Resolution 13-043; Giving Preliminary Approval to the Issuance of Multifamily Housing <br />Revenue Bond Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 462A and 462C on Behalf of <br />St. Anthony Leased Housing Associates II Limited Partnership Stacie Kvilvang Ehlers <br />& Associates is presenting, <br />Mayor Faust opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m. <br />Ms. Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers & Associates, reviewed the City has received a request from St. <br />Anthony Leased Housing Associates II Limited Partnership (the `Borrower") that the City issue <br />revenue bonds under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C. The proceeds will be loaned by the <br />City to Borrower and used to finance a senior rental housing development containing <br />approximately 170 units as part of the Silver Lake Village Redevelopment. The Borrower is a <br />single purpose entity limited partnership formed by Dominium Development in connection with <br />the proposed development. <br />The bonds are proposed to be issued in one or more series in the aggregate principal amount of <br />up to $18,750,000. The debt service on the bonds will be payable solely from payments to be <br />made by the Borrower and the City will have no liability with respect to payment on the bonds. <br />The City will have limited liability with respect to how the proceeds are spent, timing of <br />expenditures and arbitrage calculations and reporting. Since arbitrage calculations were not <br />completed by the borrower on their prior conduit bonds for another project. Ehlers was required <br />to complete them for audit purposes. We recommend that the City require that the Borrower <br />retain the City's financial advisory firm to complete the arbitrage calculations for the bonds as <br />needed to assure they are completed and to lessen any liability for the City with regards to the <br />bonds, if they are ever audited by the IRS. <br />The Borrower will pay all City expenses with respect to the bonds (legal and financial advisor), <br />and upon issuance of the bonds will pay the City a fee equal to I% of the principal amount of the <br />bonds in accordance with the City's policy for issuance of revenue bonds. Based upon the <br />proposed amount, this fee would be approximately $187,500. These funds would be unrestricted <br />
