Mr. Phil Faccenda, Barnes & Thornburg Presented Resolution No. 2021-3 (Potawatomi
Zoo Project). This resolution is to approve lease financing agreement and the lease.
We are using lease financing, so no debt limit is taken into account. Under Indiana law,
lease financing connected with bond financing is permissible and will not affect any debt
limit. The Building Corporation is the leasing entity under Indiana law. There will be a
lease with the Redevelopment Commission which will assist with improvements as the
Potawatomi Zoo. The lease produces, through the Redevelopment Commission, which
will pledge a special benefits tax of the Redevelopment district to pay the lease revenue

which ultimately pay debt service on the bonds. The St. Joseph County hotel/motel tax
board has pledged to pay ½ percent revenues that will be available to the zoo. Those
revenues will ultimately pay the lease rentals. A special benefits tax is put into place
keeps debt service saving money. The money will be for several different projects
throughout the zoo as outlined in the packet. The bonds are set at $6.5M (not to
exceed); the annual rental/debt service will be no more than $420,000 per year. We do
anticipate that the hotel/motel tax will pay for that. The bonds will go out for a maximum
of 22 years. Commission approval is requested.
