WHEREAS, the City will receive a proposal from the Underwriter for the purchase of the Bonds in
the form of a bond purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) that will be substantially similar
to the bond purchase agreements the City has previously entered into; and
WHEREAS, by this resolution the City Council will authorize the execution, issuance, sale and delivery
of the Bonds to the Underwriter in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and at such prices,
interest rates, maturities and redemption features as may be hereafter determined by the

valid and binding instrument for the security of the Bonds authorized herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chandler, Arizona, as
follows:
Section 1.
Authorization. For purposes of providing funds to refund all or a portion of the
Bonds Being Refunded, the City of Chandler, Arizona, General Obligation
Refunding Bonds, Taxable Series 2021, in an aggregate principal amount of not to
exceed $75,000,000 are hereby authorized to be issued and sold as either taxable
or tax-exempt bonds in accordance with the provisions of this resolution and
delivered against payment therefor by the Underwriter. The designation of the
Bonds may change if the Bonds are not sold in calendar year 2021. The Bonds
will be issued to provide funds to refund all or a portion of the Bonds Being
Refunded and to pay the costs of issuance of the Bonds. The City Council finds
and determines that it is expedient, necessary and advisable for the City to
restructure a portion of its outstanding bonded debt to lower the aggregate tax
burden for the City’s taxpayers. It is estimated that the present value of the debt
service savings that will occur, net of all costs associated with the Bonds, shall be
not less than three percent (3%) of the principal amount of the Bonds Being
Refunded and shall result in present value savings of at least $1,000,000.
Resolution No. 5457

Section 2.
Terms.
A.
Bonds. The Bonds will be dated such date as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, will mature on July 1 in some or all of the years 2022 through 2028,
inclusive, and will bear interest from their date to the maturity or earlier
redemption date of each of the Bonds provided that the bond yield shall not exceed
five percent (5%).
The principal amount maturing in each year, the interest rates applicable to each
maturity, the optional and mandatory redemption provisions and any other final
terms of the Bonds shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and approved
by the Management Services Director and such approval shall be evidenced by the
execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement. The Bonds are expected to be
initially issued in fully registered book-entry-only form in denominations equal to
the respective year’s maturity amount. If the book-entry-only system is
discontinued, the Bonds will be in the denominations of $5,000 of principal each
or integral multiples thereof. Interest on the Bonds shall be payable semiannually
on each January 1 and July 1 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) during the term
of the Bonds, commencing January 1, 2022 (or on a later date as set forth in the
Purchase Agreement).
B.
Book-Entry-Only System. So long as the Bonds are administered under the
book-entry-only system described herein, interest payments and principal
payments that are part of periodic principal and interest payments shall be paid to
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), its nominee Cede & Co., or its registered
assigns in same-day funds no later than the time established by DTC on each
interest or principal payment date (or in accordance with then-existing
arrangements between the City and DTC). The City has previously entered into
an agreement (the “Letter of Representations”) with DTC in connection with the
issuance of the City’s bonds, including the Bonds, and, while the Letter of
Representations is in effect, the procedures established therein shall apply to the
Bonds.
C.
Registration. If the book-entry-only system is discontinued, the Registrar’s
(as defined herein) registration books shall show the registered owners of the
Bonds (the owner or owners of the Bonds as shown on the Registrar’s registration
books shall be referred to as “Owner” or “Owners”). While the Bonds are subject
to the book-entry-only system, the Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede
& Co., as nominee of DTC, or its registered assigns. The Bonds will be
administered by the Registrar in a manner which ensures against double issuance
and provides a system of transfer of ownership on the books of the Registrar in
the manner set forth in the Bonds. The City recognizes that, if issued as tax-
exempt bonds, Section 149(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”), requires the Bonds to be issued and to remain in fully registered
form in order that interest thereon is exempt from federal income taxation under
laws in force at the time the Bonds are delivered. In this connection, the City
agrees that it will not take any action to permit the Bonds to be issued in, or
converted into bearer or coupon form.
Resolution No. 5457

4041086.8
D.
Payment. If the book-entry-only system is discontinued, interest on the
Bonds will be payable on each Interest Payment Date by the Paying Agent (as
defined herein) by check mailed to the Owner thereof at such Owner’s address as
shown on the registration books maintained by the Registrar as of the close of
business of the Registrar on the Record Date (as defined herein).
If the book-entry-only system is discontinued, principal of the Bonds will be
payable, when due, only upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds at the
designated corporate trust office of the Paying Agent. Upon written request made
20 days prior to an Interest Payment Date by an Owner of at least $1,000,000 in
principal amount of Bonds outstanding all payments of interest and, if adequate
provision for surrender is made, principal and premium, if any, shall be paid by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account within the United States
of America designated by such Owner.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution, payment of principal of and
interest on any Bond that is held by a securities depository or Bonds subject to a
book-entry-only system may be paid by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in “same
day funds”.
E.
Other Terms. The Bonds shall have such other terms and provisions as are
set forth in Exhibit A hereto and shall be sold under the terms and conditions set
forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Section 3.
Prior Redemption.
A.
Optional Redemption. The Bonds may be subject to redemption as determined
by the Management Services Director and set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
B.
Mandatory Redemption. The Bonds may be subject to mandatory
redemption as determined by the Management Services Director and set forth in the
Purchase Agreement.
Whenever Bonds subject to mandatory redemption are purchased, redeemed
(other than pursuant to mandatory redemption) or delivered by the City to the
Registrar for cancellation, the principal amount of the Bonds so retired shall satisfy
and be credited against the mandatory redemption requirements for such Bonds
for such years as the City may direct.
C.
Notice of Redemption. So long as the Bonds are held under the book-entry-
only system, notices of redemption will be sent to DTC in the manner required by
DTC. If the book-entry-only system is discontinued, notice of redemption of any
Bond will be mailed to the registered owner of the Bond or Bonds being redeemed
at the address shown on the bond register maintained by the registrar not more
than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date set for redemption. Notice of
redemption may be sent to any securities depository by mail, facsimile
transmission, wire transmission or any other means of transmission of the notice
Resolution No. 5457
Page 5
4041086.8
generally accepted by the respective securities depository. Failure to properly give
notice of redemption shall not affect the redemption of any Bond for which notice
was properly given.
Notice of any redemption will also be sent to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board (the “MSRB”), currently through the MSRB’s Electronic Municipal Market
Access system, in the manner required by the MSRB, but no defect in said further
notice or record nor any failure to give all or a portion of such further notice shall
in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is
given as prescribed above.
If moneys for the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest are not
held in separate accounts by the City or by a Paying Agent prior to sending the
notice of redemption, such redemption shall be conditional on such moneys being
so held on the date set for redemption and if not so held by such date, the
redemption shall be cancelled and be of no force and effect.
D.
Effect of Call for Redemption. On the date designated for redemption by
notice given as herein provided, the Bonds so called for redemption shall become
and be due and payable at the redemption price provided for redemption of such
Bonds on such date and, if moneys for payment of the redemption price are held
in separate accounts by the Paying Agent, interest on such Bonds or portions of
Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Bonds shall cease to
be entitled to any benefit or security hereunder and the Owners of such Bonds
shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the redemption
price thereof and such Bonds shall be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.
E.
Redemption of Less Than All of a Bond. The City may redeem an amount
which is included in a Bond in the denomination in excess of, but divisible by,
$5,000. In that event, the Owner shall submit the Bond for partial redemption
and the Paying Agent shall make such partial payment and the Registrar shall
cause to be issued a new Bond in a principal amount equal to the unpaid amount
remaining on such Bond after the redemption to be authenticated and delivered
to the Owner thereof.
Section 4.
Security. For the purpose of paying the principal of, interest on, premium, if any,
and costs of administration of the Bonds, there shall be levied on all the taxable
property in the City a continuing, direct, annual, ad valorem tax sufficient to pay
all such principal, interest, premium and administration costs of the Bonds as the
same becomes due, such taxes to be levied, assessed and collected at the same
time and in the same manner as other taxes are levied, assessed and collected.
Taxes levied with respect to the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds
shall be limited as follows: the total aggregate of taxes levied to pay principal of and
interest on the Bonds in the aggregate shall not exceed the total aggregate principal
and interest to become due on the Bonds Being Refunded, calculated from the date
of issuance of the Bonds to the final maturity date of the Bonds Being Refunded; and
further, if the trust created to pay principal of and premium and interest on the Bonds
Being Refunded is insufficient to make such payments when due, any taxes levied to
Resolution No. 5457
Page 6
4041086.8
pay principal and interest on the Bonds shall first be applied to the payments of
amounts due on the Bonds Being Refunded. The proceeds of the taxes shall be kept
in a special fund of the City and shall be used only for the payment of principal,
interest, premium, if any, or administration costs as above-stated.
Upon creation of the trust for payment of the Bonds Being Refunded, all moneys
collected during the current fiscal year which would otherwise have been credited
to the interest and redemption funds for the Bonds Being Refunded shall be
credited to the interest and redemption funds created to service the Bonds.
Section 5.
Use of Proceeds. Upon the delivery of and payment for the Bonds in accordance with
the terms of their sale, the net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, after payment
of the costs and expenses of issuance, shall be set aside, together with certain funds
of the City, if any, required to pay the Bonds Being Refunded, in a special trust fund
maintained by a bank or trust company selected by the Management Services
Director as depository trustee (the “Depository Trustee”) and shall be used to pay,
when due, principal of and interest and premium on the Bonds Being Refunded, all
as more fully described in that certain Depository Trust Agreement to be dated as of
November 1, 2021 (the “Depository Trust Agreement”), or such later date as mutually
agreed upon, by and between the City and the Depository Trustee. Amounts credited
to the trust, other than any beginning cash balance, shall be invested immediately in
obligations issued by or guaranteed by the United States of America the maturing
principal of, interest on, and premium, if any, which, together with any beginning
cash balance, shall be sufficient to pay the principal of and premium and interest on
the Bonds Being Refunded as the same becomes due at maturity or prior redemption
as provided herein.
Any balance of the net proceeds of the Bonds remaining after payment of the costs
of issuance and funding the trust for the Bonds Being Refunded shall be transferred
to the debt service fund for the Bonds.
Section 6.
Form of Bonds. The Bonds shall be issued in book-entry-only form and, so long as
the book-entry-only system is in effect, the Bonds shall be in substantially the form
of Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, with such
necessary and appropriate omissions, insertions and variations as are permitted or
required hereby or by the Purchase Agreement and are approved by those officers
executing the Bonds; execution thereof by such officers shall constitute conclusive
evidence of such approval. If the book-entry-only system is discontinued, the forms
of the Bonds shall be adjusted to accommodate the requirements of non-book-entry
bonds.
The Bonds may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, securities
exchange rule or usage. Each Bond shall show both the date of the issue and the
date of such Bond’s authentication and registration. The Bonds are prohibited from
being converted to coupon or bearer form without the consent of the City Council
and approval of bond counsel.

Page 9
4041086.8
The Management Services Director shall solicit pricing quotes to act as the Registrar
and the Paying Agent with respect to the Bonds and shall select a Registrar and a
Paying Agent in the best interests of the City. Any entity into which the Registrar or
the Paying Agent is merged or consolidated shall continue as the Registrar or the
Paying Agent hereunder without notice to the Owners or any further action by the
City. The City may change the Registrar or the Paying Agent without notice to or
consent of Owners and the City may act in any such capacity.
Each Paying Agent shall be required to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will
hold in trust for the benefit of the Owners all moneys held by the Paying Agent for
the payment of principal of and interest and any premium on the Bonds.
The Registrar may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the City to
authenticate Bonds. An authenticating agent may authenticate Bonds whenever
the Registrar may do so. Each reference in this resolution to authentication by the
Registrar includes authentication by an authenticating agent acting on behalf and
in the name of the Registrar and subject to the Registrar’s direction.
The Registrar shall keep a separate register for the Bonds, which will show the
Owners and any transfer of the Bonds. When Bonds are presented to the Registrar
or a co-Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register
the transfer on the registration books if its requirements for transfer are met and
shall authenticate and deliver one or more Bonds registered in the name of the
transferee of the same principal amount, maturity and rate of interest as the
surrendered Bonds. All transfer fees and costs shall be paid by the transferor.
The “Record Date” for the Bonds shall be the 15th day of the month preceding
each Interest Payment Date or principal payment date, as applicable. The
Registrar may, but shall not be required to, transfer or exchange any Bonds during
the period commencing on the Record Date to and including the respective Interest
Payment Date. If the Registrar transfers or exchanges Bonds within the period
referred to above, interest on such Bonds shall be paid to the person who was the
Owner at the close of business of the Registrar on the Record Date as if such
transfer or exchange had not occurred.
The Registrar shall authenticate Bonds for original issue up to $75,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount upon the written request of the Management Services

and all action necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of the

Resolution No. 5457
Page 10
4041086.8
Section 12.
Resolution a Contract. This resolution shall constitute a contract between the City
and the Owners and shall not be repealed or amended in any manner that would
impair, impede or lessen the rights of the Owners of the Bonds then outstanding.
The performance by the City Council of the obligations in this resolution, the
Bonds, the Purchase Agreement and the other agreements and documents listed
in Section 7 of this resolution is hereby authorized and approved.
Section 13.
Ratification of Actions. All actions of the officers and agents of the City that
conform to the purposes and intent of this resolution and which further the
issuance and sale of the Bonds as contemplated by this resolution whether
heretofore or hereafter taken are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved. The
proper officers and agents of the City are hereby authorized and directed to do all
such acts and things and to execute and deliver all such documents on behalf of
the City as may be necessary to carry out the terms and intent of this resolution.
Section 14.
Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Bonds are not “qualified tax-exempt
obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
Section 15.
Redemption of Certain Bonds. Some or all of the maturities of the Prior Bonds
may be refunded. Those selected for refunding are referred to herein as the Bonds
Being Refunded. The Mayor and City Council hereby order that the maturities of
the Bonds Being Refunded and the times that the Bonds Being Refunded will be
redeemed will be determined by the Management Services Director and will be as
set forth in the Official Statement. The weighted average maturity of the Bonds
shall be at least 75% of the weighted average maturity of the Bonds Being
Refunded.
Section 16.
Tax Covenants. All or a portion of the Bonds may be issued as “tax-exempt” bonds
or “taxable” bonds for purposes of the Code, as determined by the Management
Services Director with the assistance of the Financial Advisor and the Underwriter.
This Section shall only apply to such Bonds designated by the City as “tax-exempt”.
In consideration of the purchase and acceptance of the Bonds by the Owners
thereof and, as authorized by Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 35, Chapter 3, Article
7, and in consideration of retaining the exclusion of interest income on such Bonds
from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the City covenants with the
Owners from time to time of the Bonds to neither take nor fail to take any action
which action or failure to act is within its power and authority and would result in
interest on the Bonds becoming subject to inclusion in gross income for federal
income taxes.
The City agrees that it will comply with such requirements as in the opinion of
Bond Counsel are necessary to prevent interest on the Bonds from becoming
subject to inclusion in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Such
requirements may include but are not limited to making further specific covenants;
making truthful certifications and representations and giving necessary
assurances; complying with all representations, covenants and assurances
contained in certificates or agreements to be prepared by Bond Counsel; paying
to the United States of America any required amounts representing rebates of

of maturity of the bonds being refunded; and subject, further, to the rights vested in the owners of the
bonds being refunded by the bonds of this issue to the payment of such bonds being refunded from
