the Borrower (the "Purchaser"). The City will loan the proceeds of the Note (the "Loan")
to the Borrower in order to finance the Project.
(b) Pursuant to a Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") to be entered into
between the City and the Borrower, the City will loan to the Borrower the proceeds of the

Agreement (the "Disbursing Agreement") by and between the Borrower and the

required under the constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to make the City
Agreements and the Note valid and binding special, limited obligations of the City in
accordance with its terms.

conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, which terms and conditions the City
determines, based on representations of the Borrower, to be necessary, desirable, and
proper, to complete the acquisition, construction, and installation of the Project by such
means as shall be available to the Borrower and in the manner determined by the
Borrower, and with or without advertisement for bids as required for the acquisition and
installation of municipal facilities.

on the Note when due, and the Loan Agreement also provides that the Borrower is

but without limitation, adequate insurance thereon and insurance against all liability for
injury to persons or property arising from the operation thereof, and all taxes and special
assessments levied upon or with respect to the Project and payable during the term of the
Loan Agreement.

threatened against the City questioning the City's execution or delivery of the Note or the
City Agreements or questioning the due organization of the City, or the powers or
authority of the City to issue the Note and undertake the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(n) The execution, delivery, and performance of the City's obligations under
the Note and the City Agreements do not and will not violate any order against the City
of any court or other agency of government, or any indenture, agreement, or other
instrument to which the City is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or
be in conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or
both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument.
(o) The City hereby finds, determines, and declares, based on representations
of the Borrower, that it is in the public interest of the residents of the City that the Project

Exhibit A
MULTI -FAMILY RENTAL HOUSING PROGRAM OF THE
CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
FOR
AMBER UNION APARTMENTS PROJECT
November 13, 2019
Proposal; Authority. The City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota (the "City"), at the request
of the Borrower (defined below), proposes to issue revenue bonds, in one or more series, to assist
in financing the acquisition and construction of a multi -family rental housing project described
herein (this "Program") pursuant to applicable authority conferred upon the City by the laws of
the State of Minnesota, including without limitation Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as the
same may be amended from time to time (collectively, the "Act").
Purposes. In creating this Program, the City is acting in furtherance of its- findings that
the preservation of the quality of life in the City is in part dependent upon the maintenance and
provision of adequate, decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing stock; that accomplishing
the goals of this Program is a public purpose and will benefit the residents of the City; that the
need exists within the City to provide in a timely fashion additional affordable rental housing to
and for the benefit of persons of low and moderate income and their families residing and
expected to reside within the City; that there exist or are expected to exist persons and families
within the City who are and will be able to benefit from and are in need of the Program; that the
Program is necessary in view of the limited resources that may be available to such persons
relative to the expenses involved in accomplishing the type of objectives outlined in this Program
in the absence of one or more of the forms of assistance described herein or otherwise available
pursuant to the Act; and that the City hereby finds that such forms of assistance are often
necessary for the benefit of such persons, families, and goals and that, furthermore, the
successful implementation of the objectives of the kind described in this Program has been found
to provide impetus for the development of other housing in the City, as well as the general
development of the City, by other persons who are not the beneficiaries of such governmentally
sponsored or assisted activities.
Rental i-Iousiilg I'um05e5. More particularly, the City finds that there exists a need for
affordable multi -family rental housing for qualifying individuals and families, which need is not
being filled by private enterprise alone due to a variety of factors, including that the cost of new
construction of multi -family rental units may in many cases prove economically unfeasible,
given the high costs of construction and prevailing area rental levels, and that therefore
appropriate levels of public assistance may be helpful and necessary in bridging that gap.
General Description of the Program. This Program consists of the financing of the
acquisition and renovation of an existing historic office building into an approximately 128-unit
multi -family housing development known as Amber Union Apartments (the "Project"). The
owner of the Project pursuant to the financing will be Buhl GTA, LP, a Minnesota limited
partnership (the 'Borrower"), with Buhl GTA GP, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company,
as general partner.
A-1
Location. This Program is limited to the Project. The Project is located at 1667 Snelling
Avenue, in Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
Units. The Project is currently anticipated to consist of the following units:

Estimated Initial Rents
$1,050
$1,125
$1,350
$1,560
$1,740
Revenue Bonds. The amount of revenue bonds required to finance this Program will not
exceed $40,000,000. The City preliminarily intends to finance the Program by issuing bonds, in
one or more series. The proceeds will finance the acquisition and construction of the Project and
pay costs of issuing the bonds. The revenue bonds are expected to be issued in 2019 and 2020,
subject to final Council approval in its sole and absolute discretion.
Monitoring. The City expects to enter into suitable agreements with the Borrower, the
purchaser of the bonds and/or others respecting the monitoring or implementation by participants
to ensure that the Project will be consistent with this housing Program and its objectives, which
for this purpose means providing affordable rental housing.
Meeting Needs; Methods. The Program will meet the need for rental housing for persons
and families of low and moderate incomes by providing units at an affordable rent. The City
believes that this Program will help meet the identified needs under this Program. The specific
methods anticipated to be used include the issuance of revenue bonds under the Act to provide
feasible financing for various aspects of the Program so undertaken.
Authorization. The Program is undertaken pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section
462C.05, Subdivision 2, for units affordable to persons and families of low and moderate
income.
Limits on Gross Income. In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the Borrower
will be required to agree to limit the gross income of occupants of the Project in accordance with
the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, and with the requirements relating to tax-
exempt bonds for qualified residential rental projects.
Adopted and approved on November 13, 2019, by the City Council of the City of Falcon
