CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
HRA Letter No. 34
September 19, 1988
Issue Statement
Adoption of a resolution authorizing execution of an Annual
Contribution Contract (ACC) to receive Section 8 Voucher Housing
Assistance Payments from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).
Background-
On September 12, 1988, the HRA was notified by HUD that an
allocation of housing assistance was being made available. A
summary follows:
-HUD will provide $280,.15 annually and $1,402,075 over a five
year period to provide housing payment assistance to clients
and administrative fees to the HRA.
-Approximately 53 or slightly more households (41-2 bedroom and
12-3 bedroom) will benefit, depending on the unit mix that is
finalized in cooperation with HUD.
-The ACC must be executed prior to September 30, 1988, preferably
on September 19, 1988 to demonstrate to HUD the HRA's intent
to accept the allocation.
-Documentation which supports the ACC must be prepared (the
annual budget, administrative plan, equal opportunity plan,
and utility allowance schedule), submitted, and approved by
HUD before the ACC is effective and voucher lease-up can begin.
Richfield presently serves, on behalf of Metro HRA, 379 units
(316 certificates and 63 vouchers). The 53 unit voucher
allocation directly from HUD, when exchanged one for one with
existing certificates will result in the following program
configuration:
Number of Units Type of Assistance Administering Entity
53 Vouchers Richfield HRA
63 Vouchers Richfield HRA on behalf
of Metro HRA
263 Certificates Richfield HRA on behalf.
of Metro HRA
This arrangement raises several issues, the answers to which
staff is presently pursuing.
1) How can the 263 certificate and 63 voucher clients
that cannot benefit from a Richfield allocation at this
time be served? ;A recommended course of action is to develop
a program to replace these vouchers. The program would be
phased over a period of time.
~~ 4/
Potential possibilities include:
-written commitments, if possible, from HUD and Metro
HRA to continue to assist Richfield in securing additional
allocations.
-action by the HRA and City Council to adopt a modified
resolution by September 30, 1988 to allow the
Richfield HRA/Metro HRA administrative relationship to
continue while replacement units are sought. The next
available allocation may occur in Spring, 1989. Richfield
would be reimbursed at a $13.50 per unit per month rate
for administrative expenses with such an administrative
relationship.
-negotiations with Metro HRA to release the 63 Metro HRA
vouchers to Richfield.
2) How to serve the 53 voucher households being made available
to Richfield: Utilization of readily available technical
resources to ensure a rapid lease up would be appropriate.
-HUD seeks lease-up by September 30 but has offered
to consider a flexible alternative schedule.
-Metro HRA has offered for a fee to be determined, to act
asp a fiscal agent for the HRA; assisting in the preparation
of annual budgets, making monthly housing assistance
payments, and providing general advice on program
administration.
-The required documentation is being prepared by staff at
this time in consultation with Metro HRA and HUD.
While much appears unresolved, the HRA has until October 7, 1988
to finalize a course of action. This date is the expiration date
for all agreements with Metro HRA. Richfield residents can no
longer receive Metro HRA housing assistance without an agreement
after this date. Metro HRA suggests an earlier deadline, prior
to October 1, 1988, since October lease-up situations are
affected by whether Richfield is still part of the Metro system.
HUD suggests a still earlier deadline, prior to September 30,
1988 since the allocation of assistance will be lost on this date
(the end of the federal fiscal year) if an ACC is not executed.
9Zecommendation:
Adopt the resolution authorizing execution of an ACC which
provides $280,415 annually and $1,402,075 over a five year period
from HUD for Section 8 voucher housing payment assistance and
administrative fees. (The resolution will be available Monday
evening.)
~~
Basis of Recommendation:
1. HUD has offered an allocation of budget authority for
housing assistance.
2. HUD is cooperating in providing Richfield an independent
program given funds that are presently available to them
to distribute.
3. Metro HRA is cooperating in assisting Richfield in
implementing an independent program, including
administrative financial consultation.
4. 379 Richfield households are at risk of losing housing
assistance benefits unless they move elsewhere in the Metro
HRA system.
5. Partial independence sets a precedence for future
allocation and support.
6. Partial independence provides additional administrative
revenues, although not enough to offset all HRA
contributions to date.
Alternative Recommendation:
The HRA may choose to not authorize the ACC and withdraw from
administration of the Section 8 in Richfield. However, if that
course was selected either 379 clients would have to relocate
from Richfield or the HRA and City Council would have to
authorize the Metropolitan Council to assume all administrative
responsibilities.
Decision Mode:
If authorized the executed ACC would be returned to HUD
immediately. Lease-Up could begin once the other documentation
is completed and submitted to HUD. Tentatively, the
documentation is to be prepared by September 30, 1988. A special
HRA meeting on or before September 30, 1988 will be required to
re-authorize a working relationship with Metro HRA.

Redevelopment Plan
for
The 70th Street and Penn Avenue
Redevelopment Project
A. Statement of Public Purpose
It is found that the public interest requires neighborhood
replanning to redevelop and remedy conditions of underutitlized
land; that in order to foster and facilitate the growth of the
City's commercial base, it is necessary to encourage private
enterprise to engage in the redevelopment of land which is to be
constructed in accordance with a comprehensive community plan.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of
Richfield, Minnesota (HRA), and the City Council of the City of
Richfield, Minnesota (City), have determined that public
intervention is necessary in the 70th Street and Penn Avenue
Redevelopment Area for the conveyance of tax-forfeited land to
remedy conditions of under-utilized land and physical blight
which the private market has not been willing and/or able to
accomplish independently.
B. Statutory Authority
The statutory authority for the undertaking of a
redevelopment project in the 70th Street and Penn Avenue Area and
the redevelopment activities proposed in the redevelopment plan
relating thereto is conferred upon the HRA pursuant to and in
accordance with the Economic Development Act, Minn.Stat., Sec.
469.001 to 469.047, inclusive, as amended. Specifically, Minn..
Stat., Sec. 469.027 establishes the requirements for
redevelopment plan preparation by an HRA prior to undertaking
property acquisition and redevelopment.
C. Description of the Redevelopment Project Area
In order to guide the development and redevelopment in the
70th Street and Penn Avenue Area, the HRA has created this
redevelopment plan. Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.002, sub.
12, the proposed project meets the definition of a redevelopment
project, defined in Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.002, subdivision 14,
and will henceforth, be referred to as the redevelopment project.
The redevelopment. project area boundary encompasses all that real
property within an area described as follows:
The parcel boundaries for Lot 13, Block 10, Tingdale
Brothers Lincoln Hills Second Addition and Lot 10,
Block 10, Woodlake Highlands Addition, except the
coterminous boundary line which separates the two lots.

1. Description of Anticipated Private Development Activities
The proposal for redevelopment of the project area calls for
the construction of a new office building and related surface
parking to be situated on vacant, tax-forfeited land which has
been underutilized for a number of years.
Specifically, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority would
acquire the tax-forfeited land from the County and convey the
land to a private developer. The anticipated construction will
be initiated and completed during 1989.
The office building will be utilized for non-retail office
purposes, approximating 3,800 square feet.
Landscaping will be utilized to increase the aesthetic
appeal of the office building and protect the neighboring
residential area.
Any and all proposals by the developer will be reviewed by
the HRA to determine conformance with the redevelopment plan and
applicable municipal ordinances and codes. To facilitate this
effort, the following documents may be requested for review and
approval: site plan; construction, mechanical, and electrical
system drawings; landscaping plan; grading and storm drainage
plan; signage system plan; and any other drawings or narrative
deemed necessary by the HRA to demonstrate the conformance of the
development with the redevelopment plan. Land acquired by the
HRA will be subject to a contract for sale upon disposition to
the developer. The general requirements to be imposed upon the
developer by the contract for sale are:
1. To redevelop the land purchased in accordance with this
redevelopment plan;
2. To commence and complete the building of improvements on
the land within specified periods of time;
3. Not to resell the land before improvements are made
without the prior consent of the HRA; and
4. Not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex,
creed, or national origin on the sale, lease, transfer,
or occupancy of the land purchased from the HRA.
2. Description of Anticipated Public Development Activities
The proposed public development activities in the
redevelopment project area would be undertaken by the HRA and
City in order to support the private development activities and
facilitate redevelopment of the area in a manner suitable to
overall development plans. These activities include acquisition
of the tax-forfeited land by the HRA from the County and
conveyance to the developer contingent upon mutual agreements set
forth in the Contract for Redevelopment.

HRA Letter No. 31
September 19, 1988
Issue Statement
Authorization to extend Energy Program Agreements.
Background•
Since 1985, the City has contracted with Northern States Power
(NSP) and the Self Reliance Center (SRC) to provide residential
energy conservation services. The agreement with NSP has
expired. The agreement with SRC is due to expire later this
month. The HRA assumed the City responsibility for program
administration in 1988. Therefore, the HRA is being requested to
authorize extension of the agreements.
The purpose of the NSP agreement is to implement energy
conservation programs as required by the Minnesota Public
Utilities Commission (MPUC). NSP is required to contribute
financial assistance to local units of government that form
Community Energy Councils (CFCs). For Richfield, the HRA is the
CEC. The agreement between NSP and the HRA provides
approximately $40,000 to pay the cost of residential energy
audits. Since the NSP agreement has no specific end date, it
provides the opportunity to fund audit services for a period in
excess of the next year unless .the MPUC determines otherwise.
Each audit costs approximately $105. NSP pays $95 and the
participating households (NSP customers) are charged $10. The
audit helps homeowners make energy conservation decisions, and
allows them to be eligible for assistance programs that the HRA
and other agencies offer.
The purpose of the SRC agreement is to deliver audit (evaluation)
and housedoctor (weatherization) services. The audit is called
the "Home Energy Checkup" (HEC). For the $105, SRC's trained
personnel evaluate the building, heating system, insulation
levels, household electrical consumption, and life style of the
residents. Approximately $20 in weatherization materials are
also provided free. Senior citizens and lower income residents
benefit from a slightly longer audit which includes the
installation of some of the free weatherization materials.
Lower income residents also benefit from the housedoctor service
which SRC provides. Housedoctoring, the reduction of air
infiltration by detecting bypasses and weatherizing, costs $420
for each house. CDBG funds pay for the total cost of
housedoctoring for households with incomes at or below 50 percent
of the area median income ($14,250 to $26,850 depending on family
size).
During the past year, SRC has provided approximately 400 audits
and 15 housedoctor services. The agreement remains basically the
same as previously utilized.
The agreement requires the HRA to identify, and SRC to perform,
approximately 45 audits a month during October, 1988 through
March, 1989. During the remainder of the contract period (April
through September, 1989), lesser numbers would be completed on a
resident requested basis, consistent with a drop in demand
following the end of the heating season. A total of 315 audits
are anticipated and NSP has sufficient revenues to fund this
amount. With approximately $17,000 available in CDBG funds,
housedoctor services can be provided through December, 1988.
More housedoctor services will be available in 1989 if a funding
source is available.
Recommendation:
1. Authorize the agreement with NSP beginning October 1, 1988.
2. Authorize the agreement with SRC for energy conservation
services during the period October 1, 1988 through
September 30, 1989.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The present agreements ,have or are about to expire
2. Authorization will allow the energy program services to
continue uninterrupted into the upcoming heating season.
3. Legal counsel has previously reviewed the form and content
of the agreements and there are no significant changes.
4. SRC is familiar with the Richfield Audit and Housedoctor
program, and remains one of a few contractors with the
knowledge and ability to provide both energy audits and
housedoctor services.
Alternative Recommendation:
Not approve the extension of agreements with NSP and SRC.
Decision Mode:
If the extensions are authorized, the agreements would be
executed to provide uninterrupted service.

HRA Letter No.30
September 19, 1988 Agenda
Issue Statement:
Authorization to execute contract with South Hennepin Vocational
Technical School (Vo-Tech) to initiate a 1988-89 New Home
project.
Background:
Vo-Tech has requested that the HRA participate in a new
construction project for the school year 1988/89. The two
organizations have participated together in 11 projects since
1977. The projects benefit both parties. They provide
rehabilitation and new construction training opportunities for
the Vo-Tech students and affordable housing at reduced cost for
the HRA. This will be the second new construction project
wherein a structure will be built at the Vo-Tech campus, moved to
the site, and placed on a permanent foundation.
On August 17, 1987, the HRA authorized staff to acquire the
property at 6840 Humboldt Avenue through the Voluntary
Acquisition Program. During the interim, staff has arranged for
property maintenance and developed project plans in cooperation
with Vo-Tech architectural drafting faculty.
The new house will have approximately 1430 square feet of
finished living area. It will feature a split entry design, four
bedrooms, one and 3/4 bathrooms, a living room, separate dining
area, unfinished space on the lower level for a family room, a
deck adjacent to the dining area, and a 16' x 20' driveway and
20' x 20' parking pad with access from 69th Street.
The new construction contract requires:
-the construction of a permanent foundation at 6840 Humboldt
Avenue.
-the construction and relocation of a split entry style house
to 6840 Humboldt Avenue from the campus.
-the installation of heating, electrical and plumbing
systems.
-interior finishing; floor coverings, millwork, painting and
staining.
-completion by October, 1989.
The amount of the Vo-Tech contract for the new construction
project is not to exceed $56,501. The estimated project costs,
with reference to ..funding source, follows:

$2,500 Proceeds of Sale
$108,376
The major elements of the contract include:
-Supervision of labor and insurance coverage to be the
responsibility of Vo-Tech.
-Vo-Tech is responsible for a one year warranty for defects
caused by faulty workmanship or defective materials, a two-
year warranty on installation of plumbing, electrical,
heating and cooling systems, and a ten-year warranty on
structural defects. (This warranty is required by state
law).
-A provision specifying Vo-Tech's responsibilities for house
moving that ensures all permits have been secured, and that
all Richfield city departments are notified far enough in
advance of the move to minimize disruptions to area
residents.
-A provision specifying the Vo-Tech's responsibilities
concerning timely completion of the exterior facade, and
routine site maintenance during the construction period.
Contractors continue to complete the electrical, plumbing and
heating portions of the work. Legal counsel has previously
reviewed the contract requirements. A copy of the floor plans
and building elevations accompany this letter.
The home will be sold to a first time homebuying family of four
to eight members having a moderate income (as determined by
Section 8 income limits) of between $25,000 and $40,500.
Although the completed value of the home has not yet been
determined by independent appraisal, staff estimates that the
value should approximate $85,000. The initial purchase price
would more closely approximate $68,000 and a second lien would be
used to recover any difference. The proceeds of sale are
utilized to pay the contract. It is anticipated that a reduced
interest rate mortgage would be secured from the Minnesota
Housing Finance Agency in the summer of 1989, if available. FHA
financing is an accceptable alternative pending mortgage interest
rates at the time.
r/-~.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the HRA adopt the attached resolution
authorizing the execution of the Vo-Tech contract in the amount
of $56,501, for the 1988-89 new construction project at 6840
Humboldt Avenue.
Basis for Recommendation:
1. The site has been cleared and is ready for development.
2. Plans have been developed and reviewed by staff to meet
program needs of the HRA.
3. The inspection division has had an opportunity to review
the plans for the project.
4. Site development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and can occur without a variance.
5. Adjoining neighbors have all indicated they anticipate no
problem and welcome the development
Alternative Recommendation:
Do not authorize execution of the Vo-Tech contract. This would
delay development which could prohibit the Vo-Tech from including
the project in their 1988-89 curriculum schedule.
Decision Mode-
The Humboldt project will be started on campus later this month.
Contract execution would occur immediately to avoid delays in
project development and to ensure that construction is initiated
according to the approved plans.
