BACKGROUND: The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (ffRA) budget is funded by the HRA levy. The proposed budget for 2003 is $111,648. This represents less than a 1% or $54 decrease below last year's budget orS111,702. The proposed budget includes expenses related to: The Sheffield Redevelopment Project Community Development Administration Total 2003 HRA Levy $77,000 $34,648 $111,648 Sheffield Redevelopment Project - To assist in the redevelopment of the Sheffield block, the City provided a $999,916 inter-fund loan using funds from the sewer construction fund and the liquor store fund. The HRA levy is pledged to repay this loan. As of December 31,2001, the inter-fund loan balance is $689,720. The I-IRA levy cash balance to pay the inter- fired loan is $560,559, leaving an inter-fund net loan balance of $129,160. Sheffield Inter-fund Loan Repayment as of December 31,2001 Inter-Fund Loan Balance (As of 12/31/01) I-IRA Levy Cash Balance Available to Pay Inter-Fund Loan Inter-Fund Loan Net Balance $999,916 -$310,196 =$689,720 -$560,559 =$129,160 Instead of using the HRA to reduce the loan, the HRA levy has been set aside and the tax increment collected on the project has been used to reduce the loan balance. In light of TIF shortfalls in other districts, the HRA levy cash balance provides the City with the assurance the inter-fund loan will be repaid in the event the TIF revenue falls short. Continuing the HRA levy for years 2003 and 2004 will result in the loan being fully repaid at the end of 2004. At this time, the HRA could continue the levy and appropriate these funds for important and needed redevelopment projects. Community Development Operating Expenses - The remaining $34,648 of the HRA levy is transferred into the Community Development Revenue Fund, and is used to pay for costs related to community development administration. HRA Levy-The proposed HRA levy for 2003 is $111,648. This is the maximum the HRA may levy, and represents a 1% or $54 decrease below last year's levy orS111,702. The HRA levy costs a homeowner with the average taxable market value home of $116,200, $16.73 annually or $1.39 monthly. Every additional $25,000 of taxable value increases the annual cost $3.60 annually. Please find additional budget information in the 2003 proposed budget book.

At the July 16th HRA meeting, the Board approved years 1-5 of the 15-year CIP completed by TKDA for both Parkview Villa North and South. The report named the Parkview Villa North re-roof as the most important priority. On August 5t~, the HRA selected RHA Architects to prepare plans and specs for the project with a bid opening date of Thursday, September 12 at 2 PM. Mr. Bill Holman completed the spec package and a pre-bid conference was held on Monday, August 26th for all interested roofing contractors. While the ad did specify that this meeting was mandatory, steps were taken to accommodate potential bidders that could not make the meeting, individual meetings were held with contractors that requested it, and at their convenience, in an effort to increase the number of bids. At the bid opening, the City received two bids for consideration. (See bid summary sheet) These bids are both considerably higher than anticipated in the Capital Improvement Plan because of the cost of the metal flashing and Davis-Bacon regulations. The City's roofing consultant, Mr. Bill Holman, is negotiating with the low bidder (Omni Roofing), in order to better reflect a more affordable project. It will include the reduction of ductwork replacement or an adjustment in quality of material. Based on the recommendation of our consultant, Omni Roofing is the lowest responsible bidder for the work. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends acceptance of the bids and approval of the lowest responsible bid from Omni Roofing for the replacement of the Parkview Villa North roof and the repair of the roof area connecting the North and South buildings. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to accept bids and approve the bid from Omni Roofing for the replacement of the Parkview Villa North roof and the repair of the roof area connecting the North and South buildings, subject to the City's roofing consultant negotiating a lower bid from Omni to reflect a more affordable project, and approval as to the form of contract by the City Attorney, and furthermore, authorize the Chair and Executive Director to enter into an agreement for the same.

The purpose of the plan is to complete a feasible redevelopment plan that will include a building program, general design plan, development phasing, and required public financial participation that is based on current and future market demand. A Community Development Block Grant will fund the majority of the project cost and completion of the document will occur before the end of the year. 40th and University (Priority #3) The underground tanks have been removed and the staff is preparing to solicit bids for the demolition of the gas station located at 3955 University Ave. Staff expects to close on this property probably sometime in November or early December. Evaluate Options for Parkview Villa (Priority The capital improvement plan is complete and will be presented to HRA Board Member at their October 15 meeting for review, comment and approval. 37th and Central (Priority #7) Recently staff met with two different developers that are interested in redeveloping this site. One of the developers is working on behalf of the owner of Puerto Vallerta, (the old Bridgemans building). Staff expects to meet again with both developers in the next two weeks and will keep Commissioners and Board Members informed. Staff is preparing to solicit proposals for the demolition of the two City-owned homes.

HOUSING UPDATE Housing Programs Promoted Two cable TV programs were filmed this month - one promoting the First-time Homebuyers Program and the other highlighting the Housing Resource Center and the new Rehab Incentive Program. These were the 3ra and 4th cable TV promotions on housing programs for Columbia Heights residents in the past 6 months. Thanks to Special Projects Coordinator Jean Keuhn for all of her help. Because of these programs, the Community Development Department receives many phone calls from interested residents. Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation-Housing Resource Center The Housing Resource Center held their Open House for their new North Metro Service Center in Shoreview. It is a restored farmhouse at 1170 County Road I. The City of Columbia Heights will continue to be served out of the Northeast Office located at 909Main Street NE in Minneapolis. Housing Websites All three websites are good sources of information on housing programs and issues. www.knowledqeplex.or.q www.fanniemaefoundation.or.q www. mhponline.or._q 2 2002 PHA Plan The 2002 Annual PHA Plan was approved by HUD on August 15th. This means that another $128,506 will now be available for capital improvements to Parkview Villa North. In addition, the HRA is now current on PHA Plans due to HUD; however, there will not be much time to rest, as the 2003 Annual Plan process begins at the October HRA meeting. HUD suggests budgeting the same amounts as 2002 for 2003, as Congress has not yet passed a budget for FY 2003. Early indications indicated a possible 15% or $19,200 reduction in HUD capital improvement funds. Habitat Homes Matt Soucek of Habitat for Humanity states that two of the three homes have now been closed. The sales price for the home at 3913 Polk Street was $167,000, while 4401 Quincy Street sold for $155,000. The other half of the twinhome on Quincy Street is scheduled to close in September. Habitat for Humanity is "on track" to meeting its contract obligations with the HRA in a timely fashion. 325 Summit Street The City will be accepting bids on the sale of this single-family residence. The City will accept bids until 11:30 a.m., October 9, 2002 at which time the bids publicly opened and read aloud. 3
