SUBJECT: BURLINGTON APARTMENTS REFINANCING
Dear ���
We submit for your review and referral to the office of the Mayor, City Council and City
Attorney's office, details pertaaning to the joint issuance of the Port Authority and the HRA of
taY exempt and taxable revenue bonds in the approximate amount of $22,000,000 to refinance
the Burlington Apartment complex in Energy Park which is currently financed by the
$22,070,000 in tax exempt bonds issued in 1985 by the Port Authority and HRA. These will be
conduit, FHA insured, bonds issued for the benefit of Burlington House Associates, L.L.P.
No revenue bonds allocation is needed as this is a refunding. The closing deadline, because of
the FHA commitment, is March 14, 1996.
The Port Authority staff has conducted a thorough evaluation of the firms ancUor individuals that
are involved in ttris project or in which the principals have an interest. This investigation has
included detailed credit analysis, Dun and Bradstreet reports, direct communication with
representatives of financial institutions with whom the participants have done business and data
base checks to determine if any principal(s) have been in any way involved in legal proceedings
as a result of securities fraud, extortion, embezzlement or fmancial misrepresentation.
