VSSA Financing Reques
lance a nd Refunding Notes
In December, 2005 the city issued its $10,000,000 Health care Revenue Note of 2005
(Boutwells landing care center Project) and in December, 2006 the city issued its
$10,000,000 health Caro Rcvonue Note of 2006 ( Boutwells Landing care center
Project) (the "Prior Notes ") to finance the construction and equipping of a 108-bed
addition to the existing Boutwells Landing complex located at 5600 Norwich Parkway
in the city.
The current proposal is for the city to issue two new separate . notes each in the
arou nt of $10,000..000 totaling $20,000,.000. The Notes will refinance and restate the
Prior Notes. These notes are to be sold to area banks, most of whom were investors in
the financing of the other phases of the Boutwells Landing complex.
The city will have no liability for repayment of the Notes and that repayment of the
Notes can never be considered a general or moral obligation of the city or give rise
to a charge against the general creditor taxing powers of the city, The Notes will be
payable solely from amounts paid by the Borrower. Attorney, Trudy Halla, the city's
Banal counsel from Briggs & Morgan, has provided verification that this borrowing is
NOT backed by the full faith and credit of the city of oak 'ark Heights - see her
letter dated 11 6107 as attached
Staff does recommend that the City utilize its municipal authorities to issues new rotes
that refinance and restate the current rotes, these again will support the of the
development of the Skilled Nursing Facility, both for construction and equipment.
Enclosed is the "Final Note Resolution" necessary to be approved by the Council to
p roceed with the funding placement and execution of all necessary documents by
City Staff and Mayer Bea udt,
Procedurally, VSSA has submitted a formal application and paid the required $8,000
application fee to the city to initiate the above process. however in ,duly 2006 the
City did adopt a new fee structure to act as a conduit financing agent. Per the city's
Fee Schedule, and consistent with other communities, the city may charge a closing
service fee up to 1.00% of the amount of the fatal proceeds as well as an annual
Page 76 of 84
service charge fee of up to .5% of the outstandn amount die by v If the pity
selected to charge the full amount of such fees, V SA would be required to pay a
closing fee of $200,000 to issue the bonds and approximately $100,000 in service fees
fhe first year.
Alternatively, VSSA has submitted a request that the City reduce the closing fees to
I % of the total proceeds ($20,000,000 X 0.10% = $20,000) and waive the annual
service f ees.
Staff does not have an objection to the proposed reductions as tine int ntion of the
project will non- profit ire nature, the project is consist r t it + its t city's
Comprehensive Plan.. the pr 0J ct will provide local living opportunities for area
seniors and that the reduction of such fees results in the estabiisrt of c€ financin
package that is economically feasible for VSSA by lowering the cost of the o v e rall
financing.
