called for redemption, the City will notify DTC (as defined in Section 7 hereof) of the particular amount of
such maturity to be prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant’s interest in such
maturity to be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in such
maturity to be redeemed. Prepayments will be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
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 August 1, 2024, 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” and the “Paying Agent”). 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.
(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
Resolution 2023-102
October 17, 2023
3
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
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 Administrator 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 City Administrator and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City
Administrator, 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 City Administrator 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.
3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Administrator 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.
Section 4. Payment; Security; Pledges and Covenants.
4.01. Debt Service Fund. The Bonds will be payable from the General Obligation Improvement
Bonds, Series 2023A Debt Service Fund (the “Debt Service Fund”) hereby created. The Debt Service Fund
shall be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a bookkeeping account separate and apart
from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City. Special assessments levied
against property specially benefited by the Improvements (the “Assessments”) and valorem taxes hereinafter
levied (the “Taxes”) are hereby pledged to the Debt Service Fund. There is also appropriated to the Debt
Service Fund amounts over the minimum purchase price of the Bonds paid by the Purchaser, to the extent
designated for deposit in the Debt Service Fund in accordance with Section 1.03 hereof.

4.02. Construction Fund. The City hereby creates the General Obligation Improvement Bonds,
Series 2023A Construction Fund (the “Construction Fund”). Proceeds of the Bonds, less the appropriations
made in Section 4.01 hereof, together with the Assessments and Taxes and any other funds appropriated for
the Improvements collected during the construction of the Improvements, will be deposited in the
Construction Fund to be used solely to defray expenses of the Improvements and the payment of principal of
and interest on the Bonds prior to the completion and payment of all costs of the Improvements. Any balance
remaining in the Construction Fund after completion of the Improvements may be used to pay the cost in
whole or in part of any other improvement instituted under the Act, under the direction of the City Council.

any subsequent collections of Assessments and Taxes for the Improvements are to be deposited in the Debt
Service Fund.

Improvements will directly and indirectly benefit abutting property, and the City hereby covenants with
the holders from time to time of the Bonds as follows:
(a) The City will cause the Assessments for the Improvements to be promptly levied
so that the first installment of the Improvements will be collectible not later than 2024 and will
take all steps necessary to assure prompt collection, and the levy of the Assessments is hereby
authorized. The City Council will cause to be taken with due diligence all further actions that are
required for the construction of each Improvement financed wholly or partly from the proceeds of
the Bonds, and will take all further actions necessary for the final and valid levy of the
Assessments and the appropriation of any other funds needed to pay the Bonds and interest
thereon when due.
(b) In the event of any current or anticipated deficiency in Assessments and Taxes,
the City Council will levy additional ad valorem taxes in the amount of the current or anticipated
deficiency.
(c) The City will keep complete and accurate books and records showing receipts
and disbursements in connection with the Improvements, Assessments, and Taxes levied therefor
and other funds appropriated for their payment, collections thereof and disbursements therefrom,
monies on hand, and the balance of unpaid Assessments.

furnish copies of such audit reports to any interested person upon request.
(e) At least twenty percent (20%) of the cost to the City of the Improvements
described herein will be specially assessed against benefited properties.
4.04. 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.

4.05. Pledge of Tax Levy. For the purpose of paying a portion of the principal of and interest
on the Bonds, there is levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax upon all of the taxable property in

City makes its annual tax levies the Finance Director may certify to the Auditor/Treasurer of Hennepin

pay principal and interest due during the ensuing year, and the County Auditor/Treasurer will thereupon

investment earnings to the United States, if the Bond (together with other obligations reasonably
expected to be issued in calendar year 2023) exceeds 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, 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 Bond is 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 City further covenants not to use the proceeds of the

“private activity bonds” within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.

printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section 1.04 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 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
Administrator 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 Administrator will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
7.03. 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.
Resolution 2023-102
October 17, 2023

7.04. 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 under
applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities 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.
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, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and all notices with respect to the Bond 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. Execution of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”
means that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed by the Mayor and City Administrator and
dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, as originally executed and as it may be amended from
time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.
8.02. City Compliance with Provisions of 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 resolution, 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 may 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.
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, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for the prompt and full
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in full force and effect. 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 full. 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 full with interest
accrued to the date of such deposit.

This Bond is one of an issue in the aggregate principal amount of $2,115,000 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 October 17, 2023 (the “Resolution”), for the
purpose of providing money to defray the expenses incurred and to be incurred in making certain
assessable local improvements, pursuant to and in full conformity with the Constitution and laws of the
State of Minnesota, including Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 429 and 475, as amended. The principal
B-2
hereof and interest hereon are payable from special assessments levied against property specially
benefited by local improvements and ad valorem taxes 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 special assessments
and taxes pledged, which 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 the issue of 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.
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 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 or statutory limitation of indebtedness.
This Bond is not valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under
the Resolution until the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Bond Registrar by
manual signature of one of its authorized representatives.
