RESOLUTION OF
THE PORT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL
WHEREAS, the purpose of Chapter 474, P�iinnesota
Statutes, known as the riinnesota Municipal Industrial Develop-
ment Act (hereinafter called "Act" ) as found and dete�-mined 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 development 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 �.he 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 Lavearl' s Incorporated
d/b/a Capp Towers Hotel (hereinafter referred to as "Company" )
a request that the Authority issue its revenue bonds to finance
the acquisition and renovation of existing Capp Towers Motel
(hereinafter collectiv�ly called the "Project" ) in the City of
St. Paul as part of the redevelopment of t'ne block in the City
of St. Paul bounded by 9th, Cedar, lOth and Minnesota Streets,
all as is more fully described in the staff report on file; and
WHEREAS, the Authority desires to facilitate the
selective development of the community, 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

� � R�
�' . �*u'��.����,k-
WHEREAS, the Project to be financed Uy revenue bonds
will result in substantial employment opportunities in the
Project and will further result in increased usage of the "City
Walk" parking ramp previously financed through the issuance of
revenue bonds by the Authority;
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 borrowing
that the economic feasibility of operating the Project would be
significantly reduced, but the Company has also advised this
Authority that with the aid of revenue bond financing, and its
resulting low borrowing cost, the Project is economically more
feasible;
WHEREAS, Miller & Schroeder Municipals, Inc. (the
"Underwriter" ) has made a proposal in an agreement (the
"Underwriting Agreement" ) relating to the purchase of the
revenue bonds to be issued to finance the Project;
WHEREAS, the Authority, pursuant to Minnesota

that the Project furthers the purposes stated in Section 474.01
of the Act, that .the availability of t'ne financing under the

will be a substantial inducement to the Company to undertake
the Project, and that the effect of the Project, if undertaken,
will be to encourage the development of economically sound
industry and conunerce and assist in the prevention of the

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

RESOLUTION N0. 2059
1 . THE DEVELOPMENT
The Central Presbyterian Church is the originator of a plan to completely
redevelop the block bounded by 9th, Cedar, lOth, and Minnesota Streets ,
currently containing the Hanover building, the Central Presbyterian
Church, the Church of St. Louis,� and the Capp Towers Motel . The development
plans incorporate the acquisition of the Capp Towers Motel and the sale
to Earl Scott, the construction of an office building called Association
Center Building, development of a common athletic facility in conjunction
with the Capp Towers, and a proposed residential condominium deve1opment
and a high rise residential tower and other amenities, such as a day
care center and a sufficient amount of open space to create a park-
1 i ke atmosphere.
2. THE CAPP TOWERS
The Capp Towers has been owned by Martin Capp and is currently under
option to Earl Scott, who has operated the mote1 and the restaurant
facilities which he has owned directly for a number of years. Mr. Scott
is an experienced hotel man and has two sons also experienced in the
hotel operation who are workinq with him in this facility.
3. FINANCING
Subsequent to preparation of the initial memorandum on October 15,
additional negetiations instituted by staff with Martin Capp have
reduced the purchase price of the hotel from $2.5 million to $2.25 million.
Therefore, it is proposed �hat the Port Authority finance this project
and the remodeling of the restaurant faci1ities by the issuance of a bond
issue equal to $2,885,000 comprised as follows :
Acquisition $2;250,000
Construction 200,000
Debt Service Reserve 321 ,425
Expenses 27,025
Underwriting 86,550
TOTAL $2,885,000
•r •
Board of Commissioners

The Port Authority will recieve fiscal and administrative fees as follows :
$1 ,009,75 per month, or $12,117.00 per year, for the first 10 years ;
$1 ,2g8.25 per month, or $15 579.00 per year, for the second 10 years; and
$1 ,586.75 per month, or $19,041 .00 per year, for the final 10 years. In
addition, the Port Authority will also receive interest on the debt
service reserve fund.
The facility has a current appraisPd value by William Muske of
$2,900,000. Negotiations with Mr. Scott have resulted in an aareement
whereby he will provide equity in the form of a First hlortqage on a 5.05
acre parcel of land at Highway 110 and Babcock Trail which he owns free
and clear. This property was appraised by William Muske at $275,000.
In addition, Mr. Scott will assiqn the value of the equipment lease to
the debt that he currently owns in the Capp Towers restaurants.
The agreement will provide that as any parcels of the property in Dakota
County are sold to the Highway Department or others, the proceeds of those
sales will be paid directly to the Port Authority and an escrow account
will be established to equal the equity requirement until such time as
an amount equal to the equity has been retired from the bond issue.
Therefore, the transaction from a value and a coverage standpoint would
reflect the following figures :
Bond issue $2,885,000
Less Land ( 275,000)
Less Equipment Equity ( 150,000)
Less Debt Service Reserve ( 321 ,425)
TOTAL $2,138,575
The Capp Towers is an existing 98-room motel that has operated successfully
for many years and its cash flow and pro forma attached hereto indicat?
that the project is feasible and that the debt to income ratio makes the
project viable.
In addition to the equity requirement, the debt service will be personally
guaranteed by Earl and Lave;�ne Scott.
Other developments in this block that have oc�urred recently which are
related to the overall facility is the acquisition by the Century Captial
Corporation of Houston, Texas of the Hanover building, which is currently
undergoing extensive remodelinq and rehabilitation. The cc�mbined projects
wi11 create skyway connections to downtown and will permit ultimate skyway
connections to North Wabasha Street. In the plan of development the current
parking areas used by Capp Towers wi11 be eliminated for construction.
The Port Authority owns the 500 car City Walk Parking Ramp which will become
the garage for the hote1 as well as the additional office space to be
built. The current proforma on the parking ramp at City Walk would
indicate that the Port Authority will be subsidizing that facility in an
amount in excess of $200,000 annua1ly until other facilities commencing using
the parking ramp.

3. UNDERW RITING
41e have obtained an underwriting agreement from Miller and Schroeder
Municipals a�d it is proposed that the facility be 1eased for 30 years
with the interest rate to be determined at bond sale. It would appear
at this point with an expedited closing the interest rate would be 10-1 /2%
or less.
4. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2058 and 2059 which approve
the prelimi��ary and underwriting agreements and the sale of land.

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 development of economically sound industxy and commerce are
the increasing concentration of population in the metropolitan
areas and the rapidly rising increase in the amount and cost of

- which will provide an adeq�:ate tax base to finance these
inereased costs and access to employment opportunities for such
