7. General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2015A
Jerilyn Erickson summarized the five projects that are included in this bond issuance: 2015
Street Reconstruction (Phase 1), Kensington Boulevard, Hamburg Avenue, CSAH 50/60
roundabout and expansion, and the Ipava Avenue traffic signals at 175th Street and 165th
Street. Staff recently participated in a bond rating call where Moody’s assigned the City of
Lakeville a favorable rating of Aa1. Because of the Aa1 rating, a lower interest rate was
received, in turn reducing the bond issuance from $17,585,000 to $16,545,000. The 2016 tax
levy impact was originally estimated at $438,000 but has been reduced to $407,000.
Dave McGillivray from Springsted highlighted reasons for the lower interest rate and how that
will affect the bonds. Seven bids were received via internet bidding at 10:00 a.m. this morning;
Raymond James was the lowest bidder at 3.1449%. Based on the market at the beginning of
June the interest rate was estimated to be 3.7%. The lower than anticipated interest rate caused
a reduction of $1,040,000 in the bond issuance and future tax levies. The City’s credit rating of
Aa1 is just below the highest possible, which is AAA. Factors which contributed to Moody’s
rating include Lakeville’s tax base and growth, a healthy financial profile with sizable operating
fund reserves, and above average debt burden.
Motion was made by Davis, seconded by Swecker, to approve Resolution No. 15-95 authorizing
the issuance and sale of $16,545,000 General Obligation Bonds Series 2015A.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes –Little, Swecker, LaBeau, Davis
8. ImageTrend Development LLC
Dave Olson provided a brief overview of the agreement entered into with ImageTrend in 2009.
At that time Council approved the sale of a city-owned lot to ImageTrend adjacent to their
existing building in Fairfield Business Campus. According to the terms, ImageTrend paid one-
third of the sale price and the City agreed that the remaining two-thirds would be forgiven if
the first phase of their 50,000 total square foot expansion was completed by the end of 2011 and
the second phase by the end of 2013. This was later amended to be completed by the end of
2015. The agreement also required creation of a minimum of 21 additional jobs. The company
has completed the first phase, a 27,000 square foot expansion, and increased the number of
employees from 100 to 160. At this time ImageTrend believes they will not need additional
office space for some time and is requesting a three-year extension for the second phase until
the end of 2018. The EDC reviewed the request at their April 28, 2015 meeting and
recommended approval.
City Council Meeting Minutes, July 20, 2015 Page 4

human resources, and emergency preparedness. They are beginning to expand outside of the
United States and are expecting 18-20% growth this year. They anticipate continuing to add
employees and building and moving into their second building by 2019.
Mayor Little stated that he is impressed by the ImageTrend business model and is happy to
support their presence in Lakeville.
Motion was made by Swecker, seconded by Davis, to approve the Third Amendment to
Contract for Private Development for ImageTrend Development LLC.
