FISCAL EFFECTS: This will obligate the City to pay a number of costs of issuance for the refunding bonds. These items will be paid from the proceeds of the sale, according to the estimated Sources and Uses of Funding, attached. In total, between the costs of issuance, underwriters discount, and interest savings, there is estimated to be a net savings over the life of the bonds of approximately $450,000. Final savings figures will be dependent on interest rates at the time of the bond sale. 71 72 73 CERTIFICATE AS TO RESOLUTION AND ADOPTING VOTE I, the undersigned, being the duly qualified and acting recording officer of the City of Bozeman, Montana (the “City”), hereby certify that the attached resolution is a true copy of the resolution, entitled: “RESOLUTION RELATING TO GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 2012; AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND PRIVATE NEGOTIATED SALE THEREOF” (the “Resolution”), on file in the original records of the City in my legal custody; that the Resolution was duly adopted by the City Commission of the City at a meeting on May 7, 2012, and that the meeting was duly held by the City Commission and was attended throughout by a quorum, pursuant to call and notice of such meeting given as required by law; and that the Resolution has not as of the date hereof been amended or repealed.
