Memorandum
DATE: January 28, 2010
TO: William W. Bums, Executive Director of HRA
FROM: Rick Pribyl, Finance Director
Paul Bolin, Assistant Director of HRA
SUBJECT: Approval of 2010 Budget
Attached you will find the final 2010 budget document and the cash balances as of 11/30/09.
This document is now ready for your approval.
We have made a couple of small changes to the budget since your January meeting. We
increased the dollar amount associated with the housing demonstration project in the Housing
Loan Programs Fund to $130,000. We also "tweeked" the numbers in the Center City TIF Fund,
Expenditures, to more closely match the close out of that fund after the pay off of the bonds and
the payment to the County related to the return of the excess TIF funds.
As always, should you have any additional questions related to this topic, Paul and I will be
available to answers any questions you may have.
With these minor changes, staff is recommending to the Housing Redevelopment Authority
Commissioners to make a motion to approve the 2010 Fridley Housing Redevelopment Authority
Budget for 2010.

Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, provided highlights of the HRA 2009 financial activity
and an overview of the proposed 2010 budget. The packet included Cash Balances as of 11/30/09,
General Fund, Housing Fund and TIF Districts 2009 Activity through 11/30/09, the Final 2009 Budget
and the Proposed 2010 Budget.
Mr. Bolin said that the HRA Budget is divided into three categories; a General Fund (Administrative and
Operating Expenses), a Special Revenue Fund (Housing Loan Program) and a Capital Outlay Funds (Tax
Increment Districts, Redevelopment Projects and Housing Replacement Program).
Mr. Bolin reviewed the 2009 Activity Highlights which included the decertification of the Center City
Tax Increment District, the property acquisitions in Gateway Northeast, the demolition of Gateway
Northeast properties and the legal work necessary for Northstar.
Mr. Bolin said that revenues are projected at a total of $2.5M for 2010, which is an $881,777 decrease
from 2009. This is primarily driven by Center City (TIF # 1) becoming inactive at the end of 2009.
The total expenses are projected at $5.4 M for 2010, which is a $726,000 increase from 2009. This
increase is caused by the redemption of the 2004B bonds in the amount of $1,175,000.
Mr. Bolin said that the total projected capital outlay expenditures for 2010 Funds include:
General Fund $800,000
Housing Loan Programs $120,000
Lake Pointe (TIF #6) $667,800
57th (TIF #16) $24,465
TIF #19 (TIF #19) $119,600
Mr. Bolin said that the total debt service payments in 2010 involve the redemption of the 2004B bonds
and the return to the County of all excess cash balances at that time from TIF District #1. The projected
scheduled debt payment is $580,062 and the projected payoff of 2004B 2/1/10 is $1,175,000.
Commissioner Gabel asked about the Miscellaneous Revenue and what kind of interest rate is being
earned and what the investment is in.
Rick Pribyl, Finance Director, said that the City is restricted in what can be invested in based on State
Statute. Interest rates are around 1 -1 1/2%.
Chairperson Commers asked about the cash balances and if the monies the city is using for bond
redemptions will be a reduction from the cash balance.
Mr. Pribyl answered yes, once the bonds have been turned back the balance will be $7.5M.
Chairperson Commers asked what the amount is that will be returned to the county.
Mr. Pribyl said he would not have an exact number until February.
Chairperson Commers asked about the allocation between HRA and the City with respect to the staff
time etc. and if it has changed for 2010.
Mr. Pribyl answered no, the rate remained the same.
Chairperson Commers asked what the Capital Outlay of $800,000 was for.
Mr. Bolin said that was to purchase additional properties in the Gateway Northeast Area.
Commissioner Gabel said she had heard the City Council talk about going to the Capitol to attempt to
get legislation in terms of scattered site housing tax increment districts.
Mr. Bolin said that is correct, on Monday night there was talk with the legislative delegation. Scott
Hickok mentioned plans to be down there again this year for special legislation to go out and purchase
foreclosed homes to set up scattered home tax increment districts.
Chairperson Commers asked how much revenue would be returned to the city after the bonds are called.
Mr. Pribyl said between $400- 450,000.
William Burns, City Manager, asked where the demonstration project would be budgeted in 2010.
Mr. Bolin said it would be out of the Housing Fund as there are excess funds in that program.
Commissioner Gabel questioned the mowing charges.
Mr. Bolin said that the charges will go down a little in 2010 because staff was mowing the Northstar
parking lot areas. He agreed that the HRA does have a lot of property to mow.
MOTION by Commissioner Gabel to approve the Preliminary 2010 Budget. Seconded by Commissioner
Meyer.
UPON VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED. UNANIMOUSLY
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
1. Home Improvement Demonstration Program
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that last month HRA authorized staff to move
forward with finding a home. Staff continues to look for a structurally sound rambler that is vacant, in a
visible location, and priced correctly. Some problems that arose are finding homes that don't have
pending offers, many homes are currently being rented or otherwise inhabited and not many available
homes are in visible locations. Staff remains optimistic that the right home will be found soon.
Chairperson Commers asked how many homes were on the foreclosure report.
William Burns, City Manager, thought there were about 120 -130 houses per year in foreclosure. The
County said one of the biggest problems is the - $8,000 first time buyer incentive and people are paying
more than what the home is worth, which is competing with the Housing Revitalization Programs.
Mr. Bolin said that a lot of the homes staff has tried to look at have a number of offers pending so it takes
months to get answers back on these offers.
Chairperson Commers asked if there were any updates with the litigation regarding East Bethel.
Mr. Bolin said that they are still waiting for the day in court and that there is not any update since
November.
Chairperson Commers asked if they County HRA made any contributions to Fridley.
Dr. Burns said that County used federal money to purchase a house in Fridley under the Neighborhood
Revitalization Program.
Mr. Bolin said that Anoka County also looked at another property earlier this week. The County is
running two programs. In one of the programs homes are purchased and demolished and the lot will
eventually be sold. The other program is a housing rehab program where homes are purchased, brought
to minimum code level and put back on the market.
Commissioner Eggert said that he has been involved in buying foreclosed homes and recalled even after
the purchase agreement it took the bank several months to close. He thought timelines for this project, to
bring to market in May, were aggressive. He asked staff to share the schedule and drop dead dates for the
project.
Mr. Bolin said that staff hoped to have the property under control in February, find a re- modeler for the
project, get the remodeling underway, look for broker realtor to staff open houses and sell the property.
Staff is ready to aggressively act on this project and would like to have this complete sometime in May.
Commissioner Eggert asked if brokers advise it is feasible to close that quickly on these types of homes.
Mr. Bolin said that staff purposely stays away from homes with several offers and HRA pays cash which
makes the transaction go faster.
2. Housing Loan Program Update
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that the remodeling advisor visits are picking up
again. In 2006 there were 33 visits, 26 in 2007, 16 in 2008 and in 2009 there were a total of 18. Total
HRA Loans were 22 in 2006, 17 in 2007, and 18 in 2008 and 2009.
Mr. Bolin said that the changes HRA made this past year in the program definitely made a difference to
increase the number of loans. Staff has been looking to see what can be done to assist people that have
fallen behind. HRA will likely never recover two of the six loans. The homes were foreclosed on but the
files were kept alive incase something comes in the future on those homes. Of the last four, three of the
people went through forbearance agreements and we are getting closer to contacting the last homeowner.
Commissioner Gabel asked what kind of agreements are being made.
Mr. Bolin said that all the circumstances are different but staff is mostly working with the terms. The
debt is not forgiven but the terms may be extended or extra payments allowed to get caught up etc.
Commissioner Gabel asked if the interest rates were compatible.
Mr. Bolin said that Fridley's rates are 1 ' /4% below other rates, around 5 %, which is competitive with
banks and credit unions for home equity homes.
Commissioner Meyer asked what types of remodeling projects were happening; it looked like
replacement of windows and doors was popular. He asked what types were being installed.
Mr. Bolin said that homeowners were looking for the tax credit on certain types of windows. The types
of improvements that are being seen are necessity items and those that improve home efficiency.
NONAGENDA UPDATE:
Northstar Rail
Chairperson Commers asked if the ridership in the rail has increased with the recent cold weather.
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said ridership did go down a bit but after the holidays.
The Police Chief has been riding in from Big Lake every day and reported there has not been any crime in
the lots or in the tunnel.
Chairperson Commers asked if there was any way to measure ridership in and out of Fridley.
Mr. Bolin said that the only way to measure would be to do a manual count. Dr. Burns has had
conversations with Medtronic and Onan and Medtronic is interested in a shuttle.
William Burns, City Manager, said that Medtronic has a strong interest on it but did not get a very good
return on the survey. Medtronic will have a meeting with Metro Transit to discuss the prospect of a
shuttle. Metro Transit did revise their bus schedules to make accommodations for people taking the
shuttle.
Gateway Northeast
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that the demolitions have occurred and the contractor
will wait until spring to complete the project. The contractor wanted to complete more this winter but
now there is too much snow. City engineering staff has been very helpful, inspecting the sewer and water
lines etc. and also helped with the specs to go out for bids.
Chairperson Commers asked about the expected timing for the project and if the project was in line for
completion this spring.
Mr. Bolin said that they wanted everything done by the beginning of December but with the snow, they
now have until 5115 to get the work done.
Commissioner Eggert asked about the large pile of black dirt on site.
Mr. Bolin said that is part of the top soil that will go down on the site. This is an interesting process and
there is never a wasted trip for the trucks. The process may be taking longer than we had hoped but there
are no recyclable pieces making it to the landfill.
Fridley Medical Clinic
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that the construction is ready to go.
Chairperson Commers asked where we are on the Columbia Arena resolution that is currently active.
Mr. Bolin said that item was tabled and Attorney Casserly stated that no action is required at this time.
Fence
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that another accident happened with the fence; a
person was at a red light and was rear ended. The car insurance company will pay to fix the fence.
Cub Foods
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that Triland and Cub were in last week going
through applications and site plans. This item will go to the Planning Commission the last week of
January.
Commissioner Eggert said that he has some experience in working with the phasing of projects, and in
phasing you have to be concerned with what condition you are leaving the land and when the work will be
done. He was concerned if buildings are not built with the remodel what the outbuildings would look like
in the interim.
Mr. Bolin said that they are trying to reuse most of the east wall of the current Cub Foods building and
the entire south wall. A new liquor store would be built on the east side, once that is moved they would
start building Cub Foods in the existing Gander Mountain. With all this in consideration, they are still
showing the west half of the building as it exists. So there are concerns about the phasing that the
Planning Department will have to work with Cub Foods on.
Dr. Burns asked if these issues would be addressed at the public hearing scheduled for February 8`"
Mr. Bolin answered yes, unless the petitioner withdraws their request.
Fridley Message Center
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that this has been installed next door and the City is
the keeper of the computer that can change the messages. This is a nice addition to the city.
Gateway Northeast
Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that yesterday Mr. Kim, owner of Tae Kwan Do,
contacted Dan Wilson to see if HRA is still interested in purchasing his property. Almost a year ago staff
was instructed not to spend any more time on this property as staff had made two offers to Mr. Kim in the
past with no reply back. Staff has told Mr. Wilson to respond to Mr. Kim on our behalf and explain that
the HRA has asked staff not to spend any more time on this. If Mr. Kim is serious to discuss selling his
property, he should draft letter to HRA with his willingness to work with HRA and bring forward some
numbers for discussion sake.
Chairperson Commers asked staff to check with the sources in Blaine to see where Mr. Kim is on the
purchase of the Blaine building.
Commissioner Gabel said that she still felt very strongly for staff not to spend any more time on this. If
Mr. Kim has something to say he can put it in writing; the land is not worth what it was two to three years
ago.
Commissioner Eggert agreed that property values have dropped because there is no demand.

M` HRA MEETING OF FEBRUARY 412010
QTY OF
FRIDLEY
Date: January 30, 2UU9
To: William Burns, City Managerj-
From: Paul Bolin, Asst. Executive HRA Director
Subject: Home Improvement Demonstration Project Update
After a lengthy search, staff has found the "right" home for the project. The HRA is set to close
on the property located at 831 Mississippi Street on Friday February 5th. The home met all of the
correct criteria for inclusion: 1) it is a vacant rambler; 2) in a visible location; 3) structurally
sound; 4) priced correctly; and 5) in need of repairs and updating that will not require excessive
investment from the HRA.
We were able to avoid the delays of trying to purchase a bank owned home by finding this vacant
estate owned home. The $134,900 asking price for the home was slightly above the HRA's
spending cap of $130,000, but through negotiation we were able to settle on a purchase price of
$127,500.
Staff has developed criteria for selecting a remodeling contractor, using a request for
qualifications format. Open houses will be held for interested remodelers to view the home prior
to submitting their letter of interest/qualifications. Staff will evaluate proposals based on the
contractor's experience with older rambler remodels, originality of updates, project budget and
timeline, and an understanding of the demonstration program's intent. A recommendation will be
brought to the Authority at their March 4th meeting.
Once selected, the selected contractor will:
❑ Develop a scope of work and a project budget for making the home meet the needs and desires
of today's homeowners.
❑ Complete the work identified and mutually agreed upon by HRA Staff. Staff anticipates that
the home will require a combination both exterior improvements (windows, doors, siding, roof,
driveway, landscaping and possibly garage) as well as interior updates (kitchens and baths,
flooring, and other minor finishing).
Staff has a similar process to retain a realtor/broker for staffing the open houses for the project
and to list and sell the home upon completion. Additionally, staff has been working on
marketing pieces to promote the program (city newsletter, cable TV, City website, etc.) and
ensure its success.

FRIDLEY HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
February 4, 2010

1. Northstar Update
Overall ridership numbers are still exceeding expectations. In a recent meeting with Metro Transit
they did commit to having a study of ridership specific to our station completed sometime later this
spring. The purpose of the recent meeting was to discuss the survey Dr. Burns had done of area
businesses to gauge the need for shuttle service within Fridley. Metro Transit is working to further
refine the data, but preliminarily there isn't enough demand for a wide ranging shuttle service at this
time.
On Tuesday night I was asked to testify before the House Transportation Finance Policy committee
on a piece of the proposed bonding bill. MN Solutions is working with DEED (formerly DTED) to
create transit improvement areas around transit stations. DEED would provide money to communities
for sidewalks, trails, and those other hard to fund improvements around transit sites. This will
initially be a loan program, but allows city's to pay the money back with future TIF revenue. Tuesday
night the Committee did approve moving the $5M funding piece onto the next round of bonding bill
discussions.
2. Gateway Northeast Update
TKD
I1 Kim, owner of the Tae Kwon Do studio has finally responded to our January 2009 offer of
$320,000. Mr. Kim has sent a letter stating he would like $425,000 to "compensate me for the loss of
business due to relocation, moving costs and business interruptions". Staff believes that $425,000 is
too much to pay for this property.
While there are some economic and aesthetic reasons to purchasing Mr. Kim's property on a
voluntary basis, his desired number is not backed by any hard data. Staff strongly believes that the
HRA should pay no more than $375,000 for the property and associated expenses. The $320,000 is
from an August 2008 appraisal, outdated but an appraisal none the less. $50,000 would be the
"business reestablishment" that statute would require the HRA to pay if they acquired through
eminent domain and $5,000 would be for actual moving expenses.
Demolition
Not surprisingly, the soil samples taken from the former Sinclair station during tank and hoist removal
found some minor contamination under the area where the hoists were located. The good news is that
there is very little contamination and that it is possible that no additional work may be required. The
following from Liesch Associates explains in better detail:
"Lab Results from samples collected beneath the USTs (B -1 through B -4) indicate the samples were "clean ".
Results from samples collected beneath the removed hydraulic hoist and waste trap indicate Diesel Range
Organics (DRO) detections. PCB (aroclor 1254) was also detected in the sample collected beneath the former
waste trap, however the level appears to be below any regulatory guideline.
It is Liesch's recommendation to report the DRO release to the Minnesota State Duty Officer to maintain
MPCA compliance. A new Leak number may be given to the site for this release. I am currently working on
finishing the Tank Excavation Report which will summarize the laboratory results and activities completed
during the recent tank, hoist excavation. Based on the soil impact levels indicated in the samples collected
during the UST Excavation, Liesch will be recommending closure if a new leak number is given. We also
recommend contacting the MPCA project manager to discuss the results and history of the site, as the site
received closure (1211812008) after a Limited Site Investigation submitted by the Javelin Group (August 2008).
The discussion would assist in determining if the information in the excavation report would be sufficient for
the MPCA to "close" the file for the newly discovered release or if the MPCA would require another Limited
Site Investigation ".
3. HRA Owned Property
Over the past two weeks, HRA & Planning Staff have had a number of discussions with Jim Faulkner
a real estate developer, builder, and architect. Mr. Faulkner and his partners are the group that has
built a handful of senior memory care facilities throughout the metro area, often under the "Comforts
of Home" name.
Mr. Faulkner has indicated an interest in purchasing 2 lots that the HRA owns near the intersection of
Old Central and East Moore Lake Drive. These 2 properties surround the Ziebart building on the
corner and would require extensive soil corrections. Mr. Faulkner has indicated that he is working on
some potential site plans and sometime soon will likely make a formal offer to purchase.
Mr. Faulkner has indicated that the 1.5 acre site north of Ziebart would be used for senior memory
care and that the 3/4 acre site west of Ziebart could be constructed for speculative retail.
4. Decorative Fence
The decorative fence has been repaired and the League of MN Cities insurance folks are close to
getting reimbursement from the driver's insurance company.
5. Cub Foods
Tri-land development group, has received the approvals from the Planning Commission needed to
redevelop the Cub Foods/Fridley Liquor store site as a Planned Unit Development. The land use
application now moves on to the City Council and Tri-land will likely have all necessary approvals in
early March. Tri-land plans to begin construction of phase 1 in June. .

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 30, 2010
TO: William W. Burns, Executive Director of HRA
FROM: Paul Bolin, Assistant HRA Director
SUBJECT: Contract Extension with CEE for Administration of Loan
Programs
Introduction
The Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) is the non -profit agency responsible for
administering the HRA's housing rehabilitation programs. The Authority has contracted
with CEE since 1996 to oversee the housing programs. Partnering with CEE, allows the
HRA to outsource most of the administrative functions, including program marketing,
loan processing, underwriting, loan closing, and disbursements to the contractors.
CEE is able to provide technical assistance to Fridley homeowners on such topics as
remodeling, energy conservation, indoor air quality and related subjects. The partnership
with CEE allows the Authority to leverage its resources with outside dollars (e.g.
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Met Council, Federal funds, etc.) and customize
loan packages to meet individual homeowners' circumstances.
The current agreement with CEE expired on December 31, 2009. Staff believes it is
important to continue working with CEE and is recommending that the HRA renew its
commitment for another year. CEE is not seeking any changes in the rate of
compensation for their services.
Overview of Existing Agreement
Attached is a copy of the proposed extension that would run through December 31, 2010.
The following section summarizes the major contract components.
Administrative Responsibilities
CEE is responsible for administering a number of different loan programs on behalf of
the Authority. Each of these programs is designed for a particular target market (e.g.
very -low income, low income, or middle - income). When CEE receives an inquiry from
an interested resident, several questions are asked in order to identify which program best
meets their needs. At that point, CEE works with the resident to complete a loan
application and collect the necessary information to evaluate their eligibility. Among the
issues that will be examined are the borrower's income, credit history and related factors.
CEE then outlines the financing options and helps the homeowner select the best terms
and conditions. In some cases a loan might be funded by the Authority, while in other
cases the loan might be funded by MHFA. Once a loan is closed, the funds are held in
escrow until the work is completed; once the job is finished CEE verifies that all permits
have been obtained and that the work has been inspected. The exception is for loans
financed through MHFA, which does not have an escrow procedure in place.
Loan Fees
CEE is paid based on each loan that is made, rather than a flat administrative charge. If
loans are originated under an MHFA program, MHFA pays CEE an origination fee
($550.00 per loan). If loans are originated under one of the Authority's programs, the
HRA pays CEE an origination fee ($550.00 per loan). This rate of compensation is the
same as the last agreement.
Comprehensive Building Analysis (Remodeling Advisor)
CEE is paid a flat fee of $130.00 per visit by the remodeling advisor. Generally, these
visits take 1.5 to 2:0 hours to complete and are done on site at the resident's home. This
rate of compensation is the same as the last agreement.
Installation Verification
CEE is paid a flat fee of $70.00 per inspection. Generally, if a building permit is required
(and the work will be inspected by the city), CEE does not charge a fee. In cases where
the work does not require a permit (e.g. carpet, painting, landscaping, fencing, etc.), CEE
staff will make an inspection to verify that the work has been completed. This rate of
compensation is the same as the last agreement.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Authority approve the amendment to the Loan Origination
Agreement with the Center for Energy and Environment through December 31, 2010.
