SUMMARY MINUTES OF JANUARY 9, 1993,
JOINT CITY COUNCIL /HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING
Attending the meeting were Larry Commers, John Meyer, Virginia
Schnabel (11:30 a.m.), Jim McFarland, William Nee, Nancy Jorgenson,
Dennis Schneider, Steve Billings, William Burns, and Barbara Dacy.
1. Housing Program Overview
Barbara Dacy and William Burns presented the overview of the
Housing Program elements and reviewed the proposed budget.
2. Single Family Rehabilitation Programs
Barbara Dacy reviewed the program details of the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency (MHFA) Fix -up Fund Program, and the Fannie Mae.
and Moderate Income Rehab components of the Low and Moderate
Income Program.
The City Council and the HRA identified the following issues
about the Single Family Rehabilitation Program:
A. CDBG
(1) Why doesnIt. the Housing Coordinator run. the
Community Development Block Grant Program?
(2) Does CDBG cover painting?
(3) The HRA and the City Council questioned the
first -come /first -serve distribution policy.
(4) Does our CDBG money supplant existing ACCAP
efforts in Fridley?
(5) Can we get CDBG money back if we have a
revolving loan program?
B. MHFA Fix -up Fund
(1) The HRA and City Council wanted to enforce a
home ownership requirement for gap funding on
the MHFA program.
(2) There was concern about the use of gap
financing to add additional living space
instead of code improvements.
JOINT CITY COUNCIL/ rt°
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING. JAN. 9. 1993 - PAGE 2
C. Low and Moderate Income Program
(1) There was concern expressed over the income
limits of up to $76,500.
(2) Is the 5% assistance on the Fannie Mae program
adequate?
(3) Can we prescreen the applications instead of
enforcing a first -come /first -serve distribution
policy?
(4) On the Moderate Income Program, the City
Council and HRA expressed the following
concerns.
a. Income limit of $76,500 is too high.
b. Questioned the first -come /first -serve
policy.
C. Review Implementation steps
Barbara Dacy then reviewed the implementation steps
necessary to implement the Single Family
Rehabilitation Program. They included the
following:
(1) Hire a housing coordinator.
(2) Draft RFP to local banks and Fannie Mae lenders
to solicit participation in programs (require
MHFA certification as a condition for
participation).
(3) Select banks and negotiate contracts.
(4) Prepare and execute contract with ACCAP for
CDBG program.
(5) HRA approval of manual and resolution
initiating housing programs.
The HRA and City Council were in agreement* with
implementation steps #2 - #5 and then discussed the issue
of hiring a housing coordinator.
The HRA and City Council reviewed a proposed job
description prepared by Barbara Dacy. The City Council
and HRA agreed that an'employee would be hired. The HRA
would be responsible for payment of the salary and
JOINT CITY COUNCIL/ -
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, JAN. 9, 1993 - PAGE 3
benefits as part of the administrative budget of the
housing program.
Further, the HRA and City Council discussed the job
responsibilities of the housing coordinator. Because of
the extent of the list of responsibilities and because
of the time necessary to initiate the proposed programs,
it was agreed that the housing coordinator would not
administer the CDBG program but would evaluate doing so
next year.
3. Rental Rehabilitation Programs
Barbara Dacy reviewed the major elements 'of the Rental
Rehabilitation Loan Program as proposed by MHFA. The HRA
assistance is proposed to pay for the "gap" between the costs
of needed improvements in the building and the amount of.the
loan for the owner.
The HRA and City Council identified the following issues with
the Rental Rehab Loan Program:
A. Are aesthetic improvements eligible improvements under
the program such as painting or siding? Also, are land-
scaping and parking lot improvements included?
B. Should monies from the scattered.site acquisition budget
be used to add on to the monies in the Rental
Rehabilitation Loan Program?
C. The HRA would consider assisting multiple family owners
with application fees if it is determined that the
application fees can be returned if the application is
not funded.
4. Review single Family Rehab Issues and Achieve Consensus
A. The HRA and City Council agreed that ACCAP would
administer the CDBG program for the first year.
B. The City should not pursue a first - come /first -serve
application basis. Instead, the City should develop a
program to target rehab monies for specific properties
and to prioritize applications that provide for the best
return on the investment.
C. Staff is to follow up on the other CDBG related
questions.
JOINT CITY COUNCIL/
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING JAN. 9, 1993 - PAGE 4
D. Staff is to follow up on the MHFA related Fix -up Fund
program questions, but the HRA and City Council did agree
to the priority of eligible improvements as distributed
in the handout prepared by Barbara Dacy.
E. The City Council and HRA determined that the income
limits of the single family rehab programs would not
exceed $55,000 or 150% of the City of Fridley median
income.
F. The 5% assistance on the Fannie Mae program would be
implemented and then reviewed after six months of
experience.
G. The Moderate Income Rehab Only project would not be
funded and would remain in name only. The program would
be re- evaluated after six months of experience.
H. Authorization was given to hire a housing coordinator.
5. Review Multiple Family Rehab Issues and Achieve Consensus
A. It -was determined that the. proposed budget for rental
rehab was adequate.
B. The scattered site acquisition budget, as well as all
allocations, will be evaluated after the first six months
of experience.
C. Staff was to follow up on eligible improvements questions
for rental properties.
6. Review Proposal on Rental Licensing Inspection Program and
Achieve Consensus
Barbara Dacy presented the following proposal on the Rental
Inspection Program:
A. The housing coordinator would develop a strategy for
rental inspection program-with the following parameters:
(1) Inspections to be completed by a contract inspector.
(2) Clerical work to be completed by part -time contract
employee.
(3) Cost not to exceed $55,000.
(4) Inspect up to 1,000 units per year.
JOINT CITY COUNCIL/
HOUSING &_REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING JAN. 9, 1993 - PAGE 5
B. Housing coordinator will prepare ordinance amendments to:
(1) Raise rental licensing fees to cover contract
employee costs and costs for repeat inspections. -
(2) Amend Chapter 220 to adopt HUD Housing Quality
Standards or other requirements.
The HRA and City Council agreed to the housing coordinator
preparing a strategy on the rental inspection program as
presented, by Barbara Dacy. Stressed, however, was the
necessity to amend the Rental Licensing ordinance to adopt
code standards that would improve the appearance and the
livability of the units. Barbara Dacy suggested that other
communities' ordinances be reviewed, and the best of the
ordinances be used to make amendments. Further, she agreed
to research whether it would be legal to require owners to
mandate draperies or other appropriate window treatments
inside the units.
Also discussed was the necessity to raise the licensing fees
to offset the costs for the inspection program. John.Meyer
suggested that the City investigate the alternative of
crediting the rental license fee if owners actively use an
agency to check potential tenants' credit and rental history.
The HRA and City Council directed staff to investigate this
issue further.
Councilmember Billings also suggested that the City
investigate the St. Paul model of certificate of occupancy
inspections, as well as the rental licensing fees.

MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to approve the
December 10, 1992, Dousing & Redevelopment Authority minutes as
written.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON CONNERS DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. CONSIDER CONCEPT APPROVAL OF FRIDLEY TOWN SQUARE DEVELOPMENT:
Ms. Dacy stated that she would first like to summarize the history
and the changes between the Ericson proposal and the current
proposal for this site.
Ms. Dacy stated that the original development proposal for the
former 10,000 Auto Parts site and the two single family homes which
immediately abut the site was originally filed in 1989. Over the
course of the past two years, the developer at that time, Scott
Ericson, put forward two site plans for Planning Commission and
City Council review. The first proposal was for a 28,000 sq. ft.
commercial facility, and the second proposal included a Burger King
at the west end of the facility with a drive -up window. The City
r
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG., JANUARY 14, 1993 - PAGW 2-
Council approved both site plans with several conditions attached.
The HRA received copies of those minutes, and a traffic study was
developed. So, all the land use parts of this development have
been completed.
Ms. Dacy stated that in terms of HRA assistance for the original
project, there was no formal action on a development agreement;
however, there were several informal discussions about the major
items that would be contained in the development agreement. The
major features the HRA discussed were the tax increment financing
assistance up to $250,000 and an equity participation portion of
the agreement. The intent of the equity participation was that
the HRA would have the money returned to them based on certain
criteria including a length of time between when the property is
sold and based on a formula for the rate of return to the
development.
Ms. Dacy stated Mr. Ericson was unable to obtain financing for his
project, so that particular part of the development process has not
been completed.
Ms. Dacy stated the current proposal is being put forth by Lowell
Wagner and 'Don Fitch, former owner of the Dairy Queen property.
Mr. Wagner has done a number of commercial developments in the
metro area and has worked with Walgreens as part of those
developments.
Ms. Dacy stated she prepared a comparison sheet between the Ericson
proposal and the Wagner /Fitch proposal. In terms of square
footage, the building is slightly smaller at 26,150. sq. ft.
Instead of the Burger King at the west end of the site, it would
be the Dairy Queen with a drive -up window. The size of the Dairy
Queen is smaller than the Burger King. There is miscellaneous
tenant space of 10,000 sq. ft. as compared to the original 12,000
sq. ft. The building exterior is proposed to be different. Mr.
Ericson had proposed a rock -faced block exterior, and Wagner /Fitch
are proposing a brick exterior which is consistent with the other
materials in the Center City development, as well as a different
facade treatment with covered walkway, pillars, and a sign band.
Ms. Dacy stated that because of the smaller building size, the
necessary parking spaces have been reduced by five spaces, and it
also provides more room for setbacks from affected surrounding
streets and properties. Also of minor difference is that with the
new proposed development, Walgreens would like to have a
prescription pick -up window on the east side of the development.
Ms. Dacy stated Jim Casserly will discuss two features of the
proposed tax increment financing assistance for this project.
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG., JANUARY 14, 1993 - _PAGE 3
Mr. Commers asked Mr. Casserly to outline the differences between
this proposal and the previous proposals.
Mr. Casserly stated there is really only a couple of differences.
His letter dated January 7, 1993, described the two issues that
are remaining. The first issue is the amount of assistance. The
developer is requesting a maximum of $300,000. The HRA had
previously looked at $250,000 in the original Ericson proposal,
and that was the amount the City Council seemed comfortable with.
The current developer has indicated that, at best, this is a
difficult project to do, and they may be looking for some
assistance above the $250,000.
Mr. Casserly stated the second issue is when does the HRA provide
that assistance? That issue was not completely resolved in the
Ericson proposal, because Mr. Erickson was unable to get his
financing put together. In this instance, what the developer is
asking for and what the lenders are looking for is to have all the
equity contributions up front. In other HRA projects, they have
been able to make contributions or provide assistance at various
stages of a project. Often it is done when a project is completed
and the City has issued a certificate of completion. There is no
hard and fast rule, because projects vary.
Mr. Casserly stated the only other issue the HRA addressed a couple
of months ago was a recapture arrangement where they would
recapture a minimum amount. The issue is if they have a minimum
recapture, the lenders would consider that essentially a lien or
obligation of the property and would reduce the loan amounts
accordingly. That issue has not been - worked out. If the HRA gives
consensus approval for this project, then staff will work through.
those issues. He believed most of the other issues have been
resolved,.and the agreement would essentially be the same as that
with Scott Ericson on the previous proposal.
Ms. Dacy stated the HRA did discuss the recapture and the equity
participation on the Ericson proposal. At that time, it was the
HRA's direction to continue to pursue it, but there was no real
resolution on the issue. So, the two issues the petitioner wants
the petitioner to decide tonight are: (1) concept approval for
$300,000 versus the $250,000, and (2) when the HRA will give its
assistance.
J
Mr. Commers asked what the Council's issue is with the amount of
assistance.
Ms. Dacy stated the Council acknowledges that the amount of HRA
assistance is the HRA's decision; however,- =,they believe that the
previous amount of $250,000 is adequate.
Mr. Lowell Wagner stated he is the President of Wagner Corporation.
His partner is Don Fitch. He stated Wagner Corporation is a small

HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG.. "JANUARY 14, 1993 PAGE 4
real estate developer located in Minnetonka. The company is
tenant - oriented rather than site - oriented. Approximately one year
ago, Walgreens came to them and said the project was not going
forward at this Fridley site and asked Wagner Corporation to take
a look at the project. His company.did look at it and, over the
last year, they have done several things and talked to many people.
They believe the project can be done.
Mr. Wagner stated they will be building a 13,000 sq. ft. prototype
building for Walgreens. The store is slightly larger than the
previous proposal and has a size that now meets the requirements
for the American Disabilities Act and gives Walgreens the
opportunity to put in all the departments they want. On the design
Walgreens needed more room around the building for circulation, and
they have removed all parking to the north of the building and made
a one - traffic pattern around the building. They pulled in the
building slightly on the east /west length of the building. This
was done primarily to give them turning room and for the drive -up
window for Walgreens. The prescriptions have to be called in ahead
of time, and this window will be used only for picking up
prescriptions.
Mr. Wagner stated that when they changed the dimensions. of the
building, it slightly changed their parking layout. As far as the
specifications are concerned, their goal now and for the future is
to construct all buildings with the main component being brick.
That particular segment of the change in specifications has
increased their cost from $85,000 to $100,000. He stated they
generally agree with the landscaping which was approved for the
Ericson proposal. They do have a couple other ideas for changes,
but they will only proceed if the neighborhood and the City are in
agreement with those changes.
Mr. Wagner stated that as far as tenants, Walgreens is committed,
at least at staff level. The Dairy Queen will be plus or minus
2,750 sq. ft. in size. They are negotiating with another tenant
that would take between 3,800 -5,000 sq. ft. and would be the third
major tenant in the building. They are working with two other
smaller tenants.
Mr. Wagner stated that regarding financing, they have their
application in and have a verbal o.k. from the lenders at staff
level. The lenders have held up the application until they
ascertain that the City is going to back the project. He stated
today's financing is very difficult to get, and very few projects
are being built today. He stated they need approximately 90% of
the center leased and actually signed up before the lenders will
release the funds. He stated they still need between 2,300 and
3,500 sq. ft. more leased before they will start the project.
Leasing is slow, and he wants the HRA to know that there is a risk
factor.
R
HOUSING A REDEVELOPMENT_ AUTHORITY MTG.. JANUARY 14. 1993 - PAGE 5
Mr. Wagner stated that regarding the redevelopment agreement, they
need the funds up front. At this point, they have committed
$240,000 of hard cash into the project. They have also committed
all their fees and overhead, and they are still in the position
where they have to find another $60,000 in order to make the
numbers work. They feel they can do that. Some of the guarantees
the HRA can look at to assure the City that there is not going to
be a problem are: (1) the financing has to be in place; and (2)
the amount of leases have to be satisfactory. They will also have
their personal guarantees, both from the development group and
themselves individually, and the City will have a guaranteed
maximum construction contract. Those are all things they expect
to see in the redevelopment agreement.
Mr. Wagner stated that regarding the question on recapture, a deal
killer would be where it actually says it has to be so much within
a certain period of time. Their lenders will not allow that to be
in the agreement, and it basically amounts to a second mortgage on
the property. They have no problem with the concept "to share the
wealth ". They believe they can reach an under - standing within the
next few weeks with City staff regarding that specific issue.
Mr. Wagner stated the $300,000 is not an idle number they have come
up with. They have taken a close look at the actual costs for the
center which includes the brick and the specifications of
Walgreens. The Walgreens store costs substantially more per square
foot to build than a typical store. The $300,000 is very important
because they are putting a substantial amount of cash into the
total project.
Mr. Wagner stated it is his understanding that the Council did
recommend the $250,000 issue for the Ericson project, but the
Council has not had an opportunity to hear this new proposal.
Mr. Wagner stated they have been *told that the City is very
concerned about signage for this project. He stated they
understand that and respect that; however, he wanted the HRA to
know that they are having some difficulty with signage for their
tenants. He stated this is not the City's problem, but if they
lose a tenant over the.signage issue, they might have to ask for
a variance.
Mr. Commers stated the HRA can make recommendations but has no
authority with respect to variances.
Mr. Commers stated he believed one of the HRA's concerns with
respect to this project was that there was a significant increase
in land costs .for, -the Swanson property.
Mr. Casserly stated he believed they did feel there was an increase
in land costs, but it seemed like it was a little vague as to what
some of the previous costs were.

HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG., JANUARY 14, 1993'- PAGE 6
Mr. Wagner stated that in Mr. Ericson's original proposal, he had
anticipated $815,000 for the three pieces of property. At the
present time, they are anticipating their costs are going to be
approximately $913,000. They had an opportunity to look at the
original agreements on these properties, because they did negotiate
with Mr. Ericson for a period of time to attempt to buy his
position out. One of the properties is $5,000 higher. They now
have two of the three properties under contract. Regarding the
third property on the north side, there is the possibility that Mr.
Ericson still has some rights in that from the old purchase
agreement. Today was the final day to cancel that particular
agreement.
Ms. Schnabel asked Mr. Wagner how they would use the money they
are requesting from the HRA.
Mr. Wagner stated it doesn't really matter. The money would be
fused into the project when they take down the land, all three
parcels. Their first draw from the bank will include a lot of
things besides the land costs. All their preliminary costs (land,
architectural,' environmental, soil tests, engineering, title
policies, etc., all the expenses they normally have before starting
construction) will be included in their first draw. These costs
are about two- thirds of their soft costs. At that time, they will
also have to use the cash that was put into the project as the
lenders require that all cash that is required in the project be
put up in advance. That also means that they will be putting up
their cash with that first draw. Anything that is not covered by
the City and by their cash would be a first draw against the
construction.
Mr. McFarland suggested that the City work with the lenders
regarding inspections on the construction and compare it to the
allowable draws on the construction loan.
Ms. Schnabel asked Mr. Wagner to give some locations of other
projects his company has built with Walgreens.
Mr. Wagner stated they have done six Walgreens transactions. The
closest one to Fridley would be Coon Rapids Square which was built
about four years ago and was anchored by Walgreens and Old Country
Buffet. Other locations with Walgreens include 3207 East Lake
Street, 200 West Lake Street, 2643 Central Avenue, 544 South
Snelling. The first Walgreens they built was in the Franklin
Shopping Center. Other centers they are involved with that are
not anchored by Walgreens is Duckwood Square Center (25,000 sq.
"ft °= center) in Eagan anchored by Good Year, a smaller convenience
center (Crosstown Square) in Andover, and a center in West St. Paul
(23,000 - 24,000 sq. ft.) in RobertfSquare on South Robert.
Ms. Schnabel asked if Mr. Wagner has any projected rental rates.

HOUSING A REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG., JANUARY 14, 1993 - PAGE 7
Mr. Wagner stated the rental rates will be within a range of $12-
13 per square foot.
Ms. Schnabel asked about the timing on this project once
construction is started.
Mr. Wagner stated that once they begin construction, the timing
for construction of the basic center will be about 120 days,
depending on weather conditions. Then the tenants have from 30 -60
days to move into the center. Their optimum schedule is as
follows: If the HRA approves this development in concept, they
would use the next 30 days to work on the actual redevelopment
agreement. Within the next two weeks, they would put out a mailing
to additional prospective tenants. They hope to have adequate
leases committed by February 15 /end of February. From there, it
takes about 60 days to finish all the architectural work,
environmental work, etc. If everything fits into place, they would
probably open the center for business around November 1, 1993.
Mr. Don Fitch stated he is strongly looking for a new place to
relocate the Dairy Queen. Mr. Wagner approached him and started.
discussions after Mr. Ericson's project did not come to fruition.
In their discussions, they found that one of the best ways to make
the project successful was for him to become a partner; in this
case, providing $245,000 in hard cash. He knows little about.
development, and he is relying on Mr. Wagner's expertise. He
stated he would appreciate any assistance the HRA can provide for
this project.
Ms. Norma Swanson stated that when Mr. Ericson came to her, the
property was under lease to Red Owl. When Mr. Ericson stated he
wanted to develop the property, she told him the circumstances of
the lease and that it would concern a buyout. She. did not have
the property on the market but he could try it. He did that and
in the process of doing it, he lost her tenant, Red Owl. At that
time, every time his option would run out and he would try to renew
it, the price of the property went up. By the last offering, the
price Mr. Ericson was offering was about identical to Mr. Wagner's.
She stated that because of the problem Mr. Ericson was having
trying to obtain financing, she had more confidence in what. Mr.
Wagner could do with the property. She stated she has lived in
this area for 33 years, and she is very I concerned about.what type
of project is built on this property. She wants this development
to be something that the City and the people of Fridley can be
proud of. She believes Mr. Wagner's proposal with the brick front
building will be more appealing to the neighborhood and the City.
Mr. Casserly stated this really fits more into the category of a
redevelopment project, and the real problem is that the kind of
use the site is being used for cannot afford the cost of the site.
The HRA's assistance really goes technically into what amounts to

a land writedown; but in actuality, it is bringing the site closer
to a market value if the site was cleared and ready for
development. He did not think the site is worth $900,000 to a
developer. The site is worth $600,000- 650,000; but for the kind
of use that is being suggested, it is not worth $900,000. That is
the crux of the problem. Whether the site is worth that in terms
of its value with the existing structures is another issue.
Mr. Commers asked the total project cost.
Mr. Casserly stated the total project cost is $3 million.
Mr. Commers stated there is bound to be a little more risk with
the money up front. He is not sure if the dollar amount is a
significant- thing. The HRA had set a top on that dollar figure;
but it was his understanding that once it exceeded $225,000, then
they started talking about participation. He believed the HRA had
terms such as the length of time the developer would hold it and
other types of terms. In other words, they are giving the
incentive based on their analysis of the developer and not someone
the developer may sell-the development to within a year or two.
Mr. Casserly stated staff did a very rough cash -on -cash return
analysis. What probably makes this project work is the strength
of the long term tenants, and the rate of return on a project like
this from an investment perspective would be less than on a more
speculative -type of project.
Ms. Schnabel asked Mr. Fitch.what the terms of his lease would be
for the Dairy Queen.
Mr. Fitch stated they have not totally come to a signed lease
agreement, because they are also waiting for HRA action. He and
Mr. Wagner have •a tentative signed agreement to be general partners
in this project, and he is looking at probably having a ten year
lease with a couple of five year renewals.
Ms. Dacy stated that if the HRA agrees with this proposal, then
the HRA can make a motion to approve in concept the two features
and direct staff to take the next step in negotiating the
development contract and working out some of the details on these
other issues. The HRA's other option is to approve what the
developer has proposed.
Mr. Commers stated the bigger issue for him is what happens on the
back side if they go ahead with this project. That is relatively
important in view of the fact that this is not a pay -as- you -go
arrangement and the HRA has a little more risk than normal. They
had an equity participation type of arrangement with the previous
developer. The HRA had discussed this in detail at a previous
meeting.
t
HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MTG*- JA � 14.'1993 - PAGE 9
Mr. Casserly stated Mr. Commers is correct; however, he has two
thoughts on that issue: (1) the previous developer did not agree
to that; and (2) the previous developer's consultant was sending
him options and alternatives to it that he never brought to the
HRA because the project was not moving forward. It is a proposal
that has merit and there are a lot of ways to design an equity
participation arrangement. Most of it comes down to what kind of
an assumed rate of return do they allow the developer before they
have participation.
Mr. Wagner stated that if the concept is approved, they would have
an opportunity to discuss and negotiate this and bring back a
package to the HRA's next meeting. He is quite confident that they
will be able to come up with something that is fair.
Mr. Commers stated there is also another issue regarding the Dairy
Queen. At the last meeting, Mr. Fitch indicated that as far as the
condemnation was concerned, the resolution was tied in with the HRA
giving some more money on this side of the project.
Mr. Fitch stated that if this project does not happen, he does not
know of another site in this franchise area that will allow him'to
relocate economically and feasibly. Mr. Wagner has.indicated to
him that they strongly need the $300,000 level to make this project
successful.. Even at the $300,000.1evel and with the money he and
Mr. Wagner-are contributing to the project, they will still need
an additional $60,000. Mr. Wagner has assured him that.they will
be able to get that $60,000, and he is relying. totally on Mr.
Wagner's expertise.
Mr. Fitch stated that if the development is approved and they go
forward with it, his major concern is that the Dairy Queen goes
with the development. From a business perspective, he is going to
have to take a hard look at whether he still feels he got a fair
and just figure for his land and building. One of the things that
would be required that scares him the most is that as a result of
locating in the new center, he would need to sign a new franchise
agreement to the extent that he would become a full Dairy Queen
Brazier. The contract would change a little bit from the economic
standpoint that his fees and royalties would go up slightly.
Mr. Commers asked if it is possible to make the HRA's assistance
somewhat contingent upon the HRA being able to come to a resolution
with Mr. Fitch on the other side of this transaction.
Mr. Casserly stated, yes, it happens all the time in redevelop -ment
projects where an HRA helps in relocating a business.
Mr. Fitch stated he is in no position at this time to say that if
the HRA votes "yes" on the $300,000 that he will accept the
Commissioners' Award and walk away with that.

Mr. Commers stated the HRA does not expect him to do that. The
HRA is just .trying to determine how the amount enters into this
decision and whether it should be contingent upon that based on
earlier discussions. It is certainly a permissible contingency
on the approval of the $300,000.
Mr. Commers stated he is a little concerned about the transaction
and that it is not the normal way the HRA operates. On the other
side, this proposal seems like a reasonable use for the property
based on all the attempts that have been made to try to get a
development on that property. He is not overly concerned about
the $300,000 versus the $250,000; however, he is concerned about
why the Council is reluctant about the $300,000. He is inclined
to believe that the assistance should be tied to the other
condemnation in some way. Mr. Fitch is certainly entitled to get
a fair market value for his property; but if the HRA winds up with
a legal battle and a lot of legal fees on that side of the
transaction, that does influence what the HRA should contribute to
the development.
Mr. McFarland and Ms. Schnabel agreed with Mr. Commers.
Mr. Fitch stated he has one big concern about the HRA having a
contingency on this project involving- him. That is not totally
fair to Mr. Wagner and the project. Mr. Wagner has indicated to
him that-he would still be asking for $300,000; and it has nothing
to do with the Dairy Queen being involved in the project. Since
he is involved in the development, it does solve his location
problem; but, by the same token, the combination of that location
and the development of Fridley Town Square development are two
separate issues.
MOTION by Mr. McFarland, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, to approve in
concept the Fridley Town Square project with an incentive of up to
$300,000 and offering assistance "up front" as equity, subject to
the equity participation details being mutually agreed upon, and
contingent upon resolving the condemnation issues with Don Fitch.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON CONNERS DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Commers stated that the HRA is very interested in this project
and hopes the developers can put the project together. The HRA
would certainly like to see this site redeveloped. It has been
sitting empty for a very long time.
Mr. Wagner thanked the HRA. He stated this is going to be a
partnership, and they want to be very open with the City and the
HRA.

2. REQUEST TO REMOVE U.S. WEST OVERHEAD LINES FROM UNIVERSITY
AVENUEJMISSISSIPPI STREET AS PART OF THE MISSISSIPPI STREET
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT:
Ms. Dacy stated this is a carryover from the NSP project to place
their overhead lines underground. The Engineering Department has
notified her that there are three poles on the west side of
University Avenue and north side of Mississippi Street, east of
the Holly Center parking lot, that have telephone lines on them.
The City has to have a separate contract to install those lines
underground. The Engineering Department obtained a cost figure of
$5,214.00, and staff is recommending that the HRA authorize staff
to execute a contract with U.S. West to have those lines installed
underground. She did an analysis on the Mississippi Street
improvement budget, and they are well within budget.
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to authorize
staff to execute a contract with U.S. West to remove the overhead
poles on University Avenue.and install them underground.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED,
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
3. CLAIMS AND EXPENSES:
Mr. Pribyl introduced Craig Ellestad who has replaced Paul Hansen.
-Mr.. Hansen has been promoted to another position in the Finance
Department. He stated he and Mr. Ellestad will share the duties
of the Finance Department.at the HRA meetings.
a. Check Register (2269 -2282)
MOTION by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by Mr. McFarland, to approve
the check register dated January 8, 1993.
Mr. Commers stated the HRA is incurring a lot of legal fees,
and they may need to make an analysis of those fees.
Mr. Pribyl stated that a lot of the legal fees were incurred
over the last 6 -8 weeks associated with the acquisition of
Lake Pointe. He did not believe the HRA will see that level
occurring the rest of this year.
Mr. Commers stated he agreed; however, he did believe that
overall, the legal fees have been higher even without the
acquisition of Lake Pointe. He asked staff to get an analysis
on the 1992 legal fees.
Ms. Dacy stated staff will have the 1993 budget prepared for
the next meeting. Staff will make a special note to evaluate
the ongoing legal fees.

4. RICE PLAZA UPDATE;
Mr. Conners stated that as they have discussed in the past, it may
become a point of economic feasibility to decide what the HRA
should do with the Rice Plaza property.
Ms. Schnabel noted that the owner of Cinnamon Skin Tan has not paid
any rent since August. Does the owner plan to make a lump sum
payment in January?
Mr. McFarland stated he believed Terrie Mau, the owner of Cinnamon
Skin Tan, has sold the business.
Ms. Dacy stated that as part of the HRA budget, it might be
appropriate to take another look at what should be done with this
property.
5. ST. WILLIAMS' SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT UPDATE:
Ms. Dacy stated that at this time St. Williams has not requested
any tax increment financing assistance. This is a much smaller
project than what was previously proposed.
6. LAKE POINTE PROPERTY UPDATE:
Mr. Pribyl stated that at this point in time, the City has
basically completed the transactions that were originally estimated
to be financed by the temporary tax increment bond. They had a
settlement on the bond issue itself on December 14, 1992, and on
December 15, 1992, they actually wired $4,230,000 to Minnesota
Title to complete the transaction. As he has heard, the City now
has title to the property.
Mr. Pribyl stated City staff has been working with Anoka County to
try to reduce the taxable value to a lesser value, thus resulting
in a smaller tax payment for the delinquent taxes that were
outstanding in 1990, 1991, and 1992. That process basically is
still in process. The only thing remaining to be completed in that
process is a comment period which the school districts have in
regard to the reduction of market value. The school districts get
involved any time there is an increase in excess of $10,000 in
taxes, and they do have a comment period prior to the final
approval of the reduction in value. The payment is required by
the County to show good faith in regard to the payment. So, the
City is just waiting to hear from the County as to whether that
valuation reduction has been completed.
Mr. Casserly presented the final official "Statement of
Proceedings" to the HRA Chairperson.

SUBJECT: Receive Bids and Award Contract for Lake Pointe
Development Maintenance Project No. 244
Bids were received for the Lake Pointe Development Maintenance
Project No. 244 on February 25, 1993, at 10:00 a.m. The low bidder
was Jon Isaacson Lawn Care with a bid of $24,173.00. Approximately
11 companies were requested to bid, and six companies responded.
The Public Works Department is recommending that the HRA approve
the contract and award the bid to Jon Isaacson Lawn Care for
$24,173.00.
This year's bid is less than the 1992 contract with Innovation
Irrigation. Their cost last year was $25,945.00:
The Public Works Department has investigated the references of Jon
Isaacson Lawn Care and believes this to be a reputable company:
The 1992 HRA budget allocated a maximum amount of $30,000.00; the
1993 budget will reflect the approved bid.

MOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
City of Fridley
TO: Housing and Redevelopment Authority Members
r
FROM: William W. Burns, Executive Director of HRA�
DATE: March 5, 1993
SUBJECT: Fridley Town Square
I recently met with Jim Casserly, and he informed me that in conversations with
Mr. Don Fitch, he understood Mr. Fitch to request that an additional $35,000 be
added to the price that the HRA is going to pay him for the Dairy Queen
property. In condemnation proceedings, Mr. Fitch was awarded a total of
$165,000 plus moving expenses. This amount was $40,000 greater than our
appraisal of the property.
At our last meeting, the HRA agreed conceptually with the proposed grant in the
amount of $300,000 for the Fridley Town Square Project. This compares to the
$250,000 grant the HRA had pledged to the project when it was being developed
by Scott Ericson. In addition to raising the grant amount, the HRA also indicated
its willingness to agree to less than a minimum equity participation amount at
such time as the project is sold. This was done in order to accommodate
primary lenders for the project.
In my opinion, we have. conceded enough to Mr. Fitch and Mr. Wagner, the
developers of the Fridley Town Square Project. Although it is only another
$35,000, 1 believe that we have already been more than generous to this project.
I recommend that we tell the developers that our current offer is the final offer
and that we resist agreeing to the development agreement until such time as Mr.
Fitch has withdrawn his appeal of the $165,000 condemnation award.
Thank you for your consideration.

Please prepare a check in the amount of $15,000 payable to McGlynn
Bakeries, Inc. According to a letter dated November 7, 1991, the
HRA was to return the $15,000 fee to McGlynn Bakeries upon the
City's issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the project.
The Building Division completed its review of all the permits for
McGlynn Bakeries and issued the certificate of occupancy last week.

FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Review Screening Process for Rehabilitation
Loan Applications
At the joint City Council and HRA meeting on January 9, 1993, the
City Council and HRA asked staff to develop a screening process
instead of the first -come, first -serve application process. We
have obtained information from the Minneapolis Community Develop-
ment Agency (MCDA) and the City of St. Paul regarding their
procedures for screening. We also obtained copies of their forms
to use as a guide to develop our application forms.
We have developed the attached outline of the procedures that the
Housing Coordinator would use. to process applications. We also
developed a rating system to score each application. Further, the
Code Enforcement Officer and other staff members, through a
windshield' survey, developed a list of properties which are
experiencing varying levels of deterioration. We then categorized
each of those properties into three priorities (see list and
definition of each priority).
At Thursday's meeting, we would like to review the prescreening
process step by step and receive your comments. We intend to
review the same process with the City Council on March 15, 1993.

checking off specified list of work items (see
proposed application)

6. Signature to authorize credit check
7. Identify - mortgage holder(s) -and remaining balance
and original balance.
8. Attach copy of most recent 1040 or 1040A IRS tax
form.
III. Rating System
A. We have analyzed the rating system to prioritize
applications based on:
1. The age of the home;
2. Whether the property is on a "priority list" of
properties needing rehabilitation (see attached list
of addresses);
3. Whether the proposed work or repair is code related;
and
4. The level of the property owner's income (see
schedule in C below).
B. The Housing Coordinator will use the household income
information to sort the applications into program areas:
CDBG, HOME, MHFA, and Fannie Mae. Then, each application
will be scored using the rating system. Those
applications which cannot be funded by the particular
program will be shifted to the next available program.
Those applications will have to compete with the rest of
the applicants. If there is a tie in scores, the
earliest date of application will rule. If applications
remain unfunded, they can be placed on waiting lists.
The first two weeks in July will be used to sort and
score the applications.
C.. The scoring methodology would be as follows:
1. Age of house
Pre -1940 through 1950 - 3 points
1951 - 1970 - 2 points
1971 - 1978 LL u - 1_:point - . _ . -.
7'

OUTLINE- FOR-PRESCREENING REQUIREMENTS-FOR HOUSING REHAB PROGRAMS
PAGE 3
2. Priority list of homes based on staff inspections
and records.
Level 1 priority - 3 points
Level 2 priority - 2 points
Level 3 priority - 1 point
3.. The Housing Coordinator will have to evaluate
whether the value of the proposed work description
provided on the application is predominately code
related versus non -code related.
If all the work is code related - 3 points
If more than 50% of the value - 2 points
If less than 50% of the value - 1 point
(See attached master list).
4. Household income
0 - $19,000 - 3 points (0 - 50% of median)
$19,001 - $39,000 - 2 points (50% of median - median)
$39,001 - $55,000 - 1 point (median - $55,000)
D. Successful applications are then referred to the bank for
further financial review. This would be the case for the
MHFA and Fannie Mae programs. Because CDBG and HOME
programs are grants and not loans, additional financial
review is not necessary.
E. At this point, the "pre- screening" process has been
completed, and the program implementation begins.
IV. After the Housing Coordinator property processes all appli-
cations and funding remains available for any of the programs,
the application period will be reopened. For example:
05/01/93 -
06/30/93
Review application
07/01/93 -
07/31/93
Process application
08/01/93 -
09/30/93
Reopen application
10/01/93 -
10/31/93
Process application
Theoretically,
four "windows" of applications could be
available.

DATE: February 5, 1993
:..1 SUBJECT: Meeting of .February 4, 1993
On Thursday, February 4, 1b93, I met with Mayor Nee, Larry Commers, Jim
Casserly, and Barbara Dacy at the Hilton Nletrodome Anchorage Restaurant, from
8:00 a.m. until approximately 10:45 a.m.
We began the meeting by discussing the Lake Pointe. site. Jim Casserly pointed
out that the conventional approach would be to hire a broker and give the. broker
an exclusive listing. A less traditional approach would be to have " the City
conduct its own marketing campaign. Under this approach, the City would
prepare a brochure and hire a media consultant that would assist with the
marketing. He also suggested that_ we meet. with the State and include
information from the State in our brochure. By sending out'a brochure nationally,
we could gain knowledge about. the potential market that might be available.
The Mayor and Larry Commers began discussing the possibility of a hotel on the
site. They pointed out that the hotel occupancy rates are much better on the
north side of Minneapolis than they are on the south side.
I suggested that as we try to market the Lake Pointe site, that perhaps we should
begin by targeting the site as a home for corporate office space. The group
seemed to agree with this approach. Larry Commers did indicate that it would
be a good idea if we could get a single user to develop the whole site. He said
we need to figure out three or four levels of value that might be place on the
property, and think about the appropriate incentives for each of the levels of
value.
There was also some discussion on whether or not we would send the marketing
information to developers or brokers or to users. It was agreed that we send it
to developers, brokers and users. . ,

Barbara Dacy suggested that in working with a marketing consultant, we include
the marketing of the Southwest Quadrant. Mayor Nee seemed to think that the
Southwest Quadrant and Lake Pointe have different potential users, and that we
were probably better off separating the advertising of Lake Pointe from the
advertising of the Southwest Quadrant.
Larry Commers asked Jim Casserly to check on broker fees. We also talked
about meeting with a couple of brokers to get some ideas on how the site might
be marketed. Mayor. Nee said to talk to the brokers_ but do not make a
commitment to them. Larry Commers indicated that he -did not feel there were
many brokers in the Twin Cities that could do a national marketing project.
WeAhen discussed who We could get as a media consultant and what would be
spent. Mayor Nee. said he °does. -not like what we are doing .with.the current HRA
advertising.. He said it Is awfully obscure. He .did indicate that there are mail
houses in town that are very good. - He said it could cost us as much at $10,000
to get a -list of names. He suggested -that we prepare a site specific brochure
that would include information on .traffic counts -and residual demands. He also
said that the marketing. package could contain slip sheets -to allow- for
customizing the marketing package to particular users, such - as a- hotel.,
Larry Commers indicated that he*wanted Mayor Nee to be--very much involved
in. preparing the advertising' campaign -or at least in selecting an advertising
consultant.
Mayor Nee said we need a- presentation that says in three our four - seconds that
our site is a unique location. He also suggested that we target magazines, and
that this might work better than direct mail to developers or users: Larry
Commers suggested that we develop a five or ten minute video tape and a
presentation on computer discs.
Mayor Nee felt we needed to gather information on hotel occupancy rates. Larry
Commers said that there is a man named Horvath who has done this for New
Brighton. Jim Casserly indicated that New Brighton has done two or three
market studies for hotels in recent years.
Barbara Dacy suggested that we put together a team of experts to help us
market the Lake Pointe project. The team would include an advertising
consultant,; as welt as other individuals vkho ha ua ,F dle on hotel occupancy
rates - and - whatever other expertise we identify=as .

We discussed having staff put pressure on the property owner, and it was
decided that this would be undesirable. We did decide to schedule a meeting
With the developers, Lowell Wagner and Don Fitch, and attempt to firmly establish
that the City did not consider the real estate problem its problem. We want to
put the burden of solving the real estate issue back on the developer. We also
want to make it clear that we are not going to proceed with a development
agreement with either of the developers until Don Fitch has withdrawn his appeal
of our condemnation of the Dairy Queen site. Jim Casserly is planning on
meeting with Don Fitch and Lowell Wagner on Wednesday of next week. I will
attend and talk t! hem about this.
I general, I feel we had a very .productive meeting.

DATE: February 19, 1993
TO: William Burns, City Manager,
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: .1993 HOME Program
Anoka County has access to approximately $310,000 of 1993 HOME
funds. About $210,000 is available to Anoka County communities for
eligible projects. The attached application requests $70,000 of
HOME Funds for a single family rehabilitation program similar to
the program available through the Community Development Block Grant
funds.
Anoka County. advised us that the older communities, Columbia
Heights, Fridley, and Anoka, have all recently identified single
family rehabilitation programs as a priority in their housing
programs. Anoka County suggested that the cities work together to
submit an application for HOME funds. I have conferred with the
Community Development Directors at Anoka and Columbia Heights and
we all agreed that each of us would request $70,000.
The HOME program requires a local match of 20% of the HOME
allocation. This means that the City or the HRA would, be
responsible for up to $14,000. Anoka County is suggesting that the
HOME funds be coupled with an MHFA fix -up program and submit the
MHFA loan amount as the local match. Anoka County seems to believe
that the federal government will accept this approach. The federal
government is clear, however, that CDBG funds cannot be used as the
local match for a home rehabilitation project.
At the joint HRA and City Council meeting on January 9, 1993,
$50,000 of the proposed HRA housing budget was not allocated to a
specific program. Staff recommends that $14,000 be reserved to
serve as the HOME match. If we are able to use MHFA funds as a
match, it is likely that the HRA may not incur these expenses.
Unfortunately, the Department of Housing & Urban Development does
not give communities a substantial amount of time to complete tbsse .:.
applications. The County has asked communities to -aubmitt roy :
attached application by February 26, 1993. We have not been able
to review this matter with the Housing &Redevelopment Authority
formally, but we are doing so on an informal basis. Anoka County
� 7

1993 HOME Program:
February 19, 1993

suggested that the program requirements of the Community
Development Block Grant fund be used as a guide to allocating the
HOME monies. This would ease administration and the program would
be consistent across the communities. Each community, however,
could stipulate where and how the funds could be distributed.
Anoka County advises that it� is best to target specific areas in
the community.
The application indicates that the City is in the process of
identifying potential target areas. The City Council and HRA will
be reviewing potential target areas and pre- screening processes in
the very near future. =-
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to submit
the 1993 HOME program application as attached.

Re: 1993 HOME Program
Dear Barbara:
Anoka County will have access to approximately $310,000 of 1993 HOME funds to complete
housing projects that serve low income people. The. use of those funds is subject to HOME
regulations, and the priorities established by the Anoka County Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy.
If your agency desires to submit an application for those funds, please call Anoka County at
323 -5709 for an application packet. Applications are due Friday, February 26th.
I apologize for the short notice but HUD gives HOME recipients only 45 days from the Notice of
Fund Availability to the date the applications are due in their office. Hopefully, agencies have
been considering potential projects during the six months since our 1992 award, anticipating this
annual program.
Keep in mind that in any competition resulting from multiple application, agencies that address
the County priorities and submit complete applications proposing obviously feasible projects will
have an edge.
Please call me at 323 -5709 with any questions.

Attention: Barbara Dacy

Regarding: Project No. 02- 606 -08
Dear Barbara:
I discussed the reconstruction of Mississippi Street and University Avenue with
Forest Lake last Wednesday, and requested an update on their proposed
construction schedule. They indicated that they would be able to give me a schedule
of their activities early in March. In addition, I have not identified the Chief
Inspector for the County on the project and am considering utilizing the service of a
consultant to perform this task. In any event, I will be able to address the questions
asked in your letter of February 19, 1993 on or about the 15th of March, 1993. At
that time I will advise you as to the proposed construction schedule and to the
county contact on the project. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please
feel free to contact me at your convenience at 754 -3520.

Dear Jon:
John Flora advised me that in a pre- construction meeting on. Monday,
November 23, 1992, he requested that Forest Lake Contracting inform
the City of its proposed construction schedule so that a letter of
information can be sent out to the businesses along the Mississippi
Street /University Avenue improvement project. Also, at the
informational meeting on July 8, 1991, Councilman Billings
suggested that the County's chief inspector introduce him /herself
to the merchants and residents who would be affected by the
project. At that time, you indicated that this would not be a
problem.
I understand that the project is going to commence on approximately
April 15, 1993. I am already receiving questions from the tenants
of the Holly Center. Please advise me of your.current plans with
Forest Lake Contracting and who the County's chief inspector will
be- and some type of indication of a schedule. I will be
responsible for notifying the tenants and the residents, so I would
like to give them ample time before construction takes place.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
572 -3590.
Sincerely,

HOUSING Arm REDEVELOpmmT AUTHORITY
City of Fridley
DATE: February 24, 1993
r
TO: William Burns, Executive Director of HRA
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Attendance at the "Sixth Annual Business After
Hours Network" .
On February 23, 1993, Bill Hunt and I rented a display table at the
"Business After Hours Network ". This event was sponsored-by the
Anoka Chamber of Commerce, Fridley Chamber of Commerce, New
Brighton Chamber of.Commerce, North Hennepin Chamber of Commerce,
and Rogers Chamber of Commerce. Over 300 people were in
attendance.
It was a very good.opportunity to meet other key business persons
in the north. metro area. For example,.I met the President of First
Banks in Northtown, Peter A. Batinich. He was very interested in
.our housing programs and wanted to meet with the City to determine
our goals and needs. He also wanted to provide us with information
regarding the bank on Osborne Road. Further, I met a salesperson
from the "Idea Group" mailing service business. This would be a
potential company to use to develop a mailing list for targeted
businesses to market the 100 Twin site.
The cost of booth rental was $40. I recommend that we continue to
participate in this event. '
The materials we. distributed included the white envelopes with the
Vacant Land Inventory, HRA Annual Newsletter from 1992, park and
city maps, and other miscellaneous information. we are running low
on these packets. They seem to be very popular. I am in the
process of making more of these packets for the Commercial and
Industrial Exhibition in April at the Minneapolis Convention
Center. The North. Metro.Mayors I Association has. rented a booth for
the second year in a row at this exhibition.
