PASSED THIS MOTION BY: SECOND BY: ROLL CALL VOTE: ATTEST: DAY OF ,19 AYES: NAYS: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA JO-ANNE STUDENT CITY COUNCIL SECRETARY GARY PETERSON MAYOR cYrY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Meeting of.' January 25, 1999 AGENDA SECTION: Other Ordinances ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO: ~ and Resolutions Community Development APPROVAL ITEM: Resolution 99-09, authorizing the BY: Kenneth R. Anderson BY: issuance of Commercial Development DATE: January 22, 1999 Refunding Revenue Bonds for Columbia Park Properties ~ -~" If BACKGROUND: The Columbia Park Properties (Medical Clinic Project) which is located at 4000 Central Avenue NE, is proposing to issue $4,165,000 in Commercial. Development Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 1999 and close on or about March 1, 1999. These proceeds will be used to refund a previous refunding bond issue in 1992. The original bond issue was issued in the amount of $5,000,000 in 1985 to allow for the acquisition of property and construction of the facility at its current location at 40t~ and Central Avenue NE. Attached is a copy of Resolution No.99-09 which is a Resolution of 'the City Council of Columbia Heights authorizing the issuance, sale and delivery of the Commercial Development Refunding Revenue Bonds for the Columbia Park Properties - Medical Clinic Project, Series 1999. Other supporting documentation for the proposed bond issue includes a Bond Purchase Agreement, Assignment of Mortgage, Mortgage, Loan Agreement, and Indenture of Trust. (Please note that the City Resolution is approving the bond issue in the amount of $4,165,000. This amount changed on Janua~y 21, 1999from the original amount of $4,025,000. The supporting documentation shows the old amount of $4,025,000 and will be revised to the new issue size of $4,165,000 on all copies to be signed by City officials.) ANALYSIS: The $4,165,00 Commercial Development Revenue Refunding are an obligation of the Columbia Park properties and not the City of Columbia Heights. However, the City of Columbia Heights is acting as a conduit for this type of financing on behalf of Columbia Park Properties. As previously indicated, the City has facilitated this project financing two times previously. This type of f'mancing is allowed by the Internal Revenue Code in that the purpose and affect will be to promote the public welfare of the City and its residents by retaining this project in Columbia Heights. As part of this financing transaction, it will be necessary for the Company to pay administrative fees to the City of Columbia Heights. The amount of the administrative fees are estimated to be $20,825 at the time of closing on or about March 1, 1999. An additional $20,825 will be paid on the first anniversary of the new bond issue. Thereafter, an amount equal to one-tenth of one percent of the outstanding principal will be paid annually to the City. The purpose for the financing is to allow Columbia Park Properties to take advantage of lower interest rates over those rates being paid on the current bond issue. The old rates range from 7 percent to 8.2 percent and the new rates will range from 4.25 percent to 5.6 percent. Over the term of the new bond issue the estimated savings will be $1,335,000 to Columbia Park Properties. In terms of the present value amount of savings, this is equivalent to approximately $563,600. The net effect for Columbia Park Properties is that they will be able to pay off the remaining Revenue Bonds January 22, 1999 ~ Page two debt at a more favorable market rate resulting in savings over time. '.~ere is no obligation on the part of the City of Columbia Heights to make any payment of principal, interest or any other fees related to this issue. RECOMMENDATION: The City's Bond Attorney, John Utley, of Kennedy and Graven, Chartered, will be present at the meeting of January 25~ to answer any questions of the City Council. Staff recommends City Council approval by adoption of Resolution No. 99-09 subject to the noted correction to the issue size in the approving documents. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 99-09, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution No. 99-09, being a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the "Issuer") authorizing the issuance, sale, and delivery of the Issuer's Commercial Development Refunding Revenue Bonds (Columbia Park Properties L.L.P. - Medical Clinic Project), Series 1999 (the "Bonds"), which bonds and the interest and any premium thereon shall be payable solely from revenues pledged thereto; approving the form of and authorizing the execution and delivery of an Indenture of Trust, a Loan Agreement, and a Bond Purchase Agreement; approving the use of an official statement; approving the form of and authorizing the execution and delivery of the Bonds; and providing for the security, rights and remedies of the owners of said bonds.
