DeJong, Finance Director(~! June 17, 2003 Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds The City of Chanhassen is being asked by Presbyterian Homes Minnesota to hold a public hearing regarding a resolution authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds. This process is necessary for them to obtain financing for their senior care units in Villages on the Pond. The project will require bonding in the amount of $27,300,000. The City of Chanhassen and the City of Victoria actually issue the bonds and lend the proceeds to Presbyterian Homes. We then contract with a bank to act as trustee on our behalf. The bonds will be repaid through a combination of rental revenue from the project and tax increment generated in TIF District 8. This resolution does not obligate the City to any tax levy or repayment because these bonds only commit the revenue stream of the project for repayment. This allows the developer access to favorable interest rates because of our tax-exempt status to reduce the overall cost of financing the project. This resolution was prepared by our bond counsel, Mary Ippel from Briggs & Morgan, who represents us in the transaction. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution as presented and hold the public hearing on July 14, 2003.

(the "Borrower") that that the project described below be assisted by the issuance of revenue bonds under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C. The project consists of the acquisition, construction and equipping of an approximately 161 unit elderly housing development located at the Southeast comer of the intersection of Highway 101 and Lake Drive in the City. The Borrower will initially own and operate the Project. The maximum aggregate estimated principal amount of bonds or other obligations to be issued in one or more series to finance the Project pursuant to the housing finance program will be $27,300,000. It is proposed that the City of Victoria, Minnesota, would issue the bonds or other obligations to finance the Project or, alternatively, that the City would issue a portion of the Bonds in an amount not to exceed $8,800,000. The City has been advised that Council approval of the Bonds by the City of Victoria, Minnesota is required under Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code because the Project is located in the City. Subsequent to approval of a housing finance program, the City or the City of Victoria, Minnesota may issue revenue bonds to finance the housing finance program. Said bonds or other obligations, as and when issued, will not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance upon any property of the City, or its housing and redevelopment authority, except the Project and the revenues to be derived from the Project. Such bonds or obligations will not be a charge against the City's general credit or taxing powers but are payable from sums to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to a revenue agreement. Further information concerning the housing finance program and the Project may be obtained from the City Manager during normal business hours. At the time and place fixed for the public hearing, the City Council of the City will give all persons who appear at the hearing an opportunity to express their views with respect to the housing finance program and proposal.
