(b) Boolc Entrv Onl� sy tem. The Depository Trust Company, a limited purpose
trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York or any of its successors or its

(i) The Bonds shall be initially issued and, so long as they remain in book
entry fonn only (the "Boolc Entry Only Period"), shall at all times be in the form of a
2
�os6n i�l
separate single fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds; and for purposes of
complying with this requirement under paragraphs 5 and 10 Authorized Denominations
for any Bond shall be deemed to be limited during the Book Entry Only Period to the
outstanding principal amount of that Bond.
(ii) Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a bond
register maintained by the Bond Registrar(as hereinafter defined) in the name of CEDE

have any responsibility or obligation to any brolcer, dealer,banlc, or any other financial
institution for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (the
"Participant") or the person for which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds shown
on the boolcs and records of the Participant(the "Beneficial Owner"). Without limiting

rights to certain Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date
identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.

be the absolute owner of the Bonds for the purpose of payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of
redemption and other matters with respect to the Bonds, for the purpose of obtaining any
consent or other action to be talcen by Holders for the purpose of registering transfers
with respect to such Bonds, and for all purpose whatsoever. The Bond Registrar, as
paying agent hereunder, shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds only to the Holder or the Holders of the Bonds as shown on the bond register, and
all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's
obligations with respect to the principal of and preinium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(v) Upon delivery by the Depository to the Bond Registrar of written notice to
the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new Nominee in place of the
existing Nominee, and subject to the transfer provisions in paragraph 10 hereof,
references to the Nominee hereunder shall refer to such new Nominee.

notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, by the Bond
Registrar or City, as the case may be,to the Depository as provided in the Letter of
Representations to the Depository required by the Depository as a condition to its acting
as book-entry Depository for the Bonds (said Letter of Representations, together with any
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
Bonds, collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Letter of Representations").
(vii) All transfers of beneficial ownership interests in each Bond issued in
book-entry form shall be limited in principal amount to Authorized Denominations and
shall be effected by procedures by the Depository with the Participants for recording and
transferring the ownership of beneficial interests in such Bonds.
(viii) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to
the Holders pursuant to this Resolution by the City or Bond Registrar with respect to any
consent or 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 Bond Registrar may establish a
special record date for such consent or other action. The City or the Bond 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 Bond Registrar in its written acceptance of its duties under
this Resolution and any paying agency/bond 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, malce a notation of the reduction in principal amount on the panel provided on the
Bond stating the amount so redeemed.
(c) Termination of Book-Entry Onl�System. Discontinuance of a particular
Depository's services and termination of the book-entry only system may be effected as follows:
(i) The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its services with
respect to the Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the City and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. The City may terminate the
services of the Depository with respect to the Bond if it determines that the Depository is
no longer able to carry out its functions as securities depository or the continuation of the
system of boolc-entry transfers through the Depository is not in the best interests of the
City or the Beneficial Owners.

7036711v1
(ii) Upon termination of the services of the Depository as provided in the
preceding paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository is willing to undertalce 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 10 hereof. To the extent that
the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with
paragraph 10 hereof,the Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.
(iii) Nothing in this subparagraph(c) shall limit or restrict the provisions of
paragraph 10 hereof.

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.

the Debt Service Account: (i) all collections of special assessments herein covenanted to be

hereby further covenants and agrees that it will do and perform, as soon as they may be done, all
acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in the

assessments or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto,the City and this 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.

and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the
Bonds are outstanding and unpaid,provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce
the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61,

US$6.0 mil GO imp bnds ser 2015A dtd 05/27/2015 due 02/O1/2031
Long Term Rating AA+/Stable New
Cottage Grove GO
Long Term Rating AA+/Stable Affirmed
Rationale
Standard&Poor's Ratings Services assigned its'AA+'long-term rating to Cottage Grove, Minn.'s series 2015A general
obligation (GO) improvement bonds.At the same time, Standard& Poor's affirmed its'AA+'long-term rating on the
city's existing GO debt.The outlook is stable.
The series 2015A GO improvement bonds are secured by the city's unlimited tax ad valorem GO pledge. Proceeds
from the bonds will be used to fund street improvement projects in the city.
The rating reflects our assessment of the following factors:
• Strong economy,with access to a broad and diverse metropolitan statistical area(MSA);
• Very strong management,with"strong"financial policies;
• Strong budgetary performance,with an operating surplus in the general fund and a slight operating surplus at the
total governmental fund level;
• Very strong budgetary flexibility,with an available fund balance in fiscal 2014 of 67%of operating expenditures;
• Very strong liquidity,with total government available cash at 1.7x total governmental fund expenditures and 12.7x
governmental debt service, as well as access to external liquidity we consider strong;
• Adequate debt and contingent liability position,with debt service carrying charges at 13.5%of expenditures and net
direct debt that is 91.5%of total governmental fund revenue with rapid amortization-- 75.3%of debt is scheduled to
be retired in 10 years; and
• Strong institutional framework score.
Strong economy
We consider Cottage Grove's economy strong.The city,with an estimated population of 35,400, is located in
Washington County in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, Metropolitan Statistical Area,which we consider to be
broad and diverse.The city has a projected per capita effective buying income of 112%of the U.S.level and per capita
market value of$83,096. Overall, the city's market value grew by 3.8%over the past year to$2.9 billion in 2015.The
county unemployment rate was 4.5%in 2013.

Summctry: Cottctge Grove, Minnesotct; Generctl Obligcttion
Major employers in the city include the local school district(2,232 employees), 3M (775 employees), and Renewal by
Andersen(450 employees). Officials report that Renewal by Andersen is undergoing an expansion that will lead to the
hiring of 200 additional employees. Management further indicates that it expects moderate residential growth next
year.
Very strong management
We view the city's management as very strong,with"strong"financial policies and practices under our Financial
Management Assessment methodology, indicating financial practices are strong,well embedded, and likely
sustainable.
The city updates a formal five-year capital improvement plan annually and uses this document for planning and
budgeting purposes. Management maintains a comprehensive long-term financial management plan.In addition to the
reserve policy of distributing the annual general fund surplus, the council also mandates that at least 55%of
expenditures be retained for cash purposes in the general fund balance.
Strong budgetary performance
Cottage Grove's budgetary performance is strong in our opinion,with surplus operating results in the general fund of
2.0%of expenditures and a slight surplus results across all governmental funds of 1.4%in fiscal 2014.
The city partly attributes the surplus in fiscal 2014 to increased revenues from building permits and development fees.
Expenditures in fiscal 2014 were on target in the general fund. For fiscal 2015, the city projects a break-even result in
the general fund.
Very strong budgetary flexibility
Cottage Grove's budgetary flexibility is very strong,in our view,with an available fund balance in fiscal 2014 of 67%of
operating expenditures, or$9.5 million.We expect the available fund balance will remain above 30%of expenditures
for the current and next fiscal years,which we view as a positive credit factor.
Very strong liquidity
In our opinion, Cottage Grove's liquidity is very strong,with total government available cash of 1.7x total
governmental fund expenditures and 12.7x governmental debt service in 2014. In our view,the city has strong access
to external liquidity if necessary.
Adequate debt and contingent liability profile
In our view, Cottage Grove's debt and contingent liability profile is adequate.Total governmental fund debt service is
13.5%of total governmental fund expenditures, and net direct debt is 91.5%of total governmental fund revenue.
Approximately 75.3%of the direct debt is scheduled to be repaid within 10 years,which is in our view a positive credit
factor.
Cottage Grove's combined pension and other postemployment benefits(OPEB) contributions totaled 4.0%of total
governmental fund expenditures in 2013.The city made 100%of its annual required pension contribution in 2013.The
city expects to issue an additional $4 million and$6 million in debt in 2017 for pavement management projects.

Strong institutional framework
The institutional framework score for Minnesota cities with a population greater than 2,500 is strong. See the
institutional framework score for Minnesota for local governments in Minnesota.
Outlook
We do not expect to change the rating within the two-year outlook horizon because we expect that Cottage Grove will
maintain its very strong budgetary flexibility and liquidity supported by very strong management conditions.However,
the rating could be lowered should reserves materially worsen, or if its debt and contingent liability profile were to
deteriorate.A higher rating is precluded at this time largely due to the city's debt and contingent liability profile and
the city's underlying economic characteristics.Participation in the Minneapolis-St.Paul economy provides further
support to the rating.
