HRA Letter No. 5
Agenda January 22, 1991
Issue Statement•
Recommendations•for the interim use and management of 77th Street
properties.
Background•
Homes are being purchased to provide for the future expansion of
77th Street. Within the ILN redevelopment project, 16 homes are
required. To date, 12 homes are owned by the HRA (offers have
been made on two additional properties and two owners have not
yet indicated a desire to sell). HRA funds are used for the
initial purchase of these properties with subsequent
reimbursement by Municipal State Aid (MSA).
East of the ILN, residential property is also being purchased.
The only available funds are from RALF (Right of Way Acquisition
Loan Fund) which is administered by the Metropolitan Council. To
date, with City Council authorization, two properties have been
purchased. Two additional properties are being processed for
purchase. RALF may only be used for owner-occupied dwellings
with owners who must sell the property to relieve a financial or
health hardship.
All purchases are voluntary. When people desire to sell to meet
personal needs, staff responds. When the purchases were
initiated in the ILN, it was with the expectation that 77th
Street improvements would be underway in 1989. With regard to
the RALF area, it was hoped that a first phase could be underway
in 1990.
Last fall, staff began to study the feasibility of renting these
properties.. Questions evaluated included the following:
1. Can the city and/or the HRA legally rent these homes to the
general public?
2. Are all the houses appropriate for renting?
3. What should be the disposition of homes not suitable for
renting?
4. What would it cost to ready houses for rental (code work,
general maintenance, appliance purchase)?
5. Would management companies be interested in overseeing these
properties?
6. Would operating income cover expenses?
7. Are there social needs which could be met by any of these
homes?
Recommended Motion:
As a result of the preliminary evaluation, it is recommended that
staff be authorized to undertake the following:
1. Prepare a request of the City Council, that the HRA be
designated to manage the RALF property.
2. Solicit estimates for the demolition of 7600 and 7645
Emerson Avenue to include backfilling and seeding.
3. Seek offers to purchase for removal from their sites
structures at 7644 Aldrich and 7644 Colfax Avenues. The
holes would be backfilled and the soil seeded.
4. Obtain estimates from contractors for the cost to prepare
houses for renting.
5. Seek proposals from property management companies regarding:
- suitability of renting each house;
- management costs;
- rent level for each property; and,
- estimated time required to rent the homes.
However, prior to seeking proposals, staff would determine.
the likely leasing period. Available information indicates
that a longer rental period makes it possible to charge a
higher rent and to obtain a higher quality tenant. If rents
cannot be maximized, income may not cover operating costs.
Eighteen months is reportedly an ideal minimum time period.
At the other extreme, a month to month term would have a
high risk for recovering rent preparation costs. Management
companies are also apprehensive about month to month
situations.
6. Study with Project For Pride In Living (PPL), a metropolitan
area non-profit organization, the feasibility of utilizing a
limited number of these properties for a homeownership
training program.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. A review of the statutes indicates only the HRA may rent
residential property to the general public. Cities are
not empowered to do so.
2. The condition of 7600 and 7645 Emerson. Avenue does not
warrant consideration for anything other than demolition.
The holes would be backfilled and the soil seeded.
3. Both 7644 Aldrich and 7644 Colfax Avenue are suitable for
moving, neither is feasible to repair. The Aldrich
property has a severe basement moisture problem and the
Colfax property requires extensive work to the electrical
system.
4. The preliminary analysis indicates that income could meet
expenses. However, the next step is to request contractors
to submit proposals.
Code compliance costs are estimated
to average per property $1,600 - $2,600
Non-code related clean-up costs. are
estimated per property at $600
Purchase of reconditioned .appliances,
stove and refrigerator $ 400 - $ 600
Total estimated average cost per
property $2,600 - $3,800
These figures resulted from a code compliance inspection
by the Inspection Division, and an analysis of those reports
by rehabilitation staff.
5. Neither the HRA nor the City is staffed to rent and manage
this number of rental properties.
6. PPL operates a program for people who wish to become home
owners. As tenants of a single family rental property,
PPL provides education for ownership. Program participants
are closely monitored to assure a successful training
experience.
As appropriate, staff will report to the HRA on the results of
the above final feasibility process.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Modify any element discussed above.
2. Continue to keep the structures "as is".
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Spring is typically a good time to rent property. By pursuing
these recommendations now, it may be possible to minimize costs
due to the slump in the construction business and have the homes
ready for rental in the spring if rental continues to be
economically feasible.

HRA Letter No.3
Agenda January 22, 1991
Issue Statement:
Resolutions designating official depositories for the HRA of
Richfield for 1991, including the approval of collateral.
Background:
In accordance with .Minnesota Statutes Section 475.66 and 118.005,
the HRA of Richfield must annually establish financial
institutions which have pledged the necessary. collateral over and
above the amount of federal insurance, as public depositories.
The First Western Bank is pledging collateral in the amount of
$2,000,000. This collateral pledge means that the HRA's deposits
up to this amount are secured with the. depository. In addition
to this collateral pledge, HRA funds are protected by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of $100,000, making
the total protection afforded by this depository for HRA funds
equal to 2,100,000. A resolution naming the First Western Bank
as the 1991 official depository for the Richfield Housing and
Redevelopment Authority is attached to this letter.
A resolution must be provided annually, designating certain
savings and. loan associations and banks as official depositories
for 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
$100,000.
Finally, a resolution is also attached which designates certain
financial institutions as depositories for the investment of HRA
Funds for 1991. These institutions, such as investment brokerage
firms offer government securities in the manner require by law.
These financial institutions include Richfield Bank and Trust
Co., Marquette Bank Minneapolis, Merrill Lynch, Dain Bosworth,
Prudential Bache, Kidder, Peabody, Norwest Investment Services,
Piper, Jaffray & Hopwood and State Street Bank & Trust.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the HRA 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.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. It is recommended that the HRA 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.
2. The HRA has worked with the institutions recommended in the
past and has found to have a good working relationship with
these institutions.
Alternative Recommendation:
The HRA could solicit other financial institutions for official
depositories, but past relationships with the depositories
recommended have proven satisfactory for the HRA.
Discussion/Decision Mode:.
Action of the HRA is desirable at the January 22, 1991, HRA
meeting so that the HRA may invest funds in the approved
financial institutions for the year 1991 immediately.

That the HRA move to designate Steven Devich, Director of
Administrative Services, as the Acting Executive Director of the
HRA.

business action of the HRA similar to designation of
depositories and official newspaper.
2. The Administrative Services Director has been designated as
the Acting Executive Director in the past.
3. The Administrative Services Director serves as the Acting
City Manager, filling other similar responsibilities for the
City Manager in the Manager's absence.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Make no designation of Acting Executive Director.
2. Make the designation of Acting Executive Director to another
individual or position.
Discussion~Decision Mode:
Designation of the Acting Executive Director is a matter that
would .normally be considered at the first business meeting of
