Approval of Expenditures MOTION by Commissioner Holm to approve the expenditures as presented. Seconded by Commissioner Gabel. Chairperson Commers asked about the administrative costs and if it was carried over to the next year. Becky Kiernan, Accountant, said that the rest of the information was listed on the back page. Commissioner Holm asked about the demolition expenses and if it included both properties. Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, answered yes. UPON VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 2. Approval of December 2, 2010 Meeting Minutes MOTION by Commissioner Gabel to approve the minutes as presented. Seconded by Commissioner Eggert. P-, UPON VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 3. Approval of Resolution Designating Official Depositories Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that annually the City and HRA designate an official bank. Wells Fargo has been the official bank for the both the City and HRA for a number of years. They are responsive, easy to work with and flexible with investment management. Staff recommends approval of the resolution designating Wells Fargo as the official depository for the Authority. MOTION by Commissioner Eggert to approve the Resolution Designating Official Depositories. Seconded by Commissioner Gabel. UPON VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 4. Approval of Proposed Transit Oriented Overlay District Zoning Text Amendment Julie Jones, Planning Manager, said that HRA owns property within proposed TOD boundaries. HRA review authority is written into proposed code, making your approval of the text important. HRA has invested much into the proposed TOD area in the past. The goal of the TOD District is to create a multi -modal connection from Northstar to commercial area on 57`h. Ms. Jones said that Fridley has a unique Transit TIF district. The goal is to create appealing pedestrian/bike connections for 1,448 housing units within half mile of the train station and connections to 50 businesses within I mile of the train station. Ms. Jones said that since December 2009 Fridley, along with Anoka County, received a SHIP grant. Anoka County selected East River Road for a corridor design study. The purpose of the TOD District is to ensure that new development supports multi -modal access in the TOD area, promote life -cycle housing by creating a place where you could live without a car, and create a " Northstar" neighborhood identity. Ms. Jones said that allowances for reduced setbacks and less parking will make the redevelopment more attractive. The TOD boundary stays within '/2 mile of train station south to the 57`h Avenue commercial area. This includes property the HRA owns on University Avenue and the entire Transit TIF District. Ms. Jones said that the proposed code is an overlay district. Developers will need to submit a plan that must meet basic design criteria, but permitted uses are subject to approval. HRA will be part of a 60 -day review. Other features of the Proposed Code include a streetscape theme that is controlled by City, a relaxation of setback/screening requirements for outdoor dining areas, weekly open -air markets allowed by a SUP and additional TA for Hyde Park. I Ms. Jones said that the Comprehensive Plan action step for permitted use the TA# 11 -03 will supersede the S -1 permitted use. The S -1 code language needs other updates to make it more like the R -1 code. 400 notices were mailed to residents and on January 19 the public hearing will be held at the Planning Commission meeting and on February 7h the public hearing will be held at the City Council meeting. Commissioner Gabel asked how the development would handle snow falls and where the parking would be when it snows. Ms. Jones said that the storm water treatment and snow storage are usually in the same place but that would be evaluated on a case by case basis. There will be no street parking but side street parking will be designated in the boulevard. Each development will have different accommodations and they will be very conscious of snow storage and parking in the Hyde Park neighborhood because that is a problem in that area. Most households have more than one vehicle so parking could be a problem. Commissioner Eggert asked how snow would be removed from the sidewalks. Ms. Jones said that staff has had a lot of discussion about snow removal. This will be a challenge in designing sidewalks and will be addressed on a case by case basis. Currently there is nothing in the code as to where to store snow or how much space should be allocated for snow storage. Many developments may have to truck off snow. Commissioner Eggert asked what would happen if residents piled snow up on the sidewalk. Ms. Jones said there are regulations in place and fines can be accessed if homeowners put snow on plowed sidewalks. Commissioner Gabel asked that the permitted and excluded items be more specific in the description. She also asked what the heaviest use was in an M2 district. Ms. Jones said industrial, manufacturing or warehousing, not outdoors. A trucking terminal would be an M3 district. Anything that would fall in the warehousing/manufacturing category would be an M2 district. Commissioner Gabel said the description needs to be a little more specific. She was concerned with the design criteria in adding a new piece of building onto an existing building and thought that may not look very good. Ms. Jones said that the new criteria would only apply to the new part of the building and the old building would be okay as is. Commissioner Gabel said that she just wanted it to look nice from the front and having new and old buildings connected may not look the best. Ms. Jones said that all of those sites are built to capacity as to what the site can contain for setbacks and parking. Commissioner Gabel asked what the maximum height was. Ms. Jones said that the restriction is in underlying building areas; except for the Hyde Park area which is 45 feet. Commissioner Gabel said that the Hyde Park zoning requirements are from the 70/80's era. That area has some wonderful opportunities and needs to be included. Good development may drive out the bad things in the area. She is looking forward to changes in that area and this will be the best thing we can do for that area. Commissioner Meyer asked how difficult it would be to change the zoning; like shopping to non - shopping. Ms. Jones said that the way the TOD is written, if a site wanted to change to a development of office /residential /shopping and restaurant they can come up with a plan and it would not have to be rezoned. The plan would have to meet the design criteria presented tonight. The plan would then have to be approved by the Planning Committee/HRA and Council. Chairperson Commers said that this gives City Council authority to approve permitted use. The plan would not be bound by any underlying zoning. Ms. Jones said it would still need to meet the design criteria of the TOD district. An example would be the Cub site, they already have a plan in place and this doesn't change that because the plan is already in place. Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, said this will eliminate the need to go through a planning unit development rezoning process. This is predicated on the master plan with setbacks built in; unless they wanted to contradict something like the 15' setback. Chairperson Commers asked if a big parcel was up for development and someone came in with a plan that is different than what we want, like Medtronic, then what do we do. Mr. Hickok said a rezoning decision would be made and Council would make that decision. This doesn't say someone can't go thru the PUD process but Council still makes the ultimate decision. Commissioner Meyer asked if the TOD took second place to the City Council. Mr. Hickok said that Council has the ultimate authority to make decisions. This provides opportunity for future development process. Chairperson Commers asked what it meant that mix use doesn't require a SUP. Ms. Jones said that in the C2 and C3 commercial zoning district, mix use is only okay with a SUP; now it will be will be considered as part of the TOD redevelopment plan. Commissioner Eggert asked if someone wanted to build a football field and is able to purchase the property and meet the design requirements if it would be turned down. Ms. Jones said that proposals are looked at based on merits and looking at the design criteria it would be difficult for a football field to meet the criteria. Keep in mind that not anything can be proposed as there are minimum requirements that have to be met. Staff is confident that the design criteria will protect the city to get viable proposals. Chairperson Commers asked what would happen if a multimillion dollar project came forward that the city supported but didn't meet the TOD requirements. Mr. Hickok said that Council would look at the underlying zoning, rezoning options are always on the table. Council and developers have the opportunity to bring nice things to Fridley. Chairperson Commers asked if the current Columbia Area project would meet the TOD requirements. Mr. Hickok said it wouldn't in regards to the lighting/landscaping and positioning on the site. If the scenario was for the reuse of the site it would be fine but may have to go back to the base zoning. Commissioner Holm asked if a current site of heavy industrial had a desire to expand operation causing more truck traffic and overnight storage if it would be restricted by the TOD. Ms. Jones said if it is restricted in zoning where they are currently, they couldn't expand in current zoning and nothing would change in that regard. Mr. Hickok said that even if they intensify and have more trucks, the 50% storage doesn't allow anything over 12' in height which would eliminate the trucks. Commissioner Holm said that he liked the idea of reduced set back potential for more intense housing closer to the sidewalks. He thought that it may look odd with different setbacks and was concerned about the transition. He asked how the development would go from where it is today to where it will be in the future. Ms. Jones said that there are exceptions for single family individual lots and thinks overtime the neighborhood could change. Commissioner Gabel asked what would happen if residential areas wanted to build closer to the street. Ms. Jones said that the allowance doesn't apply to single families' homes that would not be allowed. Mr. Hickok said that as we move closer, build garages and larger units it will have an impact on the neighborhood. Commissioner Holm asked if any preliminary comments were heard from owners. Ms. Jones said that there were a few calls today; people are confused as there is a lot going on. Commissioner Meyer asked who would maintain the boulevards and who would take care of the show removal. He said that the 15' setback will not be the answer. When you drive in northeast Minneapolis, houses are close to the sidewalk with varying degrees of disrepair and repair. The look is untidy and un -kept. This may create an unfortunate development in Fridley and create an untidy mess for our city. Chairperson Commers asked what staff was looking for tonight, if they were looking for an approval. Ms. Jones said that staff will come back with an update at the February meeting 5. Approval of Lease Extension for Sikh Society Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, said that the Sikh Society has requested a two month extension to their existing lease for 5831 University Avenue. The challenging weather has caused delays in the renovation of their new worship space in Bloomington. The Sikh Society has been a very good tenant and the extension coincides with end date of other lease. The only change to existing lease is the ending date. Staff recommends approval of a motion formally extending the lease agreement through February 28, 2011. MOTION by Commissioner Holm to approve the Lease Extension for Sikh Society. Seconded by Commissioner Meyer. UPON VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 6. Approval of Contract for Home Remodeling Demonstration Program Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, reviewed the following schedule: Pre - remodel open house: January 91h Mid - remodel open house: February 26 & 27 Finished open houses: Starting March 27th Mr. Bolin said that staff recommends approval of agreement with Lennox Builders to complete work necessary for the 1 -Level Living Home Remodeling Demonstration project as proposed Commissioner Meyer asked about the accelerated payment schedule Mr. Bolin said that there will be a 10% holdback with every payment and staff will be tracking the work as it proceeds. Commissioner Meyer asked if the 10% is a standard hold back. Mr. Bolin said that this is a different project where the Authority is functioning more like a homeowner working with a small contactor doing a remodel on a very tight budget. Commissioner Eggert thought staff is doing a great job at keeping costs down; with a budget of $60,000 there is a lot of value being added to the home. Commissioner Gabel asked if the house on Mississippi was paid on a similar schedule. Mr. Bolin answered yes. MOTION by Commissioner Eggert to approve the Contract for Home Remodeling Demonstration Program. Seconded by Commissioner Gabel. UPON VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 7. Approval of Housing Replacement Program: Phase VI Paul Bolin, HRA Executive Assistant Director, said that last month Authority approved an amended and restated plan for the HRP. Restated Housing Plan streamlines addition of Phases (homes) to the program. Homes can be added by HRA Resolution, provided the parcels meet required criteria. Once in program, Authority is able to collect increment for 15 years on improvements. Mr. Bolin said that the Phase VI Parcels are: Address PIN Lot Size Status Acquisition Cost 1 434 Liberty Street 03- 30 -24 -31 -0077 90x150 Vacant Structure $65,717 2 4757 2nd Street 26- 30 -24 -32 -0091 74x131 Vacant Structure $81,303 3 831 Mississippi St 14- 30 -24 -14 -0080 75x128 Vacant Structure $127,500 Staff recommends approval of the resolution approving Phase VI of the Housing Replacement Program. MOTION by Commissioner Gabel to approve the Housing Replacement Program Phase VI. Seconded by Commissioner Eggert.

Burns, Executive Director of HRA o 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, 2010. Staff believes it is important to continue working with CEE and is recommending that the HRA renew its commitment for another three years. 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, 2013. 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, 2013. T Amendment Four to the Loan Origination Agreement between Center for Energy & Environment and Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Fridley The Agreement dated 18th day of February, 2004 for the administration of the Comprehensive Housing Rehabilitation Program for the City of Fridley is hereby amended. Section 5 of the Agreement is amended to read as follows: 5. Term and Termination 5.1 Unless earlier terminated as provided in the following paragraphs, this Agreement shall become effective on January 1, 2004 and continue through December 31, 2013. All other sections of the contract shall remain as written in the original agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties here hereunder set their hands as of the date written below: HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT CENTER FOR ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY OF FRIDLEY Un Date By Print Name Paul Bolin, Asst Executive Director Date By A.Amla� Jenni Amendt, Chief Financial Officer Date IAN 19 2011 Federal Tax ID 41- 1647799 T:\Admin \Contracts\ACTIVE \CEE Financial Resources\Fridley \Fridley HRA Amend 4 CEE Doc # 1317.doc 1/18/2011 ACTION ITEM ri HRA MEETING OF MARCH 3, 2011 CITY of FRIDLEY Date: February 25, 2011 To: William Burns, City Manager From: Paul Bolin, Asst. Executive HRA Director Subiect• Gateway NE Blight Declaration Due to maintenance costs, potential liabilities, and the deteriorated condition of the properties purchased for the future Gateway Northeast redevelopment project, Staff is recommending the remaining 3 buildings be demolished this spring. To allow inclusion in any future potential TIF District the HRA and City Council are required to adopt a resolution declaring the properties blighted, prior to demolition. The City of Fridley's Chief Building Official has inspected the permit records and exteriors of the properties and will conduct the interior inspections on March 1 (the day after our tenants move out). The purpose of the inspections is to determine if the buildings meet the statutory definition of "substandard ". The preliminary inspections indicate that the buildings will exceed the blight threshold required by TIF Statutes, as they fail to meet a number of current codes related to fire sprinkling, HVAC, and accessibility. Staff will complete the blight analysis and, provided the properties exceed the blight threshold, will recommend the attached resolution be approved by the Authority next Thursday. The City Council will be presented a similar resolution at their March 14th meeting.

The Tax Increment Act allows for the inclusion of parcels within a redevelopment district after substandard buildings have been removed by complying with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10(d). Page 2 - Resolution No. Section 2. Findings. 2.01 The Board hereby finds that the acquisition and redevelopment of the Parcels further the goals and objectives of the Development Program. 2.02 The Board hereby finds that the Parcels are occupied by a structure or structures that are structurally substandard, as defined in the Tax Increment Act and described in the blight report on file with the City, and that the structure or structures must be demolished and removed from the Parcels. 2.03 The Board hereby finds that the Authority intends to demolish or cause to be demolished the substandard building or buildings and to prepare the Parcels for redevelopment. Section 3. Declaration of Intent. 3.01 The Board hereby declares its intent to include the Parcels within a redevelopment tax increment fmancing district and to file the request for certification of the Parcels as part of a district with the Anoka County Auditor within three years of when the Parcels were occupied by a substandard building or buildings. Section 4. Notice to County Auditor. 4.01 If the Authority establishes a tax increment financing district and includes the Parcels, then upon filing the request for the certification of the tax capacity of the Parcels as part of such district, the Authority shall notify the Anoka County Auditor that the original tax capacity of the Parcels must be adjusted as provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177, Subd. 1(f). PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS 3rd DAY OF MARCH 2011. Lawrence R. Commers, Chairman ATTEST: William W. Burns, Executive Director KM: 4850 -2222 -5922, v. 1 2 ACTION ITEM ri HRA MEETING OF MARCH 3, 2011 MY OF FRIDLEY Date: February 23, 2011 To: William Burns, Executive Director�G�� From: Paul Bolin, Asst. Executive HRA Director Subject: Gateway Northeast — Awarding of Demolition Bid Staff worked with the City's Public Works Department to carryout the formal bidding process for the remaining Gateway Northeast demolition work. Notices were placed on the City of Fridley's website and in the Construction Bulletin. The bid opening will take place at 2:00 PM on March 3, 2011. The Gateway Northeast properties to be demolished include the former Sikh Society building, the former Select Products Marketing building, and the Tae Kwan Do Center. The bid packet also includes a fourth property, the home at 434 Liberty Street that is part of the Authority's housing replacement program. Due to the complexity of 2009 changes in MPCA requirements, Liesch Associates was contracted to assist in development of the hazardous material abatement and removal portions of the bid packet. The recent MPCA changes previously mentioned include testing and removal of caulking material (due to PCB's) and a mandatory 2 day waiting period between hazardous material abatement and demolition to allow for air quality testing. Liesch Associates will oversee the hazardous materials removal and document proper disposal of all materials. After working with both Liesch Associates and the City Public Works staff on 2 other demolition projects over the past 2 years, staff is confident we have done all we can to ensure that the HRA gets the most competitive bids possible. From providing the hazardous material reports upfront and conducting pre -bid site viewings to allowing some flexibility in the timing of demolitions, we have a process that eliminates much of the guesswork on the part of the bidders, providing the HRA with the best prices possible. Staff will bring forward the winning bid at next week's Authority meeting. Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority WDY% MEMORANDUM DATE: February 24, 2011 TO: William W. Burns, Executive Director of HRA FROM: Paul Bolin, Assistant HRA Director AA'' SUBJECT: Approval of Mowing Contractor for 2011 Introduction The HRA has had a good working relationship with Complete Grounds Maintenance for the past 7 summer seasons. The rates have been relatively low and the service very reliable. In order to make certain the Authority is getting the best value in maintenance of its holdings, the HRA has again participated with the City in soliciting bids for mowing services. In addition to a number of private contractors, the City of Fridley's Park Maintenance Division was also asked to bid on the Authority properties. Recommendation As the bids will not be opened until Friday February 25th, Staff will bring forward a recommendation for a contractor at next week's meeting.

Executive HRA Director Subject: Transit Overlay Zoning District Ordinance Since the Authority reviewed the proposed ordinance in January it has become an item of controversy for some members of the community and a mass of misinformation has been spread through the Hyde Park Neighborhood. Residents have been wrongly told that the HRA is going to be buying up homes on 3rd Street to build townhomes. The Council has asked the Planning Staff to hold neighborhood meetings on March 7th to address concerns and get the correct information out to the public. Julie Jones will join us next week to provide a brief update on the Transit Overlay Zoning District. vokom FRIDLEY HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY March 3, 2011 3113 1. Home & Garden Show The 13th Annual Home & Garden Show is taking place Saturday February 26th from 9AM until 2PM at the Schwann Center in Blaine. Stop by and visit the City booth if you make it out to this year's show. I will provide an update on attendance at next week's meeting. 2. Fridley Foundations - Home Remodeling Demonstration Program We have had 2 showings of the 831 Mississippi home in the past month. After evaluating the most recent market data with Tim Van Auken, it may be time to reduce our asking price down to the $175,000 mark as we move closer to the traditional spring buying season. This weekend, February 26 & 27th, we will hold the mid -point open house at 4757 2nd Street from 11Am until 4PM both days. The home has been deconstructed and the interior stairs have been moved. Next week, Lennox will begin to refinish the home. 3. Faulkner Development The building is fully enclosed and construction is moving at a quick pace, and will likely be finished within the next month. Faulkner has indicated that he will likely move to Phase II almost immediately, as he already has a number of commitments for the Phase I building. 4. Columbia Arena The developer indicates that it is still his intention to move forward with reusing the existing building and site for senior housing. Two sources have indicated that construction is likely to start within the next 60 days. 5. Housing Replacement Program Staff continues to look for suitable homes to purchase and place into the program. The good news is that there haven't been any candidates for the program in the last month (as we haven't been seeing any horrible homes come through on the MLS). We do expect to see a number of potential candidates to hit the market as we move into the traditional spring selling season.
