If the bonds are sold by negotiation, the purchase agreement shall be subject to the approval of the Mayor and the City Treasurer, and their execution thereof shall be deemed as conclusive evidence of such approval. If any portion of the bonds shall be sold to the MWRA or the Trust, the Mayor, the City Treasurer and any other appropriate official or officials of the City are authorized to execute and deliver any and all documents, certificates, or agreements that may be required by the MWRA or the Trust in connection with any such financing.

The City
143282957v.1 hereby certifies that the intention to reimburse as expressed herein is based upon its reasonable expectations as of this date. The City Treasurer or her designee is authorized to pay project expenses in accordance herewith pending the issuance of reimbursement bonds, and to amend this declaration. Section 4.

Any agreements or representations to provide information to the MSRB made prior hereto are hereby confirmed, ratified and approved. Section 5. The amount appropriated herein may be expended subject to approval of the Mayor and City Treasurer for costs of issuance of the bonds and additional fees associated with the provision of credit enhancement, including letters of credit or municipal bond insurance deemed necessary or desirable by them in connection with the issuance of the bonds and they are authorized to execute such reimbursement agreements, remarketing agreements, standby bond purchase agreements or other customary agreements as are normally required in connection therewith.

FY25 Water Improvements Water Distribution Improvement Plan study identified many deficiencies in the existing water system. The Plan identified a long-term need to repair and update the existing water system that requires annual design and rehabilitation projects. Rehabilitating the existing water system is required to meet the demands for firefighting and community use. Design and construction of yearly rehabilitation to the water distribution systems, including but not limited to: water mains, hydrants, and shut-off valves. Design services will prioritize deficiencies found in the water system based on consequence and likelihood of failure. Design services will include engineering services during construction. Improvements include rehabilitation of existing pipes by clean and lining, installation of additional shut-off valves, and installation of new pipe as necessary. IAM - Engineering Project selection based on September 2020 Kleinfelder plan titled "Water Distribution Improvement Plan" This authorization will supplement the FY24 Water Improvements bond authorization. The anticipated Kensington Street project is budgeted to use both the FY24 and FY25 authorizations. Necessary New Project First
