Introduction
The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan - 1997 provides a vision for the economic well-
being for the residents of Iowa City and outlines the goals the commu.nity must strive to
achieve in order to attain its economic well-being vision. The goals outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan are:
· Diversify and increase the property tax base by (1) encouraging the retention and
expansion of existing industry and (2) attracting industries that have growth
potential and are compatible with existing businesses;
· Increase employment opportunities consistent with the available labor force;
· Provide and protect areas suitable for future industrial and commercial
development;
· Cooperate with local and regional organizations to promote economic
development within Iowa City;
· Improve the environmental and economic health of the community through the
efficient use of resources; and
· Consider financial incentives and programs to facility achieving the above goals.
In order to make development sites attractive to new and expanding firms,
communities are more and more called upon to provide financial incentives and
programs to make a development site and the area attractive to potential businesses.
Other development sites in the area, which already cater to office, research, production,
and assembly uses, make tax increment financing available to qualifying businesses that
are looking at those development sites. The City has concluded it is in the interest of its
citizens to encourage the developme. nt of an office and research development park in
order to provide a competitive development site for office, research, production and/or
assembly uses. To assist with ensuring that this type of development site is
competitive, the City intends to make available the use of tax increment financing as a
means to finance the construction of some of the necessary private and/or public
infrastructure improvements within the Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Plan
Area, referred to hereafter in this Plan as the Urban Renewal Project Area. In addition,
the City will make available the use of tax increment financing to provide direct grants,
loans, or rebates for qualifying businesses planning to locate in the Urban Renewal
Project Area.
To achieve the primary objectives of this Plan, the City of Iowa City shall undertake the
urban renewal actions as specified in this Urban Renewal Plan, pursuant to the powers
granted to it under Chapter 403 of the 1997 Code of Iowa, as amended.
ecodev/ngurbrev.doC 3
Urban Renewal Plan Objectives
The overall goal of the Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Plan is to formulate
and execute a workable program using public and private resources to develop the
Urban Renewal Project Area for office, research, production and/or assembly uses. The
following objectives have been established for the proposed Urban Renewal Project
Area:
· To encourage and support development that will expand the taxable values of
property within the Urban Renewal Project Area.
· To encourage the development of start-up firms, the expansion of existing
businesses, and the attraction of new industries.
· To provide for the orderly physical and economic growth of the city.
· To enhance the availability of sites to accommodate the construction of new office,
research, production and/or assembly buildings;
· To assist with the provision of infrastructure to enable competitive land prices and
lease rates;
· To make public improvements as deemed necessary by the City to support new
office, research, production and/or assembly development;
· To provide financial incentives and assistance to qualifying businesses.
Description of Urban Renewal Area
The legal description of this proposed Urban Renewal Project Area is included in the
Plan as Addendum No. 1 - Legal Description.
The location and general boundaries of the Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal
Plan Area are shown on Addendum No. 2 - Location Map: Northgate Corporate Park
Urban Renewal Project Area. This area is approximately 47.68 acres.
Proposed Urban Renewal Actions

production and/or assembly uses development.
Private Site Improvements
Site improvements may include, but are not limited to, design and construction of
buildings, grading for building construction and amenities; adequate paving and
parking; adequate landscaping; and on-site utilities. Tax increment financing may be
used by qualifying businesses to finance these private site improvements. Qualifying
ecodeWngurorev.doc 4
businesses must meet the requirements of the Financial Incentives section in order to use
tax increment financing for private site improvements.
Public Infrastructure Improvements
Public infrastructure improvements may include, but are not limited to, stormwater
management facilities, public streets and sidewalks, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, and
open space improvements. Tax increment financing may be available to finance the
construction of these improvements, in whole or in part, at the City Council's
discretion.
Financial Incentives
At the City Council's discretion, tax increment financing may be available for providing
direct grants, loans, or rebates for those qualifying businesses engaged in office,
research, production and/or assembly activities allowed in either the Office
Commercial (CO-l) Zone or the Research Development Park (RDp) Zone. The funds
from the direct grants, loans, or rebates may be used for, but are not limited to,
financing the private site improvements listed above. Qualifying businesses shall be
determined by the City Council. The Council's determination shall be based upon the
financial assistance guidelines outlined in Addendum A of the "Economic
Development Policies, Strategies, and Actions for the City of Iowa City".
Conformance with Land Use Policy and Zoning Ordinance
Comprehensive Plan
The Urban Renewal Project Area is part of the area at the 1-80 interchange with
Highway 1. The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan states that this area...
.provides one of the few opportunities for office research park development in
Iowa City. National Computer Systems (within the North Corridor Planning
District) and American College Testing (south of 1-80 in the North Corridor
Planning District) as successful examples of this type of development. With the
tone set by these two companies and the advantages of interstate exposure, land
around this interchange should continue to be preserved for office research park
and research development park opportunities.
The designation of the Urban Renewal Project Area for office, research, production
and/or assembly uses is consistent with the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan.
ecodev/ngurbrev.doc 5
Current Zoning
The Project Area's present zoning designation of CO-1, Office Commercial Zone, and
RDP, Research Development Park Zone, is consistent with this Urban Renewal Plan.
Current and Proposed Land Uses
Approximately 9.15 acres of the Project Area are presently used for office, research,
production, and/or assembly purposes, while approximately 38.53 acres are vacant.
The proposed land uses include office, research, production, and/or assembly
purposes, which are consistent with the current zoning.
Relocation of Families
Given that the Urban Renewal Area does not contain within its boundaries any
residential housing units, there is no need to relocate any families.

Current Constitutional Debt Limit of the City of Iowa City
The Constitution of the State of Iowa, Article XI, Section 3, provides as follows:
"Indebtedness of political or municipal corporations. No county, or other political or
municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any manner, or for any
purpose, to an amount, in the aggregate, exceeding five per centurn on the value of
taxable property within such county or corporation-to be ascertained by the last State and
County tax lists, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness."

$76,894,793
Proposed Amount of Indebtedness:
Through the actions of this urban renewal plan, the City of Iowa City proposes to
potentially incur indebtedness for public infrastructure improvements, private site
improvements, and financial incentives to qualifying businesses. Given the uncertainty
of the needs of future business development projects within the Urban Renewal Area,
the proposed amount of indebtedness is difficult to determine at this time. Given recent
development projects requesting assistance in some form of property tax assistance and
assuming all future projects within the Urban Renewal Area would qualify for
assistance under the Urban Renewal Plan, the proposed amount of indebtedness to be
incurred, including loans, advances, indebtedness, or bonds which qualify could equal
as much as $4.5 million over the 20 year period of the Urban Renewal Plan.

City Council and City Manager ,//2 '~~
Kann Frankhn D~rector Planning and Community el
Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Plan
Presented for Council action is a resolution determining the necessity and setting dates of
a consultation and public hearing on a proposed Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal
Plan. This is the first step in establishing the use of tax increment financing for the
Northgate Corporate Park (attached is a proposed time schedule and steps for establishing
a tax increment financing district).
As you may recall, in 1992 the City Council established a Northgate Corporate Park Urban
Renewal Area on four lots of Northgate Corporate Park for a specific business development
project. That business development project did not come to fruition. Given that that plan
was for a specific development project and could only be used for that project, the plan
was later rescinded by the City Council.
The Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Plan before the Council would establish the
ability to use tax increment financing for any qualifying projects in the urban renewal area.
The Plan states that the City Council shall determine qualifying businesses based upon the
City's economic development financial assistance guidelines. As with the Scott-Six
Industrial Park Urban Renewal Plan, tax increment financing could be used for public
infrastructure improvements, private site improvements, and financial incentives to
qualifying businesses.
The City's stated objectives for the urban renewal area are outlined in the urban renewal
plan. The urban renewal plan also explains why it is in the City's interest to establish this
urban renewal area. Communities are more and more called upon to make financial
incentives and programs available to make a development site and the area attractive to
potential new businesses and business expansions. Other development sites in the area,
which also target office research park uses make tax increment financing available to
businesses that are looking at those development sites. To assist with ensuring that this
type of Iowa City development is competitive, the City would make tax increment
financing available in the Northgate Corporate Park.
Prior to the City Council's public hearing on the urban renewal plan, the Planning and
Zoning Commission must provide its recommendation regarding the conformity of the
urban renewal plan with the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan - 1997. In addition, a
consultation must be held with the county, school district, and community college, in order
to provide these taxing entities with the opportunity to comment on the use of the
incremental tax revenues.
After the public hearing, the City Council will consider concurrently adoption of the urban
renewal plan, the TIF ordinance, and a developer's agreement. The TIF ordinance
establishes the mechanics of separating the incremental tax revenues from the base tax
revenues. The developer's agreement will outline more completely the City's obligations
and the developer's obligations regarding development within the urban renewal area.
David will be present at your February 8, 1999, work session to discuss any questions you
may have.

accrued interest to date of call.
Thirty days' notice of redemption shall be given by ordinary mail 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 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 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 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 6.1. DTC - Registration. All of the Bonds shall be registered in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Payment of semiannual interest for any Bond
registered in the name of Cede & Co. 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.
Section 6.2. The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of separate single
authenticated fully registered bonds in the amount of each separate stated maturity of the
Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the
registry books of the City Controller kept by the Paying Agent and Registrar in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Paying Agent and Registrar and the Issuer may
treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its
name for the purposes of payment of the principal or redemption price of or interest on
the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, giving any notice
permitted or required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under the Resolution of
the Issuer, registering the transfer of Bonds, obtaining any consent or other action to be
taken by registered owners of the Bonds and for all other purposes whatsoever; and
neither the Paying Agent and Registrar nor the Issuer shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary. Neither the Paying Agent and Registrar nor the Issuer shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership
interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or any Participant, or any other person which
is not shown on the registration books of the Paying Agent and Registrar as being a
-11-
registered owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by
DTC or any Participant; with respect to the payment by DTC or any Participant of any
amount in respect of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds, with
respect to any notice which is permitted or required to be given to owners of Bonds under
the Resolution, with respect to the selection by DTC or any Participant of any person to
receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or with respect to any
consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds. The
Paying Agent and Registrar shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds only to Cede. & Co. in accordance with the Representation Letter, and all such
payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations
with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC shall receive an
authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the
Issuer to make payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest. Upon delivery
by DTC to the Paying Agent and Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has
determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be
transferable to such new nominee in accordance with Section 6.6 hereof.
Section 6.3. In the event the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest of the
Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the Issuer may notify
DTC and the Paying Agent and Registrar, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants, of
the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be
transferable in accordance with Section 6.6 hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue
providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the Issuer
and the Paying Agent and Registrar and discharging its responsibilities with respect
thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be transferable in accordance
with Section 6.6 hereof.
Section 6.4. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Resolution to the
contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, all payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given,
respectively to DTC as provided in the Representation letter.
Section 6.5. In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided
to Bondholders by the Issuer or the Paying Agent and Registrar with respect to any
consent or other action to be taken by Bondholders, the Issuer or the Paying Agent and
Registrar, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or other action
and give DTC notice of such record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of
-12-
such record date to the extent possible. Notice to DTC shall be given only when DTC is
the sole Bondholder.
Section 6.6. In the event that any transfer or exchange of the Bonds is permitted
under Section 6.2 or 6.3 hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon
receipt by the Registrar from the registered owners thereof of the Bonds to be transferred
or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted transferee. In the
event Bond certificates are issued to holders other than Cede & Co., its successor as
nominee for DTC as holder of all the Bonds, or other securities depository as holder of all
the Bonds, the provisions of the Resolution shall also apply to, among other things, the
printing of such certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on
such certificates.
Section 6.7. The officers of the Issuer are hereby authorized and directed to
prepare and furnish to said purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality of said
Sewer Revenue Bonds, certified copies of such proceedings, ordinances, resolutions and
records and all such certificates and affidavits and other instruments as may be required to
evidence the legality and marketability of said bonds, and all certified copies, certificates,
affidavits and other instruments so furnished, including any heretofore furnished, shall
constitute representations of the Issuer as to the correctness of all facts stated or recited
therein.

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
-13-
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 ea~iest practicable time, on the
Registration Books, the Bonds, in accordance with the provisions of this

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 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
-14-
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 Agent's obligation to hold such funds shall continue for a period equal
to two years 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.

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 9. 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 10. 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

exceeding the maximum amount insured from time to time by FDIC or its equivalent
successor in any one financial institution shall be continuously secured by a valid pledge
of direct obligations 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 the purposes for which said fund was created or otherwise as herein provided
but in no event maturing in more than three years in the case of the Reserve Fund. The

covenants and agrees with each and every holder of the Bonds and Parity Bonds:
(a) Maintenance and Efficiency. The' Issuer will maintain the System in
good condition and operate it in an efficient manner and at masonable cost.
(b) Sufficiency of Rates. On or before the beginning of each fiscal year the
Governing Body will adopt or continue in effect rates for all services rendered by
the System determined to be sufficient to produce Net Revenues for the next
succeeding fiscal year adequate to pay principal and interest requirements and
create reserves as provided in this Resolution but not less than 110 percent of the
principal and interest requirements of the fiscal year. No free use of the System by
the Issuer or any department, agency or instrumentality of the Issuer shall be
permitted except upon the determination of the governing body that the rates and
changes otherwise in effect are sufficient to provide Net Revenues at least equal to
the requirements of this subsection.
(c) Insurance. The Issuer shall maintain insurance for the benefit of the
bondholders on the insurable portions of the System of a kind and in an amount
which normally would be carded by private companies engaged in a similar kind
of business. The proceeds of any insurance, except public liability insurance, shall
be used to repair or replace the pan or pans of the System damaged or destroyed,
or if not so used shall be placed in the Improvement Fund.
(d) Accounting and Audits. The Issuer will cause to be kept proper books
and accounts adapted to the System and in accordance with generally accepted
accounting practices, and will cause the books and accounts to be audited annually
not later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year by an independent auditor
and will file copies of the audit report with the Original Purchaser and will make
generally available to the holders of any of the Bonds and Parity Bonds, the
balance sheet and the operating statement of the System as certified by such
-27-
auditor. The Original Purchaser and holders of any of the Bonds and Parity Bonds
shall have at all reasonable times the right to inspect the System and the records,
accounts and data of the Issuer relating thereto. The audit reports required by this

covenants of this Resolution, including particularly the rate covenants
included herein.

Iowa, including the making and collecting of reasonable and sufficient rates for
services rendered by the System as above provided, and will segregate the
revenues of the System and apply said revenues to the funds specified in this
Resolution.
(f) Property. The Issuer will not sell, lease, mortgage or in any manner
dispose of the System, or any capital part thereof, including any and all extensions
and additions that may be made thereto, until satisfaction and discharge of all of
the Bonds and Parity Bonds shall have been provided for in the manner provided
in this Resolution. Provided, however, this covenant shall not be construed to
prevent the disposal by the Issuer of property which in the judgment of its
governing body has become inexpedient or unprofitable to use in connection with
the System, or if it is to the advantage of the System that other property of equal or
higher value be substituted therefor, and provided further that the proceeds of the
disposition of such property shall be placed in a Revolving Fund and used in
preference to other sources for capital improvements to the System. Any such
proceeds of the disposition of property acquired with the proceeds of the Bonds or
Parity Bonds shall not be used to pay principal or interest on the Bonds and Parity
Bonds or for payments into the Sinking or Reserve Funds.
-28-
(g) Fidelity Bond. The Issuer shall maintain fidelity bond coverage in
amounts which normally would be carded by private companies engaged in a
similar kind of business on each officer or employee having custody of funds of
the System.
(h) Additional Charges. The Issuer will require proper connecting charges
and/or other security for the payment of service charges.
(i) Budget. The governing body of the Issuer will adopt a system budget of
revenues and current expenses on or before the end of each fiscal year. Such
budget shall take into account revenues and current expenses during the current
and last preceding fiscal years. The Issuer will incur no current expense not
included in such budget, and will not permit total current expenses to exceed the
budget, unless the governing body shall first have adopted a Resolution declaring
the necessity of such expenses. Copies of such budget and approvals of
expenditures in excess of the budget shall be mailed to the Original Purchaser and
to the bondholders upon request.
Section 18. Prior Lien and Parity Bonds. The Issuer will issue no other Bonds or
obligations of any kind or nature payable from or enjoying a lien or claim on the property
or revenues of the System having priority over the Bonds or Parity Bonds.
Additional Bonds may be issued on a parity and equality of rank with the Bonds
with respect to the lien and claim of such Additional Bonds to the revenues of the System
and the money on deposit in the funds adopted by this Resolution, for the following
purposes and under the following conditions, but not otherwise:
(a) For the purpose of refunding any of the Bonds or Parity Bonds which
shall have matured or which shall mature not later than three months after the date
of delivery of such refunding Bonds and for the payment of which there shall be
insufficient money in the Sinking Fund and the Reserve Fund;
(b) For the purpose of refunding any Bonds, Parity Bonds or General
Obligation Bonds outstanding, or making extensions, additions, improvements or
replacements to the System, if all of the following conditions shall have been met:
-29-
(i) before any such Additional Bonds ranking on a parity are issued,
there will have been procured and filed with the Clerk, a statement of an
independent certified public accountant, consulting engineer or financial
consultant, not a regular employee of the Issuer, reciting the opinion based
upon necessary investigations that the Net Revenues of the System for the
preceding fiscal year (with adjustments as hereinafter provided) were equal
to at least 1.25 times the maximum amount that will be required in any
fiscal year. prior to the longest maturity of any of the then Outstanding
Bonds or Parity Bonds for both principal of and interest on all Bonds or
Parity Bonds then outstanding which are payable from the net earnings of
the System and the Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued.
For the purpose of determining the Net Revenues of the System for
the preceding fiscal year as aforesaid, the amount of the gross revenues for
such year may be adjusted by an independent Consulting Engineer or by a
Certified Public Accountant not a regular employee of the Issuer, so as to
reflect any changes in the amount of such revenues which would have
resulted had any revision of the schedule of rates or charges imposed at or
prior to the time of the issuance of any such Additional Bonds been in effect
during all of such preceding fiscal year.
(ii) the Additional Bonds must be payable as to principal and as to
interest on the same month and day as the Bonds herein authorized.
(iii) for the purposes of this Section, principal and interest falling
due on the first day of a fiscal year shall be deemed a requirement of the
immediately preceding fiscal year.
(iv) for the purposes of this Section, general obligation bonds shall
be refunded only upon a finding of necessity by the Governing Body and
only to the extent the general obligation bonds were issued or the proceeds
of them were expended for the System.
Section 19. Disposition of Bond Proceeds; Arbitrage Not Permitted. 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 Section 148(a) and (b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of the United States, and that throughout the term of said Bonds it will
comply with the requirements of said statute and regulations issued thereunder.
-30-
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.
The Issuer covenants that it will treat as Yield Restricted any proceeds of the
Bonds remaining unexpended after three years from the issuance and any other funds
required by the Tax Exemption Certificate to be so treated. If any investments are held
with respect to the Bonds and Parity Bonds, the Issuer shall treat the same for the purpose
of restricted yield as held in proportion to the original principal amounts of each issue.
The Issuer covenants that it will exceed any investment yield restriction provided
in this Resolution only in the event that it shall first obtain an opinion of recognized bond
counsel that the proposed investment action will not cause the bonds to be classified as
arbitrage bonds under Section 148(a) and (b) of the Internal Revenue Code or regulations
issued thereunder.
The Issuer covenants that it will proceed with due diligence to spend the proceeds
of the Bonds for the purpose set forth in this Resolution. The Issuer further covenants
that it will make no change in the use of the proceeds available for the construction of
facilities or change in the use of any portion of the facilities constructed therefrom by
persons other than the Issuer or the general public unless it has obtained an opinion of
bond counsel or a revenue ruling that the proposed project or use will not be of such
character as to cause interest on any of the Bonds not to be exempt from federal income
taxes in the hands of holders other than substantial users of the project, under the
provisions of Section 142(a) of the Intemal Revenue Code of the United States, related
statutes and regulations.
Section 20. Additional Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Issuer.

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.

the Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations as defined by Section 265(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of the United States, as amended.
Section 22. Discharge and Satisfaction of Bonds. The covenants, liens and
pledges entered into, created or imposed pursuant to this Resolution may be fully
discharged and satisfied with respect to the Bonds and Parity Bonds, or any of them, in
any one or more of the following ways:

and payable; and
(b) By depositing in trust with the Treasurer, or ~vith a corporate trustee
designated by the governing body for the payment of said obligations and
irrevocably appropriated exclusively to that purpose an amount in cash or direct
obligations of the United States the maturities and income of which shall be
sufficient to retire at maturity, or by redemption prior to maturity on a designated
date upon which said obligations may be redeemed, all of such obligations
outstanding at the time, together with the interest thereon to maturity or to the
designated redemption date, premiums thereon, if any that may be payable on the
redemption of the same; provided that proper notice of redemption of all such
obligations to be redeemed shall have been previously published or provisions
shall have been made for such publication.
Upon such payment or deposit of money or securities, or both, in the amount and
manner provided by this Section, all liability of the Issuer with respect to the Bonds or
Parity Bonds shall cease, determine and be completely discharged, and the holders thereof
shall be entitled only to payment out of the money or securities so deposited.

the consent of or notice to any of the holders of the Bonds and Parity Bonds, amend or

outstanding (not including in any case any Bonds which may then be held or owned by or
for the account of the Issuer, but including such Refunding Bonds as may have been
issued for the purpose of refunding any of such Bonds if such Refunding Bonds shall not
then be owned by the Issuer); but this Resolution may not be so amended in such manner

IOWA CITY CITY COUNCIL'S RESOLUTION REQUESTING SUBMISSION OF
THE QUESTION OF THE IMPOSITION OF A LOCAL SALES AND SERVICES
TAX TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF THE INCORPORATED AND
UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF JOHNSON COUNTY.
WHEREAS, on November 17, 1998, by Resolution No. 98-372, the City Council of the City of
Iowa City requested that the Johnson County Commissioner of Elections submit the question of
the imposition of a local sales and services tax to the registered voters of the incorporated and
unincorporated areas of Johnson County; and

as a "contiguous city" when in fact Tiffin was not a "contiguous city" on November 17, 1998; and
WHEREAS, the identification of contiguous cities in said resolution was unnecessary and
immaterial to the purpose of said resolution, i.e. the calling for an election on the local sales and
services tax; and
WHEREAS, the fact of whether Tiffin was or was not a contiguous city on November 17, 1998
was immaterial to the City Council's decision to request submission of the question of the
imposition of a local sales and services tax to the registered voters of the incorporated and
unincorporated areas of Johnson County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY,
IOWA, THAT:

clause of Resolution No. 98-372 which incorrectly identified Tiffin as a contiguous city on
November 17, 1998; and
The identification of contiguous cities in Resolution No. 98-372 was unnecessary and
could have been eliminated without affecting the resolution; and
The identification of contiguous cities in Resolution No. 98-372 and said error in the status
of Tiffin on November 17, 1998 was immaterial to the City Council's decision to request
submission of the question of the imposition of a local sales and services tax to the
registered voters of the incorporated and unincorporated areas of Johnson County.
