Community Development Director Ericson indicated that this was supposed to have been a
public hearing but the City was informed that the page of the newspaper that contained the public
notice of the hearing had “fallen out of the printer” which means the meeting was not properly
noticed for tonight’s meeting. He then suggested opening the public hearing and continuing it to
October 1, 2001 as staff is asking that the EDA call to order at the work session to handle this
matter.
City Attorney Riggs indicated there was no need to open the public hearing and continue it, as it
was not noticed for this date. He then indicated that proper notice was posted in the newspaper
for October 1, 2001.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Economic Development Authority
From: James Ericson, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Discussion and Consideration of EDA Resolution 01-
EDA-153, a Resolution providing for the Issuance and
Sale of the EDA’s Taxable Tax Increment Bonds, Series
2001, and Approving Execution of Various Agreements
Date of Report: October 4, 2001
Background:
Over the course of this year and last, City staff has been working with Jim O’Meara of
Briggs and Morgan to finalize the development assistance agreement for the Mermaid
project. We have been close to being final for some time now, and then had to put on
hold the approval pending the outcome of the legislature’s revisions to the TIF laws.
Because of those changes, the foundation of the TIF agreement had to be revised. Now,
after many months of revisions, the documents are in place and the agreement is ready
to be approved by the Economic Development Authority.
Jim O’Meara will be present at the meeting to address any of your questions pertaining to
the attached Development Assistance Agreement, the Indenture of Trust, or the Private
Placement Memorandum. For the Authority’s reference, the Private Placement
Memorandum (PPM) has been prepared by the Mermaid’s financial consultant and will
be used in conjunction with the sale of the bonds to a third party. It is included for the
Authority’s information only and does not require the Authority’s execution.
Discussion:
Essentially what the Authority is approving with Resolution 01-EDA-153 is the issuance of
the tax increment revenue bonds not to exceed $850,000 at an interest rate not to
exceed 7.75%. The Council may recall that prior to the legislature imposed changes, the
amount of the assistance had been discussed at levels that exceeded $2,000,000.
The Bonds being approved for issuance are not general obligation bonds and do not put
the City at any risk. The Bonds are repaid through the increment generated above and
beyond the established tax capacity of the Mermaid project. If for some reason the
increment is not sufficient to pay the Bonds, the Halls have provided their personal
guarantee. The net proceeds of the Bonds shall provide funds to the Mermaid to cover
certain eligible costs such as land acquisitions.
The TIF plans were approved for modification in November of 2000 to allow for this
development to move forward.
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 01-EDA-153, a resolution providing for the Issuance and sale of the
EDA’s Taxable Tax Increment Bonds, Series 2001, and approving execution of various
Agreements.
If you should have any questions about this or any of the attachments, please feel free to
contact me prior to the meeting.

RESOLUTION NO. 01-EDA-153
RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE
EDA'S TAXABLE TAX INCREMENT REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2001,
AND APPROVING EXECUTION OF VARIOUS AGREEMENTS
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the
Mounds View Economic Development Authority (the "EDA") as follows:
1. Recitals and Findings. It is hereby recited and determined:
(a) The EDA is authorized under the laws of Minnesota, including
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090 through 469.108, and the powers
conferred on the EDA therein (collectively, the "Act"), to enter into certain
agreements and to issue revenue bonds to aid in financing certain projects.
(b) Pursuant to and in furtherance of the objectives of the Act, the EDA
has undertaken a program to promote development and redevelopment of
certain land within the City of Mounds View and in this connection is engaged in
carrying out the Mounds View Economic Development Project (the
"Development Project") within the City.
(c) MoundsVista, Inc. (the "Developer"), has presented the EDA with a
proposal for the completion of certain improvements within the Development
Project, consisting generally of certain redevelopment activities and the
construction of new hotel and banquet facilities, and a certain Development
Assistance Agreement between the EDA and the Developer (the "Development
Agreement") stating the terms and conditions thereof and the Authority's
responsibilities respecting the assistance thereof has on the date hereof been
presented to the Board for its consideration.
(d) To provide financing for certain Development Costs, as defined in
the Development Agreement, the EDA expects to issue its Taxable Tax
Increment Revenue Bonds, Series 2001 (the "Bonds").
(e) The Bonds are to be issued pursuant to a certain Indenture of Trust
(the "Indenture") between the EDA and U.S. Bank National Association, in Saint
Paul, Minnesota, as "Trustee" thereunder.
(f) The Developer has arranged for Miller Johnson Steichen Kinnard,
Inc., and/or other underwriters (the "Placement Agent"), to prepare and distribute
a certain Private Placement Memorandum respecting the Bonds (the "Private
Placement Memorandum") and arrange for the purchase of the Bonds from the
EDA.

Resolution 01-EDA-153

(g) Each capitalized term which is used but not otherwise defined in
this Resolution shall have the meaning given to that term in the Indenture.
(h) The Board hereby finds that the execution and delivery of the
Indenture and the Development Agreement and the issuance of the Bonds are in
furtherance of the Act.
2. Acceptance of Offer; Approval of Agreements. Subject to and
contingent upon the Placement Agent's successful arrangement of the placement, sale
and issuance of the Bonds, the Board hereby approves and authorizes the EDA's
execution and delivery of and performance under the Indenture and the Development
Agreement, such execution to be substantially in the forms of the same which have
been presented to the EDA for the Board's consideration, but with such additions
thereto or deletions therefrom as the officers of the EDA executing the same shall in
their discretion deem appropriate or necessary, as evidenced by their execution thereof.
As so executed and delivered, the Indenture is and shall be as much a part of this
Resolution as though set forth herein. The principal amount of the Bonds shall not
exceed $850,000, and the interest rate borne by the Bonds shall not exceed 7.75%.
The proceeds of the Bonds shall be applied as provided in the Indenture and/or the
certifications of the EDA.
3. Purpose. The Net Proceeds of the Bonds (as the term "Net
Proceeds" is defined in the Indenture) shall provide funds to finance demonstrated and
eligible Development Costs.
4. Delivery; Application of Proceeds. Contingent upon the execution
and delivery of the Indenture and the Development Agreement, the Bonds are
authorized to be executed by the EDA, authenticated by the Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture and delivered to the original purchaser or purchasers thereof upon receipt of
the total purchase price thereof.
5. Records and Certificates. Upon request, the officers of the EDA
are hereby authorized to prepare and furnish to the Trustee, the Placement Agent, and
to the attorneys approving the legality of the issuance of the Bonds certified copies of
all proceedings and records of the EDA relating to the Bonds and such other
information as may required to show facts as the same appear from the books and
records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all such
certifications, including any heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of
the EDA as to the facts recited therein.
6. No Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. The Board hereby finds
that the Bonds are exempt from continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of
the Securities and Exchange Commission due to the fact that the Bonds are issued in
denominations of $100,000 or more. Consequently, the EDA is not covenanting to
provide and will not provide annual financial information, notices of certain material
events or any other disclosure or information which would otherwise be required by that
Rule.

7. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this
Resolution shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or
unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the
remaining provisions of this Resolution.
8. Relationship to Indenture. If any provision of this Resolution
contradicts a provision of the Indenture, the latter shall apply and govern.
9. Headings. Headings in this Resolution are included for
convenience of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning of any provision
hereof.
Adopted on October 8, 2001, by the Board of Commissioners of the
Mounds View Economic Development Authority.
