Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of April 6, 2017 2 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON PRO TEM GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 4. Public Hearing & Approval of Land Transfer—7011 University Avenue MOTION by Commissioner Eggert to open the Public Hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Holm. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON PRO TEM GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:04 P.M. Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, stated that as the redevelopment of the former Columbia Arena site continues to move forward on two different fronts, the new City Hall and the surrounding private development, the HRA is an active partner in both projects. The Authority currently owns the land that the new City Hall will be built on, and the City currently owns the land that will accommodate the private development. Mr. Bolin said that to create the lots and legal descriptions to facilitate the new construction and allow future transfer of lands, the City is undertaking a re-plat of the entire site. The new plat will carve out the lots needed for City Hall, the storm water pond amenity, the proposed parkway and the areas for private development. To simplify the platting, staff recommends the Authority transfer title of the Columbia Arena parcel to the City. The new plat will then allow the City to transfer Outlot's A, C & F to the Authority for redevelopment. Mr. Bolin noted that the City's bond advisors have stated that the bond proceeds can only be spent on City owned land. To facilitate breaking ground in May, the City must have title to the former Columbia Arena parcel. The City Council is scheduled to act on April 24th to formally accept the property. Staff recommends that the Authority approve the attached resolution authorizing transfer of the parcel to the City. Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel asked what this would change regarding the money that is owed. Jim Casserly, Development Consultant, replied that this doesn't address any of the money that has been obtained from the City for the original acquisition. Several issues need to be addressed as to how the costs will be shared and what amounts can be used to develop these sites. Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel said that this will be part of the decision-making process for the land that will be developed. Mr. Casserly replied that they will look at what kind of increment can be generated for this type of development and how this development will work for the City and the Authority. Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel asked if the money will be considered when that is done. Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of April 6, 2017 3 Mr. Casserly replied yes, resolutions are in place but there isn't enough information to talk about those issues right now. This is a mechanical problem; the land is being transferred to the City and they will transfer it back to the Authority at a future date. Commissioner Holm summarized that the Authority is transferring this property to the City, the City accepts it late this month and the City works with the County to plat the property so that after that is done the City will send it back to the Authority so the property can be developed. Commissioner Eggert asked if this would be able to get done on time. Mr. Bolin replied that discussions have already started with the County back in February. They seem to understand exactly what the City needs to get this done. When the City acts on this plat toward the end of May they will clean up some easement issues, take it to the County and the County will sign off on it. It can take several months sometimes to get plats through. This should be able to be completed by the end of May. MOTION by Commissioner Holm to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Mulroonery. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON PRO TEM GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:15 P.M. MOTION by Commissioner Eggert to approve the Resolution regarding the Transfer o_f HRA Property to the City of Fridley. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON PRO TEM GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Informational Items: 1. Housing Programs Update Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, reported that there was one loan in March making one year-to-date. There have been 17 Home Energy Squad Visits year-to-date. There are some changes at CEE and they are combining with another group. Ashley Robertson will work with the Authority to market all our programs. A press release will get the word out on these programs. The City is working on putting together a new resident packet that has never been done before. This packet will have all the loan program information in it. Over the next month staff will try to meet with local realtors to be a resource for people moving into Fridley. Commissioner Eggert asked how they would identify the new home owners. Mr. Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, replied that the easiest way is through the water bill. Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of April 6, 2017 4 Commissioner Eggert asked for summary information on transactions for last year, he is interested in hearing about the turnover of homes in Fridley. Mr. Bolin did not have that information but he would send it out to the Authority. There isn"t a lot of inventory for housing in Fridley. Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel noted that people are staying put and not moving. Fridley offers reasonably affordable housing and several services are available in the community. Adiournment: MOTION by Commissioner Eggert to adjourn. Seconded by Commissioner Mulrooney.

Executive HRA Director Jaquel Nissen, HRA Intern Subject: Fridley Job Fair Recap As Staff spent time getting to know Fridley businesses, through retention and expansion visits, we heard that labor was in short supply. The manufacturing industries were having trouble finding good applicants. To help address this problem, we partnered with the Anoka County Workforce Center and MN DEED to hold the City's second annual job fair on April 18th at the Fridley Community Center. A total of 18 Fridley businesses had hiring representatives at the Job Fair. Additionally, the City and Municipal Liquor Store had a booth and spoke with a number of potential candidates for positions currently open. Over the 3 hours of the show, more than 90 job seekers came in to visit with Fridley employers. The employers were ecstatic over the number and quality of the job seekers they were able to meet with. Four employers were repeats from the previous year: EJ Ajax, Voigts Busing, Metropolitan Transportation, and A-Abco Auto Parts. Some of these employers would like to make this an annual event. � � �� - 4 om* ��\ � ` i\ i� Fridley HRA Housing Program Summary Cover Page May 4, 2017 HRA Meeting Report Description Loan Summary Report Loan application activity (e.g. mailed out, in process, closed loans) for year- to-date.
