Consider 5/25/93 EDA Agenda <br /> <br />COMMISSIONER SCHEEL MOVED TO APPROVE <br />COMMISSIONER DUITSMAN SECONDED THE MOTION. <br /> <br />THE 5/25/93 EDA AGENDA. <br />THE MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Consider an Allotment Agreement and a Commitment Agreement with <br />Minnesota Housing Finance Agency <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator, Bill Rubin, explained that he had <br />attended the bond allocation meeting on May 12, 1993, wherein, <br />Minnesota Housing Finance Agency reduced Elk River's requested amount <br />of mortgage funds in the Minnesota City Participation Program. The Elk <br />River request was reduced from $1,500,000 to $974,242. <br /> <br />As a result of this meeting, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency prepared <br />two documents for execution by the Elk River EDA. Bill Rubin explained <br />that the purpose of the Allotment Agreement was to provide for the <br />allotment of 1993 mortgage revenue bond authority in accordance with <br />Minnesota Statutes. The purpose of the Commitment Agreement is to set <br />forth the contractual obligations of participating cities wherein a <br />city authorizes Minnesota Housing Finance Agency to sell bonds on their <br />behalf. <br /> <br />As a result of this reduced allocation, Bill Rubin also indicated that <br />the Elk River EDA needed to authorize a new 1% deposit fee to Minnesota <br />Housing Finance Agency plus a $200 processing fee. These funds would <br />not be paid immediately; but rather, they would be paid when Minnesota <br />Housing Finance Agency has the ability to issue revenue bonds. The <br />ability to sell mortgage revenue bonds expired in June, 1992. It is <br />expected that authority to issue bonds will be restored again, but this <br />will not likely occur until mid summer. <br /> <br />COMMISSIONER SCHEEL <br />REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT <br /> <br />MOVED TO AUTHORIZE A NEW ONE PERCENT (1%) <br />FEE IN THE AMOUNT OF $9,742.42, AND A NONREFUNDABLE <br />
