to sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code, and applicable
regulations. The City covenants and agrees not to take any action,
or knowingly omit to take any action within its control that, if
taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on the
Certificates to be includable in gross income, as defined in
section 61 of the Code, of the owners thereof for purposes of
federal income taxation. In particular, the City covenants and
agrees to comply with each requirement of this Section 23;
provided, however, that the City shall not be required to comply
with any particular requirement of this Section 23 if the City has
received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel
("Counsel's Opinion") that such noncompliance will not adversely
affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax
purposes of interest on the Certificates or if the City has
received a Counsel's Opinion to the effect that compliance with
some other requirement set forth in this Section 23 will satisfy
the applicable requirements of the Code, in which case compliance
with such other requirement specified in such Counsel's Opinion
shall constitute compliance with the corresponding requirement
specified in this Section 23.
(b) Use of Proceeds. The City covenants and agrees that its
use of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates will at all times
satisfy the following requirements:
(i) The City will limit the amount of original or
investment proceeds of the Certificates to be used (other
than use as a member of the general public) in the trade
or business of any person other than a governmental unit
to an amount aggregating no more than ten percent of the
Net Proceeds of the Certificates ("private -use
proceeds"). For purposes of this Section, the term
"person" includes any individual, corporation,
partnership, unincorporated association, or any other
-15-
entity capable of carrying on a trade or business; and
the term "trade or business" means, with respect to any
natural person, any activity regularly carried on for
profit and, with respect to persons other than natural
persons, any activity other than an activity carried on
by a governmental unit. Any use of proceeds of the
Certificates in any manner contrary to the guidelines set
forth in Revenue Procedures 82-14, 1982-1 C.B. 459, and
82-15, 1982-1 C.B. 460, including any revisions or
amendments thereto, shall constitute the use of such
proceeds in the trade or business of one who is not a
governmental unit;
(ii) The City will not permit more than five percent
of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates to be used in the
trade or business of any person other than a governmental
unit if such use is unrelated to the governmental purpose
of the Certificates. Further, the amount of private -use
proceeds of the Certificates in excess of five percent
of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates ("excess
private -use proceeds") will not exceed the proceeds of
the Certificates expended for the governmental purpose
of the Certificates to which such excess private -use
proceeds relate;
(iii) The City will not permit an amount of proceeds
of the Certificates exceeding the lesser of (a)
$5,000,000 or (b) five percent of the Net Proceeds of the
Certificates to be used, directly or indirectly, to
finance loans to persons other than governmental units.
When used in this Section 23, the term Net Proceeds of the
Certificates shall mean the proceeds from the sale of the
Certificates, including investment earnings on such proceeds, less
accrued interest.
(c) No Federal Guaranty. The City covenants and agrees not
to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its
control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the
Certificates to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of
section 149(b) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder,
except as permitted by section 149(b)(3) of the Code and such
regulations.
(d) Certificates are not Hedge Bonds. The City covenants
and agrees that not more than 50 percent of the proceeds of the
Certificates will be invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined
in section 148(f)(6)(A) of the Code) having a substantially
guaranteed yield for four years or more within the meaning of
section 149(g)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the City reasonably
-16-
expects that at least 85 percent of the spendable proceeds of the
Certificates will be used to carry out the governmental purpose of
the Certificates within the three-year period beginning on the date
the Certificates are issued.
(e) No -Arbitrage Covenant. The City shall certify, through
an authorized officer, employee or agent, that based upon all facts
and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on
the date the Certificates are delivered, the City will reasonably
expect that the proceeds of the Certificates will not be used in
a manner that would cause the Certificates to be "arbitrage bonds"
within the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and applicable
regulations thereunder. Moreover, the City covenants and agrees
that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Certificates
including interest or other investment income derived from
Certificate proceeds, regulate investments of proceeds of the
Certificates, and take such other and further action as may be
required so that the Certificates will not be "arbitrage bonds"
within the meaning of section 148(a) of the Code and applicable
regulations thereunder.
(f) Arbitrage Rebate. The City expects to qualify for an
exception to the requirements of the Code relating to rebate to
the United States, because the City will use at least 95% of the
Net Proceeds of the Certificates for local governmental activities
of the City and expects that the total of all tax-exempt
obligations (excluding "private activity" bonds) issued by or
attributable to the City during calendar year 1991 will not exceed
$5,000,000. If the City does not qualify for such exception, the
City will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement
that certain amounts earned by the City on the investment of the
"gross proceeds" of the Certificates (within the meaning of section
148(f)(6)(B) of the Code), be rebated to the federal government.
Specifically, the City will (i) maintain records regarding the
investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates as may be
required to calculate the amount earned on the investment of the
gross proceeds of the Certificates separately from records of
amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the City allocable
to other obligations of the City or moneys which do not represent
gross proceeds of any obligations of the City, (ii) calculate at
such times as are required by applicable regulations, the amount
earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the
Certificates which is required to be rebated to the federal
government, and (iii) pay, not less often than every fifth
anniversary date of the delivery of the Certificates and within
sixty days following retirement of the Certificates, all amounts
required to be rebated to the federal government.
(g) Information Reporting. The City covenants and agrees to
file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, not
-17-
later than the 15th day of the second calendar month after the
close of the calendar quarter in which the Certificates are issued,
an information statement concerning the Certificates, all under and
in accordance with section 149(e) of the Code and applicable
regulations thereunder.
24. Oualified Tax -Exempt Obligations. The City hereby
designates the Certificates as "qualified tax-exempt obligations"
for purposes of section 265(b) of the Code. In connection
therewith, the City represents (a) that the aggregate amount of
tax-exempt obligations issued by the City during calendar year
1991, including the Certificates, which have been designated as
"qualified tax-exempt obligations" under section 265(b)(3) of the
Code does not exceed $10,000,000, and (b) that the reasonably
anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations which will be issued
by the City during calendar year 1991, including the Certificates,
will not exceed $10,000,000. For purposes of this Section 24, the
term "tax-exempt obligation" does not include "private activity
bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code, other than
"qualified 501(c)(3) bonds" within the meaning of section 145 of
the Code. In addition, for purposes of this Section 24, the City
includes all governmental units which are aggregated with the City
under the Code.
25. Use of Proceeds. Accrued interest on the Certificates
and any premium will be deposited into the Interest and Sinking
Fund. The remaining proceeds of sale of the Certificates, together
with investment earnings on such proceeds, shall be used for the
purposes set out in Section 2 of this Ordinance, with any remainder
being deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund.
26. Official Statement. The City Council of the City
ratifies and confirms its prior approval of the form and content
of the Preliminary Official Statement prepared in the initial
offering and sale of the Certificates and hereby authorizes the
preparation of a final Official Statement reflecting the terms of
the Purchaser's bid and other relevant matters. The use of such
Official Statement in the reoffering of the Certificates by the
Purchaser is hereby approved and authorized. The proper officials
of the City are hereby authorized to execute and deliver a
certificate pertaining to such Official Statement as prescribed
therein, dated as of the date of payment for and delivery of the
Certificates.
27. Registrar. The form of agreement setting forth the
duties of the Registrar is hereby approved, and the appropriate
officials of the City are hereby authorized to execute such
agreement for and on behalf of the City.
-18-
28. Open Meeting. The meeting at which this Ordinance was
adopted was open to the public, and public notice of the time,
place and purpose of said meeting, was given, all as required by
Article 6252-17, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, as amended.
29. Emergency. It is hereby officially found and determined
that this Ordinance relates to an immediate public emergency
affecting life, health, property and the public peace, and that
such emergency exists, the specific emergency being that the
proceeds from the sale of the Certificates are required as soon as
possible for necessary and urgently needed improvements, and that
this Ordinance be passed and approved on the date of its
introduction.
PASSED AND APPROVED on first reading pursuant to Section 3.10
of the City Charter this 9th day of April, 1991.

ATTN: James O. DeShazer, City Manager
RE: $2,125,000 Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates
of Obligation, Series 1991
Dear Mr. DeShazer:
In connection with the delivery of the captioned Certificates (the "Certificates") on
May 9, 1991, the City has made certain covenants and representations regarding tax
exemption under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for the benefit of persons who may
own the Certificates at any time.
As we have done previously, we are sending this letter to discuss with you the
arbitrage covenants set forth in Sections 23(e) and 23(f) of the ordinance adopted on
April 8, 1991, authorizing the issuance of the Certificates (the "Ordinance") in which the
City promises to comply with the arbitrage rules of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
The discussion contained in this letter is supplemental to and explanatory of the matters
set out in the No-Arbitrage Certificate delivered at the closing and does not represent a
modification of the matters set out in such Certificate. As you know, the City's
compliance with the arbitrage covenants will be essential to the ability of the Holders of
the Certificates to treat interest on the Certificates as exempt from federal income tax.
Our opinion to the Holders of the Certificates explicitly states that we have assumed
continuous compliance by the City with the arbitrage covenants. Noncompliance could
cause interest on the Certificates to be taxable from the date of original delivery.
While this letter is intended to assist the City in monitoring its compliance with
the arbitrage covenants with respect to the Certificates, the letter is not a general
treatment of Federal arbitrage law and should not be used as a definitive reference on
arbitrage matters for any other bonds of the City. It is intended to deal only with these
Certificates. Furthermore, the complexity of the arbitrage rules does not permit this letter
to anticipate every possible circumstance that may arise with respect to the Certificates;
it does, however, address the basic rules as they will apply in most circumstances. As you
work with these arbitrage rules, we encourage you to call us with any questions you might
have.
The arbitrage rules are statutory rules set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as interpreted from time to time by Treasury Department regulations and rulings is-
sued by the Internal Revenue Service. Generally, the rules fall into two broad categories.
The first set of rules (the "investment rules") limits the amount that can be earned by
investing bond-related money. The second set of rules (the "rebate rules") is designed to
require the local governmental issuer to pay to the United States certain amounts of
"arbitrage profit" that may be earned under the investment rules. As set forth below,
however, the City should not be subject to the rebate rules with respect to the
Certificates.
There are other arbitrage rules dealing with how the yield on investments must be
calculated, and rules to prevent an issuer from making investments that have the effect
of "diverting" arbitrage profit to any person other than the United States. These latter
rules are designed to make the investment rules "work" from the federal government's
standpoint.
THE INVESTMENT RULES
A. In General
The investment rules are intended to restrict the amount the City can earn on
investments of bond-related money in obligations that are not tax-exempt obligations.
Therefore, an investment of money in fully tax-exempt investments (i.e., investments which
pay interest that is excludable from gross income under the Internal Revenue Code and
is not a specific item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum
tax) will always comply with the investment rules no matter what rate or yield is earned
on such investments.
The investment rules provide that certain categories of bond-related money may,
during certain limited periods of time, be invested in taxable investments without regard
to the yield on such investments. On the other hand, the investment rules require that
the yield on certain other categories of bond-related money invested in taxable invest-
ments must be restricted at all times after issuance of the Certificates.
-2-
Compliance with the investment rules will require that you be able to identify (i.e.,
account for, in terms of dates and amounts) the expenditures and investments of par-
ticular categories of bond-related money.
The categories of money associated with the Certificates for which you must be
able to identify expenditures and investments are as follows:
1. Project funds (including amounts used for construction and to pay
costs of issuance); and
2. Interest and Sinking Fund money.
The process of determining what amounts fall into each of these categories and the
investment rules applicable to each category are discussed below, on a category-
by-category basis.
B. Project Funds
"Project funds" include all amounts of money received from the sale of the
Certificates, including amounts received to pay costs of issuance, amounts deposited in the
City's Construction Fund to fund costs of the project, amounts deposited in the City's
Interest and Sinking Fund as accrued interest on the Certificates, and all earnings on the
investment of such amounts prior to their being expended by the City.
All project funds can be invested without restriction until May 9, 1994. If any
project funds remain unexpended after May 9, 1994, the unexpended portion remaining
on that date must, with one exception, be invested in either fully tax-exempt investments
or investments with a yield which on a blended basis does not exceed 6.71064 percent.
The one exception to this yield restriction requirement involves investment earnings,
which can be invested at an unrestricted yield for up to one year after the date of receipt
of such earnings.
C. Interest and Sinking Fund Money
Under the terms of the Ordinance, you are required to levy annually an ad valo-
rem tax sufficient to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Certificates. These tax
revenues will be deposited in the City's Interest and Sinking Fund established under the
Ordinance. Significantly, the Interest and Sinking Fund is a fund separate and apart from
the City's debt service fund maintained for its other obligations. Thus, amounts deposited
-3-
and held in the Interest and Sinking Fund are dedicated exclusively to payment of debt
service on the Certificates and will not be used to pay debt service on any other obliga-
tions. Furthermore, please note that there will need to be established before each year's
tax collections are received, an allocation percentage to establish the share to be
deposited in this new Interest and Sinking Fund. Note also that the separate legal nature
of this fund must be respected such that moneys on deposit in this fund (or any other
debt service fund) cannot be transferred to any other fund.
The income earned from investment of the Interest and Sinking Fund money will
remain in the Interest and Sinking Fund, will be reinvested and will be used (together
with reinvestment income therefrom) to make future payments of principal of, and interest
on, the Certificates.
The general rule is that Interest and Sinking Fund money can be invested at an
unrestricted yield. This general rule is not fully applicable to excess money in the Interest
and Sinking Fund. Excess money in the Interest and Sinking Fund is money in excess of
that amount necessary to pay annual debt service, which generally will be (i) the amount
in the Interest and Sinking Fund at the end of the City's preceding fiscal year, plus (ii)
the excess of the current year's tax collections over the current year's debt service and
plus (iii) all investment earnings during the current year on such amounts.
The legislative history of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 provides for the treatment
of excess Interest and Sinking Fund money as a "reasonably required reserve fund" which
may also be invested at an unrestricted yield, provided such amount does not exceed at
any time ten percent of the "original proceeds" of the Certificates, i.e., $212,500. Any
amount in excess of this amount which represents excess Interest and Sinking Fund money
must be invested at a yield which does not exceed 6.58564 percent, the yield on the
Certificates, except that the portion which represents investment earnings may be invested
unrestricted for a period equal to one year from the date of receipt. Remember that for
purposes of this rule, original proceeds of the Certificates (and investment earnings
thereon) deposited in the Interest and Sinking Fund for accrued interest were discussed
above as project funds and are not treated as Interest and Sinking Fund money. Based
on our understanding of the normal practice of the City, it is not likely that the excess in
the Interest and Sinking Fund will ever exceed the ten percent amount. Nevertheless, in
order to comply with the arbitrage covenants, you must continue to monitor the amount
of the excess Interest and Sinking Fund money and be prepared to restrict the yield on
the amount of such excess over the ten percent amount that can be invested unrestricted
as a reasonably required reserve fund.
-4-
If your excess Interest and Sinking Fund money approaches the ten percent amount
you may wish to contact us for more detailed instructions about the application of the
investment rules to the excess over the ten percent amount.
D. Minor Portion Exception
The arbitrage rules provide that an amount of money allocable to the Certificates
which does not exceed the lesser of five percent of bond proceeds or $100,000 (in the
case of the Certificates, $100,000) can be invested without restriction. This "minor
portion" amount is available for any category of money that is otherwise yield restricted,
but there is only one "minor portion" for all categories on a cumulative basis.
YIELD CALCULATIONS
As discussed above, the investment rules require that (i) if you have to make a
yield-restricted investment of project funds, the yield on such investment cannot exceed
6.71064 percent and (ii) if you have to make a yield-restricted investment of excess
Interest and Sinking Fund money, the yield on such investment cannot exceed the yield
on the Certificates. As set forth in the No-Arbitrage Certificate, the yield on the
Certificates determined in accordance with the arbitrage rules is 6.58564 percent.
The yield computation rules require that you compute the yield on restricted
investments on an actuarial basis. In other words, the yield on a restricted investment will
be that yield which when used as a discount factor in computing the present worth of all
payments of principal and interest to be paid on the restricted investment (based on
semiannual compounding) produces an amount equal to the lesser of the price actually
paid for, or the "market-price" of, the restricted investment (as determined under the
market-price rules discussed below).
Because the yield on the Certificates was computed on the basis of semiannual
compounding, you must also use the same compounding interval for purposes of
computing the yield on restricted investments.
Yield computations will not have to be made for unrestricted or fully tax-exempt
investments (i.e., tax-exempt investments the interest on which is not a specific item of
tax preference).
THE REBATE RULES
You informed us that the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt bonds issued by
the City during the 1991 calendar year was not expected to exceed $5,000,000. For
-5-
purposes of making that determination, you should have considered the amount of the
Certificates, any other bonds issued by the City, any short term borrowings by the City
including tax anticipation notes or lines of credit, and any lease agreements pursuant to
which the City will make payments a portion of which will be treated as tax-exempt by the
recipient.
Based on certain representations set forth in paragraph 14 of the No-Arbitrage
Certificate and the expectation that the aggregate face amount of the items described
above would not exceed $5,000,000 during the 1991 calendar year, the City is not subject
to the rebate rules with respect to the Certificates. If subsequent developments indicate
that the aggregate amount of such items issued during the 1991 calendar year does ex-
ceed $5,000,000, please contact us.
Because of the exception to the rebate rules described above which the City can
utilize, the covenants set forth in Section 23(f) of the Ordinance and paragraph 14 of the
No-Arbitrage Certificate should have been satisfied at closing.
THE MARKET PRICE RULES
The investment rules are designed to limit permissible arbitrage. The purposes of
the investment rules could be defeated if issuers were permitted to pay higher-than-market
prices for their investments (perhaps because such investments carry below-market rates)
with the intent of using such prices to reduce yields to the permissible limits. The
payment of higher-than-market prices for investments would have the effect of diverting
impermissible arbitrage (in the form of the excess price) to the persons from whom the
issuer purchased the investments. Therefore, included in the arbitrage rules is a set of
rules (the "market price rules") which prohibits arbitrage diversion by requiring that all
investments of money associated with the Certificates be acquired at arm's length without
regard to any yield restriction applicable to such investment.
In order to comply with the market price rules, all yield-restricted money associated
with the Certificates must be invested in investments (including deposits) which pay a yield
for which the City bargains at arm's length--the same as if such money had not been
subject to the arbitrage rules discussed in this letter. If the City accepts lower than an
arm's length yield, the market price rules will be violated resulting in a violation of the
investment rules.
There may be instances in which the market price rules permit no readily available
investments with a yield that meets your yield limitation for yield-restricted investments.
In those instances you will be required to invest the amount in question either in (i) fully
-6-
tax-exempt investments or (ii) United States Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness,
Treasury Notes and Certificates -- State and Local Government Series ("SLGS").
SLGS are investments purchased directly from the Treasury Department, which are
specifically tailored to meet the needs of state and local governments that have amounts
required to be invested in yield-restricted securities. An investment in SLGS, properly
structured, satisfies the market price rules by definition. You should note, however, that
SLGS are only allowed for yield-restricted money and that with one exception described
below, all yield-restricted money on hand at the time of the investment must be invested
in SLGS if any such money is so invested. With respect to a new type of SLGS, known
as special zero interest SLGS, less than all yield-restricted money on hand at the time of
the investment may be invested in such SLGS if certain other requirements are met.
There are a number of other limitations and technical requirements attendant to
the acquisition of SLGS. In the event the City is required to utilize SLGS as a yield-
restricted investment vehicle, we will be glad to discuss the SLGS program with you in
detail.
EFFECT OF NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THE ARBITRAGE RULES
Prior to enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the consequences of
post-issuance noncompliance with the arbitrage rules were considered by many to fall
short of the loss of tax-exempt status for interest on the bonds in question. Prior-law
statutory language and other authorities could be read, in effect, to permit issuers of
bonds to establish their compliance with the rules by stating, on the date bonds were
issued, their "reasonable expectations" that the proceeds would be invested in compliance
with the rules.
As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, existing law is much more strict in
terms of its compliance requirements than prior law. The City's reasonable expectations
are still important, and can be relied upon, for purposes of establishing that the
Certificates satisfy the sizing requirements of the arbitrage rules. These expectations are
set forth in the No-Arbitrage Certificate executed on behalf of the City in connection
with the sale of the Certificates. However, existing-law statutory language and legislative
history indicates that compliance with the investment rules (and the market-price rules and
yield computation rules which implement those rules) will be viewed as a matter wholly
within the control of the City, regardless of its expectations at the time of issue. Thus,
even if the City does not expect to have money on hand which will be required to be
invested in yield-restricted investments or fully tax-exempt investments, if ultimately such
money in fact exists, the City will be required to comply with the investment rules.
-7-
Noncompliance can cause interest on the Certificates to be considered taxable from the
date of issue.
Finally, inadvertent, insubstantial errors (e.g., in arithmetic) in connection with
attempts to comply with the rules will not result in the loss of tax-exempt status of
interest on bonds.
CONCLUSIONS
In closing, two observations are important. First, it must be emphasized that good
recordkeeping is essential. Recordkeeping must be on a category-by-category basis.
As discussed above, "good faith" is an important factor in determining the
consequences of noncompliance with these complicated rules. Good recordkeeping goes
a long way toward establishing good faith. In that regard, the City should review its
accounting system, and may want to consult with accountants, to determine the adequacy
of its system in light of the investment rules.
Second, when in doubt with no time to consult, remember that an investment in
fully tax-exempt investments will always satisfy the investment rules.
Finally, you should keep in mind that the arbitrage rules do change from time to
time as a result of Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service interpretations.
Therefore, you should consult with us, or other nationally recognized bond counsel, for an
update on developments in that area.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me (758-4516) or Cliff
Youngblood (758-2468).

Title:
THE MUNICIPAL BOND INVESTORS ASSURANCE CORPORATION INSURANCE POLICY
The following information has been furnished by Municipal Bond Investors
Assurance Corporation (the "Insurer") for use in this Official Statement.
Reference is made to Appendix for a specimen of the Insurer's policy.
The Insurer's policy unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full
and complete payment required to be made by or on behalf of the Issuer to the
Paying Agent or its successor of an amount equal to (i) the principal of
(either at the stated maturity or by an advancement of maturity pursuant to a
mandatory sinking fund payment) and interest on, the Bonds as such payments
shall become due but shall not be so paid (except that in the event of any
acceleration of the due date of such principal by reason of mandatory or
optional redemption or acceleration resulting from default or otherwise, other
than any advancement of maturity pursuant to a mandatory sinking fund payment,
the payments guaranteed by the Insurer's policy shall be made in such amounts
and at such times as such payments of principal would have been due had there
not been any such acceleration); and (ii) the reimbursement of any such
payment which is subsequently recovered from any owner of the Bonds pursuant
to a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such payment
constitutes an avoidable preference to such owner within the meaning of any
applicable bankruptcy law (a "Preference") .
The Insurer's policy does not insure against loss of any prepayment
premium which may at any time be payable with respect to any Bond. The
Insurer's policy does not, under any circumstance, insure against loss
relating to: (i) optional or mandatory redemptions (other than mandatory
sinking fund redemptions); (ii) any payments to be made on an accelerated
basis; (iii) payments of the purchase price of Bonds upon tender by an owner
thereof; or (iv) any Preference relating to (i) through (iii) above. The

Record Date when funds to make such interest payment are received

due interest, and notice of the date of payment and the Special
Record Date shall be sent by United States mail, first class
postage prepaid, not later than five (5) days prior to the Special
Record Date, to each affected Owner of record as of the close of

Registrar shall be bound by any notice or knowledge to the
contrary. All payments made to the person deemed to be the Owner
of any Certificate in accordance with this Section 11 shall be
valid and effectual and shall discharge the liability of the City

within three (3) Business Days after such presentation, a new
Certificate or Certificates, registered in the name of the
transferee or transferees, in authorized denominations and of the
same maturity and aggregate principal amount and bearing interest
at the same rate as the Certificate or Certificates so presented.
All Certificates shall be exchangeable upon presentation and
surrender thereof at the principal corporate trust office of the
Registrar for a Certificate or Certificates of the same maturity

aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of
the Certificate or Certificates presented for exchange. The
Registrar shall be and is hereby authorized to authenticate and
deliver exchange Certificates in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 12. Each Certificate delivered in accordance with
this Section 12 shall be entitled to the benefits and security of

Certificates in lieu of which such Certificate is delivered.

Certificate to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with the
transfer or exchange of such Certificate. Any fee or charge of the
Registrar for such transfer or exchange shall be paid by the City.

presentation and surrender to the Registrar of a mutilated
Certificate, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a replacement Certificate of like maturity,
interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. If any Certificate is lost,
apparently destroyed, or wrongfully taken, the City, pursuant to
the applicable laws of the State of Texas and in the absence of
notice or knowledge that such Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, shall authorize and the Registrar shall
-6-
authenticate and deliver a replacement Certificate of like
maturity, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
The City or the Registrar may require the Owner of a mutilated
Certificate to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith and
any other expenses connected therewith, including the fees and
expenses of the Registrar.
The City or the Registrar may require the Owner of a lost,
apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Certificate, before any
replacement Certificate is issued, to:
(1) furnish to the City and the Registrar
satisfactory evidence of the ownership of and the
circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such
Certificate;
(2) furnish such security or indemnity as may be
required by the Registrar and the City to save them
harmless;
(3) pay all expenses and charges in connection
therewith, including, but not limited to, printing costs,
legal fees, fees of the Registrar and any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed; and
(4) meet any other reasonable requirements of the
City and the Registrar.
If, after the delivery of such replacement Certificate, a bona fide
purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such
replacement Certificate was issued presents for payment such
original Certificate, the City and the Registrar shall be entitled
to recover such replacement Certificate from the person to whom it
was delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide
purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost
or expense incurred by the City or the Registrar in connection
therewith.
If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or
wrongfully taken Certificate has become or is about to become due
and payable, the City in its discretion may, instead of issuing a
replacement Certificate, authorize the Registrar to pay such
Certificate.
Each replacement Certificate delivered in accordance with this
Section 13 shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this
-7-
Ordinance to the same extent as the Certificate or Certificates in
lieu of which such replacement Certificate is delivered.
14 . Cancellation of Certificates. All Certificates paid in
accordance with this Ordinance, and all Certificates in lieu of
which exchange Certificates or replacement Certificates are
authenticated and delivered in accordance herewith, shall be
cancelled and destroyed upon the making of proper records regarding
such payment. The Registrar shall furnish the City with
appropriate certificates of destruction of such Certificates.
15. Optional Redemption. The City reserves the right, at its
option, to redeem the Certificates prior to maturity, on March 1,
2001, or any date thereafter, at par plus accrued interest on the
amounts called for redemption to the date fixed for redemption.
If less than all of the Certificates are to be redeemed, the City
shall determine the Certificates to be redeemed.
Principal amounts may be redeemed only in integral multiples
of $5, 000. If a Certificate subject to redemption is in a
denomination larger than $5, 000, a portion of such Certificate may
be redeemed, but only in integral multiples of $5, 000. Upon
surrender of any Certificate for redemption in part, the Registrar,
in accordance with Section 12 hereof, shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a Certificate or Certificates of like
maturity and interest rate in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion of the Certificate so surrendered.
Notice of any redemption identifying the Certificates to be
redeemed in whole or in part shall be given by the Registrar at
least thirty days prior to the date fixed for redemption by sending
written notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Owner
of each Certificate to be redeemed in whole or in part at the
address shown on the Register. Such notices shall state the
redemption date, the redemption price, the place at which
Certificates are to be surrendered for payment and, if less than
all Certificates Outstanding are to be redeemed, the numbers of the
Certificates or portions thereof to be redeemed. Any notice given
as provided in this Section 15 shall be conclusively presumed to
have been duly given, whether or not the Owner receives such
notice. By the date fixed for redemption, due provision shall be
made with the Registrar for payment of the redemption price of the
Certificates or portions thereof to be redeemed, plus accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption. When Certificates have
been called for redemption in whole or in part and due provision
has been made to redeem the same as herein provided, the
Certificates or portions thereof so redeemed shall no longer be
regarded as outstanding except for the purpose of receiving payment
solely from the funds so provided for redemption, and the rights
of the Owners to collect interest which would otherwise accrue
-8-
after the redemption date on any Certificate or portion thereof
called for redemption shall terminate on the date fixed for
redemption.

of the Registrar' s Authentication Certificate, the form of
Assignment, and the form of Registration Certificate of the
Comptroller which shall be attached or affixed to the Certificates
initially issued shall be, respectively, substantially as follows,
with such additions, deletions and variations as may be necessary
or desirable and not prohibited by this Ordinance, including any

18 . Interest and Sinking Fund; Tax Levy. The proceeds from
all taxes levied, assessed and collected for and on account of the
Certificates authorized by this Ordinance shall be deposited, as

Texas, Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation,
Series 1991 Interest and Sinking Fund" . While the Certificates or
any part of the principal thereof or interest thereon remain
outstanding and unpaid, there is hereby levied and there shall be
annually levied, assessed and collected in due time, form and
manner, and at the same time other City taxes are levied, assessed
and collected, in each year, beginning with the current year, a
continuing direct annual ad valorem tax, within the limits
-13-
prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the City sufficient
to pay the current interest on the Certificates as the same becomes
due, and to provide and maintain a sinking fund adequate to pay the
principal of the Certificates as such principal matures, but never
less than two percent (2%) of the original principal amount of the
Certificates each year, full allowance being made for delinquencies
and costs of collection, and such taxes when collected shall be
applied to the payment of the interest on and principal of the
Certificates and to no other purpose.
19. Pledge of Revenues. The revenues to be derived from the
operation of the City's water and sewer system, after the payment
of all operation and maintenance expenses thereof (the "Net
Revenues") , in an amount not to exceed $10,000, are hereby pledged
to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Certificates
as the same come due, to the extent that the taxes mentioned in
Section 18 of this Ordinance may ever be insufficient or
unavailable for said purpose; provided, however, that such pledge
of the Net Revenues is and shall be junior and subordinate in all
respects to the pledge of the Net Revenues to the payment of any
obligation of the City, whether authorized heretofore or hereafter,
which the City designates as having a pledge senior to the pledge
of the Net Revenues to the payment of the Certificates, and the
City also reserves the right to issue, for any lawful purpose at
any time, in one or more installments, bonds, certificates of
obligation and other obligations of any kind payable in whole or
in part from the Net Revenues, secured by a pledge of the Net
Revenues that may be prior and superior in right to, on a parity
with, or junior and subordinate to the pledge of Net Revenues
securing this series of Certificates.
20. Further Proceedings. After the Certificates to be
initially issued shall have been executed, it shall be the duty of
the Mayor of the City to deliver the Certificates to be initially
issued and all pertinent records and proceedings to the Attorney
General of Texas, for examination and approval. After the
Certificates to be initially issued shall have been approved by the
Attorney General, they shall be delivered to the Comptroller for
registration. Upon registration of the Certificates to be
initially issued, the Comptroller (or a deputy lawfully designated
in writing to act for the Comptroller) shall manually sign the
Comptroller's Registration Certificate prescribed herein to be
affixed or attached to the Certificates to be initially issued, and
the seal of said Comptroller shall be impressed, or placed in
facsimile, thereon.
21. Sale. The Certificates are hereby sold and shall be
delivered to
(herein referred to as the "Purchaser") , at a price of par, plus
accrued interest to the date of delivery, plus a cash premium of
-14-
$ , and the City Council hereby finds and determines that
such price is the best reasonably obtainable by the City after
advertising for and receiving sealed bids.
22 . Books and Records. So long as any of the Certificates
are outstanding the City covenants and agrees that it will keep
proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct
entries will be made of all dealings, activities and transactions
relating to the Certificates and the funds created pursuant to this
Ordinance, and all books, documents and vouchers relating thereto
shall at all reasonable times be made available for inspection upon
request of any Owner.
23 . Tax Exemption. (a) General Tax Covenant. The City
intends that the interest on the Certificates shall be excludable
from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation pursuant
to sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code, and applicable
regulations. The City covenants and agrees not to take any action,
or knowingly omit to take any action within its control that, if
taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on the
Certificates to be includable in gross income, as defined in
section 61 of the Code, of the owners thereof for purposes of
federal income taxation. In particular, the City covenants and
agrees to comply with each requirement of this Section 23 ;
provided, however, that the City shall not be required to comply
with any particular requirement of this Section 23 if the City has
received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel
("Counsel ' s Opinion") that such noncompliance will not adversely
affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax
purposes of interest on the Certificates or if the City has
received a Counsel 's Opinion to the effect that compliance with
some other requirement set forth in this Section 23 will satisfy
the applicable requirements of the Code, in which case compliance
with such other requirement specified in such Counsel ' s Opinion
shall constitute compliance with the corresponding requirement
specified in this Section 23 .
(b) Use of Proceeds. The City covenants and agrees that its
use of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates will at all times
satisfy the following requirements:
(i) The City will limit the amount of original or
investment proceeds of the Certificates to be used (other
than use as a member of the general public) in the trade
or business of any person other than a governmental unit
to an amount aggregating no more than ten percent of the
Net Proceeds of the Certificates ("private-use
proceeds") . For purposes of this Section, the term
"person" includes any individual, corporation,
partnership, unincorporated association, or any other
-15-
entity capable of carrying on a trade or business; and
the term "trade or business" means, with respect to any
natural person, any activity regularly carried on for
profit and, with respect to persons other than natural
persons, any activity other than an activity carried on
by a governmental unit. Any use of proceeds of the
Certificates in any manner contrary to the guidelines set
forth in Revenue Procedures 82-14, 1982-1 C.B. 459, and
82-15, 1982-1 C.B. 460, including any revisions or
amendments thereto, shall constitute the use of such
proceeds in the trade or business of one who is not a
governmental unit;
(ii) The City will not permit more than five percent
of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates to be used in the
trade or business of any person other than a governmental
unit if such use is unrelated to the governmental purpose
of the Certificates. Further, the amount of private-use
proceeds of the Certificates in excess of five percent
of the Net Proceeds of the Certificates ("excess
private-use proceeds") will not exceed the proceeds of
the Certificates expended for the governmental purpose
of the Certificates to which such excess private-use
proceeds relate;
(iii) The City will not permit an amount of proceeds
of the Certificates exceeding the lesser of (a)
$5, 000, 000 or (b) five percent of the Net Proceeds of the
Certificates to be used, directly or indirectly, to
finance loans to persons other than governmental units.
When used in this Section 23, the term Net Proceeds of the
Certificates shall mean the proceeds from the sale of the
Certificates, including investment earnings on such proceeds, less
accrued interest.
(c) No Federal Guaranty. The City covenants and agrees not
to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action within its
control, that, if taken or omitted, respectively, would cause the
Certificates to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of
section 149 (b) of the Code and applicable regulations thereunder,
except as permitted by section 149 (b) (3) of the Code and such
regulations.
(d) Certificates are not Hedge Bonds. The City covenants
and agrees that not more than 50 percent of the proceeds of the
Certificates will be invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined
in section 148 (f) (6) (A) of the Code) having a substantially
guaranteed yield for four years or more within the meaning of
section 149 (g) (3) (A) (ii) of the Code, and the City reasonably
-16-
expects that at least 85 percent of the spendable proceeds of the
Certificates will be used to carry out the governmental purpose of
the Certificates within the three-year period beginning on the date
the Certificates are issued.
(e) No-Arbitrage Covenant. The City shall certify, through
an authorized officer, employee or agent, that based upon all facts
and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on
the date the Certificates are delivered, the City will reasonably
expect that the proceeds of the Certificates will not be used in
a manner that would cause the Certificates to be "arbitrage bonds"
within the meaning of section 148 (a) of the Code and applicable
regulations thereunder. Moreover, the City covenants and agrees
that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Certificates
including interest or other investment income derived from
Certificate proceeds, regulate investments of proceeds of the
Certificates, and take such other and further action as may be
required so that the Certificates will not be "arbitrage bonds"
within the meaning of section 148 (a) of the Code and applicable
regulations thereunder.
(f) Arbitrage Rebate. The City expects to qualify for an
exception to the requirements of the Code relating to rebate to
the United States, because the City will use at least 95% of the
Net Proceeds of the Certificates for local governmental activities
of the City and expects that the total of all tax-exempt
obligations (excluding "private activity" bonds) issued by or
attributable to the City during calendar year 1991 will not exceed
$5, 000, 000. If the City does not qualify for such exception, the
City will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement
that certain amounts earned by the City on the investment of the
"gross proceeds" of the Certificates (within the meaning of section
148 (f) (6) (B) of the Code) , be rebated to the federal government.
Specifically, the City will (i) maintain records regarding the
investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates as may be
required to calculate the amount earned on the investment of the
gross proceeds of the Certificates separately from records of
amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the City allocable
to other obligations of the City or moneys which do not represent
gross proceeds of any obligations of the City, (ii) calculate at
such times as are required by applicable regulations, the amount
earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the
Certificates which is required to be rebated to the federal
government, and (iii) pay, not less often than every fifth
anniversary date of the delivery of the Certificates and within
sixty days following retirement of the Certificates, all amounts
required to be rebated to the federal government.
(g) Information Reporting. The City covenants and agrees to
file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the Treasury, not
-17-
later than the 15th day of the second calendar month after the
close of the calendar quarter in which the Certificates are issued,
an information statement concerning the Certificates, all under and
in accordance with section 149 (e) of the Code and applicable
regulations thereunder.
24 . Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The City hereby
designates the Certificates as "qualified tax-exempt obligations"
for purposes of section 265(b) of the Code. In connection
therewith, the City represents (a) that the aggregate amount of
tax-exempt obligations issued by the City during calendar year
1991, including the Certificates, which have been designated as
"qualified tax-exempt obligations" under section 265 (b) (3) of the
Code does not exceed $10, 000,000, and (b) that the reasonably
anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations which will be issued
by the City during calendar year 1991, including the Certificates,
will not exceed $10, 000, 000. For purposes of this Section 24, the
term "tax-exempt obligation" does not include "private activity
bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of the Code, other than
"qualified 501 (c) (3) bonds" within the meaning of section 145 of
the Code. In addition, for purposes of this Section 24, the City
includes all governmental units which are aggregated with the City
under the Code.
25. Use of Proceeds. Accrued interest on the Certificates
and any premium will be deposited into the Interest and Sinking
Fund. The remaining proceeds of sale of the Certificates, together
with investment earnings on such proceeds, shall be used for the
purposes set out in Section 2 of this Ordinance, with any remainder
being deposited into the Interest and Sinking Fund.
26. Official Statement. The City Council of the City
ratifies and confirms its prior approval of the form and content
of the Preliminary Official Statement prepared in the initial
offering and sale of the Certificates and hereby authorizes the
preparation of a final Official Statement reflecting the terms of
the Purchaser's bid and other relevant matters. The use of such
Official Statement in the reoffering of the Certificates by the
Purchaser is hereby approved and authorized. The proper officials
of the City are hereby authorized to execute and deliver a
certificate pertaining to such Official Statement as prescribed
therein, dated as of the date of payment for and delivery of the
Certificates.
27. Registrar. The form of agreement setting forth the
duties of the Registrar is hereby approved, and the appropriate
officials of the City are hereby authorized to execute such
agreement for and on behalf of the City.
-18-
28 . Open Meeting. The meeting at which this Ordinance was
adopted was open to the public, and public notice of the time,
place and purpose of said meeting, was given, all as required by
Article 6252-17 , Vernon' s Texas Civil Statutes, as amended.
29 . Emergency. It is hereby officially found and determined
that this Ordinance relates to an immediate public emergency
affecting life, health, property and the public peace, and that
such emergency exists, the specific emergency being that the
proceeds from the sale of the Certificates are required as soon as
possible for necessary and urgently needed improvements, and that
this Ordinance be passed and approved on the date of its
introduction.

CONDITIONS OF THE SALE
TYPES OF BIDS AND INTEREST RATES: The Certificates will be sold in one block on an "All or None"
basis, and at a price of not less than their par value plus accrued interest to the date of delivery of the
Certificates. Bidders are invited to name the rate(s) of interest to be borne by the Certificates, provided that
each rate bid must be in a multiple of 1/8 of 1% or 1/20 of 1% and the net effective interest rate for the
Certificates (calculated in the manner required by Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated Article 717k-2, as
amended) must not exceed 15%. The highest rate bid may not exceed the lowest rate bid by more than 1 1/2%
in rate. No limitation is imposed upon bidders as to the number of rates or changes which may be used. All
Certificates of one maturity must bear one and the same rate. No bids involving supplemental interest rates will
be considered. Each bidder shall state in his bid the total interest cost in dollars and the net effective interest
rate determined hereby, which shall be considered informative only and not as a part of the bid.
BASIS OF AWARD: For the purpose of awarding sale of the Certificates, the interest cost of each bid will be
computed by determining at the rate(s) specified therein, the total dollar cost of all interest on the Certificates
from the date thereof to their respective maturities, using the table of Certificate Years herein, and deducting
therefrom the premium bid, if any. Subject to the City's right to reject any or all bids and to waive any
irregularities,the Certificates will be awarded to the bidder(the"Purchaser")whose complying bid,based on the
above computation, produces the lowest net interest cost to the City.

is required. Such Good Faith Deposit shall be in the form of a Cashier's Check, which is to be retained

THE CERTIFICATES
Description of the Certificates:
The Certificates are dated May 1, 1991,bear interest from such date at the stated interest rates indicated under
"MATURITY SCHEDULE", which interest is payable March 1, 1992, and each September 1, and March 1
thereafter until maturity or prior redemption. The Certificates are issued in fully registered form in
denominations of $5,000 each or any multiple thereof. The Certificates are subject to redemption prior to
scheduled maturities on March 1, 2001 or any date thereafter at the option of the City. Upon redemption the
Bonds will be payable at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of
redemption. Principal of and interest on the Certificates are payable at the principal corporate trust office of
the First City, Texas - Houston NA., Houston,Texas. Interest on the Certificates will be payable by check or
draft, dated as of the interest payment date, and mailed by the Registrar to registered owners as shown on the
records of the Registrar.
The Certificates are transferable only on the certificate register kept by the Registrar upon surrender and
reissuance. The Certificates are exchangeable for an equal principal amount of Certificates of the same maturity
in any authorized denomination upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the principal corporate
trust office of the Registrar. No service charge will be made for any transfer,but the City may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The record date (the "Record Date") for the interest payable on any interest payment date means the 15th
calendar day of the month next preceding such interest payment date.
It will be required that all transfers be made within three business days after request and presentation.
The City has agreed to replace mutilated,destroyed,lost or stolen Certificates upon surrender of the mutilated
Certificates, or receipt of satisfactory evidence of such destruction, loss or theft, and receipt by the City and the
Registrar of security or indemnity to keep them harmless. The City may require payment of taxes,governmental
charges and other expenses in connection with any such replacement.
Source of Payment:
The Certificates,together with other outstanding debt on a parity with the Certificates(the"Outstanding Debt"),
are payable as to principal and interest from, and secured by, the proceeds of a continuing, direct annual ad
valorem tax,levied within the limits prescribed by law,against taxable property within the City and will be further
payable from a junior and subordinate pledge of the net revenues of the City's waterworks and sewer system in
an amount not to exceed $10,000 of such net revenues per annum. In the Ordinance, the City covenants that
while the Certificates are outstanding, it will levy, assess and undertake to collect such tax. See also"Remedies
in the Event of Default."

I^ AN
i r
Authority for Issuance:
The Certificates are being issued pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State
of Texas,particularly Sections 271.041-271.063,Texas Local Government Code, as amended, and the provisions
of an ordinance(the"Ordinance")adopted by the City Council on April 8,1991,and which specifically authorizes
the sale and issuance of the Certificates. Further reference to the Ordinance is hereby made. No election is
required as a prerequisite to the sale and issuance of certificates of obligation, unless a petition signed by 5%
of the qualified voters of the City is filed with the City Secretary protesting the issuance of such certificates prior
to the issuance.
Use of Proceeds:
Proceeds of the Certificates are being used to provide funds for a City park, senior citizens building and street
and drainage right of way and improvements. The proceeds will also be used to pay the costs of issuance of the
Certificates, including the Financial Advisor's fee and Bond Counsel's fee, both of which are contingent upon
the sale of the Certificates, as well as other administrative costs incurred.
Future Bond Issues:
Following the issuance of the Certificates, there will remain no Certificates authorized by the City. Currently,
the City Council has no plans to authorize additional certificates of obligation or bonds; however, the City
reserves the right to issue such certificates of obligation or bonds if authorized by the electorate. Depending on
the rate of development within the City,changes in assessed valuation,and the amounts,interest rates,maturities
and time of issuance of additional bonds, increases in the City's annual ad valorem tax rate may be required to
provide for the payment of the principal of and interest on the outstanding bonds, the Bonds, and such future
bonds.
Legal Investments in Texas:
Pursuant to Section 9 of the Bond Procedures Act of 1981,as amended,Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated
Article 717k-6 (the "Procedures Act"), all certificates issued by the City constitute negotiable instruments, and
are investment securities governed by Chapter 8, Texas Uniform Commercial Code, notwithstanding any
provisions of law or court decision to the contrary, and are legal and authorized investments for banks, savings
banks, trust companies, building and loan associations, savings and loan associations, insurance companies,
fiduciaries, and trustees, and for sinking fund of cities, towns, villages, school districts, and other political
subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas. The Procedures Act further provides that the Certificates
are eligible to secure deposits of public funds of the state, its agencies and political subdivisions, and are legal
security for those deposits to the extent of their market value. No review by the City has been made of the laws
in other states to determine whether the Certificates are legal investments for various institutions in those states.
Remedies in the Event of Default:
The Ordinance requires the City to assess and collect ad valorem taxes each year sufficient to pay principal and
interest when due on the Certificates. The Ordinance does not provide any other security for the payment of
the Certificates, or any express remedies in the event of default, and makes no provision for acceleration of
maturity of the Certificates in the event of default,and does not provide for a trustee to protect the rights of the
Certificateholder.
7
4111.o. IOW
Although a Certificateholder could presumably obtain a judgment against the City in the event of default in the
payment of principal or interest on the Certificates, such judgment could not be satisfied by execution against
any property of the City. A Certificateholder could, in the event of default,ask a court for a mandamus or court
order compelling the City to levy, assess and collect sufficient ad valorem taxes to pay principal of and interest
on the Certificates as it falls due on the Certificates or to perform the City's other obligations under the
Ordinance. Such remedy might need to be enforced on a periodic basis. The enforcement of a claim for
payment of principal or interest on the Certificates would be subject to judicial discretion, sovereign police
powers and the applicable provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws and to any other similar laws affecting the
rights of political subdivisions generally.

TAX DATA
General:
One of the City's principal sources of operational revenue and its principal source of funds for debt service
payments is the receipts from ad valorem taxation. See"FINANCIAL OPERATIONS OF THE DISTRICT -
Sources of Revenue". The following is a recapitulation of (a) the Texas Property Tax Code, including
methodology,limitations,remedies and procedures;(b)historical analysis of collection and trends of tax receipts
and provisions for delinquencies; and (c) an analysis of the tax base, including relative property composition,
principal taxpayers and adequacy of the tax base to service debt requirements;and(d) taxation that may add to
the City's taxpayers' tax costs.
Property Tax Code and County-Wide Appraisal District:
The Texas Property Tax Code (the "Property Tax Code") establishes for each county in Texas a single
appraisal district with responsibility for recording and appraising property for all taxing units within the county,
and a single appraisal review board,with responsibility for reviewing and equalizing the values established by the
appraisal district. The Property Tax Code requires the appraisal district, by May 15 of each year, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, to prepare appraisal records of property as of January 1 of each year based upon
market value. The chief appraiser must give written notice before May 15, or as soon thereafter as practicable,
to each property owner whose property value is appraised higher than the prior tax year or the value rendered
by the property owner or whose property was not on the appraisal roll the preceding year or whose property was
reappraised in the current tax year. Notice must also be given if ownership of the property changed during the
preceding year. The appraisal review board has the ultimate responsibility for determining the value of all
taxable property within the City; however, any property owner who has timely filed notice with the appraisal
review board may appeal a final determination by the appraisal review board by filing suit in a Texas district
court. Prior to such appeal or any tax delinquency date,however, the property owner must pay the tax due on
the value of that portion of the property involved that is not in dispute or the amount of tax imposed in the prior
year,whichever is greater, or the amount of tax due under the order from which the appeal is taken. In such
event, the value of the property in question will be determined by the court, or by a jury, if requested by any
party. In addition taxing units, such as the City are entitled to challenge certain matters before the appraisal
review board, including the level of appraisals of a certain category of property,the exclusion of property from
the appraisal records or the grant in whole or in part of an exemption.A taxing unit may not,however,challenge
the valuation of individual properties.
Although the City has the responsibility for establishing tax rates and levying and collecting its taxes each
year, under the Property Tax Code the City does not establish appraisal standards or determine the frequency
of revaluation or reappraisal. The appraisal district is governed by a board of directors elected by the governing
bodies of the county and all cities,towns,school districts and,if entitled to vote,the conservation and reclamation
districts that participate in the appraisal district. The Property Tax Code requires each appraisal district to
implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property to update appraised values. Such plan must provide for
reappraisal of all real property in the appraisal district at least once every three years. It is not known what
frequency of reappraisals will be utilized by the Brazoria County Appraisal District or whether reappraisals will
be conducted on a zone or county-wide basis.
Tax Rate Limitations:
Article XI, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution, provides for an overall limitation for Home Rule Cities of
$2.50 per$100 assessed valuation. The Attorney General of Texas follows a policy,with respect to Home Rule
Cities which have such a$2.50 limitation,of approving ad valorem tax bonds only to the extent that all of such
city's ad valorem tax debt can be serviced by a tax rate of$1.50 at 90% collection.
Property Subject to Taxation by the City:
Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all real and tangible personal property and certain
categories of intangible personal property with a tax situs in the District is subject to taxation by the District;
however,no effort is expected to be made by the Brazoria County Appraisal District to include on the tax roll
tangible or intangible personal property not devoted to commercial or industrial use. Principal categories of
exempt property include: property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions, property used for
public purposes; property exempt from ad valorem taxation by federal law, certain household goods, family
10
supplies, and personal effects; farm products owned by the producer; certain property owned by charitable
organizations,youth development associations,religious organizations,and qualified schools;designated historical
sites; solar and wind-powered energy devices; most individually-owned automobiles; and property of disabled
veterans, only to the extent of$3,000 of taxable property. In addition, taxpayers who are over 65 years of age
are entitled to apply for an additional exemption from market value of their residential homestead of$25,000.
These over 65 exemptions and disabled veterans exemptions amounted to $16,843,390 from the 1990 tax roll.
Voters of the State of Texas cast ballots on November 3, 1981, approving a state constitutional amendment
which permits local governments the option of granting homestead exemptions of up to 20% of market value
thereafter. The City has elected not to grant this additional exemption for the 1990 tax year.
An eligible owner of agricultural and timberland may apply to have such properties which meet certain
requirements appraised on the basis of productivity value or market value, whichever is less. The loss of value
due to property values based on productivity value on the 1990 tax roll approximate $18,681,170.
On November 7, 1989, voters of the State of Texas approved an amendment to the constitution of the State of
Texas which authorizes a property tax exemption for certain business personal property. The City Council has
the option to take official action to override the exemption and to continue taxing the property exempted by
the amendment. On December 11, 1989, the City's City Council took such official action to tax the property in
1990 and to disallow the exemption for 1991 and all future years. The City Council may elect to allow the
exemption in subsequent years which could result in a reduction of the City's tax base.
Notice and Hearing Procedures:
The Property Tax Code establishes procedures for providing notice and the opportunity for a hearing for
taxpayers in the event of certain proposed tax increases and provides for taxpayer referenda which could result
in the repeal of certain tax increases.The Property Tax Code also establishes a procedure for notice to property
owners of reappraisals reflecting increased properly values over $1,000, appraisals which are higher than
renditions, and appraisals of property not previously on an appraisal roll.
Levy and Collection of Taxes:
The City is responsible for the collection of its taxes, unless it elects to transfer such functions to another
governmental entity. By September 1 of each year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the rate of taxation is
set by the City Council of the City based upon the valuation of property within the City as of the preceding
January 1 and the amount required to be raised for debt service, maintenance purposes and authorized
contractual obligations.
The City Council may under certain circumstances be required to advertise and hold a public hearing within
the City on a proposed tax rate before the City Council can hold a public meeting to vote on the tax rate. If the
tax rate adopted exceeds by more than 8%the rate needed to pay debt service and certain contractual obligations
and to produce, when applied to the property which was on the prior year's roll, the prior year's total taxes
levied for purposes other than debt service and such contractual obligations,such excess portion of the levy may,
subject to constitutional restrictions on the impairment of existing obligations be repealed at an election within
the City held upon petition of 10% of the City's qualified voters.
Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill, and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year, or
on the first day of the calendar month next following the expiration of twenty-one (21) days after mailing of the
tax bills, whichever occurs later. A delinquent tax account incurs an initial penalty of six percent (6%) of the
amount of the tax and accrues an additional penalty of one percent(1 %) per month up to July 1,at which time
the total penalty becomes twelve percent(12%).In addition,delinquent taxes accrue interest at one percent(1%)
per month.If the tax is not paid by July 1,an additional penalty of up to fifteen percent (15%) may under certain
circumstances be imposed by the City. The Property Tax Code also makes provision for the split payment of
taxes, discounts for early payments, partial payments of taxes and the postponement of the delinquency date of
taxes under certain circumstances, however, the City does not permit such payments, except for those over 65
as stated in the new revision of the State Property Tax Code.
11
Collection of Delinquent Taxes:
Taxes levied by the City are a personal obligation of the property on January 1 of the year for which the
tax is imposed. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all taxes,
penalties and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property.The lien exists in favor of the State and
each taxing unit, including the City, having the power to tax the property.The City's tax lien is on a parity with
tax liens of all other such taxing units.A tax lien on real property has priority over the claim of most creditors
and other holders of liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien,whether or not the debt or lien existed
before the attachment of the tax lien. In the event a taxpayer fails to make timely payment of taxes due the
City, the City may file suit to foreclose its lien securing payment of the tax, to enforce personal liability for the
tax,or both. Whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the City
is determined by applicable federal law. In the absence of such federal law, the City's tax lien takes priority
over a tax lien of the United States. The ability of the City to collect delinquent taxes by foreclosure may be
adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, the foreclosure sale price attributable to
market conditions,the taxpayer's right to redeem the property within two years of foreclosure,or by bankruptcy
proceedings which restrain the collection of a taxpayer's debts.

Estimated Overlapping Taxes:
Under Texas law, if ad valorem taxes levied by a taxing authority become delinquent, a lien is created upon
the property which has been taxed, which lien is on a parity with any tax lien on such property in favor of the
City. In addition to ad valorem taxes required to retire the aforementioned direct and estimated overlapping
debt, certain taxing jurisdictions including those mentioned in Estimated Overlapping Debt are also authorized
by Texas law to assess, levy, and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance, administrative and/or
general revenue purposes.
Set forth below is an estimation of ad valorem taxes levied on a $50,000 single-family residence by such
jurisdictions, assuming the assessments are made at their claimed basis of assessment (100%). Such residence
is further assumed to be located within Brazoria County wherein substantially all of the residential property
within the City is located. No recognition is given to local assessments for civic association dues, fire department
contributions, or other charges made by other than political subdivisions.

i f
Pension Fund:
The City participates in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), an agency operated by the State
of Texas. Employees of municipal governmental entities who participate in TMRS contribute a fixed percentage,
currently 5%of their gross pay,and the municipal employer contributes twice such sum to TMRS. As employees
leave municipal employment other than through retirement, they may withdraw from TMRS those funds they
contributed, but forfeit their employer's contributions. Each municipal employer's requirements for current
contributions are offset by the amounts of such forfeitures.
As of March 1, 1990, the City employed 134 full-time employees and 8 part-time employees. All full-time
employees are covered by TMRS and the City's contribution for this fiscal year as of September 30, 1989,
amounted to approximately$144,239 which includes amortization of prior service cost over 25 years. The City
had an unfunded accrued liability for prior service benefits in the amount of approximately $831,965 as of
September 30, 1989. The liability for prior service benefits will be amortized over a period of twenty-five years
of less by contributions from the City which are a level percentage of payroll.

Consultants:
The City has retained several consultants to perform professional services in connection with the
independent auditing of its books and records and other City activities. Several of these consultants are identified
below:
Bond Counsel Vinson & Elkins
Houston, Texas
Certified Public Accountants Earl Lairson & Co.
Houston, Texas
18
LEGAL MATTERS
Legal Opinions:
The City will furnish the Underwriter a transcript of certain certified proceedings prepared incident to the
authorization and issuance of the Bonds, including a certified copy of the unqualified approving opinion of the
Attorney General of Texas,as recorded in the Bond Register of the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State
of Texas, to the effect that the Bonds, which the Attorney General will have examined, are valid and binding
obligations of the City under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas. The City also will furnish the
approving legal opinion of Vinson&Elkins,Bond Counsel,to the effect that,based upon an examination of such
transcript, the Bonds are valid and binding obligations of the City under the Constitution and laws of the State
of Texas. The legal opinion of Bond Counsel will further state that the Bonds are payable,both as to principal
and interest, from the levy of ad valorem taxes, within the limits prescribed by law, against taxable property
within the City. The opinion of Bond Counsel is expected to be reproduced on the back panel of the Bonds
over a certification by the City Secretary attesting that such legal opinion is dated as of the date of delivery of
and payment for the Bonds and is a true and correct copy of the original opinion. Errors or omissions in the
printing of such legal opinion on the Bonds shall not affect the validity of the Bonds nor constitute cause for the
failure or refusal by the Underwriter to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds.
No-Litigation Certificate:
The City will furnish to the Underwriter a certificate,dated as of the date of delivery of the Bonds,executed
by an authorized officer of the Board, to the effect that no litigation of any nature has been filed or is then
pending or threatened,either in state or federal courts,contesting or attacking the Bonds;restraining or enjoining
the issuance, execution or delivery of the Bonds;affecting the provisions made for the payment of or security for
the Bonds; in any manner questioning the authority or proceedings for the issuance,execution, or delivery of the
Bonds; or affecting the validity of the Bonds.
No Material Adverse Change:
The obligations of the Underwriter to take and pay for the Bonds, and of the City to deliver the Bonds,
are subject to the condition that, up to the time of delivery of and receipt of payment for the Bonds, there shall
have been no material adverse change in the condition(financial or otherwise)of the City subsequent to the date
of sale from that set forth or contemplated in the Preliminary Official Statement, as it may have been
supplemented or amended through the date of sale.
TAX MATTERS
Tax Exemption:
In the opinion of Vinson& Elkins, Bond Counsel, (i) interest on the Current Interest Bonds is excludable
from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law, ( ii) certain "original issue discount" on
the Capital Appreciation Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing
law as described more fully in "Tax Accounting Treatment of Capital Appreciation Bonds" and (iii) the Bonds
are not"private activity bonds"under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the"Code"), and interest
on the Bonds is not subject to the alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations, except as described
below in the discussion regarding the "adjusted net book income" and "adjusted current earnings" adjustments
for corporations.
19
The Code imposes a number of requirements that must be satisfied for interest on state or local obligations,
such as the Bonds, to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. These requirements
include limitations on the use of bond proceeds and the source of repayment of bonds, limitations on the
investment of bond proceeds prior to expenditure,a requirement that excess arbitrage earned on the investment
of bond proceeds be paid periodically to the United States and a requirement that the issuer file an information
report with the Internal Revenue Service. The City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance that it will comply
with these requirements.
Bond Counsel's opinion will assume continuing compliance with the covenants of the Bond Ordinance
pertaining to those sections of the Code which affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds
for federal income tax purposes and,in addition,will rely on representations by the City with respect to matters
solely within the knowledge of the City,which Bond Counsel has not independently verified. If the City should
fail to comply with the covenants in the Bond Ordinance or if the foregoing representations should be determined
to be inaccurate or incomplete, interest on the Bonds could become taxable from the date of delivery of the
Bonds, regardless of the date on which the event causing such taxability occurs.
The Code imposes a 20% alternative minimum tax on the "alternative minimum taxable income" of a
corporation(other than any S corporation,regulated investment company,REIT,or REMIC),if the amount of
such alternative minimum tax is greater than the amount of the corporation's regular income tax.The"Superfund
Revenue Act of 1986"also imposes an additional .12%"environmental tax"on the alternative minimum taxable
income of a corporation in excess of$2,000,000. Generally,for taxable years beginning in 1989, a corporation's
alternative minimum taxable income includes 50% of the amount by which a corporation's "adjusted net book
income" exceeds its alternative minimum taxable income. For later taxable years, a corporation's alternative
minimum taxable income will include 75% of the amount by which a corporation's "adjusted current earnings"
exceeds its alternative minimum taxable income.Because interest on tax-exempt obligations,such as the Bonds,
is included in a corporation's"adjusted net book income"and"adjusted current earnings,"ownership of the Bonds
could subject a corporation to alternative minimum tax consequences.
Under the Code,taxpayers are required to report on their returns the amount of tax-exempt interest,such
as interest on the Current Interest Bonds and original issue discount with respect to the Capital Appreciation
Bonds, received or accrued during the year.
Except as stated above(and as stated below in"Tax Accounting Treatment of Capital Appreciation Bonds")
Bond Counsel will express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax consequences resulting from the
ownership of, receipt of interest on, or disposition of, the Bonds.
Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations may
result in collateral federal income tax consequences to financial institutions, life insurance and property and
casualty insurance companies,certain S corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits,individual recipients
of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or
continued indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations. In addition, certain foreign corporations
doing business in the United States may be subject to the "branch profits tax" on their effectively-connected
earnings and profits, including tax-exempt interest such as interest on the Current Interest Bonds and original
issue discount with respect to the Capital Appreciation Bonds.These categories of prospective purchasers should
consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of these consequences.
QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS
Under section 265 of the Code, no deduction is allowed in the calculation of the federal income tax of a
financial institution for the portion of such financial institution's interest expense paid or incurred on
indebtedness which is deemed under the Code to have been incurred or continued to acquire or carry an
investment in tax-exempt obligations acquired after August 7, 1986. An exception to the foregoing provision is
provided in the Code for"qualified tax-exempt obligations,"which includes tax-exempt obligations,such as the
Bonds, if such obligations are (a) designated by the issuer as"qualified tax-exempt obligations" and (b) issued
by a political subdivision for which the aggregate amount of tax-exempt obligations(not including private activity
bonds other than"qualified 501(c)(3)bonds")to be issued by such political subdivision and all entities aggregated
with the issuer under the Code during the calendar year is not expected to exceed $10 million.
20
Y
%
The City expects to designate the Certificates as"qualified tax-exempt obligations"and has represented that
the aggregate amount of tax-exempt bonds(including the Bonds)issued by the City and the entities aggregated
with the City under the Code during calendar year 1990 is not expected to exceed$10 million and that the City
and entities aggregated with the City under the Code have not designated more than $10 million in "qualified
tax-exempt obligations" (including the Bonds) during calendar year 1990.
Notwithstanding the applicability of this exception,the fmancial institutions acquiring the Bonds will continue
to be subject to rules in effect under prior law which disallows the deduction of 20 percent of the interest expense
allocable to tax-exempt obligations, including the Bonds.

CONDITIONS OF THE SALE
TYPES OF BIDS AND INTEREST RATES: The Certificates will be sold in one block on an "All or None"
basis, and at a price of not less than their par value plus accrued interest to the date of delivery of the

each rate bid must be in a multiple of 1/8 of 1% or 1/20 of 1% and the net effective interest rate for the
Certificates (calculated in the manner required by Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated Article 717k-2, as
amended)must not exceed 15%. The highest rate bid may not exceed the lowest rate bid by more than 1 1/2%
in rate. No limitation is imposed upon bidders as to the number of rates or changes which may be used. All

be considered. Each bidder shall state in his bid the total interest cost in dollars and the net effective interest
rate determined hereby,which shall be considered informative only and not as a part of the bid.
BASIS OF AWARD: For the purpose of awarding sale of the Certificates, the interest cost of each bid will be
computed by determining at the rate(s) specified therein, the total dollar cost of all interest on the Certificates
from the date thereof to their respective maturities, using the table of Certificate Years herein, and deducting
therefrom the premium bid, if any. Subject to the City's right to reject any or all bids and to waive any
irregularities,the Certificates will be awarded to the bidder(the"Purchaser")whose complying bid,based on the
above computation, produces the lowest net interest cost to the City.

Deposit. In the event the Purchaser should fail or refuse to take up and pay for the Certificates in accordance

DELIVERY OF THE CERTIFICATES AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS
CUSIP NUMBERS: It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will appear on the Certificates, but
neither the failure to print or type such number on any Certificates nor any error with respect thereto shall
constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the Purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Certificates in
accordance with the terms of this Notice of Sale and the terms of the Official Bid Form. All expenses in relation
to the printing or typing of CUSIP numbers on the Certificates shall be paid by the City;provided,however,that

"MATURITY SCHEDULE", which interest is payable March 1, 1992, and each September 1, and March 1
thereafter until maturity or prior redemption. The Certificates are issued in fully registered form in
denominations of $5,000 each or any multiple thereof. The Certificates are subject to redemption prior to
scheduled maturities on March 1, 2001 or any date thereafter at the option of the City. Upon redemption the

records of the Registrar.
The Certificates are transferable only on the certificate register kept by the Registrar upon surrender and
reissuance. The Certificates are exchangeable for an equal principal amount of Certificates of the same maturity
in any authorized denomination upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the principal corporate
trust office of the Registrar. No service charge will be made for any transfer,but the City may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The record date (the "Record Date") for the interest payable on any interest payment date means the 15th
calendar day of the month next preceding such interest payment date.
It will be required that all transfers be made within three business days after request and presentation.
The City has agreed to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates upon surrender of the mutilated
Certificates, or receipt of satisfactory evidence of such destruction, loss or theft, and receipt by the City and the
Registrar of security or indemnity to keep them harmless. The City may require payment of taxes,governmental
charges and other expenses in connection with any such replacement.
Source of Payment:
The Certificates,together with other outstanding debt on a parity with the Certificates(the"Outstanding Debt"),
are payable as to principal and interest from, and secured by, the proceeds of a continuing, direct annual ad
valorem tax,levied within the limits prescribed by law,against taxable property within the City and will be further
payable from a junior and subordinate pledge of the net revenues of the City's waterworks and sewer system in
an amount not to exceed $10,000 of such net revenues per annum. In the Ordinance, the City covenants that
while the Certificates are outstanding, it will levy, assess and undertake to collect such tax. See also"Remedies
in the Event of Default."
6
Authority for Issuance:
The Certificates are being issued pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State
of Texas, particularly Sections 271.041-271.063,Texas Local Government Code, as amended, and the provisions
of an ordinance(the"Ordinance")adopted by the City Council on April 8, 1991,and which specifically authorizes
the sale and issuance of the Certificates. Further reference to the Ordinance is hereby made. No election is
required as a prerequisite to the sale and issuance of certificates of obligation, unless a petition signed by 5%
of the qualified voters of the City is filed with the City Secretary protesting the issuance of such certificates prior
to the issuance.
Use of Proceeds
Proceeds of the Certificates are being used to provide funds for a City park, senior citizens building and street
and drainage right of way and improvements. The proceeds will also be used to pay the costs of issuance of the
Certificates, including the Financial Advisor's fee and Bond Counsel's fee, both of which are contingent upon
the sale of the Certificates, as well as other administrative costs incurred.
Future Bond Issues:
- COPY TO COME -
Legal Investments in Texas:
Pursuant to Section 9 of the Bond Procedures Act of 1981,as amended,Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated
Article 717k-6 (the "Procedures Act"), all certificates issued by the City constitute negotiable instruments, and
are investment securities governed by Chapter 8, Texas Uniform Commercial Code, notwithstanding any
provisions of law or court decision to the contray, and are legal and authorized investments for banks, savings
banks, trust companies, building and loan associations, savings and loan associations, insurance companies,
fiduciaries, and trustees, and for sinking fund of cities, towns, villages, school districts, and other political
subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas. The Procedures Act further provides that the Certificates
are eligible to secure deposits of public funds of the state, its agencies and political subdivisions, and are legal
security for those deposits to the extent of their market value. No review by the City has been made of the laws
in other states to determine whether the Certificates are legal investments for various institutions in those states.
Remedies in the Event of Default
The Ordinance requires the City to assess and collect ad valorem taxes each year sufficient to pay principal and
interest when due on the Certificates. The Ordinance does not provide any other security for the payment of
the Certificates, or any express remedies in the event of default, and makes no provision for acceleration of
maturity of the Certificates in the event of default,and does not provide for a trustee to protect the rights of the
Certificateholder.
7
Although a Certificateholder could presumably obtain a judgment against the City in the event of default in the
payment of principal or interest on the Certificates, such judgment could not be satisfied by execution against
any property of the City. A Certificateholder could,in the event of default, ask a court for a mandamus or court
order compelling the City to levy, assess and collect sufficient ad valorem taxes to pay principal of and interest
on the Certificates as it falls due on the Certificates or to perform the City's other obligations under the
Ordinance. Such remedy might need to be enforced on a periodic basis. The enforcement of a claim for
payment of principal or interest on the Certificates would be subject to judicial discretion, sovereign police
powers and the applicable provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws and to any other similar laws affecting the
rights of political subdivisions generally.

TAX DATA
General:
One of the City's principal sources of operational revenue and its principal source of funds for debt service
payments is the receipts from ad valorem taxation. See "FINANCIAL OPERATIONS OF THE DISTRICT -
Sources of Revenue". The following is a recapitulation of (a) the Texas Property Tax Code, including
methodology,limitations,remedies and procedures;(b)historical analysis of collection and trends of tax receipts
and provisions for delinquencies; and (c) an analysis of the tax base, including relative property composition,
principal taxpayers and adequacy of the tax base to service debt requirements;and(d) taxation that may add to
the City's taxpayers' tax costs.
Property Tax Code and County-Wide Appraisal District:
The Texas Property Tax Code (the "Property Tax Code") establishes for each county in Texas a single
appraisal district with responsibility for recording and appraising property for all taxing units within the county,
and a single appraisal review board,with responsibility for reviewing and equalizing the values established by the
appraisal district. The Property Tax Code requires the appraisal district, by May 15 of each year, or as soon
thereafter as practicable, to prepare appraisal records of property as of January 1 of each year based upon
market value. The chief appraiser must give written notice before May 15, or as soon thereafter as practicable,
to each property owner whose property value is appraised higher than the prior tax year or the value rendered
by the property owner or whose property was not on the appraisal roll the preceding year or whose property was
reappraised in the current tax year. Notice must also be given if ownership of the property changed during the
preceding year. The appraisal review board has the ultimate responsibility for determining the value of all
taxable property within the City, however, any property owner who has timely filed notice with the appraisal
review board may appeal a final determination by the appraisal review board by filing suit in a Texas district
court. Prior to such appeal or any tax delinquency date,however, the property owner must pay the tax due on
the value of that portion of the property involved that is not in dispute or the amount of tax imposed in the prior
year, whichever is greater, or the amount of tax due under the order from which the appeal is taken. In such
event, the value of the property in question will be determined by the court, or by a jury, if requested by any
party. In addition taxing units, such as the City are entitled to challenge certain matters before the appraisal
review board, including the level of appraisals of a certain category of property, the exclusion of property from
the appraisal records or the grant in whole or in part of an exemption.A taxing unit may not,however,challenge
the valuation of individual properties.
Although the City has the responsibility for establishing tax rates and levying and collecting its taxes each
year, under the Property Tax Code the City does not establish appraisal standards or determine the frequency
of revaluation or reappraisal. The appraisal district is governed by a board of directors elected by the governing
bodies of the county and all cities,towns,school districts and,if entitled to vote,the conservation and reclamation
districts that participate in the appraisal district. The Property Tax Code requires each appraisal district to
implement a plan for periodic reappraisal of property to update appraised values. Such plan must provide for
reappraisal of all real property in the appraisal district at least once every three years. It is not known what
frequency of reappraisals will be utilized by the Brazoria County Appraisal District or whether reappraisals will
be conducted on a zone or county-wide basis.
Tax Rate Limitations:
Article XI,Section 5 of the Texas Constitution,provides for an overall limitation for Home Rule Cities of
$2.50 per $100 assessed valuation. The Attorney General of Texas follows a policy,with respect to Home Rule
Cities which have such a$2.50 limitation, of approving ad valorem tax bonds only to the extent that all of such
city's ad valorem tax debt can be serviced by a tax rate of$1.50 at 90% collection.
Property Subject to Taxation by the City:
Except for certain exemptions provided by Texas law, all real and tangible personal property and certain
categories of intangible personal property with a tax situs in the District is subject to taxation by the District;
however, no effort is expected to be made by the Brazoria County Appraisal District to include on the tax roll
tangible or intangible personal property not devoted to commercial or industrial use. Principal categories of
exempt property include: property owned by the State of Texas or its political subdivisions, property used for
public purposes; property exempt from ad valorem taxation by federal law, certain household goods, family

Pik intk
supplies, and personal effects; farm products owned by the producer; certain property owned by charitable
organizations,youth development associations,religious organizations,and qualified schools;designated historical
sites; solar and wind-powered energy devices; most individually-owned automobiles; and property of disabled
veterans, only to the extent of$3,000 of taxable property. In addition, taxpayers who are disabled or over 65
years of age are entitled to apply for an additional exemption from market value of their residential homestead
of$12,500. These over 65 exemptions and disabled veterans exemptions amounted to S16,843,390 from the 1990
tax roll.
Voters of the State of Texas cast ballots on November 3,1981, approving a state constitutional amendment
which permits local governments the option of granting homestead exemptions of up to 20% of market value
thereafter. The City has elected not to grant this additional exemption for the 1990 tax year.
An eligible owner of agricultural and timberland may apply to have such properties which meet certain
requirements appraised on the basis of productivity value or market value,whichever is less. The loss of value
due to property values based on productivity value on the 1990 tax roll approximate $18,681,170.
On November 7, 1989,voters of the State of Texas approved an amendment to the constitution of the State of
Texas which authorizes a property tax exemption for certain business personal property. The City Council has
the option to take official action to override the exemption and to continue taxing the property exempted by
the amendment. On December 11, 1989,the City's City Council took such official action to tax the property in
1990 and to disallow the exemption for 1991 and all future years. The City Council may elect to allow the
exemption in subsequent years which could result in a reduction of the City's tax base.
Notice and Hearing Procedures:
The Property Tax Code establishes procedures for providing notice and the opportunity for a hearing for
taxpayers in the event of certain proposed tax increases and provides for taxpayer referenda which could result
in the repeal of certain tax increases.The Property Tax Code also establishes a procedure for notice to property
owners of reappraisals reflecting increased property values over 1,000, appraisaLs which are higher than
renditions, and appraisals of property not previously on an appraisal roll.
Levy and Collection of Taxes:
The City is responsible for the collection of its taxes, unless it elects to transfer such functions to another
governmental entity. By September 1 of each year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the rate of taxation is
set by the City Council of the City based upon the valuation of property within the City as of the preceding
January 1 and the amount required to be raised for debt service, maintenance purposes and authorized
contractual obligations.
The City Council may under certain circumstances be required to advertise and hold a public hearing within
the City on a proposed tax rate before the City Council can hold a public meeting to vote on the tax rate.If the
tax rate adopted exceeds by more than 8%the rate needed to pay debt service and certain contractual obligations
and to produce, when applied to the property which was on the prior year's roll, the prior year's total taxes
levied for purposes other than debt service and such contractual obligations,such excess portion of the levy may,
subject to constitutional restrictions on the impairment of existing obligations be repealed at an election within
the City held upon petition of 10% of the City's qualified voters.
Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill, and become delinquent after January 31 of the following year, or
on the first day of the calendar month next following the expiration of twenty-one(21) days after mailing of the
tax bills, whichever occurs later. A delinquent tax account incurs an initial penalty of six percent (6%) of the
amount of the tax and accrues an additional penalty of one percent(1%) per month up to July 1,at which time
the total penalty becomes twelve percent(12%).In addition,delinquent taxes accrue interest at one percent(1%)
per month.If the tax is not paid by July 1,an additional penalty of up to fifteen percent(15%)may under certain
circumstances be imposed by the City. The Property Tax Code also makes provision for the split payment of
taxes, discounts for early payments,partial payments of taxes and the postponement of the delinquency date of
taxes under certain circumstances, however, the City does not permit such payments.
11
Collection of Delinquent Taxes:
Taxes levied by the City are a personal obligation of the property on January 1 of the year for which the
tax is imposed. On January 1 of each year, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all taxes,
penalties and interest ultimately imposed for the year on the property. The lien exists in favor of the State and
each taxing unit, including the City, having the power to tax the property. The City's tax lien is on a parity with
tax liens of all other such taxing units. A tax lien on real property has priority over the claim of most creditors
and other holders of liens on the property encumbered by the tax lien, whether or not the debt or lien existed
before the attachment of the tax lien. In the event a taxpayer fails to make timely payment of taxes due the
City, the City may file suit to foreclose its lien securing payment of the tax, to enforce personal liability for the
tax, or both. Whether a lien of the United States is on a parity with or takes priority over a tax lien of the City
is determined by applicable federal law. In the absence of such federal law, the City's tax lien takes priority
over a tax lien of the United States. The ability of the City to collect delinquent taxes by foreclosure may be
adversely affected by the amount of taxes owed to other taxing units, the foreclosure sale price attributable to
market conditions, the taxpayer's right to redeem the property within two years of foreclosure, or by bankruptcy
proceedings which restrain the collection of a taxpayer's debts.

Estimated Overlapping Taxes-
Under Texas law,if ad valorem taxes levied by a taxing authority become delinquent,a lien is created upon
the property which has been taxed, which lien is on a parity with any tax lien on such property in favor of the
City. In addition to ad valorem taxes required to retire the aforementioned direct and estimated overlapping
debt,certain taxing jurisdictions including those mentioned above are also authorized by Texas law to assess,levy,
and collect ad valorem taxes for operation, maintenance, administrative and/or general revenue purposes.
Set forth below is an estimation of ad valorem taxes levied on a $50,000 single-family residence by such
jurisdictions, assuming the assessments are made at their claimed basis of assessment (100%). Such residence
is further assumed to be located within Brazoria County wherein substantially all of the residential property
within the City is located. No recognition is given to local assessments for civic association dues,fire department
contributions, or other charges made by other than political subdivisions.

Pension Fund:
The City participates in the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), an agency operated by the State
of Texas. Employees of municipal governmental entities who participate in TMRS contribute a fixed percentage,
currently 5%of their gross pay,and the municipal employer contributes twice such sum to TMRS. As employees
leave municipal employment other than through retirement, they may withdraw from TMRS those funds they
contributed, but forfeit their employer's contributions. Each municipal employer's requirements for current
contributions are offset by the amounts of such forfeitures.
As of March 1, 1990, the City employed full-time employees and part-time employees. All full-time
employees are covered by TMRS and the City's contribution for this fiscal year as of September 30, 1989,
amounted to approximately$144,239 which includes amortization of prior service cost over 25 years. The City
had an unfunded accrued liability for prior service benefits in the amount of approximately $831,965 as of
September 30, 1989. The liability for prior service benefits will be amortized over a period of twenty-five years
of less by contributions from the City which are a level percentage of payroll.
Financial Statements:
A copy of the City's Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1990, is attached hereto
in the APPENDIX B. Copies of such statements for preceding years are available, for a fee, upon request.

the Capital Appreciation Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing
law as described more fully in "Tax Accounting Treatment of Capital Appreciation Bonds" and (iii) the Bonds
are not"private activity bonds"under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the"Code"), and interest
on the Bonds is not subject to the alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations, except as described
below in the discussion regarding the "adjusted net book income" and "adjusted current earnings" adjustments
for corporations.
19
AIM
The Code imposes a number of requirements that must be satisfied for interest on state or local obligations,
such as the Bonds, to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. These requirements
include limitations on the use of bond proceeds and the source of repayment of bonds, limitations on the
investment of bond proceeds prior to expenditure,a requirement that excess arbitrage earned on the investment
of bond proceeds be paid periodically to the United States and a requirement that the issuer file an information
report with the Internal Revenue Service. The City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance that it will comply
with these requirements.
Bond Counsel's opinion will assume continuing compliance with the covenants of the Bond Ordinance
pertaining to those sections of the Code which affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds
for federal income tax purposes and,in addition,will rely on representations by the City with respect to matters
solely within the knowledge of the City, which Bond Counsel has not independently verified. If the City should
fail to comply with the covenants in the Bond Ordinance or if the foregoing representations should be determined
to be inaccurate or incomplete, interest on the Bonds could become taxable from the date of delivery of the
Bonds, regardless of the date on which the event causing such taxability occurs.
The Code imposes a 20% alternative minimum tax on the "alternative minimum taxable income" of a
corporation (other than any S corporation, regulated investment company, REIT, or REMIC),if the amount of
such alternative minimum tax is greater than the amount of the corporation's regular income tax.The"Superfund
Revenue Act of 1986" also imposes an additional .12% "environmental tax" on the alternative minimum taxable
income of a corporation in excess of$2,000,000. Generally, for taxable years beginning in 1989, a corporation's
alternative minimum taxable income includes 50% of the amount by which a corporation's "adjusted net book
income" exceeds its alternative minimum taxable income. For later taxable years, a corporation's alternative
minimum taxable income will include 75% of the amount by which a corporation's "adjusted current earnings"
exceeds its alternative minimum taxable income.Because interest on tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds,
is included in a corporation's"adjusted net book income"and"adjusted current earnings,"ownership of the Bonds
could subject a corporation to alternative minimum tax consequences.
Under the Code, taxpayers are required to report on their returns the amount of tax-exempt interest, such
as interest on the Current Interest Bonds and original issue discount with respect to the Capital Appreciation
Bonds, received or accrued during the year.
Except as stated above (and as stated below in"Tax Accounting Treatment of Capital Appreciation Bonds")
Bond Counsel will express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax consequences resulting from the
ownership of, receipt of interest on, or disposition of, the Bonds.
Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations may
result in collateral federal income tax consequences to financial institutions, life insurance and property and
casualty insurance companies,certain S corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits,individual recipients
of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or
continued indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations. In addition, certain foreign corporations
doing business in the United States may be subject to the "branch profits tax" on their effectively-connected
earnings and profits, including tax-exempt interest such as interest on the Current Interest Bonds and original
issue discount with respect to the Capital Appreciation Bonds.These categories of prospective purchasers should
consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of these consequences.
QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS
Under section 265 of the Code, no deduction is allowed in the calculation of the federal income tax of a
financial institution for the portion of such financial institution's interest expense paid or incurred on
indebtedness which is deemed under the Code to have been incurred or continued to acquire or carry an
investment in tax-exempt obligations acquired after August 7, 1986. An exception to the foregoing provision is
provided in the Code for "qualified tax-exempt obligations," which includes tax-exempt obligations, such as the
Bonds, if such obligations are (a) designated by the issuer as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" and (b) issued
by a political subdivision for which the aggregate amount of tax-exempt obligations(not including private activity
bonds other than"qualified 501(c)(3)bonds")to be issued by such political subdivision and all entities aggregated
with the issuer under the Code during the calendar year is not expected to exceed $10 million.
20
.. a
. The City expects to designate the Certificates as"qualified tax-exempt obligations"and has represented that
the aggregate amount of tax-exempt bonds(including the Bonds) issued by the City and the entities aggregated
with the City under the Code during calendar year 1990 is not expected to exceed$10 million and that the City
and entities aggregated with the City under the Code have not designated more than $10 million in "qualified
tax-exempt obligations" (including the Bonds) during calendar year 1990.
Notwithstanding the applicability of this exception,the financial institutions acquiring the Bonds will continue
to be subject to rules in effect under prior law which disallows the deduction of 20 percent of the interest expense
allocable to tax-exempt obligations, including the Bonds.
