BONDS $25 MILLION IN DEBT AFFECTED Brooklyn Center (City of) MN Municipality Minnesota Moody's Rating Issue Rating General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2000A Al Sale Amount $735,000 Expected Sale Date 11/20/00 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.

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.

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: Improvement Levy Collection Designation Amount Years Years Garden City Central Streets /Storm $669,287 2000 -2009 2001 -2020 73r Avenue Humboldt/Camden Street 51,451 2000 -2009 2001 -2011 Palmer Lake Circle Streets /Storm 14,262 2000 -2009 2001 -2011 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.

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.

The City shall use its best efforts to comply with any federal procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designation made by this paragraph. 27. Continuing Disclosure. (a) The City is the sole obligated person with respect to the Bonds. The City hereby agrees, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15c2 -12 (the "Rule "), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission ") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the "Undertaking ") hereinafter described to: 1221014.1 23 (1) Provide or cause to be provided, in a timely manner, to (i) each nationally recognized municipal securities information repository ( "NRMSIR ") or to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ( "MSRB ") and (ii) the state information depository (the "SID"), if any, notice of the occurrence of certain material events with respect to the Bonds in accordance with the Undertaking.

(b) The Mayor and Manager of the City, or any other officer of the City authorized to act in their place, (the "Officers ") are hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the City the Undertaking in substantially the form presented to the Council, subject to such modifications thereof or additions thereto as are (i) consistent with the requirements under the Rule, (ii) required by the purchaser of the Bonds and (iii) acceptable to the Officers. 28.

WITNESS my hand this day of , 2000. Clerk 1221014.1 26 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.

Dated October 23, 2000 BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL /s/ Sharon Knutson Clerk i - iv - OFFICIAL STATEMENT $735,000 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. - 1 - 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. -7- CITY PROPERTY VALUES 1999 Indicated Market Value of Taxable Property: $1,270,123,587 * Calculated by dividing the county assessor's estimated market value of $1,168,513,700 by the 1999 sales ratio of 92.0% for the City as determined by the State Department of Revenue. 1999 Taxable Net Tax Capacity: $20,387,444 1999 Net Tax Capacity $21,416,992 Less: Captured Tax Increment Tax Capacity (2,533,878) Contribution to Fiscal Disparities (2,410,244) Plus: Distribution from Fiscal Disparities 3.914.574 1999 Taxable Net Tax Capacity $20,387,444 1999 Taxable Net Tax Capacity by Type of Property Residential Homestead $ 7,915,199 38.82% Commercial /Industrial, Public Utility and Personal Property* 10,407,402 51.05 Residential Non - Homestead 2,061,663 10.11 Other 3,180 0.02 Total $20,387,444 100.00% * Reflects adjustments for fiscal disparities and captured tax increment tax capacity.

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.

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. 1 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.

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. III -3 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.
