Ruettimann stated that by Friday, May 25'h the Finance Department assured us we wouM have the report and staff will provide copies to the Board members. REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY In Anita Kottsick's absence, Shirley Barnes gave the Management Report. There was one correction to Kottsick's written report. It should state: Unit 710 had a water leak in the bathroom ceiling, which ran down the wall. After some investigation by maintenance personnel, it was determined that the balcony had a significant crack where the balcony floor and wall meet. Personnel caulked the cracks and the leak appeared ftxed until it rained again. A contractor was called to determine where the water coming in. Therefore, the unit wil! not be rented until the water problem is solved. Three units in the North building developed severe leaks around and above the window frames. Maintenance personnel called four different contractors for an evaluation. Two of the contractors stated that the leaks were coming in from above and working down the walls. They will provide a proposal to staff. The North apartment inspections were completed and maintenance is working on a list of the necessary repairs to provide to the Capital Improvement Committee. Two apartments failed inspection due to Economic Development Authority Minutes May 15, 2001 Page 2 of 6 housekeeping safety issues. Kottsick will work with the residents to make corrections. South apartment inspections will be done in late May. Unit 908 has been rented for occupancy as of June 1, 2001. Also included in the report was the breakdown of the 912 vacant days requested by the Board at a previous EDA meeting. PUBLIC I:IEARING FOR SALE OF 3913 POLK STREET NE. Ruettimann opened the Public Hearing at 6.'51 p.m. Schumacher indicated that State Statute requires a Public Hearing prior to the sale of property by an EDA. The Public Hearing for the sale of 3913 Polk Street NE was published in the Focus Newspaper and broadcast on Cable TV on May 3, 2001. This was the-first step in the process to purchase and sell 4401 Quincy Street NE to Habitat for Humanity along with 3913 Polk Street NE to build 3 new single-family dwellings. This is contingent upon City Council approving the purchase and sale of 4401 Quincy. The purchase of 4401 Quincy Street will be.financed by; 1) a $ 70, 000 HOME Program Grant, 2) $35,650from Habitat for Humanity, and 3) a $17, 500 cash match from the EDA for a total of $123,150. If the City choses to not approve the purchase and sale of 4401 Quincy to Habitat for Humanity, the EDA could consider the sale of 3913 Polk Street NE at their June 17, 2001 meeting, but would have to turn back the $70,000 in HOME Grant Funds. The 3 owner- occupied, single-family dwellings to be constructed by Habitat for Humanity would help fulfill a commitment made by the Columbia Heights City Council in 1996 to work in partnership with Habitat for Humanity to construct 9 homes over the next 3 years in the community. The document for the 9 homes is not a binding legal agreement with Habitat for Humanity. Staff recommended the Board approve the sale of the properties to Habitat for Humanity subject to the terms ora negotiated development agreement. Ruettimann provided a spreadsheet listing the Habitat for Humanity homes in Columbia Heights, which listed the 2001 estimated market value and limited market value for payable 2002 and 2001 taxes. He also read a letter from the Nellermoe family expressing their concern that the property wasn 't put up for public sale. Pat Rosenberg, resident and volunteer for Habitat in Columbia Heights, explained how the Habitat home program works. In order to qualify for home purchase, the families must put in a total of 350 hours of labor, attend classes, -financially qualify, and must show a real need to own a home. Nellermoe was present at the meeting and expressed the following concerns: 0 all of the Habitat homes look alike and he would like to see them look like a Cape Cod or Rambler, and 2) why wasn't the property put up for sale to the public because a neighbor might be interested in buying the lot to increase the size of their property. Wyckoff felt that Habitat for Humanity is a good program, but Columbia Heights has enough Habitat homes and the EDA should look into putting in some townhomes for higher income families such as employees of the new Medtronic World Headquarters in Fridley. Ryan Karis, from Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity was present and provided information about the program. Habitat maintains an on-going staff at each site, they have a home ownership program, comprehensive training program for prospective owners which requires attendance at 12 seminars on home ownership, Habitat is a licensed general contractor; all homes have vinyl siding, Anderson windows, 90% efficient water heaters, and mechanical heating systems; and the homes are mortgaged on a 20, 25 or 30year, zeropercent mortgage with Habitat Financial. The home at 3913 Polk Street would be a single level rambler home with 1,100 square feet of living space. Nawrocki felt the garage on the property was not up to code and the entrance was too tight. He suggested the purchase agreement indicate the garage be torn down. Ruettimann stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission would have to approve that part of the development at the time the plans are reviewed. Economic Development Authority Minutes May 15, 2001 Page 3 of 6 Karis told Mrs. Nellermoe that he is willing to meet with the families on Polk Street to get ideas of what style home would be appropriate on the block. He also told Nawrocki that he will inspect the garage and if it needs to be replaced, Habitat would do so. Ruettimann stated that of the 14 existing Habitat homes in Columbia Heights, only 5 of these were purchased through the City or EDA. He asked if Habitat homeowners could buy the mortgage from Habitat due to an income change. Karis stated that in his experience with approximately 350 Habitat homes, it has only happened once, but it is possible. Williams felt that because the EDA had signed the letter of intent in 1996 with Habitat that the Board should honor it. Nawrocki was concerned that there wasn't an amount listed for Habitat to purchase the Polk Street property and what dollar amount the EDA has into the purchase and demolition of the property at this time. Schumacher stated that Habitat would be purchasing the property for one dollar. Fehst explained that we have approximately $35, O00 from Building Inspection funds into the property. With all the questions and comments finished, Ruettimann opened discussion for 4401 Quincy Street that would be affected by the sale of the Polk Street property. John Boreen, 4413 Quincy Street NE addressed the Board with his concerns; 1) the pond behind Rainbow has deteriorating walls and is full of weeds, 2) there have been several police raids at 4401 Quincy, and 3) the homes on the west side of Quincy have problems with water and sewer back ups. Ruettimann requested Fehst check into the water and sewer problems. He stated the home is currently rented and when the Habitat home is put into place it should eliminate the police calls. Wyckoff stated Public Works is scheduled to make repairs to the pond sometime this summer. Ruettimann closed the Public Hearing at 8:04 a.m. MOTION by Ruettimann, second by Peterson, to approve the sale of the property at 3913 Polk Street NE, PIN #36-30-24-34-0105, to Habitat for Humanity; and furthermore; to authorize the President and Executive Director to enter into an agreement for the same. FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO TI:gE MOTION by Ruettimann, second by Peterson, adding the cost of the sale is to be $1.00, provided it is a complete package as laid out in the motion. SECOND FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO Ti:rE MOTION by Ruettimann, second by Peterson, that this sale is contingent upon the acquisition for development of 4401 Quincy, that Habitat for Humanity to meet the ordinances and regulations with the City of Columbia Heights on all three houses. Nawrocki expressed his concern that the proposal lacked the necessary detail for consideration and therefore, the property shouM be put up for public sale. Upon vote: Peterson- aye, Nawrocki-nay, Szurek-aye, Williams-aye, Wyckoff~nay. 3 ayes, 2 nays. Motion Carried. CREST VIEW MANAGEMENT CONTRACT RENEWAl, Schumacher stated that on or about June of 1997 the EDA entered into a Management and Maintenance Agreement with Crest View Corporation that was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This agreement was amended in May of 1998 allowing for the extension of the term of the agreement to include the initial timeframe of two years, with three, one-year options that would extend the agreement to a total of five years. The agreement before the Board is for a one-year (third) extension effective June 1, 2001 though June 1, 2002 in the total amount of $140,802, plus Economic Development Authority Minutes May 15, 2001 Page 4 of 6 overtime. Salary and mileage fees are the only increases. He also passed out a spreadsheet, prepared by the Finance Department, showing fees disbursed over the last four years. Nawrocki asked for a breakdown of overtime hours in the last year and why there was a check issued for $19,487.77 this month to Crest View when past months checks were around $12,000. Schumacher stated he had the information on the overtime in his office and he would check with the Finance Department regarding check issued MOTION by Wyckoff, second by Williams, to approve the one year extension of the Management and Maintenance Services Agreement to June of 2002 with Crest View Corporation, based on their proposal dated May 7, 2001 with the addition of providing a breakdown of the in-house caretakers hours on the monthly statements; and furthermore, to authorize the President and Executive Director to enter into an agreement for the same. All ayes. Motion Carried. PRESIDENTS REPORT Ruettimann recommended the Board take action to move all of the ED.4 owned properties to the HIM, therefore, giving the EDA an opportunity to go forth with redevelopment projects for the City. The Commissioners had some concerns regarding legal issues and suggested legal counsel look at the documents first. MOTION by Ruettimann, second by Szurek, to direct staff to have the City Attorney looking into moving all EDA owned properties to the HRA to handle, thereby, giving the EDA the opportunity to go forward with redevelopment in the City. Nawrocki stated there wasn't a need to separate the two commissions (HR,4/EDA). There would be problems with staffing, overtime, and the availability of commissioners to attend another meeting during the month. Upon Vote: Peterson-aye, Nawrocki-nay, Williams-aye, Szurek-aye, Wyckoff-aye. 4 ayes, 1 nay. Motion Carried. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFFING UPDATE Schumacher reported the following changes in staffing; 1) Kathy Pepin has taken a position with the City of Coon Rapids. Her last day will be Thursday, May 17~h. We have borrowed temporary staffing from the Assessing Department until the position is filled, and 2) Mel Collova has been on a 4 hour a day medical leave the past month due to a car accident. Fehst introduced Mark Nagel to the Board. Nagel will be working in the Community Development Department on a part time basis. He has previous experience as the City Manager in Anoka, and the Housing & Redevelopment Authority Director for Scott County. PARKVIEW VILLA PA SYSTEM REWIRING STATUS Schumacher stated he contacted Fire Chief, Charlie Thompson, in regards to the potential use of the Parkview Villa Fire Alarm for paging purposes. Thompson recommended that the fire alarm system at Parkview Villa not be used for general-purpose pagingfor the following reasons; 1) The MUFC Code says "Afire alarm system shall not be used for any purposes other than ftre warning unless approved; 2) Parkview Villa staff felt that the building would become more of an institution and that this matter should be discussed at a resident council meeting, 3) people making the page must have access to a key for the fire alarm panel because the microphone is in a locked compartment, 4) some residents placed cardboard in front of the speaker system in their apartment in past years because the volume on the fire alarm was too loud, and 5) using the ftre alarm system for general paging would expose several people to potential legal liability if the alarm system failed to operate properly after a paging announcement Economic Development Authority Minutes May 15, 2001 Page 5 of 6 was made. EDA LOAN PORTFOLIO Nagel reviewed the outstanding loans that the Community Development Department processes on a monthly basis and recommended the following: · Section 8 Repayment Agreement was made back in April of 1999 with Section 8 recipient, Duane Hagen with monthly payments of $55.51for 2 years. Hagen hasn't made a payment in 5 months and is currently without a forwarding address. Nagel recommended that the EDA declare the loan uncollectable and that no more loans of this type be accepted. · Home Improvement Promissar~ Note (Sheffield) was made with the Warrickx on June 15, 1995 for $5,000 at 2%for lO years. The monthly payments are $46.01 with a balance of $2,120.36 and payoff scheduled for June of 2005. Nagel recommended that the EDA complete the loan and establish a policy of offering residents the Home Improvement Loans and Grants through CEE. · Mortgage Loan Payments were made by the EDA for two residents. The Chartraw loan was made on June 1, 1979 with a 30-year mortgage at 5% interest with payments of $381.34 and a balance of $20,243. 70with payoff on May 1, 2009. The Nielsen was made on July 1, 1979 with a 30-year mortgage at 5% interest with payments of $318.60 and a balance of $18,699.35 with payoff on June 1, 2009. Nagel recommended the EDA continue to process these loans but redirect the loan repayments into the BRLF account or sell the two mortgages and put the proceeds in the BRLF or housing program funds. · Business Revolving Loan Fund (BRLF)- the EDA has three outstanding loans; 1) Metro Assemblies (Robert & Priscilla Barnick) with payments of $265. 99 and a balance of $13, 646. 31; 2) F.C. Celtic (Kenneth Hertz) with payments of $4 72.53 and a balance of $1 O, 339.58; and 3) Industrial Steel (Steven & Katherine Jonak) with payments of $266. O0 and a balance of $5,246.69. All loans were for $25,000 at a 5% interest rate. In February of 1999, it was noted that all BRLF monies were currently out on loan. As of the 2001 Management Report, there is over $25,000 available. Nagel recommended the EDA continue to administer the contracts, but negotiate a contract with CEE to administer this program and update the loan terms. By adding funds from the home mortgage loans and BRLF repayments, the BRLF can be self-sustaining and no longer in need of EDA monies. Nagel will put together consent letters with motions for Board approval at the June meeting. HOUSING UPDATE Nagel reported on the current Housing Programs. · Elevator Modernization project at Parkview Villa is complete and the City has been reimbursed all of the $271,488 in CIAP funds. There is one outstanding issue regarding the Davis-Bacon documents for the project that will be reviewed with HUD. This was detected in the Auditors findings stating that on the $75,128 in wages paid for the project, the prevailing wage forms need to be reconstructed. · On Monday, April 30th staff from the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) met with City staff and provided an update on the Home Improvement Programs. CEE has administered a total of 62 loans totaling $727,826. · MHFA Rental Rehabilitation and Energy Loan Programs are moving slowly. Therefore, plans are being made to develop an information packet to be sent to owners of rental units. · CEE's contract expires on December 31, 2001. Nagel requested copies of their insurance certificates and an updated Exhibit B reflecting the new, lower interest rates under the MHFA programs. · CEEhasclosedonatotalof9HomelmprovementGrantsusing$117,723ofthe1997CDBG Funds and another $27,398 of the 1998funds for 3 more loans. In addition, another $133,725 in 1998 CDBG funds are being processed at this time. Their goal is to close on these loans and expend the remaining $90,000 by September of this year or it will have to be returned to Anoka Economic Development Authority Minutes May 15, 2001 Page 6 of 6 County. MHFA First Time Homebuyers Program has $30 million to loan statewide at 6.25°/6, at one and a halfpoints. A total of $6.87 million is allocated to Anoka County residents. Thisprogram requires no EDA or City funds. Transition Block Redevelopment Project has begun the 22 affordable townhomes. We will be processing the necessary paperwork for the first draw of $235, 350 for property acquisition reimbursement under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Grant. The remaining $309,650 grant funds will be used for the development of the senior assisted living facility. CITY/EDA/HRA OWNED PROPERTY UPDATE Schumacher stated an updated list of EDA, City, and HRA owned properties was included in the packet for review per the Board's request. The list does not include any City owned parks, corner lots, or the two Parkview Villa properties owned by the HRA, and 4607 Tyler Street NE owned by the EDA. Peterson questioned the status of 828 40th Avenue NE, the old Heights TV building. Schumacher reported that a week ago the Columbia Heights Fire Explorers cleaned out all of the electronic equipment from the building which filled a 40yard dumpster. The next step will be to contact the Fire Chief to use the building for fire training. EDA OWNED PARKING RAMP UPDATE Schumacher met with Mr. Vedi last Friday, in regards to a quote for performing a physical audit on both of the City owned parking ramps. After reviewing the contract for the City owned bank building parking ramp, it was determined by our attorney that the EDA does have the right to request an inspection of the ramp. Vedi reduced the inspection proposal cost from $6,710 to $6,310 each. Schumacher suggested that we sit down with the two individuals responsible and get written commitments for them to pay for this process, and then enter into an agreement for the audits. Staff will make these arrangements. LEASE FOR PARKVIEW VILLA Nawrocki questioned why we use a month-to-month versus a six or twelve month lease and felt that if the lease was changed to a longer term it would help reduce the amount of moves in the building. Barnes stated that Crest View has always used a month-to-month lease for all facilities they own and manage. Barnes stated she could change the lease term upon Board approval. Nawrocki asked if Crest View does a credit check/background check for renter and employees, and if they charge late fees. Barnes stated there is a credit check required and late fees are not required in the lease. Barnes also recommended, that City legal counsel and staff look at the lease and up date it. Nawrocki will contact Bakken with a list of questions he has about the current lease agreement for Parkview Villa. Bakken will then turn this list over to Kottsick for clarification. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned by President, Ruettimann at 9:37 p.m. MEETINGS The next EDA meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 19, 2001 in Community Room B at Parkview Villa.

Each had a different opinion as to what would solve the problems within these units. We have scheduled the work to be completed on the apartment windows that are severely leaking at this time by Professional Building Maintenance Inc. as their photographs show exactly where the caulking needs repair. I recommend that the capital improvement committee discuss future upkeep of the outside of both buildings. Looking at caulking and painting the north building within the next few years. The air conditioner unit was not working properly on June 11~. It was repaired by the afternoon of June 13th. Once again it was not working properly on June 18~ , it will be serviced on the June 19~ to find the leak and then will be repaired. South apartments were inspected .the end of May and all repairs will be done ASAP.

New security system work is scheduled to begin on June 25~. For informational purposes the Parkview Villa calendar is attached. Z Recommendations 1. month-month leases versus 6-month or 12-month Staff would recommend that we continue to use a month to month for the following reasons. The majority of our tenants are seniors whose health needs may increase rather suddenly therefore they may no longer safely, stay in their apartments. Also if a north resident needed to move to a assisted living facility or a Long Term Care Facility more than likely they would be subsidized in that facility and the government will not subsidize two dwellings. Finally, in the last year or so that I have worked at Parloriew Villa there were only 3 residents who moved just to relocate all others had to move due to increased needs or the resident may have passed away. *I would however recommend that the lease be updated and a separate lease be used for each project. 2. credit checks Currently we do not do credit checks. If the EDA Board would like me to check into the cost of this please let me know. 3. background checks Currently we are checking landlord references for potential tenants, and we are doing criminal history checks for potential tenants. When an applicant has been offer an apartment and has seen it and expressed they do want it, at that time we begin the initial paperwork; Landlord Verification release form is signed, the Criminal History Check release form is signed, the Privacy Act form is signed, and the Declaration of Citizenship form is signed. 4. charging late fees Currently we do not charge late fees. I would recommend that the entire fee schedule be reviewed.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (EDA) Meeting of: June 26, 2001 AGENDA SECTION: Items for Consideration, ORIGINATING EXECUTIVE Other Business DEPARTMENT: EDA DIRECTOR NO: APPROVAL ITEM: Authorize the Hiring of a Part Time BY: Anita Kottsick BY: Caretaker q C-.-'~ Shirley Barnes - DATE: June 21, 2001 BACKGROUND: Over the past few years, Parkview Villa has been experiencing anywhere from $8,500 to $12,000 in overtime costs due to building and tenant needs. In an attempt to stabilize these overtime expenses, Crest View Management Services is recommending the addition of a part time caretaker position to help eliminate these costs. Maintenance overtime has been averaging 14 hours per pay period with the majority of this time on weekend call ins. If overtime continued as it has been averaging, there would be an additional cost of $10,566 for maintenance staff. If a part time or weekend caretaker staffwere hired the estimated cost would be $5,000. There would still need to be some limited overtime built into the budget due to needs of residents and the building. The Maintenance Coordinator would still carry a pager for emergencies that require his skill to handle. This year, under this new plan, will provide us an oppommity to evaluate this new arrangement. The evaluation will include determining the amount of time it takes to meet the needs of the residents and the buildings, and help us to determine when the needs arise. Due to the aging of the residents and the buildings the needs will continue to increase and therefore we will need to continually evaluate programs. During this year of evaluation, we recommend the $5,000 for the additional weekend caretaker staff and leaving $5,000 in overtime in order to meet the needs of the residents who live at Parkview Villa and 4607 Tyler, and the buildings themselves. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board approve a part time or weekend Caretaker, not to exceed $5,000 in annual expenditures. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the hiring of a part time or weekend Caretaker at Parkview, not to exceed $5,000 in annual expenditures.

Mark Nagel BY: DATE: June 8, 2001 BACKGROUND: Currently, there are 2 outstanding Home Mortgage Loans made by the EDA in 1979. The first, Chartraw/Uecker was closed on June 1, 1979 for 30 years with monthly payments of $381.34. The second, Neilsen was also a 30-year mortgage closed on July 1, 1979 with monthly payments of $318.60. The interest on both of these loans is 5%. The Chartraw/Uecker loan has a balance remaining of $20,243.70 and Neilsen has a balance remaining of $18,699.35. Both loans are up-to-date, as of the end of April, 2001. After discussion of the available options at the May 15~ EDA Meeting, Board directed staff to look into the possibility of selling the 2 loans to a mortgage company. I have contacted local banks without much success, but I did receive one firm offer from Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF), which specializes in buying small portfolios from public agencies. CRF has submitted an offer of 86.91% of par value on the ~aw/Uecker loan and 86.81% of par value on the Neilsen loan. This means that CRF will purchase the ,~ .ms from the EDA for $33,689.61, which is 86.86% of the remaining balances other 2 loans of $38,785.29 to be paid off over the next 10 years. A copy of the CRF offer and the 2 loans is attached for your information. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board sell the 2 Home Mortgage Loans to CRF for approximately $33,689.61 and the proceeds be placed in the Business Revolving Loan Fund RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the sale of the Chartraw/Uecker and Nielsen Home Mortgage Loans to Community Reinvestment Fund for approximately $33,689.61 with the proceeds from the sale placed in the Business Revolving Loan Fund and transfer the Mortgage Insurance; and furthermore, to authorize the President and Executive director to enter into an agreement for the same.

I have pr/ced the loans presuming payments have been made as agreed. Loan Current Balance Estimated Purchase price par % Nielsen $18,541.59 $16,095.99 86.81 Chartraw $20,243.70 $17.593.62 86.91 $38,785.29 $33,689.61 Our valuation calculates a present value of the remaining payments and the interest rate used for the present value calculation is the current U.S. Treasury Bond rate ~vith a similar mamr/ty as the loan and is found listed in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) plus we add to that rate a spread and our transaction costs. The above estimated purchase pr/ce is based on June 6'h, 2001 rates as published in the WSJ. Should the City proceed, the loans would be repr/ced at the time of actual purchase by CRF using the current balance as of that date. Your next step should your group decide to sell, is to allow CRF to conduct our due diligence which could include a reviexv of the loan documents, original application and supporting documentation and a review of the payment history and servicing history of the seller. You could have the loans sold in 30 days without a problem assuming all documentation is in order. Mark, if you have any questions please call. Sinceryly, /9.

The EDA agreed to a loan repayment by Mr. Hagen of $55.63 per month over a 2- year period rather than terminate him from the Section 8 program. To date, the EDA has received $950.26 of the $1,334.00 owed by Mr. Hagen, but no payment since November of 2000. In researching the status of the loan, I learned that Mr. Hagen is now homeless with a last known address of the Suburban Motor Lodge, 420 Coon Rapids Blvd. In checking with the Suburban Lodge, Mr. Hagen checked out several weeks ago with no forwarding address. Anoka County Social Services confirmed that he is no longer on the Section 8 program and questioned the legality of making a loan to a Section 8 recipient. The one collection agency that I called said that the remaining balance of $384.74 was too small for them and stood little chance of being collected. In any case,'since the EDA no longer administers the Section 8 program, it is unlikely that there will ever be another loan to a Section 8 recipient that would need to be considered by the EDA, regardless of its legality. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the loan made to Mr. Hagen be declared uncollectible with a copy of the motion, if approved, sent to the Finance Department. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to declare the remaining balance of $384.74 of the loan repayment agreement with Duane Hagen, Section 8 recipient, uncollectible.

This is the final piece of the Annual Public Housing Agency Plan to be submitted to HUD. With the help of Community Development and Crest View Staff, I laid out the CIP in 2 ways. First, there is the required HUD format of all capital items over the next 40 years, and second, to focus attention on the necessary improvements for 2001 and the next 5 years. I outlined them in what I hope is an easy-to-read format that shows both expenses and anticipated revenues. Parkview Villa South needs improvements over the next 6 years that are relatively inexpensive, but funds should be saved for future, expensive projects like siding, roofing, and windows. As for Parkview Villa North, the news is nearly as good, because of the need for nearly $800,000 in improvements over the next 6 years is almost matched exactly by the amount of expected CIAP revenues available to the EDA over the next 6 years. Normally, the Capital Improvements Committee would meet to review the plan and make a recommendation to the Board, but due to the timeliness of the submittal, it may be advisable to have the Board approve the plan as presented and get it into HUD. Therefore, modernization monies could be drawn down for 2001. The Capital Improvements Committee could begin meeting in July to work on the 2002 plan, which is due at the end of the year, and tackle the issue of financing the Parkview Villa North capital improvement projects. The approva. 1 would also enable staff to begin implementation of the 2001 program, which contains some necessary boiler work before the winter. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board approve the 2001 Capital Improvement Program for submittal to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and set up a meeting of the Capital Improvements Committee in July. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the 2001 Capital Improvements Plan and authorize submittal to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and furthermore, recommend the Board set a meeting of the Capital Improvements Committee for July 2001.

Background First, ! should briefly recap the actions taken at the time the EDA was created. On January 8, 1996 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 96-01 (the "Enabling Resolution"), which established the EDA. On the same date, the City Council. adopted the following additional resolutions: · Resolution No. 96-02, which transferred the control, authority and operation of all projects fi-om ~e HRA to the ED& md also approved a Pm'chase or S 'c ~ and EDA.. ~ erv~ e~ Agreement between the Ci.,ty. Resolution No. 96-03, appointing the initial EDA board of commissioners. Resolution No.96-04, reclassifying HRA employees as City employees under the Commun/ty Development Department. On January 29, 1996, the HRA passed its Resolution No. 96-01, which formally approved the transfer of all HRA contracts, program and property from the HXA to the EDA. The proper HRA officials were directed to execute quit claim deeds for all real property owned by the HRA. Also on that date, the new EDA held its organizational meeting, at which the EDA accepted transfer of all projects and property fi.om the HRA. I understand that deeds were never executed and delivered, so title to all ffR. A property remains in the name of the ffRA. I also understand that HRA Commissioners have continued to be appointed, with all council members serving as commissioners for terms that coincide with their councilmember terms. Randy Schumacher June 8, 2001 Page 2 of 3 Proposed Change I understand that the current proposal is to "reactivate" the HRA for the purposes of housing programs, but retain economic development and redevelopment activities under the jurisdiction of the EDA. This will permit the appointment of a public housing resident to HRA board of commissioners, as required under recent HUD regulations, and also allow the HRA to focus on the issues of liRA-owned housing facilities. In 1996, I-iRA employees were consolidated into the City Community Development Department. i assume that structure would remain, and that the City would provide staff and services to the HRA on a similar basis that services are provided to the EDA. If there is a desire to return some employees to the direct jurisdiction of the I-IRA, additional actions would be needed to accomplish that. The HRA transfer will require a number of steps to accomPlish, summarized as follows: Actions by the City Council City ordinance dividing powers. Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.094, the City may by ordinance divide the economic development, redevelopment and housing powers between the various development entities. I think the best course is to adopt an ordinance that allocates housing powers to the I-IRA and all other economic development and redevelopment powers to the EDA. The ordinance may also direct the re-transfer of housing programs and property fi:om the EDA to the HRA, which will override the transfers made under City Resolution 96-02. Modification to the Enabling Resolution. This action will clarify the EDA's powers, reflecting the limitations ina.nosed by the ordinance. The modification requires a public heating with at least 10 day's published notice. · Approval of revised Purchase of Services Agreement between City and EDA, and approval of similar agreement between City and HRA. · Approve appointment by mayor of additional commissioner to HRA in accordance with HUD regulations. Actions by EDA · Approve a resolution transferring homing programs and projects back to the HRA, and modifying the Purchase of Services Agreement with the City. · Modify EDA by-laws as needed to reflect new duties. SJB-198665vl CL205-3 Randy Schumacher June 8, 2001 Page 3 of 3 Actiona by HRA · Approve a resolution accepting transfer of projects, property and contracts, and approving purchase of services agreement with the City. · MOdify by-laws to reflect new duties and commissioner make-up. The above steps could be taken in this order: 1. Council adopts first reading of ordinance and calls public hearing for modification of Enabling Resolution. 2. Council holds public heating and adopts modified Enabling Resolution; and second reading of ordinance. All other Council actions could be taken at this meeting. 3. EDA and HRA meetings could be held on the same night as the second Council meeting, or at a later date. If the Council and EDA with to proceed with this strategy, I suggest that you prepare a meeting schedule and I will prepare the necessary documents. If you or Council or EDA members have questions, please let me know. Very Truly Yours, CC: Walt Fehst Dan Greemweig SJB- 198665v I CL205-3 Cher - A brief memo to the EDA Commissioners I apologize for not having my housing update copied for the June 26th meeting, so I have attached it for your information. If you have any questions about it, please contact me at 763-706-3672. Thanks for taking the time to review the update. HOUSING UPDATE By Mark Nagel On Tuesday, May 22ha, I met with Kevin Doyle, the new Business Banking Officer for US Bank, regarding the Business Revolving Loan Fund and the MI-IFA Home Mortgage Program. Taking the latter item first, Mr. Doyle agreed to work with the EDA on the next round of funding in 6 months, so The City of Columbia Heights would then have a bank that residents could make application for these low-interest loans within city boundaries for the first time since the program was instituted by MHFA. As for the BRLF, Mr. Doyle has worked with me in subsequent meetings on updating the guidelines for the fund, along with the application form, which have not been reviewed since 1992. Mr. Doyle is also working with the Olive Tree Restaurant and Market, 3700 Central Ave. NE on their expansion plans, which would involve using BRLF monies. Finally, we are working on bringing in representatives from MHFA and CEE to do a seminar for US Bank loan officers on housing programs in Columbia Heights in an effort to make greater use of these programs. Speaking of the MHFA Homebuyers Program, an update of the City of Columbia Heights website housing programs was completed with the help of Cher Bakken and Jean Kuehn. This has started to generate phone calls on the housing rehab programs, which I pass along to CEE, so take a look at the website when you have a chance. I have also attached a copy of the press release that I drained for the website and local papers on the MI-IFA Home Mortgage Program, as well as information brochures available to residents outside the Community Development Office. As of the end of May, Anoka County had made 6 loans totaling'S681,487 - one of which was in the City of Columbia Heights. As you may recall, Anoka County has an allocation of $6,870,095. The Anoka County Community Action Program is interested in using some of the County's allocation of HOME funds in Columbia Heights. I have attached a copy of the letter that I sent to ACCAP's Housing Coordinator, Donna Mattson, with a list of the city's scattered site TIF District homes that would be eligible for the HOME Program. She sent me a recent E-mail thanking me for the list and advising me that ACCAP was evaluating all of the sites. A new day care facility will be operating at Crest-view - Columbia Park, 1515 44th Avenue NE replacing Little Voyageurs Montessori School on August 3rd. The day care facility, which will have facilities for infants through preschool and before and after school care, is for low income families. It will be operated by "Free to Be", a non-profit organization that focuses on day care and transportation issues of low income families. As you can see from the attached letter to the City Council, the organization has asked the city for a representative to their Board - at the June 11th Council Meeting, Councilmember Marlaine Szurek was chosen to represent the city on the Board.. I have also obtained a copy of a video explaining the "Free To Be" concept, which I have passed along to Jean Kuehn for cable TV to introduce the organization to the community. Attached is a copy of their Fact Sheet for your information. o The Fannie Mae Foundation is embarking on a national campaign to educate consumers on lending practices by providing them with the information on how to shop for home loans and other credit options. I have requested fi'ee copies of these pamphlets - "Knowing and Understanding Your Credit and Opening the Door to a Home of Your Own", which I will make available to residents on the website and outside the Community Development Offices. If you like a copy, please contact me at 763-706-3672. On Friday, May 25th, I met with Anita Kottsick, Housing Administrator for Parkview Villa, to get a first-hand look at some of the needed capital improvements for the senior high rise buildings. A good, solid Capital Improvements Plan for Parkview Villa is needed to take advantage of existing modernization program dollars. This will be a focus of mine this summer. Speaking of public housing, on Friday, June 1, I contacted Judy Mclntyre of HUD the Davis-Bacon documentation for the elevator modernization program. As you recall, the EDA failed to meet the requirements on this project. I am awaiting her response as to what the EDA will need to do on these requirements. As you know, Habitat for Humanity is constructing 2 owner-occupied, single- family homes at 4237 and 4241 7th Street, which will be completed by August. I have been working with the neighbor at 4247 7th Street, who is upset by the side entry door coming out by their driveway. With the help of Ryan Karis of Habitat for Humanity, I have reached an acceptable solution to their concerns - a 6-foot privacy fence will be constructed along the driveway to the front lot line. The attached thank you letter and Letter of Agreement explains more. The Transition Block Housing Project is moving along very nicely. Framing of the 22-units of townhomes has begun and the contractor, Watson-Forsberg, pulled a building permit on Friday, May 25th for the senior housing. The value of the building permit for the senior housing was $51,222, which goes to the city's General Fund. I am also working with the City Attorney on a title problem related to the project. 10. The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency has announced a new, consolidated RFP process for their single-family homeownership, multi-family and tax credit programs. I have requested application materials to see if any of these programs would work in Columbia Heights. Real Estate Equities may be interested in working with the EDA on a project. Attached is additional information. 11. As you can see from the attached letter, an applicant for public housing at Parkview Villa was rejected and has now requested a hearing. If the applicant is not satisfied with my decision, he will come before a committee of the EDA to plead his case. The hearing was held on Tuesday, June 19th and I have 10 working days to make a decision. The applicant can appeal to the full EDA Board if they disagree with my decision. 12. I have started to look into the process for repairs and maintenance on the 2 parking ramps in the city. The first step is a review of the Development Agreements to determine the responsibilities of each of the parties. Attorney Dan Greensweig is drafting a legal opinion, then I will meet with each of the owners to discuss a CIP and financing plan for any needed improvements and repairs. 13. I have completed the statutory checklist required for the HOME grant for the purchase and redevelopment of 4401 Quincy Street NE and submitted it to Anoka County for approval. Their approval is necessary before this project can start. I am also working with the City Attorney on completing the Development Agreement for this project. 14. With the help of City Attorney, I have drafted the purchase Agreement for the Von Heidemann property located at 3718 Central Avenue South for $70,000. The Purchase would be paid for with CDBG funds. No response from Ms. Von Heidemann yet. A copy of the draft Purchase Agreement is attached. 15. I've been having some success in marketing the BRLF to businesses - the latest One is Errands and More, a vending machine business located at the comer of 40th Avenue and Van Buren Street. The owner would like to buy a city-owned lot 3942 Van Buren Street to expand his business, as well as remodel the present building PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release $6,870,095 for Home Mortgages Awarded to Anoka County Through MHFA's Minnesota City Participation Program The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency(MHFA) announced that Anoka County would receive $6,870,095 to provide homeownership oppommities in Anoka County, including Columbia Heights residents, through the agency's Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP). The initial interest rate for this year's program is 6.05% and the mortgage offered is a 30-year, fixed rate loan. Columbia Heights is one of the communities in Anoka County participating in the 2001 MCPP program. Now in its 1 lth year, the Minnesota Cities Participation Program provides low-interest loans to qualified first-time homebuyers who meet established income and house price limits. Residents may also be eligible for MttFA's Homeownership Assistance Fund (HAF) which offers an interest free, second mortgage to assist first-time homebuyers with downpayment and/or monthly payment costs. Mike Haley, Homes Division Director, announced "The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency is pleased to assist Anoka County residents, including those in Columbia Heights, in providing this outstanding oppommity to local first-time homebuyers." Haley went on to explain, "Minnesotans can apply for a very low interest rate first mortgage and together with the availability of the Homeownership Assistance Fund be provided with one of the best affordable home finance packages anywhere." In Columbia Heights, funding for the Minnesota City Participation Program may be used for the purchase of a new or existing home. The price limit for a new home is $134,257 and for an existing home is $175,591. To obtain a list of local participating lenders, homebuyers can contact the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency at 651-296-8215 or the City of Columbia Heights Community Development Office at 763-706-3672.

The privacy fence will be placed one foot from the edge of the Strom's driveway from a point beginning at the Strom's garage to the front of the foundation at the Habitat for Humanity home, as per the attached drawing. The privacy fence will be 6 feet high and constructed of durable, weather-treated wood such that the finished side faces the Strom's property. The privacy fence will be opaque; that is, constructed such that neither resident can see the other's side door. The maintenance of the fence will be the responsibility of the owner of the Habitat for Humanity home. The privacy fence, which is to be constructed and paid for by Habitat for Humanity, will be completed by Friday, September 14, 2001.
