NEW BUSINESS•
5. APPROVAL OF POLICY ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS FOR THE REISSUANCE
OF INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS:
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this proposed policy
would establish an administrative fee of 1.5 percent and an escrow
account. The escrow account would use an index similar to a
� Treasury Bond. He stated that the proceeds placed in escrow would
be solely used for the capital improvements on the applicant's or
the guarantor's property.
�
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 24, 1992 PAGE 5
� Councilman Schneider asked about the "arbitrage bonds."
Mr. Pribyl stated that the Internal Revenue Service has determined
there is only a certain percentage of the bond issue that can be
used for administrative fees, and if this percentage is violated,
the issue becomes taxable.
Councilman Schneider stated that in this reissuing process a lot
of people such as the underwriters, attorneys, and professional
consultants receive fees for their services, which are not limited,
and yet, there are limits placed on the City. He stated that he
does not understand why the taxpayers have a disadvantage, as it
seems the Internal Revenue Services' regulations provide for
everyone else but the City to benefit.
Ms. Stephanie Galey, Holmes and Graven, stated that over time there
has been more and more of a perception that people are "making out
as bandits" and a tightening of all the requirements. She stated
that the costs cannot exceed two percent, as previously there was
not any limitation of any kind. She stated that this limitation
applies not only to the private bonds but any bonds the City would
issue.
Councilman Schneider questioned if the underwriter's fees were
� reduced if this would result in more revenue for the City.
Ms. Galey stated that these are separate restrictions and would not
be the same as the one-eighth percent.
Councilman Schneider asked Ms. Galey at what rate she would be
reimbursed for a bond issue.
Ms. Galey stated that her time is billed at $160 per hour.
Councilman Schneider asked if the City could justify that their
time was really $160 per hour if that counted as part of the
one-eighth percent.
Ms. Galey stated that the City can collect out-of-pocket expenses.
Mr. Pribyl stated that his involvement is with the bond counsel,
and that he does not get involved in the generation of any of the
figures.
Councilman Schneider felt there should be some way that some
revenues could be recouped for the public.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that if the Council approves this
policy he suggested two changes in the document in order to
� strengthen the City's legal position. He stated that one change
is on Page 5A, Item 1, line 2, to add the words "of the issue��
0
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEHRUARY 24. 1992 PAGE 6
� after the word "amount��, and under Item 2, line 3, substitute the
word "shall" for the word "will."
Councilman Billings stated that staff has come up with a policy
that will enable the City to generate revenue on something that has
not been done in the past, and he is hearing negative comments.
He stated that he felt staff has done the best possible under the
rules of the Internal Revenue Service.
Councilman Schneider stated that he was not trying to put down City
staff but felt a way may be found to maximize the benefit to the
City.
Mayor Nee stated that he liked the concept of the escrow and asked
what would be accomplished from the community's point of view.
Councilman Fitzpatric]c felt that even though the gain is limited,
it is better than the past policy.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the City always has the option
of not issuing the industrial revenue bonds. She stated that she
felt the City has to look at some creative bookkeepinq methods in
order to insure that the fees cover the work.
� MOTION hy Councilman Billings to adopt the policy relating to the
reissuance of industrial revenue bonds. Seconded by Councilwoman
Jorgenson.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to amend the document as follows:
Page 5A, Item 1, line 2, add the words "of the issue" after the
word "amount" and Item 2, line 3, substitute the word "shall" for
the word "will." Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE MAIN MOTION, Councilman Billings,
Counoilwoman Jorgenson, Councilman Fitzpatrick and Mayor Nee voted
in favor of the motion. Councilman Schneider voted against the

6. RESOLUTION N0. 18-1992 GIVING PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO A
PROJECT UNDER MINNESOTA STATUTES. CHAPTER 469. SECTIONS
464.152 THRQUGH 469.165 AND AUTHQRIZING PREPARATIQN QF
NECESSARY DOCUMENTS:
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this proposed bond issue
would be for $2,750,000 and adoption of this resolution would give
conceptual approval to Columbia Park Properties for refinancing.
He stated that if the resolution is adopted Bond Counsel will draft
� the appropriate documents for approval.

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FESRUARY 24, 1992 PAGE 7
� Councilman Schneider stated that the underwriter who is workinq on
behalf of Columbia Park Properties receives a$15,000 fee. He
stated that, in addition, there are other fees for the trustee,
attorneys, underwriter management, takedown, etc. He questioned
the fee the City's law firm would receive.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that it is a small percentage,
and their cost would be about $125 per hour.
Councilman Schneider stated that some revenue for the City is
better than none, but it seems wrong that others are collecting
more than what the City receives.
Mayor Nee stated that it seems the argument may be with the
Internal Revenue Service and their regulations.
MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to adopt Resolution No. 18-1992.
Seconded by Councilman Billings.
Councilman Billings stated that about two years ago he was unhappy
with Columbia Park Properties hecause of actions they took on
purchasing the office buildinq adjacent to the Municipal Center.
He stated that the manner in which this purchase was made was not
in the normal manner of purchasing the property. He stated that
� they purchased the first mortgage on the property and proceeded to
foreclose on that mortgage. He stated that the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority had a second mortgage on that same
building. Councilman Billings stated that the actions taken by
Columbia Park Properties to acquire the first mortgage put the HRA
in a position of coming up with thousands of dollars to protect a
$40,OOD investment, and the HRA ended up negotiating a deal for
about $17,000 on what was to be a$40,000 mortgage.
Councilman Billings stated he made the statement that Columbia Park
Properties better never come and ask for a favor. He stated that
he finds himself in an extraordinary position because they are
asking for a favor. He stated that the Council, however, just
passed a policy that indicates if we do this favor, the City,
through the one-eighth of a peroent point override, will stand to
benefit about $21,000, and he now has to sacrifice his personal
pride and take back the statement that he would not do them a
favor. He stated that he has to do the favor in order to get back
$21,000 for the City. He stated that his loyalty to the citizens
of Fzidley is stronger than what Columbia Park Properties did in
the past.
Councilman Schneider stated that he does not intend to support this
resolution. He stated that he felt Columbia Park Clinic is a fine
citizen, but, as a general polioy, he will not support any of the
� reissues of industrial revenue bonds until someone figures out a
way for the taxpayers to get their fair share of the fees as do the
attorneys, bond counsel, underwriters, etc.
