Pursuant to 1988 Minnesota Laws, Chapter 689, Article 1, Section 2, Subdivision 5, the City of Fergus Falls (the "City") proposes that the Minnesota Commissioner of Veterans Affairs establish a veterans home (the "Home") in the City on part of the site of the Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center. Under the proposal, up to sixty-five percent of the cost of construction of the Home would be paid by the United States Veterans Administration, and the County would issue ap- proximately $2,000,00 in principal amount of bonds or other obliga- tions (the "Bonds") pursuant to 1988 Minnesota Laws, Ct.apter 519, Section.2 (to be codified at Minnesota Statutes, Section 373.4_0), to pay the remaining costs of construction. The State would continue to own the site, the County would own the Home and the Minnesota Commissioner of Veterans Affairs would operate the Home under a lease from the County for a term concurrent with the term of the Bonds, or subject to the County's option to purchase the site at the expiration or termination of a shorter lease term. The Bonds would be payable primarily from rental payments to be mdde by the Commissioner, but the full faith, credit and taxing powers of the County would be pledged, if necessary, to the payment of the Bonds. 2. The County approves and supports the City's proposal and presently intends to undertake the financing of the Home as conternpl ated by the proposal, subject to: a. Approval of the proposal by the Minnesota Legislature and enact- ment of appropriate legislation, if necessary, to permit the con- struction of the Home on State land, and eliminate any potential income tax problems for the County associated with lease payments, b. To authorize the Commissioner of Veterans Affairs to execute and enter into a lease acceptable to all parties for the full term of the bond schedule and operate the Home; and to clarify the County's authority to issue the Bonds pursuant to 1988 Minnesota Laws, Chapter 519, Section 2, and secure the Bonds as contemplated in the proposa 1 .
