SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS:
This Agenda Item provides for the purchase and installation of a new system that will
allow for self-service dispensing and purchase of aviation gasoline at the Rantoul
National Aviation Center. The proposal includes all hardware required to bring the two
current bulk storage tanks (100LL AvGas and JetA fuel) up to the current safety code.
The current system, which is 30 years old, does not allow for pilots to refuel their
airplanes independently of the Airport Manager. This greatly restricts sales of fuel, and
is very much out of step with current general aviation trends. Nearly every airport in our
region offers self-service fuel. We expect that fuel sales will increase dramatically,
providing revenue to justify the investment in the system. Further, increasing airplane
traffic at the airport will increase local revenue at restaurants and hotels, as pilots will
Page 33 of 212
more frequently choose to make the Village of Rantoul a destination.
Furthermore, this system will allow one of the two aviation fuel trucks currently in use to
be removed from service, resulting in a reduction in maintenance costs. Both trucks are
over 30 years old and nearing end of life.
The Self-Service Aviation Fuel Dispensing System vendor has been highly
recommended and endorsed by the Village’s airport consultant, Mr. Jeff Olson of
Hanson Professional Services. The vendor has significant prior experience with aviation
fuel systems. The Airport Manager has been working with the vendor since September
2025, to ensure that a system that meets the needs of the airport for the foreseeable
future, but also at a reasonable cost is specified.
A Contingency Fund of 9% ($18,535.13) is requested for unforeseen requirements
particular to the legacy system at the Airport.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the purchase of a new Self-Service Aviation
Fuel Dispensing System in the amount of $198,345.95 with a contingency fund of
$20,000.00 for any unforeseen requirements.

Aviation Fuel (100LL) System Upgrade to Include Self Service Option
February 23, 2026
Robert Coverdill
Airport Manager
The Rantoul National Aviation Center (RNAC) seeks to upgrade the currently installed aviation fuel system to
include Self Service for 100LL AvGas, which will allow pilots to fuel their airplanes independently from ground support
crew. 100LL is the type of fuel used in most general aviation airplanes. The current situation is that 100LL AvGas is
dispensed from a 1200-gallon tanker truck directly to the customer’s airplane. This requires a Village employee (typically
the airport manager or someone in Public Works as backup) to be on site to handle the transaction. It includes driving the
truck to the location of the airplane, making proper connections, dispensing fuel, and making the credit card charges via
the POS system in the airport office.
While the current system is adequate, most general aviation pilots tend to be active on weekends and evenings
when RNAC is not staffed. The RNAC is missing out on a huge opportunity to increase revenue (and profits) because there
is no staff person on site during non-business hours to dispense/sell fuel. Most general aviation airports have long ago
converted to Self-Serve fuel. Not only does it increase sales dramatically, but it also reduces cost because a fuel truck no
longer is required (obviating maintenance and insurance costs), and refueling is safer as it is done in a controlled
environment at the designated fuel station. And since no airport staff are required, wages do not have to be paid to sell
AvGas.
At RNAC Av Fuel sales (both 100LL and JetA) have been steady or increasing when data are analyzed from 2020-
2025. The chart below shows that the trends are very solid (tabular data are shown at end). In the 6-year window
analyzed, over 50,000 gallons of 100L and 75,000 gallons of JetA were sold. In 2025 alone, nearly 10,000 gallons of 100LL
were sold. This translates to nearly $725,000 in gross revenue and a profit of around $250,000 based up current markup.
100LL sales are projected to increase in the next few years based upon the increased level of general aviation
activity, an increase in the number of airplanes based at RNAC, and the expected increase of business traffic. The addition
of Ag Air Imaging LLC headquarters, a flight instruction program (Arends Aviation), and the full occupancy of the T-hangars
with actively flying planes is driving fuel sales. In the past, 40% of the hangars were either used only to store items, or

Page 35 of 212
were vacant. Active airplanes buy gas.
The likelihood of new business development adjacent to the airport in 2026 and beyond (further increasing
demand for JetA) is very good. An increase of JetA sales in 2026 and future years of up to 100% is not unreasonable, even
without a Self Serve option. (To reduce installation cost, JetA fuel will remain full-service, truck based.)
The availability of 100LL Self-Serve fuel will dramatically increase the sales volume. Based upon activity by pilots
at other nearby airports that offer Self-Serve fuel, it is safe to project a 200-300% increase within 1-2 years. Once RNAC is
established as a reliable airport at which self-serve gas is available, along with an airport courtesy car to allow local trips
to restaurants or sporting events, the volume of transient general aviation traffic will grow.
Another factor that enters into this is the plan to increase the number of airplanes based at RNAC. Over the next
2-4 years, 20 additional T-hangars are anticipated, in addition to 4 large general aviation hangars by a private developer.
There is also much interest in building 5 corporate size hangars (60’ x 60’) which can house business jets, turboprops, or
multiple GA airplanes. An aviation maintenance shop is also being recruited, which will further increase traffic and fuel
sales.
The proposal for the installation of self-serve fuel system is $219,935. This is for the equipment required to bring
the existing bulk storage tanks for 100LL and JetA into compliance (new electrical and safety components), dispensing
equipment, credit card sales equipment, and infrastructure work at the site. The $200,000 loan necessary for installation
will be serviced by expected increased fuel sales revenue/profit. It is also vital for the continued growth of the RNAC to
preserve access to future FAA/IDOT funding, which will be based upon actual traffic count at the airport.

Communication options

Wi-Fi
Ubiquity Nanostation

Page 56 of 212
Communications—Direct Ethernet
The M4000 comes standard to accommodate a wired Ethernet connection. A wired
Ethernet connection is a very good option if certain conditions can be met as this provides
a stable and consistent connection to the customers’ network. This also avoids the
increased cost of optional communication kits. However, there are several factors that may
determine whether or not this is the best option.
1. A wired Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable has distance limitations of around 300 feet. Beyond that
range, the signal begins to degrade and become less reliable. Some IT staff may be able
to install boosters to push the signal further, but QTpod can not guarantee the reliability
of this.
2. There may be financial or logistical restraints to pulling and Ethernet line to the fuel
island. In some instances, it may be the case that an existing phone line for an M3000 or
competitor unit already in place terminates in the same location as the network panel.
In such instances, the customer may be able to attach Cat 5 to the phone line and as
they pull the phone line out, they pull the Cat 5 into its place. However, if the Cat 5
needs to terminate elsewhere it may be cost prohibitive or technically difficult to get
the Ethernet cable to the M4000.
M4000 Sales Guide 9
Page 57 of 212
Communications—Wi-Fi
• QTpod offers an optional Wi-Fi kit for $500 MSRP that will allow the M4000
to access the web via the customer wireless network. This is a good option
for those customers who can’t get an Ethernet cable out to the system and
do not want the additional cost of a cell plan. There are some factors to
take into consideration if this route is chosen.
1. You will want to confirm that the customer can get a strong, consistent
Wi-Fi signal at the fuel island. This can be affected by several factors such
as:
• Distance of the fuel island from the wireless router
• Any obstacles between the router and the fuel island
• Quality and reliability of the customer’s wireless router
• Quality and reliability of their internet service provider (ISP)
2. The customer’s IT personnel may be able to utilize a commercially
available outdoor wireless range extended to boost the Wi-Fi signal to
the fuel farm area.
M4000 Sales Guide 10
Page 58 of 212
Communications—Ubiquiti Nanostation
• Another option for installations which exceed
the distance limitations of Cat 5 or Wi-Fi-
communications is a Ubiquity Nanostation. This
is a point-to-point wireless antenna system that
can transmit an Ethernet signal up to 9 miles.
• QTpod does not sell this system, but many
customers have used this with good results. The
model most customers are using is the Ubiquiti
Nanostation LocoM2-US Pre-Configured
Indoor/Outdoor airMax CPE 2.4 GHz 2 pack. This
can be purchased on Amazon for $150-$250.
M4000 Sales Guide 11
Page 59 of 212
Communications—Cellular (Verizon)
• Cellular communications is the preferred method for use on the M4000. This is due to the ease of
installation and the speed and high reliability of cellular networks. M4000s shipped with our
optional cellular kit will come preconfigured with the wireless account provided by QTpod. The
advantage of this is that there is literally no work for the installer to set-up a communications link
for the M4000. Once the system is powered up, it automatically communicates with the nearest
cell tower. This also provides a high degree of reliability as it does not interface with the
customer’s network. Therefore, if anyone makes changes to internet service providers or to their
firewall, it will have absolutely no effect on the M4000.
• QTpod’s cellular kit is $1000 MSRP. This also requires a Verizon unlimited data plan provided by
QTpod for $480/year. This cellular plan is added to the customer’s yearly service subscription.
• Prior to choosing this option, it is advised that someone with a Verizon cellular plan check the
signal strength at the fuel farm location.

ITEM: Contract for Partial Roof DEPARTMENT: Community Planning &
Replacement at 735 Pacesetter Drive Development
(Hangar 1) with Sentry Roofing, Inc. in the
amount of $302,416.00
DATE: April 7, 2026 AMOUNT: $151,208.00 - Airport Fund

$151,208.00 - EDC Fund (585)
$302,416.00 - Total
ATTACHMENTS: ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES:
1. 735 Pacesetter Drive (Hangar 1)
Proposal
SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS:
This item provides for the partial replacement of the roof on the Village-owned building
at 735 Pacesetter Drive (Hangar 1). The project will consist of removal of existing
roofing, and application of a new PVC membrane roof to approximately 36,000 square
feet of the low-bay area of the building. This work is being completed by the Village, as
the owner of the building. The building is currently being leased to Flyover Film Studios.
Staff prepared and released a Request for Proposals in January, and the proposals
were received and opened on February 24. Staff went the RFP route to ensure
maximum flexibility for contractors to recommend different materials and applications,
and to divide the entire roof up into multiple sub areas. A total of seven proposals were
received. Through subsequent discussions, staff determined that the portion of the roof
labeled as the Alternate 1 area in the RFP was most in need of replacement. Sentry
Roofing, Inc, provided the lowest quote for the desired PVC membrane roof for that
Alternate 1 area in the amount of $302,416.00. Staff then determined that this quote
and the proposer met all requirements, and thus this quote is being recommended for
acceptance.
This project would be funded 50% from the Airport fund and 50% from the EDC fund. It
is anticipated that the work would start in the next two months and be completed by the
end of August.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the acceptance of the proposal and awarding of
Page 73 of 212
a contract to Sentry Roofing, Inc in the amount of $302,416 for the replacement of part
of the roof at 735 Pacesetter Drive.

ITEM: Purchase of Connecting Concrete DEPARTMENT: Administration
Sidewalks and Pads for the Rantoul Family
Sports Complex from Mid-Illinois Concrete
& Excavation Inc. in the amount of
$74,805.00
DATE: April 7, 2026 AMOUNT: $74,805.00
ATTACHMENTS: ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES:
1. Mid Illinois Sports Complex Sidewalks
Proposal
2. Sports Complex Sidewalk Addition
Project Locations
SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS:
When the Rantoul Family Sports Complex (RFSC) was constructed, one omission we
have since discovered was concrete connecting the gated areas of the diamonds to the
connecting sidewalk. The reason this would be beneficial is to provide clear and
connected access on and off the fields with portable fencing. As it is now without the
connecting concrete, the fences are dragged through grass and mud, damaging the
wheels and the bottom of the fence, causing significant and costly repairs. This
movement also requires more personnel, since going through (or above) the grass and
mud surface requires additional strength.
Following the storm damage last spring, we replaced a number of fence panels
damaged in the incident. We also, through evaluation of the location use process,
discovered that if we had concrete connectors in place it would ease the movement
from one field to another and reduce the need to replace all the fencing. In other words,
the best long-term use of the money would be to put the concrete in place, and move
the fencing more easily, thereby not needing as much, versus buying more fencing
which would need to be repaired or replaced more frequently due to the wear and tear
of moving it through the grass and mud.
The Administration felt it was financially more beneficial to purchase the installation of
concrete. We had recently gone out for bid on other concrete work which needed to be
done at the RFSC and Mid-Illinois Concrete & Excavation, Inc. was the low bidder. We
approached them to see if they would be willing to also do this work at similar pricing,
Page 104 of 212
and with a positive response, we asked them to quote the items needed. The total
amount of work, including all connections and a pad to store the fencing off the fields,
totals $74,805.00. Due to the upcoming schedule, and the use of the fields daily
beginning after the Easter holiday weekend, we asked for this work to be done as an
emergency, so it could be completed prior to the start of the full daily schedule, and limit
the need for us to prohibit entry in some areas or waiting until the fall or next spring to
complete this project. While this project was not budgeted, there are remaining funds in
the storm damage claim payout to cover the expense of the installation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Purchase of Connecting Concrete and Pads
from Mid-Illinois for $74,805.

1. Ordinance Authorizing the Issuance
of GO Refunding Bonds
SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS:
As we have routinely done in the past, as Bond rates decline and as Bonds that the
Village has previously approved reach a date upon which refinancing is available, an
Ordinance is passed to allow the Village to refinance all or a portion of the outstanding
Bond.
Currently, the General Obligation Bond, Series 2016 (originally $7,050,000 for Water,
Chanute EDC, General Fund, Local Motor Fuel Tax, Storm Water Drainage, and Motor
Fuel Tax Fund) is eligible for refinancing, and this Ordinance would allow us, if better
bond rates are identified, to authorize the issuance and delivery of General Obligation
Refunding Bonds for the purpose of refinancing.

Paying Agent then performing such function a certified copy of the proceedings giving notice of the
termination of such Paying Agent and appointing a successor, and (2) causing notice of the appointment of
the successor Paying Agent to be given by first class mail to each Registered Owner. The Paying Agent
may resign upon giving written notice by first class mail to the Village and the Registered Owners not less
than 60 days prior to the date such resignation is to take effect. No resignation or removal of the Paying
Agent shall become effective until a successor has been appointed and has accepted the duties of Paying
Agent.

Section 204. Method and Place of Payment of Bonds.

Registered Owner of such Bond as shown on the Bond Register at the close of business on the Record Date
for such interest by (1) check or draft mailed by the Paying Agent to the address of such Registered Owner
shown on the Bond Register or such other address furnished to the Paying Agent in writing by such
Registered Owner or (2) electronic transfer to such Registered Owner upon written notice given to the

containing the electronic transfer instructions including the name and address of the bank, the bank’s ABA
routing number and the account number to which such Registered Owner wishes to have such transfer

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, any Defaulted Interest with
respect to any Bond shall cease to be payable to the Registered Owner of such Bond on the relevant Record
Date and shall be payable to the Registered Owner in whose name such Bond is registered at the close of
business on the Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which Special Record Date
shall be fixed as hereinafter specified in this paragraph. The Village shall notify the Paying Agent in writing
of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Bond and the date of the proposed payment
(which date shall be at least 30 days after receipt of such notice by the Paying Agent unless the Village and
the Paying Agent agree to a shorter time period) and shall deposit with the Paying Agent at the time of such
notice an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment. Following receipt of such funds the Paying Agent shall fix a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to
the date of the proposed payment, unless the Village and the Paying Agent agree to a shorter time period.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Village of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at
the Village’s expense, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefor to be mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Registered Owner of a Bond
entitled to such notice at the address of such Registered Owner as it appears on the Bond Register on such
Special Record Date.
(e) The Paying Agent shall keep a record of payment of principal and Redemption Price of
and interest paid on all Bonds and, upon the Village’s written request, shall forward a copy or summary of
such records to the Village.
Section 205. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Bonds.
(a) The Village covenants that, as long as any of the Bonds remain Outstanding, it will cause
the Bond Register to be kept at the principal payment office of the Paying Agent for the registration, transfer

Page 166 of 212
and exchange of Bonds as herein provided. Each Bond when issued shall be registered in the name of the
Registered Owner thereof on the Bond Register.
(b) Bonds may be transferred and exchanged only on the Bond Register as provided in this
Section. Upon surrender of any Bond at the principal payment office of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent
shall transfer or exchange such Bond for a new Bond or Bonds in any authorized denomination of the same
Stated Maturity and in the same aggregate principal amount as the Bond that was presented for transfer or
exchange. Bonds presented for transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer or authorization for exchange, in a form and with guarantee of signature satisfactory
to the Paying Agent, duly executed by the Registered Owner thereof or by the Registered Owner’s duly
authorized agent.
(c) In all cases in which the privilege of transferring or exchanging Bonds is exercised, the
Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.
The Village shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Paying Agent for the registration, transfer
and exchange of Bonds provided for by this Ordinance and the reasonable cost of printing a reasonable
supply of registered bond blanks. Any additional costs or fees that might be incurred in the secondary
market, other than fees of the Paying Agent, are the responsibility of the Registered Owners of the Bonds.
If any Registered Owner fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number to the Paying Agent, the
Paying Agent may make a charge against such Registered Owner sufficient to pay any governmental charge
required to be paid as a result of such failure. In compliance with Section 3406 of the Code, such amount
may be deducted by the Paying Agent from amounts otherwise payable to such Registered Owner hereunder
or under the Bonds.
(d) The Village and the Paying Agent shall not be required to (1) register the transfer or
exchange of any Bond that has been called for redemption after notice of such redemption has been mailed
by the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 303 hereof and during the period of 15 days next preceding the
date of mailing of such notice of redemption, or (2) register the transfer or exchange of any Bond during a
period beginning at the opening of business on the day after receiving written notice from the Village of its
intent to pay Defaulted Interest and ending at the close of business on the date fixed for the payment of
Defaulted Interest pursuant to Section 204 hereof.
(e) The Village and the Paying Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Bond
is registered on the Bond Register as the absolute owner of such Bond, whether such Bond is overdue or
not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal or Redemption Price of and
interest on said Bond and for all other purposes. All payments so made to any such Registered Owner or
upon the Registered Owner’s order shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the liability upon
such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the Village nor the Paying Agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
(f) At reasonable times and under reasonable regulations established by the Paying Agent, the
Bond Register may be inspected and copied by the Registered Owners (or a designated representative
thereof) of 10% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding. The authority
of any designated representative of such Registered Owners must be evidenced to the satisfaction of the
Paying Agent.
Section 206. Execution, Registration, Authentication and Delivery of Bonds.
(a) Each of the Bonds, including any Bonds issued in exchange or as substitutions for the
Bonds initially delivered, shall be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the Village President and
attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Village Clerk and shall have the Village’s official seal
-7-
Page 167 of 212
affixed or imprinted thereon. In case any officer whose signature appears on any Bonds ceases to be such
officer before the delivery of such Bonds, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all
purposes, as if such person had remained in office until delivery. Any Bond may be signed by such persons
who at the actual time of the execution of such Bond are the proper officers to sign such Bond although at
the date of such Bond such persons may not have been such officers.
(b) The Village President and Village Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and
execute the Bonds in the manner herein specified, and, when duly executed and registered, to deliver the
Bonds to the Paying Agent for authentication.
(c) The Bonds shall have endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, which shall be manually executed by an authorized signatory
of the Paying Agent, but it shall not be necessary that the same signatory sign the certificate of
authentication on all of the Bonds that may be issued hereunder at any one time. No Bond shall be entitled
to any security or benefit under this Ordinance or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until
such certificate of authentication has been duly executed by the Paying Agent. Such executed certificate
of authentication upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been duly authenticated
and delivered under this Ordinance. Upon authentication, the Paying Agent shall deliver the Bonds to or
upon the order of the Underwriter, or shall hold the Bonds as “FAST Agent” for the benefit of the Beneficial
Owners (as hereinafter defined), upon payment to the Village of the purchase price of the Bonds plus
accrued interest thereon to the date of their delivery.
Section 207. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Bonds.
(a) If (1) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Paying Agent or the Paying Agent receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond, and (2) there is delivered to the
Paying Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by the Paying Agent to save each of the Village
and the Paying Agent harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Paying Agent that such Bond has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Village shall execute and the Paying Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the
same Stated Maturity and of like tenor and principal amount.
(b) If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond has become or is about to become due
and payable, the Paying Agent, in its discretion, may pay such Bond instead of delivering a new Bond.
(c) Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the Village or the Paying Agent
may require the payment by the Registered Owner of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Paying Agent) connected therewith.
(d) Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute a replacement of the
Village’s prior obligation, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Ordinance equally and ratably with
all other Outstanding Bonds.
Section 208. Cancellation and Destruction of Bonds Upon Payment. All Bonds that have
been paid or redeemed or that otherwise have been surrendered to the Paying Agent, either at or before
Maturity, shall be canceled by the Paying Agent immediately upon the payment, redemption and surrender
thereof to the Paying Agent and subsequently destroyed in accordance with the customary practices of the
Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall execute a certificate in duplicate describing the Bonds so canceled
and shall file an executed counterpart of such certificate with the Village.

Section 209. Preliminary and Final Official Statement. The use by the Underwriter of any
Preliminary Official Statement and any final Official Statement relating to the Bonds (the “Official
Statement”) is hereby ratified, approved and authorized; the execution and delivery of the Official
Statement is hereby authorized; and the officers of the Village are hereby authorized to take any action as
may be required on the part of the Village to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Ordinance,
said Preliminary Official Statement, the Official Statement and the Bonds.
Section 210. Sale of Bonds.
(a) The Village President or Village Administrator is each hereby authorized to enter into a
bond purchase agreement between the Village and the Underwriter, under which the Village agrees to sell
the Bonds to the Underwriter at the purchase price set forth in the Notification of Sale, upon the terms and
conditions set forth therein, which each officer is hereby authorized to execute such bond purchase
agreement for and on the Village’s behalf, such officer’s signature thereon being conclusive evidence of
his or her approval thereof.
(b) The Village President is authorized and directed to approve the purchase price for the Bonds,
the principal amounts by maturity, the interest rates, optional redemption provisions, and the other final terms
of the Bonds, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 202, and in that connection, to execute and deliver
the Notification of Sale for and on behalf of and as the act and deed of the Village, which approval will be
conclusively evidenced by the execution by the Village President. Upon execution, the Notification of Sale
will be attached and made part of this Ordinance. The Village Clerk is authorized and directed to attest the
execution of the Notification of Sale and any other documents, certificates and instruments that are necessary
or desirable to carry out the intent of this Ordinance.
Section 211. Securities Depository.
(a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Beneficial Owner” means, whenever used with respect to a Bond, the Person in whose name such
Bond is recorded as the beneficial owner of such Bond by a Participant on the records of such Participant,
or such Person’s subrogee.
“Cede & Co.” means Cede & Co., the nominee of Securities Depository, and any successor
nominee of Securities Depository with respect to the Bonds.
“Participant” means any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which Securities
Depository holds Bonds as securities depository.
“Representation Letter” means the representation letters from the Village and the Paying Agent to
DTC with respect to the Bonds.
“Securities Depository” means The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York.
(b) The Bonds shall be initially issued as one single authenticated fully registered bond for
each Stated Maturity. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the Bond
Register kept by the Paying Agent in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Securities Depository.
The Paying Agent and the Village may treat the Securities Depository (or its nominee) as the sole and
exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal or
Redemption Price of and interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed,
giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Registered Owners of Bonds under this Ordinance,
-9-
Page 169 of 212
registering the transfer of Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever; and neither the Paying Agent nor
the Village shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Paying Agent nor the Village shall
have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any Person claiming a beneficial ownership interest
in the Bonds under or through the Securities Depository or any Participant, or any other Person which is
not shown on the Bond Register kept by the Paying Agent as being a Registered Owner of any Bonds, with
respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by the Securities Depository or any Participant, with
respect to the payment by the Securities Depository or any Participant of any amount with respect to the
principal or Redemption Price of and interest on the Bonds, with respect to any notice which is permitted
or required to be given to Registered Owners of Bonds under this Ordinance, with respect to the selection
by the Securities Depository or any Participant of any Person to receive payment in the event of a partial
redemption of the Bonds, or with respect to any consent given or other action taken by the Securities
Depository as Registered Owner of the Bonds. The Paying Agent shall pay all principal or Redemption
Price of and interest on the Bonds only to Cede & Co. in accordance with the Representation Letter, and all
such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Village’s obligations with
respect to the principal or Redemption Price of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums
so paid. No Person other than the Securities Depository (or the Paying Agent as “FAST Agent”) shall
receive an authenticated Bond for each separate Stated Maturity evidencing the Village’s obligation to make
payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by the Securities Depository to the Paying Agent of
written notice to the effect that the Securities Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in
place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in accordance with paragraph (e)
hereof.
(c) If the Participants holding a majority position in the Bonds determine that it is in the best
interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, the Participants may notify
the Securities Depository and the Paying Agent, whereupon the Securities Depository shall notify the
Participants of the availability through the Securities Depository of Bond certificates. In such event, the
Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof. The Securities Depository may
determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the
Village and the Paying Agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.
In such event the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Bond
is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Securities Depository, all payments with respect
to the principal or Redemption Price of and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond
shall be made and given, respectively, to the Securities Depository as provided in the Representation Letter.
(e) If any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under paragraph (b) or (c) hereof, such
transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Paying Agent from the Registered Owners
thereof of the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted
transferee in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. If Bonds are issued to holders other than
Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for the Securities Depository as holder of all the Bonds, or other
securities depository as holder of all the Bonds, the provisions of this Ordinance shall also apply to all
matters relating thereto, including, without limitation, the printing of such Bonds and the method of
payment of the principal or Redemption Price of and interest on such Bonds. In the event that Bonds are
issued to holders other than the Securities Depository, the Paying Agent may rely on information provided
by the Securities Depository or any Participant as to the names, addresses of and principal amounts held by
the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds.

ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION OF BONDS
Section 301. Redemption of Bonds.
(a) The optional redemption provisions of the Bonds, if any, shall be set forth in the
Notification of Sale.
(b) Any Bonds designated as Term Bonds in the Notification of Sale shall be subject to the
following mandatory redemption requirements. At its option, to be exercised on or before the 45th day
next preceding any mandatory Redemption Date, the Village may: (1) deliver to the Paying Agent for
cancellation Term Bonds subject to mandatory redemption on said mandatory Redemption Date, in any
aggregate principal amount desired; or (2) furnish the Paying Agent funds, together with appropriate
instructions, for the purpose of purchasing any Term Bonds subject to mandatory redemption on said
mandatory Redemption Date from any Registered Owner thereof whereupon the Paying Agent shall expend
such funds for such purpose to such extent as may be practical; or (3) receive a credit with respect to the
mandatory redemption obligation of the Village under this Section for any Term Bonds subject to
mandatory redemption on said mandatory Redemption Date which, prior to such date, have been redeemed
(other than through the operation of the mandatory redemption requirements of this subsection (b)) and
canceled by the Paying Agent and not theretofore applied as a credit against any redemption obligation
under this subsection (b). Each Term Bond so delivered or previously purchased or redeemed shall be
credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof on the obligation of the Village to redeem Term Bonds of
the same Stated Maturity on such mandatory Redemption Date, and any excess of such amount shall be
credited on future mandatory redemption obligations for Term Bonds of the same Stated Maturity in
chronological order, and the principal amount of Term Bonds of the same Stated Maturity to be redeemed
by operation of the requirements of this Section shall be accordingly reduced. If the Village intends to
exercise any option granted by the provisions of clauses (1), (2) or (3) above, the Village will, on or before
the 45th day next preceding each mandatory Redemption Date, furnish the Paying Agent a written
certificate indicating to what extent the provisions of said clauses (1), (2) and (3) are to be complied with
respect to such mandatory redemption.
Section 302. Selection of Bonds to Be Redeemed.
(a) The Paying Agent shall call Bonds for redemption and payment and shall give notice of
such redemption as herein provided upon receipt by the Paying Agent at least 45 days prior to the
Redemption Date of the Village’s written instructions specifying the principal amount, Stated Maturities,
Redemption Date and Redemption Price of the Bonds to be called for redemption. The Paying Agent may
in its discretion waive such notice period so long as the notice requirements set forth in Section 303 are
met. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to the mandatory redemption of Term
Bonds designated in the Notification of Sale, and such Term Bonds shall be called by the Paying Agent for
redemption pursuant to such mandatory redemption requirements without the necessity of any action by the
Village and whether or not the Paying Agent shall hold moneys available and sufficient to effect the
required redemption.
(b) Bonds shall be redeemed only in the principal amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple
thereof. When less than all of the Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, such Bonds shall be redeemed
in such order of their Stated Maturities as shall be determined by the Village, and Bonds of less than a full
Stated Maturity and bearing interest at the same interest rate shall be selected by the Paying Agent in $5,000
units of principal amount by lot or in such other equitable manner as the Paying Agent may determine.
-11-
Page 171 of 212
(c) In the case of a partial redemption of Bonds, when Bonds of denominations greater than
$5,000 are then Outstanding, then for all purposes in connection with such redemption each $5,000 of face
value shall be treated as though it were a separate Bond of the denomination of $5,000. If it is determined
that one or more, but not all, of the $5,000 units of face value represented by any Bond are selected for
redemption, then upon notice of intention to redeem such $5,000 unit or units, the Registered Owner of
such Bond or the Registered Owner’s duly authorized agent shall present and surrender such Bond to the
Paying Agent (1) for payment of the Redemption Price and interest to the Redemption Date of such $5,000
unit or units of face value called for redemption, and (2) for exchange, without charge to the Registered
Owner thereof, for a new Bond or Bonds of the aggregate principal amount of the unredeemed portion of
the principal amount of such Bond. If the Registered Owner of any such Bond fails to present such Bond
to the Paying Agent for payment and exchange as aforesaid, such Bond shall, nevertheless, become due and
payable on the Redemption Date to the extent of the $5,000 unit or units of face value called for redemption
(and to that extent only).
Section 303. Notice and Effect of Call for Redemption.
(a) Unless waived by any Registered Owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any
redemption shall be given by the Paying Agent on the Village’s behalf by mailing a copy of an official
redemption notice by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date to each Registered Owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond
Register.
(b) All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall contain the following
information:
(1) the Redemption Date;
(2) the Redemption Price;
(3) if less than all Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification number,
Stated Maturity and, in the case of partial redemption of any Bonds, the respective principal
amounts of the Bonds to be redeemed;
(4) a statement that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption and that interest thereon
shall cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date; and
(5) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption
Price, which shall be the principal payment office of the Paying Agent.
(c) Prior to any Redemption Date, the Village shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount
of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds that are to be
redeemed on such Redemption Date.
(d) Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of
Bonds to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date, at the Redemption Price
therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Village defaults in the payment of
the Redemption Price) such Bonds or portion of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such
Bonds for redemption in accordance with such notice, the Redemption Price of such Bonds shall be paid
by the Paying Agent. Installments of interest due on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable as
herein provided for payment of interest. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any Bond, the Paying
-12-
Page 172 of 212
Agent shall prepare for the Registered Owner a new Bond or Bonds of the same Stated Maturity in the
amount of the unpaid principal as provided herein. All Bonds that have been surrendered for redemption
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Paying Agent as provided herein and shall not be reissued.
(e) The failure of any Registered Owner to receive the foregoing notice or any defect therein
shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the call for redemption.
(f) Each check or other transfer of funds issued for the payment of the Redemption Price of
Bonds being redeemed shall bear or have enclosed therewith the CUSIP number, if any, of the Bonds being
redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.
(g) The Paying Agent is also directed to comply with any mandatory standards then in effect
for processing redemptions of municipal securities established by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Failure to comply with such standards shall not affect or invalidate the redemption of any
Bond.
(h) With respect to optional redemptions, such notice may be conditioned upon moneys being
on deposit with the Paying Agent on or prior to the Redemption Date in an amount sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price on the Redemption Date. If such notice is conditional and either the Paying Agent
receives written notice from the Village that moneys sufficient to pay the Redemption Price will not be on
deposit on the Redemption Date, or such moneys are not received on the Redemption Date, then such notice
shall be of no force and effect, the Paying Agent shall not redeem such Bonds and the Paying Agent shall
give notice, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not
or will not be so received and that such Bonds will not be redeemed.
ARTICLE IV
SECURITY FOR AND PAYMENT OF BONDS
Section 401. Security for the Bonds. The Bonds shall be general obligations of the Village

of and interest on the Bonds due on and prior to July 1, 2027, and such principal and interest will be paid
from other legally available funds of the Village that are sufficient to make such payments:

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Village may abate the foregoing taxes
to the extent other revenues are available to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and on deposit
in the Debt Service Fund or set aside in another fund or account of the Village. The Village shall timely
file an appropriate certification of such abatement with the County Clerk. If for any reason there is
abatement of such levy of taxes and the failure thereafter to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds,

sums to the Paying Agent in a manner which ensures that the Paying Agent will receive immediately
available funds in such amounts on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the dates when such
principal or Redemption Price, and interest will become due. If, through the lapse of time or otherwise, the
Registered Owners of Bonds are no longer entitled to enforce payment of the Bonds or the interest thereon,
the Paying Agent shall return said funds to the Village. All money deposited with the Paying Agent shall
be deemed to be deposited in accordance with and subject to all of the provisions contained in this
Ordinance and shall be held in trust by the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Registered Owners of the
Bonds entitled to payment from such money.
Section 504. Deposits and Investment of Money.
(a) Money in each of the funds created by and referred to in this Ordinance shall be deposited
in a bank or banks or other legally permitted financial institutions that are members of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. All such deposits shall be continuously and adequately secured by the financial
institutions holding such deposits as provided by the laws of the State of Illinois. All money held in the
-15-
Page 175 of 212
funds created by this Ordinance shall be kept separate and apart from all other funds of the Village so that
there shall be no commingling of such funds with any other funds of the Village.
(b) Money held in any fund referred to in this Ordinance may be invested by the Village
Treasurer at the direction of the Board of Trustees, in accordance with this Ordinance and the Federal Tax
Certificate, in any legally permissible investment of funds of the Village; provided, however, that no such
investment may be made for a period extending longer than to the date when the money invested may be
needed for the purpose for which such fund was created. All earnings on any investments held in any fund
shall accrue to and become a part of such fund.
Section 505. Nonpresentment of Bonds. If any Bond is not presented for payment when the
principal thereof becomes due at Maturity, if funds sufficient to pay such Bond have been made available
to the Paying Agent, all liability of the Village to the Registered Owner thereof for the payment of such
Bond shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged and thereupon it shall be the duty of
the Paying Agent to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the Registered
Owner of such Bond, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds for any claim of whatever
nature on his or her part under this Ordinance or on, or with respect to, said Bond. If any Bond is not
presented for payment within one year following the date when such Bond becomes due at Maturity, the
Paying Agent shall, without liability for interest thereon, repay to the Village the funds theretofore held by
it for payment of such Bond, and such Bond shall, subject to the defense of any applicable statute of
limitation, thereafter be an unsecured obligation of the Village, and the Registered Owner thereof shall be
entitled to look only to the Village for payment, and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid to it by
the Paying Agent, and the Village shall not be liable for any interest thereon and shall not be regarded as a
trustee of such money.
Section 506. Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. In any case where a Bond
Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of the principal or Redemption Price of and interest on
the Bonds need not be made on such Bond Payment Date but may be made on the next succeeding Business
Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Bond Payment Date, and no interest shall accrue for
the period after such Bond Payment Date.
Section 507. Redemption of Refunded Bonds. The Refunded Bonds are hereby called for
redemption and payment prior to maturity on the earliest date possible after all redemption notices have
been provided as required by the Series 2016 Bond Ordinance. The Refunded Bonds shall be redeemed at
the principal payment office of the 2016 Paying Agent, by the payment on the redemption date of the
redemption price thereof and accrued interest thereon to the redemption date. The Board of Trustees of the
Village hereby authorizes the Village President or Village Clerk to cause notice of the call for redemption
and payment of the Refunded Bonds to be given in the manner provided in the Series 2016 Bond Ordinance.
The officers of the Village and the 2016 Paying Agent are hereby authorized and directed to take such other
action as may be necessary in order to effect the redemption and payment of the Refunded Bonds as herein
provided.

the time Outstanding shall have the right for the equal benefit and protection of all Registered Owners of
Bonds similarly situated:
(a) by mandamus or other suit, action or proceedings at law or in equity to enforce the
rights of such Registered Owner or Owners against the Village and its officers, agents and
employees, and to require and compel duties and obligations required by the provisions of this
Ordinance or by the Constitution and laws of the State of Illinois;
(b) by suit, action or other proceedings in equity or at law to require the Village, its
officers, agents and employees to account as if they were the trustees of an express trust; and
(c) by suit, action or other proceedings in equity or at law to enjoin any acts or things
which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Registered Owners of the Bonds.
Section 602. Limitation on Rights of Registered Owners. The covenants and agreements of
the Village contained herein and in the Bonds shall be for the equal benefit, protection and security of the
legal owners of any or all of the Bonds. All of the Bonds shall be of equal rank and without preference or
priority of one Bond over any other Bond in the application of the funds herein pledged to the payment of
the principal of and the interest on the Bonds, or otherwise, except as to rate of interest, or date of Maturity
or right of prior redemption as provided in this Ordinance. No one or more Registered Owners secured
hereby shall have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the
security granted and provided for herein, or to enforce any right hereunder, except in the manner herein
provided, and all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained for the equal benefit
of all Registered Owners of such Outstanding Bonds.
Section 603. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy conferred herein upon the Registered Owners
is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to every other remedy and may be exercised without exhausting and without regard to any other remedy
conferred herein. No waiver of any default or breach of duty or contract by the Registered Owner of any
Bond shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or breach of duty or contract or shall impair any rights
or remedies consequent thereon. No delay or omission of any Registered Owner to exercise any right or
power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver
of any such default or acquiescence therein. Every substantive right and every remedy conferred upon the
Registered Owners of the Bonds by this Ordinance may be enforced and exercised from time to time and
as often as may be deemed expedient. If any suit, action or proceedings taken by any Registered Owner on
account of any default or to enforce any right or exercise any remedy has been discontinued or abandoned
for any reason, or has been determined adversely to such Registered Owner, then, and in every such case,
the Village and the Registered Owners of the Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, respectively, and all rights, remedies, powers and duties of the Registered Owners shall continue
as if no such suit, action or other proceedings had been brought or taken.
Section 604. Exception for Continuing Disclosure. This Article VI shall not apply to Section
805 hereof regarding the Village’s continuing disclosure obligations, and Registered Owners or Beneficial
Owners (as defined in the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking) shall have no remedies for enforcement of
said obligations other than the remedies provided for in Section 805 hereof and the Continuing Disclosure
Undertaking.

ARTICLE VII
DEFEASANCE
Section 701. Defeasance.
(a) When any or all of the principal of the Bonds or scheduled interest payments thereon have
been paid and discharged, then the requirements contained in this Ordinance and the pledge of the Village’s
faith and credit hereunder and all other rights granted hereby shall terminate with respect to the principal
of the Bonds or scheduled interest payments thereon so paid and discharged. Bonds or scheduled interest
payments thereon shall be deemed to have been paid and discharged within the meaning of this Ordinance

trust powers, at or prior to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date of said principal of the Bonds or the
interest payments thereon, in trust for and irrevocably appropriated thereto, money and/or Defeasance
Obligations which, together with the interest to be earned on any such Defeasance Obligations, will be
sufficient for the payment of the principal of and redemption premium, if any, on said Bonds and/or interest
accrued to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, or if default in such payment has occurred on such
date, then to the date of the tender of such payments; provided, however, that if any such Bonds are to be
redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, (1) the Village has elected to redeem such Bonds, and (2) either
notice of such redemption has been given, or the Village has given irrevocable instructions, or shall have
provided for an escrow agent to give irrevocable instructions, to the Paying Agent to give such notice of
redemption in compliance with Section 302(a) hereof.
(b) Any money and Defeasance Obligations that at any time shall be deposited by or on behalf
of the Village with the Paying Agent or other commercial bank or trust company for the purpose of paying
and discharging any of the principal of the Bonds, or the scheduled interest payments thereon, shall be and
are hereby assigned, transferred and set over to the Paying Agent or other bank or trust company in trust
for the respective Registered Owners of the Bonds, and such money shall be and is hereby irrevocably
appropriated to the payment and discharge thereof. All money and Defeasance Obligations deposited with
the Paying Agent or other bank or trust company shall be deemed to be deposited in accordance with and
subject to all of the provisions of this Ordinance.
(c) To accomplish a defeasance of the principal of the Bonds or scheduled interest payments
thereon when the Village will rely on interest to be earned on any Defeasance Obligations deposited as
described in paragraph (a) above, the Village shall cause to be delivered to the Paying Agent (i) a report of
an independent firm of nationally recognized certified public accountants verifying the sufficiency of the
escrow established to pay the Bonds in full at Maturity, (ii) an escrow agreement and (iii) an opinion of
Bond Counsel to the effect that the principal of the Bonds or scheduled interest payments thereon are no
longer “Outstanding” under this Ordinance. Bonds shall be deemed “Outstanding” under this Ordinance

expectations, terms and conditions relating to the use and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, to
establish and maintain the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax
purposes, and to provide guidance for complying with the arbitrage rebate provisions of Code.

office of the Village Clerk. Such audits shall at all times during the usual business hours be open to the
examination and inspection by any taxpayer, any Registered Owner of any of the Bonds, or by anyone
acting for or on behalf of such taxpayer or Registered Owner.

Village shall review such audit, and if the audit discloses that proper provision has not been made for all of
the requirements of this Ordinance, the Village shall promptly cure such deficiency.
Section 803. Amendments.
(a) Notwithstanding the Village’s obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking
which may only be modified as provided therein, the rights and duties of the Village and the Registered
Owners, and the terms and provisions of the Bonds or of this Ordinance, may be amended or modified at
any time in any respect by ordinance of the Village with the written consent of the Registered Owners of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding. Such consent shall be evidenced
by an instrument or instruments executed by such Registered Owners and duly acknowledged or proved in
the manner of a deed to be recorded, and such instrument or instruments shall be filed with the Village
Clerk. No such modification or alteration may:
(1) extend the maturity of any payment of principal or interest due upon any Bond;
(2) alter the optional Redemption Date of any Bond;
(3) effect a reduction in the amount which the Village is required to pay as principal
of or interest on any Bond;

(5) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Bonds required for the written
consent to any modification or alteration of the provisions of this Ordinance.

by Ordinance duly adopted by the governing body of the Village at any time in any legal respect with the
written consent of the Registered Owners of all of the Bonds at the time Outstanding.
-19-
Page 179 of 212
(c) Without notice to or the consent of any Registered Owners, the Village may amend or
supplement this Ordinance for the purpose of curing any formal defect, omission, inconsistency or
ambiguity therein or in connection with any other change therein which is not materially adverse to the
interests of the Registered Owners.
(d) Every amendment or modification of the provisions of the Bonds or of this Ordinance, to
which the written consent of the Registered Owners is given, as above provided, shall be expressed in an
ordinance adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village amending or supplementing the provisions of
this Ordinance and shall be deemed to be a part of this Ordinance. A certified copy of every such
amendatory or supplemental ordinance if any, and a certified copy of this Ordinance shall always be kept
on file in the office of the Village Clerk and shall be made available for inspection by the Registered Owner
of any Bond or a prospective purchaser or owner of any Bond authorized by this Ordinance, and upon
payment of the reasonable cost of preparing the same, a certified copy of any such amendatory or
supplemental ordinance or of this Ordinance will be sent by the Village Clerk to any such Registered Owner
or prospective Registered Owner.
(e) Any and all modifications made in the manner hereinabove provided shall not become
effective until there has been filed with the Village Clerk a copy of the ordinance of the Village hereinabove
provided for, duly certified, as well as proof of any required consent to such modification by the Registered
Owners of the Bonds then Outstanding. It shall not be necessary to note on any of the Outstanding Bonds
any reference to such amendment or modification.
(f) The Village shall furnish to the Paying Agent a copy of any amendment to the Bonds or
this Ordinance which affects the duties or obligations of the Paying Agent under this Ordinance.
Section 804. Notices, Consents and Other Instruments by Registered Owners.
(a) Any notice, consent, request, direction, approval or other instrument to be signed and
executed by the Registered Owners may be in any number of concurrent writings of similar tenor and may
be signed or executed by such Registered Owners in person or by agent appointed in writing. Proof of the
execution of any such instrument or of the writing appointing any such agent and of the ownership of Bonds
(except for the assignment of ownership of a Bond as provided for in the form of Bond set forth in
Exhibit A) if made in the following manner, shall be sufficient for any of the purposes of this Ordinance,
and shall be conclusive in favor of the Village and the Paying Agent with regard to any action taken,
suffered or omitted under any such instrument, namely:

proved by a certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction who by law has power to take
acknowledgments within such jurisdiction that the Person signing such instrument acknowledged
before such officer the execution thereof, or by affidavit of any witness to such execution.
(2) The fact of ownership of Bonds, the amount or amounts, numbers and other
identification of Bonds, and the date of holding the same shall be proved by the Bond Register.
(b) In determining whether the Registered Owners of the requisite principal amount of Bonds
Outstanding have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this
Ordinance, Bonds owned by the Village shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding under this
Ordinance, except that, in determining whether the Registered Owners shall be protected in relying upon
any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Bonds which the
Registered Owners know to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bonds
so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded as aforesaid if the pledgee
-20-

establishes to the satisfaction of the Registered Owners the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such
Bonds and that the pledgee is not the Village.

on the Bonds is insured pursuant to a municipal bond insurance policy (the “Municipal Bond Insurance
Policy”) issued by a bond insurer (the “Bond Insurer”), and as long as such Municipal Bond Insurance
Policy shall be in full force and effect, the Village and the Paying Agent agree to comply with such usual
and reasonable provisions regarding presentment and payment of the Bonds, subrogation of the rights of
the Registered Owners to the Bond Insurer upon payment of the Bonds by the Bond Insurer, amendment

The principal or Redemption Price of this Bond shall be paid at Maturity or upon earlier redemption

This Bond is one of an authorized series of bonds of the Village designated “General Obligation
Refunding Bonds, Series 2026,” aggregating the principal amount of $_________ (the “Bonds”), issued by
the Village for the purpose of (1) refunding the Village’s General Obligation Bonds, Series 2016, and
(2) paying costs of issuing the Bonds, under the authority of and in full compliance with the constitution
and laws of the State of Illinois and an ordinance duly passed (the “Ordinance”) and proceedings duly and
legally had by the governing body of the Village. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Ordinance.
[*The Bonds are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity.*] [*At the Village’s option,
the Bonds or portions thereof maturing on January 1, 20___ and thereafter may be called for redemption
and payment prior to maturity on January 1, 20___ and thereafter as a whole or in part at any time in such
order of maturity as shall be determined by the Village (Bonds of less than a full maturity to be selected in
multiples of $5,000 principal amount by lot or such other equitable manner as the Paying Agent shall
designate) at the Redemption Price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest thereon
to the Redemption Date.*]
Notice of redemption, unless waived, is to be given by the Paying Agent by mailing an official
redemption notice by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date to each Registered Owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond
Register maintained by the Paying Agent. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds
or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Village defaults in the payment
of the Redemption Price) such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest.
The Bonds constitute general obligations of the Village payable as to principal or Redemption Price
of and interest on the Bonds from ad valorem taxes levied without limitation as to rate or amount upon all
the taxable property, within the Village’s territorial limits. The full faith, credit and resources of the Village
are irrevocably pledged for the prompt payment of the principal or Redemption Price of and interest on the
Bonds as the same become due.
The Bonds are being issued by means of a book-entry system with no physical distribution of bond
certificates to be made except as provided in the Ordinance. One Bond certificate with respect to each date
on which the Bonds are stated to mature, registered in the nominee name of the Securities Depository, is
being issued and required to be delivered to and immobilized with the Securities Depository or with the
Paying Agent as the Securities Depository’s FAST Agent. The book-entry system will evidence positions
held in the Bonds by the Securities Depository’s participants, beneficial ownership of the Bonds in
authorized denominations being evidenced in the records of such participants. Transfers of ownership shall
A-2
Page 184 of 212
be effected on the records of the Securities Depository and its participants. The Paying Agent and the
Village will recognize the Securities Depository nominee, while the Registered Owner of this Bond, as the
owner of this Bond for all purposes, including (1) payments of the principal or Redemption Price of and
interest on, this Bond, (2) notices and (3) voting. Transfers of principal or Redemption Price of and interest
payments to participants of the Securities Depository will be the responsibility of such participants and
other nominees of such beneficial owners. The Paying Agent and the Village will not be responsible or
liable for such transfers of payments or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained
by the Securities Depository, the Securities Depository nominee, its participants or persons acting through
such participants. While the Securities Depository nominee is the owner of this Bond, notwithstanding the
provision hereinabove contained, payments of the principal or Redemption Price of and interest on this
Bond shall be made in accordance with existing arrangements between the Paying Agent, the Village and
the Securities Depository.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE ORDINANCE, THIS GLOBAL BOND MAY
BE TRANSFERRED, IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART, ONLY TO ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE
SECURITIES DEPOSITORY OR TO A SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY OR TO A
NOMINEE OF A SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY.
This Bond may be transferred or exchanged, as provided in the Ordinance, only on the Bond
Register kept for that purpose at the principal payment office of the Paying Agent, upon surrender of this
Bond together with a written instrument of transfer or authorization for exchange satisfactory to the Paying
Agent duly executed by the Registered Owner or the Registered Owner’s duly authorized agent, and
thereupon a new Bond or Bonds in any authorized denomination of the same maturity and in the same
aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor as provided in the
Ordinance and upon payment of the charges therein prescribed. The Village and the Paying Agent may
deem and treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered on the Bond Register as the absolute owner
hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal or Redemption Price of and
interest due hereon and for all other purposes.
This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or
benefit under the Ordinance until the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Paying
Agent.
IT IS HEREBY DECLARED AND CERTIFIED that all acts, conditions and things required to
be done and to exist precedent to and in the issuance of the Bonds have been done and performed and do
exist in due and regular form and manner as required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Illinois;
that a direct annual tax upon all taxable property situated in the Village has been levied for the purpose of
paying the principal or Redemption Price of and interest on the Bonds when due; and that the total

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: Loan for a Self-Serve Aviation Fuel DEPARTMENT: Administration
Dispensing System for the Rantoul National
Aviation Center from the Bank of Rantoul
for a Not-to-Exceed amount of
$225,000.00, with a payback over five
years at a rate of 3.975%
DATE: April 7, 2026 AMOUNT: Not-to-Exceed $225,000.00
ATTACHMENTS: ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES:
SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS:
As outlined earlier, there is a significant benefit to the Rantoul National Aviation Center
to provide self-serve aviation fuel. The financial benefit to the Village would recoup the
expenditure of the system's installation. However, the Airport Fund does not have
enough funding currently for the capital outlay. Recognizing that over a five-year period,
the revenue generated from the addition of self-service aviation fueling would exceed
the initial cost of installation and ongoing maintenance, the Administration feels it is in
the best interest of the Village to take out a loan not-to-exceed $225,000.00, with a
payback term of five-years. This would allow the installation of the equipment and the
operation of the fueling station to begin as soon as possible. Administration reached
out to several local financial institutions, and received quotes for the following interest
rates:
▪ Bank of Rantoul - 3.975%
▪ First Midwest - 4.840%
▪ Credit Union 1 - 7.000%
▪ Busey - 7.390%
▪ Community Plus - Did not offer a bid
With this in mind, the Administration would ask the Board of Trustees to approve the
issuance of a loan from Bank of Rantoul to the Village of Rantoul for up to $225,000.00
for the installation of a self-serve aviation fueling station at the Rantoul National Aviation
Center, with a payback over five years at a rate of 3.975% from the revenue generated
by the sales of aviation fuel at the Rantoul National Aviation Center.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the loan from the Bank of Rantoul for up to
$225,000.00, with a payback over five years at a rate of 3.975%

which extends into the area. Tax Increment Financing provides for redevelopment that would otherwise
not occur without the support of public investments. This tool allows the Village to capture the increase
in local property tax that result from a redevelopment which also contributes to the TIF fund. Money
collected in this fund may only be used on projects within the boundary of the district.
TIF II boundaries include the west side from west of South Murray Road to east of Interstate 57
south of approximately Stonebridge to the Village corporate limits. Projected expenditures in

of Murray Road. Anticipated expenditures in Fiscal Year 2026 include $50,000 for Shields
Property Tax Rebate and $30,000 to Oceanview Property Tax Rebate.

Fund 721 (Foreign Fire Insurance Fund) is a fund established by Illinois State Statute, commonly
