Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, upon initial issuance of the Certificates, the ownership of the Certificates shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The definitive Certificates shall be initially issued in the form of a single separate certificate for each of the maturities thereof. With respect to Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the Certificates. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Certificates, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than an Owner of a Certificate, as shown on the Register, of any notice with respect to the Certificates, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than an Owner of a Certificate, as shown in the Register, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Certificates.

The Registrar shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates only to or upon the order of the respective Owners, as shown in the Register as provided in this Ordinance, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an Owner as shown in the Register, shall receive a certificate for a Certificate evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of amounts due pursuant to this Ordinance. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the word "Cede & Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. In the event that the City or the Registrar determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the letter of representation of the City to DTC and that it is in the best interest of the beneficial Owners of the Certificates that they be able to obtain certificated -9- A.8.a Certificates, or if DTC Participants owning at least 50% of the Certificates outstanding based on current records of the DTC determine that continuation of the system of book -entry transfers through the DTC (or a successor securities depository) is not in the best interest of such beneficial Owners of the Certificates, or in the event DTC discontinues the services described herein, the City or the Registrar shall (i) appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and notify DTC of the appointment of such successor securities depository and transfer one or more separate Certificates to such successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC of the availability through DTC of Certificates and transfer one or more separate Certificates to DTC Participants having Certificates credited to their DTC accounts. In such event, the Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its nominee, or in whatever name or names Owners transferring or exchanging Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Certificates are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates, and all notices with respect thereto, shall be made and given in the manner provided in the Letter of Representation. 14. Mutilated, Lost, or Stolen Certificates. Upon the presentation and surrender to the Registrar of a mutilated Certificate, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a replacement Certificate of like maturity, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

The City or the Registrar may require the Owner of a mutilated Certificate to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith and any other associated expenses, including the fees and expenses of the Registrar. The City or the Registrar may require the Owner of a lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Certificate, before any replacement Certificate is issued, to: (1) furnish to the City and the Registrar satisfactory evidence of the ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such Certificate; (2) furnish such security or indemnity as may be required by the Registrar and the City to save them harmless; (3) pay all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Registrar and any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed; and (4) meet any other reasonable requirements of the City and the Registrar. -10- A.8.a If, after the delivery of such replacement Certificate, a bona fide purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such replacement Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Certificate, the City and the Registrar shall be entitled to recover such replacement Certificate from the person to whom it was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the City or the Registrar in connection therewith. If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Certificate has become or is about to become due and payable, the City in its discretion may, instead of issuing a replacement Certificate, authorize the Registrar to pay such Certificate. Each replacement Certificate delivered in accordance with this Section 14 shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this Ordinance to the same extent as the Certificate or Certificates in lieu of which such replacement Certificate is delivered. 15. Cancellation of Certificates. All Certificates paid in accordance with this Ordinance, and all Certificates in lieu of which exchange Certificates or replacement Certificates are authenticated and delivered in accordance herewith, shall be cancelled and destroyed upon the making of proper records regarding such payment.

If less than all of the Certificates are to be redeemed, the City shall determine the Certificates, or portions thereof, to be redeemed. The Certificates maturing in the year (the "Term Certificates") are also subject to mandatory redemption prior to scheduled maturity, in the amount, on the date, and on the terms set out in the form of Certificates in this Ordinance, at a price of par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Certificates may be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000. If a Certificate subject to redemption is in a denomination larger that $5,000, a portion of such Certificate may be redeemed, but only in integral multiples of $5,000. Upon surrender of any Certificate for redemption in part, the Registrar, in accordance with Section 13 hereof, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a Certificate or Certificates of like maturity and interest rate in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Certificate so surrendered. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to a redemption date for the Certificates, the City shall cause a notice of redemption to be sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to each Owner of each Certificate to be redeemed in whole or in part, at the address of the Owner appearing -11- A.8.a on the Register at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the date of the mailing of such notice. Such notice shall state the redemption date, the redemption price, the place at which Certificates are to be surrendered for payment and, if less than all the Certificates are to be redeemed, the numbers of the Certificates or portions thereof to be redeemed. Any notice of redemption so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Owner receives such notice. By the date fixed for redemption, due provision shall be made with the Registrar for payment of the redemption price of the Certificates or portions thereof to be redeemed. When Certificates have been called for redemption in whole or in part and due provision made to redeem the same as herein provided, the Certificates or portions thereof so redeemed shall no longer be regarded as outstanding except for the purpose of being paid solely from the funds so provided for redemption, and the rights of the Owners to collect interest which would otherwise accrue after the redemption date on any Certificate or portion thereof called for redemption shall terminate on the date fixed for redemption. (b) The City may defease the provisions of this Ordinance and discharge its obligation to the Owners of any or all of the Certificates to pay principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, thereon in any manner permitted by law, including by depositing with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or if authorized by Texas law, with any national or state bank having trust powers and having combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million, or with the State Treasurer of the State of Texas either: (a) cash in an amount equal to the principal amount and redemption premium, if any, of such Series 2011 Certificates plus interest thereon to the date of maturity or redemption; or (b) pursuant to an escrow or trust agreement, cash and/or direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are guaranteed by or secured by the pledge of direct obligations of the United States of America, in principal amounts and maturities and bearing interest at rates sufficient to provide for the timely payment of the principal amount and redemption premium, if any, of such Certificates plus interest thereon to the date of maturity or redemption; provided, however, that if any of such Series 2011 Certificates are to be redeemed prior to their respective dates of maturity, provision shall have been made for giving notice of redemption as provided in this Ordinance. Upon such deposit, such Certificates shall no longer be regarded to be Outstanding or unpaid. Any surplus amounts not required to accomplish such defeasance shall be returned to the City. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the principal and/or interest due on the Certificates shall be paid by Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Policy, the Certificates shall remain outstanding for all purposes, not be defeased or otherwise satisfied and not be considered paid by the City, and the assignment and limited pledge of the Net Revenues and all covenants, agreements and obligations of the City to the registered owners shall continue to exist and shall run to the benefit of Insurer, and Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of such registered owners. 17.

Tax Exemption. (a) The City intends that the interest on the Certificates shall be excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code, and applicable regulations. The City covenants and agrees not to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on the Certificates to be includable in gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the holders thereof for purposes of federal income taxation. In particular, the City covenants and agrees to comply with each requirement of this Section 22; provided, however, that the City shall not be required to comply with any particular requirement of this Section 22 if the City has received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel (a "Counsel's Opinion") that such noncompliance will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Certificates or if the City has received a Counsel's Opinion to the effect that compliance with some other requirement set forth in this Section 22 will satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code, in which case compliance with such other requirement specified in such Counsel's Opinion shall constitute compliance with the corresponding requirement specified in this Section 22. (b) The City covenants and agrees that its use of Net Proceeds (as defined below) of the Certificates will at all times satisfy the following requirements: (i) The City will use all of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates for the cost of construction of authorized street, drainage, building, park, and other capital improvements, equipment purchases and the cost of issuance of the Certificates. The City has limited and will limit with respect to the Certificates the amount of original or investment proceeds thereof to be used (other than use as a member of the general public) in the trade or business of any person other than a governmental unit to an amount aggregating no more than 10% of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates ("private -use proceeds"). For purposes of this Section, the term "person" includes any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association, or any other entity capable of carrying on a trade or business; and the term "trade or business" means, with respect to any natural person, any activity regularly carried on for profit and, with respect to persons other than natural persons, any activity other than an activity carried on by a governmental unit. Any use of proceeds of the Certificates in any manner contrary to the guidelines set forth in Revenue Procedure 93-19, including any revisions or amendments thereto, shall constitute the use of such proceeds in the trade or business of one who is not a governmental unit; (ii) The City has not permitted and will not permit more than 5% of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates to be used in the trade or business of any person other than a governmental unit if such use is unrelated to the governmental purpose of the Certificates. Further, the amount of private -use proceeds of the Certificates in excess of 5% of the Net Proceeds thereof ("excess private -use proceeds") did not and will not exceed the proceeds of the Certificates expended for the governmental purpose of the Certificates to which such excess private -use proceeds relate; -20- A.8.a (iii) Principal of and interest on the Certificates shall be paid solely from ad valorem tax receipts collected by the City and from the Net Revenues of the System to the extent pledged hereunder. Further, no person using more than 10% of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates in a trade or business, other than a governmental unit, has made or shall make payments (other than as a member of the general public), directly or indirectly, accounting for more than 10% of such receipts; (iv) The City has not permitted and will not permit with respect to the Certificates an amount of proceeds thereof exceeding the lesser of (a) $5,000,000 or (b) 5% of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates to be used, directly or indirectly, to finance loans to persons other than a governmental unit; and (v) The City will use $ of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates to pay the costs of issuance of the Certificates, including the cost of the Certificates Insurance Policy in the amount of $ When used in this Section, the term "Net Proceeds" of the Certificates shall mean the proceeds from the sale thereof to the Underwriter, including investment earnings on such proceeds, less accrued interest with respect to such issue. (c) The City covenants and agrees not to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the Certificates to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder, except as permitted by Section 149(b)(3) of the Code and such regulations or as permitted by laws hereinafter enacted. (d) The City shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent, that based upon all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Certificates are delivered, the City will reasonably expect that the proceeds of the Certificates will not be used in a manner that would cause the Certificates to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder. Moreover, the City covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Certificates, including interest or other investment income derived from the proceeds of the Certificates, regulate investments of such proceeds and amounts, and take such other and further action as may be required so that the Certificates will not be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder. (e) The City will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that certain amounts earned by the City on the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Certificates (within the meaning of Section 148(f)(6)(B) of the Code), be rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the City will (i) maintain records regarding the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates as may be required to calculate the amount earned on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the City allocable to other bond issues of the City or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any bonds of the City, (ii) calculate at such times as are required by applicable regulations, the amount earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates which is required to be rebated -21- A.8.a to the federal government, and (iii) pay, not less often than every 5th anniversary date of the delivery of the Certificates, and within sixty (60) days after retirement of the Certificates, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. Further, the City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the Certificates that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or larger loss than would have resulted if the arrangement had been at arm's length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either party. (f) The City covenants and agrees to file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, not later than the 15th day of the second calendar month after the close of the calendar quarter in which the Certificates are issued, an information statement concerning the Certificates, all under and in accordance with Section 149(e) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder. (g) The City covenants that any dispositions of personal property components of the Project funded by the Certificates will occur in the ordinary course of an established governmental program and will satisfy the following requirements: i. The weighted average maturity of the portion of the Certificates financing personal property is not greater than 120 percent of the reasonably expected actual use of such personal property for governmental purposes; ii. The reasonably expected fair market value of such personal property on the date of disposition will be not greater than 25 percent of its cost; iii. Such personal property will no longer be suitable for its governmental purposes on the date of disposition; and iv. The City is required to deposit amounts received from such disposition in a commingled fund with substantial tax or other governmental revenues and the Issuer reasonably expect to spend such amounts on governmental programs within 6 months from the date of commingling. (h) The City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement results in smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if such arrangement had been at arm's length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either party. 0) The City will not issue or use the Bonds as part of an "abusive arbitrage device" (as defined in Section 1.148-10(a) of the Regulations). Without limiting the foregoing, the Bonds are not and will not be a part of a transaction or series of transactions that attempts to circumvent the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, by (i) enabling the City to exploit -22- A.8.a the difference between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial advantage, or (ii) increasing the burden on the market for tax-exempt obligations. 23. Application of Proceeds. Proceeds from the sale of the Certificates shall, promptly upon receipt by the City, be applied as follows: (a) Accrued interest received from the sale of the Certificates shall be deposited into the Series 2011 Certificates of Obligation Interest and Sinking Fund; (b) The sum of $ will be used to pay the premium for the Certificates Insurance Policy; (c) The sum of $ shall be used to pay costs of issuance of the Certificates, with any amount left over to be transferred to the 2011 Certificates of Obligation Construction Fund; and (d) The remaining proceeds from the sale of the Certificates, together with investment earnings thereof, shall be deposited into the Series 2011 Certificates of Obligation Construction Fund and shall be used for the purposes set out in Section 3 of this Ordinance, with any remainder to be deposited into the Series 2011 Certificates of Obligation Interest and Sinking Fund. 24. Open Meeting. The meeting at which this Ordinance was adopted was open to the public, and public notice of the time, place and purpose of said meeting, was given, all as required by Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code Annotated, Vernon's 1994, as amended, and such notice as given is hereby authorized, approved, adopted and ratified. 25. Re ice. The form of agreement setting forth the duties of the Registrar is hereby approved, and the appropriate officials of the City are hereby authorized to execute such agreement for and on behalf of the City. 26. Official Statement.

Special Election for Uncertificated Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, upon initial issuance of the Bonds, the ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, and except as otherwise provided in this Section, all of the outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The definitive Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a single separate certificate for each of the maturities thereof. With respect to Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than an Owner of a Bond, as shown on the Register, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than an Owner of a Bond, as shown in the Register, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds.

No person other than an Owner as shown in the Register, shall receive a Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of amounts due pursuant to this Ordinance. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the word "Cede & Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. In the event that the City or the Registrar determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the Letter of Representations of the City to DTC, and that it is in the best interest of the beneficial Owners of the Bonds that they be able to obtain certificated Bonds, or if DTC Participants owning at least 50% of the Bonds outstanding based on current records of the DTC determine that continuation of the system of book -entry transfers through the DTC (or a successor securities depository) is not in the best interest of the beneficial Owners of the 10 A.8.b Bonds, or in the event DTC discontinues the services described herein, the City or the Registrar shall (i) appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such under Section 17(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and notify DTC of the appointment of such successor securities depository and transfer one or more separate Bonds to such successor securities depository or (ii) notify DTC of the availability through DTC of Bonds and transfer one or more separate Bonds to DTC Participants having Bonds credited to their DTC accounts. In such event, the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in the name of the successor securities depository, or its nominee, or in whatever name or names Bondholders transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, and all notices with respect to the Bonds, shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Letter of Representations from the City to DTC. 16.

The City intends that the interest on the Bonds shall be excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") and all applicable temporary, proposed and final regulations (the "Regulations") and procedures promulgated thereunder and applicable to the Bonds. For this purpose, the City covenants that it will monitor and control the receipt, investment, expenditure and use of all gross proceeds of the Bonds and take or omit to take such other and further actions as may be required by Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code and the Regulations to cause the interest on the Bonds to be and remain excludable from the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the owners of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. In particular, the City covenants and agrees to comply with each requirement of this Section 21; provided, however, that the City shall not be required to comply with any particular requirement of this Section 21 if the City has received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel (a "Counsel's Opinion") that such noncompliance will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds or if the City has received a Counsel's Opinion to the effect that compliance with some other requirement set forth in this Section 21 will satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code, in which case compliance with such other requirement specified in such Counsel's Opinion shall constitute compliance with the corresponding requirement specified in this Section 21. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City shall comply with each of the following covenants: (a) The City will use all of the proceeds of the Bonds to (i) acquire non - callable obligations of the United States of America (the "Escrowed Securities") or to deposit cash sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Obligations and (ii) to pay the costs of issuing the Bonds except for amounts, if any, described in the Report (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) as the rounding amount and the ending cash balance in the Escrow Fund (as defined in the Escrow Agreement). (b) The City will not directly or indirectly take any action or omit to take any action, which action or omission would cause the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations to constitute "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code. -16- A.8.b (c) Principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid solely from ad valorem taxes collected by the City, investment earnings on such collections, and as available, proceeds of the Bonds. (d) Based upon all facts and estimates now known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Bonds are delivered, the City reasonably expects that the proceeds of the Bonds and the Refunded Obligations (to the extent any of such proceeds remain unexpended) will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations or any portion thereof to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. (e) At all times while the Bonds are outstanding, the City will identify and properly account for all amounts constituting gross proceeds of the Bonds in accordance with the Regulations. The City will monitor the yield on the investments of the proceeds of the Bonds and, to the extent required by the Code and the Regulations, will restrict the yield on such investments to a yield which is not materially higher than the yield on the Bonds. To the extent necessary to prevent the Bonds from constituting "arbitrage bonds," the City will make such payments as are necessary to cause the yield on all yield -restricted nonpurpose investments allocable to the Bonds to be less than the yield that is materially higher than the yield on the Bonds. (f) The City will not take any action or knowingly omit to take any action, if taken or omitted, would cause the Bonds to be treated as "federally guaranteed" obligations for purposes of Section 149(b) of the Code. (g) The City represents that not more than fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds of any new money portion of the Bonds or any new money issue refunded by, the Refunded Obligations was invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined in Section 148(f)(b)(A) of the Code) having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more within the meaning of Section 149(g)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the City reasonably expected at the time each issue of the Refunded Obligations was issued that at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the spendable proceeds of the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations would be used to carry out the governmental purpose of such Bonds within the corresponding three-year period beginning on the respective dates of the Bonds or the Refunded Obligations. (h) The City will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that certain amounts earned by the City on the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds, if any, be rebated to the federal government. Specifically, the City will (i) maintain records regarding the receipt, investment and expenditure of the gross proceeds of the Bonds as may be required to calculate such excess arbitrage profits separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the City allocable to other obligations of the City or moneys which do not represent gross proceeds of any obligations of the City and retain such records for at least six years after the day on which the last outstanding Bond is discharged, (ii) account for all gross proceeds under a reasonable, consistently applied method of accounting, not employed as an artifice or device to avoid, in whole or in part, the requirements of Section 148 of the Code, including any specified method of accounting required by applicable Regulations to be used for all or a portion of the gross proceeds, (iii) calculate, at such times as are required by applicable -17- ::. Regulations, the amount of excess arbitrage profits, if any, earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds and (iv) timely pay, as required by applicable Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. In addition, the City will exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations required by the preceding sentence and, if such an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter, including payment to the federal government of any delinquent amounts owed to it, including interest thereon and penalty. (i) The City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of the Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement results in smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if such arrangement had been at arm's length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either party. 0) The City will timely file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code with respect to the Bonds on such form and in such place as the Secretary may prescribe. (k) The City will not issue or use the Bonds as part of an "abusive arbitrage device" (as defined in Section 1.148-10(a) of the Regulations). Without limiting the foregoing, the Bonds are not and will not be a part of a transaction or series of transactions that attempts to circumvent the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, by (i) enabling the City to exploit the difference between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial advantage, or (ii) increasing the burden on the market for tax-exempt obligations. (1) Proper officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds are hereby directed to make, execute and deliver certifications as to facts, estimates or circumstances in existence as of the Issue Date and stating whether there are facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change the City's expectations. On or after the Issue Date, the City will take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to assure the continuous accuracy of the representations contained in such certificates. (m) The covenants and representations made or required by this Section are for the benefit of the Bond holders and any subsequent Bond holder, and may be relied upon by the Bondholder and any subsequent Bondholder and bond counsel to the City. (n) In complying with the foregoing covenants, the City may rely upon an unqualified opinion issued to the City by nationally recognized bond counsel that any action by the City or reliance upon any interpretation of the Code or Regulations contained in such opinion will not cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law. (o) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, the City's -18- A.8.b representations and obligations under the covenants and provisions of this Section shall survive the defeasance and discharge of the Bonds for as long as such matters are relevant to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners for federal income tax purposes. (p) The City covenants that dispositions of personal property components of the Project funded by the Refunded Bonds will occur in the ordinary course of an established governmental program and will satisfy the following requirements: i. The weighted average maturity of the portion of the Certificates financing personal property is not greater than 120 percent of the reasonably expected actual use of such personal property for governmental purposes; ii. The reasonably expected fair market value of such personal property on the date of disposition will be not greater than 25 percent of its cost; iii. Such personal property will no longer be suitable for its governmental purposes on the date of disposition; and iv. The City is required to deposit amounts received from such disposition in a commingled fund with substantial tax or other governmental revenues and the Issuer reasonably expect to spend such amounts on governmental programs within 6 months from the date of commingling. 22. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds in the amount of $ , shall, promptly upon receipt by the City, be applied as follows: (a) Accrued interest shall be deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund for the Bonds; (b) To establish the escrow fund to refund and pay the Refunded Obligations, $ from the sale of the Bonds shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to and in compliance with Sections 24 and 25 below. (c) $ from the sale of the Bonds shall be used to pay the costs of issuing the Bonds, including the premium of $ for the Municipal Bond Guaranty Insurance Policy, not later than 90 days after such issuance; and (d) The sum of $ from the sale of the Bonds shall be used as a rounding amount and shall be deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund for the Bonds; and (e) Any proceeds from the Bonds remaining after making all such deposits and payments shall be deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund. 23.

H. Payment Procedure Under the Policy. 1. At least two (2) Business Days prior to each payment date on the Obligations, the Registrar, will determine whether there will be sufficient funds to pay all principal of and interest on the Obligations due on the related payment date and shall immediately notify the Insurer or its designee on the same Business Day by telephone or electronic mail, confirmed in writing by registered or certified mail, of the amount of any deficiency. Such notice shall specify the amount of the anticipated deficiency, the Obligations to which such deficiency is applicable and whether such Obligations will be deficient as to principal or interest or -30- A.8.b both. If the deficiency is made up in whole or in part prior to or on the payment date, the Registrar shall so notify the Insurer or its designee. 2. The Registrar, shall after giving notice to the Insurer as provided above, make available to the Insurer and, at the Insurer's direction, to any Fiscal Agent, the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Registrar and all records relating to the funds maintained under this Ordinance or any financing document executed by the Issuer in connection herewith. The Registrar shall provide the Insurer and any Fiscal Agent with a list of registered owners of Obligations entitled to receive principal or interest payments from the Insurer under the terms of the Policy, and shall make arrangements with the Insurer, the Fiscal Agent or another designee of the Insurer to (i) mail checks or drafts to the registered owners of Obligations entitled to receive full or partial interest payments from the Insurer and (ii) pay principal upon Obligations surrendered to the Insurer, the Fiscal Agent or another designee of the Insurer by the registered owners of Obligations entitled to receive full or partial principal payments from the Insurer. 4. The Registrar, shall, at the time it provides notice to the Insurer of any deficiency pursuant to clause 1. above, notify registered owners of 4� Obligations entitled to receive the payment of principal or interest thereon from the Insurer (i) as to such deficiency and its entitlement to receive principal or interest, as applicable, (ii) that the Insurer will remit to them all or a part of the interest payments due on the related payment date upon proof of its entitlement thereto and delivery to the Insurer or any Fiscal Agent, in form satisfactory to the Insurer, of an appropriate assignment of the registered owner's right to payment, (iii) that, if they are entitled to receive partial payment of principal from the Insurer, they must surrender the related Obligations for payment first to the Registrar, which will note on such Obligations the portion of the principal paid by the Registrar and second to the Insurer or its designee, together with the an appropriate assignment, in form satisfactory to the Insurer, to permit ownership of such Obligations to be registered in the name of the Insurer, which will then pay the unpaid portion of principal, and (iv) that, if they are entitled to receive full payment of principal from the Insurer, they must surrender the related Obligations for payment to the Insurer or its designee, rather than the Registrar, together with the an appropriate assignment, in form satisfactory to the Insurer, to permit ownership of such Obligations to be registered in the name of the Insurer. In addition, if the Registrar has notice that any holder of the Obligations has been required to disgorge payments of principal or interest on the Obligations previously Due for Payment pursuant to a final non - appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction that such payment -31- A.8.b constitutes an avoidable preference to such holder within the meaning of any applicable bankruptcy laws, then the Registrar shall notify the Insurer or its designee of such fact by telephone or electronic notice, confirmed in writing by registered or certified mail. The Registrar will be hereby irrevocably designated, appointed, directed and authorized to act as attorney-in-fact for holders of the Obligations as follows: a. If and to the extent there is a deficiency in amounts required to pay interest on the Obligations, the Registrar shall (a) execute and deliver to the Insurer, in form satisfactory to the Insurer, an instrument appointing the Insurer as agent for such holders in any legal proceeding related to the payment of such interest and an assignment to the Insurer of the claims for interest to which such deficiency relates and which are paid by the Insurer, (b) receive as designee of the respective holders (and not as Registrar) in accordance with the tenor of the Policy payment from the Insurer with respect to the claims for interest so assigned, and (c) disburse the same to such respective holders; and b. If and to the extent of a deficiency in amounts required to pay principal of the Obligations, the Registrar shall (a) execute and deliver to the Insurer, in form satisfactory to the Insurer, an instrument appointing the Insurer as agent for such holder in any legal proceeding related to the payment of such principal and an assignment to the Insurer of the Obligation surrendered to the Insurer in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof as has not previously been paid or for which moneys are not held by the Registrar and available for such payment (but such assignment shall be delivered only if payment from the Insurer is received), (b) receive as designee of the respective holders (and not as Registrar) in accordance with the tenor of the Policy payment therefore from the Insurer, and (c) disburse the same to such holders. 7. Payments with respect to claims for interest on and principal of Obligations disbursed by the Registrar from proceeds of the Policy shall not be considered to discharge the obligation of the Issuer with respect to such Obligations, and such Obligations shall remain outstanding for all purposes, shall not be defeased or otherwise satisfied and shall not be considered paid by the Issuer, and the Insurer shall become the owner of such unpaid Obligation and claims for the interest in accordance with the tenor of the assignment made to it under the provisions of this subsection or otherwise; and the assignment and pledge of the trust estate and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Issuer to the registered owners shall continue to exist and shall run to the benefit of the Insurer, -32- A.8.b and the Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of such registered owners including, without limitation, any rights that such owners may have in respect of securities law violations arising from the offer and sale of the Obligations. Irrespective of whether any such assignment is executed and delivered, the Issuer and the Registrar hereby agree for the benefit of the Insurer that: a. they recognize that to the extent the Insurer makes payments directly or indirectly (e.g., by paying through the Registrar), on account of principal of or interest on the Obligations, the Insurer will be subrogated to the rights of such holders to receive the amount of such principal and interest from the Issuer, with interest thereon as provided and solely from the sources stated in the financing documents and the Obligations; and b. they will accordingly pay to the Insurer the amount of such principal and interest, with interest thereon as provided in the financing documents and the Obligations, but only from the sources and in the manner provided herein for the payment of principal of and interest on the Obligations to holders, and will otherwise treat the Insurer as the owner of such rights to the amount of such principal and interest. 9. The Insurer shall be entitled to pay principal or interest on the Obligations that shall become Due for Payment but shall be unpaid by reason of Nonpayment by the Issuer (as such terms are defined in the Policy) and any amounts due on the Obligations as a result of acceleration of the maturity thereof in accordance with this agreement, whether or not the Insurer has received a Notice (as defined in the Policy) of Nonpayment or a claim upon the Policy. 10. In addition, the Insurer shall to the extent it makes any payment of principal or interest on the Obligations become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments in accordance with the terms of the Policy, and to evidence such subrogation (i) in the case of claims for interest, the Registrar shall note the Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Registrar, upon receipt of proof of payment of interest thereon to the registered holders of the Obligations, and (ii) in the case of claims for principal, the Registrar, if any, shall not the Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Registrar, upon surrender of the Obligations together with receipt of proof of payment of principal thereof. 11. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay or reimburse the Insurer, to the extent permitted by law and subject to annual appropriation by the Issuer, (A) for all amounts paid by the Insurer under the terms of the Policy, and (B) any -33- A.8.b and all charges, fees, costs and expenses which the Insurer may reasonably pay or incur, including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, consultants and auditors and reasonable costs of investigations, in connection with (i) any accounts established to facilitate payments under the Policy, (ii) the administration, enforcement, defense or preservation of any rights in respect of the trust agreement or any other financing document including defending, monitoring or participating in any litigation or proceeding (including any bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Issuer or any affiliate thereof) relating to this agreement or any other Financing Document, any party to this agreement or any other Financing Document or the transaction contemplated by the Financing Documents, (iii) the foreclosure against, sale or other disposition of any collateral securing any obligations under this agreement or any other Financing Document, or the pursuit of any remedies under this agreement or any other Financing Document, to the extent such costs and expenses are not recovered from such foreclosure, sale or other disposition, or (iv) any amendment, waiver or other action with respect to, or related to, this agreement or any other Financing Document whether or not executed or completed; costs and expenses shall include a reasonable allocation of compensation and overhead attributable to time of employees of the Insurer spent in connection with the actions described in clauses (ii) - (iv) above. In addition, the Insurer reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee as a condition to executing any amendment, waiver or consent proposed in respect of this agreement or any other Financing Document. 12. In addition to any and all rights of reimbursement, subrogation and any other rights pursuant hereto or under law or in equity, the Issuer agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to pay or reimburse the Insurer any and all charges, fees, costs, claims, losses, liabilities (including penalties), judgments, demands, damages, and expenses which the Insurer or its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Insurer within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may reasonably pay or incur, including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, consultants and auditors and reasonable costs of investigations, of any nature in connection with, in respect of or relating to the transactions contemplated by this agreement or any other financing document by reason of: a. any omission or action (other than of or by the Insurer) in connection with the offering, issuance, sale, remarketing or delivery of the Obligations; b. the negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, misfeasance, malfeasance or theft committed by any director, officer, employee -34- A.8.b or agent of the Issuer in connection with any transaction arising from or relating to this agreement or any other financing document; C. the violation by the Issuer of any law, rule or regulation, or any judgment, order or decree applicable to it; d. the breach by the Issuer of any representation, warranty or covenant under this agreement or any other financing document or the occurrence, in respect of the Issuer, under this agreement or any other financing document of any "event of default" or any event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute any "event of default"; or e. any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any official statement, if any, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission in information included in an official statement, if any, and furnished by the Insurer in writing expressly for use therein.

RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends approval. BACKGROUND A maximum of $36 Million in Certificates of Obligation will be issued in December 2010 to fund public works and general improvement projects that have been previously approved by Council and are listed in the 2011 Capital Program.

BACKGROUND Kevin Herrington for Altus Beaumont Realty, LP has requested a zone change. Altus Healthcare Management Services has plans to expand its existing facility at 390 N. 11`h Altus will be adding a new cancer center. The two lots will be used for building and parking expansion. The Historic District regulations, Sec. 30-21.2 require that off-street parking be set back along street frontages not less than the required yard setbacks or as far back as the front of immediately adjacent buildings, whichever is greater. The house to the east appears to be approximately 30 feet from the front property line. Therefore, the parking lot would have to be setback at least 30 feet. Mr. Herrington says that setback would require the loss of approximately six parking spaces. At the meeting of November 8, 2010, the Historic Landmark Commission approved the moving of the house at 2678 Liberty and the removal of the two lots out of the Oaks Historic District. At a Joint Public Hearing held November 15, 2010, the Planning Commission voted 6:0 to approve a zone change from GC-MD/HC (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling/Historic -Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay) District to GC -MD (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling) District for property at 2678 Liberty and the lot immediately west of 2678 Liberty.

BACKGROUND The City of Beaumont Planning Division has requested a zone change. In 1989, the City of Beaumont Planning Division performed a zoning study for a portion of the Old Town area. The proposed zoning followed lot lines. The subject property, which consists of the West 23 1/2' of Lot 2 and the East 261/2' of Lot 3, Block 1, Palm Place Addition, was divided by GC -MD and RCR zoning. The zoning boundaries basically cut the building on the property in half. Cliff Huebel owns and operates East Texas Counseling Services, LLC at 2611 Laurel. When the zoning issue was brought to the City's attention, staff initiated the zone change request. At a Joint Public Hearing held November 15, 2010, the Planning Commission voted 6:0 to approve a zone change from RCR-H/HC (Residential Conservation and Revitalization- H/Historic-Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay) District to GC-MD/HC (General Commercial -Multiple Family Dwelling/Historic-Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay) District for the property at 2611 Laurel.

RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval of a specific use permit to allow a law office in an RCR-H/HC (Residential Conservation and Revitalization-H/Historic-Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay) District at 1792 Broadway subject to the following conditions: • The applicant shall provide a parking lot with 16 parking spaces plus 1 ADA parking space for a total of 17 spaces. • The parking lot shall be paved with a pervious parking surface material capable of accommodating vehicles up to five thousand (5,000) pounds of gross vehicle weight and that allow the growth of lawn. • Ingress/egress to the parking lot shall be off of the alley at the rear of the property. • Two foot tall shrubs shall be planted along the south end of the parking lot. • Monument signage only allowed. • No exterior changes to the main structure. BACKGROUND Jason Payne for The Payne Firm, P.C. has requested a specific use permit. Mr. Payne states that his law firm is a civil litigation firm that practices personal injury, wrongful death and corporate cases. The office hours for the law firm will be from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. At the outset, the Payne Firm will have approximately two employees working in the Beaumont office. In the long term, Mr. Payne anticipates having four to six employees working at this location. ile the Planning Manager recognizes the desire of the neighborhood to keep the area as residential as possible, there are a number of factors that affect the City's recommendation. The property is surrounded on two sides by commercial/industrial uses and zoning. To the north is an event center and an ambulance service in GC -MD zoning. To the east is an industrial use located in RCR-H and HI zoning. Except for the subject property, the entire block is either commercial or industrial. Secondly, the structure contains over 4,800 sq. ft. of floor space. Such a large house, located where it is, will be difficult to market to a family. The house has been on the market for over a year. A professional office will be compatible with the neighborhood and will occupy a structure that might otherwise be susceptible to vandalism if left vacant. At a Joint Public Hearing held November 15, 2010, the Planning Commission voted 4:2 to approve a specific use permit to allow a law office in an RCR-H/HC (Residential Conservation and Revitalization-H/Historic-Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay) District at 1792 Broadway subject to the following conditions: • The applicant shall provide a parking lot with 16 parking spaces plus 1 ADA parking space for a total of 17 spaces. • The parking lot shall be paved with a pervious parking surface material capable of accommodating vehicles up to five thousand (5,000) pounds of gross vehicle weight and that allow the growth of lawn. • Ingress/egress to the parking lot shall be off of the alley at the rear of the property. • Two foot tall shrubs shall be planted along the south end of the parking lot. • Monument signage only allowed. • No exterior changes to the main structure.

RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends approval of an amended specific use permit subject to the following condition: The center driveway shall remain closed and limited access shall be allowed to the most easterly and westerly driveways along McFaddin. BACKGROUND Controlled Fluids, Inc. has requested an amended specific use permit. In October, 2002, Controlled Fluids, Inc. received a specific use permit to allow a fluid power distributor at 2220 Calder. That approval was based on three conditions. One of those conditions required that the two most easterly rear driveways be closed and that the most westerly driveway be open to limited vehicular access. In February, 2010, the Planning Manager responded to a phone call from Dixon Conn, President of Controlled Fluids. Mr. Conn stated that he had fenced his property, removed the barriers from the driveways and put gates at these driveways. The Planning Manager told Mr. Conn that while the Calder reconstruction was in front of his business, he would be allowed to use the rear driveways. However, once the construction was complete, he would be required to either close the easterly driveway or ask for an amended specific use permit. In this requested amendment to the specific use permit, Mr. Conn asks that the center driveway remain closed and that limited vehicular access be allowed to the most easterly and westerly driveways along McFaddin. At a Joint Public Hearing held November 15, 2010, the Planning Commission voted 6:0 to approve an amended specific use permit to allow a fluid power distributor in a GC -MD -2 District at 2220 Calder, subject to the following condition: The center driveway shall remain closed and limited access shall be allowed to the most easterly and westerly driveways along McFaddin.
