ed costs and access to employment opportunities for such popu-
lation; and

��`: RE: DOERFLER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY �
LOWRY HOTEL PROJECT
$3,500,00� REVENUE BOND ISSUE .
::::ACTION REQUESTED: �
In accordance with Laws of Minnesota 1976, Chapter 234, it is requested that the
City Council 6y Resolution, a draft copy of which is attached hereto, approve the
issuance of up to $3,500,000 in revenue bonds for the remodeling of the Lowry Hotel
project. At this time it would appear that the bond issue would be for $3,260,000.
It is requested that approval be granted on up to $3,500,000 because until the time
of closing the actual interest rate and the effects on the soft casts which may be
caused by variances in the calculated rate may require a bond issue larger than
$3,260,000. The construction fund, however; will not be increased over $2,650,000.
Any costs above this amount required to complete the project will be paid for by the
``:tenant. It is requested that processing of this application for approval be expedited
,:. because of the requirements by Robert Short that the sale of the property be closed
: '�;not later than May 25, 1977:
�PURP�SE AND RATIONAL� FOR THIS ACTION: � :
'�-The Lowry Hotel presents an opportunity to create additional downtown housing at a -
�: relatively 1ow cost per unit. . The City of St. Paul and its various agencies and
departments have been endeavoring to create additional downtown housing to spur other �
'' developments for some time, and this project will contribute to population growth in
the downtown area. It is desirable to make this financing availabie to the Virgil
Doerfler Construction Company because of the need to increase the number of residential
units in downtown St. Paul and because the developer has an excellent track record,
has pledged a substantial net worth to the Authority as- a condition of issuing the
bonds, and has further agreed to provide a mortgage and security interest in various
properties to provide additional guarantees.

Attached hereto is an operating cost projection. These projections indicate
a potential gross income of $557,360 when fully occupied, producing a cash
flow of $346,915. Based upon our discussions �vith various representatives
of local financial institutions who have previou�ly done business v�ith Mr.
Doerfler, it is staff's oainion that he is a capable and financially success-
ful developer, and with the rents to be paid for at least a 3-year period by
the City of St. Paul feel confident that this project is a feasible one. The _
costs of remodeling are attached herz in a construction recap provided by
the Dosrfier Company. There will be added to the $1 ,500,000 shown a�
additional $100,000 for efficiency kitchens in 99 of the efficiency units
bringing the remodeling costs �o approximately $1 ,600,000.
Mr. Doerfler, in accordance with the requirements of the Port Authority that
all funds be on hand at th� bond closing, has agreed to provide $Z00,000 in
equity on the front end that will incorporate expenditures to date covering
the earnest money contract and preliminary work on plans and specifications.
There wili be an additional $133,000 in cash or other pre-bond closing
expenditures.
t�1r. Doerfler's financial statement reflects substantial net worth in properties
located primarily in the St. Paul area. The statements provided by the company
are attached and indicate the assets and liabilities and project a net wortn
at $3,053,950. Doerfler's personal net worth is shown at $5,492,200.
In negotiations with the prospective tenant, an agreement has been reached
whereby Mr. Doerfler will give the Port Authority a security interest on the
three properties listed below:
1 . 1905 Wilson Ave. (41 units) - equity $253,000
2. 1835 Wilson Ave. (50 units) - equity 425,000
3. 1871 Wilson Ave. (50 units) - 2quity 395,000
TOTAL $1 ,073,000
This security interest will be subject to release with the consent of the
Board of Corr�nnissioners of the Port Authority when the net income from
ooerati�ns of the facility before d�bt service is equal to the maximum annual
debt service requirement to service the bond issue debt.
In addition to this security interest, tne proposed agreement with Vfrgil
Doerfler Construction Company, Incorporated wi11 be p�rsonally guaranteed
for tne duration of the bond issue by Virgil Doerfler. We attach hereto
the financial data fiurnished by Virgi] Doerfler for your review. This
contains assets and liabilities of Virgil Doerfler personally as well as
assets and liabilities of Doerfler Construction Company, Incorporated, of
which Virgil Doerfler is the principal stock holder.

A Notice of Sale has been published in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
Chapter 458, and it is recomme�ded that the sale price when the bonds are
amortized at t�e end of the 25-year term be $1 .00.
As is customary in off-site projects requiring staff inspections to satisfy
the indenture with the bond holders, an additional r�r�tal charge of .02% of
the face amount of the bond issue will be charged monthly. This will equal
. $7,824 annually. The property will remain on the tax rolls and upon completion
are estimated at more than double those presently being collected.
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary agreement authorized und.er
Resolution No. 1174 and sale of the property under the terms outlined above.

and development of econom�cally 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 Iand use
which will provide an adequate tax base to finance these increas-
ed costs and access to employment opportunities for such popu-
lation; and
WHEREAS , The Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul
(the "Authority") has received from the Doerfler Construction
Company, Incorporated (hereinafter referred to as "Company") a
request that the Authority issue its revenue bonds (which may be
in the form of a single note) to finance the acquisition and
renovation of a building for use as a residential apartment
facility and as a commercial and office facility (herein-
after called the "Project") 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 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
Project will assist the City in achieving that objective.. Said
Project will help to increase the assessed �Taluation of the City
and help maintain a positive relationship between assessed valua-
tion and debt and enhance the image and reputation of the City;
and
� , ,
�, �
«iEREAS , the Project to be financed by revenue bonds
will result in the employment of appro�imately eighty persons
in the new facilities; and
WHEREAS , the Authority has been advised by representa-
tives 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 signi-
ficantly reduced, but the Company has also advised this Author-
ity that with the aid of revenue bond financing, and its re-
sulting low borrowing cost, the Project is economically more
feasible.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLV�D by the Commissioners
of the Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota as
<�
" follows : �
- l. 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 availability of the financing under the
Act and willingness of the Authority to furnish such financing
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 economica�.ly sound
industry and commerce and assist in the 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 _ _
employment 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.
2. Subject to the mutual agreement of the Authori�:y,
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 documents necessary to evidence and effect �
the financing of the Project and the issuance of the revenue
bonds, the Project is hereby approved and authorized and. the
issuance of revenue bonds of the Authority (which may be in the
form of a single note) in an amount not to exceed $3,500 ,000
(other than such additional revenue bonds as are needed to
complete the Project) is authorized to finance the costs of the
Project.

It is the purpose of said Agreement to evidence the commitment of
the parties and their intention with respect to the proposed
Project in order that the Company may proceed without delay

trial revenue bonds to finance the entire cost of the Project
upon agreement being reached as to the ultimate details of the
Project and its financing. Said Agreement is hereby approved,

authorized and directed to execute said Agreement. Upon exe-
cution of the Agreement by the Company, the staff of the Author-

Company so as to resolve the remaining issues necessary to the
preparation of the lease or other revenue agreement and other
documents necessary to the adoption by the Authority of its final �
bond resolutiori and the issuance and delivery of the bonds.

SUBJECT: �,qDISSON HOTEL PARKING RAMP
FRELIMINARY AGREEMENT
RESOLUTION N0. 1175
Bond counsel has prepared a preliminary agreement in the customary form
for execution by the Port Authority and the Radisson Hotel Corporation
which will , permit the two parties to proceed to bring the project to
fruition.
The agreement, the execution of which would be authorized by Resolution
No. 1175 , sets up the procedural means of leasing the facility to the
Radisson with a sublease to the City of St. Paul for ultimate operations
by either the Radisson or other parking garage operators.
To proceed with the project it will be necessary that staff be author�ized
to employ National Planning, Inc. to update the feasibility study performed
for the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in 1975. This feasibility study
would review the plans as they are prepared as well as the estimates from
the architects and project the occupancy and the income for the term of
the bonds. Preliminary discussions have been held with National Planning,
Inc. of Detroit, and it is indicated that the cost will be between $5,000
and $10,000 depending upon the scope of the assignment. It will be
necessary to advance these funds as well as bond counsel fees prior to the
sale of bonds, and it is recommended that the normal deferred bond issue
account be established so that these funds are reimbursed from the bond
proceeds.
We have met with Radisson and HRA officials and are endeavoring to find
a way to build a 5-bay ramp rather than a 4-bay ramp which would result i�
approximately 110 more spaces. The larger ramp appears to make it possible
from preliminary bond amor�ization projections and preliminary construction
estimates to have a viable project with little or no short fall and a good
potential for income. The Oxford Development project considerably enhances
the feasibility. We have received preliminary projections from Miller &
Schroeder but cannot determine the actual underwriting until a feasibility
update is completed and a rating is negotiated with Standard & Poors.

� The schedule calls for a construction cost estimate by Ju1y 1 and working
drawings by Se�tember 1 . It would appear that bonds could be sold as early
as July or August, and if every�hing goes we11 construction could commence -
shortty thereafter. The architect for Radisson Hotel Corporation is
, Bergstedt, 4�ahlberg, Berquist, Rohkohl Inc. It wi11 be necessary once
construction on the parking ramp starts for the Port A!athority to employ a
structural engineer to monitor on a daily basis the costs attributable to the
parking ramp and payable by the Port Authority. There will be dual construc-
tion activity during the constructi�n period and we recorr�nend that we be
authorized to make arrangements with the Port Authority consulting engineers,
Toltz, King, Duvall , Anderson & Assoc. , for. this service.
We recommend that the Commission auth�rize the foilowing:
1 . Preliminary legal and bond issue expens�s. -
2. Feasibility update.
3. Engineering supervision negotiations.
4. Application to acquire HRA land.
5. Preparation of necessary documentatinn.

RESOLUTION OF
THE PORT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL . �
x
�� WHEREAS , the purpose of Chapters 458 and 474, Minne-
sota Statutes, . (hereinafter called "Act"') as found and deter-
mined by the legislature is to promote .the welfare of the state
by the active attraction and encouragement and development of
economically sound industry and commerce to prevent so far as
possible the emergence of blighted and margina'!. lands and areas
of chronic unemployment and to aid in the development of exist-
ing 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 metiopolitan
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 increas- -
ed costs and access to employment opportunities for such popu--
lation; and
WHEREAS, The Port Authority of the City of Saint Paul
(the "Authority") has received from Radisson Hote1 Corporation
(hereinafter referred to as "Company") a�request �that the Author-
ity issue its revenue bonds to finance the acquisition, in- �
stallation and construction of a public parking facility (here- �
inafter called the "Project") to be leased by the Company from� :
the Authority and simu].taneously subieased to the Ca.ty, all as
is more fully descri.bed in the staff report on file; and .
WHEREAS , sai,d public parking facility is deemed de-
sirable to help meet existi.ng and projected demands for publa.c
parking tacilities in the City of St. Paul in a development
distri.ct to be establ�.shed by the Authority under the provisions
of Minnesota Statutes, Section 458.191, Subdivision l; and
r f.. . .
_ •
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
Project will assist the City in achieving that objective. Said
Project will help to increase the assessed valuation of the City
and help maintain a positive relationship between asses�sed valua-
tion and debt and enhance the image and reputation of the City;
and
WHEREAS, Company has represented that in conjunction
with the construction of the Pr.oject, Company will construct
a hotel to be located on top of the public parking facility;
and �
WHEREAS, the Project to be financed by revenue bonds �
„ will result in the employment of additional persons in �the new
_ � facilities; and
� NOW, THEP.EFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Commissi�ners .
of the Port Authority of the City of Saint Pau1, Minnesota as .
follows:
1. On the basis of information available to the

__ . Project and hotel facilities constitute properties, used or
useful in connection with one or more revenue producing enter-
prises engaged in any business within the meaning of Subdivision
1 of Section 474.02 of the Act; that the availability of the .
financing under the Act and willingness of the Authority to
furnish such financing will be a substantial inducement to the
Company to undertake the Project and said hotel .facilities, and _
that the effect of the Project, if undertaken, will be to help
meet existing and projected demands for public parking facili- �
ties in the City, encourage the development of economically
sound industry and commerce and assist in the pr�:vention of the
emergence of blighted and marginal land, and wi7.1 help to
prevent chronic unemployment, and will help the City to retain
and improve �.ts tax base and provide the range of services and
employment 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
E services may not be as effectively used and will result in more
intensive development and use of land within the City will
eventually result in an increase in the City's tax base._
2. Subject to the mutual agreement of the AutiZOrity,
the Company, the �City and the purchaser of the revenue bonds as.
to the detai],s of the lease and sublease, and other documents

FROM: E, A. rau�

SUBJECf: RqDISSON HOTEL PARKING RAMP
PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT
RESOLUTION N0. 1175
Bond counsel has prepared a preliminary agreement in the customary form
for execution by the Port Authority and the Radisson Hotel Corporation
which will . permit the two parties to proceed to bring the project to
fruition.
The agreement, the execution of which would be authorized by Resolution
No. 1175 , sets up the procedural means of leasing the facility to the
Radisson with a sublease to the City of St. Paul for ultimate operations
by either the Radisson or other parking garage operators.
To proceed with the project it will be necessary that staff be authorized
to employ National Planning, Inc. to update the feasibility study performed
for the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in 1975. This feasibility study
would review the plans as they are prepared as well as the estimates from
the architects and project the occupancy and the income for the term of
the bonds. Preliminary discussions have been held with National Planning,
Ir�c. of Detroit, and it is indicated that the cost wi11 be between $5,000
and $10,000 depending upon the scope of the assignment. It will be
necessary to advance these funds as well as bond counsel fees prior to the
sale of bo�ds, and it is recorr�nended that the normal deferred bond issue
account be established so that these funds are reimbursed from the bond
proceeds.
We have met with Radisson and HRA officials and are endeavoring to find
a way to build a 5-bay ramp rather than a 4-bay ramp which would result in
approximately 110 more spaces. The larger ramp appears to make it possible
from preliminary bond amortization projections and preliminary construction
estimates to have a viable project with little or no short fall and a good
potential for income. The Oxford Development project considerably enhances
the feasibility. We have received preliminary projections from Miller &
Schroeder but cannot determine the actual underwriting until a feasibility
update is completed and a rating is negotiated with Standard & Poors.

� The schedule calls for a construction cost estimate by July 1 and working
drawings by September 1 . It would appear that bonds could be sold as early
as July or August, an� if �veryiching goes well construction could cor�nence
shortly th�reafter. The architect for Radisson Hotel Corporation is
Bergstedt, Wahlberg, Berquist, Rohkohl Inc. It will be necessary once
construction on the parking ramp starts for the Port Authority to employ a
structural engineer to monitor on a daily basis the costs attributable to the
parking ramp and payable by the Port Authority. There will be dual construc-
tion activity during the construction period and we recorr�nend that we be
authorized to make arrangements with the Port Authority consulting engineers,
Tol�tz, King, Duvall , Anderson & Assoc. , for. this service.
We recommend that the Commission authorize the following:
i . Preliminary legal and bond issue expenses.
2. Feasibility update.
3. Engineering supervision negotiations.
4. Application to acquire HRA land.
5. Preparation of necessary documentation.
6. Approval of Resolution No. 11�75 and the preliminary agreement.
