City Administrator Eidem noted that with respect to basic policy guidelines, he had recently talked to Jim Holmes of Holmes E. Graven, Attorneys, and had been informed that sample guidelines simply did not exist because of the wide variety of projects that may be proposed and, guidelines had never been initiated. Eidem noted that were the guidelines too stringent, they may become self defeating and destroy t1w attractiveness of using T.I.F. in Montic,•Iln. The rest of the HRA concurred with that and affirmed their need to be flexible. Several members commented, however, on the type of paojoct where the HRA would buy land from one individual at his askiral price and then sell it Wck to the same individual at a much lwer price, thereby creating capital for the developer. All members agreed that purchases of this sort, while they may be advantageous to both the developer and the City, and may be perfectly legitimate, did give the general appear- ance of collusion. It was suggested that in a proposal of this nature, the land be made available to any buyer through a public offering and that, of eourso, the seller be aware of such an offer- ing prior to his selling the land to the HRA. Members felt that this would demonstrate that their action wan in the best interest of the City, and would make the developer more cautious in proposing this typo of a land transaction. A motion by Schrupp, seconded by Reeve and carried Unanimously that any lard proposed for sale and repurchased by the same individual met be placed on a public offer- ing prior to the resale. F.idem reported to the HRA that Rick Wrigley. owner of Late 1 through 6, Block 1, Commercial Court, had earlier expressed an interest in i.elling Lots 1, 2, 5 and 6. Members agreed that it would be a good uito for commercial highway development, would be inconformenco with the zoning ordinance and would he worth investigation. Mhito noted that perhaps the HRA could retain some typo of option on the land and then begin to openly market the land. A motion by Reeve, second- ed by Schrupp and carried unanimounly to direct Eidem to begin nogo- tiations with Rick Longley for an option on Lots 1, 2, 5 and G, Block 1, Commercial Court, City of Monticello. Status of negotiations to hu reported to the full HRA at the Aprli meeting. There lying no other business, Chairman white adjourned the meeting. homao Eidom City Administrator - 2 - MINUTES MONTICELLO HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Wednesday, March 3, 1993 - 7:00 p.m. City Hall MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairperson Al Larson, Ben Smith, and Tom St. Hilaire.

Chairperson Larson called the HRA meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. COFSIQERATI0,1 J'0 HEAR SIENIQ$ 1L0USZJJG DBVELO?09FT 1PROJEC$ C0PCEPg AS PREPARED AND PRESENTED BY BRAD LARSON AND SKIP SORENSEN . Mr. Brad Larson presented background information to the HRA members referencing hie previous experience in senior housing development and of his conversation with the local Hospital District who expressed an identified need; howeve r, uncor►firmed need for congregate or assisted -living senior housing. Mr. Brad Larson plans to make a concept presentation to the Hospital Board in March. Under the Farmers Home Administration (PmHA) Program, the qualifying annual moderate income for singles is 827,000 and for couples is 830,000. Low -moderate income applicants receive priority over above -moderate income applicants; however, once a resident no one is evicted. One bedroom uni to are SBO eq ft and have a value of less than 840,000 per unit for land and building. Subject to a market study, the proposed 40 unit three-story congregate senior housing facility would consist mostly of one -bedroom units with kitchens. The facility would be served by a bell system to the emergency room, an on-site caretaker, and an elevator. The 6,000 eq ft commons area, 20% of the gross base, would cone Set of a community, dining, and warming -kitchen room and a laundry room on each floor. Additional services are add-on costs. Mr. Brad Larson reported that the Broadway Square, River Park View, Ridgemont, and Cedarcrest subsidized -senior housing apartments are full. HRA MINUTES MARCH 3, 1993 The site proposed by Mr. Brad Larson requires purchase and demolition of the three structures to the west of the Hospital District Ambulance building along East Broadway. With the anticipated purchase/demolition costs and FmHA site appraisal of $100,000, Mr. Brad Larson anticipates a financial site gap of $180,000. Projected annual tax increment is $25,000 on the proposed $450,000 senior housing land and building. Time -line for application, funding, and construction Is two years. Mr. Brad Larson would need a letter from the HRA verifying secured site purchase options. Mr. Brad Larson indicated there would be no relocation costs and requests control of the demolition. An FmHA appraisal is also necessary. The group looked into the future and the potential of a Monticello Senior Campus at the proposed site. The campus would include a new senior center and additional market -rate and/or subsidized senior housing facilities. The area identified was to the east of Dayton Street between East Broadway and East River Street. Mr. Brad Larson suggested the HRA purchase the ambulance building and relocate it to the east of the Monticllo Clinic. Brad accepted the HRA's request to inquire of the acquisition costs associated with the properties identified for the potential senior campus. Mr. O'Neill indicated that the PZ -M zoning was appropriate. The NRA thanked Mr. Brad Larson, Sorensen, and Schoenecker for their impressive presentation. The HRA elected not to endorse a developer at this time in order to honor its invitation and hear a presentation by the Guardian Angels Foundation. Koropchak informed members that the Foundation, a non-profit organization, does pay property taxes at a lower -rate similiar to a limited -partnership; however, a non-profit organization does not pay income tax. The Guardian Angels Board of Directors will meet on March 24 and review the HRA's Invitation for a presentation. The HRA was encouraged by the local Hospital District's interest to provide services to a proposed senior facility. Mr. Brad Larson indicated the Foundation was a fine, well-run organization; however, stated it is ruled by a Board. HRA recommended a letter be sent to Mr. Brad Larson stating their appreciation of his time and that the HRA was very impressed with his presentation and concept. Additionally, since the developer indicated the proposed senior housing project would cashflow, the HRA wanted to be on public record as viewing the project as viable. The City Council Is be advised and invited to the next presentation. Page 2 HRA MINUTES MARCH 3, 1993 3. CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE THE FEBRUARY 4. 1993 HRA MINUTES. Tom St. Hilaire made a motion to approve the February 4, 1993 HRA minutes. Seconded by Ben Smith and with no additions or corrections the minutes were approved as written. CONSIDERATION TO,ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ?REPARATION OF TAR INCREMENT FINANCE PLAN FOR ECONOMIC DISTRICT NO. 1-15 AND REOUESTING CITY COUNCIL TO CALL FOR A PUBLIC REARING (Custom Canopv) . The HRA agreed to Mr. O'Neill's suggestion that the annual $5,000 pay-as-you-go TIF assistance be increased to $6,000 annually if the completed project consist of a more extensive, greater than required in I-2 zoning, landscape treatment along Fallon Avenue and/or consist of a 50% contrasting exterior - wall material treatment on the Fallon Avenue and Dundas Road sides of the proposed metal facility. The increase was suggested as an incentive for the developer, thereby, encouraging an aesthetically -pleas Ing transition from the I-2 to BC zoning across the street. Mr. Pelstring's projections indicated an annual tax surplus of $3,600 after the Administration Expense, TIF Penalty, and TIF payments were deducted. Ben Smith made a motion to adopt the resolution authorizing preparation of the Tax Increment Finance Plan for Economic District No. 1-15 and requesting the City Council call for a public hearing. Said public hearing date to be April 12, 1993. Tom St. Hilaire seconded the notion and with no further discussion, the motion passed unanimously. CONSIDjEpATX0K__Z0 RgyLgW JUOFM16 _I0y ON THE RICHFIELD jtEDISCOVER CONCEPT AND TO AUTHORIZE FURTHER DIRECTION, At the February 4 HRA meeting, Koropchak reported on the Richfield Rediscover Program stating the HRA markets and offers to purchase substandard homes at fair market value, demolishe the homes, and sella the land at fair market value to an interested developer. The developer agrees to construct a new home based on Richfield's HRA requirements and the home Is made available to first-time home buyers. The Monticello HRA requested additional information. On February 12, Koropchak received the additional information from Mr. Bruce Nordquist. And on February 16, Koropchak mailed HRA members a copy of the Richfield -Rediscover General Page 3 HRA MINUTES MARCH 3, 1993 Program Summary, Building Sites Available, Program Process Summary, List of Interested Builders, and Marketing Brochure for review. Mr. Nordquist indicated his willingness to meet with the Monticello HRA. The Richfield Rediscover Program is located within a 1990 created Redevelopment or Housing District project area. The HRA requested further research on marketing costs and if the concept applied to rental unite prior to any HRA decision or a visit from Mr. Nordquist. 6. CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW INFORMATION ON THE MINNESTOA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY PROGRAM AND TO AUTHORIZE FURTHER DIRECTION. Based on the MRA's February 6 request for further information, Koropchak reported that the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) funding application deadline for the Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP) was April 15, 1993. The MHFA sells mortgage revenue bonds on behalf of local governments to assist them in meeting locally identified housing needs. Under the program, local governments may adjust income and house price limits and implement other administrative requirements. For Wright County, the maximum adjusted gross household income for newly constructed homes is 938,500 and for one, two-family existing homes is $34,500, and the maximum acquisition cost for newly constructed one -family, existing two-family homes Is $95,000 and for one -family existing homes Is $85,000. The program is for first-time home buyers with interest rates of approximately l% to 1.5% below market mortgage interest rates. After completion of MHFA application for funding, the program requires very little administrative time as the committed lending institutions services the first-time home buyer's loan application and closing. In Monticello, Liberty Savings Is a committed lender through the use of Wright County funds. Koropchak reported that in the last year the HRA office has received an increase of telephone calls inquiring to the availability low -moderate housing. Additionally, two local lending institutions expressed an interest in the program. As stated last month, the program serves as an excellent public relations tool, requires little administrative time, local governments may set requirements, and the funds would be allocated specifically for the City of Monticello. Page 4 HRA MINUTES MARCH 3, 1993 The HRA inquired of the cost, a modest processing fee of $100 to $600 for allotment size of $2$0,000 to $3,250,000, respectively. Mr. O'Neill suggested the program may not be as popular today because of low market mortgage interest rates. The HRA was not interested in the program as they saw no need. They encouraged interested lending institutions to apply and pay the processing fee. 7. CONSIDERATION TO REVIEW THE YEAR-END SUMMARY OF THE HRA FUND AND TIF -DEBT SERVICE FUNDS. City Administrator Wolfsteller reviewed the year-end summaries with HRA members noting deficits in IXI District due to HRA loan payback to city, Remmele District due to $55,000 excess incentive, and Shingobee District due to preparation fee. He would need to check on the reason for the Martle District deficit. The HRA inquired of the dollars available for spending? Mr. Wolfeteller stated his answer now is $135,093. He would need to project the revenue and the outstanding bond debt for each district by the life duration before stating future spending dollars. The HRA requested this information and requested to review the proposed annual HRA budget in July prior to submission to the City Council. Mr. Wolfet eller informed HRA members that the City's Liability coverage was $1.6 million, renewed annually. 8. CONSIpERAT ION OF PROSPECT UPDAj;'ES: a) Wilson Tool Company - The company has made no site location decisions, Monticello remains in the running. b) All -Temp Distribution - A commitment from Mr. John Holman is based on the future availability of rail. A meeting was held with the Hoglund family regarding the need to develop public improvements. c) Recreational Parte and Equipment- Koropchak reported she had informed the company of the HRA's decision to assist the project through the TIB pay-as—you-go method based on the generated increment of the warehouse/ cat olog area only.

Reference and Backaround: In a conversation with Carol Mills, she reported that she and Barb Schwientek would be meeting in the afternoon of April 2. Carol's meeting on March 26 was with the Health Service Committee. The Foundation's Finance Committee will meet on April la and the Parent Board on April 21. Carol requested I contact the HUD office regarding HUD allocated dollars and date of the scheduled training session. In conversation with Cindy Wenz, Minnesota -HUD office, they anticipate notification of allocated dollars in mid-April for project funding in 1993. Actual construction is from 18 to 24 months after funding approval. No date has been set for the training session and the application is due one month after. Additionally, Carol inquired if the HRA has earmarked any particular sites for consideration. It is my recommendation that the HRA extend the time and allow the Foundation to make a senior housing presentation at the HRA' a May S meeting becauoe of potential new options which may result from the above scheduled meetings. Enclosed you will find a copy of the HRA's letter to Mr. Brad Larson, Mr. Brad Larson's letter to the HRA, and the Information provided the City Council. Page 1 250 East Broadway P. O.

The HRA was very impressed with your project concept and because the presentation included a projected positive cashflow, the NRA is on record as viewing a congregate or aeaieted-living housing concept as a viable project to pursue. Prior to HRA endorsement of a developer or project, the HRA elects to honor its invitation and hear the second identified developer's presentation. Additionally, Brad, it Is the HRA's understanding that you agreed to the their request to research the potential interest and acquisition coats of the properties from Dayton Street east adjoining the properties included in your proposed project. Please advise if otherwise. Again, the NRA was very impressed with your presentation and they appreciate your interest in the community's future and welfare.

I know that I speak for our architect, Skip Sorensen of Johnson, Sheldon & Sorensen Architects, and our marketing consultant, Mike Schoenecker of Advantage Marketing, in stating that we are excited about the possibility and would look forward to working with you in doing this facility. Since you are entertaining another development proposal from Guardian Angels on March 24th, I will do nothing further with the hospital district pending that presentation. Respectfully, METCALF & N By HDA a Larson, Esq. BVL:ds cc: Monticello/Big( Lake Hospital Att: Barb Schwienteck JJS Architects, Att: Skip Sorensen Advantage Marketing, Att: Mike Schoonecker 0 INFORMATIONAL ITEM by 011ie Koropchak This item is to inform the City Council on the progress of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority's (HRA) Goal: To serve as a facilitator and to investigate the need for subsidized or market rate congregate or assisted -living senior housing. Congregate or assieted-living fills the housing -gap need between independent living and the nursing home. Standard services include one daily meal, emergency call, and building security. Optional services include transportation, 24-hour staffing, recreational activities, laundry, housekeeping, etc. In December, HRA members, Hospital Administrator Schwientek, and Mayor Maus visited the Guardian Angels Senior Housing Campus in Elk River. During the NAHRO Conference, the HRA Executive Director visited senior housing projects in Eagan and Bloomington. The HRA has identified two private developers who have expressed Interest in the development and ownership of a senior housing project. Both developers were invited by the HRA to make a preliminary senior housing concept presentation. Developer "A" made a presentation to the HRA last week and Developer "B" anticipates making a presentation the end of March. _ Based upon the presentation made by Developer "A", the project will cashflow. Therefore, the HRA views the project as viable and having merit. Also, the HRA Is encouraged by the Hospital District's interest to investigate the possibility of providing the standard and optional services or management necessary to complete the congregate or aeslsted-living concept. A key component of the project funding application is the completion of a housing market study. In order to proceed with funding, the study results must indicate a need for congregate or assieted-living senior housing. A study has not been completed nor Is a study currently undergoing; however, local assumptions are that a need does exist within the geographic area served by the local health care providers. Site selection is another very important component, as any future plans to develop a Monticello Senior Campus may be linked to this site. It is anticipated that the proposed congregate or assisted - living senior housing structure would be ready for occupancy no sooner than 1998. Again, I repeat, the HRA was encouraged by the results of the first presentation. I will periodically keep you informed of the project's progress. (a) Office of the City Adminismitm 250 East Br"adw-ay Monticello, MN 55362-9245 Phone: (612) 295.2711 MEMO Metro: (612) 333.5739 TO: HRA Members FROM: Rick Wolfsteller, City Administ .Q j DATE: April 1, 1993 ✓✓ RE: Potential TIF District Surplus Funds Previously, the HRA members were given financial summaries of each of our tax increment districts that outlined the revenue and expenditures for the year 1992 and the resulting cash surplus (deficit) at year-end. While the financial summaries seem to indicate a substantial cash surplus overall within our tax increment districts, committee members had questioned how much of the surplus funds are actually available for other uses at this time. As the summaries indicated, our 14 TIF districts which we keep track of had cash surpluses totaling $469,294 as of 12/31/92. While this may seem like a substantial amount of money, it cannot all be considered surplus in that the funds are not all available for other uses. Most of the districts still have outstanding debt that has to be paid by either using future Lax increment revenues from each district or by utilizing some of the cash surplus. Until each district is actually ended and revenues aro no longer collectable and all debt payments have been made, dic true surplus or deficiency will not be known. To give you a better idea of the outlook in the future, I have put together another financial summary which indicates the cash surplus at the end of the year for each district and the estimated future revenue and expenditures that will likely occur for each of the remaining years of die district. As this summary indicates, the HRA fund will have a substantial amount of surplus when all of the districts are terminated totaling over $2,200,000. The only problem is this will not occur for up to 20 years for sorno of Cho districts, while the majority of them will terminate in another 6 or 7 years, In reviewing the report, you will notice that only two of the districts tochnimlly have a surplus, if you consider a surplus an e Memo HRA Members April 1, 1993 Page 2 amount that is available and exceeds any future debt requirements. Those would be districts #1 and #3 in that the cash surplus at the end of the year already exceeds any debt payments that are due in the future. The rest of the districts, although having substantial amounts of funds available, also have a substantial amount of future debt payments to make; therefore, it is hard to consider the cash balance at the end of the year available for other uses. Another definition of a true surplus might be to look at whether future estimated revenues will meet or exceed future debt payments for each district. Logic indicates that if the future revenue is equal or exceeding future debt, the HRA could consider the present cash surplus as available for other uses in that none of these existing funds will be needed for covering future obligations. What it really comes down to is that it is very difficult to say at any point in time how much surplus does the HRA really have when any of the districts still have outstanding debt that needs to be paid in the future. Although estimated future TIF revenues can be estimated, there is no guarantee that future revenues can't be altered because of state legislative action, changing market, and/or tax capacity values of properties resulting in lower tax revenues than originally planned. The only sure thing is that there are debt payments to make, and those will not change unless for some reason we refinance. Again, while it may seem the TIF funds have over $400,000 available at the end of 1992, it should be pointed out that debt payments made in late January absorbed approximately $200,000 of this surplus. Likewise, it is anticipated that the HRA will collect approximately $350,000 in 1993 in TIF revenue, which again will create a larger cash surplus; but not all of these funds can be used for other purposes. If anyone has any questions regarding this report, or if you are more confused now then before, feel free to give me a call. Possibly I could review this at the next HRA meeting if desired.

WKI: 02 -Apr -07 HRA AGENDA APRIL 7, 1993 Consideration an an update on the MHFA and Rediscover Richfield aroarams. Reference and Backaround: MHFA - After the HRA's March meeting and decision not to participate in the MHFA programs, Mayor Maus brought to the attention of the City Administrator the enclosed article from the LMC Cities Bulletin and wondered why "Monticello did not participate in this program as we are promoting housing developments". On March 18, the enclosed article appeared in the Monticello Times reporting that Wright County was applying for $2.5 millions of MHFA funds. Due to April 15 application deadline date and the County's request for increased dollars from a year ago, City staff recommends the HRA wait another year and then reconsider the issue of applying for the first- time home buyers dollars. If the HRA applied and allocations were awarded, the allocations would be dust for the City of Monticello. Rediscover Richfield - Responding to the HRA's March questions. This program is designed for ownership of single- family homes and not for rental property. The program is marketed through the general fundo of the City of Richfield Community Development and the HRA. Pre -1990, the Richfield HRA established twenty-five year Redevelopment and Housing Districts therefore the tax increments help subsidize the expense associated with the program. Through Federal funding (Community Development Block Grants (CDBG]), poor quality homes are purchased at fair market values, a 50 X 130 lot Is sold for $27,500, and through an executed development contract a home is constructed at a minimum new value of $90,000 and ranging to $120,000. The estimated net tax on a $80,000 homestead in Richfield in 1992 was $1,066. The estimated net tax on a $79,500 homestead in Monticello In 1992 was $850. The program becomes lees attractive to a community like Monticello because for the program to caohflow a community must receive Federal funding. Monticello generally does not qualify for Federal funding because of our property valuation. Also, a housing market study would need to demonstrate a need exist. Page 1 Governor may propose Fraser names Scallon to head property tax freeze NLC committee Gary Carlson Governor Arne Carbon hinted of a proposal to freeze property taxes next year at his March 3 press conference on the state budget. At the March 1llouse Tax Committee hearing.

Although there are no details about bow such a leen world be implementA the governor alluded to the Wisconsin proposal that would f eeze property tax raw. Such a proposal could increase imquitin among communities Bound the state. It is clear that these eommmu and possible proposal ate a response to complaints about rising property taxes and the property to increases that could result from other aspects of the govanori budget. However, the idea of a frees has been criticized as bad public policy by nearly everyone invol veal the proposal still could mos more restrictions los local governments. It also is another indicator of the administration% lack of must and respect for local governments. Second lowest interest rates available on home purchases Minnesota's fust -time homebuyer will he eligible for S37 million in single family mortgage funding at the second losers interest rates ever offered in the program, the Minnesota (lousing Finance Agency announced on March 1. Con of the money will be 6.65 percent. The Bunds will be distributed through three programs with the Minnesota City Participation Program receiving S17 million, Use Minnesota Mortgage Program, $30 million, and Build it Now! Mortgage Program, S10million. The Minnesota Mortgage Program provides affordable mortgages to first time homebuyers who have signed purchase agreements, acceptable credit, and meet the maximum adjusted household Income limits. Marcy can be used to purchase arta asisting (tome anywhere In Minnesota, or a new home nor to the seven -county metro area. The Build It Nowl Mortgage Program is new and elan available to first time buyers not in the seven• county metro area. The Minnesota City Participation Program is available in 36 communities, including several in the memo ares. They are: Anoka, Aurin, Barnesville, Beltrami County, Bemidji, Brainerd, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Buffalo, Columbia Heights, Crystal, Dihvorth, Duluth, Eden Prairie.

Owatonna, Richfield, Robbinsdak, Rochester, St. James, Swift County, Todd County, White Bear Lake, and Wright County. The $37 million in financing Benda is the Ian finding available unless Congress extends the federal mortgage revenue bond program. National League ofcities presi- dent Doo Frain, announced this week that Minneapolis city councilmember Tony Scallon will chair the NL.C% Community and Economic Dewksp- mem Policy Committee. Scallion has been a member and active leader on the committee, which is one of five standing NLC commit- tees. "This committee will be at the forefront of NLC% efforts to make our federal housing and community devekspment programs an effective Put of President Clinton's economic recovery plan," stated Mayor Fraser. "I am delighted to name Mr. Scallon to led this effort" Formulating NI.0 policy on community dewtopment banks will be another main topic area covered by the committee which will also study the Impact of superfimd clears -up laws and national trade policy on local eco- nomic development projects. Tate PoII committee, comprised of 200 elected officials from throughout the nation, will identify tpecific policy iuues to be addressed in 1993. A smaller peering committee, made up of approximately 35 members of the full committee, will submit recom. merdaiionu at the annual Congress of Cities in December. After review of the Hull commit- tee, policy amendments go to the NI.0 membership at the annual business meeting. Once approved by the league % membership, the NLC National Municipal Policy serves as the basis for the League's advocacy on behalf of local governments. The League is comprised of more than 15,000 municipal governments throughout the country. i� Page 6 - — _ - _ — - LMC Cities Bulletin Co. CO.
