Box 811 515 Clark Avenue Ames, Iowa 50010 Re: Ames, Iowa $10,035,000 General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds, Series 1995 Our File No. 419370-15 Dear Sandra: Based upon our discussions with Alice Carroll, we have prepared proceedings for tonight's meeting which include a provision for the levy of taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1995. The state mandatory levy law provides that the resolution providing for the issuance of bonds and the levy of taxes must be filed with the County Auditor prior to April 1, 1995 in order to support a levy of taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1995. We originally planned to adopt the issuance resolution on March 28th at the time of sale and file the levying resolution with the County Auditor the next day, however, since the sale is now being held after April 1st it is necessary to file a pre- levy resolution to comply with this provision of the law. The actual annual levies will still be provided in the bond resolution based upon the actual sale results and that will then be filed with the County Auditor amending this pre-levy. We have enclosed a certificate for exection by the County Auditor confirming that a certified copy of the enclosed resolution has been filed prior to April 1, 1995. DORSEY & WHITNEY Page 2 If there is any question concerning this matter, please don't hesitate to give us a call. Sincerely o s, Ro rt H.
