The following Commissioners were present at roll call :
Joel Glotter Dudley Moylan Jane Tschida
Alsopresent were the City Manager , Executive Director and City Attorney .
Indemnification clause in purchase agreement for Lot 1 ,
3 . Oak Park
Block 1 , Oak Park Village ( International Multi-Housing ,
Village
Inc . / Housing Authority ) .
The Executive Director briefly described the background of
the purchase agreement for Block 1 , Lot 1 , and explained the issue to be resolved
is whether the Housing Authority or the City should be responsible for providing
the indemnification . He continued that in the case of the agreement with
Ben Weber , the City granted indemnification , although in earlier cases , the
Authority had granted indemnification to developers . He further stated that
- . sale and development of the site is of major importance to the bond payment
schedule which would not be met without development of Block 1 , Lot 1 . In
response to a question . from the President Pro Tem concerning the difference in
the indemnification granted by the Authority for Blocks 3 , 4 , 5 amd 6 , the
Executive Director stated it was a matter of degree and involved a determination
of possible risk related to the various types of indemnification .
The City Attorney concurred with the Executive Director and believed the intent
in both indemnifications comparable .
In response to a question from the President Pro Tem , the Executive Director
stated 60 , 000 cubic yards of material had been excavated from Blocks 1 and 3 .
Councilman Martin expressed his desire for consistency in the granting of
guarantees to developers and because they had been granted in the past , said
it appeared unfair to withhold indemnification for Block 1 , Lot 1 .
Commissioner Moylan explained when considering developers for the site , the
Authority reviewed the income mix of . future residents , whether the development
would pay the bonds and that the PCA would not oppose development due to soil
conditions on the northern portion of Oak Park Village . He said the Authority
believed the matter was of a political nature and therefore an appointed body
did not have the authority for the decision of indemnification .
It was moved by Councilman Martin , seconded by Councilman Ralles , to apprpVe
Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Estate , Lot 1 , Block 1 , Oak Park Village
and indemnification shall be provided by the City . of St . Louis Park .
In response to a question from President Pro Tem Hanks , the Executive
Director explained that no time limit was included in the indemnification
clause .
