MEMORANDUM 4d(7
Date: April 30, 2014
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Linda Kopping, Senior Center Coordinator
Re: Recommendation for Acceptance of Johnson County Board of Supervisor's $59,224
Economic Development/Quality of Life Block Grant for FY15
Introduction:
In the fall of 2013, The Center submitted an Economic Development/Quality of Life Grant to the
Johnson County Board of Supervisors requesting $138,700 for FY15. This is the amount
necessary to cover the proportion of tax - supported operational expenses equal to the proportion
of Center members that reside in areas outside of Iowa City, but in Johnson County.
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors awarded The Center $59,224 for FY15. While the
City is pleased to continue our partnership with the County, this grant is not proportional to the
participation rate of the 19% of Center members who are non -Iowa City residents of Johnson
County.
The grant funds will be drawn from the County's general levy. Thus, residents of all Johnson
County jurisdictions will contribute property tax dollars to fund this grant. Iowa City residents are
the largest contributors to the County's general levy and roughly half of the grant amount
provided by the County will come from Iowa City residents who are already paying City taxes to
support Center operations.
History /Background:
From the highest contribution of $141,410 in FY02, the County's financial support dropped to
$75,000 in FY04. In FY12 and FY13, funding declined to $70,000, or approximately 9% of The
Center's total operational budget. This amount was less than what was necessary to cover
operational expenses associated with the 19% of Center members who are non -Iowa City
residents of Johnson County.
In FY14 only the amount necessary to cover the proportion of operational expenses equal to the
proportion of Center members residing in unincorporated areas of Johnson County was
requested. The City further requested that the funds be drawn from the County's rural levy,
given that the requested grant amount was intended to fund only the participation costs of rural
residents. The intention was to request funding from other jurisdictions in the County to support
the participation of their residents at the Center. The County awarded the $59,224 requested,
but the funding came from the general rather than the rural levy.
Given the County's apparent interest in using the general levy as a funding source, a decision
was made to request $138,700 in the FY15 grant application, an amount proportional to the
19% of non -Iowa City residents of Johnson County who are members of The Center. While this
continues to double tax Iowa City residents, it includes taxes collected from all other areas of
Johnson County. The County awarded $59,224 for FY15.
The Center's annual membership fee program is structured to reflect variations in operational
support provided by Iowa City and Johnson County. Iowa City residents pay a membership fee
of $33, residents of Johnson County living outside of Iowa City pay $60, and non - Johnson
April 30, 2014
Page 2
County residents pay $96. After deducting program revenue and reimbursed expenditures, the
FY13 cost per member was approximately $406. The $70,000 County grant in FY13 was
roughly $225 per County member outside of Iowa City, leaving a $181 gap. The $60
membership fee covers only a portion of this difference.
Discussion of Solutions:
Staff will continue to evaluate membership fee structures and cost - recovery models to develop
equitable and sustainable funding mechanisms. Achieving equity with other cities in Johnson
County may be complicated, as tax dollars from their residents are already being used to help
fund the Center through the County general levy, though not in an amount that the covers the
cost of providing the service.
Financial Impact:
The FY14 and FY15 grant amounts are $10,776 less than the FY12 and FY13 grant amounts
and $15,776 less than the grant in each fiscal year between 2004 and 2011. The grant
continues to `double tax' Iowa City residents for services at the Center, as they pay through both
their City and County levies. As membership continues to grow, a decreasing grant amount will
exacerbate the inequitable funding described above.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends acceptance of the $59,224 Economic Development/Quality of Life Grant
awarded to The Center by the Johnson County Board of Supervisors.
City Manager's Note:
City staff recognizes that property taxes levied across one jurisdiction do not provide a
proportional relationship between the tax paid and the service received. For example, some
individuals pay school taxes but do not send any children to public schools. Property taxes
distribute the cost of services (those services provided for the general public good) based on the
value of taxable property. However, the issue becomes more complicated when multiple
jurisdictions attempt to fund the same service, as is the case with the Senior Center, Animal
Services, SEATS, etc.
In these situations, it is beneficial to relate the amount of revenue provided by one jurisdiction to
the service received by the citizens of that jurisdiction. Doing so reduces the possibility of
double taxation or situations in which those receiving a service do not pay their fair share.

Provide a brief description of your organization.
Establishing social connections, keeping active physically and mentally, and maintaining contact with the
community are cornerstones of optimal aging, and they are what we do best at The Iowa City /Johnson
County Senior Center.
I. Establishing Social Connections
• Social Interaction and Engagement: Classes, programs, special events, performance groups,
volunteer activities, clubs, and organizations all incorporate time for participants to interact with
each other. Social interaction and engagement are essential components of all programming.
A survey done in June of 2013 indicated many people appreciate the social aspects of The Center. One
respondent stated, "It has improved my self- esteem and in a wonderful way has connected me to the
community (through classes and activities) so has improved my mental health and relieved the sense of
isolation that I sometimes have." Others talked about becoming "familiar with more faces in the
community," and enjoying "the small town friendliness of the Center."
2. Keeping Active Physically and Mentally
• Classes: The Center provides abundant educational opportunities covering everything from
literature and fitness to video production, music, and art education.
• Volunteer Service: Center volunteers work as teachers, leaders, project directors, building
supervisors, or special project volunteers. They play a critical role in the successful operation of
the Senior Center. This type of volunteering can bring a sense of purpose or meaningfulness to
a person's life.
All Center programming received accolades on the 2013 survey with approval ratings of 94% and above.
Positive outcomes identified included learning new things, keeping an active mind, obtaining needed
information, making friends, gaining a sense of belonging, and improving physical health.
3. Maintaining Contact with the Community
• Community services offered at The Center: The HARP Tax Aide Program; University of Iowa
Counseling Services; Volunteer Lawyers; Senior Health Insurance Information Program; Visiting
Nurses Association; and Honoring Your Wishes, a community -wide advanced care planning
initiative, all ensure that the community comes into The Center.
The Senior Nutrition Program, which supplied 84,237 units of service in FY2013, is housed in this
building and provided with all of its essential maintenance and operational expenses free of
charge. In addition to the 14,254 meals prepared and served on site in FY13, this location was
used to make and prepare for delivery 58,092 home delivered meals, 11,891 meals for satellite
locations, and 3,409 prepackaged meals for distribution in Johnson County.
• The Center Reaches Out to the County: Performances by music, theatre, dance, and poetry
groups are regularly scheduled throughout the community. Center volunteers share information
about The Senior Center and conduct fundraising activities in a variety of venues. In FY13 The
Center recorded 9,298 visits to outreach programs.
Service Level Statistics for Fiscal Year 2013
1. There were 104,970 visits to Center sponsored programs. There was an additional 14,254 and 6,940
on -site visits to the Senior Nutrition Program and other services and meetings respectively.
2. There were 360 classes and 50 special events, 7 performance groups, 24 groups and clubs, 18
volunteer opportunities, and 26 professional services offered throughout the year
3. Over 648 volunteers provided services to support programming and the community.
2
Will the request support/increase social, cultural, and /or recreational opportunities for Johnson
County residents? If yes, describe.
Services and programming provided by the Senior Center offer opportunities for lifelong education,
social interaction, cultural engagement, civic engagement, and physical wellbeing. Collectively they
promote health, happiness, and independent living and delay or avoid the onset of disabilities and sense
of isolation often associated with aging.
Center programs are enjoyed by many people; however, a survey done in June of 2013 indicates that
low- income and minority older adults are under - represented among participants. Past efforts to
remedy this situation by promoting the use of the low- income scholarship program, increasing the
number of culturally diverse programs, and community outreach have not met with a great deal of
success.
The FY15 operational budget proposal requests funding for more aggressive steps to resolve the
diversity issue without compromising existing programs that many people enjoy. Specifically, it requests
funding to conduct a survey to identify the needs and interests of low- income and minority older adults
and to organize and implement free or low -cost programs or services that are of interest to the target
population in neighborhood locations.
County funding is needed to continue to provide the current level of programming and services, help
support programs like the Senior Nutrition Program, and to expand programming to better meet the
needs and interests of low- income and minority older adults. Your support is a critical element in the
success of this operation.
The FY2015 budget request for Center operations is approximately $916,000. Anticipated revenue from
participant cost sharing, fundraising, endowment, and donations is about $186,000. The remaining
expense ($730,000) typically comes from tax support provided by the City of Iowa City and Johnson
County.
Of the total membership (1573)1, 19% live in areas outside of Iowa City, but in Johnson County. A
proportional share of tax support would be $138,700, or 19% of $730,000.

1 Memberships are being used as an indicator of total participation. Many programs and services are open to the
public and do not require a membership or registration to participate.
As shown in Table 1, 19% of the total Senior Center membership comes from areas in Johnson County
that are outside of Iowa City. A grant request for $138,700 supports the participation of all non -Iowa
City residents of Johnson County by funding an equivalent amount (19 %) of the Center's operational
expenses.
Does the request leverage other sources of revenue?
Yes. Other sources of revenue are included in the projected FY14 budget. Budget projections include
funding from the City of Iowa City, participant cost sharing, fees, grants, donations, corporate sponsors,
and Friends of The Center. Multi- jurisdictional support helps to leverage donations County -wide, as well
as broadening the membership base and increasing related revenue.
Will the funding further strategic goals identified by the Board of Supervisors?
Yes. Funding supports programs and services that promote optimal aging and the County's effort to
become a Livable Community for all Ages. Center programming includes health promotion programs
and services, support services such as Medicare and legal counseling, opportunities for cultural
enrichment and lifelong learning, and volunteer opportunities in The Center and larger community.
There is a direct relationship between these offerings and the County's Strategic Priority V to provide
and promote opportunities to improve quality of life, and goal V to become a more livable community.
Describe how the program or project will be impacted if the request is not fully funded.
Without sufficient funding, a decline in the quality of programs and services will ultimately occur and
outreach to low- income and minority older adults may be compromised. Tiered membership fees
reflect multi - jurisdictional support and are reviewed annually.
Did your organization receive County Funding last year? If so, identify how the funds were used and
how the funds helped enhance the quality of life for Johnson County residents.
Funding was used to support operational and program expenses that promoted optimal aging.
Highlights include:
1. For the second time the Senior Center was recognized as a Nationally Accredited Senior Center.
Fewer than 250 senior centers across the country have been able to attain national accreditation.
2. In June of 2013 The Center conducted a county -wide survey to assess such things as: 1) participant
and demographic information; 2) incentives, barriers, and benefits to participation in Center
programming; and 3) program satisfaction and recommendations.
3. Honoring Your Wishes (HYW), a community -wide advance care planning (ACP) initiative. In FY13,
The Center hosted 17 informational meetings and 164 facilitated discussions. Participant
satisfaction surveys show a 100% satisfaction rate with advance care planning discussions. This
service is open to all adults and is now available in Spanish.
4. The Senior Center is one of three Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) sites in
Johnson County. During the Medicare Open Enrollment Period, seven (7) volunteers assisted 243
seniors with their insurance needs. This year, the service will be offered in Spanish.
5. Five hundred and twenty (520) people from all over the county took advantage of the free AARP Tax
Aide Program for older adults and low -to- moderate income residents who are US citizens or
resident aliens in FY13.
6. Theatre, poetry, instrumental, and vocal musical groups performed at a variety of venues in the
county including: Chatham Oaks, Solon Care Center, Coralville Public Library, Sharon Center parade,
Coralville Center for Performing Arts, Johnson County Fairgrounds, Lantern Park, Uptown Bill's.

Johnson County Board of Supervisors
Attn: Andy Johnson
913 S. Dubuque Street
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Members of the Board of Supervisors,
On behalf of the Iowa City /Johnson County Senior Center, I am submitting a grant application
requesting $138,700 for fiscal year 2015.
Senior Center programming touches the lives of people throughout the county by providing a
variety of opportunities to engage in activities that help people maximize their ability to live healthy,
active, engaged, and independent lifestyles as they grow older. Participation counts for FY13 indicate a
successful programming year with 104,970 visits to Center sponsored programs. However, a survey
conducted in June of 2013 suggests that low- income and minority older adults are under - represented
among the current participation base.
The Center has made several attempts to expand diversity over the past year through culturally
diverse programming, promotion of the low- income scholarship program, and community outreach.
Success has been marginal. The FY15 operational budget request includes several more aggressive
approaches to increase diversity among participants including a comprehensive survey of the needs and
interests of low- income and minority older adults and targeted community outreach with free or low
cost programming in neighborhood locations.
Your financial support of this effort is extremely important and will allow the Center to better
serve low- income, minority older adults in our community without disrupting our current level of
service.
I hope that you will look favorably on this grant request and continue to support The Center as
we work to meet the diverse needs of older adults in Johnson County.

Re: Reclassification of Clerk/Typist — Streets and Said Waste
Revised - Financial Impact
Introduction
One of the clerk/typist positions in the Streets Division is currently vacant. Staff
recommends that this opportunity be used to consider combining the duties of the two
clerks, supplemented by temporary part time staff.
History /Background
The Streets, Traffic Engineering and Solid Waste Division was once three separate
divisions. When the divisions were merged, two cieric/typist positions were retained.
The Senior Clerk/Typist - Streets (pay grade 7) had a focus on streets and trams
engineering operations and the Clerk/Typist — Solid Waste (pay grade 4) had a focus on
solid waste, recycling and yard waste. The positions were cross trained to fill in for
each other during vacations and illness and to assist each other during intense phone
activity such as adverse weather events. The shifts were staggered so that there could
be a full 50 hours of phone coverage per week.
Discussion of Solution
This resolution will combine the duties of the two positions, rename the remaining
Clerk/Typist as Senior Clerk,/Typist — Streets and Solid Waste and reclassify the position
to pay grade 7. This position will be supplemented by temporary part time staff to assist
with day to day work and to maintain phone coverage.
Financial impact
The net annual savings of this change, including employment of a temporary part time
employee for 1,300 hour per year, is $52,856.74. The estimate in the original version of
this memo neglected to include benefits.
Recommendation
Staff recommends reclassification of the Clerk/Typist position.

Date: April 25th, 2014
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Rick Fosse, Director of Public Works
Re: Consultant Services for North Plant Salvage and Demolition Phase of the Iowa City
Wastewater Treatment Plant Relocation Project
Introduction
Staff has solicited proposals from consultants to provide services for the North Plant Salvage
and Demolition Phase of the Iowa City Wastewater Treatment Plant Relocation Project. The
consultant will provide permitting assistance, preliminary design, final design, and bidding and
construction phase services for the project.
History /Background
After the 2008 flood rendered most of the North Wastewater Treatment Plant inoperable,
causing minimally treated wastewater to flow into the Iowa River, the City of Iowa City deemed it
vital to move operations from the North Wastewater Treatment Plant to the South Wastewater
Treatment Plant and to demolish the North Plant. Iowa City has received funding from a variety
of sources to complete the nearly $55 million project. Demolishing the North Plant and creating
a park at the site are the next steps. Development in the Riverfront Crossings area will be
jumpstarted once the North Plant is demolished and a park created.
Discussion of Solutions
The Iowa Flood Mitigation Program (IFMP) is designed to allow cities to capture 70% of future
state sales tax growth to fund flood mitigation projects. The IFMP Board has allowed Iowa City
to capture up to $8.5 million dollars in future state sales tax growth to pay for the demolition of
the North Wastewater Treatment Plant, creation of a wetland at the North Plant site, and stream
bank stabilization.
Financial Impact
Iowa City will need to bond to pay for the projects. The bonds, including finance charges will be
retired using future state sales tax growth.
Recommendation
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Strand Associates, Inc. for a not -to- exceed fee of
$156,100. Funds are available in the North Wastewater Demolition account.

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 29, 2014
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Brenda Nations, Sustainability Coordinator
Re: Iowa City awarded Urban Sustainability Directors Network Innovation Opportunity
Fund grant for Climate Adaptation
Introduction: In collaboration with the Heartland Network, Iowa City was awarded a grant from
the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN). Iowa City will act as the lead city for the
Heartland Network grant; therefore a signature and acceptance of the terms of the grant are
needed. Once the USDN has received the signed document, a check will be issued to the City
of Iowa City and dispersal of funds will be managed as designated in the grant proposal during
the one year period starting from the date of signature.
Background: Iowa City is a part of the Heartland Network, a regional group of the national
organization of the Urban Sustainability Directors Network. This network consists of
sustainability coordinators in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region 7 (Midwest
region). Partners in this project include Dubuque and Des Moines, IA, Johnson Co, IA, Kansas
City, MO, Lincoln, NE, Lawrence, KS, Columbia, MO, and Oklahoma City, OK. State climate
experts in each of the five states represented are collaborating with the Heartland Network to
create a report of a regional assessment to identify future weather scenarios and likely areas of
impact on local government operations.
Benefits: This proposal is one of four funded climate adaption grants funded by the Urban
Sustainability Directors Network through the Global Philanthropy Partnership. The Heartland
Network's work will serve as an example for other cities in the national Urban Sustainability
Directors network interested in climate adaptation planning, but will be specifically focused on
climate issues that we deal with in the Midwest. Collaboration with the other cities will help
generate a collection of specific concerns which municipalities may face during extreme weather
events. Each city is responsible for gathering information among Public Works, Planning and
other city staff to have a broad understanding of infrastructure and other factors which may
affect City operation during these events.
Financial Impact: The City of Iowa City will receive a grant for $33,200, which will be
distributed to the lead climate scientist at Iowa State University to create a report along with
other Midwestern climatologists. Funds will also cover meeting costs and travel for sustainability
coordinators and climate scientists to meet face to face in Iowa City for a fall workshop.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City of Iowa City accepts the grant from the
Urban Sustainability Directors Network in order to work with regional climate experts and other
municipalities in the Midwest to understand how climate projections might affect municipalities.
Iowa City staff and elected officials will have the opportunity to gain knowledge to become better
prepared in making decisions involving policies and actions needed for climate adaptation.

Dear Brenda:
Global Philanthropy Partnership is pleased to proceed with a USDN Innovation
Opportunity Fund grant for $33,200 to enable USDN members Columbia, MO; Iowa City,
IA; Kansas City, MO; Lawrence, KS; Lincoln, NE; Oklahoma City, OK; Dubuque, IA; Des
Moines, IAO to work with Branson, MO and Johnson County, IA to identify specific areas
of public policy decisions and actions where our local governments should incorporate,
anticipated climate impacts.
In addition to improving the data our cities work with, the majority of network members
are also located within states where "climate change" and "climate adaptation
planning" are not fully supported subjects of discussion. The network's proposal
involves collaboration among Heartland members, regional climate experts, and
additional staff from Heartland cities and counties for planning our future. The products
and relationships formed will lend credibility to the discussion as we move forward.
To meet the grant objectives, the City of Iowa City, IA as the lead city, guided by the
project's USDN oversight committee, will supply project reports and deliverables.
Key deliverables of the project include:
• A report of a regional assessment prepared by our climate experts (localized to
whatever level is credible) for Heartland communities that identify future
weather scenarios and likely areas of impact upon local government operations,
written in language that is appropriate to inform elected officials, local
government staff, and the general public.
o The idea is not to produce new climate impact data, but to use regional
climate experts to assimilate existing data /info & help us identify
regional /local scale weather scenarios that Heartland communities can,

Amount: $33,200
Timeframe. 12 months from sign date
and should be, using in planning our future activities.
• A workshop that would convene regional climate experts, Heartland
members, and staff from Heartland communities that are involved in
activities most likely to be affected by impacts of climate change (public
works, water and storm water management, public health, emergency
management, and others) to discuss how to incorporate future weather
scenarios into planning and execution of actions by Heartland communities.
o Based upon the report, the Heartland communities intend to use the
Fall 2014 workshop as a first effort to identify opportunities for
collaboration among sub- groups of Heartland members who share
common risks /vulnerabilities. The strategy is to use the report from
the climate experts & the workshop to identify & drive specific
collaborative actions that will be taken by Heartland members.
• Additional products or outcomes may include;
.o Short papers assessing extreme weather events that have happened
in the region Mwith the impacts on the city detailed. These could
serve as communication tools for Othe public.
• Overview 1 -2 page fact sheet on "climate projections" and glossary of
common climate terminology (this is currently being developed for
the network).
• Detailed meeting notes and "lessons learned" as project evolves so
that other regions may benefit from our experience.
• An assessment tool for identifying additional vulnerabilities.
Potentially similar to the Water Adaptation Checklist and the ICF's
sensitivity matrix for infrastructure.
• Each state climatology office creates publications targeted to local
public administrators. For instance, a KSU Climatology Department
publication on climate change impacts on local government and
public infrastructure. Targeted audience: Public administrators
throughout the heartland. This product could come out of the
workshop and be shared with all Heartland participating states.
• Strengthened relationships with our regional climate researchers. The
impacts possible for this relationship could be expert resources for
staff and testimonials at public (City Council meetings, Interested
Parties meetings, etc.) events related to changes in the process of
infrastructure and land use planning.
• A partnership between the Heartland network and EPA Region 7
officials who are currently developing a regional climate action plan.
EPA R7 has solicited input re: how they could work with Heartland
members to support our efforts for climate adaptation /resilience. A
couple of suggestions we have made to them are:
■ Serve as a convener of various federal agencies /departments
(FEMA, US Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA, USGS, DOE, HUD,
USDN Tracking Number: BC06 Heartiand Adapt
Amount: $33,200
Timeframe. 12 months from sign date
DOT, etc) to identify & compile various sources of info & data that
are relevant to climate change impacts upon municipal operations
& provide a single portal to help us access such info more easily.
■ Assist us in follow -up to our USDN /Summit grant- funded project
with our state climatologists /university climate researchers, by
co- sponsoring a regional climate adaptation /resiliency workshop
in 2015 in concert with other federal agencies /departments to
convene staff (and elected officials) from various departments of
Heartland communities & other local governments in Region 7 &
Oklahoma to develop common areas of resiliency /climate
adaptation planning that can be addressed & collaborative efforts
among regional local governments to work on specific responses
to issues such as public health, water & storm water
management, emergency management, & other areas identified
by the climate experts in our region.

TO: Tom Markus, City Manager
FROM: Kirk Lehmann, Neighborhood Services Intern
Steve Long, Neighborhood Services Coordinator
RE: May 6th City Council meeting agenda item: sale of UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership
home
Introduction
On May 6th, City Council will hold a public hearing and vote on a resolution authorizing the conveyance
of 1116 E. Burlington St. as part of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership Program. Once this home is
sold, the program will have 36 completed homes.
1116 E. Burlington Street
Under the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership, the City proposes to sell 1116 E. Burlington St. for
$189,000 plus carrying costs of approximately $20,250. "Carrying costs" are all the costs incurred by the
City to acquire, maintain and sell the home, including abstracting and recording fees, interest on the
loan to purchase the home, mowing and snow removal, utilities, and real estate taxes. The carrying
costs were higher than average due to the buyer's request for additional renovations. City funds were
used to rehabilitate and sell the home as a single - family owner occupied home to an income - eligible
buyer. Renovations included electrical work, plumbing, repaired ceilings and walls, new light fixtures, a
new high efficiency furnace, a new doorway from the dining room to the kitchen, updated bathrooms,
refinished wood floors, and the installation of brand new appliances, cabinets and counters. The cost of
renovations is not included in the sale price and forgiven once the homeowner has lived there for five
years. The home must also be owner - occupied for 20 years. This turn -of- the - century home has 1,689
square feet of finished living space, including four bedrooms and one - and -a -half bathrooms. The buyer
will receive down payment assistance in the amount of $7,000.
Statement of Fiscal Impact
The assessed value of 1116 E. Burlington St. at the time of purchase was $181,960 and the sale price is
approximately $209,250. There will be no impact on the General Fund for ongoing operating expenses.
Recommendation
This home is located on a street where there are many rentals and after the renovation it has become
an asset to the neighborhood and community. Staff recommends approval of the resolution to
authorize the conveyance of 1116 E. Burlington St. as part of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership
program.

From: Chris O'Brien, Director of Transportation Services
Re: Transit Funding Application
Introduction:
At the May 6, 2014 City Council meeting, consideration will be given to a resolution authorizing
the filing of an application with Iowa DOT for FY2015 state transit assistance and FTA funding.
History /background:
This is an annual application filed with Iowa DOT listing capital and operating expenses that we
wish to see funded by [DOT and FTA. The projects contained in the application have been
programmed by Iowa City Transit for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307, 5310
and /or 5339 funds in FY2015. The projects will be included in the FY2015 Iowa DOT
Consolidated Transit Funding Application that MPOJC is completing and in the FY2015 -2018
MPOJC Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Iowa City Transit may not seek funding for
all of the projects; however, each project needs to be listed in order to be eligible for funding.
Discussion of Solution:
Following is a summary of the funds being applied for:
State Transit Assistance Program: approximately $428,200 — These are formula
funds awarded to the MPO and then distributed between Iowa City Transit, Coralville
Transit and the University of Iowa — Cambus.
Federal operating assistance for transit: $1,400,381 — These are funds awarded
from FTA to provide operational assistance to the transit agency.
From federal funds for transit in non - urbanized areas and /or for transit serving
primarily elderly persons and person with disabilities: $120,523 — These funds are
awarded to Iowa City and committed to para- transit services that are contracted through
a 28E Agreement with Johnson County SEATS
State -wide federal capital assistance for transit: $17,590,950 — These funds include
all of the capital projects that Iowa City Transit wishes to see funded. This sum includes
replacement and relocation of the transit facility and the replacement of several buses.
A local match of 15% - 20% is commonly required for the award of these funds.
Financial Impact:
The most substantial financial impact will result from the local match required of the capital
projects, especially considering the magnitude of the transit facility replacement and relocation
project. This project is estimated at $20 million with an estimated local match of $4 million. The
Transportation Services Department has a reserve account, currently just over $3 million, to pay
for the local match on the remaining capital projects.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends passing of the resolution in order to allow the consolidated application to be
filed with the Iowa Department of Transportation.

certain labor protection provisions.
We certify that the City of Iowa City has sufficient non - federal funds to provide required local
match for capital projects and at time of delivery will have the funds to operate and maintain
vehicles and equipment purchased under this project.
We request the State Transit Assistance formula funding be advanced monthly as allowed by law,
to improve transit system cash flow.

To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Dennis Bockenstedt, Director of Finance
Re: Budget Amendment #2 for Fiscal Year 2014
--a5-a6-14-
9
Introduction
The Finance Department requests the City Council conduct a public hearing for consideration of
amending the Fiscal Year 2014 budget. This amendment will be the second amendment for the
Fiscal Year 2014. Attached to this memorandum are the City Budget Amendment and
Certificate Resolution and a detailed listing of the proposed revenue and expenditure
amendments.
History /Background
The State of Iowa allows cities to amend their annual budget for supplemental appropriation
authority. This may include new or revised revenue and expenditure projections, transfers
between funds, and capital improvement program changes. Increased expenditures must utilize
available fund balance or additional revenue sources as the State of Iowa does not allow
amendments to increase property taxes. The proposed budget amendment was compiled using
various ways of gathering the proposed changes.
Some budget amendments were submitted to the Finance Department and the City Manager's
office during the budget process to help derive the revised 2014 budget for the budget book. In
addition, budget amendments were derived from the changes approved to the 2014 capital
improvement program. Other budget amendments were also derived from additional grant
activities and opportunities. These individual budget amendments are then compiled into a
formal budget amendment for City Council consideration that will be filed with the Johnson
County Auditor and the State of Iowa.
Discussion of Solutions
Revenues. The proposed budget amendment increases overall revenues and transfers -in by
$12,819,677, as shown on Line 14 of the attached Notice (see Revenues & Other Financing
Sources, lines 1 -14). The largest portion of the amended revenue increase relates to Other
Financing Sources (line 13). Other Financing Sources include revenues from debt issuance,
sale of capital assets, and transfers in. These revenues are being amended by $7,006,773,
which represents additional UniverCity housing loan activity of $2,100,000 and the issuance of
refunding bonds for $2,660,000. This also includes the transfer into the Emergency fund of
$1,656,058 and the sale of airport property for $500,000 in exchange for runway protection zone
property.
The next largest category being amended is for Intergovernmental revenue (line 9) by
$5,770,658. The largest portion of this is for an FAA grant of $4,500,000 for the property
acquisition in the airport runway protection zone and $720,000 in grant money for the flood
buyout program. Two other categories being amended significantly are Use of Money &
Property (line 8) which is being decreased by $4,722,593 and Service Charges (line 10) which
is being increased by $5,027,444. The changes in these two categories primarily represent the
re- categorization of parking fees from Use of Money & Property to Service Charges. The
budget adjustment for parking fees is $4,813,068. A detailed listing of the revenues being
amended is provided as an attachment to this memorandum.
Expenditures. The proposed amendment provides for an increase in appropriations of
$12,102,568 as shown on line 27 of the attached Notice (see Expenditures & Other Financial
Uses, lines 15 -27). The category that has the largest amendment total is the Business -
Type /Enterprise category with a proposed amendment of $6,291,782. The largest items in this
April 29, 2014
Page 2
category are the airport property acquisition of $5,000,000 and the adjustments to the 2014
capital improvement program of $1,104,921. The category with the next largest amendment
total is Community & Economic Development with a proposed amendment of $2,558,417. This
total primarily represents the additional UniverCity activity and flood buyout activities. The other
category with significant proposed amendments is the Transfers Out category with a proposed
amendment of $1,756,773. This figure primarily represents the transfer into the Emergency
fund. A detailed listing of the expenditures being amended is provided as an attachment to this
memorandum.
Fund Balance. The net budgeted result to fund balance from these amendments is an
increase of $717,109 (line 28). This budget amendment will not impact property taxes or rates.
Recommendation
The City Budget Amendment and Certification Resolution for the fiscal year ending June 30,
2014 budget amendment is attached to this memo. It is recommended that the City Council
conduct the public hearing as published and consider approval /denial of the proposed budget
amendment.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 1, 2014
TO: Tom Markus, City Manager
FROM: Sam Hargadine, Police Chief, o hept.; Ron Knoche, City Engineer, Public Works Dept.
RE: Animal Care and Adoption Center 2014 Project- Rebid with revised scope- awarding
construction contract pending council approval on June 3, 2014
Introduction:
The City of Iowa City released the Animal Care and Adoption Center project for bids on March 5, 2014. The
project had a base bid and seven alternates. The City received nine bids on March 27, 2014, the base bids
ranged from $3,658,000 to $3,938,000. The consultant's estimate for the base bid was $2,753,856. The bids
that were received by the City are beyond the planned budget for this building project.
The design team has revised the scope of the project by value engineering major components to bring the
construction cost within budget.
History /Background:
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) granted funding to the City to construct a new Animal
Center to replace the previous facility damaged by the 2008 Flood of the Iowa River. The City has approval
from FEMA to proceed with an improved project and timeline for the selected site. The design development
plans were approved by FEMA in November 2013 and the City was authorized to proceed with bidding. The
City staff worked with architecture firm Neumann Monson PC on construction specifications and plans to bid
a new facility. The future site has been approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
with the granted completion date of May 2015.
28E agreements with neighboring jurisdictions are in place for proportional funding of the facility, based on a
three -year average of animal intakes. Project costs, less FEMA reimbursements and Friends of the Animal
Center fundraising, will be shared with Johnson County, Coralville, University Heights, and the University of
Iowa. The City is solely absorbing the expense for the property and the costs to upgrade the traditional
HVAC to a geothermal system.
Discussion of Solutions:
Staff reviewed options with the consultant in an effort to bring the overall construction costs within budget.
The objective is to reduce scope to the original architect's construction estimate to keep the overall project
costs within 3.18 million; a new set of plans was reissued on Friday, April 25tH
Financial Impact:
The total project budget is $3.18 million and excluding fees and soft costs the estimated construction budget
is approximately $2.93 million including the geothermal system. There are also significant deduct alternates
included in the new bid documents. The fund number for this project is under Animal Shelter Replacement
under Munis account number Y4422.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends issuing new bid documents, with the following schedule:

Date: April 22, 2014
To: Thomas M. Markus, City Manager
From: Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood Services
Re: Aid to Agencies Funding Allocation
Introduction: The City annually budgets financial aid to human service agencies serving Iowa
City residents. For FY15 the City budgeted $378,700 for this purpose. The attached resolution
allocates these funds to the identified local human service agencies.
History /Background:
The City Council directed the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) to
review and formulate a funding recommendation for the applications requesting Iowa City funds
received under the United Way Joint Funding process. Similar to previous years, Johnson
County human service agencies request funding for United Way, Johnson County and the cities
of Iowa City and Coralville on this one application. At their January 16, 2014 meeting, the
Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) developed a funding
recommendation to forward to City Council. HCDC's funding recommendation is attached to the
resolution.
Discussion of Solutions:
This is the fourth year that these funding recommendations have been made by HCDC.
Previously, funding recommendations were made by a subcommittee of the City Council. The
City Council has the option of revising HCDC's recommendations.
Financial Impact:
The City budgeted $378,700 in the FY15 budget for financial aid to human service agencies
serving Iowa City residents. These funds consist of funds from the General Fund ($250,000),
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program ($100,000), and utility user fees
($28,700).
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the allocation of funds consistent with the HCDC recommendation, which is
attached to the resolution.

CALL TO ORDER:
The meeting was called to order by Chair Andrew Chappell.
APPROVAL OF DECEMBER 19, 2013 MINUTES:
The Commission agreed to defer approval of the minutes for the next meeting.
PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
None.
STAFF /COMMISSION COMMENT:
None.
Review of the FYI CDBG /HOME Allocation Process
Long explained that the applications are due January 17. He reviewed some of the important
dates listed on the printed timeline in the Commissioners' packets:
• February 20 — Q & A session with applicants
• March 6 — Review of groupings and consensus scenarios
• March 13 — Only necessary if business is not concluded at the March 6th meeting
Discussion Regarding FYI Aid to Agencies Funding Requests
• Discuss Aid to Agencies Applications
• Develop Aid to Agencies Budget Recommendation to Council
Chappell explained that this is a new process and that new guidelines were adopted by the City
Council. The guidelines will require more scrutiny of the applications. He reminded the
Commission that according to the guidelines at least 80% of the available funds need to be
allocated to those that have a high priority. Chappell reminded the commission that DVIP's
priority was classified as a high priority.
Persson stated that she has a background with issues of homelessness, as she was on the
Shelter House Board during the approximately ten years while the community was working to
get a new facility built. She said that she has questions she wishes to be included as part of the
minutes and hopes that City Council sees these questions:
• Is DVIP requesting to be considered as a homeless service provider purely for funding
priority purposes for this allocation or is it an overall shift in their mission?
• How will DVIP be entering their data? They receive emergency services grant funding.
All homeless service providers receiving this funding are mandated to participate in the
State's Homeless Management Information System, which is ServicePoint. If recognized
as a homeless service provider, will DVIP now participate in ServicePoint or do they
intend to continue to be exempt and continue to enter their data in ALICE as other
domestic violence providers do?
• If this is a paradigm shift, has DVIP collaborated with Shelter House and the local
homeless coordinating board to plan for this change or verify need for it? She said the
criteria talks about collaboration, cooperation and innovation and if this is a paradigm
shift then a look at that would be warranted, just like the 1105 project. She said in 2013
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
JANUARY 16, 2014
PAGE 4 of 7
of the 133 women sheltered by Shelter House, 47% had histories of domestic violence.
She repeatedly stated that if this is a paradigm shift, and she believes it is, collaboration,
cooperation and innovation is warranted. She said she thinks the Commission tonight
needs to address whether they will award money based on number of people sheltered
or some other criteria, and do they have comparable data to determine that. She said
she is asking that the Commission consider whether they are looking at collaboration,
cooperation in placement of more permanent housing, participation in the workforce and
access to mainstream resources. She said she was under the impression that this
Commission would have a say in this.
Chappell said the Commission always asks staff to make the determination where a given
project or agency fits in CITY STEPS. He said with this process the Commission invited
applicants to raise that issue if they thought the particular program they were asking for qualified
under a different priority. He said for the particular program for which DVIP was seeking funding,
and the Commission was clear that you can apply for and get priority for a specific program,
staff made that determination. He said speaking for himself, absent some specific reason not to
go along with that, he doesn't see any reason to question the high priority staff had given. He
told Persson that she can certainly disagree with that and let that affect her recommendation.
He said at this point the Commission has the information it had requested through the
application process beside minor clarifications members might ask tonight. He asked for other
follow -up on the points raised. There was none.
The Commission members revealed how they individually made their determinations on
funding, including only funding high priorities and funding only services that provide life- saving
services. They decided to start with high priorities and tentatively fund them just to get the
process going.
Persson raised the question of why the Iowa City Community School District Family Resource
Centers is not being funded through our tax dollars. Chappell noted that in the past he has not
funded any City projects, since no other organization has the ability to raise funds by taxes like
the City and the school district. Zimmermann Smith asked the ICCSD representative where the
funding for the program came from before it started coming from the City. Susie Poulton
explained that their federal grant ended and that money from some of the ICCSD funds can't be
used for this program. Chappell asked if there are funds that can be used and Poulton said
there were. Chappell said to him it's a question of the School Board prioritizing where they use
their money.
Several commissioners had reservations about the Community Corrections Improvement
Association. Although they thought the work they were doing had merit, Hacker noted that the
agency recently was hit by an unfavorable report from the State regarding mislabeling of where
funds were used.
Chappell asked the commission how they felt about the funding for DVIP. A majority of the
members said they thought DVIP and Shelter House should be funded fully and equally. A
representative from Shelter House was asked why they had requested nearly twice as much as
they did last year. She replied that the City's funding for them has diminished in the past few
years while the number of those being served has increased. In response to Jacobson's
question, she said that the City's funding had dropped in real dollars and as a percentage of
their total budget.
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
JANUARY 16, 2014
PAGE 5 of 7
Persson said she felt that Shelter House could not be funded at less than DVIP especially when
there are so many people with domestic violence in their background being housed by Shelter
House. She said she supports both agencies.
Bacon Curry noted in regard to Big Brothers, Big Sisters that the amount of request for funding
from Iowa City seemed much higher than the amount requested from Coralville based on the
number of clients served from each community.
Several Commissioners commented that Four Oaks seemed to be relatively flush, and
therefore, they did not recommend any funding.
Heath Brewer of Habitat for Humanity Furniture Project said they are struggling with no funding
now. He said they used to get funding from a City Landfill account, and according to Long that
will not happen again. Brewer said there are other resources in town for furniture but the idea
behind The Furniture Project is that they coordinate with many different agencies that are able
to give their clients a referral to The Furniture Project. He said there's a need for more, but they
can't afford it.
The Commission moved on to the medium priorities and entered starting points of funding.
Chappell asked the representative from Pathways why they had increased the amount
requested substantially. The Commission agreed that it's the only program of its kind in town
and is needed.
Jacobson had issues with HACAP as he reported he felt the wages they paid qualified some of
the workers for HACAP services. A representative from HACAP said their wages are
comparable to the private sector. Chappell asked if it is true that their budget is $25 million. The
representative said it is, but the Backpack Program, which is what they are requesting funding
for, is strictly by contribution and has no funding applied to it. Chappell said he views that the
same way he views the school district funding.
Persson urged the Commission to look at Shelter House and DVIP again. Chappell asked if
there are other Commissioners who want to adjust the number for Shelter House. Jacobson
suggested putting both of them at $45,000.
The Commission discussed and debated where to make adjustments in their tentative funding
numbers.
Persson questioned what happened if more or less funding is actually received. Chappell
explained that if they should get more or less funding, he proposed that every funded agency
will then receive a proportional increase or decrease up to their actual request.
Jacobson moved to recommend the Commission's Aid to Agencies funding
recommendation with the provision that if there is more funding, every agency gets
proportionally more up to their request, and if there is less each agency receives
proportionally less.
Persson seconded.
The motion carried 7 -0.

Elder Care
This correspondence will become a public record
I am not a citizen of Iowa City but of Johnson County. I do have several friends which are citizens of Iowa City, they use
the services of Elder Care in several different ways and I hate to see this large cut to these services.
Meals on Wheels has a very important place in my heart, my mother and I volunteered for many years in Pennsylvania,
when I moved she continued her involvement and then she was in need of the service. I was so thankful for such a great
organization in PA and I believe it should definitely be continued in our area.
Iowa City, "toots it's horn," for the wonderful services you provides. I don't all ways agree with some of these; but, the
Elder Care Services are a very important use of the Iowa City budget.
I also have a friend who is only 50 and is handicapped and there is not good services for people in this range of age to
find SAFE, affordable housing. She has been on the waiting list at E. Towers for years and no openings. Iowa City
shouldn't just go by age but by need.
Thank you for taking my request into consideration.

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 22, 2014
To: Thomas Markus, City Manager
From: Tracy Hightshoe, Neighborhood Services
Re: Consider a resolution adopting the FY15 Annual Action Plan
Introduction:
The City annually receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnerships Program (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). A public meeting and resolution considering approval of the FY15 Annual Action Plan, which
formally allocates the City's CDBG and HOME funds, will be held at the May 6 City Council meeting.
A draft copy of the FY15 Annual Action Plan is included in the City Council April 24, 2014
Information Packet. You can also find this document online at www.icgov.org /actionplan. At the
time of this memo, the City has not received any public comments.
History /Background:
The City anticipates it will have approximately $1,109,978 in CDBG and HOME funds available for
allocation to eligible projects or entities that provide housing, jobs and /or services to low- moderate
income residents.
Applications for CDBG and HOME funds became available in December 2013 and were due on
January 17, 2014. The Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) held a
question /answer session with the applicants on February 20, 2014, developed rankings for each
project and met on March 6 to formulate funding recommendations.
Discussion of Solution:
CDBG and HOME funding recommendations have been made by HCDC for several years. The City
Council has the option of revising these allocations or approving the plan (includes the FY15
CDBG /HOME budget) as presented.
Recommendation:
At the May 6 meeting, we are asking Council to consider approval of the FY15 Annual Action Plan
as recommended by HCDC. If needed, amendments or changes to this plan may be considered at
the May 6 meeting. If changes are made to the FY15 Annual Action Plan, Council could approve the
plan, as amended, that evening. The plan must be submitted to HUD by May 15, 2014.
Fiscal Impact:
The City budgeted $1,109,978 in the FY15 budget for eligible CDBG and HOME projects. These
funds represent HOME and CDBG entitlement funds from HUD, CDBG and HOME program income
and uncommitted or returned funds from prior projects that didn't proceed.
If you have any questions about the FY15 Annual Action Plan or the proposed projects please feel
free to contact me at 356 -5244 or at tracy - hightshoe @iowa - city.org.

Jacobson asked if the UniverCity program use realtors to sell /market the homes. Hightshoe
stated to date the City has not needed to use realtors for this program. The City uses online
marketing, has a website, issues press releases and has used other avenues to advertise the
program. There has been sufficient interest in the homes so that we have not had to use
realtors.
') Review of the FY15 Annual Action Plan (www.icpov.orq /actionplan)
jl(\ Hightshoe explained that the Annual Action Plan identifies how the City will utilize its federal
funds during FY15. The plan is a HUD required document and also includes information
regarding general program management such as monitoring practices, affirmative marketing,
resale /recapture provisions, program certifications, and identifying low income and minority
concentrations per census tract.
Hightshoe questioned the commission about their approval of the Targeted Rehab Program.
When the commission recommended $140,000, they didn't specifically address if a portion of
the allocation could be used for downpayment assistance per the revised application. In the
draft Action Plan, staff included $125,000 for rehab and $15,000 for downpayment assistance
for a total $140,000 allocation. She said if the Commission prefers that the funds only be used
for rehab, they need to make the recommendation that the $140,000 be utilized only for rehab.
Chappell said it didn't seem that anyone had any concerns about that particular part of the
project.
Hightshoe explained that the public comment period goes from April 4 to May 6. The City
Council will hold a public meeting on May 6. The Council can either accept the plan as
recommended by HCDC or they may alter it. The plan must be submitted to HUD by May 15,
2014.
Jacobson asked how staff tracks if the jobs in economic development projects are going to low -
moderate income persons. Hightshoe stated that businesses are required to give employees an
income survey for any new position created during the first year. The income survey must be
kept in the personnel file. Businesses either send staff all the surveys at the end of the year or
staff monitors their employee files as it relates to the CDBG funds. An employee can refuse to
complete the survey, but they have to be considered over income on the annual report. At the
end of the year, the business completes a report identifying the income for each position
created that year. CDBG does not have a specified time the business must retain that position.
The City elects to track the jobs for a year.
Perrson moved to recommend the approval of the FY15 Annual Action Plan with minor
typographical corrections.
Matthes seconded.

Re: Resolution Adopting the FY14 Annual Action Plan Amendment #2
Introduction
A resolution considering approval of the FY14 Annual Action Plan Amendment #2 will be held at the
May 6, 2014 City Council meeting. The amendment reduces the total number of properties to be
purchased from two to one for the Charm Homes LLC project. The amendment is included in the
April 24, 2014 City Council information packet.
History/ Background
Charm Homes LLC was allocated $61,650 in HOME funds to acquire two four - bedroom homes
accessible to frail elders and persons with disabilities. Under the HOME program, the recipient has
up to a year to identify a property and enter an agreement with the City. Due to difficulty finding
two affordable units that are accessible to persons with a disability within this time period, Charm
Homes requests that the entire allocation be used for a property identified at 909 Sandusky Drive.
The home would serve four frail elders or persons with a disability.
Discussion of Solution
Allowing Charm Homes to reduce the number of properties acquired would allow them to retain the
HOME funds awarded. The increased HOME financing will reduce the amount of private financing
needed and keep the units affordable.
Recommendation
At the May 6 meeting, we are asking that City Council consider approval of the FY14 Annual Action
Plan Amendment #2 as recommended by the Housing and Community Development Commission
(HCDC). At the time of this memo, the City has received no written comments from the public
concerning the FY14 Annual Action Plan Amendment. HCDC reviewed this request at their April 17,
2014 meeting and recommended approval. The preliminary HCDC minutes are attached herein.
Fiscal Impact
These funds represent HOME entitlement funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
If you have any questions about the amendment please contact me at 356 -5230 or at tracy-

Review of the FY14 Annual Action Plan Amendment #2
Hightshoe explained that the Commission had allocated HOME funds to Charm Homes to
purchase two homes in FY14. She said they have identified one home, but unable to identify a
second home that meets their accessibility needs. Charms was also allocated FY13 HOME
funds to purchase two homes. They acquired one and are looking for the second. They
believe they will locate a second home to complete their FY13 agreement, but do not believe
they could identify a third home by the end of the fiscal year. Charms is requesting an
amendment to utilize the FY14 funds for one home as opposed to two. This reduces the
beneficiaries from eight to four and requires an action plan amendment. Hightshoe stated staff
is recommending approval of this request. This will reduce the amount of private financing
required and helps keep the units affordable. The City would not have time to reallocate the
funds to another activity per HOME regulations. If not utilized, the funds may be recaptured by
HUD.
Chappell said this isn't something he normally would support, but they just can't afford not to
spend the funds at this point.
Bacon Curry moved to recommend the approval of the FY14 Annual Action Plan
Amendment #2.
Zimmermann Smith seconded.
A vote was taken and the motion carried 9 -0.
Discuss FY14 Projects that have not Performed per the Unsuccessful or Delayed Projects
Policy
Hightshoe explained that the Policy states that if a CDBG recipient hasn't spent at least 50% of
its award by March 15, the project must come back to the Commission for review. The
commission may either grant an extension or recommend recapture and reallocation of the
funds. She said none of the public facilities met the expenditure threshold. She stated that
being said, they have all procured a contractor and work has started. MECCA is nearly
complete, but not billed yet. Free Medical Clinic started their project early this year, but hasn't
billed yet. Mayor's Youth got a slow start due to the occupancy and parking issues, but
contractors are hired and work commenced. Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County
procured a contractor for the landscaping work and work will be done as weather permits.
Hightshoe stated she would be concerned if a recipient hadn't procured a contractor by this
time, but the work is proceeding and all of them should be complete or nearly complete by June
30. For smaller projects, the contractors may wait till the end to bill.
The Commission agreed to take no action, meaning that the funds will be automatically
extended.
Discussion of the Community Development Celebration
Hightshoe said the City did not have a Community Development Celebration last year. She
requested that the commission form a subcommittee to brainstorm ways to advertise the impact
of CDBG /HOME funds with or without a celebration as previously held in the past.

Section 2.4 Facts Supporting Tax- Exemption Classification
Governmental Bonds
Private Business Use/Private_Security or Payment Tests
The Bonds are considered to be governmental bonds, not subject to the provisions of the
alternate minimum tax. The Proceeds will be used for the purposes described in Section
2.3 hereof. These bonds are not private activity bonds because no amount of Proceeds of
the Refunded Bonds or Bonds were used or is to be used in a trade or business carried on
by a non - governmental unit. Rather, the Proceeds will be used to finance the general
government operations and facilities of the Issuer described in Section 2.3 hereof. None
of the payment of principal or interest on the Bonds will be derived from, or secured by,
money or property used in a trade or business of a non - governmental unit. In addition,
none of the governmental operations or facilities of the Issuer being financed with the
Proceeds of the Bonds are subject to any lease, management contract or other similar
arrangement or to any arrangement for use other than as by the general public.
Private Loan Financing Test
No amount of Proceeds of the Refunded Bonds or Bonds were used or is to be
used directly or indirectly to make or finance loans to persons other than governmental
units.
Refunding of Governmental or Private Activity Exempt Facilily Bonds (where Refunded Bonds
must meet requirements)
The Issuer will use the Proceeds of the Current Refunded Portion of the Bonds to refund
the Refunded Bonds. The Issuer has complied with the covenants and restrictions with respect to
11
arbitrage and investment requirements, yield restrictions, and post- closing restrictions on
reissuance, reimbursement and change in use imposed by the Code and Regulations on the
Refunded Bonds since the issue date of the Refunded Bonds so as to maintain the tax- exempt
status of the interest on the Refunded Bonds. The Issuer will comply with all certifications set
forth in Article VIII herein.
The Issuer has complied with and will continue to comply with all rebate requirements
applicable to the Refunded Bonds.
Section 2.5 Facts Supporting Temporary Periods for Proceeds
(a) Time Test. Not later than six months after the Closing Date, the Issuer will incur a
substantial binding obligation to a third party to expend at least 5% of the net Sale Proceeds of
the Bonds.
(b) Expenditure Test. Not less than 85% of the net Sale Proceeds will be expended for
Project costs, including the reimbursement of other funds expended to date, within a three -year
temporary period from the Closing Date.
(c) Due Diligence Test. Not later than six months after Closing, work on the New Money
Portion of the Project will have commenced and will proceed with due diligence to completion.
(d) Due Diligence Test. The Issuer has incurred a substantial binding obligation to
accomplish the refunding. The refunding will proceed with due diligence to completion.
(e) Proceeds of the Bonds representing less than six months accrued interest on the Bonds
will be spent within six months of this date to pay interest on the Bonds, and will be invested
without restriction as to yield for a temporary period not in excess of six months.
Section 2.6 Resolution Funds at Restricted or Unrestricted Yield
(a) Proceeds of the Bonds will be held and accounted for in the manner provided in the
Resolution. The Issuer has not and does not expect to create or establish any other bond fund,
reserve fund, or similar fund or account for the Bonds. The Issuer has not and will not pledge
any moneys or Taxable Obligations in order to pay debt service on the Bonds or restrict the use
of such moneys or Taxable Obligations so as to give reasonable assurances of their availability
for such purposes.
(b) Any monies which are invested beyond a temporary period are expected to constitute
less than a major portion of the Bonds or to be restricted for investment at a yield not greater
than one - eighth of one percent above the Bond Yield.
(c) The Issuer has established and will use the Bond Fund primarily to achieve a proper
matching of revenues and debt service within each Bond Year and the Issuer will apply moneys
deposited into the Bond Fund to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Such Fund will
be depleted at least once each Bond Year except for a reasonable carryover amount. The
12
carryover amount will not exceed the greater of (1) one year's earnings on the Bond Fund or (2)
one - twelfth of Annual Debt Service. The Issuer will spend moneys deposited from time to time
into such fund within 13 months after the date of deposit. Revenues, intended to be used to pay
debt service on the Bonds, will be deposited into the Bond Fund as set forth in the Resolution.
The Issuer will spend interest earned on moneys in such fund not more than 12 months after
receipt. Accordingly, the Issuer will treat the Bond Fund as a bona fide debt service fund as
defined in Regulation 1.148 -1(b).
Investment of amounts on deposit in the Bond Fund will not be subject to arbitrage rebate
requirements as the Bonds meet the safe harbor set forth in Regulation 1.148 -3(k), because the
average annual debt service on the Bonds will not exceed $2,500,000.
(d) The Minor Portion of the Bonds will be invested without regard to yield.
Section 2.7 Pertaining to Yields
(a) The purchase price of all Taxable Obligations to which restrictions apply under this
Certificate as to investment yield or rebate of Excess Earnings, if any, has been and shall be
calculated using (i) the price taking into account discount, premium and accrued interest, as
applicable, actually paid or (ii) the fair market value if less than the price actually paid and if
such Taxable Obligations were not purchased directly from the United States Treasury. The
Issuer will acquire all such Taxable Obligations directly from the United States Treasury or in an
arm's length transaction without regard to any amounts paid to reduce the yield on such Taxable
Obligations. The Issuer will not pay or permit the payment of any amounts (other than to the
United States) to reduce the yield on any Taxable Obligations. Obligations pledged to the
payment of debt service on the Bonds, after they have been acquired by the Issuer will be treated
as though they were acquired for their fair market value on the date of such pledge or deposit.
(b) Qualified guarantees have not been used in computing yield.
(c) The Bond Yield has been computed as not less than 1.6061838589 percent. This
Bond Yield has been computed on the basis of a purchase price for the Bonds equal to the Issue
Price.
ARTICLE III

Section 3.2 Rebate Fund
(a) In the Resolution, the Issuer has covenanted to pay to the United States the Rebate
Amount, an amount equal to the Excess Earnings on the Gross Proceeds Funds, if any, at the
times and in the manner required or permitted and subject to stated special rules and allowable
exceptions.
(b) The Issuer may establish a fund pursuant to the Resolution and this Certificate which
is herein referred to as the Rebate Fund. The Issuer will invest and expend amounts on deposit
in the Rebate Fund in accordance with this Certificate.
(c) Moneys in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Issuer or its designee and, subject to
Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 6.1 hereof, shall be held for future payment to the United States as
contemplated under the provisions of this Certificate and shall not constitute part of the trust
estate held for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds or the Issuer.
(d) The Issuer will pay to the United States from legally available money of the Issuer
(whether or not such available money is on deposit in any fund or account related to the Bonds)
any amount which is required to be paid to the United States.
Section 3.3 Exceptions to Rebate
The Issuer reasonably expects that the Bonds are eligible for one or more exceptions from
the arbitrage rebate rules set forth in the Regulations. If any Proceeds are ineligible, or become
ineligible, for an exception to the arbitrage rebate rules, the Issuer will comply with the
provisions of this Article III. A description of the applicable rebate exceptions is as follows:
• Six Month Exception — as to the New Money Portion and Refunding Portion
The Gross Proceeds of the Bonds are expected to be fully expended for the governmental
purposes for which the Bonds were issued no later than six months after the date of issue. If
contrary to the reasonable expectations of the Issuer, the Gross Proceeds are not expended within
six months, the Issuer will comply with the arbitrage rebate requirements of the Code.
• Eighteen -Month Exception — as to the New Money Portion
The Gross Proceeds of the Bonds are expected to be expended for the governmental
purposes for which the Bonds were issued in accordance with the following schedule:
1) 15 percent spent within six months of the Closing Date;
2) 60 percent spent within one year of the Closing Date;
3) 100 percent spent within eighteen months of the Closing Date (subject to 5
percent retainage for not more than one year).
In any event, the Issuer expects that the 5% reasonable retainage will be spent within 30 months
of the Closing Date. For purposes of determining compliance with the six -month and twelve-
14
month spending periods, the amount of investment earnings included shall be based on the
Issuer's reasonable expectations that the average annual interest rate on investments will be not
more than 6 %. For purposes of determining compliance with the eighteen -month spending
period, the amount of investment earnings included shall be based on actual earnings. If the
Issuer fails to meet the foregoing expenditure schedule, the Issuer shall comply with the arbitrage
rebate requirements of the Code.
0 Election with respect to future earnings — as to the New Money Portion
Pursuant to Section 1.148- 7(h)(i)(3) of the Regulations, the Issuer shall calculate the
amount of future earnings to be used in determining compliance with the first three spending
periods based on its reasonable expectations that the average annual interest rate on investments
of the ACP will be not more than 5 %. Compliance with the final spending period shall be
calculated using actual earnings.
If the Issuer fails to meet the foregoing expenditure schedule, the Issuer shall comply
with the arbitrage rebate requirements of the Code.
Section 3.4 Calculation of Rebate Amount
(a) As soon after each Computation Date as practicable, the Issuer shall, if necessary,
calculate and determine the Excess Earnings on the Gross Proceeds Funds (the "Rebate
Amount "). All calculations and determinations with respect to the Rebate Amount will be made
on the basis of actual facts as of the Computation Date and reasonable expectations as to future
events.
(b) If the Rebate Amount exceeds the amount currently on deposit in the Rebate Fund,
the Issuer may deposit an amount in the Rebate Fund such that the balance in the Rebate Fund
after such deposit equals the Rebate Amount. If the amount in the Rebate Fund exceeds the
Rebate Amount, the Issuer may withdraw such excess amount provided that such withdrawal can
be made from amounts originally transferred to the Rebate Fund and not from earnings thereon,
which may not be transferred, and only if such withdrawal may be made without liquidating
investments at a loss.
Section 3.5 Rebate Requirements and the Bond Fund
It is expected that the Bond Fund described in the Resolution and Section 2.6(c) of this
Certificate will be treated as a bona fide debt service fund as defined in Regulation 1.148 -1(b).
As such, any amount earned during a Bond Year on the Bond Fund and amounts earned on such
amounts, if allocated to the Bond Fund, will not be taken into account in calculating the Rebate
Amount if the annual gross earnings on the Bond Fund for such Bond Year are less than
$100,000 or if average annual debt service will not exceed $2,500,000. However, should annual
gross earnings exceed $100,000 or should the Bond Fund cease to be treated as a bona fide debt
service fund, the Bond Fund will become subject to the rebate requirements set forth in Section
3.4 hereof.
15
Section 3.6 Investment of the Rebate Fund
(a) Immediately upon a transfer to the Rebate Fund, the Issuer may invest all amounts in
the Rebate Fund not already invested and held in the Rebate Fund, to the extent possible, in (1)
SLGS, such investments to be made at a yield of not more than one - eighth of one percent above
the Bond Yield, (2) Tax Exempt Obligations, (3) direct obligations of the United States or (4)
certificates of deposit of any bank or savings and loan association. All investments in the Rebate
Fund shall be made to mature not later than the next Rebate Payment Date.
(b) If the Issuer invests in SLGS, the Issuer shall file timely subscription forms for such
securities (if required). To the extent possible, amounts received from maturing SLGS shall be
reinvested immediately in zero yield SLGS maturing on or before the next Rebate Payment Date.
Section 3.7 Payment to the United States
(a) On each Rebate Payment Date, the Issuer will pay to the United States at least ninety
percent (90 %) of the Rebate Amount less a computation credit of $1,000 per Bond Year for
which the payment is made.
(b) The Issuer will pay to the United States not later than sixty (60) days after the Final
Bond Retirement Date all the rebatable arbitrage as of such date and any income attributable to
such rebatable arbitrage as described in Regulation 1.148 - 3(0(2).
(c) If necessary, on each Rebate Payment Date, the Issuer will mail a check to the Internal
Revenue Service Center, Ogden, UT 84201. Each payment shall be accompanied by a copy of
Form 8038 -T, Arbitrage Rebate, filed with respect to the Bonds or other information reporting
form as is required to comply with the Code and applicable Regulations..
Section 3.8 Records
(a) The Issuer will keep and retain adequate records with respect to the Bonds, the Gross
Proceeds Funds, the Bond Fund, and the Rebate Fund until six years after the Final Bond
Retirement Date. Such records shall include descriptions of all calculations of amounts
transferred to the Rebate Fund, if any, and descriptions of all calculations of amounts paid to the
United States as required by this Certificate. Such records will also show all amounts earned on
moneys invested in such funds, and the actual dates and amounts of all principal, interest and
redemption premiums (if any) paid on the Bonds.
(b) Records relating to the investments in such Funds shall completely describe all
transfers, deposits, disbursements and earnings including:
(i) a complete list of all investments and reinvestments of amounts in each such Fund
including, if applicable, purchase price, purchase date, type of security, accrued interest

market value of the investment on the date pledged to the payment of the Bonds or the
Closing Date if different from the purchase date.
(ii) the amount and source of each payment to, and the amount, purpose and payee of
each payment from, each such Fund.
Section 3.9 Additional Payments
The Issuer hereby agrees to pay to the United States from legally available money of the
Issuer (whether or not such available money is on deposit in any fund or account related to the
Bonds) any amount which is required to be paid to the United States, but which is not available
in a fund related to the Bonds for transfer to the Rebate Fund or payment to the United States.
ARTICLE IV
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
Section 4.1 Avoidance of Prohibited Payments
The Issuer will not enter into any transaction that reduces the amount required to be
deposited into the Rebate Fund or paid to the United States because such transaction results in a
smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length
and had the Bond Yield not been relevant to either party. The Issuer will not invest or direct the
investment of any funds in a manner which reduces an amount required to be paid to the United
States because such transaction results in a small profit or larger loss than would have resulted if
the transaction had been at arm's length and had the Bond Yield not been relevant to the Issuer.
In particular, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Resolution, the
Issuer will not invest or direct the investment of any funds in a manner which would violate any
provision of this Article IV.
Section 4.2 Market Price Requirement
(a) The Issuer will not purchase or direct the purchase of Taxable Obligations for more
than the then available market price for such Taxable Obligations. The Issuer will not sell,
liquidate or direct the sale or liquidation of Taxable Obligations for less than the then available
market price.
(b) For purposes of this Certificate, United States Treasury obligations purchased directly
from the United States Treasury will be deemed to be purchased at the market price.
Section 4.3 Investment in Certificates of Deposit
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Resolution, the
Issuer will invest or direct the investment of funds on deposit in any Gross Proceeds Fund, the
Bond Fund, and the Rebate Fund, in a certificate of deposit of a bank or savings bank which is
permitted by law and by the Resolution only if the purchase price of such a certificate of deposit
17
is treated as its fair market value on the purchase date and if the yield on the certificate of deposit
is not less than (1) the yield on reasonably comparable direct obligations of the United States;
and (2) the highest yield that is published or posted by the provider to be currently available from
the provider on reasonably comparable certificates of deposit offered to the public.
(b) The certificate of deposit described in paragraph 4.3(a) above must be executed by a
dealer who maintains an active secondary market in comparable certificates of deposit and must
be based on actual trades adjusted to reflect the size and term of that certificate of deposit and the
stability and reputation of the bank or savings bank issuing the certificate of deposit.
Section 4.4 Investment Pursuant to Investment Contracts and Agreements
The Issuer will invest or direct the investment of funds on deposit in the Gross Proceeds
Funds, the Bond Fund, and the Rebate Fund pursuant to an investment contract (including a
repurchase agreement) only if all of the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) The Issuer makes a bona fide solicitation for the purchase of the investment.
A bona fide solicitation is a solicitation that satisfies all of the following requirements:
(1) The bid specifications are in writing and are timely forwarded to potential
providers.
(2) The bid specifications include all material terms of the bid. A term is material
if it may directly or indirectly affect the yield or the cost of the investment.
(3) The bid specifications include a statement notifying potential providers that
submission of a bid is a representation that the potential provider did not consult
with any other potential provider about its bid, that the bid was determined without
regard to any other formal or informal agreement that the potential provider has
with the issuer or any other person (whether or not in connection with the Bonds),
and that the bid is not being submitted solely as a courtesy to the issuer or any
other person for purposes of satisfying the requirements of paragraph
(d)(6)(iii)(11)(1) or (2) of section 1.148 -5 of the Regulations.
(4) The terms of the bid specifications are commercially reasonable. A term is
commercially reasonable if there is a legitimate business purpose for the term other
than to increase the purchase price or reduce the yield of the investment.
(5) For purchases of guaranteed investment contracts only, the terms of the
solicitation take into account the Issuer's reasonably expected deposit and
drawdown schedule for the amounts to be invested.
(6) All potential providers have an equal opportunity to bid and no potential
provider is given the opportunity to review other bids (i.e., a last look) before
providing a bid.
18
(7) At least three reasonably competitive providers are solicited for bids. A
reasonably competitive provider is a provider that has an established industry
reputation as a competitive provider of the type of investments being purchased.
(b) The bids received by the Issuer meet all of the following requirements:
(1) The Issuer receives at least three bids from providers that the Issuer solicited
under a bona fide solicitation meeting the requirements of paragraph (d)(6)(iii)(A)
of section 1.148 -5 of the Regulations and that do not have a material financial
interest in the issue. A lead underwriter in a negotiated underwriting transaction is
deemed to have a material financial interest in the issue until 15 days after the
issue date of the issue. In addition, any entity acting as a financial advisor with
respect to the purchase of the investment at the time the bid specifications are
forwarded to potential providers has a material financial interest in the issue. A
provider that is a related parry to a provider that has a material financial interest in
the issue is deemed to have a material financial interest in the issue.
(2) At least one of the three bids described in paragraph (d)(6)(iii)(B)(1) of section
1.148 -5 of the Regulations is from a reasonably competitive provider, within the
meaning of paragraph (d)(6)(iii)(A)(7) of section 1.148 -5 of the Regulations.
(3) If the Issuer uses an agent to conduct the bidding process, the agent did not bid
to provide the investment.
(c) The winning bid meets the following requirements:
(1) Guaranteed investment contracts. If the investment is a guaranteed investment
contract, the winning bid is the highest yielding bona fide bid (determined net of
any broker's fees).
(2) Other investments. If the investment is not a guaranteed investment contract,
the winning bid is the lowest cost bona fide bid (including any broker's fees).
(d) The provider of the investments or the obligor on the guaranteed investment contract
certifies the administrative costs that it pays (or expects to pay, if any) to third parties in
connection with supplying the investment.
(e) The Issuer will retain the following records with the bond documents until three years
after the last outstanding bond is redeemed:
(1) For purchases of guaranteed investment contracts, a copy of the contract, and
for purchases of investments other than guaranteed investment contracts, the
purchase agreement or confirmation.
(2) The receipt or other record of the amount actually paid by the Issuer for the
investments, including a record of any administrative costs paid by the Issuer, and
19
the certification under paragraph (d)(6)(iii)(D) of section 1.148 -5 of the
Regulations.
(3) For each bid that is submitted, the name of the person and entity submitting the
bid, the time and date of the bid, and the bid results.
(4) The bid solicitation form and, if the terms of the purchase agreement or the

submitted bid is modified, a brief statement explaining the deviation and stating
the purpose for the deviation.
(5) For purchases of investments other than guaranteed investment contracts, the
cost of the most efficient portfolio of State and Local Government Series
Securities, determined at the time that the bids were required to be submitted
pursuant to the terms of the bid specifications.
Section 4.5 Records
The Issuer will maintain records of all purchases, sales, liquidations, investments,
reinvestments, redemptions, disbursements, deposits, and transfers of amounts on deposit.
Section 4.6 Investments to be Legal
All investments required to be made pursuant to this Certificate shall be made to the
extent permitted by law. In the event that any such investment is determined to be ultra vires, it
shall be liquidated and the proceeds thereof shall be invested in a legal investment, provided that
prior to reinvesting such proceeds, the Issuer shall obtain an opinion of Bond Counsel to the
effect that such reinvestment will not cause the Bonds to become arbitrage bonds under Sections
103, 148, 149, or any other applicable provision of the Code.

the reasonable expectations set forth in Article II hereof will be realized. The Issuer reasonably
expects to comply with all covenants contained in this Certificate.
ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1 Opinion of Bond Counsel, Amendments
The various provisions of this Certificate need not be observed and this Certificate may
be amended or supplemented at any time by the Issuer if the Issuer receives an opinion or

the Bonds to become "arbitrage bonds" under the Code and that the terms of such amendment or

ownership, transfer, payment and exchange of the Bonds, unless the Issuer determines to permit

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

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

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. 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
-12-
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.

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

be cancelled by the Registrar. All Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar shall be destroyed

(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 Agent's obligation to hold such funds
shall continue for a period equal to two years and six months following the date on which such
interest or principal became due, whether at maturity, or at the date fixed for redemption thereof,

whatever nature shall be made upon the Issuer.

other reasonable regulations as the Issuer or its agent may prescribe and paying such expenses as
the Issuer may incur in connection therewith.

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
