EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Council Regular Meeting: May 17, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Host Approval for Conduit Debt Issuance AGENDA SECTION:
Public Hearing
PREPARED BY: Teah Malecha, Finance Director AGENDA NO. 7.b.
ATTACHMENTS: Host Approval Letter, Joint Powers
Agreement, Resolution APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Joint Powers Agreement with the Cities of
Hampton, Landfall Village and New Prague. Adopt a resolution giving host approval to the
Cities of Hampton and Landfall Village
BACKGROUND
The Rosemount, LLC and Praha Village, LLC have proposed the issuance of bonds to finance the
acquisition of two existing senior housing and healthcare facilities. The Rosemount is located at 14344
Cameo Way in Rosemount and Praha Village is located at 1100 1st Street SE in New Prague. Under
Minnesota Statute 469.44, cities can enter into an agreement with a nonprofit organization to issue revenue
bonds for qualifying projects such as multifamily housing healthcare facilities. This helps to reduce the cost
of borrowing for nonprofit organizations. The total issuance is not to exceed $48 million with $21 million
attributable to the facility in Rosemount. The Cities of Hampton and Landfall Village will be the issuers of
the debt.
The City has received a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the City of Hampton, City of Landfall
Village, City of New Prague, and City of Rosemount to allow the City of Hampton and the City of
Landfall Village to issue conduit revenue bonds. Being that the project is within Rosemount, the City must
give approval for another entity to issue bonds. This does not provide the City with any debt obligations.
All debt would be payable by The Rosemount, LLC and Praha Village, LLC.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a Resolution Giving Host Approval to the Issuance of the City of
Hampton, Minnesota Senior Housing and Healthcare Revenue Bonds (The Rosemount and Praha Village
Project), Series 2022A, and the City of Landfall Village, Minnesota Subordinate Senior Housing and
Healthcare Revenue Note (The Rosemount and Praha Village Project), Series 2022B, and Approving a
Joint Powers Agreement.

Re: Host Approval by Rosemount to the Issuance of Conduit Revenue Bonds by
the Cities of Hampton and Landfall Village for Cassia
Dear Ms. Malecha and Councilmembers:
This letter is to follow-up on discussions that we have had regarding a request that the City
of Rosemount has received from The Rosemount, LLC and Praha Village, LLC, Minnesota limited
liability companies (jointly, the “Borrower”), the sole member of which is Augustana Care, a
Minnesota nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3) organization, the sole member of which is Cassia,
a Minnesota nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3) organization, regarding consideration by the City
to consent to the issuance of 501(c)(3) revenue obligations (the “Bonds”), in an amount not to
exceed $48,000,000, by the Cities of Hampton and Landfall Village (the “Issuers”). The proceeds
of the Bonds will be loaned to the Borrower to be used to finance, in part, the acquisition of (a) an
existing senior housing and healthcare facility, including approximately 37 independent apartment
units, 25 assisted living apartment units, 18 memory care apartment units, and 12 care suite
apartment units, located at 14344 Cameo Avenue in the City of Rosemount, Minnesota
(“Rosemount”), known as the Rosemount, and (b) an existing senior housing and healthcare
facility, including 36 independent apartment units, 39 assisted living apartment units, and 16
memory care apartment units, located at 1100 1st Street SE in the City of New Prague, Minnesota
(“New Prague” and with Rosemount, the “Host Cities”), known as Praha Village (collectively, the
“Project”); (ii) fund any required reserve funds; and (iii) pay all or a portion of costs of issuance.
Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP will act as bond counsel on the issuance of such Bonds. The Bonds
issued by Hampton (the “Hampton Bonds”) will be senior debt and are expected to be underwritten
by Northland Securities. The Bonds issued by Landfall Village (the “Landfall Bonds”) will be
subordinate, bank-qualified notes and are expected to be directly purchased by Bremer Bank.

State and federal laws allow local government units to enter into arrangements to issue tax-
exempt obligations and loan the proceeds to nonprofit corporations to finance capital expenditures.
This assistance reduces borrowing costs for nonprofit corporations and enables them to provide
their services more cost effectively. It is a common means of obtaining necessary financing for
all nonprofit entities, including senior housing and health care providers like the Borrower.
To accomplish this purpose, the Issuers will enter into Loan Agreements with the Borrower
under which the Borrower will agree to pay all principal and interest on the Bonds. The Issuers
will assign all of their rights to payments under the Loan Agreements to the Trustee, for the benefit
of the bondholders who will purchase the Hampton Bonds, and to Bremer Bank as the purchaser
of the Landfall Village Bonds, and loan the purchase price of the Bonds directly to the Borrower.
The Issuers are merely a conduit and the money and obligations flow only between the Trustee
and Bremer Bank, as the case may be, and the Borrower.
The Bonds and the resolutions adopted by the Issuers will recite that the Bonds, if and
when issued, will not to be payable from or charged upon any of the Issuers’ funds, other than the
revenues received under the Loan Agreements and pledged to the payment of the Bonds, and
neither the Issuers nor the Host Cities are subject to any liability on the Bonds. No holder of the
Bonds will ever have the right to compel any exercise by the Issuers or the Host Cities of their
taxing powers to pay any of the principal of the Bonds or the interest or premium thereon, or to
enforce payment of the Bonds against any property of the Issuers or the Host Cities except the
interests of the Issuers in payments to be made by the Borrower under the Loan Agreements. The
Bonds will not constitute a charge, lien, or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of
the Issuers or the Host Cities, except the interests of the Issuers in payments to be made by the
Borrower under the Loan Agreements. The Bonds are not moral obligations on the part of the
State or its political subdivisions, including Rosemount, and the Bonds will not constitute a debt
of the Issuers or the Host Cities within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation.
The issuance of the Bonds by the Issuers will not affect Rosemount’s credit rating on bonds
it issues for municipal purposes.
Each city may issue up to $10,000,000 of its own and 501(c)(3) bonds each calendar year
as “bank-qualified” bonds. The City of Rosemount is issuing its own bonds in excess of
$10,000,000 in 2022 so it is not affected by this with respect to the Hampton Bonds, but for cost
savings purposes and maintenance of existing relationships, it has agreed to allow Hampton to act
as the issuer of the Hampton Bonds at the request of the Borrower. But because the Landfall Bonds
must be bank-qualified, Rosemount cannot issue those bonds and, so, has agreed that Landfall
Village can be the issuer for that purpose. Because the total cost of the financing exceeds
$10,000,000, New Prague prefers not to issue the senior debt for the Project because it wishes to
retain that bank-qualified status for its own bonds in 2022. In addition, for cost savings purposes,
New Prague has agreed that Landfall Village may act as the issuer of the subordinate debt. Under
the federal tax law, alternative issuers are permitted, but a “nexus” between the jurisdictional city
73382596v1

and the issuer is preferred. In this case, Hampton has geographical proximity that puts it between
both Rosemount and New Prague and Landfall Village has geographical proximity to Rosemount.
The Bonds will be issued in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C. A city
may not issue bonds for a project located outside of its jurisdiction, as is requested in this case.
However, the city in which a project is located may give permission for the issuance of bonds by
another city. This is commonly referred to as “host approval.” Under Minnesota Statutes, Section
471.656, subdivision 2(2), host approval may be given for a project located in the host city, by
resolution of the host city. Rosemount and New Prague, as the host cities, are being requested to
give permission to Hampton and Landfall Village to issue the Bonds. In addition, the Issuers and
the Host Cities will enter into a joint powers agreement for the purpose of issuing the Bonds.
Similarly, under the federal tax code, before a city can issue bonds for a project located
outside of its jurisdiction, the host city must give its approval. Such approval can only be given
following the holding of a public hearing. Each of Rosemount and New Prague will hold such
public hearings.
We understand that the public hearing to be held by Rosemount can be set administratively
and we are proposing that the hearing be included on the agenda for the City Council meeting on
May 17th. We will prepare and take care of submitting the public hearing notice to Rosemount’s
official newspaper.
Following the public hearing, the City Council would then consider for adoption a
resolution giving consent to the issuance of the Bonds by both Hampton and Landfall Village. We
will provide you with the form of such resolution prior to the May 17th meeting, for inclusion in
your meeting packets.
Thank you for assistance on behalf of Cassia. Please feel free to contact me if you have
any questions or comments.
Very truly yours,
Catherine J. Courtney
