RESOLUTION MC 22-10

BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Minnehaha County, South Dakota (the “County”), as follows:

Section 1 Recitals.

1.1 The County is authorized by South Dakota Codified Laws, Chapter 7-25, inclusive, as amended (the “Act”), to enter into lease-purchase agreements for acquisition of real or personal property that the governing body considers necessary or appropriate to carry out its governmental and proprietary functions.

1.3 To finance the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of the Facilities, the County and the Trustee have executed and delivered that certain Declaration of Trust dated as of September 1, 1992 (the “Original Trust”), as amended by the First Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of November 1, 1994 (the “First Supplemental Trust”), the Second Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of April 1, 1997 (the “Second Supplemental Trust”), the Third Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of April 1, 1999 (the “Third Supplemental Trust”), the Fourth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of December 1, 2000 (the “Fourth Supplemental Trust”), the Fifth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of September l, 2004 (the “Fifth Supplemental Trust”), the Sixth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of October 1, 2005 (the ‘”Sixth Supplemental Trust”), the Seventh Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of October l, 2005 (the “Seventh Supplemental Trust”), the Eighth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of October 1, 2006 (the “Eighth Supplemental Trust”), the Ninth Supplemented Declaration of Trust, dated as of August 1, 2007 (the “Ninth Supplemental Trust”), the Tenth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of October 1, 2007 (the “Tenth Supplemental Trust”), the Eleventh Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of September 1, 2008 (the “Eleventh Supplemental Trust”), the Twelfth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of November 1, 2010 (the “Twelfth Supplemental Trust”), the Thirteenth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of September l, 2011 (the “Thirteenth Supplemental Trust”), the Fourteenth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of November 1, 2013 (the “Fourteenth Supplemental Trust”), the Fifteenth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of November 1, 2014 (the “Fifteenth Supplemental Trust”), the Sixteenth Supplemental Declaration of Trust, dated as of October 1, 2016 (the “Sixteenth Supplemental Trust”), the Seventeenth Supplemental Declaration of Trust dated as of December 1, 2017 and the Eighteenth Supplemental Declaration of Trust (the “Eighteenth Supplemental Trust”) (the Original Trust as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Trust, the Second Supplemental Trust, the Third Supplemental Trust, the Fourth Supplemental Trust, the Fifth Supplemental Trust, the Sixth Supplemental Trust, the Seventh Supplemental Trust, the Eighth Supplemental Trust, the Ninth Supplemental Trust, the Tenth Supplemental Trust, the Eleventh Supplemental Trust, the Twelfth Supplemental Trust, the Thirteenth Supplemental Trust, the Fourteenth Supplemental Trust, the Fifteenth Supplemental Trust, the Sixteenth Supplemental Trust, the Seventeenth Supplemental Trust, the Eighteenth Supplemental Trust, as now or hereafter amended or supplemented, the “Trust Agreement”) pursuant to which the Trustee has from time to time issued various series of Certificates of Participation (as defined in the Trust Agreement, the “Certificates”) in the lease payments to be made by the County under the Lease.

1.4 On August 25, 2020, the governing body of the County adopted Resolution MC20-59 (the “2020 Resolution”) which, among other things, found it necessary, and appropriate to carry out its governmental and proprietary functions to issue Certificates of Participation (Limited Tax General Obligation) (defined in the 2020 Resolution as “New Certificates” in one or more series to finance the costs related to the following: (a) the replacement, remodeling, installation, equipping and/or improving of the County’s existing chiller system; (b) replacement, remodeling, constructing, equipping and/or improving the County’s Highway Shop; (c) remodeling, equipping and improving of the County Administration Building and Extension Building; (d) the acquisition of real property for any of the foregoing or for the purpose of parking or other ancillary uses by the county (herein, “Additional Land”), and (e) the making of any site improvements in connection with any of the foregoing(the costs of undertaking the foregoing, together with any other expense or undertaking authorized and financed with proceeds of the transactions authorized hereunder being referred to collectively as the “Projects” or individually as a “Project”) and subsequently issued the Certificates of Participation, Series 2020 to finance $9,800,000 of costs of the Project pursuant to the Eighteenth Amendment to Lease and the Eighteenth Supplemental Trust.

1.5 The governing body of the County now finds and determines it to be necessary and appropriate, and in the public interest, that the Trustee execute and deliver a Supplemental Declaration of Trust which will supplement and amend the Trust Agreement for the purpose of issuing new Certificates of Participation (the “Refunding Certificates”) to refund on a current basis the Certificates of Participation, Series 2010A which are currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $1,585,000 (the “Certificates to be Refunded”) which refunding of the Certificates to be Refunded is expected to provide a reduction in the lease payments associated with the Certificates to be Refunded.

1.6 The governing body further finds and determines it to be necessary and appropriate, and in the public interest, to cause the Refunding Certificates to be issued in conjunction with the issuance of Certificates authorized by the 2020 Resolution in order to finance additional costs of the Project (the “Project Certificates”), thereby realizing efficiencies and economies of scale and to provide for further cost savings. Accordingly, the County and the Trustee propose to execute and deliver one or more Supplemental Declaration of Trust (collectively, the “New Supplemental Trust”), which will supplement and amend the Trust Agreement pursuant to which the Trustee will (i) issue one or more series of Certificates of Participation (collectively, whether Project Certificates, Refunding Certificates or both, the “New Certificates”) in the lease payments to be made by the County under the Lease, as amended by one or more Amendments to Lease-Purchase Agreement (each “New Amendment to Lease”) and (ii) receive, hold and invest the proceeds of the sale of the New Certificates and deposit (A) a portion of the proceeds in the Construction Account to pay costs associated with the Project authorized under the 2020 Resolution and (B) that portion of the proceeds necessary to refund and redeem the Certificates to be Refunded in a refunding account (the “Refunding Account”). In addition, any excess proceeds from the New Certificates, or any other prior series of Certificate of Participation may be used to pay costs of any capital expenditures associated with any Facilities leased pursuant to the Lease. The New Certificates may be divided and issued into more than one series in which case they shall be designated and identified by designation of years and/or letters (e.g. Series 2022A, Series 2022B, Series 2022C, etc.) and each New Amendment to Lease and New Supplemental Trust shall be designated numerically in sequence (e.g. Nineteenth, Twentieth etc.). In addition, to the extent permitted under Section 265 of the Code (as defined below), one or more series of New Certificates shall be designated “bank qualified”.

1.7 The Refunding Certificates authorized hereunder will be offered pursuant to an Official Statement which may be the same Official Statement authorized by the 2020 Resolution for the Offer of the Project Certificates (separately or collectively, the “Official Statement”).

1.8 If any Additional Land is to be acquired with proceeds of the Project Certificates or if any Project is not currently located on land which is already subject to the Ground Lease, the Chairman and County Auditor have been authorized pursuant to the 2020 Resolution to execute and deliver a quit claim deed or supplement to Ground Lease relating to such Additional Land or site of any such Project to the Trustee for inclusion in the Ground Lease and the Ground Lease, as so amended and supplemented, shall lease such site back to the County pursuant to the Lease. As of the date of this Resolution, it is anticipated that it will be necessary to add the parcel for the new Highway Shop at 2300 E 6oth ST N to the Ground Lease which is legally described as Tract 2 Minnehaha County Addition SE1/4 27 102 49 Mapleton Township 102-49. The foregoing legal description is subject to refinement and correction as necessary to include said parcel in the Ground Lease.

1.9 Forms of the following documents relating to the Refunding Certificates are directed to be prepared by Perkins Coie LLP, as Bond Counsel, and submitted to the County and are hereby directed to be filed with and approved by the County Auditor and the Deputy State’s Attorney (all or any of which may be combined into similar documents which have been authorized by the 2020 Resolution with respect to the Project Certificates): (a) the New Amendment to Lease, (b) the New Supplemental Trust and (c) the Certificate Purchase Agreement and (d) a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking with respect to the New Certificates (the “Continuing Disclosure Undertaking” and, together with the New Amendment to Lease, the New Supplemental Trust, the Certificate Purchase Agreement and any and all related documents, certificates, and other instruments in connection with the New Certificates herein referred to as the “Documents”).

1.10 Pursuant to the 2020 Resolution, New Certificates were authorized to be issued in a principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000 to finance costs of the Projects. There has heretofore been issued under the authority of the 2020 Resolution $9,800,000 of Certificates of Participation, Series 2020 so that the remaining authorized amount of Certificates to be issued under 2020 Resolution is $15,200,000.

Section 2 Authorization of Documents.

2.1 Authorization and Approval of the Documents for the Refunding Certificates. The refunding of the Certificates to be Refunded described above is found to be in the public interest and favorable to the County and its residents, and is hereby approved. The Chairman and County Auditor are authorized to approve the principal amount of a new Amendment to Lease and related series of Refunding Certificates to refund the Certificates to be Refunded in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,000,000 by providing for a deposit in the Refunding Account sufficient to refund and redeem all of the Certificates to be Refunded. The term for the Refunding Certificates shall not exceed eleven (11) years from the date of the related Amendment to Lease and the interest rate or rates thereon shall not exceed a rate equivalent to a bond yield (calculated consistent with the arbitrage regulations currently applicable to tax exempt bonds pursuant to Section 148 of the Code) of 3.5% per annum. The Refunding Certificates are to be sold to the Underwriter pursuant to a negotiated sale to be evidenced by a Certificate Purchase Agreement (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”) between the County and Collier Securities (the “Underwriter”), which Certificate Purchase Agreement shall specify a purchase price of not less than 99.2%.

2.2 Amended to Authorization and Approval Documents for the Project Certificates Pursuant to the 2020 Resolution. The forms of Documents authorized with respect to the Project Certificates under the 2020 Resolution are hereby amended such that the minimum purchase price under the Certificate Purchase Agreement shall not be less than 99.2%. Subject to the amendment set forth in the preceding sentence and the authority elsewhere in this Resolution to combine the offer, sale and related documentation of the Project Certificates and the Refunding Certificates, the 2020 Resolution is hereby incorporated herein as if expressly set forth in full and is ratified and confirmed in all other respects.

2.3 The Documents for the Project Certificates and Refunding Certificates shall are hereby approved if the County Auditor deems them appropriate and the Documents are approved by the Deputy State’s Attorney. The Chairman and the County Auditor are directed to execute the Documents if approved by the County Auditor. Copies of all Documents shall be delivered, filed and recorded as provided therein. The Chairman and the County Auditor and the Deputy State’s Attorney are also authorized and directed to execute such other instruments as may be required to give effect to the transactions therein contemplated. The County will cooperate in the issuance of the New Certificates and the Chairman, the County Auditor and the Deputy State’s Attorney shall execute such other instruments as are necessary to the issuance of the New Certificates.

Section 3 Modification, Absence of Officers. The approval hereby given to the Documents includes an approval of such additional details therein as may be necessary and appropriate and such modifications thereto, deletions therefrom and additions thereto as may be necessary and appropriate and approved by the Deputy State’s Attorney prior to the execution of the Documents. The execution of any instrument by the appropriate officer or officers of the County herein authorized shall be conclusive evidence of the approval of such documents in accordance with the terms hereof. In the absence of the Chairman or the County Auditor, any of the Documents authorized by this resolution to be executed may be executed by such officer as, in the opinion of the Deputy State’s Attorney, may execute documents in their stead.

Section 4 Payment of Lease Payments. The County will pay to the Trustee promptly when due, all of the Lease Payments (as defined in the Lease) and other amounts required by the Lease. To provide moneys to make such payments the County will include in its annual budget, for each fiscal year during the term of the Lease, moneys sufficient to pay and for the purpose of paying all Lease Payments and other amounts payable under the Lease, and will take all other actions necessary to provide moneys for the payment of the obligations or the County under the Lease from sources of the County lawfully available for this purpose, including the levy of such taxes as may be necessary therefor, including levies under South Dakota Codified Laws Section 10-13-35, subject only to the limitations on such levies imposed by South Dakota law.

The County agrees and covenants to include in its annual budget for each fiscal year during the term of the Lease moneys sufficient to pay and for the purpose of paying the Lease Payments pursuant to the Lease, as amended and supplemented by the New Amendment to Lease, and to levy a tax pursuant to South Dakota Codified Laws Section 7-25-1, and in conformity with the South Dakota Codified Laws Section 10-13-35 and South Dakota Constitution Article XIII Section 5, in an amount which will generate an amount sufficient and for the purpose of paying the Lease Payments pursuant to the New Amendment to Lease, to the extent permitted by law and to take all other actions necessary to provide moneys for the payment of the Lease Payments pursuant to the New Amendment to Lease from sources of the County lawfully available for such purpose.

Section 5 Tax Matters. The County covenants and agrees with the Trustee and the registered owners from time to time of the New Certificates that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the New Certificates to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and applicable Treasury Regulations (the “Regulations”), and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the New Certificates will not become subject to taxation under the Code and the Regulations. The County will cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury an information reporting statement in the form and at the time prescribed by the Code. The County will comply with the provisions of Section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the rebate of arbitrage profits to the United States, if and to the extent that such provisions are applicable to the Lease and the New Certificates.

Section 6 Arbitrage Certification. The Chairman and the County Auditor, being the officers of the County charged with the responsibility for issuing the New Certificates pursuant to this Resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Trustee a certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and Sections 1.148-1 et al of the Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the New Certificates which make it reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the New Certificates will not be used in a manner that would cause the Lease or the New Certificates to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of the Code and Regulations.

Section 7 Official Statement. The County will participate in the preparation of the Preliminary Official Statement and the final Official Statement relating to the New Certificates and hereby authorizes the County Auditor to consent to the distribution of the Official Statement by the purchaser of the New Certificates in connection with the sale of the New Certificates. The Preliminary Official Statement, except for Permitted Omissions, will be deemed final by the County when authorized by the County Auditor as of its date within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As used herein, “Permitted Omissions” shall mean the offering price(s), interest rate(s), selling compensation, aggregate principal amount, principal amount per maturity, delivery dates, rating, if any, and other terms of the New Certificates depending on such matters.

Section 8 Amendment. This resolution may be amended from time to time, prior to the issuance of the New Certificates, by an administrative resolution adopted by this Board.

Section 9 Date Resolution Becomes Effective. This resolution shall become effective twenty days after publication in accordance with South Dakota Codified Laws Section 7-18A-8.

Adopted this 4th day of January, 2022.

BRIEFING

Carol Muller, Commission Administrative Officer, introduced Doug Rowe and Alec Leddy with Berry Dunn, who were both present via teleconference, to present a prosecution system comparison report. The report highlighted the background and comparison summary as well as the comparison of both the County Prosecution Case Management System and ProsecutorbyKarpel Case Management System. The strengths and weaknesses of each software program were discussed in detail. The strengths of the County Prosecution Case Management System include numerous functional benefits, including Discovery, notification features, and email attachments; interfaces with all necessary justice partners; and be able to collect and store files and data in a cost-efficient manner using external hard drives. The weaknesses of the County Prosecution Case Management System are frequently freezes/crashes, limiting usability and harming user trust; ineffective report development; does not assist with caseload management; takes time to accommodate State and County statutes; and ineffective system calendaring. ProsecutorbyKarpel Case Management System offers the following strengths: commercial-off-the-shelf; meets all County functional and technical requirements; mature and cloud-hosted; and well-estimated interfaces with justice partners with flat fee pricing. The weakness of ProsecutorbyKarpel Case Management are the lack of customizability and potential increase in storage costs.

ZONING APPEAL

Commissioner Bender excused herself from the meeting at 10:24 a.m.

Kevin Hoekman, Planner, gave a briefing on an appeal of a decision by the Minnehaha County Planning Commission to approve Conditional Use Permit #21-76 Allowing Construction of a Public Facility. This is a continuation of the hearing that was held on December 21,2021. Chair Heiberger reminded the parties that the Commission had heard all previous arguments and requested that the parties restrict their presentation to the question raised at the prior hearing as to the definition of a public utility.

Chair Heiberger asked for proponents and opponents to speak on the topic.

Proponents

Jason Sutton, representing Northern Natural Gas Company, presented his arguments for granting the conditional use permit. Mr. Sutton stated that the property in question is zoned as AG-1 and that the project would be eligible for a conditional use permit under the ordinance. Mr. Sutton went on to present his arguments why Northern Natural Gas Company should be considered a public utility.

William Taylor, representing Brightmark, presented a brief on the history of the natural gas regulation in the United States. Mr.Taylor also presented his arguments why Northern Natural Gas Company should be considered a public utility and why the project met the requirements of a public utility facility under Minnehaha County ordinance.

Opponents

Reece Almond, representing David Wirkus and Nicole Dybvig-Wirkus, presented his arguments why Northern Natural Gas Company should not be considered a public utility. Mr. Almond stated that according to the ordinance Northern Natural Gas does not meet the definition of a public utility based on Northern Natural Gas Company’s own arguments to the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission that it is not a public utility.
