CITY OF SAINT PAUL
INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 19, 1981 RECEIVED
T0: Jim Nart ��v 1 9�q��
FROR�: Jim Bellus �
� Cii"Y AtTURNEY
SUBJECT: Services Contract--Brig�s and �lorgan
Implications of 1981 Tax Act
As I indicated to you on the telephone, I had previously discussed
this issue with Ed Starr and felt that I had his concurrence to
proceed with a contract. I do feel that there are some unusual
circumstances in this case that require assistance from Briggs & Morgan
in the form of over-th�-shoulder assistance in several areas :
1. The 1981 Tax Act presents a possible opportunity to the
city in that ��e miqht be able to use ne�� leasinc� provisions
to ultir�ately build city infrastructure at reduced costs
to the city. This is a newly developing area of expertise
where Brig�s & �lorgan's expertise in the areas of leasino/
1981 Tax Act and as a bond counsel would be extremely useful
in developinn this new proqram.
2. It is obvious that individual developr�ent projects in the
cit,y Hiill be greatly impacted by neU� tax laws. The financial
structure of every major development project in the city and,
therefore, the degree to which public financina assistance is
necessary can only be understood in light of new avenues
opened by the 1981 Tax Act.
I hope that this information is satisfactory. Let me know if you have
any concerns.
