HRA RESOLUTION NO. 886
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A CONTRACT WITH PROJECT FOR
PRIDE IN LIVING FOR THE REHABILITATION OF 6945 CLINTON AVENUE
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield has authorized the purchase the property at 6945
Clinton Avenue by voluntary acquisition, to convey it to the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota (HRA) for the purpose of rehabilitation
and sale, said real property being legally described as Lot 9, Block 3, D.L. Tate's Addition,
and whose street address is 6945 Clinton Avenue South; and
WHEREAS, the HRA determines, as allowed in MN Statutes 469.015 Subd 4, that
holding a public bidding process is not financially prudent because the cost for advertising,
staff time, and developer overhead would make the project more expensive; and
WHEREAS, a project has been proposed as a cooperative effort between the HRA
and Project for Pride in Living (PPL); and
WHEREAS, the property at 6945 Clinton Avenue would be rehabilitated and
improved; and
WHEREAS, the cost for rehabilitating and improving the property in accordance
with the contract is not to exceed $158,950; and
WHEREAS, following completion of construction, the property will be sold to a low
to moderate income, first-time buying family.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota that the Chairperson and Executive
Director are authorized to enter into a Construction Agreement with PPL for a contract not
to exceed $158,950 for the rehabilitation and improvement of the property at 6945 Clinton
Avenue.
Adopted by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of
