City Clerk ---PAGE BREAK--- RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION RELATING TO POOLED SPECIAL SIDEWALK, CURB, GUTTER AND ALLEY APPROACH BONDS, SERIES 2009A; AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND CALLING FOR THE PUBLIC SALE THEREOF AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGE OF THE REVOLVING FUND OF THE CITY OF MISSOULA TO THE SECURITY THEREFOR BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the “City Council”) of the City of Missoula, Montana (the “City”), as follows: Section 1. Recitals. The City is authorized pursuant to Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-14-4109, as amended, to order the construction or reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs or gutters in front of any lot or parcel of land and may order alley approaches constructed or replaced adjacent to any lot or parcel of land within the City. By initial orders (the “Orders”), the City Council ordered certain sidewalks, curbs, gutters and alley approach projects, as further discussed below in Section 2 (the “Projects”). The Orders were duly entered in the minutes of the City Council and set forth the names of the streets along which sidewalks, curbs or gutters are to be constructed or along which the alley approaches are to be constructed or replaced. As provided in the Orders and in accordance with Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-14- 4109, as amended, written notice of the Orders was given to the owners or agents of owners of lots or parcels of land against which the costs of the proposed construction or reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs, gutters, or alley approaches (collectively, the “Improvements”) were to be assessed and of their option to cause the Improvements benefiting their property to be constructed. Subsequent to the expiration of the thirty (30) day-notice period in the Orders, the City determined which of the proposed Improvements have been or will be constructed by the owners of the adjacent property and which of the proposed Improvements will be constructed or financed by the City. The Improvements are located within the Projects as identified in Section 2 below. The total estimated costs of the Improvements to be constructed or which have been constructed by the City are $645,000, which costs include such incidental costs, a deposit to the City’s Special Improvement District Revolving Fund (the “Revolving Fund”), and costs of issuance for the Bonds (as defined below). The City is authorized to pay the costs of the Improvements by the issuance of special sidewalk, curb, gutter and alley approach warrants or bonds drawn against a fund to be known as the Special Sidewalk, Curb, Gutter and Alley Approach Fund and to secure such bonds by the Revolving Fund created pursuant to Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-12-4221. The total costs of the Improvements are to be paid from the proceeds of Pooled Special Sidewalk, Curb, Gutter and Alley Approach Bonds, Series 2009A (the “Bonds”), to be issued by the City, and which Bonds are to be payable primarily from special assessments to be levied against property which will be specially benefited by the Improvements, on the basis described in each of the Orders in an amount not less than $645,000. It is necessary that the Bonds be issued and sold in an original aggregate principal amount estimated not to exceed $645,000 to finance a portion of the costs of the Improvements, (ii) a deposit to the Revolving Fund of the City, and (iii) costs of issuance for the Bonds, including underwriter’s discount. The costs of the Improvements, including incidental costs, are currently estimated as follows: ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 Construction of Improvements, including Capitalized Interest $564,687.51 Revolving Fund Deposit 32,250.00 Costs of Issuance, including Rounding Amount 39,032.49 Underwriter’s Discount 9,030.00 Total $645,000.00 The City is authorized by Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-12-4193, as amended, to issue and sell special sidewalk, curb, gutter and alley approach bonds, such as the Bonds, for more than one project in a single offering on a pooled basis upon a determination that such pooling is in the best interests of the City and the property owners whose property will be assessed for the Improvements. Section 2. Allocation of Proceeds to Various Projects. Bonds will be allocated to the following Projects in the respective principal amounts set forth below, with incidental costs allocated pro- rata thereto. EXHIBIT A to this Resolution (which is hereby incorporated herein and made a part thereof), contains a list of all the properties located in the Projects to be assessed for the costs of the Improvements. The assessments to be levied for the Projects shall not be less than $645,000. Project No. Project Name Principal Amount 05-054 Oxford-Central-North $123,935.21 07-071 Slant Streets (Ford to Higgins) 102,638.12 08-001 Miscellaneous Parcels 418,426.67 Total $645,000.00 Section 3. Determination of Public Interest in Allowing Bond Discount. The minimum price for the Bonds is $635,970 (98.6% of par), plus interest accrued thereon to the date of delivery. Such minimum bid will enable bidders to bid more efficiently for the Bonds by permitting them to submit their bids based on actual market conditions without adjusting the interest rates thereon to provide compensation for their purchase of the Bonds. This procedure will facilitate the sale of the Bonds at the lowest interest rates, which is in the best interests of the City and the property owners whose property will be assessed for the Improvements. Section 4. Method of Financing; Pledge of Revolving Fund; Findings and Determinations. The City will issue the Bonds in an original aggregate principal amount estimated not to exceed $645,000 in order to finance the costs of the Projects and the incidental costs mentioned in Section 2 above. Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid from special assessments levied against the property located in the Projects. This City Council further finds it is in the public interest, and in the best interest of the City and the Projects, to secure payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds by the Revolving Fund, and therefore authorizes the City to enter into the undertakings and agreements authorized in Montana Code Annotated, Section 7-12-4225, as amended, with respect to pledging the Revolving Fund as security for the Bonds. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 In determining to authorize such undertakings and agreements, this City Council has taken into consideration the following factors: Estimated Market Value of Parcels. The special assessments to be levied against each lot, tract or parcel for the Improvements, as a general matter, are insignificant in comparison to the market value of such lot, tract or parcel located in the Projects. Diversity of Property Ownership. Substantially all the lots, tracts or parcels located in the Projects are under separate ownership. Given the diversity of ownership, it is unlikely that financial difficulties would arise that would require the City to extend a loan from the Revolving Fund. Comparison of Special Assessments, Property Taxes and Market Value. The estimated total principal amount of the assessments for the Improvements range from $1,062.00 to $64,340.20 on a per property basis. Given the amount of the proposed assessments for the Improvements, the amount of other special assessments and property taxes levied against the various parcels in the area of the Projects, the respective market value of said parcels, and the relation between the respective proposed assessments and the respective market value of each parcel located in the Projects, if the City had to enforce assessment liens against the properties for the Improvements, there would be more than sufficient value in the properties to secure the obligations to the City. Delinquencies. The tax delinquency rates for properties located in the Projects are no greater than the delinquency rates of the City at large, and therefore, no unusual need for loans from the Revolving Fund are expected. The Public Benefit of the Improvements. Based on current City subdivision and site development ordinances, and under City Council policies, the costs of installation of new curb, gutter, sidewalk, and alley approaches are to be borne by adjoining property owners. The availability of safe curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and alleys has general benefit to the community at large as well as special benefit to the property owners to be assessed, and therefore, the use of the Revolving Fund to secure the Bonds is in the public interest. Section 5. Public Hearing Regarding Revolving Fund Pledge. The City Clerk is authorized and directed to publish notice of a public hearing concerning the pledge of the Revolving Fund to the payment of the Bonds in substantially the form of the attached EXHIBIT B (which is hereby incorporated herein and made a part thereof), which public hearing will be held Monday, July 13, 2009, at or after 7:00 p.m., M.T, in the City Council Chambers at Missoula City Hall located at 140 West Pine Street, Missoula, Montana, at which all interested parties will be allowed to testify. The City Council will also consider all written comments submitted to the City Clerk prior to the public hearing or submitted to the City Council during the public hearing. Section 6. Terms of the Bonds. This City Council hereby authorizes the issuance and sale of the Bonds, to be denominated “Pooled Special Sidewalk, Curb, Gutter and Alley Approach Bonds, Series 2009A,” of the City in the estimated original aggregate principal amount of $645,000, for the purposes of financing the Improvements, (ii) funding a deposit to the Revolving Fund, and (iii) paying the costs of issuance for the Bonds. The Bonds shall be dated, as originally issued, as of August 1, 2009, and shall bear interest payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing July 1, 2010, at a rate or rates designated by the successful bidder at public sale and approved by this City ---PAGE BREAK--- 4 Council. The Bonds shall mature on July 1 in each of the following years and amounts (unless combined into one or more term bonds): Year Principal Amount Year Principal Amount 2010 $60,000 2020 $25,000 2011 60,000 2021 25,000 2012 55,000 2022 15,000 2013 50,000 2023 15,000 2014 50,000 2024 15,000 2015 50,000 2025 15,000 2016 50,000 2026 15,000 2017 50,000 2027 15,000 2018 25,000 2028 15,000 2019 25,000 2029 15,000 Bidders will have the option of combining the Bonds into one or more term bonds. If any Bonds are issued as term bonds, such term bonds will be subject to annual mandatory sinking fund redemption on each July 1, concluding no later than 2029, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of such Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed with interest accrued thereon and payable on January 1 and July 1 to the mandatory redemption date, in installments and in the same amounts and same dates as the Bonds would have matured if they were not included in a term bond. The Bonds, whether issued as serial or term bonds, shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof of single maturities. The Bonds shall be issuable only as fully registered bonds and shall be executed by the manual or facsimile signatures of the Mayor, the City Finance Director/Treasurer and the City Clerk. The Bonds shall be secured by the Revolving Fund and shall be issued in “book-entry” only form. Section 7. Public Sale. The Bonds shall be sold at a public competitive sale which is hereby called for on July 13, 2009, at 11:00 a.m., M.T., in accordance with the terms and conditions attached hereto as EXHIBIT C (which is hereby incorporated herein and made a part thereof) and, if a responsive and acceptable bid is received, award of the sale is to be made at a regular meeting of this City Council on July 13, 2009, at or after 7:00 p.m., M.T. The City will receive sealed or electronic bids for the Bonds in accordance with the notice of sale hereinafter prescribed. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to cause notice of the sale to be published, as required by Montana Code Annotated, Sections 7- 12-4204, 7-7-4252 and 17-5-106, in the Missoulian, once each week for two consecutive weeks preceding the week which contains the date of sale. The notice of sale shall be published and mailed in substantially the form set forth as EXHIBIT C to this Resolution and this City Council hereby adopts the terms and conditions set forth in such notice of sale as the terms and conditions of the sale of the Bonds. Section 8. Official Statement. The City Finance Director/Treasurer and other officers of the City, in cooperation with Springsted Incorporated, Saint Paul, Minnesota, financial consultants to the City, are hereby authorized and directed to prepare on behalf of the City an official statement, and an addendum to such official statement (collectively, the “Official Statement”), to be distributed to potential purchasers of the Bonds. The Official Statement will contain the terms and conditions of sale of the Bonds set forth in the notice of sale adopted in Section 7 hereof and such other information as shall be advisable and necessary to describe accurately the City and the security for, and terms and conditions of, the Bonds. The Official Statement shall be deemed final by the City within the meaning of the Rule (as defined below). ---PAGE BREAK--- 5 Section 9. Continuing Disclosure. Because the Bonds are being issued in an original aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000, the Bonds are exempt from the provisions of paragraph of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”). However, the City will covenant and agree, for the benefit of the registered holders and beneficial owners from time to time of the outstanding Bonds, in a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking, to comply with the provisions of the full Rule and provide annual reports of specified information and notice of the occurrence of certain events, if material. The City is the only “obligated person” with respect of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for the purposes of disclosing information on an ongoing basis. The form of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking is set forth in the Official Statement. Failure of the City to enter into an undertaking substantially similar to that described in the Official Statement would relieve the successful bidder of its obligation to purchase the Bonds. Passed by the City Council of the City of Missoula, Montana, this 22nd day of June, 2009.

POOLED SPECIAL SIDEWALK, CURB, GUTTER AND ALLEY APPROACH BONDS, SERIES 2009A CITY OF MISSOULA, MONTANA NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on June 22, 2009, the City Council of the City of Missoula, Montana (the “City”), adopted a Resolution Relating to Pooled Special Sidewalk, Curb, Gutter and Alley Approach Bonds, Series 2009A; Authorizing the Issuance and Calling for the Public Sale Thereof and Making Certain Findings with Respect to the Pledge of the Revolving Fund of the City of Missoula to the Security Therefor (the “Resolution”). The City will issue Pooled Special Sidewalk, Curb, Gutter and Alley Approach Bonds, Series 2009A (the “Bonds”), in an original aggregate principal amount estimated not to exceed $645,000, in order to finance the costs of certain sidewalk, curb, gutter, and alley improvements throughout the City (the “Improvements”), (ii) fund a deposit to the Special Improvement District Revolving Fund of the City (the “Revolving Fund”), and (iii) pay certain costs associated with the issuance of the Bonds. Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid from special assessments levied against the property located in the Projects identified in the Resolution.

The City Council will consider sealed bids or bids transmitted electronically through the ParityTM system. The City reserves the rights to reject any and all bids, to waive informalities in any bid and to adjourn the sale.

Official Statement The City will prepare an Official Statement relating to the Bonds which the City will deem, for purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12, to be final as of its date. The City will deliver, at closing, a certificate executed by the Mayor, the City Clerk and the City Finance Director/Treasurer to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge, as of the date of closing, the information contained in the Official Statement, including any supplement or addendum thereto, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading; provided that no comment will be made with respect to any information provided by the successful bidder for inclusion in any supplement to the Official Statement. By submitting a bid for the Bonds, the successful bidder agrees: to disseminate to all members of the underwriting syndicate copies of the Official Statement, including any supplements prepared by the City, to file a copy of the Official Statement, including any supplement prepared by the City, with a nationally recognized municipal securities repository, and to take any and all other actions necessary to comply with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board governing the offering, sale and delivery of the Bonds to ultimate purchasers. Within seven business days after the sale of the Bonds the City will furnish to the successful bidder, without charge, twenty-five (25) copies of the final Official Statement relating to the Bonds. The successful bidder must notify the City Finance Director/Treasurer in writing within five business days after the award of sale of the Bonds if it requires additional copies of the Official Statement. The cost of additional copies of the Official Statement shall be paid by the successful bidder. Continuing Disclosure Because the Bonds are being issued in an original aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000, the Bonds are exempt from the provisions of paragraph of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”). However, the City will covenant and agree, for the benefit of the registered holders and beneficial owners from time to time of the outstanding Bonds, in a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking, to comply with the provisions of the full Rule and provide annual reports of specified information and notice of the occurrence of certain events, if material. The City is the only “obligated person” in respect of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for the purposes of disclosing information on an ongoing basis. The form of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking is set forth in the Official Statement. Failure of the City to enter into an undertaking substantially similar to that described in the Official Statement would relieve the successful bidder of its obligation to purchase the Bonds. Information for bidders and bidding forms may be obtained from Marty Rehbein, City Clerk, 435 Ryman Street, Missoula, Montana 59801, telephone (406) 552-6078, or from Springsted Incorporated, St. Paul, Minnesota, telephone (651) 223-3000, financial consultants to the City. ---PAGE BREAK--- C-8 Dated: June 2009 BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MISSOULA, MONTANA Martha L.
