Recitals (a) The Internal Revenue Service has issued Section 1.103 -50 -2 of the Income Tax Regulations ( "the Regulations ") dealing with the issuance of bonds, all or a portion of the proceeds of which are to be used to reimburse the City for any project costs paid by the City prior to the time of the issuance of the bonds. (b) The Regulations generally require that the City make a declaration of its official intent to reimburse itself for such prior expenditures out of the proceeds of a subsequently issued borrowing within 60 days after the payment of such expenditure, that the borrowing occur and the reimbursement allocation be made from the proceeds of such borrowing within the period required by the Regulations. (c) The City desires to comply with requirements of the Regulations with respect to certain projects hereinafter identified. 2. Official Intent Declaration (a) The City proposes to undertake the following described project: A joint project with the City of Crystal to mill and overlay with a new bituminous surface Louisiana Avenue between Medicine Lake Road and 32nd Avenue and 31st Circle which is a cul -de -sac west of Louisiana Avenue. It is more fully described in the report of Bonest roo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, the City Engineers, (the "Engineer's Report "), which Engineer's Report is on file with the City Clerk. The total estimated cost of New Hope's portion of the improvement is $88,490.00. (b) The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for costs of the designated projects out of the proceeds of debt (the "Bonds ") to be incurred by the City after the date of payment of all or a portion of the costs. The maximum principal amount of the bonds is estimated to be $110,613.00 for this designated project. (c) This declaration is a declaration of official intent adopted pursuant to Section 1.103 -50 -2 of the Regulations. 3. Reimbursement Allocations The City's financial officer shall be responsible for making the "reimbursement allocations" described in the Regulations, being generally the transfer of the appropriate amount of proceeds of the Bonds to reimburse the source of temporary financing used by the C i t y to make payment of the prior costs of the projects. Each allocation shall be evidenced by an entry on the official books and records of the City maintained for the Bonds, shall specifically identify the actual prior expenditure being reimbursed, or, in the case of reimbursement of a fund, the fund or account from which the expenditure was paid, and shall be effective to relieve the proceeds of the Bonds from any restriction under the bond resolution or other relevant legal documents for the Bonds, and under any applicable state or federal statute, which would apply to the unspent proceeds of such bond issue.

This Resolution is for consideration at the February 26, 1996 Council meeting. This Resolution is necessary to perfect the 0ity's right to finance the construction costs of the project with proceeds from a bond sale. I spoke with Jeannine and Kirk regarding this Resolution. It's my understanding Jeannine is forwarding to you a Request for Action relating to the Resolution. Also, consideration of the f report for this project will be considered at the Monday council meeting. Cont act Me i f YOU have any questions very truly yours, Steven A. Sondrall sit Enclosure cc: Jeannine Clancy, Public Works Director Daniel J. Donahue, City Manager Larry Watts, Finance Director COUNCIL 0 i ; , f The City of Crystal is proposing to mill and overlay Louisiana Avenue between Medicine Lake Road and 32nd Avenue and is requesting that New Hope participate in the project. The boundary line between Crystal and New Hope lies at approximately the centerline of Louisiana Avenue. The 31 st Avenue cul de sac (located completely within the City of New Hope) is also in need of a mill and overlay. Because of its close proximity to the Crystal project, staff is recommending that the projects be coordinated under one contract managed by the City of Crystal. In December, 1995, the New Hope City Council authorized a pavement evaluation and feasibility report for Louisiana Avenue and the 31 st Avenue cul de sac. The City Engineer has prepared that report which is before the City Council tonight for consideration. According to the project report, New Hope's portion of the project is approximately $89,000. Two residential and nine commercial properties will be assessed for the project costs. The special assessments levied against these properties will be consistent with the City's assessment policy. Approximately $2,000 will be financed under New Hope's Municipal State Aid allocation.

The project is being considered at this time in conjunction with the City of Crystals 1996 -Phase 2 Southeast Street Reconstruction (Crystal Project No. 95 -6) which includes the east half of Louisiana Avenue. Louisiana Avenue serves as the border street between Crystal and New Hope in this area. The properties abutting Louisiana Avenue and 31st Avenue in New Hope include nine (9) limited industrial properties ( zoned I -1) and two (2) residential properties. The two residential properties are located in Kranz Addition opposite 30th Avenue. Since 1980, the City of New Hope has undertaken similar projects which have resurfaced\reconstructed approximately 63 miles of street. These projects have been undertaken to improve the strength and surface foundation of the existing streets to extend their design life. 1995 Street Improvement Program 1 2ND - AVE IN i(RCCKFORD RD) Co.

The project can best be carried out in conjunction with the City of Crystal's Phase 2 Southeast Street Reconstruction project. Louisiana Avenue within this project is designated a Municipal State Aid (MSA) Street in New Hope and Crystal. Therefore the project will be constructed in accordance with State Aid Standards and those portions not assessed will be financed by MSA funds. The estimated project cost is $88,490 of which $86,505 is proposed to be assessed to the abutting property. The estimated assessment rate is listed below: Property Use Industrial Residential Estimated Rate $27.29 / FF $15.35 / FF .. i An independent evaluation is conducted to justify street improvements in New Hope. Appendix A located at the back of this report includes a pavement condition survey conducted by Braun Intertec in Louisiana Avenue and 31st Avenue. The results of the survey indicate the pavement Condition Index (PCI) fall near the transition between seat coat and overlay. However due to the existing chip - seal debonding condition in Louisiana Avenue a mill/bituminous overlay construction is recommended. The milling process will remove the debonding chip seal requiring a bituminous overly to be constructed. The City of Crystal in conjunction with their consulting engineer (Short, Elliot, Hendrickson, Inc., SEH) have also conducted evaluations justifying the proposed street improvements. SEH's report dated September 28, 1995 for the City of Crystal include the results of their evaluations. 1995 Street Improvement Program 5 Discussion The City of Crystal reconstructed this section of Louisiana Avenue in 1974 while the City of New Hope constructed 31st Avenue in 1979. The existing street sections are shown on Figure 3. The proposed street improvement include milling the existing bituminous surface and constructing a 1- 1/2" - 2" thick bituminous overlay. Concrete curbs which are settled or damaged will be removed and reconstructed. Drain tile will be constructed in select areas while existing catch basins will be reconstructed as required. Sanitary sewer and water main repairs are not anticipated at this time. The area to be included for assessment purposes is shown on Figure 2 located at the back of this report and listed below.

The estimated cost for New Hope's portion of Louisiana Avenue is taken from SEH's report for Phase 2 Southeast Street Reconstruction dated September 28, 1995. A summary of these costs is shown below: Louisiana Avenue $40,150.00 31 st Avenue 48.340.00 Total $88,490.00 The total estimated project cost is $88,490.00 which includes contingencies (10 %) and indirect costs (25 %). Indirect costs include legal, engineering, administration, and bond interest. Assessments are proposed to be levied against the benefitted property in accordance New Hope's Assessment Policy for street resurfacing. In general, 100% of the street cost is assessed to industrial properties based on a front foot basis. Residential property on MSA Streets such as Louisiana Avenue are given a 25% credit because the service life for bituminous overlays on MSA Streets is less than residential streets (ie 15 years verses 20 years). In addition a credit is also given for the street width because Louisiana Avenue is wider than residential streets (ie 40' wide verses standard residential width - 30' wide). In the case of this project a 25% credit for service life and street width was applied to determine the residential rate. Listed below is the estimated assessment rate. Property Use Estimated Rate Industrial $27.29 / Front Foot Residential $15.35 / Front Foot Appendix C located at the back of this report includes a preliminary assessment roll. 1995 Street Improvement Program 7 A summary of revenue sources is listed below: Street Project Cost Revenue Balance Louisiana / 31st Avenue $88,490 Street Assessment $86.458 $88,490 $86,458 $ -2,032 The anticipated project deficit is $2,032 which will be financed by MSA Fund.

The results and methods of our survey were outlined in the letter with the following Pavement Condition Indexes (PCIs) given: Calculated PCI Ratings Street Termini PCI Louisiana Avenue 32nd Ave. to 31st Ave. 70 31st Ave. to 30th Ave. 60 30th Ave. to Medicine Lake Rd. 64 31st Avenue Louisiana Ave. to West Cul -De -Sac 65 A typical PCI range for various rehabilitations would be: 0 - 35 Reconstruct 35 - 60 Overlay 60- 100 Sealcoat Louisiana Avenue falls within the range of a recommended sealcoat; however, during the survey it was noted that the existing chip seal is de- bonding in several areas. A possible cause could be stripping of the asphalt within the wear course; however, further testing prior to rehabilitation is recommended to identify the full extent of the problem. This testing would consist of coring several locations and conducting visual and laboratory tests on the core samples. If the asphalt is stripping it may be possible that any sealcoat or overlay of the surface may also de -bond resulting in similar loss of surface material; milling may be necessary to remove the problem material. Following any milling it is recommended the surface be overlaid to replace the removed material and add strength. 31st Avenue also falls within the range for a sea►coat; however patching and an overlay is recommended. The development of load related distress and the industrial nature of the surrounding businesses would indicate the surface may not have the necessary strength for the loads applied. Strength testing may be desired to help determine the necessary overlay to assure proper design life from the structure.

January 2, 1996 Mr. Mark Hanson Bonestroo Rosene Anderiik & Assoc. 2335 W. Highway 36 St. Paul, MN 551113 Re: City of New Hope Dear Mr. Hanson: Engineers and Scientists Serving the Built and Natural Environments- Bonestroo Rosene Anderiik & Associates contacted Braun Intertec Corporation to conduct pavement condition surveys on Louisiana Avenue and 31st Avenue in the city of New Hope. The surveys were conducted December 22, 1995. At the time of survey the curbs were covered by snow and their condition -could not be assessed. The snow cover aiso made it difficult to determine the extent of edge cracking, however in some areas the edge was visible and we expect the determined area of edge cracking is accurate. A condition noted as high severity reveling on Louisiana Avenue appears to be the result of debonding between the chipseal and the bituminous surface. These areas look like many small potholes, however, only the surface appears affected. Accompanying this letter is a description of our survey methodology, a table of PCI results and two pages of output from our Pavement Condition Index (PCI) program. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to be of service to Bonestroo and to the City of New Hope. Should there be any questions regarding the contents of the report or any of our other services, please call. Sincerely, Guy Kohinhofer, P.E. Project Manag Michael M. Marti E. Director of Nondestructive Testing Survey Procedures The streets were divided into segments with intersections as terminus. The length and width of the individual segments were measured and - recorded and the pavements were, evaluated by Braun Intertec. using manual surface condition survey procedures_ The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) methodology of data collection was used. to survey the. amount of pavement distress present on each section of pavement. PCI survey methodology was initially developed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. A modified procedure, developed by Braun InterteC Corporation for the Minnesota Local Roads Research Board for use by the agencies within the Minnesota, was used. The Pavement Condition Index is based on a numeric rating system ranging from 100 for a newly surfaced pavement to 0 for pavement that has failed. The condition survey consisted of determining the type, severity and amount of pavement distress which was visible on the pavement surface. The PCI Condition Report following this page indicates the amount of each distress noted during the survey. For area distresses such as alligator cracking and depressions the value is in square feet. For linear distresses the value is in lineal feet. The figure at right indicates typical conditions of various PCI ratings. PCI r7atmQ too Louisiana_ Avenue 32nd_ Ave:. to 31st Ave..

THANK YOU CHERYL JOENS SPECIAL ASSESSMENT CLERK ,,ddock Laboratories, Inc. 10/13/97 City of New Hope 4401 Xylon Avenue North New Hope, MN. 55428 ATTN: Mayor and City Council Members /7 Z-- IYV , 7A Pharmaceuticals for Medicine, Pharmacy and Science RE: Special Assessments on Street Improvement No 551 (Louisiana Ave North and 31 st Avenue North) Dear Mayor and City Council Members, I'm the owner of PID No. 20- 118 -21 310018, 3101 Louisiana Avenue North, the Paddock Laboratories, Inc building up to Fall 1994 and is now the Amcon Laboratories building. I would like you to consider the method in which the special assessment of $ 92,096.42 is allocated to the 9 commercial properties and the 2 residential properties that the road improvements effected. After discussions with Mark Hanson, the city engineer, I understand that the assessment is currently based on a front footage of each property at the rate of $ 29.07 /foot. I have no problem with the calculations, but I do consider this policy unfair in the assessment process for a number of reasons. 1. My property has a market value of $ 765,000.00 and an area of 2.01 acres that is less than most of the other commercial properties on the assessment list, yet I'm being assessed the most. 2. My property is assessed at $ 17,441.13 or almost 20% of the total assessment of $ 92,096.42, yet the total value of my property represents an estimated 10% of the total value of all the effected commercial properties assessed. 3940 Quebec Avenue North, Minneapolis, MN 55427 • 612.546.4676 • FAX: 612.546.4842 • 800.328.5113 3. All commercial properties along Louisiana Avenue and 31 st Street benefit equally in the street improvements and the increased value should be based on the total value of the property not the front footage. All of my immediate commercial neighbors have more truck traffic and employ more people than Amcon Laboratories and therefore derive more value from any street improvement, yet our assessment is proportionately higher. 4. I would like to show some examples of my immediate neighbors and their assessments to demonstrate the inequities of this current policy. National Beauty Supply, 3109 Louisiana Avenue North, is on a slightly larger parcel of property with a larger square foot building space and is only paying $8,125.36 or less than 1/2 what we have been assessed. The R.L. Johnson building, 101 -09 31 st Avenue North, is an approximately 120,000 square foot building on approximately 8 acres of land or 4 times the land area and over 4 times the square building area as mine, yet is only assessed $ 22,594.95. Process Displays, 7108 31 st Avenue North, lot is over twice our size and three times the square footage and is only assessed $ 3,970.38 The point is that my immediate neighbors, all of which have properties that are both greater in total land square footage, building square footage and value are paying a lower relative assessment than my property, yet they reap at least equal and probably greater economic benefit. I have been a good corporate member of the city of New Hope since 1983. Between Paddock Laboratories and Amcon Laboratories growth and development, we have brought economic development and opportunity to the people and city of New Hope. Through our research and development efforts we hope to continue in our growth and development in the City of New Hope. Between Paddock Laboratories and Amcon Laboratories we employ close to 200 people, many who live in the city of New Hope and we generate $ 280,000.00 per year in property taxes for our communities. I'm asking the Mayor and City Council Members to do what you believe is fair and right for the City of New Hope and its Corporate citizens. I would appreciate any consideration in your reevaluation of the assessment process in that it better accounts for other conditions such as property square footage and property values. Thank you for your consideration and attention of this most important matter. Sincerely, Bruce G.

Fax: 612 -531 -5175 Dear New Hope Property Owner: The City Council adopted the assessment roll for Improvement Project No. 551 (Louisiana Ave N & 31 st Ave N) at the October 27th Council Meeting. Please refer to your original assessment notice dated September 26, 1997, for the assessment amount. There are three options for payment of the assessment: 1) FULL PAYMENT - You may prepay the entire assessment without interest by November 26, 1997 (30 -day period). The assessment can still be paid in full prior to November 30, 1997, when the assessment roll is certified to the County ,. Auditor, but interest will be charged through the date of payment if not paid by November 26, 1997. 2) PARTIAL PAYMENT - Pay one partial payment by November 26, 1997 (30 day period). City Ordinance allows one partial payment on an assessment within 30 days from the adoption of the assessment. This will reduce the amount of the assessment to be certified to the property tax rolls. 3) Pay nothing now and the assessment will automatically be placed on property taxes commencing with taxes payable in 1998. If the assessment is put on your taxes it will be spread in equal annual installments over 15 years bearing interest at 8 %. The first installment will include interest on the total assessment from November 1, 1997, through December 31, 1998, or 14 months' interest. Please contact the Special Assessment Clerk at (612) 531 -5132 if you have any questions regarding your assessment amount or payment options.

The reduction is based on the elimination of the assessed property's 249.97 feet of lineal front footage on Louisiana Avenue from the assessment formula. Multiplying the assessed property's lineal footage on Louisiana Avenue by the assessed rate ($29.07 per lineal foot) equals the reduction amount. This reduction is based on the fact that the property is accessed only by a curb cut on 31S Avenue. The resolution also includes approval of the Stipulation for Dismissal With Prejudice. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. MOTION BY (�� SECOND BY TO: Review: Administration: Finance: unim
