factory to the Registrar, along with the ad-

lution in aggregate principal amount equal

tered Note and bearing interest at the

or dates shall be delivered by the Regis-
trar.

ments shall be valid and effectual to sat-
isfy and discharge the liability upon such
Note, including the interest thereon, to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid.

not be reissued but shall be cancelled by

by the Registrar shall be destroyed and a

vided that if the Issuer shall so direct, the
Registrar shall forward the cancelled Note
to the Issuer.
In the event any payment check, wire, or
electronic transfer of funds representing
payment of principal of or interest on the
Notes is returned to the Paying Agent or if
any note is not presented for payment of
principal at the maturity or redemption
date, if funds sufficient to pay such princi-
pal of or interest on Notes shall have been
made available to the Paying Agent for the
benefit of the owner thereof, all liability of
the Issuer to the owner thereof for such in-
terest or payment of such Notes shall
forthwith cease, terminate and be com-
pletely discharged, and thereupon it shall
be the duty of the Paying Agent to hold
such funds, without liability for interest
thereon, for the benefit of the owner of
such Notes who shall thereafter be re-
stricted exclusively to such funds for any
claim of whatever nature on his part under
this Resolution or on, or with respect to,
such interest or Notes. The Paying
Agent's obligation to hold such funds shall
continue for a period equal to two years
and six months following the date on
which such interest or principal became
due, whether at maturity, or at the date
fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise,
at which time the Paying Agent shall sur-
render any remaining funds so held to the
Issuer, whereupon any claim under this
Resolution by the Owners of such interest
or Notes of whatever nature shall be made
upon the Issuer.

1. Set Public Hearing for Resolution Estab-
lishing Maximum Property Tax Dollars for
FY22: City Manager recommended the FY22
Resolution Establishing Maximum Property Tax
Dollars be set for public hearing on March 1,
2021. Motion by Resnick to receive and file the
documents, adopt the resolution, set the public
hearing as indicated, and direct the City Clerk
to publish notice as prescribed by law. Se-
conded by Roussell. City Clerk Breitfelder
stated for the record that City Council received
updated information regarding this agenda item
on February 15, 2021, and the updated infor-
mation was uploaded to the agenda. City Man-
ager Van Milligen provided information on both
his initial and updated recommendation to City
Council. City Manager Van Milligen responded
to questions from the City Council regarding
how the budget relates to Council's goals, the
purpose of the General Reserve Fund, the
State of Iowa's recent change to the amount
that multi -residential properties are assessed,
and the City's plan to not add to the reserve
fund this year. Jennifer Larson, Director of Fi-
nance and Budget, responded to a question
from the City Council regarding when the 2021
revaluation of property values would impact
taxes. City Council requested clarification on
whether they would be able to lower the as-
sessed value rate after this Council meeting
and if the current motion needed to be amended
to state the assessed value. City Manager Van
Milligen stated that Council would only be able
to lower the assessed value rate after this meet-
ing. City Clerk Breitfelder stated that the current
resolution and motion specify setting the date of
the public hearing. Council Member Resnick
amended his motion to receive and file the doc-
uments, adopt Resolution No. 49-21 Setting a
public hearing on the FY22 maximum property
tax dollars for the affected tax levy total, set the
public hearing as indicated, direct the City Clerk
to publish notice as prescribed by law, and set
the property tax rate per the revised recommen-

cal year commencing July 1, 2022).
(b) Resolution to be Filed With County
Auditor. A certified copy of this Resolution
shall be filed with the County Auditor of
Dubuque County Iowa, and the Auditor is
hereby instructed, subject to Non -appro-
priation, in and for each of the years as
provided, to levy and assess the tax
hereby authorized in Section 3 of this Res-
olution, in like manner as other taxes are
levied and assessed, and such taxes so
levied in and for each of the years afore-
said be collected in like manner as other
taxes of the City are collected, and when

ing principal and interest on said Notes is-
sued in anticipation of the tax, and for no
other purpose whatsoever.
(c) The City currently intends to abate
all or a portion of the levy necessary to pay
the Notes out of available sales tax incre-
ment and stormwater revenues (to the ex-
tent appropriated by the City).
(d) Additional City Funds Available.
Notwithstanding anything in this Resolu-
tion to the contrary, the payments of prin-
cipal and interest due on the Notes shall
not constitute a mandatory charge or a re-
quirement in any ensuing fiscal year be-
yond the then current fiscal year, and the
Issuer shall have no continuing obligation
to appropriate money for the payment of
interest and principal due on the Notes,
and no provision of this Resolution or the
Notes shall be construed or interpreted as
creating a general obligation or other in-
debtedness of the Issuer within the mean-
ing of any constitutional or statutory debt
limitation. The Issuer's obligation to make
payments of interest and principal in re-
spect of the Notes shall be subject at all
times to Non -appropriation by the City
Council. On or before December 1 of each
year, the City Council shall determine
whether to budget and appropriate funds
for the next succeeding fiscal year to
make the payments of principal of and in-
terest due on the Notes during such fiscal
year. If the City Council determines to
budget and appropriate funds for such
purposes, the City agrees to take the fol-
lowing steps:
(1) certify to the County Auditor the
amount of principal of and interest on
the Notes, if any, which are to be paid
from sources other than a debt service
levy during such fiscal year; and
(2) certify to the County Auditor by
the following March 31 the amount, if
Book 151 Regular Session, April 5, 2021 113
any, of principal of and interest on the
Notes which are to be paid from Debt
Service Tax Revenues for such fiscal
year.
In the event that funds are not
budgeted and appropriated by the City
Council in any fiscal year in an amount
sufficient to meet the payments of in-
terest and principal due on the Notes,
the Issuer shall have the right to termi-
nate its obligations under the Notes
with respect to future payments of in-
terest and principal thereon without
penalty, by giving not less than thirty
(30) days written notice to the Original
Purchaser of the lack of continued
funding, and the Issuer's obligations
under the Notes shall become null and
void on the last day of the fiscal year
for which the necessary funds were
appropriated. Upon the occurrence of
any such Non -appropriation, Issuer
shall not be obligated to make pay-
ment of any additional amounts in re-
spect of principal and interest on the
Notes beyond those funds which have
been appropriated, and the Issuer
shall not be liable to the Original Pur-
chaser (or any other assignee or
holder of the Notes) for any remaining
amounts due under the Notes or for
any costs, damages (including but not
limited to consequential damages) or
expenses incurred by the Original Pur-
chaser (or any other assignee or
holder of the Notes) as a result of the
exercise by the Issuer of the foregoing
right of Non -appropriation.
Section 4. Note Fund. Said tax shall be as-
sessed and collected each year at the same
time and in the same manner as, and in addition
to, all other taxes in and for the City, and when
collected they shall be converted into a special
fund within the Debt Service Fund to be known
as the "GENERAL OBLIGATION ANNUAL AP-
PROPRIATION REFUNDING CAPITAL LOAN
NOTE FUND 2021 NO. 1" (the "Note Fund"),
which is hereby pledged for and shall be used
only for the payment of the principal of and in-
terest on the Notes hereinafter authorized to be
issued; and also subject to Non -appropriation,
and there shall be apportioned to said fund its
proportion of taxes received by the City from
railway, express, telephone and telegraph com-
panies and other taxes assessed by the Iowa
State Department of Revenue.
Section 5. Application of Note Proceeds.
Proceeds of the Notes other than accrued inter-
est except as may be provided below shall be
credited to the Project Fund and expended only
for the purposes of the Project. Any amounts on
hand in the Project Fund shall be available for
the payment of the principal of or interest on the
Notes at any time that other funds shall be in-
sufficient to the purpose, in which event such
funds shall be repaid to the Project Fund at the
earliest opportunity. Any balance on hand in the
Project Fund and not immediately required for
its purposes may be invested not inconsistent
with limitations provided by law or this Resolu-
tion. Accrued interest, if any, shall be deposited
in the Note Fund.
Section 6. Investments of Note Fund Pro-
ceeds. All moneys held in the Note Fund and
the Project Fund, shall be invested in invest-
ments permitted by Chapter 12B, Code of Iowa,
2019 (formerly Chapter 452, Code of Iowa, as
amended) or deposited in financial institutions
which are members of the Federal Deposit In-
surance Corporation and the deposits in which
are insured thereby and all such deposits ex-
ceeding the maximum amount insured from
time to time by FDIC or its equivalent successor
in any one financial institution shall be continu-
ously secured in compliance with Chapter 12C
of the Code of Iowa, 2019, as amended or oth-
erwise by a valid pledge of direct obligations of
the United States Government having an equiv-
alent market value. All such interim investments
shall mature before the date on which the mon-
eys are required for payment of principal of or
interest on the Notes as herein provided.

emption Certificate are hereby incorporated by
reference as part of this Resolution. The Direc-

resentations, covenants and assurances con-
tained in the Tax Exemption Certificate, which

be amended without the consent of any owner
of the Notes if, in the opinion of bond counsel,
such amendment is necessary to maintain tax
exemption with respect to the Notes under ap-
plicable Federal law or regulations.

tion, paragraph, clause, or provision of this Res-
olution be held invalid, such invalidity shall not
affect any of the remaining provisions hereof,
and this Resolution shall become effective im-
mediately upon its passage and approval.

repairing of any street improvements; the acqui-

and
Whereas, it is found and determined that the
aforesaid adjustment and refunding of present
indebtedness is necessary and in the public in-
terest and will benefit the City and its taxpayers
by restructuring five (5) outstanding issue(s) of

istration thereof; by conforming the debt service
requirements to the anticipated receipt of tax
funds thereby reducing the impact of delays in
the collection of future taxes upon the City's
cash flow; and to adjust the requirements of the
outstanding indebtedness so as to facilitate the
orderly retirement of Bonds anticipated to be is-
sued for future capital improvements; and

service fund requirements of the City by refund-
ing of the Bonds set forth in the schedule set

and made a part hereof by this reference; and

$700,000 be authorized for said purpose(s);
and
Whereas, the Issuer has a population of
more than 5,000 but not more than 75,000, and
the Bonds for these purposes do not exceed
$700,000; and
Whereas, pursuant to notice published as

b. Redemption.
i. Optional Redemption. Bonds matur-
ing after June 1, 2028, may be called for
optional redemption by the Issuer on that
date or any date thereafter, from any
funds regardless of source, in whole or
Book 151 Regular Session, May 17, 2021 193
from time to time in part, in any order of
maturity and within an annual maturity by
Lot. The terms of redemption shall be par,
plus accrued interest to date of call.
Thirty days' written notice of redemp-
tion shall be given to the registered owner
of the Bond. Failure to give written notice
to any registered owner of the Bonds or
any defect therein shall not affect the va-
lidity of any proceedings for the redemp-
tion of the Bonds. All Bonds or portions
thereof called for redemption will cease to
bear interest after the specified redemp-
tion date, provided funds for their redemp-
tion are on deposit at the place of pay-
ment. Written notice will be deemed com-
pleted upon transmission to the owner of
record.
If selection by Lot within a maturity is
required, the Registrar shall designate the
Bonds to be redeemed by random selec-
tion of the names of the registered owners
of the entire annual maturity until the total
amount of Bonds to be called has been
reached.
If less than all of a maturity is called for
redemption, the Issuer will notify DTC of
the particular amount of such maturity to
be redeemed prior to maturity. DTC will
determine by Lot the amount of each Par-
ticipant's interest in such maturity to be re-
deemed and each Participant will then se-
lect by Lot the beneficial ownership inter-
ests in such maturity to be redeemed. All
prepayments shall be at a price of par plus
accrued interest.
Section 7. Issuance of Bonds in Book -Entry
Form; Replacement Bonds.
a. Notwithstanding the other provisions
of this Resolution regarding registration,
ownership, transfer, payment and exchange
of the Bonds, unless the Issuer determines
to permit the exchange of Depository Bonds
for Bonds in Authorized Denominations, the
Bonds shall be issued as Depository Bonds
in denominations of the entire principal
amount of each maturity of Bonds (or, if a
portion of said principal amount is prepaid,
said principal amount less the prepaid
amount). The Bonds must be registered in
the name of Cede and Co., as nominee for
DTC. Payment of semiannual interest for
any Bonds registered in the name of Cede
and Co. will be made by wire transfer or
New York Clearing House or equivalent
next day funds to the account of Cede and
Co. on the interest payment date for the
Bonds at the address indicated or in the
Representation Letter.
b. The Bonds will be initially issued in
the form of separate single authenticated
fully registered bonds in the amount of each
stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial is-
suance, the ownership of the Bonds will be
registered in the registry books of the LIMB
Bank, N.A. kept by the Paying Agent and
Registrar in the name of Cede and Co., as
nominee of DTC. The Paying Agent and
Registrar and the Issuer may treat DTC (or
its nominee) as the sole and exclusive
owner of the Bonds registered in its name
for the purposes of payment of the principal
or redemption price of or interest on the
Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions to be
redeemed, giving any notice permitted or
required to be given to registered owners of
Bonds under the Resolution of the Issuer,
registering the transfer of Bonds, obtaining
any consent or other action to be taken by
registered owners of the Bonds and for
other purposes. The Paying Agent, Regis-
trar and the Issuer have no responsibility or
obligation to any Participant or Beneficial
Owner of the Bonds under or through DTC
with respect to the accuracy of records
maintained by DTC or any Participant; with
respect to the payment by DTC or Partici-
pant of an amount of principal or redemption
price of or interest on the Bonds; with re-
spect to any notice given to owners of
Bonds under the Resolution; with respect to
the Participant(s) selected to receive pay-
ment in the event of a partial redemption of
the Bonds, or a consent given or other ac-
tion taken by DTC as registered owner of
the Bonds. The Paying Agent and Registrar
shall pay all principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds only to Cede and
Co. in accordance with the Representation
Letter, and all payments are valid and effec-
tive to fully satisfy and discharge the Issu-
er's obligations with respect to the principal
of and premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds to the extent of the sum paid. DTC
must receive an authenticated Bond for
each separate stated maturity evidencing
the obligation of the Issuer to make pay-
ments of principal of and premium, if any,
and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the
Paying Agent and Registrar of written notice
that DTC has determined to substitute a
new nominee in place of Cede and Co., the
Bonds will be transferable to the new nomi-
nee in accordance with this Section.
c. In the event the Issuer determines
that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial
Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds
certificates, the Issuer may notify DTC and
the Paying Agent and Registrar, whereupon
DTC will notify the Participants, of the avail-
ability through DTC of Bonds certificates.
The Bonds will be transferable in accord-
ance with this Section. DTC may determine
to discontinue providing its services with re-
194 Regular Session, May 17, 2021 Book 151
spect to the Bonds at any time by giving no-
tice to the Issuer and the Paying Agent and
Registrar and discharging its responsibili-
ties under applicable law. In this event, the
Bonds will be transferable in accordance
with this Section.
d. Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Resolution to the contrary, so long as
any Bond is registered in the name of Cede
and Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments
with respect to the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on the Bond and all no-
tices must be made and given, respectively
to DTC as provided in the Representation
letter.
e. In connection with any notice or other
communication to be provided to Bondhold-
ers by the Issuer or the Paying Agent and
Registrar with respect to a consent or other
action to be taken by Bondholders, the Is-
suer or the Paying Agent and Registrar, as
the case may be, shall establish a record
date for the consent or other action and give
DTC notice of the record date not less than
15 calendar days in advance of the record
date to the extent possible. Notice to DTC
must be given only when DTC is the sole
Bondholder.
f. The Representation Letter is on file
with DTC and sets forth certain matters with
respect to, among other things, notices,
consents and approvals by Bondholders
and payments on the Bonds. The execution
and delivery of the Representation Letter to
DTC by the Issuer is ratified and confirmed.
g. In the event that a transfer or ex-
change of the Bonds is permitted under this
Section, the transfer or exchange may be
accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar
from the registered owners of the Bonds to
be transferred or exchanged and appropri-
ate instruments of transfer. In the event
Bond certificates are issued to holders other
than Cede and Co., its successor as nomi-
nee for DTC as holder of all the Bonds, or
other securities depository as holder of all
the Bonds, the provisions of the Resolution
apply to, among other things, the printing of
certificates and the method or payment of
principal of and interest on the certificates.
Any substitute depository shall be desig-
nated in writing by the Issuer to the Paying
Agent. Any such substitute depository shall
be a qualified and registered "clearing
agency" as provided in Section 17A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The substitute depository shall
provide for (i) immobilization of the Deposi-
tory Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of
interests in Depository Bonds by book en-
tries made on records of the depository or
its nominee and (iii) payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
in accordance with and as such interests
may appear with respect to such book en-
tries.
h. The officers of the Issuer are author-
ized and directed to prepare and furnish to
the purchaser, and to the attorneys approv-
ing the legality of Bonds, certified copies of
proceedings, ordinances, resolutions and
records and all certificates and affidavits
and other instruments as may be required
to evidence the legality and marketability of
the Bonds, and all certified copies, certifi-
cates, affidavits and other instruments con-
stitute representations of the Issuer as to
the correctness of all stated or recited facts.
Section 8. Registration of Bonds; Appoint-
ment of Registrar; Transfer; Ownership; Deliv-
ery; and Cancellation.
a. Registration. The ownership of Bonds
may be transferred only by the making of an
entry upon the books kept for the registra-
tion and transfer of ownership of the Bonds,
and in no other way. UMB Bank, N.A. is
hereby appointed as Bond Registrar under
the terms of this Resolution and under the
provisions of a separate agreement with the
Issuer filed herewith which is made a part
hereof by this reference. Registrar shall
maintain the books of the Issuer for the reg-
istration of ownership of the Bonds for the
payment of principal of and interest on the
Bonds as provided in this Resolution. All
Bonds shall be negotiable as provided in Ar-
ticle 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code and
Section 384.31 of the Code of Iowa, subject
to the provisions for registration and transfer
contained in the Bonds and in this Resolu-
tion.
b. Transfer. The ownership of any Bond
may be transferred only upon the Registra-
tion Books kept for the registration and
transfer of Bonds and only upon surrender
thereof at the office of the Registrar together
with an assignment duly executed by the
holder or his duly authorized attorney in fact
in such form as shall be satisfactory to the
Registrar, along with the address and social
security number or federal employer identi-
fication number of such transferee (or, if
registration is to be made in the name of
multiple individuals, of all such transferees).
In the event that the address of the regis-
tered owner of a Bond (other than a regis-
tered owner which is the nominee of the bro-
ker or dealer in question) is that of a broker
or dealer, there must be disclosed on the
Registration Books the information pertain-
ing to the registered owner required above.
Upon the transfer of any such Bond, a new
fully registered Bond, of any denomination
or denominations permitted by this Resolu-
tion in aggregate principal amount equal to
the unmatured and unredeemed principal
Book 151 Regular Session, May 17, 2021 195
amount of such transferred fully registered
Bond and bearing interest at the same rate
and maturing on the same date or dates
shall be delivered by the Registrar.
c. Registration of Transferred Bonds. In
all cases of the transfer of the Bonds, the
Registrar shall register, at the earliest prac-
ticable time, on the Registration Books, the
Bonds, in accordance with the provisions of
this Resolution.
d. Ownership. As to any Bond, the per-
son in whose name the ownership of the
same shall be registered on the Registration
Books of the Registrar shall be deemed and
regarded as the absolute owner thereof for
all purposes, and payment of or on account
of the principal of any such Bonds and the
premium, if any, and interest thereon shall
be made only to or upon the order of the
registered owner thereof or his legal repre-
sentative. All such payments shall be valid
and effectual to satisfy and discharge the li-
ability upon such Bond, including the inter-
est thereon, to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
e. Cancellation. All Bonds which have
been redeemed shall not be reissued but
shall be cancelled by the Registrar. All
Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar
shall be destroyed and a certificate of the
destruction thereof shall be furnished
promptly to the Issuer; provided that if the
Issuer shall so direct, the Registrar shall for-
ward the cancelled Bonds to the Issuer.
f. Non -Presentment of Bonds. In the
event any payment check, wire, or elec-
tronic transfer of funds representing pay-
ment of principal of or interest on the Bonds
is returned to the Paying Agent or if any
bond is not presented for payment of princi-
pal at the maturity or redemption date, if
funds sufficient to pay such principal of or

ing with such other reasonable regulations as
the Issuer or its agent may prescribe and pay-

connection therewith.
Section 10 Record Date. Payments of prin-

demption, made in respect of any Bond, shall
be made to the registered holder thereof or to
their designated agent as the same appear on

Bond shall surrender the Bond to the Paying
Agent.

hereunder unless the Registrar shall duly en-
dorse and execute on such Bond a Certificate

Certificate herein set forth. Such Certificate
upon any Bond executed on behalf of the Issuer
shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so
authenticated has been duly issued under this

execute, attest, seal and deliver for and on be-
half of the City any other additional certificates,

ing of Sections 148(a) and (b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of the United States, as
amended, and that throughout the term of the

To the best knowledge and belief of the Is-
suer, there are no facts or circumstances that
would materially change the foregoing state-

that the proceeds of the Bonds will be used in a
manner that would cause the Bonds to be arbi-
trage bonds.

tificate. Attached hereto is a form of Tax Ex-
emption Certificate stating the Issuer's reason-

tions necessary to complete the Tax Exemption
Certificate at issuance of the Bonds to certify as
to the reasonable expectations and covenants
of the Issuer at that date.
Section 18. Continuing Disclosure. The Is-
suer hereby covenants and agrees that it will
comply with and carry out all of the provisions
of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, and the
provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certifi-
cate are hereby incorporated by reference as
part of this Resolution and made a part hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Res-
olution, failure of the Issuer to comply with the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not be
considered an event of default under this Res-
olution; however, any holder of the Bonds or
Beneficial Owner may take such actions as may
be necessary and appropriate, including seek-
ing specific performance by court order, to
cause the Issuer to comply with its obligations
under the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. For

ers and holders of the Bonds from time to time
outstanding that the Issuer through its officers,
(a) will make such further specific covenants,
representations and assurances as may be
necessary or advisable; (b) comply with all rep-
resentations, covenants and assurances con-

advisable by its officers, to employ and pay fis-
cal agents, financial advisors, attorneys and
other persons to assist the Issuer in such com-
pliance.

Maintain Tax Exemption. This Resolution may
be amended without the consent of any owner
of the Bonds if, in the opinion of Bond Counsel,
such amendment is necessary to maintain tax
exemption with respect to the Bonds under ap-
plicable Federal law or regulations.
Section 21. Repeal of Conflicting Resolu-
tions or Ordinances. All ordinances and resolu-
tions and parts of ordinances and resolutions in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

ing after June 1, 2028, may be called for
optional redemption by the Issuer on that
date or any date thereafter, from any
funds regardless of source, in whole or
from time to time in part, in any order of
maturity and within an annual maturity by
Lot. The terms of redemption shall be par,
plus accrued interest to date of call.
Thirty days' written notice of redemp-
tion shall be given to the registered owner
of the Bond. Failure to give written notice
to any registered owner of the Bonds or
any defect therein shall not affect the va-
lidity of any proceedings for the redemp-
tion of the Bonds. All Bonds or portions
thereof called for redemption will cease to
bear interest after the specified redemp-
tion date, provided funds for their redemp-
tion are on deposit at the place of pay-
ment. Written notice will be deemed com-
pleted upon transmission to the owner of
record.
If selection by Lot within a maturity is
required, the Registrar shall designate the
Bonds to be redeemed by random selec-
tion of the names of the registered owners
of the entire annual maturity until the total
amount of Bonds to be called has been
reached.
If less than all of a maturity is called for
redemption, the Issuer will notify DTC of
the particular amount of such maturity to
be redeemed prior to maturity. DTC will
determine by Lot the amount of each Par-
ticipant's interest in such maturity to be re-
deemed and each Participant will then se-
lect by Lot the beneficial ownership inter-
ests in such maturity to be redeemed. All
prepayments shall be at a price of par plus
accrued interest.
Section 7. Issuance of Bonds in Book -Entry
Form; Replacement Bonds.
a. Notwithstanding the other provi-
sions of this Resolution regarding registra-
tion, ownership, transfer, payment and ex-
change of the Bonds, unless the Issuer
determines to permit the exchange of De-
pository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized
Denominations, the Bonds shall be issued
as Depository Bonds in denominations of
the entire principal amount of each ma-
turity of Bonds (or, if a portion of said prin-
cipal amount is prepaid, said principal
amount less the prepaid amount). The
Bonds must be registered in the name of
Cede and Co., as nominee for DTC. Pay-
ment of semiannual interest for any Bonds
registered in the name of Cede and Co.
will be made by wire transfer or New York
Clearing House or equivalent next day

the interest payment date for the Bonds at
the address indicated or in the Represen-
tation Letter.

each stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon
initial issuance, the ownership of the
Bonds will be registered in the registry
books of the UMB Bank, N.A. kept by the
Paying Agent and Registrar in the name
of Cede and Co., as nominee of DTC. The

suer may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the
sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds
registered in its name for the purposes of
payment of the principal or redemption
price of or interest on the Bonds, selecting
the Bonds or portions to be redeemed,
giving any notice permitted or required to
be given to registered owners of Bonds

Resolution and under the provisions of a
separate agreement with the Issuer filed
herewith which is made a part hereof by
this reference. Registrar shall maintain the

ject to the provisions for registration and
transfer contained in the Bonds and in this
Resolution.
b. Transfer. The ownership of any
Bond may be transferred only upon the
Registration Books kept for the registra-
tion and transfer of Bonds and only upon
surrender thereof at the office of the Reg-
istrar together with an assignment duly ex-
ecuted by the holder or his duly authorized
attorney in fact in such form as shall be
satisfactory to the Registrar, along with
the address and social security number or
federal employer identification number of
such transferee (or, if registration is to be
made in the name of multiple individuals,
of all such transferees). In the event that
the address of the registered owner of a
Bond (other than a registered owner
which is the nominee of the broker or
dealer in question) is that of a broker or
dealer, there must be disclosed on the
Registration Books the information per-
taining to the registered owner required
above. Upon the transfer of any such
Bond, a new fully registered Bond, of any

deemed principal amount of such trans-
ferred fully registered Bond and bearing
interest at the same rate and maturing on
the same date or dates shall be delivered

ment of or on account of the principal of
any such Bonds and the premium, if any,
and interest thereon shall be made only to

thereof or his legal representative. All
such payments shall be valid and effectual
to satisfy and discharge the liability upon
such Bond, including the interest thereon,
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
e. Cancellation. All Bonds which have
been redeemed shall not be reissued but
shall be cancelled by the Registrar. All
Bonds which are cancelled by the Regis-
trar shall be destroyed and a certificate of
the destruction thereof shall be furnished
promptly to the Issuer; provided that if the
Issuer shall so direct, the Registrar shall
forward the cancelled Bonds to the Issuer.
f. Non -Presentment of Bonds. In the
event any payment check, wire, or elec-
tronic transfer of funds representing pay-
ment of principal of or interest on the
Bonds is returned to the Paying Agent or
if any bond is not presented for payment
of principal at the maturity or redemption
date, if funds sufficient to pay such princi-
pal of or interest on Bonds shall have
been made available to the Paying Agent
for the benefit of the owner thereof, all lia-
bility of the Issuer to the owner thereof for
such interest or payment of such Bonds
shall forthwith cease, terminate and be
completely discharged, and thereupon it
shall be the duty of the Paying Agent to
hold such funds, without liability for inter-
est thereon, for the benefit of the owner of
such Bonds who shall thereafter be re-
stricted exclusively to such funds for any
claim of whatever nature on his part under
this Resolution or on, or with respect to,
such interest or Bonds. The Paying
Agent's obligation to hold such funds shall
continue for a period equal to two years
and six months following the date on
which such interest or principal became
due, whether at maturity, or at the date
fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise,

render any remaining funds so held to the
Issuer, whereupon any claim under this
Resolution by the Owners of such interest
or Bonds of whatever nature shall be
made upon the Issuer.
g. Registration and Transfer Fees.
The Registrar may furnish to each owner,
at the Issuer's expense, one bond for each
annual maturity. The Registrar shall fur-
nish additional Bonds in lesser denomina-
tions (but not less than the minimum de-
nomination) to an owner who so requests.

204 Regular Session, May 17, 2021 Book 151

standing Bond shall become mutilated or be de-
stroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at the re-
quest of Registrar authenticate and deliver a
new Bond of like tenor and amount as the Bond
so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in ex-
change and substitution for such mutilated
Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of such mu-
tilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitution for the

ing with such other reasonable regulations as

hereunder unless the Registrar shall duly en-
dorse and execute on such Bond a Certificate
of Authentication substantially in the form of the
Certificate herein set forth. Such Certificate
upon any Bond executed on behalf of the Issuer
shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so
authenticated has been duly issued under this
Resolution and that the holder thereof is entitled
to the benefits of this Resolution.

ered by the Registrar unless and until there

olution, failure of the Issuer to comply with the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not be
considered an event of default under this Res-
olution; however, any holder of the Bonds or
Beneficial Owner may take such actions as may
be necessary and appropriate, including seek-
ing specific performance by court order, to
cause the Issuer to comply with its obligations

bilitation, addition, placement, or other im-
provement, was within 180 days of the
permit date. The actual start means either
the first placement or permanent con-
struction of a structure on a site, such as
pouring of a slab or footings, the installa-
tion of pile, the construction of columns, or
any work beyond the stage of excavation;
or the placement of a factory -built home
on a foundation. Permanent construction
does not include land preparation, such as
clearing, grading, and filling; nor does it in-
clude the installation of streets and/or
walkways; nor does it include excavation
for a basement, footings, piers, or founda-
tions or the erection of temporary forms;
nor does it include the installation on the
property of accessory buildings such as
garages or sheds not occupied as dwell-
ing units or not part of the main structure.

ation of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other
structural part of the building, whether or
not that alteration affects the external di-
mensions of the building.
32. STRUCTURE - Anything con-
structed or erected on the ground or at-
tached to the ground, including, but not
limited to, buildings, factories, sheds, cab-

uses.
33. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE - Damage
of any origin sustained by a structure
whereby the cost of restoring the structure
to its before damage condition would
equal or exceed fifty (50) percent of the
market value of the structure before the
damage occurred. Volunteer labor and
donated materials shall be included in the
estimated cost of repair.
34. SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT -
Any improvement to a structure which sat-
isfies either of the following criteria:
A. Any repair, reconstruction, or im-
provement of a structure, the cost of
which equals or exceeds fifty (50) per-
cent of the market value of the struc-
ture either (i) before the "start of con-
struction" of the improvement, or (ii) if
the structure has been "substantially
damaged" and is being restored, be-
fore the damage occurred. The term
does not, however, include any project
for improvement of a structure to cor-
rect existing violations of state or local
Book 151 Regular Session, June 21, 2021 259
health, sanitary, or safety code speci-
fications which have been identified by
the local code enforcement official and
which are the minimum necessary to
assure safe living conditions. The term
also does not include any alteration of
an "historic structure", provided the al-
teration will not preclude the struc-
ture's designation as an "historic struc-
ture".
B. Any addition which increases the
original floor area of a building by 25
percent or more. All additions con-
structed after the effective date of the
first floodplain management regula-
tions adopted by the community shall
be added to any proposed addition in
determining whether the total increase
in original floor space would exceed
25 percent.
35. VARIANCE - A grant of relief by a
community from the terms of the flood -
plain management regulations.
36. VIOLATION - The failure of a struc-
ture or other development to be fully com-
pliant with the community's floodplain
management regulations.
16-6-4-2: STATUTORY AUTHORITY, FIND-
INGS OF FACT AND PURPOSE:
1. The Legislature of the State of Iowa has
in Chapter 414, Code of Iowa, as amended,
delegated the power to cities to enact zon-
ing regulations to secure safety from flood
and to promote health and the general wel-
fare.
2. Findings of Fact
A. The flood hazard areas of the City of
Dubuque are subject to periodic inunda-
tion which can result in loss of life and
property, health and safety hazards, dis-
ruption of commerce and governmental
services, extraordinary public expendi-
tures for flood protection and relief, and
impairment of the tax base all of which ad-
versely affect the public health, safety,
and general welfare of the community.
B. These flood losses, hazards, and re-
lated adverse effects are caused by: (i)
The occupancy of flood hazard areas by
uses vulnerable to flood damages which
create hazardous conditions as a result of
being inadequately elevated or otherwise
protected from flooding and (ii) the cumu-
lative effect of obstructions on the flood -
plain causing increases in flood heights
and velocities.
C. Section 16-6-4 relies upon engineer-
ing methodology for analyzing flood haz-
ards which is consistent with the stand-
ards established by the Department of
Natural Resources.
3. Statement of Purpose: It is the purpose
of Section 16-6-4 to protect and preserve
the rights, privileges and property of the City
of Dubuque and its residents and to pre-
serve and improve the peace, safety,
health, welfare, and comfort and conven-
ience of its residents by minimizing those
flood losses described in Section 16-6-4-
2(2)(A) of Title 16 Unified Development
Code with provisions designed to:
A. Reserve sufficient floodplain area for
the conveyance of flood flows so that flood
heights and velocities will not be in-
creased substantially.
B. Restrict or prohibit uses which are
dangerous to health, safety, or property in
times of flood or which cause excessive
increases in flood heights or velocities.
C. Require that uses vulnerable to
floods, including public facilities which
serve such uses, be protected against
flood damage at the time of initial con-
struction or substantial improvement.
D. Protect individuals from buying lands
which may not be suited for intended pur-
poses because of flood hazard.
E. Assure that eligibility is maintained for
property owners in the community to pur-
chase flood insurance through the Na-
tional Flood Insurance Program.
16-6-4-3: GENERAL PROVISIONS:
1. Lands to Which Unified Development
Code Section 16-6-4 Apply

10. 120 Floodplain Development Permit
A. Permit Required - A Floodplain De-
velopment Permit issued by the Adminis-
trator shall be secured prior to any flood -
plain development (any man-made
change to improved and unimproved real
estate, including but not limited to build-
ings or other structures, mining, filling,
grading, paving, storage of materials or
equipment, excavation or drilling opera-
tions), including the placement of factory -
built homes.
B. Application for Permit - Application
shall be made on forms furnished by the
Administrator and shall include the follow-
ing:
1) Description of the work to be cov-
ered by the permit for which applica-
tion is to be made.
2) Description of the land on which
the proposed work is to be done (i.e.,
Lot, block, track, street address or
similar description) that will readily
identify and locate the work to be
done.
3) Location and dimensions of all
structures and additions
4) Indication of the use or occupancy
for which the proposed work is in-
tended.
5) Elevation of the base flood.
6) Elevation (in relation to North
American Vertical Datum 1988) of the
lowest floor (including basement) of
structures or of the level to which a
structure is to be floodproofed.

rebuilt, the estimated cost of improve-
ments and market value of the struc-
ture prior to the improvements.
8) Such other information as the Ad-
ministrator deems reasonably neces-
sary (e.g., drawings or a site plan) for
the purpose of Section 16-6-4.
C. Action on Permit Application - The
Administrator shall, within a reasonable
time, make a determination as to whether
the proposed floodplain development
meets the applicable standards of Section
16-6-4 and shall approve or disapprove
the application. For disapprovals, the ap-
plicant shall be informed, in writing, of the
specific reasons, therefore. The Adminis-
trator shall not issue permits for variances
except as directed by the Board of Adjust-
ment.
D. Construction and Use to be as Pro-
vided in Application and Plans - Flood -
plain Development Permits based on the
basis of approved plans and applications
authorize only the use, arrangement, and
construction set forth in such approved
plans and applications and no other use,
arrangement or construction. Any use, ar-
rangement, or construction at variance
with that authorized shall be deemed a vi-
olation of Section 16-6-4. The applicant
shall be required to submit certification by
a professional engineer or land surveyor,
as appropriate, registered in the State of
Iowa, that the finished fill, structure floor
elevations, floodproofing, or other flood
protection measures were accomplished
in compliance with the provisions of Sec-
tion 16-6-4, prior to the use or occupancy
of any structure.
16-6-4-5: ESTABLISHMENT OF FLOOD -
PLAIN (OVERLAY) DISTRICTS:
The floodplain areas within the jurisdiction of
Section 16-6-4 are hereby divided into the fol-
lowing districts:
1. Floodway (Overlay) District (FW) -
those areas identified as Floodway on the
Official Floodplain Zoning Map;
2. Floodway Fringe (Overlay) District (FF)
- those areas identified as Zone AE on the
Official Floodplain Zoning Map but exclud-
ing those areas identified as Floodway;
3. General Floodplain (Overlay) District
(GF) - those areas identified as Zone A on
the Official Floodplain Zoning Map.
The boundaries shall be as shown on the
Official Floodplain Zoning Map. Within
these districts, all uses not allowed as Per-
mitted Uses are prohibited unless a vari-
ance to the terms of Section 16-6-4 is
granted after due consideration by the
Board of Adjustment.
16-6-4-6: FLOODWAY (OVERLAY) DIS-
TRICT (FW):
1. Permitted Uses
All development within the Floodway Dis-
trict shall be permitted to the extent that they
are not prohibited by any other ordinance
(or underlying zoning district) and provided
they meet applicable performance stand-
ards of the Floodway District.
2. Performance Standards
All Floodway District uses allowed as a
Permitted Use shall meet the following
standards.
262 Regular Session, June 21, 2021 Book 151
A. No development shall be permitted in
the Floodway District that would result in
any increase in the base flood elevation.
Consideration of the effects of any devel-
opment on flood levels shall be based
upon the assumption that an equal degree
of development would be allowed for sim-
ilarly situated lands.
B. All development within the Floodway
District shall:
1) Be consistent with the need to
minimize flood damage.
2) Use construction methods and
practices that will minimize flood dam-
age.
3) Use construction materials and
utility equipment that are resistant to
flood damage.
C. No development shall affect the ca-
pacity or conveyance of the channel or
floodway of any tributary to the main-
stream, drainage ditch or any other drain-
age facility or system.
D. Structures, buildings, recreational ve-
hicles, and sanitary and utility systems, if
permitted, shall meet the applicable per-
formance standards of the Floodway
Fringe District and shall be constructed or
aligned to present the minimum possible
resistance to flood flows.
E. Structures, if permitted, shall have a
low flood damage potential and shall not
be for human habitation.
F. Storage of materials or equipment
that are buoyant, flammable, explosive or
injurious to human, animal or plant life is
prohibited. Storage of other material may
be allowed if readily removable from the
Floodway District within the time available
after flood warning.
G. Watercourse alterations or reloca-
tions (channel changes and modifications)
must be designed to maintain the flood
carrying capacity within the altered or re-
located portion. In addition, such altera-
tions or relocations must be approved by
the Department of Natural Resources.
H. Any fill allowed in the floodway must
be shown to have some beneficial pur-
pose and shall be limited to the minimum
amount necessary.
I. Pipeline river or stream crossings shall
be buried in the streambed and banks or
otherwise sufficiently protected to prevent
rupture due to channel degradation and
meandering or due to the action of flood
flows.
16-6-4-7: FLOODWAY FRINGE (OVERLAY)
DISTRICT FF:
1. Permitted Uses
All development within the Floodway
Fringe District shall be permitted to the ex-
tent that they are not prohibited by any other
ordinance (or underlying zoning district) and
provided they meet applicable performance
standards of the Floodway Fringe District.
2. Performance Standards
All development must be consistent with
the need to minimize flood damage and
meet the following applicable performance
standards. Until a regulatory floodway is
designated, no development may increase
the Base Flood Elevation more than one (1)
foot. The applicant will be responsible for
providing the Department of Natural Re-
sources with sufficient technical information
to make such determination.
A. All development shall:
1) Be designed and adequately an-
chored to prevent flotation, collapse,
or lateral movement.
2) Use construction methods and
practices that will minimize flood dam-
age.
3) Use construction materials and
utility equipment that are resistant to
flood damage.
B. Residential structures - All new or
substantially improved residential struc-
tures shall have the lowest floor, including
basement, elevated a minimum of one (1)
foot above the base flood elevation. Con-
struction shall be upon compacted fill
which shall, at all points, be no lower than
1.0 ft. above the base flood elevation and
extend at such elevation at least 18 feet
beyond the limits of any structure erected
thereon. Alternate methods of elevating
(such as piers or extended foundations)
may be allowed where existing topogra-
phy, street grades, or other factors pre-
clude elevating by fill. In such cases, the
methods used must be adequate to sup-
port the structure as well as withstand the
various forces and hazards associated
with flooding. All new residential struc-
tures located in areas that would become
isolated due to flooding of surrounding
ground shall be provided with a means of
access that will be passable by wheeled
vehicles during the base flood. However,
this criterion shall not apply where the Ad-
ministrator determines there is sufficient
flood warning time for the protection of life
and property. When estimating flood
warning time, consideration shall be given
to the criteria listed in 567-75.2(3), Iowa
Administrative Code.
C. Non-residential structures - All new or
substantially improved non-residential
structures shall have the lowest floor (in-
cluding basement) elevated a minimum of
one (1) foot above the base flood eleva-
tion, or together with attendant utility and
sanitary systems, be floodproofed to such
a level. When floodproofing is utilized, a
Book 151 Regular Session, June 21, 2021 263
professional engineer registered in the
State of Iowa shall certify that the flood -
proofing methods used are adequate to
withstand the flood depths, pressures, ve-
locities, impact and uplift forces and other
factors associated with the base flood;
and that the structure, below the base
flood elevation is watertight with walls
substantially impermeable to the passage
of water. A record of the certification indi-
cating the specific elevation (in relation to
North American Vertical Datum 1988) to
which any structures are floodproofed
shall be maintained by the Administrator.
D. All new and substantially improved
structures
1) Fully enclosed areas below the
"lowest floor" (not including base-
ments) that are subject to flooding
shall be designed to automatically
equalize hydrostatic flood forces on
exterior walls by allowing for the entry
and exit of floodwaters. Designs for
meeting this requirement must either
be certified by a registered profes-
sional engineer or meet or exceed the
following minimum criteria:

established which shall hear and decide (i)
appeals and (ii) requests for variances to
the provisions of Section 16-6-4 and shall
take any other action which is required of
the Board.
2. Appeals - Where it is alleged there is
any error in any order, requirement, deci-
sion, or determination made by an adminis-
trative official in the enforcement of Section
16-6-4, the aggrieved party may appeal
such action. The notice of appeal shall be
filed with the Board of Adjustment and with
the official from whom the appeal is taken
and shall set forth the specific reason for the
appeal. The official from whom the appeal is
taken shall transmit to the Board of Adjust-
ment all the documents constituting the rec-
ord upon which the action appealed from
was taken.
3. Variance - The Board of Adjustment
may authorize upon request in specific
cases such variances from the terms of
Section 16-6-4 that will not be contrary to
the public interest where, owing to special
conditions, a literal enforcement of the pro-
visions of Section 16-6-4 will result in un-
necessary hardship. Variances granted
must meet the following applicable stand-
ards:
A. Variances shall only be granted upon:
(i) a showing of good and sufficient cause,
(ii) a determination that failure to grant the
variance would result in exceptional hard-
ship to the applicant, and (iii) a determina-
tion that the granting of the variance will
not result in increased flood heights, addi-
tional threats to public safety, extraordi-
nary public expense, create nuisances,
cause fraud on or victimization of the pub-
lic or conflict with existing local codes or
ordinances.
B. Variances shall not be issued within
any designated floodway if any increase in
flood levels during the base flood would
result. Consideration of the effects of any
development on flood levels shall be
based upon the assumption that an equal
degree of development would be allowed
for similarly situated lands.
C. Variances shall only be granted upon
a determination that the variance is the
minimum necessary, considering the flood
hazard, to afford relief.
D. In cases where the variance involves
a lower level of flood protection for struc-
tures than what is ordinarily required by
266 Regular Session, June 21, 2021 Book 151

opment Code Section 16-6-4 or failure to com-
ply with any of the requirements (including vio-
lations of conditions and safeguards estab-
lished in connection with grants of Variances)

Radford Road Reconstruction Project. Se-
conded by Sprank. Jim Weber, property owner
of 4300 Chavenelle Road, and Tonya Millard,
Executive Director of the Dubuque Humane So-
ciety, 4242 Chavenelle Road, spoke in opposi-
tion to the project, stating inequities in the as-
sessments for the property owners of this pro-
ject versus the property owners affected by the
extension of a hiking and biking trail on Radford
Road. Additionally, concerns were stated on the
financial burden of the assessment for non-
profits. Responding to questions from the City
Council, City Manager Van Milligen stated that
it is standard practice for non -profits to be as-
sessed in the same manner as all other prop-
erty owners, and that a grant awarded for the
mentioned hiking and biking trail eliminated the
requirement for property owners affected by
that assessment to pay. City Engineer Gus Psi-
hoyos stated that property owners can contract
with private companies on their own to install
the sidewalks, which has a potential cost sav-
ings of up to 25%. Mr. Psihoyos also stated that
the property owners will have up to 15 years at
3% interest to pay back the assessment if the
project is done through the city. City Attorney
Brumwell stated that per Iowa state code, if as-
sessments are provided to the County after
May of 2022, then the assessments to the prop-
erty owner will not be due until July 1, 2023.
Civil Engineer Jon Dienst summarized the spe-
cial assessment state code section. City Clerk
Breitfelder confirmed that no public input was
received by the City Clerk's Office on this item.
City Council discussed the necessity of side-
walks and encouraged the community to assist
with funding for the impacted non -profits. Mo-
tion carried 7-0.

of the Bonds, unless the Issuer determines
to permit the exchange of Depository Bonds
for Bonds in the Authorized Denominations,
the Bonds shall be issued as Depository
Bonds in denominations of the entire princi-

nual interest for any Depository Bond shall

Clearing House or equivalent next day
funds to the account of Cede and Co. on the
interest payment date for the Bonds at the
address indicated in or pursuant to the Rep-
resentation Letter.
b. With respect to Depository Bonds,
neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall
have any responsibility or obligation to any
Participant or to any Beneficial Owner.
Without limiting the immediately preceding
sentence, neither the Issuer nor the Paying
Agent shall have any responsibility or obli-
gation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the
records of DTC or its nominee or of any Par-
ticipant with respect to any ownership inter-
est in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Par-
ticipant, any Beneficial Owner or any other
person, other than DTC or its nominee, of

or its nominee, of any amount with respect
to the principal of, premium, if any, or inter-
est on the Bonds, or (iv) the failure of DTC
to provide any information or notification on
behalf of any Participant or Beneficial
Owner.
The Issuer and the Paying Agent may
treat DTC or its nominee as, and deem DTC
or its nominee to be, the absolute owner of
each Bond for the purpose of payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on such Bond, for the purpose of all other
matters with respect to such Bond, for the
purpose of registering transfers with respect
to such Bonds, and for all other purposes
whatsoever (except for the giving of certain
Bondholder consents, in accordance with
the practices and procedures of DTC as
may be applicable thereto). The Paying
Agent shall pay all principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Bonds only to or
upon the order of the Bondholders as shown
on the Registration Books, and all such pay-
ments shall be valid and effective to fully
satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obliga-
tions with respect to the principal of, pre-
mium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to
the extent so paid. Notwithstanding the pro-
visions of this Resolution to the contrary (in-
cluding without limitation those provisions
relating to the surrender of Bonds, registra-
tion thereof, and issuance in Authorized De-
nominations), as long as the Bonds are De-
pository Bonds, full effect shall be given to
the Representation Letter and the proce-
dures and practices of DTC thereunder, and
the Paying Agent shall comply therewith.
c. Upon (i) a determination by the Issuer
that DTC is no longer able to carry out its
functions or is otherwise determined unsat-
isfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC that
the Bonds are no longer eligible for its de-
pository services or (iii) a determination by
the Paying Agent that DTC has resigned or
discontinued its services for the Bonds, if
such substitution is authorized by law, the
Issuer shall (A) designate a satisfactory
substitute depository as set forth below or,
if a satisfactory substitute is not found, (B)
provide for the exchange of Depository
Bonds for replacement Bonds in Authorized
Denominations.
d. To the extent authorized by law, if the
Issuer determines to provide for the ex-
change of Depository Bonds for Bonds in
Authorized Denominations, the Issuer shall
so notify the Paying Agent and shall provide
the Registrar with a supply of executed un-
authenticated Bonds to be so exchanged.
The Registrar shall thereupon notify the
owners of the Bonds and provide for such
exchange, and to the extent that the Bene-
ficial Owners are designated as the trans-
feree by the owners, the Bonds will be de-
livered in appropriate form, content and Au-
thorized Denominations to the Beneficial
Owners, as their interests appear.
e. Any substitute depository shall be
designated in writing by the Issuer to the
Paying Agent. Any such substitute deposi-
tory shall be a qualified and registered
"clearing agency" as provided in Section
17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. The substitute depository
shall provide for (i) immobilization of the De-
pository Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer
of interests in Depository Bonds by book en-
tries made on records of the depository or
its nominee and (iii) payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
in accordance with and as such interests
may appear with respect to such book en-
tries.

tered owner which is the nominee of the bro-
ker or dealer in question) is that of a broker

ing to the registered owner required above.

all purposes, and payment of or on account
of the principal of any such Bonds and the
premium, if any, and interest thereon shall
be made only to or upon the order of the
registered owner thereof or his legal repre-
sentative. All such payments shall be valid
and effectual to satisfy and discharge the li-
ability upon such Bond, including the inter-
est thereon, to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
e. Cancellation. All Bonds which have
been redeemed shall not be reissued but
shall be cancelled by the Registrar. All
Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar
shall be destroyed and a certificate of the

Book 151 Regular Session, August 2, 2021 313
To the best knowledge and belief of the Is-
suer, there are no facts or circumstances that
would materially change the foregoing state-
ments or the conclusion that it is not expected
that the proceeds of the Bonds will be used in a
manner that would cause the Bonds to be arbi-
trage bonds. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Issuer hereby agrees to com-
ply with the provisions of the Tax Exemption
Certificate and the provisions of the Tax Ex-
emption Certificate are hereby incorporated by
reference as part of this Resolution. The Treas-

certify as to the reasonable expectations and
covenants of the Issuer at that date.
The Issuer covenants that it will treat as
Yield Restricted any proceeds of the Bonds re-
maining unexpended after three years from the
issuance and any other funds required by the
Tax Exemption Certificate to be so treated. If
any investments are held with respect to the
Bonds and Parity Bonds, the Issuer shall treat
the same for the purpose of restricted yield as
held in proportion to the original principal
amounts of each issue.
The Issuer covenants that it will exceed any
investment yield restriction provided in this Res-
olution only in the event that it shall first obtain
an opinion of recognized bond counsel that the
proposed investment action will not cause the
Bonds to be classified as arbitrage bonds under
Section 148(a) and (b) of the Internal Revenue
Code or regulations issued thereunder.
The Issuer covenants that it will proceed
with due diligence to spend the proceeds of the
Bonds for the purpose set forth in this Resolu-
tion. The Issuer further covenants that it will
make no change in the use of the proceeds
available for the construction of facilities or
change in the use of any portion of the facilities
constructed therefrom by persons other than
the Issuer or the general public unless it has ob-
tained an opinion of bond counsel or a revenue
ruling that the proposed project or use will not
be of such character as to cause interest on any
of the Bonds not to be exempt from federal in-
come taxes in the hands of holders other than
substantial users of the project, under the pro-
visions of Section 142(a) of the Internal Reve-
nue Code of the United States, related statutes
and regulations.
Section 18. Additional Covenants, Repre-
sentations and Warranties of the Issuer. The Is-

(a) will make such further specific covenants,
representations and assurances as may be

resentations, covenants and assurances con-
tained in the Tax Exemption Certificate, which
Tax Exemption Certificate shall constitute a part
of the contract between the Issuer and the own-
ers of the Bonds; (c) consult with bond counsel
(as defined in the Tax Exemption Certificate);
(d) pay to the United States, as necessary, such
sums of money representing required rebates
of excess arbitrage profits relating to the Bonds;
(e) file such forms, statements and supporting
documents as may be required and in a timely
manner; and (f) if deemed necessary or advis-
able by its officers, to employ and pay fiscal
agents, financial advisors, attorneys and other
persons to assist the Issuer in such compliance.
Section 19. Severability. If any section, par-
agraph, or provision of this Resolution shall be
held to be invalid or unenforceable for any rea-
son, the invalidity or unenforceability of such
section, paragraph or provision shall not affect
any of the remaining provisions.

plated on the part of the City by this Series Res-
olution, including, but not limited to, the Tax Ex-
emption Certificate.

cate are hereby approved and incorporated by
reference as part of this Resolution and made a

standing any other provision of this Resolution,

ing Disclosure Certificate shall not be consid-
ered an event of default under this Resolution;
however, any holder of the Bonds or Beneficial
Owner may take such actions as may be nec-
essary and appropriate, including seeking spe-
cific performance by court order, to cause the
Issuer to comply with its obligations under the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate. For purposes
of this Section, 'Beneficial Owner" means any
person which
(a) has the power, directly or indirectly, to

PUBLIC INPUT
Related to Action Item No. 3, Randy and
Mimi Vaassen, 9843 Katie Cove; Steve Peters,
9878 Katie Cove; and Mike Oppelt, 9909 Katie
Cove, spoke in opposition to the city's proposal
to purchase the property, expressing concerns
over lack of communication to surrounding
property owners and the potential impacts of in-
dustrial development in the area. City Clerk
Breitfelder stated that she received an email
from Mr. Peters with concerns about the impact
of property owners and that the email was for-
warded to the City Council.

spoke about concerns with the city's interpreta-
tion of a housing ordinance requiring him to ob-
tain a rental license for a property he purchased
at 2206 Southway under the entity Old Mule,
LLC for use by his parents. Mr. Wagner stated
a rental license should not apply in this situation
because he is not charging rent. Mr. Wagner re-
quested the city drop their lawsuit against him
and to enact an ordinance that applies to his sit-
uation.
Responding to a question from the City
Council regarding next steps, City Manager
Van Milligen stated that future public hearings
