PREPARED BY: Teah Malecha, Finance Director AGENDA NO. 6.j.
ATTACHMENTS: Resolution APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve a resolution to reimburse prior capital
expenditures from bond proceeds
BACKGROUND
The City has been planning and designing the new Police Department and Public Works Campus and is
nearing the construction phase of the project. The funding for this project will come from the issuance of
tax-exempt bonds. The bond issuance is currently planned for this summer.
The City will incur project costs prior to the issuance of the bonds. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
has issued Treasury Regulations to allow for reimbursement of prior capital expenditures. It is generally
required that the city declare its intent to reimburse itself for such expenditures out of proceeds of a
subsequent issue of bonds within 60 days after the payment of expenditures. To comply with the IRS
Regulations, the City is officially declaring the intent to reimburse capital expenditures incurred prior to
issuance through the attached resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approving the attached Resolution Declaring the Official Intent to Reimburse Certain
Capital Expenditures from the Proceeds of Tax-Exempt Bonds and Establishing Compliance with
Reimbursement Bond Regulations under the Internal Revenue Code.

Resolution Declaring the Official Intent to Reimburse Certain Capital Expenditures From
the Proceeds of Tax-Exempt Bonds and Establishing Compliance With Reimbursement
Bond Regulations Under the Internal Revenue Code
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treasury Regulations, Section 1.150-2 (the
“Reimbursement Regulations”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to reimburse prior capital expenditures will not
be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rosemount, Minnesota, municipal corporation and a political subdivision
of the State of Minnesota (the “City”), expects to incur certain expenditures that may be financed
temporarily from sources other than tax-exempt bonds, and later reimbursed from the proceeds of
tax-exempt bonds; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make a declaration of its official intent (the “Declaration”)
to reimburse certain capital costs from the proceeds derived from the sale of tax-exempt bonds
issued by the City or another political subdivision in accordance with the Reimbursement
Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rosemount,
Minnesota, as follows:
1. The City may incur certain capital expenditures in connection with construction of a new
public works and public safety facility in the City (collectively, the “Project”).
2. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for certain costs of the
Project from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds in a principal amount currently estimated not to
exceed $20,000,000. All reimbursed expenditures related to the Project will be capital expenditures,
costs of issuance of the tax-exempt bonds or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under
Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of any original
expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the proceeds of tax-exempt
bonds, except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of tax-exempt bonds; (b) costs in
an amount not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or 5% of the proceeds of the tax-exempt bonds;
or (c) “preliminary expenditures” up to an amount not in excess of 20% of the aggregate issue price
of the tax-exempt bonds that are reasonably expected by the City to finance the Project. The term
“preliminary expenditures” includes architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, bond issuance
and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction, or
rehabilitation of the Project, excluding land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incident to
commencement of construction.
4. A reimbursement allocation with respect to tax-exempt bonds will be made not later than 18
months after the later of: (i) the date the original expenditure is paid; or (ii) the date the Project is
placed in service or abandoned, but in no event more than 3 years after the original expenditure.

5. This Declaration is an expression of the reasonable expectations of the City based on the
facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The anticipated original
expenditures for the Project and the principal amount of the tax-exempt bonds described in
paragraph 2 are consistent with the City’s budgetary and financial circumstances. No sources other
than proceeds of tax-exempt bonds are reasonably expected to be reserved, allocated on a long-term
basis, or otherwise set aside pursuant to the City’s budget or financial policies to pay such
expenditures for which bonds are issued.
6. The action is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for purposes of the
Reimbursement Regulations.
ADOPTED this 7th day of February, 2023.
