UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE - CHAIRPERSON SCHNABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. ACTION ITEMS• 4. PROPOSALS TO REHABILITATE 6431 JACKSON STREET N.E. Mr. Fernelius stated the HRA discussed this item at the last meeting. At that time, the direction was.to accept proposals for the rehabilitation of this property with a number of assumptions including that the purchase price would be fixed at $40,500. The bidders were instructed to meet minimum specifications and staff prepared bids accordingly. Bidders were also encouraged to identify any additional improvements beyond the minimum improvements in their proposals. Mr. Fernelius stated staff contacted 27 individuals and builders. Bidders were asked to prepare written proposals as well as a description of their experience and references. As is required with all scattered site acquisitions, the successful bidder would be required to enter into a development contract with the HRA and provide a letter of credit equal to the amount of the improvements. The bidder would need to arrange their own rehabilitation and permanent financing. Mr. Van Nelson reviewed the proposals. Mr. Van Nelson stated staff received three proposals. Bids were received from Mr. Ed Johnson who proposes to make the improvements and sell the property to his brother; Jeff Surma who proposes to own and occupy the home; and David Wiger who proposes to improve the property and place it on the market for sale. Mr. Van Nelson stated all three of the bids were thorough and complete. All address the minimum standards. All indicated an ability to meet the financing requirements and had experience working on similar projects. All provided references and all the references had good things to say about the bidders. There was some variation in the additional improvements. All three exceeded the minimum requirements. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 3 Mr. Van Nelson stated Mr. Johnson proposed the minimum standards and additional items would be worth $41,000 in value. That in addition to the purchase price totals of $81,500. Mr. Surma proposed $34,000 to meet the minimum requirements, $6,000 for additional improvements with a 10% contingency for a total of $44,000. That and the purchase price totals $84,500. Mr. Wiger proposed $24,500 to meet the minimum standards, $19,800 for additional items with a contingency of 10% for a total rehab of $48,840. That and the purchase price totals $89,340. Mr. Van Nelson stated all three proposals showed considerable merit. After evaluating the proposals, Mr. Wiger's proposal highlights include a 12 foot x 12 foot addition incorporating the previous addition to make it tie more into the existing structure; closing one unnecessary staircase and building in entertainment centers; new ceramic tile in the upper bathroom and an additional shower; a more modern approach to the kitchen; a new patio out the back; adding additional bedroom windows beyond replacing the windows that are there; and a substantial reworking of the front porch to make it structurally sound. Some additional items in his bid included the quality of materials, ceramic tile in the kitchen and bath, a new countertop in the kitchen, replacing exterior doors, and providing a substantial carpet allowance. Other strengths were the 20 years experience as a contractor licensed in the state and the City of Fridley and the financial capability to do the project. Mr. Van Nelson did a site visit on a project by Mr. Wiger in Fridley which was finished very well. Mr. Fernelius stated staff's recommendation would be to accept the proposal from Mr. Wiger. Between now and the September HRA meeting, staff would work with the HRA attorney to prepare the development contract and finalize the details of what the improvements will be. This would then be available for HRA consideration in September. If approved, Mr. Wiger would start work on October 1 and have 180 days in which to complete the project. Mr. Meyer asked if the HRA had decided whether the property was to be sold and remodeled or demolished. Ms. Schnabel stated the HRA had decided to see what was proposed to rehab the property. Based on the bids, the HRA would decide whether to repair or demolish. Mr. Meyer stated the question is whether to demolish or to repair. What is the cost to demolish the structure? Mr. Fernelius stated demolition costs $4,000 to $5,000. Mr. Prairie stated he drove by the property. He asked if there had been feedback from the neighbors. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 4 Mr. Fernelius stated the mood at the last meeting seemed to be that the neighbors would prefer to see the house torn down. Ms. Schnabel stated she did not think the neighbors had confidence that anyone could work with it and bring it up to the standards of the neighborhood or do the work in a timely fashion. Mr. Meyer asked if it was correct that, if they went with the proposal, the HRA has nothing at risk. Mr. Fernelius stated this was correct. We still have the option to foreclose the mortgage and get the property back, or take the letter of credit and do the work, and /or demolish. Mr. Meyer stated the cost to the HRA is that they tie up certain monies for the loan. Ms. Dacy stated the HRA will issue a mortgage at 5% and the HRA does not collect payment until all improvements are complete. Mr. Fernelius stated the motivation is that the HRA has a loan on the property. The HRA has invested money in the property and there is no additional expenditure at this point. There is no transfer of funds. The only amount being financed is the cost of the land which is being carried by the HRA. The bidder must secure their own financing for the improvements and then permanent financing. Ms. Schnabel stated the alternative is to demolish the structure in which case the HRA would have $40,500 invested for the purchase plus the additional expense of the demolition. The sale of the lot would recoup part of that. Mr. Fernelius stated this was correct. Because this is part of the scattered site program, the HRA might be able to collect some tax increment financing. This would recoup some of the costs. Mr. Prairie stated the contractor would start work on October 1. The date to complete construction is in 180 days. Mr. Fernelius stated yes. Six months is adequate time to do the work. They could start the exterior work this fall and do interior work during the winter. Mr. Meyer asked why Mr. Wiger included a sun porch, etc. Mr. Wiger stated the porch that is there serves no purpose and does not follow the roof line. He felt this addition would make the house more saleable. Mr. Meyer stated he was struck by the fact that the base bid is $24,000 and the extras $20,000. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 5 Mr. Wiger stated he and his partner pretty much do the work so they bid as if the work was subcontracted. Mr. Meyer asked if staff would accept this bid if we had the $24,000 minimum bid and forgot the extras. Mr. Prairie stated he did not understand this reasoning. They need to consider the bottom line or the total bid. Ms. Schnabel stated she also did not understand. Mr. Fernelius stated staff is proposing to sell the property to Mr. Wiger who is taking the risk. If he wants to invest $50,000 in that property, that is his choice. Clearly, the neighborhood would benefit from that. Ms. Dacy stated the bidder is meeting everything that is being required. Mr. Meyer asked why we did not tell the bidder to give us the $24,000 job. We established minimum standards and this bid was the lowest bidder on the minimum standards. Are the bids being considered on an equal basis? Ms. Dacy stated staff would not recommend going with just the minimum standards. Staff's direction from the HRA was to establish minimum standards and to encourage as much additional improvement as possible to enhance the value of the home. We are looking for as many things as possible to make the property marketable and compatible with the neighborhood. We need to look at the bottom line. We want a first class job on this remodeling project and staff believes this proposal meets those standards. Mr. Prairie stated, if they demolish the structure, this will cost us more and we will get only a portion back. Under remodeling, the HRA will receive the full amount back. Mr. Schnabel asked if there were further comments from the public. Mr. Surma stated he planned to do the work himself. The figure of $34,000 is for minimum improvements but there would be additional improvements. He would replace windows and re -roof the house. He works with friends. He has done other projects. He has a lot of other ideas. He thought they should look at what they were going to do with the property. The property would be owner occupied and he would plan to be there for a long time. Mr. Meyer asked if he was bonded and licensed in the City of Fridley. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 6 Mr. Surma stated no. He now lives in northeast Minneapolis. He has rental property but he wants to move out of that area. He can do most of the work. His friends who have licenses in various areas would help. Mr. Johnson stated he attended the last meeting. He felt the house would have been demolished if he had not been there. The loan interest is 5 %. Is this for contractors to get ahead or is this to help citizens? He plans to fix the house and his brother would live there. He did not think one can look at the numbers. You have to look at experience. If you put in $20,000, you are not getting that out of it if you are selling. Mr. Prairie asked the time frame on this. Ms. Dacy stated staff prefer the HRA take action this evening. The goal is to remodel in the next six months or demolish to include in the housing replacement program. The neighborhood wants resolution on the lot. The HRA has the option to table but that would mean approving everything at once in order to have time to do the work. Staff would prefer a decision tonight. Mr. Johnson asked why the time allowance was 180 days. The work could be done in 90 days. Mr. Fernelius stated that is the typical maximum requirement for new construction. Mr. Meyer stated the problem he sees is that these standard specifications are so loose that no one knows what we would be getting. They are very vague. Ms. Dacy stated the agenda packet information 4K through 4T spells out every standard for each room which is the outline or the framework for the development agreement. The root of your concern is that you want to make sure that what they are doing is correct and should address the issues. We want to set up a development contract and make sure it is met. Mr. Prairie stated the sample provided is similar with the bid summary sheet. Ms. Schnabel thought it was quite complete in terms of minimum standards so there should be no misunderstanding. Ms. Dacy stated that does negate remodeling versus demolition. If the HRA feels a new home is more appropriate, that then is an issue that must be decided. If you choose to remodel, staff wants to be ask specific as possible. Mr. Meyer stated he felt the extra work was also very vague. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 7 Ms. Schnabel stated the extra items is what each have spelled out on their bids. Mr. Prairie stated, if they demolish, there is then an open lot that may sit there for a time. Ms. Dacy stated, if the home were demolished, the site would be included in the inventory and they would try to sell it next spring. Mr. Meyer stated, from the neighbors' descriptions, it sounds hopeless inside to make anything of it. We may be putting money into something that may be unfixable. Mr. McFarland stated, with the property and $40,000 in value for improvements, the HRA will have plenty to back up the investment. MOTION by Mr. McFarland, seconded by Mr. Prairie, to accept the proposal from Mr. Wiger Ms. Schnabel asked the value of some of the other homes in the neighborhood. Mr. Fernelius stated the values range from the mid- $80,000's to $100,000. With the improvements, this house would be in that range. UPON A VOICE VOTE, WITH MS. SCHNABEL, MR. MCFARLAND, AND MR. PRAIRIE VOTING AYE AND MR. MEYER VOTING NAY, CHAIRPERSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED BY MAJORITY VOTE. 5. TIF REQUEST FOR NOAH'S ARK SENIOR HOUSING INC Ms. Dacy stated the senior housing proposal is from Noah's Ark Senior Housing, Inc. They are requesting pay -as- you -go tax increment financing from the HRA and are requesting the City Council to issue mortgage bonds. These are concurrent items that will be scheduled as they proceed. Noah's Ark is proposing to construct a 104 -unit, four -story independent living apartment building at 83rd and University. The total project cost is $8.5 million. The bond issuance would require that 40% of the units be rented to households with incomes less than 600 of the median income or $26,220. 40% of the units would be taxed at 2.3% rate and the rest at 3.4 %. The rental rates would be $575 per month UP to $1,100 per month. Approximately half of the apartments would be one - bedroom and the rest two - bedroom units. Ms. Dacy stated the City Council discussed this issue at their workshop meeting and agreed that a senior housing proposal was preferable to a commercial development. This is a higher value project and would generate more taxes. Staff completed an analysis and this project would generate $150,000 in taxes per HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 8 year as compared to commercial at $50,000. This also meets a community need for senior housing. Ms. Dacy stated, from a location standpoint, it is near the Nature Center and pedestrian trail, close to shopping, etc. The market is for independent seniors who may still drive. Transportation services will be provided for those who do not drive. Ms. Dacy stated the City Council made no objection from a land use or policy standpoint. There is enough time in the existing TIF district 103 to provide up to $680,000 in tax increment. The exact amount of the assistance needs to be further clarified but it will be in the range of $600,000 to $680,000. The purpose of the assistance is to assist with the land acquisition, soil correction and mitigation. The burden is on the developer to construct the project and the HRA delivers a note. The assistance amount represents approximately 8% of the project costs. Mr. Commers wanted staff to come up with the 1989 development request which was included in the agenda packet. Mr. Stutz had no problem with the request and felt there would be no impact on the townhomes. There"is enough room in the senior market for both products. Staff went through the senior housing guidelines and this project meets those guidelines. Ms. Dacy stated staff recommend the HRA authorize staff to continue negotiations with Ark Development to provide pay- as -you- go tax increment financing and prepare a development contract for HRA approval. Mr. Prairie asked what constitutes a senior. Ms. Dacy stated she believed this was persons aged 55 and over. For the bond, the age may be established at 62 or 65. Mr. Sorensen stated the average age of seniors living in these buildings is approximately 78 years. The turnover rate is less than 8% per year. This is an independent living facility. Noah's Ark is a non - profit agency and will provide services such as light housekeeping, transportation service, ancillary services for one hot meal a day. Other than that, other features include an emergency response system and security system in the building, a camera system and underground parking which is monitored. These are features the tenants like to see. Tenants have the right to come and go anytime they want to. This project will have ancillary spaces in the building including a community room, solarium, dining room, library, beauty parlor, TV room, management offices, etc., to help create a sense of community. Ms. Schnabel asked where the emergency response came from. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 9 Mr. Sorensen stated they have an on -site resident manager. There will also be a service monitoring. Usually the service response system is tied into the telephone system of the building. The services provided in the basic rent include the rent and heat. In Spring Lake Park, the rent also includes cable TV and the tenants pay extra for underground parking. Mr. Prairie stated the rent starts at $575 and goes up to $1,100. Are there different categories? Mr. Sorensen stated yes. About 40% of the units will rent for $575 for a one - bedroom apartment. The remaining 60% will adjusted accordingly. Their survey says they would be looking at a density ratio of approximately 65% to 70% to be one - bedroom units and the other 30% to 35% to be two bedrooms. What they are finding to be popular in the marketplace is an entry level one - bedroom unit with about 750 square feet. This is larger than most standard units. Also popular is a one - bedroom unit with a den; a two - bedroom unit; and a two - bedroom unit with a den. The rents will go up accordingly based upon square footage. Mr. Sorensen stated unit features will include basically everything except the telephone. Included will be mini - blinds, carpeting, all appliances, oak cabinets, etc. The only thing the tenants will need to bring is their furniture and telephone. Mr. Prairie asked how many parking stalls would be in the garage. Mr. Sorensen stated they have found that 70% of the tenants require underground parking. The day the building opens is the largest demand for parking. As more services are provided, people start getting rid of their vehicles. After five years, this goes down to approximately 50 %. Mr. Meyer asked the minimum age of tenants. Mr. Sorensen stated he thought it would be 55. Ms. Schnabel asked if they would allow pets. Mr. Sorensen stated he thought there was a pet policy with a security deposit required. Mr. Prairie asked how many units were at Village Green. Ms. Dacy stated Village Green has 100 units with five - stories. Mr. Meyer asked what the floor construction materials would be. Mr. Sorensen stated the floor between the garage and first floor would be two -hour fire rate precast columns and beams. The upper four floors will be fire rated to two hours with wood HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING. AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 11 Mr. Casserly stated it does not matter what those costs are. These are costs that will come out of the total and will help support the total project. MOTION by Mr. Meyer, seconded by Mr. Prairie, to authorize staff to proceed with formal negotiations with Ark Development to provide pay -as- you -go tax increment financing and to prepare a development contract for HRA approval.

REVIEW PERFORMANCE OF MEPC UNDER CONTRACT FOR EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATIONS Ms. Dacy stated MEPC held an event on July 18 which was attended by several HRA members. This was a good event with a good turnout. Ms. Dacy passed around a copy of information that was distributed at the July 18 event. Ms. Dacy stated staff feels MEPC is meeting what the contracts has called for. 7. STATUS OF HOUSING PROGRAM Mr. Fernelius stated staff is pleased with what has happened so far. We have achieved the goal of lob loans in four months. The flip side is that we could exceed the budget set aside for the loan program. 53 applications are still pending. The potential impact could be another $500,000. There is some money remaining in the budget. Mr. Fernelius stated these are monies that would be used for loans that would be paid back on a monthly basis. The average loan is about $12,000 with repayment over 12 years. This is income that will be coming back in and can be relied upon. Staff's request is for the HRA's concurrence to authorize up to $500,000 for the housing revolving loan program. Staff will continue to provide updates. Mr. Prairie asked what the budget was going to be for next year. Mr. Fernelius stated this has not been established at this point. Mr. Prairie asked if staff wanted to attain this in 1.5 years. Mr. Fernelius stated the direction from the City Council is to keep plugging away and try to meet the demand. If the HRA wants to set a limit, they can certainly do so. Staff want to promote the programs and the improvements that are being made. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 12 Ms. Dacy stated, when staff does a cash flow on an annual basis, they figure very conservatively on the revenue side and very high on the expense side. The HRA has an adequate cash position. The City Council has directed staff to be aggressive with the rehab program. Because the revolving loan fund has been successful so far and although the budget may look like it is over, we will receive these payments back. We do not want to be in a position to halt the program. These funds will come back in. The program has been so successful it has exceeded the expectations. Mr. Meyer asked if staff had given the HRA a summary of the types of housing rehab that has been done to date. Mr. Fernelius stated staff has not done a formal analysis. A range of improvements have been made including roof replacement, furnace replacement, some room additions, multiple repairs including roof, siding, windows, etc. Some of these improvements have been deferred. He felt the program is making a positive impact. Mr. Prairie asked if how many driveways were being done. Mr. Fernelius stated he did not have actual numbers. He felt there were very few. Staff are encouraging that type of work. Mr. Meyer stated he would like to see as a condition of the loan that a person must undergo an inspection of plumbing, electrical, heat, fire and then address any deficiencies. Mr. Fernelius stated they could do that. When they started the program, there were a number of restrictions which made the programs less popular. Staff have modelled the program after some that are out there. The borrower drives what is done. We are determining who is eligible but they do not prioritize which comes first. Ms. Dacy stated the Remodeling Counselor helps the applicant look at those things so they are being considered. The City Council direction is to get people moving to take an interest in their homes and to do the improvements that are needed. Ms. Dacy stated staff would go to CEE to produce a report and analyze what repairs are being made. MOTION by Mr. McFarland, seconded by Mr. Meyer, to authorize up to an additional $500,000 for the housing program budget for 1996. Mr. Meyer stated this is with the understanding that staff will draw up a list of what the funds are being used for.

REVIEW PROPOSED STRATEGY TO ACCOMPLISH MULTIPLE FAMILY HOUSING GOALS Ms. Dacy stated each year the City Council develops goals and objectives for the year. One of the objectives for 1997 is to closely evaluate the most severely deteriorated apartment complexes in the community and figure out ways to assist the owner in completing significant rehabilitation or completing ourselves. After identifying the complexes, the choices can include doing nothing, private rehab, non - profit ownership, public - private partnership, public ownership, or demolish the buildings. The City Council wants staff to explore the options in the middle. Mr. Fernelius stated the rental inspection program has been in place for 1.5 years. Buildings are inspected every four years. The focus is on basic health and safety related issues. It does not get at issues such as marketability and attractiveness. The City through the police department is involved in a rental landlord coalition that deals with tenant screening, building maintenance, etc. CEE did a short presentation on programs we are offering. The emphasis has been on moderate rehabilitation but they do not focus on those properties that require a substantial investment. Mr. Fernelius stated building issues are a concern. Many buildings were constructed in the late 50's and early 60's and were designed as inexpensive housing. Most contain one and two bedroom units. The apartments are generally small with older appliances and fixtures and lack some of the modern amenities such as covered parking, balconies, play areas, green spaces, three - bedroom units, etc. Problems are compounded when owners do not invest in their properties. Another area is tenant services. More tenants need services linked to the housing projects such as child care, education, employment, etc. Mr. Fernelius stated staff have identified four areas which have buildings that are generally in poor condition, have some code compliance problems, are unattractive in appearance, etc. Staff did some site visits and came up with some suggestions for improvement. The smallest project was four buildings with 28 units and the largest was nine buildings with 108 units. Mr. Van Nelson stated the first site in on Island Park Drive and is the largest site with nine buildings. It is adjacent to East River Road which could provide the link to transportation but now is off of the main street. It is close to an elementary school and to the river. The buildings are poorly designed. There is no sense of structure to the spaces and parking is up to the HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 14 building. With no definition of front or back yard, people can be anywhere around the building at any time without raising suspicion. The buildings are not well articulated. The units are primarily one - bedroom and some are two bedroom. There is little storage which contributes to the clutter. There is no evidence of people living there other than cars. The windows are small. Mr. Van Nelson stated some improvements include making a prominent entrance, adding landscaping to create space to get outside, lowering the grade so the lower level units could get more light, adding a roof pitch to give the scale of a residential building. Mr. Fernelius stated these ideas are conceptual. Staff have not talked with the owners and staff do not know what the expenses would be. We don't know if that is the plan for every building. There may be a variety of things one could do with each building to give an individual character. Mr. Van Nelson stated the second site is at 7th Street and Polk. This is an isolated multi - family area close to residential. It is bounded by major transportation routes. There are site constraints so the developments are smaller but have a negative impact. The buildings themselves are repetitive units, lack articulation with the windows, have very little landscaping, and lacks structured space such as a play area. Mr. Van Nelson stated staff talked about incorporating some service programs including a community room in the lower level apartments, providing a way to access the building would enhance the area as well as the possible addition of balconies, landscaping and lighting. Mr. Van Nelson stated the third site has 28 units in four buildings. All are two -story stucco in a residential area and bounded by University. The buildings are not much larger than a house. The windows are small. There is no landscaping. The spaces between the buildings are paved for parking. Mr. Van Nelson stated possible changes could include bumping out a small enclosure to bring the scale of the facade into line. The bedrooms are on the street so there is little privacy. The windows are in poor condition and need to be replaced. Their plan considered larger openings. Adding a low pitch hip roof would bring it into scale with the neighborhood. Landscaping and decorative lighting would add to the appearance and safety. Mr. Fernelius stated, in terms of an action plan, within the next two or three months staff will talk with some of the owners to see if they are interested in participating in a program like this. Staff will not make any commitments. This is research to HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 15 see if there is any interest. Ms. Dacy talked about a continuum but we need to talk about the financial aspects, ownership issues, how these buildings are managed, etc., as well as what role the HRA would have in any project. In order to take these elements one step further, staff would like to hire Gar Hargens to provide some rehabilitation options including costs estimates, site plans, etc. Staff estimate the cost to be $2,500. There are some unused funds under the contract the HRA has with Close & Associates, so the net expenditure would be approximately $1,300. There is also the issue of tenant services which is where a non- profit agency would step in. Many of these projects would eventually involve a non - profit element to tie in tenant services and management issues. Staff will also talk to other cities who have had experience. Mr. Fernelius stat January 1, perhaps finance agency for have site control. research the items will be talking to ad staff's goal is to do something by have an application ready to go to the housing an RFP. This would require a commitment to In the coming months, staff would continue to discussed and keep the HRA up to date. Staff the City Council about this on April 19. Mr. Meyer stated he was interested in the architectural change of the site, but what is the bottom line. What is the ultimate goal? Mr. Dacy stated staff want to find the results of a high, medium, and low rehab. The overall goal is to remodel inside and outside and turn the buildings around. We have to find the right mixture. Between the owner's cash flow and the MHFA program, we can come together and see if anything can be done. Mr. Meyer stated, if you take all the deficiencies, there is no way with any reasonable budget that we would ever cure more than a fraction of those deficiencies. Ms. Dacy stated all of the sites are R -3. Another option is that some of these buildings could be demolished and replaced with new multiple family housing. The multi - family part is probably going to be the most expensive issue the HRA will have to deal with. Mr. Meyer asked why bother. These are units built by private parties, occupied, rented, and making money for the owner. The owners are finding people to rent the units. What business is it of the HRA to disturb that process? Ms. Dacy stated the City Council is telling staff that they feel these are having a negative impact on the neighborhood. The City Council wants to prevent blight and decline from impacting the City. These are the areas that seem to be causing the most problems. HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING, AUGUST 8, 1996 PAGE 16 Mr. Fernelius stated what he did not show on the map is four other properties that are similar to the latter. They are the same design but are better maintained. There is more multi- family to the north which is properly maintained and properly managed. Those shown have the perception of bringing the neighborhood down. This represents an opportunity to intervene and doing something. Mr. McFarland stated the owners must not care or they would do something. What can we do to motivate them? Ms. Dacy stated this is the issue. How do we get an owner to go beyond repaving a driveway, or re- roofing, etc.? Mr. Meyer asked what business is was of public funds to help out some landlords. There is not way to correct every ill in the City. Where do we stop? There are many issues of blight that have nothing to do with the building. Ms. Dacy stated it may be that we buy the building and improve it. Non - profit ownership is a way to turn the building around. Mr. Prairie asked if staff was requesting funds to do an analysis. Mr. Dacy stated yes. Staff will continue to do all of these things along with cost estimates. Mr. Meyer stated Gar Hargens is very good and he has no problem with getting estimates. He is against the program. He sees no merit in this type program. He does not see that these units have any more of a detrimental effect as before. MOTION by Mr. McFarland, seconded by Mr. Prairie, to authorize staff to hire Gar Hargens of Close & Associates to evaluate rehabilitation options, exterior design issues and related site improvements.

Burns, Executive Director of HRA 4rIO& FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Grant Fernelius, Housing Coordinator SUBJECT: Consider Proposals to Administer Home Improvement Grant Program Background Since 1993, the HRA and City have sub - contracted with Anoka County Community Action Program (ACCAP)'to administer the Home Improvement Grant Program. This program provides assistance up to $15,000 to low- income homeowners to fix -up their properties. The Home Improvement Grant Program is funded every year through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and-HOME programs. Separate service agreements are required because the CDBG funds are received by the City and the HOME funds are channeled through the HRA. Each year, the City Council approves the service agreement for the CDBG funds and the HRA approves the service agreement for the HOME funds. This year the HRA received $60,000 in HOME funds from Anoka County. Request for Proposal In an effort to potentially reduce costs and consolidate administrative activities, staff was directed to solicit a proposal from the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) which currently administers the HRA's single and multiple family loan programs. ACCAP was also given an opportunity to submit a proposal. A copy of the RFP is attached. The RFP requested each organization to state their experience and capacity to handle the program and specify administrative costs. Home Improvement Grant Program Memo September 6, 1996 Page 2 Current Administrative Procedures Currently, ACCAP administers the program under a shared arrangement with the HRA. The HRA Housing Coordinator markets the program, takes applications, performs some processing duties and determines eligibility. Eligible households are then referred to ACCAP for further processing, including property inspections, work write -ups, bid specifications, etc. ACCAP monitors the construction and does final inspections and payments to the contractor. ACCAP charges a flat rate of 11 % of the program budget for its share of the administration. This amount is paid regardless of the number of grants that are provided. Over the course of the last three years ACCAP has been paid $62,148 to administer a total of 44 grants. This represents approximately $1,641 per grant. Proposals Received Both ACCAP and CEE submitted proposals to administer the program. Both - organizations have adequate staff and experience to administer the program. In addition, staff has had a good working relationship with both agencies. ACCAP is requesting a 3% increase in its fees to cover the added administrative costs. ACCAP's total cost to administer the program would equal. 14% of the budget or $10,500. This amount is consistent with what Anoka County pays ACCAP to administer the general county -wide housing rehabilitation program. It is difficult-to. project a per -grant administrative cost because we don't know how many grants will actually be made. However, assuming an average grant of $12,320 (three year average), the 1996 program will support approximately 5 grants. Under ACCAP's flat fee arrangement this represents a per -grant cost of $2,100. CEE is requesting a fee of $850.00 per grant. CEE would receive this fee regardless of the amount of time spent on each application. CEE would not be paid if it didn't make any grants (the same applies to ACCAP). Based on ACCAP's historical costs, CEE's fee is approximately 50% lower. When factoring in ACCAP's proposed cost structure, CEE's fee is about 60% less. CEE has several staff people who have experience working with the CDBG and HOME regulations which are relevant to housing rehabilitation. In addition, CEE has in -house staff to do inspections and work write -ups. Presently, ACCAP sub - contracts with two inspectors, which at times has caused some delays in the program. Home Improvement Grant Program Memo September 6, 1996 Page 3 In addition to lower costs, CEE would assume all program administration and offer better customer service through "one stop shopping ". Assistance packages could be tailored to each customer's needs based on their financial situation. Equally as important, customers would not have to be shuffled between different agencies, staff and application procedures. Recommendation Staff recommends that the HRA accept the proposal by the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) to administer the Home Improvement Grant Program and authorize the Chairperson and Executive Director to enter into a Service Agreement for 1996 HOME funds to run through December 31, 1997. The City Council will consider a separate action regarding the 1996 CDBG portion at a future meeting in September. GF/ M -96 -415 Request for Proposal Introduction The Fridley HRA is seeking a proposal /s to administer its Home Improvement Grant Program. The program is funded through the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investments Partnerships program via the Anoka County HRA. The Fridley HRA receives the funds from the County and then provides financial assistance to low - income Fridley homeowners. Background For several years Anoka County has operated a County -wide deferred payment grant program to assist low- income homeowners in making basic repairs and improve- ments to their properties. With the exception of one community, all of the cities have relied on Anoka County to administer the program on their behalf. Due to staff constraints, Anoka County has sub - contracted the program administration to Anoka County Community Action Program, a local non - profit based in Blaine. In 1993, the City of Fridley and HRA became more aggressive on :horsing issues and utilized their respective CDBG and HOME allocations to operate an independent program. The program was modeled after the County -wide program and utilized the same eligibility criteria. Each year, approximately $225,000 is budgeted for the program. Program Specifics To qualify for this program, an applicant must meet the following criteria: 1. Have adjusted household income which is at or below 50% of median income which is based on household size. A schedule of the income limitations is attached. The County revises these figures once a year. 2. Have less than $25,000 in real assets, excluding the value of the home to be improved, one vehicle, households furniture and personal belongings.

Burns, Executive Director of HRA I qk FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Grant Fernelius, Housing Coordinator SUBJECT: Consider Application to MHFA for Community Rehabilitation Fund The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) has announced that it is accepting applications under its Single Family Super RFP. Applications are due by September 13, 1996. There are eight programs that have been combined into one application process. After reviewing the RFP documents, HRA and CEE staff are interested in pursuing funding through the Community Rehabilitation Fund. A summary of the program is attached. Proposed Pro ram Our existing housing rehabilitation program provides a wide array of assistance to Fridley homeowners with incomes up to $58,650. The programs are intended to encourage home improvements by offering a low- interest rate loans. A combination of HRA, MHFA, CDBG, HOME and other funding sources are used to finance the loans and grants. In some cases, however, homeowners are unable to qualify for these programs (i.e. income too high for a grant; no equity for a loan). To address this problem the HRA established a Last Resort Program to help families who "fall through the cracks ". The Last Resort Program provides a $10,000 deferred payment loan for basic repairs and improvements. The loan accrues interest at 2% per year for the first 10 years, and then no interest for the remaining 10 years. The loan is due in full upon the 20th year or sooner if the property is sold or transferred. The HRA budgeted $150,000 for Last Resort Loans this year; so far 3 loans have been made for a total of $15,000. 3 MHFA Community Rehabilitation Fund Memo September 6; 1996 Page 2 Although these loans must be repaid, it is difficult to project for cashflow and budgeting purposes when the funds will be returned. To help reduce the uncertainty and financial impact to the HRA, staff is proposing that we apply for Community Rehabilitation Funds to pay for 50% of the program cost (excluding administration). For example, on a $10,000 Last Resort Loan, $5,000 would be provided by MHFA and $5,000 (plus an origination paid to CEE) would provided by the HRA. The application to MHFA requests $75,000 in funds to be matched by the HRA. The total budget would be $150,000, plus an additional amount for loan originations. The funds would be spent over the course of the next two years as needed. Recommendation Staff recommends that the HRA approve the attached proposal to MHFA for $75,000 in funding under Community Rehabilitation Fund. GF/ M -96 -416 RUA PROGRAM GOAL To encourage partnership efforts between MHFA, cities, local lenders, nonprofit organizations, local governments, community organizations, and other participants by providing funds to assist communities in improving and preserving designated neighborhoods and /or geographical areas. ELIGIBLE PROGRAM APPLICANTS — Cities Any entity meeting the definition of a city as defined in Minnesota Statute 462C.02, subd. 6, may apply. (This may include cities, city and county housing authorities, port authorities, and economic development authorities). If authorized by a resolution of the city, a nonprofit organization may apply on behalf of a city. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Loans /grants will be made available in participating communities for the purposes of acquisition, construction, demolition, rehabilitation, permanent financing, refinancing, or gap financing of single family housing. (Gap financing is financing to cover the gap between rehab /new construction costs and the appraised property value. Proposals that are requesting a gap subsidy, the amount of the gap may be considered in ranking applications. To calculate the Gap complete the attached Gap Financing Worksheet). • Program recipients total income cannot exceed 115% of the greater of the state or area HUD median income. • Community Rehabilitation Program funds cannot be used to defray the cost of administering the program. • Leveraged funds will be considered when.awarding grants.' • Partnerships between the city and other local participant(s) must be developed. • Eligible projects must address housing needs created by existing economic development.

The City of Fridley's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is currently embarking on a citywide home improvement initiative to address the housing needs of a large majority of the single - family housing population. In order to accomplish this task, the HRA has contracted with the Center for Energy and Environment, an independent non - profit corporation based in Minneapolis, to assist the HRA in program design and delivery. In the Spring of 1995, the HRA commissioned a Focus Group Study by an independent consulting firm. The Focus Group Study utilized resident volunteers to discuss the perceived . housing rehabilitation needs of the City and requested input as to how to address those needs. The vast majority of the group felt the HRA should design and deliver a comprehensive home improvement program -that was user - friendly and offered low- interest financing and/or grants to a broad range of homeowners. Current program guidelines target low income households and therefore restrict participation by middle income families that need rehabilitation assistance. . As a direct result of the Focus Group Study, the HRA designed the Fridley Home Improvement Program. The Home Improvement Program (the "Program ") offers low- interest home improvement financing at 5% to provide residents with affordable repayment terms for eligible improvements. The Program also offers the opportunity to receive free remodeling assistance from the HRA's Remodeling Counselor. The Remodeling Counselor is available to help residents identify and prioritize improvements, as well as analyze bids_ EXISTING HOUSING PRO( ! -A MS The HRA is committed to an aggressive marketing approach to insure the Program receives maximum visihility in the community. The HRA has produced a hrochure (please see enclosed) Proposal to Participate in MHhA's Community Rehabilitation Fund Center for Gnern, and Environment 3E which descrihes the Program and has been distributed to every household in (hc City. In addition, the HRA held its first Home Remodeling and Garden Fair on April 20, 1996 at the Fridley High School. The HRA used the event as the kickoff for the Program. Also, the City of Fridley has established extended hours on Tuesday evenings to allow residents easier access to City Departments. During these extended hours, HRA and CEE staff members are available to assist residents with questions they have pertaining to remodeling and financing programs. Since the Home Remodeling and Garden fair in April, the Program has proven to be a great success. To date, the HRA has originated over $1.2 million in revolving home improvement loans. It is important to remember that over 90% of the funds used so far have been provided by the HRA. As part of the HRA's home improvement initiative, CEE and the HRA received approval to use the MHFA Community Fix-up Fund (CFF) Loan Program in the last Super RFP process. The HRA has targeted several areas within the City where the CFF program can be used. The target areas were selected by property age and value, median household income, and general condition of the housing stock. The City of Fridley has a large percentage of residents that satisfy the household income limits under the Community Fix -up Fund Program. According-to 1990.cer�sus data, 76% of Fridley homeowners would be income eligible for the Community Fix -up Fund Program. While the application for funding under the Community Rehabilitation Fund was not selected for funding during the last Super RFP process, the HRA has since assessed the current programs available to Fridley residents and is again making application to MHFA for funding under the Community Rehabilitation Fund. The HRA currently has programs that address low income households by using federal Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and HOME progams, and its own revolving loan program which utilizes underwriting guidelines very similar to the MHFA Fix -up Fund, as age L Proposal to Participate, in MHFA's Community Rehabilitation Fund Center for Ener��y and Environn'ient 3F well as the MHFA HELP and Fix -up Fund Loan programs. Howcver, it is hecomin« apparent that there is a group of homeowners that are not being served under the existing" programs. T'he HRA would like to address this issue. PROPOSED LAST RESORT LOAN PROGRAM When the HRA initially embarked on the Home Improvement Loan Program, a small portion of the portfolio was set -aside as a "Last Resort Fund ". The Last Resort Fund (LRF) was to be utilized when all other program options had been exhausted. The LRF is a deferred loan of up to $10,000. An interest rate of 2% is charged for the first 10 years only, with the remaining 10 years interest free. The loan must be repaid when the property is sold, transfers ownership, or 20 years, whichever occurs first. While this is a very worthwhile loan program that the HRA would like to continue, the Last Resort Fund is very strenuous on the cash -flow of the HRA. The HRA would like to apply to MHFA for funding under the Community Rehabilitation Fund to help alleviate the financial burden of the Last Resort Fund. The HRA would like to apply for $75,000 to use as a one to one match with HRA funds. Below is the proposed budget. Budget HRA Funds $79,500.00* MHFA Funds $75,000.00 $154,500.00 * HRA will also pay administrative costs of $300 per loan. Assuming 15 loans are made (at $10,000.00 per loan) total administrative costs will be $4,500. Eli(ibility Criteria 1.

Older housing requires more attention and has some marketing implications in comparison with other suburbs in terms of amenities. The 1994 study evaluating housing conditions showed that there are a minimum of 900 homes in the City requiring some repair. Mr. Fernelius stated that another factor for a revolving loan program is that the private sector is not providing financing for rehabilitation to those persons that have higher debt loads or who lack equity in their home. Also, there is not sufficient federal funding available, and it is important to access the City's ability to address housing conditions now rather than responding to a crisis down the road. Mr. Fernelius stated that the HRA fund balances will decline in the next fifteen years due to other redevelopment activities. This levy would provide a funding source, and the program could become self - sufficient. The HRA considered this tax levy and passed a resolution adopting a levy for taxes payable in 1997. If Council adopts this resolution, the loan agreement would be discussed at the August 26 Council meeting. Councilwoman Jorgenson_ asked for what purpose the loans would be used. Mr. Fernelius stated that homeowners use the loans for replacing roofs, siding, windows, and other repairs and improvements to their homes. Councilman Schneider stated that the City is now involved in a rehabilitation program. However, this would expand the program and allow more persons to participate. One issue the City has identified as a priority goal is programs to improve the housing stock. The better people feel about their homes, the better it is for the community. This seems to be a step in the right direction, as the value of everyone's home will increase and offset the dollars invested. Mr. Pribyl stated that the levy is for the HRA but does require the consent of the City Council. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopt Resolution No. 58 -1996. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a roll call vote, Councilman Schneider, Councilwoman Jorgenson, Councilman Billings and Mayor Nee voted in favor of the motion and Mayor Nee declared the motion unanimously. 1-3.

At the time of acquisition in June 1995, the HRA deposited $1,224,000 at the County. If the Commissioner's determination is not appealed, the HRA would pay an additional $333,814 plus approximately $18,360 of interest. The Executive Director and Chairperson have discussed the award amount with Fritz Knaak, HRA Attorney.

Through the end of August, 115 loans and grants were made for a total of $1,351,234. Of this figure, the HRA has provided $1,194,952. According to CEE there are still 40 applications pending approval, however it is unclear' when these loans will actually close. Also, at the August 8th HRA meeting Commissioner Meyer requested a report on the type of repairs that have been made through the program. A list is attached showing the various categories of repairs: Please note that the repairs do not correspond to the number of loans; for example one loan may involve more than one type of repair. As you can see, the most common repairs include windows, doors, roofs, HVAC systems, landscaping, general remodeling, siding and trim, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling.

Street Lights Along Osborne Road A copy of Bob Schroer's July 22, 1996 letter was included in the August HRA packet. Mr. Schroer and Mr. Fitch are requesting that the-HRA install double ball light - standards at the Osborne Road and University Avenue intersection. I spoke with Mr. Schroer on September 6, 1996 regarding his request. One of the options that he has suggested is to install the street lights. on the north side of Osborne Road from Main Street to the service drive, and then north past Kennedy Transmission and possibly in front of ABRA Auto Body. Mr. Schroer also suggested that the lights be installed in front of the new construction projects underway on Osborne Road between the railroad tracks and Main Street. Steiner Development is building a 110,000 square foot office /warehouse building at the northwest corner of Main Street and Osborne Road. Another industrial building on the south side of Osborne Road will be under construction soon (it was destroyed in the recent wind storm) . Mr. Schroer feels that the northern end of town is lacking the visual amenities that now exist at University Avenue and Mississippi Street, and at Highway 65 and East Moore Lake Drive. He feels that the street light installation would "brighten" the area and would be a nice "complement" to the new construction now under way on Osborne Road. History Mr. Schroer made a similar request in 1992 (see my letter dated December 18, 1992). A number of options were identified in my letter, ranging from $25,480 to as much as $330,600. In 1992, 1 advised Mr. Schroer that there were other priorities that the HRA 10 Request for Street Lights; Osborne Road September 6, 1996 Page 2 were considering (single family and multiple family rehabilitation programs), and that any request for projects such as street lighting would have to compete for available funds. I suggested that if he and the property owners would be willing to agree to pay for the installation costs and the ongoing maintenance, that would be an option that the HRA could initiate on behalf of the owners. Recommendation No action is recommended at this time. Prior to Thursday's meeting, I will prepare maps of the options that I prepared in 1992 as well as update the costs of installation and maintenance. There is no question that the street lights do add to the appeal of the area, and make a nice impression of the community. The financial impacts, however, need to be evaluated and weighed against other priorities. One of the options that I will investigate is how much a street light assessment district would cost the adjacent owners. BD /dw M -96 -420 10A i 10 B &BN oB s Produce Ranch 2 4 7620 UNIVERSITY AVE.

FAX (612) 571 -1287 December 18, 1992 Robert Schroer Bob's Produce Ranch 7620 University Avenue N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Mr. Schroer: In your letter of September 1992, you had inquired about the cost of light standards similar to the ones at Moore Lake Commons along Osborne Road and from Osborne Road to 85th Avenue. The double bulb light standards installed along East Moore Lake. Drive in the Moore Lake Commons shopping area cost about $1,730 each in 1988. We recently received a cost estimate for the same light standards to be installed along Mississippi Street at about $3,130 per light standard. This cost does not include the cost for ongoing electricity. As part of a larger project such as the one you suggested between Osborne Road and 85th Avenue, a bidding process may reduce the cost of the lights below $3,000. Your letter seemed to indicate a desire to have the lights installed along the frontage road from Osborne Road north to 85th Avenue. At a spacing of 150 feet (which is 50 feet longer than the spacing at Moore Lake Commons), total cost would be approximately $115,810 for 37 lights at $3,130. This cost would be for the light standards along one side of the frontage road and not two sides of the road as is done at the Moore Lake Commons development. If both sides of the service road would have light standards, the cost would double. Another option is to continue the light standards south of the Osborne frontage road to the intersection of 73rd Avenue. Again, if light standards are used on one side of the service road, the total cost for 53 light standards would be $155,300. If lights are installed on both sides of the service road, the cost would be $330,600. Another alternative is to install light standards on the west side of University Avenue along Osborne Road to the railroad tracks. Twelve light standards on both sides of Osborne Road,_six on each side, would cost approximately $25,480. 10C Robert Schroer December 18, 1992 Page 3 The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and the City Council have prioritized the use of tax increment monies for the development of single family and multiple family rehabilitation programs. Because of the age of our housing stock and because of the changing demographics in the metropolitan area, we are currently developing rehabilitation loan and grant programs to correct substandard housing and to maintain and improve housing quality. At the current time, beyond the Moore Lake Commons and Mississippi Street improvement projects, the HRA has not discussed the funding of lighting projects. Originally, when the University Avenue Corridor study was contemplated in the mid- 1980's, an extensive lighting program coupled with intersection improvements was contemplated. The HRA and City Council, however, have Postponed further consideration on those improvements because of the emphasis on the housing programs and because a light rail transit route is planned by Anoka County to be installed along the east side of the University Avenue right -of -way. If you would 1!�. to initiate a petition among affected business owners for any ._ -he alternatives cited above, you are encouraged to do so. If the property owners agree to pay for the installation costs and ongoing maintenance, I -would be more than happy to discuss the - _project with the HRA and City Council. I cannot guarantee that the HRA will participate to any extent in this type of project given the current priority on housing programs. I will make the HRA aware of your letter and request during their upcoming budget discussion for 1993. Should you need further information, please feel free to contact me.

We would like the city staff to investigate the cost of installing the new outdoor lighting system, (similar to Moore Lake Commons) on the service road by us. As a long term project, it would be nice to have the lighting beautification system extend from the Wal -Mart store to Osborne Rd. We feel that the area business would-be very receptive to the lighting improvement and would participate in such a plan. When some of the information on costs become available, we would be more than happy to meet with staff to review plans. With the county upgrading Osborne Rd. soon, this might be a good time to look at the improvement.

For purpose MEMORANDUM HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY DATE: September 6, 1996 TO: William Burns, Executive Director of HRA TA, FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Potential Joint Meeting at October HRA Meeting At the October. 10, 1996 HRA meeting; we would like to invite the City Council to attend the meeting to discuss with the HRA the City's "vision" for its redevelopment priorities. After further discussion about the costs of a rehabilitation program for severely deteriorated apartment complexes, we thought it prudent to discuss how this priority compares with other redevelopment projects (such as Hyde Park, Northeast Quadrant of University and Mississippi Street, etc.). It is proposed that the meeting begin at 6:30 p.m. We will arrange dinner. Please review your calendars and -let us know if the proposed time is acceptable. It is proposed that the discussion with the City Council would occur first, and then any routine HRA business items would be completed (a small agenda is anticipated). BD /dw M -96 -419 12
