� which was a follvwup t:o t-he HRA's earlier reques� �o him wi�h respec� �o �he
refund of cer�ain por�ions of �hh.e �ax incremen� fund to �he school
dis�ric�s.
Ms. Burt staied tha� since the las� mee�ing, Mr. O'Meara had ccene �o �,he
Ci�y and revi�raed th.e borid arrangenen�s tha� were made wit:h the bonds �hha�
were sold ar.�d hvw they rela�ed tr:o �,his change in t,he �ax law. There are
�hhrree situati.ons �ha� can occur. C��egoxy 3 str:ated �hat if �he distric�s
are certified after �he last day of the bond sale, we will au�cuna�ically
have �o provide tha� mor�y lx�cac �o �he Srhool Dis�ric�. The reason for tr�his
is that we were mt planning on �hose funds when �he bonds were sold, so, in
esser�ce, we did rn� need �han.
Ms. Burt sta�ed situa�i.ons 1 ar.�l 2 are a lit�le bit different in tha� �,he
dis�ric�s tha� were certified previously have bond requirenents for which
�,lae increnen� was being pledged for the debt sezvice on those bond.s.
Ms. Burt s�ated �ha� due �o the fac� that a couple of �he HRA's major
developmen�s have m� gor.� �hznugh, they are mt gainir� the ir�crenen� �,hey
had proj ected. in on those proj ec�s; �herefore, th..�y do no� have �he funds
they origirally �hought �i.ey would have to pay �he deb� service on those
bonds. So, �hey need �o find o�her �urces.
Ms. Bur� s�a�ed Mr. Pribyl and s�aff's rec�anenda�ion, along with Mr.
O'Meara's, was �hhat �hey do make the paymen� �o �h.e School District for
n circ�mstar�e #3. Ur�forturrately. �ha� dollar a¢noun� was quite snall, $1, 674.
The reason for �-h.is is �hha� �,he �vo distric�s �ha� i� appl ies �o are j ust
beginnir�--�he Wirifield District and �he Shorewood Dis�rict. As of this
poir.� in �ime, �he Shorcaood Dis�ric� is not ger.�ra�i.r�g arly incr�n.en�. I�
will begin ge�rati.ng incranent next year; bu�, again, tha� amount will be
snall. The Wir�ield dis�rict is ger.�ratir�g a snall amaunt of increnen�.
Ms. Burt stat.ed they sYwuld look back in a year on �he o�hh.er distric�s and
at tha� tame i.f t:he develognents are goir.tg a li��.le bi� str�nger, maybe �hey
can come up with �-he op�ion of working in coopera�ion wi�h �he School
Dis�ric� �o ge� tr�hen sane more mone�. But, right now, it would be uriwise
for �.he HRA �o do any�hing like tha�-because �hc-y need the mor.� �o pay �,he
debt seYVice on �he borx7�.
Mr. GaYmers sta�ed �,hat, as he ur�derstood it, �-h�r j ust have a vezy small
am�unt �hey are requi.red under the law tro re�urn �o �he schQOl districts,
and �ha� was $1,674, and i� was st;aaff's and t:he a��orr�y's reca�¢ner�da�i.on �o
do �ha�. As far as the otr�her alterna�ives of returning money, those were
mt sta�u�ozy requi.renen�s but were discreti.orrazy; ar�d, it was staff's and
�he at�orr.�y's recaY¢Y►enda�ion �Lhat wi�,h. regard �:o �hose alterna�ives, �th.�y
would mt re�usn any moriey a� �his �ime.
Ms. Burt s�ated tha� was correc�. They have pledged �hat money to the
borxx�holders, ar�d they have an obliga�ion to �.he bor�dholders firs�t.
^ Mr. Casserly stated Nls. Bur� had suYUned �he si�ua�ion up vezy succinctly.
The poir� �ha� is being made is �ha� because of �he s�age of develognent,

Mr. Go�lon Sangs�er and Mr. Jim Furgason fran School Dis�ric� 14 were in �he
auciience.
Ms. Burt sta�:ed ac�ually �-he $1, 674 was for School Distric� 16 . There was
m money for School Distric� 14 at this time. The Shorevaood Disirict was
�he only developmen� in School Dis�ric�t 14, aixl there were ru� bor�ds pl edged
in �ha� dis�rict.
Mr. Sangs�er s�ated he was a li�tle confused about �hh.e tuning arxl had sane
qu�stions abou� it.
Ms. Burt stated Mr. Pribyl had at�enpted �o con�act sane peaple fran Schaol
Dis�xic� 14 to go over this wi�h thsn, bu� was unable to do so before he
wen� on vaca�ion. She sta�ed staff could go over this in more dep�h wi�h.
�he School Dis�rict represen�a�ives a� ar.��her �ime.
Mr. Caruners s�ated tha� if �,here was scane issue on th,e tiuning and what
ir�renen�s should be taken in�o considera�ion arid which increnen�s should
r�t, he would suggest �-ha� sta.ff arrange a mee�a.ng wi�-h the Srhool District

Mr. Rober�son ar�d Ms. But� agreed wi�h Mr. C.at¢ners' sugges�ion.

2. Q�NSIl�ERATIDN OF LUU LUI�IDGREN P1d��SAL:
Mr. Rober�son s�a.ted that a good stimunazy of �,he sta�.us of this proj ect
appeared on ager.r7a �ge 1-F which was th.e second �age of Mr. Nc�aman' s Augus�
5, 1988, le��er. The th.ree it�ns lis�ed were �Y�.e itens of f inancial
assis�a.nce �ha� Ntr. Lundgren says is needed:
(1) a let�er of credi� for $700, 000;
(2) addi�ior.al firar.�cir� in �he approx. amount of $2,300,000; and
(3 ) ir.�er�� or wri�e-dawn of 2 1/4% on a l�n of $'1.922, 7 00.
Mr. Rober�son s�:a�ed �hat fmn �he �ame in Jarwary when the let�er of credi�
wa� due, Cen�ennial Mortgage was �he chief financial underwri�er and had
ir�di.ca�ed that if there was arly problen wi�h. �,he financing package Mr.
Lundgren had proposed, they could make that up with some equity
par�icipa�ion from an equi�y pool. As the HRA could see, in the
quasi-acceptance by Cen�enni.al N.�r�gage, �hat was r�� included; �herefore,
^ what �-hey had all h,oped in �eenns of a f irar�ial �ckage had r.�t occurred.

r'1 Mr. Robextson stated �hat because �Yi.ey have m� made subs�an�ial progress,
i�-was m� only his judgenen�, bu� also Mr. Newman's and Mr. Casserly's
callec�i.ve judg�nnent, tha� even �hough Mr. Lundgren has made a sincere
effor�, he has failed ar�d �hat the HRA should �eennir�a�e their relationship
wit:h him and cash his let�er of credi�.
Mr. Rober�son sta.�ed Mr. Lundgren Y�as requested �ime t:o explain his posi�i.on
mo�e fully, �o explain his letter, and to speak �o Mr. Newman's Aug. 5
let�er.
Mr. Lundgren stated he could r.�� coaenen� specif ically on Mr. Ne�anan' s 1 e��er
da�ed. Aug. 5, 1988, because he had rn� seen it before �h.is mee�i.ng. He had
r�o� received his c�py. -
Mr. Lur.�d.gren sta�ed he was disappointed tha� Cen�er�nial Mor�gage had no�
cane up wi�. �he size mor��ge and/or �he �r�icipating mor�gage �,hey had
assured hun and �he Ci�.y �hey wauld do. Ha�ever, �hey did cane up with a
mort�ge piroposal, and �he HRA had �ha�.
Mr. Lundgren s�ated he had explained �o s�aff �hat he believed �h.e �hree
itens lis�ed in Mr. Ncranan's let�er can be ��ained before he would close.
He sta�ed he ha.s asked for nine specific poir�s in his le��er dated Aug. 4,
1988, to �he HRA to find ou� where �,he HRA s�ood on certain things.
Obviously, i.f �he HRA was seeking sane mor�y, he had to ]tr.� wha� �he amoun�
was; ar.�d., depending upon how �Y�.e HRA would respond to �hese gar�icular
n questions, �hat amount would vazy.
Mr. Lurxigren s�a�ed. he believed he would need �o have scxc►e real evidence
�ha� tr�h.e HRA had �-he ability �o have land contr�xol, and he �hought any otlzer
develaper wi�1�. any ot�her mor�gage finn would rec�uire �-he same. He �uld m�
pu� a package togeth.er }aased on tr�h.e timing of certain th.ings and then let it
si� for 120 days. They have ac�ual cons�ruction bids, and thc� have aleady
kep� �h.em on 65 c�ays. He mi�i� be able �o keep �h.ea a li�tle longer, bu�
only with �he sub bidder's consent. He believed he was vezy close. He
believed he had a proj ect �,h.e HRA �.nd the Ci�y wan�.s for �-his si�e: He
believed �here was m evider�e tha� he Y�ad ex�er�ded in any fashion, in tesxns
of spendi.ng money or �ame, �h.e exposition of ge�ting t,he �-hings th,a� were
required.
Mr. Lundgren s�ated witlz him a� �,he mee�ing were June Lundgren; Rober�
Silvennan, his a��orney; Kevin Jensen, Presiden� of �he State Bank of
Spririgf ield; and Alan Rouse, one of his associates.
Mr. Lundgren s�a�ed he would like �:o have �he HRA discuss the nirae poir�s he
ha.s lis�ed in his le��:er. He did r�� expec� �,he HRA to say "yes" �o all of
then, bu� he would like an answer to each point, and he would like an
extension. He st:a�ed he did no� �hink the HRA would find arzy other
developer -wh� has worked harder on �hhis proj ec� �-han he has, but more �ime
was r�eeded to consunmate �Y�.is particular proj ec�. He was reques�ing an
ex�ension of 60 days. And, he �Yiought s�aff should be instructed �o work
^ ou� a develognen� ag.reanent.

� Mr. Robertson s�a�ed. tha� before �he HRA could enter into a develognent
agreemen� wi�h P2r. Lur�d.gren, �he HRA had �o have sane numbers, hvw �h.ose
rnunbers were going �o work, and �he level of assistarice �,he HRA could
prwide for �his p�roj ect.
Mr. Lundgren s�a�ed he appreciated that. He was no� asking for tr�hen �o
enter ir.�o a development agreanen�; he was askir�g then �o discuss and work
out a develognen� agreanen�.
Mr. Catmers s�ated he felt evezy i�en listed in Mr. Lundgren's let�er had
be�n discussed and gone over in de�ail before wi�h Mr. Lur�dgren.
Mr. Rober� Silver�nan s�a�ed he has been working with Mr. Lundgren since N6ay
1988. He s�a�ed he did r�t have all �he his�ozy of �he proj ec�, bu� he has
been follawir� �rt of it. Mr. Lundgren's Aug. 4�-h. let�er v�as responsive �o
th.e con�inued requests fran s�aff asking for his proposal. And, Mr.
Lur�dgren was saying what his proposal was based on Center.mial's canmitment.
There have been plans, ar�d Mr. Casserly has made runs on �he rnunbers. He
s�ated �he only r.aanbers he had seen which Mr. C�sserly had concluded in May
were no� feasible, were based. upon �he assunption �hat the Cii.y was goir�g �o
put in an $850, 000 parking garage. Tha� garage was not part of Mr.
Lundgren's proposal ariymore. So, �o 'the ex�ent �ha� Mr. Casserly's ntunbers
shvw �ha� �he proj ec� is ir�easible based. upon $850, 000 �kia� is m� goir.ig to
be spent, he would suggest �laat Mr. C�sserly go back and rerun the rnm►bers
based upon Mr. Lur.�d.gTen's preser� proposal.
,..� _ -
Mr. Silveanan sta�ed �ha� bo�h he and Mr. Luridgren had m� seen Mr. Ne�nan's
le�ter until 5 minutes before �he me�ting. Mr. Newman's let�er made
reference to an. �rlier proposal fnzn Mr. Lur�.gren asking �he City arnl �he
HRA if �hey would facilitate �h.e firar.icing 3�i helping Mr. Lungren wri�te down
�.h.e rate, there]oy increasing the amount. That was still a part of Mr.
Lundgren's wish, bu� �hey would uriders�and �ha� if �h.e City could n�ot do
that, if the HRA is ur�aillirig to partici��e, thEy would have �o f ind scgn.e
o�her source tr;o do �hat. The� were workir� on doirx� �ia�.
Mr. Silvernian s�a�ed �h� agree th�it i� has been a long �ime, but �h� have
been workirx,� on �he pxoj ect. They firlally go� �,he mor�gage ca�uc�i�nen� in
la�e July. As soon as �,hey get one se� of �r�aeters, �hey have �o fir�d out
wha� �he o�her �r�ame�ers might be. Based upon what �lze mort�ge cai¢nii�nen�
said �o �hen, Mr. Lundgren had written to �he HRA ar�d asked �hen to consider
those 9 pc�ir�s.
Mr. Silveanan st:aa�ed it was �rrec� �-ha� the Ci�y and the HRA have the lega.l
righ� t�o acquire title �o �-he property essen�ially after 90 days after
filing �he pe�ition and quick-take. Bu�, 90 days fxrm August 1.1�,h was not
October 1, arx3 i� was �st the da�e when Cen�ermial has reques�ed �ha� Nlr.
Lurad.gren have lar.id con�rol and close.
Mr. Silvernnan st:a�ed �hat a� �he mee�a.ngs he has at�ended, there has been a
reluctar�e on �he part of city s�aff �o cac¢ni� �o go aut and get the larid.
^ Unders�aar.r7ably, �hey wan� �o ]cr.�v a li��.le more abou� �he proj ect, bu� �he
Ci�.y has mt ever�. star�ed �the corx3enra�i.on procedure. They have asked. the
-5-
HOUSIlQG & RID�TEGDPT� AU�30RITY MEETIlVG, AUG[7ST 11, 1988
� Ci�y �o begin rngo�a.ations wi�h �he land avr�r to f irrl out what �he price is
going �o be, but as far as �hey kr.�w, �he City or tl�.e HRA has m� done tha�.
�, yes, �hey can pu� the proj ec� �oge�her in 90 days easily, bu� they need
�h.e willir�r�ess �o do it, and i� was difficul� for �he developer �o c�unit
himself �o close �he mortgage in 60 days if �h.e land is not going �o be
con�rolled for 90-100 days. Obviously, witr-hou� �he land, m mor�gage can be
closed.
Nir. Silvennan s�ated that regarding �he road locations, i� was his
ur.�erstamling �-hat staff has had det;ailed full working drawings for sane
time, ar�d saneone can estimate wha� �Yie cost of all the public improvemen�s
might be. Again, that was �r� of �he proposal, bu� they have r.�� heazzd the
Ci�.y or �he H1?A say, yes, tYi.ey wi.11 do tha�.
Mr. Silvezman sta�ed. the �aax �ymen� for $900/unit was wha� �he mortgage was
processed on, ar�d if �,he �axes are going tr:o 1� more, �-l�.ey should know �,ha�.
They have done sane s�udies and presented th.em �o staff saying $900 per uni�
per year represen�s �h.e marke�. 'I'ha� is goir.� to genera.�e °x" dollars worr�hh
of tax increnent, ar�d �hat is ei�her enough or r�� enough for th.e City �o
partici�te by writir�g down th.e land and doing th.e public impravanents.
Thc� have mt received an answer tr:o tx�at poir�.
Mr. Silvernnan stated regazdi.ng the let�er of credit, wl�� was �he purpose of
th.e let�er of credi� arrl whe�her or rnt it has �en sezved. by t:he thousarids
and �housar�ds of dollars �-hat Mr. Lundgren has spen� on �he proj ect and his
� cat¢ni�xnen� �o �-he proj ec�. Mr. Lur�dgren has worked on �he proj ec� for in
excess of �vo ymrs, ar�d he coi�irnies �o show good fai�h �o con�iir�ue workir.�
on �he pmjec�. If �he le��er was �here as a good fai�.h deposit �o prove
that Mr. Lur.id.gren was goir� t:o �a.y to arnple�e �-he proj ect, he has me� tha�
�es�. -
Mr. Silvelman sta�ed wi�h respec� to proceedirx� wi�h develagnent con�racts,
�hey agreed. to do that.
Mr. Silvernnan s�tated tha� regarding the second mor�gage, �he presen�
develognen� con�rac� says Nir. Lundgren wi11 give the HRA a second mortgage.
They canrao� do t��at under �hhi.s firrarlcing proposal. If the Ci�y insis�s upon
a second mor�gage and is not going �o get enough money f rom the �ax
ir�crenen� �his pxvject genera�es, �lic� canr�� do �he Cen�ennial firrancing
Proposal.
Mr. Silvenc�an st:a�ed it was discussed earlier that tY�.is proj ect arld o�her
pr�jec�s have mt yet created sufficien� taxes �o pay �he school dis�ricts
and to help the borxis. Tha� was �rue, bu� �he real question was: Vr1as any
oth.er develaper goir.�-to do it any quicker? Mr. Lundgren has pu� in two
y�rs woxth of ef'for�. He l�s full workir� draw�.ngs, full plans arrl specs,
a con�xac�or on boaxd, and a mor��ge can¢nitrnent, even �hough i� is no� �lie
bes� mor��ge ca�rQn.i�men� in �he world. He is still saying he wants �o do
�he proj ec�. They can proceed �o work coopera�ively with �he HRA ar.�d Ci�y
Staff, but sf �he HRA says, sorr.iyy, �-he pnrject is over, he did no� �hink the
^ Cib�i was going �o ge� a bet�er develo�anent, or any develo�anen� at all,
quicker �han �hey would in cont:irniirx3 t:o work wi�th Mr. Luridgren.

HOUSIlQG & 12��TE[DPL�'�L�FI' ALP�iORl'rY N�PIlQG, AUGUST 11, 1988
� Mr. Grnc¢ners stated �ha� if Mr. Lur�dgren is allowed. �o go fozward wi�h �he
proj ec�, he has to obtain san� kirrl of addi�ioral firar�irr� in th.e amount of
$2, 300, 000. WY�� type of protec�ion would �he Ci�y have if �hey au�horiz ed
Mr. Lundgren addi�iona.l time �o do �hhat, and in �he mean�ime, the Ci�y
started �:o take �he proper�t.y?
Mr. Silvennan sta�ed tha� was a hard �iming question �;o answer. Obviously,
�he City would prefer m�t �o aaqui.re the lar�cl un�i.l �1he proj e�t is to�ally
put �ogether. On �he other har�d, t-he longer �ime �he HRA takes before �hey
aaquire the iarx3, �he less apportunity Mr. Lundgren has to get firaricing arrl
�:o arrange �he equi�.y. It seened �o him �he Ci�.y has the oppor�uni.�.y, and
it was not inconsister�.� with other caYmnuni�ies �hat have policies �o take a
"blighted area" arad s�i.r up develognen� by aoquiring th.e larad in advance of
a develognent pr�posal. He did no� ]rnow if �hha� was �h.e Ci�ty of Fridley's
policy, bu� i� was ce�ainly a way �o proceed. I� would �ake a lot of
ur�certair.�.y ou� of the pr�ject fnzn Mr. Lundgren's standpoir�.
Mr. C.a�runers asked if Mr. Lur�dgren believed that wi�hin 30 days he could came
up wi�-h. sanething �o caver �h.e addi�ioral equity �Yiat is required.
Mr. Silvernnan stated Mr. Lundgren was certainly workir.�g on i�.
Mr. Meyer asked why aaquiri.r� �,he lar�d was such a cri.�ica.l poir� in �emis of
Centennial having an agreament con�ingen� upon �he land being available.
Does Cen�ennial always have �o have a deed in har.�l before �Y�.�y sign a
ca�itrnent? Couldn' ��hey just say, "upon aaquiring �he larrl, Mr. Lundgren
shall ge� �he mor�gage �i�men�°. . . ?
Mr. Silvennan sta�ed Cen�ennial requires �his to happen by Oc�. 5.
Centenni_al has catanitted a fixed in�erest ra�e at 8 1/4°a, but they won' �
ca�ni� it �s� Oct. 5.
Mr. M�er s�a�ed CentenniJal l�ws i� is going to �ake �.he HRA 90 days �o
aoc�uire �he lar.�cl, ye� �he� are sayir.� �hc-y r�eed �he canmi�anent in 60 days.
What kir�d of catmitrnen� is that? He s�;ated he �hh.ought Cen�enni..al was using
this as a play to ge� ou� of a commi�ment. He stated he was very

s�a�ed abou� Mr. Lundgren and his good fai�h and credi�, bu� he was
disappointed in �e whole process of �h.irigs arx3 �ha� �his was a riever er�dir.ig

Mr. Canmers stated �ha� in all practicali�y, �,he HRA probably canno� get

owning �he proper�y, -but �hey backed away frcan i� when �h� found �he

and beirig laradlorrls.
Mr. Casserly s�a�ed trhe pznblan was more serious �han was being said. This
is not a market rate mor�gage. This is no� a problem where �,h�y have

� differer.�ce if �,his ccmmitr�nen� ran �o Dec. 1, Jan. 1, or Feb 1, because the
catmi�n.en� was n�� very mmningful.
Mr. Silvernian sta.�ed he was m� defer�dir� Cen�ennial, and he saw the same
prvblens �he HRA ar�d s�aff were raisir.�. He did su]�ni� i� was a s�aar�ing
poir.� to see if �-hc� can make �he proj e�� work.
Ms. Schr�l asked Mr. Lundgren �,ha� if he was unsuccessful in obtaini.ng
additioral firar.�ir.� in �he amount of $2,300, 000 by Oct. 5, did he have a
con�ingen� plan a� tha� �ime?
Mr. Lur�dgren sta�ed, yes, he was workir� on al�erra�e sources of funding bu�
he was not prep3red �o discuss �hose a� �his �ime.
Ms. Schnabel sta�ed i� would seem �o her �ha� if Mr. Lurrlgren canno� ob�ain
�h� addi�iorsl $2,300,000 by Oct. 5, Cen�enni.al's d�adlir�e, �ha� Cen�ennial
will pull its canuni�nen�, and Mr: Lundgren will be ]�ck a� square on+e.
Mr. Lur.idgren sta�ed his �ao al�ernate sources of furxiing would not rely on
�,he Cen�ennial mor�gage.
Mr. Fasnussen s�a�ed he fe1� �his has just gor.te on for �oo lor.� a time, and
he �hought �hc� should �ermirste the r.�ego�i.a�ions mw. As dras�ic arrZ harsh
as i� sour�c7s, he �hough� it was �ime �o call it qui.�s.
��--� Mr. C`asserly sta�ed �rt of �h.e problan wi�-h �he ar�alysis in �eenns of �xxyir�
tr:�o -de�ennir�e what is available is tha� �his is a�nstr:antly moving �aarge�.
Origirally, when �hey were talkirx� abou� taxes beir�g 51,350-1,100 per uni.t;
they were then �alking abou� a parking s�ruc�ure being in, sometimes
u�ilities are in, sametimes u�ili�ies are out, and public improvenen�s.
When the sugges�a.on was made �a� �he market rate would only sus�ain $900
per uni� in taxes, a� �-ha.t �ime �he dete�nina�ion was made �ha� �he
develagnen� be responsible for th.e �rkir� s�ructure, arad the taxes would be
reduced dawn to the $900 level �o �.iy �o make this project work on a market
ra�e l�asis. These are c:ons�an�t].y mwing kir�ds of thir.�s. I� vTas importan�
to poir.� out �ri.a� �hc� do mt do a r.iav run �very time they have a varia�ion
when sane�hir.x� is suggested.
Mr. C�sserly st:a�ed, more impor�an�ly, �,hey have been looking a� o�her
op�ions and. �.he developer has been looking at other op�ions, and he has
brough� a rnanber af people in�o �he process. Th� had ra�kher an extensive
mee�a.r�g on July 20, 1988, when �Yi.ey were �old that �he project was going to
be shor� of ftiu�ds and Mr. Lundgren was going �o need same kir�d of subsidi.zed
in�erest ra�e. The praspec� was raised a� �ha� mee�ing �hat a very
in�eres�ing and very innavative fimncing schene be suggea�ed. It was
outl.ir.�d in P�1r. Neyanan's le��er, ar�d i� was ir�dica�ed �hat the Ci.�y could
m� be nega�ive or posi�ive in �ernns of �ha� package b�cause it was pu��ing
�,he HRA in the posi�ion of issuing essentially a$9 1/2-10 million borid
issue and having that be g�rar�eed.. It was an interes�ing concept, bu�
staff could r�t see �he HRA want.ir.� -�o get in�o �-ha� �art of �he fimncing.
�`i Mr. Casserly sta�ed staff sugges�ed, however, that �h.is method. of firrancing
-8-

� has been done, and if �he developer could provide staf f with more
ir�omia�ion on haw �his would work, staff would be happy �o review i� ar.�1
presen� it to �he HRA, ber.ause it was �hought a� �hat �ime trhat �he mor�gage
anani�nen� was rx�� going �o be adequate. However, tha� infozmation was
r�ever received. Maybe staff was a li�tle bi� too nega�i.ve and maybe i� was
detennir.ied ]�r �,he d�velaper that i� was no� worth pursuirag.
Mr. Casserly s�a�ed several meetir.gs were h�ld las� week and �he prnblan was
�hi.s s�mple: The pivj ec� was $2, 000, 000 shor�, and �he ir.�eres� rate was 2
1/4pa utxler market. He just did m� ]tnow how anyone was goirig t:o be able �:o
make up those deficiencies. I� migh� be possible wi�h some kind of
ir�eres�ing partici�tion process which was discussed in March, April, and
May. Bu�, i� was r.�v August�, and �hEy are s�ill l�king a� po�ential
�r�ici��ion and �xying �o figure aut who is going �o firance �he project.
Mr. Silveanan s�ated he wauld �r�ur wi�h Mr. C�sserly �t�a� �his is a moving
�arge� ar�d was goir.� �o con�irnie to be a mavir.� t;aarge�. If rx��hhirx� else, a�
least Cen�ennial Mor�gage Y�as st:aabilized one of the mwing th.ings, and now
i� was �he responsibli�y of �,he developer �o go foiward and see what he can
do.
Mr. Silvernnan s�a�ed that wi�h. regazd �o the inr�ava�i.ve proposal, i� was a
pz�posal �-1�.ey would er�ourage if tr�he Ciiy and the H RA f el � go�l about i�.
He would c�te fran Mr. Newman's let�er �o Mr. Rober�son dated. July 21:
'�oth. Jim (Casserly) ar�d I expressed in vezy clear �enns our disappoinbznen�
� in this proposal arid our belief �hat in �,he curren� poli�ical cl�ma�e and
wi�h our curren� deadlir�es that we are ex�renely doub�ful �hat ei�her the
Ci�y Council or t:he HRA would approve �h.is proposal. " That was a pre��y
r.�a�ive sig�l fran �he Ci�.y. If it was a prop�osal tr�ha� was viable and the
staff ar.s3 HRA wanted �o pursu� i�, it would solve a lo� of problens.
Mr. C.nY¢ners asked wha� �he str;atus was on Mr. Luridgren's le�ter of credi�.
Mr. N�mian s�;a�ed the let�er of credi� matured. on Nlonday, Augus� 15.
Mr. Kevin Jensen, Presider� of �he S�a.�e Bank of Springfield, s�aated �he
Bank would be willing �o ex�end �-he let�er of credit �o give Mr. Lundgren
sane acldi�ioral time �o keep workir� on the proj ect. Th� have worked vezy
closely wi�,h Mr. Lundgren, and it was �he Bank's belief �-ha� there was
poten�ial for �,his proj ec� and that Mr. Lundgren can put �he proj ect
�toge�her shor�ly . If he did not f eel tha � way , he woul d not be a��he

Mr. Jensen sta�ed that regazdir.x� �,he July 20th mee�ing, he ha.d obt:ained a

Mr. Lurr].gren would li.ke to make.
Mr. Lundgren �hanked �he HRA menbers for �heir ccenplimen�s. He s�a�ed he
ha� spen.� in excess of $1/2 million on tY�.is proj ec�, and he was rio� a

�he second. issue was no� quite as hard and fas� as �he first issue.
Mr. Caiuners s�a�ed �he sense of t1�.e mo�i.on was �ha� �he HRA does intend �o

and/or Mr. Silveanan and citr.y staff ar�d the HRA a�torney, and there was sane
proposal for sane �ar�ial amount of �he money �o be returned, �hey would
have to cane k�ck �o �he HRA for a decision. She did no� �,hink �he HRA
wan�ed �o extend �hha� �ime period. for ar�o�h.er-30 days. The bet�er solu�ion
would be to cash �he let�er of credit, ar.id then have �ha� discussion in 30
days.
Mr. Me�er s�:a�ed �Yia� if �hey do cash �he let�er of credit on Monday, �he
S�ate Bank of Springfield mus� �hen proceed against Mr. Lurldgren in sane
fashion which migh� cause a$200, 000 harrlship �o Mr. Lunc�gren. If �here is

� defici� pzoj ec�. They did r.�� see ariy way a� tha� time �ha� th.e proj ect
would pay lx�ck in �axes what would be required for inves�men� up fron�. Th.e
HRA direc�ed staff and Mr. Casserly to work ou� scane addi�ional analyses
given upda�ed infornna�ion-fmn bo�h developers and �o ccane back with sane
firal coriclusion on whetr�her this was going t:o be a defici� proj ec� arid. h�v
much of a defici� proj ec� it might be.
Mr. Rob�rtson stated abou� a week arrl one-half ago, Mr. Casserly con�ac�ed
him and said his aralysis ir.dicated �,here mi�t be a d�.fferent niunber �ha�
migh� be involved in an acrquisiti.on of a kc� parcel. A� tha� �ime, s�aff
�ook �-he ini�i.a�i.ve to hire a consultan� �o get an est�mate on what �he
cor�denration pnxedure might 3� on �1�a� key ��el.
Mr. Robertson s�a.�ed he and Mr. Casserly me� yestezday morning with one of
�h.e develapers �o ge� scgne clarif ica�ion on �he proj ect. Mr. Casserly
finished �he arralysis las� night ar�d was ready �o give his-repor� a� �h.is
meeting.
Mr. (�sserly handed ou� copies of his August 11�h, le��er. He s�a�ed that
be�a.use of �he questions raised a� �he last mee�ir� abou� - th.e rnm�bers used
for acquisition and reloca�ion and because �he HRA was a lit�le
uncanFortable wi�h �hose rnxnbers, �he Ci�y's consul�ant was asked �o do a
vezy quick aralysis. The fi.xttures ar.rl reloca�iom m�nbers were averages. He
sta�ed the or� prop�rl.y tha� was significant].y different was �h.e Rapid Oil
property. Before, �h� were using aoquisi�ion and reloca�i.on costs of $705
/"'� and $725-and now �hey have �Y�a� down to $581. On �he �,hird spread sheet
- at�ached �o his let�er a� �h.e bottan of the page was �h.e rnmiber $776,500
($622,500 for aaquisiti.on, reloca�a.on costs, arsd various o�her costs plus
$154, 000 for ir�rastruc�ure, reloca�i.on involving wa�er, sanitazy sewer, arxl
stree�) . That was �he rn.unber he used �o determine how much �his proj ect
could sustain. He stated they would be getir� $350, 000 for paymen� of �h.e
lar�d. In order for the pr.nj ec� to er�d up wit:h 5776, 500, addi�ioral revenue
r�eci.ed during �he life of that dis�.ric� was $412, 000.
Mr. C`asserly stated �ha� if his suns were accuYa�e and �hey ge� 5350, 000 for
�he land, �,he HRA was going to have �o pu� in $412, 000, ei�her �hrough
special assessnen�s or sane�-hing.
Mr. C�sserly st;a�ed �-h,e second spread shee� was �hhe sau►e excep� in t;his
scenario, �here was a$400, 000 payment for th.e land, and if the developer
pays 5400, 000, additioml r�venu.e needed was $294, 000. The final spread
shee� shawed wha� happens if �here is a$450,000 developer pa.yment for �he
larrl, �hen �,here would be abou� $176,000 in �he dis�ric� over i�s life.
Mr. C�sserly s�a�ed he was sugges�ir.� �,his pxoj ect can z ero ou� and can be
desigr.�d so �here would be m additiorsl reveriue required by tlze HRA. 'I'here
were a wlwle varie�.y of �hhings t1�at could happen: (1) they could exterrl the
distsic� by a year; (2) �,hey could get a 1i��1e larger developer paymen� or
have a snall amaunt of i� for speci.a7. assesstnen�s; (3) th.ey cauld look a� a
little different ir�flati.on fac�or. He had used a fairly moderate orie a� 3�.
� Mr. Casserly sta�ed �here was also �he possibili�y �xia� �,he infrastructure

� expen.ses might be less than $154, 000. Public Works gave him a range of
$75,000-5154,000 �o work wi�.h.
Mr. Casserly sta�ed he did not think before that �he develo�xnen� could
su��aain itself because of �he higher rnunbers he was usi ng. So, his
recar¢nemlation was �hhat the HRA proceed wi:�h the proj ect only if -�,he proj ec�
can be made to balar�ce which would re�uire r� ou�side HRA mor�--�hat i� be
a self suppor�irig develognen�.
Mr. Robexison s�a�ed �riat staff was convinced �ha� ei�,her develaper pro�ably
has �he whea�rai�-l�all ar�d exp�rience �o pu� �oge�Y�.er a°doable" proposal. As
suggest�l by Mr. C�asserly, �he desizable course would be for �h.e HRA to-pick
a developer to proceed wi�h. txyir.� to pu� toge�h.er a viable proposal �hat
wauld essen�ially pay for i�self wi�h more specific c�uni�nen�s, give the
develaper a deadlir.�, and if �he develaper canm� meet �hat deadline, then
�hey would go wi�h ar.ro�her developer.
Mr. Robertson s�a�ed that since both developers were represen�ed a� the
me��ing, �he HRA might want �o call on then for further clarifica�ions on
�heir �hi.rakirrig abou� �he pzoposal as reviewed by Mr. Casserly.
Mr. Bill Fogerty, Wir�ield Develo�an.ent, stated they are willing �o spend
monc-� on this proj ec�. He st:a�ed �hey have been vezy busy with ano�her
proj ect, but he fel� �h�y had proceeded �o do everything �he Ci�y had
required �hen to do. He sta.�ed tr�hey do l�ave a laank for th.eir major �enan�,

�he secorx3 floor.
Mr. Fogerrtyy sta�ed �hey have a vexy hi�. quali�y, attrac�ive, develoisnen�
for �his site, and he did think �,hey would be able to put �he proj ec�
together wi�hin t:hree mon�hs. Wi�hh.in 45 days �h.ey would be willing to
pzopose a$50, 000 let�eer of cret�i� or wha�er the HRA deaned r�ecessazy.
Mr. Joe Cattners, JLP, sta�ed �h.ey were vexy enthused abou� entering in�o a
deiini�i.ve agreanen� for �h.e develognen� of the 57�h Place site. They have
been vezy aggressive in workir.�g for �Y�.e City and the HRA. They did all �ha�

up wi�h 67% of the total gackage, leavir.� a couple of lo�s arrl a duplex �hat
is on �he n�rke�.
Mr. Joe Cataners sta�ed tha� at the last HRA meeting, he had talked abou� th.e
fa�� �hat if �he HRA v+ras able to pay cash for public �mprovanents, based on
$150, 000, it would make abou� a$300, 000-400, 000 d.ifference. If �-he public
impro�vemen�s were closer �o $100, 000, �he difference would be even more
substan�ial.

bo�h existing and new. They have done �hese kinds of autamotive
develapmer�s before. I� was �-h.eir opinion tha� what Rapid Oil is used �o
seeing is all �ie way fzcm. $8-10 per s�re foot on these snall parcels of
pr�perty. JLP really ques�ions �-he prac�icali�y of believing tha� withou�
just a real laat�.le tha� �hese cos�s can be achieved and tha� Rapid Oil can

Nir. Robertson st:a�ed th.e ques�ion abou� �-he HRA using �ax incremen� furids
foY the construc�ion of �he Civic Cen�er parking ramp was put to Mr. Jim
0'Nl�ra. In Mr. 0'Meara's first reply da�ed July 25, he made an asstun��ion
which p�oved to �be in error in �e1ms of the �ime �he bonds were sold. He
correc�ed tha� in his August 5 le��er in which he sta�ed: "I� also appears
r�ow �hat frhe concep� is �hhat �he HRA's cos� under this program would be
fwxled a� least in par� fzrm excess pnxeeds of the 1985 tax. increneen�
bor.�cl. "
Mr. Rober�son s�a.�ed �hat af�er revi�ivir�g �his apini.on with Mr. Neyanan, �hey

issuar�e of a tax exenp� ir�crenen� bond.
Mr. Robertson s�ated Mr. 0'Meara fur�her sta�ed in his August 5 le��er:
".:l�owever, �hose prior bor�ds have significantly more lenien� res�ric�ions
i�i-the several areas I ment;iorred in my prior le�ter, arid we feel hopeful
�ha� tha� can be clone wi�hou� any pmblens. "
Mr. Rol�rtson s�a�ed �h� will probably need Mr. O'Meara's assis�ance �o
guide �-hen in subsequen� ac�ions. -
Mr. Robertson sta�ed Mr. 0'Meara had drafted a resolu�ion for the HRA's
considera�ion (ager�cla-page 3-F) . In an�icipation of �he next i�em
(Considera�on of Bids for Cons�ruc�ion of Plaza Ramp) , he would point ou�

wa� ge��ir� ren� fran �.t�.� office buildirig, tltiat raises ques�ions about �ax
exemp� f irar.�cir.�.
Mr. C�sserly st:a�ed i� had �o do wi�h t:he percen�age as it rela�es �o �h,e
de�� sezvice of �,he mor�gage. If more �hhan 10� is used for priva�e
busir�ss, �h.en it fails �he pri�ra�e purpose �est. He did not believe �,his
was a problen in �his ins�ance. At �he time �-he bonds were issued., �he

Mr. Cba4ners s�:ated this also raised �he ques�ion (regarding Mr. Newman's

Mr. l�snussen s�a�ted a ques�ion he had was regardir.� security in �he ramp.
^ Mr. David Kzoos stated the lighta.r.� level inside �h.e r�np would be the first
co�cern for security, and tha� was adequately cavered. The o�h.er �hing
�allted abou� a� a previous mee�i.r� was th.e consideratioa of sane pain�ing
inside �he r�aic►p �o increase �h.e li�it level. This was an iten �,hey were mt
able �o ge� in�o �he base bid package b�cause of the �iming, bu� was

�alked about placir.g securi�y c�neras ir.�side �he ramp wired �o �,he Pol ice
Departrnent, so that was an op�ion. He s�ated they do have one camera
located a� �,he 1Qblay poin� �o the lower level, bu� there are no cameras
ac�ually placed in.side the ramp �,hat are wired to the Police De�rbmen�.
N1s. SGhrabel suggested the possibili�.y of cameras being placed at any point
wh�re peaple would access �he laver level of �,he r�anp. She, �oo, was very
cor�er.r.�d. abou� securi�y in the xamp. She s�a�ed-as a woman, i� was a
�errible thir.� to �rk and be afraid. �nrl, no mat�er where she parks, she
is afraid. ��
Mr. Jim Hill, Public Safeby Direc�or, s�a�ed �he HRA members have �o realize
�t, obviously, any�khirig is possible, but �his is Fridlc�, r�ot Minr�eapolis,
ar�d �hi.s is only a or� level raanp, not a multiple level �np. 'I'here will be
