RESOLUTION OF
THE PORT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL
WHEREAS, the purpose of Chapter 474, Minnesota
Statutes, knawn as the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Develop-
ment Act (hereinafter called "Act") as found and determined by
the legislature is to promote the welfare of the state by the
active attraction and encou�agement and development of economi-
cally sound industry and comcnerce to prevent so far as possible
the emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of
chronic unemployment and to aid in the development of existing
areas of blight, marginal land and persistent unemployment; and
WHEREAS, factors necessitating the active promotion
and develop�ment of economically sound indust=y 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
WHEREAS, The Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul
(the "Authority") has received from Old Home Foods, Inc.
(hereinafter referred to as "Company" ) a request that the
A�uthority issue its revenue bonds (in the form of a single
note) to finance the acquisition, installation and construction
of a cooler addition and a truck and garage repair facility
(hereinafter collectively called the "Project") related to
facilities currently operated by the Company at 370 University
Avenue in the City of St. Paul, all as is more fully described
in the staff report on file; and
WHEREAS, the Authority desires to facilitate the
selective development of the canmunity, to retain and improve
its tax base and to help it provide the range of services and
employment opportunities required by its population, and said

` - �a �/
� -
City and help maintain a positive relationship �etween assessed
_ valuation and debt and enhance the image and reputation of the
. City; and
WHEREAS, the Project to be financed by revenue bonds
will result in substantial employment opportunities in the
Project;
WHEREAS, the Authority has been advised by repre-
sentatives of the Company that conventional, commercial
financing to pay the capital cost of the Project is available
only on a limited basis and at such high costs of borrawing
that the economic feasibility of operating the Project would be
significantly reduced, but the Company has also advised this
Authority that but for the aid of revenue bond financing, and
its resulting low borrowing cost, the Project would not be
undertaken;
WHEREP,S, American National Bank & Trust Company (the
"Bank") has made a proposal in an agreetaent (the "Commitment" )
relating to the purchase of the revenue bonds to be issued to
finance the Project;

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 recommendations

Co�aissioners were reviewed, and all persons who appeared at
the hearing were given an opportunity to express their views

and improve its taa base and provide the range of services and
employment opportunities required by its population, and will
