Ordinance appropriating funds for safety footwear
SUMMARY:
Ordinance appropriating funds for required safety footwear, funded from revenues received from
sale of surplus equipment and materials.
The City's Safety Committee has established the requirement for certain positions to wear safety
footwear while performing their jobs in an effort to reduce employee injuries. Since the footwear is

from selling surplus equipment and materials. Going forward, the Safety Committee would like this
to be funded annually during the budget process.

information and material event notices to be provided and its obligations relating thereto. Failure of the

Bonds to take such actions and to initiate such proceedings as shall be necessary and appropriate to cause
the City to comply with its undertaking as set forth herein and in said agreement, including the remedies of
mandamus and specific performance.

Series 2025 Bonds are Outstanding, beginning in the month following delivery of the Series 2025 Bonds.
4
Page 37 of 50
For the period commencing with the month following the delivery of the Series 2025 Bonds, to and
including the month of the first interest payment date for the Series 2025 Bonds, each monthly deposit to
the Series 2025 Sub-Account of the Interest Account shall be an amount that, together with all other monthly
deposits of approximately equal amounts during such period and amounts otherwise in said sub-account,
will be equal to interest due on the Series 2025 Bonds on the first interest payment date. Thereafter, each
monthly deposit to the Series 2025 Sub-Account of the Interest Account shall be equal to not less than one-
sixth (1/6th) of the interest coming due on the Series 2025 Bonds on the next interest payment date, net of
any interest earnings on such amounts.
For the period commencing with the month following the delivery of the Series 2025 Bonds to and
including the month preceding the first principal payment for the Series 2025 Bonds, each monthly deposit
to the Series 2025 Sub-Account of the Principal Account shall be an amount that, together with all other
monthly deposits during such period and amounts otherwise in said sub-account, will be equal to the
principal due on the Series 2025 Bonds on the first principal payment date (provided that, in the event that
the first principal payment date is more than 13 months following the month next following delivery of the
Series 2025 Bonds, monthly deposits to the Series 2025 Sub-Account of the Principal Account shall begin
in the month which is 13 months prior to the month of the first principal payment date). Thereafter, each
monthly deposit to the Series 2025 Sub-Account of the Principal Account shall be an amount equal to not
less than one-twelfth (1/12th) of the principal amount coming due on the Series 2025 Bonds, whether by
maturity or mandatory redemption, on the next principal payment date, net of any interest earnings on such
amounts.
No further deposit shall be required to be made to the Series 2025 Sub-Account of the Principal
Account or Interest Account when the balances therein are equal to or greater than the amount needed to
pay principal and interest (as applicable) on the next interest payment date.
Section 2.08 Federal Tax Matters. The Series 2025 Bonds will be issued as federally tax-
exempt bonds. The City hereby covenants that it will not use, or permit the use of, any proceeds of the
Series 2025 Bonds in a manner that would cause the Series 2025 Bonds to be subjected to treatment under
Section 148 of the Code, and applicable regulations thereunder, as an “arbitrage bond”. To that end, the
City shall comply with applicable regulations adopted under said Section 148. The City further covenants
with the registered owners from time to time of the Series 2025 Bonds that it will, throughout the term of
the Series 2025 Bonds and through the date that the final rebate, if any, must be made to the United States
in accordance with Section 148 of the Code, comply with the provisions of Sections 103 and 141 through
150 of the Code and all regulations proposed and promulgated thereunder that must be satisfied in order
that interest on the Series 2025 Bonds shall be and continue to be excluded from gross income for federal
income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code.
It is reasonably expected that the City will reimburse itself for certain expenditures made by it in
connection with the Project by issuing the Series 2025 Bonds. This resolution shall be placed in the minutes
of the Governing Body and shall be made available for inspection by the general public at the office of the
Governing Body. This resolution constitutes a declaration of official intent under Treas. Reg. §1.150-2.
The appropriate officers of the City are authorized and directed, on behalf of the City, to execute
and deliver all such certificates and documents that may be required of the City in order to comply with the
provisions of this Section related to the issuance of the Series 2025 Bonds.

maturity in the amounts, at the times and in the manner provided in this Article III and the Series 2025
Bonds.
Section 3.02 Optional Redemption. Subject to the adjustments permitted in Section 2.01(d)
hereof, the Series 2025 Bonds maturing on or before January 1, 2035 shall mature without option of prior
redemption. The Series 2025 Bonds maturing on January 1, 2036 and thereafter shall be subject to
redemption, in whole or in part, prior to maturity at the option of the City on or after January 1, 2035 at any
time at the price of par plus accrued interest to the redemption date. The City shall have the right to
designate which maturities, or portions thereof, shall be redeemed in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence.
The City shall give the Trustee at least 40 days’ notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section.
Section 3.03 Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. The Series 2025 Bonds may be subject to
mandatory redemption in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest from the sinking fund installments specified in the years and amounts as specified by an Authorized
Representative in the Bond Purchase Agreement. At its option, to be exercised on or before the forty-fifth
(45th) day next preceding any such redemption date, the City may (i) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation
Series 2025 Bonds to be redeemed, in any aggregate principal amount desired, and/or (ii) receive a credit
in respect of its redemption obligation under this mandatory redemption provision for any Series 2025
Bonds of the maturity to be redeemed which prior to said date have been purchased or redeemed (otherwise
than through the operation of this mandatory sinking fund redemption provision) and canceled by the
Trustee and not theretofore applied as a credit against any redemption obligation under this mandatory
sinking fund provision. Each Series 2025 Bond so delivered or previously purchased or redeemed shall be
credited by the Trustee at 100% of the principal amount thereof on the obligation of the City on such
payment date and any excess shall be credited on future redemption obligations in chronological order, and
the principal amount of Series 2025 Bonds to be redeemed by operation of this mandatory sinking fund
provision shall be accordingly reduced. The City shall on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day next preceding
each payment date furnish the Trustee with its certificate indicating whether or not and to what extent the
provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection are to be availed of with respect to such payment and
confirm that funds for the balance of the next succeeding prescribed payment will be paid on or before the
next succeeding payment date.
Section 3.04 Payment of Series 2025 Bonds Upon Redemption. Upon redemption of all or any
portion of any Series 2025 Bond, subject to Section 2.10 of the Master Resolution, payment of the
applicable Redemption Price shall be made only upon surrender of such Series 2025 Bond. If, on the
Redemption Date, sufficient moneys shall have been deposited with the Trustee to effect such redemption
in accordance with this Supplemental Resolution, then interest shall cease to accrue on all Series 2025
Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption.

regulated by and the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar
federal agency, in a separate account within the Project Fund, to be known and designated as the “Series
2025 Account” to be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the City. Moneys in the Series 2025

prior to said date have been purchased or redeemed (otherwise than through the operation of this mandatory
sinking fund redemption provision) and canceled by the Trustee and not theretofore applied as a credit
against any redemption obligation under this mandatory sinking fund provision. Each Series 2025 Bond so
delivered or previously purchased or redeemed shall be credited by the Trustee at 100% of the principal
amount thereof on the obligation of the City on such payment date and any excess shall be credited on
future redemption obligations in chronological order, and the principal amount of Series 2025 Bonds to be
redeemed by operation of this mandatory sinking fund provision shall be accordingly reduced. The City
shall on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day next preceding each payment date furnish the Trustee with its
certificate indicating whether or not and to what extent the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph
are to be availed of with respect to such payment and confirm that funds for the balance of the next
succeeding prescribed payment will be paid on or before the next succeeding payment date.]
