TO: The Honorable Chair and Trustees
Owasso Public Works Authority
FROM: Sherry Bishop
Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed Sales Tax Revenue Note, Series 2016
Resolution 2016 -03
DATE: September 30, 2016
BACKGROUND
Following the purchase of land, the City Council has been considering the design of new fire
and public safety training facilities. The project would be funded through the capital
improvements fund (third -penny sales tax). Long -term financing would be needed if the project
is to be built soon.
Anticipating council's approval to proceed with design and construction of the project, staff
met with financial advisors to develop a possible financing plan. The OPWA has worked with the
some advisors for many years. Municipal Financial Services, Inc. has served as financial advisor
to the City and the OPWA for about five years. Allan Brooks with The Public Finance Law Group
has served as bond counsel for more than 20 years.
Because of the current, extremely low interest rates, the recommendation is to proceed as soon
as possible toward locking in an interest rate with approval of a loan.
SALES TAX REVENUE NOTE, SERIES 2016:
Staff has reviewed current budgets and projected cash flow needs over the next several years
for all current capital improvement projects. In addition to funding the fire project, an objective
of this financing is not to delay other projects expected to be under construction in the next five
to six years.
The current cash flow available to fund capital improvement projects would be reduced by the
amount of new debt payments. In order not to delay projects expected to be ready for bid in
the next year, additional funding is recommended to supplement the existing cash on hand for
immediate projects.
The proposed Sales Tax Revenue Note would also include $3.5 million for stormwater projects
currently in design and expected to be under construction within a year. The Note would be
repaid by the third -penny sales tax.
RESOLUTION:
Resolution 2016 -13 would approve professional services agreements with Municipal Financial
Services as financial advisor and with The Public Finance Law Group as bond counsel. An
agreement with each firm is attached. The fee for each firm is 1% of the principal amount of the
Note, not to exceed $175,000, plus expenses of $2,500.
The resolution grants preliminary authorization for the issuance of a Sales Tax Revenue Note. The
Authority is not obligated to complete or approve the loan transaction.
Additionally, the resolution directs Bond Counsel and Financial Advisor to proceed with
structuring the Note. This allows Bond Counsel and Financial Advisor to proceed as necessary to
solicit bids from banks for the financing.
PROPOSED ACTION:
Approval of the resolution serves as preliminary approval to seek bids for financing capital
improvement projects.
The October 11 work session meeting will provide an opportunity to review the proposed
financing. Final action on the proposed loan is anticipated on the November 1 agenda and
would require approval by both the City Council and the OPWA Trustees. OPWA debt requires
approval by a 3/4 vote of the Trustees and the Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of OPWA Resolution 2016 -03 approving professional services
agreements; providing preliminary approval with respect to the issuance of the Authority's Sales
Tax Revenue Note, Series 2016; and containing other provisions relating thereto.

IV, Successors mad Assigns
MFSOK may not assign its obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of
Authority except to a successor partnership or corporation to which all or substantially all of the assets
and operations of MFSOK are transferred. Authority may assign its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to (but only to) any other public entity that issues the Note (if not the Authority). Authority
shall not otherwise assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without written consent of
MFSOK. All references to MFSOK and Authority in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to any
successor of MFSOK and to any such assignee of Authority and shall bind and inure to the benefit of
such successor and assignee whether so expressed or not.
R Municipal Advisor Registration and Acknowledgement
Authority hereby acknowledges that MFSOK is registered as a Municipal Advisor pursuant to
applicable Securities and Exchange Commission ( "SEC ") and Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board
( "MSRB ") rules and regulations. Authority further acknowledges receipt of MFSOK's Form ADV
Part 2A Brochure and 213 Brochure Supplements as required by the SEC and Oklahoma Department of
Securities prior to entering into this Agreement.
VL Conflict of Interest Statement
As of the date of this agreement, MFSOK has performed a reasonable diligence to determine if
there are any conflicts of interest that should be brought to the attention of the Authority. During the
diligence process, MFSOK has determined that no material conflict of interest has been identified.
Since the compensation arrangement included in Section tI includes a component that is based
on the completion of a transaction, this may be viewed as a conflict of interest regarding our ability to
provide unbiased advice to enter into such transaction. This viewed conflict of interest will not impair
MFSOK's ability to render unbiased and competent advice to the Authority. The fee paid to MFSOK
increases the cost of borrowing to the Authority. The increased cost occurs from compensating
MFSOK for municipal advisory services provided.
3
If MFSOK becomes aware of any, actual or potential conflict of interest not mentioned above
during this agreement, MFSOK will promptly provide the Authority a supplement written disclosure
with sufficient details of the change, if any, which will allow the Authority to evaluate the situation.
VIL Lezal Events and Disciplinary History
MFSOK does not have any legal events and disciplinary history on its Form MA and Form
MA -I, which includes information about any criminal actions, regulatory actions, investigations,
terminations, judgments, liens, civil judicial actions, customer complaints, arbitrations and civil
litigation. The Authority may electronically access MFSOK's most recent Form MA and each most
recent Form MA -I filed with the Commission at the following website:
wwwsec.2 ov/ edear /seareliedear /compamsearch html.
There have been no material changes to a legal or disciplinary event disclosure on any Form
MA or Form MA -I filed with the SEC.
VIII. Fiduciary Duty
MFSOK is registered as a Municipal Advisor with the SEC and Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board ( "MSRB "). As such, MFSOK has a Fiduciary duty to the Authority and must
provide both a Duty of Care and a Duty of Loyalty that entails the following.
Duty of Care:
A. exercise due care in performing its municipal advisory activities;
B. possess the degree of knowledge and expertise needed to provide the Authority with
informed advice;
C. make a reasonable inquiry as to the facts that are relevant to the Authority's
determination as to whether to proceed with a course of action or that form the basis
for any advice provided to the Authority; and
D. undertake a reasonable investigation to determine that MFSOK is not forming any
recommendation on materially inaccurate or incomplete information; MFSOK must
have a reasonable basis for:
a. any advice provided to or on behalf of the Authority;
b. any representations made in a certificate that it signs that will be reasonably
foreseeably relied upon by the Authority, any other party involved in the

in the Authority securities; and
c. any information provided to the Authority or other parties involved in the
municipal securities transaction in connection with the preparation of an
official statement.
Duty of Loyalty:
MFSOK must deal honestly and with the utmost good faith with the Authority and act in the
Authority's best interests without regard to the financial or other interests of MFSOK. MFSOK will

municipal financial product is suitable for the Authority. In addition, MFSOK will inform the Authority
of.

characteristics of the recommendation;

Authority; and
C. whether MFSOK has investigated or considered other reasonably feasible alternatives

objectives.

AGREEMENT FOR BOND COUNSEL SERVICES
THE OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
SALES TAX REVENUE NOTE, SERIES 2016
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of October 4, 2016, by and between THE
PUBLIC FINANCE LAW GROUP PLLC ( "PFLG ") and THE OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS
AUTHORITY (the "Issuer "), a public trust with the City of Owasso, Oklahoma (the "City ") as
its beneficiary, as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to engage PFLG as bond counsel in connection with the
financing of certain capital improvements as contemplated by Ordinance No. 763 of the City, along
with related costs (the "Project "); and
WHEREAS, to finance all or a portion of the costs of the Project, the Issuer intends to
issue its Sales Tax Revenue Note, Series 2016 in the approximate principal amount of $21.3 million
(the "Note "); and
WHEREAS, PFLG possesses the necessary professional capabilities and resources to
provide the legal services required by Issuer as described in this Agreement.
AGREEMENTS
1. Scone of Services.
A. Bond Counsel Services. PFLG will render the following services as bond counsel
to the Issuer:
(1) Consultation with representatives of the Issuer and the City, including the City
Manager, City Attorney, Issuer's Counsel, Finance Director, financing and
accounting staff, financial advisors, and others, with respect to the timing, terms
and legal structure of the proposed financing.
(2) Preparation of loan, security and other authorizing documents (the "Financing
Documents ").
(3) Review of documentation with respect to any letter of credit, bond insurance
and /or reserve fund surety policy provided in connection with the Note, if any.
(4) Attendance at such meetings or hearings of the Issuer and the City and working
group meetings or conference calls as the Issuer may request, and assistance to the
Issuer staff in preparation of such explanations or presentations to the governing
body of the Issuer and the City as they may request.
(5) Preparation of final closing papers to be executed by the Issuer required to effect
delivery of the Note and coordination of the Note closing.
(6) Rendering of bond counsel's customary final legal opinion on the validity of the
securities and, with respect to the tax- exempt securities, the exemption from gross
income for federal income tax purposes and from Oklahoma personal income tax
of interest thereon.
PFLG and Issuer acknowledge that Issuer shall be represented by Julie Lombardi, Esq.,
City Attorney ("Issuer's Counsel ") for the purpose of rendering day -to -day and ongoing general
counsel legal services. PFLG shall circulate documents to and coordinate its services with
Issuer's Counsel to the extent requested by Issuer or Issuer's Counsel.
PFLG and Issuer further acknowledge that the Issuer shall be represented by Municipal
Finance Services, Inc., a municipal advisor pursuant to the terms of SEC Rule 1513a1 -1 (referred
to herein as an "Independent Registered Municipal Advisor" or "IRMA "). PFLG is a firm of
attorneys who provide legal advice or services of a traditional legal nature to a client, and PFLG
and its attorneys do not represent themselves to be a financial advisor or financial expert.
Therefore, PFLG is excluded from the definition of Municipal Advisor, and PFLG does not
intend to provide any advice with respect to municipal financial products or the issuance of
municipal securities outside of the scope of traditional legal services and advice customarily
rendered by bond counsel in public finance transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event certain advice may be construed as beyond the scope of traditional legal services, the
Issuer specifically acknowledges that PFLG may avail itself of the IRMA exemption under SEC
Rule 1513a1 -I on the basis that (i) the Issuer is represented by an Independent Registered
Municipal Advisor not associated with PFLG, (ii) the Issuer hereby advises PFLG that the Issuer
is represented by and will rely on the advice of its duly retained Independent Registered
Municipal Advisor, and (iii) the Issuer has been advised that PFLG is not a municipal advisor
and PFLG owes no federal statutory fiduciary duty to the Issuer.
In rendering opinions and performing legal services under this Agreement, PFLG shall be
entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of information provided, certifications made
by, and opinions provided by counsel to, Issuer, the Independent Registered Municipal Advisor,
property owners and other parties and consultants, without independent investigation or
verification.
PFLG's services are limited to those specifically set forth above. PFLG's services do not
include representation of Issuer or any other party to the transaction in any litigation or other
legal or administrative proceeding involving the Note, the Project or any other matter. PFLG's
N
services also do not include any responsibility for compliance with state blue sky, environmental,
land use, real estate or similar laws or for title to or perfection of security interests in real or
personal property. PFLG will not be responsible for preparing, reviewing, or opining with
respect to the Issuer's Official Statement and /or any Continuing Disclosure Undertakings for the
Note, including but not limited to the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the Official
Statement, Continuing Disclosure Undertaking, or other offering material relating to the Note.
PFLG's services do not include any financial advice or analysis. PFLG will not be responsible
for the services performed or acts or omissions of any other participant. Also, PFLG's services
will not extend past the date of issuance of the Note and will not, for example, include services
related to rebate compliance or continuing disclosure or otherwise related to the Note, proceeds
of the Note, or the Project after issuance of the Note.
2. Compensation and Reimbursements.
A. Compensation for Bond Counsel Services. For services as bond counsel to the
Issuer, PFLG shall be paid a fixed fee at the time of issuance of the Note of one percent
(1.0 %) of the principal amount of the Note, subject to a maximum fee not to exceed
$175,000.00.
B. Expenses. PFLG shall also be paid a fixed amount of $2,500.00 to cover
expenses and transcript production and distribution, provided, that any filing, publication,
recording or printing costs or similar third party costs required in connection with the
Note shall be paid directly by the Issuer, but if paid by PFLG on behalf of the Issuer,
shall be reimbursed to PFLG on demand.
C. Payment. Fees and expenses shall be payable by Issuer at the time of issuance of
the Note. Payment of all fees and expenses hereunder shall be made at closing from
proceeds of the Note and shall be entirely contingent upon issuance of the Note.
D. Termination of Agreement and Legal Services. This Agreement and all legal
services to be rendered under it may be terminated at any time by written notice from
either party, with or without cause. In that event, all finished and unfinished documents
prepared for adoption or execution by Issuer, shall, at the option of Issuer, become its
property and shall be delivered to it or to any party it may designate; provided that PFLG
shall have no liability whatsoever for any subsequent use of such documents. In the
event of termination by Issuer, PFLG shall be paid for all satisfactory work, unless the
termination is made for cause, in which event compensation, if any, shall be adjusted in
the light of the particular facts and circumstances involved in the termination. If not
sooner terminated as aforesaid, this Agreement and all legal services to be rendered under
it shall terminate upon issuance of the Note; provided that Issuer shall remain liable for
any unpaid compensation or reimbursement due under Section 2 hereof. Upon
termination, PFLG shall have no future duty of any kind to or with respect to the Note or
the Issuer.

3. Nature of Engagement; Relationships With Other Parties
The role of bond counsel, generally, is to prepare or review the procedures for issuance of
the bonds, notes or other evidence of indebtedness and to provide an expert legal opinion with
respect to the validity thereof and other subjects addressed by the opinion. Consistent with the
historical origin and unique role of such counsel, and reliance thereon by the public finance
market, PFLG's role as bond counsel under this Agreement is to provide an opinion and related
legal services that represent an objective judgment on the matters addressed rather than the
partisan position of an advocate.
In performing its services in connection with the Note, PFLG will act as special counsel
to Issuer with respect to issuance of the Note; i.e., PFLG will assist the Issuer's Counsel in
representing Issuer but only with respect to validity of the Note and the Financing Documents,
and the tax status of interest on the Note, in a manner not inconsistent with the role of bond
counsel described above.
Issuer acknowledges that PFLG regularly performs legal services for many private and
public entities in connection with a wide variety of matters. For example, PFLG has represented,
is representing or may in the future represent other public entities, underwriters, trustees, rating
agencies, insurers, credit enhancement providers, lenders, contractors, suppliers, financial and
other consultants /advisors, accountants, investment providers /brokers, providers/brokers of
derivative products and others who may have a role or interest in the Note financing or the
Project or that may be involved with or adverse to Issuer in this or some other matter. PFLG
agrees not to represent any such entity in connection with the Note financing, without the
consent of Issuer. Given the special, limited role of bond counsel described above, Issuer
acknowledges that no conflict of interest exists or would exist, and waives any conflict of interest
that might appear actually or potentially to exist, now or in the future, by virtue of this
Agreement or any such other attorney - client relationship that PFLG may have had, have or enter
into, and Issuer specifically consents to any and all such relationships.
4. Limitation of Rights to Parties; Successor and Assigns.
Nothing in this Agreement or in any of the documents contemplated hereby, expressed or
implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than Issuer and PFLG any
legal or equitable right or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall
inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of Issuer and PFLG.
PFLG may not assign its obligations under this Agreement without written consent of
Issuer except to a successor partnership or corporation to which all or substantially all of the
assets and operations of PFLG are transferred. Issuer may assign its rights and obligations under
this Agreement to (but only to) any other public entity that issues the Note (if not the Issuer).
Issuer shall not otherwise assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without written
consent of PFLG. All references to PFLG and Issuer in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer
M
to any such successor of PFLG and to any such assignee of Issuer and shall bind and inure to the
benefit of such successor and assignee whether so expressed or not.
5. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each counterpart
shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same Agreement.
6. Notices.
Any and all notice pertaining to this Agreement shall be sent by U.S. Postal Service, first
class, postage prepaid to:
