RESOLUTION RELATING TO

FINANCING OF CERTAIN PROPOSED PROJECTS TO BE UNDERTAKEN

BY THE COUNTY; ESTABLISHING COMPLIANCE WITH REIMBURSEMENT

BOND REGULATIONS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE

BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners (the “Board”) of Blue Earth County, Minnesota (the “County”), as follows:

1. Recitals. (a) The Internal Revenue Service has issued Section 1.150-2 of the

Income Tax Regulations (the “Regulations”) dealing with the issuance of bonds, all or a portion of the proceeds of which are to be used to reimburse the County for project expenditures made by the County prior to the date of issuance.

(b) The Regulations generally require that the County make a

declaration of its official intent to reimburse itself for such prior expenditures out of the proceeds of a subsequently issued series of bonds within 60 days after payment of the expenditures, that the bonds be issued and the reimbursement allocation be made from the proceeds of such bonds within the reimbursement period (as defined in the Regulations), and that the expenditures reimbursed be capital expenditures or costs of issuance of the bonds.

(c) The County desires to comply with requirements of the

Regulations with respect to certain projects hereinafter identified.

2. Official Intent Declaration. (a) The County proposes to undertake the following project or projects

and to make original expenditures with respect thereto prior to the issuance of reimbursement bonds, and reasonably expects to issue reimbursement bonds for such project or projects in the maximum principal amounts shown below:

8

Maximum Amount of Bonds

Project Expected to be Issued for Project CD 34 improvement $2,400,000.00

(b) Other than (i) de minimis amounts permitted to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations or (ii) expenditures constituting preliminary expenditures as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations, the County will not seek reimbursement for any original expenditures with respect to the foregoing projects paid more than 60 days prior to the date of adoption of this resolution. All original expenditures for which reimbursement is sought will be capital expenditures or costs of issuance of the reimbursement bonds.

3. Budgetary Matters.

Interoffice Memo To : County Commissioners From : Charles Berg, Information Technology Director Date : April 14, 2015 RE : FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATIONS CABLE RING PROJECT PROPOSED PROJECT: Joint County-City-State project to complete a “ring” of fiber optic communications cable around Mankato. BACKGROUND: The County and the City of Mankato have been jointly building an underground fiber optic cable network for data and phone communications since 1998. Initially the fiber connected County and City buildings in the downtown area. During the construction of the Justice Center in 2008, the County partnered with the City, Scott County and the State of Minnesota to run fiber cable from downtown to the Justice Center, and to City traffic lights and a Fire Station in the Hilltop area. Later this fiber route was extended to the County Highway Department, a City building, and the new MnDOT building. This existing network is known as the “North Fiber Route.” As a result of these efforts, each County building in Mankato now has a fiber cable connection (except for Household Hazardous Waste). However, none of our buildings has a backup if its single fiber cable connection is cut somewhere along the route. To remedy this situation, this proposed project will extend the fiber route south from the Justice Center, then west through the MSU campus, and finally back to downtown, thus completing a fiber “ring” around Mankato. This ring will provide two fiber connections from different directions to each of our buildings, so if there is ever a fiber cut anywhere on the ring, we still have connectivity to every building. In addition to providing backup capabilities, this fiber ring provides many other opportunities for connectivity between government buildings in Mankato. This extension to complete the ring is known as the “South Fiber Route”. The State of Minnesota offered to pay for part of the construction of the South Fiber Route in exchange for use of a small portion of the fiber cable that will be installed, but the State does not want to be a part-owner of the completed project. The State also contributed engineering services during the design phase of the project. PROCESS USED: 1. County, City and State of Minnesota IT staff worked together with a fiber consultant from Elert and Associates to develop a Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction of the South Fiber Route, using the “best value alternative” procurement process under State Statutes 471.345 Subd. 3a and 16c.28 Subd. 1.

39

2. The County and City jointly issued the Request for Proposals. 3. Four proposals from the following companies were received:

Enventis/Consolidated Communications Jaguar Communications Neutral Path Communications MP Nexlevel

4. The evaluation team scored each proposal based on the scoring criteria published in the RFP. 5. After the team carefully evaluated each of the proposals, the proposal submitted by Jaguar Communications scored the highest and gives the County and the City the most cost-effective solution to complete the fiber ring. JAGUAR COMMUNICATIONS PROPOSAL SUMMARY: Jaguar will:

Install and configure the South Fiber Route at no cost to the County/City. (Estimated value - $450,000.00)

Occupy and own one (1) of the unused underground pipes in the existing North Fiber Route.

Provide fiber locating services and routine maintenance on the North and South fiber routes at no cost to the County/City for the term of the agreement (20 years).

Provide emergency repair services (costs depend on the situation). Provide fiber re-location services (costs depend on the situation).

RECOMMENDED VENDOR: Jaguar Communications ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of the Jaguar Communications contract.
