It was noted this Public Hearing has been officially noticed for tonight's meeting. Finance Director Dan Jordet presented the request to issue $5.3 million in conduit revenue bonds to ASG Brooklyn Center, a non-profit organization, to improve the Odyssey Academy property. He noted Charter Schools are prohibited from owning real property so ASG Brooklyn Center was formed to purchase the property, make renovations, and administer and pay for the bonds. Their lease with Odyssey Academy will provide the funds to pay the bonds. Of the total $5.3 million, $5 million would be tax exempt and $300,000 would be taxable as that portion would be used for administrative. The bonds would be amortized over 30 years at a 7% interest rate. If issued, the bonds will carry the City of Brooklyn Center's name and ASG Brooklyn Center will be paying to use the City's tax exempt status, as allowed by Statute. The full fiscal, legal, and moral responsibility to repay the debt rests with ASG Brooklyn Center and there would be no obligation on the City of Brooklyn Center or its citizens. In return, the City receives one-half of 1% of the face value of the bonds as an issuer fee that would total $26,500. Mr. Jordet then presented the sources and uses statement. Jacqueline May, Cushman & Wakefield, introduced herself Paul Donovan, Cushman & Wakefield, NorthMarq Real Estate Services, stated the Osseo School District has decided to sell this property and they have reached agreement to purchase that asset and improve the property, creating an asset for Brooklyn Center on a 13-acre green space. Mr. Donovan stated Odyssey Academy has a summer school program that has increased enrollment with 40% coming from Brooklyn Center. Mr. Donovan stated they feel this project is properly positioned to go to the market to get financing for this acquisition. He requested the City Council favorably consider this request. Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Lisa Sedlock, 6912 42'1 Avenue, Crystal, teacher at Odyssey Academy, described what had been accomplished by working together with families and children and stated her support for the project to enhance the school and provide more opportunity for students. Halley Anderson, 5213 Eleanor Lane, stated she attended Odyssey Academy from Kindergarten through 8 th grade and found it to be a family-oriented school with close relationships. She stated she supports approval of the bond, as it will provide opportunity for students and a place of which they will be proud. Alicen Thorstad, 4506 63 1(1 Avenue N., stated Odyssey Academy has provided opportunity to the community and proven itself as a good neighbor by maintaining their property as they have a 07/22/13 -5- vested interest in the community. Ms. Thorstad stated they have a Neighborhood Watch and she has never heard any neighbor complain about Odyssey Academy, as they found it to be an asset. Jeoffrey Reed, 2935 Morgan Avenue N., Minneapolis, Dean of Students, stated during the past seven years he has seen the school grow from 150 to nearly 300 students. He stated it is important for Odyssey Academy to continue to develop and offer quality education and asked the City Council to consider this investment for Odyssey Academy and the Brooklyn Center community. Kendra Auld, 6831 Colfax Avenue, stated she attended Odyssey Academy, was a four season athlete on the A honor roll, and learned leadership, independence, time management, and to move beyond her comfort zone. She stated support for this bond issue and asked the City Council to favorably consider their request. Councilmember Kleven moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. The City Council thanked staff for its excellent job in vetting this request to assure the City's interests are addressed and this bond issue will result in creating an asset for the City and its residents. The City Council acknowledged that Odyssey Academy serves a worthy public purpose to the City of Brooklyn Center and the City has a duty to support all schools to the greatest extent within its means. Councilmember Myszkowski asked for comment by the issuer, Audubon Center for the North Woods. Mr. Donovan stated Audubon Center for the North Woods has written a letter of support, been interviewed by the investment bankers on their continued interest to authorize the school, and Ziegler found it was one of the more glowing authorizer reports they have seen. In addition, there is also written documentation in support of this request. Councilmember Myszkowski requested a copy of that documentation. Councilmember Myszkowski stated she had served on the Osseo School Board and Property Committee during previous attempts to acquire the building and has struggled with this decision. She commented on the impressive educational system in Minnesota in past years, her experience while serving on the School Board, and in the field of education. Councilmember Myszkowski stated she finds this to be a volatile, high-risk bond with a high interest rate and she does not know if it will be sustainable for 30 years, noting the financial forecast only goes to 2018. She stated she has asked her constituents about their position on this request and knows the neighbors of Odyssey Academy love having it in their neighborhood. Councilmember Myszkowski stated she knows Odyssey is part of the City's fabric and understands there is no liability on the City; however, she intends to vote against the request due to concerns she has expressed and questions as to risk factors and volatility of State funding. 07/22/13 -6- The City Council discussed the request and acknowledged that the full risk and obligation lies with ASG Brooklyn Center and the City of Brooklyn Center would bear no risk for this bond issue.

Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she has served on the Odyssey Academy Board since 2009 as an unpaid volunteer and has seen sound financial direction. In addition, leadership has been established that is committed to longevity and growth and she has witnessed that growth. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated once the building is purchased, all attention can focus on improving the property. Councilmember Kleven stated she will support the request of Odyssey Academy but understands and respects the struggle Councilmember Myszkowski has experienced with this decision. Mayor Willson stated Councilmember Myszkowski has raised valid points about the risk to Odyssey Academy over a 30-year term and to the City related to its image; however, he is an optimist and willing to support the request for conduit bonding, as it will be a good asset to the community. Mayor Willson asked Odyssey Academy to take the comments of Councilmember Myszkowski under advisement as her points are valid. Councilmember Myszkowski voted against the same. Motion passed. The City Council agreed with the suggestion by Councilmember Myszkowski to schedule discussion at a future Work Session relating to how the City can better support and encourage all students, such as a quarterly student essay in the City's newsletter and/or pairing seniors with elementary students so they can learn of each other's cultures. 9.
