In furtherance thereof, the Board covenants as follows: (1) to take any action to assure that no more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced therewith (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business use," as defined in section 141(b)(6) of the IRS Code or, if more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced therewith are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by the Board, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Resolution or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than 10 percent of the debt service on the Bonds, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the IRS Code; (2) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in subsection (1) hereof exceeds 5 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or the projects financed or refinanced therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of 5 percent is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the IRS Code, to the governmental use; (3) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or 5 percent ofthe proceeds ofthe Bonds (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the IRS Code; (4) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Bonds being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the IRS Code; (5) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the IRS Code; BCRUA: CPUCRevBonds08 19 (6) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the IRS Code) which produces a materially higher yield over the term of the Bonds, other than investment property acquired with: (A) proceeds ofthe Bonds invested for a reasonable temporary period ofthree (3) years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a period of thirty (30) days or less until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds are issued, (B) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and (C) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed ten (10) percent of the proceeds of the Bonds; (7) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, so that the Bonds do not otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the IRS Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the IRS Code (relating to advance refundings); and (8) to pay to the United States of America at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) an amount that is at least equal to 90 percent of the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(0 of the IRS Code and to pay to the United States of America, not later than sixty (60) days after the Bonds have been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(0 of the IRS Code; and (9) to assure that the proceeds of the Bonds will be used solely for new money projects. (b) Rebate Fund. In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenant (8), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the Board for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the bondholders. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the IRS Code. (c) Proceeds. The Board understands that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds. It is the understanding ofthe Board that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the IRS Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify or expand provisions of the IRS Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the BCRUA will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the IRS Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter BCRUA: CP\KRevBonds08 20 promulgated which impose additional requirements which are applicable to the Bonds, the BCRUA agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds under section 103 of the IRS Code. In furtherance of such intention, the BCRUA hereby authorizes and directs the BCRUA Representative to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the IRS Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the BCRUA, which may be permitted by the IRS Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds. (d) Allocation Of and Limitation On, Expenditures for the Project. The BCRUA covenants to account for the expenditure of sale proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the purposes described in Section 2 of this Resolution (the "Project") on its books and records in accordance with the requirements ofthe IRS Code. The Board recognizes that in order for the proceeds to be considered used for the reimbursement of costs, the proceeds must be allocated to expenditures within 18 months of the later of the date that (1) the expenditure is made, or (2) the Project is completed; but in no event later than three years after the date on which the original expenditure is paid. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Board recognizes that in order for proceeds to be expended under the IRS Code, the sale proceeds or investment earnings must be expended no more than sixty (60) days after the earlier of (1) the fifth (5th) anniversary ofthe delivery of the Bonds, or (2) the date the Bonds are retired. The Board agrees to obtain the advice of nationally -recognized bond counsel if such expenditure fails to comply with the foregoing to assure that such expenditure will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes of this subsection, the Board shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel to the effect that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest. (e) Disposition of Project. The BCRUA covenants that the property constituting the BCRUA Project will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by the Board of cash or other compensation, unless the Board obtains an opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes ofthis subsection, the portion ofthe property comprising personal property and disposed of in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes of this subsection, the Board shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel to the effect that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest. Section 25. RESOLUTION TO CONSTITUTE A CONTRACT; EQUAL SECURITY. In consideration of the acceptance of the Bonds, the issuance of which is authorized hereunder, by those who shall hold the same from time to time, this Resolution shall be deemed to be and shall constitute a contract between the Board and the Registered Owners from time to time ofthe Bonds and the pledge made in this Resolution by the Board and the covenants and agreements set forth in this Resolution to be performed by the Board shall be for the equal and proportionate benefit, security, and protection of all Registered Owners, without preference, priority, or distinction as to security or otherwise of any of the Bonds authorized hereunder over any of the others by reason of time of issuance, sale, or maturity thereof or otherwise for any cause whatsoever, except as expressly provided in or permitted by this Resolution. BCRUA: CP\KRevBonds08 21 Section 26. SEVERABILITY OF INVALID PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, or provisions herein contained shall be held contrary to any express provisions of law or contrary to the policy of express law, though not expressly prohibited, or against public policy, or shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, or provisions shall be null and void and shall be deemed separable from the remaining covenants, agreements, or provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of any of the other provisions hereof or of the Bonds issued hereunder. Section 27. PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE ON BUSINESS DAYS. Except as provided to the contrary in the FORM OF BOND, whenever under the terms of this Resolution or the Bonds, the performance date of any provision hereof or thereof, including the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds, shall occur on a day other than a Business Day, then the performance thereof, including the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds, need not be made on such day but may be performed or paid, as the case may be, on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of performance or payment.

(b) The deposit under clause (ii) of subsection (a) shall be deemed a payment of a Bond as aforesaid when proper notice of redemption of such Bonds shall have been given or upon the establishment of irrevocable provisions for the giving of such notice, in accordance with this Resolution.

Until all Defeased Bonds shall have become due and payable, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall perform the services of Paying Agent/Registrar for such Defeased Bonds the same as if they had not been defeased, and the BCRUA shall make proper arrangements to provide and pay for such services as required by this Resolution. (d) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Resolution, if money or Defeasance Securities have been deposited or set aside with the Paying Agent/Registrar or an eligible trust company or commercial bank pursuant to this Section for the payment of Bonds and such Bonds shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment of the provisions of this Section shall be made without the consent of the registered owner of each Bond affected thereby. (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) immediately above, to the extent that, upon the defeasance of any Defeased Bond to be paid at its maturity, the BCRUA retains the right under State law to later call that Defeased Bond for redemption in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution, the BCRUA may call such Defeased Bond for redemption upon complying with the provisions of State law and upon the satisfaction of the provisions of subsection (a) immediately above with respect to such Defeased Bond as though it was being defeased at the time of the exercise of the option to redeem the Defeased Bond and the effect ofthe redemption is taken into account in determining the sufficiency ofthe provisions made for the payment of the Defeased Bond.

WHITE, City Secretary 5 ALAN MCGRAW, Mayor City of Round Rock, Texas DATE: December 11, 2008 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — December 18, 2008 ITEM: 12A1. Consider an ordinance amending water rates to promote the conservation of water. (Second Reading) Department: Staff Person: Justification: Water and Wastewater Utilities Michael Thane, Director of Utilities Water conservation is important to our region as we must protect this precious natural resource. The demand for water will continue to increase as our City grows to its ultimate population. Planning for the City's ultimate water system includes approximately 10 million gallons of water per day (MGD) from conservation and reuse programs.. To reach this goal, efforts must be implemented by the City to promote conservation efforts by customers. The new rates, which are based on an inclined -block structure, promote conservation in that the more water you use, the higher the rate you will pay. The inclined -block rate structure will impact residential, commercial, government, multi -family, and industrial customers during the peak water billing months of June through October. The non -peak months, November through May, will be billed based on the current base water rate. The water usage rate for each block is determined by the meter size for each customer. Funding: Cost: N/A Source of funds: N/A Outside Resources: None Background Information: Beginning January 1, 2009, the City's water rate for all users is $2.24 per 1,000 gallons of use. The purpose of Conservation Water Rates is to encourage conservation by having lower water rates for customers in the lower usage block. If additional revenue is generated from conservation rates, the revenue will fund a citywide water conservation program to promote public education and awareness, and potentially fund future capital improvements as well as offsetting future water rate increases. Public Comment: Several presentations regarding water conservation have been made to the City Council over the past several months. DATE: May 21, 2009 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — May 28, 2009 ITEM: 12G2. Consider a resolution approving a resolution by the Board of Directors of the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority, Inc. authorizing the issuance of "Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority, Inc, City of Round Rock, Texas contract revenue bonds, (Brushy Creek Regional Water Treatment and Distribution Project)"; establishing the procedures for selling and delivering the bonds, and resolving other matters incident and relating to the issuance, payment, security, sale and delivery of such bonds. Department: Staff Person: Justification: Administration Cindy Demers, Assistant City Manager This resolution approves the issuance of bonds for Phase I of the regional water project financed through the BCRUA. Pursuant to the BCRUA Master Contract each City has to approve a substantially final bond resolution prior to the BCRUA issuing bonds. Round Rock's financed portion of Phase I is $65,870,000. Estimated interest rates provided by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) on Monday, May 18, 2009 indicate very favorable rates for Round Rock's portion of the issuance at an average coupon rate of 4.79% for 25 year bonds. Funding: Cost: N/A Source of funds: N/A Outside Resources: Garry Kimball, Specialized Public Finance Richard Ramirez, First Southwest Carol Polumbo, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton Background Information: In August 2007, the BCRUA submitted an application to the TWDB for financial assistance from the Financial Assistance Account of the Development Fund II (DFund II) administered by the TWDB for the regional water project. In January of 2008, the TWDB adopted Resolution No. 08-03, making a commitment to the Borrower for financial assistance in the total amount of $309,755,000 (phases I & II). The BCRUA is now ready to issue Contract Revenue Bonds to the TWDB in the total amount of $182,020,000 for the first phase of the project. In order for this to occur, the TWDB must issue Water Financial Assistance Bonds to provide for funding for the financial assistance from the DFund II. The cities previously approved a financing agreement setting forth the obligations of the parties. Public Comment: N/A
