REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
The City That Soars!
Item Approval of the issuance and sale of the educational facilities revenue notes, Series
2013A and Series 2013B and authorizing the execution of documents relating thereto
(Charter Schools Development Corporation/Hiawatha Academies Project).
Description
The City has the authority to conduit issue bank-qualified, tax-exempt (501(c)3)
bonds each year. In a conduit financing scenario, the City lends its authority to a
qualified non-profit, tax-exempt entity, and can take an administrative fee in return
for lending this authority.
Charter Schools Development Corporation, through the City’s bond attorney-Briggs
& Morgan, has asked Falcon Heights to utilize its conduit bonding authority in
order to refinance outstanding debt, the proceeds of which were used for the
acquisition and renovations to a charter school facility located at 3810 East 56th
Street in Minneapolis.
There is no financial risk or repayment liability to the City for allowing this, and the
conduit bonding does not affect the City’s bond rating. It will however, allow us to
collect a .5% fee for the refinancing. They anticipate refinancing approximately $8
million in bonds which would put the fee collected by the City at approximately
$40,000.
Staff recommends Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the conduit
bond financing.
Budget Impact It is anticipated that this conduit bond financing deal will result in one-time
revenues of approximately $40,000 for the City.

Re: City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota – Educational Facilities Revenue

Dear Mr. Isaacson:
Attached hereto in duplicate is the application of the City of Falcon Heights,
Minnesota (the "City"), for approval of the above referenced project (the "Project")
including a copy of the Resolution adopted by the City Council approving the issuance of
the notes.
As indicated in the attached Resolution, we believe that this Project fully meets
the public purpose requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.152 to 469.1655, as
amended (the "Act"). Charter Schools Development Corporation, a District of Columbia
nonprofit corporation, provides educational facilities by leasing public school buildings
to Hiawatha Academies, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, formed as public charter
schools pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 124D.10. The City Council desires to
help promote development of educational facilities and believes that the financing of the
Project by the issuance of the revenue notes will accomplish that objective. Reference is
made to the Resolution for a more definitive statement of the public purposes served by
the financing.
The Project does not contain any property to be sold or affixed or consumed in the
production of property for sale, and does not include any housing facility to be rented or
used as a permanent residence.
The City has complied with the notice and hearing requirements of Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.154, subdivision 4, and agrees it will comply with the reporting
requirements set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.154, subdivisions 5 and 7. The
public hearing was held on July 10, 2013 at 7:00 p.m., at the City Hall in the City of
Falcon Heights, a draft copy of the enclosed application with all attachments was
available for public inspection and all interested parties were afforded an opportunity to
express their views.
The City will undertake to encourage that the employment opportunities made
available by the Project will, if feasible, be offered to individuals who are unemployed or
who are economically disadvantaged.
We respectfully request prompt approval by the Minnesota Department of
Employment and Economic Development of the Project under the provisions of the Act.
Sincerely,
Peter Lindstrom

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE EDUCATIONAL
FACILITIES REVENUE NOTES, SERIES 2013A AND SERIES 2013B AND
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS RELATING THERETO
(CHARTER SCHOOLS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION/HIAWATHA ACADEMIES
PROJECT)
WHEREAS,
(a) Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 469.152 to 469.1655, as amended (the “Act”),
relating to municipal industrial development, gives municipalities the power to issue revenue
obligations for the purpose of financing industrial development and to enter into agreements
necessary or convenient in the exercise of the powers granted by the Act;
(b) The City Council of the City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota (the City”) has
received from Charter Schools Development Corporation, a nonprofit corporation organized
under the laws of the District of Columbia (the “Borrower”), a proposal that the City assist in
financing a Project hereinafter described through the issuance of revenue notes, as further
defined below, the “Notes,” pursuant to the Act;
(c) The City desires to facilitate the selective development of the community,
retain and help to provide the range of services and employment opportunities required by the
population, including educational services; and the Project will assist the City in achieving those
objectives and will enhance the image and reputation of the community;
(d) The project to be financed by the Notes is the (i) refinancing of certain
outstanding taxable indebtedness of the Borrower, the proceeds of which were used for the
acquisition of and renovations to a charter school facility located at 3810 East 56th Street,
Minneapolis, Minnesota (“Hiawatha Academies - Morris Park”); (ii) financing of improvements
to Hiawatha Academies - Morris Park consisting of new ceilings, a bathroom facility, kitchen
ventilation work, maintenance of unit ventilators and radiators and resurfacing of the parking lot;
and (iii) financing of the acquisition, construction and renovation of a charter school facility
located at 1611 East 46th Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota (“Hiawatha Academies - Northrup”
and, with Hiawatha Academies – Morris Park, the “Project”), including an approximately 15,400
square foot addition to the existing building. The Project will be owned by the Borrower and
leased to and operated by Hiawatha Academies, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation having
federal income tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status as a public (charter) school (the “School”).
(e) The City has been advised by representatives of the Borrower that
conventional, commercial financing to pay the capital cost of the Project is available only on a
5541838v2
limited basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic feasibility of operating the
Project would be significantly reduced;
(f) Based on representations of the Borrower, no public official of the City
has either a direct or indirect financial interest in the Project nor will any public official either
directly or indirectly benefit financially from the Project; and
(g) The Borrower has advised the City that a public hearing on the Project
was held on July 9, 2013 by the City of Minneapolis (“Minneapolis”) as the host city, after
notice was published as required by the Act and Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), at which public hearing all those appearing who desired to speak
were heard and written comments were accepted; and it is anticipated that Minneapolis will
approve the issuance of the Notes on July 19, 2013; and
(h) A public hearing on the Project was held on the date hereof by the City
Council, after notice was published and materials made available for public inspection at the City
Hall, all as required by the Act and Section 147(f) of the Code, at which public hearing all those
appearing who desired to speak were heard and written comments were accepted.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota
(the “City”), as follows:
SECTION 1. LEGAL AUTHORIZATION AND FINDINGS.
1.1 Findings. The City hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
(a) The City is a municipal corporation and a political subdivision of the State
of Minnesota and is authorized under the Act to assist the revenue producing project
herein referred to, and to issue and sell the Notes, as hereinafter defined, for the purpose,
in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Act and in this
Resolution.
(b) The issuance and sale of the Educational Facilities Revenue Notes, Series
2013A and Series 2013B (Charter Schools Development Corporation/Hiawatha
Academies Project) (the “Notes”) by the City, pursuant to the Act, is in the best interest
of the City, and the City hereby determines to issue the Notes and to sell the Notes to
Minnesota Bank & Trust in Edina, Minnesota, or another bank in Minnesota (the
“Lender”), as provided herein. The City will loan the proceeds of the Notes (the “Loan”)
to the Borrower in order to finance the Project.
(c) Pursuant to a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to be entered into
between the City and the Borrower, the Borrower has agreed to repay the Notes in
specified amounts and at specified times sufficient to pay in full when due the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains
provisions relating to the maintenance and operation of the Project, indemnification,
insurance, and other agreements and covenants which are required or permitted by the
Act and which the City and the Borrower deem necessary or desirable for the financing
of the Project. A draft of the Loan Agreement has been submitted to the City Council.
5541838v2
2
(d) Pursuant to a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) to be entered
into between the City and the Lender, the City has pledged and granted a security interest
in all of its rights, title, and interest in the Loan Agreement to the Lender (except for
certain rights of indemnification and to reimbursement for certain costs and expenses). A
draft of the Pledge Agreement has been submitted to the City Council.
(e) Pursuant to two Mortgages, Security Agreements, Fixture Financing
Statements and Assignments of Leases and Rents (collectively, the “Mortgage”) to be
executed by the Borrower in favor of the Lender, the Borrower has secured payment of
amounts due under the Loan Agreement and Notes by granting to the Lender a mortgage
and security interest in the property described therein. A draft of the Mortgage has been
submitted to the City Council.
(f) Pursuant to a Disbursing Agreement (the “Disbursing Agreement”) to be
entered into between the Lender, a disbursing agent and the Borrower, the proceeds of the
Notes will be disbursed to the Borrower for the acquisition, construction and equipping of
the Project. A draft of the Disbursing Agreement has been submitted to the City Council.
(g) Pursuant to one or more Lease Agreements (collectively, the “Lease”) to
be entered into between the Borrower and the Lessee, the Project will be leased to and
operated by the School.
(h) The Notes will be special, limited obligations of the City. The Notes shall
not be payable from or charged upon any funds other than the revenues pledged to the
payment thereof, nor shall the City be subject to any liability thereon. No holder of the
Notes shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City to
pay the Notes or the interest thereon, nor to enforce payment thereof against any property
of the City. The Notes shall not constitute a debt of the City within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory limitation.
(i) On the basis of information available to the City it appears, and the City
hereby finds, that the Project constitutes properties, real and personal, used or useful in
connection with one or more revenue producing enterprises, whether or not operated for
profit, within the meaning of Subdivision 2(b) of Section 469.153 of the Act; that the
Project furthers the purposes stated in Section 469.152; that the availability of the
financing under the Act and the willingness of the City to furnish such financing will be a
substantial inducement to the Borrower to undertake the Project, and that the effect of the
Project, if undertaken, will be to assist in the prevention of the emergence of blighted and
marginal land, to help prevent chronic unemployment, to help the surrounding area retain
and eventually improve the tax base, to provide the range of service and employment
opportunities required by the population, to help prevent the movement of talented and
educated persons out of the state and to areas within the state where their services may
not be as effectively used, to promote more intensive development and use of land within
the City of Minneapolis and surrounding communities, and to provide available adequate
educational services to residents of the state at a reasonable cost.
5541838v2
3

Act to issue the Notes for the purpose of financing the costs of the Project.

rise to a pecuniary liability of the City or, to the extent permitted by law, any of the City’s
officers, employees and agents. No holder of the Notes shall ever have the right to compel any
exercise of the taxing power of the City to pay the Notes or the interest thereon, or to enforce
payment thereof against any property of the City other than the revenues pledged under the
Pledge Agreement; and the Notes shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or
equitable, upon any property of the City; and the Notes shall not constitute a debt of the City
within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation; but nothing in the Act impairs
the rights of the Lender to enforce the covenants made for the security thereof as provided in this
Resolution, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, and the Disbursing Agreement, and in
the Act, and by authority of the Act, the City has made the covenants and agreements herein for
the benefit of the Lender; provided that in any event, the agreement of the City to perform or
enforce the covenants and other provisions contained in the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the
Pledge Agreement, and the Disbursing Agreement shall be subject at all times to the availability
of revenues under the Loan Agreement sufficient to pay all costs of such performance or the
enforcement thereof, and the City shall not be subject to any personal or pecuniary liability
thereon.
3.5 Qualified Tax Exempt Obligation. In order to qualify the Notes as “qualified tax-
exempt obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), the City hereby makes the following factual statements and
representations;
(a) the Notes are not treated as a “private activity bond” under Section
265(b)(3) of the Code;
(b) the City hereby designates the Notes as qualified tax-exempt obligations
for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
5541838v2
7
(c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than
obligations described in clause (ii) of Section 265(b)(3)(C) of the Code) which will be
issued by the City (and all entities whose obligations will be aggregated with those of the
City) during the calendar year 2013 will not exceed $10,000,000;
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during the
calendar year 2013 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
and
(e) the aggregate face amount of the Notes does not exceed $10,000,000.
3.6 Approval of Program. The City has established a governmental program of
acquiring purpose investments for qualified 501(c)(3) projects. The governmental program is
one in which the following requirements of §1.148-1(b) of the federal regulations relating to tax-
exempt obligations shall be met:
(a) the program involves the origination or acquisition of purpose
investments;
(b) at least 95% of the cost of the purpose investments acquired under the
program represents one or more loans to a substantial number of persons representing the
general public, states or political subdivisions, 501(c)(3) organizations, persons who
provide housing and related facilities, or any combination of the foregoing;
(c) at least 95% of the receipts from the purpose investments are used to pay
principal, interest, or redemption prices on issues that financed the program, to pay or
reimburse administrative costs of those issues or of the program, to pay or reimburse
anticipated future losses directly related to the program, to finance additional purpose
investments for the same general purposes of the program, or to redeem and retire
governmental obligations at the next earliest possible date of redemption;
(d) the program documents prohibit any obligor on a purpose investment
financed by the program or any related party to that obligor from purchasing bonds of an
issue that finances the program in an amount related to the amount of the purpose
investment acquired from that obligor; and
(e) the City shall not waive the right to treat the investment as a program
investment.
SECTION 4. MISCELLANEOUS.
4.1 DEED Application. The financing of the Project by the issuance of the Notes by
the Issuer is subject to, among other things, (a) the approval of the Project by the City and the
Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, (b) final approval by the
City, the Borrower and the purchaser of the Notes as to the ultimate details of the financing, and
(c) review and approval of the proposed Project by Bond Counsel.
5541838v2
8
4.2 Reimbursement. In anticipation of the approval of the Project by the State of
Minnesota, Department of Employment and Economic Development and all other necessary
entities and the issuance of the Notes to finance all or a portion of the Project, and in order that
completion of the Project will not be unduly delayed when approved, the City hereby authorizes
the Borrower, in accordance with the provisions of the Act and subject to the terms and
conditions imposed by the Lender, to provide for the acquisition, construction, and equipping of
the Project by such means as shall be available to the Borrower and in the manner determined by
the Borrower, and without advertisement for bids as may be required for the construction and
acquisition of other municipal facilities; the City hereby ratifies, affirms, and approves all actions
heretofore taken by the Borrower consistent with and in anticipation of such authority; and the
Borrower is hereby authorized to make such expenditures and advances toward payment of that
portion of the costs of the Project to be financed from the proceeds of the Notes as the Borrower
considers necessary, including the use of interim, short-term financing, subject to reimbursement
from the proceeds of the Notes if and when delivered but otherwise without liability on the part
of the City.
4.3 Severability. If any provision of this Resolution shall be held or deemed to be or
shall, in fact, be inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any jurisdiction
or jurisdictions or in all jurisdictions or in all cases because it conflicts with any provisions of
any constitution or statute or rule or public policy, or for any other reason, such circumstances
shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable in
any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein
contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatever. The invalidity of any
one or more phrases, sentences, clauses or paragraphs in this Resolution contained shall not
affect the remaining portions of this Resolution or any part thereof.
4.4 Authentication of Transcript. The officers of the City are directed to furnish to
Bond Counsel certified copies of this Resolution and all documents referred to herein, and
affidavits or certificates as to all other matters which are reasonably necessary to evidence the
validity of the Notes. All such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any
heretofore furnished, shall constitute recitals of the City as to the correctness of all statements
contained therein.
4.5 Authorization to Execute Agreements. The forms of the proposed Loan
Agreement and the Pledge Agreement are hereby approved in substantially the form presented to
the City Council, together with such additional details therein as may be necessary and
appropriate and such modifications thereof, deletions therefrom and additions thereto as may be
necessary and appropriate and approved by Bond Counsel prior to the execution of the
documents. The Mayor and the Administrator of the City are authorized to execute the Loan
Agreement and the Pledge Agreement and such other documents as Bond Counsel consider
appropriate in connection with the issuance of the Notes, in the name of and on behalf of the
City. In the event of the absence or disability of the Mayor or the Administrator such officers of
the City as, in the opinion of the City Attorney, may act on their behalf, shall without further act
or authorization of the City Council do all things and execute all instruments and documents
required to be done or executed by such absent or disabled officers. The execution of any
instrument by the appropriate officer or officers of the City herein authorized shall be conclusive
evidence of the approval of such documents in accordance with the terms hereof.

Item Approve Park Dedication Fee for Urban Farm/CommonBond Redevelopment
Description
As part of the Hermes site redevelopment into an urban farm and CommonBond’s project,
the developers will need to pay a Park Dedication fee of 10% of land (not buildings) value.
The Ramsey County Assessor has the land portion of the property valued at $1,498,500
while the Pohlad Foundation purchased the property for $1 million. Instead of going
through a costly and lengthy appraisal process to gain a land value, both parties agreed to
set the property value for the Park Dedication purposes at $1.4 million.
City Staff were assisted in this process by a property attorney from the law office of
Campbell Knutson, the City’s present City Attorney. Staff and this attorney feel this is a
fair value and payment for the Park Dedication Fee on this redevelopment project and
recommends approval of the attached resolution.
Budget
Impact
This Park Dedication payment will be placed in the Parks Capital Fund as it is required the
dollars are spent on park related projects.
Attachment Resolution No. 13-17
