<br />Re: Resolution providing preliminary approval for the issuance of the revenue obligation proposed to be
<br />issued by the City of Mounds View for the benefit of Catholic Eldercare
<br />
<br />Dear Mark,
<br />
<br />Catholic Eldercare, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, or any of its affiliates (the “Borrower”), has requested
<br />that the City of Mounds View (the “City”) issue its revenue obligation in the maximum principal amount of
<br />$4,000,000 (the “City Note”), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.152 through 469.1655, as
<br />amended, and Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended. In addition to requesting that the City issue
<br />the City Note, the Borrower has proposed that the City of Minneapolis (the “City of Minneapolis”) issue a
<br />revenue obligation in the maximum principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Minneapolis Note”) and that the
<br />City of Lauderdale, Minnesota (the “City of Lauderdale”) issue a revenue obligation in the maximum
<br />principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Lauderdale Note”). The City Council is being asked to adopt the
<br />attached resolution on Monday, August 11, 2014, which provides preliminary approval for the issuance of the
<br />City Note and calls for a public hearing to be conducted on Monday, September 8, 2014.
<br />
<br />If the City agrees to issue the City Note, the Borrower will use the proceeds of the City Note, along with the
<br />proceeds of the Minneapolis Note and the Lauderdale Note, to (i) finance the acquisition, construction, and
<br />equipping of a transitional care unit consisting of the addition of 24 skilled nursing beds to the existing
<br />150-bed skilled nursing facility located at 900 2nd Street NE in the City of Minneapolis (the “TCU Facility”);
<br />(ii) fund capitalized interest on the City Note, the Minneapolis Note, and the Lauderdale Note (collectively,
<br />the “Notes”) during construction of the TCU Facility; (iii) refund the outstanding Variable Rate Demand
<br />Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (St. Hedwig’s Assisted Living Project), Series 2002 (the “2002
<br />Assisted Living Bonds”), issued by the City of Minneapolis on December 23, 2002, in the original aggregate
<br />principal amount of $7,570,000; (iv) refund the outstanding Variable Rate Demand Nursing Home Revenue
<br />Refunding Bonds (Catholic Eldercare Project), Series 2002 (the “2002 Nursing Home Bonds”), issued by the
<br />City of Minneapolis on December 23, 2002, in the original aggregate principal amount of $9,580,000; (v)
<br />refinance certain outstanding taxable indebtedness of the Borrower; (vi) fund required reserves for the Notes,
<br />if any; and (vii) pay the costs of issuing the Notes (collectively, the “Project”). The City of Minneapolis
<br />loaned the proceeds of the 2002 Assisted Living Bonds to Catholic Eldercare Community Services
<br />Corporation II, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation and an affiliate of the Borrower, to finance the acquisition,
<br />construction, and equipping of a 71-unit assisted living facility located at 2919 Randolph Street NE
<br />(commonly known as RiverVillage East) in the City of Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis loaned the
