(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.
