M-89-737 � � u �� QATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: COAIiMUNtTY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM December 7, 1989 Nilliam Burns, City Kanager Jock Robertson, Community Development Director Barbara Dacy, Planninq Coordinator Continue Discussion on Senior Housing Policies At the July 31, 1989 meetinq, the City Council discussed various alternatives for developing senior housing policies. The City Council directed ctaff to bring back information for specific questions in three general areas: 1. The City Council had specific questions regarding the survey conducted by Health Planning and Management Inc., as well as questions regarding information from other communities that staff obtained. 2. The City Council wanted more information reqarding the current status of federal and state proqrams including the Section 8 proqram. 3. Finally, the City Council directed staff to prepare a list of financial tools and prepare an analysis matrix with costs and risks for each option. Part A. Questions Reqardinq Survey and Background Information: (1) The Citv Council re�uested an ex�l�na�tion of the use of e Columbia Heichts ZIP code for the surveys Pat McCullouqh, in a letter dated October 28, 1989, (see attached) assured us that persons in Columbia Heights vere not surveyed. The postal carrier routes with the 55421 ZIP code were obtained from the post office. The post office assisted Ms. McCu�lough in separating Columbia Heiqhts addresses from the Fridley addresses. Senior Housinq Policies December 7, 1989 Paqe 2 (2) (3) �,enior housina immediatelv. Table 2-10 in the survey summarizes the breakdown of seniors by income. Approximately 108 persons of a total of 601 persons responded "yes, definitely" that they would consider moving into senior housinq. Of the 18$ that indicated that they would consider movinq to senior housing, approximately 55$ had incomes below $15,000, 26� had moderate incomes between $15,000 - 525,000, and 19$ had incomes cver $25,000. Therefore, it can be concluded that a majority of the segment of the population desiring to move into senior housing are low and moderate income seniors. Attached is a letter from David Newman explaining the components to the assistance given to Golden Pond. It is a qood example of a project where a number of tools were combined into one development package. (4) �he City Council also rewested a statement from St. �; ,,;�,� � � ��,,,T��, a� t� �hat tvne and what amount of particular project. Don Howard, the Pastoral Counsel President, and John Brandes, the Pastor, wrote Mayor Nee on September 25, 1989 reqarding the Church's proposal for their participation in that project (see attached letter). Part B. Policy Questions for Senior Housing: (1) � e City Council requested ext�lanations of ava�lable federal senior housing oroarams and state vroarams. The federal proqrams available for senior housing are as follows: a. Section 202 Direct Loan Section 202 is a direct loan proqram for construction of elderly and handicapped households. Projects are limited to non-profit sponsors with a"proven track record". In 1989, HUD authorized Section 202 monies for up to 100 units for the entire state of Minnesota. l+�unicipalities in the metro area are cateqorized into Type A and Type B communities as to senior housinq demand. In 1989, HUD funded two projects, each 50 units larqe, and each in a Type A community. Fridley, due to the existence of Village Green, is a Type B community. Revin Wilson from Senior Housing Policies December 7, 1989 Page 3 the HUD office in �inneapolis stated that Fridley's chance to receive Section 202 assistance ranqes from �take your chances" to "don't bother". HUD also has a proqram for insuring loans for elderly projects. Revin Wilson stated that HUD is "skittish of insurinq elderly housing projects because the market is over-built". While he recoqnizes that there may be pockets where there is a demand for housinq, as in Fridley's case, HUD will prioritize projects in Type A communities. b. Community Development Block Grants Fridley recgives approximately $100,000 per year in CDBG funds. Cu�rent programminq includes acquisition of two more homes in the Riverview Heights area. Thus, two more years of CDBG funds will be necessary to clear the property. The City does participate in the CDBG House Rehabilitation proqram for low and moderate income persons, as administered by P►tioka County. c. Section 312 Homeowner Rehabilitation Pragram The 312 Rehabilitation Program provides loans to single family homeowr►ers for building improvements to meet minimum HUD desiqn standards and local building codes. A 3$, 20 year term loan is made to the homeowner, up to a maximum of $33,500. This program must be used where a CDBG housinq proqram is in place, because that program targets/specifies low and moderate income neiqhborhoods. d. State Proqrams Pat Jenkins from PIIiFA advised that the agency's elderly housinq interest rate write-down project has been inactive for the last four years. IYIIiFA has never had a proqram to subsidize rents; however, they have reduced the interest rate on a mortqage in conjunction with a Section 202 project when Section 8 certification vouchers are included in the project (i.e. Village Green). Mr. Jenkins stated that there are no funds allocated for any type of senior housinq Bubsidies, and he does not anticipate any in the next ten years. Mr. Jenkins stated that the I�iFA believes the market to be qenerally over- built despite small areas where there may be a demand. Mr. Jenkins and Jack Jackson in the I�iFA's Marketing Department reviewed our senior housing study. While they acknowledqed that a project may succeed in Fridley, due to its localized demand, they do not anticipate Senior Housinq Policies December 7, 1989 Page 4 participating in the interest rate write-down proqram for a market rate project. Steve Klein from �CCAP also confirmed the general reduction in state and federal assistance for senior housing projects. He stated that the federal contribution to senior housing has declined 70�-80$ in the last eight years. He stated that the policy direction appears to be that the federal government does not want to be a"major player" in housing policy. Mr. / Klein worked on a Section 202 Handicapped project in the early 1980's in Coon Rapids (Grasslands). Even with Section 202 monies and CDBG monies, ACCAP also needed to use a siqnificant amount of fund-raising from the local area, plus receivinq the land as a donation. Mr. Klein also stated that the policy direction for Section 202 funds is to prioritize handicapped units. (2) in the Citv of Fridlev. The Department of Housinq and Urban Development (HUD) allocates approximately 80 vouchers/certificates each year to the Metropolitan Council Housing & Redevelopment Authority (Metroi�tA). The vouchers qualify the eligible family to receive rent subsidies under the Section 8 program. Metro HRA maintains,a metro-wide waitinq list for people who have applied for rent subsidies. The Metro HRA includes approximately 93 communities, includinq the City of Fridley. At this time, the waitinq list consists of approximately 3,010 people. Of this number, 702 are from the senior population within the metro area. Within the City of Fridley, there are 187 families receiving rent assistance. There are 38 seniors currently being assisted under the Section 8 program. A majority of the seniors live at Meadow Run Apartments, Rustic Oaks Apartments, Georgetown Court Apartments, and Northeast Villa Apartments. The majority of the 80 vouchers/certificates allocated by HUD each year will be reserved for rental rehabilitation proqrams to provide assistance to tenants who may be displaced to provide assistance for low income tenants in the buildinq. These persons, in effect, Senior Housinq Policies December 7, 1989 Page 5 bypass the waitinq list. � very small percentaqe of the vouchers will be used for the waiting liet selections. The most common way a new person is selected from the waiting list is based on turnover. Turnover occurs when a family no longer requires assistance based on their income, or if they are removed €rom the rent assistance program for reasons of fraud. The maximum number of vouchers/certificates made available by turnover is 50 per month. Prior to a person receiving assistance, they are categorized as either "preference or non-preference". They are then placed on the waiting list in order of preference. Of the 50 vouchers made available each month, only a few will be qiven to the 702 seniors on the waiting list since most seniors are categorized as non- preference. Therefore, the Section 8 certificate or voucher program is not adequate to meet the housinq needs of Fridley seniors for the following reasons: (a) Seniors typically fall in the "non-preference cateqory" because they are competing with low and moderate income families. (b) There are 3,010 persons on the waiting list in the entire metropolitan area. Of this amount, 1,666 persons are categorized as non-preference. (c) The vouchers and certificates are allocated on a turnover basis. A majority of the vouchers are reserved for the rental rehabilitation proqram. The remainder will then be awarded to those in the "preference" category. The Metro area may or may not receive additional vouchers or certificates dependinq on federal legislation. (d) Large low and moderate income families which�cannot afford two and three bedroom apartments are renting one bedroom apartments. These are the units which seniors desire most, and unfortunately cannot rent. The City Council also inquired as to whether or not a resident of Villaqe Green could move to the proposed apartment project at St. William's. Based on the package that was. financed with I�iFA, the people residing in Village Green cannot take their certificate or voucher with them. Senior Housing Policies December 7, 1989 Page 6 (3) Pat McCullough advised that more seniore tend to prefer a rental situation over a condominium unit because of the followinq factors: (a) Seniors want to keep their assets liquid rather than depending on the real estate market. After seniors have sold their homes, they do not want to worry about resale of the unit. (b) Seniors do not want to burden their heirs for resale of the unit. ( 4) The City Council wantea Lo �r+ow wneLner �r _ n�+.. wc „a. � inventoried other housina sites. The survey indicated seniors' general preferences for location of senior housing. Through the comprehensive plan process, we will use this criteria in identifying potential sites for a variety of senior housing, either townhomes or apartments. Part C. Housing Policy Options (1) In order to enable seniors to stay in their single family homes as lonq as possible, the followinq options can be considered: A. Pursue participation in the Section 312 Homeowner Rehabilitation Proqram (�►CCAP would have to administer) B. Participate in the I+II�iFA Rental Rehabilitation Proqram C. Continue CDBG fundinq for human service qroups that provide services to seniors in the single family home. D. Investigate reverse mortgage program with area lenders. E. Investigate fur�ding sources for e�tpanded service programs such as chore services, meals on wheels, conqreqate dining, transportation, and home care services. Senior Housing Policies December 7, 1989 Page 7 (2) The City Cou cit wancea an anaiysis �� •� a�•.�..�-�- too�s to assist senior housina. In raviewing other cities' examples of participation in senior housing projects, we have determined that the financial tools to assist senior housing projects vary in deqree and amount of assistance. The financial tools can be broken down into two categories: �es of Assistance 1. Bonds 2. Limited Revenue Notes 3. Upfront/Direct Assistance (i.e. soil correction qrants, land write-down, etc.) Forms of Securitv 1. Development Restrictions 2. Second Mortgage 3. 4. Restrictive Covenants Equity Participation 4. Direct Purchase 5. Outriqht Ownership 6. Special Assessments These tools are usually implemented where a project is located in a tax increment district, so that the City's cost can be recouped through the taxes qenerated by the project. In order to assist a project, the City usually combines its' assistance with a form of security. In reviewing the list of types of assistance, bonds are the least financially risky, and the direct purchase option is the most risky. However, as in the case of Golden Pond, security forms can be added in order for the City to be assured that affordable units are made available for low and moderate income persons. The Golden Pond project used CDBG funds, TIF assistance, limited revenue notes, restrictive covenants, and an equity participation program (Attachment �4). Rents start at S427•00, the lowest for a market rate project in the surroundinq area. The last unit tras rented the Senior Housing Policies December 7, 1989 Page 8 day it received a certificate of occupancy. Brightondale, which is also located in New Briqhton, has been operatinq one year longer and is still not at full occupancy. Restrictive covenants were recorded to ensure that the project would rent to persons over age 55. Further, the city recouped its' S191,000 in TIF assistance from taxes qenerated by the project. We have found in reviewing other senior projects that in order to provide housing units with rents which are affordable by low and moderate income persons, the amount of assistance may constitute up to 25$ of the project. HUD, I�iFA, and ACCAP all aqree that the days of the federal qovernment providinq low and moderate income housing are over. They also aqree that the private market cannot sustain construction of low and moderate income units in today's market, given chanqes in tax laws and mortgaqe rate financing. Therefore, more assistance will ensure that more low and moderate income units will be available. However, more participation may mean more risk, depending on the type of assistance given and the security. Assisting elderly projects within tax increment districts offers the advantage of the City recouping its cost from the taxes generated from the project. A second mortgage, which has been used extensively with commercial and industrial properties in Fridley, can also be used to ensure that the City's loan is paid back. The City also receives the taxes qenerated from the project. Development restrictions and restrictive covenants may be placed on the project to ensure that the project remains as an elderly project. Upfront and/or direct assistance, and even a second mortqaqe may be compromised by the fact that the project may fail in the future. However, this is the same risk that the City encounters when assisting any commercial or industrial project. At the extreme end of the scale, the City could purchase an existinq elderly project, own and manage it, or develop its own project. While this has a high risk financially, it also ensures that low and moderate income units are available.

The proposed solutions can be "mixed and matched" so that a balanced approach is taken toward meeting the housing needs of seniors. Also attached is a list of proqrams/activities which do and do not include financial involvement (Attachment #10). � Senior Housing Policies December 7, 1989 Page 10 �ZTACHMENTS: 1.

Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Barbara: I am writing in response to your memo of October 17, 1989 in which you inquired about the amount of assistance that the City of New Brighton gave to the Golden Pond Senior Housing Project. Golden Pond is a combination low income housing project and senior housing project. The City of New Brighton issued tax exempt housing bonds. In order to do so the developer has agreed that at all times at least 40$ of the residents will have an income no greater than 60$ of the area median income. Additionally, the developer has agreed that regardless of income the residents in this development will be 55 years of age or older. It has been well over a year since I worked on this project so my recollection of the details is somewhat vague. However, in reviewing the Development Contract with the City of New Brighton it is my recollection that the City provided the following assistance: 1. CDBG Funds of $320,000, and 2. Additional City funds of $191,000. This results in City assistance of $511,000. This money was to be used for land acquisition and site improvement costs. These funds were to be provided at the commencement of construction. In addition the City is issued a limited revenue note. This note is for a 10 year period and has semi-annual installments of $45,000. In essence this note is structured so that on a semi-annual basis a certain amount of the taxes paid is retained by the City as a means of zeimbursing tbemselves for the $191,000 paid pursuant to paragraph 2 above. The balance of each installment of taxes is then pledged to pay the semi-annual installment on the limited revenue note in an amount up to $45,000 � per installment. The bottom line is that assuming that there are sufficient annual taxes then the developer will receive $90,0000 per year for 10 years. Attachment 4 Suite 20�, 6401 Universit}• Avenue N.E., Fridle�•. I�4innesota 55432. 612-571-3850 Barbara Dacy October 18, 1989 Page Two Finally, there is a provision in this agreement for equity participation by the City. This participation is evidenced by a note in the principal amount of $125,000 bearing interest at 8$ per annum. However, this note only becomes due at which time that the project no longer qualifies as a low income housing project. Further, when the note comes due regardless of the amount of accrued interest the amount owing cannot exceed 25$ of the "Net Sale Proceeds". This is further reduced by the fact that "Net Sale Proceeds" is calculated after first providing to the developer an annual 10$ per annum return on his equity. Consequently, while this is referred to as an equity participation provision its true intent was to address the event if the developer were to subsequently decide that the project was worth substantially more servicing the open market rather than low income individuals. In such an event then t'he City would participate in a portion of this windfall. In summary it is somewhat difficult to calculate the value of the benefit provided by the City in this development. (Using an 8$ present value and assuming that all payments are made under the limited revenue note this would have a present value of approximately $610,000.) However, you can see why I have estimated that the total amount of assistance given by the City was approximately 1,100,000. The total estimated cost of this project was approximately $4,440,000. Thus, while the information I have received to date indicates that this project is very successful it also needs to be remembered that the assistance provided by the City is nearly 25$ of the cost of the project. If you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. ncerel yours, � ,; , �� 1 �.• �� David P.

Households can select better, more oosdy housuig and pay the additional expcnse themselves, or choose to live in less costly, standard bausin8 and use the "savmgs" for non-bousing expenses. Analysis of The Frxperimental Housing Allowance Program (��) found that households who had received vouchers used the additional money for non-housing related spending. Through the voucher program, recipients gained an average inerease in income of 20 percent. In 1988, the National Housing Task Force estimated that housing vouchers would initially cost �1,500 per household each year. Tbe Congrassiona] Budget Office estimated that per household costs would be closer to 53,600 annually To provide the housing aid necessary to serve the 15 million households would require a federal commitment of 22S to 42S billion (1983) dollars. If rents increased at 5 percent annually, by 1999, the oommitinent would be doubled. Note: In comparison, annual subsedies for publcc housing ►vere esti�sa�ed ot a2,400, nea' Section 8�nits averaged $3,448 per unit and eristut8 Section 8 was a2,200 (u���R�,rnstc in the Llnited Stat� ). Until recently, poliry debates on housing assistance programs have almost uniformly ignored the shelter allowances provided through the welfare system and administered by the Department of Health and Human Serv�ces(HHS). Althou�h perceived as an income main�enance program, public assistance administered by HHS in oon�unction with the states provides approximately Sl0 billion annually in c�sh assistance to low mcome households to cover shelter costs. (Qual�ty and unit size are not regulated). Under welfare, there is enormous variation in housing subsidies among the three major programs, within the programs, and across the country. As a general rule, in aU programs, housing subsidies are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For example, in 1983 there were 2.8 million renters on welfare who received no housing allowance, and 13 million households that received shelter benefits through both the welfare programs and also through housing certificates or vouchers; thus receiving double benefits at the expense of other low income households.

The Community evelopment Block Grant Program (CBDG) was also desi8ned to use public dollars to leve e pnvate investment in addressing neighborhood disim+estment and decline. The Nixon Ad ' tration had hoped to create a"mimmal svings attached" program. 1"he Democratic-control Congress, however, required that azry expenditure of funds meet specified federal object es, and that administrativc regulations be followed. Title 1 of the 1974 Act e'tled larger cities and urban counties to funding allocated on a statutory basis. Three years 1 r, Small City participation was formaliud, and funded at 20 percent of the annual appropria . Until 1981, small cities submitted applications to HUD for competitive awarding of funds, th Congress made a fundamental change in the program. Under the Reagan Administration's "New Feckralism" efforts, administraUOn of the Small Cities portion of the block grant pro was devolved to the States. Minnesota has been administeruig the program since 1983. Although there is considerable local determin 'on, HUD has promulgated an extensive array of regulations �overning the award aad use of G funds. Other pertinent rules and policies are contained m HUD, Treasury Department, Offi of Management and Budget, Department of Labor, etc., handbooks, transmittals, notioes, lette and other written documents. In order to receive CDBG funds, local governments must assu full rasponsibility for administering the various elements of their rehabilitation �rograms, assure that program requirements will be fully me� While e�titlement vommuniUes and coun s(those SMSA's with populations in excess of 50,000) ha�ce been able to create administrative u and develop local capac�ty due to the on-going natwe of direct federal funding, small cities w'ch must annually compete for funding, are not �s able to develop the sophistication of their rban counterparts.

As you are avare, the Churcfi of St. Willia� has a long and sustained interest in helping to provide Aousing for lov and �oderate income seniors in our Fridley com- eunity. ?he church has negotiated with the non-profit developer--Community Deve- lopment Corporation--and its �anagesent co�pany--Hestainister Corporation--to develop and manage a 70 unit sparteent building for seniors. ?he project vould be built on land generally located east of St. Yilliam's Church abutting Fifth Street N.E. ?he church vill sell sbout 2.S acres of land to the Community Deve- lopment Corporaton contingent upon building the Norvood Square senior Aousing project. In addi�•�on� the church has committed to contribute S60,000 of the pro- ceeds from the sale of the land to subsidize five units a year for ten years at S100. a unit. The Pastoral Council is vell avarF of youz deliberated and organiaed approach to determine the need for low and �oderate inco�e housing for seniors in the Fridley area and to detersin� th� level of financial assistance thst the city can provide. The Pastoral Council concurs vith this approach. Ye are also avare that the staff from the Community Developeent Corporation and the city planning departoent have �orked �ell together to help define the issues and the financial needs of projects like Norvood Square. In sddition. ve are aware that your consultant has completed a market study thac identifies the housing needs and preferences of Fridley area seniors. and that the City Cou�cil is no� studying the best ways to meet those needs. � In regard, che Pascoral Council dr�es yon to autlwrise the IiAA and other city offices to negotiste the CDC on a basis that vill provide substantial financial assistance to Norwood Square Seaior Housiaa Psoject. We believe such assistance is varranted because: - 2he church's initial survey of its �e�bers, the professional sarket study co�pleted by Co�munity Develop�ent Corporation and the professional sarkec study completed by tbe consultant for Pridley all indicate a need for at least the nusber of senior housing unity proposed at Norv�ood Square. Theze is a pent up demand for additional housing units. ���+�r�A.( • Attachment 6 - 2 - It is iaportant to provide a full continuw of life cycle housing options foz seniors vithin t�e Fridley area. includina lov to �oderate incose rencal apart�ents.

In addition. the unagement company is coamitted to organize and maintain a ComIDUnity Advisory Council that will reflect both the vievs of the residents as vell as the broader Fridley coounity when vorking wich the management company. - This project vould be located on a site fairly central to the Fridley Commu- nity and convenient to other support services needed and used by seniors in the community.

In addition, further delay aay jeopardise a■id-1990 ground breaking and in �eeting the pent up deaand in tAe Fridley co�unity.

It vould also permit other potential funders to �ake their decisions in a timely manner. Ye thank you for your consideration of this request. Ye understand the dffficul� and complex nature of the debate regarding the best vays to �eet the needs of our sroving elderly population. Ye fitsly believe that this project is sn important totponent of a coordinated senior prograa, adds to the ability of seniors to re�ain independent and a vital part of the Fridley co�unity. snd is consistent vith tAe mission of the cAutch in serving the needs of our cosaunity.

Fridley, MN 55432 RE: Potential financi�l assistance for housing for seniora Dear Barb: . �tt,e�.�„ August 25, 1989 This letter is a fo11oW-up to last month's City Council conference meet- ing on housing for seniors. I thought it might be helpful to offer a perspective on the relative ease (financially) of housing Qroduction efforts that took place a fev years ago coopared to the financial struggles auch efforts entail today. During the heyday of housing development (the mid to la te '70s), the Federal government provided key financial tools to apur the production of multifamily housing. The aajor Federal tools vere the Section 8 rental aubsidy program of the Department of Housiag and Urban Develop- ment ("HUD") aad the loa-interest mortgsge loan programs of the Govern- ment Na tional Mortgage Associa tion ("GNMA"). Initially, Section 8 vas primarily a production program intended to apur the provision of houaing for lo�rer-income people. HUD and the developer vould agree to a achedule of rents for the project. IInlesa the project cost less, the rents vere usually aet at HUD's "Fair Market Rents" -- the rents typically charged at coeparable, nevly-construc ted� privately- developed houaing. The ovner rould then obtain the most favorable financing he or she could find and proceed to construct the project. At that time, the benefits of Section 8 were available to all lover- income people, defiaed by HUU as people vho eara 807. or lesa of the sedian incone for the area (adjuated for family size). F•ach eligible household �ould pay 30� of adjusted income toxard rent, and tbe balance of the approved rent xas paid to the ovner by HUD. IiUD's Section 8 con- tract rith the owner enabled the owner to provide affordable housing for lover-income people, Without draining the owner'a financial resources. :ERYICES FOR rllLTIfAMILY MOUEM6 Attachment 7 Ns. Barbara Dacy August 25. 1989 Page 2 The economics of most Section 8 projects "worked" very vell. Typically, the guaranteed Sec tion 8 rents vere sufficient to support a mortgage loan that, in effect, covered 987 to 100� of project costs. In most cases, no additional source of funding Was necessaty. Except When they vere coupled with Lhe Sec tion 8 program, the GNMA lov- � interest loan programs apurred the production of housing for somewhat higher-income people� effectively taking over Where Section 8 left off. The most videly-used programs provided 40-year mortgage financing at a 7. 5% in tere s t ra te . Typica l ly, the lov in terea t ra te and long term made it poasible to provide affordable houaing for people vho earned 80ti or more of inedian iacome. Again, project economics uauelly worked well enough that additional aources of funding were not required. As you know, the days of intenae Federal involvement in housing produc- tion are noW long since over. Except for the very-limited funding under the 202 program, Section 8 is no longer a production program. Rather than providing contracts that guarantee necessary rents to owaers, Sec- tion 8 vouchers and certificates travel with the resident -- and the rent levels they cover are iatentionally aet by HUD at a level that is substantially below the new conatruction "Fair Market Rents". Even the 202 program ao longer serves all loWer-income people. Several years ago, HUD revamped the Section 8 requirements under its 202 pro- grac�. Rather than serving people With incomes at or below 80% of inedian income, the program ia now effectively restricted to serving "very low- income people", people With iacomes at or beloa 50'G of inedian income. With thst one major chaage nlone, HUD made it imposaible for the bulk of the private market to serve the "upper lover-income narket" (people Who earn between SOX and 80x of inedisn income) -- without subatantial finan- cial assistance from other sources. A large gap was created between the income levels of people served by the Section 6 program and the income levels necessary to afford "narket-rate" (non-Section 8) houaing. Compounding the gap vas the government's abandonment of its loW-interest mortgage loan programa. The long-ter�, lov-interest loans throngh GNlfA vere discontinued, leaving developers to face aignificantly higher bor- roving costs and shorter loan terms. In turn, those higher coats and sborter term� further widened the gap between the income levels of people served by Section 8 aad the incomes required W afford the marke t- ra te ren ts a t new deve lopmen ts . Usually vithout outaide financial assistance, private induatry has taken care of people at the upper end of the senior bousing market, people who demand (and can afford) fairly luxurious housing. In fact, houaing foY this part of the senior �arket has been overbuilt in the TWin Cities lta. Barbara Dacy August 25, 1989 Page 3 Metropolitan Area. Almoat all of the senior housing nov "troubled" offer intense servicea (such aa houaekeeping) and require very high rents, aost starting a t about $700 a month for an efficiency (no bedroom) unit. The part of the senior houaing market that has not been served well are the people Whose incomes fall in the gap. They are people Whose modest incomes lie between 509: of inedian income and the amount necessary to afford today's rents at market-rate housing for seniors. This is the part of the aenior market that developments auch as NorWOOd Square are intended to aerve. Aa your survey of surrouading communities indicated� the development of such housing requires aubstantial finan- cial assistance to make the housing affordable for its intended market; and a wide arrey of toola have been used to provide needed asaistance. Given the mood in Washington today, it is unlikely that the Federal government will renew its former interest in housing production� at least for the foreseeable future. As has been the case for the laat fev years, affordable houaing for people Kith reatricted incomes is likely. to be produced only vhere local initiativea are provided. Barb, I very much appreciated the opportuaity to discuss informally the development of housing for aeniors� both with the City Council at its conference meeting and in meetings with you and Jock. I vould be happy to continue those conversations. Please call me at 825-9I11 if you have questions or comments or if I can help facilitate the City's decision- making proceas.

Burns, City Manager "� � December 7, 1989 SIIBJECT: 1990 Goal Setting Retreat Once again, I am suggesting to Council that we hold a goal setting retreat to plan our future priorities for 1990 and 1991. To fulfill this aim, I have spoken to Lyle Sumek, and have tentatively identified February 9, 10, and 11, 1990, as dates for the proposed retreat. I have also asked Bill Hunt to begin talking to conference facility managers to determine where we might qet the best price and service for our money. As we do these things, it is important that I understand Council's intentions. At Monday night's meeting, I would like to ask you to let me know your intentions. Do you want to have a goal setting retreat in 1990, or would you rather not do it this year? If the answer is ��yes,�� I would propose that the department managers meet on February 9, 1990, and that Council and I meet with Lyle Sumek on February 10 and 11, as we did last year. The purpose of the retreat will be to review the priorities that we set up last year, and to assess progress that has been made toward accomplishment of those priorities. I think we would also be interested in revising our priorities and perhaps expanding the horizon of our priority setting process. We may want to look at a multi-year approach, or to widen our perspective to regional as well as local issues. The LRT issue, the County dispatching issue, the solid waste disposal issue, and the State fiscal disparities program might all be issues that we may want to discuss. Obviously, I feel very strongly that the retreat is worthwhile. Although it did cost us about $8,500 in 1989, the money was well worth it. My reasons for wanting to have a retreat include my belief that it is important for Council to work out a sense of their own priorities and direction. It is also important for staff to get a sense of Council's priorities as they proceed to develop departmental goals and objectives, Capital Improvements recommendations, and budget recommendations for the coming year. Honorable Mayor and City Council December 7, 1989 Page Two In this respect, it is a qood tool for promoting sound staff/council relations. It is a communications tool that helps us to understand each other and to proceed in a more predictable manner than we might ordinarily proceed. It is also a good tool for improving public relations. It helps both council and staff inembers to communicate clearly the City's priorities, and to show publicly a sense of direction. Additionally, I think that it helps us to improve our responses to citizen inquiries. iiaving done the planning that we have done, it helps us to identify where we are on any particular issue, and when we plan to address that issue. It also helps us to build credibility. As we plan and accomplish our goals, we all feel a heightened sense of self-confidence, and prove to the people that we are capable of following up on our visions. With those lofty ideals, I would propose once again that you support the goal setting retreat. I realize that it is a time commitment on everyone's part; however, I do believe that for the reasons stated above, it is well worth the effort. Thank you for considering my request. WWB:rsc
