However, some issues are <br />partly financed by ad valorem levies. <br />Utility Revenue Bonds — the Bonds were issued to finance various improvements in the water fund and will be <br />repaid primarily from pledged revenues derived from the constructed assets. <br />Capital Note — the note was issued to fund the cost of the acquisition of capital equipment to be used by the North <br />Metro Telecommunications Commission in the operation of a cable communications system. The note was repaid <br />from franchise fee revenue. <br />Water Revenue Note — the note was issued to fund the construction of a water treatment plant and will be repaid <br />from pledged revenues derived from charges for services of the water fund. Note proceeds are received from the <br />Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (MPFA) on a reimbursement basis as the project progresses. The total amount <br />of note proceeds available to disburse to the City is $15,996,190. <br />The MPFA Bond Purchase and Project Loan Agreement defines Events of Default, including remedies if default <br />were to occur. Remedies may include the following: 1) an interest penalty, 2) withhold approval of any <br />disbursement request, 3) reject any pending application for financial assistance, 4) impose an immediate increase in <br />the interest rate on the loan by eliminating all interest rate discounts, and 5) demand immediate payment of all <br />outstanding principal and interest (to the extent permitted by law). <br />62 <br />
