1.2. The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.152 through 469.165 (the
"Act"), to issue its revenue bonds to finance capital projects consisting of properties used and usef il in
connection with a revenue-producing enterprise, whether or not operated lbr profit, engaged in
providing health care services, including hospitals, nursing homes, and related medial facilities. The
Borrower has requested the City to iuw its revenue bonds in an aggregate total amount estimated not
to exceed :5,600,000 (the "Bondal to finance a portion of the coats of the Project.
I.S. At a public hearing, duly noticed and held on May 16, 1994, in accordance with the Act
and Section 147(Q of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, on the proposal to undertake

circumstances as this Council deems relevant, this Council hereby finds, determines and declares as

(a) the welfare of the State of Minnesota (the "State's requires active promotion,
attraction, encouragement and development of economically sound industry and commerce through
govemmenta) actions for the purpose of preventing die emergence of blighted and marginal lands and
areas of chronic unemployment, and the State has encouraged local government units to act to prevent
such economic deterioration;
(b) the welfare of the State further requires theprovision of necessary health ire
facilities, so that adequate health care services are available to residents or the State at reasonable cost;

and described in Section 469.152 of the Act;

(e) this Council has been advised by representatives of the Borrower that
conventional, commercial financing to pay the cost of the Project is available only on a limited basis
and at such high cow of borrowing that the economic feasibility of constructing and operating the
Project would be reduced, but that with the aid of municipal borrowing, and its resulting lower
borrowing cost, the Project is economically more feasible;
(Q the Council has been advised by representatives of the Borrower that the Project
would not be undertaken but for the availability of industrial development bond financing;

basis of their discussions with potential buyers of tax-exempt bonds, revenue bonds of the City could be
issued and sold upon favorable rates and terns to finance the Project; and

projects consisting of properties used and useful in connection with a revenue-producing enterprise,
