land. Motion carried unanimously.
Jim Casserly, of O'Connor and Hannon, said this public hearing is a statutory
requirement when the HRA is involved in the sale of public land, to receive pub-
lic input regarding the proposed sale. He explained that the way the City is
trying to structure its public commitment to the racetrack facility is to do a
land write-down. He said this would be accomplished by the City purchasing a
parcel of land for a certain sum of money, selling it back to the same or dif-
ferent party for a lesser sum of money, and the difference is the amount the City
is investing in the project. Therefore, the acquisition and sale back of the
land is the way the City is going to proceed to have some public investment in
the racetrack. He suggested taking public testimony at this hearing and continu-
ing it to February 28th, when all the racetrack documents will be considered.
Chrm. Colligan asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to comment
on this item, and there was no response.
Lebens/Vierling moved to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
Vierling/Lebens moved to direct staff to carry ovOr this public hearing until

Mr. Casserly passed out a draft Contract for Private Development and Assessment

RE: Action on Racetrack Development
DATE: June 11, 1984
Introduction:
In planning to bring the proposed amendment to the develop-
ment contract for the racetrack to the City Council for approval,
John Anderson, City Administrator, was unaware that the HRA would
also need to consider and adopt this amendment. Since HRA approval
is necessary, a special meeting of that body has been called.
Background:
Jim Casserly explains in his June 7, 1984, memo why an amend-
ment to the development proposal has been proposed. Since his
memo was written, O'Conner Hannan has also received additional
requests from the mortgage holder on other items which must be
addressed in the amendment, as well as new documents which must
be authorized (including a subordination and an intercreditor
agreement). To complete the financial arrangements on Thursday,
June 14th, as planned, the HRA and City Council must act on
these matters at a meeting June 12th.
Wood Kidner of O'Conner and Hannan is preparing further
amendments, resolutions and an explanation of the new issues.
His explanation will be included with this memo if received on
time, or else will be on the table prior to the start of the
meeting.
Since an HRA meeting was not included on the Council agenda,
it'is recomrnefiada` tr�azl'erieT' n^oIUm&S:_S ac�..ron��?nQ_Tae?n _ t nri

I met with Mr. Schneider on June 8th to discuss the values on his land and buildings
which are located in sections sixteen and twenty—one within the City of Shakopee.
We discussed the ages and sizes of the buildings and the condition of both the
buildings and land.
Mr..Schneider has a water problem on the land which is the result of the drainage
of adjacent farmer's fields. This drainage has created a water accumulation on
Harold's land which has flooded about ten acres and made this portion of the farm
unusable-at the present time.
Agreements were reached on'the building valuation and the adjustments which were
made for the water problems on the acreage were also approved by Mr. Schneider.
The final" valuation for the 1984 assessment on these parcels is.

RE: Update on Onsite Bond Issue and Develoeementwith
Minnesota Racetrack, Inc.
DATE: June 7, 1984
The Racetrack developers, their attorneys, the City Administrator, the
City's bond counsel, and Miller & Schroeder met Wednesday, to resolve
the issues that were discussed at the last council meeting. The goal
of all the parties was to provide adequate security to the City but yet
not handicap the lenders and investors in their financing of the project.
The sources of funds for the project are as follows:
A. $21,000,000 from the shareholders of Minnesota Racetrack Inc. (M.R.I.)
presently $15,000,000 is an equity contribution and $6,000,000 is
a loan secured by a subordinated mortgage.
B. $4.5 million in land value
C. $10.5 million are net proceeds from the sale of limited partnership
interests.
D. $25,000,000 from a non-recourse first mortgage with Twin City Federal
E. $6,000,000 from the City of Shakopee.
The total project cost is $67,000,000 with $36,000,000 representing real
equity in the project (as opposed to loans and ignoring the City's
$6,000,000).
In analyzing the City's risk, one must consider the worst possible
alternatives:
Headquarters: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Branch Offices: Downtown Minneapolis • Solana Beach, California • Northbrook, Illinois • St Paul, Minnesota+ Naples, Florida • Carson City, Nevada
June 7, 1984
Page Two
A. The project is not constructed. The project is now under construction
and performance bonds are being secured from all of the subcontractors.
$21,000,000 is already on deposit; $25,000,000 will be irrevocably commited
to the project by June 15; the land transfer is being effectuated and
the syndication is proceeding. This risk appears extremely small.
B. The project defaults in its tax payments when the full valuation is
being assessed (January 2, 1986 valuation for taxes payable in May and
October of 1987). It is this scenario that provides the greatest potential
problems. In the event taxes are not paid, the first mortgage is immediately
in default (the timely payment of taxes being one of the essential terms
of the mortgage). If the.taxes become delinquent, the mortgage holder
has the option of paying the taxes and will usually initiate a foreclosure
proceeding. However, the mortgage holder cannot get a recordable and
thus marketable title to the property unless it pays all deliquent taxes.
Delinquent taxes are a lien on the property which will have a priority
even over the first mortgage for the simple reason that if taxes are not
eventually paid, the property will forfeit to the State of Minnesota.
This means that the investors would forfeit $36,000,000 in equity and
the mortgage holder would forfeit its $25,000,000 for a total forfeiture
of $61,000,000 all for the non-payment of taxes. This scenario is not
inconceivable (I just described it), but it does defy the imagination.
In order to make the last scenario more unimaginable, the following
proposal has been drafted for the development agreement:
1. North American Life & Casualty Company, Santa Anita Company, and
local investors will guarantee 25% of the total debt service on the
bonds on a pro -rata (several) basis (this amounts to $3.5 to $4.0
million).
2. In the event of any non-payment of real estate taxes, the entire
amount in 1. above is due and will not be credited to future tax
payments but will be available for the payment of the bonds.
3. A letter of credit will be payable to the City for one year's debt
service or, at the option of the City, 80% of one year's estimated
taxes based on the estimated market value in the assessment agreement
and the 1985 mill rate if available. A call upon the letter of credit
would be an offset in the amount collectable in 2. above.
4. The Assessment Agreement will be executed by both Twin City Federal
and M.R.I.
5. The Promissory Note will be executed by M.R.I.
Again, describing our worst case scenario, we have in place two and a
half years of capitalized interest plus a guarantee of approximately
another two and a half years of debt service (40% funded by a letter of
credit). On an 11 year bond issue, five years or more of debt service
would be either funded or guaranteed.

This worst case scenario assumes that the City will be issuing a general
obligation tax increment bond. If the City funds the project with a
revenue bond, then the risk is on the bond holders not the City. The
revenue bond approach is being actively persued by the City and the
developers. We recommend a revenue bond to completely eliminate any
risk, but if such financing is not possible or available, we recommend
that the City issue a general obligation bond as outlined above.
O'CONNOR & HANNAN
MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 8, 1984
TO: Mayor and City Councilmembers - City of Shakopee
FROM: O'Connor & Hannan, Wood Kidner
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to Contract for Private Development
between the City, the HRA and Minnesota Racetrack, Inc.
As you know, the Contract for Private Development between the
City, the HRA and MRI was originally executed as of February 28, 1984.
I have enclosed with this memorandum for your review a proposed amended
version of the Contract for Private Development to be considered for
adoption by the City and the HRA next Tuesday night. The Agreement
is blacklined to show modification from the February 28 Agreement.
The changes to the Development Agreement fall generally into two
categories. First, the amended Development Agreement contains modi-
fications to the provisions of the original Agreement relating to the
security to be provided to the City by the Developers with respect
to the City's tax increment bond issue to finance on-site improvements
for the racetrack. These modifications are discussed in detail in
Jim Casserly's June 7, 1984 memorandum to the Council. Basically,
the entities comprising the Developer agree to provide a letter of
credit to the City equal to approximately one year's debt service
on the tax increment bond issues and pro -rata guaranties by the
principals aggregating 25 percent of the debt service on the bond
issue (less the amount of the letter of credit), agree to have TCF
execute the Assessment Agreement as first mortgagee and agree to
seek to structure the tax increment issue for the on-site improve-
ments as a revenue bond rather than a general obligation bond of
the City. These modifications may be found in Sections 6.1, 6.2
and 7.1 of the Development Agreement.
The second category of changes are modifications requested by
Twin City Federal as first mortgagee. It was anticipated at the
time the original Development Agreement was executed that certain
modifications would be required to accommodate the interests of
the primary construction lender for the Project once such construc-
tion lender was identified. O'Connor & Hannan, as the City's coun-
sel with respect to the Development Agreement, believes that the
amendments requested by TCF and contained in the attached Agree-
ment are reasonable and do not materially effect the interest of the
City or the City's security with respect to the tax increment bonds.
A few minor issues with respect to additional modifications
requested by TCF remain to be negotiated between the City, TCF and
the Developers. I am attempting to have these issues resolved as
quickly as possible. I believe, however, that the enclosed Agree-
ment represents substantially the amended Development Agreement
which will be before the Council Tuesday night.

Section 4.1. Construction of Minimum Improvements. The
Company agrees that 17t will construct the Minimum Improve-
ments on the Development Property in conformance with the
approved Construction Plans. The Company agrees that the'
scope and -scale of the Minimum Improvements to be con-
structed shall not be significantly less than the scope and
scale of the Minimum Improvements as detailed and outlined
in the Construction Plans.
Section 4.2. Construction Plans.
(a) The Company shall provide the Authority with
Construction Plans, which shall be subject to approval
by the Authority as provided in this Section 4.2. The
Construction Plans shall provide for the construction of
the Minimum Improvements, including specifications for
all Qualifying Improvements to be constructed or per-
formed by the Company on the Development Property, and
shall be in conformity with the Development Program,
this Agreement, the Environmental Assessment Worksheet,
if any, prepared with respect to the Project, and all
applicable state and local laws and regulations. The
Authority shall approve the Construction Plans, in writ-
ing if: (a) the Construction Plans conform to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement; (b) the Construction
Plans conform to the terms and conditions of the Rede-
velopment Plan; (c) the Construction Plans conform to
all applicable federal, State and local laws, ordi-
nances, rules and regulations; (d) the Construction
Plans are adequate for purposes of this Agreement to
provide for the construction of the Minimum Improve-
ments; and (e) no Event of Default has occurred; pro-
vided, however, that any such approval of the Construc-
tion Plans pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall constitute
approval for the purposes of this Agreement only and
shall not be deemed to constitute approval or waiver by
the City with respect to any building, zoning or other
ordinances or regulation of the City, and shall not be
deemed to be sufficient plans to serve as the basis for
the issuance of a building permit if the Construction
Plans are not as detailed .or complete as the plans
otherwise required for the issuance of a building per-
mit. The Site Plan submitted for the Development Prop-
erty by the Company to the Building Inspector shall be
adequate to serve as the Construction Plans, if such
Site Plan fulfills the requirements of this Section 4.2
and is approved by the Building Inspector. Such Con-
struction Plans must be rejected in writing by the
4 - 1
Authority within fifteen (15) days of submission or
shall be deemed to have been approved by the Author-

whole or in part, the Company shall submit new or cor-
rected Construction Plans within thirty (30) days after
receipt by the Company of written notification of the
rejection, accompanied by a written statement of the
Authority specifying the respects in which the Construc-
tion Plans submitted by the Company fail to conform to
the requirements of this Section 4.2. The provisions of
this Section 4.2 relating to approval, rejection and
resubmission of corrected Construction Plans shall con-
tinue to apply until the Construction Plans have been
approved by the Authority; provided, however, that in
any event the Company shall submit Construction Plans
which are approved prior to'reconveyance of the Develop-
ment Property to the Company by the Authority or com-
mencement of construction of the Minimum Improvements.
Approval of the Construction Plans by the Authority
shall not relieve the Company of any obligation to com-
ply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or
the provisions of applicable federal, state and local
laws, ordinances and regulations, nor shall approval of
the Construction Plans by the Authority be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.
(b) If the Company desires to make any material
change in the Construction Plans after their approval by
the Authority, the Company shall submit the proposed
change to the Authority for its approval. If the Con-
struction Plans, as modified by the proposed change,
conform to the approval criteria listed in Section
4.2(a) with respect to the original Construction Plans
and do not constitute a material modification to the
scope, size or use of the Project or to the site plan
therefor, the Authority shall approve the proposed
change. Such change in the Construction Plans shall be
deemed approved by the Authority unless rejected in
writing. within ten (10) days by the Authority with a
statement of the Authority's reasons for such rejection.

to be constructed or provided by the Company on the Develop-
ment Property shall be in conformity with the Construction

interest to the Development Property, or any part thereof,
and the Development Property Deed shall contain covenants on
the part of the Company and such successors and assigns,
that the Company, and such successors and assigns, shall
promptly begin and diligently prosecute to completion con-
struction of the Minimum Improvements thereon, and that such
construction shall in any event be commenced and completed
within the period specified in this Section 4.3. It is
intended and agreed, and the Development Property Deed shall
so expressly provide, that such agreements and covenants
shall be covenants running with the land and that they
shall, in any event, and without regard to technical classi-
fication or designation, legal or otherwise, and except only
as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, be, to
the fullest extent permitted at law and in equity, binding
for the benefit of the Authority and enforceable by the
Authority against the Company and its successors and
assigns. Subsequent to reconveyance of the Development
Property, or any part thereof, to the Company, and until

detail and at such times as may reasonably be requested by
the Authority, as to the actual progress of the Company with
respect to construction of the Minimum Improvements. The
Company also agrees that it shall allow designated represen-
tatives of the Authority to enter upon the Development Prop-

provements in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Authority will furnish the Company with a

Development Property Deed and in the Certificate of
Completion itself) a conclusive determination of satis-
faction and termination of the agreements and covenants
in this Agreement and in the Development Property Deed

successors and assigns, to construct the Minimum Im-
provements.

(b) The Certificate of Completion shall be re-
corded in the proper office for the recordation of deeds
and other instruments pertaining to the Development
Property. If the Authority shall refuse or fail to
provide a Certificate of Completion in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 4.4, the Authority shall,
within ten (10) days after written request by the Com-
pany, provide the Company with a written statement indi-
cating -in adequate detail in what respects the Company
has failed to complete the Minimum Improvements in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or is
otherwise in default under the terms of this Agreement,
and what measures or acts it will be necessary, in the
opinion of the Authority, for the Company to take or

debris removal, and collapse in an amount not less
than the full insurable replacement value of the

and shall be endorsed to show the Authority as an
additional insured.
(iii) Such other insurance, including worker's
compensation insurance respecting all employees of
the Company, in such amount as is customarily car-
ried by like organizations engaged in like activ-
ities of comparable size and liability exposure;
provided that the Company may be self-insured with
respect to all or any part of its liability for
worker's compensation.
(c) All insurance required in this Article V shall
be taken out and maintained in responsible insurance
companies selected by the Company which are authorized
under the laws of the State to assume the risks covered
thereby. The Company will deposit annually with the
Authority copies of policies evidencing all such insur-
ance, or a certificate or certificates or binders of the
respective insurers stating that such insurance is in

cate or certificates of the respective insurers as to
the amount of coverage in force upon the Minimum Im-
provements.

shall be paid directly to the Company, and the Company
will forthwith repair, reconstruct and restore the Min-
imum Improvements to substantially the same or an im-
proved condition or value as they existed prior to the
event causing such damage and, to the extent necessary
to accomplish such repair, reconstruction and restora-
tion, the Company will apply the Net Proceeds of any
insurance relating to such damage received by the Com-
pany to the payment or reimbursement of the costs
thereof.
Net Proceeds of any insurance relating to damage or
destruction to the Minimum Improvements or any portion
thereof as a result of fire or other casualty in an
amount estimated to equal or exceed $500,000 shall be
payable to a trustee jointly agreed upon by the Company,
the Authority and the Holder of the First Mortgage and
shall be subject to such disbursement provisions as
shall be jointly agreed by the Authority, the Company
and the Holder of the First Mortgage. In the event the
Minimum Improvements or any portion thereof is destroyed

relating to such damage or destruction received by the
Company from the Authority to the payment or reimburse-

disbursed by the Authority to the Company.
(f) Any other provision of this Section 5.1 not-
withstanding, if temporary or permanent construction
financing for the Minimum Improvements is funded with
the proceeds of a public sale of Industrial Revenue
Bonds issued by the City or the Authority, the Authority
hereby agrees that, until such time as the Bonds and all
interest and premium, if any, thereon shall be paid in
full, the applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement
(or any similar document) executed with respect to such
Bonds shall control the payment, application and dis-
bursement of any Net Proceeds of insurance with.respect
to the Project. With respect to any other construction
financing for the Minimum Improvements, application of
proceeds of insurance shall be subject to the provisions
of such intercreditor agreement or similar agreement as
shall be approved by the Authority. This Subsection
5.1(f) notwithstanding, this Section 5.1 otherwise shall
remain in full force and effect with respect to the
Developers' obligations to maintain insurance, notify
the Authority of any casualty thereto, and reconstruct
the Minimum Improvements upon casualty, unless provision
is made to the satisfaction of the Authority for the
payment or discharge of the Tax Increment Bonds and
reimbursement of all other public redevelopment costs
incurred by the City and the Authority in connection
with the Project.
Section 5.2. Condemnation.
(a) In the event that title to and possession of
the Minimum Improvements or any material part thereof
shall be taken in condemnation or by the exercise of the
power of eminent domain by any governmental body or
other person (except the Authority or the City) so long
as either the Assessment Agreement shall remain in
effect or there shall be any unpaid principal balance on
the Promissory Note, the Company shall, with reasonable
5 - 4
promptness after such taking, notify the Authority as to
the nature and extent of such taking. Upon receipt of
any Condemnation Award the Company shall elect to
either: (a) use the entire Condemnation Award to recon-
struct the Minimum Improvements (or, in the event only a
part of Minimum Improvements have -been taken, then to
reconstruct such part) upon the Development Property or
elsewhere within the Project Area; or (b) pay to the
Authority out of the Condemnation Award, to the extent
any such Condemnation Award is sufficient for such pur-
pose: (i) if prior to the Termination Date, the present
value of the sum of the real property taxes which would
have been assessed upon the Improved Parcel between the
date of such condemnation and the Termination Date, such
calculation to be based upon (A) the Assessor's Minimum
Market Value specified in the Assessment Agreement pur-
suant to Section 6.1, and (B) the then -effective mill
rate upon the date of such condemnation, such sum to be
discounted to present value based upon (A) the number of
years between the date of such condemnation and the
Termination Date, and (B) the interest rate on the Prom-
issory Note; and (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance
of the Promissory Note, if any.
(b) Any other provisions of the foregoing para-
graph notwithstanding, if temporary or permanent con-
struction financing for the Project is funded with the
proceeds of a public sale of Industrial Revenue Bonds as
discussed in Section 5.1(f), until such time as the
principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds
shall have been paid in full, the proceeds of any Con-
demnation Award received with respect to the Minimum
Improvements shall be first paid, applied and disbursed
as provided in the Loan Agreement (or any similar docu-
ment) executed with respect to such Bonds, with any
excess received by the Company to be applied as provided
in the foregoing paragraph. With respect to any other
construction financing for the Minimum Improvements,
application of Net Proceeds of any condemnation award
shall be subject to the provisions of such intercreditor
agreement or similar agreement as shall be approved by
the Authority.
Section 5.3. Modification for Benefit of Mortgagees.
In order to facilitate the obtaining of financing for the
construction of the Minimum Improvements, the Authority
agrees that it shall agree to any reasonable modification of
this Articie V with respect to the disposition of the Net
Proceeds of any insurance or any Condemnation Award to
accommodate the interests of the Holder of the First Mort-
gage; provided, however, that the Authority determines, in
its reasonable judgment, that any such modification(s) will
5 - 5
adequately protect the legitimate interests and security of
the Authority with respect to the Project and the Redevelop-
ment Project.

ARTICLE VI
Assessment Agreement
Section 6.1. Execution of Assessment _Agreement. The
Company shall agree to, and with the Authority shall exe-
cute, prior to purchase of the Development Property by the
Authority or reconveyance thereof to the Company, an Assess-
ment Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Stat-
utes 273.76, Subdivision 8, specifying the Assessor's Mini-
mum Market Value for the Improved Parcel for calculation of
real property taxes, executed by the Company and the First
MortV.gagee. If the Company has purchased the Development
Property on a contract for deed, and the Assessment Agree-
ment is executed prior to the. time fee title has vested in
the Company, the Company shall cause the contract for deed
vendor to join in the execution of the Assessment Agree-
ment. Specifically, the Company shall agree to a market
value for the Improved Parcel which will result in an
assessed value as of January 2, 1986, of not less than
Forty-one Million Dollars ($41,000,000)(such market value,
the Assessor's Minimum Market Value). Nothing in the As-
sessment Agreement shall limit the discretion of the asses-
sor to assign a market value to the property in excess of
such Assessor's Minimum Market Value nor prohibit the Com-
pany from seeking through the exercise of legal or.admini-
strative remedies a reduction in such market value for prop-
erty tax purposes, provided however, that the Company shall
not seek a reduction of such market value below the
Assessor's Minimum Market Value in any year so long as the
Assessment Agreement shall remain in effect. The Assessment
Agreement shall remain in effect until December 31, 1994
(the "Termination Date"). The Assessment Agreement shall be
certified by the Assessor for the City as provided in Minne-
sota Statutes, Section 273.76'Subdivision 8, upon a finding
by the Assessor that the Assessor's Minimum Market Value
represents a reasonable estimate based upon the plans and
specifications for the improvements to be constructed on the
Development Property and the market value previously
assigned to the Development Property. Pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 273.76, Subdivision 8, the Assessment
Agreement shall be filed for record in the office of the
county recorder or registrar of titles of Scott County, and
such filing shall constitute notice to any subsequent encum-
brancer or purchaser of the Development Property, whether
voluntary or involuntary, and such Assessment Agreement
shall be binding and enforceable in its entirety against any
such subsequent purchaser or encumbrancer, including the
Holder of the First Mortgage.

Section 6.2. Real Property Taxes.
(a) The Company shall pay all real property taxes
payable with respect to the Development Property and
pursuant to the provisions of the Assessment Agreement
and any other statutory or -contractual duty which shall
accrue subsequent to the date of its acquisition of
title to the Development Property and until the Com-
pany's -obligations have been assumed by any other person
with the written consent of the Authority and pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) The Company agrees that prior to the Termina-
tion Date:
(i) It will not seek administrative review or
judicial review of the applicability of any tax
statute relating to the taxation of real property
contained on the Development Property determined by
any Tax Official to be applicable to the project
or the Company or raise the inapplicability of any
such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings,
including delinquent tax proceedings; provided,
however, "tax statute" does not include any local
ordinance or resolution levying a tax;
(ii) It will not seek administrative review or
judicial review of the constitutionality of any tax
statute relating to the taxation of real property
contained on the Development Property determined by
any Tax Official to be applicable to the project or
the Company or raise the unconstitutionality of any
such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings,
including delinquent tax proceedings; provided,
however, "tax statute" does not include any local
ordinance or resolution levying a tax;
(iii) It will not seek any tax deferral or
abatement, either presently or prospectively autho-
rized under Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.86, or
any other State or federal law, of the taxation of
real property contained in the Development Property
between the date of execution of this Agreement and
the Termination Date.
Section 6.3.A Certain Cuaranties: Letter of Credit.
(a) Letter of Credit. Prior to issuance of the
Tax Increment Bonds or acquisition of the Development
Property, the Company shall provide to the City an irre-
vocable Letter of Credit securing payment of principal
and interest on the Tax Increment Bonds. The Letter of
6 - 2
Credit shall be in an amount equal to either of the
following amounts, at the option of the City: (i) the
highest total of principal and interest which shall be
payable with respect to the Tax Increment Bonds in any
single calendar year, or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of
the estimated annual ad valorem real estate taxes pay-
able with respect to the Project, such calculation to be
based "on the Assessor's Minimum Market Value and the
1985 mill rate for the City if available, or, if the
1985 mill rate is not available, the 1984 mill rate;
provided, however, that in the event that the amount
calculated pursuant to clause (i) is more than one hun-
dred twenty percent (120%) of the amount calculated
pursuant to clause (ii), the City shall require a Letter
of Credit in the amount of clause (ii). The Company
shall maintain the Letter of Credit at least through
December 31, 1994; provided, however, that the Company
may provide annual or other Letters of Credit having a
lesser term in satisfaction of this Section 6.3(a) if
each such Letter of Credit provides by its terms that it
may be drawn upon in full if a replacement Letter of
Credit meeting the requirements of this Section 6.3(a)
has not been provided at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration date of such Letter of Credit.
The Letter of Credit shall be a single draw Letter
of Credit, and shall provide that if the Company shall
not timely pay any installment of ad valorem real estate
taxes assessed with respect to the Development Property
or any improvements thereon, and such default is not
cured within thirty (30) days of receipt of written
notice of such default by the Company and the bank issu-
ing such Letter of Credit, the City shall be authorized
to draw upon the Letter of Credit to the extent of its
full face amount. The City agrees that it shall draw on
the Letter of Credit prior to submitting any draw under
any Guaranty provided pursuant to Section 6.3(b). The
Letter of Credit shall be issued by a bank or financial
institution reasonably acceptable to the City. The City
must receive simultaneously with the Letter of Credit an
opinion of counsel to the issuing bank or financial in-
stitution addressed to the City to the effect that: (i)
counsel is not aware of any facts or circumstances that
would lead counsel to believe that the Letter of Credit
is not a legally binding and valid obligation of the
issuing bank or financial institution except to the ex-
tent the enforcement of such obligation may be limited
by laws relating to bankruptcy or reorganization of the
issuing bank or financial institution or by other
similar laws of general application affecting the rights
of creditors or the issuing bank or financial institu-
tion or by equitable remedies of the City or the Holders
6 - 3
of the Bonds against the issuing bank or financial in-
stitution, (ii) the bank or financial institution
issuing the Letter of Credit is organized and existing
under the laws of the United States of America or
applicable State law and (iii) the Letter of Credit
qualifies as an obligation which the issuing bank or
financial institution is permitted to issue under the
laws of the United States of America or applicable State
law.
If the Tax Increment Bonds shall be refunded by the
City, and if prior to such refunding the Letter of
Credit has not been drawn upon, the Company shall be
required to provide to the City a Letter of Credit with
respect to the refunding bonds conforming in all re-
spects with the provisions of this Section 6.3(a).
(b) Guaranties. Additionally, prior to purchase
of the Development Property by the Authority, the Com-
pany shall be required to provide to the City personal
and corporate guaranties (the "Guaranties"), as the case
may be, securing payment of principal and interest on
the Tax Increment Bonds from the following individuals
and corporations:
(cumulatively, the
"Guarantors"). The Guaranties may be several and not
joint but shall cumulatively be in an aggregate amount
equal to the sum of (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the
principal amount of the Tax Increment Bonds and (ii)
twenty-five percent (25%) of the interest payable on the
Tax Increment Bonds to and including the stated maturity
date thereof. The Guaranties shall provide that in the
event that the Company shall not timely pay any install-
ment of ad valorem real property taxes assessed with
respect to the Development Property or any improvements
thereon, and such default is not cured within thirty
(30) days of provision of written notice to the Company
and the Guarantors thereof, then each Guarantor shall
pay to the City the full amount guaranteed pursuant to
such Guaranty within five (5) days of receipt of a
demand therefor from the City; provided, however, that
if the City has submitted a draw and received payment
under the Letter of Credit provided pursuant to Section
6.3(a), then each Guarantor shall be entitled to a
credit against the amount guaranteed by such Guarantor
equal to the product of (i) the ratio which the amount
guaranteed by such Guarantor bears to the cumulative
amount guaranteed under all the Guaranties, times (ii)
the amount guaranteed by such Guarantor; and provided
further, that if the City shall in no event seek to draw
an aggregate amount under the Guaranties in excess of
the sum of the remaining principal and interest payable
6 - 4
on the Tax Increment Bonds to the stated maturity
thereof, less any amounts collected under the Letter of
Credit and available therefor.
(c) The City shall apply all funds collected under
the Letter of Credit or the Guaranties for payment of
principal and interest. on the Tax Increment Bonds as
they shall become due.
Section 6.4. Payment and Performance Bond. The Company
shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, a payment and per-
formance bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Authority, to assure completion of the Project by the con-
tractor.

struction of the Minimum Improvements by the Company, the

tionally be subject to the provisions of Section 7.3.

the City. The provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 notwith-
standing, neither the City nor the Authority shall have any
obligation to the Company under this Agreement to issue the
Tax Increment Bonds or to commence or continue construction
of the Offsite Improvements except upon the continuing exis-
tence of the following condi,tions:
(i) The Company has been awarded the Franchise and
the Franchise remains in good standing and no material
and meritorious litigation has been commenced and is
continuing with respect to the Franchise or the Company
which, if resolved unfavorably to the Company, would
result either in revocation of the Franchise or in the
inability of the Company to proceed with the Project;
(ii) The City and the Authority are not entitled
under Section 10.02 to exercise any of the remedies set
forth therein as a result of an Event of Default; and
(iii) There has not been, nor does there occur, a
substantial change for the worse in the financial re -
7 - 3
sources and ability of the Company, or a substantial
decrease in the financing commitments secured by the

and obligations under this Agreement.

successor in interest to the Development Property or any
part thereof shall engage in any financing or any other
transaction creating any mortgage or other encumbrance or
lien upon the Development Property, other than Permitted
Encumbrances, whether by express agreement or operation of
law, or suffer any encumbrance or lien to be made on or
attach to the Development Property, other than Permitted
Encumbrances, except the Authority Mortgage, except:
(a) for the purposes of obtaining funds only to
the extent necessary for making the Minimum Improvements
(including, but not limited to, labor and materials,
equipment, professional fees, real estate taxes, con-
struction interest, organizational and other indirect
costs of development, costs of constructing the Minimum
Improvements, an allowance for contingencies, land ac-
quisition cost of the Development Property, costs of
issuance of any bond issue to fund construction or ac-
quisition of the Project, amounts required to fund any
bond reserves relating to construction or acquisition of

escrow accounts); and
(b) only upon the prior written approval of the
Authority in accordance with Sections 8.1 and 8.2.
The Authority shall not approve any Mortgage which does not
contain terms that conform to the terms of Section 8.5,
except as provided in Section 8.6 of this Agreement.

mortgage documents;
(b) the mortgage loan, together with other funds
available to the Company, will, in the reasonable judg-
ment of the Authority, be sufficient to construct the
Minimum Improvements;

under.Section 10.02'to exercise any of the remedies set
forth therein as a result of an Event of Default; and
8 1
(d) the Authority determines that the terms of the

However, the approval of a mortgage by the Authority shall
not be unreasonably withheld. Any Mortgage which is sub-
ordinated -to the rights of the Authority Mortgage may be
granted in all or any part of the Development Property with-
out the approval of the Authority.

by the Agreement at the last address of such Holder shown in
the records of the Authority.
Section 8.4. Mortgagee's Option to Cure Defaults.
After any breach or default referred to in Section 8.3, each
such Holder shall (insofar as the rights of the Authority
are concerned) have the right, at its option, to cure or
remedy such breach or default (or such breach or default to
the extent that it relates to the part of the Development
Property covered by its mortgage) and to add the cost
thereof to the Mortgage debt and the lien of its Mortgage;
provided, however, that if the breach or default is with
respect to construction of the Minimum Improvements, nothing
contained in this Section or any other Section of this
Agreement shall be deemed to require such Holder, either
before or after foreclosure or action in lieu thereof, to
undertake or continue the construction or completion of the
Minimum Improvements (beyond the extent necessary to con-
serve or protect Minimum Improvements or construction al-
ready made), provided that any such Holder shall not devote
the Development Property to a use inconsistent with the
Development Plan or this Agreement without the agreement of
the Authority.
Section 8.5. Authority's Option to Cure Default on
Mortgage. Any Mortgage (other than the Authority Mortgage)
executed by the Company with respect to the Development

the event that the Company is in default under any Mortgage
authorized pursuant to this Article VIII, the Holder shall
notify the Authority in writing of:
(-a) the fact of the default;
(b) the elements of the default; and
(c) the actions required to cure the default.
8 - 2
If the default is an "Event of Default" under such Mortgage,
which shall entitle such Holder to foreclose upon the Devel-
opment Property, the Minimum Improvements or any portion
thereof, and any applicable grace periods have expired, the
Authority shall have, and each Mortgage executed by the
Company with respect to the Development Property or any
improvements thereon shall provide that the Authority shall
have such an opportunity to cure the "Event of Default"
within such reasonable time period as the Holder shall deem
appropriate.
Section 8.6. Subordination and Modification for the
Benefit of Mortgagees.
(a) In addition to -the subordination of the
Authority Mortgage as provided in Section 3.4(d), in
order to facilitate the obtaining of financing for the
construction of the Minimum Improvements by the Company,
the Authority agrees to subordinate its rights under the
Development Property Deed and this Agreement to the
Holder of the First Mortgage for the purposes described
in Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement, but only provided
that the First Mortgage provides that if the Holder of
the First Mortgage shall foreclose on the Development
Property, the improvements thereon, or any portion
thereof, or accept a deed to the Development Property in
lieu of foreclosure, it shall consent to the Assessor's
Minimum Market Value set forth in the Assessment Agree-
ment.
(b) In order to facilitate the obtaining of fin-
ancing for the construction of the Minimum Improvements,
the Authority agrees that it shall agree to any reason-
able modification of this Article VIII or waiver of its
rights hereunder to accommodate the interests of the
Holder of the First Mortgage, provided, however, that
the Authority determines, in its reasonable judgment,
that any such modification(s) will adequately protect
the legitimate interests and security of the Authority
with respect to the Project and the Redevelopment
Plan. The Authority also agrees to consider such modi-
fication(s) of this Article VIII with respect to other
Holders, and to agree to such modifications if the
Authority deems such modification(s) necessary and rea-
sonable.

fulfill those obligations, in which case the pre-
ceding provisions of this Section 9.2(b)(ii) shall
not apply); provided, however, that the fact that
any transferee of, or any other successor in inter-
est whatsoever to, the Development Property, or any
part thereof, shall not, for whatever reason, have
assumed such obligations or so agreed, shall not
(unless and only to the extent otherwise specifi-
cally provided in this Agreement or agreed to in
writing by the Authority) deprive the Authority of
any rights or remedies or controls with respect to
the Development Property or the construction of the
Minimum Improvements; it being the intent of the
Parties as expressed in this Agreement that (to the
fullest extent permitted at law and in equity and
excepting only in the manner and to the extent
specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement)
no transfer of, or change with respect to, owner-
ship in the Development Property or any part
thereof, or any interest therein, however consum-
mated or occurring, and whether voluntary or invol-
untary, shall operate, legally or practically, to
deprive -or limit the Authority of or with respect
to any rights or remedies or controls provided in
or resulting from this Agreement with respect to
the_ Development Property and the construction of
the Minimum Improvements that the Authority would
have had, had there been no such transfer or
change. In the absence of specific written agree-
ment by the Authority to the contrary, no such
transfer or approval by the Authority thereof shall
be deemed to relieve the Company, or any other
party bound in any way by this Agreement or other-
wise with respect to the construction of the Mini-
mum Improvements, from any of its obligations with
respect thereto.
(iii) There shall be submitted to the Authority
for review and prior written approval all instru-
ments and other legal documents involved in effec-
ting the transfer of any interest in this Agreement
or the Development Property governed by this Arti-
cle IX.
Section 9.3. Release and Indemnification Covenants.

City and the governing body members, officers, agents,
servants and employees thereof (hereinafter, for pur-
poses of this Section 9.3, the "indemnified parties")
from, covenants and agrees that the indemnified parties
shall not be liable for, and agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the indemnified parties against, any loss
or damage to property or any injury to or death of any
person occurring at or about or resulting from any de-

require the Company to indemnifv the indemnified parties
as to the consequences of any negligent or wrongful act
_of any of thg ind mnifipd narties, their o fi ars
-agents, servants or employees
(b) Except for any willful misrepresentation or
any willful or wanton misconduct or any unlawful act of
the indemnified parties, the ,Company agrees to protect
and defend the indemnified parties, now or forever, and
further agrees to hold the indemnified parties harmless,
from any claim, demand, suit, action or other proceeding
whatsoever by any person or entity whatsoever arising or
purportedly arising (i) from any violation of any agree -
9 - 3
ment or condition of this Agreement (except with respect
to any suit, action, demand or other proceeding brought
by the Company against the City or the Authority to
enforce its rights under this Agreement) or (ii) the
acquisition, construction, installation, ownership, and
operation of the Project.
(c) 'The indemnified parties shall not be liable
for any . damage or injury to the persons or property of
the Company or its officers, agents, servants or em-
ployees or any other person who may be about the Project
due to any act of negligence of any person, other than
any act of negligence on the part of any such indemni-
fied party or its officers, agents, servants or employ-
ees.
(d) All covenants, stipulations, promises, agree-
ments and obligations of the Authority and the City _
contained herein shall be deemed to be the covenants, y
stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of
the Authority and the City, respectively, and not of any
governing body member, officer, agent, servant or em-
ployee of the Authority or the City in the individual
capacity thereof.
Section 9.4. Approvals. Any approval of a transfer of
interest in the Company, this Agreement, or the Development
Property required to be given by the Authority under this
Article IX may be denied only in the event that the Author-
ity reasonably determines that the ability of the Company to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, or the overall _
financial security provided to the Authority under the terms
of this Agreement, or the likelihood of the Minimum Improve-
ments being successfully constructed and operated pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, will be materially impaired

ject to any__rights or interests in such property or resale
granted to any Holder pursuant to Section 8.6 and previously

Property or part thereof as soon and in such manner as the
Authority shall find feasible and consistent with the objec-
tives of such law and of the Redevelopment Plan to a quali-
fied and responsible party or parties (as determined by the

gation of making or completing the Minimum Improvements or
such other improvements in their stead as shall be satis-
factory to the Authority and in accordance with the uses
specified for such Development Property or part thereof in

ity, upon such resale of the Development Property the pro-
ceeds thereof shall be applied:

ment Property;

pay the principal of, and interest on, each such Mort-
gage in full, then such proceeds of the resale as are

ity, or by mutual agreement of all contending parties
including the Company, o -r by operation of law;

the Development Property or part thereof (but less any
income derived by the Authority from the property or
part thereof in connection with such management); any
payments made or necessary to be made to discharge any
encumbrances or liens (except for Mortgages) existing on
the Development Property or part thereof at the time of
revesting of title thereto in the Authority or to dis-
charge or prevent from attaching or being made any sub-
sequent encumbrances or liens due to obligations, de-
faults or acts of the Company, its successors or trans-
ferees (except with respect to Mortgages); any expendi-
tures made or obligations incurred with respect to the
making or completion of the Minimum Improvements or any
part thereof on the Development Property or part
thereof; and any amounts otherwise owing to the City or
to the Authority (including water and sewer charges) by
the Company and its successors or transferees; the
Authority shall reimburse any moneys retained by the
Authority on behalf of the City under this Section
10.4(c) to the City within 30 days of the date of final
distribution of the proceeds of sale of the Development

amount equal to (i) the sum of the Repurchase Price paid
to the Authority for the Development Property (or allo-
cable to the part thereof) and the cash actually in-
vested by the Company in making any of the Minimum Im-
provements on the Development Property or part thereof,
less (ii) any gains or income withdrawn or made by it
from this Agreement or the Development Property.
Any balance remaining after such reimbursements shall be
retained by the Authority as its property.
Section 10.5. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Authority is intended to
be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but
each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be
in addition to every other -remedy given under this Agreement
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by stat-
ute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power
accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or
power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any
such right and power may be exercised from time to time and
as often as may be deemed expedient.
Section 10.6. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Wai-
ver. In the event any agreement contained in this Agreement
should be breached by any Party and thereafter waived by any
10 - 5
other Party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular
breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other
concurrent, previous or subsequent breach hereunder.
Section 10.7. Agreement to Pay Attorney's Fees and
Expenses. Whenever any Event of Default occurs and the
Authority shall employ attorneys or incur other expenses for
the collection of payments due or to become due or for the
enforcement or performance or observance of any obligation
or agreement on the part of the Company herein contained,
the Company agrees that it shall, on demand therefor, pay to
the Authority the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such
other expenses so incurred by the Authority.
Section 10.8. Non -Recourse Obligations. It is recog-
nized that the Promissory Note and the Authority Mortgage
and other obligations hereunder are non-recourse obligations
of the Company, that as a result thereof this Agreement is
not intended to create any personal liability for the "debt"
authorized to be created, and that accordingly the remedies
available to the City and the Authority upon an Event of
Default insofar as they relate to the payment of any obliga-
tions hereunder are limited to the rights and remedies
against the Development Property and such other security to
secure the obligations as are given the City and the Author-
ity under the guarantees required by Section 6.3. - .

Agreement in any manner whatsoever, the Authority will, in
good faith, consider the request with a view to granting the

O'CONNOR & HANNAN
MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 11, 1984
TO: Mayor and City Councilmembers, City of Shakopee
FROM: O'Connor & Hannan, Wood Kidner
SUBJECT: Approval of Amended Development Agreement and
Related Documents
Mayor and Councilmembers:
Enclosed for your review are the resolutions proposed to be
adopted by the City and the HRA tomorrow night with respect to amend-
ing the Contract for Private Development for Minnesota Racetrack, Inc.
("MRI"). In addition to approving the Amended Development Agreement,
the resolutions also provide for approval and execution by the City
and the HRA of certain other documents, specifically a Subordination
Agreement and Inter -creditor Agreement relating to the Amended Develop-
ment Agreement, and make certain findings with respect to satisfaction
of certain conditions under the Development Agreement by MRI.—The
Subordination Agreement and Inter -creditor Agreement have been re-
quested by Twin City Federal Savings and Loan, the proposed construc-
tion lender for the racetrack. These two agreement have the effect
of subordinating the rights of the City and the HRA under the Develop-
ment Agreement and the HRA's Mortgage to the rights of TCF under its
Mortgage securing the construction financing. The necessity of this
subordination was anticipated and provided for in the Development
Agreement, and will not materially affect the City's security for
its Bonds or its $3,000,000 Promissory Note as such security has been
described in previous memorandums from Jim Casserly and myself. I
apologize for the abruptness with which these additional documents
are submitted for review; however, I received them myself on Friday
afternoon. TCF has indicated that it will not close the construc-
tion loan unless these documents are approved by the City and the
HRA. In turn, the Racing Commission has set a deadline of Friday,
June 15 for MRI to finalize its construction financing. Therefore
immediate attention by the City is required. I have reviewed TCF's
Mortgage and Construction Loan Agreement and the Subordination Agree- _
ment and Inter -creditor Agreement, and with certain revisions which
TCF's counsel, Mackall, Crounse & Moore, have agreed to, find them
consistent with the provisions and intent of the Development Agree- f
ment. Copies of the Subordination Agreement and the Inter -creditor
Agreement enclosed herewith are drafts, but I have been assured that
final copies incorporating the suggested revisions will be ready
tomorrow.
Mayor and City Councilmembers
City of Shakopee
June 11, 1984
Briefly, the findings to be made tomorrow by the City and the
HRA, and their effect, are as follows:
1. Approval of Amended Development Agreement. The draft of
the Amended Development Agreement circulated last Friday reflects
all material changes to the terms of the Agreement between MRI, the
City and the HRA. I will prepare an execution draft of the Amended
Development Agreement which will (i) allow the HRA to issue the Tax
Increment Bonds should such Bonds be issued as revenue bonds, (ii)
list the specific guarantors in Section 6.3, (iii) include a final
legal description of the portion of the Development Property which
may be conveyed without HRA approval under Section 9.2, and (iv) in-
clude certain other minor revisions for purposes of clarification.
John Anderson has indicated to me that some questions have been
raised with respect to the new provisions in Section 9.2 allowing
sale of a certain portion of the Development Property by MRI without
prior approval of the HRA. The real estate involved was included
by MRI in the initial application to the Racing Commission because
there was insufficient time to secure necessary City approvals for
subdivision prior to the deadline for submitting the application;
however, it was my understanding that it was never intended to con-
stitute a part of the racetrack site. I have reviewed the site plan
for the proposed facility and a survey, and no part of the proposed
facility itself is to be located on the land subject to be released
without HRA approval. Therefore, I do not believe this provision
effects the City's security or control with respect to the Project.
It is my understanding that it is the intention of MRI to reconvey
this parcel to the original owners, subject to an agreement that
MRI can retain the property if necessary to provide adequate drainage
from the racetrack facility.
2. Approval of Subordination Agreement. The Development Agree-
ment provides that the City and the HRA will subordinate the Develop-
ment Agreement and the HRA's Mortgage to construction financing for
the Project, provided that (i) such Mortgage provides for notice
to the HRA and an opportunity to cure upon occurrence of a default
under the Mortgage, and (ii) the lender agree to the market value
established by the Assessment Agreement. TCF's counsel has agreed
to provide a revised draft of the Mortgage including an acceptable
cross -cure provision prior to the Council meeting tomorrow night.
Additionally, TCF has agreed to execute the Assessment Agreement,
and such execution as a condition precedent to the obligations of
the City and the HRA to issue the Bonds or purchase the Development
Property.

City of Shakopee
June 11, 1984
3. Approval of Inter -creditor Agreement. The Inter -creditor
Agreement governs the application of any insurance proceeds or
condemnation award received with respect to the racetrack facility.
It would supercede the provisions of Article 5 of the Development
Agreement. The Inter -creditor Agreement provides that such moneys
will be used first to reconstruct the Project, unless, in the opinion
of TCF, such reconstruction is not feasible. If reconstruction is
not feasible, such proceeds will be paid first to TCF to pay all
amounts owing with respect to the construction loan, with any re-
mainder being paid next to the City and HRA for application in the
following order: (i) payment of the Promissory Note; (ii) reimburse-
ment of all other public and redevelopment costs incurred by the
City or the HRA in connection with the Project; and (iii) payment
and discharge of the tax increment bonds, to the extent such payment
is allowable under the documents authorizing the issuance of such
bonds. Such proceeds are to be applied to payment of the Promissory
Note before payment of the Bonds because (i) the City's security
with respect to the Bonds under the Assessment Agreement and guarantees
required by Section 6.3 of the Development Agreement is superior to
the City's security for repayment of the Promissory Note, and (ii)
under existing federal tax law, the City probably will not be able
to use insurance proceeds toward payment of the tax increment bonds
in an amount in excess of 25% of the debt service on the tax incre-
ment bonds without making such bonds industrial development bonds,
with the possible effect of making such bonds taxable retroactively.
It is my opinion that even though, in the unlikely event that the
racetrack would not be reconstructed following casualty, insurance
proceeds are payable first to discharge the debt to TCF, that the
City is adequately protected as both TCF's loan documents and the
Development Agreement require MRI to carry insurance in the amount
of the total value of the Project, which is in excess of the sum of
the TCF Mortgage, the HRA's Promissory Note and the proposed tax
increment bonds.
4. Certain Findings. The HRA resolution also contains find-
ings by the HRA approving the construction plans for the Project
and approving the TCF Mortgage. The Development Agreement requires
HRA approval of the construction plans essentially upon a finding
that such plans are consistent with the scope of the Project as
proposed by MRI. This approval does not have the effect of waiving
any City requirements with respect to zoning, building code or other
matters. Additionally, the Development Agreement requires that any
mortgage superior to the HRA's Mortgage be entered into by MRI only
upon approval by the Authority. TCF has requested that the Authority
make these findings prior to closing on the construction loan.
I will be at the City Council meeting tomorrow night to answer
any questions you may have with respect to these or other matters.

as of February 28, 1984 (the "Original Development
Agreement"), with respect to the acquisition and
construction within the City by MRI of a thoroughbred horse-
racing facility (the "Project"). The Original Development
Agreement was negotiated and executed in anticipation of
award of Class A and Class B racing franchises to MRI by the
Minnesota Racing Commission. It was understood by all par-
ties to the Original Development Agreement that should MRI

probably be necessary to amend the provisions of the
Original Development Agreement to accommodate the interests
of the construction lender for the Project. Additionally,
the Original Development Agreement provided that, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions, the City would
subordinate its rights under the Original Development Agree-
ment to the lien of any mortgage securing the primary con-
struction and/or permanent financing for the Project and

an Inter -Creditor Agreement between the City and the Holder
of the First Mortgage (as defined in the Original Develop-
ment Agreement) with respect to the application of any in-
surance proceeds or condemnation award payable with respect
to the Project.
1.02. Twin City Federal Savings and Loan Association
("TCF") proposes to provide construction financing for the
Project in the amount of $25,000,000 and proposes to have
executed to secure such financing certain mortgage docu-
ments, including a Mortgage and Security Agreement in sub-
stantially attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Mortgage") and
a Construction Loan Agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Construction Loan Agree-
ment"). TCF has requested that as a condition of such
financing the City (i) make certain revisions to the
Original Development Agreement, (ii) execute a Subordination
Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C (the "Subordination Agreement") subordinating the
rights of the City and the Authority under the Development
Agreement, the Authority Mortgage and the Development
Property Deed to the TCF Mortgage, and (iii) execute an
Inter -creditor Agreement substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit D (the "Inter -Creditor Agreement").
1.03. MRI has requested certain revisions to the
Original Development Agreement to facilitate financing of
the Project.
1.04. The Council has received and reviewed the
proposed amendment to the Original Development Agreement, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Amended Develop-
ment Agreement") and are of the opinion that execution of
the Amended Development Agreement will facilitate financing
and construction of the Project and is in the best interests
of the City and the Authority.

thereof by the Mayor shall be conclusive evidence of such
determination.

MEMO TO: John K. Anderson,
FROM: Judi Simac, City
RE: Directional Signs
DATE: June 7, 1984
Introduction:
City Administrator
Planner
for the Racetrack Construction
A representative of Kraus -Anderson Construction has inquired
about obtaining a temporary sign permit to erect four 32 sq. ft.
directional signs in the vicinity of the racetrack construction
site. The signs would be located as such: one on CR 83, one at
the gate on CR 83, one on 4th Avenue, one at the gate on 4th Av-
enue.
Background:
The sign ordinance does not require permits for signs that
meet the provisions of Section 4..30, Subd. 3, S:
"One directional sign for each seperately owned tract of
land is permitted in all districts. Directional signs shall
bear no advertising and shall not exceed four square feet in
area. Temporary directional signs shall be removed within
seven (7) days after termination of the function for which
said signs are employed."
It is my interpretation of this section that Kraus -Anderson
would have to apply for a variance from this provision of the
code to erect the proposed signs or comply by placing one dir-
ectional sign no larger than 4 sq. ft. on the subject property.
The next meeting of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals is
July 12, 1984.
It has been brought to my attention that this matter may
be addressed under Section 4.30, Subd. 3, N regarding portable
signs. The code states, "A portable sign used for the purpose
of directing the public may be permitted upon issuance of a
Temporary Sign Permit under the following conditions:
I. Said sign is coincidental to, or used in conjunction
with, a public function.
2. The period of use of said sign shall not exceed ten
(10) days.
3. Prior approval of a majority of the Council shall be
required for the use of any such sign.
Should this provision prove applicable, Kraus -Anderson
would have to apply for a temporary sign permit every ten days.
Alternatives:
1. Approve staff interpretation of the directional sign
provisions which would require Kraus -Anderson to apply
for a variance to construct the proposed signs.
2. Recommend that the proposed signage is determined to
be portable and shall be permitted a temporary sign
permit to be applied for and issued every ten days.
3. Recommend that the proposed sign is determined to
be portable and shall be issued a temporary sign
permit for a specific period of time with a specific
application fee.
4. Recommend that the proposed signage is determined to
be directional, which will require a variance from
the sign ordinance, however a temporary sign permit
shall be issued for the interim time period prior to
the July 12, 1984 Board of Adjustment and Appeals
Meeting.
Recommendations:
Staff recommends alternative #1.
Action Requested:
Motion to approve staff interpretation of the sign ordinance
regarding directional signs.

Radio Shack provided a written proposal to replace our system
with basically what we have now. The only difference would be
the units would be smaller. Their replacement bid is $19,462.95.
Figures for hourly maintenance costs are not firmed up yet. It
is estimated to be $35.00 to $40.00 per hour. To my knowledge,
we have used a minimum of repair other than our base unit in the
11 years I have been here.
Recommendation:
My recommendation is to purchase our present system.
Action Requested:
Authorize the appropriate City Officials to execute equipment pur-
chase agreements with AT&T for the purchase of the City's present
telephone system at a cost not to exceed $5,712.09.

in conjunction with the new race track. Motioned by Mr. Furrie,
seconded by Mr. O'Neill , that it is the consensus of the
Industrial Catmercial Commission that a considerable amount of
time, efforts and thought have been put into the formulation of
the zoning ordinances and other regulations affecting building
within the City of Shakopee. It is the further consensus of the
Industrial Can-ercial Commission that no significant changes
should be made in these ordinances, including especially changes
involving design criteria, should be made without extensive dialogue
among all members of the community who may be affected, including
but not limited to developers, merchants, realtors, builders,
city staff, etc. Motion was passed unanimously.

FROM: John K. Anderson, City Admin.
RE: Secretarial Staffing For City Hall.
DATE: May 31, 1984
INTRODUCTION
Last Fall we rearranged Secretarial assignments and relo-
cated one Secretary. We entered into this new arrangement on a
trial period basis and have been evaluating it over the past six
months. The trial period evaluation has been complicated because
one Secretary has left, one Secretary took an extended pregnancy
leave, and the third Secretary took a previously planned extended
vacation. We have been working with the three Secretaries who
would be the permanent Secretaries now for more than a month and
some of the problems we experience because of the reassignment of
staffing duties have not gone away. The problems have not gone
away even though City Hall employees have worked hard to make the
new assignments and locational changes work. Employees have done
this because they generally prefer the new arrangement.
PROBLEM
During the trial period Department Heads met periodically
to address problems and gliches in the new arrangement. Nearly
all of the problems have been resolved with the exception of the
work overload on the Secretary shared by the Building Official
and the City Engineer. On May 30th, the Department Heads in
City Hall met again to react to the concerns expressed in the
Building Official and City Engineer's letter of May 25, 1984
(attached). Everyone was in agreement that the overall change
has been successful, that the Secretarial duties as now assigned
were working with the one exception of the work overload on the
shared Building and Engineering Secretary. The overload is most
dramatically illustrated when one reviews the Secretary's time-
sheets and finds that the Engineering Department is receiving
from one-fourth to one-third of her time. Clearly this is inade-
quate.
ALTERNATIVES
City Hall Department Heads have discussed numerous Secretarial
configurations that could be considered as alternatives. These
included sharing Secretarial duties differently so that one Secretary
would not be working for Building and Engineering. The alternatives
discussed also covered numerous combinations of full and part-time
Secretarial staffing and locational placement within the City Hall
Building. Constraints dealt with included the need to have someone
handling telephones with a back-up, someone handling walk-in traffic
with a back-up, flexibility so Secretaries can leave their desk
for copying, filing and use of word processing equipment. These
problems were all compounded by the physical constraints of the
current City Hall Building.

Secretarial Staffing For City Hall.
Page 2
May 31, 1984
One of the key considerations in determining staffing was
the status of current staffing. In 1983, the City had three
full-time Secretarial positions budgeted. In 1984, the City
budgeted 2-3/4 Secretaries to accommodate Jeannette Shaner's
pregnancy leave and help financially with the budget. With the
economic upswing in housing and the Racetrack the City has been
operating with 3-3/5 Secretaries since Jeannette Shaner returned
from pregnancy leave. This increase is not permanently fixed
because we are only obligated to 2-3/4 Secretarial time in terms of
permanent employees. The additional employees are from Holly's
Temporary Service and shared use of the Chamber Secretary for 8 hours
per week.
All of the City Hall Department Heads agreed that the three
permanent Secretaries (one scheduled at 3/4 time) are excellent
and we do not want to lose any of them. Therefore, only two
alternatives were given serious consideration by Department Heads
involved.
1] Hire one full-time Secretary by replacing the temporary
Secretaries which would bring our Secretarial commitments
to 3-3/4 Secretaries. This alternative was rejected by
Department Heads because it lacked the physical flexi-
bility needed to cover all of the unusual constraints
listed above.
21 Hire another permanent part-time Secretary. If this
person were brought in at 3/5th time, the toal permanent
commitment to Secretarial Staffing would be equivalent
to 3-1/5th Secretary. This alternative provided us
with the flexibility of placing one Secretary in Engi-
neering and one in Building. The Engineering Secretary
would be permanent part-time and the Secretary in
Building would be out front carrying on all of the duties
listed in the second to the last paragraph of Page 2 of
the attached memo dated May 25th. Of those duties listed
finance receipting, central files, alpha -files and walk-in
traffic provide services to all Department Heads in City
Hall.
RECOMMENDATION
As we stated when we increased our staffing to 3-3/5ths time
when Jeannette Shaner returned, the City will receive roughly
$250,000.00 in Building Permit income in 1984. This clearly pro-
vides us with the revenue to increase staffing during 1984 which
may well be a peak year because of the Racetrack. Staff recommends
alternative #2 with the addition that the present full-time Tem-
porary Service Secretary be maintained through the month of August.
This is essential because it will allow the permanent part-time
1 .3 r�

Secretary hired for Engineering to spend all of her time learning
the Engineering tasks without numerous other distracting respon-
sibilities. In August we can evaluate staffing needs and dis-
continue the temporary help or continue it for one or two addi-
tional months if the Racetrack demands warrant it. In either
case, we will have the revenues to cover this staffing level.
The attached job description lists the functions of the
Secretary that would serve the Engineering Department.
ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize the appropriate City Officials to advertise for
one permanent part-time Secretary within the pay range established
for Secretaries in the 1984 Secretarial Pay Plan. The Secretary
being hired will be assigned to the Engineering Department and
will work 3/5ths time or 24 hours per week.

RE: Secretarial Help
DATE: May 25, 1984
Introduction:
It isn't working.
Background:
A few months ago in the spirit of cooperation, we agreed to em-
bark upon an experiment in sharing secretarial help in the
interest of cost cutting.
Before entering into this experiment, you assured us you would
review the situation periodically to see if it was a viable
solution to the money problem shortfall we were experiencing.
Twice I have told you it is not working. Bo, the last time,
apparently did not agree with me and decided to try to go the
extra mile for the City's sake and tough it out a little
longer, hoping it may eventually work out.
Now, Bo is also convinced it cannot work and it does not work.
Listed below are the reasons why it won't and doesn't work.
1. My radio doesn't get answered half the time because Cora
is working upstairs.
2. Both of our messages are in error quite often when Cora
doesn't get them.
3. The workload is too great for Cora to handle both of us,
especially during our construction season.
4. Priority items for both of us are a problem. I need things
done at the same time Bo needs things done.
5. Walk-in traffic is a problem. They are not being serviced
in the timely manner they should be when Cora is not at the
desk.
6. Inspection messages are being left on my desk when Cora
is upstairs and I am out on inspections. I should be
contacted regarding them on the radio.
7. Engineering files are not current because Cora is spread
too thin.
8. Insufficient time for Cora to learn Engineering procedures
resulting in delays to legal notices.
9. Engineering Dept. workload being subordinate to Building
Dept. priorities and vice versa as we each see it.
10. Building Inspector and City Engineer have to undertake
secretarial tasks because secretary was unavailable to
perform tasks due to being tied up with Inspector or Engineer.
137--,
My busy season is about a week away. I need Cora at the desk
to schedule inspections, issue permits, channel walk-ins to
the right departments and to generally coordinate the operation
of the Building Dept.
Bo is entering into his busy season and faces these same
problems.
We are about to receive more permit money than any other year
on record. It is not an appropriate time to weaken either one
of our departments.
We both want to make it clear, the reason it is not working
is not because Cora is not competent, willing or trying, it is
because the demand is too great and no matter how we rearrange,
cross train or backup, it won't work. We gave it our best shot,
let's solve it, forget it and move on to other problems to
solve.
Both Bo and I are in agreement Cora should return to regular
duties, i.e., building, finance receipting, permits, central
file, alpha file, CRV's, walk-in traffic, monthly reports, etc.
Walk-in traffic requires more than talking to people and
shipping them down the hall. She has to answer many questions,
run off maps, find legals and sometimes calm angry people when
none of the dept. heads are here to listen to complaints.
