RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending the EDA approve the transfer of $17,500 for HOME Program local match expenditures from the 1999 Budget to the year 2000 Budget.

For your review, I have attached an inventory of these properties. The intent of this correspondence is to receive direction from the Board as it relates to acquisition of the properties along Central Avenue for redevelopment purposes. ANALYSIS: As you are aware, the City is in the final stage of completing its Downtown Master Redevelopment Plan. A revised final draft of the Plan should be completed by the end of February 2000. One of the obvious requirements in implementing this plan will be the need to acquire properties in key locations. Presently, there are limited Community Development Block Grant funds available for such acquisitions. The two scenarios that exist are as follows: The City can pursue sites on a random basis that are identified as substandard or nonconforming in nature with the intent of obtaining future redevelopment proposals for these parcels, or Endorse the Downtown Master Redevelopment Plan and pursue phase 1 implementation and acquisition of key sites. It has been the staff's experience as of late that the values of property within the City have been steadily increasing. Therefore, when reviewing the attached parcel information, please keep in mind that the total value established by Anoka County are not always realistic sale prices. I would be happy to expand on this issue at the EDA meeting of February 15th.

Day file H:\Templates\Community DevelopmenfiEDA-HRA2-15-2000.wpd COLUMBIA HEIGHTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (EDA) Meeting of: February 15, 2000 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING EXECUTIVE NO: DEPARTMENT: EDA DIRECTOR APPROVAL ITEM: Section 8 Report BY: Ken Anderson ~(~ BY: DATE: February 15, 2000 BACKGROUND: Attached is the Section 8 Report which details all Section 8 participants leased up through February 1, 2000. The Columbia Heights EDA was issued an allocation of 25 Vouchers and 25 Certificates. Of those, we have issued 25 Vouchers and 11 Certificates for a total of 36 which is an increase of one (1) from last month. This brings our utilization up to 72 percent. Budget reports, utilization reports and year end statements are being prepared for submission to HUD. ANALYSIS: Section 8 Report: We have contacted the Minneapolis PHA which currently has 9 participants porting in to Columbia Heights (4 certificates, 5 vouchers). We will be "absorbing" those persons to increase our utilization rate unless they have a strong objection. The number of port-outs for February, 2000 is at three (3). This is a reduction of one (1) from last month. Of the three (3), two (2) are Vouchers and one (1) is a Certificate. Although they do not reside in Columbia Heights we continue to count them in our utilization report unless they are absorbed by the new jurisdiction. Otherwise, the jurisdiction will bill us for the Housing Assistance Payment and 80 percent of our administrative fee. The number of portability units remained the same as during January. We currently administer a total of 81 portability Vouchers and Certificates. This number has consistently moved downward over the last two years. This breaks down into 45 Vouchers and 36 Certificates. These are participants that were originally issued their assistance in another jurisdiction but have elected to move into Columbia Heights. For the portability vouchers and certificates, we bill the originating jurisdiction for the Housing Assistance Payment and 80 percent of their administrative fee. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to receive the Section 8 report as written.

Of the 47, we have closed on 26 loans.. A number of applications have been withdrawn or denied. Applications will be denied if the applicant exceeds a 45% debt to income ratio, has bad credit, exceeds income eligibility requirement or lacks equity in their property. The MI-IFA programs are now being administered byr CRR. For certain loans, staffwill be forwarding mortgages and assignment of mortgages for recording purposes with Anoka County. MHFA: The Columbia Heights EDA administers three loan programs on behalf of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency: The Great Minnesota Fix Up Fund, the Home Energy Loan, and the Manufactured Home Energy Loan. These programs are offered to Columbia Heights residents with an income of less than $51,000. The Home Energy Loan is not income restricted. CDBG - Deferred Grant/Loan Program: The Community Development Block Grant program is a deferred loan program offered to low income Columbia Heights homeowners. There were 32 people on the waiting '"'~st. The waiting list is divided between those with very low income and low income. Those with very low xncome will be selected on a priority first come, first served basis. The waiting list has been forwarded to CRR which has contacted the applicants. Once selected from the waiting list, staff from the Center for Energy and Environment/Community Revitalization Resources (CEE/CRR) will proceed with the application. An inspection will be conducted and CEE/CRR staff will determine what items need to be repaired. Specifications and bids are developed and sent to the homeowner to solicit bids from participating contractors. The homeowner and staffwill select a contractor submitting the lowest, responsible bid. The Grant is deferred 10% per year up to 50%. The loan does not have to be paid until the homeowner sells, changes use, or moves fi:om the improved property. Stafffrom CEE/CRR have now contacted 14 applicants and are awaiting updated information from 5 applicants. Inspections and scope of work documents have been prepared for 9 homeowners who are now in the process of receiving bids from contractors. Four loan packets have been received from CRR and staff is seeking Board approval to authorize the expenditures, (see EDA letter). RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to receive the CDBG/MHFA Report as presented in writing. Attachments /EDA ACTION: H:\2-15-2000CDBGMHFA.wpd
