Introduction:
Council action is requested for the setting of sale of General Obligation Improvement Refunding Bonds,
to refund the 2004A and 2004D outstanding series. This refunding is requested to allow the City to
benefit from the current market conditions, providing for a reduced rate of interest on the existing
issues.

The City issued series 2004A and 2004D General Obligation Debt to provide for project costs related to
infrastructure improvements near the Dean Lakes commercial area, and the Public Works building
facility, respectively. These issues are longer term bonds, (20 year maturity) with maturity scheduled in
2025.
During 2012 budget discussions, City Council and staff discussed the impact and potential that debt
refunding could provide as a benefit to the City. City staff has initiated and continued discussions with
Springsted, the City's financial advisor, to determine if the City would experience a financial benefit
through the refunding of these two existing debt issuances. Based on the attached information, and
review of market conditions, it was determined that the refunding activities would be cost beneficial to
the City. A schedule of upcoming events and the summary of the transactions related to the proposed
refunding have been included for informational purposes.
The Date of Sale is schedule for May 15 2012, and competitive proposals will be received, considered
and a final recommendation presented to City Council that evening for their action. As is indicated in the
enclosed information, the outcome of this process is subject to the market conditions at the time of the
sale. The attached information is estimates only, and the documents presented on May 15 2012, will
provide the actual sale results and final savings determination.
Attached is the resolution prepared by bond counsel to establish the sale of the $4,960,000 on May 15
2012.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the approval of the resolution setting the sale of the General Obligation Improvement
Refunding Bonds for sale date of May 15 2012.

THE MARKET: Performance of the tax-exempt market is often measured by the Bond Buyer's Index ("BBI")
which measures the yield of high grade municipal bonds in the 20�h year for general
obligation bonds (the BBI 20 Bond Index) and the 30th year for revenue bonds (the BBI 25
Bond Intlex). The following chart illustrates these two indices over the past five years.

POST ISSUANCE The issuance of these bonds will result in post-issuance compliance responsibilities. The
COMPLIANCE: responsibilities lie in two primary areas: i) compliance with federal arbitrage requirements
and ii) compliance with secondary disclosure requirements.
Federal arbitraqe requirements include a wide range of implications that have been taken
into account as your issue has been structured. Post-issuance compliance responsibilities
for your tax-exempt issue include both rebate and yield restriction provisions of the IRS
Code. In very general terms the arbitrage requirements control the earnings on
unexpended bond proceeds, including investment earnings, moneys held for debt service
payments (which are considered to be proceeds under the IRS regulations), and/or
reserves. The City will not qualify for an expenditure exception to rebate as proceeds of
the bonds will be invested in an escrow account until the various call tlates of the Prior
Bontls. Arbitrage rules do not permit investment earnings on the escrow account to
exceed the yield on the Bonds; therefore no excess arbitrage would be earned. Yield
restriction provisions will still apply to the debt service funtl and should be monitored
throughout the life of the issue.
Secondarv disclosure requirements result from an SEC requirement that underwriters
provide ongoing disclosure information to investors. To meet this requirement, any
prospective underwriter will require the City to commit to providing the information needed
to comply under a continuing disclosure agreement.
Springsted currently provides arbitrage and continuing disclosure compliance services to
the City under separate contracts. Contract amendments adding this issue will be provided
to City staff.
SUPPLEMENTAL Supplementary information will be available to staff including detailed terms and contlitions
INFORMATION AND of sale, comprehensive structuring schedules and information to assist in meeting post-
BOND RECORD: issuance compliance responsibilities.
Upon completion of the financing, a bond record will be provitled that contains pertinent
documents and final debt service calculations for the transaction.
PURPOSE: The Bonds are being issued to refund (i) the February 1, 2015 through 2025 maturities of
the City's General Obligation Improvement Bontls, Series 2004A, tlated May 1, 2004 (the
"Series 2004A Bonds") and (ii) the February 1, 2016 through 2025 maturities of the City's
General Obligation Bonds, Series 2004D, dated November 1, 2004 (the "Series 2004D
Bonds"). These transactions are being untlertaken to achieve interest cost savings. The
Series 2004A Bontls and the Series 2004D Bonds are referred to collectively as the "Prior
Bonds".
The maturities of the Series 2004A Bonds to be refunded are currently outstantling in the
aggregate principai amount of $1,110,000. The 2013 through 2014 maturities of the
Series 2004A Bonds are not callable and will not be refunded. The Series 2004A Bontls
are callable on February 1, 2014. The Series 2004A Bontls were originally issued to
finance various improvement projects in the City.
The maturities of the Series 2004D Bonds to be refunded are currently outstantling in the
aggregate principal amount of $3,580,000. The 2013 through 2015 maturities of the
Series 2004D Bonds are not callable and will not be refunded. The Series 2004D Bonds
are callable on February 1, 2015. The 2004D Bonds were originally issued to finance
construction of a City public works facility.
Springsted Page2
AUTHORITY: Statutorv Authoritv: The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
Chapters 475 and 429.
Statutorv Requirements: For advance refunding issues, a statutory test exists which
establishes a minimum present value interest cost savings level of 3% of the present value
of refunded debt service. Basetl on the current interest rate market the present estimate of
the refunding savings for the Series 2004A Bonds is 7.474%. The present estimate of the
refunding savings for the Series 2004D Bonds is 5.195%. These estimates are net of all
costs associated with the refunding.
SECURITY AND The Bonds will be general obligations of the City, secured by its full faith and credit and
SOURCE OF taxing power. Principal and interest on the Bonds wiii be paid from a combination of ad
PAYMENT: valorem property tax levies and special assessments against benefited properties.
The issuance of the Bonds is being conducted as a"crossover" ativance refunding in which
the proceeds of the Bonds are placed in an escrow account with a major bank and
invested in government securities. These investments and their earnings are structured to
pay interest on the Bonds to and including the respective call dates of the Prior Bonds, at
which time the escrow account wiii prepay the callable maturities of the series of Prior
Bonds. The City will continue to pay the originally schetluletl debt service payments on the
Prior Bonds through their respective call dates. After the call date, the City will cross over
and begin making debt service payments on that portion of the new Bonds, taking
advantage of the lower interest rates.
The City will make its first levy for the Series 2004A Bonds portion, as needed, in 2013 for
collection in 2014. The City will make its first levy for the Series 2004D Bonds portion in
2014 for collection in 2015.
First-half collections of taxes and special assessments wiil be used to pay the interest due
each August 1. Second-half collections plus surplus first-half collections will be used to pay
the principal and interest due the following February 1.
SCHEDULES We have attached schedules showing the preliminary feasibility summary, debt service antl
ATTACHED: the estimated savings resulting from the refundings, given the current interest rate
environment.
STRUCTURING The Bonds have been structured to provide for approximately even annual savings with a
SUMMARY: term matching that of the Prior Bonds, determined in consultation with the City staff
Based on current interest rate estimates, as of the date of these Recommendations, the
refunding is projected to result in the City realizing savings for each of the Prior Bontls as
described below:
Avera e Net Future Net Present
Annual Savinqs Value Benefit Value Benefit
2004A Bonds $9,204 $103,359 $90,450
2004D Bonds $22,893 $230,271 $198,925
Total $333,630 $289,375

RISKS/SPECIAL The outcome of this financing will rely on the market conditions at the time of the sale. Any
CONSIDERATIONS: projections included herein are estimates based on current market conditions.
SALE TERMS AND Variabilitv of Issue Size: A specific provision in the sale terms permits modifications to the
MARKETING: issue size and/or maturity structure to customize the issue once the price antl interest rates
are set on the day of sale.
Prepavment Provisions: Bonds maturing on or after February 1, 2022 may be prepaid at a
price of par plus accrued interest on or after February 1, 2021.
Bank Qualification: The City does not expect to issue more than $10 million in tax-exempt
obligations that counts against the $10 million limit for this calendar year; therefore, the
Bonds are designated as bank qualifietl.
FEDERAL The issuance of the Bonds is an advance refunding untler federal tax law and the Bontls
CONSIDERATIONS may not be advance refunded using tax exempt bonds. If market conditions permit, a
ANDIOR current refuntling coultl be done at or after the call date.
REQUIREMENTS:
Tax exempt advance refunding transactions have more restrictive federal arbitrage
limitations than current refunding issues as they pertain to the escrow account. Coincident
with the sale of the Bonds, a verification agent will be retained by the City to confirm that
the refunding escrow is in compliance with fetleral yield restrictions and will also verify the
adequacy of the escrow to satisfy its cash flow requirements.
