Impacts
•Overall, rates are expected to increase approximately 25% over the duration of the project
•Costs remain less than a penny per gallon of water
•Rates remain below average nationally when compared to similarly sized drinking water providers
•Proactive approach and interest rates help ensure that customers are getting good value for their money.
Average SPRWS Customer (4,200 gal./month)
Year Avg. Monthly Bill
2021 $26.09
2022 $28.43
2023 $30.99
2024 $32.70
Note: These values are projections. Actual rate increases will depend on water
consumption patterns. Also, these projections are conservative as they assume
that fees will increase at the same rate as per unit charges.

G: POLICY ITEMS:
1. Amber Union Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Request – Calling for Public Hearing
Administrator Thongvanh
A resolution is included in your packet for a public hearing on the TIF request by Amber Union.
The project received funding from the Met Council for about 1 million, state bonding for more
than 23 million, and for DEED for 150k.
The next step will require a public hearing on the proposed adoption of a modification to the
development program for District No. 1, the proposed establishment of TIF District No. 1-4. The
public hearing will be via Zoom.
Council Member Leehy
I am wondering if we can have the schedule of the events on our City Calendar.
Administrator Thongvanh
I am working with our Community Development Coordinator, Paul Moretto, on a landing page
for this project that people can use to find information on our website.
Peter Deanovic, Buhl Investors
We are grateful to have received funding. We will continue to press towards bringing this asset
back to being a viable part of the community.
Council Member Andrews
Would it be possible to include some of the meetings as part of our regular Council meetings?
Peter Deanovic, Buhl Investors
From my experience, the meetings are best done during the day when we have a contractor on
site.
Administrator Thongvanh
The purchase was previously owned by TIES and it was a non-taxable jurisdiction. Once Buhl
Investors purchased the property, it is taxable. In 2021, the City will be receiving 16,000 in taxes
which is 16K more than we have received. Under a TIF agreement, Buhl investors will still pay
the base amount but any increment over that will be reimbursed for the duration of the term we
agree to. There are specific uses that the money reimbursed can be used for.
Todd Hagen, Ehlers, Inc.
There will be a development agreement that is drafted. In the statutory process, you’ll see the
tax increment for 26 years. When you see the tax increment plan, you’ll see a pretty large
budget and some pretty large tax increment numbers but these will be scaled back when we get
to the development agreement. I suspect that in the agreement we’ll be looking at 12-13 years.
Council Member Wehyee
After the 12-year term, what happens to the rent? Does it go up?
Peter Deanovic
10 of 91
3 | Page
It will remain affordable housing after that 12-year period of time. After the 12-13 years, the
City will receive the full amount of the taxes. One of the purposeful part of this plan is to make
sure it doesn’t encumber anything around it. For example, the parking lot next to the building
will continue to pay its taxes, it will not be tied into the TIF.
Motion by Council Member Andrews to approve Resolution 21-05, seconded by Council
Member Leehy;
Approved, 5-0.
2. McDonald Hopkins Engagement Letter
Administrator Thongvanh
There were about 20 employees that were affected by a data breach in November 2020. The City
contacted a League and filed a case to ensure that we would be prepared for any damages that
were incurred by the breach. Six of the IP addresses that accessed the document were non-
employees. McDonald Hopkins is a firm that the League works with. The City will be providing
1 year of free credit monitoring for employees that were affected by the breach.
Council Member Miazga
Did the two employees from McDonald Hopkins provide an estimate for the time they would
spend on this? I saw their hourly rates.
Administrator Thongvanh
No. If the cost exceeds my allowed 5,000 in spending, I would obtain additional information
and bring it to Council for approval. Our deductible with the League is $5,000, so either way it
shouldn’t exceed that.
Motion to approve engagement letter and to authorize City Administrator to execute necessary
documents by Mayor Gustafson;
Approved, 5-0.
H. INFORMATION/ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Council Member Leehy
I attended the Planning Commission last night as the Council Liaison. We discussed policies
regarding vacant properties as well as landlord responsibilities. The other item that I will share
is some information about email notifications, which residents can sign up for on our website.

• Community Engagement Commission met on Monday and elected a chair and vice
chair. They will be brainstorming ideas for events post-COVID, and will be discussing
City communications, since that is part of their responsibility under City ordinance.
Council Member Leehy
I appreciate Council Members Wehyee and Miazga for their efforts to host a town hall meeting.
I would like to host a town hall meeting as a full council, which we intended to do last year but
it was cancelled due to COVID.
Administrator Thongvanh
• We can discuss planning a town hall as a full council at the workshop.
• There was a water main break at the Community Park building.
• We have a conduit bonding request from a senior care facility, and I will talk more about
this at the workshop.

TO: Sack Thongvanh, City of Falcon Heights
FROM: David Triplett, Ramsey County Elections Manager
SUBJECT: Contract for Election Services
DATE: September 29, 2020
The current contract and all renewals for election services between the City of Falcon Heights and the Ramsey
County Elections office expire on December 31, 2020. As a result, if you wish to continue this service, the City of
Falcon Heights and Ramsey County will need to execute a new contract. The new contract is attached. It will
begin on January 1, 2021 and end on December 31, 2026. There are a few items we want you to be aware of:
The increase in the cost schedule accounts for:
• An increased hourly wage for election judges to bring the pay scale in alignment with other jurisdictions
in the Twin Cities Metro Area, as well as the wage paid to Census workers and local businesses in
Ramsey County. Election Judges have not received a raise in the hourly rate since 2016. Currently,
precinct judges make $10 an hour. The increase will increase precinct judge wages to $15 an hour and
will increase all other positions by $5 an hour.
• Accommodate the increased volume of vote by mail and in-person early voting. This is primarily a
statutory duty that applies to all municipalities. As you are aware, the increase in this activity has been
prodigious this cycle – that aside, there has been a steady increase every year since 2012 and we project
this to be increasingly popular beyond this cycle. We have provided this option for voters while
maintaining Election Day voting access and resources.
• Account for duties that are statutorily related to cities that were not identified as in the previous
contract.
Additionally:
• All jurisdictions will share the same contract terms - terms and conditions of the contract are non-
negotiable by individual municipality.
• Contracts for precincts located outside of Ramsey County will no longer be offered. These precincts will
need to be managed under a mutually agreeable method (such as a Joint Powers Agreement) between
the corresponding county, municipality and Ramsey County.
31 of 91
The cost for your municipality to contract for election services with Ramsey County for the first term of 2021-
2022 will be $43,601.60, invoiced in quarterly payments. Ramsey County will provide an initial cost estimate for
the 2023-2024 calendar years to you no later than April 1, 2022, and an initial cost estimate for the 2025-2026
calendar years by April 1, 2024.
Please contact me directly by no later than Friday, October 9 if your municipality wishes to contract with Ramsey
County for Election Services. Otherwise do not hesitate to contact me for further questions. We very much
appreciate your business and hope to continue serving you and your residents in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
David Triplett

There will be three other communities acting as a conduit for bonding. They
include the City of Landfall Village ($10 million), City of Hampton ($10
million), and the City of Little Canada ($6.75 million).
The Bonds will not constitute a charge, lien, or encumbrance, legal or
equitable, upon any property of the Issuers, except the interests of the Issuers
in payments to be made by the Borrower under the Loan Agreements. The
Bonds are not moral obligations on the part of the State or its political
subdivisions, including the Issuers, and the Bonds will not constitute a debt of
the Issuers within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation.
Budget Impact The City will receive an estimated $18,750 for the issues of the bond which is ¼
of 1%.

Sack Thongvanh City of Falcon Heights 2077 Larpenteur Ave W Falcon Heights, MN 55113-5551
Re: Issuance of Conduit Revenue Notes by the City of Falcon Heights for New
Harmony Care Center
Dear Mr. Thongvanh:
This letter is in follow-up to correspondence that I have had with you related to a request that the City of Falcon Heights has received from New Harmony Care Center, Inc., a Minnesota
nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3) organization (the “Borrower”), the sole member of which is
Elim Care, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3) organization, the sole member of which is Cassia, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3) organization, regarding consideration by the City to act as an issuer of 501(c)(3) revenue obligations (the “Notes”) in an amount of approximately $7,500,000. The proceeds of the Notes would be loaned to the
Borrower to be used to finance, in part, the acquisition, construction, and equipping of a new
senior healthcare and housing facility, including approximately 48 skilled nursing beds, 16 transitional skilled nursing beds, 35 independent apartment units, 36 assisted living apartment units, 14 memory care apartment units, and 12 care suite apartment units, to be located at 1534 County Road C East in the City of Maplewood (the "Project"). The City of Landfall Village
($10,000,000), the City of Hampton ($10,000,000), and the City of Little Canada (approx.
$6,750,000) will act as the other issuers of the remaining amount needed to finance the Project in full. Hampton, Landfall Village, Falcon Heights, and Little Canada are referred to collectively in this letter as the “Issuers.” Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, formerly known as Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, will act as bond counsel on the issuance of such Notes. The
Notes are expected to be purchased directly by Bremer Bank, National Association (the
“Lender”). The City of Little Canada’s obligations will be in the form of subordinate bonds, which will be underwritten by Northland Securities. State and federal laws allow local government units to enter into arrangements to issue
tax-exempt obligations and loan the proceeds to nonprofit corporations to finance capital
expenditures. This assistance reduces borrowing costs for nonprofit corporations and enables
50 of 91
13097468v1
Sack Thongvanh January 27, 2021 Page 2
them to provide their services more cost effectively. It is a fairly common means of obtaining
necessary financing for all nonprofit entities, including senior housing and health care providers
like the Borrower.
To accomplish this purpose, the Issuers will enter into Loan Agreements with the Borrower under which the Borrower will agree to pay all principal and interest on the Notes (or bonds). The Issuers will assign all of their rights to payments under the Loan Agreements the
Lender, who will purchase the Notes and loan the purchase price of the Notes directly to the
Borrower. (In the case of Little Canada’s bonds, the rights will be assigned to U.S. Bank, as the trustee.) The Issuers are merely a conduit and the money and obligations flow only between the Lender and the Borrower.
The Notes and the resolutions adopted by the Issuers will recite that the Notes, if and
when issued, will not to be payable from or charged upon any of the Issuers’ funds, other than
the revenues received under the Loan Agreements and pledged to the payment of the Notes, and the Issuers are not subject to any liability on the Notes. No holder of the Notes will ever have the right to compel any exercise by the Issuers of their taxing powers to pay any of the principal of the Notes or the interest or premium thereon, or to enforce payment of the Notes against any
property of the Issuers except the interests of the Issuers in payments to be made by the
Borrower under the Loan Agreements. The Notes will not constitute a charge, lien, or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the Issuers, except the interests of the Issuers in payments to be made by the Borrower under the Loan Agreements. The Notes are not moral obligations on the part of the State or its political subdivisions, including the Issuers, and
the Notes will not constitute a debt of the Issuers within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory limitation.
The issuance of the Notes will not affect the Issuers’ credit rating on bonds they issue for municipal purposes.
Each city may issue up to $10,000,000 of its own and 501(c)(3) bonds each calendar year
as “bank-qualified” bonds, which is the type of obligation that the Lender wishes to acquire.
Because the total cost of the financing is approximately $36,000,000 and Maplewood has its own bond issuance planned for 2021, Maplewood cannot issue bank-qualified debt for the benefit of the Borrower. Therefore, other cities are being sought to act as the issuers for the Notes and other obligations. Under the federal tax law, alternative issuers are permitted, but a “nexus”
between the jurisdictional city and the issuer is preferred. In this case, Falcon Heights has
geographical proximity to Maplewood and is within the market area for the Project. Falcon Heights’s residents could be potential beneficiaries of the Project, either as employees or future residents of the Project.
The Notes will affect the bank-qualified status of any of the City's tax-exempt obligations
issued for its own governmental purposes in 2021. It is our understanding that Falcon Heights
51 of 91
13097468v1
Sack Thongvanh January 27, 2021 Page 3
will be issuing bonds on its own behalf of approximately $2,000,000, leaving $8,000,000 of
bank-qualification available for this purpose. It is currently estimated that the Note issued by
Falcon Heights will be in an amount of approximately $7,500,000.The Notes will not affect the bank-qualified status of tax-exempt obligations in future years. It is also important to note that the bonds that will be issued for the benefit of the Amber Union project do not count toward the $10,000,000 bank-qualification limit. The bonds for the Amber Union project can be issued over
and above the $10,000,000 limit, as they are issued under a different section of the federal tax
code.
The Notes will be issued in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C. A city may not issue bonds for a project located outside of its jurisdiction, as is requested in this case. However, the city in which a project is located may give permission for the issuance of bonds by
another city. This is commonly referred to as “host approval.” Under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 471.656, subdivision 2(2), host approval may be given for a project located in the host city, by resolution of the host city. Maplewood, as the host city, will give permission to Falcon Heights (and the other Issuers) to issue its Notes. In addition, the Issuers and Maplewood will enter into a joint powers agreement for the purpose of issuing the Notes.
Similarly, under the federal tax code, before a city can issue bonds for a project located
outside of its jurisdiction, the host city must give its approval. Such approval can only be given following the holding of a public hearing.
As noted above, under federal and State law, in order for the Notes to be a tax exempt obligation, they must be issued by a political subdivision. This requires that the City hold a
public hearing and approve issuance of the Notes and approve the execution of related
documents. If the City is willing to act as a conduit issuer for the Borrower, we propose that the City adopt a resolution at its February 10th meeting that calls for that public hearing. The resolution authorizes the City Administrator to set the actual date of the public hearing, but we are currently expecting that it would occur at the City Council’s March 10th meeting. We will
also prepare and take care of submitting the public hearing notice to the City’s official
newspaper.
Following the public hearing, the City Council would then consider for adoption a resolution approving the issuance of the Notes.
It is expected that the City will receive an administrative fee of ¼ of 1%, paid by the
Borrower. In addition, you should be aware that the Borrower is responsible for paying all costs
of the transaction. There will be no costs paid by the City.
Assuming the Council is willing for the City to act as an issuer for the Borrower, I ask that the Council adopt the resolution that we will provide separately that calls for the public hearing so that we can get the process started.

This project is proposed to be completed by August 20, 2021 before the State
Fair begins. Final assessment amounts would be determined following an
assessment hearing in the Fall of 2021 and a review of the project costs and
proposed assessments by the City Council. The property owners can either
pay the assessments in part or in full in October 2021 or have them added to
their property taxes with an interest rate to be set by the City Council. The first
installment of the assessment would be due in Spring 2022.

CRITERIA
74 of 91
The city of Falcon Heights is granted the power to issue tax increment financing
assistance under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 273. The Falcon Heights city council,
being aware that such financing may prevent the emergence of blighted land, excessive unemployment and the need for redevelopment financing from the state and federal governments, has expressed its support for the use of such financing but has reserved the right to approve or reject projects on a case by case basis. The following criteria have,
therefore, been developed as a guide for review of applications:
1. The project is to be compatible with the overall development plans and objectives of the city and of the neighborhood in which the project is located.
2. New businesses locating in Falcon Heights must show relatively substantial
new employment and tax base being generated by the project.\ 3. Businesses should locate in areas of the city that the city wishes to develop, redevelop, or which in any way complements any development plans or policy of the
city, will constitute a prime purpose under these guidelines. It is also the city’s intent to
assist in business expansions or relocations within the city where it can be shown that such would have a substantial favorable impact on employment and/or tax base, or would help retain existing business in the city.
4. It is the city’s intent to assist new or existing businesses in the acquisition of
existing facilities, where such acquisition will maintain the stability of the tax base, or of employment, or both, and provided that not less than 15% of the project cost is to be used for rehabilitation of the existing facilility.
5. The project must not put a burden on existing city services or utilities beyond
that which can be reasonably and economically accommodated. 6. The applicant must enter into a Development Agreement, prior to the issuance of tax increment financing.
7. The applicant must enter into an Assessment Agreement setting forth a minimum market value for the project after its completion. 8. Demonstration of Need – A request for tax increment financing shall
demonstrate that alternative financing is not available and that the project could not be
constructed as proposed without the assistance requested. 9. The city reserves the right to determine the duration of any bond issue and the project costs for which it will allow tax increment financing to be used. It is the city’s
intent to minimize the length of any tax increment bond issue and the use of tax
increments to pay eligible project costs.
75 of 91
PROCEDURES
1. The applicant shall make an application for financing on the attached an application form provided by the city. The completed application is to be returned to the City Administrator, together with an application fee found on the city’s fee schedule.of $3,000, which is non-refundable and an additional $7,000 is to be used to offset city

Item Amending the 2021 City Fee Schedule to add a Tax Increment Finance Application
Fee.
Description
Each year the City Council is required to approve a fee schedule that identifies the
various fees charged by the City. Staff reviews these fees each year to ensure that
the costs charged cover the City’s expenses and so they are competitive with other
cities of comparable size.

Resolution Adopting the 2021 Fee Schedule.

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. The City of Falcon Heights does not
currently have a fee for the application of a TIF district.
The proposed resolution amends the City of Falcon Heights’ fee schedule to include
a fee for this application. The proposed fee of $5,000 and an escrow of $10,000 is
similar to other cities, such as Shakopee and Burnsville, in the metro-area and will
cover the costs to the City which are related to processing, administration, legal,
financial analysis, consultants, and an all other costs. The $5,000 fee is non-
refundable.
• Tax Increment Finance Application Fee – $5,000.00
• Tax Increment Finance Application Escrow - $10,000
Budget Impact This fee will be incorporated in the 2021 budget.
