BUSINESS ITEMS
5. Amend and Restate the Bylaws of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Columbia
Heights, MN on Resolution 2016 -02
Hogeboom explained that following the sale of Parkview Villa, quarterly meetings of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority will no longer be necessary. However, the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority must continue to exist in order to facilitate and process past business associated with the
property.
The HRA attorney has advised that the HRA amend its bylaws to enable Commissioner membership to
be comprised of the Mayor and the City Council Members. Further, the proposed bylaws will reflect
that one regular annual meeting of the HRA will be held on the first Monday in January at Columbia
Heights City Hall.
If the HRA votes to adopt the amended bylaws, Chair Tammera Diehm and Commissioner Rheta
Nelson will effectively no longer serve on the HRA. Staff is grateful for their service and thanks them
both for their time and commitment to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority.

Staff recommends approval of the Restated Bylaws of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of
Columbia Heights, Minnesota as presented.
Ouestions /comments:
Nawrocki noted that the annual meeting is scheduled for the first Monday in January. He said this
would mean that possible outgoing council members would be attending the meeting prior to new
members being sworn in at the first official council meeting in January. Hogeboom stated that any
action that would take place at these meetings would probably be informational matters that previously
happened, so it would be appropriate to have the member who had served during the previous year to
be at the meeting. However, he said it could be changed if the City Council so chooses to do it later in
the year so that officers are chosen after the new members are sworn in.
Schmitt said that the first meeting is when new members are usually sworn in and officers elected, so it
might be appropriate to do it later.
Diehm stated that the bylaws allow flexibility so a different date can be set each year as needed.
Everyone agreed to adopt the bylaws as presented as long as it allows the flexibility.
Motion by Peterson, seconded by Murzyn, to waive the reading of Resolution 2016 -02, there being
ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTIONPASSED.
Motion by Peterson, seconded by Murzyn, to adopt Resolution 2016 -02, amending and restating the

Motion by Schmitt, seconded by Buesgens, to elect officers as follows:
Chair- Murzyn
Vice Chair- Williams
Secretary /Treasurer- Buesgens
All ayes. Motion Passed.
5. Approval of Modification of Note Terms for Parkview Villa
HRA Attorney Martha Ingram introduced this item. Ingram explained that the HRA sold
Parkview Villa to Aeon in September, 2015. At that time, the majority of the purchase price
was financed through a promissory note from Aeon to the HRA. The 30 year term of the note
matured no later than September 30, 2045. Attorney Ingram further explained that the bulk of
the financing is through Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA), and that the HRA
agreed to subordinate its interest in the facility to MHFA. Now that construction improvements
are complete at the facility, Aeon is taking out its construction loan with a permanent loan from
MHFA. As such, MHFA requires both the Note and the Partnership Note be amended,
extending their final maturity to December 2047.
Chair Murzyn asked if the Board had any questions. Vice Chair Williams inquired about the
nature of the original sale, as he was not serving on the HRA at the time of the sale. Assistant
Treasurer Kloiber explained that the sale transaction was constructed in a way in which the
HRA would not receive funds from the Note until the Notes maturity. Assistant Treasurer
Kloiber indicated that the bulk of the proceeds must be paid to the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) at that time. Assistant Treasurer Kloiber pointed out that the
HRA had retained the fund balance associated with Parkview Villa South, which amounts to a
sum slightly under $1 million.
Commissioner Buesgens inquired about how the former Parkview Villa South funds can be
used. Attorney Ingram stated that HUD requires the funds can be used for either housing or
certain economic development activities. Deputy Executive Director Hogeboom stated that the
Economic Development Authority will discuss this matter in further detail at a later meeting.
Commissioner Schmitt acknowledged that the City continues to receive revenue from a lease of
a cellular telephone tower on the roof of Parkview Villa.
Chair Murzyn asked if there were any further questions or comments. Hearing none, Murzyn
requested a motion.
Motion by Buesgens, seconded by Schmitt to adopt HRA Resolution 2017 -01, Approving the
Extension of the Term of Certain Promissory Notes in Connection with Parkview, Villa.
Hogeboom stated that there are currently no additional HRA meetings scheduled in 2017.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 pm.

HARTERED
MEMORANDUM
To: Housing and Redevelopment Authority for Columbia Heights, Minnesota
From: Martha higram, Kennedy & Graven
Re: Parkview Villa Matters
Date: January 31, 2017
On September 24, 2015, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority for Columbia Heights,
Minnesota (the "Authority") sold the HUD- supported multifamily rental housing facility known as
Parkview Villa (the "Facility") to Aeon, a nonprofit housing organization ( "Aeon "). A portion of the
purchase price for the Facility was deferred by means of a promissory note in the amount of $6,585,000
given to the Authority by Aeon (the "Aeon Note "), secured by a collateral assignment (the "Assignment ")
of a promissory note (the "Partnership Note ") and mortgage (the "Mortgage ") given to Aeon by its
limited partner, Parkview Limited Partnership (the "Partnership "), which is the entity that actively
manages the Facility. The Aeon Note does not bear interest. However, the Partnership Note bears
interest at the rate of 2.64% per annum.
The Partnership Note is structured as a cash -flow note and is subject to the terms of a Master
Subordination Agreement between Aeon, the Partnership, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, and
the Authority (the "Subordination Agreement "). Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, interest
payments are only due and payable on the Partnership Note if there is sufficient Cash Flow (defined as the
excess of any income to the Partnership remaining after Partnership expenses are made) after all required
payments under all senior loans are made. To date, no Net Cash Flow has been available to make interest
payments on the Partnership Note.
At the time Aeon executed the Aeon Note and Assignment, the stated intent of Aeon and the
Partnership was that any interest payments actually made on the Partnership Note would be retained by
Aeon and used to support services and operations benefiting the Facility, particularly Resident
Connections, Aeon's in -house support service team. According to an Aeon representative, Resident
Connections provides community engagement and eviction prevention services to residents of the
Facility, as well as connections to community services. In addition to the support for Resident
Connections, interest payments would also potentially be used to support the general operations of the
Facility, such as maintenance and repair and additional staffing needs. Aeon discussed this use of the
hypothetical interest payments with Authority staff and legal counsel at the time the Facility was
conveyed.
491940v1 MNI CL160 -82
Aeon's legal counsel recently approached Authority staff and Kennedy & Graven with a request
to inform the Authority that as currently drafted, paragraph 7 of the Assignment provides that if and to the
extent that Aeon receives payments of interest under the Partnership Note, those payments will be held in
trust for the benefit of the Authority, and will be paid over to the Authority to be applied to the principal
payable under the Aeon Note. Given the stated intent of Aeon to retain any interest payments from the
Partnership Note for the uses outlined above, counsel to Aeon believes that this provision was the result
of an error in drafting of the Assignment. Counsel to Aeon has requested that the Authority agree to enter
into an Amended and Restated Collateral Assignment of Note and Mortgage, which would modify the
language of paragraph 7 so that Aeon would be allowed to collect interest payments under the Partnership
Note as originally contemplated.
The proposed Amended and Restated Collateral Assignment, with the proposed changes
highlighted in blue, is attached as Exhibit A to this memo. The Board of Commissioners will be
requested to adopt a resolution approving the Amended and Restated Collateral Assignment at its meeting
on February 6, 2017.
If you have any questions about this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at the number
above.

collaterally assign to HRA Borrower's right, title and interest in and to (a) that certain
Promissory Note dated September 24, 2015, made by Parkview Limited Partnership, a
Minnesota limited partnership ( "Partnership ") to the order of Borrower in the original principal
amount of $6,585,000 (as it may be amended, restated, replaced or otherwise modified from time
to time, the "Partnership Note "); and (b) that certain Mortgage, dated September 24, 2015,
executed and delivered by Partnership and filed for record on or about the date hereof, with
Anoka County Office of Registrar of Titles and Office of the Recorder, securing the Partnership
Note and covering, among other things, real estate legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto
and hereby made a part hereof (as it may be amended, restated, replaced or otherwise modified
from time to time, the "Partnership Mortgage ").
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, for and in consideration of the
sum of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower agrees as follows:
1. Collateral Assignment. Borrower hereby collaterally assigns and transfers to

obligation, covenant, condition and agreement to be performed by Partnership under any of the
Pledged Documents.
491940v1 M II CL160 -82
3. Actions Arising out of the Pledged Documents. Borrower shall, at Borrower's
sole cost and expense, appear in and defend any dispute, action or proceeding against Borrower
or HRA arising under, growing out of or in any manner connected with or affecting any of the
Pledged Documents, or the obligations, duties or liabilities of Borrower or Partnership
thereunder, and shall pay all costs and expenses of HRA, including attorneys' fees (prior to trial,
at trial and on appeal) in connection with any such dispute, action or proceeding in which HRA
may appear or with respect to which it may otherwise incur costs or expenses, whether or not
HRA prevails therein.
4. HRA's Right to Perform. Should Borrower fail to make any payment or to do any
act as herein provided, then HRA may, but without obligation to do so, without notice or demand
to or upon Borrower, and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereof, make or do the
same in such manner and to such extent as HRA may deem necessary or desirable to protect the
security hereof, including specifically, without limiting its general powers, appearing in and
defending any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or
powers of HRA, and observing, performing and discharging all or any of the obligations,
covenants and agreements of Borrower in the Pledged Documents. In exercising any such
powers, HRA may pay its costs and expenses, employ counsel and incur and pay reasonable
attorneys' fees (prior to trial, at trial and on appeal). Borrower hereby grants to HRA an
irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to perform all of the acts and things
provided for in this section as Borrower's agent and in Borrower's name.
5. No Modification Without Consent. Each of Borrower and Partnership agrees not
to modify, amend, extend, waive, subordinate or in any manner alter the terms of either of the
Partnership Note or the Partnership Mortgage, or reduce the indebtedness secured thereby; not to
waive, excuse or condone any default by the other party under either of the Partnership Note or
the Partnership Mortgage; and not to in any manner release or discharge the other party of or
from any obligation, covenant, condition or agreement by Partnership or Borrower, as applicable,
to be performed under either of the Partnership Note or the Partnership Mortgage. Any attempt
on the part of Borrower or Partnership to exercise any such right, power or authority without the
prior written consent of HRA shall be a nullity and shall be a default hereunder.

warrants to HRA that:
a. Borrower has good right and lawful authority to grant, transfer, set over and
assign the Pledged Documents to HRA.

behalf of Borrower so as to constitute the valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable

agreement, which might prevent HRA from operating under any of the terms and conditions

the terns of this Agreement in such form and substance as HRA, in its sole discretion, may
determine.

fail to abide by the terms and conditions of any of the HRA Loan Documents;
C. a petition commencing a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or
any similar state law is filed by or against Borrower; or a receiver, custodian, assignee, or trustee

Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under the Pledged Documents subject to the terms
and conditions hereof; make, execute, enforce, modify, alter, cancel, release or satisfy the
Partnership Mortgage, in its own name or in the name of Borrower; and/or pursue all other
remedies available at law or in equity, including all remedies available under the Uniform

Borrower's agent and in Borrower's name.
b. If any Event of Default shall occur, then HRA may, at its option, declare the
secured obligations due and payable as set forth in the Note and other HRA Loan Documents,
and, in addition to making available to HRA any remedies for default herein set forth, such Event
of Default shall, at HRA's option, constitute and be deemed to be an event of default under the
Note and other HRA Loan Documents, entitling HRA to every and all rights and remedies
therein contained, in addition to those rights and remedies herein set forth, without regard to the
adequacy of security for the indebtedness secured hereby, the commission of waste or the
insolvency of Borrower.
10. Release Upon Payment in Full. Upon the payment in full of the Note, this
Assignment shall become and be void and of no further effect and, upon request of Borrower,

HRA RESOLUTION NO. 2017-02
RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDED AND
RESTATED COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF NOTE AND
MORTGAGE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TERMS OF
CONVEYANCE OF PARKVIEW VILLA
BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Commissioners ( "Board ") of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the "Authority ") as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The Authority previously owned and operated a public housing facility known as
Parkview Villa (the "Facility") within the City of Columbia Heights (the "City").
1.02. The Authority and Aeon (the "Purchaser") executed a certain Amended and
Restated Purchase and Development Contract, dated as of July 28, 2015 (the "Agreement "),
pursuant to which the Authority conveyed the Facility to the Purchaser and received a Promissory
Note for the payment of the purchase price (the "Note "), secured by the Collateral Assignment of
Note and Mortgage dated as of September 24, 2015 (the "Assignment "), which pledges the
Inclusive Promissory Note (the "Partnership Note ") from Parkview Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership ") to the Purchaser, as well as a mortgage from the Partnership to the Purchaser.
1.03. Although the intent of the parties was to allow any interest payments under the
Partnership Note to be retained by the Purchaser and used to pay operating and other costs of the
Facility, the terms of the Assignment incorrectly provide that any interest due and payable under the
Partnership Note shall be held in trust by the Purchaser for the benefit of the Authority.
1.04. The Purchaser has requested that the Authority agree to an Amended and Restated
Collateral Assignment of Note and Mortgage (the "Amended Assignment"), which clarifies that
interest payments under the Partnership Note may be retained by the Purchaser and applied to
operating costs of the Facility. The HRA's legal counsel has reviewed the Amended Assignment
in the form presented to the HRA and on file with the HRA's Executive Director.
Section 2. Amended Assignment Approved.
2.01. The Amended Assignment is hereby approved.
2.02. The Chair and Executive Director are hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the
Authority the Amended Assignment in substantially the form presented to the Board, subject to
changes that do not materially alter the substance of the transaction and that are approved by the
Chair and Executive Director, provided that execution of the Amended Assignment by such
officials shall be conclusive evidence of approval.
