PAUL Memoraedum To: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DATE: �y 17, 1985 (Meeting May 21 , 1985) FROM: Donald G. Dunshee SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING — PRELIMINARY AND UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT MARKETHOUSE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP $900,000 REVENUE BOND ISSUE (NON 876) OFF—SITE RESOLUTION N0. 2461 1. Partnership and Project The Port Authority Commission on November 30, 1982, approved by Resolution No. 2082 the issuance of $1,900,000 in 876 industrial development revenue bonds to finance the acquisition of the first and second floors and basement of the Cardozo Warehouse at Fifth and Broadway for retail and office use. In addition to bond proceeds, a . limited partnership was formed that provided an additional $940,000 in equity for the project. Since the basic finishing was completed in late 1983, the building has not leased as rapidly as originally projected. The lease up situation has changed dramatically in the past 90 days with now more than 90� of the second floor office space, 40� of the first floor and 52� of the basement leased. They currently are in the final stages of negotiations with three other tenants who would be leasing 7,000 Sq. Ft. of space. Because of the slowness in lease up activity, the General Partnership consisting of Leonard P. and Carol Lilyholm, Roger Swardson, and Dr. P. C. Roy, Jr. has been unable to pay all of their past due bills for leasehold improvements and operating expenses. The General Partnership has _reached an agreement with Brian R. Nelson, President of Asset Development Services Inc. to come in as an additional general partner in the project and take over the leasing and operation of the building. Mr. Nelson is the developer of the Union Depot and has recently purchased the Hill Building at 4th and Broadway from the Burlington Northern Railroad plus additional property in Lowertown for development. Under terms of the original agreement, the General Partners have a $600,000 recourse liability on the bond issue and Mr. Nelson will be assuming the first $100,00U of that obligation. • . � � - C���� ��'i t . ' ,, BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING MAY 21, 1985 MARKETHOUSE PAGE 2 2. Financing The proposed $900,000 industrial development revenue bond issue would be done as a non 876 issue which would be privately placed with a bank on a term of 27 1//2 years with a 10 year balloon. The 21 Limited Partners would personally guarantee their proportional share of the issue. This would amount to a personal guarantee of $42,858.00. Proceeds from the bond issue would be as follows: Leasehold Improvements $871 000 � Bond Issue Expense 20,000 Discount 9,000 $900,000 The proceeds from the bond issue will be used to pay approximately $200-250,000 in outstanding bills from previous leasehold improvements and some past due operating expenses. The rest of the proceeds will be used to provide for final leasehold improvements. The Port Authority would receive sinking fund earnings as well as fiscal and administrative fees based on the formula of .42% per million per year for the first ten years, .54X per million per year for the second ten years and .66% per million per year for the final 7 1/2 years of the lease. 3. Underwriting Miller & Schroeder Municipals, Inc. has agreed to underwrite a private placement of the issue. 4. Terms of the Lease The issue would be coterminus with the current lease which terminates December 31, 2012. 5. Recommendation Staff has interviewed members of the current General Partners as well as the new General Partner and reco�ends approval of the above resolution. sjs - � C��'s' 9�i 55 4S Resolution No.a.?ylo� ftE SOLUTI ON OF THE PORT AUZ430RITY OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL WHEREAS, the purpose of Chapter 474, Minnesota Statutes, known as the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Develop- ment Act (hereinafter called "Act") as found ar�d determined by the legislature is to promote the welfare of the state by the active attraction and encouragement and development of economi- cally sound industry and commerce to prevent so far as possible the emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of chronic unemployment and to aid in the develoFxnent of existing areas of blight, marginal land and persistent unemployment; and WHEREAS, factors necessitating the active promotion and development of economically sound industry and commerce are the increasing concentration of population in the metropolitan areas and the rapidly rising increase in the amount and cost of governmental services required to meet the needs of the increased population and the need for development of land use which will provide an adequate tax base to finance these increased costs and access to employment opportunities for such population; and WI�REAS, The� Port Authority has previously issued $1,900,000 of •its industrial development revenue bonds to provide financing to Markethouse Limited Partnership ( the "Coanpany") for the renovation of the basement and first and second floors of the former Cardozo Warehouse ( the "Project") at FiftYi Street and Broadway Street in the City of Saint Paul; and WHEREAS, The Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul (the "Authority") has received from the Company a request that the Authority issue its revenue bonds (which may be in the form of a single note) to finance the completion of the renovation of the Project, the basement, first and second floors of the Cardozo Warehouse, all as is more fully described in the staff report on file; and � � :� � � � � ��_ y�i WHEREAS, the Authority desires to facilitate the selective developnent of the community, to retain and improve its tax base and to help it provide the range of services and �mployment opportunities required by its population, and said Project will assist the City in achieving that objective. The ' cotnpletion of said Project will help to increase the assessed valuation of the City and help maintain a positive relationship between assessed valuation and debt and enhance the image and reputation of the City; and WHEREAS, the Authority has been advised by repre- sentatives of the Canpany that� conventional, commercial f inancing to pay the capital cost of the completion of the Project is availab3.e only on a limited basis and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic feasibility of operating the Project would be significantly reduced, but the Co�pany has also advised this Authority that but for revenue bond financing, and its resulting low borrowing cost, the Project would not have been undertaken; WHEREAS, the Authority, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 474.01, Subdivision 7b did publish a notice, a copy of which with proof of publication is on file in the office of the Authority, of a public hea ring on the proposal of the Company that the Authority finance the completion of the Project hereinbefore described by the issuance of its industrial revenue bonds; and WHEREAS, the Authority did conduct a public hearing pursuant to said notice, at which hearing the recamnendations contained in the Authority' s staff inemorandum to the Co�mnissioners were reviewed, and all persons who appeared at the hearing were given an opportunity to express their views with respect to the proposal. N(7W, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Com�nissioners of the Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota as follows: 1 . On the basis of information available to the Authority it appears, and the Authority hereby finds, that said Project constitutes properties, used or useful in connection with one or more revenue producing enterprises engaged in any business within the meaning of Subdivision la of Section 474.02 of the Act; that the Project furthers the purposes stated in Section 474.01 of the Act and, but for the willingness of the Authority to furnish such financing, the Coanpany would not have undertaken the Project, and that the effect of the Project, if undertaken, will be to encourage the development of economically sound industry and commerce and assist in the 2 � ' ,- � � :� � �y.�� ��� prevention of the emergence of blighted and marginal land, and will help to prevent chronic unemployment, and will help the City to retain and improve its tax base and provide the range of services and eznployment opportunities required by its population, and will help to prevent the movement of talented and educated persons out of the state and to areas within the state where their services may not be as effectively used and will result in more intensive development and use of land within the City and will eventually result in an increase in the City' s tax base; and that it is in the best interests of the port district and the people of the City of Saint Paul and in furtherance of the general plan of development to assist the Company in completing the Project. 2. Subject to the mutual agreement of the Authority, the Company and the purchaser of the revenue bonds as to the details of the lease or other revenue agreement as defined in the Act, and other docLUnents necessary to evidence and effect the financing of the Project ar�d the issuance of the revenue bonds, the issuance of revenue bonds of the Authority (which may be in the form of a single note) in an amount not to exceed approximately $900, 000 (other than such additional revenue bonds as are needed to camplete the Project) is authorized to finance the completion of the Project and the recanmendations of the Authority' s staff, as set forth in the staff inemorandum to the Com�nissioners which was presented to the Commissioners, are incorporated herein by reference and approved. 3 .

The revenue bonds ( including any interim note or notes) and interest thereon shall not con�titute an indebtedness of the Authority or the City of Saint Paul within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation and shall not constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Authority or the City or a charge against their general credit or taxing powers and neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing powers of the Authority or the City is pledged for the payment of the bonds (and interim note or notes) or interest thereon. ?.
