RESOLUTION RECITING A PROPOSAL FOR A
COMMERCIAL FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO THE PROJECT PURSUANT
TO THE MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
ACT AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION FOR
APPROVAL OF SAID PROJECT TO THE COMMISSIONER OF
SECURITIES OF THE STATE OF MINNEOSTA AND AUTHORIZING
THE PREPARATION OF NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS
IN CONNECTION WITH SAID PROJECT
- 13 - 4/16
WHEREAS.
(a) The purpose of Chapter 474, Minnesota
Statutes, known as the Minnesota Municipal Industrial
Development Act (the "Act ") as found and 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 of blighted and marginal lands and areas of
chronic unemployment;
(b) 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 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
increased costs and access to employment opportunities for such
population;
(c) The City Council of the City of Maplewood
( "the City ") has received from BKM Management Company, a
Minnesota partnership (the "Company ") a proposal that the City
undertake to finance a Project hereinafter described, through
the issuance of a tax exempt note ( "the Note ") pursuant to the
Act;
(d) The City desires to facilitate the selec-
tive development of the community, retain and improve the tax
base and help to provide the range of services and employment
opportunities required by the population; and the Project will
assist the City in achieving those objectives. The Project
will help to increase assessed valuation of the City and
surrounding areas and help maintain a positive relationship
between assessed valuation and debt and enhance the image and
reputation of the community;
(e) Company is currently engaged in the
business of developing real estate to be used for automobile
and truck sales and servicing. The Project to be financed by
the Note is an automobile and truck sales and service facility
to be located in the City and consists of the construction of
buildings and improvements of land and the installation of
equipment therein, and will result in the employment of 40
additional persons to work within the new facilities,
(f) The City has been advised by representa-
tives of 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 significantly
reduced, but Company has also advised this Council that with
the aid of municipal financing, and its resulting low bor-
rowing cost, the Project is economically more feasible;
- 14 - 4/16
(g) Pursuant to a resolution of the City
Council adopted on March 19, 1981, a public hearing on the
Project was held on April 16, 1981, after notice was published,
and materials made available for public inspection at Maplewood
City Hall, all as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section
474.01, Subdivision 7b at which public hearing all those
appearing who so desired to speak were heard;
(h) No public official of the City has either a
direct or indirect financial interest in the Project nor will
any public official either directly or indirectly benefit
financially from the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Maplewood, Minnesota, as follows:
1. The Council hereby gives preliminary approval to the
proposal of Company that the City undertake the Project
pursuant to the Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act
(Chapter 474, Minnesota Statutes), consisting of the F
construction and equipping of facilities within the City
pursuant to Company's specifications suitable for the
operations described above and to a revenue agreement between
the City and Company upon such terms and conditions with
provisions for revision from time to time as necessary, so as
to produce income and revenues sufficient to pay, when due, the
principal of and interest on the Note in the total principal
amount of approximately $900,000 to be issued pursuant to the
Act to finance the construction and equipping of the Project;
and said agreement may also provide for the entire interest of
Company therein to be mortgaged to the purchaser of the Note;
and the City hereby undertakes preliminarily to issue its Note
in accordance with such terms and conditions;
2. On the basis of information available to this Council
it appears, and the Council hereby finds, that the Project
constitutes properties, real and personal, used or useful in
connection with one or more revenue producing enterprises en-
gaged in any business within the meaning of Subdivision la of
Section 474.02 of the Act; that the Project furthers the
purposes stated in Section 474.01, Minnesota Statutes; that the
availability of the financing under the Act and willingness of
the City to furnish such financing will be a substantial
inducement to Company to undertake the Project, and that the
effect of the Project, if undertaken, will be to encourage the
development of economically sound industry and commerce, to
assist in the prevention of the emergence of blighted and
marginal land, to help prevent chronic unemployment, to help
the City retain and improve the tax base and to provide the
range of service and employment opportunities required by the
population, to help 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, to promote
more intensive development and use of land within and adjacent
to the City and eventually to increase the tax base of the
community;
- 15 - 4/16
3. The Project is hereby given preliminary approval by
the City subject to the approval of the Project by the Com-
missioner of Securities, and subject to final approval by this
Council, Company, and the purchaser of the Note as to the ulti-
mate details of the financing of the Project;
4. In accordance with Subdivision 7a of Section 474.01
Minnesota Statutes, the Mayor of the City is hereby authorized
and directed to submit the proposal for the Project to the
Commissioner of Securities and Real Estate, requesting her ap-
proval, and other officers, employees and agents of the City
are hereby authorized to provide the Commissioner with such
preliminary information as she may require;
5. Company has agreed and it is hereby determined that
any and all costs incurred by the City in connection with the
financing of the Project whether or not the Project is carried
to completion and whether or not approved by the Commissioner
will be paid by Company;
6. Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, acting as
bond counsel, and Miller & Schroeder Municipals, Inc.,
investment bankers, are authorized to assist in the preparation
and review of necessary documents relating to the Project, to
consult with the City Attorney, Company and the purchaser of
the Note as to the maturities, interest rate and other terms
and provisions of the Note and as to the covenants and other
provisions of the necessary documents and to submit such
documents to the Council for final approval;
7. Nothing in this resolution or in the documents pre-
pared pursuant hereto shall authorize the expenditure of any
municipal funds on the Project other than the revenues derived
from the Project or otherwise granted to the City for this
purpose. The Note shall not constitute a charge, lien or
encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property or funds of
the City except the revenue and proceeds pledged to the payment
thereof, nor shall the City be subject to any liability
thereon. The holder of the Note shall never have the right to
compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City to pay the
outstanding principal on the Note or the interest thereon, or
to enforce payment thereof against any property of the City.
The Note shall recite in substance that the Note including
interest thereon, is payable solely from the revenue and
proceeds pledged to the payment thereof. The Note shall not
constitute a debt of the City within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory limitation;
S. In anticipation of the approval by the Commissioner of
Securities and Real Estate and the issuance of the Note to
finance all or a portion of the Project, and in order that
completion of the Project will not be unduly delayed when

for approval of the Project, which has been available for inspection by the public
at the City Hall from and after the publication of notice of the hearing, are in
all respects ratified and confirmed.
