PAUL Memorandum TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DA'f� Dec. 21, 1987 (MEETING DECENBER 22, 1987) r � �� e � FROM: Perry K. Feders�' SUBJECT: SALE OF $1,288,000 TAXABLE GENERAL OBLIGATION NON-TAX SUPPORTED DEVELOPMENT REVENUE NOTE - SERIES 1987-6 RESOLUTION N0. BACKGROUND When the Commission approved the acquisition of Empire Builder Industriai Park, the purchase of the land was funded fran the Port Authority�s property sale and rentai fund. Currently land in the Park has been sold to four projects for a total cost in excess of �838,000. In addition over the past several years the Port Authority has loaned $475,000 from the property sale and rentai and accumulated net revenue funds to five tenants. Due to the high costs of issuance associated with bonding, it is generally not feasible to finance small proJect loans and land sales on that basis. Since the number of requests for small project financings have increased and the availability of tax exempt financing has diminished, it has become necessary to look at other alternatives. During negotiations with our banks to restruc- ture our credit lines, we requested as part of our line the ability to borrow directly from the banks to fund these types of projects. PROPOSED FINANCING We have reviewed ali Port Authority direct financed loans or land sales and have identified nine projects for which we are seeking reimbursement through the issuance of a taxable note to be purchased by the American National Bank of St. Paul . These proJects are as follows: LOANS LAND SALES Catholic Charities Say West Soderberg Benson Investment (Sign Design) SP Terminals 3N (ADDCO) Battery & Tire Warehouse Hiway Credit Union Rivertown Trading Total outstanding princlpal under the loans or amortized cost of the land as of December 31, 1987, is $1 ,288,572.73. The financing will be a term Note for five years based on a 20 year amortiza- tion schedule at the Bank�s prime rate plus I/2�. In addition to current pay- menfis received from the projects, (but subject to any prior liens), the Note will be secured by the Port Authority's Resolution 2775 (general obligation, non-tax supported pledge). ����� BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 22, 1987 $1,288,000 NOTE PAG E 2 The Note will contain a provision for conversion to a fixed rate. The Note wiil be prepayable at any time without penalty except if a fixed rate is in place in which case a formula for determining prepayment will be utilized. The Note may be subject to mandatory prepayment and redemption upon nonpayment of the Note or bankruptcy of the Port Authority. The initial rate for estab- Iishing principal amortization will be at 10� with payments totaling $12,429.48. Current receipts from the proJects equai $14,716.99. To avoid negative amortization if interest rates increase substantiaily, minimum monthly payments wiil be at least equai to actual interest due. �ENEFITS OF FINANCING By reimbursing itself, the Port Authority will be abie to repienish its property sale and rental and accumulated net revenue fundS to finance future development activities and pay for project maintenance costs. In addition the Port Authority will receive the benefit of interest earnings on the Note proceeds untii they are expended for other corporate purposes of the Port Authority. Staff recommends approval of the above Resol ution. sjs . /-� �� (� , 514AA RESOLUTION NO.
