4.Approval of 2015 Mowing Contract
Paul Bolin,
HRA Assistant Executive Director, noted that the Authority owns a number of
parcels across town in residential neighborhoods and has to maintain the properties like any
other property owner. Last year the Authority paid $1,050 for each mowing cycle. Because
some of the properties have been sold, the price has dropped to $750 per mowing cycle.
Passau Inc. has been our mowing contractor since 2011. A formal bidding process was done
in 2013 and Passau Land Care ended up being the lowest bidder. A contract has been in
place since 2013 and allows for extensions of the contract if both parties agree. Passau Land
care will keep the same rates they have had since 2013. Staff recommends extending the
mowing contract with Passau Inc. for the 2015 season. They are very reliable and flexible,
have good prices and do a good job.

by Commissioner Eggert to approve the 2015 Mowing Contract with Passau
Lawn Care Inc. Seconded by Commissioner Backlund.

nd
5.Approval of Resolution Authorizing Transfer of Property 6000 2 Street
Paul Bolin,
HRA Assistant Executive Director, reviewed that in 2012 the Authority agreed
nd
to sell the parcel of land located at 6000 2 Street to Anoka County Community Action
Program (ACCAP) to provide land to redevelop the property adjacent to this lot. ACCAP is
a nonprofit group that was formed in 1965 under the Federal Economic Opportunity Act to
help disadvantaged individuals in Anoka County. ACCAP also runs the Head Start program
in Anoka County.
Mr. Bolin
stated that this site is located a block east of the rail station and three blocks from
Cub Foods. It is a great location for ACCAP tenants. This lot is not a buildable lot per city
code. ACCAP will combine this parcel with the existing property, demolish the existing 4
unit building and replace with a 13 unit building. The building will hold a combination of 1-
3 bedroom units and there will be a manager living onsite.
Mr. Bolin
said that in 2012 ACCAP executed an alleyway vacation with the city and also
went through the master plan approval because the property is in the transit development
district. As this project moved forward ACCAP the funding needed to build the
City of Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Meeting of March 5, 2015 3
project. ACCAP is making other applications through the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency for additional funding. ACCAP is looking for different ways to provide local match
to increase their chances of funding from MHFA. donation of this property
would be an adequate match. Staff recommends approval of the resolution found in the
. The resolution will amend the 2012 resolution, previously approved, and
transfer the property to ACCAP to use as their local match. The transfer will not take place
until all the other funding sources are lined up.
Jeff Johnson
, ACCAP, noted that these types of applications for funding are complicated
and expensive. ACCAP has another proposal going on and will bundle them both together.
Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel
asked if the lot is considered a significant investment.
Mr. Johnson
said that they will get a new appraisal for the lot and the value of the lot will
definitely help make their funding application more competitive.
Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel
asked if they think the grant will get funded to build this
property.
Mr. Johnson
replied that not all MHFA applications get funded and it is a very competitive
process. Sometimes it takes more than one try to get funded. They are hopeful this will
work.
Commissioner Backlund
noted that the assessed values run behind the actual values so the
new appraisal will probably be higher.
Mr. Johnson
agreed and noted that the appraisal will probably not be done until 2016 so the
amount should be close to $40,000.
Commissioner Backlund
asked ACCAP to send the Authority a copy of the appraisal.
Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel
asked if the Authority would have to mow this property.
Mr. Bolin
replied that ACCAP would maintain this property.
Commissioner Eggert
asked if there were site plan changes from the neighborhood meeting.
Mr. Bolin
replied that the plan shown tonight was developed based on input from
neighborhood meetings. The master plan has been approved by City Council.
Mr. Johnson
stated that the rent will range from $600 for a 1 bedroom to $850 for a 3
bedroom and qualifications are based on income.
Commissioner Eggert
stated that the capacity of rental units will be increased.
City of Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Meeting of March 5, 2015 4
Mr. Johnson
replied that is correct, the capacity is increasing from a 4-plex to a 13 unit
building or 12 units plus one rent free for the onsite manager.
CommissionerHolm
asked if there were any changes to the building from the one shown in
the presentation.
Mr. Johnson
replied that there are no changes.
CommissionerHolm
asked if the setbacks were satisfied.
Mr. Bolin
replied yes, it has all been approved by Council.
CommissionerHolm
said that it will be a nice addition to the neighborhood.
Mr. Johnson
said that completion will be in 2 to 2 ½ years.

Informational Items
6.Housing Loan Program
Paul Bolin,
HRA Assistant Executive Director, reported that there were no loans closed yet
this year but there are two in process. There were also no remodel advisor visits but some
will be generated from the Home and Garden Show. The Home Energy Squad visits are still
very popular; there have been 13 year to date.
Mr. Bolin
reported that the Home and Garden Show had fewer venders participating but the
attendance at the city booth was busier than in the past. The vendors all had good response
from contacts made at the show. Moving forward

ACTION ITEM
HRA MEETING OF MAY 7, 2015
Date: April 29, 2015
To: Wally Wysopal, City Manager
From: Paul Bolin, Asst. Executive HRA Director
Subject: Housing Replacement Program - Phase XII Creation_________________
Attached for Authority consideration is a resolution approving Phase XII of the Housing
Replacement Program's (HRP) scattered site tax increment-financing district. In late
2010, the Authority and the Council approved an amended and restated plan for the
HRP. The restated plan gave the Authority the ability to add Phases (parcels) to the
program by resolution.
Once a parcel is included in the district, the HRA collects tax increment for a period of
15 years. The increment is used to help cover some of the costs of the program (ie.
acquisition, demolition, property maintenance, etc.). Unlike a traditional tax increment
district, the HRP is less cumbersome to administer.
Since the program originally began in 1995, the City has approved eleven phases for a
total of 37 properties. Under special legislation approved in April 2010, the City can
designate up to 100 total parcels, inclusive of the 37 properties already in the program.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Authority approve the attached resolution amending the
Housing Replacement Program to include Phase XII, adding the property at 581 Ironton
Street into the HRP.
