IT’S WHAT WE DO. The City of Spring Park, Minnesota Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy The City Council (the “Council”) of The City of Spring Park, Minnesota (the “City”) has chosen, by policy, to take steps to help ensure that all obligations will be in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. This policy may be amended, as necessary, in the future. IRS Background The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is responsible for enforcing compliance with the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”) governing certain obligations (for example: tax-exempt obligations, Build America Bonds, Recovery Zone Development Bonds and various “Tax Credit” Bonds). The IRS encourages issuers and beneficiaries of such obligations to adopt and implement a post-issuance debt compliance policy and procedures to safeguard against post-issuance violations. SEC Background The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is responsible for enforcing compliance with its Rule 15c2-12 (the “Rule”) of the securities act. Issuers and borrowers of municipal securities (referred to as “obligated persons”) generally have a requirement to meet specific continuing disclosure standards set forth in continuing disclosure agreements (“CDA”). Unless the issuer, obligated person, or a specific obligation is exempt from compliance with CDAs, these agreements are entered into at the time of issuance to enable underwriter(s) to comply with the Rule. The Rule sets forth certain obligations of (i) underwriters to receive, review and disseminate official statements of most primary offerings of municipal securities, (ii) underwriters to obtain CDAs from issuers and other obligated persons to provide material event disclosures and annual financial information on a continuing basis, and (iii) broker-dealers to have access to such continuing disclosures in order to make recommendations of municipal securities transactions in the secondary market. The SEC encourages issuers and obligated persons adopt and implement a post-issuance debt compliance policy and procedures to safeguard against Rule violations. When obligations are issued, the CDA commits the issuer or obligated person to provide certain financial and statistical information and material event notices to the public. Issuers and other obligated persons may also choose to provide periodic, voluntary financial information and filings to investors in addition to fulfilling the specific responsibilities delineated in CDAs. It is important to note that issuers and other obligated persons should not give any one investor certain information that is not readily available to all market participants by disseminating information to the marketplace, at large. Issuers and other obligated persons should be aware that any disclosure activities determined to be “communicating to the market” can be subject to regulatory scrutiny. Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy Objective The City desires to monitor these obligations to ensure compliance with the IRS Code, Treasury Regulations and the SEC Rule. To help ensure compliance, the City has developed the following policy (the “Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy”). The Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy shall apply to all obligations, including bonds, notes, loans, lease purchase contracts, lines of credit, commercial paper or any other form of debt that is subject to compliance. Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy The Finance Clerk of the City is designated as the City’s agent who is responsible for post-issuance compliance obligations. The Finance Clerk shall assemble all relevant documentation, records and activities required to ensure post-issuance debt compliance as further detailed in corresponding procedures (the “Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Procedures”). At a minimum, the Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Procedures for each qualifying obligation will address the following: 1. General Post-Issuance Compliance 2. General Recordkeeping 3. Arbitrage Yield Restriction and Rebate Recordkeeping 4. Expenditure and Asset Documentation to be Assembled and Retained 5. Miscellaneous Documentation to be Assembled and Retained 6. Additional Undertakings and Activities that Support Sections 1 through 5 above 7. Continuing Disclosure Obligations 8. Compliance with Future Requirements The Finance Clerk shall apply the Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Procedures to each qualifying obligation and maintain a record of the results. Further, the Finance Clerk will ensure that the Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy and Procedures are updated on a regular and as needed basis. The Finance Clerk or any other individuals responsible for assisting the Finance Clerk in maintaining records needed to ensure post-issuance debt compliance, are authorized to expend funds as needed to attend training or secure use of other educational resources for ensuring compliance such as consulting, publications, and compliance assistance. Most of the provisions of this Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy are not applicable to taxable governmental obligations unless there is a reasonable possibility that the City may refund their taxable governmental obligation, in whole or in part, with the proceeds of a tax-exempt governmental obligation. If this refunding possibility exists, then the City shall treat the taxable governmental obligation as if such issue were an issue of tax-exempt governmental obligations and comply with the requirements of this Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy. Private Activity Bonds The City may issue tax-exempt obligations that are “private activity” bonds because either (1) the bonds finance a facility that is owned by the City but used by one or more qualified 501(c)(3) organizations, or (2) the bonds are so-called “conduit bonds”, where the proceeds are loaned to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization or another private entity that finances activities eligible for tax-exempt financing under federal law (such as certain manufacturing projects and certain affordable housing projects). Prior to the issuance of either of these types of bonds, the Finance Clerk shall take steps necessary to ensure that such obligations will remain in compliance with the requirements of this Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy. In a case where compliance activities are reasonably within the control of a private party (i.e., a 501(c)(3) organization or conduit borrower), the Finance Clerk may determine that all or some portion of compliance responsibilities described in this Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy shall be assigned to the relevant party. In the case of conduit bonds, the conduit borrower will be assigned all compliance responsibilities other than those required to be undertaken by the City under federal law. In a case where the Finance Clerk is concerned about the compliance ability of a private party, the Finance Clerk may require that a trustee or other independent third party be retained to assist with record keeping for the obligation and/or that the trustee or such third party be responsible for all or some portion of the compliance responsibilities. The Finance Clerk is additionally authorized to seek the advice, as necessary, of bond counsel, disclosure counsel, and/or its financial advisor to ensure the City is in compliance with this Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy.

Remit the form after the date in which the obligations are no longer outstanding (redemption or maturity date), whichever comes sooner, within 2 years of said date. g.

Documentation of allocations of obligation proceeds to expenditures (e.g. allocation of proceeds to expenditures for the construction, renovation or purchase of facilities owned and used in the performance of exempt purposes). i.

Usually responses to IRS inquiries are due within 21 days of receipt. Such IRS responses require the review of the above-mentioned data and must be in writing. As much time as possible is helpful in preparing the response. b. The Finance Clerk will consult with the City’s bond counsel, financial advisor and arbitrage provider before engaging in post-issuance credit enhancement transactions (e.g. obligation insurance, letter of credit, or hedging transaction). c. The Finance Clerk will monitor all “qualified tax-exempt debt obligations” (often referred to as “bank qualified” obligations) within the first calendar year to determine if the limit is exceeded, and if exceeded, will address accordingly. For obligations issued during years 2009 and 2010 the limit was $30,000,000. During this period, the limit also applied to pooled financings of the governing body and provides a separate $30,000,000 for each 501 (c)(3) conduit borrower. In 2011 and thereafter it is $10,000,000 unless changed by Congress. d. Identify any post-issuance change to terms of obligations which could be treated as a current refunding of “old” obligations by “new” obligations, often referred to as a “reissuance.” e. The Finance Clerk will consult with the City’s bond counsel prior to any sale, transfer, change in use or change in users of obligation-financed property which may require “remedial action” under applicable Treasury Regulations or resolution pursuant to the VCAP Program. i. A remedial action has the effect of curing a deliberate action taken by the City which results in satisfaction of the private business test or private loan test. Remedial actions under Section 1.141-12(d)(e) and (f) include the redemption of non-qualified obligations and/or the alternative uses of proceeds or the facility (i.e. to be used for another qualified purpose). f. The Finance Clerk will ensure that the appropriate tax form for federal subsidy payments is prepared and filed in a timely fashion for applicable obligations (e.g. direct pay or other tax credit bonds). 7. Continuing Disclosure Obligations a. Identify personnel at the City to be responsible for compliance with continuing disclosure obligations as defined by the Rule, and any covenants of outstanding obligations, and any policies of the City. b. The personnel responsible for compliance may have the ability to assign responsibilities, delegate where appropriate or engage a dissemination agent or third-party service providers to perform all or some of the duties described in this section. The City cannot delegate its compliance responsibilities. c. The City should specify how providers or delegated authorities will be monitored and supervised. d. The City should identify the documents that set forth the respective requirements being monitored at the time of closing of each obligation. e. The City should catalog all outstanding Continuing Disclosure Agreements and other reporting requirements and establish consolidated filing requirements. f. The City should identify the frequency of the actions to be undertaken to ensure compliance, establish a system or filing alerts or reminders to administer the filing and reporting requirements. g. The Finance Clerk for compliance must be made aware of any new outstanding debt, changes to obligation or loan covenants, events of acceleration or default that would materially affect investors. h. The City should review a compliance checklist to verify compliance with CDA and other reporting requirements, at least annually, although it may be advisable to provide more frequent reviews in connection to specific material events. i. The City should monitor for mandatory material events specifically identified in accordance with the Rule and file required notices within 10 days of occurrence. i. Principal and interest payment delinquencies. ii. Non-payment related defaults, if material. iii. Unscheduled draws on debt service reserves reflecting financial difficulties. iv. Unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting financial difficulties. v. Substitution of credit or liquidity providers or their failure to perform. vi. Adverse tax opinion, IRS notices or material events affecting the tax status of the obligation. vii. Modifications to rights of security holders, if material. viii. Obligation calls, if material. ix. Defeasances. x. Release, substitution or sale of property securing repayment of the obligations, if material. xi. Rating Changes. xii. Bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar event of the obligated person(s). xiii. Merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the obligated person, if material. xiv. Appointment of a successor or additional trustee, or change of name of a trustee, if material. xv. Incurrence of financial obligation of the City, if material, or agreement to covenants, events of default, remedies, priority rights, or other similar terms of a financial obligation of the City, any of which affect security holders, if material. xvi. Default, event of acceleration, termination event, modification of terms, or other similar events under the terms of the financial obligation of the City, any of which reflect financial difficulties. j. In addition to the mandatory material events, the City should review and file any additional or voluntary event notices. k. The City should maintain a catalog of all outstanding obligations whether publicly offered or privately placed, and the terms and conditions that govern default or acceleration provisions, if any. l. Any missed filing requirement should be remedied with a failure to file notice as soon as possible once the late filing is identified and the required information is available to file. m. Sensitive information such as bank accounts and wire information should be redacted from documents prior to posting on EMMA. n. The City needs to monitor for changes in law and regulations that effect continuing disclosure obligations and review disclosure policies and procedures periodically to ensure compliance and consistency with regulations and market expectations. 8. Compliance with Future Requirements a. Take measures to comply with any future requirements issued beyond the date of these Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Procedures which are essential to ensuring compliance with applicable state and federal regulations. 7 0 1 X E N I A A V E N U E S | S U I T E 3 0 0 | M I N N E A P O L I S , M N | 55 4 1 6 | 7 6 3 . 5 4 1 . 4 8 0 0 | W S B E N G . C O M City of Spring Park Memorandum To: Mike Anderson, City Administrator Spring Park City Council From: Lori Johnson, City Planner Date: May 27, 2026 for the June 1, 2026 City Council Meeting Regarding: ADU Ordinance On May 5, the City Council reviewed the proposed ADU ordinance, which had been discussed over the past several months, and requested additional information on one possible revision before final approval. The proposed ordinance requires all ADUs to be located on homesteaded property. This means the owner must maintain homestead status in Hennepin County and continue to treat the Spring Park property as their primary residence for tax purposes, which typically requires occupancy for more than half the year, or at least 183 days. For context, the city has 224 R-1 lots, 149 of which are homesteaded. Staff asked the City Attorney to review options for allowing seasonal residents to have an ADU on their property. His response is below: From the City Attorney: The council could chose to keep the proposed language as is “The owner of the property shall reside in the principal dwelling unit or in the accessory dwelling unit. The property must have a homestead status with Hennepin County.” Technically, this would seem to still allow the property owner to maintain the SP home as their primary residence, even if they leave for the winter, so long as they maintain their “homestead status” with the county. For clarity and ease of staff oversight/enforcement, however, it may make sense to add some language to clarify the council’s intentions. It could be as simple as: The owner of the property shall reside in the principal dwelling unit or in the accessory dwelling unit. The property must have a homestead status with Hennepin County. Temporary seasonal absences not exceeding ___ consecutive days and _____total days in any calendar year shall not be deemed a violation of this section. Or, you could add some additional language to simplify staff enforcement while the owner is away: ADU Memo May 27, 2026 Page 2 (7) The owner of the property shall reside in the principal dwelling unit or in the accessory dwelling unit. The property shall maintain homestead status with Hennepin County. Temporary seasonal absences by the owner are permitted, provided that: a. The property remains the owner’s principal residence and homesteaded under applicable Hennepin County standards; b. The owner does not establish a permanent residence elsewhere; c. At the time of application for an administrative permit, the owner designates a local responsible party authorized to receive notices and address maintenance or code- enforcement issues during the owner’s absence. If the City Council decides they want to keep the requirement for homesteading but allow for exceptions, the language could be changed as follows: (7) The owner of the property shall reside in the principal dwelling unit or in the accessory dwelling unit. The property shall maintain homestead status with Hennepin County or the owner must designate a local responsible party who is authorized to receive notices and address maintenance or code-enforcement issues during the owner’s absence. In summary, staff recommends one of the two following ordinance language changes: 1. Require homesteading but allow absences: (7) The owner of the property shall reside in the principal dwelling unit or in the accessory dwelling unit. The property shall maintain homestead status with Hennepin County. Temporary seasonal absences by the owner are permitted, provided that: a. The property remains the owner’s principal residence and homesteaded under applicable Hennepin County standards; b. The owner does not establish a permanent residence elsewhere; c. At the time of application for an administrative permit, the owner designates a local responsible party authorized to receive notices and address maintenance or code-enforcement issues during the owner’s absence. 2. Require homesteading or designate a responsible party: (7) The owner of the property shall reside in the principal dwelling unit or in the accessory dwelling unit. The property shall maintain homestead status with Hennepin County or the owner must designate a local responsible party who is authorized to receive notices and address maintenance or code-enforcement issues during the owner’s absence. Two draft ordinances have been prepared reflecting these options. At the meeting, the City Council may adopt the version it finds most appropriate.

This change would replace the current 46-day in-person absentee voting period at City Hall. The 18-day model maintains voter access, reduces confusion, and significantly improves the City’s ability to administer elections with existing staffing resources. Operational Challenges under the Current 46-Day Model • State law requires two trained election judges (preferably three) or authorized staff to be present whenever in-person absentee ballots are issued. • For a small administrative team, maintaining this coverage for six full weeks strains daily operations, disrupts service delivery, and diverts staff from core responsibilities. • The extended period also increases the risk of staffing gaps, training burdens, and procedural errors due to the length and complexity of the process. Voter Confusion under the 46-Day Absentee Process Many voters assume they can “vote early” by placing their ballot directly into a tabulator at City Hall. Under the 46-day absentee period, this is not allowed. Instead, voters must complete: • A voter certificate • A ballot • A three-envelope absentee packet These materials must then be couriered to the County, not tabulated on site. This mismatch between voter expectations and legal requirements leads to repeated confusion, frustration, and additional staff time spent explaining the process. City of Spring Park 4349 WARREN AVENUE, SPRING PARK, MINNESOTA 55384-9711 (952) 471-9051 FAX (952) 471-9160 WWW.CI.SPRING-PARK.MN.US Benefits of Transitioning to the 18-Day Early Voting Period The 18-day early voting period allows voters to complete their ballot and place it directly into the ballot tabulator, which aligns with what most residents expect when they come to City Hall to vote early. Key advantages: 1. Maintains Strong Voter Access • Residents still have 18 days of in-person early voting with on-site tabulation. • Absentee voting by mail remains available for the full 46 days, as required by state law. • Voters may still drop off mail ballots at City Hall, and staff will continue couriering them to the County. 2. Reduces Operational Strain • Staffing requirements become manageable and predictable. • City Hall can maintain normal service levels without prolonged disruption. • Election judges can be scheduled more efficiently and trained more effectively. 3. Eliminates the Most Confusing Part of the Process • The three-envelope absentee procedure is removed from in-person interactions. • Voters experience a straightforward, intuitive process that mirrors Election Day. 4. Aligns with Regional Practice • Surrounding cities (see grid below) have already adopted the 18-day model, are in the process of doing so, or are evaluating the transition. • Aligning with regional norms improves consistency for voters who move or work across city boundaries. Adopting the statutory 18-day early voting period strikes the right balance between voter accessibility, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. It preserves all legally required voting options while eliminating the most burdensome and confusing aspects of the current system. Staff believe this change will enhance the voter experience and allow the city to administer elections responsibly with available personnel.
