The council closed the hearing and approved the license by roll-call vote: Council member Santini — Aye; Council member Stafford — Aye; Council member Wilson — Aye; Mayor Burt — Aye.

Council members described the action as a routine ownership change.

Schmidt told the council his family began a modest Halloween display about six years ago; the neighborhood’s participation expanded during the COVID period and culminated this past October with what residents described as a record turnout. He said one homeowner counted about 1,700 children visiting the Haunted Oaks this year and that more than 100 homes in adjacent areas had decorations. The Facebook page for the event has grown to about 4,000 followers and the group tracked roughly 60,000 views in a three-month window around Halloween. Schmidt said neighbors collected 150 petition signatures and fielded 65 survey responses supporting limited traffic restrictions and additional traffic enforcement.

Schmidt proposed allowing temporary traffic restrictions on Lamplight Drive while still permitting homeowners to access their houses, and directing vehicle parking to lots such as Ojibwe Park, with city traffic enforcement assisting on the night. He asked the council to work with the neighborhood to revise the block party ordinance or special-event policy; staff later confirmed that Lamplight Drive is designated a red route under current rules, which prevents the city from restricting or blocking traffic under the present ordinance.

Mayor Burt and council members acknowledged the request and said public-safety staff are reviewing possible solutions. Mayor Burt said staff and public safety will continue to look at options and that the city appreciates the neighborhood’s volunteer efforts in creating a family-friendly attraction. No formal council action was taken at the meeting; council members said they would continue to consider options and coordinate with staff.

Schmidt said the neighborhood already uses a GoFundMe to help cover candy costs and noted anecdotal economic activity — families stopping for dinner, shopping or staying overnight — but financial figures beyond the petition and survey counts were not provided to the council.","A Royal Oaks resident urged the City Council to revise the block party ordinance or special event policy to allow limited traffic restrictions on Lamplight Drive during Halloween, citing crowds of up to about 1,700 trick-or-treaters, a petition and a suggestion to use Ojibwe Park for overflow parking.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6307078,"Woodbury Council approves up-to $60 million tax-exempt conduit bonds for Math and Science Academy campus",712,959000,1671000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2435332-857550e0339220cf626a580a7de96be9&start=959&end=1671","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2435332-857550e0339220cf626a580a7de96be9/thumbnail_959000.jpg","/articles/6307078/Minnesota/Woodbury-Council-approves-up-to-60-million-tax-exempt-conduit-bonds-for-Math-and-Science-Academy-campus","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6307078-b5749e6050b19cb02c4a458afc79de16/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145915&Signature=h~rO-o-Y~~VNqVI12ZexFApi6pQV23D-6jIFFdj0f-zRo~CPp39C58Tc77Yhq8nPGIS3AA8EpZJatqvXLmvrnkqOFMuQZJJ6YTjbVuyO3CmUW7tiXvWb~SeYJa8sULQJbayebqU6-Uocm8v3BZHucpg0d9TLE~wjKtRMALHCh0cbA4GwSeZhfiVc6SLADW~oJe43tQnvsgWu~R3Y-duI4G6pMFz3gH~y4Sv--jpKQSDkyS~cqwwVdVj-HU56wrtiCumV~h~iOTOwAU2NoxV5~EKpWYdkolo~-J~QKkulv9iJEm4sfilKbiIZUX0xE51yTqqSKY5BA~V82xKckaaUaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Woodbury City Council voted to approve a city resolution authorizing up to $60,000,000 in tax-exempt conduit revenue bonds to finance land acquisition, construction of a new Math and Science Academy upper campus at 9025 Bailey Road and renovation of an existing building that the applicant plans to convert to an elementary school.

The bond issuance uses the city’s conduit financing authority so the borrower — MSA Building Company and Math and Science Academy — will sell tax-exempt bonds to investors. City staff and bond counsel told the council the city will not be legally responsible for debt-service payments; the applicant will pay issuance costs and a city fee estimated at about $75,000 that, per staff, will go to the city’s general fund.

City staff presented the proposal and recommended adoption of the attached bond resolution. Janelle (city staff member) described the requested uses: acquisition of the site at 9025 Bailey Road, construction of the new upper campus building, renovation of an existing building (which will require a separate amended conditional use permit), and payment of issuance costs. Bond counsel Sofia Leike explained the legal structure: issuance under federal tax code section 145 as conduit revenue bonds and a not-to-exceed principal amount of $60,000,000. Leike said the city is required to hold a public hearing before adopting the resolution and noted the offering documents will include the borrower’s financial information rather than the city’s since the bonds are conduit in nature. Leike said the parties expected to continue negotiating transaction terms and to close the bond transaction in late March.

Council members asked clarifying questions about the city’s exposure, the fee destination, and whether the issuance would affect the city’s ability to issue bank-qualified debt. Staff and bond counsel told council members the city would incur no obligation for the bonds, the fee would typically be deposited to the general fund unless the council enacted a budget amendment to direct it elsewhere, and the size of the issuance places it in a non-bank-qualified category, which staff said would not affect other planned non-bank-qualified issuances.

A motion to adopt the resolution moved and was seconded; the council approved the resolution by roll-call vote: Council member Wilson — Aye; Council member Santini — Aye; Council member Stafford — Aye; Mayor Burt — Aye. The council’s recorded motion identified the resolution on the record as \"resolution 25 535\" (as spoken during the meeting). Council members and city staff indicated closing of the bond transaction was anticipated in late March.

The city’s action is strictly a conduit financing approval; no additional council action on the amended conditional use permit for converting the existing building to an elementary school was taken at the meeting.","The Woodbury City Council adopted a resolution authorizing up to $60,000,000 in tax-exempt conduit revenue bonds to finance land acquisition, construction of an upper campus and renovation of an existing building for Math and Science Academy; the city will receive an issuance fee of about $75,000 and is not legally liable for debt service.","actionData","errors"]
