Rating Description General Obligation Unlimited Tax
NEW YORK, November 16, 2000 -- Moody's has assigned an Al rating to Brooklyn
Center, MN sale of $735,000 in General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series
2000A. In addition, Moody's affirms the Al rating on the city's outstanding
$24 million in general obligation bonds. Proceeds from the bonds, secured by
the city's general obligation unlimited tax pledge, will finance various
street reconstruction projects. The rating reflects the city's sound economy
as a mature suburb in the Twin Cities metropolitan area; its strong financial
position; and moderate debt burden.
MATURE MINNEAPOLIS SUBURB EXPERIENCING REDEVELOPMENT
Moody's expects the city's economy to remain strong and stable due to its
favorable location in the economically vibrant Twin Cities metro area and the
ongoing redevelopment initiatives to foster tax base growth. The tax base,
currently $1.3 billion, experienced declines in the early 1990s due to a
depressed commercial and industrial sector. However, in the last few years,
assessment values have experienced growth, evidencing appreciation of property
values as well as ongoing redevelopment efforts. Recent growth in this service
driven economy has included expansion in the city's retail sector. The city's
wealth levels are above the state average, however, growth during the previous
decade lagged behind that of both Hennepin County (rated Aaa) and the state,
reflecting the mature nature of the city. Ample employment opportunities in
the county are reflected in the low unemployment rates of 2.3 %, in August
2000, which is less than the state average of 2.5 %.
STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION EVIDENCED BY AMPLE RESERVES
Moody's expects the city's financial position to remain strong due to a
history of sound financial management. The fiscal 1999 undesignated General
Fund balance and the portion reserved for working capital was $7.2 million, or
52.1% of General Fund revenues. The city continues to surpass its fund balance
policy, which calls for General Fund reserves for working capital equal to 45%
of the subsequent year's budget. The fiscal 1999 General Fund balance was
drawn down slightly ($30,000) due to a residual equity transfer to the Capital
Projects fund for expenditures related to annual street improvements and City
Hall renovations. Another recently approved residual equity transfer of
$680,000 in fiscal 2000 to the Capital Projects is expected to offset the
projected $500,000 operating surplus, evidencing the city's historical trend
of using surpluses for pay -as- you -go capital expenditures. Officials expect
that capital expenditures will taper after 2002, which could diminish the use
existing operating reserves for capital expenditures.
RESOLUTION OF TAX APPEAL BY BROOKDALE MALL WILL NOT HURT CITY'S FINANCIAL
POSITION
The largest taxpayer, Brookdale Mall, is appealing their 1997 assessed
valuation. The city has reserved $250,000 in the General Fund, an amount
officials believe sufficient to meet this potential obligation. A previous
$1.1 million tax appeal brought by the former owners of the Brookdale Mall for
the years 1992 through 1996 was resolved in March 1998, with the city's
settlement being paid in December of 1998 and January 1999. By reserving funds
equal to that amount previously, the city's financial position was not
negatively affected. At this time, there are no further appeals reported.
MANAGEABLE DEBT POSITION CHARACTERIZED BY SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT FROM NON -LEVY
SOURCES
Moody's expects the city's 3.9% debt burden will remain manageable due to
rapid principal amortization of almost 90% in ten years, significant support
from non -levy sources, and moderate future borrowing needs. While debt service
payments account for 22% of 1999 operating expenditures, significant support
from special assessments, tax increments, and enterprise fund revenues
mitigate the impact on the general tax levy. The city expects to continue
issuing approximately $1.5 million annually in special assessment debt for
ongoing street reconstruction. Additionally, officials expect that a City Hall
reconstruction project, estimated to cost $3.5 million, will be cash financed,
and will not require borrowing.

(vi) So long as any Bond is registered in the name of a Nominee, all payments

replacement thereof or amendment or substitute thereto, including any standard
procedures or policies referenced therein or applicable thereto respecting the procedures
and other matters relating to the Depository's role as book -entry Depository for the

other action to be taken by Holders, the Depository shall consider the date of receipt of
notice requesting such consent or other action as the record date for such consent or other
action; provided, that the City or the Registrar may establish a special record dale for such
consent or other action. The City or the Registrar shall, to the extent possible, give the
Depository notice of such special record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of
such special record date to the extent possible.
(ix) Any successor Registrar in its written acceptance of its duties under this
Resolution and any paying agency registrar agreement, shall agree to take any actions
necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the Letter of
Representations.

surrendering the Bonds for a Bond of a lesser denomination as provided in paragraph 5
hereof (with respect to optional redemption), make a notation of the reduction in principal
amount on the panel provided on the Bond stating the amount so redeemed.
1221014.1 4
(c) Termination of Book -Entry Onlv Svstem. Discontinuance of a particular
Depository's services and termination of the book -entry only system may be effected as follows:

no longer able to carry out its functions as securities depository or the continuation of the
system of book -entry transfers through the Depository is not in the best interests of the
City or the Beneficial Owners.
(ii) Upon termination of the services of the Depository as provided in the
preceding paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository is willing to undertake the
functions of the Depository hereunder can be found which, in the opinion of the City, is
willing and able to assume such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the
City determines that it is in the best interests of the City or the Beneficial Owners of the
Bond that the Beneficial Owners be able to obtain certificates for the Bonds, the Bonds
shall no longer be registered as being registered in the bond register in the name of the
Nominee, but may be registered in whatever name or names the Holder of the Bonds shall
designate at that time, in accordance with paragraph 11 hereof (with respect to
registration, transfer and exchange). To the extent that the Beneficial Owners are
designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with paragraph 11 hereof (with
respect to registration, transfer and exchange), the Bonds will be delivered to the
Beneficial Owners.
(iii) Nothing in this subparagraph (c) shall limit or restrict the provisions of
paragraph 11 hereof (with respect to registration, transfer and exchange).
3. Pumose. The Bonds shall provide funds to finance the construction of various
improvement projects in the City (the "Improvements "). The total cost of the Improvements,
which shall include all costs enumerated in Minnesota Statutes, Sectio.a 475.65, is estimated to"

diligence to completion. The City covenants that it shall do all things and perform all acts
required of it to assure that work on the Improvements proceeds with due diligence to completion
and that any and all permits and studies required under law for the Improvements are obtained.

August 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date "), commencing August 1, 2001,

annum set forth opposite the maturity years as follows:
1221014.1 5
Maturity Interest Maturity Interest
Year Rate Year Rate
2002 % 2007 %
2003 2008
2004 2009
2005 2010
2006 2011
5. Optional Redemption. All Bonds maturing in the years 2009 through 2011,
both inclusive, shall be subject to redemption and prepayment at the option of the City on
February 1, 2008, and on any date thereafter at a price of par plus accrued interest. Redemption
may be in whole or in part of the Bonds subject to prepayment. If redemption is in part, the City
shall determine the maturities and principal amounts within each maturity to be prepaid; and if
only part of the Bonds having a common maturity date are called for prepayment, the specific
Bonds to be prepaid shall be chosen by lot by the Bond Registrar. Bonds or portions thereof
called for redemption shall be due and payable on the redemption date, and interest thereon shall
cease to accrue from and after the redemption date. Mailed notice of redemption shall be given
to the paying agent and to each affected registered holder of the Bonds.
6. Procedure for Redemption. To effect a partial redemption of Bonds having a
common maturity date, the Bond Registrar prior to giving notice of redemption shall assign to
each Bond having a common maturity date a distinctive number for each $5,000 of the principal
amount of such Bond. The Bond Registrar shall then select by lot, using such method of
selection as it shall deem proper in its discretion, from the numbers so assigned to such Bonds, as
many numbers as, at $5,000 for each number, shall equal the principal amount of such Bonds to
be redeemed. The Bonds to be redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were assigned numbers so
selected; provided, however, that only so much of the principal amount of each such Bond of a
denomination of more than $5,000 shall be redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number
assigned to it and so selected. If a Bond is to be redeemed only in part, it shall be surrendered to
the Bond Registrar (with, if the City or the Bond Registranio requires, a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the City and the Bond Registrar duly executed by the holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the City shall execute and the Bond
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of such Bond, without service charge, a new
Bond or Bonds of the same series having the same stated maturity and interest rate and of any
authorized denomination or denominations, as requested by such holder, in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so
surrendered.

successor Bond Registrar is duly appointed, all pursuant to any contract the City and Bond
Registrar shall execute which is consistent herewith. The Bond Registrar shall also serve as

payment and record date).

ON REVERSE OF BOND
Redemption. All Bonds of this issue (the 'Bonds ") maturing in the years 2009
through 2011, both inclusive, are subject to redemption and prepayment at the option of the
Issuer on February 1, 2008, and on any date thereafter at a price of par plus accrued interest.
Redemption may be in whole or in part of the Bonds subject to prepayment. If redemption is in
part, the Issuer shall determine the maturities and principal amount within each maturity to be
prepaid; and if only part of the Bonds having a common maturity date are called for prepayment,
the specific Bonds to be prepaid shall be chosen by lot by the Bond Registrar. Bonds or portions
thereof called for redemption shall be due and payable on the redemption date, and interest
thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption date. Mailed notice of redemption
shall be given to the paying agent and to each affected Holder of the Bonds.
Selection of Bonds for Redemption: Partial Redemption. To effect a partial
redemption of Bonds having a common maturity date, the Bond Registrar shall assign to each
Bond having a common maturity date a distinctive number for each $5,000 of the principal
amount of such Bond. The Bond Registrar shall then select by lot, using such method of
selection as it shall deem proper in its discretion, from the numbers assigned to the Bonds, as
many numbers as, at $5,000 for each number, shall equal the principal amount of such Bonds to
be redeemed. The Bonds to be redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were assigned numbers so
selected; provided, however, that only so much of the principal amount of such Bond of a
denomination of more than $5,000 shall be redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number
assigned to it and so selected. If a Bond is to be redeemed only in part, it shall be surrendered to
the Bond Registrar (with, if the Issuer or Bond Registrar so requires, a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and Bond Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof
or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Issuer shall execute (if necessary)
and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Bond, without service
charge, a new Bond or Bonds of the same series having the same stated maturity and interest rate
and of any authorized denomination or denominations, as requested by such Holder, in aggregate
principal araount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the
Bond so surrendered.
Issuance: Pumose: General Obligation. This Bond is one of an issue in the total

endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Bond
Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in
writing.
The Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer or exchange of any Bond and
any legal or unusual costs regarding transfers and lost Bonds.
Transfers shall also be subject to reasonable regulations of the City contained in
any agreement with the Bond Registrar, including regulations which permit the Bond Registrar to

calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date (the "Regular Record Date "). Any
such interest not so timely paid shall cease to be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof
as of the Regular Record Date, and shall be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof at the
close of business on a date (the "Special Record Date ") fixed by the Bond Registrar whenever
money becomes available for payment of the defaulted interest. Notice of the Special Record

15. Delivery: Annlication of Proceeds. The Bonds when so prepared and
executed shall be delivered by the Administrator to the Purchaser upon receipt of the purchase

16. Fund and Accounts. There is hereby created a special fund to be designated
the "General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2000A Fund" (the "Fund ") to be
administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a bookkeeping account separate and
apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City. The Fund shall
be maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have
been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund two (2) separate accounts, to be
designated the "Construction Account" and "Debt Service Account ", respectively.
(i) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the
proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less accrued interest received thereon, and less any amount
paid for the Bonds in excess of $727,650, plus any special assessments levied with respect to the
Improvements and collected prior to completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs
thereof. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all costs and expenses of making the
Improvements listed in paragraph 17, including the cost of any construction contracts heretofore
let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind authorized in Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.65; and the moneys in said account shall be used for no other purpose except as
otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the Bonds may also be used to the
extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the anticipated date of commencement
of the collection of special assessments herein levied or covenanted to be levied; and provided
further that if upon com 'IUion of the Improvements there shall remain any unexpended balance
in the Construction Account, the balance (other than any special assessments) may be transferred
by the Council to the fund of any other improvement instituted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 429, and provided further that any special assessments credited to the Construction
Account shall only be applied towards payment of the costs of the Improvements upon adoption
of a resolution by the City Council determining that the application of the special assessments for
such purpose will not cause the City to no longer be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.61, Subdivision 1.
(ii) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged to,
and there shall be credited to, the Debt Service Account: (a) all collections of special
assessments herein covenanted to be levied with respect to the Improvements and either initially
credited to the Construction Account and not already spent as permitted above and required to
pay any principal and interest due on the Bonds or collected subsequent to the completion of the
1221014.1 18
Improvements and payment of the costs thereof; (b) all accrued interest received upon delivery of
the Bonds; (c) all funds paid for the Bonds in excess of $727,650; (d) all collections of taxes
hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon in the event the sums herein
pledged for the payment of the Bonds are insufficient therefor; (e) all funds remaining in the
Construction Account after completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof,
not so transferred to the account of another improvement; (f) all investment earnings on funds
held in the Debt Service Account; and (g) any and all other moneys which are properly available
and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt
Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for
redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by
the City and made payable from said account as provided by law.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to
acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to
acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such
proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the
above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent (5 %) of the proceeds of the Bonds
or $100,000. To this effect any special assessments against benefitted properties are also pledged
to the Debt Service Account, in excess of amounts which under then - applicable federal arbitrage
regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of
the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after
taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under
the federal arbitrage regulations. Money in the Fund shall not be invested in obligations or
deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or
instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Bonds to be
"federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code ").
17. Assessments. It is hereby determined that no less than one hundred percent
(100 %) of the cost to the City of each Improvement financed hereunder within the meaning of
Minnesota Staiates, ection 475.58, 1(3), shall be paid by special assessments to be
heretofore levied against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land benefitted by any of the
Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all construction contracts
not heretofore let within one (1) year after ordering each Improvement financed hereunder unless
the resolution ordering the Improvement specifies a different time limit for the letting of
construction contracts. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it has done and performed all
acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event
that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of
land due to any error, defect, or irregularity in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by
the City or the City Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the making of the
assessments or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and the City
Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all further proceedings as may be required by
law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. It is hereby determined
that the assessments which remain payable are payable in equal, consecutive installments of
1221014.1 19
principal, with interest on the declining balance, and with interest on the declining balance of all
such assessments at a rate per annum not greater than the maximum permitted by law and not
less than % per annum:

18. Coverage Test. The assessments are such that if collected in full they,
together with all other funds herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least
five percent (5 %) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest
payments on the Bonds.
19. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal
and interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing
powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Debt
Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds and
any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds
of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or
without interest from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein.
20. Certificate of Registration. The Clerk is hereby directed to file a certified
copy of this resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County, Minnesota, together with
such other information as they shall require, and to obtain the County Auditor's Certificate that
the Bonds have been entered in the County Auditor's Bond Register.
21. 'Records and Bonds. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and
directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality of the
issuance of the Bonds, certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City relating to the
Bonds and to the financial condition and affairs of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates
and information as are required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the
Bonds as the same appear from the books and records under their custody and control or as
otherwise known to them, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any
heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein.
1221014.1 20
22. Defeasance. When all Bonds have been discharged as provided in this
all led is anted b this resolution to the registered
paragraph, es covenants and other ri ghts pledges �' Y l�
holders of the Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its
obligations with respect to an Bonds which are due on an date b irrevocably depositing with
g p Y Y Y Y p g
the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if
any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the
Bond Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date
of such deposit. The City may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable
Bonds called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms, by
depositing with the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof
in full provided that notice of redemption thereof has been duly given. The City may also at an
,p p Ybn tY Y Y
time discharge its obligations with respect to an Bonds subject to the provisions of law now or
,
g g P Y J p
hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a
suitable banking institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or
securities described in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 8, bearing interest
payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required, subject to
sale and/or reinvestment, to pay all amounts to become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of
redemption as herein required has been duly provided for, to such earlier redemption date.
23. Negative Covenant as to Use of Proceeds and Improvements. The City
hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to use the Improvements, or to cause or
permit them to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the
Improvements, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the
meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.
24. Tax - Exempt Status of the Bonds: Rebate. The City shall comply with
requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross
income under Section 103 of the Code of the interest on the Bonds, including without limitation
(1) requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, (2) limitations on amounts
invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds, and (3) the rebate of excess investment
earnings to the United States if the Bonds (together with other obligations reasonablytxpect d to
be issued and outstanding at one time in this calendar year) exceed the small- issuer exception
amount of $5,000,000.
For purposes of qualifying for the exception to the federal arbitrage rebate
requirements for governmental units issuing $5,000,000 or less of bonds, the City hereby finds,
determines and declares that (1) the Bonds are issued by a governmental unit with general taxing
powers, (2) no Bond is a private activity bond, (3) ninety -five percent (95 %) or more of the net
proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for local governmental activities of the City (or of a
governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City), and (4)
the aggregate face amount of all tax- exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by
the City (and all subordinate entities thereof, and all entities treated as one issuer with the City)
during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued is not reasonably expected to exceed
$5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code.
1221014.1 21
25. Compliance with Reimbursement Bond Regulations. The provisions of this
paragraph are intended to establish and provide for the City's compliance with United States
Treasury Regulations Section 1.150 -2 (the "Reimbursement Regulations ") applicable to the
"reimbursement proceeds" of the Bonds, being those portions thereof which will be used by the
City to reimburse itself for any expenditure which the City paid or will have paid prior to the
Closing Date (a "Reimbursement Expenditure ").
The City hereby certifies and/or covenants as follows:
(a) Not later than 60 days after the date of payment of a Reimbursement
Expenditure, the City (or person designated to do so on behalf of the City) has made or
will have made a written declaration of the City's official intent (a "Declaration ") which
effectively (i) states the City's reasonable expectation to reimburse itself for the payment
of the Reimbursement Expenditure out of the proceeds of a subsequent borrowing; (ii)
gives a general and functional description of the property, project or program to which the
Declaration relates and for which the Reimbursement Expenditure is paid, or identifies a
specific fund or account of the City and the general functional purpose thereof from
which the Reimbursement Expenditure was to be paid (collectively the "Project "); and
(iii) states the maximum principal amount of debt expected to be issued by the City for
the purpose of financing the Project; provided, however, that no such Declaration shall
necessarily have been made with respect to: (i) "preliminary expenditures" for the Project,
defined in the Reimbursement Regulations to include engineering or architectural,
surveying and soil testing expenses and similar prefatory costs, which in the aggregate do
not exceed 20% of the "issue price" of the Bonds, and (ii) a de minimis amount of
Reimbursement Expenditures not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or 5% of the
proceeds of the Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Declaration
made by the City between January 27, 1992 and June 30, 1993, with respect to a
Reimbursement Expenditure made prior to March 2, 1992, the City hereby represents that
there exists objective evidence, that at the time the Expenditure was paid the City
expected to reimburse the cost thereof with the proceeds of a borrowing (taxable or tax -
exempt) and that expectation was reasonable.
(b) Each Reimbursement Expenditure is a capital expenditure or a cost of
issuance of the Bonds or any of the other types of expenditures described in Section
1.150- 2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
(c) The "reimbursement allocation" described in the Reimbursement Regulations
for each Reimbursement Expenditure shall and will be made forthwith following (but not
prior to) the issuance of the Bonds and in all events within the period ending on the date
which is the later of three years after payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure or one
year after the date on which the Project to which the Reimbursement Expenditure relates
is first placed in service.
1221014.1 22
(d) Each such reimbursement allocation will be made in a writing that evidences
the City's use of Bond proceeds to reimburse the Reimbursement Expenditure and, if
made within 30 days after the Bonds are issued, shall be treated as made on the day the
Bonds are issued.
Provided, however, that the City may take action contrary to any of the foregoing covenants in
this paragraph 25 upon receipt of an opinion of its Bond Counsel for the Bonds stating in effect
that such action will not impair the tax- exempt status of the Bonds.
26. Designation of Oualified Tax - Exempt Obligations: Issuance Limit. In order
to qualify the Bonds as "qualified tax- exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section
265(b)(3) of the Code, the City hereby makes the following factual statements and
representations:
(a) the Bonds are issued after August 7, 1986;
(b) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" as defined in Section 141 of the
Code;
(c) the City hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified tax- exempt obligations" for
purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(d) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax- exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds, treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as not being private activity
bonds) which will be issued by the City (and all entities treated as one issuer with the
City, and all subordinate entities whose obligations are treated as issued by the City)

foregoing extract of minutes with the original thereof on file in my office, and that the same is a
full, true and complete transcript of the minutes of a meeting of the City Council of said City,

OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED NOVEMBER 6, 2000
NEW ISSUE Rating: Requested from Moody's
Investors Service
In the opinion of Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, Bond Counsel, based on present federal and Minnesota laws, regulations, rulings and decisions, at the
time of their issuance and delivery to the original purchaser, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of United States income tax and is
excluded, to the same extent, in computing both gross and taxable net income for purposes of State of Minnesota income tax (other than Minnesota franchise taxes
measured by income and imposed on corporations and financial institutions). Interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative
minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into account for the purpose of determining adjusted current earnings
for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations. No opinion will be expressed by Bond Counsel regarding other state or
federal tax consequences caused by receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds or arising with respect to ownership of the Bonds. (See "Tax Exemption" and "Other
Federal Tax Considerations "herein.)

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA
GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2000A
(BOOK ENTRY ONLY)
INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
This Official Statement contains certain information relating to the City of Brooklyn Center,
Minnesota (the "City" or the "Issuer ") and its issuance of $735,000 General Obligation
Improvement Bonds, Series 2000A (the "Bonds," the "Obligations" or the "Issue "). The Bonds
are general obligations of the City for which the City pledges its full faith and credit and power to
levy direct general ad valorem taxes without limit as to rate or amount.
Inquiries may be directed to Mr. Charles R. Hansen, Finance Director, City of Brooklyn Center,
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430, or by telephoning
(763) 569 -3345. Information may also be obtained from Springsted Incorporated, 85 East
Seventh Place, Suite 100, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 -2887, or by telephoning (651) 223 -3000.
If information of a specific legal matter is desired, requests may be directed to Ms. Mary Dyrseth,
Briggs and Morgan Professional Association, 2200 First National Bank Building, 27 Floor, 322
Minnesota Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101, or by telephoning (651) 223 -6600.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In order to assist the Underwriters in complying with SEC Rule 15c2 -12 (the "Rule "), pursuant to
the Award Resolution and Continuing Disclosure Undertaking to be executed on behalf of the
City on or before closing, the City has and will covenant (the "Undertaking ") for the benefit of
holders or beneficial owners of the Bonds to provide certain financial information and operating
data relating to the City to certain information repositories annually, and to provide notices of the
occurrence of certain events enumerated in the Rule to certain information repositories or the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and to any state information depository. The specific
nature of the Undertaking, as well as the information to be contained in the annual report or the
notices of material events is set forth in the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking in substantially
the form attached hereto as Appendix ll, subject to such modifications thereof or additions
thereto as: (i) consistent with requirements under the Rule, (ii) required by the purchaser of the
Bonds from the City and (iii) acceptable to the Mayor and City Manager of the City. The City has
never failed to comply in all material respects with any previous undertakings under the Rule to
provide annual reports or notices of material events. A failure by the City to comply with the
Undertaking will not constitute an event of default on the Bonds (although holders or other
beneficial owners of the Bonds will have the sole remedy of bringing an action for specific
performance). Nevertheless, such a failure must be reported in accordance with the Rule and
must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending
the purchase or sale of the Bonds in the secondary market. Consequently, such a failure may
adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Bonds and their market price.

THE BONDS
General Description
The Bonds are dated as of December 1, 2000. The Bonds will mature annually on February 1,
as set forth on the cover of this official statement. The Bonds are issued in book entry form.
Interest on the Bonds is payable August 1, 2001 and semi - annually thereafter on February 1
and August 1. Interest will be payable to the holder (initially Cede & Co.) registered on the
books of the registrar (the "Registrar") on the fifteenth day of the calendar month next preceding
such interest payment date. Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid as described in
the Section herein entitled "Book Entry System." Firstar Bank, N.A., St. Paul, Minnesota, will
serve as Registrar for the Bonds and the City will pay for registration services.
Optional Redemption
The City may elect on February 1, 2008, and on any day thereafter, to prepay the Bonds due on
or after February 1, 2009. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of
the City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are
called for redemption, the City will notify DTC of the particular amount of such maturity to be
prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such maturity to
be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in
such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
Book Entry System
The Depository Trust Company ( "DTC "), New York, New York, will act as securities depository
for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully- registered securities registered in the name of
Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC. One fully - registered certificate will be issued for each
maturity of the Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited
with DTC.
DTC is a limited - purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking
organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal
Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ( "Direct
Participants ") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Direct Participants of
securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic
computerized book -entry changes in Direct Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need
for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants ( "Direct Participants ")
include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and
certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the
New York Stock Exchange, Inc.; the American Stock Exchange LLC; and the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others
such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ( "Indirect
Participants "). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,
which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each
actual purchaser of each Bond ( "Beneficial Owner ") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and
-2-
Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC
of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing
details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or
Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers
of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of
Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not
receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that
use of the book -entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are
registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their
registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in
beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds;
DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds
are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect
Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their
customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to
Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or
regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of the Bonds
may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events
with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, defaults, and proposed amendments to the
security documents. Beneficial Owners of the Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee
holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial
Owners, or in the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses
to the Registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are
being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct
Participant in such maturity to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to
the Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Registrar as soon
as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or
voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the
record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co. or such other
nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to
credit Direct Participants' accounts on the payable date in accordance with their respective
holdings shown on DTC's records, unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive
payment on the payable date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed
by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the
accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the
responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC (nor its nominee), the Registrar, or the City,
subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by
an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Registrar, disbursement of such
payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments
to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Bonds purchased or redeemed, through
its Direct Participant, to the nominee holding the Bonds, and shall effect delivery of such Bonds
-3-
by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Direct Participant's interest in the Bonds, on
DTC's records, to the nominee holding the Bonds. The requirement for physical delivery of the
Bonds in connection with a purchase or redemption will be deemed satisfied when the
ownership rights in the Bonds are transferred by the Direct Participants on DTC's records and
followed by a book -entry credit of purchased or redeemed Bonds to the nominee holding the
Bonds.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at
any time by giving reasonable notice to the Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event
that a successor securities depository is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and
delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC (or a
successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book -entry system has been
obtained from sources that the City believes to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for
the accuracy thereof.
AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 429 and 475. Proceeds
will be used to finance various improvement projects within the City. The composition of the
Bonds is as follows:
Project Costs to be Financed $713,405
Plus: Costs of Issuance 14,245
Allowance for Discount Bidding 7.350
Total $735,000
SECURITY AND FINANCING
The Bonds are general obligations of the City for which the City pledges its full faith and credit
and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition, the City pledges special
assessments against benefited property for repayment of the Bonds. Special assessments
totaling approximately $735,000 of principal are expected to be filed on or before November 30,
2000 for first collection in 2001. All assessments will be spread over a term of ten years with
equal annual payments of principal, and interest charged on the unpaid balance at a rate of 7 %.
If collected in full, special assessments will be sufficient to pay 105% of the August 1 interest
payment due in the year of collection. Each subsequent February 1 payment of principal and
interest will be made from second -half assessment collections, together with surplus first -half
collections. An ad valorem tax levy is not expected to be necessary.
-4-
FUTURE FINANCING
The City has no additional borrowing plans for at least the next 90 days.
LITIGATION
The City is not aware of any threatened or pending litigation affecting the validity of the Bonds or
the City's ability to meet its financial obligations.
LEGALITY
The Bonds are subject to approval as to certain matters by Briggs and Morgan, Professional
Association, of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, as Bond Counsel. Bond Counsel has
not participated in the preparation of this Official Statement and will not pass upon its accuracy,
completeness, or sufficiency. Bond Counsel has not examined nor attempted to examine or
verify, any of the financial or statistical statements, or data contained in this Official Statement
and will express no opinion with respect thereto. A legal opinion in substantially the form set out
as Appendix I to this Official Statement, will be delivered at closing.
TAX EXEMPTION
At closing Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, Bond Counsel, will render an opinion
that, at the time of their issuance and delivery to the original purchaser, under present federal
and State of Minnesota laws, regulations, rulings and decisions (which excludes any pending
legislation which may have a retroactive effect), the interest on each Bond is excluded from
gross income for purposes of United States income tax and is excluded, to the same extent, in
computing both gross income and taxable net income for purposes of State of Minnesota
income tax (other than Minnesota franchise taxes measured by income and imposed on
corporations and financial institutions), and that interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax
preference for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on
individuals and corporations or the Minnesota alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals,
estates or trusts; provided that interest on the Bonds is subject to federal income taxation to the
extent it is included as part of adjusted current earnings for purposes of computing the
alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. No opinion will be expressed by Bond
Counsel regarding other federal or state tax consequences caused by the receipt or accrual of
interest on the Bonds or arising with respect to ownership of the Bonds. Preservation of the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from federal gross income and state gross and taxable net
income, however, depends upon compliance by the City with all requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code ") that must be satisfied subsequent to the
issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be (or continue to be) excluded from federal
gross income and state gross and taxable net income.
The City will covenant to comply with requirements necessary under the Code to establish and
maintain the Bonds as tax - exempt under Section 103 thereof, including without limitation,
requirements relating to temporary periods for investments and limitations on amounts invested
at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds.
-5-
OTHER FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Property and Casualty Insurance Companies
Property and casualty insurance companies are required to reduce the amount of tax - exempt
interest received or accrued during the taxable year on certain obligations required after
August 7, 1986, including interest on the Bonds.
I
Foreign Insurance Companies
Foreign companies carrying on an insurance business in the United States are subject to a tax
on income which is effectively connected with their conduct of any trade or business in the
United States, including "net investment income." Net investment income includes tax - exempt
interest such as interest on the Bonds.
Branch Profits Tax
A foreign corporation is subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of the "dividend equivalent
amount" for the taxable year. The "dividend equivalent amount" is the foreign corporation's
"effectively connected earnings and profits" adjusted for increase or decrease in "U.S. net
equity." A branch's earnings and profits may include tax - exempt municipal bond interest, such
as interest on the Bonds.
Passive Investment Income of S Corporations
Passive investment income, including interest on the Bonds, may be subject to federal income
taxation under Section 1375 of the Code for an S corporation that has Subchapter C earnings
and profits at the close of the taxable year if more than 25% of the gross receipts of such S
corporation is passive investment income.
Financial Institutions
For federal income tax purposes, financial institutions are unable to deduct any portion of the
interest expense allocable to the ownership of certain tax - exempt obligations acquired after
August 7, 1986, including the Bonds.
General
The preceding is not a comprehensive list of all federal tax consequences which may arise from
the receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds. The receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds
may otherwise affect the federal income tax (or Minnesota income tax or franchise tax) liability of
the recipient based on the particular taxes to which the recipient is subject and the particular tax
status of other items of income or deductions. All prospective purchasers of the Bonds are
advised to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of, or tax considerations
for, purchasing or holding the Bonds.
-6-
BANK - QUALIFIED TAX- EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS
The City will designate the Bonds as "bank- qualified tax - exempt obligations for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to the ability of
financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes, interest expense
that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax - exempt obligations. "Qualified tax - exempt
obligations" are treated as acquired by a financial institution before August 8, 1986. Interest
allocable to such obligations remains subject to the 20% disallowance under prior law.
RATING
An application for a rating of the Bonds has been made to Moody's Investors Service
( "Moody's "), 99 Church Street, New York, New York. If a rating is assigned, it will reflect only
the opinion of Moody's. Any explanation of the significance of the rating may be obtained only
from Moody's.
There is no assurance that a rating, if assigned, will continue for any given period of time, or that
such a rating will not be revised or withdrawn, if in the judgment of Moody's, circumstances so
warrant. A revision or withdrawal of the rating may have an adverse effect on the market price
of the Bonds.
FINANCIAL ADVISOR
The City has retained Springsted Incorporated, Advisors to the Public Sector, of St. Paul,
Minnesota, as financial advisor (the "Financial Advisor ") in connection with the issuance of the
Bonds. In preparing the Official Statement, the Financial Advisor has relied upon governmental
officials, and other sources, who have access to relevant data to provide accurate information
for the Official Statement, and the Financial Advisor has not been engaged, nor has it
undertaken, to independently verify the accuracy of such information. The Financial Advisor is
not a public accounting firm and has not been engaged by the City to compile, review, examine
or audit any information in the Official Statement in accordance with accounting standards. The
Financial Advisor is an independent advisory firm and is not engaged in the business of
underwriting, trading or distributing municipal securities or other public securities and therefore
will not participate in the underwriting of the Bonds.
CERTIFICATION
The City has authorized the distribution of this Official Statement for use in connection with the
initial sale of the Bonds.
As of the date of the settlement of the Bonds, the Purchaser will be furnished with a certificate
signed by the appropriate officers of the City. The certificate will state that as of the date of the
Official Statement, the Official Statement did not and does not as of the date of the certificate
contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

CITY INVESTMENTS
The City's investment policy, last revised on March 24, 1997, has the objectives of preserving
safety of principal, retaining sufficient liquidity, providing a market rate of return, and yielding a
stable return on all invested City funds.
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 118A, authorize and define an investment program for municipal
governments. The City shall invest in the following instruments allowed by Minnesota Statutes:
a. Securities that are the direct obligations or are guaranteed or insured issues of the
United States, its agencies, its instrumentalities, or organizations created by an act of
Congress; including governmental bills, notes, bonds, and other securities.
b. Commercial paper issued by U.S. corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries that is
rated in the highest quality by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies and
matures in 270 days or less.
C. Time deposits that are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
bankers acceptances of U.S. banks.
d. Repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements may be entered into with
financial institutions identified by Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 118A.
e. Securities lending agreements may be entered into with financial institutions identified by
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 118A.
f. Minnesota joint powers investment trusts may be entered into with trusts identified by
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 118A
g. Money market mutual funds regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and
whose portfolios consist only of short-term securities permitted by Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 118A.
-14-
h. Bonds of the City of Brooklyn Center issued in prior years, may be redeemed at current
market price, which may include a premium, prior to maturity using surplus funds of the
debt service fund set up for that issue. Such repurchased bonds shall be canceled and
removed from the obligation of the fund.
Derivative securities, which obtain their value by the calculation of some portion of the value of
another security, shall not be purchased. Mortgage- backed securities, even if insured by a
Federal Agency, and stripped securities also shall not be purchased, pursuant to the policy.
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner which seeks to insure the preservation
of capital in the overall portfolio. Safety of principal is the foremost objective. Liquidity and yield
are also important considerations. It is essential that the investment portfolio remain sufficiently
liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated.
The investment portfolio of the City shall be designed to attain a market - average rate of return
during budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk constraints
and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of least importance compared to the objectives for
safety and liquidity. Securities shall be held to maturity with the exceptions of meeting the
liquidity needs of the portfolio and minimizing loss of principal for a security of declining credit.
Securities of various maturities shall be purchased so that at least half of the investment portfolio
will remain for two or more years with known interest rates.
Authority to manage the investment program is vested in the City Manager, City Treasurer, and
Assistant City Treasurer, with the City Treasurer responsible for establishing and maintaining an
internal control structure to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the policy are
met.
As of September 30, 2000 the City had $26,575,000 (par value) invested, with a market value of
$26,213,533 (98.6% of the original cost to the City). U.S. Treasury notes represented 32.4% of
the City's portfolio with $8,600,000 invested. Government agency securities totaled
$11,025,000, representing 41.5% of the portfolio. The balance ($6,950,000), representing
26.1 % of the portfolio, is in certificates of deposit and commercial paper. Seventy six percent of
the City's portfolio matures within three years or less; 90.50% matures within five years or less;
and none of the securities held by the City have a maturity later than 2009.
GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CITY
The City of Brooklyn Center is a northern suburb of the Minneapolis /Saint Paul metropolitan
area, lying adjacent to the City of Minneapolis. The City is wholly within Hennepin County and
encompasses an area of approximately 8.5 square miles. The Mississippi River forms the City's
eastern boundary.
The City experienced its most rapid growth from 1950 to 1970 when the City's population grew
from 4,300 to its peak of 35,173. The 1990 U.S. Census count for the City is 28,887, a 7.5%
decline from the 1980 Census. The 1999 population, as estimated by the Metropolitan Council,
is 28,910. In contrast to the decline in population (which is due almost entirely to fewer persons
per household), the number of housing units has generally continued to increase from 10,493 in
1970 to 11,035 in 1980 and 11,370 in 1990. The number dropped slightly in 1996 to 11,133
housing units. This was due to the removal of some units by the City in accordance with a pre -
planned redevelopment effort. In 1998, the number increased to 11,295. (1999 household
figures not yet available.)
-15-
Major transportation routes in and through the City, including Interstate highways 94 and 694,
and State Highways 100 and 252, have provided a continued impetus for development of a
strong commercial tax base in the City.
Growth and Development
Commercial and industrial property comprises 51.5% of the City's taxable net tax capacity.
There are four major shopping centers located in the City in addition to a large number of retail
establishments including Kohl's Department Store, Cub Foods and Rainbow Foods. The largest
commercial property in the City is Brookdale Mall, a 1,000,000 square -foot regional shopping
center anchored by Dayton's, Sears, Penney's, and Mervyns of California. Plans for remodeling
the Brookdale Mall have been finalized. The Applebee's restaurant has been relocated to a new
building on the perimeter of the mall to make way for demolition of part of the mall. Construction
is expected to begin in the spring of 2001.
The other three retail shopping centers include Brookdale Square, a 125,000 square -foot strip
mall center plus an 8- screen theater; Shingle Creek Center, a 157,000 square -foot building
anchored by Target; and Brookview Plaza, a 70,000 square -foot center anchored by Best Buy.
New construction in 2000 includes the Motel 6 for $3,100,000; free - standing retail buildings
adjacent to Cub Foods for $2,150,000; Applebee's restaurant for $635,000; and Park Dental for
$903,000. Several remodeling projects in 2000 include Medtronics for $1,775,000; US West for
$850,000; Hoffman Engineering for $458,000; several tenant improvements at Brookdale for
$1,080,000; and Super America for $285,000. Hennepin County is expanding and remodeling
its service center with the initial landscapes and foundation work costing $800,000. Regal
Theater with 20 screens opened in August 2000 after beginning construction in 1999.
The convergence of highways in Brooklyn Center make it an attractive site for hotels and
motels. Establishments now operating here or under construction include: Americlnn, Baymont
Inn, Comfort Inn, County Inn & Suites, Extended Stay America Hotel, Hilton Hotel, Holiday Inn,
and Super 8 Motel.

GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS,
SERIES 2000A
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
HENNEPIN COUNTY
MINNESOTA
We have acted as bond counsel in connection with the issuance by the
City of Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County, Minnesota (the "Issuer "), of its $735,000
General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2000A, bearing a date of original issue of
December 1, 2000 (the "Bonds "). We have examined the law and such certified
proceedings and other documents as we deem necessary to render this opinion.
We have not been engaged or undertaken to review the accuracy,
completeness or sufficiency of the Official Statement or other offering material relating
to the Bonds, and we express no opinion relating thereto.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the
certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us without
undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation.
Based upon such examinations, and assuming the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to
us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents, and
the accuracy of the statements of fact contained in such documents, and based upon present
Minnesota and federal laws (which excludes any pending legislation which may have a
retroactive effect on or before the date hereof), regulations, rulings and decisions, it is our
opinion that:
(1) The proceedings show lawful authority for the issuance of the Bonds according to
their terms under the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota now in force.
1 -1
(2) The Bonds are valid and binding general obligations of the Issuer and all of the
taxable property within the Issuer's jurisdiction is subject to the levy of an ad valorem tax to pay
the same without limitation as to rate or amount; provided that the enforceability (but not the
validity) of the Bonds and the pledge of taxes for the payment of the principal and interest
thereon is subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of
equity, to the constitutional powers of the United States of America and to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
heretofore or hereafter enacted.
(3) At the time of the issuance and delivery of the Bonds to the original purchaser, the
interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for United States income tax purposes and
is excluded, to the same extent, from both gross income and taxable net income for State of
Minnesota income tax purposes (other than Minnesota franchise taxes measured by income and
imposed on corporations and financial institutions), and is not an item of tax preference for
purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations or the
Minnesota alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, estates or trusts; it should be noted,
however, that for the purpose of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on
corporations, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings. The
opinions set forth in the preceding sentence are subject to the condition that the Issuer comply
with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied
subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be,
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and from both gross income and
taxable net income for State of Minnesota income tax purposes. Failure to comply with certain
of such requirements may cause the inclusion of interest on the Bonds in gross income and
taxable net income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds.

We express no opinion regarding other state or federal tax consequences caused by the
receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds or arising with respect to ownership of the Bonds.

APPENDIX III
SUMMARY OF TAX LEVIES, PAYMENT PROVISIONS, AND
MINNESOTA REAL PROPERTY VALUATION
Following is a summary of certain statutory provisions effective through 2000 relative to tax levy
procedures, tax payment and credit procedures, and the mechanics of real property valuation.
The summary does not purport to be inclusive of all such provisions or of the specific provisions
discussed, and is qualified by reference to the complete text of applicable statutes, rules and
regulations of the State of Minnesota.
Property Valuations (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes)
Assessor's Estimated Market Value. Each parcel of real property subject to taxation must, by
statute, be appraised at least once every four years as of January 2 of the year of appraisal.
With certain exceptions, all property is valued at its market value which is the value the
assessor determines to be the price the property to be fairly worth, and which is referred to as
the "Estimated Market Value."
Limitation of Market Value Increases.. Effective through assessment year 2001, the amount of
increase in market value for all property classified as agricultural homestead or non - homestead,
residential homestead or non - homestead, or non - commercial seasonable recreational
residential, which is entered by the assessor in the current assessment year, may not exceed
the greater of (i) 10% of the preceding year's market value or (ii) 1/4 of the difference between
the current assessment and the preceding assessment.
Indicated Market Value. Because the Estimated Market Value as determined by an assessor
may not represent the price of real property in the marketplace, the "Indicated Market Value" is
generally regarded as more representative of full value. The Indicated Market Value is
determined by dividing the Estimated Market Value of a given year by the same year's sales
ratio determined by the State Department of Revenue. The sales ratio represents the overall
relationship between the Estimated Market Value of property within the taxing unit and actual
selling price.
Net Tax Capacity. The Net Tax Capacity is the value upon which net taxes are levied,
extended and collected. The Net Tax Capacity is computed by applying the class rate
percentages specific to each type of property classification against the Estimated Market Value.
Class rate percentages vary depending on the type of property as shown on the last page of
this Appendix. The formulas and class rates for converting Estimated Market Value to Net Tax
Capacity represent a basic element of the State's property tax relief system and are subject to
annual revisions by the State Legislature.
Property taxes are determined by multiplying the Net Tax Capacity by the tax capacity rate,
expressed as a percentage.
Property Tax Payments and Delinquencies
(Chapters 275, 276, 277, 279 -282 and 549, Minnesota Statutes)
Ad valorem property taxes levied by local governments in Minnesota are extended and
collected by the various counties within the State. Each taxing jurisdiction is required to certify
the annual tax levy to the county auditor within five (5) working days after December 20 of the
year preceding the collection year. A listing of property taxes due is prepared by the county
auditor and turned over to the county treasurer on or before the first business day in March.
III -1
The county treasurer is responsible for collecting all property taxes within the county. Real
estate and personal property tax statements are mailed out by March 31. One -half (1/2) of the
taxes on real property is due on or before May 15. The remainder is due on or before
October 15. Real property taxes not paid by their due date are assessed a penalty which,
depending on the type of property, increases from 2% to 4% on the day after the due date. In
the case of the first installment of real property taxes due May 15, the penalty increases to 4%
or 8% on June 1. Thereafter, an additional 1% penalty shall accrue each month through
October 1 of the collection year for unpaid real property taxes. In the case of the second
installment of real property taxes due October 15, the penalty increases to 6% or 8% on
November 1 and increases again to 8% or 12% on December 1. Personal property taxes
remaining unpaid on May 16 are deemed to be delinquent and a penalty of 8% attaches to the
unpaid tax. However, personal property owned by a tax - exempt entity, but which is treated as
taxable by virtue of a lease agreement, is subject to the same delinquent property tax penalties
as real property.
On the first business day of January of the year following collection all delinquencies are
subject to an additional 2% penalty, and those delinquencies outstanding as of February 15 are
filed for a tax lien judgment with the district court. By March 20 the clerk of court files a
publication of legal action and a mailing of notice of action to delinquent parties. Those
property interests not responding to this notice have judgment entered for the amount of the
delinquency and associated penalties. The amount of the judgment is subject to a variable
interest determined annually by the Department of Revenue, and equal to the adjusted prime
rate charged by banks, but in no event is the rate less than 10% or more than 14 %.
Property owners subject to a tax lien judgment generally have five years (5) in the case of all
property located outside of cities or in the case of residential homestead, agricultural
homestead and seasonal residential recreational property located within cities or three (3) years
with respect to other types of property to redeem the property. After expiration of the
redemption period, unredeemed properties are declared tax forfeit with title held in trust by the
State of Minnesota for the respective taxing districts. The county auditor, or equivalent thereof,
then sells those properties not claimed for a public purpose at auction. The net proceeds of the
sale are first dedicated to the satisfaction of outstanding special assessments on the parcel,
with any remaining balance in most cases being divided on the following basis: county - 40 %;
town or city - 20 %; and school district - 40 %.
Property Tax Credits (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes)
In addition to adjusting the taxable value for various property types, primary elements of
Minnesota's property tax relief system are: property tax levy reduction aids; the circuit breaker
credit, which relates property taxes to income and provides relief on a sliding income scale; and
targeted tax relief, which is aimed primarily at easing the effect of significant tax increases. The
circuit breaker credit and targeted credits are reimbursed to the taxpayer upon application by
the taxpayer. Property tax levy reduction aid includes educational aids, local governmental aid,
equalization aid, homestead and agricultural credit aid (HACA) and disparity reduction aid.
Levy Limitations for Counties and Cities (M.S. 275.70 to 275.74)
(Laws 1999, Chapter 243, Article 6)
Levy limitations are in effect for taxes levied in 1999 for all counties and cities with populations
exceeding 2,500. Levy increases for cities are limited to its adjusted levy limit base from 1999
plus any increase due to growth in population. Counties are limited in their levy increases to
the difference between their adjusted levy limit from 1999 plus any increase due to growth in
population and one -half of the county's share of the net cost to the state for assumption of
district court costs. The 2000 Legislature allowed the levy limit law to sunset for taxes payable
in 2001.
111 -2
Certain property tax levies are authorized outside of the new overall levy limitation ( "special
levies "). Special levies include debt service levies for bonded indebtedness, excluding
installment payments on conditional sales contracts, debt service on state -aid road bonds,
payments on contracts for deed, any levies to pay debt service on tax increment revenue
bonds, and lease payments under certificates of participation. In order to receive approval for
any special levy claims outside of the overall levy limitation, requests for such special levies
must be submitted to the Property Tax Division of the Department of Revenue on or before
September 15th in the year in which the levy is to be made for collection in the following year.
The Department of Revenue has the authority to approve, reduce or deny a special levy
request. Final adjustments to all levies must be made by the Department of Revenue on or
before December 10th.
Debt Limitations
All Minnesota municipalities (counties, cities, towns and school districts) are subject to statutory
"net debt" limitations under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.53. Net debt is
defined as the amount remaining after deducting from gross debt the amount of current
revenues which are applicable within the current fiscal year to the payment of any debt and the
aggregate of the principal of the following:
1. Obligations issued for improvements which are payable wholly or partially from the
proceeds of special assessments levied upon benefited property.
2. Warrants or orders having no definite or fixed maturity.
3. Obligations payable wholly from the income from revenue producing conveniences.
4. Obligations issued to create or maintain a permanent improvement revolving fund.
5. Obligations issued for the acquisition and betterment of public waterworks systems,
and public lighting, heating or power systems, and any combination thereof, or for any
other public convenience from which revenue is or may be derived.
6. Certain debt service loans and capital loans made to school districts.
7. Certain obligations to repay loans.
8. Obligations specifically excluded under the provisions of law authorizing their
issuance.
9. Certain obligations to pay pension fund liabilities.
10. Debt service funds for the payment of principal and interest on obligations other than
those described above.
Levies for General Obligation Debt
(Sections 475.61 and 475.74, Minnesota Statutes)
Any municipality which issues general obligation debt must, at the time of issuance, certify
levies to the county auditor of the county(ies) within which the municipality is situated. Such
levies shall be in an amount that if collected in full will, together with estimates of other
revenues pledged for payment of the obligations, produce at least five percent in excess of the
amount needed to pay principal and interest when due. Notwithstanding any other limitations
upon the ability of a taxing unit to levy taxes, its ability to levy taxes for a deficiency in prior
levies for payment of general obligation indebtedness is without limitation as to rate or amount.

Metropolitan Revenue Distribution (Chapter 473F, Minnesota Statutes)
"Fiscal Disparities Law"
The Charles R. Weaver Metropolitan Revenue Distribution Act, more commonly known as
"Fiscal Disparities," was first implemented for taxes payable in 1975. Forty percent of the
increase in commercial - industrial (including public utility and railroad) net tax capacity valuation
since 1971 in each assessment district in the Minneapolis /St. Paul seven - county metropolitan
area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, excluding the City of Northfield, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott,
excluding the City of New Prague, and Washington Counties) is contributed to an area -wide tax
base. A distribution index, based on the factors of population and real property market value
per capita, is employed in determining what proportion of the net tax capacity value in the area -
wide tax base shall be distributed back to each assessment district.
Iron Range Fiscal Disparities
In 1996 Minnesota Legislature established a commercial- industrial tax base sharing program for
the Iron Range that is modeled after the Twin Cities metropolitan area program commonly
known as "fiscal disparities."
Under the Iron Range Fiscal Disparities ( "IRFD ") program, 40% of the growth in each
municipality's commercial - industrial tax base after 1995 is contributed to an area wide pool.
The tax base pool is distributed back to municipalities on the basis of property wealth per
capita; i.e., municipalities with lower property wealth receive greater distributions. For the
purposes of the IRFD program, commercial - industrial property includes public utility property,
but does not include commercial, seasonal, recreational property. All local taxing jurisdictions in
the area, including counties, cities, towns (including unorganized towns), school districts, and
special taxing districts, participate in the IRFD program.
The IRFD program is identical to the Twin Cities metropolitan area program except for the
provisions summarized below:
1. The geographical area involved is the taconite tax relief area. This includes all of Cook
County and Lake County, most of Itasca County and St. Louis County (the City of Duluth
and surrounding area is not included), portions of Aitkin County and Crow Wing County,
and a very small portion of Koochiching County.
2. The base year is 1995, so that 40% of the growth in commercial - industrial tax base after
1995 will be shared. The first tax year to be affected will be 1997/98.
3. Municipalities are not required to share commercial - industrial growth in tax increment
financing (TIF) districts created before May 1, 1996.
4. Municipalities that consciously exclude commercial - industrial development are excluded
from participation. This will be determined by a joint effort of the Department of
Revenue (MnDOR) and the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board (IRRRB).
A lower court has declared the Iron Range Fiscal Disparities Law unconstitutional. This ruling is
in the process of being appealed.
