to Minnesota Statutes/ Sections 469.152 to 169.1651/ as amended, at the request of Emergency Foodshelf
Network, Inc. and approving forms of documents in connection therevvith
Requested Action
This is a public hearing to consider the enclosed resolution approv:ing the issuance of a bond not to exceed $2
million ror Emergency Foodshelf Netvvork at 8501 54th A.venue North.
Policy/Past Practice
In the past, the EDA has approved the issuance of revenue bonds for other tax exempt agencies for
improvements to be made at facilities in New Hope.
Background
On August 22/ 2005, the EDA approved a resolution scheduling a public hearing on September 12/ 2005
regardi11g the potential issuance of a bond for Emergency Foodshelf Neh,vork (EFN) in an amoUl1t not to
exceed $2 million by the New Hope Economic Development Authority. At that meeting, staff indicated that
some of the proceeds vV"ould be used to make improvements to the EFN facility in Nevv Hope located at 8501
54th A venue North as \vell as refinance existing debt used to originally purchase the property. Staff indicated
that EFN had made the necessary application with accompanying fee in the amount of $500 and a $5/000
deposit to cover any city consultant expenses. City staff explained that the city's typical fee for the issuance of
a bond is V2 of 1 % of the bond amount. EFN \^Jill be required to pay the city $8/500 to $10/000 if the issuance of
the bond is appro\7ed by the EDA. The final amount of bond fees ,,\Till be determined once EFN has
determined the final bond amount; howe.ver, it will not exceed $2 million.
Originally/ the propert}T vvas oY\rned by Red Wing Foods and in 2003, a petition "vas made to subdivide the
outlot on that property so that it could be sold to Master Transfer for the de\Telopment of the site into a
support facility, for their operations. That petition was approved and the Master Transfer facility is currentl}T

under construction. In Marcl1 2004, EFN acquired the property from Red \tYing Foods 3l1d petitioned the
COUl1ty for tax exempt status 011 the not for profit uses withill the property. A small portion of tile property is
leased to a non-exempt user and that portion is required to pay property taxes. The followlllg is a srunmary
of the property value and taxes paid.
Pay 2002 taxes on single site [included Red Wing Foods & outlot (now Master Transfer)]
$2,100,000 total value - -$88,142 total taxes .....$21,834 New Hope portion
Pay 2003 taxes on single site [included Red \t\Ting Foods & outlot (now Master Transfer)]

Pay 2004 taxes on sirtgle site [included Red Wing Foods & outlot (now Master Transfer)]

Estimated Pay 2005 taxes on EFN excluding Master Transfer property
$245,000 total value - -$8,407 total taxes -$2,041 Nevv Hope portion
Estimated Pay 2005 taxes on Master Transfer property excluding EFN property
$500,000 total 'value - -$18,661 total taxes -$4,550 New Hope portion
The propert~y 'value at Master Transfer V\Till significantly increase as the pa)' 2005 tax rate is only based on the
land value as the construction of the new facility had not been initiated when the assessment of the property
vvas completed. Using an estimated value of $1.75 million after the completion the ne,,\! facility, the Master
Transfer facility ,viTI generate approximately $69,000 in annual taxes and New Hope vvill collect
approximately $17,000 of that total tax levy.
Per the direction of the EDA, city staff contacted EFN to determine ho,,,T the proceeds of the bond issuance
V\Tould be used. The city's bond counsel indicated that it is anticipated that $1.2 million \vill be used for
refinancing of existing debt and $600,000 will be used for building improvements.
As a foIloV\T up to the EDA meeting, city staff conducted a meeting "vith representatives with EFN to discuss
the potential payment of a Payment in lieu of Taxes (PILOT) if this bond issuance is approved by the EDA.
The representatives \vith EFN indicated that the payment of such a PILOT V\Tould limit their abilif:]r to
continue to serve the number of area residents that experience hunger. EFN provides food and other services
to NEAR a local organization serving New Hope residents. City staff suggested that the representatives with
EFN discuss this matter with the EDA at the public hearing.
Recommendation
City staff recommends that the EDA close the public hearing once all interested parties have had the
opportunity to discuss this matter "vith the EDA. Upon closing the public l1earing, city staff recommends that
the EDA approve the enclosed resolution authorizing the bond issuance in an amoU11t not to exceed $2
million.
If the EDA/City Council want to revieV\T and discuss the current policies regarding bond sales, city staff
recommends that the EDA approve the bond issuance in the amount of $2 million under the procedures and
policies that have been used in the past which require EFN to pay the typical application fee in the amount of
T<.ect LteS t for l\ ctlOfl. SepteTTiber 200.5 F'J ~e .3
lj
$500, deposit $5,000 \V"ith t11e city to cover c011sultant expe11ses and pay 1/2 of 1010 of tl1e fU1al b011d issuance in
tb.e amount of $8,500 to $10,000.
City staff would recommend that the EDA and City Council direct staff to review the bond issuance fees in
other communities and report that inlormation to the City Council and/or EDA at a later date. City staff could
also ,,\rork with the city attorney to de\Telop a PILOT policy for tax exempt properties that request a bond
issuance on their behalf by the City Council and/or EDA.

The Emergency FoodsheIfNetwork (EFN) is a nonprofit organization that collects,
warehouses and distributes high quality food and essential support services to
Minnesota hunger relief organizations.
Our family of programs include food banking, food rescue, supplemental nutrition for families and
seniors, and customized support services such as infrastructure, equipment, and technology
for hunger relief organizations.
Our network of 180 member agencies provide more than 7 million pounds of nonperishable, perishable
and prepared food to over 1 million hungry individuals annually.
In 2004, 92 cents of every $1.00 raised was spent directly on our programs and only 3% of our revenue
was spent on funclraising. Through donations from the community, we provided over 9 million dollars in
benefits and savings to our members last year.
Below is a list of services we provide through ourfamily ofprograms:
Food Support Proflram - EFN distributed over 633,000 pounds offood to its member agencies at no
charge in 2004. This saved our network of hunger relief organizations $1,300,000 last year.
Bulk Food Purchasinfl Proflram - For those hunger relief organizations looking to supplement the free food
they receive, EFN purchases quality food items in bulk at the lowest possible prices and make it available at
or below retail prices. Last year, organizations purchased over $1,000,000 offood, which allowed them to
save $406,000.
Fare For All Proflram -Offers food packages to families looking to stretch their food-purchasing power.
Each month, participants pay $17.00 and receive $40.00 worth of quality fruits, vegetables and meats. In
2004, this program distributed 662,000 pounds offood to 116,000 people, saving them nearly $750,000.
All Seasons Food Rescue Proflram - Collects and distributes perishable food (that would otherwise go to
waste). In 2004, this program rescued and distributed over 90,000 pounds of free food to local hunger
relief organizations, saving individuals and families $280,000.
High Rise Proflram - Distributes supplemental food to subsidized housing complexes _ the majority of
the residents are senior citizens. In 2004, EFN delivered 313,000 pounds of food through this program.
Support Services - In 'our continuing effort to support hunger relief organizations, EFN provides additional
free and subsidized services such as: systems support for the Toys for Tots program, volunteer services,
grants, equipment repair, and delivery services. These services saved agencies nearly $5,000,000 in 2004.

Re: Proposed Revenue Note for Emergency FoodShelf Network, Inc.
Dear Kirk:
The City has received a request from Emergency FoodShelf Network, Inc. (the
. uCorporation.") that the Economic Development Authority in and for the City of New Hope (the
"EDA") issue tax-exempt revenue bonds under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.1.52 to
469.165) to finance and refinance improvements, including acquisition and installation of
equipment to its facilities in the City. The Corporation has requested that the EDA Board of
Commissioners at its meeting on August 22, 2005 call for a public hearing to be held on
September 12, 2005 on the issuance of the Note by the EDA.
The Note is proposed t<? be issued in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$1,734,000. The debt service on the Note will be payable solely from payments to be made by
the Corporation and will be secured by a first mortgage on its facilities in New Hope. Neither the
City nor the EDA will not have any liability .with respect to the Note.
The Corporation is requesting that the EDA, rather than the City) issue the Note in order
that the Note can be designated bank-qualified under Section 265(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the UCode"). The Corporation is hoping that the .Note can be designated as bank-
qualified since it is anticipated that the purchaser of the Note will be one or more banks. The
EDA has a separate annual $10.000,000 bank qualification limitation, and under Section 265(b)
of the Code obligations lssued by the City do not count against the EDAJs bank qualification
limitation. HoweverJ the obligations of the EDA, as a subordinate entity of the City, will count
against the City's annual $10JOOO,OOO bank qualification limit. While I understand the City does
not have any plans to issue additional bonds for City purposes this year, I have been contacted
by an investment banker about the possibility of the City issuing refunding bonds som.etime this
year to refund the Masonic Home North Ridge Care Center Bonds issued by the City in 1999.
The issuance of such refunding bonds will cause the City to exceed the $10,000,000 bank
qualification limit for 2005~ Because of the possibility of that refunding taking place, the City
could not designate the Note as a bank-qualified obligation because, in order to do so, it must
reasonably determine that it does not expect to exceed the $1 OJOOO,OOO limitation in 2005.

However, since the EDA has its own separate $10,000,000 bank qualification limitation and the
City bonds do not count against the EDA's bank qualification limitation, the EDA is able to
designate the Note as' a bank-qualified obligation.
The Corporation will pay all EDA and City expenses with respect to the Note, and upon
issuance of the Note will pay the City a fee equal to ~ of 1 % of the principal amount of the Note
in accordance with the City's requirements for issuance of revenue bonds.
Representatives from the Corporation will attend the August 22nd Board of
Commissioners meeting to respond to any questions concerning this proposal.
If you have any questions, please call me~

Dear Mr. McDonald:
At the request of Emergency FoodshelfNetwork, Inc., \ve have conducted a study of the
preliminary economic feasibility of the proposal that a revenue note be issued under the
provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.152 through 469.1651, to provide funds for the

Department.

Memo

From: Tim Barnes
cc: Tim Joyce
Date: 9/8/2005
Re: Withdravval of Application
Kirk-thank you for the opportunity to discuss our proposal with the city staff yesterday.
After further review I have decided to withdrawal my application for tax-exempt financing
with the City of New Hope. The process and the cost have far exceeded the benefit to access
this opportunity for my organization. I plan to continue to explore any number of
conventional banking options from community banks value us as customer and who don't
need to be convinced of the intrinsic value and benefit we bring to the state and the
community.
Please send an itemized list of expenses thus far and a refund of the money vve have owing to
us. Please remo\re our application from the City Council meeting scheduled for September
12, 2005. I \t\rill ask Tim Joyce from Wells Fargo to pass this information on to all concerned
parties. Any questions concerning this matter can be directed to me at 763-450-3862.
