MINNEAPOLIS/SAINT PAUL
2002 SINGLE FAMILY JOINT BOARD PROGRAM
The City of Minneapolis, Mimiesota ("Minneapolis"), the Minneapolis Community
Development Agency (the "Agency"), the CiTy of Saint Paul, Minnesota ("Saint Paul") and the
Housing andRedevelopmentAuthoriTy ofthe Cityof SaintPaul, Minnesota (the "Authority"), acting
individually or jointly through the Minneapolis/Saint Paul Housing Finance Board (the "Joint
Board") (all together, the "Issuers") propose to issue mortgage credit certificates ("MCCs") under
Section 25 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with regulations
promulgated thereunder, the "Code"), or new money mortgage revenue bonds and certain mortgage
revenue refunding bonds under Section 143 of the Code in one or more series, in either case to
finance the single family housing program described herein (the "Program") pursuant to authority
confened by Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 462C, 462A, 469 and 474A, all as amended, (and any
other general or special law authority for the issuance of obligations to finance a single family
housing program or development) (all together, the "Act"). Any action specified herein to be made
by the "Tssuers" may be made by one or more of them acting in concert or individually.
In creating this Program, the Issuers find and determine:
■ that the preservation of the quality of life in Minneapolis and Saint Paul (the "Cifies") is
dependent upon maintaining an adequate, decent, safe and sanitary housing stock;
■ that maintaining such housing stock is a public purpose and will benefit the residents of
the Cities;
■ that a need exists within the Cities to provide additional affordable owner-occupied
housing for low and moderate income persons and families and for other persons and
families to the extent necessary to promote economic integration as provided in the Act; and
■ that a need exists for mortgage credit to be made available for both existing and new
owner-occupied housing, for rehabilitation of existing single family housing and far home
improvements.
To meet such needs, the Issuers intend to issue one ar more series of single family mortgage
revenue bonds and single family mortgage revenue refunding bonds ("Bonds") to cause the
origination ofmortgage loans to finance the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation or improvement
of single family housing in the Cifies (or either of them). In addition to or in lieu of issuing Bonds,
the Issuers (or any one or more of them) may undertake a MCC program to issue MCCs to
mortgagors who obtain mortgage loans to finance the purchase, conshuction, rehabilitation or
improvement of single family housing in the Cities (or either of them). The Issuers may issue Bonds,
or will elect not to issue bonds in favor of MCCs, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately
(a) $40,5�8,000 for Minneapolis and $25,369,000 for SaintPaul, representing certain carried forward
2153805v1
Ol�l'
allocarion and 2002 entitlement bond allocation of Minneapolis and Saint Paul; (b) an amount up
to $65,000,000 to refund outstanding mortgage revenue bonds and to recycle refund prepayments
and repayments of certain outstauding bonds; and (c) such principal amount of taxable bonds as may
be necessary or convenient to fiirther the purposes of this Program.
Mortgage loans fmanced through the issuance of the Bonds and those in connection with
which the MCCs will be issued, will be subject to the following terms (or, for Bonds as to which
these requirements do not apply as a matter of law, to such other terms approved by the Board):
purchase price - the maximum purchase price for fmanced homes shall not exceed
the lesser of (a) 90% (ll0% in "targeted areas" or areas treated as tazgeted areas) of the
applicable "average area purchase price" determined by the United States Deparhnent of the
Treasury or by the Issuers on the basis of more complete information, or (b) 3 times the
applicable income limit for the Program imposed by Minnesota law (except that an certain
areas the purchase price shall not exceed 4 times the applicable income limit to the extent
consistent with applicable federal law);
income limits - the m�imum income of the mortgagors sha11 be the lower of (a) the
income restrictions imposed by federa] t� law or (b) the income restrictions imposed by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 462C.03, Subd. 2, including the restriction of Subd. 7 that for
the first six months of the Program, 50% of the money available to make mortgage loans or
the "non-issued bond amount" of MCCs must be reserved for persons and families with
adjusted incomes not greater than 90% ofthe general Program income limits. Income limits
under Section 462C.03, Subd. 2 sha11 be adjusted for family size by deducting $1,000 per
adult and $1,200 per child in the family.
In connection with this Program:

mortgage revenue bonds, any fmancial institutions described in Section 462C.03,

and mortgage lenders which are FIIt1/VA, or FNMA/FHLMC approved sellers of
mortgage loans and aze reasonably acceptable to any master servicer acting onbehalf
of the Issuers, will be eligible for consideration for origination of such loans; the

lenders are not willing to participate for tk�e consideration offered; the Agency and
the Authority shall be eligible for consideration for origination of loans;

part, at any time during the calendar year in which the election was made as permitted by

Regulations. The resulting unused entitlement allocation may be used to issue bonds for
single family housing or other authorized purposes;

oa--t'lo
(xi) the Bonds, if issued, may be issued in one or more series tuned for sale
consistent with the needs of the Cities in 2Q02, or, if any bond allocation is carried forwazd,
in 2003;
(�i) refinancing of e�sting indebtedness will be pernutted only where the
mortgage loan also finances substantial "rehabilitation" as that term is defined under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 462C.01 and Section 462C.03, Subd. 11 and under Section 143
of the Code;
(xiii) to the extent required by the Act, during the first ten (10) months of the

MINNEAPOLIS/SAINT PAUL
2002 SINGLE FAMILY JOINT BOARD PROGRAM
The City of Minneapolis, Mimiesota ("Minneapolis"), the Minneapolis Community
Development Agency (the "Agency"), the CiTy of Saint Paul, Minnesota ("Saint Paul") and the
Housing andRedevelopmentAuthoriTy ofthe Cityof SaintPaul, Minnesota (the "Authority"), acting
individually or jointly through the Minneapolis/Saint Paul Housing Finance Board (the "Joint
Board") (all together, the "Issuers") propose to issue mortgage credit certificates ("MCCs") under
Section 25 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with regulations
promulgated thereunder, the "Code"), or new money mortgage revenue bonds and certain mortgage
revenue refunding bonds under Section 143 of the Code in one or more series, in either case to
finance the single family housing program described herein (the "Program") pursuant to authority
confened by Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 462C, 462A, 469 and 474A, all as amended, (and any
other general or special law authority for the issuance of obligations to finance a single family
housing program or development) (all together, the "Act"). Any action specified herein to be made
by the "Tssuers" may be made by one or more of them acting in concert or individually.
In creating this Program, the Issuers find and determine:
■ that the preservation of the quality of life in Minneapolis and Saint Paul (the "Cifies") is
dependent upon maintaining an adequate, decent, safe and sanitary housing stock;
■ that maintaining such housing stock is a public purpose and will benefit the residents of
the Cities;
■ that a need exists within the Cities to provide additional affordable owner-occupied
housing for low and moderate income persons and families and for other persons and
families to the extent necessary to promote economic integration as provided in the Act; and
■ that a need exists for mortgage credit to be made available for both existing and new
owner-occupied housing, for rehabilitation of existing single family housing and far home
improvements.
To meet such needs, the Issuers intend to issue one ar more series of single family mortgage
revenue bonds and single family mortgage revenue refunding bonds ("Bonds") to cause the
origination ofmortgage loans to finance the acquisition, construction, rehabilitation or improvement
of single family housing in the Cifies (or either of them). In addition to or in lieu of issuing Bonds,
the Issuers (or any one or more of them) may undertake a MCC program to issue MCCs to
mortgagors who obtain mortgage loans to finance the purchase, conshuction, rehabilitation or
improvement of single family housing in the Cities (or either of them). The Issuers may issue Bonds,
or will elect not to issue bonds in favor of MCCs, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately
(a) $40,5�8,000 for Minneapolis and $25,369,000 for SaintPaul, representing certain carried forward

Ol�l'
allocarion and 2002 entitlement bond allocation of Minneapolis and Saint Paul; (b) an amount up
to $65,000,000 to refund outstanding mortgage revenue bonds and to recycle refund prepayments
and repayments of certain outstauding bonds; and (c) such principal amount of taxable bonds as may
be necessary or convenient to fiirther the purposes of this Program.
Mortgage loans fmanced through the issuance of the Bonds and those in connection with
which the MCCs will be issued, will be subject to the following terms (or, for Bonds as to which
these requirements do not apply as a matter of law, to such other terms approved by the Board):
purchase price - the maximum purchase price for fmanced homes shall not exceed
the lesser of (a) 90% (ll0% in "targeted areas" or areas treated as tazgeted areas) of the
applicable "average area purchase price" determined by the United States Deparhnent of the
Treasury or by the Issuers on the basis of more complete information, or (b) 3 times the
applicable income limit for the Program imposed by Minnesota law (except that an certain
areas the purchase price shall not exceed 4 times the applicable income limit to the extent
consistent with applicable federal law);
income limits - the m�imum income of the mortgagors sha11 be the lower of (a) the
income restrictions imposed by federa] t� law or (b) the income restrictions imposed by

the first six months of the Program, 50% of the money available to make mortgage loans or
the "non-issued bond amount" of MCCs must be reserved for persons and families with
adjusted incomes not greater than 90% ofthe general Program income limits. Income limits
under Section 462C.03, Subd. 2 sha11 be adjusted for family size by deducting $1,000 per
