Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Approve resolution No. 99-063 awarding the sale of
$2,565,000 Taxable General Obligation Bonds for the Westbrooke Patio Homes Housing Improvement
Area, resolution No. 99-064 awarding the sale of $1.545,000 General Obligation Storm Sewer Revenue
Bonds for the capital improvements in the Storm Sewer fund and resolution No. 99-065 awarding the sale of
$850,000 General Obligation PIR Bonds for capital improvements in the Permanent Improvement fund.
With this motion, the sale of the bonds will be awarded based on the recommendation of Ehlers and
Associates, Inc., financial advisor for this project.
Overview
Housing Improvement Bonds: The City of Hopkins has the authority to establish housing improvement areas
under the Housing Improvement Act (1994 Minnesota Laws, Chapter 587, Article 9, Section 22 through 31).
Within a housing improvement area, the City can sell bonds to pay for various improvements to individual
housing units and common areas. Those bonds are then repaid through fees imposed on the owners of the units.
0 The City has held the necessary public hearings and has authorized the creation of the Westbrooke Patio Homes
Housing Improvement Area and established the fees. An executed development agreement between the
Association and the City requires the City to sell bonds before September 1, 1999, subject to unavoidable delays
and the City's ability to issue the Bonds under existing market conditions.
Storm Sewer Revenue Bonds: The City of Hopkins has the authority to issue revenue bonds to pay for any
utility or other public convenience from which a revenue is or may be derived. The current and future projects
in the storm sewer fund qualify for bond issuance. In order to pay for the bonds the storm sewer rate was
increased in 1999 to generate an additional $150,000 in revenues each year. The bonds being issued will pay for
projects approved in 1999 and those listed in the preliminary capital improvement plan for the year 2000 and
2001, for a total of approximately $1,660,500. The current Storm Sewer rate should be sufficient to maintain
operating expenses and pay for principal and interest on the new bonds.
Revolving Improvement Bonds: The City of Hopkins has the authority to issue Permanent Improvement
Revolving fund bonds to pay for any improvement of which the cost is to be partially assessed. The assessment
of $170,573 for the street improvement project #98-09 exceeds the 20% threshold required for the issuance of
bonds. The P .I.R. fund will have a negative working capital balance within one year unless we issue these
bonds. The last time the city issued improvement bonds was in 1992. The current debt levy of $330,000 along
with the assessments collected should be sufficient to pay for the principal and interest of the new bonds.
At the June 15th, 1999 Council Meeting, the Council authorized the sale of bonds for the Westbrooke Patio
Homes Housing Improvement Area project, the Storm Sewer Revenue capital improvements projects and the
Permanent Improvement Revolving fund capital improvement projects. The bids will be accepted until 11 :00
am on July 20, 1999 at which time they will be reviewed and the recommendation incorporated into Resolution
d 99-063,99-064, and 99-065 respectively.
- --- -- - ------ - ------ ----------- -------------
Primary Issues to Consider
0 At this time, there do not appear to be any primary issues relating to the award of the bond sales. Any
significant issues affecting the sale will not be known until after the closing of the bids on July 20th, 1999.

of the rating agencies and any explanation of the significance of such ratings may only be obtained from Moody's
Investors Service and Standard & Poor's. There is no assurance that such ratings, if and when received, will continue
for any period of time or that the ratings will not be revised or withdrawn. Any revision or withdrawal of the ratings
may have an effect on the market price of the Issues.
0 TAX EXEMPTION
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and decisions, interest on the Series
1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds (collectively the "Tax-Exempt Bonds") is not includible in the "gross
income" of the owners thereof for purposes of federal income taxation and is not includable in taxable net income
of individuals, estates or trusts for purposes of State of Minnesota income taxation, but is subject to State of
Minnesota franchise taxes measured by income that are imposed upon corporations, including financial institutions.
Noncompliance following the issuance of the Tax-Exempt Bonds with certain requirements of the Code and
covenants of the bond resolution may result in the inclusion of interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds in gross income
(for federal tax purposes) and taxable net income (for State of Minnesota tax purposes) of the owners thereof. No
provision has been made for redemption of the Tax-Exempt Bonds, or for an increase in the interest rate on the Tax-
Exempt Bonds, in the event that interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds becomes subject to United States or State of
Minnesota income taxation.
The Code imposes an alternative minimum tax with respect to individuals and corporations on alternative minimum
taxable income. Interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds will not be treated as a preference item in calculating alternative
minimum taxable income. The Code provides, however, that a portion of the adjusted current earnings of a
corporation not otherwise included in the minimum tax base would be included for purposes of calculating the
alternative minimum tax that may be imposed with respect to corporations. Adjusted current earnings include income
received that is otherwise exempt from taxation such as interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds.
The Code provides that in the case of an insurance company subject to the tax imposed by Section 831 of the Code,
0 the amount which otherwise would be taken into account as "losses incurred" under Section 832(b)(5) shall be
reduced by an amount equal to 15% of the interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds that is received or accrued during the
taxable year.

against specially benefitted properties in the amount of$170,573, plus interest at an estimated rate of 8.00% collected

QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS
Immediately prior to the adoption of the Code, financial institutions were generally pennitted to deduct 80% of their
interest expenses allocable to tax-exempt bonds. Under the Code, however, financial institutions are generally not
entitled to such a deduction for tax~exempt bonds purchased after August 7, 1986. However, the City will designate
the Series 1999D Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations pursuant to section 265(b)(3) of the Code, which would

The Series 1999C Bonds are general obligations of the City for which its full faith, credit and taxing powers are
pledged, together with net revenues of the municipal storm sewer utility. The City anticipates that net revenues of
the municipal storm sewer utility will be sufficient to pay 105% of debt service on the Series 1999C Bonds. Should
the revenues pledged for payment of the Bonds be insufficient to pay the principal and interest as the same shall
become due, the City is required to pay maturing principal and interest from moneys on hand in any other fund of
the City not pledged for another purpose and/or to levy a tax for this purpose upon all the taxable property in the City,
without limitation as to rate or amount.
QUALIFIED TAX~EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS
Immediately prior to the adoption of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), financial
institutions were generally permitted to deduct 80% of their interest expenses allocable to tax-exempt bonds. Under
the Code, however, financial institutions are generally not entitled to such a deduction for tax-exempt bonds
purchased after August 7, 1986. However, the City will designate the Series 1999C Bonds as qualified tax-exempt

The City allowed the total fee for each housing unit to be prepaid in full or in part until July 3, 1999. All units not
exercising the ability to prepay will pay fees on an annual basis. The annual fee for each unit represents the payment 0
of the total fee plus interest in equal annual installments over a 20-year period. The rate of interest used to determine
the annual fee will be equal to the average interest rate on the Series 1999B Bonds plus an amount needed to produce
total fee revenue collected from all units in each year that equals 105% of the average annual debt service on the
Series 1999B Bonds. The interest rate on the annual fees will be set based on the results of sale.
NOT QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS
The City will NOT designate the Series 1999B Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations" pursuant to Section 265
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which permits financial institutions to deduct interest expense

Interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds may be included in the income of a foreign corporation for purposes of the branch
profits tax imposed by Section 884 of the Code. Under certain circumstances, interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds may
0, be subject to the tax on "excess net passive income" of Subchapter S corporations imposed by Section 1375 of the
Code.
The above is not a comprehensive list of all Federal tax consequences which may arise from the receipt of interest
on the Tax-Exempt Bonds. The receipt of interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds may otherwise affect the Federal or
State income tax liability of the recipient based on the particular taxes to which the recipient is subject and the
particular tax status of other items or deductions. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such
consequences. All prospective purchasers of the Tax-Exempt Bonds are advised to consult their own tax advisors
as to the tax consequences of, or tax considerations for, purchasing or holding the Tax-Exempt Bonds.
TAXABILITY OF INTEREST ON THE SERIES 1999B BONDS
Interest on the Series 1999D Bonds is includible in the "gross income" of the owners of the Series 1999B Bonds for
purposes of federal and State of Minnesota income
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In order to comply with the provisions of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule") the City has entered into an undertaking (the "Undertaking")
for the benefit of the holders of the Issues. Through the Undertaking, the City covenants and agrees to provide certain
annual financial information and operating data about the City and to provide notice of the occurrence of certain
0 material events. This information shall be provided according to the time parameters described in the Undertaking
and to the information repositories and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board as required by the Rule. The
specific provisions of the Undertaking are set forth in the Continuing Disclosure Certificate in substantially the form
attached hereto as Appendix D. The Continuing Disclosure Certificate will be executed and delivered by the City
at the time the Issues are delivered. The City is the only "obligated person" with respect to the Issues within the
meaning of the Rule. The City has complied in all material respects with any previous undertaking under the Rule.
RISK FACTORS
Following is a description of possible risks to holders of these Issues without weighting as to probability. This
description of risks is not intended to be all-inclusive and there may be other risks not now perceived or listed here.
Taxes: The Issues of this offering are general obligations of the City, the ultimate payment of which rests in the
City's ability to levy and collect sufficient taxes to pay debt service should other revenue (fees imposed upon housing
units in the Area, net revenues of the municipal storm sewer utility, and special assessments) be insufficient.
Ratings; Interest Rates: In the future, the City's credit rating may be reduced or withdrawn, or interest rates for this
type of obligation may rise generally, both possibilities resulting in a reduction in the value of the Issues for resale
prior to maturity.
Tax Exemption: If the federal government or the State of Minnesota taxes the interest on municipal obligations
, directly or indirectly, the value of the Issues may fall for purposes of resale. Noncompliance following the issuance
of these Issues with certain requirements of the Code and covenants of the bond resolution may result in the inclusion
0 of interest on the Issues in gross income of the recipient for United States or in taxable net income of individuals,
estates or trusts for State of Minnesota income tax purposes. No provision has been made for redemption of the
21
- ------..-
Issues, or for an increase in the interest rate on the Issues, in the event that interest on the Issues becomes subject to
United States or State of Minnesota income taxation, retroactive to the date of issuance.
The 1995 Minnesota Legislature has enacted a statement of intent that interest on obligations of Minnesota 0
governmental units and Indian tribes be included in net income of individuals, estates and trusts for Minnesota
income tax purposes if a court determines that Minnesota's exemption of such interest unlawfully discriminates
against interstate commerce because interest on obligations of governmental issuers located in other states is so
included. This provision applies to taxable years that begin during or after the calendar year in which any such court
decision becomes final, irrespective of the date on which the obligations were issued. The City is not aware of any
judicial decision holding that a state's exemption of interest on its own bonds or those of its political subdivisions
or Indian tribes, but not of interest on the bonds of other states or their political subdivisions or Indian tribes,
unlawfully discriminates against interstate commerce or otherwise contravenes the United States Constitution.
Nevertheless, the City cannot predict the likelihood that interest on the Issues would become taxable under this
Minnesota statutory provision.
State Economy; Local Government Aids: State cash flow problems could affect local governments and possibly
increase property taxes.
Continuing Disclosure: A failure by the City to comply with the Undertaking for continuing disclosure (as
described herein) will not constitute an event of default on the Issues. Any such failure must be reported in
accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer, or municipal securities dealer before
recommending the purchase or sale of the Issues in the secondary market. Such a failure may adversely affect the
transferability and liquidity of the Issues and their market price.
Year 2000 Issues: Background. The "Year 2000" issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs that have date-sensitive software may 0
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. If not corrected, many computer applications
could fail or create erroneous results, possibly affecting an organization's operations, financial condition, or ability
to make timely payments on its indebtedness.
Year 2000 Efforts of the City: Assessment in Progress. but Incomplete. The City has not completed its assessment
of Year 2000 issues and thus offers no assurance that the consequences of Year 2000 issues will not materially affect
the City 's operations, financial condition, or ability to make timely payments on its indebtedness.
The City first began to address this issue in 1997. All City Departments are currently involved in Inventory and
Assessment, Repair and Replacement and Contingency Planning. As of March, 1999, the City was confident that
it could deliver all of its basic services on and after January 1,2000. The City is aware, however, that addressing
the Year 2000 problem is a global issue. Events outside the control of the City may impact its ability to provide basic
services. Although the City believes that major problems will not occur, contingency plans will be prepared.
Year 2000 Efforts of DTC: Refer to DTC's Web site at http://www.dtc.org for the latest information regarding its
Year 2000 efforts.
Year 2000 Efforts of Bankers Trust: Refer to Bankers Trust Web site at http://www.bankerstrustiowa.com for the
latest information regarding its Year 2000 efforts.
Book-Entry-Only System: The timely credit of payments for principal and interest on the Issues to the accounts of
the Beneficial Owners of the Issues may be delayed due to the customary practices, standing instructions or for other
unknown reasons by DTC participants or indirect participants. Since the notice of redemption or other notices to
holders of these obligations will be delivered by the City to DTC only, there may be a delay or failure by DTC, DTC 0
participants or indirect participants to notify the Beneficial Owners of the Issues.

MINNESOTA VALUATIONS; PROPERTY TAXES
All non-exempt property is subject to taxation by local taxing districts. The total tax rate is determined by dividing each taxing
district's dollar levy (budget less aids and revenues) by its total tax capacity.
Exempt real property includes Indian lands, public property, and educational, religious and charitable institutions. Most personal
property is exempt from taxation (except investor-owned utility mains, generating plants, etc.).
At least one-fourth of all real properties are appraised yearly by local or county assessors who are directed by statute to appraise
each parcel according to its estimated market value (EMV).
The assessors classify all property subject to the general property tax and apply statutory percentages to the EMV to determine
the tax capacity upon which tax capacity rates are computed. Significant major classifications and the percentages by which tax
capacity is determined are:

s According to the Minnesota Department of Revenue, the Assessor's Taxable Market Value (the "ATMV") for
the City of Hopkins is about 89.5% of the actual selling prices of property most recently sold in the City. That
sales ratio was calculated by comparing the selling prices with the A TMV. Dividing the A TMV of real estate
by .895 and adding personal property and mobile home ATMV, if any, results in a market value of taxable
property for the City of $818,402,445.
6 The $1,531.218 tax increment value shown above represents the captured net tax capacity of a tax increment
financing district(s) in the City of Hopkins. Taxes collected on property in the tax increment district(s) accrue
to the City to pay debt service on outstanding tax increment bonds.
7 Each community in the seven-county metropolitan area contributes 40% of its new industrial and commercial
valuation to an area pool which is then distributed among the municipalities on the basis of population, special 0
needs. etc. Each governmental unit makes a contribution and receives a distribution--sometimes gaining and
sometimes losing net tax capacity for tax purposes. Taxes are spread on the basis of taxable net tax capacity.

required by law to be levied on all taxable property in the City, which taxes are not subject to any limitation
as to rate or amount.
3. Interest on the Bonds is not includable in gross income of the recipient for federal income
tax purposes or in taxable net income for Minnesota income tax purposes, and is not a preference item for
purposes of the computation of the federal alternative minimum tax, or the computation of the Minnesota
alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals, trusts and estates, but such interest is includable in the
computation of "adjusted current earnings," used in the calculation of federal alternative minimum taxable
income of corporations, and is subject to Minnesota franchise taxes on corporations (including financial
institutions) measured by income and the alternative minimum tax base. We express no opinion regarding
other federal or state tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. The Bonds are not arbitrage bonds
and are not private activity bonds.
We have not been asked and have not undertaken to review the accuracy, completeness or
sufficiency of the Official Statement or other offering material relating to the Bonds, and accordingly we
express no opinion with respect thereto.

APPENDIX C
0 BOOK-ENTRY-ONL Y SYSTEM
1. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities
(the "Securities"). The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede
& Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue
of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC.
[If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $200 million, one certificate will be
issued with respect to each $200 million of principal amount and an additional certificate will be issued with
respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]
2. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking
organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System,
a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Unifonn Commercial Code, and a "clearing
agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17 A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC
holds securities that its participants ("Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement
among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through
electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for
physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers,
banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number
of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc.,
and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others
such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial
0 relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules
applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will
receive a credit for the Securities on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchase of each
Security ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records.
Beneficial Owners will not receive written confinnation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners
are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic
statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner
entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by
entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not
receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the
book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.
4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Participants with DTC are registered in the
name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration
in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual
Beneficial Owners of the Securities: DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to
whose accounts such Securities are credited, which mayor may not be the Beneficial Owners. The
Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to
Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be
governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in
0 effect from time to time.
C-l
6. Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being
redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such
issue to be redeemed. 0
7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to Securities. Under its usual procedures,
DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy
assigns Cede & Coo's consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Securities
are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
8. Principal and interest payments on the Securities will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct
Participants' accounts on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records
unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on payable date. Payments by Participants
to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with
securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the
responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Agent, or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or
regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is
the responsibility of the Issuer or the Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be
the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the
responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its
Participant, to the [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the
Direct Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Securities, on DTC's records, to the
[Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with a
demand for purchase or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the
Securities are transferred by Direct Participation on DTC's records. 0
10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Securities at any time
by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a
successor securities depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
11. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor
securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered.
12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from
sources that the Issuer believes to be reliable, but the Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
