RE: Bond Transcript for EDA, Minnesota Public Project Promissory
Non -Recourse Note, Series 1993
Dear Elaine:
Attached are copies of the note Transcripts for the City Hall
financing Note. there is one copy for the Economic Development
Authority (EDA) and one for the City. these Transcripts contain
many original documents or certified copies and they should be
safeguarded for future reference and use.
The EDA is the issuer of the Note and the owner of the
building. The City has leased the building from the EDA with an
option to purchase. Rental payments should be made to the EDA and
the EDA pays the bank. Payment schedules and purchase option buy
outs are at the end of the Lease With Option, Document 2 in the
Transcript. Exhibit B shows the rental payments and Exhibit C
shows the buy out price over the Lease term.
The Note Resolution, Document 1 in the Transcript, states the
requirements for payment of the Note. The EDA is required to
establish an account designated "Series 1993 Public Project
Promissory note fund". All rental payments and other project
proceeds are to be credited to this account. These funds can only
be used to note payments . The EDA is required to transfer funds to
the Paying Agent bank from the trust fund one prior to the due date
of the note payment. The Paying Agent then pays the bank. The
Paying Agent is the Secretary of the EDA or the bank if authorized
as the agent of the EDA to disburse funds.
The buy out amounts vary over the life of the Lease. The
longer the City leases the Hall the less the buy out amount is.
This gives the City flexibility is determining its cash flow and
the appropriate time to actually make the purchase. If the lease
runs to term the buy out is $ 0. 0 0. The

Following are some notes from the EDA Bonding Resolution and
Lease With Option. The City Council passed the resolutions on
December 14, 1992. As soon as I receive the corrected material I
will have the resolution executed and registered at the Wright
County Auditors Office. The appraisal is in progress.
REVENIIE BOND RESOLIITION
Page 1: There are two definitions of Bond Registrar.
Page 10 The stated, date of the lease is December 1. The
execution was authorized on December 14. This may not be an issue
but if possible I would like to have the Lease dated and effective
no earlier than the date authorized for execution.
Page 17: The first sentence doesn't make sense unless the first
period is a comma.
Page 19: In clause 2-4 (4) there is a reference to subsection (5)
above. Should this refer to (3)?
Exhibit A: The legal description contains a typographic error.
The "for" in the second line should be "of".
LEASE WITH OPTION
Title Page: As mentioned above, it would be best if the date was
no earlier than 14 December 1992. This same change needs to be
made throughout.
Page 6: through 31
Term of the lease should be 1 January 1993
December 2007.
Page 9: The projected completion date is The date
included in the lease should be to allow for delays in
construction or landscaping.
Page 12: Section 3.3 includes references to the land sublease.
Since the EDA will own the entire parcel this is not necessary.
The section should be corrected by deleting "or, as to the land,
subleases" in both places where it occurs.
Page 19: The term "subleasing" in the first sentence should be
"leasing".
Page 23: Section 8.1, Title should be modified by deleting "but
not the land" from the second sentence.
Exhibit A: as in the above section the description is incorrect.
Change the "for" in the second line to "of".
I will call you after transmitting this to discuss the
changes.

Dear Council Members:
Mei J. Dallman,
Admin. Assistant

Financial Analyst
Kristina DeLaundreau,
Accounts Receivable
Donna J. Matson,
Receptionist/Clerk
The following is a summary of the relevant aspects of the bond
as accepted in principal by the Elk River Bank and some matters of
general concern related to the bonding:
PROPOSED BONDING
AMOUNT:
$450,000.00
TYPE•
Revenue bond secured by revenues
TERM -
15 year
CALL•
5 year
from the lease of the _City Hall.
RATE:
Adjustable, set at 3% above the Federal Discount Rate and
adjustable twice during the bond period at the beginning of years
6 and 11. Currently, the discount rate is set at 3% yielding an
initial rate of 6%. The adjustment is capped and floored at a
maximum 1% increase or decrease, respectively, at each of the two
adjustment periods. The rate in years 1 through 5 will be 6%. The
maximum rate in years 6 through 10 is 7% and in years 11 through 15
it is 8%. The minimum rate in years 6 through 10 is 5 % and in
years 11 through 15 it is 4%.
AMORTIZATION:
The attached Schedule A shows the amortization over 15 years with
a constant 6% interest. Schedule B shows the amortization with
interest at the maximum allowed rates.
PAYMENTS:
Amortization has been set up to keep the total annual Principal and
Interest payments less than $50,000. Interest payments will be
made twice a year. Principal payments will be made once a year.
Schedule C and D show the bi-annual interest and annual principal
payments for a constant 6% and the maximum rates, respectively.
BUILDING AND LOT
10 ACRE SPLIT:
Mary Ippel has approved the inclusion of a smaller parcel rather
than the entire 75 acre parcel. The entire parcel should be deeded
to the EDA but the EDA will only pledge a portion and the building
as security. This will require a survey of some sort to get a new
Land description. Once that is done we can start drafting final
documents for the bond.
REZONING OF PARCEL:
If the parcel is split into a multiple parcels for security on the
bond the Zoning will have to be altered to allow the split. There
is a covenant on the property that requires conformance to the
Zoning Ordinance and the current Ordinance does not allow such
splits as currently zoned. The entire parcel should be rezoned to
INS which will allow any splits required or necessary for the
convenience of the City.
COST OF BUILDING:
A estimate of the cost of the structure needs to be established and
updated regularly so that the final cost or an accurate estimate is
available at bond closing.
APPRAISAL OF BUILDING:
The bank is requiring an appraisal. Selection of an appraiser and
acquisition of the appraisal is in progress at this time.

Dear Mr. Ellison:
I have visited with the Bank's Investment Officer, Mr. Robert Peroutka in
regard to the financing of the new Otsego City Hall by the Oakley
National Bank or a Klein Bank affiliate. Mr. Peroutka thought the
investment would not fit into any of the Klein Banks Investment Portfolio
at this time.
The Oakley National Bank appreciates being considered in regard to this
investment and would welcome other opportunities when they are available.
Yours truly,

RE: Financing of New Otsego City Hall/Community Center
Dear Mr. Schwahn:
This letter is in reference to a telephone conversation you
had with Bill Radzwill on November 12, 1992. Following is some
general information about Otsego and the particulars of the
financing package as it is currently contemplated by the City.
The City of Otsego is located in northeastern Wright county.
It was incorporated in 1990 and includes the area previously
governed by the Town of Otsego. The City is currently operating
out of the old town Hall building. This facility is not
sufficient due to its limited size and an inability to expand due
to the location of the building within the Mississippi River Wild
and Scenic Area. Services provided by the City are minimal at
the present time but long term plans call for construction of
both municipal water and sewer systems and a phases program of
connection of all city residents to those utilities.
The 1992 gross real estate value for the City is
$118,761,800 as reported by the Wright County Auditor. The net
tax capacity reported by the Wright County Auditor was
41,488,483. The current bonded indebtedness of the City is
$540,000 carried as General Obligation bonds. The City reduced
its bonded indebtedness by $80,000 during the past year.
The facility under construction will serve as a City Hall
and a Community Center. It is an approximately 8600 square foot
structure located on approximately 75 acres of land. The
estimated construction cost is $540,000.00. The cost of the
land, which was purchased by the City in 1992, was $130,000. The
City desires to bond approximately $450,000.00 of the total cost.
Revenue to repay the bonds results from a lease with option
to purchase between the Otsego Economic Development Authority
(hereinafter "EDA") and the City. The City transfers ownership
of the building and land to the EDA and the EDA leases the
structure and land back to the City as a lease with option to
purchase. Revenue bonds are issued by the EDA with the revenue
from the lease to the City pledged to repayment of the bonds.
The lease/option agreement contains a non -appropriation
clause and related safeguards for the bondholders. Minnesota
Statute 465.71 requires that a lease/purchase agreement entered
into by a city contain a non -appropriation clause. Several
mechanisms are included in the deal to safeguard the interests of
the bond holders in the event of a non -appropriation or other
default by the City. There is a non -substitution clause which
prohibits the City from moving to another facility used for the
same purposes for 90 days after default. In the event of default
on the lease by the City the bondholders may accelerate the bond
and the EDA must either pay the bond in full or relinquish the
facility and land to the bondholder. In that sense the financing
is similar to a mortgage in that the ultimate security for the
bondholder is the value of the facility and land.
The bonds are non-taxable municipal securities. They are
issued by the EDA which is a political subdivision of the City.
The use is public in nature and the land is held and used by the
municipality. The bond counsel, Ms. Mary Ippel of Briggs and
Morgan, will be producing an opinion to that effect.
The desired bond term is 15 years with a five (5) year call.
The interest rate is negotiable but the City is looking for a
rate in the area of 6%.
The City prefers to place the bonds relatively locally and
with a single party if possible. This allows the use of "xerox"
bonds and significantly reduces the cost of the bonding. If any
bank in your group is interested in participating in the bond
sale please contact me or Mr. Radzwill. Thank you for your time
and consideration.

Stanley A. Ellison

Dear Mr. Ellison:

(612) 497-2131
FAX (612) 497-4353
First of all, I want to thank you and Mr. Couri for your efforts in
allowing us to bid on the above mentioned bond issue for the new
Otsego City Hall. As you know, my bank has been trying to have
closer relations with the city of Otsego for some time now and we are
hopeful that our commitment to construct a new full service banking
facility in Albertville will help in this regard.
Therefore, it is with a great deal of regret that I write to inform
you of our inability to fund the above bond issue. Our reasoning is
not so much a reflection of any negative aspect of either the city or
the bond issue, but rather reflects our own lending policy. Our
specific areas of concern have to do with the fact that the town hall
construction was done without a referendum and in fact, may carry
some unknown amount of opposition within the city of Otsego which we
are unaware of. Finally, the fact that the bonds will not be a
general obligation issue and that the lease is cancelable,
essentially leaves us without a responsible debtor. The loan would
je an asset based loan in the strictest sense of the word and our
loan policy dictates that we avoid such situations. While we have no
immediate fear of the city of Otsego walking away from its
obligation, we are loathe to establish a precedent in this area which
other municipalities might come to expect from us.
I am hopeful that you understand our
regret we have in passing on this
questions please do not hesitate

Sipcerely,
Gerald A. Manville

Re: City of Otsego proposed City Hall bond issue.
Dear Jerry:
I am writing to confirm our discussions regarding a proposed
bond issue for the Otsego City Hall. In our tentative discussions,
you thought that the board would accept a revenue bond from the
Economic Development Authority (EDA) of the City of Otsego. The
bond would not be a general obligation bond, but would be secured
by the rentals paid by the City to the EDA for the use of the
building, and would contain a non -appropriation clause such that if
the City failed to appropriate funds for rental, the Bank would
have the right to gain possession of the City Hall building and
land (or other equivalent clause granting the Bank substantially
the same powers).
The bond would be a 15-year bond, bank -qualified under Section
265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and will be issued with no
rating, no discount and no financial consultant or fiscal fee. The
bond will be registered with the Wright County Auditor. Simple
interest would accrue at 6.0% annually, with interest payments
twice annually and fairly level principal payments annually. The
bond would be callable anytime after five years.
The amount of the bond would not exceed $500,000, but may be
limited by the bank to 65% of the lower of cost or the appraised
value of the building and land, although the Bank may be able to
commit to a percentage higher than 65%. The land was purchased for
approximately $120,000 in early 1992, and the building is expected
to cost approximately $540,000 to construct. Mary Ipple of Briggs
and Morgan will provide the bond opinion.
Mr. Jerry Manville
November 11, 1992
Page Two
These terms were presented to the City Council on November 9,
1992, and the Council indicated its satisfaction in principal with
the terms, although they would prefer a higher percentage than 65%.
At this time I would appreciate it if you would obtain a commitment
from the board that the Bank will provide financing on the terms
discussed above, subject to the preparation of a debt service
schedule detailing payment dates and amounts once a dollar figure
for the bond is obtained, and subject to agreement as to the
details of the issue.
I am also enclosing a copy of the floor plan of the main
floor. Plans for the second floor and for the building design
generally are available in our office, but they are hard to copy
due to their large size. Please feel free to contact Stan Ellison
or Andy MacArthur if you wish to see all of the plans.
Finally, I will be out of town for the rest of November. Stan
Ellison of our office will be working on this bond issue. Feel
free to contact him with any questions you may have.

Michael C. Couri

I.INTRODUCTION AND LEGAL BASIS
A. Intent
The Economic Development Authority of the City of Otsego
(hereinafter "EDA") proposes to cause to be constructed an
approximately 8600 square foot Community Center (hereinafter
"Center"). The City of Otsego (hereinafter "City") will
lease the Center from the EDA with an option to purchase
pursuant to a lease with option to purchase agreement. A
revenue bond in the principal amount not to exceed $ 540,000
is proposed to be sold by the EDA to finance the
construction of the Center. The revenue bond will be
secured by the payments to be made by the City under the
lease with option to purchase agreement.
B. Statement
The City and EDA have determined that conditions exist
within the Redevelopment Area which have prevented
development and redevelopment of land by private enterprise.
It has been found that the Redevelopment Area is potentially
more useful and valuable for contributing to the public
health, safety and welfare than has been realized under
existing development.
The Center is intended to serve as a focal point and
stimulus for a community identity for the newly organized
City which has no organized downtown area at this time. The
Center is also intended to serve as a central location for
facilitating economic and other development and
redevelopment in the City. It is hoped that the Center and
the Redevelopment Area will serve as a nucleus for a future
downtown area.
The development of these parcels is not attainable in the
foreseeable future without the intervention of the EDA in
the private development process. The EDA has prepared the
Redevelopment Plan, which provides for the elimination of
these conditions, thereby making the land useful and
valuable for contributing to the public health, safety and
welfare.
C. Redevelopment Area Boundaries
The boundaries of the Redevelopment Area are outlined on the
Redevelopment Area Boundary Map, Exhibit A.
All land included in the Project Area is within the legal
boundaries of the City.
1
II.
D. Statement of Authority
Minnesota Statutes Section 469.001-469.047 (Housing and
Redevelopment Authority Act) grants municipalities the
authority to designate redevelopment areas within the
boundaries of the municipalities. Within these areas, the
municipality may adopt a redevelopment plan and establish a
project consistent with the municipality's public purpose.
The project as contemplated by this plan consists of a
redevelopment project as defined in Section 469.001,
Subdivision 14. The lease with option to purchase agreement
is authorized under Minnesota Statutes, Section 465.71.
E. Findings and Declaration
The City of Otsego and the Economic Development Authority of
the City of Otsego make the following findings.
1. The certain parcels of land in the project area
would not be made available for redevelopment
without some public financial aid.
2. The redevelopment plans for the Redevelopment Area
I
n Otsego will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the needs of the locality as a
whole, for the redevelopment of the area by
private enterprise.
3. The Redevelopment Plan conforms to the general
plan for development of the locality as a whole.
REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
A. Redevelopment Plan Objectives
The EDA, through implementation of this plan, seeks to
achieve the following objectives:
1. To promote and
development of
seek the orderly
the Redevelopment
and harmonious
Area.
2. To provide logical and organized land use for the
entire Redevelopment Area consistent with the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Zoning
Ordinance of the City.
3. To promote the prompt development of property in
Redevelopment Area with a minimal adverse impact
on the environment.
4. To provide general design guidance in conjunction
with a suitable development contract in order to
2
C.
enhance the physical environment of the area.
5. To provide adequate utilities and other public
improvements and facilities, to enhance the
Redevelopment Area and the City for new and
existing development.
6. To assist the financial feasibility of private
projects to the extent necessary and where there
is a corresponding level of public benefit.
7. To enhance the overall economy of the City and
surrounding area by retaining current, and
providing additional, employment opportunities for
the residents of the City and surrounding
community
8. To increase the City's tax base.
9. To stimulate development and investment within the
Redevelopment Area by private interests.
Land IIse
The proposed land use for the Redevelopment Area is
commercial office space and other lot intensity
commercial use types. This may include some retail or
service commercial land uses. Public facilities
necessary for the public health, safety and welfare are
allowed uses by conditional use permit.
Redevelopment Activities
1. Acquisition
The City presently owns the property in the
Redevelopment Area on which the Center will be
located. Other than that property, no property is
contemplated to be acquired by the EDA at the
present time.
2. Relocation
It is not expected that any persons will be
displaced as a result of this Redevelopment Plan.
3. Rational
The EDA proposes
Center within the
of site was based
proximity to the
to cause construction of the
Redevelopment Area. The choice
on several factors including the
current Community Center
3
structure, limits on expansion of current
structures, central location in the City and
current land uses on the Area.
The City selected the site because the land within
the Redevelopment Area has been unproductive for a
long period and the Area is located near the
current Community Center and City Hall.
Expansion or reconstruction of the current City
facility is impossible due to the Mississippi
River Wild and Scenic River zoning regulations
imposed by the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources by Rule. These rules and regulations
post date the current structures and effectively
prevent any modification or further construction
in the vicinity of the current structures.
The completed facility will be sold to the City
under a lease, with option to purchase agreement.

Enclosed is a memorandum outlining several options available
for financing the new City Hall. Note that if an EDA is used and
General Obligation bonds are sold there is still a requirement for
an election. If bonds of any type are used there will be problems
with repaying the City for any disbursements made prior to a
resolution authorizing the bonding and actual sale of the bonds.
An alternative not addressed in the memorandum is paying for the
City Hall with available funds and issuing Certificates of
Indebtedness for capital items.
This matter needs to be addressed as soon as possible. After
a choice is made on the avenue to pursue our office can complete
the arrangements. The process will most likely involve using the
services of outside counsel for some of the particulars of the
transactions. If you have an questions please contact me at our

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
Although no general purpose is stated in the statute
(Minnesota Statute 469.090 through 469.1081) for an Economic
Development Authority (hereinafter "EDA") the statute can be read
to indicate that an EDA is generally formed to assist and
facilitate economic development within a city. If supportable
finding of fact can be established an EDA can perform a large
number of things including owning and operating properties. The
strongest powers of an EDA are within established Economic
Development Districts (hereinafter "EDD"). There are distinct
limits on what types of property can be included in an EDD.
Generally EDD's are restricted to property that is economically
distressed. Outside of an EDD the EDA may operate in a more
restrictive manner to stimulate economic development. The
following describes the steps required to establish and operate an
EDA.
IDENTIFY THE NEED: The first step in establishing an EDA is
identifying the need for the 'body. This is a major policy decision
and should be based on identified problems, the city plan and
estimates of required development. The basis in fact for the need
should be identified in the enabling resolution if possible.
ESTABLISH THE EDA: Minnesota Statute 469.091 establishes city
authority to form an EDA. This is done by passing an enabling
resolution. The EDA may be limited by this resolution to the
powers contained in Minnesota Statutes 460.090 to 469.108. An EDA
can also assume the powers of a Housing and Redevelopment Authority
under Minnesota Statutes 469.001 to 469.047 and the powers of a
city under Minnesota Statutes 469.124 to 469.134 and other law.
The process is established by Minnesota Statute 469.093.
Adoption of the enabling resolution must be preceded by a public
hearing. This hearing must be preceded by notice. Notice must
include the time and place of the hearing, the purpose of the
hearing and a summary of the resolution. This notice must be
published in a newspaper of general circulation within the city for
two consecutive weeks with the first publication not more than 30
days from the date of the hearing.
ORGANIZE THE EDA: A series of steps, each accompanied by a
resolution,are required for organizing the EDA and putting it into
operation. The first of these is the adoption of a resolution by
the City council setting salaries for the Board of Commissioners.
These salaries are to be set on a per -meeting basis.
The next step is adoption of an organizing resolution by the
EDA Bard of Commissioners (hereinafter "Board"). This organizing
resolution establishes the existence of the EDA, adopts its bylaws
and appoints officers. Required officers are a President, Vice -
President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer and Secretary. The
President and Vice -President must be Commissioners and cannot be
the same person.
The next step is to establish an official Depository. The
Depository must be a federally or state charter institution within
the State of Minnesota. The Depository is required to post a bond
equal to the maximum amount to be deposited and conditioned for
safekeeping and prompt repayment of deposits. This bond must be
approved for form and amount by resolution of the Board.
The Treasurer must also be bonded. The Treasurers bond must
be conditioned for the faithful discharge of official duties and be
in an amount equal to twice the amount estimated to be on hand but
no more than $300,000. This bond must also be approved for form
and amount by resolution of the board.
ESTABLISH A BUDGET: The EDA must prepare an operational budget.
The budget must be approved by the Board and presented to the City
Council for approval. The budget should include all expected
costs. When presenting the budget to the City Council the EDA
should also present estimates of its financial needs and a request
for any tax levy or bonding required of the city.
APPROVE THE EDA BUDGET: Approval authority for the EDA budget
rests in the City Council.
FINANCING THE EDA: An EDA may be financed through all of the
normal means that city projects are finances including general
obligation bonds, revenue bonds tax increment financing and tax
levies. General obligation bonds may be issued by the EDA with
approval of the city. These bonds pledge the full faith and credit
of the city. They require an election to approve the bond.
Revenue bonds may be issued by resolution of the EDA. These
bonds may only be used for limited purposes. They may be secured
by a pledge of an lien on EDA revenue. If EDA revenue is pledged
it cannot be used for any purpose other than repayment of the bond
principle and interest. The bonds do not pledge the full faith and
credit of the city.
Tax increment financing is available to an EDA. The bonds may
be general obligation or revenue bonds. Tax increment financing -by
an EDA is subject to the strictures of Minnesota Statute 469.178.
A city may levy taxes for the EDA. If the EDA requests a tax
the city may levy the tax for the benefit of the EDA. This tax is
limited to a maximum of 0.01813 percent of the taxable market value
of the property taxed. The process for such levies is controlled
by Minnesota Statute 469.107, Subdivision 2. The requirements
include a noticed public hearing, adoption of a resolution and
publication of the adopted resolution. This process is subject to
referendum on timely demand of residents. _
MANAGE PROJECTS: After the EDA is organized and funded it may
establish and manage projects intended to stimulate, expedite or
facilitate economic development within the city.
GENERAL MATTERS. The EDA only indirectly has the power to provide
financing for the City Hall. To allow the EDA to provide such
financing the City Council and the Board will have to make findings
of fact that the new City Hall will support economic development.
Use of general obligation bonds will require an election and cannot
be used to repay funds already disbursed. General revenue bonding
is available. The EDA may have the power to use other financing
options but these are not clearly spelled out in the statute.
Other cities have used EDA's for such purposes but in many cases
this may have been situationally dependent. If the new city hall
were located in a distressed neighborhood there would be a clear
basis for the action. The likelihood of a challenge is small but
it could be difficult to establish sufficient basis for the City
Hall supporting economic development if there were a challenge.
NON-PROFIT CORPORATION
The use of a non-profit corporation as an intermediary is
intended to accomplish several ends. It allows the City to avoid
Levy limits, it provides a financing method for projects that
cannot be bonded and establishes an independent entity for
Liability purposes. The process is simple in concept but somewhat
complex in execution. Conceptually the process involves
establishing a non-profit corporation, transferring ownership of a
property to the corporation and leasing the property back from that
corporation The corporation finances the project by issuing
Certificates of Participation to lending institutions with the
receipts from the project as security. There are few restrictions
other than those normally in place on City governments in the use
of a non-profit as a middle entity. The following describes the
steps in the non-profit process.
IDENTIFY THE NEED: The first step in establishing the non-profit
is identifying a need. This is a less of a major policy decision
and may be based on rather "soft" needs.
ESTABLISH THE NON-PROFIT: The non-profit is established by
incorporation similar to any Minnesota business corporation. The
controlling authority is Minnesota Statute 317A. Minnesota Statute
317A.101 states that a non-profit corporation may be formed for any
legal activity. The Articles of the non-profit are similar inform
to a business corporation and control the activities of the
corporation. The contents of the Articles, required and optional,
are laid out in Minnesota Statute 317A.111. The process is one of
selecting a name, drafting Articles and registering the corporation
with the Secretary of State.
ORGANIZE THE NON-PROFIT: Once the non-profit is established it
must be organized. The original Board of Directors (hereinafter
"Board") may be named in the Articles. There must be at least
three (3) Directors on the Board but there may be more. The term
of office for the Directors may be fixed in the Articles or bylaws.
It is advisable to do so in the bylaws since these are more easily
amended. Directors must be selected with care since there is, -as
with any corporation, a potential for conflict of interest. If the
City Council was selected as the Board there would be a conflict
since the corporation would be contracting with the City to lease
the City Hall.
The Board must meet and adopt bylaws. The bylaws control the
operation of the corporation where the Articles are silent. They
are important in that they can assign many duties not already
I
mposed by statute and can limit or expand the operating ability of
the corporation. For these reasons the bylaws need to be fairly
well thought out.
The Board must then appoint corporate. officers. required
officers include a President and a Treasurer. other officers may
be appointed except as limited by the Articles or bylaws. The
duties of the President and Treasurer are spelled out in Minnesota
Statute 317A.305.
The corporation can exist with or without members. Members
can be admitted for consideration or for no consideration. The
consent, wither actual or implied, of the person is required for
membership. if members are allowed they are voting members. If
there are voting members there must be at least one annual meeting.
Membership rights can be made non-transferrable by the Articles of
bylaws. Members are not generally liable for debts of the
corporation similar to shareholders in a business corporation.
ESTABLISH A BUDGET: Anon -profit corporation is required to keep
books and to operate in a manner that serves the purposes of the
corporation. There are fewer restriction than are imposed on an
Economic Development Authority (hereinafter "EDA"). A budget
should be prepared to control internal operations but the
corporation is an independent entity and does not have requirements
for reporting to the City unless imposed by the bylaws.
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY TO THE NON-PROFIT: This is the most
problematic part of this financing method. There are many methods
of property transfer. The property could be transferred with a
right to reentry in the City based on pay off of the notes on the
property. The property could be sold to the non-profit with the
funds coming from the non-profit financing and paid to the City as
a cash payment. There are many other methods of transfer available
and these will need to be investigated.
FINANCING THE NON-PROFIT: The primary financing method in this
case will be Certificates of Participation issued by the
corporation to lending institutions. these pledge only the faith
and credit of the corporation, not of the City. The security would
be the revenue from the rents on the building. The interest will
be higher than General Obligation Bonds but at current rates it
should not be extreme. The corporation can also levy on members if
any exist.
MANAGE PROJECTS: After the corporation is organized and funded -it
may establish and manage any projects within the limits of its
Articles.
GENERAL MATTERS: The most problematic matter is the selection of
Directors. This should be done carefully to avoid potential
conflicts. The question of members must also be addressed.
Generally the non-profit corporation is a much more flexible entity
than an EDA and can involve itself in a much broader range of
activities. There are significantly fewer restrictions and
conditions placed on its operation than an EDA. The majority of
these are self imposed in the Articles or bylaws. Some
restrictions should be imposed to control the corporations
activities and increase the level of fiduciary responsibility to
the City. These can be selected to provide the maximum benefit to
the City while allowing freedom of operation to the corporation.

Re: City of Otsego proposed City Hall bond issue.
Dear Jerry:
I am writing to confirm our discussions regarding a proposed
bond issue for the Otsego City Hall. In our tentative discussions,
you thought that the board would accept a revenue bond from the
Economic Development Authority (EDA) of the City of Otsego. The
bond would not be a general obligation bond, but would be secured
by the rentals paid by the City to the EDA for the use of the
building, and would contain a non -appropriation clause such that if
the City failed to appropriate funds for rental, the Bank would
have the right to gain possession of the City Hall building and
land (or other equivalent clause granting the Bank substantially
the same powers).
The bond would be a 15-year bond, bank -qualified under Section
265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and will be issued with no
rating, no discount and no financial consultant or fiscal fee. The
bond will be registered with the Wright County Auditor. Simple
interest would accrue at 6.0% annually, with interest payments
twice annually and fairly level principal payments annually. The
bond would be callable anytime after five years.
The amount of the .bond would not exceed $500,000, but may be
limited by the bank to 65% of the lower of cost or the appraised
value of the building and land, although the Bank may be able to
commit to a percentage higher than 65%. The land was purchased for
approximately $120,000 in early 1992, and the building is expected
to cost approximately $540,000 to construct. Mary Ipple of Briggs
and Morgan will provide the bond opinion.
Mr. Jerry Manville
November 11, 1992
Page Two
These terms were presented to the City Council on November 9,
1992, and the Council indicated its satisfaction in principal with
the terms, although they would prefer a higher percentage than 65%.
At this time I would appreciate it if you would obtain a commitment
from the board that the Bank will provide financing on the terms
discussed above, subject to the preparation of a debt service
schedule detailing payment dates and amounts once a dollar figure
for the bond is obtained, and subject to agreement as to the
details of the issue.
I am also enclosing a copy of the floor plan of the main
floor. Plans for the second floor and for the building design
generally are available in our office, but they are hard to copy
due to their large size. Please feel free to contact Stan Ellison
or Andy MacArthur if you wish to see all of the plans.
Finally, I will be out of town for the rest of November. Stan
Ellison of our office will be working on this bond issue. Feel
free to contact him with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Couri

BACKGROUND
Otsego Mayor and City Council
David Licht/Dan Wilson
20 August 1992
Otsego - Economic Development
176.08
As you will recall, as early as last Fall, our office suggested to
the City the need to pursue economic development measures. We
believe that such efforts are essential for the City to be
competitive in the attraction of business and industry. This
mechanism is also a like means to address home extended businesses
in the City. Finally, the City critically needs to expand its tax
base so that the extent and level of public services can be
maintained and expanded and means to fund such efforts can be
sustained.
With the completion of the updated Zoning Ordinance this last
Spring, we felt it an appropriate time to begin active
consideration of economic development matters. We did not,
however, "push" this point on a high priority basis due to the
volume of other matters demanding City Council attention.
With the advent of the new City Hall, and the consideration of its
financing, the need to establish an Economic Development Authority
has, however, surfaced as an immediate priority which is somewhat
out of sequence with a "typical" economic development program
schedule. Needless to say, the City should move ahead and obtain
the benefits which are available and establish an EDA as quickly as
possible. In making this move, however, the perspective of a
"comprehensive" economic development program should not be
overlooked. We are therefore suggesting that the City Council also
direct its attention to an overall program and actively begin to
address the matter.
So as to provide you with a better understanding of an economic
development program, we have provided an outline and summary of an
approach below. This is emphasized as a generalized statement
5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595-9636•Fax. 595-9837
which establishes a course of direction and action. It is based
upon our considerable experience in Buffalo, Delano, Osseo, New
Hope, Lakeville, Little Canada, Oak Park Heights, and others.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM = ORGANIZATIONAL
It is critical that a community fully address and resolve its
organization and approach to economic development at the outset of
such activities. This will serve to "protect" public dollars plus
place the City in a competitive, responsible position. Developer/
investors will shy away from the City should economic development
programs not be defined or if time delays are encountered for
organizational basics. With these considerations in mind, the
following outline and comments are provided.
I. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
A. Type of Development
1. Industrial
2. Commercial
3. Housing
B. Geographic Targeting
C. Identify Strengths for Development
D. Identify Obstacles for Development
A community addressing its economic development potential will
want to first identify what it hopes to achieve through a
series of detailed goals and objectives. It is important for
the community to identify the obstacles that have prevented
development from occurring to date. The community must
identify which obstacles they have some control over and which
ones they don't. The remainder of the plan will address the
community's efforts to overcome specific obstacles to
development.
II. POLICY STATEMENT
A. Community Awareness and Support
B. Clear Policy Statement
It is premature for a community to launch into major policy
issues without first having educated the community at large
and then developing their support. Policy issues on
development should be settled in advanced of seeking
interested developers. A task force or committee may be a
convenient vehicle to achieve community participation.
�a
III. CITY ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
A. Financial Participation
1. Administrative and Promotional Budget
2. Project Participation
a. Tax Increment Financing
b. Special Assessments
B. Risk Sharing
The discussion of how a community chooses to participate in a
project financially and to what degree the City is willing to
assist risk quickly defines its policy toward economic
development. These discussions are important and need to be
conducted at the City Council level.
Tax increment financing has been and will continue to be an
integral financing element in economic development plans
despite the State's efforts to curtail its use. The City
Council will need to be familiar with the valuable financing
tool.
IV. ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
A. Economic Development Authority (EDA)
1. City Council or Community at Large Membership
B. Task Force or Committee
Some communities find that the use of a task force arrangement
is an excellent way to identify individuals willing to make a
long term commitment while providing a vehicle to educate and
build community support. On an initial basis, we would
strongly urge that the Mayor and City Council serve as the
formal EDA. For planning purposes, a task force or commission
should likely include representation from the community at
large. A final structure of an EDA can subsequently be
determined as part of the overall program plan.
V. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
A specific plan designed to implement the goals and objectives
would be established. The plan would be reflective of the
resources that the community is willing to commit to the tasks
identified. The plan would detail specific tasks for specific
groups or individuals.

respect to the EDA: power to (1) remove without cause a
controlling portion of the EDA Board, (2) select, approve, or
