Richfield, Minnesota
Emergency Council Meeting
March 18, 2020
Council Meeting Minutes -2-March 18, 2020
City Manager Rodriguez explained how the resolution would allow for more flexibility and
authority on spending. She provided examples of granting Finance Director Regis more authority on
purchases up to $5,000, signing documents electronically, and approving invoices electronically.
City Attorney Tietjen elaborated on the flexibility of the spending during a local emergency.
The process allows for a streamlined procedure in purchasing necessary equipment and
supplies. Staff is trying to cover the City in a whole gamut of things such as FEMA reimbursement and
mutual aid.
M/Supple, S/Whalen to approve the resolution enacted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
Section 12.29 extending the period of a Mayor-declared local emergency.
Council Member Supple thanked all staff involved for the long hours.
Council Member Trautmann echoed thanks and wanted to recognize the quick response staff
has provided. He also expressed gratitude to public safety and firefighters for being on the frontlines.
He then suggested an amendment to the resolution regarding a failsafe method in revisiting the item
in six months.
City Attorney Tietjen recommended moving forward and voting with the motion on the table
and then Council Member Trautmann would move for a separate motion to place this item on an
agenda in six months.
Motion carried 4-0.
M/Trautmann, S/Supple to place the resolution enacted pursuant to Minnesota Statues
Section 12.29 extending the period of a Mayor-declared local emergency on an agenda in six months
to revisit.
Council Member Whalen expressed his confusion on why this motion has been made and why
there is a need for the amendment. He is comfortable the way things are expected to proceed and
asked Council Member Trautmann for some clarification.
Council Member Trautmann explained it has nothing to do with the character of the City
Manager or staff but more of a structural piece for residents to create some certainty.
City Attorney Tietjen clarified there is no harm in passing the motion with the amendment and
the resolution will be in effect until the Council takes further action to end it. Having a plan to discuss it
in the future has no effect on anything.
City Manager Rodriguez spoke of the weekly check-ins she will have with Mayor Regan
Gonzalez to reassess the situation.
Council Member Supple believed it would be a structural piece to have in place and creates
good practice.
Motion carried 4-0
Item #3 CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
City Manager Rodriguez asked Chief Henthorne to provide an update on the recent impacts of
the pandemic.
Council Meeting Minutes -3- March 18, 2020
Chief Henthorne explained how everyone is in uncharted territory but emergency pandemic
plan is place and being treated as a public health emergency. It involves services they need to
extend, suspend or put into place while providing the best services possible during this critical time.
They are responding quickly and efficiently to Governor Walz’s executive decisions as soon as they
are announced. Public Safety is also on daily conference calls to communicate vital information and
build surplus of vital resources to help all communities. All departments within the City are working
collaboratively to help resolve the emergency and mitigate the crisis that is affecting our nation, our
state and our city. An Informational letter will be going out tomorrow regarding the vulnerable
population.
Public Safety Health Administrator Anderson discussed how this will be a long term event and
could last 12-18 months. She spoke of how the numbers and statistics are changing rapidly. The City
is in a partnership with Bloomington Public Health and has been leaning on them for support. She
went on to share they are responding to questions from residents with information provided by the
Minnesota Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control.
City Manager Rodriguez expressed gratitude to Bloomington Public Health and also being
able to work with the City of Edina. She explained how the City is reassessing situations daily to keep
providing services while practicing social distancing. All departments have been asked to create
schedules for staff to maintain social distancing and this includes working from home and staggered
hours. She has also asked Finance Director Regis to pull together numbers regarding financial impact
due to recreation programs being cancelled, passport processing suspended and allowing only for tab
renewal by drop box. As of right now, the City has sufficient reserves but departments have been
asked to cut down on spending and re-think projects. City Manager Rodriguez voiced her appreciation
for department directors and staff for their flexibility as well as the Council in their support and efforts.
Council Member Whalen spoke of his appreciation and asked for reiteration of where residents
can find information.
Public Safety Health Administrator Anderson stressed how important it is for residents to stay
home, wash your hands regularly, sneeze into your elbow or use a tissue, and to stay home when you
are feeling ill. She spoke of how it is equally important to check on your neighbors and to get outside
when possible for fresh air and exercise. All this information is available on the Richfield website along
with a phone number to a staff member in case services are needed.
Mayor Regan Gonzalez thanked all the staff for their exceptional work around the clock and
their creativity to keep crucial services available, community outreach, department heads for their
resourcefulness to reduce spending, and public safety for helping keep residents safe. She expressed
gratitude for Bloomington Public Health and the partnership that the City has with Bloomington and
Edina. She also spoke of the physical bilingual communications going out via Block Captains so
communications are not only on social media. Mayor Regan Gonzalez also thanked all the frontline
workers including fire, public safety and healthcare. She referenced how the community is coming
together to support one another. She also reminded residents to take care of themselves.

Adoption of a parameters resolution with regard to the issuance of the $5,375,000 G.O. Bonds Series
2020A establishing a pricing committee.
E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY:
At the March 10, 2020 City Council meeting, the Council approved a resolution providing for the sale of the
$5,375,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2020A. However, with the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic
worldwide, the financial markets have fluctuated dramatically since the March 10, 2020 City Council meeting.
Accordingly, the interest cost for the issuance of the bonds has also fluctuated, potentially increasing the cost
of the bonds from the March 10, 2020 levels. The purpose of a parameters resolution is to provide flexibility
for the sale of the Series 2020A Bonds. This includes establishing parameters on what the City Council will
approve with the fluctuating market conditions as well as the ability to move the sale date if the market
conditions do not look favorable on the anticipated sale date of April 28.
Therefore, staff is requesting the City Council to approve the attached resolution that establishes a Pricing
Committee with respect to the 2020A bonds that will comprise the Mayor, City Manager, Finance Director,
and representatives from the City's Municipal Advisor.
W ith City Council approval, the Pricing Committee would be authorized and directed, with the advice of the
City’s Municipal Advisor, to review proposals for the sale of the Bonds based on the following parameters:
(i) the principal amount of the Bonds shall not exceed $5,375,000;
(ii) the true interest cost of the Bonds shall not exceed 3.0%;
The parameters resolution does not include any parameters with regard to the refunding portion of the bond
issue. This is due to staff reserving the right to remove that portion from the issue prior to the sale if rates
fluctuate and the savings on the refunding become unfavorable at the current time.
I f the proposals received are within the established parameters, the Pricing Committee is authorized and
directed to select the best proposal and award the sale to the respective bidder.
The proposed date for the Pricing Committee to award the sale of the Series 2020A bonds is April 28, 2020.
However, the Pricing Committee with the assistance of the City’s Municipal Advisor, have the ability to change
the sale date if market conditions do not appear to be favorable on April 28.
At the April 28, 2020 City Council meeting, or the meeting following the sale of the Series 2020A Bonds, a
presentation will be made by staff and the City’s Municipal Advisor Ehlers and Associates of the sale results.
RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N:
By Motion: Approve a Resolution Authorizing the Sale of General Obligation Bonds Series 2020A, in
the Maximum Principal Amount of $5,375,000; Fixing Their Form and Specifications; Directing Their
Execution and Delivery; Providing for the Payment; and Establishing a Pricing Committee.
B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N:
A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T
The Series 2020A bonds will accomplish the following:
Provide the second phase of funding for the Lyndale Avenue reconstruction project with a
$3,120,000 par bond. Debt service for this portion of the bond issue will be provided by an estimated
annual debt service tax levy of $201,511. The estimated increase in taxes for a residential property
valued at $225,000 is $12.42.
Provide funding for the 65th Street W ater Main lining in preparation for future reconstruction of
65th Street with a $1,235,000 par bond. Debt service for this portion of the bond issue will be provided
by water revenues.

refunding of the Series 2011A bonds with the Series 2020A refunding will provide estimated interest
savings of $132,260 over the remaining life of the bonds. The estimated savings is based on the levels in
the March 10, 2020 Presale report. Debt service on the new bond will continue to be water revenues.
B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc):
The Ly ndale Avenue project is part of the 5-Year Street Reconstruction Plan approved by the City
Council on November 12, 2019.
The 65th Street Reconstruction project, of whic h the lining of the 65th water main is part of, is part of the
5-Year Street Reconstruction Plan approved by the City Council on November 12, 2019.
C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S:
Final construction items for the Lyndale Avenue project will be completed as soon as weather permits.
Therefore, it is important to have the final financing in place.
Planned construction for the 65th Street Water Main lining is planned for the spring of 2020.
The sale of the refunding bonds at this time will allow the City to take advantage of the low interest rates
and realize interest savings.

The estimated total cost of the Lyndale Avenue project is $13,020,050.
Funding for the project is to be provided by general obligation bonds, Municipal State Aid funds and

report.
The savings expressed in net present value benefit of the refunding is estimated to be $117,888, equal to
11.908% of the refunded principal.

such maturity to be redeemed. Prepayments will be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
1.10.Mandatory Redemption; Term Bonds. The Bonds may be subject to mandatory sinking
fund redemption if so requested by the Purchaser and approved by the Pricing Committee.
Section 2.Registration and Payment.
2.01.Registered Form. The Bonds will be issued only in fully 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 February 1 and August 1 of each year,
commencing February 1, 2021, 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 such day is a business day.
2.03.Registration. The City 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 City 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.
5
(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 aggregate
principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney 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 City.
(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 City 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 a 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 any 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 an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as
provided by law, in which both the City 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 City. 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 registered owner of each Bond to be
6
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 time.
2.04.Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services Corporation,
Roseville, 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 the
Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law
to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The 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 thirty (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 the City Council, the Finance Director
must transmit to the Registrar moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
2.05.Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction of
the Finance Director 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 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 Finance Director 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.
Section 3.Form of Bond.
3.01.Execution of the Bonds. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form
set forth in EXHIBIT B attached hereto.
3.02.Approving Legal Opinion. The City Manager is authorized and directed to obtain a copy
of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and
cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany each Bond.

(b)Water Improvements Account. The City will continue to maintain and operate its
Water Fund, to which will be credited all gross revenues of the water system, and out of which will
be paid all normal and reasonable expenses of current operations of such system. Any balances
therein are deemed net revenues (the “Net Revenues”) and will be transferred, from time to time, to
the Water Improvements Account of the Debt Service Fund, which Water Improvements Account
will be used only to pay principal of and interest on the Water Revenue Bonds, the Refunding
Bonds (if approved by the Pricing Committee), and any other bonds similarly authorized. There
will always be retained in the Water Improvements Account a sufficient amount to pay principal
of and interest on the Water Revenue Bonds, and the Finance Director must report any current or
anticipated deficiency in the Water Improvements Account to the City Council.There is also
appropriated to the Water Improvements Account a pro rata portion of (i) capitalized interest
financed from Bond proceeds, if any; and (ii) amounts over the minimum purchase price of the

deposited in the Street Reconstruction Account of the Construction Fund to be used solely to defray
expenses of the Street Reconstruction and the payment of principal and interest on the Street
Reconstruction Bonds prior to the completion and payment of all costs of the Street Reconstruction.
When the Street Reconstruction is completed and the cost thereof paid, the Street Reconstruction
Account of the Construction Fund is to be closed and any funds remaining may be deposited in the
Street Reconstruction Account of the Debt Service Fund.
(b)Water Improvements Account. Proceeds of the Water Revenue Bonds, less the
appropriations made in Section 4.01(b) hereof with respect to the Water Revenue Bonds, will be
deposited in the Water Improvements Account of the Construction Fund to be used solely to defray

thereof paid, the Water Improvements Account of the Construction Fund is to be closed and any
funds remaining may be deposited in the Water Improvements Account of the Debt Service Fund.
4.03.Redemption Fund. If the Pricing Committee determines to proceed with the issuance of the
Refunding Bonds to refund the Refunded Bonds, all proceeds of the Refunding Bonds, less the costs of
8
issuance of the Refunding Bonds, will be deposited in a separate fund (the “Redemption Fund”) to be used
solely to redeem and prepay the outstanding Refunded Bonds on the date selected for redemption by the
Pricing Committee (the “Redemption Date”). Any balance remaining in the Redemption Fund after the

redemption of the Refunded Bonds, and all moneys therein shall hereby be transferred to the Water
Improvements Account within the Debt Service Fund herein created.

and agrees with the holders of the Water Revenue Bonds that so long as any of the Water Revenue Bonds
remain outstanding and unpaid, it will keep and enforce the following covenants and agreements:
(a)The City will continue to maintain and efficiently operate the water system as a
public utility and convenience free from competition of other like municipal utilities and will
cause all revenues therefrom to be deposited in a bank account and credited to the Water Fund,
as hereinabove provided, and will make no expenditures from that account except for a duly
authorized purpose and in accordance with this resolution.
(b)The City will also maintain the Water Improvements Account of the Debt

made by the Prior Resolution relating to the ownership, protection of, and other particulars governing the
operation and financial management of the water system of the City and the Prior Water Improvements
are restated and confirmed in all respects. The provisions of the Prior Resolution are hereby
supplemented to the extent necessary to give full effect to the provisions hereof.
4.07.General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest
on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing powers of the City will
be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Debt Service Fund is ever insufficient to pay all
principal and interest then due on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency will be
promptly paid out of monies in the general fund of the City which are available for such purpose, and such
general fund may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Debt Service Fund when a sufficient
balance is available therein.
4.08.Pledge of Tax Levy.For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Street
Reconstruction Bonds, there is levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax upon all of the taxable
property in the City, which will be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other
general taxes of the City. The Taxes will be credited to the Street Reconstruction Account of the Debt
Service Fund above provided and will be in the years and amounts as established by the Pricing
Committee in the Pricing Committee Certificate.
4.09.Certification to Taxpayer Services Division Manager as to Debt Service Fund Amount.
It is hereby determined that the estimated collections of Taxes and Net Revenues will produce at least
five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments
on the Bonds. The tax levy herein provided is irrepealable until all of the Bonds are paid, provided that
at the time the City makes its annual tax levies the Finance Director may certify to the Taxpayer Services
Division Manager of Hennepin County, Minnesota (the “Taxpayer Services Division Manager”) the
amount available in the Debt Service Fund to pay principal and interest due during the ensuing year, and
the Taxpayer Services Division Manager will thereupon reduce the levy collectible during such year by
the amount so certified.
4.10.Registration of Resolution. The City Manager is authorized and directed to file a certified
copy of this resolution, including the executed Pricing Committee Certificate, with the Taxpayer Services
Division Manager and to obtain the certificate required by Section 475.63 of the Act.

determines to proceed with the issuance of the Refunding Bonds to refund the Refunded Bonds, the

5.01.Purpose of Refunding. The outstanding Refunded Bonds will be called for redemption
on the Redemption Date in the principal amount of $990,000. It is hereby found and determined that
10
based upon information presently available from Ehlers and Associates, Inc., the issuance of the Bonds, a

made with the holders of the Refunded Bonds.
5.02.Application of Proceeds of Refunding Bonds. It is hereby found and determined that the
proceeds of the Refunding Bonds will be deposited in the Redemption Fund, along with any other funds
on hand in the debt service funds established pursuant to the Prior Resolution, will be sufficient to prepay

authorized and directed to furnish to the Purchaser at the closing such certificates as are required as a

Section 7.Tax Covenant.
7.01.Tax-Exempt Bonds. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of
the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action
which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect at the
time of such actions, and that it will take or cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all affirmative
action within its power that may be necessary to ensure that such interest will not become subject to taxation
under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, as presently existing or as hereafter amended and
made applicable to the Bonds.
7.02.No Rebate Required.
(a)The City will comply with requirements necessary under 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 2020) exceed the small-issuer
exception amount of $5,000,000.
(b)For purposes of qualifying for the small issuer exception to the federal arbitrage
rebate requirements with respect to the Street Reconstruction Bonds and the Utility Revenue
Bonds, the City finds, determines and declares that the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt
bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all subordinate entities of the
City) 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.
(c)If the Pricing Committee determines to proceed with the issuance of the
Refunding Bonds to refund the Refunded Bonds, for purposes of qualifying for the small issuer
exception to the federal arbitrage rebate requirements with respect to the Refunding Bonds, the
City finds, determines, and declares:
(i)each of the Refunded Bonds was issued as part of an issue which was
treated as meeting the rebate requirements by reason of the exception for governmental
units issuing $5,000,000 or less of bonds;
(ii)the average maturity of the Refunding Bonds does not exceed the
remaining average maturity of the Refunded Bonds; and
(iii)no maturity of the Refunding Bonds has a maturity date which is later
than the date which is thirty (30) years after the date the Refunded Bonds were issued.]
(d)The City may consider issuing additional refunding bonds in 2020. If such
refunding bonds are issued, the City shall determine whether the small-issuer exception
continues to apply to the Bonds. If it does not, the City will take advantage of the eighteen
month spending exception to rebate.
12
7.03.Not Private Activity Bonds.The City 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.
7.04.Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations.
(a)If the Pricing Committee determines to proceed with the issuance of the
Refunding Bonds to refund the Refunded Bonds, a portion of the Refunding Bonds in the
principal amount of $990,000 is deemed to be qualified tax-exempt obligations within the
meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code because the City determines that:
(i)the Refunded Bonds were qualified tax-exempt obligations;
(ii)the average maturity date of the Refunding Bonds is not later than the
average maturity date of the Refunded Bonds; and
(iii)the Refunding Bonds have a maturity date which is not later than the
date which is thirty (30) years after the date the Refunded Bonds were issued.
(b)In order to qualify the Street Reconstruction Bonds, the Water Revenue Bonds,
and (if the Pricing Committee determines to proceed with the issuance of the Refunding Bonds to
refund the Refunded Bonds) the remaining principal amount of the Refunding Bonds (the
“Designated Portion”) as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” within the meaning of Section
265(b)(3) of the Code, the City makes the following factual statements and representations:
(i)the Bonds are not “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of the
Code;
(ii)the City designates the Street Reconstruction Bonds, the Water Revenue
Bonds, and (if the Pricing Committee determines to proceed with the issuance of the
Refunding Bonds to refund the Refunded Bonds) the Designated Portion of the
Refunding Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3)
of the Code;
(iii)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
City (and all subordinate entities of the City) during calendar year 2020 will not exceed
$10,000,000; and
(iv)not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during
calendar year 2020 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
7.05.Procedural Requirements. The City 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.
7.06.Reimbursement. The City may have incurred certain expenditures with respect to the
Street Reconstruction and the Water Improvements that were financed temporarily from other sources but
are expected to be reimbursed with proceeds of the Street Reconstruction Bonds and the Water Revenue
Bonds. The City hereby declares its intent to reimburse certain costs of the Street Reconstruction and the
Water Improvements from proceeds of the Street Reconstruction Bonds and the Water Revenue Bonds (the
13
“Declaration”).This Declaration is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for purposes of
the Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code.
Section 8.Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
8.01.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 of the Bonds as provided in the Pricing Committee
Certificate. 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.
8.02.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 City, 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 City, 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, premium 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, premium, if any, 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 City’s obligations with respect to
payment of principal of, premium, if any, 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
City Manager 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 City Manager will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
8.03.Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket
Issuer Letter of Representations (the “Representation Letter”) which will govern payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds. Any Paying Agent or
Registrar subsequently appointed by the City with respect to the Bonds will agree to take all action
necessary for all representations of the City in the Representation Letter with respect to the Registrar and
Paying Agent, respectively, to be complied with at all times.
8.04.Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event the City, by resolution of the City
Council, 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 City will notify DTC, whereupon DTC will notify the
Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event the City 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 City and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto
14
under applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities depository is appointed, the City will issue

The City of Richfield, Minnesota, a duly organized and existing municipal corporation in

February 1 and August 1 in each year, commencing February 1, 2021, to the person in whose name this
Bond is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a business day) of the

principal hereof are payable in lawful money of the United States of America by check or draft by Bond
Trust Services Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as Bond Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and
Authenticating Agent, or its designated successor under the Resolution described herein. For the prompt
and full payment of such principal and interest as the same respectively become due, the full faith and
credit and taxing powers of the City have been and are hereby irrevocably pledged.
The City may elect on February 1, 2030, and on any day thereafter to prepay Bonds due on or
after February 1, 2031. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part, at the option of the City
and in such manner as the City will determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are called for

This Bond is one of an issue in the aggregate principal amount of $_________ all of like original
issue date and tenor, except as to number, maturity date, redemption privilege, and interest rate, all issued
pursuant to a resolution adopted by the City Council on April 14, 2020 (the “Resolution”), for the purpose
of providing money to defray the expenses incurred and to be incurred in making certain street
reconstruction improvements and utility system improvements [and to redeem and prepay certain
outstanding obligations of the City], pursuant to and in full conformity with the home rule charter of the
City and the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota, including Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 444
and 475, as amended, including Section 475.58, subdivision 3b [and Section 475.67, subdivision 3]. The
B- 2
principal hereof and interest hereon are payable in part from ad valorem taxes and in part from net
revenues of the water system of the City, as set forth in the Resolution to which reference is made for a
full statement of rights and powers thereby conferred. The full faith and credit of the City are
irrevocably pledged for payment of this Bond and the City Council has obligated itself to levy additional
ad valorem taxes on all taxable property in the City in the event of any deficiency in taxes and net
revenues pledged, which additional taxes may be levied without limitation as to rate or amount. The
Bonds of this series are issued only as fully registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof of single maturities.
The City Council has designated a portion of the issue of the Bonds and has deemed designated
the remaining portion of the issue of the Bonds of which this Bond forms a part as “qualified tax-exempt
obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”) relating to disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions and within the $10
million limit allowed by the Code for the calendar year of issue.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that in and by the Resolution, the City has
covenanted and agreed that it will continue to own and operate the water system free from competition
by other like municipal utilities; that adequate insurance on said system and suitable fidelity bonds on
employees will be carried; that proper and adequate books of account will be kept showing all receipts
and disbursements relating to the Water Fund, into which it will pay all of the gross revenues from the
water system; that it will also create and maintain a Water Improvements Account within the General
Obligation Bonds, Series 2020A Debt Service Fund, into which it will pay, out of the net revenues from
the water system, a sum sufficient to pay principal of the Water Revenue Bonds [and Refunding Bonds]
(as defined in the Resolution) and interest on the Water Revenue Bonds [and Refunding Bonds] when
due; and that it will provide, by ad valorem tax levies, for any deficiency in required net revenues of the
water system.
As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Bond is
transferable upon the books of the City at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, by the registered
owner hereof in person or by the owner’s attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender hereof
together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, duly executed by the
registered owner or the owner’s attorney; and may also be surrendered in exchange for Bonds of other
authorized denominations. Upon such transfer or exchange the City will cause a new Bond or Bonds to
be issued in the name of the transferee or registered owner, of the same aggregate principal amount,
bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date, subject to reimbursement for any tax, fee
or governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange.
The City and the Bond Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is
registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving
payment and for all other purposes, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar will be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that all acts,
conditions and things required by the home rule charter of the City and the Constitution and laws of the
State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen and to be performed preliminary to and in the issuance
of this Bond in order to make it a valid and binding general obligation of the City in accordance with its
terms, have been done, do exist, have happened and have been performed as so required, and that the
issuance of this Bond does not cause the indebtedness of the City to exceed any constitutional, charter, or
statutory limitation of indebtedness.

the Resolution until the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Bond Registrar by
manual signature of one of its authorized representatives.
