RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY, AUTHORIZING THE
ISSUANCE OF $9,650,000 AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS (FRIDLEY 100 LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP PROJECT) DATED AS OF DECEMBER 28, 1983, AND
APPROVING THE FORM AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF
NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.
WHEREAS, the Municipal Industrial Development Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
474, as amended (the "Act ") , declares that the welfare of the State of
Minnesota (the "State ") requires active promotion, attraction, encouragement
and development of economically sound industry and commerce through
governmental action to prevent, so far as possible, emergence of blighted
lands and areas of chronic unemployment, and it is the policy of the State to
facilitate and encourage action by local government units to prevent the
economic deterioration of such areas to the point where the process can be
reversed only by total redevelopment through the use of local, state and
federal funds derived from taxation with the attendant necessity of relocating
displaced persons and of duplicating public services in other areas; and
WHEREAS, the Act further finds and declares that such governmental action is
required by technological change that has caused a shift to a significant
degree in the area of opportunity for educated youth to processing,
transporting, marketing, service and other industries, and unless existing and
related industries are retained and new industries are developed to use the
available resources in each community, a large part of the existing investment
of the community and of the State as a whole in educational and public service
facilities will be lost, and the movement of talented, educated personnel of
mature age to areas where their services may be effectively used and
compensated and the lessening attraction of persons and businesses from other
areas for the purposes of industry, commerce and tourism will deprive the
' community and the State of the economic and human resources needed as a base
for providing governmental services and facilities for the remaining
population; and
WHEREAS, the Act further finds and declares that such governmental action is
required by the increase in the amount and cost of governmental services and
the need for more intensive development and use of land to provide an adequate
tax base to finance these costs; and
WHEREAS, the City of Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota (the "Issuer ") is
authorized by the Act to enter into a revenue agreement with any person, firm
or public or private corporation or federal or state governmental subdivision
or agency in such manner that payments required thereby to be made by the
contracting party shall be fixed and revised from time to time as necessary so
as to produce income and revenues sufficient to provide for the prompt payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all bonds issued under
the Act when due, and the revenue agreement shall also provide that the
contracting party shall be required to pay all expenses of the operation and
maintenance of a project, including, but without limitation, adequate
insurance thereon and insurance against all liability for injury to persons or
property arising from the operation thereof and all taxes and special
assessments levied upon or with respect to the project and payable during the
term of the revenue agreement; and
