Mr. Faigus, a representative of the Jack Jacobs Company, developers
of K-Mart shopping centers,addresseidthe Council and requested the City's support
for issuance of tax-free commercial revenue bonds in order to develop a shopping
complex at the northeast corner of Elm Street and Ringwood Road. Faigus said
that negotiations for tenancy on the site are nearly complete with the K-Mart
store and a Jewel -Osco store. He estimated total cost of the development would
be $7 to $7.5 million dollars. He pointed out, and Attorney Narusis agreed,
that issuing the bonds would not affect the City's bonded indebtedness, nor
would the City be liable for default if the bonds were not paid. Narusis

explained that a recent law allows municipalities to be, in effect, issuing
agencies for the bonds, which being municipal bonds are tax free. This form of
financing allows the developer to get money at substantially lower interest
rates and Faigus said that any profit accruing from the low interest money
was not taxable because of the municipal status. He also said there was no
obligation to the city and that the use of the city's name was merely a conduit
to get tax-free status.
Motion by Harker, seconded by Nolan, to agree with the concept of
funding tax-free commercial revenue bonds as presented by Faigus.
Voting Aye: Meurer, Schooley, Wieser, Datz, Harker, Nolan, Pepping.
