Each payment on this Note is payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which on the date of such payment is legal tender for public and private debts and shall be made by check or draft made payable to the Redeveloper and mailed to the Redeveloper at its postal address within the United States which shall be designated from time to time by the Redeveloper. The Note is a special and limited obligation and not a general obligation of the City, which has been issued by the City to aid in financing a "project ", as defined in Minnesota Statutes Section 469.174, of the City consisting generally of defraying certain capital and administration costs incurred and to be incurred by the City within and for the benefit of its Redevelopment Project ( the "Project"), and Tax Increment Financing District (the "District ") .

Staff believes that the benefit allocation to CSM Corporation is 15% and to DataSery is 15% based on traffic /trip generation. Since CSM Corporation is fronting the cost of constructing the road without interest in years 1998 and 1999, we estimated this to be approximately $20,000 in benefits ($140,000 x 8% = $11,200 x 2 years = $22,400). DataSery would receive 15% of the benefit for the road or $21,000. This would be deducted from the city's three year incentive program when DataSery comes in with their future building expansion. In reviewing the financing, staff feels that the costs would be equal whether the city or CSM built the road. The benefit of having CSM construct the road is that they could complete the project in 1996. If the city constructed the road, construction would have to wait until 1997 because of our prior commitments to 1996 public improvement projects. The city council should also be aware that staff has received several phone calls from the City of Eden Prairie, employees of DataServ, Eden Prairie residents that live in the area, and developers asking when Dell Road will be completed. Their concern is that the current road alignment is unsafe and a potential liability. Based on these concerns, staff recommends that CSM Corporation finish constructing Dell Road in 1996. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Private Redevelopment Agreement with CSM Corporation and their request for $401.914.60 in city assistance and an amount not to exceed $140,000 plus $22400 in interest for reimbursement of the construction of Dell Road.

If the project comes under the estimated amount, they would only be reimbursed for the dollars spent and interest would be reduced to the amount actually spent.
