BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROANOKE, VIRGINIA,
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Council (the "Council ") of the City of Roanoke, Virginia (the
"City "), hereby finds and determines as follows:

advance of their stated maturities of all or a portion of the outstanding Series 2010D
Bonds, Series 2014A Bonds and certain maturities of certain other currently outstanding

Pursuant to Article 5 of the Public Finance Act of 1991, the City is authorized to
issue refunding bonds to refund all or a portion of its outstanding bonds in advance of
their stated maturities.

shall be determined by the City Manager or the Director of Finance in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8 and Section 11 hereof. The Bonds shall be issued in such
aggregate principal amount (not exceeding in the aggregate the principal amount
specified in Section 2(a) hereof); and shall mature on such dates and in such years (but

(c) The Bonds (or portions thereof in installments of $5,000) may be made subject
to redemption at the option of the City prior to their stated maturities, in whole or in part
from time to time on any date, in such order as may be determined by the City (except
that if at any time less than all of the Bonds of a given maturity are called for redemption,
the particular Bonds or portions thereof in installments of $5,000 of such maturity to be
redeemed shall be selected by lot or by such other method in accordance with the
procedures of DTC (hereinafter defined) as may be designated by the City Manager or
the Director of Finance), upon payment of such redemption prices (expressed as a
percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed), together with the
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, as shall be
determined by the City Manager or the Director of Finance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8 and Section 11 hereof.
(d) (i) If any Bond (or any portion of the principal amount thereof in installments of
$5,000) shall be called for redemption, notice of the redemption thereof, specifying the
date, number and maturity of such Bond, the date and place or places fixed for its
redemption, and if less than the entire principal amount of such Bond is to be redeemed,
that such Bond must be surrendered in exchange for the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed and a new Bond or Bonds issued equalling in principal amount that portion of
the principal amount thereof not to be redeemed, shall be mailed not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the date fixed for redemption (or such shorter period as may be agreed to
with the purchaser of such Bonds), by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered
owner thereof at his address as it appears on the books of registry kept by the Registrar
as of the close of business on the forty -fifth (45th) day next preceding the date fixed for
redemption. If notice of the redemption of any Bond shall have been given as aforesaid,

thereof to be redeemed) and of the accrued interest payable upon such redemption shall
have been duly made or provided for, interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and
after the date so specified for the redemption thereof.
602
(ii) Any notice of the optional redemption of the Bonds may state that it is
conditioned upon there being on deposit with the City on the date fixed for the redemption
thereof an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Bonds, together
with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, and any
conditional notice so given may be rescinded at any time before the payment of the
redemption price of such Bonds, together with the interest accrued thereon, is due and
payable if any such condition so specified is not satisfied. If a redemption of any Bonds
does not occur after a conditional notice is given due to there not being on deposit with
the City a sufficient amount of money to pay the redemption price of such Bonds, together
with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, the
corresponding notice of redemption shall be deemed to be revoked.
(iii) So long as the Bonds are in book -entry only form, any notice of redemption
shall be given only to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ( "DTC "), or
to its nominee. The City shall not be responsible for providing any beneficial owner of the
Bonds any notice of redemption while the Bonds are in book -entry only form.
SECTION 3. The full faith and credit of the City shall be and is irrevocably pledged
to the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become

the same manner as other taxes of the City are assessed, levied and collected, a tax
upon all taxable property within the City, over and above all other taxes, authorized or
limited by law and without limitation as to rate or amount, sufficient to pay when due the
principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent other funds of the City are not lawfully
available and appropriated for such purpose.
(a) The Bonds shall be executed, for and on behalf of the City, by the manual or
facsimile signature of the Mayor of the City and shall have a facsimile of the corporate
seal of the City imprinted thereon, attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the
City Clerk of the City.
(b) The Director of Finance or the City Manager are hereby authorized to appoint
a Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds (the "Registrar").

authenticate the Bonds and no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless
and until the certificate of authentication endorsed on each Bond shall have been
manually executed by an authorized signator of the Registrar. Upon the authentication
of any Bonds the Registrar shall insert in the certificate of authentication the date as of
which such Bonds are authenticated as follows: ( i if a Bond is authenticated prior to the
first interest payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of the date of the initial
issuance and delivery of the Bonds of the series of Bonds of which such Bond is one
(ii) if a Bond is authenticated upon an interest payment date, the certificate shall be dated
as of such interest payment date, (iii) if a Bond is authenticated after the fifteenth (15th)
603
day of the calendar month next preceding an interest payment date and prior to such
interest payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of such interest payment date and
(iv) in all other instances the certificate shall be dated as of the interest payment date next
preceding the date upon which the Bond is authenticated. In the event the dates on which
interest is payable on the Bonds of any series are other than the first days of calendar
months, the provisions of this Section 4(c) with regard to the authentication of such Bonds
and of Section 10 with regard to the form of such Bonds shall be modified as the Director
of Finance or the City Manager shall determine to be necessary or appropriate.
(d) The execution and authentication of the Bonds in the manner above set forth
is adopted as a due and sufficient authentication of the Bonds.
SECTION 5. (a) The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the respective dates of
payment thereof is legal tender for public and private debts at the office of the Registrar.
Interest on the Bonds shall be payable by check mailed by the Registrar to the registered
owners of such Bonds at their respective addresses as such addresses appear on the
books of registry kept pursuant to this Section 5; provided, however, that so long as the
Bonds are in book -entry form and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of
DTC, or in the name of such other nominee of DTC as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC, interest on the Bonds shall be paid directly to Cede & Co. or such
other nominee of DTC by wire transfer.
(b) At all times during which any Bond of any series remains outstanding and
unpaid, the Registrar for such series shall keep or cause to be kept at its office books of
registry for the registration, exchange and transfer of Bonds of such series. Upon
presentation at its office for such purpose, the Registrar, under such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, shall register, exchange or transfer, or cause to be
registered, exchanged or transferred, on the books of registry the Bonds as hereinbefore
set forth.
(c) The books of registry shall at all times be open for inspection by the City or any
duly authorized officer thereof.
(d) Any Bond may be exchanged at the office of the Registrar for such series of
Bonds for a like aggregate principal amount of such Bonds in other authorized principal
sums of the same series, interest rate and maturity.
(e) Any Bond of any series may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred upon
the books of registry by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly
authorized agent, upon surrender of such Bond to the Registrar for cancellation,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered owner in
person or by his duly authorized attorney, in form satisfactory to the Registrar.
MOM
(f) All transfers or exchanges pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made without
expense to the registered owners of such Bonds, except as otherwise herein provided,
and except that the Registrar for such series of Bonds shall require the payment by the
registered owner of the Bond requesting such transfer or exchange of any tax or other
governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. All
Bonds surrendered pursuant to this Section 5 shall be cancelled.
(g) (i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11 hereof, the Bonds shall be
issued in full book -entry form. One Bond representing each maturity of each series of the
Bonds will be issued to and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
or such other nominee of DTC as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC, as registered owner of the Bonds, and each such Bond will be immobilized in the
custody of DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. Individual purchases
will be made in book -entry form only, in the principal amount of $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof. Purchasers will not receive physical delivery of certificates representing
their interest in the Bonds purchased.
(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11 hereof, principal and interest
payments on the Bonds will be made by the Registrar to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co.,
or such other nominee of DTC as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC, as registered owner of the Bonds, which will in turn remit such payments to the DTC
participants for subsequent disbursal to the beneficial owners of the Bonds. Transfers of
principal and interest payments to DTC participants will be the responsibility of DTC.

No. 42010- 031521.
A RESOLUTION approving the City of Roanoke 's support of a financing
agreement by the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority.
WHEREAS, the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority ( "RVRA") is a public body
politic and corporate of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the "Commonwealth ") established
upon agreement of the governing bodies of the County of Roanoke, Virginia ( "Roanoke
County "), the City of Roanoke, Virginia ( "Roanoke City "), the Town of Vinton, Virginia
( "Vinton "), and the City of Salem, Virginia ("Salem") (together, the "Participating
Jurisdictions "), in accordance with the Virginia Water and Waste Authorities Act, Virginia
Code Section 15.2 -5100, et seq. (the "Act "), for the purpose of meeting the municipal
solid waste disposal needs of the Participating Jurisdictions and others;
615
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of RVRA (the "Board ") has determined that it
is necessary and desirable to issue its Solid Waste Revenue Bonds (collectively, the
"Bond "), and to use the proceeds thereof, along with other available funds, if any (i) to
finance costs related to the RVRA Facilities Modifications and Improvements Project:
Phase III (the "Phase III Project "), and (ii) to pay the costs of issuance of the Bond
(collectively, the "Project ");
WHEREAS, RVRA has applied to the Virginia Resources Authority ( "VRA ") for
the purchase of the Bond, and VRA has indicated its willingness to purchase such Bond
from the proceeds of one or more series of its Infrastructure and State Moral Obligation
Revenue Bonds (Virginia Pooled Financing Program) (collectively, the "VRA Bonds "), in
accordance with the terms of a Local Bond Sale and Financing Agreement to be dated a
date determined by RVRA and VRA (the "Financing Agreement "), between VRA and
RVRA, or such other financing agreement that may be entered into in connection with a
separate series of the Bonds;
WHEREAS, the Financing Agreement is expected to indicate that the sum of
$10,000,000 plus an amount necessary to pay costs of issuance of RVRA is the amount
of proceeds requested for the Project from VRA or such other amount as requested by
RVRA in writing and approved by VRA prior to VRA's bond pricing (the "Proceeds
Requested ");
WHEREAS, VRA has advised RVRA that the sale date of the VRA Bonds is
tentatively scheduled for May 12, 2021, but may occur, subject to market conditions, at
any time between May 1, 2021, and June 30, 2021 (the "VRA Sale Date "), and that VRA's
objective is to pay RVRA a purchase price for the Bond that in VRA's judgment reflects
its market value (the "Purchase Price Objective ") taking into consideration the Proceeds
Requested and such factors as the purchase price received by VRA for the VRA Bonds,
the issuance costs of the VRA Bonds (consisting of the underwriters' discount and other
costs incurred by VRA) (collectively, the "VRA Costs ") and other market conditions
relating to the sale of the VRA Bonds;
WHEREAS, such factors are expected to result in RVRA receiving a purchase
price other than the par amount of the Bond and consequently (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the Bond may be greater than or less than the Proceeds Requested in order
to receive an amount of proceeds that is substantially equal to the Proceeds Requested
or (ii) if the maximum authorized principal amount of the Bond set forth in Section 1 of this
Resolution does not exceed the Proceeds Requested by at least the amount of the VRA
Costs and any original issue discount, the amount to be paid to RVRA, given the Purchase
Price Objective and market conditions, will be less than the Proceeds Requested;
WHEREAS, subject to final credit approval by VRA, the Bond will be secured by a
pledge of the net revenues (as more particularly defined in the Financing Agreement, the
"Net Revenues ") derived by RVRA from the ownership and operation of its solid waste
disposal system (as more particularly defined in the Financing Agreement, the "System ")
and if requested by VRA, one or more Support Agreements among VRA, RVRA and one
or more of the Participating Jurisdictions (each a "Support Agreement ");and
WHEREAS, the foregoing arrangements will be reflected in the Financing
Agreement and the Support Agreements, forms of which have been filed in RVRA's
records.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
If requested by the VRA, the City Manager or his designee is hereby authorized to
execute a support agreement, as approved as to form by the City Attorney.
This Resolution shall take effect upon adoption.

Public Improvement Bonds."
(b) The Bonds shall be issued and sold in their entirety at one time, or from
time to time in part in series, as shall be determined by the Director of Finance or the
City Manager. There shall be added to the designation of the Bonds a series
designation determined by the Director of Finance or the City Manager. The Bonds
shall be issued in fully registered form in the denomination of $5,000 each or any
integral multiple thereof. The Bonds of a given series shall be numbered from No. R -1
upwards in order of issuance. The Bonds shall bear interest from their date payable on
such date and semiannually thereafter as shall be determined by the City Manager or
the Director of Finance in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof. The
Bonds of each series shall be issued in such aggregate principal amounts (not
exceeding the aggregate principal amount specified in Section 1(a) hereof); and shall
mature on such dates and in such years (but in no event exceeding forty (40) years
from their date or dates), and in the principal amount in each such year, as shall be
determined by the City Manager or the Director of Finance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8 hereof. Interest on the Bonds shall be calculated on the basis of

(c) The Bonds (or portions thereof in installments of $5,000) may be subject
to redemption at the option of the City prior to their stated maturities, in whole or in part
from time to time on any date, in such order as may be determined by the City (except
that if at any time less than all of the Bonds of a given maturity are called for
redemption, the particular Bonds or portions thereof in installments of $5,000 of such
maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by lot), upon payment of such redemption
765
prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds to be
redeemed), together with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the
redemption thereof, as shall be determined by the City Manager or the Director of
Finance in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof.
(d) (i) If any Bond (or any portion of the principal amount thereof in
installments of $5,000) shall be called for redemption, notice of the redemption thereof,
specifying the date, number and maturity of such Bond, the date and place or places
fixed for its redemption, and if less than the entire principal amount of such Bond is to
be redeemed, that such Bond must be surrendered in exchange for the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed and a new Bond or Bonds issued equaling in principal
amount that portion of the principal amount thereof not to be redeemed, shall be mailed
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, to the registered owner thereof at the address of such registered
owner as it appears on the books of registry kept by the Registrar and Paying Agent as
of the close of business on the forty -fifth (45th) day next preceding the date fixed for
redemption. If notice of the redemption of any Bond shall have been given as aforesaid,

amount thereof to be redeemed) and of the accrued interest payable upon such
redemption shall have been duly made or provided for, interest thereon shall cease to
accrue from and after the date so specified for the redemption thereof.

is conditioned upon there being on deposit with the City on the date fixed for the
redemption thereof an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of such
Bonds, together with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption
thereof, and any conditional notice so given may be rescinded at any time before the
payment of the redemption price of such Bonds, together with the interest accrued
thereon, is due and payable if any such condition so specified is not satisfied. If a
redemption of any Bonds does not occur after a conditional notice is given due to there
not being on deposit with the City a sufficient amount of money to pay the redemption
price of such Bonds, together with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the
redemption thereof, the corresponding notice of redemption shall be deemed to be
revoked.
(iii) So long as the Bonds are in book -entry only form, any notice of

the Bonds of the series of Bonds of which such Bond is one, (ii) if a Bond is
authenticated upon an interest payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of such
interest payment date, (iii) if a Bond is authenticated after the fifteenth (15th) day of the
calendar month next preceding an interest payment date and prior to such interest
payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of such interest payment date and (iv) in

any series shall be dated as of a date other than the first day of a calendar month or the

upon the books of registry by the registered owner of such Bond in person or by the
duly authorized attorney for such registered owner, upon surrender of such Bond to the
Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer duly executed by the registered owner in person or by the duly authorized
attorney for such registered owner, in form satisfactory to the Registrar and Paying
Agent.
(f) All transfers or exchanges pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made
without expense to the registered owners of such Bonds, except as otherwise herein
provided, and except that the Registrar and Paying Agent for such series of Bonds shall
require the payment by the registered owner of the Bond requesting such transfer or
exchange of any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to
such transfer or exchange. All Bonds surrendered pursuant to this Section 4 shall be
cancelled.

representing each maturity of the Bonds will be issued to and registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, as registered owner of the Bonds, and each such
Bond will be immobilized in the custody of DTC. DTC will act as securities depository
for the Bonds. Individual purchases will be made in book -entry form only, in the
principal amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Purchasers will not receive
physical delivery of certificates representing their interest in the Bonds purchased.
(ii) Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made by the
Registrar and Paying Agent to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as registered owner of
the Bonds, which will in turn remit such payments to the DTC participants for
subsequent disbursal to the beneficial owners of the Bonds. Transfers of principal and
interest payments to DTC participants will be the responsibility of DTC. Transfers of
such payments to beneficial owners of the Bonds by DTC participants will be the
responsibility of such participants and other nominees of such beneficial owners.
Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries
made by DTC and, in turn, by the DTC participants who act on behalf of the indirect
participants of DTC and the beneficial owners of the Bonds.

no such number shall constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the particular Bond
upon which it is printed; no liability shall attach to the City or any officer or agent thereof
(including any paying agent for the Bonds) by reason of such numbers or any use made
thereof (including any use thereof made by the City, any such officer or any such agent)
or by reason of any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect thereto or in such use;
and any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect to such numbers shall not constitute
cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder or purchaser to accept delivery of
and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. All expenses in
connection with the assignment and printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be
paid by the City; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the
assignment of such numbers shall be the responsibility of the successful bidder for or
purchaser of the Bonds.
(b) A copy of the final legal opinion with respect to the Bonds, with the name
of the attorney or attorneys rendering the same, together with a certification of the City
Clerk, executed by a facsimile signature of that officer, to the effect that such copy is a
