3. A report from the engineer who designed the wetland setting forth any proposed
manipulation or destruction of drainage district improvements and the resulting effects on
existing drainage of lands within the Drainage District.
Upon receipt of the Statement of Intent, the District shall schedule a public meeting before the
Board of Trustees to be held not less than 20 days after the date of receipt. The Trustees may
continue this meeting from time to time.
The Auditor shall provide notice of the public meeting to affected landowners as directed by
the Drainage District Board of Trustees.
Prior to the public meeting, the plat of the wetland and engineer’s report will be reviewed by
the District’s Engineer who shall determine the effect to the District if the wetland is created. The
Engineer shall consider and address maintenance access, the potential effect upon the ability of the
District to make further improvements, the effect upon the ability of the neighboring landowner(s) to
connect to the facility, the effect upon drainage capabilities available to all landowners, future
ownership and maintenance issues which should be addressed in an agreement, potential benefits to
lands in the District, and other related issues the Trustees deem important. This requirement for an
engineer’s review can be waived by a majority vote of the Board.
The creation of the wetland shall not reduce the coefficient of drainage for any landowner
within the Drainage District.
The Drainage District shall incur no costs for the investigation and hearing. The cost of these
proceedings, including the cost of engineering, legal and providing notice, shall be paid by the
landowner or other entity.
The wetland shall retain the classification established by Sections 468.38 through 468.40
(Code of Iowa).
In the event the owner of the property no longer wished to use the property as a wetland, the
owner shall restore the system of drainage that was in place prior to the establishment of the wetland
or as otherwise allowed by the District.
Ownership, control and maintenance of facilities constructed to convey waters of the District
located upstream and downstream of the pool and outlet structure shall be the District’s. The
landowner is responsible to maintain the pool area, including the excavation of accumulated
sediment, the outlet structure, and all other facilities not assumed by the District. (The District may
agree to assume part or all of the maintenance responsibilities of the owner.)
If the landowner fails to perform maintenance activities as required under this agreement, the
Drainage District may enter the property and perform maintenance seven or more days after giving
notice to the landowner to do the maintenance. If the Trustees deem the maintenance to be an
emergency, the District may immediately perform the maintenance. The costs thereof shall be
assessed to the landowner.
The landowner’s request may be approved upon completion of the above conditions, if the
drainage district trustees are convinced the drainage within the Drainage District will not be adversely
affected and the Drainage District will not incur any costs. If such approval is given, the drainage
district trustees and the landowners shall enter into an agreement incorporating the conditions
contained within this resolution, and any other issues the trustees deem worthy.
Resolution passed and adopted this 26th day of July, 2010.

necessary and appropriate to facilitate the proper growth and development of the

pertaining to the Howard County Flex Benefit Plan. Vote thereon as follows: Ayes: Burnikel,
McGovern and Gamez. Nays: None.
Resolution No. 765
SUMMARY OF MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS
for the
HOWARD COUNTY
I
INTRODUCTION
This is a Summary of Material Modifications regarding the HOWARD COUNTY Flexible Benefit
(“Plan”). This is merely a summary of the most important changes to the Plan and information
contained in the Summary Plan Description (“SPD”) previously provided to you. It supplements and
amends that SPD so you should retain a copy of this document with your copy of the SPD. If you
have any questions, contact the Administrator. If there is any discrepancy between the terms of the
Plan, as modified, and this Summary of Material Modifications, the provisions of the Plan will control.
II
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Medical expenses:
Effective January 1, 2011, you may not request reimbursement of “over the counter” drugs unless the
drug is insulin or the drug is prescribed for you for treatment of a medical condition. [You cannot use
debit and/or credit cards to obtain “over the counter” drugs even with a prescription.]
Definition of “child”:
Effective December 31, 2010 you may be reimbursed for insurance coverage [or medical expenses]
for any child until the end of the calendar year in which the child reaches age 26. A child is a natural
child, stepchild, foster child, adopted child, or a child place with you for adoption. If a child gains or
regains eligibility due to these new rules, that qualifies as a change in status to change coverage.
A motion by Don Burnikel and seconded by Jan McGovern to approve partial tax abatement

Section 8. Issuance of Bonds in Book-Entry Form; Replacement Bonds.
(a)
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Resolution regarding registration,
ownership, transfer, payment and exchange of the Bonds, unless the Issuer determines to
permit the exchange of Depository Bonds for Bonds in the Authorized Denominations, the
Bonds shall be issued as Depository Bonds in denominations of the entire principal amount of
each maturity of Bonds (or, if a portion of the principal amount is prepaid, the principal amount
less the prepaid amount); and such Depository Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede
& Co., as nominee of DTC. Payment of semi-annual interest for any Depository Bond shall be
made by wire transfer or New York Clearing House or equivalent next day funds to the account
of Cede & Co. on the interest payment date for the Bonds at the address indicated in or
pursuant to the Representation Letter.
(b)
With respect to Depository Bonds, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have
any responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Beneficial Owner. Without limiting
the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent shall have any
responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee
or of any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to
any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than DTC or its nominee, of
any notice with respect to the Bonds, (iii) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner
or any other person, other than DTC or its nominee, of any amount with respect to the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or (iv) the failure of DTC to provide any
information or notification on behalf of any Participant or Beneficial Owner.
The Issuer and the Paying Agent may treat DTC or its nominee as, and deem DTC or
its nominee to be, the absolute owner of each Bond for the purpose of payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of all other matters
with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds,
and for all other purposes whatsoever (expect for the giving of certain Bondholder consents, in
accordance with the practices and procedure of DTC as may be applicable thereto). The
Paying Agent shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or
upon the order of the Bondholders as shown on the Registration Books, and all such
payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer’s obligations with
respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent so paid.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Resolution to the contrary (including without limitation
those provisions relating to the surrender of Bonds, registration thereof, and issuance in
Authorized Denominations), as long as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect shall be
given to the Representation Letter and the procedures and practices of DTC thereunder, and
the Paying Agent shall comply therewith.
(c)
Upon (i) a determination by the Issuer that DTC is no longer able to carry out its
functions or is otherwise determined unsatisfactory, or (ii) a determination by DTC that the
Bonds are no longer eligible for its depository services or (iii) a determination by the Paying
Agent that DTC has resigned or discontinued its services for the Bonds, if such substitution is
authorized by law, the Issuer shall (A) designate a satisfactory substitute depository as set
forth below or, if a satisfactory substitute is not found, (B) provide for the exchange of
Depository Bonds for replacement Bonds in Authorized Denominations.
(d)
To the extent authorized by law, if the Issuer determines to provide for the
exchange of Depository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized Denominations, the Issuer shall so
notify the Paying Agent and shall provide the Registrar with a supply of executed
unauthenticated Bonds to be so exchanged. The Registrar shall thereupon notify the owners
of the Bonds and provide for such exchange, and to the extent that the Beneficial Owners are
designated as the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will be delivered in appropriate form,
content and Authorized Denominations to the Beneficial Owners, as their interests appear.
(e)
Any substitute depository shall be designated in writing by the Issuer to the
Paying Agent. Any such substitute depository shall be a qualified and registered “clearing
agency” as provided in Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The substitute depository shall provide for (i) immobilization of the Depository Bonds, (ii)
registration and transfer of interests in Depository Bonds by book entries made on records of
the depository or its nominee and (iii) payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds in accordance with and as such interests may appear with respect to such book
entries.
Section 9. Registration of Bonds; Appointment of Registrar; Transfer; Ownership;
Delivery; and Cancellation.
(a)
Registration. The ownership of bonds may be transferred only by the making of
an entry upon the books kept for the registration and transfer of ownership of the Bonds, and
in no other way. Bankers Trust Company is hereby appointed as Bond Registrar under the
terms of this Resolution and under the provisions of a separate agreement with the Issuer filed
herewith which is made a part hereof by this reference. Registrar shall maintain the books of
the Issuer for the registration of ownership of the Bonds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Bonds as provided in this Resolution. All Bonds shall be negotiable as
provided in Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code and Section 331.446 of the Code of
Iowa, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in the Bonds and in this
Resolution.
(b)
Transfer. The ownership of any Bond may be transferred only upon the
Registration Books kept for the registration and transfer of Bonds and only upon surrender
thereof at the office of the Registrar together with an assignment duly executed by the holder
or his duly authorized attorney in fact in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Registrar,
along with the address and social security number or federal employer identification number of
such transferee (or, if registration is to be made in the name of multiple individuals, of all such
transferees). In the event that the address of the registered owner of a Bond (other than a
registered owner which is the nominee of the broker or dealer in question) is that of a broker
or dealer, there must be disclosed on the Registration Books the information pertaining to the
registered owner required above. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, a new fully registered
Bond, of any denomination or denominations permitted by this Resolution in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal amount of such
transferred fully registered Bond, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the
same date or dates shall be delivered by the Registrar.
(c)
Registration of Transferred Bonds. In all cases of the transfer of the Bonds, the
Registrar shall register, at the earliest practicable time, on the Registration Books, the Bonds,
in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.
(d)
Ownership. As to any Bond, the person in whose name the ownership of the
same shall be registered on the Registration Books of the Registrar shall be deemed and
regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of the
principal of any such Bonds and the premium, if any, and interest thereon shall be made only
to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal representative. All such
payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond,
including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(e)
Cancellation. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall not be reissued but
shall be cancelled by the Registrar. All Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar shall be
destroyed and a certificate of the destruction thereof shall be furnished promptly to the Issuer;
provided that if the Issuer shall so direct, the Registrar shall forward the cancelled Bonds to
the Issuer.
(f)
Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any payment check representing
payment of or interest on the Bonds is returned to the Paying Agent or if any Bond is not
presented for payment of principal at the maturity or redemption date, if funds sufficient to pay
such interest on the Bonds shall have been made available to the Paying Agent for the benefit
of the owner thereof, all liability of the Issuer to the owner thereof for such interest or payment
of such Bonds shall forthwith cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it
shall be the duty of the Paying Agent to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon,
for the benefit of the owner of such Bonds who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to
such funds for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Resolution or on, or with
respect to, such interest or Bonds. The Paying Agent’s obligation to hold such funds shall
continue for a period equal to two years and six months following the date on which such
interest or principal became due, whether at maturity, or at the date fixed for redemption
thereof, or otherwise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall surrender any remaining funds so
held to the Issuer, whereupon any claim under this Resolution by the Owners of such interest
or Bonds of whatever nature shall be made upon the Issuer.
(g)
Registration and Transfer Fees. The Registrar shall furnish to each owner, at the
Issuer’s expense, one Bond for each annual maturity. The Registrar shall furnish additional
Bonds in lesser denominations (but not less than the minimum denomination) to an owner
who so requests.
Section 10. Reissuance of Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost Bonds. In case any
outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall at
the request of Registrar authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor and amount as the
Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated
Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of such mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and substitution for the
Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar evidence satisfactory to the
Registrar and Issuer that such Bond has been destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of ownership
thereof, and upon furnishing the Registrar and Issuer with satisfactory indemnity and
complying with such other reasonable regulations as the Issuer or its agent may prescribe and
paying such expenses as the Issuer may incur in connection therewith.
Section 11. Record Date. Payments of principal and interest, otherwise than upon full
redemption, made in respect of any Bond, shall be made to the registered holder thereof or to
their designated agent as the same appear on the books of the Registrar on the 15th day
preceding the payment date. All such payments shall fully discharge the obligations of the
Issuer in respect of such Bonds to the extent of the payments so made. Payment of principal
shall only be made upon surrender of the Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 12. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the adoption of
this Resolution, the Chairperson and County Auditor shall execute and deliver the Bonds to
the Registrar, who shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver the same to or upon order of the
Purchaser. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any
right or benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall duly endorse and execute on such Bond a
Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form of the Certificate herein set forth. Such
Certificate upon any Bond executed on behalf of the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that
the Bond so authenticated has been duly issued under this Resolution and that the holder
thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.
No Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered by the Registrar unless and until there
shall have been provided the following:
1.
A certified copy of the Resolution of Issuer authorizing the issuance of the Bonds;
2.
A written order of Issuer signed by the Treasurer of the Issuer directing the
