consulting with the City, the offering by the Underwriter may be a bona fide public offering or
may be an offering limited to selected institutional investors. In the event of a bona fide public
offering, the Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including the Underwriter and
other dealers depositing such Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than such initial
public offering prices.
3. The Underwriter shall deliver funds to the City on the date hereof in the form of a
wire transfer of immediately available moneys in the amount equal to 1% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds. No interest on the deposit will accrue to the Underwriter. The
City agrees to hold the deposit until the Closing as security for the performance by the
Underwriter of its obligation to accept and pay for the Bonds at the Closing and, in the event of
compliance by the Underwriter with such obligation, the deposit shall be applied, without
allowance for interest, against the purchase price when the Bonds are delivered to and paid for
by the Underwriter. In the event the City does not accept this offer, such deposit shall be
immediately returned to the Underwriter in the form of a wire transfer of immediately available
moneys. In the event of the City's failure to deliver the Bonds at the Closing, or if the City shall
be unable at or prior to the date of the Closing to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the
Underwriter contained herein, or if the obligations of the Underwriter shall be terminated for any
reason permitted by this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate, and neither the Underwriter
nor the City shall be under any further obligation hereunder, except that the deposit referred to in
this paragraph 3 shall be returned immediately to the Underwriter by the City in the form of a
wire transfer of immediately available moneys, and the respective obligations of the City and the
Underwriter for the payment of expenses as provided in paragraph 10 hereof shall continue in
full force and effect. If the Underwriter fails (other than for a reason permitted hereunder) to
accept and pay for the Bonds at the Closing as herein provided, the deposit will be retained by
the City as liquidated damages for such failure and for any and all defaults hereunder on the part
of the Underwriter, and the retention of such deposit shall constitute a full release and discharge
of all claims and damages for such failure and for any and all such defaults.
4.(a) At the time of or before the Closing by the City hereof, the City shall deliver to
the Underwriter(unless separately waived by the Underwriter):
(i) a certified copy of the Ordinance (including(a) the City's undertaking (the
"Undertaking") to provide ongoing disclosure about the City for the benefit of the
bondholders and beneficial owners of the Bonds, as required by Section(b)(5)(i) of the
Rule, as hereinafter defined, and summarized in the Preliminary Official Statement

for the execution and delivery of the Award Certificate) together with such reasonable
number of certified copies of the Ordinance as the undersigned shall request;

population, employment and income during recent years.
Area and Population
According to the 2010 Census the population of the eight-county Omaha Metropolitan Statistical
Area("MSA"), comprising five Nebraska counties and three Iowa counties,numbered 865,350,with over

areas in the nation. Omaha has a plentiful water supply (Missouri River and Platte River wells) and a
water system designed to the standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, with a current
capacity of 333 million gallons a day. MUD's supply of natural gas is purchased wholesale from
Northern Natural Gas Company. This supply is supplemented with peak-shaving storage facilities which

City of Omaha taxable property valuations have increased nearly 20.8%from 2006 to 2010. The property
tax base has been enhanced through orderly annexation of developed sanitary and improvement districts
contiguous to the City.
City Sales and Use Taxes
The City's sales tax rate of 1.5%, authorized under the provisions of the Nebraska Revenue Act
of 1967, has remained unchanged since July 1, 1978. Net sales tax collections declined by 0.2% in 2009
and increased by 4.0% in 2010. Through August 2011, actual City sales tax receipts were down 0.4%
compared to the same period in 2010.
City Business Taxes
Receipts for telephone occupation tax are projected at $14,863,000 for 2011. The Omaha Public
Power District Occupation Tax rate is 5%of revenues resulting from the sale of electricity within the
corporate limits of the City of Omaha. The 2011 projection of$6,000,000 is based upon the assumption
that weather conditions will be warmer than normal. The Cable Television Franchise Fee rate is 5% of
gross receipts, generated from the operation of cable television within the City of Omaha. The 2011
revenue estimates are$1,736,000. Vehicle Occupation Tax for 2011 is $8 per rental. The 2011 revenues
are projected at $1,800,000. Based on the 5.5%per night occupation tax for hotels/motels, the City
estimates that the Hotel/Motel Tax will generate$4,700,000 for the General Fund in 2011.
During the 2011 budget process, the City Council enacted a new restaurant fee equal to 2.5%of
food and beverage sales. The fee became effective October 1, 2010 and produced $4.4 million of
additional unbudgeted revenues in 2010. In 2011, the City anticipates the restaurant fee will generate
$18.5 million in revenues.
Other Revenues
The City receives intergovernmental revenues from a number of sources. Federal and state
grants-in-aid and matching funds are received by the City to help fund specific programs and projects.
State tax distributions are appropriated by the Nebraska Legislature according to a formula comparing its
population to the total population of all incorporated municipalities within the State. The Metropolitan
Utilities District pays a payment in lieu of taxes equal to 2%of the annual gross revenue derived from all
retail sales of water and gas sold within the City. The Omaha Public Power District makes payments in
lieu of taxes at the 1957 in-lieu-of-tax levels as dictated by Section 70-651.01, Reissue Revised Statutes
of Nebraska, as amended.

2011 General Fund Forecast
The City formally prepares and makes available a quarterly financial report. For the period
ending June 30, 2011, the City's quarterly report projects a year end budget surplus in the City's General
Fund of $3.0 million. See the table in APPENDIX B labeled "SUMMARY OF GENERAL FUND
REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES". This projected surplus is primarily due to savings from
employees benefit costs.
The City continues to monitor purchases and approve only "mission critical" or "public safety"
related items. Hiring is managed through the Job Bank Committee and only essential positions are filled.
One unanticipated event which has resulted in increased expenditures for the City is the flooding
of the Missouri River in and around the City. It is estimated that the cost to address problems associated
with the flood control will exceed $15 million. The City expects to finance these costs from a variety of
sources including insurance proceeds and federal grants or aid. The City has set aside$3.75 million from
the City's General Fund to finance any costs not covered by these other sources of funds.
2012 Budget
Highlights in connection with the City's adoption of its 2012 budget include:
• General Fund appropriations increased to $311.2 million, or 3.67%. Wages increased
$4.6 million. Approximately 80%of the General Fund is personnel cost.
• Total health care costs included in the 2012 budget _are $56.4 million, of which
$45.7 million is attributable to the General Fund.
• Overall spending increased from $662.9 million to $730.641 million, or 10.23%. This
increase is primarily due to an increase in capital spending in the amount of$87.8 million
for the City Sewer system.
• Property valuation rose from $26.9 billion in 2010 to $27.5 billion (preliminary 2011
taxable valuation), or 2.2%. Property tax levies remain unchanged from 2011.
• Appropriations include a $750,000 transfer to the City's Cash Reserve Fund. The
projected 2012 year end balance is$4.1 million.
DISPOSITION OF BOND PROCEEDS FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES AND REFUNDING.
The proceeds of the Various Purpose Bonds will be applied as follows: the amount of$9,000,000
of the proceeds of such Bonds will be applied to pay the cost of constructing streets and highways; the
amount of $1,800,000 of the proceeds of such Bonds will be applied to pay the cost of constructing
sewers and sewer related infrastructure; $300,000 of the proceeds of such Bonds will be applied to pay for
certain public facilities; $1,100,000 of the proceeds of such Bonds will be used to pay for certain public
safety facilities and equipment; and $1,500,000 of the proceeds of such Bonds will be applied to pay for
parks and recreation facilities. The proceeds of the Refunding Bonds will be applied to refund certain
indebtedness for capital infrastructure improvements in the aggregate principal amount of approximately
$9,900,000 (the "Refunded Bonds") for which the City became legally liable upon its annexations of
Douglas County Sanitary and Improvement District Nos. 250,288, 322, 327, 347,359, 362, 388,and 393.

THE BONDS
Description of the Bonds
The Bonds in aggregate principal amount of$23,800,000* will be dated their date of delivery,
October 13, 2011, will be issued in fully registered form and will mature as set forth on the reverse of the
cover page of this Official Statement. Interest on the Bonds is payable semiannually on May 15 and
November 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2012.
Place of Payment
The principal of the Bonds will be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the
corporate trust office of the First National Bank of Omaha, as paying agent and registrar (the "Paying
Agent" and"Registrar"), in Omaha,Nebraska. Interest on the Bonds will be paid by wire transfer,check
or draft mailed to the person in whose name a Bond is registered as of the May 1 or November 1, as the
case may be, immediately preceding each interest payment date.
Book-Entry Only System
The Bonds initially are being issued solely in book-entry form to be held in the book-entry only
system maintained by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"),New York, New York. So long as such
book-entry system is used, only DTC will receive or have the right to receive physical delivery of Bonds
and Beneficial Owners (as hereinafter defined) will not be or be considered to be, and will not have any
rights as, owners or holders of the Bonds under the.Ordinance. The following information about the
book-entry only system applicable to the Bonds has been supplied by DTC. Neither the City nor the
Paying Agent makes any representations, warranties or guarantees with respect to its accuracy or
completeness.
DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered
securities registered in the name of Cede&Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may
be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Bond certificate will be issued
for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity and will be
deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the
New York Banking Law, a"banking organization"within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a
member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million
issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments
(from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also
facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in
deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct
Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct
Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Depository Trust& Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National

clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system
is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust
companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct
Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has a Standard& Poor's rating of
"AA+." The DTC Rules applicable to .its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,
which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual
purchaser of each Bond ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect
Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase. Beneficial Owners are,however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of
the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant
through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the
Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on
behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership
interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are
registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede.&Co., or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration
in the name of Cede&Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership.
DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the
identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be
the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account
of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain
steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such
as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example,
Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit
has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative,Beneficial Owners may
wish to provide their names and addresses to the Paying Agent and request that copies of notices be
provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within an issue are being
redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in
such issue to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede&Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to
the Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI Procedures. Under
its usual procedures,DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City, as issuer of the Bonds, as soon as possible
after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede&Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those
Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing
attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal and interest payments, redemption proceeds and distributions on the Bonds will be
made to Cede&Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.

DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding
detail information from the City or the Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective
holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by
standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with Bonds held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in"street name" and will be the responsibility of such Participant
and not of DTC, the Paying Agent or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may
be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments to
Cede&Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the
responsibility of the City or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will
be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the
responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time
by giving reasonable notice to the City or the Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that
a successor depository is not obtained,Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a
successor securities depository). In that event,Bond certificates will be printed and delivered.
NEITHER THE CITY NOR THE PAYING AGENT WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY
OR OBLIGATION TO ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT, INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OR ANY
BENEFICIAL OWNER OR ANY OTHER PERSON NOT SHOWN ON THE REGISTRATION
BOOKS OF THE PAYING AGENT AS BEING A HOLDER WITH RESPECT TO: (1)THE BONDS;
(2)THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT
PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT; (3)THE PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT
PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL
OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PRINCIPAL OR REDEMPTION PRICE OF OR INTEREST ON THE
BONDS; (4)THE DELIVERY BY ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF
ANY NOTICE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER WHICH IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER
THE TERMS OF THE ORDINANCE TO BE GIVEN TO HOLDERS; (5)THE SELECTION OF THE
BENEFICIAL OWNERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTIAL
REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS; OR(6)ANY CONSENT GIVEN OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY
DTC AS HOLDER.
Each Beneficial Owner for whom a Direct Participant or Indirect Participant acquires an interest
in the Bonds, as nominee, may desire to make arrangements with such Direct Participant or Indirect
Participant to receive a credit balance in the records of such Direct Participant or Indirect Participant, to
have all notices of redemption, elections to tender Bonds or other communications to or by DTC which
may affect such Beneficial Owner forwarded in writing by such Direct Participant or Indirect Participant,
and to have notification made of all debt service payments.
Beneficial Owners may be charged a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee, or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation to any transfer or exchange of their interests in the Bonds.
THE CITY AND PAYING AGENT CANNOT AND DO NOT GIVE ANY ASSURANCES
THAT THE DIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR THE INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS WILL DISTRIBUTE TO
THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE BONDS (i)PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL OF AND
INTEREST ON THE BONDS, (ii)BONDS REPRESENTING AN OWNERSHIP INTEREST OR

Optional Redemption
The Bonds maturing November 15, 2022 and thereafter are subject to redemption at the option of
the City at any time on or after November 15,2021,in whole or in part($5,000 or any multiple thereof)in
such order of maturities as determined by the City, and in such manner as the Paying Agent deems fair
within a maturity, at a price of par,without premium,plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
At least 30 days' notice of redemption will be mailed to the person whose name appears in the
bond registration books as the registered owner of a Bond as of the close of business on the forty-fifth day
immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption.
Authority for Issuance
The Bonds have been authorized in accordance with the Constitution and statutes of the State of
Nebraska, the Charter and proceedings of the Council providing for the issuance thereof, including the
Ordinance. The issuance of the Various Purpose Bonds for the purposes referred to in the first sentence
under"DISPOSITION OF BOND PROCEEDS FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES AND REFUNDING" was
approved by the voters of the City at the May 9, 2006 elections relating to each such purpose. The
issuance of the Refunding Bonds for the refunding purposes referred to in the second sentence under such
heading was approved by the City Council by authority of Sections 10-142, 10-615 and 10-616, Reissue
Revised Statutes of Nebraska, as amended, and applicable provisions of the Charter.
Security
The Bonds are general obligations of the City, and the City is obligated to levy ad valorem taxes
for the payment of said Bonds and the interest thereon upon all property within the City subject to
taxation by the City without limitation as to rate or amount. The full faith and credit of the City shall be
pledged to the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. See"SOURCES OF CITY
REVENUES—Authority to Levy Property Taxes"herein.
Revisions of State Property Tax System
The State of Nebraska's system of assessing and taxing real and personal property for purposes of
local ad valorem taxation for support of local political subdivisions, including the City, has been the
subject in recent years of constitutional amendment, legislation and litigation the result of which has been
to substantially resolve certain challenges to the validity of the tax system.
Governmental units in Nebraska may not adopt budgets for fiscal years beginning on or after
July 1, 1998, in excess of 102.5% of the prior fiscal year's budget plus allowable growth(which includes
increases in taxable valuation for such things as new construction and annexations). However, such
budgetary limitations do not apply to, among other things, revenue pledged to retire bonded indebtedness
or budgeted for capital improvements. Governmental units may exceed the budget limit for a given fiscal
year by up to an additional 1%upon the affirmative vote of at least 75%of the governing body or in such
amount as is approved by a majority vote of the electorate. Effective July 1, 1998, the property tax levies
of incorporated cities and villages, such as the City, are limited to a maximum of 450/$100 of taxable

valuation(plus an additional 50/$100 to pay the municipality's share of revenue required under interlocal
agreements). The levy limit does not apply to levies for preexisting lease-purchase contracts approved
prior to July 1, 1998, to bonded indebtedness, such as the Bonds, approved according to law and secured
by a levy on property and to pay judgments. The City's 2010 General Fund levy, exclusive of such
unlimited levies, is 28.4470/$100 of taxable valuation. A political subdivision may exceed its levy
limitation for a period of up to five years by majority vote of the electorate.
There can be no assurance that Nebraska's system of assessing and taxing real and personal
property will remain substantially unchanged, given the possibility of further legislation and litigation.
Such changes could materially and adversely affect the amount of property tax revenues the City and
other local governments could collect in future years. The City does not believe, however, that the
Nebraska Legislature would leave the City without adequate taxing resources to pay for its programs and
meet its financial obligations, including the repayment of its bonds, lease-purchase obligations and other
obligations. The opinion of Bond Counsel will be rendered based on the law existing as of the date of
issuance of the Bonds and in reliance upon general legal presumptions in favor of the constitutionality of
statutes and upon the holdings of existing case law.
RATINGS
Standard& Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P"),
has given the Bonds a rating of" "and Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has given the Bonds
a rating of" " Any desired explanation of the significance of such ratings should be obtained from
S&P and from Moody's. The City furnished the rating agencies with certain information and materials
relating to the Bonds and the City which have not been included in this Official Statement. Generally, a
rating agency bases its rating on the information and materials so furnished and on investigations, studies
and assumptions made by such rating agency. There is no assurance that a particular rating will be
maintained for any given period of time or that it will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely if, in the
judgment of the agency originally establishing the rating, circumstances so warrant. Neither the City nor
the Underwriter has undertaken any responsibility either to bring to the attention of the owners of the
Bonds any proposed revision or withdrawal of the rating of the Bonds or to oppose any such proposed
revision or withdrawal. Any such change in or withdrawal of such rating could have an adverse effect on
the market price of the Bonds. Any explanation of the significance of such ratings should be obtained
from the rating agency furnishing such rating.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The Ordinance includes the City's undertaking(the "Undertaking") for the benefit of the holders
and beneficial owners of the Bonds to send certain financial information and operating data to the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ("MSRB") annually and to provide notice to the MSRB of
certain events, pursuant to the requirements of Section(b)(5)(i) of Securities and Exchange Commission
Rule 15c2-12 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12) (the"Rule"). See"APPENDIX C—FORM OF CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING."
A failure by the City to comply with the Undertaking will not constitute an event of default with
respect to the Bonds, although any holder will have any available remedy at law or in equity, including
seeking specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under the
Undertaking. Any such failure must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by
any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending the purchase or sale of the Bonds
in the secondary market. Consequently, such a failure may adversely affect the transferability and
liquidity of the Bonds and their market price. The City is in compliance with its previous undertakings
under the Rule.

UNDERWRITING
Under a Bond Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into by and between the City and
D.A.Davidson &Co. (the "Underwriter"), the Bonds are being purchased at a price of par plus an
original issue premium of$ (from which will be paid $ of Underwriter's discount)by
the Underwriter for public reoffering by the Underwriter at the initial public offering prices or yields set
forth on the inside of the cover page of this Official Statement. The Agreement provides that the
Underwriter will purchase all of the Bonds if any are purchased. The obligation of the Underwriter to
accept delivery of the Bonds is subject to various conditions contained in the Agreement, including the
absence of pending or threatened litigation questioning the validity of the Bonds or any proceedings in
connection with the issuance thereof and the absence of material adverse changes in the financial or
business condition of the City.
The Underwriter intends to offer the Bonds to the public initially at the offering prices set forth
on the inside of the cover page of this Official Statement, which prices may subsequently change without
any requirement of prior notice. The Underwriter reserves the right to join with dealers and other
underwriters in offering the Bonds to the public. The Underwriter may offer and sell Bonds to certain
dealers(including dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than the public offering
price.
LEGAL OPINION
The approving opinion of Kutak Rock LLP ("Bond Counsel") will affirm, among other things,
that the Bonds have been authorized and issued in accordance with the Constitution and statutes of the
State of Nebraska and the Charter of the City of Omaha, and constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the City, and that the City has the power and is obligated to levy ad valorem taxes for the
payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon upon all the property within the City subject to taxation by
the City without limitation as to rate or amount. The rights of the holders of the Bonds and the
enforceability thereof may be subject to valid bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws for the relief of debtors.
TAX EXEMPTION
Federal and State Tax Exemption
In the opinion of Kutak Rock LLP, Bond Counsel,to be delivered at the time of original issuance
of the Bonds, under existing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest on the Bonds
(including any original issue discount treated as interest) (a)is excludable from gross income for federal
income tax purposes and(b)is not a specific item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal
alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. Interest on the Bonds, however, must
be included in the "adjusted current earnings" of certain corporations (i.e., alternative minimum taxable
income as adjusted for certain items, including those items that would be included in the calculation of a
corporation's earnings and profits under Subchapter C of the Code) and such corporations are required to
include in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income 75%of the excess of each such
corporation's adjusted current earnings (which includes tax-exempt interest)over its alternative minimum
taxable income (determined without regard to this adjustment and prior to reduction for certain net
operating losses)
The opinions set forth above are subject to continuing compliance by the City with its covenants
regarding federal tax laws in the Ordinance. Failure to comply with such covenants could cause interest
on the Bonds to be included in gross income retroactive to the date of issue of the Bonds.

The accrual or receipt of interest on the Bonds may otherwise affect the federal income tax
liability of certain recipients, such as banks,thrift institutions,property and casualty insurance companies,
corporations (including S corporations and foreign corporations operating branches in the United States),
Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefit recipients,taxpayers otherwise entitled to claim the earned
income credit or taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred(or continued) indebtedness to purchase
or carry tax-exempt obligations. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences will depend upon
the recipients' particular tax status or other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel expresses no
opinion regarding any such consequences, and investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding
the tax consequences of purchasing or holding the Bonds.
In Bond Counsel's further opinion, under the existing laws of the State of Nebraska, the interest
on the Bonds is exempt from Nebraska state income taxation so long as it is exempt for purposes of the
federal income tax.
Future Legislation
From time to time,there are legislative proposals in the Congress and in the states that,if enacted,
could alter or amend the federal and state tax matters referred to above or adversely affect the market
value of the Bonds. An example is the American Jobs Act of 2011 (S. 1549), proposed by the President
and introduced in the Senate on September 13, 2011. If enacted as introduced, a provision of S. 1549
would limit the amount of exclusions (including tax-exempt interest) and deductions available to certain
high income taxpayers for taxable years after 2012, and as a result could affect the market price or
marketability of the Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal might be
enacted or whether if enacted it would apply to bonds issued prior to enactment. In addition, regulatory
actions are from time to time announced or proposed and litigation is threatened or commenced which, if
implemented or concluded in a particular manner, could adversely affect the market value of the Bonds.
It cannot be predicted whether any such regulatory action will be implemented, how any particular
litigation or judicial action will be resolved, or whether the Bonds or their market value would be affected
thereby. Purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed
legislation, regulatory initiatives or litigation. The opinions expressed by Bond Counsel are based upon
existing legislation and regulations as interpreted by relevant judicial and regulatory authorities as of the
date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, and Bond Counsel has expressed no opinion as of any date
subsequent thereto or with respect to any pending legislation,regulatory initiatives or litigation.
LITIGATION
The City is party to legal proceedings which occur in government operations and include claims
for property damage and personal injury, contract disputes, discrimination claims and property
condemnation proceedings. The legal proceedings, in the opinion of the City management, based on the
advice of the City Attorney, are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on the City's financial
position at September 1, 2011, after giving effect to available funds provided for such contingencies in the
Judgment, Cash Reserve and Contingent Liability Reserve Funds and alternative methods of satisfying
judgments,these being identified as:
—City's authority to levy under Judgment Fund set by Home Rule Charter.
—State Statute, Section 77-1620 R.R.S. 1943,which authorizes a special levy for
payment of judgments.
—State Statute, Section 13-918 R.R.S. 1943,which authorizes the City to borrow money
from the State to satisfy certain judgments.

opinion that there is a reasonable possibility that the City will incur additional losses on these lawsuits of
approximately$6,526,000.

3In 1982, the City of Omaha inaugurated a new annexation policy. The current annexation policy is designed to create annual,
balanced annexation packages and establish consistency from year to year. Such annexation packages combine areas with
relatively high outstanding indebtedness in relation to assessed valuation with other areas that have a more positive financial
picture. These balanced packages can then be added to the City without tax increase to cover retirement of the additional debt
assumed by the City. Under this approach,Omaha has grown by approximately 95,939 people and 41 square miles as a result of
annexations since 1980.

payments on those lease purchase agreements,mostly short-term,are in each case$500,000 or less.
2 Payable from certain property tax revenues and payments to be made to it by the City of Omaha and Douglas County under
certain contractual agreements. Actual rental payments by the City for 2010 were$1,400,000. The Act authorizing issuance of
bonds by the Omaha-Douglas Public Building Commission(the"Commission")permits the Commission to levy a tax of$.017
per$100 of actual valuation on all the taxable property in Douglas County; the levy for 2010-11 is $0.013 per$100 of actual
valuation. However, although the same Act authorizes the City to levy a tax on all the taxable property in the City, except
intangible property,of$0.017 per$100 of actual valuation in excess of the Charter limitation described under"AUTHORITY TO
LEVY TAXES,"if and to the extent necessary to make the City's payments to the Commission,no such levy has ever been made
by the City for such purpose.

2011.
The City's ratio of direct and overlapping debt ($1,033,558,739) to its 2011 property valuation
($27,483,461,755)is 3.76%.

agreements), is obligated to provide for annual payments which are a charge on the General Fund and the
Parking Revenue Fund. From 2010 to 2040, the highest annual payment is $15,566,019 (in 2012), the
lowest is $7,435,015 (in 2040); and the average annual payment is $10,118,103. Such annual payments

Charter of the City of Omaha, the outstanding amount of any lease purchase agreements executed by the
City as vendee or as lessee is not chargeable against the City debt limit.

DEBT MANAGEMENT
General Obligation Debt Margin
Article V, Section 5.27,Home Rule Charter of the City of Omaha, 1956, as amended,provides:
The total amount of general obligation indebtedness outstanding at any
time,which shall include bonds issued but shall not include bonds
authorized until they are issued, shall not exceed 3.5 per cent of the
actual value of taxable real and personal property in the city.
Computation of the general obligation debt margin as defined in the Home Rule Charter, based
upon valuations,reflects the following:
Maximum debt limit(3.5%of total assessed valuation) $941,146,622
General obligation bonds outstanding 526,180,000
Less balance in General Obligation Debt (16,693,476) (509,486,524)
Service Fund December 31,2010
General obligation debt margin $431,660,098
Revenue bond indebtedness, special obligation bonds, general obligation notes and
lease-purchase agreements are not chargeable against the general obligation debt margin. The City of
Omaha has no general obligation notes outstanding. Revenue and special obligation bond indebtedness
and lease purchase agreement obligations are set forth herein under the captions "OVERLAPPING
DEBT" and "LONG-TERM CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS—City of Omaha and Local Authorities
and Districts Revenue and Special Obligation Bonds Outstanding."
Debt Payment Record
The City of Omaha has never defaulted on its obligations to pay principal of or interest on its
indebtedness.
General Obligation Bonds Authorized But Unissued
Upon the issuance of the Various Purpose Bonds, the City will have $100,746,000 of general
obligation bonds authorized but unissued, of which $79,300,000 were approved by the City electorate on
May 11, 2010. The City anticipates that these bonds will be issued in varying amounts annually through
2016.
CASH RESERVE FUND
At a special City election held on November 6, 1984, voters of the City approved an amendment
to Section 5.03 of the City Charter to provide in subsection(10) for the establishment of a cash reserve
fund("Cash Reserve Fund") for the purpose of meeting emergencies arising from:
(a) the loss or partial loss of a revenue source;

The 1984 amendment to the City Charter authorized the appropriation at the close of any fiscal
year for credit to the Cash Reserve Fund of any amount, or portion thereof, held as General Fund surplus.
Income earned on amounts credited to the Cash Reserve Fund is retained in the fund. The maximum size
of the Cash Reserve Fund was established at an amount equal to 4%of General Fund appropriations.
The ordinance adopted by the City Council to close Fiscal 1984 Accounts provided that the sum
of $1,600,000 be transferred from 1984 available budgetary balances as the initial credit to the Cash
Reserve Fund to be held as provided in Section 5.03(10) of the City Charter. In 2009, $2.7 million was
transferred to the General Fund, leaving the balance as of December 31, 2009 of$2,945,881.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS: RETIREMENT SYSTEMS
General
The City of Omaha negotiates with four major unions: The Civilian Management Professional
and Technical Employees Council; The Omaha City Employees, Local No. 251; The Omaha Association
of Firefighters, Local No. 385 (the"Fire Union"); and The Omaha Police Union,Local No. 1 (the"Police
Union"). Current agreements with the four unions expire as follows: The Civilian Management
Professional and Technical Employees Council—December 22, 2012; Omaha Association of Firefighters,
Local No. 385—December 29, 2008; Omaha City Employees, Local No. 251—December 22, 2012; and
Omaha Police Union,Local No. 1—December 21,2013.
The negotiating procedure involves meeting with the designated union representatives and
discussing economic and noneconomic items regarding contractual agreements. At any time, should an
impasse be reached, Nebraska law provides that either party may appeal to the Nebraska Commission of
Industrial Relations. Either party may appeal the decision of such Commission to the Nebraska Supreme
Court,whose decision is final.
Investors should note that (i)the information included in herein relating to the City's Uniform
Plan and Civilian Plan (each as hereinafter defined) relies on information produced by Cavanaugh
Macdonald Consulting, LLC (the "Actuary"), (ii)actuarial assessments are "forward-looking"
information that reflect the judgment of the fiduciaries of the plans, and (iii)actuarial assessments are
based upon a variety of assumptions, one or more of which may prove to be inaccurate or be changed in
the future, and will change with the future experience of plans. The City engaged Cavanaugh Macdonald
Consulting, LLC in 2011 pursuant to a request for proposal process. Cavanaugh replaced Milliman
Consultants and Actuaries as the City's actuary as of that date.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Valuations of the plans use the"entry age-normal"cost method. Under this actuarial method, the
value of future costs attributable to future employment of participants is determined. The value of future
costs attributable to past employment of participants, which is called the actuarial liability, is equal to the

present value of benefits less the present value of future normal costs. The unfunded actuarial liability is
equal to the excess of the actuarial liability over assets. The unfunded actuarial liability is funded as a
level percent of payroll over a 30 year closed period that began January 1, 2002.
As experience develops with the plans, actuarial gains and actuarial losses result. These actuarial
gains and losses indicate the extent to which actual experience is deviating from that expected on the
basis of the actuarial assumptions. In each year, as they occur, actuarial gains and losses are recognized
in the unfunded actuarial liability as of the actuarial valuation date.
The plans use an asset-smoothing method in the actuarial valuation process. As a result, each
plan's funded status and the targeted contribution are based on the actuarial (smoothed)value of assets—
not the actual market value. See the two tables below for a comparison of each plan's Market Value of
Assets to its Actuarial Value of Assets.

CITY OF OMAHA EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM
The City of Omaha Employees' Retirement System (the "Civilian Plan") became effective on
January 1, 1949. Certain of its provisions,which are governed by Chapter 22.21 of the Omaha Municipal
Code, are summarized herein. The Civilian Plan is a single-employer defined benefit plan with a fiscal
year that ends December 31. Under the Civilian Plan, there are 1,130 active members, 914 retirees, 247
beneficiaries, 120 disabled members and 82 deferred vested members for a total of 2,493.
All city employees except the following are covered by the Civilian Plan: police; firefighters;
persons paid on a contractual or fee basis; seasonal, temporary and part-time employees; and elected
officials who do not make written application to the Civilian Plan. Prior service credit is granted for
employment with the City before January 1, 1949, and membership service credit is granted for
employment thereafter. Compulsory military duty and voluntary military duty in time of war count as
service.

value of future costs attributable to future employment of participants is determined. The value of future
costs attributable to past employment of participants, which is called the actuarial liability, is equal to the

Early retirement is permitted at age 50 with five years of service, with the accrued benefit
reduced 8% per year for retirement prior to age 60. For employees whose age plus service equals or •
exceeds 80, the 8% per year reduction is eliminated. An employee's monthly pension is equal to
2.25%of average final monthly compensation for each year of service.
The historical City contributions are as follows:

Notes Regarding the above table:(1)The actuarial value of assets is determined based on a method that smoothes the effects of
short term volatility in the market value of investments.The actuarial value is equal to the expected value,based on the assumed
rate of return,plus 25%of the difference between market and expected values.A corridor of 80%to 120%of market value is
also applied;(2)Economic assumptions are as follows:(a)Investment return rate: 8.00%,(b)Salary increase rates:from 10%at
1 year of service to 4%at 20 years of service,(c)Inflation rate:3.5%,(d)Payroll growth:4.00%,(e)Post-retirement benefit
increases:Applicable after 5 years equal to the lesser of 3%or$50 per month for members(and their beneficiaries)who retired
on or before January 28, 1998;and(3)The amortization method is a closed 30 year period,level percentage of payroll(the
unfunded actuarial liability is amortized over 21 years as of January 1,2011).

Funding Status
Strong investment performance in 2009 and 2010 has help reduce the deferred investment loss
from the 2008 fiscal year. However, despite returns in both 2009 and 2010 that were higher than the
expected return of 8%, the actuarial value of assets on January 1, 2011 was $8 million greater than the
market value of assets on the same date. The funded ratio of the Civilian Plan, on a market value basis,
has increased from 52% in the January 1, 2009 actuarial valuation to 57% in the January 1, 2011
valuation.Even with the favorable investment experience,the increase in the Civilian Plan's funded status
represents only a modest improvement in the long term funding of the Civilian Plan. The Civilian Plan
faces a significant challenge based on the contribution shortfall between the actuarial contribution rate
and the current fixed member and employer contribution rates.
The actuarial contribution rate of the System is composed of two parts:
(1) The normal cost (which is the allocation of costs attributed to the current year's
membership service); and
(2) The amortization payment on the Unfunded Actuarial Liability.
The normal cost rate is independent of the Civilian Plan's funded status and represents the cost,
as a percent of payroll, of the benefits provided by the Civilian Plan which is allocated to the current year
of service. The total normal cost for the Civilian Plan is 13.830% of pay, or about $7.6 million in the
2011 fiscal year. When offset by the expected employee contributions, the City portion of the normal
cost is 4.505%of pay, or about$2.5 million. The normal cost represents the long-term cost of the benefit
structure of the Civilian Plan.
The Civilian Plan's total actuarially determined contribution rate (payable as a % of member
payroll)increased by 0.36%of pay,to 33.91%on January 1, 2011, from 33.55%on January 1,2010. The
Civilian Plan has an unfunded actuarial liability of $169 million (actuarial liability is greater than
actuarial assets). The unfunded actuarial liability is being funded over a closed 30-year period beginning
January 1, 2002 of which 21 years remain as of the valuation data. The resulting payment is 20.083% of
pay. As a result, the total contribution for 2011 is 33.913% of pay (13.830% + 20.083%). The City's
required contribution rate in the city ordinance for 2011 is 11.025% and the employees contribute is
9.325%,which results in a contribution shortfall for 2011 of 13.563%of pay.
The latest actuarial study by the Actuary was for the period ended December 31, 2010 and
included an 8.0% investment rate of return assumption. Summarized below is financial information
concerning the Civilian Plan for the last six fiscal years.

Asset Allocation
The Pension Board of the Civilian Plan with the recommendation from its investment committee
approves fund manager agreements. Such management agreements provide specific investment
requirements. The Civilian Plan does restrict the general asset allocation to fixed income assets. The
Civilian Plan target range for fixed income assets is between 12% and 28%. As of December 31, 2010,
the Civilian Plan was not within these guidelines due to an update of the asset allocation, and new
guidelines are being established to take this into account. Under the Civilian Plan's investment guidelines
equity investments shall be 25.5 — 54.0% of the portfolio with large cap domestics (6.5 — 13.5%), small
cap domestics (9.6 — 20.0%), and international equities (9.5 — 20.5%). Domestic real estate securities
shall be 9.5—20.5% of the portfolio. The investments may be held individually or commingled in mutual
funds and investment pools. There are no individual investments greater than 5% with a single issuer.
See the table below for a breakdown of investment type and accompanying asset value:

Current Developments
In regard to the Civilian Plan, contribution rates for both the employees and the City have been
increased by negotiations through December 22, 2012. The City and the civilian bargaining groups are
continuing to negotiate solutions to address the Civilian Plan's unfunded actuarial accrued liability. It is
expected that new contract provisions beginning in 2013 will provide additional funding to the Plan.
POLICE AND FIRE RETIREMENT SYSTEM
The City of Omaha Police and Fire Retirement System(the"Uniform Plan")became effective on
July 1, 1961. Certain of its provisions, which are governed by Chapter 22.61 of the Omaha Municipal
Code, are summarized herein. The Uniform Plan is a single-employer defined benefit plan with a fiscal
year that ends December 31. Under the Uniform Plan, there are 1,422 active members, 939 retirees, 275
beneficiaries, 240 disabled members and 9 deferred vested members for a total of 2,885.
Membership in the Uniform Plan is limited to and shall include only probationary and regular
uniformed personnel of the Police and Fire Departments. For sworn fire personnel, retirement is optional
at age at age 45 with 20 years of service with a lifetime monthly service retirement benefit equal to
53%of average final monthly compensation. With 25 years of service or more, an employee can retire at
the minimum age of 45 with a lifetime monthly retirement benefit equal to 75%of average final monthly
compensation. For sworn police personnel, under the new contract the minimum years of service for a
maximum pension benefit of 75% of average monthly compensation increased from 25 years to 30 years.
Additionally, under the new police contract sworn personnel hired after January 1, 2010, the minimum
age for a normal service retirement is 50. For current sworn police personnel, retirement is optional at
45 with 20 years of service with a lifetime monthly service retirement benefit equal to 50%of average
monthly compensation. With 30 years of service or more, an employee can retire at the minimum age of
45 with a lifetime monthly retirement benefit equal to 75%of average final monthly compensation.

Notes Regarding this Schedule: (1)The actuarial value of assets is determined based on a method that smoothes the effects of
short term volatility in the market value investments. The actuarial value is equal to the expected value,based on the assumed
rate of return,plus 1/3 of the difference between market and expected values. A corridor of 80%to 120%of market value is also
applied; (2) Economic assumptions are as follows: (a)Investment return rate: 8.00%, (b) Salary increase rates: from 6.5%at 1
year of service to 4% at 30 years of service, (c) Inflation rate: 3.5%, (d) Payroll growth: 4.00%, (e) Post-retirement benefit
increases:the lesser of 3%or$50($65 for Fire retirements after June 30,2007. The increase will be made annually,beginning in
the 13th month of retirement; and (3) The amortization method is a closed 30 year period, level percentage of payroll (the
unfunded actuarial liability is amortized over 22 years as of January 1,2011).

Funding Status
Significant changes to the benefit structure for Police members are reflected in the 2011
valuation. The new police contract signed with the Police Union in September 2010 provided for
significant increases to the future contributions to the Uniform Plan as well as significant reductions to the
benefit provisions for current and future police members which lowered the cost of the Uniform Plan.
The changes in the Uniform Plan provisions for police members resulted in a decrease in the unfunded

actuarial liability of$52 million and a decrease in the normal cost rate of 5.23% (for police members).
The contribution shortfall for 2011 is down to 18.71% from 28.16% last year, a dramatic improvement.
The changes in the police contract are expected to produce a significant improvement in the sustainability
of the Uniform Plan over the long term. The full impact of the provisions of the new police contract are
not reflected in the 2011 valuation because some of the benefit changes are effective only for new hires
and,thus, will unfold over time as new hires replace current active members. As of the date this Official
Statement, a contract has not been finalized with the Fire Union, so the same benefit structure as last year
was used in the 2011 valuation. Based upon the studies conducted by the prior actuary, if similar changes
are made to the benefit provisions for fire members,the Uniform Plan's long term funding outlook will be
further improved and expected to become fully funded in about 45 years if all actuarial assumptions are
met.
During 1977, on the basis of an actuarial balance sheet prepared as of January 1, 1977, the
District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska made a determination relative to the unfunded liability for
past service credits and the method of funding such amount. The City had adopted a policy whereby the
employer contributions each year exceeded the matching requirements and served to amortize in part the
past service costs. Commencing in 1979, the City contributes to the Police and Firemen's Retirement
System the sum of$1,327,600 per year for 50 years to provide for the amortization of the prior service
cost.
The latest actuarial study by the Actuary was for the period ended December 31, 2010 and
included an 8.0%rate of return investment assumption. Summarized below is financial information
concerning the Uniform Plan for the last six years.

Asset Allocation
The Pension Board of the Uniform Plan with the recommendation from its investment committee
approves fund manager agreements. Such management agreements outline specific investment policies.
The Uniform Plan does restrict the general asset allocation to only fixed income assets. The Uniform
Plan's target range for fixed income assets is between 16% and 28% of the portfolio value. As of
December 31, 2010, the Uniform Plan was not within guidelines due to an update of the asset allocation,
and new guidelines are being established to take this into account. Under the Uniform Plan's investment
guidelines equity investments shall be 33.0 — 71.0% of the portfolio with large cap domestics (13.0 —
27.0%), small cap domestics (6.0 — 14.0%), and international equities (14.0 — 30.0%). Domestic real
estate securities shall be 9.0 — 21.0% of the portfolio. The investments may be held individually or
commingled in mutual funds and investment pools. There are no individual investments greater than 5%
with a single issuer. See the table below for a breakdown of investment type and accompanying asset
value:

Current Developments
The Fire Union has been negotiating with the City since its contract expired in 2008. The Fire
Union has filed several lawsuits against the City with the Nebraska Commission of Industrial Relations
("CIR") since the expiration of its contract. There are currently at least three pending cases before the
CIR regarding the relationship between the City and the Fire Union. One such case is for 2010 wages.
Another case charges that the City Council committed a prohibited practice in handling labor agreement
negotiations when it failed to adopt the new Fire Contract which had been negotiated between the Fire
Union and the Mayor. The City Council recently passed a resolution removing negotiation authority from
the Mayor and is in the process of retaining counsel to handle ongoing negotiations with the Fire Union.
Finally, there is a case filed by the Fire Union challenging the manner in which the City implemented a
2008 CIR decision.
Central to the current negotiations between the City and the Fire Union is the status of the pension
benefits and employee funding requirements under the Uniform Plan. The Police Union has threatened to
petition the CIR to bifurcate the Uniform Plan into separate systems—one for each Union—if the Fire
Union will not adopt similar changes to its contract that the Police Union approved last year. The City
cannot predict what will be the outcome of the continued negotiations or the CIR cases.

Employment Benefits Other Than Pensions. GASB 43 was implemented by the City for fiscal year
ending December 31, 2006 and GASB 45 was implemented by the City for fiscal year ending
December 31,2007.
GASB 45 requires the accounting for the annual cost of OPEB and the related outstanding
liability using an actuarial approach similar to pensions. The City implemented prospectively (zero net.
obligation at transition).
Plan Description
The City provides certain postemployment health care benefits to eligible retirees and their
dependents in accordance with provisions established in Chapter 23 of the Omaha Municipal Code. The
plan is a single-employer defined benefit health care plan administered by the City. The plan does not
issue separate fmancial statements.
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established through labor
negotiations,with the Police Union,the Fire Union,the Omaha City Employees Local No. 251, and other
classified civilian and sworn employees. All agreements are approved and can be amended by the Omaha
City Council. Contributions are made to the plan based on a pay-as-you-go basis and the City self-insures
this benefit. For the year ended December 31, 2010,the City paid$18,165,428 for 1,111 retirees. Retiree
contribution rates vary from 0% to 5% of an annual estimated premium depending on the bargaining
group date of retirement. Retiree contributions for 2010 were $545,576. In addition, the City received a
$1,097,461 reimbursement payment under the Affordable Care Act.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City's annual OPEB expense is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the
employer ("ARC"), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB 45.
The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal
cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not
to exceed 30 years. The City's annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to
the plan,and the net OPEB obligation for 2010 are as follows(unaudited):

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Actuarial valuations on an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value-reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality and the health care cost trend. Amounts determined
regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject
to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are
made about the future. The following Schedule of Funding Progress presents multiyear trend
information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative
to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan(the plan
as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include benefits provided at the time of each
valuation and the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between the employer and plan member to that
point. The actuarial methods used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term
volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term
perspective of the calculations. In the March 1, 2010 actuarial valuation, the unit credit actuarial cost
method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 4%projected investment rate of return and
an annual health care cost trend of 9.30% initially, reduced by decrements to.an ultimate rate of
4.70%after 72 years. Both rates include a 3.25%inflation assumption. The amortization of the unfunded
actuarial accrued liability is calculated assuming 27 annual payments increasing at 4%per year.

The Bonds maturing November 15, 2022 and thereafter are subject to redemption at the option of
the City of Omaha at any time on or after November 15, 2021 upon the terms and at the prices set forth
therein. The Bonds recite that they are issued by the City of Omaha to provide, (i)in the case of the
Various Purpose Bonds, for payment of the cost of certain streets and highways, sewers, public facilities,
public safety equipment and parks and recreation facilities and(ii) in the case of the Refunding Bonds, for
payment of the costs of refunding certain indebtedness of the City, and in each case under and pursuant to
and in full conformity with the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Nebraska and the Charter of the
City of Omaha, and pursuant to and in full compliance with the proceedings of the City Council of the
City of Omaha duly enacted and adopted.
The City has covenanted in the ordinance pursuant to which the Bonds have been issued to
comply with all necessary provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the"Code"), to
preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Noncompliance by the City with such restrictions may cause the interest on the Bonds to be subject to
federal income taxation retroactive to their date of issue.
We have examined the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Nebraska,the Charter of the City
of Omaha, certified copies of proceedings of the City Council of the City of Omaha authorizing the
issuance of the Bonds,and an executed bond of said issue.
In our opinion the Bonds have been authorized and issued in accordance with the Constitution
and Statutes of the State of Nebraska and the Charter of the City of Omaha, and constitute valid and
legally binding obligations of the City, and the City has the power and is obligated to levy ad valorem
taxes for the payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon upon all the property within the City of
Omaha subject to taxation by the City of Omaha without limitation as to rate or amount.
The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability thereof may be subject to valid
bankruptcy, insolvency,reorganization,moratorium and other laws for the relief of debtors.
It is also our opinion that, assuming compliance by the City of Omaha with the covenant referred
to in the fourth paragraph of this letter, the interest on the Bonds (including any original issue discount
treated as interest) is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not a special
preference item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and
corporations. Interest on the Bonds, however, must be included in the "adjusted current earnings" of
certain corporations (i.e., alternative minimum taxable income as adjusted for certain items, including
those items that would be included in the calculation of a corporation's earnings and profits under
Subchapter C of the Code) and such corporations are required to include in the calculation of alternative

minimum taxable income 75%of the excess of each such corporation's adjusted current earnings (which
includes tax-exempt interest) over its alternative minimum taxable income (determined without regard to
this adjustment and prior to reduction for certain net operating losses).
The accrual or receipt of interest on the Bonds may otherwise affect the federal income tax
liability of the recipient. The extent of these other tax consequences will depend upon the recipient's
particular tax status or other items of income or deduction. We express no opinion regarding any such
consequences. Purchasers of the Bonds, particularly purchasers that are corporations (including
S corporations and foreign corporations operating branches in the United States), property or casualty
insurance companies, banks, thrifts or other financial institutions, certain recipients of Social Security or
Railroad Retirement benefits, taxpayers otherwise entitled to claim the earned income credit or taxpayers
who may be deemed to have incurred (or continued) indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt
obligations are advised to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of purchasing or holding
the Bonds.
It is further our opinion that, under the existing laws of the State of Nebraska, interest income on
the Bonds is exempt from Nebraska state income taxation as long as it is exempt for purposes of the
federal income tax.
