Special Meeting Ju1y 9, 1979
FROM: D.G. Dunshee
SUBJECT: BATTERY & TIRE WAREHOUSE INC.
$620,000 REVENUE BOND ISSUE
RESOLUTION N0. 1509 - PUBLIC SALE HEARING
RESOLUTION N0. 1507 - PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT
1 . THE COMPANY
Battery & Tire Warehouse Inc. began operations in St. Paul in 1947 and
has been headquartered here since that time at various locations. In
1958 they purchased a multi-story building at 909 Selby Avenue. The
company has now outgrown that facility and needs to find a new location
in St. Paui in order to retain their headquarters in the city.
The company started as a supplier of batteries to service stations,
garages, construction companies, industrial accounts, and others through-
� out Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Dakotas. They have expanded
their product line from batteries to include tires, cables, terminals,
brakes, and other related products. In the year ending April 30, 1978,
the company had annual sales in excess of $5,000,000 and a net worth
of $711 ,003.
2. THE PROJECT
The company proposes to purchase from McGill/Jensen Inc. two buildings
containing 36,662 square feet and 23,520 square feet situated on a site
containing 114,650 square feet on North Fairview Avenue. This parcel
has rail trackage and contains 2.63 acres. These buildings were not
part of the original project which was partially financed by a Port
Authority bond issue in 1978 for McGill/Jensen.
In addition to the acquisition of the buildings for $450,000, the
company proposes to finish a 3,200 square foot office area on the second
floor of the large building and remodel a portion of the first floor
for City desk and separate office. In addition to that space, the
company will be installing heaters, weather stripping, replacing truck
doors, and closing five other truck doors, and making other repairs
necessary to use the facility. These repairs are estimated to cost
an additional $100,000. The repairs are estimated to cost an additional
$1Q0,000. Mr. Robert Thees has agreed to deposit $25,000 equity in the
construction fund at bond closing for improvements to the building.
Board of Commissioners �
July 6, 1979
Page -2-
Under amendments to Chapter 474, approved by the Minnesota Legislature
this spring, the Port Authority published notice in the Lega1 Ledger
and the St. Paul Dispatch-Pioneer Press on June 9 and 11 respectively
that the proposed project would be considered by the Port Authority
Commission on Tuesday, June 26. The public hearing was held on the
26th, which meets the requirements of the State statute. If the project
is approved by the Commission today, a formal application will be sub-
mitted to the Commissioner of Securities before the bond issue can be
closed.
On May 18, 1979, the Port Authority notified District 11 of the
proposed project. As of today the Port Authority has received no
written or oral comnunication regarding the project.
The company estimates they will be able to add an additional five
persons to their present employment of 40 when the project is completed.
Mr. Robert Thees, President of Battery & Tire Warehouse, has indicated
he wishes to remain headquartered in St. Paul and this is the only
building presently available in the city that meets his space require-
ments, and if he is unable to lease this facility, he will consider
� other buildings that he has looked at outside of the city of St. Paul ,
3. FINANCING
The proposed financing of the facility would be done under Resolution
No. 876. Proceeds from the bond issue would be as follows:
Construction $522,450
Bond Issue Expense 15,000
Capitalized Interest - 3 Months 10,850
Debt Service Reserve 53,100
Discount 18,600
TOTAL $620,000
In addition to the monthly rent, the company will pay a fiscal and
administrative fee as follows:
First 10 years $3Q0 per month or $3,600 per year
Second 10 years 4Q0 per month or 4,800 per year
Final 10 years 500 per month or 6,000 per year
4. UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
Mi11er & Schroeder Municipals has agreed to underwrite a bond issue for
a 30-year term commencing September 1 , 1979 and terminating August 31 ,
2009. The interest rate for the bond issue will be set ten days prior
to closing.

5. TERMS OF THE LEASE
The proposed agreement is for a period of 30 years and provides an
option to purchase the building at the end of the lease for 10� of
the bond issue cost. The Port Authority will receive the following
income over the term of the lease:
Option to Purchase $ 62,000
Fiscal and Administrative Fee 144,000
Debt Service Reserve Earnings - 8� 132,600
Sinking Fund Earnings 31 ,620
TOTAL $370,220
Mr. Robert Thees, who has a personal net worth of $936,000 as of
Apri1 30, 1979, has agreed to personally guarantee the bond issue.
In Ju1y 1978, Mr. Howard Lawrence, MAI, appraised the building and
established a market value of the land and building at $460,OOQ, He .
has reviewed the proposed improvements to the building and estimates
that the new value following completion of the improvements will be
$570,000, Based on Mr. Lawrence's market value appraisal of $570,000
� and the cash deposited in the debt service reserve of $53,100, this
exceeds the amount of bonds proposed to be issued.
The per square foot debt service on the building is approximately 90Q
per square foot. Mr. Lawrence, in his appraisal , estimated that the
market value rental for space in the building would be $90,000, or approximately
$40,000 more than the debt service. After expenses and taxes are deducted
from the estimated gross rental , there would be a surplus in the rental
account above and beyand bond issue debt service.
6. RECON,PIENDATIONS
Staff has reviewed the project in detail , the financial statements
of the company, and the appraisal of the property, and recommends
approval of Resolution No. 1507 authorizing the issuance of bonds
in the amount of �o20,Gu�.

THE .PORT AUTHORITY 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 anc7 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 o.f blighted and marginal lands and areas of
chronic unemployme�t 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 o�
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 Battery & Tire Warehouse,
Inc. , a Minnesota corporation (hereinafter referred to as
