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 THE PROJECT TO THE
ENERGY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
AND AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF
NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS
IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROJECT
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 economically sound industry and commerce to prevent
so far as possible the emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of chronic
unemployment;
(b) Factors necissitating 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 govern-
mental 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
2960 Associates, a general partnership to be organized under the laws of the State
of Minnesota with Gerald C. Mogren, Robert C. Mogren and Lee Clintsman as general
partners and others to be named (the "Company ") a proposal that the City assist
in financing a Project hereinafter described, through the issuance of a Revenue
Bond or Bonds or a Revenue Note or Notes hereinafter referred to in this resolution
as "Revenue Bonds" pursuant to the Act;
(d) The City desires to facilitate the selective development of the community,
retain and improve the tax base and help to provide the range of services and em-
ployment 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 help maintain a positive relationship between assessed
valuation and debt and enhance the image and reputation of the community;
(e) The Company is currently engaged in the business of real estate development.
The Project to be financed by the Revenue Bonds is an approximately 15,000 square
foot office building to be located on the East side of White Bear Avenue between
Lydia Avenue and Beam Avenue directly North of the Maplewood East Shopping Center
in Maplewood, Minnesota to be leased to Edina Realty and consists of the acquisition
of land the construction of buildings and improvements thereon and the installation
of equipment therein to be initially owned and operated by the Company, and will
result in the employment of additional persons to work within the new facilities;
- 5 - 11/26
(f) The City has been advised by representatives 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 borrow-
ing cost, the Project is economically more feasible;
(g) Pursuant to a resolution of the City Council adopted on November 8, 1984,
a public hearing on the Project was held on November 26, 1984, after notice was
published, and materials made available for public inspection at the 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.

Minnesota, as follows:

to be located on the East side of White Bear Avenue between Lydia AVenue and Beam
Avenue directly north of the Maplewood East Shopping Center in Maplewood, Minnesota,
to be leased to Edina Realty pursuant to Company's specifications suitable for the
operations described above to be initially owned and operated by the Company and
pursuant 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 Revenue Bonds in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000 to
be issued pursuant to the Act to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping
of the Project; and said agreement may also provide for the entire interest of Co-

that the Project furthers the purposes stated in Section 474.01, Minnesota Statutes;
that the Project would not be undertaken but for the availability of industrial
bond financing; 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,

legal or equitable, upon any property or funds of the City except the revenue and

sidered for subdivision.
