REFERENCE & BACKGROUND During the August 8, 2018 EDA Regular Meeting, the EDA approved a pilot program for the Downtown Fa�ade Improvement Grant Program for a total of $200,000. Property owners on the north side of Block 35 are eligible. The goal of the program is to "encourage investment in commercial and retail buildings in the Downtown area in order to maintain the economic viability of the City and the Downtown/Central Community District." To date, City Staff have held an initial meeting with Block 35 property owners to discuss the program. Per the EDA guidelines, property owners were encouraged to submit a letter of interest to the City. City Staff received six letters from property owners plus one property owner that voiced interest in the program, but did not submit a letter of interest. The program gathered 70% interest on the block with one property owner owning the remaining three parcels. City staff inet with each of the six property owners and the EDA's consulting company - the Cuningham Group - to discuss possible building fa�ade improvements. It was an open dialogue to meet the needs of the property owners and the goals of the Small Area Study. Staff have received renderings completed by the Cuningham Group and would like the EDA to review and discuss the drawings. The EDA should direct staff of any changes they would like to see to the renderings. Per discussion of the EDA, staff will direct the Cuningham Group to make any revisions as necessary and then meet with property owners again to discuss proposed renovations and apply for funds. A flow chart of the remaining tasks for the program are attached to the report. C. SUPPORTING DATA A. Renderings, dated: 12/2018 B. Flow Chart C.

Consideration of Discussion of 2019 EDA Workplan (JT) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: At the November EDA Workshop Meeting the EDA suggested that a list of questions be developed that can be used to guide future discussion meeting with CM�Il' staff regarding the concept of a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) proj ect in Monticello and/or pursuit of Small Cities Development Program (SCDP) grant funds from MN-DEED for a housing rehabilitation program. The list of questions is attached as Exhibit A. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: No Motion needed; Discussion only C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: None; Discussion only. Staff is asking the EDA to discuss questions and add more in order to establish a framework that will help in better understanding the complete field of opportunities and challenges and players related to housing activities such as a LIHTC proj ect or a owner occupied rehabilitation program. D. SUPPORTING DATA: A. Draft List of Questions for CM�Il' Discussion Questions for CMHP: 1. Explain in more detail the tax credit housing program process/application. a. What are awards based on? What are "points" awarded for? 2. Explain who the target or qualified population is for the rehab and tax credit programs? Income limits, etc —family vs single? Understanding is that 100% are income qualified. 3. Is the tax credit housing development program available only for rental projects? Would CMHP be interested in an owner-occupied in Monticello? 4. Given what CMHP understands about the housing stock in Monticello, is there a feel about whether rehab or tax credit program would be more successful? 5. What projects have the best chance of success in a tax credit housing project (Redevelopment? New development?) 6. Is there an ideal size of project area for rehab project? 7. If the City were to offer either a) match or b) companion rehab loan program with city dollars, is one better than the other, both? 8. Can CMHP do a deeper dive into the value/block area info to match up with windshield survey to come up with "most ideal" project area? 9. Photo examples of projects? Other: City staff needs to provide housing funds available for use on a CMHP partner project. EDA Agenda: 12/12/18 5.
