hereafter enacted and by the application of general principles of equity including those
relating to equitable subordination.
ADDITIONAL BONDS: For the terms upon which additional bonds of equal standing with
the bonds of this issue as to revenues of the System may be issued reference is made to
the above described Ordinances.
GOOD FAITH: A certified or cashier's check drawn upon an incorporated bank or trust
company or a financial surety bond, in the amount of $191,050 and payable to the order of
the Treasurer of the Issuer, must accompany each bid as a guarantee of good faith on the
part of the bidder, to be forfeited as liquidated damages if such bid be accepted and the
bidder fails to take up and pay for the bonds. If a check is used, it must accompany each
bid. If a Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to
issue such a bond in the State of Michigan and such Bonds must be submitted to the
Issuer's financial advisor prior to the opening of the bids. The financial surety bond must
identify each bidder whose good faith deposit is guaranteed by such financial surety bond.
If the bonds are awarded to a bidder utilized a financial surety bond, then that purchaser
(the "Purchaser") is required to submit its good faith deposit to the Issuer or its financial
advisor in the form of a cashier's check (or wire transfer such amount) as instructed by the
52 Council - June 6, 1994
Issuer or its financial advisor in the form of a cashier's check not later than Noon, Eastern
Daylight Time, on the next business day following the award. If such good faith deposit is
not received by that time, the financial surety bond may be drawn by the Issuer to satisfy
the good faith deposit requirement. The good faith deposit will be applied to the purchase
price of the bonds. In the event the Purchaser fails to honor its accepted bid, the good faith
deposit will be retained by the Issuer. No interest shall be allowed on the good faith checks
and checks of the unsuccessful bidders will be promptly returned. The good faith check of
the successful bidder may be deposited immediately by the Issuer and payment for the
balance of the purchaser price of the bonds shall be made at the closing.
MICHIGAN PROPERTY TAX REFORM: On March 15, 1994, the electors of the State of
Michigan voted to amend the State Constitution to increase the state sales tax from 4% to
6% and to place a yearly cap on property value assessment increases. The state will levy
a property tax to finance education, and a higher real estate transfer tax will be imposed on
the sale of real property. In addition local school districts will continue to levy property
taxes at a reduced level for school operating purposes. The amendment also limits the
growth in assessments for each parcel of property to the rate of inflation or 5%, whichever
is less, until the property is transferred.
AWARD OF BONDS: The bonds will be awarded to the bidder whose bid produces the
lowest interest cost computed by determining, at the rate or rates specified in the bid, the
total dollar value of all interest on the bonds from July 1, 1992, to their maturity and
deducting therefrom any premium or adding thereto any discount.
LEGAL OPINION: Bids shall be conditioned upon the approving opinion of Miller, Canfield,
Paddock and Stone, P.L.C., attorneys of Detroit, Michigan, a copy of which opinion will be
printed on the reverse side of each bond, and the original of which will be furnished without
expense to the purchaser of the bonds at the delivery thereof. The fees of Miller, Canfield,
Paddock and Stone, P.L.C. for services rendered in connection with such approving
opinion are expected to be paid from bond proceeds. Except to the extent necessary to
issue their approving opinion as to validity of the above bonds, Miller, Canfield, Paddock
and Stone, P.L.C. has not been requested to examine or review and has not examined or
reviewed any financial documents, statements or materials that have been or may be
furnished in connection with the authorization, issuance or marketing of the bonds, and
accordingly will not express any opinion with respect to the accuracy or completeness of
any such financial documents, statements or materials.
DELIVERY OF BONDS: The Issuer will furnish bonds ready for execution at its expense.
Bonds will be delivered without expense to the purchaser at Detroit, Michigan or such other
location as may be mutually acceptable to the Issuer and the purchaser. The usual closing
documents, including a certificate that no litigation is pending affecting the issuance of the
bonds, will be delivered at the time of the delivery of the bonds. If the bonds are not

tendered for delivery by twelve o'clock noon, Eastern Daylight Time, on the 45th day
following the date of sale, or the first business day thereafter if said 45th day is not a

the bonds, withdraw his proposal by serving notice of cancellation, in writing, on the
undersigned in which event the Issuer shall promptly return the good faith deposit.
Payment for the bonds shall be made in immediately available funds. Accrued interest to
the date of delivery of the bonds shall be paid by the purchaser at the time of delivery.
Unless the purchaser furnishes the transfer agent with a list giving the denominations and
names in which it wishes to have the certificates issued at least 5 business days prior to
delivery of the bonds, the bonds will be delivered in the form of a single certificate for each
maturity registered in the name of the purchaser.
TAX EXEMPTION: In the opinion of bond counsel, the bonds will be exempt from taxation
in the State of Michigan and from federal income tax subject, in both cases, to certain
exceptions described in bond counsel's opinion.
CUSIP NUMBERS: CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the bonds, but neither
the failure to print the numbers nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for
refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the bonds. All expenses in relation to the
printing of CUSIP numbers shall be paid for by the Issuer except that the CUSIP Service
Bureau charge for the assignment of numbers shall be the responsibility of and paid for by
the purchaser.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING 1994 GENERAL OBLIGATION
UNLIMITED TAX REFUNDING BONDS - HYDROELECTRIC FACILITIES
Whereas, The City of Ann Arbor (the "Issuer") issued its 1983 General Obligation

original principal amount of $3,200,000 (the "Prior Bonds"), under the provisions of Act 279,
Public Acts of Michigan, 1909, as amended, for the purpose of financing the cost of
acquiring and constructing hydroelectric improvements; and
Whereas, $2,650,000 of the Prior Bonds are presently outstanding;
Whereas, Interest rates have declined to a level such that it is advantageous to
issue bonds and refund all or a portion of the Prior Bonds; and
Whereas, It is the determination of the City Council that at this time general
obligation bonds in the principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Ninety Five Thousand
Dollars ($2,595,000) should be issued for the purpose of refunding the Prior Bonds; and
Whereas, Prior to the issuance of the bonds the Issuer must secure the approval of
the Michigan Department of Treasury (the "Department") for the issuance of the bonds and
secure certain waivers from the Department;
RESOLVED, That:
1. Bonds of the Issuer designated 1994 General Obligation Unlimited Tax
Refunding Bonds (Hydroelectric Facilities), (the "Bonds") are authorized to be issued in the
aggregate principal sum of not to exceed Two Million Five Hundred Ninety Five Thousand
Dollars ($2,595,000) or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the City Council
subsequent to receipt of bids for the purpose of paying the cost of refunding the Prior
Bonds, including the cost incidental to the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds. The
current estimated amount of Bonds needed to refund the Prior Bonds is $2,595,000. The
issue shall consist of bonds in fully-registered form of the denomination of $5,000, or
multiples thereof not exceeding for each maturity the maximum principal amount of that
maturity, numbered consecutively in order of registration and dated as of July 1, 1994. The
Bonds shall bear interest, mature, and be payable at the times and in the manner set forth
in Section 7 hereof.
The Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity as set forth in sections 6
and 7 hereof.
62 Council - June 6, 1994
Interest shall be payable to the registered owner of record as of the 15th day of the
month prior to the payment date for each interest payment. The record date of
determination of registered owner for purposes of payment of interest as provided in this
paragraph may be changed by the Issuer to conform to market practice in the future.
Interest shall be payable by check or draft drawn on the Transfer Agent (as hereinafter
defined) mailed to the registered owner at the registered address, as shown on the
registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Transfer Agent. The principal of the
Bonds shall be payable upon presentation and surrender to the Transfer Agent.
The City Finance Director is hereby authorized to select a bank or trust company
located in the State of Michigan to serve as bond registrar, paying agent and transfer agent
(the "Transfer Agent") for this issue. The Issuer reserves the right to replace the Transfer
Agent at any time upon written notice to the registered owners of record of the Bonds not
less than sixty (60) days prior to an interest payment date.
The bonds may be issued in book-entry-only form through The Depository Trust
Company in New York, New York.
At the election of the winning bidder, the bonds maturing after the year 2004 may be
designated as serial bonds or term bonds or both, as further described in Section 7 hereof.
2. The Bonds of this issue shall be executed in the name of the Issuer with the
facsimile signatures of the Mayor and Clerk of the Issuer and shall have the seal of the
Issuer, or a facsimile thereof, printed or impressed on the Bonds. No Bond shall be valid
until authenticated by an authorized officer or representative of the Transfer Agent. The
Bonds shall be delivered to the Transfer Agent for authentication and be delivered by the
Transfer Agent to the purchaser or other person in accordance with instructions from the
Clerk or Treasurer of the Issuer upon payment of the purchase price for the Bonds in
accordance with the bid therefor when accepted.
3. The Transfer Agent shall keep the books of registration for this issue on
behalf of the Issuer. Any Bond may be transferred upon such registration books by the
registered owner of record, in person or by the registered owner's duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of the Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a duly executed
written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Transfer Agent. Whenever any
Bond or Bonds shall be surrendered for transfer, the Issuer shall execute and the Transfer
Agent shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond or Bonds, for like aggregate principal
amount. The Transfer Agent shall require the payment by the bondholder requesting the
transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the
transfer.
Unless waived by any registered owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of
Council - June 6, 1994 63
redemption shall be given by the Transfer Agent on behalf of the Issuer. Such notice shall
be dated and shall contain at a minimum the following information: original issue date;
maturity dates; interest rates; CUSIP numbers, if any; certificate numbers (and in the case
of partial redemption) the called amounts of each certificate; the place where the Bonds
called for redemption are to be surrendered for payment; and that interest on the Bonds or
portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption
date.
In addition, further notice shall be given by the Transfer Agent in such manner as
may be required or suggested by regulations or market practice at the applicable time, but
no defect in such further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further
notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof
is given as prescribed herein.
4. The Treasurer is authorized and directed to open a separate depositary
account with a bank or trust company designated by the Treasurer, to be designated 1994
GENERAL OBLIGATION UNLIMITED TAX REFUNDING BONDS (HYDROELECTRIC
FACILITIES), DEBT RETIREMENT FUND (the "Debt Retirement Fund"), the moneys to be
deposited into the Debt Retirement Fund to be specifically earmarked and used solely for
the purpose of paying principal of and interest on the Bonds as they mature. All proceeds
from taxes levied for the Debt Retirement Fund shall be deposited into the Debt Retirement
Fund as collected. The Bonds shall be payable as a first budget obligation from the
general funds of the Issuer, including ad valorem taxes which may be levied without limit as
to rate or amount. Commencing with the year 1994, there shall be levied upon the tax rolls
of the Issuer for the purpose of the Debt Retirement Fund each year, in the manner
required by the provisions of Act 202, Public Acts of Michigan, 1943, as amended, an
amount sufficient so that the estimated collection therefrom will be sufficient to promptly
pay, when due, the principal of and interest on the Bonds becoming due prior to the next
annual tax levy; provided, however, that if at the time of making any such annual tax levy
there shall be surplus moneys on hand in the Debt Retirement Fund for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Bonds, then credit therefor may be taken against such
annual levy for the Debt Retirement Fund.

transfer agent as of the 15th day prior to an interest payment date. The bonds will be

PURPOSE AND SECURITY: The bonds are being issued for the purpose of paying part of
the costs of refunding the City's 1983 General Obligation Unlimited Tax Bonds
(Hydroelectric Facilities) dated as of December 1, 1983 (the "Prior Bonds") and paying
costs incidental to the issuance of the series of bonds. The Prior Bonds were issued for
the purpose of defraying the cost of acquiring and constructing hydroelectric improvements
for the City. The bonds are payable as a first budget obligation from the general fund of
the City and from taxes imposed on all taxable property in the City. The bonds will be
pledged the full faith and credit of the City. The rights or remedies of bondholders may be
affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or other laws affecting creditors'
rights generally now existing or hereafter enacted and by the application of general
principles of equity including those relating to equitable subordination.
GOOD FAITH: A certified or cashier's check drawn upon incorporated bank or trust
company or a Financial Surety Bond, in the amount of $51,800, and payable to the order of
the Treasurer of the City is required for each bid as a guarantee of good faith on the part of
the bidder, to be forfeited as liquidated damages if such bid be accepted and the bidder
fails to take up and pay for the bonds. If a check is used, it must accompany each bid. If a
Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue
such a bond in the State of Michigan and such Bond must be submitted to the City's
financial advisor prior to the opening of the bids. The Financial Surety Bond must identify
each bidder whose good faith deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the
bonds are awarded to a bidder utilizing a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser (the
"Purchaser") is required to submit its good faith deposit to the City or its financial advisor in
the form of a cashier's check (or wire transfer such amount as instructed by the City or its
financial advisor) not later than Noon, Eastern Time, on the next business day following the
award. If such good faith deposit is not received by that time, the Financial Surety Bond
may be drawn by the City to satisfy the good faith deposit requirement. The good faith
deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the bonds. In the event the Purchaser fails
to honor its accepted bid, the good faith deposit will be retained by the City. No interest
shall be allowed on the good faith check and checks of the unsuccessful bidders will be
returned to each bidder's representative or by mail. The good faith check of the successful
bidder will be cashed and payment for the balance of the purchase price of the bonds shall
be made at the closing.
Council - June 6, 1994 71
AWARD OF BONDS: The bonds will be awarded to the bidder whose bid produces the
lowest interest cost computed by determining, at the rate or rates specified in the bid
(based on the maturities described above without regard to any adjustment in interest rate
or maturity), the total dollar value of all interest on the bonds from _______, 1994 to their
maturity and deducting therefrom any premium.
TAX MATTERS: In the opinion of bond counsel, assuming compliance with certain
covenants, interest on the bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes as described in the opinion, and the bonds and interest thereon are exempt from
all taxation in the State of Michigan except inheritance taxes and taxes on gains realized
from the sale, payment or other disposition thereof. The successful bidder will be required
to furnish, prior to the delivery of the bonds, a certificate in a form acceptable to bond
counsel as to the "issue price" of the bonds within the meaning of Section 1273 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
LEGAL OPINION: Bids shall be conditioned upon the approving opinion of Miller, Canfield,
Paddock and Stone, P.L.C., attorneys of Detroit, Michigan, a copy of which opinion will be
printed on the reverse side of each bond and the original of which will be furnished without
expense to the purchaser of the bonds at the delivery thereof. The fees of Miller, Canfield,
Paddock and Stone, P.L.C. for services rendered in connection with such approving
opinion are expected to be paid from bond proceeds. Except to the extent necessary to
issue its unqualified approving opinion as to validity of the above bonds, Miller, Canfield,
Paddock and Stone, P.L.C. has not been requested to examine or review and has not
examined or reviewed any financial documents, statements or materials that have been or
may be furnished in connection with the authorization, issuance or marketing of the bonds,
and accordingly will not express any opinion with respect to the accuracy or completeness
of any such financial documents, statements or materials.
DELIVERY OF BONDS: The City will furnish bonds ready for execution at its expense.
Bonds will be delivered without expense to the purchaser at Detroit, Michigan, or such
other place to be agreed upon. The usual closing documents, including a certificate that no
litigation is pending affecting the issuance of the bonds, will be delivered at the time of
delivery of the bonds. If the bonds are not tendered for delivery by twelve o'clock noon,
Eastern Daylight Time, on the 45th day following the date of sale, or the first business day
thereafter if said 45th day is not a business day, the successful bidder may on that day, or
any time thereafter until delivery of the bonds, withdraw his proposal by serving notice of
cancellation, in writing, on the undersigned in which event the City shall promptly return the
good faith deposit. Payment for the bonds shall be made in Federal Reserve Funds.
Accrued interest to the date of delivery of the bonds shall be paid by the purchaser at the
time of delivery. Unless the purchaser furnishes the transfer agent with a list giving the
denominations and names in which it wishes to have the certificates issued at least
5 business days prior to the delivery of the bonds, the bonds will be delivered in the form of
72 Council - June 6, 1994
a single certificate for each maturity registered in the name of the purchaser.
CUSIP NUMBERS: It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on
the bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any bonds nor any error with
respect thereto shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the purchaser thereof to
accept delivery of and pay for the bonds in accordance with terms of the purchase
contract. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP numbers on the bonds shall be
paid for by the City; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the
assignment of such numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the
purchaser.
MICHIGAN PROPERTY TAX REFORM: On March 15, 1994, the electors of the State of
Michigan voted to amend the State Constitution to increase the state sales tax from 4% to
6% and to place a yearly cap on property value assessment increases. The state will levy
a property tax to finance education, and a higher real estate transfer tax will be imposed on
the sale of real property. In addition local school districts will continue to levy property
taxes at a reduced level for school operating purposes. The amendment also limits the
growth in assessments for each parcel of property to the rate of inflation or 5%, whichever
is less, until the property is transferred.

Stauder, Barch & Associates, Inc., Financial Consultant to the City, 3989 Research Park

date of delivery the information contained in the Official Statement, including revisions,
amendments and completions as necessary, relating to the City and the bonds is true and
correct in all material respects, and that such Official Statement does not contain any
