The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the City with the official manual or facsimile
signature of the Mayor and attested with the official manual or facsimile signature of the City
Clerk, and shall be fully registered Bonds without interest coupons. In case any officer whose
signature or the facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer
before the delivery of the Bonds, such signature or such facsimile signature shall nevertheless be
valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until
delivery.
The Bonds shall be fully registered as to principal and interest in the names of the owners
on the registration books of the City kept by the Registrar, and after such registration payment of
the principal thereof and interest thereon shall be made only to the registered owners or their
legal representatives or assigns. Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the registration
books of the City upon presentation to the Registrar, together with either a written instrument of
transfer satisfactory to the Registrar or the assignment form thereon completed and duly
executed by the registered owner or the duly authorized attorney for such registered owner.
The record and identity of the owners of the Bonds shall be kept confidential as provided
by Section 22.7 of the Code of Iowa.
The Bonds shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of
Authentication thereon shall have been signed by the Registrar.
Section 4. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, the Bonds shall be issued
initially as Depository Bonds, with one fully registered Bond for each maturity date, in principal
amounts equal to the amount of principal maturing on each such date, and registered in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC").
On original issue, the Bonds shall be deposited with DTC for the purpose of maintaining a
book -entry system for recording the ownership interests of its participants and the transfer of
those interests among its participants (the "Participants"). In the event that DTC determines not
to continue to act as securities depository for the Bonds or the City determines not to continue
the book -entry system for recording ownership interests in the Bonds with DTC, the City will
discontinue the book -entry system with DTC. If the City does not select another qualified
securities depository to replace DTC (or a successor depository) in order to continue a
book -entry system, the City will register and deliver replacement bonds in the form of fully
registered certificates, in authorized denominations of $5,000 or integral multiples of $5,000, in
accordance with instructions from Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. In the event that the City
identifies a qualified securities depository to replace DTC, the City will register and deliver
replacement bonds, fully registered in the name of such depository, or its nominee, in the
denominations as set forth above, as reduced from time to time prior to maturity in connection
with redemptions or retirements by call or payment, and in such event, such depository will then
maintain the book -entry system for recording ownership interests in the Bonds.
Ownership interests in the Bonds may be purchased by or through Participants. Such
Participants and the persons for whom they acquire interests in the Bonds as nominees will not
receive certificated Bonds, but each such Participant will receive a credit balance in the records
of DTC in the amount of such Participant's interest in the Bonds, which will be confirmed in
-6-
DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP, Al I ORNEY, DES MOINES, IOWA
Tiffin / 436989-37 / Iss GO CP LA
accordance with DTC's standard procedures. Each such person for which a Participant has an
interest in the Bonds, as nominee, may desire to make arrangements with such Participant to
have all notices of redemption or other communications of the City to DTC, which may affect
such person, forwarded in writing by such Participant and to have notification made of all
interest payments.
The City will have no responsibility or obligation to such Participants or the persons for
whom they act as nominees with respect to payment to or providing of notice for such
Participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees.
As used herein, the term "Beneficial Owner" shall hereinafter be deemed to include the
person for whom the Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds.
DTC will receive payments from the City, to be remitted by DTC to the Participants for
subsequent disbursement to the Beneficial Owners. The ownership interest of each Beneficial
Owner in the Bonds will be recorded on the records of the Participants whose ownership interest
will be recorded on a computerized book -entry system kept by DTC.
When reference is made to any action which is required or permitted to be taken by the
Beneficial Owners, such reference shall only relate to those permitted to act (by statute,
regulation or otherwise) on behalf of such Beneficial Owners for such purposes. When notices
are given, they shall be sent by the City to DTC, and DTC shall forward (or cause to be
forwarded) the notices to the Participants so that the Participants can forward the same to the
Beneficial Owners.
Beneficial Owners will receive written confirmations of their purchases from the
Participants acting on behalf of the Beneficial Owners detailing the terms of the Bonds acquired.
Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by
DTC and the Participants who act on behalf of the Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will
not receive certificates representing their ownership interest in the Bonds, except as specifically
provided herein. Interest and principal will be paid when due by the City to DTC, then paid by
DTC to the Participants and thereafter paid by the Participants to the Beneficial Owners.
Section 5. The Bonds shall be in substantially the following form:

of Johnson County, and the Auditor is hereby instructed to enter for collection and assess the tax
hereby authorized. When annually entering such taxes for collection, the County Auditor shall
include the same as a part of the tax levy for Debt Service Fund purposes of the City and when
collected, the proceeds of the taxes shall be converted into the Debt Service Fund of the City and
set aside therein as a special account to be used solely and only for the payment of the principal

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 76.4 of the Code of Iowa, each year while the
Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid, any funds of the City which may lawfully be applied for
such purpose may be appropriated, budgeted and, if received, used for the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due, and if so appropriated, the taxes
for any given fiscal year as provided for in Section 7 of this Resolution, shall be reduced by the
amount of such alternate funds as have been appropriated for said purpose and evidenced in the
City's budget.

when the taxes shall have been collected, reimbursement shall be made to such current funds in
the sum thus advanced.
Section 10. It is the intention of the City that interest on the Bonds be and remain
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the appropriate
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations in
effect with respect thereto (all of the foregoing herein referred to as the "Internal Revenue
Code"). In furtherance thereof, the City covenants to comply with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code as they may from time to time be in effect or amended and further covenants to
comply with the applicable future laws, regulations, published rulings and court decisions as may
be necessary to insure that the interest on the Bonds will remain excluded from gross income for
federal income tax purposes. Any and all of the officers of the City are hereby authorized and
directed to take any and all actions as may be necessary to comply with the covenants herein
contained.
The City hereby designates the Bonds as "Qualified Tax Exempt Obligations" as that
term is used in Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code.

certain amendments to Rule 15c2-12 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R.
§ 240.15c2-12) (the "Rule") that make it unlawful for an underwriter to participate in the primary
offering of municipal securities in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or more unless, before
submitting a bid or entering into a purchase contract for such securities, an underwriter has
reasonably determined that the issuer or an obligated person has undertaken in writing for the
benefit of the holders of such securities to provide certain disclosure information to prescribed
information repositories on a continuing basis so long as such securities are outstanding or unless
and to the extent the offering is exempt from the requirements of the Rule.
On the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the City will execute and deliver a
Continuing Disclosure Certificate pursuant to which the City will undertake to comply with the
Rule. The City covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out the provisions of the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Any and all of the officers of the City are hereby authorized
and directed to take any and all actions as may be necessary to comply with the Rule and the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

Re: $2,740,000 General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds, Series 2022A
Our File No. 436989-37
Dear Doug:
We have prepared and attach proceedings to be used at the May 3, 2022 City Council
meeting to enable the Council to adopt the resolution (the "Resolution") approving the Loan
Agreement, providing for the issuance of General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds, Series
2022A (the "Bonds") and providing for the levy of taxes to pay the same.
The proceedings attached include the following items:
1. Resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds. The form of Bond,
Authentication Certificate and Assignment set out in the Resolution should not be completed or
executed.
2. Attestation Certificate with respect to the validity of the transcript.
3. County Filing Certificate relating to the filing of a certified copy of this
Resolution in the County Auditor's office. After it is adopted, a certified copy of the Resolution
must be filed with the Johnson County Auditor prior to closing on May 18, 2022. An extra copy
of the Resolution should be printed for this purpose.
As provided in this Resolution, beginning in the 2023-2024 fiscal year, the County
Auditor will have a mandatory duty to make a levy of taxes to pay principal of and interest on
the Bonds unless the City's budget each year affirmatively shows that the tax should not be
levied because other funds will be applied to the payment of the Bonds for that budget year. To
the extent the City determines that property tax levies will be needed for payment in any year,
the tax levy amounts needed must be certified for that year in the City's budget as part of the
Debt Service Fund, and the funds derived from sources other than taxes must be shown on the
appropriate budget document.
As these proceedings are completed, please return one fully executed copy to our office.
