HRA Letter No. 29
Agenda, September 18, 1989
Issue Statement:
Setting date for HRA Budget Hearing for 1989 Revised/1990
Proposed Budget.
Background:
Each year the HRA conducts a budget hearing process for the
revised current year and proposed current year budgets. The
budget preparation process for the HRA for the 1989 Revised and
1990 Proposed Budgets are somewhat modified due to the change in
the Truth in Taxation Law and the ultimate change in the
certification dates by the Commissioner of Revenue. It is
recommended that October 16, 1989 at 7:00 p.m. be the appointed
time for this year's Budget Hearing. The proposed HRA levy has
previously been approved by the City Council as part of the
City's total proposed levy for 1990.
Recommended Motion:
Establish October 16, 1989 at 7:00 p.m. as the appointed time for
the 1989 Revised/1990 HRA Budget Hearing.
Basis for Recommendation:
• 1. The regular meeting date in October for the HRA would fit
into the City's 1990 budget adoption process.
2. The proposed budget has been prepared and is ready for HRA
consideration.
Alternative Recommendation:
The HRA could select an alternative date for the HRA Budget
Hearing.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Action to select a budget date should be taken at the current HRA
meeting so that adequate time is available to make proper
notification of Budget Hearing dates.

HRA Letter No. 28
Agenda, September 16,'1989
Issue Statement:
Termination of Section 8 Program Fiscal Agent Services
Agreement.
Background:
In 1988, the Richfield HRA, began to develop its own Section 8
program. In November, 1988, to ease the initial administrative
burden, staff was authorized to use the Metropolitan Council HRA
(Metro HRA) to perform the following fiscal tasks required for
program administration:
- prepare all HUD budget and requisition forms
- issue monthly housing assistance payments, and
- prepare other reports required by HUD and related internal
reports that assist with program monitoring.
The services were provided under a fiscal agent agreement. The
Metro HRA service costs are projected at $7,040 for calendar year
1989, and $3,600 for the close out of 1989 during the first three
• months of 1990. The agreement may be terminated by a 90 day
written notice by either party to the other.
Because the end of the fiscal year is December 31, it was
appropriate for staff to evaluate terminating the agreement. Two
options were considered:
1) Continue the service. Metro HRA has provided the service in
a cooperative and timely manner. (Staff has been able to
focus on other administrative activities which could only be
accomplished internally).
2) Discontinue the service and internalize the fiscal functions.
Recommended Motion:
Internalize fiscal functions by adopting the attached resolution
which authorizes the Chairman and Executive Director to take
those actions necessary to discontinue the Metro HRA services
with the close out of the 1989 fiscal year. The services of Metro
HRA would be utilized during the first quarter of 1990 only to
the extent required by HUD to close out fiscal 1989. Beginning
with 1990 fiscal year tasks, Richfield staff would assume the
responsibility.
Basis of Recommendation:
• 1. The most appropriate time to internalize the fiscal functions
is at the beginning of a new fiscal year.
2. By the end of 1989, staff will have the necessary training
• and knowledge. Recently acquired hardware and software have
provided the processing capability to perform the tasks.
3. In cooperation with the Finance Division internal accounting
and financial management practices will be formulated so
that:
a) HUD program requirements can be met.
b) Compliance with laws and regulations regarding data
confidentially can be assured.
c) Monthly housing assistance payments can be generated
by blending HUD/HRA needs with Finance Division
procedures.
4. The finance work can be accomplished internally at a lower
cost than the fee charged by Metro HRA.
Alternative Recommendation:
1) Continue the Metro HRA services.
2) Continue with another fiscal agent.
3) Defer action to a later time.
•
Decision/Discussion Mode:
Notification to Metro HRA by September 29, will comply with the
90 day notice provision of the agreement.

HRA Letter No. _.- 27
Agenda, September 18, 1989
Issue Statement:
Authorization to extend Energy Program Agreement.
Background:
Since 1985, Richfield has contracted with the Self Reliance
Center (SRC) to deliver "Bundle Up Richfield" energy program
services. The current agreement with SRC, which was authorized
by the HRA in September, 1988, expires September 30, 1989.
SRC has provided approximately 1,600 audit and 190 housedoctor
types of services during our long relationship. Approximately 50
audit recipients had furnaces which tested positive for
inappropriate carbon monoxide gas levels and were able to take
corrective action because of SRC's evaluation. Also, SRC is the
audit contractor which has been responsible for the audit service
which earned Richfield both state and national awards of
excellence during 1987 and 1988.
The present agreement, and proposed extension includes
appropriate insurance, liability, and hold harmless provisions.
SRC personnel operate in accordance with a professional auditor
code of ethics, state certifications, and performance standards
• required by HRD staff.
The scope of services delivered by SRC are funded by Northern
States Power (NSP) as required by the Minnesota Public Utilities
Commission (MNPUC). Services include energy audits, called the
Home Energy Checkup (HEC) and a pilot project called the
Continuing Support Home Energy Checkup (CS/HEC). The CS/HEC
allows auditors to return to a home at the request of a resident
to evaluate the effectiveness of owner initiated energy
conservation improvements.
At the present time, approximately 30 requests for HEC's are
waiting to be serviced. It is expected that approximately 50
requests for HEC's will be received each month during the
remainder of 1989. The funding of the anticipated services
represents a contribution of approximately $24,775 from NSP.
Homeowners pay $10. The HRA provides staff support.
However, NSP recently proposed to the MNPUC a change in services
to start January 1, 1990. A memorandum to the HRA dated August
16 discussed the situation further. To summarize:
- a funding cut of one-third per audit service is proposed;
the cut would reduce the quality and effectiveness of
• the audit;
the MNPUC is considering the NSP request;
• - staff is anticipating an opportunity, during a public
commenting period later in September, to respond with
our concerns to the NSP Proposal.
This possible change in scope of services is not covered by the
existing agreements with SRC. Nor, can it be determined at this
time what the scope of services will be while the MNPUC considers
the NSP request.
Thus, there is an interim period from October 1, 1989 to January
1, 1990 for which services remain unchanged and an extension of
the existing agreement with SRC is a practical response. Staff
would return to the HRA when sufficient service information is
available to deal with program delivery in 1990.
Recommended Motion:
Authorize the extension of an agreement with SRC to provide
continuous service through the end of 1989.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The present agreement expires September 30.
2. Authorization will allow the Richfield Energy Program
services to continue uninterrupted to January 1, 1990.
• 3. SRC is familiar with the Richfield Energy Program services
and is one of the few contractors with the knowledge,
ability and staff to provide the needed services.
4. Legal Counsel has reviewed the agreement and drafted the
extension document.
Alternative Recommendation:
Not approve the extension of the agreement. However, resident
service would be interrupted.
Decision/Decision Mode:
If the extension is authorized, the agreement would be executed
to provide uninterrupted service.

• HRA Letter No. :26
September 18, 1989 Agenda
Issue Statement:
Authorization to acquire 6321 Morgan Avenue South.
Background:
The HRA has utilized the Voluntary Acquisition Program since 1980
to acquire substandard properties for redevelopment. The Vo-Tech
or private developers have developed these sites with new housing
units for moderate income families.
The Morgan Avenue property is owner occupied, substandard as to
structure location and has deferred maintenance. The owner,
through participation in the Voluntary Acquisition Program, has
indicated an interest in selling the property to the HRA.
The property has a 1989 assessed value of $38,700. An
independent appraiser valued the property at $32,000. Staff has
negotiated a purchase price of $32,000 pending authorization by
the HRA.
The one bedroom structure is located at the back of the lot and
has approximately 670 sq. ft. on one level. The owner, Pearl
Raffit, is seeking a change to an apartment living arrangement.
• The HRA would be responsible for site clearance and property
maintenance following acquisition. The 1989 Revised/1990 budget,
provides $6,000 to clear the site (source: CDBG XV), $600 for
legal work to acquire (source: CDBG XV) and $100 for property
maintenance and insurance (source: proceeds of sale of 1989 Vo-
Tech project). The property would be tax exempt until
development is completed. It is anticipated that Vo-Tech will
build a new house on the site starting in the Spring, 1990.
A finding by the Planning Commission that acquisition and
disposition of the property for single family purposes is in
conformance with the comprehensive plan, is pending at their
meeting of September 26, 1989. An HRA authorization to acquire
is contingent on the finding.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the HRA adopt the attached resolution
which authorizes the Chairperson and Executive Director to enter
into a purchase agreement and take other actions necessary for
the HRA to acquire the property at 6321 Morgan Avenue South for
$32,000.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The property owner is interested in selling to the HRA through
the Voluntary Acquisition Program.
i 2. The property qualifies for acquisition in accordance with the
Voluntary Acquisition Program Guidelines.
• 3. Funds have been budgeted for acquisition, clearance, and
maintenance.
4. The subject property is the only one offered at this time
which can be purchased given the funds available.
Alternative Recommendation:
The HRA can choose not to acquire the property. However, staff
presently has no alternative for the timely expenditure of CDBG
funds and the development of a future Vo-Tech project. Any
alternative will not be less costly to acquire.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Delay of action will prolong poor housing conditions for the
seller. Pending HRA authorization and the Planning Commission
finding, the property could be acquired September 29, 1989.

HRA Letter No. 25
Agenda, September 18, 1989
Issue Statement:
Adoption of resolution establishing just compensation and
authorizing the purchase of 7644 Aldrich Avenue, 7644 Bryant
Avenue, 7645 Dupont Avenue, and 7612 Emerson Avenue.
Background:
In the fall of 1985, the Interstate/Lyndale/Nicollet (ILN)
Redevelopment and Tax Increment Financing Plan (Plan) was
approved. The purpose of the Plan was to establish a long range
strategy for redevelopment of the area. The Plan, in accordance
with statutory authority, authorized the HRA to undertake site
assembly activities. An integral part of the Plan provided for
separation of the residential and commercial uses through the
upgrading of 77th Street. The initial implementation of the Plan
began in 1987 when the HRA authorized the purchase of property
east of Lyndale Avenue. These acquisitions permitted the
installation of public improvements adjacent to 77th Street.
The City Council has recently authorized the expenditure of
Municipal State Aid (MSA) revenues for purchase of additional
property west of Lyndale Avenue. MSA funds are derived from
state gasoline tax revenues. MN Dept. of Transportation (MNDOT)
• makes the funds available to cities. The funds may be used for a
variety of activities related to construction of new roads and
maintenance of existing roads. In this situation, the money will
be used to purchase right-of-way, and pay relocation benefits.
Site clearance and road construction will be dealt with later.
To implement the upgrading of 77th Street, it will be necessary
to purchase sixteen homes, (see attached map). In May and June,
the HRA authorized the purchase of eight homes. To date, seven
are owned by the HRA. A purchase agreement has been signed on
the eighth property. Title issues have delayed one closing.
During July, four additional owners indicated an interest in
selling.
MNDOT rules prescribe the process to be followed when purchasing
property. The four properties were appraised by Mark Hoffman and
Bill Chase of Chase-Brackett Company. A certified review
appraiser, Mr. Don Hennessy, reviewed the appraisal reports and
concurs with the analysis and the value conclusion for each
property. He has recommended setting just compensation at the
values indicated in the resolution which total $353,000. (See
Attachment B for description of property). Residents in these
homes would also be eligible for relocation benefits as required
by state statute and MNDOT procedures.
Staff is studying the future use of these homes once they are
purchased. Some owners will likely move quickly, others may wish
• to stay for a period of time. For those desirous of staying,
rent would be charged at a rate so the former owners could be
made responsible for maintenance activities. For the longer
• term, staff is exploring the feasibility of utilizing the
structures at scattered sites within the City.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution which sets just compensation and
authorizes staff to negotiate and purchase the property at the
values indicated. The Executive Director and HRA Chairperson are
authorized to execute purchase agreements in the amount of just
compensation.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The properties have been identified for acquisition in the
approved Plan.
2. MSA funds are available for the acquisition.
3. The owners have voluntarily indicated an interest in
receiving an offer to purchase .
4. Applicable MNDOT procedures are being followed.
5. It is consistent with recent previous HRA action which has
authorized the purchase of eight homes.
Alternative Recommendation:
Not authorize negotiations and purchase.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
These owners are anxious to complete the acquisition and
• relocation process before winter.

HRA Letter No. .24
Agenda, September 18, 1989
Issue Statement:
Approval of Modification Number 2, Interstate Lyndale Nicollet
Redevelopment and Tax Increment Financing Plan (ILN Plan).
Background:
The ILN Plan was adopted by the HRA on October 21, 1985 and
approved by the City Council November 12, 1985. At the time, it
was formulated to facilitate not only the upgrading of public
rights-of-way but also the development proposed by C.D.R. It
thus focused on 77th Street and the "Cloverleaf site".
The HRA and staff are now working with The Robert Larsen
Partners. It would be appropriate to begin the process of
modifying the ILN Plan to facilitate the Larsen concept.
Modification Number 2, places all of the property between 77th
Street and 1494 from Lyndale to Emerson Avenues in the
acquisition category. This identification would indicate that
the acquisition of this property by Larsen would be in
conformance with the ILN Plan. Such identification would also
permit the HRA to acquire the property.
The ILN Plan budget is not being modified at this time. If a
review of that budget and the Larsen concept indicates a change
is needed, a subsequent modification would be proposed.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt the attached resolution which approves the ILN Plan
Modification Number 2. The adoption is subject to a finding from
the Planning Commission that the modification is in conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan. The resolution also requests the
City Council to schedule a public hearing on the modification and
to then approve it.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The ILN Plan was approved in late 1985.
2. The Robert Larsen concept varies from the C.D.R. concept.
3. The ILN Plan must accurately reflect the redevelopment to be
pursued.

. Decision/Decision Mode:
Modifying the ILN Plan is time consuming. If the HRA approves
adoption on September 18th, a favorable response from both the
Planning Commission and the City Council would mean the earliest
effective date would be October 23, 1989. Delay by the HRA would
prolong the effective date.
