The properties to be refinanced are comprised primarily of 4 -6 bedroom homes owned and operated by the Borrower as residences to provide support and services for people with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.155, Subd. 12, authorizes the issuance of refunding bonds by an entity other than the original issuer, with the consent of the original issuer. The CDA has requested that the City consent to the issuance by the CDA of the approximately $935,000 of the Bonds that will be used to refund the Prior Bonds. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota: 1. The City hereby consents to the issuance of the Bonds by the CDA for the purpose of refunding the Prior Bonds. The adoption of this resolution shall not be deemed, however, to establish a legal obligation on the part of the City or the CDA to issue or to cause the issuance of the Bonds. The Bonds, if issued by the CDA, will not constitute a charge, lien, or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the City or the CDA. The Bonds will be payable solely from said revenues and property of the Borrower specifically pledged to the payment thereof, and will not constitute a debt or pecuniary liability of the City or the CDA within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation. 2. The appropriate officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed to execute documents and certificates which are reasonably required by the CDA or its bond counsel to complete the transaction described herein. The execution of any instrument by the appropriate officer or offices of the City shall be conclusive evidence of the approval of such documents in accordance with the terms of this resolution.
