MEMBERS
ABSENT: None
OTHERS
PRESENT: B. Wessel, R. Batty, M. Divine
CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES
EDA Member Neal moved to approve the minutes of October 13, 1997. EDA Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Only two current members of the EDA were present at
that meeting. Motion passed with Lyden, Dahl and Sullivan abstaining.
CONSIDERATION OF ANNUAL APPOINTMENTS
Mr. Wessel explained to the board that the EDA by-laws require the EDA elect a
president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and assistant treasurer. The EDA should also
appoint a new executive director to replace Randy Schumacher. EDA Member Sullivan
asked if the city administrator position could be appointed to executive director, without
specifically appointing Dave Pecchia, interim city administrator. Mr. Batty said yes, the
position could be named so that the new city administrator would automatically assume
the position.
EDA Member Neal moved to appoint EDA Member Sullivan as president, EDA Member
Dahl as vice-president, EDA Member Neal as Treasurer, Ms. Divine as secretary, Marilyn
Anderson as assistant treasurer, and the position of city administrator as executive
director. EDA Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF EDA OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER
Mr. Wessel explained the EDA is required to publish public notices and needs to designate
an official newspaper. EDA Member Bergeson moved to approve the Quad Community
Press as the official newspaper. EDA member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion passed
unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF OFFICIAL DEPOSITORIES
Mr. Wessel explained that on occasion the EDA and the city have financial transactions
and the EDA will need official depositories. EDA Member Lyden moved to approve
Norwest Bank, First Bank NA, Firstar Bank, Merrill Lynch, Dain Bosworth, Juran and
Moody, and Prudential Bache. EDA Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion passed
unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN
LINO LAKES EDA AND NOL-TEC, INC.
Mr. Wessel explained that in 1996 the EDA approved a development agreement with Nol-
Tec to build a 16,000 square foot facility in the Apollo Business Park. In the agreement,
TIF was used to pay for 1.6 acres and all the assessments. Nol-Tec paid for the remaining
1.4 acres of the 3-acre parcel. The agreement the city made with Nol-Tec was that TIF
would be used to subsidize the remaining 1.4 acres if the company expanded.
The company is now planning to double the size of its Lino Lakes facility. This decision is
based, in part, on the commitment of $54,000 in additional pay-as-you-go TIF to pay for
the remaining 1.4 acres. This expansion will increase the industrial tax base and provide
the capacity for 25 additional high -quality jobs.
This development contract between the EDA and Nol-Tec outlines the conditions for
public assistance for the additional TIF. In this agreement, the city will continue to be
reimbursed for assessments first from available tax increment, and Nol-Tec will be
reimbursed the additional $54,000 from the remaining available tax increment. Payback on
the entire project will be complete in 2004.
EDA Member Bergeson asked when the original payback was to occur. Ms. Divine said it
was scheduled to go on the tax rolls in 2004, the same as with the expansion. The
additional increment from the expansion would pay for the additional TIF.
EDA Member Bergeson moved to approve the development contract. EDA Member
Lyden seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT RELATING TO DEVELOPMENT
CONTRACT AND MORTGAGE FINANCING, F&G, INC.
Mr. Wessel explained that in 1997 the EDA entered into a development agreement for
financial assistance with F&G, Inc. regarding a project within TIF District 1-7, the Apollo
Business Park. The agreement called for the construction of two buildings in 1997, and a
third in 1998.
The first two buildings have been completed and the developer has arranged for a
permanent mortgage on the project. The development agreement contains a provision
which prohibits any liens (including a mortgage) against the property without the EDA's
permission, if the project is not complete. Because the development agreement also calls
for construction of a third building, which has not yet occurred, the EDA's permission for
financing is necessary.
This agreement focuses on two matters. It partially subordinates the EDA's development
agreement with F&G, Inc. to the new financing. This means that the new mortgage will be
treated as if it had been recorded prior to the development agreement. The EDA's position
with the developer will remain unchanged, and none of the EDA's significant protections
will be weakened by this action.
The second matter in the agreement concerns various representations about what has or
has not happened with regard to the project. The lender is asking the city for assurance
that there have been no violations of the development agreement. Staff and legal counsel
have reviewed the representations. The project has gone very well, the buildings are 100%
occupied with excellent tenants, and, to staffs knowledge, there are no defaults or
violations. According to legal counsel the agreement is reasonable and represents standard
procedure for refinancing.
EDA member Bergeson moved to authorize the president and executive director to
execute the agreement. EDA Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion passed
unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT
EDA Member Neal moved to adjourn. EDA Member Dahl seconded the motion. Meeting
adjourned at 6:20 p.m.

(CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
LEASE OBLIGATION)
BE IT RESOLVED By the Board of Commissioners of the Lino Lakes Economic
Development Authority, Anoka County, Minnesota (the "Authority") as follows:
1. It has been proposed to the Authority that the Authority assist in the financing of the
acquisition and construction of a site and facilities to be used by the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota

Agreement (the "Ground Lease"), whereby the City will lease to the Authority certain land in the
City (the "Site"). The Authority will lease to the City the Site and the facilities to be constructed
thereon by the City (the "Facilities"), pursuant to a Lease -Purchase Agreement (the "Lease").
Pursuant to a Trust Indenture (the "Indenture") between the Authority and a corporate trustee (the

Authority's expenses). The Bonds will be payable solely from Lease Payments received from the
City under the Lease and moneys realized by the Trustee from re -leasing the Site and the Facilities
following default or termination of the Lease, and the Authority shall have no liability with respect
to the Bonds.
2. To provide financing for the acquisition and construction of the Site and the

RECOMMENDATIONS
Re: Recommendations for the Issuance of $5,350,000 Lease Revenue Bonds, Series 1998A
(the "Bonds")
We respectfully request your consideration of the above -named issue. Proceeds of this issue
will be used to finance a portion of the costs for constructing a new Civic Complex to be leased
to the City of Lino Lakes (the "City").
We recommend the following for the bonds:
1. Action Requested
2. Sale Date and Time
To establish the date and time of receiving
bids and establish the terms and conditions
of the offering.
Monday, June 22, 1998 at 11:30 A.M. with
award by the Board of Commissioners of the
Economic Development Authority at
6:00 P.M. that same day.
3. Authority and Purpose for the Bond Issue The Bonds are being issued pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090 to
469.1081 and Chapter 475 to finance a
portion of the costs of constructing a civic
complex to be leased by the City.
4. Principal Amount of Offering $5,350,000
5. Repayment Term
Source of Debt Service Revenues
7 Prepayment Provisions
8. Credit Rating Comments
The Bonds will mature annually each
February 1, 2001 through 2019. Interest on
the Bonds is payable semiannually each
February 1 and August 1, commencing
August 1, 1999.
Debt service will be payable solely from the
revenues derived from the lease of the
financed project to the City.
Bonds maturing on or after Februay 1, 2007
will be callable February 1, 2006 and any
day thereafter at a price of par plus accrued
interest.
We recommend the EDA apply for a rating
on this issue from Moody's Investors
Service. The Bonds are payable from an
annual appropriation by the City and are not
a general obligation of the EDA; therefore,
the rating will be based on the City's credit
rating. The City's rating is currently "Baal."
Typically, lease obligations are rated one or
two "notches" lower than the general
obligation bond rating of the entity. It is

Tax -Exempt Obligations
(a) Bank Qualification
(b) Rebate Requirements
anticipated that the Bonds will receive a
"BAA2" or "BAA3" rating by Moody's. A
"BAA2" or "BAA3" rating is still regarded as
investment grade and may result in more
bidders.
Under Federal Tax Law, financial institutions
cannot deduct from income for federal
income tax purposes, income expense that
is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-
exempt bonds. There is an exemption to
this for "bank qualified" bonds, which can be
so designated if the issuer does not issue
more than $10 million of tax exempt bonds
in a calendar year. Issues that are bank
qualified receive slightly lower interest rates
than issues that are not bank qualified. This
issue is not designated as bank qualified.
All tax-exempt issues are subject to the
federal arbitrage and rebate requirements,
which require all excess earnings created by
the financing to be rebated to the U.S.
Treasury. The requirements generally cover
two categories: bond proceeds and debt
service funds. There are exemptions from
rebate in both of these categories:
Bond proceeds, defined generally as both
the original principal of the issue and the
investment earnings on the principal, have
6, 18 and 24 month spend down exemption
periods. If all of the proceeds are expended
during one of those exemption periods, the
bond proceeds are exempt from rebate and
may retain the excess earnings. If the EDA
does not anticipate being able to meet those
requirements, the reinvestment of bond
proceeds must be monitored and the EDA
must rebate any amount earned in excess of
the rate on the bonds. It is our
understanding the EDA expects to spend all
of the proceeds within 24 months.
Springsted currently provides rebate
calculation services to the City of Lino
Lakes. An amendment for this issue has
been provided to EDA staff.
The EDA can elect, at the time of issuance,
to pay a penalty in lieu of rebate. The
penalty is 1.5% of the amount not meeting
the expenditure tests, calculated every six

months until all proceeds are spent. We
recommend the EDA select the penalty
option as it will be more cost effective than
rebate if the money is not spent as rapidly
as expected.
The average life of the Bonds cannot
exceed 120% of the economic life of the
projects to be financed. The economic life
of the facility exceeds 20 years. This issue
is within the economic life requirements.
Federal reimbursement regulations require
the EDA to make a declaration, within 60
days of the actual payment, of its intent to
reimburse itself from expenses paid prior to
the receipt of bond proceeds. It is our
understanding the EDA has taken whatever
actions are necessary to comply with the
federal reimbursement regulations in
regards to the Series 1998A Bonds.
The new SEC rules require the City, as the
obligated party, to undertake an annual
update of its Official Statement information
and report any material events to the
national repositories. Springsted currently
provides continuing disclosure services to
the City of Lino Lakes. An amendment for
this issue has been provided to EDA staff.

• Debt Service Schedule
• Terms of Proposal
DISCUSSION
Proceeds of this issue and other funds on hand will finance the construction cost of the
proposed Civic Complex. The EDA will enter into a lease agreement with the City whereby the
City will commit to lease the facility at rental rates equal to the debt service on the Bonds.
Since this will be an annual appropriations lease, the City Council must appropriate fundseach
year in its budgetory process. Failure to appropriate such funds would constitute an evidence
of default which would have a serious negative impact on the City's credit rating and its ability to
access the capital markets in the future.
Pursuant to legislation enacted in 1996, since these obligations are secured by a promise to
pay by the City, the obligations will be included in the net debt calculation of the City. The net
debt limit is equal to 2% of the City's current market value of $625,403,650 providing a net debt
capacity of $12,508,073. The City will have a remaining debt capacity of $7,158,073 after these
bonds are issued. The City currently has no other debt subject to the debt limit.
Page 3
Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority
May 20, 1998
The City has entered into a lease agreement with the Centennial School District whereby the
District will lease the Early Childhood portion of the facility. Pursuant to the terms of that lease,
the District has agreed to pay not more than $1.2 million for the next 10 years. Receipt of those
lease payments will commence in 1999 and are currently scheduled at $120,000 per year. This
payment does not cover all of the financing costs over the term of the lease.
Page 6 shows the structure of this issue taking into consideration not only the expected lease
payments from the District but also the City's current lease obligations for the fire station. The
1998 levy by the City covers the period of time from the date of the bonds through February 1,
2000. The total levy of $407,339 shown for 1998 is net of the school district contribution and
includes the levy for the fire station. The levy increase due to this issue for 1998 is estimated to
be $290,751 which is consistent with our earlier projections.
In order to reduce the initial total levy to a level around $400,000, we have delayed the
repayment of principal of this issue until February 1, 2001. Thereafter, we have maintained an
average debt requirement of approximately $455,000 for the City's lease revenue obligations.
We note that since the levies are for the payments of debt obligation of another jurisdiction (the
EDA) such levies are outside the current provisions of the levy limitations.

Proposals for the Bonds may contain a maturity schedule providing for a combination of serial
bonds and term bonds, provided that no serial bond may mature on or after the first mandatory
sinking fund redemption date of any term bond. All term bonds shall be subject to mandatory
sinking fund redemption and must conform to the maturity schedule set forth above at a price of
par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. In order to designate term bonds, the
proposal must specify "Last Year of Serial Maturities" and "Years of Term Maturities" in the
spaces provided on the Proposal Form.

BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM
The Bonds will be issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of
Bonds made to the public. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and one Bond,
representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be
registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"),
New York, New York, which will act as securities depository of the Bonds. Individual purchases
of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof of a single
maturity through book entries made on the books and records of DTC and its participants.
Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of
the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of DTC will be the
responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial owners by
participants will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial
owners. The purchaser, as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the
Bonds with DTC.
REGISTRAR
The Authority will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The
Authority will pay for the services of the registrar.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The Authority may elect on February 1, 2006, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due
on or after February 1, 2007. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option
of the Authority and in such manner as the Authority shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a
maturity are called for redemption, the Authority will notify DTC of the particular amount of such
maturity to be prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in
such maturity to be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial
ownership interests in such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par
plus accrued interest.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be special obligations of the Authority payable solely from lease payments to be
received from the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota pursuant to a lease agreement and shall not
constitute a debt for which the faith and credit or taxing powers of the Authority will be pledged.
The proceeds will be used to finance the construction of a municipal complex to house City
Hall, police facilities and an early childhood center.
TYPE OF PROPOSALS
Proposals shall be for not less than $5,269,750 and accrued interest on the total principal
amount of the Bonds. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith Deposit ("Deposit") in
the form of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $53,500,
payable to the order of the Authority. If a check is used, it must accompany each proposal. If a
Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a
bond in the State of Minnesota, and preapproved by the Authority. Such bond must be
submitted to Springsted Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial
Surety Bond must identify each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial
Surety Bond. If the Bonds are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then
that purchaser is required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a
certified or cashier's check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later
than 3:30 P.M., Central Time, on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is
not received by that time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the Authority to satisfy
the Deposit requirement. The Authority will deposit the check of the purchaser, the amount of
Page 8
which will be deducted at settlement and no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event
the purchaser fails to comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the
Authority. No proposal can be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals
unless the meeting of the Authority scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or
continued to another date without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in
integral multiples of 5/100 or 1 /8 of 1 %. Rates must be in ascending order. Bonds of the same
maturity shall bear a single rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No
conditional proposals will be accepted.
AWARD
The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true
interest cost (TIC) basis. The Authority's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in
accordance with customary practice, will be controlling.
The Authority will reserve the right to: (i) waive non -substantive informalities of any proposal or
of matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals
without cause, and, (iii) reject any proposal which the Authority determines to have failed to
comply with the terms herein.
BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION
If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment
therefor at the option of the underwriter, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the
issuance of any such commitment shall be at the sole option and expense of the purchaser of
the Bonds. Any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting from such purchase of
insurance shall be paid by the purchaser, except that, if the Authority has requested and
received a rating on the Bonds from a rating agency, the Authority will pay that rating fee. Any
other rating agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after Bonds have been awarded to the
purchaser shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery on
the Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the
purchaser at a place mutually satisfactory to the Authority and the purchaser. Delivery will be
subject to receipt by the purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven,
Chartered of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of customary closing papers, including a no -litigation
certificate. On the date of settlement payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal, or
equivalent, funds which shall be received at the offices of the Authority or its designee not later
than 12:00 Noon, Central Time. Except as compliance with the terms of payment for the Bonds
shall have been made impossible by action of the Authority, or its agents, the purchaser shall
be liable to the Authority for any Toss suffered by the Authority by reason of the purchaser's
non-compliance with said terms for payment.

CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(5), the City of Lino Lakes will undertake, pursuant to a
Continuing Disclosure Certificate, to provide annual reports and notices of certain events. A
description of this undertaking is set forth in the Official Statement. The purchaser's obligation
to purchase the Bonds will be conditioned upon its receiving the Continuing Disclosure
Certificate at or prior to delivery of the Bonds.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The Authority has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent
information relative to the Bonds, and said Official Statement will serve as a nearly -final Official
Statement within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For copies of the Official Statement or for any additional information prior to sale, any
prospective purchaser is referred to the Financial Advisor to the Authority, Springsted
Incorporated, 85 East Seventh Place, Suite 100, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101, telephone
(612) 223-3000.
The Official Statement, when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the
maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Bonds, together with any other
information required by law, shall constitute a "Final Official Statement" of the Authority with
respect to the Bonds, as that term is defined in Rule 15c2-12. By awarding the Bonds to any
underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a proposal therefor, the Authority agrees that,
no more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide without cost to
the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded 140 copies
of the Official Statement and the addendum or addenda described above. The Authority
designates the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded
as its agent for purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official Statement to each
Participating Underwriter. Any underwriter delivering a proposal with respect to the Bonds
agrees thereby that if its proposal is accepted by the Authority (i) it shall accept such
designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all Participating
Underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt by each such Participating
Underwriter of the Final Official Statement.

AGENDA ITEM 4
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Brian Wessel
DATE: 5/26/98
TOPIC: Consideration of Subordination Agreement to the
Contract for Private Development between Lino
Lakes EDA and Nol-Tec LLC
BACKGROUND:
The EDA entered into a development agreement with NoI-Tec in 1995 regarding
construction of their original building. We recently entered into a second
agreement with regard to expansion. The owner is refinancing the development
and the bank has asked the EDA to subordinate certain of its rights to the bank's
mortgage. This is a typical request and one the EDA is generally willing to
accommodate to at least a limited degree.
We will not subordinate the assessment agreement to the new mortgage. The
assessment agreement should remain in place even if the bank acquires the
property. In this instance, the owner also agreed to allow the city to relevy
unpaid special assessments in the case of a default. We should not give up this
right. With these exceptions, it is reasonable to subordinate the remainder of the
development agreement to the new financing.
OPTIONS:
1. Authorize the president and executive director of the EDA to sign the
subordination agreement that retains the assessment agreement and the right to
relevy unpaid special assessments in the event of a default.
2. Return to staff for further consideration

RE: Nlol-Tec/Lino Lakes EDA Agreement
Dear Vicky:
I have reviewed the subordination agreement and estoppel certificate regarding the contract for
private redevelopment between the captioned parties. I have the following comments with regard
to the document:
1. Paragraph 6. There remains a reference to the assessment agreement in line 7. I believe
this should be deleted for the sake of clarity.
2. Paragraph R. The major substantive issue I have is with regard to the extent to which the
EDA will subordinate its interest in development contract 1. As I indicated in my letter
of May 1. 1998. the city has the right to reimpose special assessments in the case of an
event of default. This would most likely occur through nonpayment of real estate taxes.
We will not subordinate our right to do so. i believe there should be recognition of this
in paragraphs 8 and 9.
3. As a matter of form, this document will be executed by the executive director and
president of the Lino Lakes EDA. It will not be executed by the mayor and president of
the city council.
I have asked the EDA to add this item to the agenda for the meeting of May 26. 1998. I assume
we will be able to resolve the above differences prior to that date. I have asked staff to go
