Re: Resolution providing preliminary approval for the issuance of the revenue obligation proposed to be
issued by the City of Mounds View for the benefit of Catholic Eldercare
Dear Mark,
Catholic Eldercare, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, or any of its affiliates (the “Borrower”), has requested
that the City of Mounds View (the “City”) issue its revenue obligation in the maximum principal amount of
$4,000,000 (the “Mounds View Note”), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.152 through 469.1655,
as amended, and Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended. In addition to requesting that the City issue
the Mounds View Note, the Borrower has proposed that the City of Minneapolis (the “City of Minneapolis”)
issue a revenue obligation in the maximum principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “MCDA Note”) and that the
City of Lauderdale, Minnesota (the “City of Lauderdale”) issue a revenue obligation in the maximum
principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Lauderdale Note”). The City Council is being asked to adopt the
attached resolution on Monday, September 8, 2014, following the public hearing, which provides preliminary
approval for the issuance of the Mounds View Note.
If the City agrees to issue the Mounds View Note, the Borrower will use the proceeds of the Mounds View
Note, along with the proceeds of the MCDA Note and the Lauderdale Note, to (i) finance the acquisition,
construction, and equipping of a transitional care unit consisting of the addition of 24 skilled nursing beds to
the existing 150-bed skilled nursing facility (the “TCU Facility”) located at 900 2nd Street NE in the City of
Minneapolis (the “City of Minneapolis”); (ii) fund capitalized interest on the Mounds View Note, the MCDA
Note, and the Lauderdale Note (collectively, the “Notes”) during construction of the TCU Facility;
(iii) refund the outstanding Variable Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (St. Hedwig’s
Assisted Living Project), Series 2002 (the “2002 Assisted Living Bonds”), issued by the City of Minneapolis
on December 23, 2002, in the original aggregate principal amount of $7,570,000; (iv) refund the outstanding
Variable Rate Demand Nursing Home Revenue Refunding Bonds (Catholic Eldercare Project), Series 2002
(the “2002 Nursing Home Bonds”), issued by the City of Minneapolis on December 23, 2002, in the original
aggregate principal amount of $9,580,000; (v) refinance certain outstanding taxable indebtedness of the
Borrower; (vi) fund required reserves for the Notes, if any; and (vii) pay the costs of issuing the Notes
(collectively, the “Project”). The City of Minneapolis loaned the proceeds of the 2002 Assisted Living Bonds
to Catholic Eldercare Community Services Corporation II, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation and an affiliate
of the Borrower, to finance the acquisition, construction, and equipping of a 71-unit assisted living facility
located at 2919 Randolph Street NE (commonly known as RiverVillage East) in the City of Minneapolis.
449410v1 JAE MN475-38 2
The City of Minneapolis loaned the proceeds of the 2002 Nursing Home Bonds to the Borrower to
(a) refinance the acquisition, construction, and equipping of the 150-bed skilled nursing facility located at 900
2nd Street NE (commonly known as Catholic Eldercare on Main) in the City of Minneapolis; and
(b) refinance the acquisition, construction, and equipping of a 51-unit assisted living multifamily rental
housing facility located at 909 Main Street NE (commonly known as MainStreet Lodge) in the City of
Minneapolis. The facilities financed and refinanced with the proceeds of the Notes will be owned and
operated by individual affiliates of the Borrower.
The Mounds View Note is proposed to be privately placed with Northeast Bank (the “Lender”). If the
Mounds View Note is authorized to be issued by the City Council, it will be issued as a conduit revenue bond
secured solely by the revenues derived from a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to be executed by the
City and the Borrower and from other security provided by the Borrower. The Mounds View Note will not
constitute a general or moral obligation of the City and will not be secured by or payable from any property
or assets of the City (other than the interests of the City in the Loan Agreement) and will not be secured by
any taxing power of the City. The Mounds View Note will not be subject to any debt limitation imposed on
the City and the issuance of the Mounds View Note will not have any adverse impact on the credit rating of
the City, even in the event that Borrower encounters financial difficulties with respect to the facilities to be
financed and refinanced with the proceeds of the Mounds View Note.
The Mounds View Note is proposed to be issued as a tax-exempt obligation, the interest on which is excluded
from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Banks and other financial institutions generally do not
get the benefit of the tax-exemption of municipal bonds, but Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), permits each issuer of tax-exempt obligations to designate up to
$10,000,000 of tax-exempt bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” (sometimes referred to as “bank-
qualified bonds”) that are eligible for purchase by banks and other financial institutions. In order to issue
bank-qualified bonds, the issuer must not expect to issue more than $10,000,000 of bonds (other than private
activity bonds that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) in a calendar year. The Borrower has requested that the
City designate the Mounds View Note as a qualified tax-exempt obligation for purposes of Section 265(b)(3)
of the Code. This will leave the City with the ability to issue $6,000,000 for its own purposes in 2014
without impacting the bank-qualified status of the Mounds View Note. Issuing the Mounds View Note in
2014 will have no impact on the City’s ability to issue bank-qualified bonds in future years.
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Borrower will pay all of the City’s fees and expenses and pay
the City its administrative fee required for bond issuance.
The Mounds View Note was intended to be issued in October but the time schedule has been delayed due to
some planning issues that have arisen. There is a potentially historic building on the site where the TCU
Facility will be built which may need to be moved, and planning approvals have been delayed until this issue
is resolved. The Borrower still intends to close this year, but the drafting of note documents has been delayed
until this issue is resolved. We will ask to come back to the City Council once this issue is resolved to obtain
final approval for the documents related to the Mounds View Note.
I will attend the City Council meeting on September 8, 2014, and can answer any questions that may arise
during the meeting. Please contact me with any questions you may have prior to the City Council meeting.
Sincerely,
Jenny Boulton

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mark Beer, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing to Consider Resolution 8299 Regarding the Issuance of
a Revenue Note for the Benefit of Catholic Eldercare and Taking
Actions Related Thereto
Introduction:
The City Council is asked to consider a proposal to use conduit debt financing to finance the acquisition,
construction, and equipping of a transitional care unit consisting of the addition of 24 skilled nursing beds
to the existing 150-bed skilled nursing facility located at 900 2nd Street NE in the City of Minneapolis.
The City is part of the service area for this facility thus we are able to use our lending authority. The
preliminary revenue note amount is $4,000,000 and the City will receive a 1% issuance fee ($40,000) for
the use of the City’s lending authority. Catholic Eldercare the borrower has proposed to apply the
proceeds of the City Note, along with the proceeds of a revenue note proposed to be issued by the City of
Lauderdale, Minnesota in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10,000,000 and a revenue note
proposed to be issued by the City of Minneapolis in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$5,000,000 for this project. The note will not constitute a general or moral obligation of the City and will
not be secured by or payable from any property or assets of the City and will not be secured by any taxing
power of the City. The City Council has indicated its’ support for moving forward with use of conduit debt
financing for this project.
Discussion:
There are a number of steps that will need to happen before the Subordinate Health Care Facility
Revenue Note can be issued. The first steps are for the City Council is to grant preliminary approval,
hold a public hearing, and receive approval from the Minnesota Department of Employment and
Economic Development (DEED). Final approval would occur at a future date once the project is granted
approval by the City of Minneapolis.
The City Council is not obligated to issue the note by this resolution this is just one of the steps necessary
to move toward that objective. If at any time during the review process, the City Council determines that
this is not in the City’s best interest we can withdraw support for the note issuance. The City is
represented by Jenny Boulton as bond council from Kennedy & Graven.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Council open the public hearing, take any comment, ask questions and if
comfortable approve Resolution 8299.
Respectfully submitted,

Fee on Xcel Energy Electric and Natural Gas Operations
within the City of Mounds View
Attached is an ordinance to receive a public hearing, second reading and adoption. The
public hearing notice was published in the Sun Focus on August 29, 2014. Proceeds of
the fee are split between the General Fund and the Street Improvement Fund. This fee
is paid by all utility users which includes those that would not normally pay property
taxes.
This ordinance continues the agreement with Xcel Energy under which Xcel Energy will
collect a franchise fee in the amount of 4% of Xcel’s electric and natural gas gross
operating revenues for services within the City of Mounds View during the year 2015.
Ordinances 875 and 876 passed on January 28, 2013 extended the original 20 year
franchise agreement for another 20 years. It provides that the City may impose a
franchise fee of not more than 4% of Xcel’s gross operating revenues at any time during
the 20-year term of the franchise. The 20-year term runs from January 2013 through
January 28, 2034. The franchise fee was first collected in 1993.
It has been the practice to include a sunset provision in the ordinance that requires it to
be re-enacted each year. Once adopted, it will then be published in the Sun Focus and
take effect as provided in the ordinance. Staff would request that a summary ordinance
be published with the complete ordinance available on-line and at City Hall.

Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing, Second Reading and Adoption of
Ordinance 893, an Ordinance Continuing a Franchise
Fee on Center Point Energy Natural Gas Operations
within the City of Mounds View
Attached is an ordinance to receive a public hearing, second reading and adoption. The
public hearing notice was published in the Sun Focus on August 29, 2014. Proceeds of
this fee are split between the General Fund and the Street Improvement Fund. This fee
is paid by all utility users which includes those that would not normally pay property

This ordinance continues the agreement with Center Point Energy under which Center
Point Energy will collect a franchise fee in the amount of 4% of Center Point’s natural
gas gross operating revenues for services within the City of Mounds View during the
year 2015.
Ordinance 625 passed on June 28, 1999 originally enacted the franchise agreement. It
provides that the City may impose a franchise fee of not more than 4% of Center Point’s
gross operating revenues at any time through July 1, 2019. The franchise fee was first
collected in 2001.
It has been the practice to include a sunset provision in the ordinance requiring it to be
re-enacted each year. Franchise fees collected under this agreement are minimal due
to Center Point Energy’s small customer base within the City of Mounds View. Once
adopted, it will be published in the Sun Focus and take effect as provided in the
ordinance after publication. Staff would request that a summary ordinance be published
with the complete ordinance available on-line and at City Hall.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8296 - Approval of the Final Plat for “Anna Place,” the
Subdivision of the East Two Acres of the Abiding Savior Church
Property at 8211 Red Oak Drive; Planning Case MA2014-002
Introduction:
Terry Buchanan, representing Kayak Remodeling & Redevelopment, has submitted an
application for a major subdivision of the east two acres of 8211 Red Oak Drive. The proposed
subdivision would create 5 additional lots from the existing one lot.
Discussion:
Abiding Savior Church owns the property at 8211 Red Oak Drive, which is a 7-acre parcel with
a church building and large parking lot. This property is currently zoned R-1, Single Family
Residential, and the Metropolitan Council approved amending the Comprehensive Plan Existing
and Future Land Use Maps to change this 2-acre area to single family detached (SFD). All of
the lots shown on the plat meet and exceed the minimum lot size requirements: 11,000 square
feet and 75 feet wide for interior lots, and 12,500 square feet and 100 feet wide for corner lots.
Local Water Management Plan: Also known as the City’s Surface Water Management Plan,
this planning document guides the City in regards to drainage and stormwater management.
The project area is located in the AA-5 sub-watershed. The minimum recommended building
elevation for the AA-5 sub-watershed is set at 904 feet. The building elevations are confirmed
by City Staff with each permit for new construction.
Easements: The City’s Subdivision Code requires that plats dedicate perimeter drainage and
utility easements for each lot in the subdivision; ten feet wide in the front and rear, and five feet
wide on the sides. This plat does dedicate the necessary perimeter easements. A drainage
easement will be added around the stormwater infiltration area in the rear of lots 2, 3 and 4.
Streets: Two of the new lots will access Ardan Avenue, two lots will access Eastwood Road,
and the corner lot could access either street. Both Ardan and Eastwood will be reconstructed in
2014 and are adequate to handle the amount of added traffic that five additional homes would
create.
Utilities: All utilities on the site must be installed underground, per Section 1203.10. Water
and sanitary sewer connections are being installed to the five new lots during the 2014 street
reconstruction project.
Wetlands: The National Wetlands Inventory Map and the City’s official Wetland Zoning Map
identify no wetlands within the property boundary. The applicant has submitted their application
to Rice Creek Watershed District.
8211 Red Oak Major Subdivision
September 8, 2014
Page 2
Park Dedication Requirements: The Subdivision Code indicates that any subdivision of land
is subject to a park dedication fee. The dedication imposed is intended to mitigate public costs
to the parks system associated with land development. The fee shall be reasonable and based
on the extent of the development. For major subdivisions, the park dedication fee is typically
equal to 10% of the market value of the land. To establish the market value, staff uses the
Ramsey County assessed values as the basis for dedication computation. 2013 is the most
recent year that Ramsey County has available for market values.
During the review of the preliminary plat, the Council discussed what the park dedication fee
should be for this case. Council agreed to use the average land value for the surrounding
single family properties, which is $2.11 per square foot, and to credit the $3,984 park dedication
fee already paid by Abiding Savior in 2007 during the major subdivision they did but then never
developed the land.
The project area is 91,412 square feet x $2.11/sq. foot = $192,879 land value. The dedication
amount owed would be 10% of the determined land value which equals $19,288 - $3,984 =
$15,304.
Traffic: The amount of daily vehicle trips on the proposed road will increase since five
additional housing units are proposed, although there is already a lot of traffic from the site
since it is a church. On average, single-family homes generate about 10 vehicle trips per day,
thus one could expect an additional 50 movements along Ardan Avenue and Eastwood Road
as a result of this subdivision.
Vegetation: The 7 acre site is primarily building and asphalt parking lot with only a small
amount of green space. The amount of green space will increase with the homes versus the
parking lot. Staff recommends that after each house has been constructed, at least one tree
shall be planted in the front yard. The new tree species must be approved by the City.
Recommendation:
Review and discuss the final plat. Staff review revealed no deficiencies at this time and thus
Resolution 8296 recommending approval of the final plat has been drafted for action.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Thomas Kinney, Chief of Police
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8300, Authorization to Advertise and Create an
Eligibility List to Initiate the Police Officer Hiring Process
Background:
The Mounds View Police Civil Service eligibility list for Police Officer is no longer current,
and the police department needs to move forward by creating a new eligibility list for a
vacancy in the position of police officer. The purpose of this staff report is to seek approval
to create an active Civil Service eligibility list for police officer and seek approval to begin
the process to hire a police officer to fill a vacancy.
Discussion:
The most recent opening for police officer occurred after the resignation of probationary
Officer David Radtke on August 20, 2014. Therefore, this process is being initiated to
replace one current officer vacancy.
The police officer position is an essential public safety position within the city, and ideally,
having a replacement officer in place as soon as practical is critical to maintaining
uninterrupted continuity of policing services in the city. Delaying the replacement of this
patrol officer position will result in a reduction of police service, and could result in
additional expenses in terms of overtime cost to backfill the vacancy.
On August 25, 2014, The Mounds View Police Civil Service Commission approved the
process for hiring a police officer for the current opening. The commission also approved
the dissolution of the old eligibility list and approved the establishment of a new eligibility
