The Public Improvement Hearing was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by
Mayor Sturdevant.
1. ROLL CALL
Jolly, Nawrocki, Ruettimann, Peter:son, Sturdevant - present
PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION BY STAFF
a. Steet Sealcoating in Southwest Quadrant
The City Manager gave a brief history of the City's policy
regarding street sealcoating. There are 1,873 privately owned
parcels, 22 city owned parcels and 3 tax forfeit parcels
included in this project.
Engineering and administrative costs are not being included in
the assessment at the direction of the City Council. These
costs are being paid from the City's General Fund.
The Public Works Director reviewed the project. He noted that
the University Avenue service road is being included in the
project. He also noted that the costs being presented are
estimates only.
The estimates for this project are higher than the costs of
the sealcoat project last year as this project is dealing with
older streets and significant surface repair. There is a one
year contractor's guarantee on labor and materials. The City
crews do the patching work.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired if the problems of vibration
of heavy vehicles and buses on the University Avenue service
road would be alleviated with this sealcoating.
The Public Works Director advised that a skin patch has been
done on this stretch of roadway. He also feels the base is
problem free and there is no indication of a soft sub-base. He
believes the vibration problems will be cease with the
sealcoating.
A resident inquired if state aid funds can only be used for
state aid designated streets. The Public Works Director
responded this is the case and he explained the requirements
of a state aid street.
A one year levy is being recommended with a 9 1/2% interest
rate added to the unpaid balance.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING
MARCH 21, 1994
PAGE 2
Councilmember Nawrocki advised that the interest rate is based
on what was paid for bond money whch supports the PIR Fund. He
questioned the high percentage of 9 1/2%.
The City Manager suggested the appropriate time for the
Council to set the interest rate would be at the levy hearing
in the Fall. He felt the interest would probably be in the 5%
to 6% range. He will prepare a recommendation for a proposed
interest rate for presentation at the levy hearing.
Councilmember Nawrocki requested staff to make a report to the
Council on any information Gotten regarding interest rates on
unpaid assessments. He felt this was information property
owners should have as this will be part of their costs.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Ruettimann to authorize staff to
proceed with Project #9103, sealcoating of streets in the
southwest quadrant, with the understanding that the interest
rate will be reviewed on unpaid assessments. Roll call: All
ayes
b. Erosion Control on East Bank of LaBelle Park
This proposed project affects fourteen properties. Staff is
recommending that all fourteen properties be assessed equally.
The alternative method of assessment could be on a footage
basis. Administrative and engineering charges have been
recommended for inclusion in this project assessment costs.
The Public Works Director reviewed the proposed project. It
focuses on erosion control on the east bank of LaBelle Park
from 1207 to 1337 Circle Terrace Boulevard. He noted it will
include a mat being installed on the bank slope which is to
stay in place until the turf has been established.
The Minnesota National Guard was contacted regarding its
participation in this project. The work assigned to members of
the National Guard would include clearing the area and
removing existing retaining walls. 'The participation of the
National Guard would reduce the project costs by about
$81,281.00.
The City has also received commitments for grants from the
Anoka Soil and Water Conservation District for 1992 and 1993
of approximately $30,000 each.
If work on this project has not commenced by July 1, 1994, the
1992 grant will be lost.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING
MARCH 21, 1994
PAGE 3
The resident at 1251 Circle Terrace is of the opinion that his
property is not experiencing any soil erosion. He feels
property owners should not be assessed for what he views as a
park project.
A former resident of Circle Terrace advised she chose not to
purchase a home on that street because of soil erosion. She
feels the erosion is a direct consequence of a change in
drainage which resulted when a garage was built in 1988. She
also noted this owner placed debris behind the garage
structure and the composition of that debris added to the
problem.
Councilmember Nawrocki was of the opinion that if the
development had not occurred there would be no erosion. He
observed that some properties have been maintained and some
have not.
Discussion continued regarding the effectiveness of the
proposed solutions using a mat. It: was felt that youngsters
who live or come to the park may negate its effectiveness
relatively quickly. It was suggested that fencing be installed
both at the bottom and at the top of the slope to deter
youthful activity.
Councilmember Nawrocki acknowledged that there are no
guarantees that the mat will work but it is the most cost
effective way to control the problem and the erosion. He
inquired if staff felt fencing could be a solution for
detering activity. The Public Works Director responded it
could and recommended that two fences be installed.
Councilmember Nawrocki noted it had been suggested that the
properties at 1343, 1349 and 1355 Circle Terrace be included
in the project. He inquired if the public hearing could be
extended to include these three properties and still meet the
deadlines for grant eligibility. The Public Works Director
advised this could be done.
Counci]member Nawrocki stated he could support proceeding with
the project if the assessable costs do not include any
engineering costs and each parcel assessment did not exceed
$3,000 not including interest.
It was noted that since easements are needed for this project
the easement costs will have to be added to the project.

MARCH 21, 1994

Motion by Ruettimann, second by Jolly to authorize staff to

NO: 6 Building Inspections APPROVAL
ITEM: Condemnation BY: Evelyn Nygaard~_- BY:/~~
NO: 3950 N.E. 2nd Street ~ /~ , DATE: March 24, 1994
Subject property is:
A wood framed house previously used as a single family dwelling located at 3950 N.E.
2nd Street that has been vacant since February of 1993.
Found:
Hazardous/substandard Housing Maintenance Ordinance violations.
On January 21, 1993 the Fire personnel made a medical call to 3950 N.E. 2nd Street. The
person living there told the Fire Department that the property was then rental property and
had been used as rental property for some time without having a rental license. This was
verified by a neighbor, 3ames LaPlant.
The Fire Department notified the Building Department of the rental status and also noted
several problems with the structure itself. We sent notices to license the property and to
provide access for an inspection of the premises to the owner, but have not received any
reply. The buildng was posted unlicensed and the owner finally responded by setting up an
inspection for February 16, 1993.
The inspection revealed that the building was uninhabited and had serious health and safety
hazards. The owner agreed to secure the property and was to arrange for demolition of the
buildings as soon as weather permitted.
Several notices have been sent to the owner including notices of special assessments, and they
have been returned to the City.
The water was shut off to the property on April 15, 1993.
The neighbors have complained for some time about the delapidation of the structures.

ITEM: PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING HOMESTEAD BY': PAT HENTGES
CLASSIFICATION OF 3932 CENTRAL AVENUE DATE: 03/25/94
(ACCAP THEATRE HEIGHTS PROJECTS)
NO.: 6.B.
Enclosed please find a proposed resolution submitted by ACCAP that essentially affirms a finding that ACCAP has met
the test of a leasehold cooperative, under Minnesota Statutes 273.11. The finding will allow homestead classification
for the project at 3932 Central Avenue and provide for an additional $5,733.45 tax savings. The tax savings in turn
would be designated to finance additional improvements or alternatively reduced rent for seniors and disabled.
On Friday, I received the development agreements and attached exhibits from ACCAP. To this point, I have not fully
analyzed the agreement. ACCAP will be at the meeting to provide a more detailed presentation on their proposal. The
action in front of the council essentially is to confirm the findings as specified in the resolution. ACCAP has offered
an additional development agreement be executed between ACCAP and the City of Columbia Heights that further
defines their intention as it relates to the operations on the property.
In the event Council does not understand the information herein submitted or feels that it is insufficient at this time,
then it would be appropriate to take no action at the meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available to the
public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move approval of Resolution 94- ., Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Columbia Heights Granting Homestead Classification to the Property Located at 3932 Central Avenue and Authorization
to Enter into Development Contract Regarding the Same.

WHEREAS, Anoka County Community Action Program, Inc. (AC. CAP), an experienced nonprofit corporation

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, Anoka County,
Minnesota, as follows:
That the City Council for the City of Columbia Heights, after holding a public hearing to determine
whether ACCAP, the owner of an apartment building located at 3932 Central Avenue, Columbia Heights,
Minnesota, has submitted sufficient evidence regarding whether this property should receive homestead
classification under Minnesota Statutes Section 273.124, subd. 6 (j), hereby make the following findings:
O)
That the granting of the homestead treatment of the 22-unit apartment building will facilitate
safe, clean, affordable housing for the cooperative members that would otherwise not be available
absent the homestead designation for this property;
(2)
That ACCAP has presented information satisfactory to the Columbia Heights City Council
showing that the savings garnered from the homestead designation of the units will be used to
reduce the tenant's rents or provide a level of furnishing or maintenance not possible absent the
designation; and
(3)
That the requirements of paragraphs (b), (d), and (i) of Minnesota Statutes Section 273.124, subd.
6 have been met by ACCAP.

re: 3932 Central Ave (Theater Heights)
Dear Mr. Hentges
Enclosed are financial projections that reflect the alternatives I
presented to the Council. I used your real estate tax figures which I
agree with even though your tax figures reflect less of savings than I
roughly estimated. The savings generated from the leasehold cooperative
after paying the City $442.82 in lost revenue permits ACCAP to reduce
rents on average by $10 per unit and increase the scope of the
renovation $30,000. Or as certain members of the Council seemed to want
the renovation could be increased $50,000 if no further rent reduction
is passed on. ~
If the Council makes a positive factual finding we would agree to fund
a $174,000 to $194,000 (depending on the rent level alternative used)
renovation verses the $150,000 we had otherwise planned. A lot can be
done with $30,000. Especially when all the basics will be taken care of
with the funds already committed. There is never enough money in a
construction project.
(~)Additionally ACCAP would agree to sell the building to the cooperative
at our cost plus any additional capital invested to fund negative cash
flow or additional improvements less any cash withdrawn. In other
words, no escalator for inflation or appreciation. This language will
be put in the Master Lease as the Cooperative's buyout price.
d~'~We agree that language should be added to the Master Lease requiring
new residents to be seniors or disabled.
As I discussed at the meeting this project goes through regardless of
the Council's willingness to contribute by making a positive factual
finding that the tax.savings will be used to reduce rents or provide
for additional renovation.
Please give me call if you think of anything else I can provide.

ITEM: RESOLUTION AMENDING 1994 BY: WILLIAM ELRITE BY:
BUDGET FOR ENCUMBRANCES
~ ~ DATE: FEB. 16,1994
NO.: , ·
As part of the annual year-end auditing process, all open purchase orders and contracts are
reviewed for encumbrances. Encumbrances are items that were budgeted in the 1993 budget,
ordered in 1993, but will not be received until 1994. As part of the audit process, these items
are recorded on our financial records as encumbrances. In the annual financial report, the total
value of these items will be reported as a reserve to fund balance. When the items are received
and paid for, the payment will come out of the reserves from the 1993 budget. Since they were
anticipated to be ordered and received in 1993, funds were not included in the 1994 budget for
these items. The attached resolution on encumbrances increases the 1994 budget by the
appropriate amount for the year-end encumbrances.
It should be noted that this is not an increase in overall City spending, but is simply increasing
the 1994 budget for the items that were budgeted and ordered in 1993 but will not be received
until 1994.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

ITEM: RESOLUTION ON HOME PROGRAM BY: DONALD SCHNEIDER BY:~ ~, ~.
APPLICATION I DATE: J.~%RCH, 2~, 9994-
The City has been invited to apply for a grant through Anoka County for the Federal HOME
Program. Anoka County will receive an allocation of $349,718 for Fiscal Year 1994 and
cities in Anoka County have been invited to apply on a competitive basis for a portion of
the funds.
These funds may be used for eligible acquisition, rehabilitation and construction of
housing that provides permanent or transitional owner-occupied or rental housing that
services low income households. All households served directly by the program must be at
or below 80% of the median income for the metro area ($39,700 for a family of four).
The City must provide a match of 25% of the funds being requested.
The HRA staff has prepared an application for $120,000 grant through this program for the
establishment of a Sheffield Neighborhood Duplex Conversion Revolving Fund (Fund). The
initial $120,000 in the Fund will be used to renovate the three City owned duplexes at
4519-21 Taylor Street N.E., 4535-37 Taylor Street N.E., and 4531-33 Fillmore Street N.E.
into single family homes. These homes would be sold to qualifying (meeting HOME Program
requirements) families. Of the proceeds from the sale of the first home sold, $30,000
(plus the amount of HOME grant funds used for the renovation to extent in the sale) would
be deposited into this revolving fund for assisting in the purchase and renovation of
another duplex into a single family home to be sold. to another qualified family. On the
sale of the other two initial renovated homes, only the portion of the proceeds to cover
the HOME Funds used on the renovations would be placed in the Revolving Fund.
It is expected that up to 12 duplex units will be renovated to single family homes under
this program in the Sheffield Neighborhood.
Attached as Appendix "A" is Resolution 94- "Approving Application to Anoka County
for up to $120,000 of Federal "HOME" Program Funds for Housing Rehabilitation in the
Sheffield Neighborhood." Attached as Appendix "B" is information on the "HOME" Program.
Attached as Appendix "C" is the proposed Application (including the HRA Board of
Commissioners Resolution recommending City Application for the program - Page C31).
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the Resolution, there being ample copies
available for the public.

Re: 1994 HOME Program Applications
Dear Don:
Anoka County will receive $349,718 of HOME funds for Fiscal Year 1994. You are invited
to submit an application for those funds to complete an eligible housing project. Please see
the attached copy of the regulations fo~ details on eligible projects and othe, program
requirements.
Please keep the following in mind as you consider applying for these funds:
Eligible Projects
Acquisition. rehabilitation, and construction that provides permanent or transitional
owner-occupied or rental housing that serves Iow income households. Limited tenant
assistance is also available. Any single family rehabilitation should target
neighborhoods. Any requests for general city-wide housing rehabilitation wdl have Iow
priority.
Income Limits
All households served must be at or below 80 percent of the mean income in the
Minneapolis-St. Paul Area ($39,700 for a family of fou,-) and further, 90 percent of
the recipient households must have incomes at oi below 60 percent of median
($29,775 for a household of four).
Matching Requirements
Any applications must identify the source of a required match of 25 percent of the
amount off HOME funds provided for a project, meaning that 20 percent of the total
cost of a project must come from some dedicated source other than HOME. The
match funds must be committed to the HOME program for an indeterminate period of
time, which eliminates equity or loans as sources of match. The match requirements
are addressed in detail in the attached regulations.

Item $8:
Lonq-term Affordabilit¥.
To assure long term affordability of the initial three single family homes for
the required term of 15 years the City will require utilization of the MHFA or
other assisted First Time Home Buyer Program upon sale of said properties before
the 15 year term expires. The homeowner would be required to sell the home to
a first time home buyer or an interested party that meets the income guidelines
for the HOME program. Furthermore; the sale price could not exceed the maximum
purchase price, for existing housing, set by the MHFA First Time Home Buyer
Program. If the homeowner chooses not to abide by this requirement and sell the
house for a price which exceeds the MHFA First Time Home Buyer guidelines, half
of the net proceeds (after payoff of mortgage and sale expenses) would be given
to the City for utilization in another HOME program project. With these
guidelines set in place it would encourage the homeowner to either remain in the
home or sell to low to moderate income persons; thereby ensuring that the home
remain affordable for the term required by the HOME Program requirements.
The MEFA First Time Homebuyer Program includes a downpayment and payment
assistance portion. It is expected that this will be used to make the initial
three (and subsequent) families able to afford the house at the price of $84,900.
If such MEFA assistance is not available or needs to be supplemented to keep the
family total housing costs less than 29% of the family gross income, the City

..,HEF~Z~EL,.., L IPE,A-rE
On February 28, 1994, the city
council adopted a resolution to start the
wheels finally moving for the
desto--action and the rebuilding of the
target block. From the work session, we
learned that the council and Mayor
Sturdevant wanted the area razed, all
that is except Mr. Nawrocki. While the
other members were deciding to go the
developer way or having the city coundl
market the lots, Mr. Nawrocki fought to
have the contingency of Town homes
and remodeling the duplexes left in the
plan. His rationale was that if the funds
cannot be raised, Town homes or the
remodeling is an acceptable alternative.
At the coundl meeting that is the way it
was adopted. Rest assured that the other
members will not allow the area to be
band aided up and sold to unsuspecting
citizens. Those duplexes will be razed. If
the 'city council falls back on their
contingency plan-be it either duplexes or
remodeling the duplexes, i feel confident
our group will step i and be visiting the
council session in full force.
The I-iRA is also investigating the
prospects of an additional grant for the
three duplexes off the target block. The
grant will ask for $90,000, $30,000 for each
duplex. While jury is still out as to
whether the duplexes can be successfully
remodeled according to plan, it is a step
in the right direction. More information
will be coming forward to us as it is
received from the appropriate
committees.
HEIGHTS MAKE THE
MPLS STAR-TRIBUNE
For those of you that read the
MPLS Star-Tribune, you saw a rather
scathing report of our city and the
problems of the Sheffield area in
padiculat. Rest assured that the article
will no? be that last word said on the
issues raised by the paper. I know for
my part, the reporte~ interviewed me
for almost 45 minutes. From that
interview, all that was reported was
that I thought the area was unsafe a
year ago and that no tenants have
been a part of our organization. The
article really seemed to say that if a city
did it wrong, it was Columbia Heights.
The steering committee hopes to
respond with an editorial reply to the
article, really praising our city official for
trying to return the area to one of
safety. Look for a reply soon

THE OFFICIAL NEWSL:E'TTER OF THE SHEFFIELD ORGANIZATION
VOLUME 1, ISSUE 4
MARCH 6, 1994
SHINE SURVEY UNDER
WAY!!!!!
Our first big task of surveying
the neighborhood is well under way.
With the great work of the survey task
force of Jill Magliato, Jane Halek, and
Barb Karol, the survey was designed
and approved by the whole group. Over
these past few weeks, SHINE members
have been out knocking on doors trying
to get some answers to the questions
that have been plaguing our
neighborhoock I know that we as well
as the Chief Mawhorter is looking
forward to seeing the results. One
thing seems to be clear, the
neighborhood is not feeling much
better this year than last about the
safety concerns of the city. We have a
large task in front of us. --
We will be examining the results
of the survey at the next SHINE
meeting. A special thanks to those of
you who canvassed the area. I know
that Gary Magliato and I canvassed
those 11 plexes and our eyes were
opened wide. We really have to get
some of those landlords responsible for
their properties Some of the places
that people were living should not be
lived in by people. This really is a big
chance for us to make some huge
changes in our neighborhoo&
Let s get out and finish up the
survey so we can develop some focus for
the summer months.
WE HAVE AND CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
WHIRl I$ [¥[RYON[?
~te seem to have lost a lot of people that
have been regular members attending our
meetings. While I feel confident that we'll'get
some new members from our canvas, I still am
a little concerned about how we keep the
members from slipping away. We really have to
instill the idea that our work is just beginning.
The housing problem in the Sheffield area is
just the be~nning of what our organization
needs to do. We have the beautification of our
area to consider. At this point the city is in need
of a family or families to take care of the
flowers at Keyes Park. Hopefully a volunteer
from our organization will come forward and
offer to take on the task. It is not huge task and
the flowers really brighten up the park and our
area. Call Carol Frey at the Rec office for
specific questions.
Spring is almost here and with the warm
· weather, the volume of traffic has increased by
large numbers on the street. We need to take
special concern to watch out for our neighbors.
Any suspicious activity should be confronted
right away. If you are uncomfortable about
confronting a group, please call the police
immediately. The 911 service is slow to
respond, so waste no time. At our next
meeting, we need to set up our patrols for
FRIDAY and SATURDAY NIGHTS! We can
really help out the police force and keep crime
down in our area by making our presence
known.
I have a real concern over the number of
people that have been missing from our
meetings. Do you think that we should have
our next meeting in April at the warming house
at Keyes park? It's centrally located, it would
get us outside, and it would make our meeting
visible to the residents of the area. Think it over
and come with suggestions for renewed interest
and the Keyes idea.

Re: 1994 HOME Program Applications
Dear Don:
Anoka County will receive $349,718 of HOME funds for Fiscal Year 1994. You are invited
to submit an application for those funds to complete an eligible housing project. Please see
the attached copy of the regulations for details on eligible projects and other program
requirements.
Please keep the following in mind as you consider applying for these funds:
Eligible Projects
Acquisition, rehabilitation, and construction that provides permanent or transitional
owner-occupied or rental housing that serves Iow income households. Limited tenant
· assistance is also available. Any single family rehabilitation should target
neighborhoods. Any requests for general city-wide housing rehabilitation will have Iow
priority.
Income Limits
All households served must be at or below 80 percent of the mean income in the
Minneapolis-St. Paul Area ($39,700 for a family of four) and further, 90 percent of
the recipient households must have incomes at or below 60 percent of median
($29,775 for a household of four).
Matching Requirements
Any applications must identify the source of a required match of 25 percent of the
amount off HOME funds provided for a project, meaning that 20 percent of the total
cost of a project must come from some dedicated source other than HOME. The
match funds must be committed to the HOME program for an indeterminate period of
time, which eliminates equity or loans as sources of match. The match requirements
are addressed in detail in the attached regulations.

HOME Program Project Application

Item #8:
Lonq-term Affordabilit¥.
To assure long term affordability of the initial three single family homes for
the required term of 15 years the City will require utilization of the MHFA or
other assisted First Time Home Buyer Program upon sale of said properties before
the 15 year term expires. The homeowner would be required to sell the home to
a first time home buyer or an interested party that meets the income guidelines
for the HOME program. Furthermore; the sale price could not exceed the maximum
purchase price, for existing housing, set by the MHFA First Time Home Buyer
Program. If the homeowner chooses not to abide by this requirement and sell the
house for a price which exceeds the MHFA First Time Home Buyer guidelines, half
of the net proceeds (after payoff of mortgage and sale expenses) would be given
to the City for utilization in another HOME program project. With these
guidelines set in place it would encourage the homeowner to either remain in the
home or sell to low to moderate income persons; thereby ensuring that the home
remain affordable for the term required by the HOME Program requirements.
The MHFA First Time Homebuyer Program includes a downpayment and payment
assistance portion. It is expected that this will be used to make the initial
three (and subsequent) families able to afford the house at the price of $84,900.
If such MHFA assistance is not available or needs to be supplemented to keep the
family total housing costs less than 29% of the family gross income, the Ci'~y
will take a second mortgage of up to $25,000 (amount which will be payable upon
resale with 2% simple interest due upon sale or transfer of ownership of the
property). Proceeds from this second mortgage would be used to assist another
HOME Program qualified first time homebuyer family in purchasing a home. (See
Exhibit "G" for information on the City/~FA Minnesota City Participation(MCPiC)
First Time Homebuyer Program).
Initial selection of families for the renovated single family homes will be done
accomplished by the City from a waiting list developed by the City for this
program. Applications for the homes will be solicited from the public in general
with families being required to meet the HOME Program income and MHFA MCPP first
time homebuyer program requirements. Preference will be given to residents(one
day or more) of Columbia Heights in selection of families for the purchase ,Df
the homes.
Item #9:
Community Support.

CITY COUNCIL
AND THE
SHEFFIELD UPDATE
On February 28, 1994, the city,
council adopted a resolution to start the
wheels finally moving for the
,.,~o,~,~,_,i~,, and the rebuilding of the
target block. From the work session, we
learned that the council and Mayor
Sturdevant wanted the area razed, all
that is except Mr. Nawrocki. While the
other members were deciding to go the
developer way or having the city coundl
market the lots, Mr. Nawrocki fought to
have the contingency of Town homes
and remodeling the duplexes left in the
plan. His rationale was that if the funds
cannot be raised, Totem homes or the
remodeling is an acceptable alternative.
At the coundl meeting that is the way it
was adopted. Rest assured that the other
members will not allow the area to be
band aided up and sold to unsuspecting
citizens. Those duplexes will be razed. If
the 'city council falls back on their
contingency plan-be it either duplexes or
remodeling the duplexes, i feel confident
our group will step i and be visiting the
council session in full force.
The HRA is also investigating the
prospects of an additional grant for the
three duplexes off the target block. The
grant will ask for $90,000, $30,000 for each
duplex. While jury is still out as to
whether the duplexes can be successfully
remodeled according to plan, it is a step
in the right direction. More information
will be coming forward to us as it is
receiw.~d from the appropriate
committees.
HEIGHTS MAKE THE
MPLS STAR-TRIBUNE
For those of you that read the
MPLS Star-Tribune, you saw a rather
scathing report of our city and the
problems af the Sheffield area in
particular. Rest assured that the article
will not be that last word said on the
issues raised by the paper. I know for
my part, the reporter interviewed me
for almost 45 minutes. From that
interview, all that was reported was
that I thought the area was unsafe a
year ogo and that no tenants have
been a part of our organization. The
article really seemed to say that if a city
did it wrong, it was Columbia Heights.
The steering committee hopes to
respond with an editorial reply to the
article, really praising our city official for
trying 'to return the area to one of
safety. Look for a reply soon

SHINE SURVEY UNDER
WAY!!!!!
Our first big task of surveying
the neighborhood is well under way.
With the great work of the survey task
force of Jill Magliato, Jane Halek, and
Barb Karo[ the survey was designed
and approved by the whole group. Over
these past few weeks, SHINE members
have been out knocking on doors trying
to get some answers to the questions
that have been plaguing our
neighborhood. I know that we as well
as the Chief Mawhorter is looking
forward to seeing the results. One
thing seems to be clear, the
neighborhood is not feeling much
better this year than last about the
safety concerns of the city. We have a
large task in front of us. -~
We will be examining the results
of the survey at the next SHINE
meeting. A special thanks to those of
you who canvassed the area. I know
that Gary Magliato and I canvassed
those 11 plexes and our eyes were
opened wide. We really have to get
some of those landlords responsible for
their properties. Some of the places
that people were living should not be
lived in by people. This really is a big
chance for us to make some huge
changes in our neighborhoo&
Let s get out and finish up the
survey so we can develop some focus for
the summer months.
WE HAVE AND CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
WllER[ IS EVERYONE?
We seem to have lost a lot of people that
have been regular members attending our
meetings. While I feel confident that we'll'get
some new members from our canvas, I still am
a little concerned about how we keep the
members from slipping away. We really have to
instill the idea that our work is just beginning.
The housing problem in the Sheffield area is
just the beginning of what our organization
needs to do. We have the beautification of our
area to consider. At this point the city is in need
of a famiily or families to take care of the
flowers at Keyes Park. Hopefully a volunteer
from our organization will come fonvard and
offer to take on the task. It is not huge task and
the flowers really brighten up the park and our
area. Call Carol Frey at the Rec office for
specific questions.
Spring is almost here and with the warm
weather, the volume of traffic has increased by
large numbers on the street. We need to take
special concern to watch out for our neighbors.
Any suspicious activity should be confronted
rigJat away. If you are uncomfortable about
confronting a group, please call the police
immediately. The 911 service is slow to
respond, so waste no time. At our next
meeting., we need to set up our patrols for
FRIDAY and SATURDAY NIGHTS! We can
really help out the police force and keep crime
down in our area by making our presence
known.
I have a real concern over the number of
people that have been missing from our
meetings. Do you think that we should have
our next meeting in April at the warming house
at Keyes park? It's centrally located, it would
get us outside, and it would make our meeting
visible to the residents of the area. Think it over
and come with suggestions for renewed interest
and the Keyes idea.

APPROVAl.
To assist low to moderate income families in the Sheffield Neighborhood in purchasing renovated single family housing
units (renovated from duplex units), a down payment assistance program is desirable. Through the Federal Home Loan
Bank of DesMoines, non-profit groups, HRA's, and/or cities may apply for a direct subsidy (up to 20 year no interest
assistance) for providing assistance to low to moderate income (adjusted income of up to $39,680 per year) families to
purchase housing.
An application through the Norwest Bank to the Federal Home Loan Bank of DesMoines has been prepared for $30,000
of down payment assistance funds. These funds are projected to be used for 10 of 12 families purchasing 12 renovated
(from duplex units) single family homes in the Sheffield Neighborhood. Up to $3,000 in downpayment assistance will
be provided at 2% interest with the simple interest and principal payable upon sale or transfer of ownership of the
property or at the end of the 20th year of the mortgage, whichever occurs first. The City and Federal Home Loan Bank
of DesMoines will have a second mortgage on the property. The principal on the payback funds will go to the Federal
Home Loan Bank of DesMoines while the interest will be paid to the City for use for additional downpayment assistance
for LMI families.
A resolution approving the application for the funds is attached as Appendix "A". Information on the Federal Home
Loan Bank and the Affordable Housing Program are attached as Appendix "B". The application is attached as Appendix

NOW IS THE TIME...
for you and others involved in community development to take advantage of
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines Community Investment and/or
Affordable Housing Program funds.
Many financial institutions arc eager to participate in targeted housing and
community development lending projects. Because of shrinking public resources,
organizations like yours need a new source of funding for existing or proposed
programs.
NOW IS THE TIME to put these two factors together for the benefit of not only
financial institutions and nonprofits, but for thc communities both of you serve.
Funds from thc Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines can facilitate this
partnership. For nearly 60 years, thc Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines has
been a major source of low-cost housing credit for thc Midwest -- one of twelve
"housing banks" nationwide.
Its stockholder-members arc financial institutions,, primarily savings and loans and
savings banks, involved in mortgage lending. Right now they have access to our
funds and need partners such as your organization to put together effective housing
and community development projects. Many commercial banks and credit unions
arc eligible to join thc Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moincs and' may do so in
thc future. This will increase the number of financial institutions you can work
with to usc our low-cost Community Investment funds and twice yearly Affordable
Housing Program discounted rates and direct subsidies.
NOW IS THE TIME to put the housing and community investment experts --
program administrators, the mortgage lenders and the credit specialist -- together.
We will help you locate a lender that has access to our funds. By calling Nancy
Grandquist, our Community Investment Director at (515) 243-4211, you can
obtain information on Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines' members in your
area and how our Community Investment and Affordable Housing Program funds

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
This s-mmary provides a brief overview of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des' Moines' Affordable
Housing Program (AHP), established pursuant to Section 721 of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, and regulations publistwxi by the Federal Housing Finance Board
(FftFB) in the Federal Register on March 1, 1991.
The purpose of the Bank's AHP is to subsidize the interest rate on advances or provide direct subsidies to
member institutions engaged in lending for long-term, very-iow, low- and moderate-income, owner-
occupied and affordable rental housing at subsidized interest rates. The program is designed to encourage
members to undertake creative efforts to increase their participation in and support for efforts to increase
the district's supply of affordable housing. Loans by member institutions utilizing AHP subsidies should
meet prudent, flexible and innovative underwriting standards ~t do not expose members to undue risk.
Members are encouraged to fund qualified projects that do not meet customary c~tefia or existing
secondary mortgage market requirements or for which no secondary market exists.
Subsidies under this program may be used in conjunction with other sources of funds such as the Bank's
Community Investment Fund and the federal Iow-income housing tax credit program, as well as other
federal, state or local private assistance programs.
AHP subsidies must be used for one of two broad purposes:
· to finance the purchase, consUuction, and/or rehabilil~on of owner-occupied housing for very
low-, low- and moderate-income households; or
to finance the.purchase, consuuction, and/or rehabilitation of rental housing, at least twenty
percent (20%) of the units of which will be occupied by and affordable for very low-income
households for the remaining useful life of such housing or the mortgage term.
PROGRAM PRIORITIES
There are seven program priorities. Six priorities have been ~a'zblished by the Federal Housing F~ce
Board, and fl~e seventh priority listed below has been adopted specifically by the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Des Moines. Applications involving projects which meet al: least tluee of these priorities will ~ceive
first consideration in the evaluation process:
(1) Projects of which the principal purpose is to finance the pun:hase, construction, and/or rehabilitation of
owner-occupied homes for very low-, low- and moderate-income households, in that priority order;, or
(2) Projects of which the principal purpose is to finance the pun:~, construction, and/or rehabilitation of
rental housing, at least twenty percent (20%) of the units of which will be occupied by and affordable
for very low-income households for the remaining useful life of such housing or ~ mortgage term; or
(3) Projects that finance the purchase and/or rehabilitation of housing owned or held by the United States
Government or any agency or instrume~ntality of the United States; for example, the U. S. Depamnent
of Housing and Ufoan Development, Resolution Trust Cx~rporation, Farmers Home Administration,
Veterans Administration, Federal National Mortgage Association, or Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation; or
(4) Projects that finance the purchase, comm~on, and/or rehabilitation of housing which is sponsored by
any nonprofit organization, a state or political subdivision of any state, a local housing authority, or a
st:~te housing finance agency;, or
(5) Projects that empower the urban or rural poor through resideat management, homesteading, self-help
housing, and similar pwgrams that meet critical urban or runfl housing needs; or
(6) Pwjects that provide permanent housing for the homeless; or
(7) To encourage participation by members (or an affiliateJbranch in another community) who have not
previously received funding (for an AI-IP project) the Affordable Housing Advisory Council has
determined that priority be given to projects submitted by membew (or their affiliate/branches) who are
submitting an application for the flint time, or who have previoualy submitted (a project), but were not
approved, including projects that were not ultimately funded (i.e., withdrawn projects), or a consortium
of member financial institutions that include a new participle.
APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING
AHP regulations Wxluire that applications for subsidized AHP advances or direct subsidies include the
following infommion:

program's priorities described in the preceding section;
(2) A ~oLement of how the project complies with Fair Hou.~ing Laws and Regulations;
(3) A disclosure of any applicant's interest, direct or indirect, in the property or project;

of how any excess subsidy will be recaptured; and
(9) A certification, signed by the members managing officer, I~hat the subsidized advance/direct subsidy
shall be only for authorized uses.
SCORING AND EVALUATION OF AHP APPLICATIONS
The Affordable Housing Program will operate through a di~ct-wide competition. There w~l be no
special allocations for states or jurisdictiom. Pwjects described in applications will first be evalo~!~ Io
ensure that they meet four "flur. shold" tests: (1) complimce with fair housing laws ~_d regndntions;
(2) feasibility of the project; (3) ability of ~e member to qualify for an advance to fund the project; and
(4) ability of fl~e project to begin using Bank assistance within twelve months. Upon meeting all four
threshold tests, applications will then be evaluated on the basis of a number of criteria and objectives, using
a lO0-point scoring system prescribed in the AHP regulation.
Applications receiving the highest ratings will be forwarded to ~ Federal Housing Finance Board for
review not later than 30 days after the close of the application period. 'I~ regulations provide that the
FI-IFB will announce the funding decisions within 30 days thereafter.
The scoring system requires that each application be evaluated m~ the basis of three groups of objectives.
First Scoring Group:
(25 points)
The flint and most important objective is the consistency of the project with the priorities identified in fl~e
regulation. Proposals may receive up to 25 points for this ob~'~ive, with a proposal's actual point total
reflecting its consistency with, or potential for achievement of, the priofifie~
Second Scoring Group:
(45 points)
In the second group of objectives, the Bank may award up to 1S points for each of the following three
objectives:
(1) Ta~eting - the extent to which a pwject targets households below the statutory maximum as adjusted
by family s/ze.
(2) Long-term retention - the extent to which the project facilitates mazimum retention of housing for very
low-, low- and moderate-income households as evide~:ed through the existence of long-term
guarantees, land trusts, and similar techniques; and
(3) ,F, ff~2Lv..~tl~ - the effective usc of AHP dollars as measured by thc number of AI-IP subsidy dollars per
unit or mortgage.
Third Scoring Group:
(30 points)
In the third group of objectives, the Bank may award up to 10 points for each of-the following three
objectives:
(1) Communi~ involvement - the extent to which a project involves clcmomtmed support by community
organizafiom, other than as projea sponsors, the community interests served by the project, and file
extent Io which support is local in nature;
(2) O)mmuni _ty stability_ - the extent ~o which a project maximizes community stability, serves very low-,
low- and moderate-income members of the commuIfi~]t, ~ minimizes the ~ellt of ~g
members of fl~e community;, and
(3) lnnov~on - the cximt to which the project involves a particularly new or unusual non-fmmdal or
financial approach for meeting housing needs in the commmfity being served.
After fl~e Bank has evaluated and scored its applications, it ~/11 forward to the ~ for final funding
consideration those applications receiving the highest overall .rankings. To ensure an adequate pool of
applications for FHFB consideration, the regulations require the Bank to fovatard to the FHFB highest-
ranking applications sufficient to exhaust thc AHP funds avail~lc fwm the Bank, plus the next four
highest-ranking applications. Based on its own nview and the rankings submitted by the Bank, the FttFB
will make final funding decisions.
SUBSIDY LIMITATIONS AND TERMS OF ADVANCES
AHP regulations proh/bit subsidized AHP advances/direct subsidies to members in excess of that amoun~
needed to reduce the monthly housing cost (excluding utilities) lbr the targeted household W twenty percent
(20%) of the household's gross monthly income. This does ~ot apply if the subsidy per unit is under
:$5,000.
Additionally, a member receiving a subsidized advan~ shall extend credit to qualified borrowers at an
effective rate of interest discounted at least to the same extent as the subsidy granted to the member by the
Bank.
Members receiving subsidized advances must meet ~ Bank's normal tests of creditworthiness, and the
Bank's standard conateral requirements apply. AI-IP advances arc available in the full range of maturities
offered by the Bank, up to a maximum of 20 years, and standard prepayment fees apply. Any interest
accrued on AHP funds by tl~ member financial institution may be: (1) retained by the member, (2)
clonated to a nonprofit, or (3) returned to the project.

G. Please de.sen'be the project's feasibility, including local market conditions that would justify the project/activity.
The City already owns three vacant blighted duplexes which will be renovated and sold
under this program. Also, owned by the City in the Sheffield Neighborhood are 12
other blighting influence vacant duplexes which will be cleared as soon as the
remaining 8 in a one block target area are acquired. Those 20 duplex units will be
cleared and single family houses will be constructed on 16 reconfigured lots. It is
expected that the remaining 8 in that block will be acquired by July 1, 1994,
property cleared and lots sold by early 1995.
The Sheffield Neighborhood Duplex Conversion Project involves up to 12 duplexes
outside the target block. In the Sheffield Neighborhood there are 92 duplex
structures within a 12 block area along with other multiple unit housing and single
family housing. The majority of the duplex units have substantial deferred
maintenance and upgrading. The majority of the duplexes were built in the late
1950's 'and early 1960's. The density of duplexes in the neighborhood has caused
severe problems which are documented in Exhibit "D". Conversion of at least 12 of
the duplex units outside of the target block to single family houses, along with the
clearance of 20 duplex units in the target block - (1600 Block of Fillmore and
Pierce) will reduce the density of houses in the area and bring homeownership pride
back to the neighborhood. It will also provide, most importantly, the opportunity
for home ownership to low to moderate income families in single family houses in an
excellent location (all levels of schools are within 5 to 6 blocks of the area.,
grocery and other shopping is within a few blocks, bus service is within 3 to 4
blocks, a large park is located in the area, etc.)

L Does the applicant have any past or pre_=~_qt financial or ownership intexest in the project? If so, plcase describe.
Yes. The City currently owns 3 of the 12 duplexes that will be renovated to single
family homes and sold to LMI families. The cost of these three duplexes was $56,000
each for a total investment of $168,000. The City-will be acquiring the other 9
duplex units during the next two years. The City owns 12 other duplex units in the
neighborhood target block (at cost of $672,000) and is in the process of acquiring'
more of the remaining 8 properties in the target block area. Because of the need for'
substantial change in the neighborhood and the public support for such a change , the
City is planning on investing up to $1.5 million in the neighborhood. (See Exhibits.
"D15" and "H").
Priorities. In the space provided, please describe the relationship of the project to the Affordable Housing
Program's priorities listed below:.
1. Projects the principal purpose of which is to £mance the purchase, construction and/or rehabilitation of
owner-occupied homes for very Iow-income (below 50% of medlnn), low- and moderate-income (below
80% of median) households in that priority order; or
The intent of this program is to provide ownership opportunities to up to 12 low to
moderate income families through acquisition, renovation of 12 duplex units to
large single family homes and sale of the renovated single family homes. With
assistance of the Downpayment Assistance through the AHP and other assistance as
necessary, 10 of the renovated single family homes will be purchased by low to
moderate income families. Of the 10 LMI, it is expected that at least two of those
will be very low income. Ail 10 of the families assisted with downpayment assistanct~-
for the AHP will be either low to moderate income (adjusted income of less than
$39,680 per year or current level of 80% of-median income) or very low income
(adjusted yearly income of less than $24,800 or current level of 50% of median
income ).
Projects the principal pttrl~se of which is to finance the purclmse, construction and/or rehabilitation of
rental housing, at least 20 percent of the units of which will be occupied by and affordnble for very low-
income households for the x~maining useful life of such ho-'~ing or the mongage terms; or

5. Projects that empower the urban and rural poor through resident management, homesteading, self-help
housing, and similar programs that meet critical urban or rural housing needs; or
The City goal is to assist up to 2 qualified very low-income families in the
purchase of 2 of the renovated single family homes (renovated from 2
duplexes). Through Norwest Bank it is ,expected that first time homebuyer
training will be provided to these two families and any of the other
families participating in the AHP downpayment assistance program.

To encourage participation by members (or an affiliate/branch in another community) who have not
previously received funding (for an AHP project) the Affordable Housing Advisory Council has determined
that priority be given to projects submitted by members (or their affiliate/branches) who are submitting an
application for the first time, or who have previously submitted (a project), but were not approved,
including projects that were not-.ultimately funded (Lc., withdrawn projects), or a consortium of member
financial institutions that include a new participant.
This is the first application for AHP funds from the City of Columbia.

First Time Homebuyer Program and/or to families with incomes under the 80%
of median income level. Qualified families will be assisted to the extent
necessary to enable the families to pay not more than 29% of their gross
income for housing costs. When the families sell or transfer ownership of
the house, the AHP downpayment assistance will be paid back to the Federal
Home Loan Bank. The 2% interest will be paid to the City and reused for
another loan to a qualified first time homebuyer.

This Sheffield Neighborhood Blighted Duplex Conversion Project is part of the overall Sheff.~Leld
Neighborhood Redevelopment Project. That project includes the acquisition of a total of up to
32 duplexes out of 92 duplexes in the neighborhood. Of the 32 duplexes, 20 duplexes in a
target block area will be cleared, the block reconfigured so that 16 larger lots can be sold
to families interested in building new homes in the area. The other 12 duplex units (outside
of target block) will be converted to single family homes under this 'Sheffield Neighborhood
Blighted Duplex Conversion Project" to single family homes. At least 10 of the 12 renovated
units will be sold by the City to LMI families.
The overall effect of replacement of at least 32 of the 92 duplex units in the Sheffield
Neighborhood with single family homes will return a more reasonable amount of homeownership and
homeownership pride in the neighborhood. The 92 duplexes (largest concentration of duplexes
in the City) were originally built for owner occupants; however, with the changes in tax codes
and gradual decline of the neighborhood due to lack of proper maintenance and upgrading, and
other factors, now over 77% (71 of 92) of the duplexes are totally renter occupied or formerly
renter occupied and now vacant and owned by City (see Exhibit 'D28'). With 32 of the now
renter occupied duplexes (or renter occupied until acquired by the City) either replaced by or
converted to single family owner occupied homes, the percentage of renter occupied will
decrease to 42% (39) renter occupied duplexes. (Continued on attached page) -
C. Please indicate the. number of years the project will be retained as affordable housing and how this will be
accomplished; for example, land covenants, deed rcsu-icrlons, second liens, Iow-income housing tax credits, etc.
Along with the Federal Home Loan Bank, the City will place a second mortgage on the property
for payback of the downpayment assistance of $3,000 .and 2% simple interest either upon sale,
transfer or at the end of the 20th year of ownership, whichever occurs first. It is expected
that the downpayment assistance amount provided to t]he 10 families will not be paid back for
some time as it will not be accuring much interest expense and does not have to be paid until
one of the above events occurs. This, plus the HOME program funds being used to assist in
keeping ~he sale price under the $85,000 MHFA FTHP maximum purchase price value, is expected
to encourage and keep homeowners in the homes longer than would normally be expected.
On resale of at least 3 of the federal HOME Program assisted units, the owners will be required
to either sell the home to a qualified First Time Homebuyer under the MHFA First Time Homebuyer
Program or to pay back the profit between the appraised value at the time of the sale to the
original owners and the purchase price ($84,000).

Community Involvement. Please describe the extent to which ~he project involves nonprofit and community
organizations, other than the project's sponsor(s), the comm.u~i_'ty in _te~ests re ..l:~._sented by. th..e..se groups, .and ~e
extent to which they are local in nature. Please list any specific conm~)utions me.se orgamzauo~ are maiang ~o

There has been public involvement in the planning of the Sheffield Neighborhood Redevelopment
Project and the Sheffield Neighborhood Blighted Duplex Conversion Project. Since plarming
started in April 19~3, there have been numerous open City Council and ~RA Commissioners
meetings, two City-wide special meetings (each attended by over 1~0 people), and two official
public hearings in regard to the development of plans and then consideration of recommended
plans. The final adopted plans were developed with input from the Sheffield Neighborhood
organization "SHINE". Evidence of the public input and SHINE organization efforts are attached
as Exhibit "~. SHINE group members will be involved in finalizing the plans for the
renovation of the duplex units to single family under this AHP project.

Continued from Page 7 question B.
Please provide any additional information bearing on the project's effectiveness.
By reducing the number of duplex renter occupied units in the Sheffield Neighborhood, it. is
expected to have a positive impact on the values of the residential properties in the entire
City. This neighborhood, because of the density, lack of maintenance of duplexes nd other
problems (see Exhibit "D") has had the highest crime rate in the City and has given the City
much negative publicity Metro-wide. This project is expected to change around the neighborhood
while providing new and renovated homeownership opportunities for LMI families. By changing
the neighborhood, it will also provide a more positive image for our entire City.
Community Stability. Please describe the extent to which thc lrroject pr~crves thc community stability by
minimizing thc displacement of low- and moderate-income households and by maximizing community stability.
Please describe the extent to which thc project serves existing low- and moderate-income residents of the
community. If the project involves any displacement, please provide a summary of the sponsor's p~ms, i~ any,
to deal with thc resetllement of displaced households.
The intent of this project is to provide stability to the neighborhood and the City by
replacing 12 renter occupied duplexes with renovated single family owner occupied homes. Of
the 12 the City has already acquired 3 vacant duplex units'and expects to acquire 2 or 3 more
that are vacant. On the other 6 or 7 we expect that 6 or 7 of the 12 or 13 families could
qualify to purchase one of the renovated homes and will be assisted in relocating to that new
home. The other 6 or 7 families in the duplexes would be assisted financially and otherwise
in accordance with Minnesota's statutes in regard to displacement by a governmental project.
To the extent possible, these families would be relocated to areas in the neighborhood, or
community. The City will hire a relocation consultant: to assist with the relocation process.
Innovation. Please descn~ the extent to which the project involves a particularly new or unusual approach,
either financial or non-financial, for meeting the housing needs for' low- and moderate-income persons.
This project is innovative in that we are going to Btabilize and improve a neighborhood by
converting 12 duplexes to 12 single family houses in a troubled neighborhood. It is the
opinion of the resident group from the neighborhood and most City officials and elected
officials that just renovating the duplexes (as duplexes) to current standards (and even
requiring owners occupancy to extent possible for a time) will not solve the problems in the
neighborhood for the long term. Getting increased single family homeownership and the related
homeownership pride in the neighborhood is necessary for the long-term solution to the
problems.
Please explain how you intend to monitor and report the use of any subsidy granted, including an explanation of how
thc project's structure ensures that a prcpond~ce of the ussistanc~: is ~eceived by low- and moderate-income
persons.
The City Community Development Director will insure that the program is monitored and will
report on the use of the AHP funds. Only low to moderate income families will be granted
downpayment assistance under this program. Applica~:s for purchase of the 10 of 12 renovated
units to receive AHP downpayment assistance of $3,000 will be required to have incomes below
the limits cited earlier. Since we will have only a limited number of units (3 first year, 4
second year, and 5 in third year) and expect high interest in the program we do not expect any
problem in selling the units to LMI families.

MONITORING C ~'.R'rI~'I~CATION
All awardees of Affordable Housing Progmxn (AHP) funds are required to
maintain records concerning the member institufi.on's activities regarding the AHP
and certain information concerning the beneficiaries of the AHP funds. This
information is subject to inspection by the Federal Home Loan Bank staff and should
be used to generate periodic reports as requested by the Federal Home Loan Bank.
The activities of the member institution that need to be documented include
all promotional activities, an accounting of the funds showing any interest that has
been earned, sample loan and retention documents, any AHP presentation that has
been given to the Board of Directors of the member institution, and a certification as
to the use of the AHP funds from the member institution's Board of Directors.
Required beneficiary information will jaclude verified income information
and HMDA information. Subsidy information showing what the beneficiary
contributes to housing costs will also be necessary. An example of this would be the
amount of rent paid or, for owner-occupied units, principal, interest, taxes and
insurance payments.
This information will demonstrate that the project has satisfied the income
limits and the affordabflity requirements of the AHP regulations. It should be noted
that, in many instances, the application has set higher standards than those required
under the federal regulations, so. it is those standards that must be met.
The undersigned hereby certifies that the member institution will comply with
all Federal Home Loan Bank monitoring requirements. (Please attach to the
application.) '-

Item ~8:
Lonq-term Affordability.
To assure long term affordability of the initial three single family homes for
the required term of 15 years the City will require utilization of the MHFA or
other assisted First Time Home Buyer Program upon sale of said properties before
the 15 year term expires. The homeowner would be required to sell the home to
a first time home buyer or an interested party that meets the income guidelines
for the HOME program. Furthermore; the sale price could not exceed the maximum
purchase price, for existing housing, E~et by the M~FA First Time Home Buyer
Program. If the homeowner chooses not to abide by this requirement and sell the
house for a price which exceeds the MHFA First Time Home Buyer guidelines, half
of the net proceeds (after payoff of mortgage and sale expenses) would be given
to the City for utilization in another HOME program project. With these
guidelines set in place it would encourage the homeowner to either remain in
home or sell to low to moderate income persons; thereby ensuring that the home
remain affordable for the term required by the HOME Program requirements.
The MHFA First Time Homebuyer Program includes a downpayment and payment
assistance portion. It is expected that. this will be used to make the initial
three (and subsequent) families able to afford the house at the price of $84,900.
If such MHFA assistance is not available or needs to be supplemented to keep the
family total housing costs less than 29% of the family gross income, the City
will take a second mortgage of up to $25,000 (amount which will be payable upon
resale with 2% simple interest due upon sale or transfer of ownership of 'the
property). Proceeds from this second mortgage would be used to assist another
HOME Program qualified first time homebuyer family in purchasing a home. (See
Exhibit "G" for information on the City/HHFA Minnesota City Participation(MCPP)
First Time Homebuyer Program).
Initial selection of families for the renovated single family homes will be done
accomplished by the City from a waiting list developed by the City for this
program. Applications for the homes will be solicited from the public in general
with families being required to meet the HOME Program income and MHFA MCPP first
time homebuyer program requirements. Preference will be given to residents(one
day or more) of Columbia Heights in selection of families for the purchase of
the homes.
Item ~9:

ITEM: FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER PROGRAM BY: ~ DON SCHNEIDER BY:
(MHFA MCPP )
DATE: March 21, 1994
The HRA/City has been invited by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) to participate
in the 1994-1995 Minnesota City Participation Program. (MCPP) first time homebuyer program.
Since starting to participate in this yearly program in 1991, 50 loans have been completed
or are in process for a total of $3,197,703. These loans, with reduced interest rates arm
enabling 50 low to moderate income first time homebuyer families to purchase homes in
Columbia Heights.
Under the MHFA MCPP, HRA's and/or cities may apply for an allocation of up to $4,000,000
for providing loans to first time homebuyers in their communities at reduced interest rates
(1 to I 1/2% below market mortgage interest rates). The current rate for the 1994-94
program is 6.125%. The rate for the new program will depend on the rate secured through
the MHFA sale of bonds to finance the program.
This year, based on past experience and expectations for additional loans in the Sheffield
Neighborhood, the HRA has decided to apply for $2,000,000. This should provide sufficient
mortgage money through participating lenders for 27 loans at an average amount of $74,074
per loan.
Information on the program and a copy of the proposed application, as approved by the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board of Commissioners on March 17 are enclosed for
your information as Appendix "A" and
The HRA will furnish the necessary $400(or lesser amount if HRA/City is funded for less
than the $2,000,000) processing fee and the necessary 1% proposal deposit which will be
refunded upon sale of the bonds for the program. The processing fee is $20.00 for every
$100,000 of MCPP funds allocated for the HRA/City.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to grant approval (concurrence) for the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority to apply for an allocation of up to $2,000,000 from the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency Minnesota City Participation Program (First Time Homebuyer Program) and, if
successful in securing an allocation, to provide the necessary City/HRA involvement in the
program.

SHINE SURVEY UNDER
WAY!!!!!
Our first big task of surveying
the neighborhood is well under way.
With the great work of the survey task
force of Jill Magliato, Jane Halek, and
Barb Karo[ the survey was designed
and approved by the whole group. Over
these past few weeks, SHINE members
have been out knocking on doors trying
to get some answers to the questions
that have been plaguing our
neighborhoocL I know that we as well
as the Chief Mawhorter is looking
forward to seeing the results. One
thing seems to be clear, the
neighborhood is not feeling much
better this year than last about the
safety concerns of the city. We have a
large task in front of us
We will be examining the results
of the survey at the next SHINE
meeting. A special thanks to those of
you who canvassed the area. I know
that Gary Magliato and I canvassed
those 11 plexes and our eyes were
opened wide. We really have to get
some of those landlords responsible for
their properties. Some of the places
that people were living should not be
lived in by people. This really is a big
chance for us to make some huge
changes in our neighborhood.
Let s get out and finish up the
survey so we can develop some focus for
the summer months.
WE HAVE AND CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
WHERE I$ EVERYONE/
We seem to have lost a lot of people that
have been regular members attending our
meetings. While I feel confident that we'll'get
some new members from our canvas, I still am
a little concerned about how we keep the
members from slipping away. We really have to
instill the idea that our work is just beginning.
The housing problem in the Sheffield area is
just the beginning of what our organization
needs to do. We have the beautification of our
area to consider. At this point the city is in need
of a family or families to take care of the
flowers at Keyes Park. Hopefully a volunteer
from our organization will come forward and
offer to take on the task. It is not huge task and
the flowers really brighten up the park and our
area. Call Carol Frey at the Rec office for
specific questions.
Spring is almost here and with the warm
weather, the volume of traffic has increased by
large numbers on the street. We need to take
special concern to watch out for our neighbors.
Any suspicious activity should be confronted
fiodat away. If you are uncomfortable about
confronting a group, please call the police
immediately. The 911 service is slow to
respond, so waste no time. At our next
meeting, we need to set up our patrols for
FRIDAY and SATURDAY NIGHTS! We can
really help out the police force and keep crime
down in our area by making our presence
known.
][ have a real concern over the number of
people that have been missing from our
meetings. Do you think that we should have
our next meeting in April at the warming house
at Keyes park? It's centrally located, it would
get us outside, and it would make our meeting
visible to the residents of the area. Think it over
and come with suggestions for renewed interest
and the Keyes idea.

CITY COUNCIL
AND THE
SHEFFIELD UPDATE
On February 28, 1994, the city
council adopted a resolution to start the
wheels finally moving for the
d~$t~-u~ion and the rebuilding of the
target block. From the work session, we
learned that the council and Mayor
Sturdevant wanted the area razed, all
that is except Mr. Nawrocki. While the
other members were deciding to go the
developer way or having the city council
market the lots, Mr. Nawrocki fought to
have the contingency of Town homes
and remodeling the duplexes left in the
plan. His rationale was that if the funds
cannot be raised, Town homes or the
remodeling is an acceptable alternative.
At the council meeting that is the way it
was adopted. Rest assured that the other
members will not allow the area to be
band aided up and sold to unsuspecting
citizens. Those duplexes will be razed. If
the 'city council falls back on their
contingency plan-be it either duplexes or
remodeling the duplexes, ! feel confident
our group will step i and be visiting the
council session in full force.
received from the appropriate
commit:tees.
HEIGHTS MAKE THE
MPLS STAR-TRIBUNE
For those of you that read the
MPLS Star-Tribune, you saw a rather
scathing report of our city and the
problems of the Sheffield area in
particular. Rest assured that the article
will not be that last word said on ti~e
issues raised by the paper. I know for
my part, the reporter interviewed me
for almost 45 minutes. From that
interview, all that was reported was
that I thought the area was unsafe a
year ago and that no tenants have
been a part of our organization. The
article really seemed to say that if a city
did it wrong, it was Columbia Heights.
The steering committee hopes to
respond with an editorial reply to the
article, really praising our city official for
trying to return the area to one of
safety. Look far a reply soon
Next meeting:
March 1 5, 1 994
Highland IMC
The HRA is also investigating the
prospects of an additional grant for the
three duplexes off the target block. The
grant will ask for $90,000, $30,000 for each
duplex. While jury is still out as to
whether the duplexes can be successfully
remodeled according to plan, it is a step
in the right direction. More information
will be coming forward to us as it is

TWO MORE
DUPLEXES
PURCHASED!
At the first meeting with our new
mayor, the properties in Sheffield owned
by Tony and Agnes Yerkew were
purchased. All voted in favor of the
purchase, except new councilman Jolly
who abstained. His abstention seemed
out of character for Mr. Jolly who earlier
has expressed his support for the rehab
of the area. We will no longer see Tony
and Agnes at our meetings, so we wish
them well. Tony can think about
recovering from his stroke. We'll miss
them.
This purchase brings the total to
15 duplexes, twelve on the target block of
Pierce/Fillmore. City Manager Pat
Hentges has already told Chairperson
Roberts that there is interest in selling
the remaining properties, if the price is
appropriate to both the city and the
landlord. If we get down to one or two
and the direction of the stabilization
project is aimed at the entire block, the
city can invoke "eminent domain ",a
policy that lets the city take the
properties for an arbitrated price! Things
are well under way!
Roberts, Magliato,
And Karol
Reelected
Elections were held for the first
year long officers. Reelected as chair is
Keith Roberts. He will serve as the chair
for the next year. Reelected to the
steering committee are Gary Magliato
and Barb Karol. Rounding out the
steering committee is Karon Reaves
who elected as our second homeowner
representative. We still have a vacancy
for a tenant representative to the
steering committee. If anyone is
interested, please see the chairperson or
any SHINE member.

and ~ill be formatted at upcoming
sessions. This canvas will help us
develop our focus for the next year. in
order I:o make this work, we need to
canvas the entire Sheffield area, and we
need all our members to help with the
canvassing. The door to door survey
will take place in late February into early
March. We look forward to meeting our
neighbors and hopefully new
prospective members. A training
session on volunteer work will be held
at the February 8 Shine meeting. Let's
everyone dig in and help to make this a

provided above.
7. Title Corrections and Remedie4. SELLER shall have 120 days from receipt of Buyer's
written tire objections to make fire marketable. Upon receipt of Buyer's title objections,

following:
i. Proceed to closing without waiver or merger in the deed of the objections
to title and without waiver of any remedies, and may:

Resolution calling for Inter-Fund Loans to Tax Increment Funds
A legal opinion from Holmes and Graven regarding funding/repayment of inter-fund loans to tax increment
funds
Financing schedule for Inter-Fund Loans to Tax Increment Fund and Sheffield Redevelopment costs
A flow chart outlining the inter-fund loan, Sheffield Redevelopment cost Plan
Publicorp cash flow schedules on the status of Tax Increment Funds.
Essentially, this information reveals that the City can provide for an inter-fund loan transfer of $459,079 from the Four
Cities Bond proceeds and $408,000.27 from the Parking Ramp Fund to the Tax Increment Fund, in order to correct the
current cash flow problems associated with the tax delinquency on the Columbia Heights Business Center. These funds
are in addition to the $395,918 that was transferred from the Senior Housing Fund. The tax increment schedules
prepared by Publicorp reveal that even if no tax increments were collected on the Business Center, the fund would likely
have a surplus in the year 2009 sufficient to repay all three sources.
Further, the Holmes and Graven opinion reveals that the Parking Ramp Proceeds and the Four Cities Bond Proceeds
in a total amount of $867,000 could be established as a funding source for a city-wide community redevelopment fund.
This funding scenario includes utilization of two years additional parking ramp revenues of $99,276 per year. The
funding excludes an outstanding principal amount of $403,441 of future year Parking Ramp revenues. This amount
could also be dedicated to the Community Redevelopment Fund, in the event there are not additional delinquencies or
tax adjustments beyond the Columbia Heights Business Center.
The second part of the funding scenario assumes the City would receive tax increment revenues from the Columbia
Heights Business Center. Under this scenario, approximately $954,000 of principal dollars and the Senior Bond Money
in the amount of $395,918 could be utilized for additional redevelopment or public improvement activities within the
Central Business District or with a project modification, redevelopment activities in the Sheffield Neighborhood. Thus,
initial funding sources including the sewer revenues, HRA tax levy, and Liquor Fund could be totally repaid using tax
increment funding. This plan does not include interest on any of the inter-loans. Moreover, a payment of taxes by the
Burns Center could also allow for an additional $777,000 to be released to the general tax base, earlier than anticipated
or allow an early retirement of outstanding bonds for year 2009.

There are two actions for the City Council to consider. First, consideration of a resolution calling for the interfund
transfers to the tax increment funds and memorializing the repayment. Second, the establishment of a plan modification
to the original Central Business District Plan and the Sheffield Plan by combining the geographic areas of both, and
providing for the financing plan outlined herein. The public hearing would be scheduled for the April 25th City
Council meeting. It is emphasized that the plan modification to the TIF District or Project does not include the actual
collection of any tax increments from the Sheffield Neighborhood, but rather only provides for funding plan as outlined
herein.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available to the
public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 94- , Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Columbia Heights, Minnesota Authorizing the Establishment of an "Interloan Fund" for the Purpose of Temporarily
Financing Certain Tax Increment Bond Debt Service Obligations of the City of Columbia Heights and of the Housing
and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Columbia Heights for the Downtown C.B.D. Revitalization Project.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Establish April 25, 1994, as a Public Hearing to consider financing plan
modifications to Sheffield Redevelopment and Housing Development Plan including use of Liquor Fund Reserves, HRA
Tax Levy, CDBG Allocations, and Revenues from Tax Increment Fund as Financing Sources of Funding for the Plan.

Columbia Heights, MN 55421
Dear Pat:
The City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the "City") and the Housing Authority in
and for the City of Columbia Heights (the "Housing and Redevelopment 'Authority")
have asked whether the City may use certain funds to originate an "Interfund Loan"
from their present accounts to the project account for the Downtown C.B.D,
Revitalization Project (the "Project") in order to finance debt service for bonds
issued to finance the Project.
Furthermore, you have asked how these funds may be used by the City and the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority once the Interfund Loans have been re ,l~aid.
Let us consider both of these issues.
1. Interfund Loan to the Downtown C.B. 11. Revitalization Project.
We understand that the City wants to u.,~e three sources of funds to create the
principal amount of the "interfund loan". These three sources of funds
include: (I) revenues paid to the City for the use of an automobile parking
facility constructed pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 469.14, .subd. I
in the Project from the proceed'~ ~'~ ~ ~ General Obligation:Tax
Increment Bonds of 1982 (the "Parkin..g Ramp Fund No. 290"); (2) unspent
proceeds and interest earnings from the $2,400,000 Housing and
Redevelopment Authority in and for the Cit3r of Columbia Heights Tax
Increemtn Revenue Bonds of 1990 which remained after the construction of the
Parkview Villa South Housing Project (the "Senior Housing Fund No. 404");
and (3) amounts received by the City and interest earnings from the
~efunding of the $31,758,000 City of Brooklyn Center, City of Columbia
Heights, City of Moorhead and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in
and for the City of Robbinsdale, Minnesota, Single Family Mortgage Revenue
Bonds of 1982 (the "Four Cities Bond Fund No. 390"). Collectively we shall
refer to the Parking Ramp Fund No. 290, the Senior Housing Fund No. 404 and
the Four Cities Bond Fund No. 290 as the "Bond Fund Accounts". What
follows is a description of the restrictions on the use of t.he monies in the Bond
Fund Accounts.

Patrick Hentges
March 25, 1994

~].60-].
Restrictions on the use of Parking Ramp Fund No. 290
The Bond Resolution for Parking Ramp Fund No. 290 established a
subaccount designated the Debt: Service Account for the payment of
principal and interest on the 198:1 Bonds. The following revenues were
to be placed in the Debt Sec'vice Account: "(a) any accrued interest
received from the purchasers upon delivery of and payment for the
Bonds; (b) certain collec~on of tax increment derived from the
[Downtown CBD Tax Incremew~] District pursuant to the terms of
Minnesota Statutes, section 273.76 [Now Minnesota Statute_s, sect/on
469.176 ] and certain revenues derived from special assessments, levied
pursuant to authority granted ia Minnesota Statutes , section 469.14,
or other sources, available and pledged to pay principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Bonds; (c) the general ad valorem tax lev/ed
pursuant to the Bond Resolution upon all taxable property within the
City; and (d) certain amounts remaining in the Capital Account after
completion of construct/on of the Improvements and payments o~ the
costs thereof."
Once the Reserve Account has accumulated enough money to defease the
1982 Bonds, there is no restriction on how the excess may be used.
Therefore, any amount of the b-{-,~ce of Parldng Ramp Fund No. 290
not required to meet debt service requirements on the 1982 Bonds. may
be placed in the "Interfund Loan" for payment of debt service on any
of the City's general obligation bond issues for which revenues of the
Project have been pledged.
Senior Housing Fund No. 404
The Resolution of the City Couu.ail which awarded the sale of the 1990
Senior Housing Bonds provides that the Bond proceeds were to be
deposited in the Project Account and disbursed to pay or reimburse for
payment of public redevelopment costs of the Project. To the extent
they are needed for other costs of the Redevelopment Project, they
must be transferred to the Debt. Service Fund which secures tMs and
all of the other tax increment bonds issued by the City or Housing and
Redevelopment Authority on an equal basis. (See lette~ from Stefanie
N. Galey re: Expenditure of Proceeds of $2 ~ 399 ~ 720.75 City of Columbia
Heights ~ Minnesota General ' Obligation Tax Increment Capital
Appreciation Bonds of 1990 Series A, dated May 29, 1991).
Furthermore, the Tax Increment Pledge Agreement entered into by the
City and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority dated August 11 ~
1980 provides that "all proceeds, of bonds issued by the City in and of
the Project, all revenues and tax increments with respect to the Project
which are received by the City from the Authority, and all income from
the investments thereof by the City, shall be se/~'egated by the City in
a special fund to be used by the City solely for the payment of the
principal of, premt,,m, if any, ~md interest on said bonds and for the
MAR 25 '94 17:18 HOLMES & GR~VEM P.4
Patrick Hentq~es
March 25, 1994
PaKe 3
payment or reimbursement 'of the public redevelopment costs of the
Project."
The use of the monies in the Senior Housing Account No. 404 to pay
debt service on the outstanding bonds issued by the City in and of the
Project is what was contemplated when the 1980 Tax Increment Pledge
Agreement and the 1990 Resolution of the City Council were executed.
Therefore, using the monies in Senior Housing Account No. 404 through
an "Interfund Loan" to meet the debt service requirements of the
Project is permitted.
(c)
Four Cities Bond Fund No. 390
As indicated by' Barbara Portwood in her letter dated August 14, 1992
re: Use of Proceeds from Refunding of Single Family Housing Mortgage
Revenue Bonds (the "Portwood letter"), monies released in connection
with the refunding of this bond issue "may be expended for any
essential governmental purpose of the City or the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority. '
The payment of public redevek~pment costs or debt service on bonds
issued to pay for public redevelopment costs are essential governmental
purposes of the City or the Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
Therefore, the use of the monies in the Four Cities Bond Fund No. 390
through an "Interfund Loan" to pay for the debt service requirements
of the Project is an acceptable use of these funds.
Use of the Interfund Loan Repayments_.
The use of the repayments of the Bond Fund Accounts is the second issue the
City and Housing and Redevelopment Authority asked us to address.
Specifically, the City and Housing and Redevelopment Authority .may establish
a "l~edevelopment Account*~ and wish to place the principal and interest
earnings from each of the Interfund Loans in such a Redevelopment Account.
Generally, the repayment of the Interfund Loans derived from the Bond Fund
Accounts may be used for the public purl~oses satisfied through expenditures
from a "Redevelopment Account'~ with certain restrictions.
The general restriction on most Redevelopment Accounts is that to the extent
tax increment revenues or revenues derived from tax increment such as
interest earnings are used to fund the Redevelopment Account, the monies in
the Redevelopment Account may only be expended for eligible public
redevelopment costs and only within the boundaries of a "Project" as defined
at Mt~eaota Statutes,'section 469.1]'4, subd. 8. (See Minnesota Statutes,
section 469.176~ subd. 4 for the limitation on expenditures for public
redevelopment costs of a project). Thus, the Redevelopment Account may
only be used for public redevelopment co, ts incurred by the City or the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority within the Project ~ but not on a city-
wide ba~i~.

~epayments.
We previously stated the monies/n the Parking Ramp Fund No. 290 and the
Senior Housin~ Fund No. 404 may be used to finance debt service of the
P~'o~ect. Once the Interfund Loans a~e repaid, the City has p~oposed to place
these account balances in the p~oposed Redevelopment Account. The city may
place the balance of the Pa~kinE Ramp Fund No. 290 and the Senior Housing
Fund No. 404 in the Redevelopment Account at the time the Inte~-~und Loans
are repaid, but only/f the City or the Housing and Redevelopment Authority

FR: Mark Ruff
RE: Tax Increment Projections
Attached are three different scenarios for the combined tax increment account for the City.
The first scenario assumes that the Columbia Heights Business Center (CHBC) taxes continue to
be delinquent through the remaining term of the tax increment financin8 districts and that no
interfund loans from other City sources would be used to support the debt service on the
districts. These assumptions result in a current deficit (March 1, 1994) of over $329,000 and
annual deficits for the next four years averaging approximately $250,000 per year.
The second scenario assumes that no CHBC taxes will be paid and that all available sources of
interfund loans are added to the tax increment account. These sources include $396,000 in the
senior housing bond proceeds, the $408,000 in parking ramp fund, the $459,000 in the four
cities refinancing proceeds and two years of the $95,000 per year assessment revenue from the
parking ramp. These interfund loans result in the future annual deficits being covered by the
current increased balances at a minimal level.
The third scenario assumes that no interfund loans are made, that the $770,000 in unpaid tax
increment from the CHBC is paid in 1994, that full taxes at current assessment agreement levels
on the Mall and the CHBC are paid in 1994, and that a reduction of the assessment agreements
for taxes in 199.5 occurs for the Mall and CHBC. The market value for the Mall would decrease
from $4,000,000 to $3,.500,000 and the CHBC would decrease from $4,800,000 to $3,8.50,000.
These changes would drop the tax increment levels for each property to the original deficiency
agreement levels of $160,000 per year for the Mall and $188,000 for the CHBC. These changes
result in positive cumulative balances for the districts in all years..
Please note a few overall assumptions for the runs. First, no interest on the ending balances of
the districts was assumed. If interest was included, the deficits would be larger because interest
due to the other funds would need to be added to the out.qanding principal. Likewise, positive
balances would be larger due to the interest earnings on the tax increment fund. Second, Anoka
County has not verified payable 1994 values for the tax increment districts to date. A complete
review of the districts would need to be completed to account for any increases or decreases in
valuations across the tax increment districts.
Please call with any questions or comments.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER
MEETING OF: MARCH 28, 1994
AGENDA SECTION: ORDINANCES AND ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER
RESOLUTIONS ADMINISTRATION APPROVAL
NO.: 6
ITEM: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING NEW BY: VALORIE GIFFORD BY:
RATES FOR RESIDENTIAL/MULTIPLE
DWELLING REFUSE, RECYCLING AND YARD DATE: MARCH 21, 1994
Attached are the amended refuse rates for residential refuse, recycling and yardwaste collection which Finance has
developed effective May 1, 1994. The rates incorporate adjustments to the City's current contract with Woodlake
Sanitary Service, Inc. based on the reduction of the tipping fee at the Elk River Resource Recovery Plant. The
attached rates for residential, multiple dwelling and City facilities, are those which were identified in Council work
sessions as "Scenario 1." This scenario adjusted rates for 1994 only; Council will need to establish rates for 1995-96,
as the City's contract with Woodlake includes increased charges for those years.
Please note that no adjustment was made in the refuse rates for vats, i.e., multiple dwellings. However, multiple
dwellings will no longer be charged for yard waste collection. In es~,.ence the reduction the City received for hauler
charges on multiple dwelling refuse charges is being passed onto multiple dwellings in the form of reduced yard waste
charges. In addition all recycling and yard waste charges are being passed onto all customers at the City's cost
without adding on any administrative overhead costs. This will reduce revenue in the recycling area and should make
the City more eligible for the possible county grants. In the past the City's charge to Seniors was less than the City's
cost; the proposed charge to seniors for recycling has been increased to the City's cost with an equivalent reduction
being given to the senior refuse rate.
In addition to these changes the county has imposed an annual Residential Solid Waste Management charge of $36.09
on all residential property. As part of this charge they have imposed a non-residential charge to all commercial and
tax exempt property based on the property value. Under the program the county charge to the City, for City owned
property, for Solid Waste Management is $10,898.12.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution there being ample copies available to the
public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt resolution #94-____ BEING A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING
REFUSE, RECYCLING AND YARD WASTE COLLECTION RATES FOR RESIDENTIAL SERVICE EFFECTIVE
MAY 1, 1994 and to pass all state refuse assessment charges onto the customers.

Charge
Up until this year, Anoka County managed
remaining 58 PERCENT of
by ordinance to NSP's Elk River Resource
Facility and by charging haulers a $77 per-ton
fee at the facility.
The consistent flow of garbage to the plant enabled
'/qSP to manufacture sufficient amounts of fuel to
generate electricity, which wu sold to pay off financial
obligations associated with the plant's construction.
The fee charged to haulers wa, used primarUy to fumi
garbage processing but wa~ also the major source of
funding for the County's Integrated Wsste
Management System.
Unfortunately, a Federal court decision last year
allows haulers to transport waste to out-of-state
landfills. Many landfills in neighboring states have__
significantly lower per-ton
also carry significant and costly environmental risks.
These circumstances lXnC critical threats
County's environmental programs. They also
serious potential for future
governments and businesses to pay
costs.
To prevent these problems, Anoka County
the per-ton fee at the Elk River facility to maize the
plant financially competitive with out-of-state
landfills. Haulers who sign a contract with the Count},,
agreeing to dispose of the County's waste at the Elk
River plant, will pay a $49 per ton rate - a reduction
$28 per ton.

Open burn regulations issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency have been rescinded due to a transfer
of this regulatory function to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The DNR will allow, without
permit, the burning of natural vegetation when the ground is snow covered. When there is no snow cover,
burning can be conducted between the 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. when a permit issued by a DNR appointed Fire
Warden. Residents may burn in a "bum barrel" and have "recreational fires" any time and during any season
without obtaining a permit.
Attached is a draft Ordinance No. 1283, an ordinance pertaining to Air Quality Standards. The Columbia
Heights Fire Department recommends continuation of a policy prohibiting open burning, except as specifically
authorized in this draft ordinance. The basis for our recommendation is preservation of air quality and
minimization of fhe hazards.
The ordinance has been reviewed by the City Attorney's office and by the Fire Chief.

Attached is the amended language for item 21 in the Contract between the City of Columbia Heights
and Woodlake Sanitary Service, Inc. which addresses increases in rates "to account for any increase
in disposal fees imposed by the State, County, and/or Municipality." Based on City Council
discussion, staff negotiated with Woodlake such that rates for the residential refuse service shall be
open to adjustment downward as well as upward, in response to cost per ton.
Also attached are amended monthly rates which the City has negotiated with Woodlake Sanitary
Service, Inc. in response to the decrease in tipping fees at the Elk River Resource Recovery Plant.
These rates become effective January 1, 1994, and include the period through December 31, 1996.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to amend the current contract with Woodlake Sanitary Service,
Inc. to include the option to lower rates for the residential and multiple unit garbage and refuse
service, based on decreased cost per ton, and to include adjusted rates for refuse, recycling, and

NO.: 9.B. DATE: 03/25/94 -'--~---
Gary Mayers representing the Columbia Heights Queen's Float Committee will appear before the Council. The
Committee is requesting that the City pay the cost of the additional undercarriage work for the float. The work involves
the addition of another axle to improve the ride and towing of the :Float (See Public Works Report). The Committee
wishes the City's assistance, as they are fund raising for other add!itional items, including replacement of deck and
decorations.
In the event the Council is inclined to fund the project, $592 of the work is labor and the remaining $508 is material.
This is unbudgeted item and accordingly, possible funding source may be the Council contingency budget. Currently,
we've budgeted $4,000 for Queen's events and $2,000 for repairs and fuel. In the past few years, I have noticed we have
overspent the Queen's events and underspent the repairs/fuel item, with the two accounts balancing to approximately
$6,000. There currently exists $15,000 of unencumbered contingency funding within account 101-41110-8100 that
could be used for the improvement to the float.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize $1,100 from fund 101-41110-8100 for expenditure on improvements

Per the request of Patricia Olynyk, Royalty Coordinator, we have taken a look at the Queen's
Float with regard to increasing its stability.
The float itself is 93" wide. The existing single axle is approximately 48" wide which would
tend to make the float unstable, especially at highway speeds.
As Mrs. Olynyk had requested that we look at 2 or more ;axles, we've put together the following

ITEM: FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER PROGRAM BY: '- DON SCHNEIDER BY.~ "~
(MHFA MOPP) ~ ~
, DATE: March 21, 1994
The HRA/City has been invited by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) to participate
in the 1994-1995 Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP) first time homebuyer program.
Since starting to participate in this yearly program in 1991, 50 loans have been completed
or are in process for a total of $3,197,703. These lcans, with reduced interest rates are
enabling 50 low to moderate income first time homebuyer families to purchase homes in
Columbia Heights.
Under the MHFA MCPP, HRA's and/or cities may apply for an allocation of up to $4,000,000
for providing loans to first time homebuyers in their communities at reduced interest rates
(1 to 1 1/2% below market mortgage interest rates). The current rate for the 1994-94
program is 6.125%. The rate for the new program will depend on the rate secured through
the MHFA sale of bonds to finance the program.
This year, based on past experience and expectations for additional loans in the Sheffield
Neighborhood, the HRA has decided to apply for $2,000,000. This should provide sufficient
mortgage money through participating lenders for 27 loans at an average amount of $74,074
per loan.
Information on the program and a copy of the proposed application, as approved by the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board of Commissioners on March 17 are enclosed for
your information as Appendix "A" and "B".
The HRA will furnish the necessary $400(or lesser amount if HRA/City is funded for less
than the $2,000,000) processing fee and the necessary 1% proposal deposit which will be
refunded upon sale of the bonds for the program. The processing fee is $20.00 for every
$100,000 of MCPP funds allocated for the HRA/City.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to grant approval (concurrence) for the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority to apply for an allocation of up to $2,000,0D0 from the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency Minnesota City Participation Program (First Time Homebuyer Program) and, if
successful in securing an allocation, to provide the necessary City/HRA involvement in the
program.

Announcement and Applications for Funding, The MinnesOta City
Participation Program
INTRODUCTION:
The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (Agency') is pleased to both announce and
request applications for the 1994 Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP).
Through the MCPP, the Agency may sell mortgage revenue bonds on behalf of cities
to meet locally identified housing needs. The proceeds of these bonds provide below
market interest rate home mortgage loans for Iow and moderate income first time
homebuyers. This resource provides cities throughout the state with a unique.
opportunity to easily access housing resources to meet the needs of their citizens.
BACKGROUND:
The MCPP was created by state legislation in 1990 to provide local governments with
a new and easier option to access mortgage revenue bond resources for local
hoUsing programs. Before the passage of this legislation, cities needed to take on the
financial risks and commit substantial resources to sell a bond issue on their own (or
jointly with other local governments) and create local housing programs. Under the
MCPP, the Agency assumes all financial costs, liabilities and risks involved with
structuring the bond sale and provides all administration services necessary to deliver
the loans to local homebuyers (lender origination and loan servicing). Th,s leaves
cities free to concentrate on properly targeting funds to specific, identified housing
needs and on creating an effective program at the local level.
The MCPP offers participating cities throughout thE; state several advantages:
· Cities may obtain program funds in amounts that fit their needs, especially smaller
cities.
· Cities may identify their own housing goals to meet locally identified needs. These
goals may be as wide or as narrow as the city determines as long as borrowers

and properties are eligible for mortgage revenue bond financing and the program
is financially viable.
Cities may establish house price and income limits higher than Agency regular
program.
Agency staff may provide cities with administrative support both pertaining to the
bond sale and to the operation of the program.
The Agency will incur bond issuance expenses that would have normally been
incurred by cities selling their own bonds. Cities must only cover a modest
allocation processing fee.
Many mortgage lenders throughout Minnesota are familiar with Agency program
administration.
The Agency will provide access to its Homeownership Assistance Fund (HAF) for
participating cities. HAF provides monthly payment and entry cost (i.e.,
downpayment and closing cost) assistance to more modest income homebuyers.
The Agency will provide communities with individualized program marketing
support to enhance each program's probability of success.
FUNDS AVAILABLE:
Under current state law, the local housing pool for mortgage revenue bonds is
anticipated to be approximately $43 million dollars. Cities may apply for a maximum
allotment in the amount of $4 million or 20% of the bond authority that is available for
mortgage revenue bonds after the first Monday in April, whichever is less. A minimum
application amount of $250,000 is required.
As of the date of this mailing, legislation is under consideration to
preclude cities from participation in the 1995 allotment process, or to
place limits on the allotment they may receive next year, if their 1994
allotment is underutilized. Given this potential development, cities
should consider the amount of their request carefully, and only request
authority that can realistically be used, given the size of their local
market and the objectives outlined in their housing plan.
PROGRAM TERM:
For 1994, the MCPP program term will run for six months, with cities having exclusive
use of their individual allotments for a four month period, followed by a "collapse" of all
individual allotments into a single, statewide pool available to all MCPP participating
cities for the final two months of the program. This system allows the security of local
fund availability for the majority of the program term, but also allows cities
experiencing higher demand to satisfy those needs by tapping unused funds during
the final program phase. The starting date, four month allotment "collapse" date and
six month program expiration date will be determined shortly after the bond sale.
Participating cities will be immediately notified al: that time. As in past programs, the
Agency will retain the right to adjust the program interest rate during the term of the
MCPP.
-3-
ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS:
All Minnesota cities, with the exception of those that receive a separate entitlement of
bonding authority (e.g., Minneapolis, St. Paul, cities located in Dakota County), are
eligible to submit proposals to participate in the MCPP. Under the MCPP, a "city"
means a city as defined in Minnesota Statutes § z,62C.02, subdivision 6. Generally,
this includes all cities, city and county housing and redevelopment authorities, port
authorities and economic development authorities. (References to "cities" herein is to
all entities authorized under this statute.)
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:
The primary objective of the MCPP is to provide affordable mortgage financing for Iow
and moderate income first time homebuyers through the issuance of mortgage
revenue bonds. These mortgages typically have interest rates approximately 1%
below market at the time of bond issuance. In addition, the mortgages must meet the
requirements of standard mortgage insuring and guaranteeing entities, mortgage
industry accepted underwriting standards, and state and federal law governing
mortgages provided through the issuance of mortgage revenue bonds. Among such
requirements are that borrowers must be first-time homebuyers, must occupy the
property within the 60 days of mortgage closing, must meet certain household income
limits, and must purchase a home under certain purchase price limits. A "pocket
guide" describing the requirements of the Agency's mortgage revenue bond program,
The Minnesota Mortgage Program, is enclosed herein and provides a description of
the requirements typically found in such programs.
Borrower Income Limits:
Under state law governing mortgage revenue bond programs, adjusted borrower
income limits may not exceed 80% of area median income as determined by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Accordingly, cities placing
applications under the MCPP must set their local program income limit at or below
these figures. "Adjusted income" refers to gross annual household income less certain
deductions, including a deduction of $1,000 for each household resident. Currently
80% of HUD's median family income figures are as follows:
80% of HUD
County Area Median
Income
Twin Cities metropolitan area (Anoka,
Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey,
Scott, Sherburne, Washington and Wright)
$39,680
Olmsted $39,600
All other counties
$33,840
These limits are subject to annual revision by the Internal Revenue Service, typically in
April. MCPP participants will be notified of any changes (increases or decreases)
which may affect proposed programs as they occur.
-4-
House Price Requirements:
Under state law, cities have been granted flexibility in establishing their own house
price limits under mortgage revenue bond programs, including the MCPP. Cities may
establish these limits by using one of three methods:
1. Cities may simply adopt current MHFA limits for their area for existing and new
construction.
2. Cities may use the current median home purchase price in their community as
determined by a study of recent real estate sales, up to a maximum of $95,000.
The study must reflect at least six months of closed real estate sales activity
(existing and new) within the city during the last 12 months. Data from a variety
of sources may be used for this study, i;ncluding multiple listing services,
appraisers or real estate agents, filings of closed sales, or any other source
which can be demonstrated as an accurate representation of real estate activity.
If this median is adopted, it must be used as the limit for both existing and new
construction, unless method 3 as shown below is incorporated for newly
constructed housing. Cities should provide a description of the data used as
part of their MCPP application.
3. If cities incorporate one of five specific "affordability initiatives" (see attachment
1), they may adopt a new construction price limit of 115% of the current MHFA
new construction limit for their area (capped at $95,000 for the 11 county Twin
Cities metropolitan area). As this increase is effective only for the new
construction limit, cities must also specify either the MHFA limit or their median
as determined by study for existing housing.
The current available house price limits and maximums for each method are illustrated
in the chart below:

New Construction:
In 1991, state legislation pertaining to mortgage revenue bond proceeds was enacted
to encourage the financing of existing homes before newly constructed homes,
especially for homes to be financed in seven o! the Twin Cities metropolitan area
counties (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington). In the
balance of the state, more flexibility was proviced regarding the financing of new
construction.
In this seven county Twin Cities Metropolitan area, no newly constructed homes may
be financed for the first ten months of a program origination period except to meet
-5-
specific housing affordability objectives specified in law and/or administrative rule.
Specifically, one of the following conditions must be met if new construction is to be
provided:
· The newly constructed housing must be Ioc;=~ted in a redevelopment area (a
defined, developed area where at least 25% of the buildings are structurally
substandard).
· The new housing must be replacing a structurally substandard structure or
structures.
· The new housing must be part of a housing affordability initiative, other than those
financed with the proceeds from the sale of mortgage revenue bonds, in which
federal, state or local assistance is used to .,substantially improve the terms of
financing or to substantially write down the purchase pdce of the new housing. The
housing affordability initiative must meet on(; or more of the criteria listed in
Attachment 1 hereto.
In the balance of the state, mortgage loans may be made for the purchase of newly
constructed homes immediately. However, a city must include in its proposal a
description of the steps it will initiate in such areas to encourage loans for existing
housing as opposed to new housing, and the reason(s) why new housing stock is
needed.
In all areas of the state, cities may not provide set-asides or commitments for the
exclusive use of builders or developers except for housing affordability initiatives as
specified in Attachment 1.
Homeownership Assistance Fund (HAF):
To assist cities with providing more affordable housing opportunities for its modest
income residents, the Agency is pleased to provide cities participating in the MCPP
with access to the MHFA Homeownership Assistance Fund (HAF). HAF provides
eligible borrowers with monthly payment assistance and/or entry cost (i.e.,
downpayment and closing cost) assistance through an interest free, graduated
payment second mortgage loan. HAF is only available to cities participating in the
MCPP. HAF is funded through appropriations from the state legislature.
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION:
Under the MCPP, cities have flexibility in the creation and administration of a program
to address their specific needs. In effect, cities, have the option to create a more
complex program, if that is necessary to properly target the funds to the neighborhood
or population group in greatest need of subsidized mortgage funds. In addition, if the
city has access to additional resources which may be used to further enhance the
impact of the program locally, they may add a layer of guidelines as required by the
source of the subsidy. For these types of local program modifications, individual cities
are responsible for the clear definition of any added guidelines, and the enforcement
of them at the local level (with the potential assist of the local lender). MHFA will not
enforce specific local targeting guidelines or limitations added for outside subsidy
sources. The Agency will, however, place descriptions of unique targeting and
subsidies in marketing materials (eg: brochures) prepared for each city.
??
-6-
Outside of the creation of the local program and enforcement of special added
guidelines, MHFA will provide complete administrative services for the program. This
includes completion of the supporting bond sale, contracting with and training of
lenders, marketing support, the purchase of loans originated locally for placement into
the Agency's portfolio, and periodic reporting to the cities on program fund use.
Cities applying under the MCPP should be aware that the Minnesota Department of
Finance will charge a modest fee to cover the costs involved with processing housing
pool allotment requests. This fee is not ,due with submission of this
application, but must be remitted with the allocation agreement executed and
returned by each city shortly before bonds are sold to fund the MCPP. The amount of
the fee to be charged will be $20 for each $100,000 in allotment provided (eg: $60 for
minimum allotment of $250,000, $200 for a $1,000,000 allotment, etc.).
To participate in the MCPP, cities must also arrange with local lenders to originate
mortgage loans under the program. These lenders will be required to enter into a
contract with the Agency as to program and loan origination requirements. Starting in
1994, MHFA raised it's minimum experience requirements for lender participation, to
a minimum of $1 million in mortgage originations that meet secondary
market standards of quality, or 5 loans sold to MHFA, over the past 2
years. To complete their MCPP application, each city must designate at least one
lender that meets this standard, and enclose a letter from the lender indicating their
willingness to participate. Enclosed is a list of lenders participating in MHFA's 1993
mortgage programs. Most, but not all of these lenders meet the experience
requirement stated above. Cities may wish to usE; this list as a starting point to find
experienced, qualified lenders to carry their MCPP offedng.
Potential lenders should be informed that they will. only be required to pay a modest
fee to participate in the MCPP. Specifically, lenders in state Metropolitan Statistical
area will be required to pay a fee of either $750 or $3,000 (the $3,000 fee is for
lenders in the seven county Twin Cities metropolitan area), and lenders in the
balance of the state will be required to pay a fee of $200. And, very importantly,
lenders will be eligible to participate in both the MCPP and The Minnesota Mortgage
Program (the Agency's regular mortgage revenue bond program) by payment of this
fee. Thus, if they had planned to participate in The Minnesota Mortgage Program,
MCPP participation is free. Finally, lenders should be informed that they will initially
net fee income of at least 2 1/2O/o of the odginal principal balance of each mortgage loan
delivered to the Agency under the MCPP. This represents an increase in lender
compensation of 1/2O/o above other Agency mortgage programs.
Finally, the Agency will provide participating cities with marketing support for their
program, in the form of statewide and local press releases, posters, and a supply of
brochures customized to provide details on each city's unique program features.
PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS:
Applications for the MCPP may be submitted to MHFA between 8:00 a.m., April 4,
1994 and 4:30 p.m., April 15, 1994. (In the event that applicable mortgage revenue
bond authority remains after April 15, an additional application period may run
between July 1 and July 15, 1994.) To apply fo~' mortgage revenue bond authority
under the MCPP, the cities must submit information outlined in the Minnesota City
Participation Program Application for Funding, MHFA Form #MCPP-1 (enclosed) and
-7-
related supporting documentation. For ease of application, separate proposal forms
have been developed for cities in the seven county' Twin Cities metropolitan area and
cities in the balance of the state. Please be sure that the proper proposal form has
been enclosed for your city. This application format and accompanying
documentation has been developed to meet all the criteda in state administrative rules
governing applications for mortgage revenue bond authority. Cities should take great
care to thoroughly complete their application, clearly addressing all areas, and
supplying supporting documentation as needed. In all instances, this will include a
letter of intent from at least one potential participating lender. In some cases, this may
include documentation that justifies higher house price limits as described previously.
Under administrative rules pertaining to accessing mortgage revenue bond authority,
cities may also apply for the MCPP by submitting alternate documentation as
described in Attachment 2.
APPLICATION SELECTION:
Within 30 days after the end of the application period, the Agency will convene a
meeting to allocate available mortgage revenue I:)ond authority. MCPP applicants
must designate a representative to this meeting by completion of question I (c) within
the MCPP Application for Funding. Applicants may change their designated
representative at any time before the allocation meeting by notifying MHFA in writing.
At this meeting, the Agency will negotiate the terms of an agreement to allocate
available bonding authority among MCPP applicants and other potential mortgage
revenue bond issuers.
Upon agreement as to bonding authority and confirmation that the city wishes to
proceed under the MCPP, the Agency shall cornplete an allocation agreement for
execution by each city. Participating cities then execute and return this agreement,
along with two separate fees: (1) the processing fee, as previously noted (retained by
the Dept. of Finance), and; (2) an application deposit in the amount of 1% of the
allocation amount specified in the agreement. This 1% application deposit is refunded
in full, typically within 1 month of closing of the. bond sale. Upon receipt of the
allotment agreement and fees, the Agency will make arrangements to complete the
bond sale as soon as it is financially feasible to do so.
OTHER INFORMATION:
Although the MCPP provides cities with an exciting opportunity to access mortgage
revenue bond proceeds, the Agency will continue to offer the Minnesota
Communities Program for those cities that wish to access a smaller amount of
funds for occasional single-family development projects. Under this Program, cities
may access MHFA funds on a "spot" basis (a single loan set-aside per application)
to finance up to five properties or $250,000 per year (whichever is greater).
Interested cities should contact MHFA's Homeownership Division for additional
details and application materials.
The MCPP is authorized under Minnesota Statutes § 474A.061, subdivision 2a and
Administrative Rules 4900.3200 to 4900.3290. Copies of these materials are
available upon request.
-8-
Local governments may also continue to sell their own bonds under the above-
referenced statute and administrative rules if this option better meets their
objectives. Local issuers will also be required to apply to the Agency for bond
authority at the same time.
Agency staff will be happy to assist in answering any questions you may have about
the MCPP and developing proposals hereunder. For questions, concerns and
additional information, please call the MHFA Homeownership Opportunity Division at
(612) 296-7613 in the Twin Cities MSA, or at 1-800-657-3802 from Greater Minnesota,
and reference the MCPP. We look forward to doing business with you under this
unique program offering.
Attachment 1
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY INITIATIVES
Under Administrative Rules (pending) governing issuance of mortgage revenue
bonds, a "housing affordability initiative" must meet one or more of the following
criteria:
1. The new construction program is accepted and/or designated under The United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Affordable Housing
Program or any successor program sponsored by HUD to encourage affordable,
newly constructed housing.
The program provides that financial resources other than those necessary to
complete the mortgage revenue bond sale are applied to reduce the cost of the
housing or improve the terms of the mortgage loans provided through the sale. A
contribution greater than or equal to five percent of the purchase price of each
newly constructed home to be financed with mortgage revenue bond proceeds
must be provided to meet this criterion. Such contributions may be provided either
in whole or in part from federal, state, or local government resources or programs,
private foundations, or the Federal Housing Finance Board.
The program provides that the applicable local government authority in the
jurisdiction in which the houses are to be constructed takes affirmative steps to
relax regulation to result in greater housing affordability. Such steps must
demonstrably reduce the cost of the housing by at least five percent.
The program supports the efforts of housing groups that support self-help and/or
owner built housing initiatives in which at least 15 percent of the labor and/or
materials needed to complete the construction of each house is acquired or
donated through the efforts of such groups.
The program provides that the housing is constructed by a nonprofit entity as
defined in Minnesota Rules Part 4900.0100, subpart 21, that has as a primary
purpose the provision or development of affordable housing to Iow and moderate
income homebuyers.
Attachment 2
Alternate Application Procedures
Cities may also apply to the Agency for MCPP participation by submitting the following
docu me ntatio n:
1. The city must submit a housing plan as described in Minnesota Statutes §
462C.03, subdivisions 1 and la, and
The city must provide information which clearly establishes that the program to be
funded with mortgage revenue bonds meets the requirements of the program
pertaining to borrower income limits, house price limits, limits on new construction
both in the Twin Cities MSA and outside the Twin Cities MSA and restrictions on
builder set-asides (see Minnesota Rules Part 4900.3220, subpart 2 through 7), and
The city must request a specific allocation frorn the housing pool which may not
exceed the lesser of $4 million or 20% of the total amount available for allocation
after the first Monday in Apdl. The minimum r-LIIocation that may be requested is
$250,000, and
4. The city must describe, if applicable, the steps it will initiate in non-metropolitan
areas to encourage loans for existing housing before new housing, and
It would also be helpful if cities that want to apply for the MCPP through this method
submit a letter referencing the desire to participate in this initiative as opposed to
issuing bonds on their own behalf or through a joint powers agreement. However, a
city may also designate that it wants to participate under the MCPP after submitting this
documentation.

The City of Columbia Heights is a first-ring suburb located just north
of Minneapolis. It is bordered by the cities of Minneapolis (south),
Fridley (north and west), and St. Anthony and New Brighton (east). The
city encompasses approximately 3.7 square miles and has a population of
18,910.
(Source: 1990 U.S. Census)
The city is characterized by its predominance of housing.

Much of the City's housing stock is aging and such issues as mainte-
nance have become an ever increasing problem. Columbia Heights has a
significant percentage of its housing stock which is more than 30 years
old. The table below provides a distribution of the housing stock for
selected years. (Source: 1990 U.S. Census)

In addition, the city's population is also aging. Between 1980 and
1990 the total number of persons age 65 and older increased 70% from
1,996 to 3,381.
During the same period the number of housing units occupied by owners
over the age of 65 also increased from 837 to 1,427. As these owners
grow older, they find maintaining their homes to be a greater burden,
both physically and financially. The table below shows the tenure by
age of householder (Source: 1990 U.S. Census).
Age Occupied Owner Renter
Cateqory Units % Occupies % Occupied %
15 - 24 yrs. 314 4% 73 1.3% 241 10.5%

Perhaps the most telling statistic is the number of owner-occupied
householders over the age of 55 and the number of renter-occupied
householders under the age 55. Based on the data shown above, almost
1/3 of all owner-occupants are over age 55, while 2/3 of all renter
occupants are in the 15 - 54 age category.

III. HOUSING PLaN (cont.)
In response to these trends, the city adopted the following Housing
Plan (Source: 1992 Columbia Heights Comprehensive Plan Update):
Goals and Policies:
Goal:
Goal:
Maintain and enhance the quality of the single-family detached
housing stock and the neighborhoods in which it is located.
Upgrade and improve attractive multiple-family housing for
those segments of the population that cannot afford or do not
desire to live in detached housing.
Since Columbia Heights is predominately residential, the City regards
the preservation and enhancement of the housing stock as its most
important task.
A. Sinqle-F~mily Code Enforcement: The City shall strive to
maintain the physical quality of single-family housing
through Code enforcement.
Bo
Spot Clearance: The City shall remove and replace the
most seriously deteriorated single-family houses so that
they do not continue to harm the value of nearby housing.
Co
Multiple-Family Housing Maintenance Standards: The City
shall maintain minimum standards for multiple housing
through a program of regular inspections and Code
enforcement.
De
Housing Assistance: The City shall continue to provide
adequate housing programs.
Ee
Equal Opportunity:. The city shall continue to promote
and protect equal housing opportunity in publicly
assisted and private housing.
Fe
Neighborhood Protection: The City shall work to protect
the integrity and long-term viability of its neighbor-
hoods and strive to reduce the potential negative effects
of nearby commercial or industrial development through
zoning, site plan reviews and Code enforcement.
Ge
Site Maintenance: The City shall strictly enforce its
municipal regulations pertaining to yard and building
maintenance so as to protect residential property values.
He
Land Use Plan: Land uses that are inconsistent with the
Land Use Plan and incompatible with housing will be
improved or removed over time where possible and the land
reused in conformance with the Land Use Plan.

Minnesota city Participation Program
City of Columbia Heights
III. HOUSING PLAN (cont.)
Jm
Multiple-Family Housinq Standards: The City shall
enforce high standards for all multiple-family housing
development. Included will be aspects of building
massing, parking location, access, traffic impact,
landscaping exterior architectural design, fencing, trash
handling and parking ratios.
Alternative Housinq: The city shall promote the develop-
ment of medium density, owner-occupied and rental housing
for one and two-person households. This would provide an
opportunity for large households to acquire housing made
available by the one and two pers. on households owning
detached single-family housing.
Ke
Duplexes: The City shall allow "zero-lot-line" duplex
units to encourage individual ownership of the units.
Lo
Me
Architectural Desiqn: The design of new housing on
infill and redevelopment sites should be compatible in
scale, materials, and rooflines with any single-family
housing on the same block or immediate vicinity.
Financial Tools: The City will continue to use such
tools as mortgage revenue bonds, tax increment financing
and the Community Development Block Grant Program (along
with either public funding source as may be available) to
assist decent, affordable housing in the community,
especially the elderly. The City will enter partnerships
in a business-like fashion, seeking to improve the
quality of such housing and/or ensure that rents remain
affordable. However, the City will not jeopardize the
quality of existing housing and neighborhoods through the
siting of subsidized housing.
The goals and policies were developed as a result of an opinion survey
conducted in October of 1991. Residents were asked to respond to a
variety of questions concerning such topics as employment, education,
housing, local government, community image and crime.
To assist the preservation of the housing stock, the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority has provided more than $25,390,000 in housing
rehab and mortgage assistance funds vial the following programs:

IV. PROGRAM SPECIFICS
The Columbia Heights First time Homebuyer Program will complement
efforts by the City to preserve its housing stock and increase the
opportunities for new families to move into the community. The end
result will hopefully be more diverse and vibrant neighborhoods which
are attractive to live in.
Borrower Income Limits:
80% of HUD Median Income; maximum
allowed under the MCPP.
Currently': $ 39,680 (3/94)
Home Purchase Price Limits:
80% of HE~ "Safe Harbor" limits;
maximum allowed under the MCPP.
V. ECONOMIC VIABILITY
The MCPP program has worked well in the City of Columbia Heights. Since
first participating in the program in 1991 (and again in 1992 & 1993)
more than 43 loans with a total dollar value of $2,914,494 have been
made to date, approximately 77% of the funds were utilized during the
1991, 1992 and 1993 programs.
It is anticipated, based on figures provided by the Anoka County
Association of Realtors (ACAR), that there will be continued demand for
the MCPP.

VI. NEW CONSTRUCTION
Although the City anticipates that MCPP funds will be used for the
purchase of existing homes, some funds may be used for new construction
in the City's Multi-Use Redevelopment Tax Increment District. This area
consists of both industrial and residential uses; the MCPP funds would

BUDGET PREPARATION CALENDAR
Attached please find the 1995 budget preparation calendar. The Finance Director and City
Manager are also evaluating budget presentation information and format alternatives that could
improve the presentation of the City's budget document. In the event any format changes
occur, we'll file examples of the changes with the Council in the very near future.
BOARD AND COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
You are. reminded to forward your preferred candidates for board and commissions vacancies
with the Mayor as soon as possible. I had hoped that the Mayor could tabulate the selections
and present a list for approval at the April 11, 1994, meeting.
ANNUAL PARK TOUR
The Park and Recreation Board has scheduled April 27th at 5 P.M. for the Annual Park Tour.
The City Council is invited to attend the tour with the Park and Recreation Board.
MULTI-USE BUILDING INFORMATIONAL MEETING
The Park and Recreation Board has scheduled a public informational meeting on the multi- use
center proposal. The meeting will be conducted at Murzyn Hall on April 28th at 7 P.M.
SEALCOAT FOLLOW UP INFORMATION
Enclosed please find a memorandum from Public Works Department on various questions or
comments that came up at the sealcoat Public Improvement Hearing. The City Council's
attention is directed to the discussion involving Special Assessments on state aid routes or use
of state aid money to subsidize non-route street improvements. Essentially, other cities charge
adjacent property owners a special assessment charge when improvements occur on state aid
streets. The charge is based on a residential cost with oversizing of design and/or parking lanes
paid for by MSA. This money in turn goes into a street reconstruction or infrastructure fund
to assist in the financing of road improvements on off- MSA streets. At the same time, the City
does draw down its full construction costs from its MSA account, for projects on the MSA
project. This is regularly done in other cities, and irt Faribault the same policy was instituted
some eight years ago.
STINSON/37TH RAILROAD CROSSING
Be advised that we are working out the final details to install, in cooperation with St. Anthony,
a rubberized crossing of the railroad tracks on Stinson Avenue near 37th intersection. An
agreement will be presented to the City Council at ztn April City Council meeting.
City Manager's Report
Page 2
March 28, 1994
7) ENVELOPE SPECIALITIES MARKET VALUE DETERMINATION
Attached please find a series of correspondence frown the County Assessor concerning the
assessment of value for Envelope Specialities. Attached please find correspondence from the
County Assessor regarding the Assessor's market value determination for the project. As you
recall, the original estimates and tax increment assistance for the project was approximately
$500,000. The March 23rd, 1994, estimate of the County Assessor is $714,100. The revised
higher value is the primary basis for raising the tax increment assistance on the project. In the
event the contract revision between the HRA and Miske is executed, the owner still has the
obligation to justify additional site costs on the projec~c. However, it is my understanding that
the site improvements will include finish grading and parking improvements and not confined
solely to extraordinary site preparation costs.
It is my understanding that the HRA intends to execute the revised agreement calling for the
increased market value and the additional tax increment assistance.
8) TORNADO AWARENESS WEEK DRILL
On Thursday, April 14th, 1994, the City of Columbia Heights will participate in a 9 a.m. mock
tornado watch and a 1:45 P.M. mock tornado warning.
9) CITY BUS STATUS
You previously received information concerning problems with recertification of the city bus.
This item is scheduled to be discussed at the March 29, 1994, work session.
10) PROPOSED INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTS wrrtl MTC
Be advised that MTC has approached their various service areas concerning an agreement to
compensate cities for installing and/or replacing signs. One of the important elements of the
agreement would be that MTC indemnifies the City with regards to liability for placement of
bus signage or stops. Another element of the agreement deals with the requirement for MTC
to pay the City for installing new signage throughout the City and unit prices for periodic sign
replacement, installation, or repairs.
11) 44TH AVENUE SIDEWALK
Attached please find information from Mark Winson regarding a survey on the installation of
a sidewalk on 44th Avenue between Taylor and McCleod. I will schedule this for discussion
at a future work session. If you have any questions or comments prior to the work session,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
12) ANOKA COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS REPORT
Attached please find a two month report for 1994 regarding Anoka County area single family
home sales. Also, I have included a comprehensive r~;port for the Metropolitan area. Though
Columbia Heights' average per sale price is low in comparison to the metro area, our sales and
listings appear consistent with the activity metro-wide.

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: PROJECT 9401 - SEALCOAT PUBLIC HEARING
DATE:
MARCH 24, 1994
Several issues were raised at the Public Hearing on March 21, 1994.
Pavement section on 44th Avenue from Quincy Street to University Avenue - The current
pavement section is 10" of bituminous treated base and 6~" of asphalt in the travel lanes.
This includes the 2" overlay in 1992. This section is more than sufficient for truck
traffic.
Plowing/sweeping of Rainbow lot - Other than the special event sweeping day that
Councilmember Jolly explained at the meeting, ,City crews do not plow or sweep the
Rainbow Lot or the access behind the building.
East edge of Edgemoor Place - When Edgemoor Place was constructed, the property
owners that front on 3rd Street requested that curb and gutter not be installed. Vehicles
driving on this narrow road and runoff have resulted in low spots in the unimproved
shoulder which do collect water. City maintenance of this area has been minimal. I
would suggest that with concurrence from the Council, that a 3'-4' gravel shoulder be
constructed to minimize this recurrent problem.
Curb repairs across from 4233 Quincy - The curb across from George Haluska is included
in the list for replacement in preparation for the 1994 sealcoat.
State Aid Reimbursement - Municipal State Aid Street funds can only be used to
reimburse the costs incurred in maintaining or improving State Aid streets. Many cities
will assess the adjacent property owners for all c,r a portion of the costs to improve the
State Aid street. They will then use these funds to either offset the total project cost (take
it off the top of the entire project) or place the excess funds in their street fund to offset
future project costs. This practice of assessing property owners for State Aid
improvements is allowed under the State Aid Rules.

Tornado Awareness Week Drill
March 18, 1994
On Thursday, April 14, 1994, the State of Minnesota has scheduled a test of its alerting
system with a mock tornado warning. Those of you wlho have been issued weather radios
should make sure they are turned on at this time and left on throughout the severe
weather season.
Attached is a schedule of the drill. You will note that at 9:00 A.M. the National Weather
Service will issue a mock tornado watch. They will then issue a mock tornado
warning at 1:45 P.M., at which time the outdoor w;maing sirens will be activated and
all occupants of City buildings should go to their designated shelter area. At 2:00 P.M.,
an "end of test" message will be sent over the weather radio. Employees/patrons/court
and other visitors can return to their normal schedule when this "all clear" signal is
received.
This is the appropriate time to refresh your employees about where they should go and
what steps they should take when we do have a weather warning.
As you may recall, individual communities can now sound their sirens without activating
the entire metro area as was the previous situation. This means that when the outdoor
warning sirens sound in Columbia Heights, there is an increased chance that the severe
weather is actually close to us.

44TH AVENUE SIDEWALK
ENGINEER

~ OF b"OLUMBIA HEtGHI>
A petition was received last fail for the installation of a sidewaik on 44th Avenue between Tyler
and McCleod. This issue was previously addressed in 1991. At that time the City's consultant,
Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, Inc., recommended that the sidewnlk be installed on the north side. A
survey in 1991 resulted in less than 50% of the properties in favor of a sidewalk and the project
was dropped.
In February 1994, staff sent out a survey again, based on the new petition. AttaChed is a graphic
representation of the response. Of the returned surveys, 23 of 62 properties were in favor, 20
were against and 19 either did not respond or provided a ~nt only with no preference given.
It should be noted that on the north side, where the sidewaik would be installed, the responses
were 9 in favor, 12 against and 8 did not respond.
I suggest that this issue be presented to the Council at a work session hi order ~o provide staff
with further direction, due to the mixed response by the residents.

Mr. Pat Hentges, City Manager*
City of Columbia Heights
590 40th Avenue NE
Columbia Heights, MN 55421-3878
Dear Mr. Hentges:
Enclosed is a comprehensive recap of the 1993 year-end real
estate sales for single family homes in the metropolitan
area. This information has been compiled by the Minneapolis
Association of REALTORS® and does not account for sales by
non-REALTORS®.
Additionally, a current monthly recap of sales activities
for single family homes in Anoka County's communities and
the City of Elk River and the City of Big Lake has been
enclosed. The figures, which reflect activities for January
through February 1994 compared to the same period in 1993,
are gathered from the Regional Multiple Listing Service of
Minnesota.
The February comparative figures from 1993 to 1994 indicate
an overall decrease in the units sold and a significant
increase in the median sold price per unit. An important
reminder is that some new construction sold figures never
get entered into the Regional Multiple Listing Service.
Please distribute all the information to your Mayor, Council
Members, City Staff, and other parties you feel would be
interested in this type of information. Feel free to
reprint any information in your community newsletters or
other publications.
If we can assist your city with housing statistics or more
detailed information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

Years up through 1987 include all propeny type sales only from the Minneapolis MLS. Years 1988 and later
include all property type sales from the Regional MLS. 1993 sales include only single family; condominilllils, townhouse and co-op sales.
Through 1992 Division III districts were sorted by a 500 number. In 1993 Division III data was changed to allow MLS members to use an alphabetic or numeric sort. The alphabetic sort starts with the 11 communities in the City of Minneapolis followed by the remaining areas district name. A 300 number series was also adopted.
Average and median sale prices are included in portions of this report. According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary a
median is "a value in an ordered set of values below and above which there is an equal number of values which is the arithmetic mean of the two middle values if there is no one middle number." An average is determined by dividing the total dollar volume by unit number.
This report is published by the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®, 5750 Lincoln Drive, Minneapolis, MN 55436.
T he 1993 revised edition of the Residential Real Estate Activity Report includes data from the residential Regional Multiple Listing Service [RMLS]. RMLS includes 538 participating REALTOR® offices in the Minneapolis area, 176 in the Saint Paul area, 103 offices in the Anoka County area and 114 offices in the Dakota County area.
The RMLS is divided into three divisions separated by geographic boundaries. Division I includes properties located in Anoka, Chisago, Ramsey, Washington and some areas in Isanti and Sherburne Counties. Division II includes properties located in Dakota, Scott and some areas in Goodhue, Rice and LeSueur Counties. Division III includes properties located in Hennepin, Carver, McLeod, Sibley, and some areas in Wright Counties.
As of July 1, 1993 the RMLS installed a new computer and an upgraded series of programs. The new system, called Compass, replaced Real-Trieve. Both Compass and Real-Trieve are real estate computer systems made available through the RMLS vendor, Moore Data Management Systems Division.
Two changes included in the new system affect information that is included in this report. First, there were several district changes made [most in Division III] which makes it necessary to consult different maps for 1993 and 1992 data. Second, there was a change made in reporting sale information. From the time a purchase agreement is agreed to it is reported by the listing broker as a "pending." After the closing has taken place a second report of "sale" is made, which includes the sale price and terms.
The data in this report is taken from the statistical information provided by the MLS vendor. This information, while deemed to be correct, has not been verified by the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS® or the Multiple Listing Service. Neither the MAAR nor RMLS assumes responsibility for the accuracy of the data found in this report.
Reprints of this report are available by calling 933-9020.
