She stated Ms. Luckeroth, owner of 7901 51st Avenue North, has consented to the porch addition. Ms. Bellefuil stated Jeff Bangsberg, owner of 7909 51 st Avenue North, has requested permission to build a four season porch to the rear of his half of the twin home. She illustrated elevation drawings of the handicap accessible twin home and explained the proposed porch addition. Mr. Jeff Bangsberg was recognized and stated his intent to obtain porch plans from the same architect who developed the original house plans. President Pro rem Enck pointed out that cement slabs oftentimes slant toward the house creating water problems. He questioned whether footings would be placed beneath the new slab. Mr. Bangsberg mentioned his plans for re-rodding the cement patio for the structure. The EDA congratulated Mr. Bangsberg on the addition.

These programs include the Fix-Up Fund and Home Energy Loans. Under the Fix-Up Fund, income eligible home owners can quality for up to a $15,000 loan at interest rates between two and eight percent. Energy loans of up to $5,000 are available to home owners at an eight percent interest rate. These programs would be operated in conjunction with other Community Development Block Granl (CDBG) and MHFA funded single-family housing rehabilitation programs. All Hennepin County communities which have an active HRA or EDA and want the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority to administer these Home Improvement Loan Programs in their community need to pass a resolution requesting the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority to operate the program within their City. Staff is recommending that the City participate in these programs so that they are available to New Hope residents. Staff is also supportive of the county administering the programs on behalf of the cities. The Hennepin County HRA has undertakeR, these activities in direct response to requests from cities during meetings with Hennepin County Commissioners last year to strengthen the county's coordinating role and establish countywide programs to address housing and tax base concerns. Other neighboring CO-OP Northwest cities are also participating in the program. The enclosed resolution requests that the County administer this program on behalf of the City and staff recommends approval of the resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in accordance with MSA 383B.77, Subdivision 2, the Economic Development Authority administer the MHFA Home Improvement Loan Programs in the City of New Hope. Adopted by the Economic Development Authority in and for the City of New Hope, Hennepin County, Minnesota, this 10t~ day of February, 1997. President Attest: Executive Director Memo DATE: January 27, 1997 TO: Suburban Hermepin County Communities _.~L FROM: Barbara Hayde ,~A~~ve Managgr SUBJECT: Hennepin County HRA Application for MHFA Minnesota Cities Mortgage Program, Fix-up Funds Lender and Proposed Legislative Change Minnesota Cities Particigation Program (MCPP} - First-Time Homebuyers Mortgage Program The Hennepin County Homing and Redevelopment Authority (HCHRA) will be submitting an application for the Minnesota Homing Finance Agency (MHFA) l~linnesota Cities Participation Program. Applicatious are due February 18, 1997. In 1996, fourteen (14) suburban Hennepin County communities applied for these mortgage funds on their own, representing approximately $10 million in mortgage funds. The HCHRA application will be on behalf of all communities intgrbsted in the program that did not wish to submit an individual application for the mortgage funds. Under the Minnesota City Participation program, the MHFA sells mortgage revenue bonds on behalf of city and county housing authorities. The proceeds of these bonds provide below-market, interest rate mortgage loans for Iow and moderate-income first-time home buYers. The maximum purchase price for single-family homes under this program is $95,000. The loans are originated and processed by area participating lenders. The MI-IFA allocates mortgage funds under this program on a per capita basis. Preliminary estimates of a county application could result in an additional $3 million in mortgage funds available to residents in Hennepin County. Currently, Washington and Wright COunties are major users of these funds. The Metropolitan Council has stated that a community 's partici~ation 'in the county ap~vlication will be viewed as an ejjort to advance ajjordable housing, regardless 0 the mortgages are utilized within the city borders. This will assist participating cities in the implementation of the Livable Community's Act. A letter from the Metropolitan Council is enclosed. All communities which have an aCtive lIRA or EDA and want to be inCluded in the HCHRA application will need to pass a resolution requesting that the HCHRA submit an application on their behalf. A sample resolution is .enclosed. Please indicate by February 7, 1997 if your community would like to be included in the HCHRA application. Resolutions need to be returned by March 3, 1997. Please contact Mark Hendricl~on at 541-7084 or me at 541-7083 to indicate if YOur community wishes to participate in the county MCPP application. The HCHRA has been designated by MI-12FA as an approved lender for the Home Improvement Loan Programs. This includes the Fix-up Fund and Home Energy Loans. Under the Fix-up Fund, income eligl"vle homeowners can qualify for up to a $15,000 loan at interest rates between 2 and 8 percent. Energy loans of up to $5,000 are available to homeowners at an 8 percent interest rate. These programs would be operated in conjunction with other CDBG and MHFA funded single-family housing rehabilitation programs. All communities which have an active HRA or EDA and want the HCHRA to administer these Home Improvement Loan programs in their community will need to pass a resolution requesting the HCI-IRA to - operate the program within the city. A sample reso. lufion is enclosed. HCHRA Legislative Change The state statute which authorized the creation of the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (I-ICI-[Rak) is found in Minn. Stat.§383B.77. Subdivision 2 restrict~ the HCHRA from exercising any powers within a municipality without the request of the municipality. Currently, there are thirty active EDA's or HRA's in suburban Hennepin County. These Authorities vary from meeting 1-2 times per year to monthly meeting~. We would like to revise the HCHRA statute to reduce a cumbersome hpproval process for countywide ini atives. A copy of the proposed rev ion is enclos ..The ng g. e new and that which a stricken would be deleted ..... .~: :: , .~ . .:~. . This revision would require the HcI~RA to notify cities, on an annual basis, of pr°posed activities and cities would have the option to restrict the administration of any programs within their community. It would no longer require that each HRA or EDA adopt a resolution requesting the administration of these programs in their community. The legislative change being proposed would keep in place the requirement that local approval be obtained prior to the .ItCIiRA undertaking a housing or redevelopment project within a municipality. HCHRA would still need to seek local approval in a municipality which has an HRA that was created prior to June 8, 1971 (Minneapolis and Bloomington). I feel this revision will require that the HCHRA keep'cities informed of proposed activities and continue to allow cities the opportunity to choose which activities they want the HCHRA to operate within their community. It reduces the staff time required by the county and local communities to formally adopt resolutions for all proposed HC .HRA administered programs, such as the MCPP and Fix-up Fund. Hermepin County HRA has undertaken these activities in direct response to requests from cities during meetings with the Hennepin County Commissioners last January. We are continuing to look for appropriate opportunities to strengthen the county's coordinating role and establish countywide programs to address housing and tax base concerns. Please contact me at 541-7083 if you have any questions. EDA /,.Z.(~~) REQUF~T FOR ACTION Originating Department Approved for Agenda Agenda Section City Manager EDA ! 2-10-97 Kirk McDonald Item No. By:. Management Assistant By:. 5 RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE ~ENNEPIN COUNTY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY INCLUDE THE CITY OF NEW HOPE IN THEIR APPLICATION FOR MINNESOTA CITY PARTICIPATION PROGRAM (MCPP) FUNDS TO THE MINNESOTA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY (MHFA) The Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HCHRA) will be submitting an application for the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) Minnesota Cities Participation Program (MCPP). The applications are due February 18. In 1996 fourteen suburban Hennepin County communities applied for these mortgage funds on their own (including New Hope), representing about $10 million in mortgage funds. The HCHRA will be submitting an application on behalf of all the communities interested in the program that do not wish to submit an individual application. Under the Minnesota City Participation Program, the MHFA sells mortgage revenue bonds on behalf of city and county housing authorities. The proceeds of these bonds provide below-market interest rate mortgage loans for Iow and moderate income first-time home buyers. The maximum purchase price for single-family homeS under this program is $95,000. The loans are originated and processed by area participating lenders. The MHFA allocates mortgage funds under this program on a per capita basis. For the past several years, New Hope and other Hennepin County cities have applied for MCPP funds independently. In 1996 New Hope received an MCPP allocation of $473,625 to be used in first-time home buyer loans. The county is anticipating that a county application including multiple municipalities will result in an additional $3 million in mortgage funds available to residents in Hennepin County. In other words, more funding is available under a countywide application than independent city applications. The other advantage of participating with the county is that the Metropolitan Council has stated that community participation in the county application will be viewed as an effort to advance affordable housing. This will assist participating cities in the implementation of the Livable Communities Act (see enclosed letter from Metropolitan Council). MOTION BY SSCOND BY To: d/5 ':7'7- 0 z. / Review: Administration: Finauce: RFA-O01 Request for Action Page 2 2-10-97 One disadvantage to the county application may be that funds will be allocated to participating municipalities on a first-come first-served basis. No specific amount will be reserved just for New Hope. In the past some cities have utilized their MCPP allocation within the first several months that it is available. In New Hope it usually takes six-eight months to utilize the funds. Therefore, there is a possibility that New Hope could end up with a lessor allocation than in the past depending on other cities use of the funds. However, this may very well not occur because more funds wil! be available. All communities that want to be included in the HCHRA application need to pass a resolution requesting that the County submit an application on their behalf. Staff is supportive of the county administering this program on behalf of the cities and is recommending that New Hope participate in the countywide application process on a one-year trial basis. At the end of the year, City staff will determine whether the joint application with the county was beneficial to the City or not and present that information to the EDA. The EDA can then determine whether the City should pursue joint or independent applications in the future. Hennepin County HRA has undertaken these activities in direct response to requests from cities during meetings with Hennepin County Commissioners last year to strengthen the county's coordinating role and establish a countywide program to address housing and tax base concerns. Other neighboring CO-OP Northwest cities are also participating in the program. The enclosed resolution requests that the County administer this program on behalf of the City and staff recommends approval of the resolution.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that in accordance with MSA 383B.77, Subdivision 2, the Economic Development Authority in and for the City of New Hope requests the .Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority include the City of New Hope in an application for MCPP funds to MHFA..

Stat.§383B.77. Subdivision 2 restricts the HCHRA from exercising any powers within a municipality without the request of the municipality. Currently, there are thirty active EDA's or HRA's in suburban Heunepin County. These Authorities vary from meeting 1-2 times per year to monthly meetings. We would like to revise the HCHRA statute to red'ce a cumbersome approval process for countywide initiatives. A copy of the proposed revision is enclosed. The sh.aded language is new and that which ~ ' stricken would be deleted. . . ~_ · This revision would require the HcHRA to noiify cities, on an annual basis, of ProPosed activities and cities would have the option to restrict the administration of any prOgrams within their community.

From thi.~ information the Council will prepare the annual comprehensive housing report card required by the LCA. As we have stated from the be~'nning of our implementation of the LCA, an assessment of a city's performance will be based as much upon their efforts to facilitate affordable and housing diversification activity and their participation in programs as it will be on the units the market produc~ within their borders. The effort you have described to me to make more dollars available ~or below market MHFA home loans in Hennepin County through the participation of several county communities is an example of the participation we are talking about.

Provide authorized signature(s) from the organization submitting this application, including printed or typewritten name, title and phone number. The Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP) PROGRAM GUIDELINES · A population based formula is used to determine the maximum allocation for which each city qualifies. The maximum allocation a' city may receive is its percentage of the housing pool as compared to the total population of all applications'received. · Cities may apply for a specific dollar amount (minimum of $100,000) or may request the "maximum allowable" permitted by the population formula. If the individual allocation as determined by the per capita formula falls below a level that the city cites as "minimum," MHFA will contact the city to verify whether the city would like to cancel its application. · A city must use at least 50% of its 1997 allocation by the date of program expiration in order to be eligible to apply the following two years. · The usage test also applies to self-issuers. With submission of this application, these cities are required to submit loan origination data to MHFA to confirm compliance with this statutory requirement. · The 1997 MCPP program term will rUn for eight months. Cities will have.the exclusive use of their individual allotments for a six month period. Following the expiration of the six month period, all remaining individual allotments will be collapsed into a single, statewide pool available to all participating cities for the remaining program term. · MCPP mortgages must meet the requirements of standard mortgage insuring and guaranteeing entities, mortgage industry accepted underwriting standards, and state and federal law governing mortgages provided through the issuance of mortgage revenue bonds. · Adjusted borrower income limits may not exceed 80% of area median income as determined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Adjusted income is calculated by taking a household's gross annual income and subtracting $1,000 per household resident. Cities may place their local program limit at or below these figures. Currently, these limits are as follows: County 80% of HUD Area Median Income 11 County Twin Cities Metropolitan Area $43,650 (Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Washington, and Wright) Olmsted $43,840 All other counties $37,200 · Cities have the option of establishing any price limits desired, provided they do not exceed the statutory defined limits listed below. The current statutory purchase price maximums are as follows: If the mortgaged property is located in: Existing Home New Construction 11 County Twin Cities Metropolitan Area $95,000 $95,000 (Anoka, Carver Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Rarnsey, Scott, Sherbume, Washington, and Wright) St. Louis County " $95,000 $95,000 Clay County $91,168 $95,000 Benton and Steams Counties $78,545 $95,000 Houston County $73,100 $95,000 Balance of State $77,540 $95,000 · MCPP funds may only be used to finance properties located within the jurisdictional limits of the participating city or county. · One of the following conditions must be met if new construction is to be PrOvided in the seven county Twin Cities metropolitan area under the MCPP: 1. The new housing must be located in a redevelopment area where at least 25% of the buildings are substandard. 2. The new housing must be replacing a substandard structure. 3. The new housing must be part of a housing affordability initiative, meeting one or more of the criteria listed in Attachment 1. 4. The new housing is located on a parcel purchased by the city or conveyed to the city under Section 282.01, Subdivision I (tax-forfeited lands). 5. The city must have negotiated affordable and life cycle housing goals with the Metropolitan Council. (For self issuers, please note: If your city is located in the seven county Twin Cities metropolitan area, the above new construction restrictions do not apply to loans closed ten months after your program start date). · In the balance of the state, new homes may be financed immediately only if the city includes in its proposal: 1. Steps the city will take to encourage loans for existing housing. 2. An explanation as to why new housing is needed. · Statewide, cities may not provide set-aside or commitments for the exclusive use of builders or developers except for housing affordability initiatives as specified in Attachment 1. · MHFA offers participating MCPP cities access to MHFA's Homeownership Assistance Fund (HAF), an interest-free, graduated payment second mortgage loan. HAF provides lower income first-time homebuyers with downpayment and/or monthly payment assistance. · Home mortgage loans are to be originated by participating lenders and bought by MHFA in accordance with the MHFA Mortgage Program Procedural Manual. · If a city will use additional resources or subsidies in conjunction with the MCPP, a layer of guidelines may be added aa required by the source of the subsidy, INDIVIDUAL CITIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFINITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE ADDED GUIDELINES, · The Minnesota Department of Finance will charge a processing fee of $20 for each $100,000 allotment provided. For cities participating in the MCPP, this is due with the executed MCPP contract returned by each city before the bonds are sold. DO NOT SEND A CHECK BACK WITH YOUR COMPLETED RFp; WE WILL NOTIFY YOU WHEN TO FORWARD YOUR FEE. · Once cities have selected and identified participating lenders in the MCPP application, no additional lenders may be added for the balance of the program term. · MHFA will provide marketing support in the form of brochures, press releases and a shared marketing cost program. · If preferred, cities can withdraw completely from MHFA's marketing support in order to develop their own marketing program. Cities choosing this option would be responsible for developing, producing, and distributing their own marketing materials and press releases. These cities may still access funds through MHFA's shared marketing program. · Following the application deadline, MHFA will review all submitted applications. · MHFA will apply the per capita allocation formula, as specified in statute, to determine the allocation plan. · MHFA will complete a mailing to notify cities of allotment amounts, and will provide a formal request for fees at a later date. (DO NOT SEND A CHECK BACK WITH YOUR COMPLETED RFP). For those cities participating in the MCPP, the mailing will also include two contracts .which must be signed and returned. · Cities participating in the MCPP must execute and return the contract along with the processing fee (see part VII. Program Administration) and a 1% application deposit. The 1% application deposit will be fully refunded, approximately one month after the closing of the bond sale. · Please note that upon notification of allotment, self-issuing cities must send all fees directly to the Department of Finance at the following address: Lee B. Mehrkens Minnesota Department of Finance Cash and Debt Management Division 400 Centennial Building 658 Cedar Street St. Paul, MN 55155 Attachment I HOUSING AFFORDABILITY INITIATIVES Under Administrative Rules (pending) governing issuance of mortgage revenue bonds, a "housing affordability initiative" must meet one or more of the following criteria: 1. The new construction program is accepted and or designated under The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Affordable Housing Program or any successor program sponsored by HUD to encourage affordable, newly constructed housing. 2. The program provides that financial resources, other than those necessary to complete the mortgage revenue bond sale, are applied to reduce the cost of the housing or improve the terms of the mortgage loans provided. A contribution greater than, or equal to, five percent of the purchase price of each newly constructed home to be financed with mortgage revenue bond proceeds must be provided. Such contributions may be provided either in whole, or in part, from federal, state, or local government resources or programs, private foundations, or the Federal Housing Finance Board. 3. The applicable local government must take steps to relax regulations for newly constructed homes that result in greater housing affordability. These steps must reduce the cost of the housing by at least five percent. 4. The program supports the efforts of housing groups that support self-help and/or owner built housing initiatives in which at least 15 percent of the labor and/or materials needed to complete the construction of each house is acquired or donated through the efforts of such groups. 5. Housing is constructed by a nonprofit entity (as defined in Minnesota Rules Part 4900.0100, subpart 21). The nonprofit must have the development of affordable housing as its primary mission. Attachment 2 Alternate Application Procedures Cities may also apply to MHFA for MCPP participation or an allocation for self issuance of bonds by submitting the following documentation: 1. The city must submit a housing plan as described in Minnesota.Statutes Section 462C.03, Subdivisions I and la; and, 2. The city must provide information which clearly establishes that the program to be funded with mortgage revenue bonds meets the requirements of the program pertaining to borrower income limits, house price limits, limits on new construction both in the Twin Cities MSA and outside the Twin Cities MSA and restrictions on builder set-asides (see Minnesota Rules Part 4900.3220, Subpart 2 through 7); and 3. The city must request a specific allocation from the housing pool by February 15, 1997, to be determined by the city's per capita percentage share of the pool based on current population statistics. The minimum allocation that may be requested is $100,000; and 4. The city must describe, if applicable, the steps it will initiate in non-metropolitan areas to encourage loans for existing housing before new housing; and 5. If the city issues and sells bonds independently, it must maintain accurate records of funds usage (loans originated) and provide these records to MHFA, upon request, to confirm compliance with statutory usage requirements. If this alternate application method is used, attach a letter of clarification indicating if application is being made for the MCPP (where MHFA sells bonds on the city's behalf), under a joint powers arrangement, or for an allocation to issue bonds independently. Attachment 3 KEY ADVANTAGES OF THE MINNESOTA CITY PARTICIPATION PROGRAM Bond Advanta~_es of MCPP Participation · MHFA has historically obtained the lowest available .bond interest rate in Minnesota, which allows cities to pass the lowest interest rate on to their borrowers. · All program underwriting costs and risks of bond issuance are absorbed'by MHFA. Costs to participating cities are limited to a Department of Finance processing fee (charged to both MCPP participants and self issuers) of $20 for each $100,000 in allotment. · MHFA may often react to a falling interest rate market and lower program rates further during the program term due to the volume of its mortgage revenue bond activity and/or remarketing provisions in its bond resolution. Loan Advanta_~es of MCPP Participation · Commitment of city staff time is primarily limited to development of the local program (completing the application), administration of any city added targeting or enhancements, and monitoring fund usage. · MCPP funds are flexible. Cities may "customize" their local program to meet local housing needs. This may be through targeting of funds to specific population groups, employees, neighborhoods, or through the addition of a local subsidy to enhance the program's impact. · MHFA's Homeownership Assistance Fund (HAF) is available with MCPP mortgage funds. HAF provides downpayment/closing cost assistance of up to $2,500, and monthly payment assistance as high as $120 per month to help reach lower income borrowers. HAF cannot be used with self-issued city bond programs. · House price and household income limits under the MCPP are higher than other MHFA programs, providing cities with the flexibility to adjust their program guidelines to more effectively serve their local market. ~- · MHFA provides marketing support for each city, including brochures, posters, ad layouts, and local and statewide press releases. · All lender compensation costs are absorbed by MHFA. · Participating lenders will net 2 1/2 points for each loan closed and sold to MHFA under the MCPP (1/2 point higher than MHFA's Minnesota Mortgage Program). · Discount points charged to the home seller will be I 1/2 points, for both existing housing and new construction under the MCPP (compared to 2 and 2 1/2 points under the Minnesota Mortgage Program).
