(B) The owner of any housing unit against which the Housing Improvement Fee is imposed may, within 30 days after the effective date of this Resolution, pay all or a portion of the total Housing Improvement Fee imposed against such housing unit as specified in Exhibit A hereto to the City Treasurer, without interest thereon; provided that if only a portion is prepaid, the prepayment amount must be at least 25% of the total fee for that unit. Any Housing Improvement Fee (or a portion thereof) not prepaid in accordance with this section shall be payable solely in accordance with section 2(C) hereof. (C) If not prepaid in accordance with section 2(B) hereof, the Housing Improvement Fee (or unpaid portion thereof) shall be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period of 15 years, the first of the installments to be payable in calendar year 2009, which annual payment shall be deemed to include interest on unpaid Housing Improvement Fee from the date of this Resolution as an annual interest rate that will produce total fee revenue collected from all units in Housing Improvement Area No. 1 in an amount that equals 105 percent of the debt service payable each year on bonds to be issued by the City to finance the Housing Improvements ("Bonds") in accordance with the Enabling Ordinance and Minn. Stat. § 428A.16. Upon issuance of the Bonds, the City Clerk shall cause to be prepared a schedule indicating the annual payment for each housing unit for which the Housing Improvement Fee has not been prepaid, which schedule shall be attached as Exhibit B to this Resolution in the City's official records. (D) The Housing Improvement Fee, unless prepaid in accordance with section 2(B), shall be payable at the same time and in the same manner as provided for payment and collection of ad valorem taxes, in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 428A.05. As provided by that statute, the Housing Improvement Fee is not included in the calculation of levies or limits on levies imposed under any law. (E) The Housing Improvement Fee imposed against each housing unit shall not exceed the amount specified in Exhibit A hereto; provided, however, that the Housing Improvement Fee may be reduced at any time before issuance of the Bonds, which reduction shall be applied pro rata to each housing unit's Housing Improvement Fee on the basis described in section 2(A), and further provided that if any housing unit owners have prepaid the Housing Improvement Fee prior to any reduction in that fee, the City shall promptly reimburse such housing unit owner in the amount of the pro rata share of any reduction in the fee amount. Upon any reduction in the Housing Improvement Fee, the City Clerk shall cause to be prepared a revised copy of Exhibit A hereto, which shall be attached to this Resolution in the City's official records and shall be promptly mailed to all housing unit owners within Housing Improvement Area No. 1. (F) Within 30 days after issuance of the Bonds the City Clerk shall mail to each housing unit owner a copy of Exhibit B to this Resolution showing the final annual fee imposed against each housing unit for which the Housing Improvement Fee has not been prepaid. 3.
