The general nature of the proposal and an estimate of the principal amount of Bonds to be issued to finance the proposal are described in the attached form of Notice of Public Hearing. 3. A draft copy of the housing finance program with proposed forms of all attachments and exhibits shall be on file in the office of the City Administrator on the date the Notice of Public Hearing is published. 4. The City Administrator is hereby authorized and directed to cause notice of the hearing to be given one publication in the official newspaper of the City and a newspaper of general circulation available in the City, not less than 15 days nor more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the hearing, substantially in the form of the attached Notice of Public Hearing with such changes as required or approved by Bond Counsel. 5. The City hereby gives preliminary approval to the proposal of the Borrower that the Borrower undertake the Project, and the City undertake the program of financing therefor, pursuant to the Act, consisting of financing the acquisition and construction of the Project pursuant to the Borrower's specifications and to a loan agreement between the City and the Borrower on such terms and conditions with provisions for revision from time to time as necessary, so as to produce income and revenues sufficient to pay, when due, the principal and interest on the Bonds in a total principal amount not to exceed $13,000,000 to be issued pursuant to the Act to finance the Project; and said agreement may also provide for the entire interest of the Borrower therein to be mortgaged to the purchasers of the Bonds, or a trustee for the holder(s) of the Bonds; and the City, acting by and through the City, hereby undertakes preliminarily to issue its Bonds in accordance with such terms and conditions. 6. At the option of the City, the financing may be structured so as to take advantage of whatever means are available and are permitted by law to enhance the security for, or marketability of, the Bonds; provided that any such financing structure must be consented to by the Borrower. 7. On the basis of information available to the City it appears, and the City hereby finds, that the Project constitutes a multifamily housing development within the meaning of Section 462C.02, subdivision 5, of the Act; that the availability of the financing under the Housing Program 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 encourage the construction and maintenance of new and existing multifamily rental housing opportunities for residents of the community, and to promote more intensive development and use of land within the community. 8.
