RECOMMENDED ACTION: ~~ Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Approve the Housing and Redevelopment Authority's (HRA) five year and annual Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan for the Richfield's Section 8 Housing Assistance Program and authorize the Chair and Executive Director to execute. program documents. IL BACKGROUND The Quality. Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (QHWRA) created by Congress the requirement to provide Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plans -- a five-year plan and an annual plan. The five-year plan describes the mission of the Agency and the Agency's long range goals and objectives for achieving its mission over the subsequent five years. The annual plan provides details about the Agency's immediate operations, program participants, and programs and services, and the Agency's strategy for addressing the needs of the community in the upcoming fiscal year. Staff has developed a plan in proper form and content. 0222phahra In addition, QHWRA requires the Richfield HRA to create a "Resident Advisory Board" to make comments on the Plan. Every Section 8 household (350) in Richfield was invited to join the Advisory Board. Three volunteered to participate. The Advisory Board then met after each • member had an opportunity to review the Plan: The Resident Advisory Board made no additional comments to the plan other than to ask for points of clarification. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY • The HRA Board of Commissioners must formally adopt the PHA Plan following a public-hearing. HUD requires-thE HRA°Chair and Executive~Director to execute documents. B. CRITICAL ISSUES • Failure to approve the PHA Plan will result in receiving anon-compliance status with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). "Non- compliance" violates the contracts the HRA has with HUD and results in a loss of administrative and assistance funds. C. FINANCIAL • Richfield HRA has four contracts for administrative and rent assistance funds with HUD. Annually, the Richfield HRA receives $1,124,436.00 for rental assistance payments and $160,664.00 for administrative payments. A current PHA Plan is a requirement of these contracts. D. LEGAL The HAP contracts that we have with HUD have been previously reviewed and approved by legal counsel. Proper notice was published on December 22, 1999 in the Sun Current of the availability to review the Plan and of the public hearing to be held concerning plan approval. The publication schedule is in compliance with HUD regulations. IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~ • Do not approve the PHA Plan at this time and the Richfield HRA would not be in compliance with HUD. V. ATTACHMENTS • Summary of HRA Five Year and Annual Plan (Attachment A) • VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING • NA Attachment A ~' Summary Richfield HRA Five Year 2000-2004 And Annual Plan, Year 2000 February 22, 2000 The five-year plan is a five-page document and the annual PHA plan is a 46-page document. Known as .HUD-Form #50075;.-these plans provide a standard way for all Public Housing Authorities (PHA) and the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to report in checklist form that the PHA complies with all federal regulations. To summarize: ^ The mission of the Richfield HRA is the same as HUD's: to promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunity and a suitable living environment free from discrimination. ^ The Richfield HRA goals are to: - Secure more rental vouchers when available - Acquire and/or build affordable housing - Improve program administration (Richfield is already a high performer.) - Increase program participation by landlords - Promote client self sufficiency - Ensure equal opportunity and fair housing standards are achieved. The plan document then provides a checklist that over several pages, reports to HUD Richfield's: - Housing needs; - Financial resources; - Policies on program eligibility, selection, and admission.; - Rent determination policies; - Operation and management policies; - Grievance procedures; and any other topics that have relevance to the administration of a Section 8 voucher program only. (PHA's that own and manage public housing have additional parts of the checklist to complete.) The plan document ends with drug-free certification form and a three page certification form. that the Richfield HRA does and will comply with all applicable federal regulations as listed on the certification and signed by the HRA Chair. The five-year and annual plan in its entirety is always available to the HRA Board and the public, and the plan is available in the Community Development Department. AGENDA SECTION: public Hearings AGENDA ITEM # 5 REPORT # 18 STAFF REPORT HRA MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 2000 REPORT PREPARED BY: NaME; TITLE ~~.J REPORT PRESENTER: LYNNETTE CHAMBERS -LEASED HOUSING-=SPECIALIST DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: REVIEWED BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: BRUCE NORDQUIST, ITEM FOR HRA CONSIDERATION: Conduct a public hearing and approve the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority's (HRA) Administrative. Plan for the Section 8 Program. ~~ I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: ~~ Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion: Approve the Housing and Redevelopment Authority's revised administrative plan .for Richfield's Section 8 Housing Assistance Program. II. BACKGROUND The Richfield HRA administers the Section 8 program in accordance with an administrative plan that establishes local policies and procedures based on Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements. This 141-page plan states the Richfield HRA's policy on matters for which the HRA has the discretion to establish local policies. Recently, however, HUD implemented several changes in their administrative plan, requiring Richfield's plan be revised in accordance with the new regulations. Attached is a Summary highlighting the major points of the revised Administrative Plan (Attachment A). A copy of the complete plan is available upon request. 0222adminhra HOUSING: & REDEVELOPMENT MANAGER NAME, TITLE The Richfield Housing Assistance Program (HAP) must administer their Section 8 program in accordance with the Administrative Plan. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY • The HRA Board of Commissioners must formally adopt the Administrative Plan and any revisions of the plan following a public hearing. B. CRITICALISSUES • The Plan incorporates new changes in regulations mandated by HUD. • Failure to approve the Administrative Plan will result in staff administering the program with an Administrative Plan that does not reflect recent regulatory changes. C. FINANCIAL • The Richfield HRA has four contracts with HUD for administrative and rent assistance funds. Annually, the Richfield HRA receives $1,124,436.00 for rental assistance payments and $160,664.00 for administering the program. HUD funding covers the cost of program administration. • A current and accurate Administrative Plan incorporating HUD regulations is a requirement of these contracts. D. LEGAL The HAP contracts that the HRA have with HUD have been previously reviewed and approved by legal counsel. Proper notice was published on December 22, 1999 in the Sun Current of the availability of the Plan to review and of the public hearing to be held concerning the approval of the Plan. The notice of public hearing was published according to HUD regulations. IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION~S~ • Do not approve the Administrative Plan at this time. V. ATTACFIMENTS Proposed policy changes (Attachment A). VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING NA ATTACFIMENT A, ~ HRA Policy Changes in Response to Changes in HUD Regulation February 22, 2000 Richfield HRA has made local policy changes in the revised. plan to comply with regulatory changes required by HUD. The most notable changes include: ^ The waiting list is organized in a-lottery style-fashion, wi#h two local-preferences. Previously, a date of application and time of receipt was used. It is proposed that: 1) Families who live or work in the city of Richfield have a preference; and 2) Families who are involuntarily displaced as a result of federal, state or local government action related to code enforcement, public improvement or development have a preference. ^ .The waiting list will be purged on an annual basis to ensure the waiting list is current and accurate. ^ The minimum amount of rent a family is responsible for is $00.00 under the new plan versus $25.00 previously. There are very few families who ever meet this minimum rent requirement. Generally, this provision is useful when there is a change of employment. ^ An income check will be completed with Minnesota Department of Economic Security to verify when families indicate -they have zero income for more than two months. ^ Interim re-examinations will be completed on families who have increases in income of $200.00 or more per month. Previously, the standard was any increase in income. The change reduces per client interactive costs while still responsibly managing the housing subsidies. ^ A procedure has been added to test and to determine that the rents charged by owners of Section 8 units are reasonable and consistent with rents charged to families living in unassisted units. ^ Families who owe money to the Richfield HRA will be required to enter into a payment agreement with Richfield HRA. Undeclared income changes are an example of when a family may owe the HRA for excess benefits received. The family will be required to pay a reasonable amount of money ($25.00) monthly for reimbursement. The length of time required for the family to satisfy the payment agreement will be determined by the total amount of money owed to the Richfield HRA. • AGENDA SECTION: AGENDA ITEM # REPORT # STAFF REPORT HRA MEETING: • FEBRUARY 22, 2000 Consent 4B 17 REPORT PREPARED BY: fV-~TIA MEDVETSKI, REDEVELOPMENT-SPECIALIST NAME, TITLE REPORT PRESENTER: BRUCE PALMBORG, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR NAME, TITLE DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: SIGNATURE REVIEWED BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: ITEM.

POLICY The HRA and Lyndale .Gateway redevelopers have contractually agreed to the amount of financial assistance to be provided to make the elements of this project feasible. This proposed plan amendment will effectuate these contractual commitments. B. CRITICAL ISSUES • Approval of this modification is necessary to implement the contractual agreements made. between the HRA and the developers for the commercial and townhouse elements of the project. C. FINANCIAL • The TIF Plan identifies a bond issue in an amount not to exceed $2 million. • The Sources and Uses Budget on page 4 of the TIF Plan indicates a total amount of $4,750,000. All sources of revenue, increment and bond proceeds must be shown in the budget. However, the uses of revenue also-show payment of bond principal and interest and other costs. Therefore, sources and uses balance. • Increment from the Candlewood Hotel project located within`the ILN TIF District will be used to pay debt service on the bonds: D. LEGAL • The Redevelopment Plan and TIF Plan requires HRA approval .prior to review by the Planning Commission and also prior to the public hearing and City Council's review and proposed approval on the plans. • The Minnesota Tax Increment Financing Act (TIF Act) requires that prior to the adoption of a modification to a tax increment financing plan for a redevelopment tax increment financing district, the City must notify the County Board member representing the affected. area at least 30 days prior to the publishing the notice of public hearing.
