Consider Resolution Providing for the Issuance and Sale
of Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds to Provide Funds
for Multi-Family Housing Project on Behalf of West
Suburban Partners to Limited Partnership
Last November the City Council held a public hearing on a proposal to adopt a
housing program to finance improvements to the Elk River Estates and Oak
Crest apartment buildings. Adoption of the attached resolution is the final step
in issuing the multi-family housing revenue bonds in the aggregate principal
amount of $3,600,000 to provide funds to the partnership for this project. As
you may recall, the city is in no way responsible for this debt obligation, nor
does this affect the city's bond rating or the city's outstanding debt.
Action Requested
The City Council is asked to approve the attached resolution providing for the
issuance and sale of multi-family revenue bonds to provide funds for a multi-
family housing project on behalf of West Suburban Partners to Limited
Partnership.
