ITEM FOR HRA CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of resolutions designating official depositories for the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority for 2014, including the approval of collateral.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Adopt the attached resolutions designating official
depositories, with the understanding that the HRA could not invest in
any of the depositories beyond the level of insurance coverage of the
pledged collateral.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In compliance with Minnesota statutes, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
of Richfield (HRA) must designate on an annual basis those financial institutions it
does business with.
The following resolutions for the HRA Board's consideration, designate U.S
Bank/4M Fund as a depository of HRA funds, and certain savings and loan
associations, banks, credit unions and certain financial institutions as depositories
for the investment of HRA funds.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. BACKGROUND
• N/A
B. POLICY
• In accordance with Minnesota Statutes Section 118A.01 - 118A.06, the
HRA of Richfield must designate financial institutions annually. The
institutions must pledge the collateral over and above the amount of
federal insurance, as public depositories.
• U.S. Bank acts as the banking institution in the HRA's banking
arrangement with the 4M Fund. Monies received, checks written, by the
HRA, flow through U.S. Bank, however, at the end of each business day,
any proceeds remaining in HRA U.S. Bank accounts are swept to the 4M
Fund to be invested. Therefore, at the end of the business day the HRA
accounts are zero, which means the collateral requirements of Minnesota
Statutes Section 118A.03 are not required. Accordingly, U.S. Bank has
met all other statutory requirements and should be considered as a
depository for the HRA's vendor accounts and all savings deposits.
• The HRA must also designate annually, certain savings and loan
associations, banks, and credit unions as official depositories for deposit
and investment of certain HRA funds. With approval of these official
depositories, the HRA will be able to invest funds in these institutions, not
exceeding the federal insurance of$250,000.
• Finally, a designation must be made for certain financial institutions as
depositories for the investment of HRA funds for 2014. These institutions,
such as investment brokerage firms, offer government securities in the
manner required by law. These financial institutions include U.S. Bank,
� RBC Dain Rauscher, Wells Fargo Institutional Brokerage & Sales,
Raymond James &Associates, Northland Securities and the 4M Fund.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• N/A
D. F�arrclaL
• N/A
E. LEGAL
• The HRA is required by Minnesota Statute 118A.01 - 118A.06, to
designate as a depository of funds, insured banks or thrift institutions.
Any collateral so deposited is accompanied by an assignment pledged
to the HRA in the amount specified in the attached resolutions.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S�
• The HRA could solicit other financial institutions for official depositories, but
past relationships with the depositories recommended have proven
satisfactory for the City.
V. ATTACHMENTS
• Resolution designating US Bank a depository of funds of the HRA of
Richfield for the year 2014.
• Resolution designating certain savings and loan associations, banks, and
credit unions as depositories for the investment of HRA funds in 2014.
• Resolution designating certain financial institutions as depositories for the
investment of HRA of Richfield funds in 2014.

designation is to facilitate the proper and advantageous investments of Housing
and Redevelopment Authority funds and that such designation is not exclusive
nor does it preclude the deposit of any Housing and Redevelopment Authority
funds in other officially designated depositories of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority.
3. The Treasurer and Finance Manager are hereby authorized to deposit Housing
and Redevelopment Authority funds in various depositories up to the amount of
$250,000, or such other amount as may be subsequently permitted by law, such ,
deposits to be in the form of demand accounts, payable to the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority of Richfield on the signatures of the Housing and

shall be conducted in accordance with established policies of the Housing and

Institute for Sustainable Development, Inc. for the grant.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion:
1. Adopt a resolution accepting a $4,000 Metro Clean Energy
Resource Teams Seed Grant from the Great Plains Institute for
Sustainable Development, Inc. to develop a Latino Outreach
plan for the Home Energy Squad Enhanced Program, and
2. Appro_ve a Contract with the Great Plains Institute for
Sustainable Development, Inc. to carry out activities relating to
the rant.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has been offered a $4,000 Metro
Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERT) Seed Grant to develop a Latino Outreach
plan for the Home Energy Squad Enhanced (HESE) Program which provides low-
cost energy visits to Richfield residents. If accepted, the grant will be used to pay
01222014 CERT Grant Contract.docx
for consulting services of the Neighborhood Development Alliance (NeDA). Staff
from NeDA will work with the HRA and the Center for Energy and Environment
(CEE) to develop the Latino Outreach plan.
In order to utilize the grant, the HRA needs to pass a resolution accepting the grant
and approve a contract with the Great Plains Institute for Sustainable Development,
Inc. (GPI). GPI is the agency providing the grand funds.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. BACKGROUND
• In October 2013, staff worked with the Center for Energy and
Environment (CEE) and Neighborhood Development Alliance (NeDA)
to apply for a Metro CERT Seed Grant to develop a Latino Outreach
plan for the HESE Program.
• In November 2013, staff was notified that the HRA had received a
$4,000 grant to develop a Latino Outreach plan.
• NeDA is a non-profit community development organization that was
formed to strengthen the vitality of lower-income neighborhoods within
the City of St. Paul, by creating and preserving housing and business
opportunities for residents of all income levels. Over the years,
NeDA's goals have expanded to include serving the Latino population
in the seven county metro area. The grant will be used to hire NeDA to
work with the HRA and CEE to develop the Latino Outreach plan.
• NeDA currently offers Spanish-language homebuyer classes in the
City.
• The HRA works with CEE to offer low-cost energy visits to
homeowners through the HESE Program. CEE will incorporate the
Latino Outreach plan into their overall outreach and communications
plan for HESE.
B. PoLicY
• The Home Energy Squad Enhanced (HESE) program furthers the
following goals of the City's Comprehensive Plan:
o Support the rehabilitation and upgrading of the existing
housing stock.
o Support ongoing maintenance and upkeep of residential
properties.
o Promote the maintenance of affordable housing in the
City.
• The grant will help to ensure that HESE is accessible to all eligible
households in the community.
• The number of Latino households in the community has grown in the
last ten years; however, the number of Latino households accessing
HRA housing programs has not. The Latino Outreach plan will provide
information to staff to increase participation in HESE which can then
be used to increase participation in other HRA programs.
G C�TICAL TIM�G ISSUES
• The grant needs to be accepted and the contract signed and returned
to GPI by January 24, 2014.
• The grant must be spent by December 31, 2014.
D. FINANCIAL
• The HRA seeks outside funding sources whenever possible to
enhance local efforts.
• The $4,000 will be used to hire NeDA to provide consulting services.
• The HRA has sufficient staff resources to manage the grant.
E. LEGAL
• The Contract was reviewed by the HRA Attorney.

II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) received a $4,000 Metro Clean
Energy Resource Teams (CERT) Seed Grant to develop a Latino Outreach plan for
the Home Energy Squad Enhanced (HESE) Program. The grant will be used to pay
for consulting services of the Neighborhood Development Alliance (NeDA). Staff
from NeDA will work with the HRA and the Center for Energy and Environment
(CEE) to develop the Latino Outreach plan. The Professional Services Agreement
outlines the work to be performed by NeDA.

II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity (TCHFH) is proposing to purchase three properties
(four lots) from the Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA), contingent upon
award of Federal HOME funds, to construct four new homes to be sold to
households with incomes no greater than 60 percent of the Twin Cities Area Median
Income (AMI). TCHFH is proposing to apply for federal HOME funds to purchase
the properties for$25,000 each.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. BACKGROUND
• Table 1 addresses the acquisition of the specific lots, along with the
development proposed for each property:

• Purchased in 2013 See plans in attachments
• Purchase Price: $92,500
• 1,797 square foot
4. 6420 16th Avenue • 4 bedrooms, 2 baths
(one lot of double lot) • 2-car detached garage
See plans in attachments
• TCHFH is applying for Federal HOME funds to purchase the
properties, and the application is due on February 27, 2014.
• Under the New Home Program, the HRA has partnered with nonprofit
developers to construct 51 affordable homes since 1981.
• In the past ten years, the HRA has constructed 26 new market rate
single family homes, with six additional to be completed in 2014. In
that same time period, six new homes were constructed under the
New Home program for affordable purchase.
• Since 2008, the HRA has partnered with a non-profit developer to
construct just one new home. Because of the oversupply on the
market, the HRA focused on purchasing and land-banking properties
for future development of affordable housing. The oversupply has
since been absorbed and the market is able to sustain new units.
• TCHFH has the experience, capability, and financial security to
develop the properties and has previously constructed ten homes
throughout the City.
• The New Home Program allows homes to be sold to households
earning up to 80 percent of AMI; however, TCHFH's policy is to target
households whose income does not exceed 60 percent of the AMI
(approx. $49,740 for a family of 4).
• TCHFH achieves long-term affordability with its projects by retaining
the right to repurchase a home it has developed and resell to income-
qualified families.
B. POLICY
• The New Home Program implements the goal of the Comprehensive
Plan to ensure sufficient diversity in the housing stock to provide for a
range of household sizes, income levels and needs. The Program
carries out the policies that support this goal, including:
o Promote the development of a balanced housing stock
that is available to a range of income levels.
o Promote the development, management and
maintenance of affordable housing in the City through
assistance programs, alternative funding sources, and
the creation of partnerships whose mission is to promote
low to moderate income housing.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• TCHFH is applying for Federal HOME funds to purchase the
properties, and the application is due on February 27, 2014. The
application requires demonstration of site control.
• Assuming award of HOME funds, construction would occur in 2015.
• TCHFH hosted a neighborhood open house on January 15 to share
plans and answer questions.
D. FINANCIAL
• TCHFH is proposing to pay the HRA $25,000 for each of the four lots.
• Purchase of the property is contingent upon TCHFH being awarded
funds to purchase the property.
• The property is located within the 2007 63 or greater DNL contour,
and the Zoning Ordinance will require that sound attenuation
measures be installed in the new home. TCHFH will provide the
financial resources to pay for these increased costs.
E. LEGAL
• Notice of the public hearing was published in the Sun Current on
January 9, 2014.
• Mailed notice was also sent as a courtesy to homeowners and
occupants within 350 feet of the property.
IV. ALTERNATNE RECOMMENDATION�S�
• Do not approve one or more of the resolutions authorizing sale of the
properties to TCHFH.
V. ATTACHMENTS
• Resolutions
• Contracts for Development
• Photos of the lots
• Site Plans

shall refuse or fail to provide certification in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.4, the
HRA shall within 15 days of such notification provide the Developer with a written statement,
indicating in adequate detail in what respects the Developer has failed to complete the
Improvements in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement necessary, in the opinion of the
HRA, for the Developer to take or perform in order to obtain such certification.

encumbrances attached for the purposes of obtaining funds to the extent necessary for making the
Improvements without the prior written approval of the HRA. The HRA shall not approve any
Mortgage which does not contain terms which conform to the terms of this Article VI and Section
8.2 of this Agreement.

Section 7.1 _Representation as to Redevelonment. The Developer represents and agrees
that its undertakings pursuant to the Agreement, are for the purpose of development of the Property
and not for speculation in land holding. The Developer further recognizes that, in view of the
importance of the Development to the general welfare of Richfield and the substantial financing and
other public aids that have been made available by the HRA for the purpose of making the
Development possible, the qualification and identity of the Developer are of particular concern to
the HRA. The Developer further recognizes that it is because of such qualifications and identity that
the HRA is entering into this Agreement, and, in so doing, is further willing to rely on the
8
� .`;�
representations and undertakings of the Developer for the faithful performance of all undertakings
and covenants agreed by the Developer to be performed.
Section 7.2 Prohibition A�ainst Transfer of Propertv and Assignment of Agreement.
For the reasons set out in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, the Developer represents and agrees that

necessary to enable the Developer or any successor in interest to the Property, or any part thereof, to
perform its obligations with respect to the Development under this Agreement, and any other
purpose authorized by this Agreement, the Developer, except as so authorized, has not made or
created, and that it will not make or create, or suffer to be made or created, any total or partial sale,
assignment, conveyance, or any trust in respect to this Agreement or the Property or any part thereof
or any interest therein, or any contract or agreement to do any of the same, without the prior written
approval of the HRA; and
(b) The HRA shall be entitled to require, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, as conditions to any such approval under this Section 7.2 that:
(i) Any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial responsibility, as
determined by the HRA, necessary and adequate to fulfill the obligations undertaken in this
Agreement by the Developer or, in the event the transfer is of or relates to part of the
Property, such obligations to the extent that they relate to such part,
(ii) any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to the HRA and in form
recordable among the land records, shall for itself and its successor and assigns, and
specifically for the benefit of the HRA, have expressly assumed all of the obligations of the
Developer under this Agreement and agreed to be subject to such obligations, restrictions
and conditions or, in the event the transfer is of, or relates to part of the Property, such
obligations, conditions, and restrictions to the extent that they relate to such part; provided,
that the effect that any transferee of, or any other successor in interest whatsoever to, the ',
Property or any part thereof, shall, for whatever reason, not have assumed such obligations I
or agree to do so, shall not, unless and only to the extent otherwise specifically provided in
the Agreement or agreed to in writing by the HRA, relieve or except such transferee or
successor from such obligations, conditions, or restrictions, or deprive or limit the HRA of

construction of the Improvements; it being the intent of this Section 7.2, together with other
provisions of this Agreement, that to the fullest extent permitted by law and equity and
excepting only in the manner and to the extent specifically provided otherwise in the
Agreement no transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the Property or any part

involuntary, shall operate, legally or practically, to deprive or limit the HRA, or any rights or
remedies or controls provided in or resulting from this Agreement with respect to the
Property and the construction of the Improvements that the HRA would have had, had there

documents involved in effecting transfers described herein, and if approved by the HRA, its
approval shall be indicated to the Developer in writing.

approval by the HRA thereof shall be deemed to relieve the Developer from any of its obligations
with respect thereto. The sale of the Development to a Qualified Buyer shall not be deemed to be a
transfer within the meaning of this Section 7.2.
Section 7.3 Approvals. Any approval required to be given by the HRA under this Article

and not for speculation in land holding. The Developer further recognizes that, in view of the
importance of the Development to the general welfare of Richfield and the substantial financing and
other public aids that have been made available by the HRA for the purpose of making the
Development possible, the qualification and identity of the Developer are of particular concern to
the HRA. The Developer further recognizes that it is because of such qualifications and identity that
the HRA is entering into this Agreement, and, in so doing, is further willing to rely on the
8
� � °�
representations and undertakings of the Developer for the faithful performance of all undertakings
and covenants agreed by the Developer to be performed.
Section 7.2 Prohibition Against Transfer of Proqertv and Assi�nment of A�reement.
For the reasons set out in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, the Developer represents and agrees that
prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Completion by the HRA:
(a) Except only by way of security for, and only for the purpose of obtaining financing
necessary to enable the Developer or any successor in interest to the Property, or any part thereof, to I
perform its obligations with respect to the Development under this Agreement, and any other
purpose authorized by this Agreement, the Developer, except as so authorized, has not made or
created, and that it will not make or create, or suffer to be made or created, any total or partial sale,
assignment, conveyance, or any trust in respect to this Agreement or the Property or any part thereof
or any interest therein, or any contract or agreement to do any of the same, without the prior written
approval of the HRA; and
(b) The HRA shall be entitled to require, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, as conditions to any such approval under this Section 7.2 that:
(i) Any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial responsibility, as
determined by the HRA, necessary and adequate to fulfill the obligations undertaken in this
Agreement by the Developer or, in the event the transfer is of or relates to part of the
Property, such obligations to the extent that they relate to such part,
(ii) any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to the HRA and in form
recordable among the land records, shall for itself and its successor and assigns, and
specifically for the benefit of the HRA, have expressly assumed all of the obligations of the
Developer under this Agreement and agreed to be subject to such obligations, restrictions
and conditions or, in the event the transfer is of, or relates to part of the Property, such
obligations, conditions, and restrictions to the extent that they relate to such part; provided,
that the effect that any transferee of, or any other successor in interest whatsoever to, the
Property or any part thereof, shall, for whatever reason, not have assumed such obligations
or agree to do so, shall not, unless and only to the extent otherwise specifically provided in
the Agreement or agreed to in writing by the HRA, relieve or except such transferee or
successor from such obligations, conditions, or restrictions, or deprive or limit the HRA of
or with respect to any rights or remedies or controls with respect to the Property of the
construction of the Improvements; it being the intent of this Section 7.2, together with other
provisions of this Agreement, that to the fullest extent permitted by law and equity and
excepting only in the manner and to the extent �pecifically provided otherwise in the
Agreement no transfer of, or change with respect to, ownership in the Property or any part
thereof, or any interest therein, however consummated or occurring, whether voluntary or
involuntary, shall operate, legally or practically,to deprive or limit the HRA, or any rights or
remedies or controls provided in or resulting from this Agreement with respect to the
Property and the construction of the Improvements that the HRA would have had, had there
been no such transfer or change, and
9
� ���
(iii) There shall be submitted to the HRA for review all instruments and other legal
documents involved in effecting transfers described herein, and if approved by the HRA, its
approval shall be indicated to the Developer in writing.
In the absence of specific written agreement by the HRA to the contrary, no such transfer or
approval by the HRA thereof shall be deemed to relieve the Developer from any of its obligations
with respect thereto. The sale of the Development to a Qualified Buyer shall not be deemed to be a
transfer within the meaning of this Section 7.2. ,
Section 7.3 Anprovals. Any approval required to be given by the HRA under this Article I
VII may be denied only in the event that the HRA reasonably determines that the ability of the
Developer to perform its obligations under this Agreement will be materially impaired by the action
for which approval is sought.

ITEM FOR HRA CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a settlement of a Housing and Redevelopment Authority Deferred Loan.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve or deny a proposal made by the owner of 6700
Elliot Avenue for a settlement of a $15,892.34 Deferred Loan in the
amount of $2,384.00.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Marsha Lundeen (Homeowner) is requesting that the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) accept a settlement of$2,384.00 on a $15,892.34 HRA Deferred
Loan she received in 2008. The Deferred Loan Program provides assistance with
home maintenance and repairs to low-income households and is funded with
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
Due to financial and personal reasons, the Homeowner is attempting to sell the
property to avoid foreclosure. She has received an offer to purchase her property
for $171,000; however, the amount she owes on the property is $266,551.32. The
first mortgagor has agreed to accept a settlement of$154,985.28 on the first
mortgage balance of$186,117.26. Acceptance of the settlement offer by the HRA
will enable the Homeowner to avoid foreclosure.
01222014 Loan Settlement Request 6700 Elliot.docx
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. BACKGROUND
. In 2008, the Homeowner received a Deferred Loan in the amount of
$15,892.34 in order to make necessary repairs to her home. The loan
is deferred with no payments or interest, and is forgiven after 30
years. If the property is sold or transferred within the 30 year period,
the loan becomes due and payable.
. Due to financial and personal reasons, the homeowner is attempting
to sell the property to avoid foreclosure. She has received an offer of
$171,000 on the property after originally listing it for$184,900 and
dropping the price to $179,900 (the current Estimated Market Value is
$188,000; the homeowner paid $222,000 for the property in 2003).
After paying off the first mortgage, fees and commissions, closing
costs, and City-required repairs, the settlement leaves the
homeowners $95,551.32 short of covering all costs.

B. POLICY
• The HRA acts to protect its financial interests.
• The Mortgage Foreclosure Response Program Procedural Guidelines
state as follows: "Staff will consider short sale offers and negotiate as
high of repayment as possible. Action will be taken quickly so as to not
disrupt the short sale opportunity and cause the homeowner to enter
into foreclosure."
. The purpose of the Deferred Loan Program is to provide loans to
Homeowners earning less than 80 percent of the Twin Cities Area
Median Income (AMI) to make improvements that address health and
safety or property maintenance items.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
. If the HRA and the Homeowners cannot reach an agreement
regarding the payoff of the HRA mortgage, the Homeowner is in
danger of defaulting on the principal mortgage.
• The purchase agreement requires the Homeowner to receive short
sale approvals by February 8, 2014 (6 months from the date of the
Homeowner's acceptance of the purchase offer).
D. FnvaNClaL
• The attached letter from the Homeowner describes the financial and
personal difficulties she has encountered that have led to the need to
sell the home.
• The first mortgage lender has agreed to a settlement of$154,074.28.
This amount is 83 percent of the $186,117.26 total amount owed.
• The HRA has a subordinated position to the primary lender. If the
property is foreclosed by the lender, the HRA would likely receive
nothing.
• Neighborhoods in which there are one or more foreclosed and vacant
homes have detrimental impacts on the surrounding property values.
• The loan was funded with CDBG funds. The HRA established the
requirement that a borrower must repay the loan at the sale of the
property. There is no federal requirement to repay the funds.
• The HRA has received five requests for a short sale settlement in the
past two years. The HRA agreed to the following settlements:
o $2,500 out of$25,000 (10%)
o $1,000 out of$1,577 (63%)
o $0 out of$8,249.95 (0%)
o $2,600 out of$26,000 (10%)
o $5,040 out of$10,080 (50%)
o $26,094.28 out of$30,000 (87%)
E. LEGAL
• Legal counsel has confirmed the HRA's authorization under a short
sale.
IV. ALTERNATNE RECOMMENDATION(S�
• Deny the proposed settlement.
• Propose a different settlement amount.
• Authorize staff to negotiate a settlement amount within certain parameters.

Dear Sir or Ma'am,
I am writing today to ask for your assistance with the sale of my home and relieving me of further burden. �I
One month after obtaining the mortgage on my home in December 2008, I was laid off from BOTH of my jobs. I '
have.struggled financially since that time to keep up the mortgage payments, utilities, taxes, insurance, lawn
care, snow removal, and repair work to the home itself and to appliances within.
The main reason I worked so hard to keep my home, even through the housing market crash,was to provide a
stable and accessible home for my youngest child Tess,who was severely disabled and extremely medically
fragile.
Tess passed away on October 1, 2012 and since that time, it is all I can do to go to work every day and coak a
meal at night. I have no need for a 4 bedroom house and I lack the emotional wherewithal to continue trying to
maintain the house. I need to gefi out from under this weight and let a nice young family, who really NEED the
space buy the house and make raise a family.
I ask that you approve the proposed short-sale and let me move forward without the burden of owning this
. home any longer.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
Marsha Lundeen

ITEM FOR HRA CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a resolution designating buildings (associated with the former City Garage
facilities and the former Gleason's Mortuary) as structurally substandard within the Richfield
Redevelopment Pro'ect Area and authorizing their demolition.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Adopt a resolution designating buildings (associated with
the former City Garage facilities and the former Gleason's Mortuary)
as structurally substandard within the Richfield Redevelopment
Pro'ect Area and authorizin their demolition.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On November 7, 2013, staff provided the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
with HRA Memorandum 2013-56 (attached) which discussed establishing a Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) District for the former City Garage and Gleason's
Mortuary sites. That Memo explained that the buildings on the sites are hazardous
and should be demolished in the interest of public safety.
In an effort to identify funding sources for the costs associated with the demolition
and environmental remediation, staff has proposed the establishment of a
Redevelopment TIF District. If such a TIF District were to be established, future Tax
01222014 Mortuary&Grage demo and substandardxxx
Increment generated by any development completed within five years could be
used to reimburse the City and/or Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA) for funds expended for those costs.
In order to qualify as a Redevelopment TIF District, the property within the proposed
District boundaries must be found to be blighted and structurally substandard under
the requirements established by Minnesota State Statutes. The architecture firm
LHB, Inc. has conducted an extensive evaluation of the site and issued a report
(attached) which concluded that the site and the buildings it contains would meet
the requirements necessary to qualify as a Redevelopment TIF District.
The attached resolution would make findings accepting the results of the LHB report
and designating the buildings to be substandard as defined in Minnesota Statues as
they pertain to Tax increment Financing Districts. The resolution would also
approve the demolition of the structures (specifically the former City Garage
buildings and the former Gleason's Mortuary building) within the proposed TIF
District boundaries in advance of the creation of the TIF District.
The Richfield City Council adopted a similar Resolution by unanimous (5-0) vote on
January 14, 2014.
IIL BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. BACKGROUND
• The buildings on this site are hazardous and should be demolished as
soon as possible in the interest of public safety.
• The costs of demolition, environmental remediation and other "TIF
Qualified Expenses" could be reimbursed by future tax increment
funds if a TIF District is established.
, • A report by the architectural firm, LHB, Inc., concludes that the site
contains structurally substandard buildings and meets the '
requirements of a Redevelopment TIF District. ',
i
B. POLICY 'I
• A prescribed percentage of buildings on a site must be found to be
structurally substandard in order for that site to meet the requirements
of a Redevelopment TIF District as defined by Minnesota State
Statutes. ,
• The Richfield City Council adopted a similar Resolution by unanimous
(5-0) vote on January 14.
C. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• Adoption of this resolution will allow staff to begin the process of
procuring bids for the demolition of the buildings and conducting the
demolition as quickly as possible.
D. FINANCIAL
• The costs of environmental remediation and demolition are proposed
to be reimbursed by future Tax Increment generated by future
development occurring within the next five years. In the interim, an
Interfund Loan from the City's Capital Improvement Reserve Fund will
pay for the costs associated with demolition.
E. LEGaL

RESOLUTION DESIGNATING BUILDINGS AS STRUCTURALLY
SUBSTANDARD WITHIN RICHFIELD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
BE IT RESOLVED By the Board of Commissioners ("Board") of the Richfield Housing
and Redevelopment Authority ("Authority") as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. �
1.01. Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subd. 10(d), the Authority is �
authorized to deem parcels as occupied by structurally substandard buildings despite prior
demolition or removal of the buildings, subject to certain terms and conditions as described in
this resolution.
1.02. The Authority intends to cause demolition of the buildings located on the
property described in Exhibit A hereto (the "Designated Property"), and may in the future
include the Designated Property in a redevelopment or renewal and renovation tax increment

Section 2. Buildinqs Desiqnated Substandard; Other Proceedinqs.
2.01. The Authority finds that the buildings on the Designated Property as described
in Exhibit A are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or
clearance, based upon the analysis of such buildings by LHB Architects dated January 9,
2014 and on file in City Hall.
2.02. After the date of approval of this resolution, the buildings on the Designated
Property may be demolished or removed by the Authority, or such demolition or removal may
be financed by the Authority, or may be undertaken by a developer under a development

demolition of the buildings on the Designated Property.
2.04. Upon filing the request for certification of the new tax increment financing
district, the Authority will notify the Hennepin County auditor that the original tax capacity of
the Designated Property must be adjusted to reflect the greater of (a) the current net tax
capacity of the parcel, or (b) the estimated market value of the parcel for the year in which the
buildings were demolished or removed, but applying class rates for the current year, all in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subd. 10(d).
2.05. Authority staff and consultants are authorized to take any actions necessary to
carry out the intent of this resolution.

Council Memorandum No. 107 HRA Memorandum No.56
The Honorable Mayor Housing and Redevelopment
and Authority Commissioners
Members of the City Council City of Richfield
Subject: TIF Qualification of the Gleason Mortuary and Former City Garage Site I
Council Members and Commissioners:
Due to the deteriorating condition of the former Gleason Mortuary building and the
structures associated with the former City Garage site (both north and south of 77th
Street), staff is recommending demolition of all structures on those sites.
In the past, staff has been hesitant to demolish the buildings because of the cost
associated with demolition and because such demolition could adversely affect the
future ability to designate the area as a Redevelopment TIF District (if needed, feasible
and publicly supported) in the absence of the buildings. The conditions of the buildings
are so bad at this time however, that staff feels it is necessary to complete the
demolition as soon as possible in order to prevent any public health liabilities.
The estimated cost of abating any remaining environmental contaminants and
demolishing the buildings is estimated as high as $250,000. Currently, neither the City
nor the HRA have budgeted funds for these costs,
Prior to demolishing the buildings, staff is recommending that the area be examined to
determine whether it wauld qualify as a Redevelopment TlF District and, if so, have the
City Council and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) adopt resolutions
indicating that the area would qualify as a Redevelopment TIF District and that the City
Council and HRA intend to create such a T1F District. The HRA and the City may then
move forward with the demolition and take the steps necessaty to designate the
properties as a Redevelopment TIF District. If the area were to develop within five
years of establishing such a TIF District, the HRA and City Council could use TIF funds
to reimburse them for the money expended on demolition and environmental cleanup,
Policy makers would also preserve the ability to make a future decision about the
allocation of any additional tax increment funds that were generated by such a
development.
Unless directed otherwise, staff will work with Ehlers Associates, Cit� and HRA
Attorneys and LHB Architects (who has expertise in evaluating buildings for TI�
qualifications) on preparing the documents for TIF District establishment. These
documents would then come before the HRA and City Council for formal consideration
in December and January.

II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is considering action related to
the establishment of a Tax tncrement Financing (TIF) District at the location of the

establish an InterFund Loan for an amount not to exceed $300,000 to authorize up-
front payment for demolition and other qualified costs. The source of funds will be
the City's Capital Improvement Reserve Fund. If the site were to be redeveloped
01222014 Interfund Loan-TI District 2014-1xxx
within five years, then tax increment generated by such a development could be
used to reimburse this fund.

RICHFIELD HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN INTERFUND LOAN FOR ADVANCE OF
CERTAIN COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH PROPOSED TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 2014-1.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the Richfield Housing
and Redevelopment Authority (the "Authority") of the City of Richfield, Minnesota, as follows:
WHEREAS, the Authority and the City of Richfield, Minnesota (the "City") intend to ',
establish Tax Increment Financing District No. 2014-1 (the "TIF District") within the Richfield
Redevelopment Project (the "Project") pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to '
469.1794, as amended (the "TIF Act"), and will adopt a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF
Plan") for the purpose of financing certain improvements within the Project.
WHEREAS, the Authority has determined that it may use tax increments from the TIF
District to pay for certain costs of demolition of substandard buildings within the proposed TIF
District, costs of environmental remediation, and administrative costs (the "Qualified Costs"), which
costs may be financed on a temporary basis from City or Authority funds available for such
purposes.
WHEREAS, under Section 469.178, Subd. 7 of the TIF Act, the Authority is authorized to
advance or loan money from the Authority's general fund or any other fund from which such
advances may be legally authorized, in order to finance the Qualified Costs.
WHEREAS, the Authority intends to reimburse itself for all or a portion of the Qualified
Costs from tax increments derived from the TIF District in accordance with the terms of this
resolution (which terms are referred to collectively as the "InterFund Loan").
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board as follows:
1. The Authority hereby authorizes the advance of up to $300,000 from the Capital
Improvement Reserve Fund or so much thereof as may be paid as Qualified Costs. The
Authority shall reimburse itself for such advances together with interest at the rate stated
below. Interest accrues on the principal amount from the date of each advance. The
maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged is limited to the greater of the rates
specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 as of the date the
loan or advance is authorized, unless the written agreement states that the maximum
interest rate wifl fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section
270C.40 or Section 549.09 are from time to time adjusted. The interest rate shall be 4.0%
and will not fluctuate.
2. Principal and interest ("Payments") on the Interfund Loan shall be paid semi-annually on
each August 1 and February 1 (each a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment
Date on which the Authority has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on any other
dates determined by the Executive Director of the Authority, through the date of last receipt
of tax increment from the TIF District.
3. Payments on this Interfund Loan are payable solely from "Available Tax Increment," which
shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after other obligations have
been paid, or as determined by the Executive Director of the Authority, generated in the
preceding six (6) months with respect to the property within the TIF District and remitted to
the City by Hennepin County, all in accordance with the TIF Act. Payments on this
InterFund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future bonds or notes issued by
� /�
the City or the HRA and secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment. The
Interfund Loan shall be paid prior to any pay-as-you-go notes or contracts secured in whole
or in part with Available Tax Increment, and any other outstanding or future interfund loans
secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment.
4. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Interfund Loan are pre-
payable in whole or in part at any time by the Authority without premium or penalty. No
partial prepayment shall affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise

5. This Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by the Authority in accordance with
Section 469.178, Subd. 7 of the TIF Act, and is a limited obligation payable solely from
Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution. This
Interfund Loan and the interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general
obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including, without
limitation, the Authority. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor any political subdivision thereof ,
shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or other costs 'I
incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full faith and credit

hereto. The Authority shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the Interfund
Loan or accrued interest thereon, which may remain unpaid after the final Payment Date.
6. The Authority may amend the terms of this Interfund Loan at any time by resolution of the
Board, including a determination to forgive the outstanding principal amount and accrued
interest to the extent permissible under law.

Prior to demolishing the buildings, staff is recommending that the area be examined to
determine whether it would qualify as a Redevelopment TIF District and, if so, have the
City Council and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) adopt resolutions
indicating that the area would qualify as a Redevelopment TIF District and that the City
Council and HRA intend to create such a TIF District. The HRA and the City may then
move forward with the demolition and take the steps necessary to designate the
properties as a Redevelopment TIF District. If the area were to develop within five
years of establishing such a TIF District, the HRA and City Council could use TIF funds
to reimburse them for the money expended on demolition and environmental cleanup.
Policy makers would also preserve the ability to make a future decision about the
allocation of any additional tax increment funds that were generated by such a
development.
Unless directed otherwise, staff will work with Ehlers Associates, City and HRA
Attorneys and LHB Architects (who has expertise in evaluating buildings for TIF
qualifications) on preparing the documents for TIF District establishment. These
documents would then come before the HRA and City Council for formal consideration
in December and January.
