have more of the Richfield colors on them.

and message are very welcoming. He added that he believes the Richfield logo should be somewhere
on the banner.
The City Council and HRA consensus was to proceed with Option 6 and work with the artist in
modifying the design to possibly include reducing the number of languages for easier reading,
changing the text color to red to make it more clear that the design is a heart, add the City of Richfield
logo, and remove the word Minnesota from the banner.

Date Approved: April 18, 2016.

ITEM FOR HRA CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of an amendment to the NSP 1 Developer Agreement with the Greater
Metropolitan Housing Corporation for the continued acquisition, rehabilitation and sale of
sin le famil homes throu h the Nei hborhood Stabilization Pro ram.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve an amendment to the NSP 1 Developer
Agreement with the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation for the
acquisition, rehabilitation and sale of single family homes through the
Nei hborhood Stabilization Pro ram.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2009 the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) was awarded $750,000 in
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds to purchase and rehabilitate up to
four foreclosed homes located within certain areas of Richfield.
In 2009 the HRA entered into an agreement with the Greater Metropolitan Housing
Corporation (GMHC) to identify foreclosed or blighted properties, acquire them on
behalf of the HRA and manage the rehabilitation and sale of the home to a
qualified-buyer. Over the course of the program, proceeds from the property sales
were returned to Richfield's NSP account allowing for the purchase of additional
041816 Demolition of 6421 14'h,7033 Garfield,7333 Emerson and 7533 Dupont.docx
rehabilitation candidates. Since 2009 seven homes have been renovated using the
original NSP funds. An eighth home is currently being renovated, and wi{I utilize the
last of the program funds. The original agreement between the HRA and GMHC has
expired and now needs to be updated.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. BACKGROUND
• An amendment was requested by Hennepin County given the ongoing
nature of the program, and to clarify the HRA's relationship with
GMHC for this program.
B. POLICY
• The HRA has partnered with non-profit developers to construct
affordable homes since 1978.
• The HRA has partnered with GMHC for many years, most recently at
7212 and 7216 Clinton Avenue to provide well-built, permanently
affordable housing to qualified households.
• The HRA previously approved and authorized execution of an NSP I
Developer Agreement with GMHC expending NSP funds on behalf of
the HRA.
G CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• The existing NSP I Developer contract with GMHC expired on
December 31, 2010.
• Hennepin County encouraged staff to create an amendment for the
Developer Agreement with GMHC until the program concludes in the
fall of 2016 when the eighth house is completed.
D. FINANCIAL
• The HRA was originally awarded a total of$1,041,541 in Federal NSP
funds; $750,000 was allocated for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and
re-sale of foreclosed properties through the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency (MHFA).
• Program income was generated when the final gap to be funded by
NSP funds was smaller than anticipated. These overages allowed the
program to accomplish more than the original four single-family
rehabilitation projects.
• No additional program income will be generated. The home currently
being renovated through this program will be the final NSP project
undertaken by GMHC on behalf of Richfield.
E. LEGAL
• Legal counsel drafted the Amendment to NSP 1 Developer
Agreement.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S�
• Do not approve the Amendment to NSP 1 Developer Agreement.

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Motion: Approve a contract with TMS Construction for demolition
of 6321 Penn Avenue, 1403-1405 East 66th Street and 1407 East 66th
Street.
II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) owns three properties located at
6321 Penn Avenue, 1403-05 East 66th Street and 1407 East 66th Street. The HRA
plans to demolish the existing substandard structures and make the lots available
for redevelopment. The houses are currently vacant and have been vacant for a
