She suggested inviting Paul Smith to speak at the January meeting about the continuum of mobile home parks. Staff was also asked to research mobile park options used by other cities such as the one in Cannon Falls. E. Zweifel reported on a mobile home park presentation she had viewed and offered to the presentation to the board members. Chair Norvold and E. Zweifel reported on the online version called Framework which could replace the Homestretch classes required by first time homebuyers. They had a chance to preview the program and found it to be acceptable. One concern was that you could not fast forward through the program if need be. Staff also noted lenders such as Wells Fargo, Bremer Bank, U.S. Bank and Minnesota Housing have accepted this form of education. Staff noted a $40,000 payment gap in the TIF financing for the Presidential Commons townhomes due to a decrease in the townhome housing market. The City Council will be discussing it at their December 10 th meeting. They have the option to do an inter-fund loan transfer from TIF #4 (up 40 $250,000) or may require the HRA to utilize fund balance dollars to cover the shortfall. HRA members agreed they would like to fund a portion of this shortfall since it relates to housing. A discussion ensued regarding the amount of fund balance dollars to contribute and whether the full amount should come from the HRA or TIF #4 or a combination of both. Below is a list of scenarios in order of priority they would support: - TIF #4 financing of $250,000-50% TIF #4/50% HRA Fund Balance - $40,000 from HRA Fund Balance Staff requested the HRA consider adding the following items to their work plan: - Emphasize Mobile Home Park Ownership - Research VISTA Program for assistance in Housing/Economic Development areas - Consideration of platting the balance of the Southbridge Property - Consideration of additional land acquisition She noted additional land is available for purchase at a very reasonable price in the Southbridge area.

8 Meeting Date: January 9, 2014 Item No. 6b TO: FROM: RE: Attachments: NONE Members of the Northfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority Michele Merxbauer, Community Development Coordinator Rent Increases SUMMARY REPORT: The federal HUD office has released fair market rents for Rent for all three rental units is based on these standards. The HRA is being asked to review and approve the new rents for BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Fair Market Rate should be the cost of rent and utilities for a unit per month. Federal Fiscal Year 2013 Fair Market Rates for Rice County are: Efficiency One Bedroom Two Bedroom Three Bedroom Four Bedroom $492 $611 $827 $1199 $1205 Current rent at 517 Washington (2 bedroom units) is $827 per unit, per month. The HRA pays all utilities for this unit. Rent at 2330 and 2334 Elianna (4 bedroom units) is $920 per unit, per month. The tenants pay their own utilities at the Elianna units. Average utilities for those units is approximately $250/month, which is why rent charged is approximately $250 less. Utility estimates are provided by the Section 8 program in Rice County. Fair Market Rates for FY 2014 were released in November 2013 and have changed: Three Four Efficiency One Bedroom Two Bedroom Bedroom Bedroom $505 $628 $849 $1231 $1237 ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting the HRA to approve calendar year 2014 rents as follows: 517 Washington Street units: $849/unit/month As the 517 Washington Street units are part of the Transitional Housing program funded with federal McKinney-Vento funds (HUD funds), the rent amount does not stray from the HUD rates. 2330/2334 Elianna Drive units: $920/unit/month Staff is suggesting NO increase for the Elianna Drive units. Staff has discussed utility rates at length with the tenants and other residents of the Elianna units. The units are not exceptionally energy efficient and the utility rates paid by the tenants are higher than the HUD average. A rent of $920 will still allow for total housing costs to be near fair market rates. VOTE: NORVOLD CROW VACANT VOHS ZWEIFEL - CC Page 1 of 1

9 Meeting Date: January 9, 2014 Item No. 6c TO: FROM: RE: Attachments: Members of the Northfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority Michele Merxbauer, Community Development Coordinator Acquisition of forfeit property 1. Resolution Rules of forfeiture 3. Parcel Information SUMMARY REPORT: Staff was alerted by the Rice County Auditor that a parcel is in tax forfeiture for non-payment of property taxes, and as required under MS , Rice County is requesting the City Council to approve the parcel for public auction, or auction to adjacent owners, or the City may request a conveyance to the City for public use. The parcel in forfeiture is Parcel (2007 Hidden Valley Road), located near Jefferson Road and Heritage Drive. This is a townhome property that may be an appropriate property for the HRA to utilize as an affordable rental property. If the HRA is interested in this acquisition, a recommendation would be made to the City Council to pass a resolution indicating an interest in purchasing the property. If approved by the City Council, the City would request acquisition of the parcel under Remove blight/provide affordable housing. These means are summarized below: MS (d) Nonconservation tax-forfeited lands may be sold by the county board to an organized or incorporated governmental subdivision of the state or state agency for less than their market value if: (1) the county board determines that a sale at a reduced price is in the public interest because a reduced price is necessary to provide an incentive to correct the blighted conditions that make the lands undesirable in the open market, or the reduced price will lead to the development of affordable housing; and (2) the governmental subdivision or state agency has documented its specific plans for correcting the blighted conditions or developing affordable housing, and the specific law or laws that empower it to acquire real property in furtherance of the plans. If the sale under this paragraph is to a governmental subdivision of the state, the commissioner of revenue must convey the property on behalf of the state by quit claim deed. If the sale under this paragraph is to a state agency, the commissioner must issue a conveyance document that releases the property from the trust in favor of the taxing districts. Page 1 of 2

10 Meeting Date: January 9, 2014 Item No. 6c The HRA would have to utilize this property for affordable rental property. A household income level and set rent amount would be placed on the unit. The City may acquire this parcel for less than fair market value. Current market value, according to the Rice County Assessor s Office, is $116,300. Staff recommends requesting a purchase price starting at $34,800. At this price, it would take four years of monthly rent at $725 (affordable at 60% area median income) before the HRA breaks even with the upfront costs, not including ongoing taxes. Staff also recommends setting a not to exceed purchase price of $80,000. This is still below fair market value; it should also be assumed that the property will need some basic maintenance, repairs or upgrades before it may be rented to a household. ACTION REQUESTED: The City of Northfield must indicate its intent by February 17, The HRA must make a recommendation to the City Council, who then makes a recommendation to the Rice County Commissioners. The Rice County Commissioners then make a recommendation to the State of Minnesota. The HRA is requested to pass Resolution , recommending the Council to approve the request for acquisition of 2007 Hidden Valley Road through the tax forfeiture process.
