Resolution Approving an Interfund Loan for Legal and
Engineering Costs to be Repaid with Tax Increment,
Chanhassen Transit Station Project
BACKGROUND
The city has incurred legal and engineering costs associated with the development
of the Chanhassen Transit Station. By the time the project is complete, staff
estimates that the city will incur expenses of approximately $368,400.
Through adoption of the attached resolution, the EDA will authorize interfund
loans in an amount not to exceed $418,000. This amount is slightly higher in the
event that our estimate is too low. The interfund loans will be distributed from
the following funds:
· $168,000, Capital Replacement Equipment Fund (400); for the purchase of the
Railroad Depot land
. $77,500, Water Utility Fund (700)
. $52,800, Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund (701)
· $88,100, Storm Sewer Utility Fund (720)
If expenses exceed $368,400, the additional expenses (up to another $49,600) will
be transferred from the Capital Replacement Equipment Fund. Staff will inform
the City Council if this becomes necessary. The city will use future increment, to
the extent available, to repay these loans.
RECOMMENDA TION
The Chanhassen EDA authorizes interfund loans in an amount not to exceed
$418,000 (as detailed in the resolution), to be repaid with future tax increment
generated from the Chanhassen Transit Station project.

be financed on a temporary basis from available Authority funds.
1.03. Under Section 469.178, Subdivision 7 of the TIP Act, the Authority is authorized
to advance or loan money from any fund from which such advances may be legally made in
order to finance expenditures that are eligible to be paid with tax increments under the TIP Act.
1.04. The Authority intends to advance funds from various sources to pay
administrative and other costs related to the TIP District, and now proposes to designate such
advances as an interfund loan in accordance with the terms oftms resolution and the TIP Act.

Reoavment of Inter fund Loan.
2.01. The Authority may advance from time to time and from any available funds,
moneys to pay administrative and other costs related to the TIP District, in a principal amount up
to $418,000. The Authority will reimburse itself for such advances together with interest at the

Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 and Section 549.09, both in effect for calendar year 2010.
The interest rate will, without further action by the Authority, be adjusted on January 1 of each
year to reflect the greater of the rate specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 and
Section 549.09 in effect for that calendar year.

annually on each August I and February I (each a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first

other dates determined by the Executive Director, through the date of last receipt of tax
increment from the TIP District.
2.03. Payments on the Interfund Loan will be made solely from Available Tax
Increment, defined as tax increment from the TIP District received by the Authority from Carver
County in the six-month period before any Payment Date and not otherwise pledged to other
bonds, notes or obligations. Payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and then to
unpaid principal.
2.04. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this resolution is pre-
payable in whole or in part at any time by the Authority without premium or penalty.
2.05. This resolution is evidence of an internal borrowing by the Authority in
accordance with Section 469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIP Act, and is a limited obligation
payable solely from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this
resolution. The Interfund Loan shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State
of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, the Authority
and the City. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor any political subdivision thereof shall be
obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto
except out of Available Tax Increment. The Authority shall have no obligation to pay any
principal amount of the Interfund Loan or accrued interest thereon which may remain unpaid
after the final Payment Date.
2.06. The Authority may at any time make a determination to forgive the outstanding
principal amount and accrued interest on the Interfund Loan to the extent permissible under law.
2.07. The Authority may from time to time amend the terms of this Resolution to the
extent permitted by law, including without limitation amendment to the payment schedule and
the interest rate; provided that the interest rate may not be increased above the maximum
specified in Section 469.178. subd. 7 ofthe TIP Act.
Section 3. Effective Date. This resolution is effective upon approval.
Adopted this 22nd day of February, 2010.
