Action Requested
By motion, approve the Resolution approving the Security Interest Subordination Agreement and
Mortgage Subordination Agreement between the Economic Development Authority of the City of Elk
River and First National Bank of Elk River, in relation to Preferred Powder Coating's 100,000 sq. ft. new
construction project.
Background /Discussion
On September 26, 2013 Preferred Powder Coating (PPC) closed on all of the documents necessary to
obtain financing to start their 100,000 sq. ft. project. Since that tune, due to an extended constriction
schedule, PPC has gone over budget on the construction costs. As a result, First National Bank of Elk
River will be increasing its loan obligation to PPC. The FDA's loans were subordinate to the Bank's loan
in the original principal amount of $5,093,000. First National Bank is now requesting that the EDA
consent to being subordinate to the additional $386,000 increased loan amount as well, by approving the
new Subordination Agreements. It is common practice for cities to take subordinate positions in
development projects. All parties have reviewed the documents and are satisfied. In order to keep the
project on schedule, First National Bank and PPC plan to close on the new loan the week of May 19,
2014. The FDA's attorney from Kennedy Graven, will be available for questions.
