ING ARTICLE 11 LAND SUBDIVISION TO
ADD COMPLETE STREETS POLICY LAN-
GUAGE
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED
BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DUBUQUE, IOWA:
Section 1. That Title 16 of the City of
Dubuque Code of Ordinances, Unified Devel-
opment Code, Article 11 -15(K) is hereby
amended as follows:
K. Complete Streets Policy
General: The City's Comprehensive Plan
supports the development of a comprehensive
bike /hike trail system to provide multi -modal
transportation for the City. Streets that are
designed for only cars limit transportation
choices by making walking, bicycling and tak-
ing public transportation inconvenient, unat-
tractive and potentially dangerous. The City
currently implements curb ramp, sidewalk,
signage and trail projects that support the im-
plementation of Complete Street design. The
City's Complete Streets Policy will take into
account the potential for additional cost asso-
ciated with the construction of Complete
Streets and recognizes that not every new
public street will be suitable for implementing
all aspects of Complete Street design. Plan-
ning staff will review application of Complete
Street design as part of the major subdivision
review process.
Complete Street Design Goals:
Design and construct new streets in antici-
pation of increased demand for bicycling, walk-
ing and transit facilities.
Design and construct new streets that al-
low for future improvements to accommodate
Complete Street design attributes, such as
provision of extra right -of -way to accommodate
an off - street bike trail in the future.
New public streets that implement all or
some components of Complete Street design
shall utilize standards found in the following
design guidelines:
AASHTO (American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials)
SUDAS (Statewide Urban Design and
Specifications Program)
Federal Highway Administration
ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers)
Complete Street Applications:
Most collector and arterial streets are con-
structed /reconstructed by the City of Dubuque
and hence application of Complete Street de-
sign criteria will be handled through the City's
internal design and approval process.
Local residential streets in most new residen-
tial subdivisions will incorporate some Com-
plete Street design criteria, such as sidewalks
on both sides of the street, curb ramps at in-
tersection corners, etc.
Collector streets within new subdivision, in
addition to above, may restrict driveway ac-
cess to side streets to facilitate on- street bike
trails, could include wide sidewalks and park-
ways to facilitate walking.
Section 2. The foregoing amendment has
heretofore been reviewed by the Zoning Advi-
sory Commission of the City of Dubuque, Io-
wa.
Section 3. This ordinance shall take effect
immediately upon publication, as provided by
law.
Passed, approved and adopted this 17th
day of January, 2012.

334.10 Uses Permitted
Type NM, Type NMC, and Type NMS cables
shall be permitted to be used in the following:
(1) One- and two- family dwellings This sec-
tion was revised for the 2011 Code to clarify
that the requirements for the use of nonmetal-
24 Regular Session January 17, 2012 Book 142
lic- sheathed cable in garages of one- and two -
family dwellings apply regardless of whether
the garage is attached or detached. The same
requirements also apply to detached sheds or
storage buildings associated with one- and
two- family dwellings.
(2) Multifamily dwellings, two (2) stories or
less in height, permitted to be of Types III, IV,
and V construction except as prohibited in
334.12.
(3) Other residential or accessory struc-
tures, two (2) stories or less in height, permit-
ted to be of Types III, IV, and V construction
except as prohibited in 334.12. Cables shall be
concealed within walls, floors, or ceilings that
provide a thermal barrier of material that has at
least a fifteen (15) minute finish rating as iden-
tified in listings of fire -rated assemblies.
(4) Manufactured buildings as defined and
regulated in Article 545 of the National Electri-
cal Code. Manufactured buildings must comply
with the provisions of Article 545.
A well - established means of codifying fire
protection and fire safety requirements is to
classify buildings by types of construction,
based on materials used for the structural el-
ements and the degree of fire resistance af-
forded by each element. The five fundamental
construction types used by the model building
codes are Type I (fire resistive), Type II (non-
combustible), Type III (combination of combus-
tible and noncombustible), Type IV (heavy
timber), and Type V (wood frame). Types I and
II basically require all structural elements to be
noncombustible, whereas Types III, IV, and V
allow some or all of the structural elements to
be combustible (wood).
The selection of building construction types
is regulated by the local building code, based
on the occupancy, height, and area of the
building. When a building of a selected height
On feet or stories above grade) and area is
permitted to be built of combustible construc-
tion (i.e., Types III, IV, or V), the installation of
nonmetallic- sheathed cable is permitted. The
common areas (corridors) and incidental and
subordinate uses (laundry rooms, lounge
rooms, etc.) that serve a multifamily dwelling
occupancy are also considered part of the
multifamily occupancy, thereby allowing the
use of nonmetallic- sheathed cable in those
areas.
If a building is to be of noncombustible
construction (i.e., Type I or II) by the owner's
choice, even though the building code would
permit combustible construction, the building is
allowed to be wired with nonmetallic- sheathed
cable. In such an instance, nonmetallic -

ATE will be a matter of public record with
changes, city entry points and enforcement
areas well publicized;
Review of the system: moment of violation
through notification and owner options includ-
ing violator options such as watching video of
the infractions, contesting the fine, and /or pay-
ing the fine;
Additional benefits: live feed capability,
post - accident/incident review, criminal investi-
gations review;
What ATE does not do: eliminate traffic
violations, street investigations or eliminate the
need for a physical officer.
City Council discussion included infor-
mation on the City's current traffic manage-
ment system, information on establishment of
fines and clarification of criminal fines vs. civil
infractions; state and local fine requirements
and jurisdiction; definitions and current en-
forcement of yellow /red lights; local control and

times and calculating ITE formulas (Institute of
Transportation Engineers). Examples of red
light accidents at Dubuque intersection.
Responding to questions from City Council,
City Engineer Gus Psihoyos stated that the
department does not have statistical profile
data on accidents and the current camera sys-
tem is set for vehicle detection and not acci-
dents or traffic enforcement. City Council dis-
cussion included questions on signaled inter-
sections vs. four -way stops; modification of
yellow /red light clearance times; intentional vs.
unintentional red light violations; and con-
sistency throughout the City.
Recommended Vendor Presentation
Aaron Rosenberg, Executive Vice Presi-
dent for Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc., provided
Book 142 Special Session,
January 30, 2012 27
background information on the company and
outlined its credentials stating that is has 20-
plus years of uninterrupted experience in 25
states and Canada including 50 municipalities
in Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois, Mr. Rosenberg a
slide presentation that highlighted the following
topics:
• Traffic Safety Coalition tool kit;
• Crash /violation video samples;
• U.S. fatality statistics from speed and
red light accidents;
• Intersections are a Planned point of
conflict;
• Dubuque accidents statistics;
• Evaluating red light running programs in
Iowa;
• Public safety benefits results and statis-
tics from the Arizona Department of
Public Safety and City of Columbus,
Ohio;
• HALO collision avoidance technology.
The ATE System is meant to be used just
as other traffic enforcement designs are uti-
lized to raise cognition through signage and
behavior modification. The system will not arm
until the red light is engaged.
ABC: antecedents, behaviors, conse-
quences;
A: impatient, rushed, distracted;
B: Stop (desired); Run (undesired);
C: Punishment.
Redflex has access to DMV of all 50 states
strict screening guidelines. No ticket is sent out
until Dubuque Police review or reject the viola-
tion; Mailed notifications include a URL /video
link, photo images, and a call center number
with trained personal. Violators may ap-
peal /pay the violation or nominate another
driver who is responsible for the violation. Most
states adhere to civil infractions that have the
same rights and privileges as a parking ticket.
Examples the website from the violator and
police perspectives were provided.
Public outreach — template driven technology,
branding, website development, and common
consistent messaging.
Responding to questions from City Council,
Mr. Rosenberg stated that Reflex is responsi-
ble for all up- front. Pricing is determined in
many ways and is established per contract
such as fixed fees or a percentage of paid
violations. Other discussion included local au-
thority to review violations, violations that are
not safety issues, the need for camera's in
Dubuque will be determined through
crash /violation history and actual occurrence
video, review of other design issues /options,
reasons for removing the system as compared
to other cities, "big brother" syndrome, next
steps, and monitoring proposed legislation.
Following discussion the City Council
reached consensus on having staff continue
negotiations with the recommended vendor
and await the outcome of proposed state legis-
lation regarding the subject of automated traf-
fic enforcement.
There being no further business, upon motion
the City Council adjourned at 8:22 p.m.

62 Regular Session, February 20, 2012 Book 142
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 the 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); and such
Depository Bonds shall be registered in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
Payment of semi - annual interest for any
Depository Bond shall be made by wire
transfer or New York Clearing House or
equivalent next day funds to the account of
Cede & Co. on the interest payment date for
the Bonds at the address indicated in or
pursuant to the Representation 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 obligation with
respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of
DTC or its nominee or of any Participant with
respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds,
(ii) the delivery to any Participant, any
Beneficial Owner or any other person, other
than DTC or its nominee, of any notice with
respect to the Bonds, (iii) the payment to any
Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other
person, other than DTC or its nominee, of any
amount with respect to the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest 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 Bond holder
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 payments shall be valid
and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the
Issuer's obligations with respect to the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds to the extent so paid. Notwithstand-
ing the provisions of this Resolution to the con-
trary (including without limitation those provi-
sions relating to the surrender of Bonds, regis-
tration thereof, and issuance in Authorized
Denominations), as long as the Bonds are
Depository Bonds, full effect shall be given to
the Representation Letter and the procedures

entry upon the books kept for the registration
and transfer of ownership of the Bonds, and in
no other way. Wells Fargo Bank, National As-
Book 142 Regular Session February 20, 2012 63
sociation is hereby appointed as Bond Regis-
trar 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 regis-
tration of ownership of the Bonds for the pay-
ment of principal of and interest on the Bonds
as provided in this Resolution. All Bonds shall
be negotiable as provided in Article 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 Resolution.
(b) Transfer. The ownership of any Bond
may be transferred only upon the Registration
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 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 pertaining
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 Resolution in
aggregate principal amount equal to the
unmatured and unredeemed principal 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
practicable time, on the Registration Books,
the Bonds, in accordance with the provisions
of this Resolution.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the person
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 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 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 forward the
cancelled Bonds to the Issuer.
(f) Non - Presentment of Bonds. In the event
any payment check representing payment 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 principal of or interest on Bonds
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 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 interest thereon, for the
benefit of the owner of such Bonds who shall
thereafter be restricted 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
Agents 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 surrender 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 furnish additional
bonds in lesser denominations (but not less
than the minimum denomination) to an owner
who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated,
Destroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and
deliver a new Bond of like tenor and amount
as the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of
such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and
substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or
lost, upon filing with the Registrar evidence
satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that
such Bond has been destroyed, stolen or lost
and proof of ownership thereof, and upon
furnishing the Registrar and Issuer with
satisfactory indemnity and complying with such
64 Regular Session, February 20, 2012 Book 142
other reasonable regulations as the Issuer or
its agent may prescribe and paying such ex-
penses as the Issuer may incur in connection
therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of
principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond,
shall be made to the registered holder thereof
or to their designated agent as the same
appear on the books of the Registrar on the
15th day of the month preceding the payment
date. All such payments shall fully discharge
the obligations of the Issuer in respect of such
Bonds to the extent of the payments so made.
Payment of principal shall only be made upon
surrender of the Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 11. Execution, Authentication and
Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of
this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall
execute and deliver the Bonds to the
Registrar, who shall authenticate the Bonds
and deliver the same to or upon order of the
Purchaser. No Bond shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled
to any right or benefit hereunder unless the
Registrar shall duly endorse 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.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and
delivered by the Registrar unless and until
there shall have been provided the following:
1. A certified copy of the Resolution of
Issuer authorizing the issuance of the Bonds;

[provided]:
Section 14. Contract Between Issuer and
Purchaser. This Resolution constitutes a
contract between said City and the purchaser
of the Bonds.
Section 15. Non - Arbitrage Covenants. The
Issuer reasonably expects and covenants that
no use will be made of the proceeds from the
issuance and sale of the Bonds issued here-
under which will cause any of the Bonds to be
classified as arbitrage bonds within the mean-
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
Bonds it will comply with the requirements of
statutes and regulations issued thereunder.
To the best knowledge and belief of the Issuer,
there are no facts or circumstances that would
materially change the foregoing statements or
the conclusion that it is not expected that the
proceeds of the Bonds will be used in a man-
ner that would cause the Bonds to be arbitrage
bonds. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Issuer hereby agrees to comply
with the provisions of the Tax Exemption Cer-
tificate and the provisions of the Tax Exemp-
tion Certificate are hereby incorporated by
reference as part of this Resolution. The
Treasurer is hereby directed to make and in-
sert all calculations and determinations neces-
sary to complete the Tax Exemption Certificate
in all respects and to execute and deliver the
Tax Exemption Certificate at issuance of the
Bonds to certify as to the reasonable expecta-
tions and covenants of the Issuer at that date.
Section 16. Additional Covenants, Repre-
sentations and Warranties of the Issuer. The
Issuer certifies and covenants with the pur-
chasers 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 representations, covenants and assur-
ances contained in the Tax Exemption Certifi-
cate, which Tax Exemption Certificate shall
constitute a part of the contract between the
Issuer and the owners of the Bonds;(c) consult
with bond counsel (as defined in the Tax Ex-
emption Certificate); (d) pay to the United
States, as necessary, such sums of money
representing required rebates of excess arbi-
trage 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 advisable by its
officers, to employ and pay fiscal agents, fi-
nancial advisors, attorneys and other persons
to assist the Issuer in such compliance.
Section 17. Amendment of Resolution to
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
applicable Federal law or regulations.
Section 18. Continuing Disclosure. The Is-
Book 142 Regular Session February 20, 2012 65
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
Certificate are hereby incorporated by
reference as part of this Resolution and made
a part hereof. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Resolution, failure of the
Issuer to comply with the Continuing
Disclosure Certificate shall not be considered
an event of default under this Resolution;
however, any holder of the Bonds or Beneficial
Owner may take such actions as may be
necessary and appropriate, including seeking
specific performance by court order, to cause
the Issuer to comply with its obligations under
the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. For

section, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect any of the remaining provisions
hereof, and this Resolution shall become
effective immediately upon its passage and
approval.
Section 20. Repeal of Conflicting
Resolutions or Ordinances. That all ordinances
and resolutions and parts of ordinances and
resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby

be par, plus accrued interest to date of call.
Thirty days' notice of redemption shall be

Section 8. 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 the 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); and such
Depository Bonds shall be registered in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
Payment of semi - annual interest for any
Depository Bond shall be made by wire
transfer or New York Clearing House or
equivalent next day funds to the account of
Cede & Co. on the interest payment date for
the Bonds at the address indicated in or
pursuant to the Representation 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 obligation with
respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of
DTC or its nominee or of any Participant with
respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds,
(ii) the delivery to any Participant, any
Beneficial Owner or any other person, other
than DTC or its nominee, of any notice with
respect to the Bonds, (iii) the payment to any
Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other
person, other than DTC or its nominee, of any
amount with respect to the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest 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 Bond holder
consents, in accordance with the practices and
procedures of DTC as may be applicable
Book 142 Regular Session February 20, 2012 69
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 payments shall be valid
and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the
Issuer's obligations with respect to the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds to the extent so paid.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Resolution to the contrary (including without
limitation those provisions relating to the
surrender of Bonds, registration thereof, and
issuance in Authorized Denominations), as
long as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full
effect shall be given to the Representation
Letter and the procedures 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
unsatisfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC
that the Bonds are no longer eligible for its
depository 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 exchange
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 unauthenticated
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 Beneficial Owners are designated as
the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will be
delivered in appropriate form, content and
Authorized 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 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 Depository Bonds, (ii)
registration and transfer of interests in
Depository Bonds by book entries 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 entries.
Section 9. Registration of Bonds;
Appointment of Registrar; Transfer;
Ownership; Delivery; and Cancellation.
(a) Registration. The ownership of Bonds
may be transferred only by the making of an
entry upon the books kept for the registration
and transfer of ownership of the Bonds, and in
no other way. Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association 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 registration 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 Article 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 Resolution.
(b) Transfer. The ownership of any Bond
may be transferred only upon the Registration
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 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 pertaining
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 Resolution in
aggregate principal amount equal to the
unmatured and unredeemed principal 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
practicable time, on the Registration Books,
the Bonds, in accordance with the provisions
of this Resolution.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the person
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
70 Regular Session, February 20, 2012 Book 142
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 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 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 forward the
cancelled Bonds to the Issuer.
(f) Non - Presentment of Bonds. In the event
any payment check representing payment 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 principal of or interest on Bonds
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 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 interest thereon, for the
benefit of the owner of such Bonds who shall
thereafter be restricted 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
Agents 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 surrender 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 furnish additional
bonds in lesser denominations (but not less
than the minimum denomination) to an owner
who so requests.
Section 10. Reissuance of Mutilated,
Destroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and
deliver a new Bond of like tenor and amount
as the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of
such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and
substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or
lost, upon filing with the Registrar evidence
satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that
such Bond has been destroyed, stolen or lost
and proof of ownership thereof, and upon
furnishing the Registrar and Issuer with
satisfactory indemnity and complying with such
other reasonable regulations as the Issuer or
its agent may prescribe and paying such
expenses as the Issuer may incur in
connection therewith.
Section 11. Record Date. Payments of
principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond,
shall be made to the registered holder thereof
or to their designated agent as the same
appear on the books of the Registrar on the
15th day of the month preceding the payment
date. All such payments shall fully discharge
the obligations of the Issuer in respect of such
Bonds to the extent of the payments so made.
Payment of principal shall only be made upon
surrender of the Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 12. Execution, Authentication and
Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of
this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall
execute and deliver the Bonds to the
Registrar, who shall authenticate the Bonds
and deliver the same to or upon order of the
Purchaser. No Bond shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled
to any right or benefit hereunder unless the
Registrar shall duly endorse 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.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and
delivered by the Registrar unless and until
there shall have been provided the following:
1. A certified copy of the Resolution of
Issuer authorizing the issuance of the Bonds;
2. A written order of Issuer signed by the
Treasurer of the Issuer directing the
authentication and delivery of the Bonds to or
upon the order of the Purchaser upon payment
of the purchase price as set forth therein;
3. The approving opinion of Ahlers &
Cooney, P.C., Bond Counsel, concerning the
validity and legality of all the Bonds proposed
to be issued.
Section 13. Right to Name Substitute
Paying Agent or Registrar. Issuer reserves the
right to name a substitute, successor Registrar
or Paying Agent upon giving prompt written
Book 142 Regular Session February 20, 2012 71
notice to each registered bondholder.
Section 14. Form of Bond. Bonds shall be
printed in substantial compliance with
standards proposed by the American
Standards Institute substantially in the form as
[provided].
Section 15. Contract Between Issuer and
Purchaser. This Resolution constitutes a
contract between said City and the purchaser
of the Bonds.
Section 16. Non - Arbitrage Covenants. The
Issuer reasonably expects and covenants that
no use will be made of the proceeds from the
issuance and sale of the Bonds issued
hereunder which will cause any of the Bonds
to be classified as arbitrage bonds within the
meaning of Sections 148(a) and (b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of the United States,
as amended, and that throughout the term of
the Bonds it will comply with the requirements
of statutes and regulations issued thereunder.
To the best knowledge and belief of the
Issuer, there are no facts or circumstances
that would materially change the foregoing
statements 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 arbitrage bonds. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer
hereby agrees to comply with the provisions of
the Tax Exemption Certificate and the
provisions of the Tax Exemption Certificate are
hereby incorporated by reference as part of
this Resolution. The Treasurer is hereby
directed to make and insert all calculations and
determinations necessary to complete the Tax
Exemption Certificate in all respects and to
execute and deliver 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 17. Additional Covenants,
Representations and Warranties of the Issuer.
The Issuer certifies and covenants with the
purchasers 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 representations, covenants and
assurances contained in the Tax Exemption
Certificate, which Tax Exemption Certificate
shall constitute a part of the contract between
the Issuer and the owners 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 advisable by its officers, to
employ and pay fiscal agents, financial
advisors, attorneys and other persons to assist
the Issuer in such compliance.
Section 18. Amendment of Resolution to
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
applicable Federal law or regulations.
Section 19. Continuing Disclosure. The
Issuer 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
Certificate are hereby incorporated by
reference as part of this Resolution and made
a part hereof. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Resolution, failure of the
Issuer to comply with the Continuing
Disclosure Certificate shall not be considered
an event of default under this Resolution;
however, any holder of the Bonds or Beneficial
Owner may take such actions as may be
necessary and appropriate, including seeking
specific 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 vote or consent with
respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, any
Bond (including persons holding Bonds
through nominees, depositories or other
intermediaries), or (b) is treated as the owner
of any Bonds for federal income tax purposes.
Section 20. Severability Clause. If any
section, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect any of the remaining provisions
hereof, and this Resolution shall become
effective immediately upon its passage and
approval.
Section 21. Repeal of Conflicting
Resolutions or Ordinances. That all ordinances
and resolutions and parts of ordinances and
resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby
repealed.

Book 142 Regular Session, June 18, 2012 177
within an annual maturity by lot. The terms

terest to date of call.
Thirty days' written notice of redemption
shall be given to the registered owner of the
Bond. Failure to give such notice to any regis-
tered owner of the Bonds or any defect therein
shall not affect the validity of any proceedings
for the redemption of the Bonds. All bonds or
portions thereof called for redemption will
cease to bear interest after the specified re-
demption date, provided funds for their re-
demption are on deposit at the place of pay-
ment.
If selection by lot within a maturity is re-
quired, the Registrar shall designate the bonds
to be redeemed by random selection of the
names of the registered owners of the entire
annual maturity until the total amount of bonds
to be called has been reached.
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 ex-
change of the Bonds, unless the Issuer de-
termines to permit the exchange of Deposi-
tory Bonds for Bonds in the 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), and such Depos-
itory Bonds shall be registered in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Pay-
ment of semi - annual interest for any De-
pository Bond shall be made by wire trans-
fer or New York Clearing House or equiva-
lent next day funds to the account of Cede
& Co. on the interest payment date for the
Bonds at the address indicated in or pur-
suant to the Representation Letter.
(b) With respect to Depository Bonds, nei-
ther 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
Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any
Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any
other person, other than DTC or its nomi-
nee, of any notice with respect to the
Bonds, (iii) the payment to any Participant,
any Beneficial Owner or any other person,
other than DTC or its nominee, of any
amount with respect to the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds,
or (iv) the failure of DTC to provide any in-
formation 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 princi-
pal 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 regis-
tering transfers with respect to such Bonds,
and for all other purposes whatsoever (except
for the giving of certain Bond holder consents,
in accordance with the practices and proce-
dures 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 payments shall be valid and effective to
fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obliga-
tions with respect to the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent
so paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Resolution to the contrary (including without
limitation those provisions relating to the sur-
render of Bonds, registration thereof, and is-
suance in Authorized Denominations), as long
as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect
shall be given to the Representation Letter and
the procedures and practices of DTC thereun-
der, and the Paying Agent shall comply there-
with.
(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
depository services or (iii) a determination
by the Paying Agent that DTC has re-
signed or discontinued its services for the
Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by
law, the Issuer shall (A) designate a satis-
factory substitute depository as set forth
below or, if a satisfactory substitute is not
found, (B) provide for the exchange of De-
pository 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 pro-
vide the Registrar with a supply of execut-
ed unauthenticated Bonds to be so ex-
changed. The Registrar shall thereupon
notify the owners of the Bonds and provide
for such exchange, and to the extent that
the Beneficial Owners are designated as
the transferee by the owners, the Bonds
will be delivered in appropriate form, con-
tent and Authorized Denominations to the
Beneficial Owners, as their interests ap-
pear.
178 Regular Session, June 18, 2012 Book 142
(e) Any substitute depository shall be des-
ignated in writing by the Issuer to the Pay-
ing 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 in-
terests may appear with respect to such
book entries.
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 regis-
tration and transfer of ownership of the
Bonds, and in no other way. Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association is hereby ap-
pointed 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 registration
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 Article 8 of the
Uniform Commercial Code and Section
384.31 of the Code of Iowa, subject to the
provisions for registration and transfer con-
tained in the Bonds and in this Resolution.
(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 to-
gether with an assignment duly executed
by the holder or his duly authorized attor-
ney in fact in such form as shall be satis-
factory to the Registrar, along with the ad-
dress 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 ad-
dress of the registered owner of a Bond
(other than a registered owner which is the
nominee of the broker or dealer in ques-
tion) is that of a broker or dealer, there
must be disclosed on the Registration
Books the information pertaining to the reg-
istered owner required above. Upon the
transfer of any such Bond, a new fully reg-
istered Bond, of any denomination or de-
nominations permitted by this Resolution in
aggregate principal amount equal to the
unmatured and unredeemed principal
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 Regis-
trar shall register, at the earliest practicable
time, on the Registration Books, the Bonds, in
accordance with the provisions of this Resolu-
tion.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the person
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 there-
of 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 representative. All such payments
shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon such Bond, in-
cluding 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 representing payment
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 principal of or interest
on Bonds 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 interest or pay-
ment 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 interest thereon, for the benefit
of the owner of such Bonds who shall
thereafter be restricted 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 Agents 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 be-
Book 142 Regular Session, June 18, 2012 179
came due, whether at maturity, or at the
date fixed for redemption thereof, or other-
wise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall
surrender 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 annu-
al maturity. The Registrar shall furnish ad-
ditional bonds in lesser denominations (but
not less than the minimum denomination)
to an owner who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated, De-
stroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and de-
liver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as
the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of
such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitu-
tion for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, up-
on filing with the Registrar evidence satisfacto-
ry to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond
has been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of
ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the
Registrar and Issuer with satisfactory indemni-
ty and complying with such other reasonable
regulations as the Issuer or its agent may pre-
scribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer
may incur in connection therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of
principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond,
shall be made to the registered holder thereof
or to their designated agent as the same ap-
pear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th
day preceding the payment date. All such
payments shall fully discharge the obligations
of the Issuer in respect of such Bonds to the
extent of the payments so made. Payment of
principal shall only be made upon surrender of
the Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 11. Execution, Authentication and
Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of
this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall ex-
ecute and deliver the Bonds to the Registrar,
who shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver
the same to or upon order of the Purchaser.
No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or shall be entitled to any right or
benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall
duly endorse 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 is-
sued under this Resolution and that the holder
thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Reso-
lution.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and de-
livered by the Registrar unless and until there
shall have been provided the following:
1. A certified copy of the Resolution of Is-
suer authorizing the issuance of the Bonds;
2. A written order of Issuer signed by the
Treasurer of the Issuer directing the au-
thentication and delivery of the Bonds to or
upon the order of the Purchaser upon
payment of the purchase price as set forth
therein;
3. The approving opinion of Ahlers &
Cooney, P.C., Bond Counsel, concerning
the validity and legality of all the Bonds
proposed to be issued.
Section 12. Right to Name Substitute Pay-
ing Agent or Registrar. Issuer reserves the
right to name a substitute, successor Registrar
or Paying Agent upon giving prompt written
notice to each registered bondholder.
Section 13. Form of Bond. Bonds shall be
printed in substantial compliance with stand-
ards proposed by the American Standards
Institute substantially in the form as [provided].
Section 14. Contract Between Issuer and
Purchaser. This Resolution constitutes a con-
tract between said City and the purchaser of
the Bonds.
Section 15. Severability Clause. If any sec-
tion, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect any of the remaining provisions
hereof, and this Resolution shall become ef-
fective immediately upon its passage and ap-
proval.
Section 16. 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
Certificate are hereby incorporated by refer-
ence as part of this Resolution and made a
part hereof. Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion of this Resolution, failure of the Issuer to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certifi-
cate shall not be considered an event of de-
fault under this Resolution; however, any hold-
er of the Bonds or Beneficial Owner may take
such actions as may be necessary and appro-
priate, including seeking specific performance
by court order, to cause the Issuer to comply
with its obligations under the Continuing Dis-
closure Certificate. For purposes of this sec-
tion, 'Beneficial Owner" means any person
which (a) has the power, directly or indirectly,
to vote or consent with respect to, or to dis-
pose of ownership of, any Bond (including
persons holding Bonds through nominees,
depositories or other intermediaries), or (b) is
treated as the owner of any Bonds for federal
income tax purposes.

terest to date of call.
Thirty days' written notice of redemption
shall be given to the registered owner of the

tered owner of the Bonds or any defect therein

portions thereof called for redemption will
cease to bear interest after the specified re-
demption date, provided funds for their re-
demption are on deposit at the place of pay-
ment.
If selection by lot within a maturity is re-
quired, the Registrar shall designate the bonds
to be redeemed by random selection of the
names of the registered owners of the entire
annual maturity until the total amount of bonds
to be called has been reached.
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 ex-
change of the Bonds, unless the Issuer de-
termines to permit the exchange of Deposi-
tory Bonds for Bonds in the 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), and such Depos-
itory Bonds shall be registered in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Pay-
ment of semi - annual interest for any De-
pository Bond shall be made by wire trans-
fer or New York Clearing House or equiva-
lent next day funds to the account of Cede
& Co. on the interest payment date for the
Bonds at the address indicated in or pur-
suant to the Representation Letter.
(b) With respect to Depository Bonds, nei-
ther 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
Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any
Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any
other person, other than DTC or its nomi-
nee, of any notice with respect to the
Bonds, (iii) the payment to any Participant,
any Beneficial Owner or any other person,
other than DTC or its nominee, of any
amount with respect to the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds,
or (iv) the failure of DTC to provide any in-
formation 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 princi-
pal 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 regis-
tering transfers with respect to such Bonds,
and for all other purposes whatsoever (except
for the giving of certain Bond holder consents,
in accordance with the practices and proce-
dures 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 payments shall be valid and effective to
fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obliga-
tions with respect to the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent
so paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Resolution to the contrary (including without
limitation those provisions relating to the sur-
render of Bonds, registration thereof, and is-
suance in Authorized Denominations), as long
as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect
shall be given to the Representation Letter and
the procedures and practices of DTC thereun-
der, and the Paying Agent shall comply there-
with.
(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
depository services or (iii) a determination
by the Paying Agent that DTC has re-
signed or discontinued its services for the
Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by
law, the Issuer shall (A) designate a satis-
factory substitute depository as set forth
below or, if a satisfactory substitute is not
found, (B) provide for the exchange of De-
pository 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 pro-
vide the Registrar with a supply of execut-
ed unauthenticated Bonds to be so ex-
changed. The Registrar shall thereupon
notify the owners of the Bonds and provide
for such exchange, and to the extent that
Book 142 Regular Session, June 18, 2012 185
the Beneficial Owners are designated as
the transferee by the owners, the Bonds
will be delivered in appropriate form, con-
tent and Authorized Denominations to the
Beneficial Owners, as their interests ap-
pear.
(e) Any substitute depository shall be des-
ignated in writing by the Issuer to the Pay-
ing 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 in-
terests may appear with respect to such
book entries.
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 regis-
tration and transfer of ownership of the
Bonds, and in no other way. Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association is hereby ap-
pointed 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 registration
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 Article 8 of the
Uniform Commercial Code and Section
384.31 of the Code of Iowa, subject to the
provisions for registration and transfer con-
tained in the Bonds and in this Resolution.
(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 to-
gether with an assignment duly executed
by the holder or his duly authorized attor-
ney in fact in such form as shall be satis-
factory to the Registrar, along with the ad-
dress 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 ad-
dress of the registered owner of a Bond
(other than a registered owner which is the
nominee of the broker or dealer in ques-
tion) is that of a broker or dealer, there
must be disclosed on the Registration
Books the information pertaining to the reg-
istered owner required above. Upon the
transfer of any such Bond, a new fully reg-
istered Bond, of any denomination or de-
nominations permitted by this Resolution in
aggregate principal amount equal to the
unmatured and unredeemed principal
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 person
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 there-
of 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 representative. All such payments
shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon such Bond, in-
cluding 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 representing payment
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 principal of or interest
on Bonds 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 interest or pay-
ment 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 interest thereon, for the benefit
of the owner of such Bonds who shall
thereafter be restricted 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
186 Regular Session, June 18, 2012 Book 142
Paying Agents 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 be-
came due, whether at maturity, or at the
date fixed for redemption thereof, or other-
wise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall
surrender 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 annu-
al maturity. The Registrar shall furnish ad-
ditional bonds in lesser denominations (but
not less than the minimum denomination)
to an owner who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated, De-
stroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and de-
liver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as
the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of
such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitu-
tion for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, up-
on filing with the Registrar evidence satisfacto-
ry to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond
has been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of
ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the
Registrar and Issuer with satisfactory indemni-
ty and complying with such other reasonable
regulations as the Issuer or its agent may pre-
scribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer
may incur in connection therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of
principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond,
shall be made to the registered holder thereof
or to their designated agent as the same ap-
pear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th
day of the month preceding the payment date.
All such payments shall fully discharge the
obligations of the Issuer in respect of such

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 de-
termines to permit the exchange of Deposi-
tory Bonds for Bonds in the 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); and such Depos-
itory Bonds shall be registered in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Pay-
ment of semi - annual interest for any De-

(b) With respect to Depository Bonds,
neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent
Book 142 Regular Session, November 5, 2012 323
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 responsi-
bility or obligation with respect to (i) the ac-
curacy of the records of DTC or its nomi-
nee or of any Participant with respect to
any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the
delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial
Owner or any other person, other than
DTC or its nominee, of any notice with re-
spect to the Bonds, (iii) the payment to any
Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any
other person, other than DTC or its nomi-
nee, of any amount with respect to the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Bonds, or (iv) the failure of DTC to pro-
vide any information or notification on be-
half 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 Bond holder con-
sents, 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 Registra-
tion Books, and all such payments shall be
valid and effective to fully satisfy and dis-
charge the Issuer's obligations with respect
to the principal of, premium, if any, and in-
terest on the Bonds to the extent so paid.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Res-
olution to the contrary (including without
limitation those provisions relating to the
surrender of Bonds, registration thereof,
and issuance in Authorized Denomina-
tions), as long as the Bonds are Depository
Bonds, full effect shall be given to the Rep-
resentation Letter and the procedures and
practices of DTC thereunder, and the Pay-
ing Agent shall comply therewith.
(c) Upon (i) a determination by the Is-
suer that DTC is no longer able to carry out
its functions or is otherwise determined un-
satisfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC
that the Bonds are no longer eligible for its
depository services or (iii) a determination
by the Paying Agent that DTC has re-
signed or discontinued its services for the
Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by
law, the Issuer shall (A) designate a satis-
factory substitute depository as set forth
below or, if a satisfactory substitute is not
found, (B) provide for the exchange of De-
pository Bonds for replacement Bonds in
Authorized Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if
the Issuer determines to provide for the
exchange 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 exe-
cuted unauthenticated Bonds to be so ex-
changed. The Registrar shall thereupon
notify the owners of the Bonds and provide
for such exchange, and to the extent that
the Beneficial Owners are designated as
the transferee by the owners, the Bonds
will be delivered in appropriate form, con-
tent and Authorized Denominations to the
Beneficial Owners, as their interests ap-
pear.
(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 deposi-
tory shall provide for (i) immobilization of
the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and
transfer of interests in Depository Bonds by
book entries made on records of the de-
pository or its nominee and (iii) payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest

such interests may appear with respect to
such book entries.

ment of Registrar; Transfer; Ownership; Deliv-
ery; and Cancellation.

Bonds may be transferred only by the mak-
ing of an entry upon the books kept for the

go Bank, National Association is hereby
appointed as Bond Registrar under the
terms of this Resolution and under the pro-
visions of a separate agreement with the
Issuer filed herewith which is made a part
hereof by this reference. Registrar shall

Iowa, subject to the provisions for registra-
tion 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 registration
324 Regular Session, November 5, 2012 Book 142
and transfer of Bonds and only upon sur-
render thereof at the office of the Registrar
together with an assignment duly executed
by the holder or his duly authorized attor-
ney in fact in such form as shall be satis-
factory to the Registrar, along with the ad-
dress 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 ad-
dress of the registered owner of a Bond
(other than a registered owner which is the
nominee of the broker or dealer in ques-
tion) is that of a broker or dealer, there
must be disclosed on the Registration
Books the information pertaining to the reg-
istered owner required above. Upon the
transfer of any such Bond, a new fully reg-
istered Bond, of any denomination or de-
nominations permitted by this Resolution in

rate and maturing on the same date or
dates shall be delivered by the Registrar.

person in whose name the ownership of
the same shall be registered on the Regis-
tration Books of the Registrar shall be
deemed and regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and pay-
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
or upon the order of the registered owner
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 representing
payment 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 liability of
the Issuer to the owner thereof for such in-
terest or payment of such Bonds 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 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 Agents
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 redemp-
tion thereof, or otherwise, at which time the
Paying Agent, shall surrender any remain-
ing funds so held to the Issuer, whereupon
any claim under this Resolution by the
Owners of such interest or Bonds of what-
ever 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 annu-
al maturity. The Registrar shall furnish ad-
ditional bonds in lesser denominations (but
not less than the minimum denomination)
to an owner who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated, De-
stroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and de-
liver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as
the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of
such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitu-
tion for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, up-
on filing with the Registrar evidence satisfacto-
ry to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond
has been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of
ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the
Registrar and Issuer with satisfactory indemni-
ty and complying with such other reasonable
regulations as the Issuer or its agent may pre-
scribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer
may incur in connection therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of
principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond,

or to their designated agent as the same ap-
pear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th
day of the month preceding the payment date.

obligations of the Issuer in respect of such
Bonds to the extent of the payments so made.

Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of
this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall ex-
ecute and deliver the Bonds to the Registrar,
who shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver
the same to or upon order of the Purchaser.
No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or shall be entitled to any right or
benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall
duly endorse 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 is-
sued under this Resolution and that the holder
thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Reso-
lution.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered
by the Registrar unless and until there shall
have been provided the following:
1. A certified copy of the Resolution
of Issuer authorizing the issuance of

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
Bonds it will comply with the requirements of
statutes and regulations issued thereunder.
To the best knowledge and belief of the Issuer,
there are no facts or circumstances that would
materially change the foregoing statements or
the conclusion that it is not expected that the
proceeds of the Bonds will be used in a man-
ner that would cause the Bonds to be arbitrage
bonds. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Issuer hereby agrees to comply
with the provisions of the Tax Exemption Cer-
tificate and the provisions of the Tax Exemp-
tion Certificate are hereby incorporated by
reference as part of this Resolution. The
Treasurer is hereby directed to make and in-
sert all calculations and determinations neces-
sary to complete the Tax Exemption Certificate
in all respects and to execute and deliver the
Tax Exemption Certificate at issuance of the
Bonds to certify as to the reasonable expecta-
tions and covenants of the Issuer at that date.
Section 16. Severability Clause. If any sec-
tion, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect any of the remaining provisions
hereof, and this Resolution shall become ef-
fective immediately upon its passage and ap-
proval.
Section 17. 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
Certificate are hereby incorporated by refer-
ence as part of this Resolution and made a
part hereof. Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion of this Resolution, failure of the Issuer to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certifi-
cate shall not be considered an event of de-
fault under this Resolution; however, any hold-
er of the Bonds or Beneficial Owner may take
such actions as may be necessary and appro-
priate, including seeking specific performance
by court order, to cause the Issuer to comply
with its obligations under the Continuing Dis-
closure Certificate. For purposes of this sec-
tion, 'Beneficial Owner" means any person
which (a) has the power, directly or indirectly,
to vote or consent with respect to, or to dis-
pose of ownership of, any Bond (including
persons holding Bonds through nominees,

with all representations, covenants and assur-

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
applicable Federal law or regulations.

tions. For the sole purpose of qualifying the
Bonds as "Qualified Tax - Exempt Obligations"
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of the

the Issuer and paid before maturity on said
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 re-
demption shall be par, plus accrued interest to
date of call.
Thirty days' written notice of redemption
shall be given to the registered owner of the
Bond. Failure to give such notice by mail to
any registered owner of the Bonds or any de-
fect therein shall not affect the validity of any
proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds.
All bonds or portions thereof called for re-
demption will cease to bear interest after the
specified redemption date, provided funds for
their redemption are on deposit at the place of
payment.
If selection by lot within a maturity is re-
quired, the Registrar shall designate the bonds
to be redeemed by random selection of the
names of the registered owners of the entire
annual maturity until the total amount of bonds
to be called has been reached.
Section 7. Issuance of Bonds in Book -
Entry Form; Replacement Bonds.
(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions
of this Resolution regarding registration, own-
ership, transfer, payment and exchange 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 de-
nominations 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); and such
Depository Bonds shall be registered in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
Payment of semi - annual interest for any De-
pository Bond shall be made by wire transfer
or New York Clearing House or equivalent
next day funds to the account of Cede & Co.
on the interest payment date for the Bonds at
the address indicated in or pursuant to the
Representation 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 obligation with re-
spect to (1) the accuracy of the records of DTC
or its nominee or of any Participant with re-
spect to any ownership interest in the Bonds,
(ii) the delivery to any Participant, any Benefi-
cial Owner or any other person, other than
DTC or its nominee, of any notice with respect
to the Bonds, (iii) the payment to any Partici-
pant, any Beneficial Owner or any other per-
son, other than DTC or its nominee, of any
amount with respect to the principal of, premi-
um, if any, or interest 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 princi-
pal 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 regis-
tering transfers with respect to such Bonds,
and for all other purposes whatsoever (except
for the giving of certain Bond holder consents,
in accordance with the practices and proce-
dures 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 payments shall be valid and effective to
fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obliga-
tions with respect to the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent
so paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Resolution to the contrary (including without
limitation those provisions relating to the sur-
render of Bonds, registration thereof, and is-
suance in Authorized Denominations), as long
as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect
shall be given to the Representation Letter and
the procedures and practices of DTC thereun-
der, and the Paying Agent shall comply there-
with.
(c) Upon (1) a determination by the Issuer
that DTC is no longer able to carry out its func-
tions or is otherwise determined unsatisfacto-
ry, or (ii) a determination by DTC that the
Bonds are no longer eligible for its depository
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) des-
ignate a satisfactory substitute depository as
set forth below or, if a satisfactory substitute is
not found, (B) provide for the exchange of De-
pository Bonds for replacement Bonds in Au-
thorized Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if the
Issuer determines to provide for the exchange
Book 142 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 341
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 unauthenticated
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 Beneficial Owners are designated as
the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will be
delivered in appropriate form, content and Au-
thorized Denominations to the Beneficial Own-
ers, as their interests appear.
(e) Any substitute depository shall be
designated in writing by the Issuer to the Pay-
ing 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 sub-
stitute depository shall provide for (i) immobili-
zation of the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration
and transfer of interests in Depository Bonds
by book entries made on records of the depos-
itory or its nominee and (iii) payment of princi-
pal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds in accordance with and as such inter-
ests may appear with respect to such book
entries.
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 registration
and transfer of ownership of the Bonds, and in
no other way. Wells Fargo Bank, National As-
sociation is hereby appointed as Bond Regis-
trar 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 regis-
tration of ownership of the Bonds for the pay-
ment of principal of and interest on the Bonds
as provided in this Resolution. All Bonds shall
be negotiable as provided in Article 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 Resolution.
(b) Transfer. The ownership of any Bond
may be transferred only upon the Registration
Books kept for the registration and transfer of
Bonds and only upon surrender thereof at the
office of the Registrar together with an as-
signment 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 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 Reg-
istration Books the information pertaining to
the registered owner required above. Upon the
transfer of any such Bond, a new fully regis-
tered Bond, of any denomination or denomina-
tions permitted by this Resolution in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unmatured and
unredeemed principal amount of such trans-
ferred fully registered Bond, and bearing inter-
est at the same rate and maturing on the same
date or dates shall be delivered by the Regis-
trar.
(c) Registration of Transferred Bonds. In
all cases of the transfer of the Bonds, the Reg-
istrar shall register, at the earliest practicable
time, on the Registration Books, the Bonds, in
accordance with the provisions of this Resolu-
tion.
(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 representative. All such payments
shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and dis-
charge 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 Registrar shall be de-
stroyed and a certificate of the destruction
thereof shall be furnished promptly to the Issu-
er; 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 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 principal of or interest on Bonds
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 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, with-
out liability for interest thereon, for the benefit
of the owner of such Bonds who shall thereaf-
ter be restricted 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 Agents obliga-
342 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 Book 142
tion to hold such funds shall continue for a
period equal to two years and six months fol-
lowing the date on which such interest or prin-
cipal became due, whether at maturity, or at
the date fixed for redemption thereof, or oth-
erwise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall
surrender any remaining funds so held to the
Issuer, whereupon any claim under this Reso-
lution 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 furnish additional
bonds in lesser denominations (but not less
than the minimum denomination) to an owner
who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated, De-
stroyed Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and de-
liver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as
the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of
such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitu-
tion for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, up-
on filing with the Registrar evidence satisfacto-
ry to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond
has been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of
ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the
Registrar and Issuer with satisfactory indemni-
ty and complying with such other reasonable
regulations as the Issuer or its agent may pre-
scribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer
may incur in connection therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of
principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond,
shall be made to the registered holder thereof
or to their designated agent as the same ap-
pear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th
day of the month preceding the payment date.
All such payments shall fully discharge the
obligations of the Issuer in respect of such
Bonds to the extent of the payments so made.
Payment of principal shall only be made upon
surrender of the Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 11. Execution, Authentication and
Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of
this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall ex-
ecute and deliver the Bonds to the Registrar,
who shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver
the same to or upon order of the Purchaser.
No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or shall be entitled to any right or
benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall
duly endorse 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 is-
sued under this Resolution and that the holder
thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Reso-
lution.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and de-
livered by the Registrar unless and until there
shall have been provided the following:
1. A certified copy of the Resolution of
Issuer authorizing the issuance of the
Bonds;
2. A written order of Issuer signed by
the Treasurer of the Issuer directing the
authentication and delivery of the Bonds to
or upon the order of the Purchaser upon
payment of the purchase price as set forth
therein;
3. The approving opinion of Ahlers &
Cooney, P.C., Bond Counsel, concerning
the validity and legality of all the Bonds
proposed to be issued.
Section 12. Right to Name Substitute Pay-
ing Agent or Registrar. Issuer reserves the
right to name a substitute, successor Registrar
or Paying Agent upon giving prompt written
notice to each registered bondholder.
Section 13. Form of Bond. Bonds shall be
printed in substantial compliance with stand-
ards proposed by the American Standards
Institute substantially in the form as [provided].
Section 14. Non - Arbitrage Covenants. The
Issuer reasonably expects and covenants that
no use will be made of the proceeds from the
issuance and sale of the Bonds issued here-
under which will cause any of the Bonds to be
classified as arbitrage bonds within the mean-
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
Bonds it will comply with the requirements of
statutes and regulations issued thereunder.
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
arbitrage bonds. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Issuer hereby agrees to
comply with the provisions of the Tax Exemp-
tion Certificate and the provisions of the Tax
Exemption Certificate are hereby incorporated
by reference as part of this Resolution. The
Treasurer is hereby directed to make and in-
sert all calculations and determinations neces-
sary to complete the Tax Exemption Certificate
in all respects and to execute and deliver the
Tax Exemption Certificate at issuance of the
Bonds to certify as to the reasonable expecta-
tions and covenants of the Issuer at that date.
Book 142 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 343
Section 15. Severability Clause. If any sec-
tion, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect any of the remaining provisions
hereof, and this Resolution shall become ef-
fective immediately upon its passage and ap-
proval.
Section 16. 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
Certificate are hereby incorporated by refer-
ence as part of this Resolution and made a
part hereof. Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion of this Resolution, failure of the Issuer to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certifi-
cate shall not be considered an event of de-
fault under this Resolution; however, any hold-
er of the Bonds or Beneficial Owner may take
such actions as may be necessary and appro-
priate, including seeking specific performance
by court order, to cause the Issuer to comply
with its obligations under the Continuing Dis-
closure Certificate. For purposes of this sec-
tion, "Beneficial Owner" means any person
which (a) has the power, directly or indirectly,
to vote or consent with respect to, or to dis-
pose of ownership of, any Bond (including

chasers and holders of the Bonds from time to

emption Certificate); (d) pay to the United

officers, to employ and pay fiscal agents, fi-
nancial advisors, attorneys and other persons
to assist the Issuer in such compliance.
Section 18. Amendment of Resolution to
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
applicable Federal law or regulations.
Section 19. Repeal of Conflicting Resolu-
tions or Ordinances. That all ordinances and
resolutions and parts of ordinances and reso-
lutions in conflict herewith are hereby re-

sess the tax hereby authorized in
Section 2 of this Resolution, in like
manner as other taxes are levied and
assessed, and such taxes so levied in

other taxes in and for the City, and when col-
lected they shall be converted into a special
fund within the Debt Service Fund to be known
as the "TAXABLE GENERAL OBLIGATION
BOND FUND 2012F" (the "Bond Fund "), which
is hereby pledged for and shall be used only
for the payment of the principal of and interest
on the Bonds hereinafter authorized to be is-
sued; and also there shall be apportioned to
said fund its proportion of taxes received by
the City from property that is centrally as-
sessed by the State of Iowa.

interest except as may be provided below shall
be credited to the Project Fund and expended
therefrom for the purposes of issuance. Any

interest on the Bonds at any time that other
funds shall be insufficient 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

vided by law or this Resolution. Accrued inter-

of Iowa for the aforesaid purpose.
The Bonds shall be designated

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 such notice by
mail to any registered owner of the Bonds
or any defect therein shall not affect the va-
lidity of any proceedings for the redemption
of the Bonds. All bonds or portions thereof
called for redemption will cease to bear in-
terest after the specified redemption date,
provided funds for their redemption are on
deposit at the place of payment.
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.
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 de-
termines to permit the exchange of Deposi-
tory Bonds for Bonds in the 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); and such Depos-
itory Bonds shall be registered in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Pay-
ment of semi - annual interest for any De-
pository Bond shall be made by wire trans-
fer or New York Clearing House or equiva-
lent next day funds to the account of Cede
& Co. on the interest payment date for the
Bonds at the address indicated in or pur-
suant to the Representation 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 responsi-
bility or obligation with respect to (i) the ac-
curacy of the records of DTC or its nomi-
nee or of any Participant with respect to
any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the
delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial
Owner or any other person, other than
DTC or its nominee, of any notice with re-
spect to the Bonds, (iii) the payment to any
Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any
other person, other than DTC or its nomi-
nee, of any amount with respect to the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
Book 142 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 347
the Bonds, or (iv) the failure of DTC to pro-
vide any information or notification on be-
half 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 Bond holder con-
sents, 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 Registra-
tion Books, and all such payments shall be
valid and effective to fully satisfy and dis-
charge the Issuer's obligations with respect
to the principal of, premium, if any, and in-
terest on the Bonds to the extent so paid.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Res-
olution to the contrary (including without
limitation those provisions relating to the
surrender of Bonds, registration thereof,
and issuance in Authorized Denomina-
tions), as long as the Bonds are Depository
Bonds, full effect shall be given to the Rep-
resentation Letter and the procedures and
practices of DTC thereunder, and the Pay-
ing Agent shall comply therewith.
(c) Upon (i) a determination by the Is-
suer that DTC is no longer able to carry out
its functions or is otherwise determined un-
satisfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC
that the Bonds are no longer eligible for its
depository services or (iii) a determination
by the Paying Agent that DTC has re-
signed or discontinued its services for the
Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by
law, the Issuer shall (A) designate a satis-
factory substitute depository as set forth
below or, if a satisfactory substitute is not
found, (B) provide for the exchange of De-
pository Bonds for replacement Bonds in
Authorized Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if
the Issuer determines to provide for the
exchange 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 exe-
cuted unauthenticated Bonds to be so ex-
changed. The Registrar shall thereupon
notify the owners of the Bonds and provide
for such exchange, and to the extent that
the Beneficial Owners are designated as
the transferee by the owners, the Bonds
will be delivered in appropriate form, con-
tent and Authorized Denominations to the
Beneficial Owners, as their interests ap-
pear.
(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 deposi-
tory shall provide for (i) immobilization of
the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and
transfer of interests in Depository Bonds by
book entries made on records of the de-
pository 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 entries.
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 mak-
ing of an entry upon the books kept for the
registration and transfer of ownership of
the Bonds, and in no other way. Wells Far-
go Bank, National Association is hereby
appointed as Bond Registrar under the
terms of this Resolution and under the pro-
visions 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
registration 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 Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial
Code and Section 384.31 of the Code of
Iowa, subject to the provisions for registra-
tion 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 registration
and transfer of Bonds and only upon sur-
render thereof at the office of the Registrar
together with an assignment duly executed
by the holder or his duly authorized attor-
ney in fact in such form as shall be satis-
factory to the Registrar, along with the ad-
dress 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 ad-
dress of the registered owner of a Bond
(other than a registered owner which is the
nominee of the broker or dealer in ques-
tion) is that of a broker or dealer, there
must be disclosed on the Registration
Books the information pertaining to the reg-
348 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 Book 142
istered owner required above. Upon the
transfer of any such Bond, a new fully reg-
istered Bond, of any denomination or de-
nominations permitted by this Resolution in
aggregate principal amount equal to the
unmatured and unredeemed principal
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
practicable time, on the Registration
Books, the Bonds, in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the
person in whose name the ownership of
the same shall be registered on the Regis-
tration Books of the Registrar shall be
deemed and regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and pay-
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
or upon the order of the registered owner
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 representing
payment 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 liability of
the Issuer to the owner thereof for such in-
terest or payment of such Bonds 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 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 Agents
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 redemp-
tion thereof, or otherwise, at which time the
Paying Agent, shall surrender any remain-
ing funds so held to the Issuer, whereupon
any claim under this Resolution by the
Owners of such interest or Bonds of what-
ever 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 annu-
al maturity. The Registrar shall furnish ad-
ditional bonds in lesser denominations (but
not less than the minimum denomination)
to an owner who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated, De-
stroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and de-
liver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as
the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of
such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitu-
tion for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, up-
on filing with the Registrar evidence satisfacto-
ry to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond
has been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of
ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the
Registrar and Issuer with satisfactory indemni-
ty and complying with such other reasonable
regulations as the Issuer or its agent may pre-
scribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer
may incur in connection therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of
principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond,
shall be made to the registered holder thereof
or to their designated agent as the same ap-
pear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th
day of the month preceding the payment date.
All such payments shall fully discharge the
obligations of the Issuer in respect of such
Bonds to the extent of the payments so made.
Payment of principal shall only be made upon
surrender of the Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 11. Execution, Authentication and
Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of
this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall ex-
ecute and deliver the Bonds to the Registrar,
who shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver
the same to or upon order of the Purchaser.
No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or shall be entitled to any right or
benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall
duly endorse and execute on such Bond a
Certificate of Authentication substantially in the
form of the Certificate herein set forth. Such
Book 142 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 349
Certificate upon any Bond executed on behalf
of the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that
the Bond so authenticated has been duly is-
sued under this Resolution and that the holder
thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Reso-
lution.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered
by the Registrar unless and until there shall
have been provided the following:
1. A certified copy of the Resolu-
tion of Issuer authorizing the issuance
of the Bonds;
2. A written order of Issuer signed
by the Treasurer of the Issuer direct-
ing the authentication and delivery of
the Bonds to or upon the order of the
Purchaser upon payment of the pur-
chase price as set forth therein;
3. The approving opinion of Ah-
lers & Cooney, P.C., Bond Counsel,
concerning the validity and legality of
all the Bonds proposed to be issued.
Section 12. Right to Name Substitute Pay-
ing Agent or Registrar. Issuer reserves the
right to name a substitute, successor Registrar
or Paying Agent upon giving prompt written
notice to each registered bondholder.
Section 13. Form of Bond. Bonds shall be
printed in substantial compliance with stand-
ards proposed by the American Standards
Institute substantially in the form as [provided].
Section 14. Contract Between Issuer and
Purchaser. This Resolution constitutes a con-
tract between said City and the purchaser of
the Bonds.
Section 15. Severability Clause. If any sec-
tion, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect any of the remaining provisions
hereof, and this Resolution shall become ef-
fective immediately upon its passage and ap-
proval.
Section 16. 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
Certificate are hereby incorporated by refer-
ence as part of this Resolution and made a
part hereof. Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion of this Resolution, failure of the Issuer to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certifi-
cate shall not be considered an event of de-
fault under this Resolution; however, any hold-
er of the Bonds or Beneficial Owner may take
such actions as may be necessary and appro-
priate, including seeking specific performance
by court order, to cause the Issuer to comply
with its obligations under the Continuing Dis-
closure Certificate. For purposes of this sec-
tion, "Beneficial Owner" means any person
which (a) has the power, directly or indirectly,
to vote or consent with respect to, or to dis-
pose of ownership of, any Bond (including
persons holding Bonds through nominees,
depositories or other intermediaries), or (b) is
treated as the owner of any Bonds for federal
income tax purposes.
Section 17. Repeal of Conflicting Resolu-
tions or Ordinances. That all ordinances and
resolutions and parts of ordinances and reso-
lutions in conflict herewith are hereby re-
pealed.

(b) Resolution to be Filed With County Au-
ditor. A certified copy of this Resolution should
be filed with the County Auditor of Dubuque
County, State of Iowa, and said Auditor is
hereby instructed in and for each of the years
as provided, to levy and assess the tax hereby
authorized in Section 2 of this Resolution, in
like manner as other taxes are levied and as-
sessed, and such taxes so levied in and for
each of the years aforesaid be collected in like
manner as other taxes of the City are collect-
ed, and when collected be used for the pur-
pose of paying principal and interest on said
Bonds issued in anticipation of said tax, and
for no other purpose whatsoever.
(c) Additional City Funds Available. Princi-
pal and interest coming due at any time when
the proceeds of said tax on hand shall be in-
sufficient to pay the same shall be promptly
paid when due from current funds of the City
available for that purpose and reimbursement
shall be made from such special fund in the
amounts thus advanced.
Section 3. Bond Fund. Said tax shall be
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 col-
lected they shall be converted into a special
fund within the Debt Service Fund to be known
as the "GENERAL OBLIGATION URBAN RE-
NEWAL BOND FUND 2012H" (the "Bond
Fund "), which is hereby pledged for and shall
be used only for the payment of the principal of
and interest on the Bonds hereinafter author-
ized to be issued; and also there shall be ap-
portioned to said fund its proportion of taxes
received by the City from property that is cen-
trally assessed by the State of Iowa.
Section 4. Application of Bond Proceeds.
Proceeds of the Bonds other than accrued
interest except as may be provided below shall
be credited to the Project Fund and expended
therefrom for the purposes of issuance. Any
amounts on hand in the Project Fund shall be
available for the payment of the principal of or
interest on the Bonds at any time that other
funds shall be insufficient 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 pro-
vided by law or this Resolution. Accrued inter-
est, if any, shall be deposited in the Bond
Fund.
Section 5. Investments of Bond Fund Pro-
ceeds. All moneys held in the Bond Fund, pro-
vided for by Section 3 of this Resolution shall

ter 12B, Code of Iowa, 2011, as amended, or

members of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and the deposits in which are in-
sured thereby and all such deposits exceeding
the maximum amount insured from time to
352 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 Book 142
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, 2011, as amended, or
otherwise by a valid pledge of direct obliga-
tions of the United States Government having
an equivalent market value. All such interim
investments shall mature before the date on
which the moneys are required for payment of
principal of or interest on the Bonds as herein
provided.
Section 6. Bond Details, Execution and
Redemption.
(a) Bond Details. General Obligation Urban
Renewal Bonds of the City in the amount of
$2,385,000, shall be issued pursuant to the
provisions of Section 403.12 of the City Code
of Iowa for the aforesaid purpose. The Bonds
shall be designated "general obligation UR-
BAN RENEWAL bond, SERIES 2012H ", be
dated the date of delivery, and bear interest
from the date thereof, until payment thereof, at
the office of the Paying Agent, said interest
payable on December 1 2013, and semiannu-
ally thereafter on the 1s day of June and De-
cember in each year until maturity at the rates
hereinafter provided.
The Bonds shall be executed by the man-
ual or facsimile signature of the Mayor and
attested by the manual or facsimile signature
of the Clerk, and impressed or printed with the
seal of the City and shall be fully registered as
to both principal and interest as provided in
this Resolution; principal, interest and premi-
um, if any, shall be payable at the office of the
Paying Agent by mailing of a check to the reg-
istered owner of the Bond. The Bonds shall be
in the denomination of $5,000 or multiples
thereof. The Bonds shall mature and bear in-
terest as [provided]:
*Term Bonds
(b) Mandatory Payment and Redemption of
Term Bonds. All Term Bonds are subject to
mandatory redemption prior to maturity at a
price equal to 100% of the portion of the prin-
cipal amount thereof to be redeemed plus ac-
crued interest at the redemption date of June
1st of each of the years in the principal amount
set opposite each year in the [provided]
schedule:
* Final Maturity
The principal amount of Term Bonds may
be reduced through the earlier optional re-
demption, with any partial optional redemption
of the Term Bonds credited against future
mandatory redemption requirements for such
Term Bonds in such order as the Council shall
determine.
(c) Optional Redemption. Bonds maturing
after June 1, 2018 may be called for redemp-
tion by the Issuer and paid before maturity on
said 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 inter-
est to date of call.
Thirty days' written notice of redemption
shall be given to the registered owner of the
Bond. Failure to give such notice by mail to
any registered owner of the Bonds or any de-
fect therein shall not affect the validity of any
proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds.
All bonds or portions thereof called for re-
demption will cease to bear interest after the
specified redemption date, provided funds for
their redemption are on deposit at the place of
payment.
If selection by lot within a maturity is re-
quired, the Registrar shall designate the bonds
to be redeemed by random selection of the
names of the registered owners of the entire
annual maturity until the total amount of bonds
to be called has been reached.
Section 7. Issuance of Bonds in Book -
Entry Form; Replacement Bonds.
(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Resolution regarding registration, owner-
ship, transfer, payment and exchange 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 de-
nominations 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); and such
Depository Bonds shall be registered in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
Payment of semi - annual interest for any De-
pository Bond shall be made by wire transfer
or New York Clearing House or equivalent
next day funds to the account of Cede & Co.
on the interest payment date for the Bonds at
the address indicated in or pursuant to the
Representation Letter.
(b) With respect to Depository Bonds, nei-
ther the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have
any responsibility or obligation to any Partici-
pant or to any Beneficial Owner. Without limit-
ing the immediately preceding sentence, nei-
ther the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have
any responsibility or obligation with respect to
(i) the accuracy of the records of DTC or its
nominee or of any Participant with respect to
any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the
delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial
Owner or any other person, other than DTC or
its nominee, of any notice with respect to the
Bonds, (iii) the payment to any Participant, any
Beneficial Owner or any other person, other
than DTC or its nominee, of any amount with
respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Bonds, or (iv) the failure of DTC
Book 142 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 353
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 princi-
pal 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 regis-
tering transfers with respect to such Bonds,
and for all other purposes whatsoever (except
for the giving of certain Bond holder consents,
in accordance with the practices and proce-
dures 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 payments shall be valid and effective to
fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obliga-
tions with respect to the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent
so paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Resolution to the contrary (including without
limitation those provisions relating to the sur-
render of Bonds, registration thereof, and is-
suance in Authorized Denominations), as long
as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect
shall be given to the Representation Letter and
the procedures and practices of DTC thereun-
der, and the Paying Agent shall comply there-
with.
(c) Upon (i) a determination by the Issuer
that DTC is no longer able to carry out its func-
tions or is otherwise determined unsatisfacto-
ry, or (ii) a determination by DTC that the
Bonds are no longer eligible for its depository
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) des-
ignate a satisfactory substitute depository as
set forth below or, if a satisfactory substitute is
not found, (B) provide for the exchange of De-
pository Bonds for replacement Bonds in Au-
thorized Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if the
Issuer determines to provide for the exchange
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 unauthenticated
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 Beneficial Owners are designated as
the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will be
delivered in appropriate form, content and Au-
thorized Denominations to the Beneficial Own-
ers, as their interests appear.
(e) Any substitute depository shall be des-
ignated 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 Ex-
change Act of 1934, as amended. The substi-
tute depository shall provide for (i) immobiliza-
tion of the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration
and transfer of interests in Depository Bonds
by book entries made on records of the depos-
itory or its nominee and (iii) payment of princi-
pal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds in accordance with and as such inter-
ests may appear with respect to such book
entries.
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 registration
and transfer of ownership of the Bonds, and in
no other way. Wells Fargo Bank, National As-
sociation is hereby appointed as Bond Regis-
trar 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 regis-
tration of ownership of the Bonds for the pay-
ment of principal of and interest on the Bonds
as provided in this Resolution. All Bonds shall
be negotiable as provided in Article 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 Resolution.
(b) Transfer. The ownership of any Bond
may be transferred only upon the Registration
Books kept for the registration and transfer of
Bonds and only upon surrender thereof at the
office of the Registrar together with an as-
signment 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 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 Reg-
istration Books the information pertaining to
the registered owner required above. Upon the
transfer of any such Bond, a new fully regis-
tered Bond, of any denomination or denomina-
tions permitted by this Resolution in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unmatured and
unredeemed principal amount of such trans-
ferred fully registered Bond, and bearing inter-
est at the same rate and maturing on the same
date or dates shall be delivered by the Regis-
trar.
354 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 Book 142
(c) Registration of Transferred Bonds. In all
cases of the transfer of the Bonds, the Regis-
trar shall register, at the earliest practicable
time, on the Registration Books, the Bonds, in
accordance with the provisions of this Resolu-
tion.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the person
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 representative. All such payments
shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and dis-
charge 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 Registrar shall be de-
stroyed and a certificate of the destruction
thereof shall be furnished promptly to the Issu-
er; 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 representing payment of
principal of or interest on the Bonds is returned
to the Paying Agent or if any bond is not pre-
sented for payment of principal at the maturity
or redemption date, if funds sufficient to pay
such principal of or interest on Bonds 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 Bonds shall forthwith
cease, terminate and be completely dis-
charged, 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 Bonds who shall thereafter
be restricted exclusively to such funds for any
claim of whatever nature on his part under this
Resolution or on, or with respect to, such in-
terest or Bonds. The Paying Agents 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 surren-
der any remaining funds so held to the Issuer,
whereupon any claim under this Resolution by
the Owners of such interest or Bonds of what-
ever 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 furnish additional
bonds in lesser denominations (but not less
than the minimum denomination) to an owner
who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated, De-
stroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and de-
liver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as
the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of
such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitu-
tion for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, up-
on filing with the Registrar evidence satisfacto-
ry to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond
has been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of
ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the
Registrar and Issuer with satisfactory indemni-
ty and complying with such other reasonable
regulations as the Issuer or its agent may pre-
scribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer
may incur in connection therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of
principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond,
shall be made to the registered holder thereof
or to their designated agent as the same ap-
pear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th
day of the month preceding the payment date.
All such payments shall fully discharge the
obligations of the Issuer in respect of such
Bonds to the extent of the payments so made.
Payment of principal shall only be made upon
surrender of the Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 11. Execution, Authentication and
Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of
this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall ex-
ecute and deliver the Bonds to the Registrar,
who shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver
the same to or upon order of the Purchaser.
No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or shall be entitled to any right or
benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall
duly endorse 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 is-
sued under this Resolution and that the holder
thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Reso-
lution.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and de-
livered by the Registrar unless and until there
shall have been provided the following:
1. A certified copy of the Resolution of Is-
suer authorizing the issuance of the Bonds;
2. A written order of Issuer signed by the
Treasurer of the Issuer directing the authenti-
cation and delivery of the Bonds to or upon the
Book 142 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 355
order of the Purchaser upon payment of the
purchase price as set forth therein;
3. The approving opinion of Ahlers &
Cooney, P.C., Bond Counsel, concerning the
validity and legality of all the Bonds proposed
to be issued.
Section 12. Right to Name Substitute Pay-
ing Agent or Registrar. Issuer reserves the
right to name a substitute, successor Registrar
or Paying Agent upon giving prompt written
notice to each registered bondholder.
Section 13. Form of Bond. Bonds shall be
printed in substantial compliance with stand-
ards proposed by the American Standards
Institute substantially in the form as [provided].
Section 14. Contract Between Issuer and
Purchaser. This Resolution constitutes a con-
tract between said City and the purchaser of
the Bonds.
Section 15. Non - Arbitrage Covenants. The
Issuer reasonably expects and covenants that
no use will be made of the proceeds from the
issuance and sale of the Bonds issued here-
under which will cause any of the Bonds to be
classified as arbitrage bonds within the mean-
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
Bonds it will comply with the requirements of
statutes and regulations issued thereunder.
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
arbitrage bonds. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Issuer hereby agrees to
comply with the provisions of the Tax Exemp-
tion Certificate and the provisions of the Tax
Exemption Certificate are hereby incorporated
by reference as part of this Resolution. The
Treasurer is hereby directed to make and in-
sert all calculations and determinations neces-
sary to complete the Tax Exemption Certificate
in all respects and to execute and deliver the
Tax Exemption Certificate at issuance of the
Bonds to certify as to the reasonable expecta-
tions and covenants of the Issuer at that date.
Section 16. Severability Clause. If any sec-
tion, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect any of the remaining provisions
hereof, and this Resolution shall become ef-
fective immediately upon its passage and ap-
proval.
Section 17. 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
Certificate are hereby incorporated by refer-
ence as part of this Resolution and made a
part hereof. Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion of this Resolution, failure of the Issuer to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certifi-
cate shall not be considered an event of de-
fault under this Resolution; however, any hold-
er of the Bonds or Beneficial Owner may take
such actions as may be necessary and appro-
priate, including seeking specific performance
by court order, to cause the Issuer to comply
with its obligations under the Continuing Dis-
closure Certificate. For purposes of this sec-
tion, 'Beneficial Owner" means any person
which (a) has the power, directly or indirectly,
to vote or consent with respect to, or to dis-
pose of ownership of, any Bond (including
persons holding Bonds through nominees,
depositories or other intermediaries), or (b) is
treated as the owner of any Bonds for federal
income tax purposes.
Section 18. Additional Covenants, Repre-
sentations and Warranties of the Issuer. The
Issuer certifies and covenants with the pur-
chasers 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 representations, covenants and assur-
ances contained in the Tax Exemption Certifi-
cate, which Tax Exemption Certificate shall
constitute a part of the contract between the
Issuer and the owners of the Bonds;(c) consult
with bond counsel (as defined in the Tax Ex-
emption Certificate); (d) pay to the United
States, as necessary, such sums of money
representing required rebates of excess arbi-
trage 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 advisable by its
officers, to employ and pay fiscal agents, fi-
nancial advisors, attorneys and other persons
to assist the Issuer in such compliance.
Section 19. Amendment of Resolution to
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
applicable Federal law or regulations.
Section 20. Repeal of Conflicting Resolu-
tions or Ordinances. That all ordinances and
resolutions and parts of ordinances and reso-
lutions in conflict herewith are hereby re-
pealed.

RESOLUTION NO. 325 -12
AUTHORIZING AND PROVIDING FOR THE
ISSUANCE OF $7,285,000 TAXABLE GEN-
ERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS,
SERIES 20121, AND LEVYING A TAX TO
PAY SAID BONDS
Whereas, the Issuer is duly incorporated,
organized and exists under and by virtue of the
laws and Constitution of the State of Iowa; and
Whereas, the City is in need of funds to
pay costs of adjusting, extending and refund-
ing existing general obligation indebtedness of
the City as is more fully set forth in the sched-
ule of Bonds to be refunded, hereinafter set
forth as Exhibit "A ", attached to this resolution,
and it is deemed necessary and advisable that
the City should authorize Taxable General
Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 20121, to
the amount of not to exceed $12,000,000 for
such purpose; and
Whereas, it is found and determined that
the aforesaid adjustment and refunding of pre-
sent indebtedness is necessary and in the
public interest and will benefit the City and its
taxpayers by restructuring four (4) outstanding
issue(s) of Bonds for purposes of more effi-
cient administration thereof; by conforming the
debt service requirements to the anticipated
receipt of tax funds thereby reducing the im-
pact 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 issued for future capi-
tal improvements; and
Whereas, it presently appears that the
aforesaid benefits may be realized and at the
same time savings may be effected in the debt
service fund requirements of the City by re-
funding of the bonds set forth in the schedule
set forth as Exhibit "A ", attached to this Reso-
lution and made a part hereof by this refer-
ence; and
Whereas, the City is in need of funds to
pay costs of aiding in the planning, undertak-
ing, and carrying out of urban renewal projects
under the authority of chapter 403, including
the refunding and refinancing of outstanding
City indebtedness, including the General Obli-
gation Urban Renewal Bonds, Taxable Series
2005C, the General Obligation Urban Renewal
Bonds, Series 2006B, the General Obligation
Refunding Bonds, Series 2006C, and the
General Obligation Bonds, Series 2007B, is-
sued for such purposes to achieve savings
and facilitate the use of committed private
parking arrangements in connection with future
Book 142 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 357

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 such notice by
mail to any registered owner of the Bonds

lidity of any proceedings for the redemption

terest after the specified redemption date,
provided funds for their redemption are on
deposit at the place of payment.
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.
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 de-
termines to permit the exchange of Deposi-
tory Bonds for Bonds in the 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), and such Depos-
itory Bonds shall be registered in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Pay-
ment of semi - annual interest for any De-
pository Bond shall be made by wire trans-
fer or New York Clearing House or equiva-
lent next day funds to the account of Cede
& Co. on the interest payment date for the
Bonds at the address indicated in or pur-
suant to the Representation 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 responsi-
bility or obligation with respect to (i) the ac-
curacy of the records of DTC or its nomi-
nee or of any Participant with respect to
any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the
delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial
Owner or any other person, other than
DTC or its nominee, of any notice with re-
spect to the Bonds, (iii) the payment to any
Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any
other person, other than DTC or its nomi-
nee, of any amount with respect to the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Bonds, or (iv) the failure of DTC to pro-
vide any information or notification on be-
half 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 Bond holder con-
sents, 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 Registra-
tion Books, and all such payments shall be
valid and effective to fully satisfy and dis-
charge the Issuer's obligations with respect
to the principal of, premium, if any, and in-
terest on the Bonds to the extent so paid.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Res-
olution to the contrary (including without
limitation those provisions relating to the
surrender of Bonds, registration thereof,
360 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 Book 142
and issuance in Authorized Denomina-
tions), as long as the Bonds are Depository
Bonds, full effect shall be given to the Rep-
resentation Letter and the procedures and
practices of DTC thereunder, and the Pay-
ing Agent shall comply therewith.
(c) Upon (i) a determination by the Is-
suer that DTC is no longer able to carry out
its functions or is otherwise determined un-
satisfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC
that the Bonds are no longer eligible for its
depository services or (iii) a determination
by the Paying Agent that DTC has re-
signed or discontinued its services for the
Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by
law, the Issuer shall (A) designate a satis-
factory substitute depository as set forth
below or, if a satisfactory substitute is not
found, (B) provide for the exchange of De-
pository Bonds for replacement Bonds in
Authorized Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if
the Issuer determines to provide for the
exchange 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 exe-
cuted unauthenticated Bonds to be so ex-
changed. The Registrar shall thereupon
notify the owners of the Bonds and provide
for such exchange, and to the extent that
the Beneficial Owners are designated as
the transferee by the owners, the Bonds
will be delivered in appropriate form, con-
tent and Authorized Denominations to the
Beneficial Owners, as their interests ap-
pear.
(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 deposi-
tory shall provide for (i) immobilization of
the Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and
transfer of interests in Depository Bonds by
book entries made on records of the de-
pository 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 entries.
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 mak-
ing of an entry upon the books kept for the
registration and transfer of ownership of
the Bonds, and in no other way. Wells Far-
go Bank, National Association is hereby
appointed as Bond Registrar under the
terms of this Resolution and under the pro-
visions 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
registration 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 Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial
Code and Section 384.31 of the Code of
Iowa, subject to the provisions for registra-
tion 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 registration
and transfer of Bonds and only upon sur-
render thereof at the office of the Registrar
together with an assignment duly executed
by the holder or his duly authorized attor-
ney in fact in such form as shall be satis-
factory to the Registrar, along with the ad-
dress 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 ad-
dress of the registered owner of a Bond
(other than a registered owner which is the
nominee of the broker or dealer in ques-
tion) is that of a broker or dealer, there
must be disclosed on the Registration
Books the information pertaining to the reg-
istered owner required above. Upon the
transfer of any such Bond, a new fully reg-
istered Bond, of any denomination or de-
nominations permitted by this Resolution in
aggregate principal amount equal to the
unmatured and unredeemed principal
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
practicable time, on the Registration
Books, the Bonds, in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the
person in whose name the ownership of
the same shall be registered on the Regis-
tration Books of the Registrar shall be
deemed and regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and pay-
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
or upon the order of the registered owner
thereof or his legal representative. All such
Book 142 Regular Session, November 19, 2012 361
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 representing
payment 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 liability of
the Issuer to the owner thereof for such in-
terest or payment of such Bonds 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 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 Agents
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 redemp-
tion thereof, or otherwise, at which time the
Paying Agent, shall surrender any remain-
ing funds so held to the Issuer, whereupon
any claim under this Resolution by the
Owners of such interest or Bonds of what-
ever 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 annu-
al maturity. The Registrar shall furnish ad-
ditional bonds in lesser denominations (but
not less than the minimum denomination)
to an owner who so requests.
Section 9. Reissuance of Mutilated, De-
stroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and de-
liver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as
the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, in exchange and substitution for such
mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of
such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitu-
tion for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, up-
on filing with the Registrar evidence satisfacto-
ry to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond
has been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of
ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the
Registrar and Issuer with satisfactory indemni-
ty and complying with such other reasonable
regulations as the Issuer or its agent may pre-
scribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer
may incur in connection therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of
principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond,
shall be made to the registered holder thereof
or to their designated agent as the same ap-
pear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th
day of the month preceding the payment date.
All such payments shall fully discharge the
obligations of the Issuer in respect of such
Bonds to the extent of the payments so made.
Payment of principal shall only be made upon
surrender of the Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 11. Execution, Authentication and
Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of
this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall ex-
ecute and deliver the Bonds to the Registrar,
who shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver
the same to or upon order of the Purchaser.
No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or shall be entitled to any right or
benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall
duly endorse 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 is-
sued under this Resolution and that the holder
thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Reso-
lution.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and
delivered by the Registrar unless and until
there shall have been provided the follow-
ing:
1. A certified copy of the Resolution of
Issuer authorizing the issuance of the
Bonds;
2. A written order of Issuer signed by
the Treasurer of the Issuer directing the
authentication and delivery of the
Bonds to or upon the order of the Pur-
chaser upon payment of the purchase
price as set forth therein;

Cooney, P.C., Bond Counsel, concern-
ing the validity and legality of all the
Bonds proposed to be issued.

right to name a substitute, successor Registrar

funding Trust Agreement dated as of the date
of delivery. The Trustee shall 1) hold such
proceeds in a special and irrevocable trust
fund, 2) invest such proceeds only in cash or
direct obligations of the United States, and 3)
apply such proceeds and earnings thereon
only in accordance with the terms and condi-
tions of the Refunding Trust Agreement. All the
terms and conditions of the Refunding Trust
Agreement are hereby incorporated by refer-
ence in this Resolution as if set forth herein in
full. The Refunding Trust Agreement is hereby
approved and confirmed as binding upon the
Issuer, and the Mayor and City Clerk are here-
by authorized to execute the Refunding Trust
Agreement on behalf of the Issuer and to au-
thorize the Trustee to call the Refunded Bonds
for redemption pursuant to the provisions of
the resolution authorizing their issuance.
Section 16. Severability Clause. If any sec-
tion, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution be held invalid, such invalidity shall
not affect any of the remaining provisions
hereof, and this Resolution shall become ef-
fective immediately upon its passage and ap-

Certificate are hereby incorporated by refer-
ence as part of this Resolution and made a
part hereof. Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion of this Resolution, failure of the Issuer to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certifi-
cate shall not be considered an event of de-
fault under this Resolution; however, any hold-
er of the Bonds or Beneficial Owner may take
such actions as may be necessary and appro-
priate, including seeking specific performance
by court order, to cause the Issuer to comply
with its obligations under the Continuing Dis-
closure Certificate. For purposes of this sec-
tion, 'Beneficial Owner" means any person

RESOLUTION NO.352 -12
STATING THE PREFERENCE FOR THE
NUMBER, ALIGNMENT AND COATING
PREFERENCE OF POWER LINE POLES TO
BE CONSTRUCTED IN DOVE HARBOR.
Whereas, ITC Midwest, LLC, a subsidiary
of ITC Holdings Corp. out of Novi, Michigan,
owns and operates electrical transmission
lines in the Dubuque area; and
Whereas, currently ITC has two lattice
tower structure poles, at the southeast and
southwest corners of Dove Harbor, that are
currently located within an easement from the
City of Dubuque; and
Whereas, increased energy demand and
the planned decommission of the nearby Al-
liant Power Plant has resulted in the need to
increase the capacity of the transmission line,
and as such, require new towers; and
Whereas, regulations by the Army Corps of
Engineers require that new construction take
place at least 15 feet from the base of the
slope leading to the floodwall; and
Whereas, ITC has asked the City, as the
owner of the land, to provide a preference on
one of two pole alignments that will satisfy the
requirements of the Army Core of Engineers
and increase the capacity of the transmission
line; and
Whereas, the City has received the input of
Flint Hills Resources, the current active tenant
on the southeast corner of the Dover Harbor
peninsula, and Dubuque Terminals, Inc.
southwest corner of the peninsula.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DUBUQUE, IOWA:
Section 1. That the stated preference for
the transmission line alignment is the option
that will utilize one structure at the south cen-
tral portion of Dove Harbor, subject to negotia-
tion of a new easement and the abandonment
of the previously existing easement on the site.
Section 2. That the coating preference for
the structure is a galvanized steel pole.
Section 3. That ITC is asked, to the best of
its ability, to return the construction site back to
its original state after the placement of the
structure.
Passed, approved and adopted this 17th
day of December, 2012.
