RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Authorize a modification to the Transformation Home Loan Program to provide a sup lemental grant. II. BACKGROUND For 20 years Richfield has encouraged remodeling and home improvement through the Richfield Remodeling Fair (Fair). The 20th Annual Fair is scheduled for January 22, 2011. Over the past 20 years the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has worked with the Visions Committee in planning and presenting information at the Fair. The Visions Committee asked the HRA and City to consider offering additional incentives for this landmark year of the Fair. In recognition of the 20th Anniversary of the Fair, staff is recommending the HRA modify the Transformation Home Loan Program to provide a $2,000 grant in addition to the deferred loan, up to $10,000 total, to loan applicants who meet the following criteria. 1) The applicants attended the Remodeling Fair 12210 Modify TH Loan Program 20~" Remodeling Fair 2) The applicants submitted an application that qualifies to receive loan funds. Grant funds would be above and beyond the loan amount approved for each applicant. Loan amounts are 15% of the total costs of projects valued at $50,000 or more, up to a maximum $25,000 loan. Staff will advertise the loan program through press releases to print and online media, through the City's website, cable channel, and online forums, through program brochures and other mailings, and through activities in the City throughout the year. Additionally, staff will provide information to remodelers and contractors providing services in the City, as well as sharing the information with realtors at the annual Realtors' Workshop. Staff may also place signs in the yards where transformations are taking place. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY • The HRA has a primary interest in maintaining and improving the housing stock in the City. With that, the HRA has an interest in supporting the Fair and its success. . • The HRA operates the Transformation Home Loan program to support the following Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies • Goal: Maintain and enhance Richfield's image as a community with strong, desirable and livable neighborhoods o Encourage the use of quality, durable building and landscaping materials to maintain ahigh-quality standard in residential development. o Support the rehabilitation and upgrading of the existing housing stock. o Encourage the creation of "move-up" housing through new construction and home remodeling. o Support ongoing maintenance and upkeep of residential properties. o Ensure redevelopment and infill projects maintain the integrity of existing neighborhoods. • Goal: Ensure sufficient diversity in the housing stock to provide for a range of household sizes, income levels and needs. o Encourage improvements to the housing stock to better serve families with children and seniors. o Promote additional housing diversity to serve families at all stages of their life-cycle through assistance,~incentive programs, and the exploration of possible partnerships. B. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES • The Remodeling Fair is on January 22, 2011. To advertise this opportunity in advance of the Fair, the program modification needs to be approved as soon as possible. C.

PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING • N/A AGENDA IT`~M#: 48 REPORT #: 43 STAFF REPORT HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING DECEMBER 20, 2010 REPORT PREPARED BY: JULIE URBAN, HOUSING SPECIALIST NaarE Trrz,E REPORT PRESENTER: DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR REVIEW: REVIEWED BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: ITEM FOR HRA CONSIDERATION: Consideration of an Architectural Home Consultation Program. I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Authorize funding for an Architectural Home Consultation Program available to Richfield homeowners. II. BACKGROUND The Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) offers several remodeling and new construction programs, including the Transformation Homes Program, and the Richfield Rediscovered Program. The Transformation Homes Program is amajor-remodeling program that provides a deferred loan in the amount of 25% of project costs up to a maximum of $25,000. The Richfield Rediscovered Program is a new construction program that provides opportunities for owner- occupants to build new, move-up housing through either a $70,000 grantor subsidized lots. In an effort to encourage thoughtful expansions and new homes that are integrated into the neighborhood, staff is proposing that the HRA offer an Architectural Home Consultation Program (Program) to homeowners. The Minnesota Chapter of the 122010 Architect Home Consultation Prog.doc KAREN BARYON, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANT DIRECTOR American Institute of Architects (AIA) Residential Committee is interested in partnering with the City to offer the Program. The Program will operate as follows: - A homeowner contacts an architect from an approved list available from the Housing Specialists and on the City's website. - The architect provides a 2-hour consultation in the home (no plans are provided). - The homeowner pays a $25 co-pay for the service. - The HRA pays the remainder of the architect's fee ($225). - The homeowner has the option of hiring the architect for additional work but there is no expectation for that to occur. The consultation will provide the homeowner an opportunity to discuss different options and design ideas for their project with a registered architect. The AIA will contact its members and ask interested firms to submit qualifications. The firms would be required to be an AIA member, offer the services of a registered architect, and have at least 50 percent of their work be residential. The Program is modeled after a similar, successful program offered in St. Louis Park. The service would be required for buyers of Richfield Rediscovered lots unless they are using their own architect. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY ' • The HRA encourages homeowners to remodel and expand their homes. Adding the Architectural Home Consultation Program would provide additional assistance to remodeling homeowners and ensure that additions fit the house style and meet the needs of the homeowner and the neighborhood. • An important component of the Richfield Rediscovered Lot Sale Program is that the house be designed to complement the neighborhood. Offering architectural advice can help to ensure that this requirement is met. • The Program was recommended in the 2009 Urban Land Institute Housing Audit as one means to help the community encourage move- up housing that meets the needs of today's families. B. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES • Responses to the Request for Participation will be due in January 2011. The Program would begin in February. • The Program was identified on the HRA's Work Program for 2010. C. FINANCIAL • Residents will pay a $25 co-pay for the service; the HRA will pay the remaining $225. • $5,625 would be set aside for the Program providing up to 25 architectural visits. • Funds are available for the Program in the 2011 budget. D. LEGAL • NA IV. ALTERNATIVE RECONIlVIENDATION(S~ • Do not to authorize the Architectural Home Consultation Program. V. ATTAC~IlVIENTS • Request for Qualifications -Architectural Home Consultation Program VI. PRINCIl'AL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING • NA ~B -- ~ City of Richfield ~ ,~~T Request for Qualifications-Architectural Home Consultation Program December 10, 2010 Program outline• The City of Richfield recognizes residents' needs to improve their homes for growing families and to remain a healthy and viable community in the Twin Cities area. YVith only a small percentage of the city's homes over 1500 square feet, there have been many home additions completed without much consideration for design. In an effort to encourage more thoughtful additions that are proportional and seamless with the existing homes and maintain the neighborhood feel, the City would like to partner with architects to make design to be part of the process. Additionally, the City's Richfield Rediscovered program continues to facilitate construction of new single-family homes or duplexes throughout the city. In much the same way as architectural advising for home additions, the City will encourage more thoughtful designs so that new construction will complement the existing neighborhoods, but will also offer new housing stock to expand housing options within Richfield. Participants in the Richfield Rediscovered may also utilize this service. The city will pay for 25 two-hour architectural consultations, based on the approved budget for January 2011- December 2011. The Process• Clients will pay $25 for this service. They will then choose from a list of approved architects (gained through this RFQ process) based on information listed on the cities web site: http://www.ci.richfield.mn.us. The architect will visit the client's home for the two-hour consultation to discuss design ideas and to explain the process of working with an architect. No drawings would be provided. The City would pay the architect $225 for the two-hour consultation. If the client hires the architect, the City steps out of the process. Qualifications• 1. AIA member 2.

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Adopt the attached resolution decertifying the Richfield Rediscovered Tax Increment Financing Districts (see resolution for recise wording). II. BACKGROUND The annual review of Richfield's Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts was conducted at the September 20, 2010 Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) meeting. As part of that presentation, HRA staff and financial consultants from Ehlers and Associates recommended that the eleven Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts be decertified. HRA staff and consultants informed the HRA that the eleven Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts have approximately $1,211,458 in their combined cash balance but only a grand total of $570,000 in outstanding debt (Series 2002C General Obligation TIF Bonds). Other than the outstanding debt service, there are no additional costs or indebtedness that are forecast for the existing Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts. Staff suggested that sufficient funds (approximately 12202010 Richfield Rediscovered Decertification $607,540 including fees) from the cash balance could be placed in escrow to make payment on the outstanding debt service on the bonds and the remaining funds ($603,919) be used for other eligible redevelopment activities in 2011. At the September 20, 2010 HRA meeting, the HRA directed staff to proceed with the decertification of the eleven Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts as recommended. Because the Richfield Rediscovered Bonds (200X) were issued by, and are backed by the General Obligation of, the City, staff proceeded to seek approval from the City Council. On November 9, 2010 the Richfield City Council adopted a Resolution authorizing defeasance, prepayment and redemption of the Richfield Rediscovered Bonds and the creation of an escrow account with which to temporarily hold funds for those actions. As the entity charged with the administration of TIF Districts in the City of Richfield, the HRA has authority over the decertification of TIF Districts and the use of any TIF funds resulting from the generation of TIF. The HRA is being asked, therefore, to consider the attached Resolution decertifying the Richfield Rediscovered Tax Increment Financing Districts. III. BASIS OF RECOIVIlVIENDATION A. POLICY • There are sufficient funds available to meet all of the financial obligations of the eleven Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts. • Staff is unaware of any other potential costs or debts associated with the projects associated with the existing Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts. • On September 20, 2010 staff and financial consultants recommended the decertification of the Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts. • On November 9, 2010 the Richfield City Council voted unanimously to defease the bonds associated with the Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts. • The HRA is the body responsible for the decertification of TIF Districts. B. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES • Decertification of the Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts prior to the end of the year would allow for all of the property taxes of the affected properties to be levied at 100% of their current value (rather than levied against their pre-TIF property values). C. FINANCIAL • The outstanding principal balance on the Richfield Rediscovered Bonds (200X) is $570,000. • As of October 31, 2010, the HRA had a combined cash balance in both Richfield Rediscovered districts of $1,211,458. This balance is adequate to defease the debt. • Approximately $607,540 would be required to be placed into an interest earning escrow account until February 2, 2012, at which time the Bonds will be called and paid in full. • At the time of the deposit, the City and HRA could take action to decertify the TIF Districts, and have the property placed on the tax rolls. • Based on 2010 market values, decertifying the Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts in 2010 would place the property on the Pay 2011 tax rolls at full value. This would have the effect to increase the City's tax capacity by $153,573, which equates to approximately $76,523 in City tax dollars. • If the defeasance is approved, this would leave a cash balance of approximately $603,918. This amount is subject to change depending on the timing of the defeasance and the interest rate on the escrow. • The HRA would then have the option to use this remaining balance of cash in the following manner: ^ Retain the cash to assist with low to moderate income housing projects. If this option were chosen the projects must qualify as low to moderate income, per Minnesota Statutes. The projects do not need to be in a current tax increment district. ^ Spend the cash on a project that will create jobs and commence construction prior to July 1, 2011. Under legislation adopted on April 1, 2010, the HRA could use the cash to provide improvements,. loans, or assistance in any form to private development as long as doing so will create or retain jobs in the State. Under the legislation the cash must be expended by December 31, 2011 and there are no restrictions on the type of development. ^ A third option, which staff does not recommend and the City Council is opposed to, would be to return the cash to the County for redistribution. If the cash were returned to the County, the County would redistribute the funds proportionately to the taxing jurisdictions. The City would receive aone-time payment of its portion of the cash estimated at $240,000. The use of the cash would be unrestricted. ~ = • Staff will bring these options back to the HRA at a future meeting with recommendations to determine which option would best serve the community and will keep the City Council informed of subsequent actions. D. LEGAL • Legal counsel has been involved in all discussions regarding the recommended actions and have reviewed the attached Resolution. TERNATIVE None. ACHMENTS V 1.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the HRA of the City of Richfield that the HRA's staff shall take such action as is necessary to cause the County Auditor of Hennepin County to decertify the Richfield Rediscovered TIF Districts as a tax increment districts and to no longer remit tax increments from the district to the HRA contingent on the defeasance of the $1,045,000 General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 200X.

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Approve a request for a subordination of the Apartment Remodeling loan at 6401 Pleasant Avenue with the following condition: • That the mortgage be amended to encumber both 6401 and 6421 Pleasant Avenue. II. BACKGROUND In 1999 an Apartment Remodeling program loan was provided to the building at 6401 Pleasant Avenue. The loan of $11,567 helped to pay for new windows, doors, siding, fascia and soffits in the 11-unit building. The loan is a 15-year deferred loan with no interest and no payments. The owner is interested in refinancing the mortgage on the building. The new mortgage would also encompass the 11-unit building at 6421 Pleasant Avenue. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority's (HRA) mortgage only encumbers the building at 6401 Pleasant Avenue; the loan-to-value ratio (LTA would not meet the 122020106401 Pleasant Sub Appeal KAREN BARYON, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANT DIRECTOR HRA's subordination policy. In order to meet the HRA's required LTV of 80 percent; the mortgage needs to be amended to include both properties. (see attached Subordination Summary). The owner also received a loan of $17,358 for the building at 6421 Pleasant Avenue. That loan was repaid in 2000. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY • The HRA's subordination policy limits the LTV of all superior debt plus the HRA lien to no more than 80 percent of the documented market value of the property. • The policy also limits the number of subordinations to no more than one other subordination in the past five years. Mr. Youngblood requested and received a subordination in 2007 and in 2006. B. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES • The owner would like to close on the new mortgage on December 22, 2010. C. FINANCIAL • The Apartment Remodeling program was funded through a Livable Communities Grant from the Metropolitan Council. D. LEGAL • The HRA Attorney has reviewed the request and prepared the Amendment to Mortgage. IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~ • Forgive the remaining three years on the term of the Apartment Remodeling loan at 6401 Pleasant Avenue and provide a satisfaction of mortgage. V. ATTACFIMENTS • Subordination Summary • Amendment to Mortgage • Subordination • Release of Mortgage (alternative recommendation) VI.

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: By Motion: Adopt a resolution adopting the 4th Amendment to the Contract for Private Redevelopment with Best Buy Co., Inc. II. BACKGROUND In 2001 the City issued the $8,350,000 General Obligation (GO) Tax Increment Bonds, Series 2001A for the purpose of financing the construction of the Penn Avenue Bridge associated with the Best Buy Development. The source of funding for these bonds was the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) derived from the Best Buy Campus project. As the body which possesses administrative control over TIF, the Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) entered into a Contract for Private Redevelopment with Best Buy (Contract) which, among other items, defines and delineates the use of TIF. 376512v4 RC125-210 As was shared with the HRA and City Council during the past two months, City and HRA staff, along with public financial advisors Ehlers & Associates, Inc., (Ehlers) have determined that a refinancing of the Penn Avenue Bridge bonds at current interest rates would result in significantly reduced debt service payments. Under current municipal bond interest rates, this refinancing will reduce the principle and interest costs of paying this debt by approximately $738,000 (which equates to an annual savings of approximately $57,000). Under the terms of the existing Development Agreement between Best Buy and the HRA, any TIF funds that exceeded the bridge bond debt service and a capped payment to the HRA for reimbursement of administrative costs and payment into the Housing and Redevelopment Fund would be provided to Best Buy. Best Buy has generously offered, however, to amend the Development Agreement in a way that allows 100% of the savings resulting from this band refinance to go into the Housing and Redevelopment Fund. The action currently being considered is a resolution approving the 4th Amendment to the Contract for Private Redevelopment with Best Buy. Among other provisions, this Amendment states that "the debt service savings determined for each payment date will be included in the amount of Tax Increment to be deposited to the Housing and Redevelopment Fund." This proposed Amendment to the Contract is one of several steps necessary to refinance the bonds (see attached schedule). The City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the sale of the bonds at their November 9, 2010 meeting and is scheduled to award the bond sale at their December 14, 2010 meeting. At the November 15, 2010 HRA Meeting, the HRA approved a modified TIF Pledge Agreement pertaining to the pledging of TIF funds for the debt service of the Penn Avenue Bridge. If the HRA approves the attached Resolution, all public actions relating to the Penn Bridge Bonds refinancing, and resulting additional TIF into the Housing and Redevelopment Fund, will be complete. The use of these funds would be subject to later HRA approval as part of budgeting the use of the Housing and Redevelopment Fund. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY • City/HRA, staff and Ehlers have concluded that an action by the City of Richfield to refinance the Penn Avenue Bridge Bonds GO TIF Bonds Series 2001A would result in significant savings due to favorable interest rates. • Best Buy has agreed to amend their Contract for Private Redevelopment with the HRA in a manner that allows 100% of these savings to be deposited into Richfield's Housing and Redevelopment Fund. 376512v4 RC125-210 B. CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES • The Contract must be amended in a timely manner in order for Hennepin County to allocate February 2011 TIF payments in the manner being contemplated. C. FINANCIAL • Under current municipal bond interest rates, it is estimated that this refinancing would reduce the principle and interest costs of paying this debt by approximately $738,000 (which equates to an annual savings of approximately $57,000). • These savings are anticipated to become additional funding for the HRA's Housing and Redevelopment Fund (subject to an amended development agreement with Best Buy); the use of which will be determined in the HRA's budgeting process. D. LEGAL • City/HRA legal counsel has been involved in every step of this process and drafted the attached Resolution and Contract Amendment. IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~ • .None. V.
