Overview
Recommendations and financial impacts for 2021A bonds were discussed at the October 26, 2020
Council work session.
The debt will be repaid with a combination of property taxes and revenues received from
Independent School District #194 per a Joint Powers Agreement approved in August 2020.
A public hearing is being held on November 16, 2020 pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.1812 to 469.1815 and the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (“TEFRA”)
pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to consider the
property tax abatement (the “Abatement”) in connection with financing certain parking lot
improvements (the “Improvements”) to the Ames ice arena (the “Facility”) and a proposal that the
City issue its general obligation tax abatement bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed $800,000 (the “Bonds”), under Sections 469.1813 and Chapter 475, as amended, for the
purpose of financing the Improvements.
Primary Issues to Consider
• 2021A
o Bond Structure – The term of the bonds is 20 years. The structure of the
2021A bonds is compliant with the City’s Debt Policy.
o Call Provision - Bonds maturing on and after 2/1/2030 may be prepaid at a
price of par plus accrued interest on 02/01/2029 or any date thereafter.

“Improvements”) to the Ames and Hasse ice arenas (the “Project”).
1.03. On the date hereof, this Council conducted a public hearing:

costs of acquiring or constructing the Project or to the payment of bonds of the City issued to
finance costs of acquiring or constructing the Project.
3.03. The Abatement may be modified or terminated at any time by the City Council in

BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
The Bonds will be issued by means of a book-entry system with no physical distribution of bond certificates made to the public. The Bonds will be issued in
fully registered form and one bond certificate, representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be registered in the name
of Cede & Co. as nominee of Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York, which will act as securities depository of the Bonds.
Individual purchases of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof of a
single maturity through book entries made on the books and records of DTC and its participants. Principal and
interest are payable by the City through U.S. Bank, National Association, St. Paul, Minnesota (the “Paying
Agent/Registrar”), to DTC, or its nominee as registered owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest
payments to participants of DTC will be the responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to
beneficial owners by participants will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial
owners. The successful bidder, as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the bond
certificates with DTC. The City will pay reasonable and customary charges for the services of the Paying
Agent/Registrar.
* The City reserves the right to increase or decrease the principal amount of the Bonds. Any such increase or decrease will be made in
multiples of $5,000 and may be made in any maturity. If any maturity is adjusted, the purchase price will also be adjusted to maintain the
same gross spread.

4837-1735-0865\2
ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUE PRICE
(HOLD-THE-OFFERING-PRICE RULE MAY APPLY – BIDS NOT CANCELLABLE)
In order to establish the issue price of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer requires bidders to
agree to the following, and by submitting a bid, each bidder agrees to the following.
If a bid is submitted by a potential underwriter, the bidder confirms that (i) the underwriters have offered or
reasonably expect to offer the Bonds to the public on or before the date of the award at the offering price (the
“initial offering price”) for each maturity as set forth in the bid and (ii) the bidder, if it is the winning bidder, shall
require any agreement among underwriters, selling group agreement, retail distribution agreement or other
agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to which it is a party to include provisions
requiring compliance by all parties to such agreements with the provisions contained herein. For purposes hereof,
Bonds with a separate CUSIP number constitute a separate “maturity,” and the public does not include
underwriters of the Bonds (including members of a selling group or retail distribution group) or persons related to
underwriters of the Bonds.
If, however, a bid is submitted for the bidder’s own account in a capacity other than as an underwriter of the
Bonds, and the bidder has no current intention to sell, reoffer, or otherwise dispose of the Bonds, the bidder shall
notify the Issuer to that effect at the time it submits its bid and shall provide a certificate to that effect in place of
the certificate otherwise required below.
If the winning bidder intends to act as an underwriter, the Issuer shall advise the winning bidder at or prior to the
time of award whether (i) the competitive sale rule or (ii) the “hold-the-offering price” rule applies, as described
in the following paragraph.
If the Issuer advises the winning bidder that the requirements for a competitive sale have not been satisfied and
that the hold-the-offering price rule applies, the winning bidder shall (1) upon the request of the Issuer confirm
that the underwriters did not offer or sell any maturity of the Bonds to any person at a price higher than the initial
offering price of that maturity during the period starting on the award date and ending on the earlier of (a) the
close of the fifth business day after the sale date or (b) the date on which the underwriters have sold at least 10%
of that maturity to the public at or below the initial offering price; and (2) at or prior to closing, deliver to the
Issuer a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, together with a copy of the pricing
wire.
If the Issuer advises the winning bidder that the requirements for a competitive sale have been satisfied and that
the competitive sale rule applies, the winning bidder will be required to deliver to the Issuer at or prior to closing
a certification, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as to the reasonably expected initial offering
price as of the award date.
Any action to be taken or documentation to be received by the Issuer pursuant hereto may be taken or received on
behalf of the Issuer by the Municipal Advisor.
Bidders should prepare their bids on the assumption that the Bonds will be subject to the “hold-the-
offering-price” rule. Any bid submitted pursuant to the Terms of Proposal shall be considered a firm offer
for the purchase of the Bonds, and bids submitted will not be subject to cancellation or withdrawal.
4837-1735-0865\2
ADJUSTMENTS TO PRINCIPAL AMOUNT AFTER PROPOSALS
The City reserves the right to increase or decrease the principal amount of the Bonds. Any such increase or decrease
will be made in multiples of $5,000 and may be made in any maturity. If any maturity is adjusted, the purchase
price will also be adjusted to maintain the same gross spread. Such adjustments shall be made promptly after the
sale and prior to the award of Proposals by the City and shall be at the sole discretion of the City. The successful
bidder may not withdraw or modify its Proposal once submitted to the City for any reason, including post-sale
adjustment. Any adjustment shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon the successful bidder.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
Bonds maturing on February 1, 2030 through 2041 are subject to redemption and prepayment at the option of the City on February 1, 2029 and any date
thereafter, at a price of par plus accrued interest. Redemption may be in whole or in part of the Bonds subject to prepayment. If redemption is in part, the
maturities and principal amounts within each maturity to be redeemed shall be determined by the City and if only part of the Bonds having a common
maturity date are called for prepayment, the specific Bonds to be prepaid shall be chosen by lot by the Bond Registrar.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond
nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the successful bidder thereof to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in
accordance with terms of the purchase contract. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers shall be paid by the
successful bidder.
DELIVERY
Delivery of the Bonds will be within thirty-five days after award, subject to an approving legal opinion by Dorsey
& Whitney LLC, Bond Counsel. The legal opinion will be paid by the City and delivery will be anywhere in the
continental United States without cost to the successful bidder at DTC.
TYPE OF PROPOSAL
Proposals of not less than $7,990,560 (99.20%) and accrued interest on the principal sum of $8,055,000 must be filed with the undersigned prior to the time
of sale. Proposals must be unconditional except as to legality. Proposals for the Bonds should be delivered to Northland Securities, Inc. and addressed to:
Jerilyn Erickson, Finance Director
Lakeville City Hall
20195 Holyoke Ave
Lakeville, Minnesota 55044
A good faith deposit (the “Deposit”) in the amount of $161,100 in the form of a federal wire transfer (payable to the order of the City) is only required from
the apparent winning bidder, and must be received within two hours after the time stated for the receipt of Proposals. The apparent winning bidder will receive
notification of the wire instructions from the Municipal Advisor promptly after the sale. If the Deposit is not received from the apparent winning bidder in the
time allotted, the City may choose to reject their Proposal and then proceed to offer the Bonds to the next lowest bidder based on the terms of their original
proposal, so long as said bidder wires funds for the Deposit amount within two hours of said offer.
The City will retain the Deposit of the successful bidder, the amount of which will be deducted at settlement and no interest will accrue to the successful
bidder. In the event the successful bidder fails to comply with the accepted Proposal, said amount will be retained by the City. No Proposal can be
withdrawn after the time set for receiving Proposals unless the meeting of the City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to
another date without award of the Bonds having been made.
AWARD
The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true interest cost (TIC) basis. The City’s computation of the interest
rate of each Proposal, in accordance with customary practice, will be controlling. In the event of a tie, the sale of the Bonds will be awarded by lot. The City
will reserve the right to: (i) waive non-substantive informalities of any Proposal or of matters relating to the receipt of Proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii)
reject all Proposals without cause, and (iii) reject any Proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply with the terms herein.
INFORMATION FROM SUCCESSFUL BIDDER
4837-1735-0865\2
The successful bidder will be required to provide, in a timely manner, certain information relating to the initial offering price of the Bonds necessary to
compute the yield on the Bonds pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
By awarding the Bonds to any underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a Proposal therefor, the City agrees that, no more than seven business days
after the date of such award, it shall provide to the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded, the Final Official Statement
in an electronic format as prescribed by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB).
FULL CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING
The City will covenant in the resolution awarding the sale of the Bonds and in a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking to provide, or cause to be provided,
annual financial information, including audited financial statements of the City, and notices of certain material events, as required by SEC Rule 15c2-12.
NOT BANK QUALIFIED
The City will not designate the Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
BOND INSURANCE AT UNDERWRITER’S OPTION
If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment therefor at the option
of the successful bidder, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the issuance of any such commitment shall
be at the sole option and expense of the successful bidder of the Bonds. Any increase in the costs of issuance of the
Bonds resulting from such purchase of insurance shall be paid by the successful bidder, except that, if the City has
requested and received a rating on the Bonds from a rating agency, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating
agency fees shall be the responsibility of the successful bidder. Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the
policy after the Bonds have been awarded to the successful bidder shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal
by the successful bidder to accept delivery on the Bonds.
The City reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals, to waive informalities and to adjourn the sale.
