BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota ( the City ) , as follows : Section 1 . Recitals 1 . 01 . On October 1 , 1985 , the City adopted Resolutions 85- 224 and 85-225 ( the Resolutions ) , pursuant to which , among other things , it ( i ) adopted multifamily housing programs for Prairie Village Apartments , Phases I and II ( the Programs ) , after holding a duly notice public hearing thereon; ( ii ) authorized transmission of said housing programs to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency; and ( iii ) preliminarily approved two bond issues for Prairie Village Apartments, Phases I and II ( herein collectively referred to as the "Projects " or the "Project" ) , each in the amount of Two Million Two Hundred " Twenty-six Thousand Dollars ( $2 , 2.26 , 000 ) . 1 . 02 . The Programs were submitted by the City to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency for review and approval , and on December 19 , 1985 , the Board of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency adopted Resolution No . MHFA 85-71 , in which it was stated that the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency had failed to reject the Programs , resulting in approval of said Programs , pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.C . O4, subd . 2 . 1 . 03 . The Resolutions provided that all commitments of the City stated in those Resolutions were subject to the condition that by October 1 , 1986 , the City and Mandara Company, a Minnesota corporation, or a limited partnership of which it will be the general partner (Mandara ) must have agreed to mutually acceptable terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement pursuant to which Mandara was to agree to pay to the City principal , premium, if any , and interest on the bonds or notes pursuant to which the Projects were to be financed, and of the other instruments and proceedings relating to said bonds or notes and their issuance and sale . 1 . 04 . No such agreement was reached among the City and Mandara, and no extension of the October 1 , 1986 , date was approved by the City . It .is , therefore , necessary for the City to approve the proposed bonds and notes to finance the Projects and to approve a revised housing program ( the Amended Program) relating to the financing of the Project , after a duly noticed public hearing relating to the adoption of said Amended Progra:Ti . 1 . 05 . At the time of adoption of the Resolutions, Mandara contemplated the Project would be developed in two phases , one phase of market rate rental housing, and one phase of housing for elderly persons . The development of the Project in two phases as providea above depended upon whether Mandara could obtain approval from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) to include one of the two phases of the Project in a MHFA Bond issue . Mandara has not obtained such approval from the MHFA, and now intends to finance Phases I and II of the Project with only one issue of bonds or rotes . Prairie Village Limited Partnership, a Minnesota limited partnership ( the Developer ) , whose general partner is Mandara, intends to develop the Project . 1 . 06 . Under Minnesota Statutes , Chapter 462C, as amended ( the Act ) , the City is authorized to issue and sell revenue bonds or obligations to make or purchase loans to finance one or more multifamily housing developments within its boundaries . 1 . 07 . Representatives of the Developer have advised this Council that the Developer proposes to construct a multifamily residential housing development on approximately eight and one- quarter acres of land owned by the Developer , located just east of the northeast corner of the intersection of Highway 5 and County Road 4 in the City , composed of 112 apartment units and other functionally related and subordinate facilities and to operate the facilities as a multifamily housing development under the Act , to be known as Prairie Village Apartments . Either ( i ) at least twenty percent ( 206 ) of the units will be specifically reserved for tenants whose incomes are no greater than fifty percent ( 500 ) of the area median income ; or ( ii ) at least forty percent ( 4W.I ) of the units will be specifically reserved for tenants whose incomes are no greater than sixty percent ( 6000 ) of the area median income . Determinations as to whether a unit meets the requirements of ( i ) or ( ii ) , above , will include adjustments for family size . Development and financing costs of the Project are presently estimated by representatives of the Developer to be approximately Seven Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ( $7 , 200 , 000 ) . 1 . 08 . Representatives of. the Developer have requested that the City issue its revenue bonds or other_ obligations in the approximate aggregate face amount of Five Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ( $5 , 750 , 000 ) ( the Bonds or Notes ) , pursuant to the Act , and make a loan of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or Notes to the Developer for the acquisition of lard for and the construction and equipping of the Project, subject to agreement by the Developer , or other persons or institutions , to promptly pay the principal of , premium, if any , and interest on the Bond or Notes . 2 . 1 . 09 . The City has veer. advised by representatives of the Developer that conventional commercial financing of the costs of the Project is available only on a limited basis and at such high costs of borrowing that- the economic feasibility of the Project would be significantly affected , but that with the aid of municipal financing the Project will be more economically feasible . 1 . 10 . This Council has been advised by representatives of The Chicago Corporation , representing the Developer, that on the basis of information available to them, the Project is economically feasible , and the Bonds or Notes could be successfully issued and sold . 1 . 11 . Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing powers of the City nor any property of the City will be pledged to the pavment of the Bonds or Notes . The Bonds or Notes are to be paid from the revenues of the Project . 1 . 12 .

The adoption of this resolution does not constitute a guarantee or a firm commitment that the City will issue the Bonds or Notes as requested by the applicant . The City retains the right in its sole discretion to withdraw from participation and accordingly not issue the Bonds or Notes should the City at any time Prior to the issuance thereof determine that it is in the best interest of the City not to issue the Bonds or Notes or should the parties to the transaction be unable to reach agreement as to the terms and conditions of any of the documents required for the transaction . 1 . 14 .
