonds for a residential property valued at $250,000
will be approximately $48.57 in year one, an additional $25.62 in year
two, and an additional $16.48 in year three for a total increase after
year three of $90.67.
D. LEGAL
• Legal Counsel has been involved in the bond sale transactions as
.bond counsel to the City.
• The sale of the two series of bonds, 2008 and 2009, must be
separated by a minimum of 15 days in order for the two -bonds to be
considered IE;gally separate issues for tax purposes.

Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such
cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has

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 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

specified redemption date, provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the
place of payment at that time.
3.04. Appointment of Initial Re ig attar. The City appoints Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of

City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The
City 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. On or
before each principal or interest due date, without further order of this Council, the City Finance Manager
must transmit to the Registrar monies sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
3.05. Execution. Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction
of the City Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City
Manager, provided that those 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 a 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 Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has
been duly execuuted by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificate's
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 City
Manager 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.

depository is appointed, the City 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.

be at the City Council meeting to recommend the successful bidder and review
attached documents, and provide information that is absent from the resolution
and available only after the bidding on the capital notes has closed.

the City Council to award the bond sale to the qualified buyer and undertake
other related actions as necessary as delineated in the approving resolution.
