APPROVAL OF JULY 14, 1988, HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT!' AUIHORlIY MINUTES:
bDTIDN by Mr. Rasmussen, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to approve the June 14,
1988, Housing & Redevelopment Authority minutes as written.
Ur-ON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON CDNMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION
(TARRIED UNANDDUSLY.
Mr. Robertson stated he would like to change the agenda and have "Tax
Increment Districts /Refund of School Levy" as the first item on the agenda.
1. CONSIDERATIDN OF TAX INCRM= DISTRICTS /REFUND OF SCHOOL LEVY:
Mr. Camlers stated the HRA members had a copy of a letter from Jim O ' Mea ra
-1-
HOUSING & REDEVELOPM= AUIHOR1'1'Y MMTIlWx, AUGUST 11, 1988
which was a followup to the HRA's earlier request to him with respect to the
refund of certain portions of the tax increment fund to the school
districts.
Ms. Burt stated that since the last meeting, Mr. O'Meara had come to the
City and reviewed the bond arrangements that were made with the bonds that
were sold and how they related to this change in the tax law. There are
three situations that can occur.- Category 3 stated that if the districts
are certified after the last day of the bond sale, we will automatically
have to provide that money back to the School District. The reason for this
is that we were not planning on those funds when the bonds were sold, so, in
essence, we did not need then.
Ms. Burt stated situations 1 and 2 area little bit different in that the
districts that were certified previously have bond requirements for which
the increment was being pledged for the debt service on those bonds.
Ms. Burt stated that due to the fact that a couple of the HRA's major
developments have not gone through, they are not gaining the increment they
had projected in on those projects; therefore, they do not have the funds
they originally thought they would have to pay the debt service on those
bonds. So, they need to find other sources.
Ms. Burt stated Mr. Pribyl and staff's recaRunendation, along with Mr.
O'Meara's, was that they do make the payment to the School District for
circumstance #3. Unfortunately, that dollar amount was quite shall, $1,674.
The reason for this is that the two districts that it applies to are just
beginning- -the Winfield District and the Shorewood District. As of this
point in time, the Shorewood District is not generating any increment. It
will begin generating increment next year; but, again, that amount will be
small. The Winfield district is generating a mall amount of increment.
Ms. Burt stated they should look back in a year on the other districts and
at that time if the developments are going a little bit stronger, maybe they
can come up with the option of working in cooperation with the School
District to get then some more money. But, right now, it would be unwise
for the HRA to do anything like that because they need the money to pay the
debt service on the bonds.
Mr. Carmers stated that, as he understood it, they just have a very small
amount they are required under the law to return to the school districts,
and that was $1,674, and it was staff's and the attorney's recauiendation to
do that. As far as the other alternatives of returning money, those were
not statutory requirements but were discretionary; and, it was staff's and
the attorney's reccu mendation that with regard to those alternatives, they
would not return any money at this time.
Ms. Burt stated that was correct. They have pledged that money to the
bondholders, and they have an obligation to the bondholders first.
Mr. Casserly stated Ms. Burt had summed the situation up very succinctly.
The point that is being made is that because of the stage of development,
-2-
HOUSIlo & RIDEVEL R4ENr ALmJORM MEErM, AUGUST 11, 1988
they just do not know today the amount of revenue that will be available.
Mr. Gordon Sangster and Mr. Jim Furgason from School District 14 were in the
audience.
Ms. Burt stated actually the $1,674 was for School District 16. There was
no money for School District 14 at this time. The Shorewood District was
the only development in School District 14, and there were no bonds pledged
in that district.
Mr. Sangster stated he was a little confused about the timing and had some
questions about it.
Ms. Burt stated Mr. Pribyl had attempted to contact some people from School
District 14 to go over this with them, but was unable to do so before he
went on vacation. She stated staff could go over this in more depth with
the School District representatives at anther time.
Mr. Campers stated that if there was sane issue on the timing and what
increments should be taken into consideration and which increments should
rot, he would suggest that staff arrange a meeting with the School District
14 Board, city representatives, and Jim O'Meara to get this resolved.
Mr. Robertson and Ms. Burt agreed with Mr. Cammers' suggestion.
NDTIDN by Mr. Raanussen, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, to approve the statutory
refund in the amount of $1,674 to School District 16, and also to School
District 14 to the extent there is any refund due to then.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON G D24ERS DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANDDUSLY.
2. CDNS IDERAT IDN OF LOU LUNDGREN PROPOSAL:
Mr. Robertson stated that a good sunBnary of the status of this project
appeared on agenda page 1 -F which was the second page of Mr. Nem an's August
5, 1988, letter. The three items listed were the items of financial
assistance that Mr. Lundgren says is needed:
(1) a letter of credit for $700,000;
(2) additional financing in the approx. amount of $2,300,000; and
(3) interest or write -down of 2 1/4% on a loan of $7,922,700.
Mr. Robertson stated that from the time in January when the letter of credit
was due, Centennial Mortgage was the chief financial underwriter and had
indicated that if there was any problem with the financing package Mr.
Lundgren had proposed, they could make that up with some equity
participation from an equity pool. As the HRA could see, in the
quasi - acceptance by Centennial Mortgage, that was not included; therefore,
what they had all hoped in teens of a firencial package had not occurred.
-3-
HOUSIM & RED VELOPM U AUMORMY MEETING, AUGUST .11, 1988
Mr. Robertson stated that because they have not made substantial progress,
it was not only his judgement, but also Mr. Newman's and Mr. Casserly Is
collective judgement, that even though Mr. Lundgren has made a sincere
effort, he has failed and that the HRA should terminate their relationship
with him and cash his letter of credit.
Mr. Robertson stated Mr. Lundgren has requested time to explain his position
more fully, to explain his letter, and to speak to Mr. Newman's Aug. 5
letter.
Mr. Lundgren stated he could not cmment specifically on Mr. Newman's letter
dated Aug. 5, 1988, because he had not seen it before this meeting. He had
not received his copy.
Mr. Lundgren stated he was disappointed that Centennial Mortgage had not
cane up with the size mortgage and /or the participating mortgage they had
assured him and the City they would do. However, they did come up with a
mortgage proposal, and the HRA had that.
Mr. Lundgren stated he had explained to staff that he believed the three
items listed in Mr. Netanan's letter can be obtained before he would close.
He stated he has asked for nine specific points in his letter dated Aug. 4,
1988, to the HRA to find out where the HRA stood on certain things.
Obviously, if the HRA was seeking sane money, he had to know what the amount
was; and, depending upon how the HRA would respond to these particular
questions, that amount would vary.
Mr. Lundgren stated he believed he would need to have scene real evidence
that the HRA had the ability to have land control, and he thought any other
developer with any other mortgage finn would require the same. He could not
put a package together based on the timing of certain things and then let it
sit for 120 days. They have actual construction bids, and they have aleady
kept then on 65 days. He might be able to keep then a little longer, but
only with the sub bidder's consent. He believed he was very close. He
believed he had a project the HRA and the City wants for this site. He
believed there was no evidence that he had extended in any fashion, in terms
of spending money or time, the exposition of getting the things that were
required.
Mr. Lundgren stated with him at the meeting were June Lundgren; Robert
Silverman, his attorney; Kevin Jensen, President of the State Bank of
Springfield; and Alan Rouse, one of his associates.
Mr. Lundgren stated he would like to have the HRA discuss the nine points he
has listed in his letter. He did not expect the HRA to say 'des" to all of
then, but he would like an answer to each point, and he would like an
extension. He stated he did not think the HRA would find any other
developer who has worked harder on this project than he has, but more time
was needed to consummate this particular project. He was requesting an
extension of 60 days. And, he thought staff should be instructed to work
out a development agreenent.
QM
HOUSIlVG & RFDSVIIc)R,4E P AU HOR=Y MEEErm., XX;L 'T 11, 1988
Mr. Robertson stated that before the HRA could enter into a development
agreement with Mr. Lundgren, the HRA had to have some numbers, how those
numbers were going to work, and the level of assistance the HRA could
provide for this project.
Mr. Lundgren stated he appreciated that. He was not asking for then to
enter into a development agreement; he was asking then to discuss and work
out a development agreement.
Mr. Commers stated he felt every item listed in Mr. Lundgren's letter had
been discussed and gone over in detail before with Mr. Lundgren.
Mr. Robert Silverman stated he has been working with Mr. Lundgren since May
1988. He stated he did not have all the history of the project, but he has
been following part of it. Mr. Lundgren's Aug. 4th letter was responsive to
the continued requests from staff asking for his proposal. And, Mr.
Lundgren was saying what his proposal was based on Centennial's coamitment.
There have been plans, and Mr. Chsserly has made runs on the numbers. He
stated the only embers he had seen which Mr. Casserly had concluded in May
were not feasible, were based upon the assumption that the City was going to
put in an $850,000 parking garage. That garage was not part of Mr.
Lundgren's proposal anymore. So, to the extent that Mr. Chsserly' s numbers
show that the project is infeasible based upon $850,000 that is not going to
be spent, he would suggest that Mr. C`asserly go back and rerun the numbers
based upon Mr. Lundgren's present proposal.
Mr. Silverman stated that both he and Mr. Lundgren had not seen Mr. Nemzn's
letter until 5 minutes before the meeting. Mr. Newman's letter made
reference to an earlier proposal from Mr. Lundgren asking the City and the
HRA if they would facilitate the financing by helping Mr. Lungren write down
the rate, thereby increasing the amount. That was still a part of Mr.
Lundgren's wish, but they would understand that if the City could not do
that, if the HRA is unwilling to participate, they would have to f ind some
other source to do that. They were working on doing that.
Mr. Silverman stated they agree that it has been a long time, but they have
been working on the project. They finally got the mortgage commitment in
late July. As soon as they get one set of parameters, they have to find out
what the other parameters might be. Based upon what the mortgage commitment
said to then, Mr. Lundgren had written to the HRA and asked them to consider
those 9 points.
Mr. Silverman stated it was correct that the City and the HRA have the legal
right to acquire title to the property essentially after 90 days after
filing the petition and quick -take. But, 90 days frrzn August 11th was not
October 1, and it was past the date when Centennial has requested that Mr.
Lundgren have land control and close.
Mr. Silverman stated that at the meetings he has attended, there has been a
reluctance on the part of city staff to commit to go out and get the land.
Understandably, they want to know a little more about the project, but the
City has not even started the condensation procedure. They have asked the
-5=
HOUSIlU & RIDEVELOM r AUI iORITY MEEMG, AUGUST 11, 1988
City to begin negotiations with the lard caner to find out what the price is
going to be, but as far as they know, the City or the HRA has not done that.
So, yes, they can put the project together in 90 days easily, but they need
the willingness to do it, and it was difficult for the developer to commit
himself to close the mortgage in 60 days if the land is not going to be
controlled for 90 -100 days. Obviously, without the lard, no mortgage can be
closed.
Mr. Silverman stated that regarding the road locations, it was his
understanding that staff has had detailed full working drawings for some
time, and saneone can estimate what the cost of all the public improvements
might be. Again, that was part of the proposal, but they have not heard the
City or the HRA say, yes, they will do that.
Mr. Silverman stated the tax payment for $900 /unit was what the mortgage was
processed on, and if the taxes are going to be more, they should know that.
They have done some studies and presented then to staff saying $900 per unit
per year represents the market. That is going to generate "x" dollars worth
of tax increment, and that is either enough or not enough for the City to
participate by writing down the land and doing the public improvements.
They have not received an answer to that point.
Mr. Silverman stated regarding the letter of credit, what was the purpose of
tree letter of credit and whether or not it has been served by the thousands
and thousands of dollars that Mr. Lundgren has spent on the project and his
commitment to the project. Mr. Lundgren has worked on the project for in
excess of two years, and he continues to show good faith to continue working
on the project. If the letter was there as a good faith deposit to prove
that Mr. Lundgren was going to try to canplete the project, he has met that
test.
Mr. Silverman stated with respect to proceeding with development contracts,
they agreed to do that.
Mr. Silverman stated that regarding the second mortgage, the present
development contract says Mr. Lundgren will give the HRA a second mortgage.
They cannot do that under this financing proposal. If the City insists upon
a second mortgage and is not going to get enough money from the tax
increment this project generates, they cannot do the Centennial financing
proposal.
Mr. Silverman stated it was discussed earlier that this project and other
projects have not yet created sufficient taxes to pay the school districts
and to help the bonds. That was true, but the real question was: Was any
other developer going to do it any quicker? Mr. Lundgren has put in two
years worth of effort. He has full working drawings, full plans and specs,
a contractor on board, and a mortgage commitment, even though it is not the
best mortgage commitment in the world. He is still saying he wants to do
the project. They can proceed to work cooperatively with the HRA and City
Staff, but if the HRA says, sorry, the project is over, he did not think the
City was going to get a better development, or any development at all,
quicker than they would in continuing to work with Mr. Lundgren.
MM
HOUSM & REDMWPN= AUMORITY NEErUG, AUGUST 11, 1988
Mr. Cartners stated that if Mr. Lundgren is allowed to go forward with the
project, he has to obtain sane kind of additional financing in the amount of
$2,300, 000. What type of protection would the City have if they authorized
Mr. Lundgren additional time to do that, and in the meantime, the City
started to take the property?
Mr. Silverman stated that was a hard timing question to answer. Obviously,
the City would prefer not to acquire the lard until the project is totally
put together. On the other hand, the longer time the HRA takes before they
acquire the land, the less opportunity Mr. Lundgren has to get financing and
to arrange the equity. It seemed to him the City has the opportunity, and
it was not inconsistent with other c a-munities that have policies to take a
"plighted area" and stir up development by acquiring the land in advance of
a development proposal. He did not know if that was the City of Fridley's
policy, but it was certainly a way to proceed. It would take a lot of
uncertainty out of the project f ran Mr. Lundgren' s standpoint.
Mr. Carmers asked if Mr. Lundgren believed that within 30 days he could cane
up with sanething to cover the additional equity that is required.
Mr. Silveman stated Mr. Lundgren was certainly working on it.
Mr. Meer asked why acquiring the land was such a critical point in terms of
Centennial having an agreement contingent upon the land being available.
Does Centennial always have to have a deed in hand before they sign a
commitment? Couldn't they just say, "upon acquiring the land, Mr. Lundgren
shall get the mortgage commitment "... ?
Mr. Silverman stated Centennial requires this to happen by Oct. 5.
Centennial has carmitted a fixed interest rate at 8 1/4%, but they won't
carmit it past Oct. 5.
Mr. Meyer stated Centennial knows it is going to take the H RA 90 days to
acquire the land, yet they are saying they need the commitment in 60 days.
What kind of cmmitment is that? He stated he thought Centennial was using
this as a play to get out of a commitment. He stated he was very
disappointed in the way Centennial has been stringing Mr. Lundgren and the
City and the HRA along. He stated he supported everything Mr. Silverman has
stated about Mr. Lundgren and his good faith and credit, but he was
disappointed in the whole process of things and that this was a never ending
game.
Mr. Carmers stated that in all practicality, the HRA probably cannot get
lard control by Oct. 5. He stated that once before they were very close to
owning the property, but they backed away from it when they found the
project was not going to go. The HRA was oat interested in awning property
and being landlords.
Mr. Casserly stated the problem was more serious than was being said. This
is mt a market rate mortgage. This is not a problem where they have
carmitted funds for a given period of time in which they have gone out to
purchase assets. This is for an 8 1/4% mortgage. It doesn't make any
-7-
H0USIW3 & RIDEUIIDPMENTP AUI iORITY MEET M, MMW 11, 1988
difference if this camnitment ran to Dec. 1, Jan. 1, or Feb 1, because the
carmitment was not very meaningful.
Mr. Silverman stated he was not deferrling Centennial, and he saw the same
problems the HRA and staff were raising. He did submit it was a starting
point to see if they can make the project work.
Ms. Schrabel asked Mr. Lundgren that if he was unsuccessful in obtaining
additional financing in the amount of $2,300,000 by Oct. 5, did he have a
contingent plan at that time?
Mr. Lundgren stated, yes, he was working on alternate sources of funding but
he was not prepared to discuss those at this time.
Ms. Schrabel stated it would seen to her that if Mr. Lundgren cannot obtain
the additional $2,300,000 by Oct. 5, Centennial's deadline, that Centennial
will pull its camlitment, and Mr. Lundgren will be back at square one.
Mr. Lundgren stated his two alternate sources of funding would not rely on
the Centennial mortgage.
Mr. Rasmussen stated he felt this has just gone on for too long a time, and
he thought they should terminate the negotiations now. As drastic and harsh
as it sounds, he thought it was time to call it quits.
Mr. Casserly stated part of the problem with the analysis in terms of trying
to determine what is available is that this is a constantly moving target.
Originally, when they were talking about taxes being $1,350 -1,100 per unit,
they were then talking about a parking structure being in, sometimes
utilities are in, sometimes utilities are out, and public improvements.
When the suggestion was made that the market rate would only sustain $900
per unit in taxes, at that time the determination was made that the
development be responsible for the parking structure, aryl the taxes would be
reduced down to the $900 level to try to make this project work on a market
rate basis. These are constantly moving kinds of things. It was important
to point out that they do not do a new run every time they have a variation
when something is suggested.
Mr. Casserly stated, more importantly, they have been looking at other
options and the developer has been looking at other options, and he has
brought a number of people into the process. They had rather an extensive
meeting on July 20, 1988, when they were told that the project was going to
be short of funds and Mr. Lundgren was going to need sane kind of subsidized
interest rate. The prospect was raised at that meeting that a very
interesting and very innovative financing scheme be suggested. It was
outlined in Mr. Nemen's letter, and it was indicated that the City could
not be negative or positive in terms of that package because it was putting
the HRA in the position of issuing essentially a $9 1/2 -10 million bond
issue and having that be guaranteed. It was an interesting concept, but
staff could not see the HRA wanting to get into that part of the financing.
Mr. Casserly stated staff suggested, however, that this method of financing
-8-
HOUSIW7 & RIDEEVELOPM U AUUiORITY MEErnG, AIIGUST 11, 1988
has been done, and if the developer could provide staff with more
information on how this would work, staff would be happy to review it and
present it to the HRA, because it was thought at that time that the mortgage
camnitment was not going to be adequate. However, that information was
never received. Maybe staff was a little bit too negative and maybe it was
determined by the developer that it was not worth pursuing.
Mr. Casserly stated several meetings were held last week and the problem was
this simple: The project was $2,000,000 short, and the interest rate was 2
1/4% under market. He just did not know how anyone was going to be able to
make up those deficiencies. It might be possible with some kind of
interesting participation process which was discussed in March, April, and
May. But, it was now August, and they are still looking at potential
participation and trying to figure out who is going to finance the project.
Mr. Silverman stated he would concur with Mr. Casserly that this is a moving
target and was going to continue to be a moving target. If nothing else, at
least Centennial mortgage has stabilized one of the moving things, and now
it was the responsiblity of the developer to go forward and see what he can
do.
Mr. Silverman stated that with regard to the innovative proposal, it was a
proposal they would encourage if the City and the HRA felt good about it.
He would quote from Air. Newman's letter to Mr. Robertson dated July 21:
"Both Jim (Casserly) and I expressed in very clear terns our disappointment
in this proposal and our belief that in the current political climate and
with our current deadlines that we are extremely doubtful that either the
City Council or the HRA would approve this proposal. " That was a pretty
negative signal free the City. If it was a proposal that was viable and the
staff and HRA wanted to pursue it, it would solve a lot of problems.
Mr. Canners asked what the status was on Air. Lundgren's letter of credit.
Mr. Newnan stated the letter of credit matured on Monday, August 15.
Mr. Kevin Jensen, President of the State Bank of Springfield, stated the
Bank would be willing to extend the letter of credit to give Mr. Lundgren
same additional time to keep working on the project. They have worked very
closely with Mr. Lundgren, and it was the Bank's belief that there was
potential for this project and that Mr. Lundgren can put the project
together shortly. If he did not feel that way, he would not be at the
meeting.
Mr. Jensen stated that regarding the July 20th meeting, he had obtained a
real estate attorney to sit in on that meeting. It was the attorney's
recoaut�endation after the discussion regarding the city participation
proposal that they should not pursue city participation because of the
negative reaction received fran city staff.
NDTIDN by Mr. Rasmussen, seconded by Ms. Schrabel, to terminate negotiatons
with Mr. Lundgren for the development of the Rice Creek Shopping Center
property and to draw on the letter of credit with the State Bank of
3.
HOUSIlQG & REDEVIIc)pmE2 P AUDJORnY MEEPitp, AUGUST 11, 1988
have cash in haul immediately, and if the credit can be extended for at
least two weeks, it would give them an opportunity to have those
discussions.
Ms. Schnabel stated if a discussion were to take place between Mr. Lundgren
and /or Mr. Silverman and city staff and the HRA attorney, and there was sane
proposal for same partial amount of the money to be returned, they would
have to cane back to the HRA for a decision. She did not think the HRA
wanted to extend that time period for another 30 days. The better solution
would be to cash the letter of credit, and then have that discussion in 30
days.
Mr. Meyer stated that if they do cash the letter of credit on Monday, the
State Bank of Springfield must then proceed against Mr. Lundgren in some
fashion which might cause a $200,000 hardship to Mr. Lundgren. If there is
an alternate agreement later to ratify less than the $200,000, it seams they
might be imposing an additional burden on Mr. Lundgren that he, Mr. Meyer,
was mt contemplating when he voted on the motion. He was not eager to add
salt to the wound.
Mr. Rasmussen stated he felt this was a matter for staff and legal counsel
to work out. This was rnt a time to do any negotiating or amending of a
motion they had already passed unanimously. If there is a proposal to do
something different later, then that was the time to make that second
decision.
Mr. Jensen stated that drawing on the letter of credit might start some
wheels in motion that might be hard to stop that might prohibit any future
discussions or negotiations. That action to get the repayment might be a
hardship on Mr. Lundgren, and there might be other ramifications.
MDTIDN by Mr. Meyer to settle the letter of credit with Mr. Lundgren and the
State Bank of Springfield in the amount of $50,000.
MTIDN FAILED FOR LACK OF A SEQDND.
bir. Newman suggested that Mr. Jensen, Mr. Lundgren, and Mr. Silverman
adjourn to the hallway to discuss a proposal to present to the HRA.
Mr. Ca►mers stated it was the sense of the HRA that they would be open to
some discussions and sane proposals.
Chairperson Canners declared a recess at 8:30 p.m.
Chairperson Canners reconvened the meeting at 8:45 p.m.
ODNSIDERKON OF REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL FOR 57TH PLACE:
Mr. Robertson stated that in June 1988, the HRA received a proposal and
presentation from Winfield Development, and in July, they received a
proposal from JLP. Mr. Casserly had prepared an analysis in July which
showed that with the information they had at the time, it was going to be a
-11-
HOUSIi. & REDWEEDME TP AUIHOR=r MUM, AUG[JST 11, 1988
deficit project. They did not see any way at that time that the project
would pay back in taxes what would be required for investment up front. The
HRA directed staff and Mr. Casserly to work out some additional analyses
given updated information from both developers and to come back with some
final conclusion on whether this was going to be a deficit project and how
much of a deficit project it might be.
Mr. Robertson stated about a week and one -half ago, Mr. Casserly contacted
him and said his analysis indicated there might be a different number that
might be involved in an acquisition of a key parcel. At that time, staff
took the initiative to hire a consultant to get an estimate on what the
condemnation procedure might be on that key parcel.
Mx. Robertson stated he and Mr. Casserly met yesterday morning with one of
the developers to get sane clarification on the project. Mr. Casserly
finished the analysis last night and was ready to give his report at this
meeting.
Mr. Casserly harried out copies of his August 11th letter. He stated that
because of the questions raised at the last meeting about the numbers used
for acquisition and relocation and because the HRA was a little
uncomfortable with those numbers, the City's consultant was asked to do a
very quick analysis. The fixtures and relocation numbers were averages. He
stated the one property that was significantly different was the Rapid Oil
property. Before, they were using acquisition and relocation costs of $705
and $725 and now they have that down to $581. On the third spread sheet
attached to his letter at the bottan of the page was the number $776,500
($622,500 for acquisition, relocation costs, and various other costs plus
$154,000 for infrastructure, relocation involving water, sanitary sewer, and
street) . That was the number he used to determine how much this project
could sustain. He stated they would be geting $350,000 for payment of the
land. In order for the project to end up with $776,500, additional revenue
needed during the life of that district was $412,000.
Mr. Casserly stated that if his sums were accurate and they get $350,000 for
the lam, the HRA was going to have to put in $412,000, either through
special assessments or sanething.
Mr. Casserly stated the second spread sheet was the same except in this
scenario, there was a $400,000 payment for the land, and if the developer
pays $400,000, additional revenue needed was $294,000. The final spread
sheet showed what happens if there is a $450, 000 developer payment for the
land, then there would be about $176,000 in the district over its life.
Mr. Casserly stated he was suggesting this project can zero out and can be
designed so there would be no additional revenue required by the HRA. There
were a whole variety of things that could happen: (1) they could extend the
district by a year; (2) they could get a little larger developer payment or
have a well amount of it for special assessments; (3) they could look at a
little different inflation factor. He had used a fairly moderate one at 3%.
Mr. Casserly stated there was also the possibility that the infrastructure
-12-
HOUSING & REDEVELOMENT AMHORm mmim, AUGUST 11, 1988
expenses might be less than $154, 000. Public Works gave him a range of
$75,000 - $154,000 to work with.
Mr. Casserly stated he did not think before that the development could
sustain itself because of the higher numbers he was using. So, his
recommendation was that the HRA proceed with the project only if the project
can be made to balance which would require no outside HRA money- -that it be
a self supporting development.
Mr. Robertson stated that staff was convinced that either developer probably
has the wherewithall and experience to put together a "doable" proposal. As
suggested by Mr. Casserly, the desirable course would be for the HRA to pick
a developer to proceed with trying to put together a viable proposal that
would essentially gay for itself with more specific commitments, give the
developer a deadline, and if the developer cannot meet that deadline, then
they would go with another developer.
Mr. Robertson stated that since both developers were represented at the
meeting, the HRA might want to call on then for further clarifications on
their thinking about the proposal as reviewed by Mr. Casserly.
Mr. Bill Fogerty, Winfield Development, stated they are willing to spend
money on this project. He stated they have been very busy with another
project, but he felt they had proceeded to do everything the City had
required then to do. He stated they do have a bank for the! r maj or tena nt,
but it was difficult to get the firm camitment from the bank at this time
for sanething they do not have yet. He stated they are dealing with between
$11 -13 per square foot, depending upon how much mezzanine area will be on
the second floor.
Ns. Fogerty stated they have a very high quality, attractive, development
for this site, and he did think they would be able to put the project
together within three months. Within 45 days they would be willing to
propose a $50,000 letter of credit or whatever the HRA deemed necessary.
Mr. Joe Carmers, JLP, stated they were very enthused about entering into a
definitive agreement for the development of the 57th Place site. They have
been very aggressive in working for the City and the HRA. They did all that
was required by city staff. They aggressively pursued acquisition and ended
up with 67% of the total package, leaving a couple of lots and a duplex that
is on the market.
Mr. Joe Canners stated that at the last HRA meeting, he had talked about the
fact that if the HRA was able to pay cash for public improvements, based on
$150,000, it would make about a $300,000 - 400,000 difference. If the public
improvements were closer to $100,000, the difference would be even more
substantial.
Mr. Joe Carmers stated they would request the chance to represent the City
of Fridley and the HRA. He stated they have an excellent winning team to
put a good project together. They are prepared to do the project quickly
and they will stand by a construction schedule of April 1, 1989, and be open
-13-
HOUSIW3 & RIDEVELDRE Tr AU RORITY N=nG, AUGUST 11, 1988
by October 1989.
Mr. Larry Canners asked Mr. Joe Cammers to camment on the numbers Mr.
Casserly had presented where the only way this project was going to work was
by condemning Rapid Oil and acquiring it for less than $300,000.
Mr. Joe Commers stated he would ask Mr. Bruce Peterson, his associate, to
speak to that issue.
Mr. Bruce Peterson stated they recently discussed this suggestion of the
condensation of Rapid Oil. They have done a lot of work with Rapid Oil and
are pretty aware of what Rapid Oil facilities cost and what they are worth,
both existing and new. They have done these kinds of automotive
developments before. It was their opinion that what Rapid Oil is used to
seeing is all the way from $8-10 per square foot on these shall parcels of
property. JLP really questions the practicality of believing that without
just a real battle that these costs can be achieved and that Rapid oil ca n
be acquired. It was one thing to be buying vacant land, but it was another
thing to be acquiring a business that is successful and making a profit. He
stated they just feel the City is looking at a much greater number than
these figures show.
Mr. Joe Co mers stated they have worked with Rapid Oil since day one in a
cooperative manner mt to exclude then, but to include them. They feel it
is a moral obligation to accommodate Rapid Oil. They look at Rapid Oil as a
favorable business transaction, and they have worked hard with city staff to
incorporate Rapid Oil into the development in a very complimentary manner.
If it requires a little bit of compromise on where Rapid Oil would be
located, they are willing to be flexible, but it was a fact that they were
in their present position because Rapid Oil allowed then to enter into an
agreement with an option to purchase. Rapid Oil was a private enterprise,
and they have certain rights. He stated their loyalties would be severely
questioned if they were to tell Rapid Oil they were no longer in the
proj ect.
Mr. Robertson stated that in the past, both the Planning Commission and City
Council have expressed the wish that, given a preference, they would like to
see a mrrautanotive oriented business development on this quadrant that
sets the tone for the southern gateway to the City, and to have as much
property value as possible in there.
Mr. Larry Canners stated that since Mr. Joe Ca mers was a relative, what was
his responsibility as chairperson of the HRA as far as voting on any
motions?
Mr. Nevanan stated the State Statute referred to a member of the HRA having
sane kind of economic interest in the project; and since Mr. Ommers did not
have any economic interest in the project, he could vote on any motions.
Mr. Bruce Lundgren stated he would stress that regarding the tenant mix,
Rapid Oil was only 8% of their project. He did not think they were that far
apart between the two concepts. They recently contacted sane financial
0XIM
HOUSM & REDEVELOPMENT AUUiORITY MEET 4G, AUGUST 11, 1988
institutions and received sane favorable cmments. He stated they are very
flexible. If the HRA wanted more retail service -type tenants, they would be
happy to discuss a tenant mix that the HRA would desire. They were not
locked into anyone other than Rapid Oil, and Rapid Oil was a very minor part
of the project.
Ms. Schnabel stated that having been involved with the City Planning
Commission for a good amber of years before becaning a member of the HRA,
and having been involved in a lot of discussions on planning for the future
of the City of Fridley, as well as working on the Metropolitan Council
directed Comprehensive Plan, it was her personal preference that the
development for the property fell more in line with that proposed by
Winfield Development. That was not to say that the JLP proposal was not a
good one, but she did not feel that was the best selection for that
particular site. As they look at the entrance to the City off the freeway
and as it has been the City's desire for many years to try and upgrade
everything along University Avenue and give visibility to the entrance to
the City, then the Winfield Development proposal best fulfilled those
desires.
Mr. Casserly suggested there be a sum of money required from the developer
to be used for appraisals, soil borings, etc. He would suggest a stun of
$5,000.
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. Rasmussen, to grant exclusive
development rights to Winfield Development, Inc., for 90 days (Nov. 10,
1988) for the 57th Place Redevelopment; and that on or before Monday, August
22, 1988, Winfield Development pay to the HRA a sum of $5,000 to be used for
appraisals, soil borings, and envirormental evaluations. If the payment is
not received by August 22, 1988, then Winfield Development will have the
burden of doing the necessary appraisals, soil borings, and environmental
evaluations satisfactory to City Staff.
Mr. Winfield stated he had no problem with this, because they will have to
do soil borings aryway and would be willing to share that information to the
City.
Mr. Nevanan stated he wanted Mr. Fogerty to understand that Winfield did not
have exclusive right to the appraisals, soil borings, and environmental
evaluation information. That information becomes public information.

Mr. Larry Canmers stated that since he felt it was in the HRA's best
interest for him to refrain fran voting, he wanted both developers to know
that it was also his preference that Rapid Oil not be included in the
project. All the remarks made by Ms. Schnabel were apropos.
Mr. Larry Carmers stated the HRA certainly appreciated the work and expense
put into these prcposals by both developers.

4. CDNSIDERATIDN OF RESOLUTIDN AM MnU CIVIC C &IrM TAX INCRaENr DISTRICT TO
INCLUDE PLAZA RAMP:
Mr. Robertson stated the question about the HRA using tax increment funds
for the construction of the Civic Center parking ramp was put to Mr. Jim
O'Meara. In Mr. O'Meara's first reply dated July 25, he made an assumption
which proved to be in error in terns of the time the bonds were sold. He
corrected that in his August 5 letter in which he stated: "It also appears
now that the concept is that the H RA' s cost under this program would be
funded at least in part from excess proceeds of the 1985 tax increment
bond."
Mr. Robertson stated that after reviewing this opinion with Mr. Newnan, they
both believe that (1) yes, the HRA has the basic legal authority to
construct this parking ramp; (2) yes, the HRA can pay for these expenses out
of tax increment; and (3) yes, the expenses can be financed through the
issuance of a tax exempt increment bond.
Mr. Robertson stated Mr. O'Meara further stated in his August 5 letter:
"..however, those prior bonds have significantly more lenient restrictions
in the several areas I mentioned in my prior letter, and we feel hopeful
that that can be clone without any prnblsms. "
Mr. Robertson stated they will probably need Mr. O'Meara's assistance to
guide then in subsequent actions.
Mr. Robertson stated Mr. O'Meara had drafted a resolution for the HRA's
consideration (agenda page 3 -F) . In anticipation of the next item
(Consideraton of Bids for Construction of Plaza Ramp) , he would point out
that the number under 111. Recitals, (f)" should be changed fran $785,000 to
$840,000.
Mr. CoRmers asked why Mr. O'Meara had stated in his letter that if the HRA
was getting rent from the office building, that raises questions about tax
exempt f inancing.
Mr. Casserly stated it had to do with the percentage as it relates to the
debt service of the mortgage. If more than 10% is used for private
business, then it fails the private purpose test. He did not believe this
was a problen in this instance. At the time the bonds were issued, the
formula was 25 %, and the amount of rent they are paying was a very small
sun, and not under any circumstances would the amount the office building
was paying support any more than 25% of the debt service on that issue.
Mr. Ccumers stated this also raised the question (regarding Mr. Newman's
August 2, 1988, letter, agenda page 5) that if the HRA refuses to
subordinate the second mortgage or if the HRA refuses to give the office
building the refund being requested of $81,000 under the Lease Guarantee
Fund, would that have any bearing on this project?
Mr. Neaman stated that in all their discussions, it was simply that since
the City would be leasing 9,000 sq. ft. from the office building for a year,
0 V
HOUSIlW, & REDEVEtDPME U AU'IIHORITY ME nG, AUGUST 11, 1988
the office building will agree to waive any condemnation claims with the
construction of the ramp.
Mr. Robertson stated it was staff's recanmendation that the HRA adopt the
resolution and move forward.
NDTIDN by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to adopt Resolution No. 2 to
include the Fridley Plaza Parking Ramp within the Tax Increment District,
with the amendment to 1.(f) to reflect $840,000 worth of estimated costs.

5. CDNSIDERATIDN OF BIDS FOR ODNSTRUC rX)N OF PLAZA RAMP:
NDTIDN by Mr. Rasmussen, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to accept the bids for the
Fridley Plaza Ramp Budget/Bids, August 1988.
Mr. Meyer stated he had looked over the plans and specifications and, in his
opinion, they were well done and very canplete. They seemed to reflect the
type of control the HRA has talked about that the architect make the
ultimate decisions.
Mr. Rasmussen stated a question he had was regarding security in the ramp.
Mr. David Kroos stated the lighting level inside the ramp would be the first
concern for security, and that was adequately covered. The other thing
talked about at a previous meeting was the consideration of some painting
inside the ramp to increase the light level. This was an item they were not
able to get into the base bid package because of the timing, but was
certainly sanething they could do in the future. In addition, they have
talked about placing security cameras inside the ramp wired to the Police
Department, so that was an option. He stated they do have one camera
located at the lobby point to the lower level, but there are no cameras
actually placed inside the ramp that are wired to the Police Department.
Ms. Schrabel suggested the possibility of cameras being placed at any point
where people would access the laver level of the ramp. She, too, was very
concerned about security in the ramp. She stated as a wanan, it was a
terrible thing to park and be afraid. And, no matter where she parks, she
is afraid.
Mr. Jim Hill, Public Safety Director, stated the H RA members have to real iz e
that, obviously, anything is possible, but this is Fridley, not Minneapolis,
and this is only a one level rump, not a multiple level ramp. There will be
high visibility throughout the ramp. There is a main entryway into the
building so there will be cars caning and going constantly, so the need for
security was much less than it would be for a multiple level ramp. He
stated they will certainly take all the security they can get; however, the
big problem is the manpower to watch the monitors. Was the City or the HRA
prepared to hire additional enplcyees to watch the monitors?
-17-
HOUSING & REDWEWPMENP AUIIHORITY MEETIlU, AUGUST 11, 1988
Mr. Meyer suggested an alternative of shriek alamis in lieu of cameras.
Mr. Caterers stated it seemed to be the sense of the HRA that they would like
to -make sure the security is maximized as much as possible. They were
approving the bids as presented, but if it was going to cost more to
increase security, they would like to look at those figures.
Mr. Hill stated there was no question that security would be increased to
whatever level the HRA wanted to pay for it.
Mr. Caterers asked Mr. Robertson to work with Mr. Hill and the architects to
work up sane options for security, and to bring back options and costs for
review by the HRA.

there be access to the adjacent office building?
Mr. Robertson stated there is a stairway that is available to the office
building, and that does meet the criteria.
6. FURMER CDNSIDERATON OF LOU LUNDGREN' S LETTER OF CREDIT:
Mr. NeAmn stated that based on a discussion with Robert Silverman, Mr.
Lundgren's attorney, he would recatenend that, conditioned upon the HRA staff
receiving a certified check in the amount of $25,000 on Monday, August 15,
and further conditioned upon Mr. Lundgren and the HRA exchanging full and
complete releases for any and all claims that either party might have

Lundgren's letter of credit and that the HRA will release the letter of
credit.

CHO
HOUSIlG & RIDEVELA)EM I' XMORIW MESTM, RMST 11, 1988
PLAZA OFFICE BUILDIW:
Mr. C'amers stated the members had a copy of a letter fran Dave Newman to
Jock Rcbertson dated August 2, 1988, stating that the owners of the Fridley
Plaza Office Building are asking the HRA to subordinate their second
mortgage of $39,999 to the first mortgage which the buyer of the building
will be taking out. Currently, there is a first mortgage in the original
principal amount of $1,500,000 to which the HRA's second mortgage is
subordinated.
Mr. C,atmlers stated the Office Building has also asked the HRA to authorize
the release of funds held in the Lease Fund and Purchase Fund to the
building owners. There is approximately $81,000 in the Lease Fund, and
approximately $16,000 in the Purchase Fund.
Mr. Canners stated as he understood it fran Mr. Newman's letter, the
Purchase Fund was really not of any value or use to the HRA. The Lease Fund
was a little different. In his letter, Mr. Newman had stated that the
purpose of the Lease Fund is to provide to the Trustees a form of security
to ensure that -the building owner makes timely rental payments on the
parking lot. While the Indenture of Trust was not clear as to whether or
not the HRA can require the disbursement of funds fram this Fund for the
purpose of making delinquent rental payments, in the past when the HRA
attempted to use this fund for the payment of delinquent parking lot rent,
the Trustee refused to release the funds to the HRA.
Mr. C'armers stated he had no problem with the subordination of the second
mortgage, and the Purchase Fund was sanething the HRA really did not have a
right to anyway, but he did not know if he agreed with the release of the
Lease Fund. He did not have enough infomation to make a good judgement on
it.
Mr. Nemian stated he has read portions of the bond document pertaining to
these funds, and it doesn't specifically state that the landlord has the
right to those funds.
Mr. Newman stated staff was looking at this fran the perspective that the
office building is in trouble, and they would like to accommodate and help
then as much as possible.
Mr. Rasmussen stated he did not like to see the HRA release funds of any
kind, and he would abstain fran voting on any motion that would release any
funds.
NDTIDN by Mr. Nleyer, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, to agree to the subordination
of the HRA's second mortgage with the Fridley Plaza Office Building and to
agree to the release of funds held in the Purchase Fund in the amount of
$16,000 and in the Lease Fund in the amount of $81,000 to the owners of the
Fridley Plaza Building.
Mr. Caterers stated he thought the way this has came up at the last minute
just before the closing on Monday caused him to be very skeptical. He
-19-
HOUSIM & REDEJE[OPMENr ALTMRITY MMIM, ALUM 11, 1988
r
stated the HRA should have been told earlier and given time to look at this
more thoroughly. It was not fair and not appropriate and was not the way to
do business. It was almost like a leverage -kind of thing -- either the HRA
releases the funds or the sale will fall apart. Again, he was not against
subordinating the second mortgage or the release of the $16,000, but he was
against the release of the $81,000.
Ms. Schrabel stated if the HRA was to turn dawn the motion and not release
the funds at this point, the sale might fall through; but then, it might
mt. It might encourage the owners to cane to the HRA with a stronger case.
She shared Mr. Oomner' s concern, and she was uncanfortabl e with this whole
thing.
Mr. Rasmussen stated he was opposed without more information.
MR. MEYER WITHDREN HIS NDTIDN, WITH THE MNSENr OF MS. SCHNABEL.
Mr. Conamers stated if the HRA does not agree to subordinate, in order for
the owners to close on the property, they are going to have to pay off the
mortgage and pay the HRA $40,000.
Mr. Newnan stated the HRA had to realize that if the building went into
foreclosure, the HRA could lose the whole amount.
Mr. Newman stated that, as he understood it, the HRA was looking for
verification of the amounts, the source of funds, and the original agreanent
for those funds.
Mr. Newnan stated he could understand the HRA's concerns. He did think,
though, that some of the questions the HFA was raising were separate frcm
the issue pertaining to the subordination of the mortgage. The building
owners could close in escrow, but he suspected they would have a harder time
closing if the HRA doesn't indicate any interest in subordinating the second
mortgage.
Mr. Rasnussen stated he just did not think the $40,000 was going to make or
break the deal.
8. UPDATE ON 111nE CDTrAGFS" DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL:
Mr. Robertson stated this was an information item. He stated in order to
proceed with an economic analysis, staff was in the process of analyzing the
four itans listed in his mono dated Aug. 4: (1) the tax I.D. numbers for
the parcels which they intern to use for the development; (2) a description
of the type of assistance they will be seeking from the HRA; (3) the
developer's estimate of what they believe the market rate real estate taxes
will be without the use of any assistance; and (4) evidence of site control.
Mr. Robertson stated the question that was raised in July was the financial
ability of Arkell Corporation. He had included a letter of intent fran
Equitec Properties to enter into negotiations to became the cc- developer or
owner of Arkell Cottages.
-20-
HOUSING & REDEVEL pmg AgwoR1TY MEEri%, AUGUST 11, 1988
Mr. Robertson stated Ms. Carol Slavick and Mr. Mark Clemens frcm Arkell
Corp. were at the meeting to answer any questions.
Mr. Robertson stated it was staff's recammendation that staff work with the
developers between now and the Septenber meeting, and upon favorable review
by the HRA, staff will draft up a development agreement. He stated he had
included sane site plans of the proposed layout for the two locations in the
H RA i of orna ti on packet at the meeting.
Mr. Rasmussen stated he would like to request more information on Equitec
Corpora ton.
Mr. Robertson stated Jim Hill, Public Safety Director, had raised the
question about whether storn shelters would be provided on both sites.
Ms. Slavick stated storm shelters would be provided at both sites. They
have 92 units planned for both locations, and one unit on each site will be
a catmunity center with a basement underneath it.
Mr. Hill stated the City has specifications for store shelters, and he would
like them to check into those specifications.
Mr. Camers stated there has always been an access prcblen on Hillwind Road,
and he did not know if there was a solution to that problem or not.
Mr. Robertson stated that regarding the traffic and access concerns, the
access to Hillwind Raid will be improved when the intersection at Highway
65/Old Central is improved. Staff also feels that because of the age of the
tenants (55 years of age and older) they wi11 not generate as much peak hour
traffic as the normal townhouse tenant mix would.
Ms. Slavick stated the purchase agreement for the Hillwind property has been
signed and will be put together the next day. Everything has been agreed
upon by both parties.
Ms. Slavick stated they have a $300,000 estimate on soil correction costs on
the Rice Creek Road property.
Mr. Robertson stated they anticipate having enough information for this to
be an action iten at the next meeting.

RE: Fridley Plaza Office Building Parking Lot Lease
Dear Jock:
Enclosed you will find the proposed amendment to the Parking
Lot Lease for the Fridley Plaza Office Building. I would request
that you place this on the HRA agenda for action at its September
meeting.
As you will recall, the Fridley Plaza Office Building
currently has a Lease covering the municipal parking lot.
Included in this Lease is an option permitting the office
building partnership to purchase a portion of the parking lot at
the end of thirty (30) years for the sum of $100,000.00. This
Lease creates two (2) problems for the HRA in relationship with
their plans to construct the municipal ramp. The first problem
is that during the time that the ramp is being constructed, the
office building partnership will be denied use of a majority of
the parking lot. Secondly, in the year 2012 the office building
would also have the right to purchase a portion of the parking
ramp for the sum of $100,000.00. In conjunction with these
issues there is the additional factor that during remodeling of
the City Hall, there would be less disruption to staff if a
portion of the City staff could temporarily relocate.
As you are also aware, the Fridley Plaza Office Building is
approximately thirty percent (30 %) vacant and the property is in
foreclosure. Consequently, at the direction of Mr. Qureshi I
negotiated the following arrangement with representatives of the
Fridley Plaza Office Building Partnership:
1. Their Lease on the parking lot would be extended
from a thirty (30) year Lease to a ninety -nine
(99) year Lease. During the entire term of the
Lease payments would continue to run at the
amount of $800.00 per month.

2. That the office building partnership would waive
their option to purchase a portion of the parking
lot at the end of thirty (30) years. Rather, at
the end of ninety -nine (99) years they will have
the option to purchase a portion of the parking
lot for the then fair market value. A major
change however, is the fact that the portion of
the parking lot which they now have the right to
purchase does not include the parking ramp.
Obviously, while none of us can predict that this
building will still be standing in ninety -nine
(99) years, the owners had a valid concern that
they did not want their successors in interest at
some point in the future to be owning a building
without any parking.
3. The City would lease from the office building
partnership approximately 8,000 square feet of office
space for a one (1) year period for the aggregate
sum of $80,000.00. This is approximately $9.00
per square foot and is approximately $4.50 a square
foot less than the other tenants are paying. The
landlord will not make any leasehold improvements -and
has the option to terminate a portion of the City's
lease on ninety (90) day notice. In such an event,
the amount of rent owing would be reduced
proportionately.
4. The office building partnership would waive any
claims in condemnation or otherwise against the
BRA and the City arising out the temporary taking
of the parking lot for construction purposes.
It is my recollection that on several occasions in the past you
have reviewed these terms with the BRA and they have formally
indicated their consent. During those discussions you also
informed the BRA that the intent would be that the City would pay
$40,000.00 of the lease payments and the BRA would pay $40,000.00
of the lease payments. The reason the BRA would be paying one -half
of the rent is due to the fact that as a result of the office
space lease, the office building partnership is willing to amend
the Parking Lot Lease and is willing to waive any claims for
disruption to the parking lot.

At the next meeting of the HRA you and Mr. Commers should be
specifically authorized to execute this Amendment to the Parking
Lot Lease. The HRA should also agree to reimburse the City for
one -half of the rent payments incurred in the office building
lease, not to exceed $40,000.00.

RESOLUTION NO. HRH 1988
RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE LEASEHOLD
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE FRIDLEY HOUSING AND
REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND THE FRIDLEY PLAZA OFFICE
BUILDING PARWERSHIP
IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (THE °BOARD °)of the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Fridley,
Minnesota ( the °Authoritya), as follows:
1. On the 20th day of September, 1982, a Leasehold Agreement was entered
into between the Authority and the Fridley Plaza Office Building
Partnership (the Partnership which Leasehold Agreement requires the
Authority to provide to the Partnership the nonexclusive right to a
166 car parking lot and further provides that the Partnership shall
have the option to purchase the Leasehold property at the end of 360
months for the sun of $100,000.
2. The Authority has wishes to construct a bi -level parking ramp on the
site of the parking lot which will impact the Partnership's parking
arrangements and subsequent purchase option. Consequently, there has
been prepared and presented to the Board a corresponding amendment to
the above - mentioned Leasehold Agreement.
3. The City of Fridley will lease from the Partnership approximately
8,000 square feet of office space for one (1) year for the aggregate
sun of $80, 000.
4. The BRA has agreed to pay $40,000 of the lease payments in
consideration of the Partnership's willingness to amend the Parking
Lot Lease and willingness to waive any claims against the BRA for
disruption to the parking lot.
5. The Board hereby approves the Amendment to the Leasehold Agreement and
authorizes the Executive Director and the other officers and employees
of the Authority to execute the Amendment to the Leasehold Agreement
substantially in its present form, but with such minor amendments,
deletions, or insertions as such officers may deem necessary or
desirable, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and the Board
further instructs such officers, upon the full execution of the
Amendment to the Leasehold Agreement, to take such actions as may be
necessary to effectuate and implement the terms thereof.

RE: Fridley Plaza Office Building
Dear Jock:
I have previously forwarded onto you for review the Amendment
to Leasehold Agreement between the Fridley Plaza Office Building
Partnership and the Fridley HRA for the office building parking
lot. Enclosed herein you will find an Addendum to the proposed
Lease for the office building between the Landlord and the City
of Fridley. Because this Lease is conditioned upon the City
awarding contracts for the City Hall remodeling project on or
before October 1, 1988, I now recommend that both of these Leases
be executed. You should then forward them onto Leonard Juster so
that he can initial all of the changes, execute the Addendum and
return to you one fully executed copy of both Agreements.
In addition, we have been approached by the owners of the
building about the issue of subordinating the HRA's second
mortgage in the amount of $39,999.00 to the first mortgage which
the buyer of the building will be taking out. Currently, there
is a first mortgage in the original principal amount of
$1,500,000.00 to which the HRA's second mortgage is subordinated.
Both Mr. Qureshi and I would recommend to the HRA that they
agree to this subordination providing that the principal amount
of the new mortgage does not exceed $1,300,000.00. Our reasoning
is that currently the first mortgage is in foreclosure. we
certainly would recommend against the HRA redeeming the current
first mortgage for the purpose of preserving its second mortgage.
Thus, if the foreclosure were to continue then the HRA would in
all likelihood lose its complete interest in the second mortgage.
It is to our benefit to'work with the current owners so that our
second mortgage is not extinguished. Further, by setting a limit
on the new first mortgage in the amount of $1,300,000.00, the
amount of debt would be reduced to which our second mortgage was
being subordinated.

Finally, the building owners have asked the HRA to authorize
the release of funds held in the Lease Fund and Purchase Fund to
the building owners. They have advised that there is approximately
$81,000.00 in the Lease Fund and approximately $16,000.00 in the
Purchase Fund.
The purpose of the Lease Fund is to provide to the Trustee a
form of security to ensure that the building owner timely makes
its rental payments on the parking lot. While the Indenture of
Trust is not clear as to whether or not the HRA can require the
disbursement of funds from this Fund for the purpose of making
delinquent rental payments, you will recall that in the past when
we have attempted to use this fund for the payment of delinquent
parking lot rent, the Trustee refused to release the funds to
you.
The Purchase Fund is to be used for the purchase of that
portion of the parking lot which the building owner has an option
on. O °riginally, this option arose at the end of thirty (30)
years. We have now extended the option to ninety -nine (99)
years. Since the right to purchase a portion of the parking lot
is merely an option, clearly the HRA cannot compel the Trustee to
disburse anything from this fund in order to require the purchase
of a portion of the parking lot.
It would be my recommendation that we agree to allow the dis-
bursement of funds to the building owner subject to the Trustee's
concurrence. I believe that the HRA currently has sufficient
safeguards to require the timely payment of all rental payments
for the parking lot (i.e. the commencement of an unlawful
detainer). I also believe that the HRA does not have any right
to direct or utilize any funds contained within the Purchase Fund
and therefore has no interest in requiring the building owner to
maintain this fund.
I would appreciate it if you would have the HRA review these
items at their next meeting and to provide you with the necessary
authorizations in order to execute the necessary documents.

RE: Fridley Plaza Office Building
Dear Jock:
As you will recall, prior to the last HRA meeting we were
approached by the owners of the Fridley Plaza Office Building.
They made the following inquiries:
1. Would the HRA be willing to subordinate its
second mortgage in the amount of $39,999.00
to a new first mortgage, providing that this
new first mortgage does not exceed the original
principal amount of $1,500,000.00;
2. For our consent to the release of the Lease
Fund to the building owners; and
3. Our consent to the release of the Purchase
Fund to the building owners.
Enclosed for your reference you will find a letter dated
August 4, 1988 from Andrea M. Machmeier, wherein she has made the
same request on behalf of the Trustee.
At the last meeting of the HRA it was my understanding that
the Commissioners were comfortable with the subordination but had
not yet made a determination on the question of releasing the
Lease Fund and Purchase Fund. Consequently, on August 17, 1988
I made an inquiry of Ms. Machmeier in which I sought those items
which were requested by the HRA. On that same date I contacted
Larry Commers and further explained to him why I believe that the
HRA did not have any interest in either of these funds.
On August 18, 1988 I received a response from Mr. Commers in
which he indicated that he did not believe that it would be
necessary for us to obtain a bond opinion as long as Briggs and
Morgan informed us that they would release the HRA from any
claims.

Also on August 18, 1988 I received a letter from Al Malmon in
which he outlined the source and use of the various funds
involved in this closing.
In a telephone conversation with Al Malmon on August 31, 1988
he informed me that the Trustee will no longer be seeking the
consent of the HRA to the release of the Lease Fund and Purchase
Fund. Consequently the only item which the HRA needs to act
upon is the initial request to subordinate our second mortgage to
the new first mortgage, providing that this new mortgage does not
exceed the principal amount of $1,500,000.00. For the same
reasons which I outlined in my letter of August 2, 1988 I would
recommend to the HRA that in fact they consent to this
subordination and authorize you and the Chairman to execute any
documents necessary.

In reviewing the Briggs & Morgan letter of August 8,
1988 to Alvin Malmon and the excerpts from the Fridley
Indenture of Trust, it would seem to me, personally, that if
all rents have been paid and are currents that if in fact
the bonds are being redeemed= and if you are able to get a
release of the HRAs there would be no reason why we can
object to the release of the Lease Fund to the Trustee.
Further, with this additional information, I would be

Dear Dave:
I am enclosing for your information a document which I have prepared for the
partners of the Fridley Partnership, indicating the cash required at any
closing of the sale of the Fridley Partnership and the cash available to make
those payments as of July 31, 1988. The numbers of the funds required will
increase by about (15,000 a month for delinquent interest through September
30, 1989, and our taxes will increase by approximately 59,000 as a result of
having to pay another month's taxes, not having closed on August 1st. As you
can see, for each month each of these numbers would go up. With regard to
cash provided, because we have had an increase in interest rates since July
31st, some of the assets in the various funds have gone down in value, but not
by an major amount.
You will note that at the closing as of July 31st, it appeared as though the
owners had to put up an additional $137,000 out of their own pockets, in cash,
to close the transaction. We now believe that that number as of September 1st
will be over $150,000 and will go up by about $15,000 a month for each month
thereafter that we do not close. In addition, we will lose all our initial
investment in the property, substantial additional contributions of capital
provided to fund cash flow shortages during the six years that the property
has been owned, etc. Needless to say, it has been a disaster. I hope that
these numbers will be made available to the HRA and to the City to demonstrate
that we really must have the Lease Fund and the Purchase Account Fund released
in order to complete this sale. If we do not complete this sale, the
alternative would be foreclosure. In that event, as you so aptly said in your
previous letter to the City, the second mortgage of the HRA would be wiped out.
We agree with your position that the HRA will be in a better position with a
property that has no liens against it for back taxes and assessments, and a
mortgage of only $1,300,000, rather than a mortgage of $1,500,000.

RE: Fridley Plaza Office Project
Dear Ms. Machmeier:
'4�
On August 4, 1988 you made an inquiry of Virgil Herrick of
our office in which it was requested that the Fridley BRA would
authorize the release of all funds in the Lease Fund and Purchase
Account on the above Project.
As counsel to the.Fridley BRA I presented this request to
them at their August 11, 1988 meeting. At that time the BRA
declined to take any action on this request until additional t m
information was provided to them. It is my understanding a y
Memo of August 12, 1988 cfsthiseMe obeen provideddfor your James
review
for his review. A copy
as well.
It is the intention of staff to attempt to gather the infor-
mation requested so that it can be resubmitted to the BRA for
consideration at their next meeting on September Or 1988. For
this purpose I would request the following information:
1. The basis upon which the Trustee is requiring the BRA
to consent to the release of the Lease Fund and the
Purchase Account. In my review of the bond documents
I have not come across any requirement that the BRA
consent to the release of these funds. In fact, in
the past when we have attempted to direct the Trustee
to release certain funds frdm the Lease Fund for the
purpose of paying back rent, the Trustee declined to
do so. In light of the fact that in the past the
Trustee has totally ignored our request I am now at
-
a loss to understand why the Trustee is requiring
our consent to this transfer.
2. An itemization of the current balances in both of .
these funds. This itemization should include a
description of each contribution and an indication
as to the amount of interest which has accrued in
each account.

RE: Fridley Plaza Office Building
Dear Larry:
I am writing to you as a follow -up to the last meeting of the
BRA. At that time the Commissioners discussed certain requests
being made by the Fridley Plaza Office Building Partnership. In
response to certain questions which were raised, Jock Robertson
and myself are attempting to obtain additional information.
Enclosed for your reference you will find a copy of a letter
which I have recently sent to one of the attorney's representing
the Trustee.
An additional question raised by the BRA was whether or not
the bondholders were going to be paid off in full. Enclosed is a
letter dated August 8, 1988 from counsel to the Trustee to Mr.
Al Malmon in which the terms of the sale of the building were
reviewed. It is apparent that the intention of the Partnership
is to be pay off the bonds in full and the Trustee appears
willing to accept this proposal.
There are two issues which I believe cause the Housing
Authority the greatest amount of concern. First, whether t1}te BRA
has any right to any of the monies contained within the Lease
Fund. Secondly, whether the BRA is exposed to any liability from
the bondholders by consenting to the release of these funds.
In my letter to Ms. Machmeier it is obviously our hope that
the Trustee will agree to release the BRA and thereby make it
abundantly clear that the HRA will not be incurring any liability
by consenting to release these funds.
As to the second question, I have attached photocopies of
Sections 407 and 411 of Fridley Indenture of Trust between the City
of Fridley and Marquette Bank. You will note that in Section 407
there is a provision that any amounts in the Lease Fund in excess
of 570,000.00 -may be disbursed directly to the Partnership upon
Suite 205, 6401 University Avenue N.E., Fridley, Minnesota 55432, 612 -571 -3850

verification that all rent payments are current. Further, it
provides that in the event of a foreclosure sale all amounts on
deposit in the Lease Fund shall be transferred to the Trustee and
will then be disbursed pursuant to Section 405 and Section 605.
You will note that Section 407 does not make any provision for
disbursement to the Housing Authority.
I would also like to direct your attention to Section 411.
It indicates that after the bonds have been paid in full and
charges, fees, and expenses related thereto have been paid that
any amount remaining in the Lease Fund shall be paid to the
Partnership.
My question to you is whether or not this information is-,
sufficient or if you still wish to obtain the opinion of bond
counsel. My concern is that to obtain an opinion of bond counsel
will obviously require some time and the expenditure of some
funds. In light of the release which we have requested from the
Trustee together with the language contained in the Indenture, I
do not believe that this opinion is necessary. However, I also
want to make sure that the BRA has all of the information they
require so that they can act upon this request at their
September 8, 1988 meeting.
I would appreciate receiving your response at your earliest
convenience as to whether or not you still would like to obtain
the opinion of bond counsel. If I am unavailable you need only
leave a message with my secretary. Joan Black. I should also
add, that in light of the fact that Mr. O'Meara works for Briggs
and Morgan who represents the Trustee, I intend to contact Mr.
Kent Ritchie for the purposes of obtaining this opinion.
Sincerely yours,
David P. Newman

Re: Fridley Plaza Office Project
Dear Virgil:
Marquette Bank Minneapolis, N. A . (the "Trustee ") holds
certain accounts on behalf of the Fridley Plaza Partnership
(the "Partnership ") pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Indenture of Trust dated October 1, 1982.
The Trustee and the Partnership may reach a settlement
in the above - referenced matter. As I mentioned when we
spoke last week, we have taken the position that the written
approval and authorization of the Fridley Housing and Re-
development Authority is required prior to the release
of funds in the Lease Fund and the Purchase Account to
the Partnership.
We will need a letter from the City which authorizes
the Trustee to release all funds in the Lease Fund and
Purchase Account to the Partnership or the party purchasing
the property from the Partnership. The letter should also
state any restrictions or requirements, if any, with which
the Partnership or the purchaser must comply prior to release
of the funds. We will need this letter no later than August
11, 1988, in order to permit the Partnership to complete
the transaction within the schedule the Partnership has

RE: Fridley Plaza Office Building
Dear Jock:
I have previously forwarded onto you for review the Amendment
to Leasehold Agreement between the Fridley Plaza Office Building
Partnership and the Fridley BRA for the office building parking
lot. Enclosed herein you will find an Addendum to the proposed
Lease for the office building between the Landlord and the City
of Fridley. Because this Lease is conditioned upon the City
awarding contracts for the City hall remodeling project on or
before October 1', 1988, I now recommend that both of these Leases
be executed. You should then forward them onto Leonard Juster so
that he can initial all of the changes, execute the Addendum and
return to you one fully executed copy of both Agreements.
In addition, we have been approached by the owners of the
building about the issue of subordinating the BRA's second
mortgage in the amount of $39,999.00 to the first mortgage which
the buyer of the building will be taking out. Currently, there
is a first mortgage in the original principal amount of
$1,500,000.00 to which the BRA's second mortgage is subordinated.
Both Mr. Qureshi and I would recommend to the BRA that they
agree to this subordination providing that the principal amount
of the new mortgage does not exceed $1,300,000.00. Our reasoning
is that currently the first mortgage is in foreclosure. we
certainly would recommend against the HRA redeeming the current
first mortgage for the purpose of preserving its second mortgage.
Thus, if the foreclosure were to continue then the BRA would in
all likelihood lose its complete interest in the second mortgage.
It is to our benefit to work with the current owners so that our
second mortgage is not extinguished. Further, by setting a limit
on the new first mortgage in the amount of $1,300,000.00, the
amount of debt would be reduced to which our second mortgage was
being subordinated.

Finally, the building owners have asked the. BRA to authorize
the release of funds held in the Lease Fund and Purchase Fund to
the building owners. They have advised that there is approximately
$81,000.00 in the Lease Fund and approximately $16,000.00 in the
Purchase Fund.
The purpose of the Lease Fund is to provide to the Trustee a
form of security to ensure that the building owner timely makes
its rental payments on the parking lot. While the Indenture of
Trust is not clear as to whether or not the BRA can require the
disbursement of funds from this Fund for the purpose of making
delinquent rental payments, you will recall that in the past when
we have attempted to use this fund for the payment of delinquent
parking lot rent, the Trustee refused to release the funds to
you.
The Purchase Fund is to be used for the purchase of that
portion of the parking lot which the building owner has an option
on. Originally, this option arose at the end of thirty (30)
years. We have now extended the option to ninety -nine (99)
years. Since the right to purchase a portion of the parking lot
is merely an option, clearly the BRA cannot compel the Trustee to
disburse anything from this fund in order to require the purchase
of a portion of the parking lot.
It would be my recommendation that we agree to allow the dis-
bursement of funds to the building owner subject to the Trustee's
concurrence. I believe that the BRA currently has sufficient
safeguards to require the timely payment of all rental payments
for the parking lot (i.e. the commencement of an unlawful
detainer). I also believe that the BRA does not have any right
to direct or utilize any funds contained within the Purchase Fund
and therefore has no interest in requiring the building owner to
maintain this fund.
I would appreciate it if you would have the BRA. review these
items at their next meeting and to provide you with the necessary
authorizations in order to execute the necessary documents.
Sincerely yours,
David P. Newman

SUBJECT: NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS REGARDING COTTAGES DEVELOPMENT
At the request of the Fridley City Council, Arkell Development Corporation,
developers of the proposed senior housing project known as the Cottages, will
conduct informational meetings on September 6 and 7, 1988 for residents around
the proposed site. Notice of the two meetings was mailed by Arkell Corporation
to residents , Council members and the Planning Chairperson.
Concerned that a larger number of area residents be given the opportunity for
input regarding this proposed development, Councilmembers Dennis Schneider and
Nancy Jorgensen requested that staff expand the mailing list to include
additional area residents. Therefore, Community Development staff mailed notices
to residents outside Arkell's initial contact area.
John Arkell will be in attendance at the September 8, 1988 HRA meeting to
discuss both the development and the reactions of residents to the informational
meetings.

RE: Louis Lundgren
Dear Jock:
As you are aware, Clark Engineering recently served a Notice
of Mechanic's Lien on the property which was the subject of the
proposed development with Lou Lundgren. This property includes
both the property owned by Bob Levy as well as the property owned
by the Fridley HRA. In response to this you will find a letter
from Richard Diamond demanding that the HRA defend and indemnify
the owners of the Rice Plaza Shopping Center.
In response to Mr. Diamond's letter I drafted a proposed
response to the attorneys representing Clark Engineering.
Enclosed you will find a copy of Mr. Diamond's consent to our
sending this letter and in fact I have subsequently sent to the
attorneys for Clark Engineering a summary of our position.
My reason in writing is to seek direction from the HRA in
response to Mr. Levy's demand for defense and indemnification.
For reference you will find a copy of a letter that was sent
to Mr. Levy on November 19, 1985. You will note that at that
time we were asking Mr. Levy to consent to the preparation of a
site survey and that on behalf of the HRA I indicated that "this
work would be done at no cost to your father and he would not be
liable for any injuries which might result."
On November 20, 1985 I received from Mr. Levy a proposed
agreement. Under the terms of this proposed agreement which was
executed by Mr. Levy the proposed language stated that:
"Rice Plaza hereby consents to preparation of a site
survey for Plat 7. The City and HRA shall bear all
costs and be responsible for all damages associated
with that survey."

This agreement was never executed by the HRA. The reason is that
while the terms of this agreement were being negotiated and
redrafted, Mr. Lundgren's agents went on the site and did the
necessary work. By the time final language to an agreement was
agreed upon, the work had been completed and Mr. Qureshi then
elected not to proceed with the execution of the agreement.
While this agreement was never formally executed it certainly
was the intent of the parties to indemnify Mr. Levy for any dama-
ges that might result from the actions engaged in by Mr.
Lundgren. It was certainly based upon this verbal understanding
that Mr. Lundgren's agents were authorized to go onto the site.
Further, since it will be necessary to defend the liquor ware-
house building from the lien, the additional cost of representing
the Rice Plaza Shopping Center should not be significantly
greater.
I would appreciate it

Levy's tendered defense in

RE: Fridley Plaza Shopping Center/
Clark Engineering Co.
Dear Mr. Johnson:
'1".
:1 .
Please be advised that our firm represents the Fridley Housing
and Redevelopment Authority. Enclosed for your reference you will
find a Mechanic's Lien Statement which was recently served upon
my client.
On behalf of the property owners of the subject property I am
demanding this Mechanic's Lien Statement be immediately removed
from the subject property. While I do not represent Rice Plaza,
the owner of a majority of the subject property, I can assure you
that both property owners are emphatic that the filing of this
Mechanic's Lien Statement is illegal and constitutes a slander of
title to property.
I would like to direct your attention to NSA Section 514.01
which states in part:
"Whoever performs engineering or land surveying services
with respect to real estate, or contributes to the
improvement of real estate by performing labor, or
furnishing skill, material or machinery for any of the "
purposes hereinafter stated, whether under contract with
the owner of such real estate or at the instance of an
agent, trustee, contractor, or subcontractor of such owner,
shall have a lien upon the improvement ..."
At no time has Mr. Lundgren been the owner or the owner's agent,
trustee, contractor, or subcontractor. At no time has Mr. Lundgren
or any of his agents ever executed any contracts relating to the
purchase of the subject property. In anticipation that he would
acquire a legal interest in the property, Mr. Lundgren directed
your client to do certain engineering work: However, you need to
know that this work was purely speculative on the part of Mr.
-- Lundgren and at no time was he acting on behalf of the owners or
did he have an ownership interest in the property.

In December, 1985 the BRA did execute a Development Agreement
with Mr. Lundgren. However, in August, 1986 this Agreement was
terminated and Mr. Lundgren acknowledged that he had no further
interest in the Development. Consequently, any further work done
was purely speculative.
If in fact it is necessary to take steps in order to compel
your client to remove the Mechanic's Lien Statement from the
subject property, then we will also pursue a claim for reco've'ry
of our attorneys fees in bad faith.and also seek other damages
for slander of title. While I am certainly sympathetic with your
client's situation, if Mr. Lundgren has not paid them for the work
they have performed you also should not underestimate the be -lief
held by the joint property owners that the filing of this
Mechanic's Lien Statement is unfounded and illegal.
I would appreciate your advising me within the next seven (7)
days as to whether or not your client will voluntarily remove
the Mechanic's Lien from.the property or if it is necessary for
the property owners to commence appropriate legal action.
incerely yours,
David P. e n

RE: City of Fridley /Rice Plaza
Dear Mr. Newman:
a.
I am in receipt of your letter of August 25, 1988, with respect to our demand for
acceptance of a tender of defense in the above - entitled matter. I have also reviewed
your proposed letter of August 25, 1988, to Peter W. Johnson, attorney for Clark
Engineering Co. Please be advised that Rice Plaza is desirous of obtaining a formal
acceptance of the tender of defense at the earliest possible opportunity. Assuming that
there is no change in the lien situation, for example, the commencement of a foreclosure
of the lien, we will await the September B. 1988 meeting. In the interim, we have no
objection to your posting of the letter, as long as it is clear that Rice Plaza waives no
rights with respect to our position that the City of Fridley is solely responsible for
removing this lien from the property.
Thank you for your continuing cooperation.
Very truly yours,

RE: City of Fridley - Rice Plaza
Clark Engineering Co. Mechanic's Lien
Dear Mr. Newman:
Confirming your telephone conversation of August 22, 19881, with Robert A. Levy of
this office, this office is in receipt of a Mechanic's Lien Statement filed by Clark
Engineering Co. in the sum of $5,988.95, dated August 19, 1988. Apparently, this Lien
Statement results from their employment between November 11, 1985 and April 22,
1988, by Louis R. Lundgren and Lundgren Associates, Inc., in conjunction with the
proposed redevelopment of various property in your city by Lundgren. As you know, our
client, Rice Plaza, a Minnesota general partnership, owns property upon which the lien
purports to attach. Since the Housing and Redevelopment Authority ( "HRA ") of the City
of Fridley never obtained any legal or equitable ownership in the property, however, and
since Rice Plaza gave no actual or implied permission for the surveying of the property
by Lundgren, the lien has improperly attached.
As Mr. Levy informed you, Rice Plaza does not intend to incur any additional costs
in conjunction with this matter. It is our strong belief that the City of Fridley and the
HRA through the continuing actions of the HRA which have affected the occupancy and
use of our client's property has caused or permitted this lien to be filed. It is my
understanding that in January of 1986, Mr. Levy forwarded to you an agreement
negotiated between you and him, executed by Rice Plaza and specifically providing that
the HRA would indemnity and told Rice Plaza harmless from any costs or damages,
specifically including mechanic's liens, resulting from any action taken by the City, the
HRA, or their designees pursuant to the agreement, under which the HRA was permitted
to proceed with obtaining soil samples, a special use permit, a plat survey and a lot split
for a proposed development that would include Lot 1, Block 1, Sylvan Hills, Plat 7, Anoka
County, Minnesota. Although this Agreement was apparently never executed by the HRA
or the City, the HRA and the City proceeded as if they had obtained the consent of Rice
Plaza, and thus have waived and are estopped from asserting a defense to their
contractual duty to provide indemnification for this situation. In the alternative, since
the HRA was responsible for instructing Lundgren to proceed, Rice Plaza is clearly
entitled to indemnification under common and statutory law, not only for the amount of
the lien claim, but also for the costs incurred in having to defend aril /or remove the lien.

As previously stated, Rice Plaza has no intention of incurring any further costs in
the defense of this matter. Accordingly, please consider this letter a tender of defense
and demand for removal of the Mechwde% Lien from the property owned by Rice Plaza.
You may comply with this demand by immediately settling or paying off the lien;
commencing an action in the nature of an adverse possession action at your sole cost and
expense under Minn. Stat. S 514.10; applying to the court to post a bond in lieu of the
property for security on the lien under Minn. Stat. S 514.10; or otherwise proceeding
forthwith to remove the lien against the property. Failure to take immediate action may
or will result in a claim by Rice Plaza for slander of title to the property and collection
of all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Rice Plaza, if alternative action is required.

Pursuant to our phone conversation of yesterday you will
find enclosed a set of additional drawings which show where
the intended soil borings would occur. Also enclosed you
will find a copy of a letter from the City Planning
Coordinator. You will note that the City is aware of the
fact that Boring #1 is quite close to the sewer and water
line. As outlined in this letter, it is the intent of the
City to locate this line before the borings take place.
It is my understanding that you will' be preparing an
indemnification agreement on this matter. I would
appreciate it if you would forward it to me at your earliest
possible convenience.
We also discussed yesterday the question surrounding the
application for the special use permits and lot splits. It
is my understanding that you have agreed to cooperate' with the
City in consenting to these requests conditioned upon our
agreement that none of.these requests will take effect until
such time as the property is acquired. Additionally, we
have agreed that for purposes of determining value in
acquiring the property that any action taken pursuant to
these requests will not be considered. Again, it -is my
understanding that you will be preparing this consent.
Based upon our verbal understanding the City will be
publishing notice of the hearing of the Planning Commission
so that this matter can be considered by the Planning
Commission at its next meeting.
Finally, in our discussions we did not address the question
of your father consenting to the preparation of a site
survey. As noted in my letter to you of November 15, 1985,
this work would be done at no cost to your father and he
would not be liable for any injuries which might result.
Due to the fact that youphave been extremely cooperative, I
would assume that you have no objection to our preparing the
survey. If you wish, you may want to include the survey'in
your indemnification agreement that you are preparing for
the soil boards.
I have talked to the City and they have no intention of
acquiring the property before the end of the year. This
should alleviate any concerns which your father may have,_
about year -end tax planning.
Again, I would like to thank you for your cooperation.

As you will recall at the last BRA meeting the staff was
directed to work with your architect in considering a surveillance
system for the proposed parking ramp. Tim Turnbull of the Fridley
Police Department has been reviewing this with the architect and
it is their recommendation that the BRA retain as a consultant
the same individual who designed the surveillance system for the
Fridley Police Department. Mr. Turnbull informs me that the cost
of providing certain recommendations should not exceed $1,300.00
and that formal recommendations will be available in time to be
presented to the BRA at their September 8, 1988 meeting.
Jock left this morning on vacation and will not be returning
until after Labor Day. In light of the fact that Jock is not
available, Tim contacted me for the purpose of seeking authority
to authorize this consulting contract. In light of the concern
that the BRA has to ensure that the surveillance issue is fully
considered and further in light of the fast track that we are on
for the construction of this facility, I authorized Mr. Turnbull
to enter into this consulting contract.
Frankly Larry I am uncertain of my authority to do this but
in Jock's absence I felt that this was the decision that was most
appropriate. If you have any objection to my taking this step
please immediately contact me so that we can halt any further
work by the consultant.
Sincerely yours,
David P. Newman

between 73rd and Osborne; and traffic signal modifications. A brief
description of each in�provement cagy follows.
Intersection improvements will integrate the Fridley colored precast
concrete paving brick with a band of pazed-in -place omxmmt e. The brick
paving will occur at each of the intersection four quadrants and the median
nose tips. Far side intersection treatments will accommodate bus shelter
pads and waiting areas for transit patrons. Radius walls, appraadmately 30
mxIm high, are located in the same far side quadrants as per the enclosed
sketch. Landscape designs and plant materials choices have been
specifically chosen with the corridor's harsh in mind. The
landscaping will prwide seasonal color and pedestrian scale. Pedestrian
ramps will be located within each of the quadrants and median noses to
acco®o I handicap traffic. In addition, connections will be made to
; adjacent existing sidewalks. Calvert extension and filling will
be required at the 73rd and Osborne intersections due to University Avenue's
rural roadway design in these areas.
