Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Director of Fiscal & Support Services Angela Holm, Director of Public Works Elizabeth Heyman, Interim Director of Community Development Jess Anderson, Interim Assistant City Manager/City Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Jerzak requested the following corrections to the Study Session minutes of January 9, 2021: Page 12 add via city newsletter It was the majority consensus of the City Council to accept the correction to the January 9, 2023, Study Session minutes. MISCELLANEOUS SPECIAL WORK SESSION – FEBRUARY 6, 2023 City Manager Reggie Edwards stated the Work Session will be about planning future meetings and addressing crime. Mayor Graves noted the Council Retreat is scheduled for February 4, 2023. Additionally, February 6, 2023, had previously been identified as a potential meeting date. Councilmember Butler stated she would prefer not to meet on February 6, 2023. Councilmember Kragness agreed they need to address the increase in crime, but it doesn’t have to be that date. Councilmember Jerzak noted there is a sense of urgency about crime in the 1/23/23 -2- DRAFT community, so he would like to see a Work Session. Councilmember Butler asked why addressing crime couldn’t be added to another Work Session that is already scheduled. Dr. Edwards stated the topic could be added to the February 13, 2023 Work Session. Councilmember Butler stated there would be more accessibility from the community to discuss the item on a regular meeting date, and it is an important issue that people will want to hear about. Councilmember Kragness stated the topic can stand on its own with a separate meeting. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted February 6, 2023, works for her to attend. She added the Council has expressed interest in further discussing the content of future Work Sessions. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson pointed out the potential additional Work Session had already been agreed upon previously. It was the consensus of the City Council to schedule a Special Work Session on February 6, 2023. Councilmember Jerzak stated he has specific questions about line items on the 2023 Fee Schedule for Staff. Mayor Graves stated the topic is on the Work Session for that evening. Dr. Edwards stated February 13, 2023, City Council Work Session will include a discussion of the legislative agenda. DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS FENCE CONSORTIUM Dr. Edwards introduced the item and invited Emergency Manager Todd Berg to continue the Staff presentation. Emergency Manager Todd Berg explained in the Fall of 2020, Hennepin Chiefs of Police had internal discussions regarding shared temporary fencing. In Spring 2021, a formal working group started and quickly grew beyond Hennepin County to the Metro Region. The goal was to obtain anti-scale fencing in a matter of hours rather than days. Chief Berg showed a map indicating 28 agencies that have already signed up for the Consortium. The temporary anti-scale fencing reduces the need for crowd control measures to be used for violent or destructive actors. The fence promotes safety for all, removes the need for the line of police officers, minimizes potential impact on adjacent properties, crowd control measures are seen as escalating, acts as a tool for facilitating peaceful protests and frees up more resources to continue to respond to calls for service in impacted community. Chief Berg noted the vendor would own and store enough fencing to cover the largest police department in the consortium and would be responsible for transporting the fence from the storage 1/23/23 -3- DRAFT area, to the needed site, and back to the storage area. Each city in the consortium would have to have one or two trained staff for unloading and setting up the fencing, which would include three training dates throughout the year. Chief Berg explained as the Consortium grows, there is an opportunity to increase the fence amount, speed up the response time, or decreased cost. Each City pays its percentage of the actual cost based on its percentage of the total fence length the City’s cost would be about $6,000 annually. Brooklyn Center’s cost for the fence rental in April of 2021 was $180,000. On top of the annual fee, the receiving agency would pay for use of the fence each month, vendor loading and unloading costs, and freight for deployment and demobilization. Chief Berg pointed out that joining the consortium would lower the freight cost, decrease response time, create an established response procedure, decrease labor costs, and keeps agency resources available to respond to other community needs. Chief Berg noted the consortium considered buying the fencing. However, storage would be difficult. There has been an ask for State funding for the purchase of anti-scale fencing for the Fencing Consortium. It was a $5 million ask that was not approved in 2022, but they are asking again in 2023. The funding would significantly reduce the ongoing cost each Consortium member will pay for the availability, storage, maintenance, and transportation of the fence. This cost reduction will improve equitable access to this de-escalation and safety tool for communities across not only the Seven County Metro area but also the state as a whole. Chief Berg explained the funding from the State would significantly reduce the ongoing cost each participating Consortium member would pay for the availability, storage, maintenance, and transportation of the fence. This cost reduction will improve equitable access to this de-escalation and safety tool for communities across not only the Seven-County Metro area but also the State as a whole. Chief Berg added if an agency is not a member by February 24, 2023, then additional members would be required to pay a surcharge to the Fencing Consortium and comply with additional requirements. Mayor Graves asked if the fencing could be used for non-emergency situations. Chief Berg stated it is not currently an option, but the rules would likely be loosened if the State funding went through. Mayor Graves asked if the $180,000 was a one-time cost. Chief Berg stated the $180,000 was paid throughout the year the City had the fence. Mayor Graves noted Chief Berg mentioned the City would have to pay about $20,000 per month to rent the fence. Chief Berg stated he would have to check on the math because it doesn’t sound right. 1/23/23 -4- DRAFT Councilmember Jerzak asked if the State funding ask has been introduced to members of the Senate. Dr. Edwards stated he is not aware of that information. The Consortium would be in charge of that effort. Councilmember Jerzak stated the $6,000 is a relatively safe insurance policy to access the fence if needed. Also, the fencing could be used for alternative reasons such as securing a building after a tornado. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she believes Brooklyn Center should move forward with the consortium. She would prefer to be proactive than reactive and to save money. She stated she would like more details on the cost differences. Councilmember Kragness noted the consortium would have enough fencing to serve the largest participating municipality. She asked what would happen if there was civil unrest in multiple areas at the same time. Chief Berg confirmed there could be enough for a few smaller organizations to use the fencing at the same time, but not all members of the consortium could use the fencing at once. Mayor Graves asked how it is determined which areas would need the fencing the most. She also asked what happens if they never need the fencing. Chief Berg stated the City would be out of money because it would be leased. However, if the State were to fund the effort, the payment to each participating City would pay significantly less. Mayor Graves asked for Chief Berg to gather more information about how different areas are prioritized and more clarity on costs. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked if a lobbyist is working for the consortium. Chief Berg stated he is unsure if there are lobbyists or who the author is. Councilmember Butler asked what the time frame of the lease is. Chief Berg stated the lease is set up annually, and the City could reassess the need each year. Dr. Edwards pointed out that during the recent civil unrest, fencing was needed in residential areas also. He discussed that need with Chief Berg to learn more about where the fencing could be allocated within a City. ADJOURNMENT Hearing no objection, Mayor Graves adjourned the meeting at 6:43 p.m. 1/23/23 -1- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION JANUARY 23, 2023 CITY HALL – COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1. INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH THE CITY COUNCIL CALL TO ORDER INFORMAL OPEN FORUM The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Informal Open Forum called to order by Mayor April Graves at 6:43 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor April Graves and Councilmembers Marquita Butler, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Dan Jerzak, and Teneshia Kragness. Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, City Clerk Barb Suciu, and City Attorney Jason Hill. Mayor April Graves opened the meeting with Informal Open Forum. Tim J. noted he is from the Twin Lake Alano, a Club of Brooklyn Center. He explained they ended up with a broken sewer line that needed to be repaired. He asked if there was funding they could qualify for as a nonprofit. The repairs will be close to $30,000. Peter stated he is also a member of a group that uses the building. The Club has fallen on difficult financial times following COVID-19, and all of the reserve funds have been used. The Club was already starting fundraising efforts before the sewer line broke. The Clubhouse isn’t looking for a handout, but it provides a significant service to the community and has served thousands of those in recovery throughout the years. Dr. Edwards asked Tim J. and Peter to share their contact information with him for follow-up communication. Lori B. asked what type of reprimand has been taken against the officers involved in the recruiting video for the Brooklyn Center Police Department. She noted she works with Communities United Against Police Brutality, and the organization has found countless violations of social media policies by law enforcement throughout Hennepin County. All instances were addressed with a reprimand or suspension despite varying policies throughout the County. Lori B. read excerpts from the Brooklyn Center Police Department Code of Ethics regarding ethical conduct and social media. Lori B. explained the recent happenings on social media violate the Code of Ethics. She asked how many people need to come forward before something changes. 1/23/23 -2- DRAFT Lori B. added Kobe Heisler’s heavenly birthday was Saturday, January 21, and he would have been 25. Autism is not a crime, and Kobe should be here. Julie B. apologized for not bringing the item to the previous Council. She thanked the previous Council and Staff for addressing the issue faced in her neighborhood. As a Block Captain, she has received significantly fewer comments and concerns from community members. She added the Community Service Officers have also been helpful. Joylenna G. noted she is a resident of Brooklyn Center. She stated it was dismissive of the Council to say there are other priorities when commenters shared concerns about social media conduct by Brooklyn Center law enforcement. Joylenna G. pointed out the Charter Commission had a recent meeting where it established a subcommittee. She wanted to ensure that the subcommittee was following the open meeting laws. Additionally, certain items in the Charter Commission’s October meeting were not voted on nor were they printed as a public announcement. Joylenna G. asked what the difference is between a Freedom of Information Act request that is completed by a Commission in comparison to a request by a subject. Joylenna G. stated there are still black fence posts around the Police Department, and she asked why those are still there. Joylenna G. asked how many lawsuits Brooklyn Center received related to injuries sustained during protests or for unlawful detainment. Community safety is a priority on the legislative agenda, and some of that work could connect to work done by the Implementation Committee. Joylenna G. noted the Implementation Committee presented to the Council in September 2022 and, by the request of the Council, has since completed two town hall meetings. The Implementation Committee has asked to do a first reading to the Council multiple times. She asked if there is a policy the Implementation Committee is unaware of for how to be on a Council agenda. Mayor Graves stated Staff would have to follow up on procedures regarding a data request. She stated she shares some of the same concerns regarding the experiences of the woman with social media issues from law enforcement. Mayor Graves noted she reached out to the woman. The response to the issues is underway, and the Council cannot comment on them until the process is complete. Mayor Graves added it is the role of Staff to ensure agendas are effective and to determine what items will be included. The Council is not opposed to hearing from the Implementation Committee. 1/23/23 -3- DRAFT Joylenna G. asked if there is a typical timeline for getting onto the agenda. Mayor Graves stated it is not uncommon for something to be a Work Session item three or four times before going on the Regular Session agenda. Dr. Edwards stated the timeline to be on an agenda depends on the subject matter. Before a first reading, the Council must determine if there is something to discuss that would require a public hearing. Additionally, Council needs additional information from Staff before making that decision. Joylenna G. asked if the first and second readings would be public hearings. Mayor Graves stated the Council hasn’t yet received feedback from the town hall meetings or Staff recommendations on the topic. Once that is complete, the Council would discuss if a public hearing would be required. Hope R. congratulated Mayor Graves. Kevin S. stated many people in the community are anxious for an alternative mental health response to be announced. He has had several group homes move into his neighborhood, and there is a regular police presence at the group homes. Law enforcement has been doing a good job, and he looks forward to seeing how else the Implementation Committee will impact mental health response. Kevin S. added he has concerns with safety equipment or unsafe cars on the street due to the other policies presented by the Implementation Committee. Several other community members have similar concerns. Alfreda D. stated part of her is done with Brooklyn Center. Continued actions by Brooklyn Center Police Department have shown her this is not where she wants to invest her time. The response she has received from Council, specifically, Mayor Graves was extremely dismissive. The private message was not as important as the on-record meeting. She felt that Mayor Graves thought protecting the Police Department was more important than her safety. Alfreda D. pointed out she has done an immense amount for the community. She has continually served on the frontlines, even when nine months pregnant. The same City representatives have said the threats to her life are not important. Alfreda D. stated she will no longer do anything for the City. Mayor Graves stated Alfreda D. is entitled to her feelings, but she never said anyone’s feelings didn’t matter or that people being sworn in was more important than the feelings. She noted she would type out word-for-word what she said at the meeting for anyone interested. Mayor Graves explained she listened to and responded to the concerns of multiple commenters. She also spoke against cancel culture, mainly referring to the recruitment video. Also, she said there needs to be a follow-up on the egregious actions. However, as Mayor, she can only ask Staff to follow up on her concerns. 1/23/23 -4- DRAFT Councilmember Butler moved and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to close the Informal Open Forum at 7:08 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 2. INVOCATION Councilmember Butler welcomed the new Councilmembers and Mayor. She read a quote from Henry Ford, “Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is a success.” She also shared a quote from Maya Angelou, “…in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” 3.

Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted new Commissions are a pending Work Session item. She asked if the new Commissions will be voted on. Dr. Edwards stated the item will be discussed in Work Session.

Also present were City Manager Reggie Edwards, Interim Community Development Director Jesse Anderson, Planner and Zoning Administrator Ginny McIntosh, City Attorney Jason Hill, and Interim Assistant City Manager/City Clerk Barb Suciu. FENCE CONSORTIUM This item was addressed at the January 23, 2023 Study Session. 2023 FEE SCHEDULE Dr. Edwards explained the item was previously on a Consent Agenda, but it was pulled by Council for additional discussion. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak thanked Staff for the memo with information. He asked why the rental fees decreased as it is a goal in the City to increase home ownership. The conversion fee being reversed is also an issue in housing equity. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak noted there is a new fee for temporary signs. He stated new businesses have enough issues making rent or starting up their business and the $25 fee on top of the code enforcement starts out the relationship between the business and the City in an adversarial manner. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak added the vacant building registration is near and dear to his heart because he was a co-author on the ordinance. The intention of the fine is to disincentivize properties with long-term vacancies. The vacancies are generally related to Housing and Urban Development (HUD), but there are exceptions which are addressed by the ordinance. The ordinance is meant as a tool for last resort, and you want to use it against poor landlords. He noted 1/23/23 -2- DRAFT significant resources have been spent on a vacant home in his neighborhood, but the ordinance could instead be implemented to move the process along and decrease the use of City resources. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak stated he understands the $100 for special events. However, there should be a category that allows for the fee to be waived due to financial need. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak pointed out there is a fee for residential fences. Education is key as a building permit is required for certain fences as are inspections. The City doesn’t pay for the survey, nor do they keep the surveys. Similar issues apply to homes that need to widen the driveway due to multi-generational housing and the inability to park on the street overnight. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak stated the courtesy benches are very confusing, particularly regarding who is responsible for maintenance and upkeep. He asked why there isn’t a specified time frame in the updated fee schedule regarding temporary signs. Brooklyn Center wants to encourage entrepreneurship, but the lack of clarity in the proposed changes does not. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak stated he would like more information about the consequences of tenant protection violations and if it has been implemented. As for the public subsidy application fees, he would like more explanation about the process and fees. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak added the top complaint related to weed inspection and removal is tall grass. Some people intentionally do not mow their lawns, but there is no disincentive. It is short-sided to remove the reinspection fee. Interim Community Development Director Jesse Anderson stated he would recommend not removing the rental conversion fee as it has already been accounted for in the 2023 budget. Staff is open to keeping the vacancy fee on the schedule. For the driveway and fence fee, Staff would be amenable to lowering the fee, although $25 is a relatively low fee already. Mr. Anderson pointed out the tenant protection fee was on the books before the tenant protection rights discussions. The fee is for when there is a conversion to a new owner and the owner doesn’t properly handle the requirements. The fee is also included in the new tenant protection ordinance. Mr. Anderson noted Brooklyn Center was advised by the City Attorney to remove the weed reinspection fee as it is not legally sound due to issues with proper notice for appeal. They chose to use administrative penalties instead of fees to align with the legal recommendation. Mr. Anderson added the initial rental fee was confusing due to the $400 initial fee, the $300 renewal fee, and the $500 conversion fee, so the change was made to be simpler to understand for applicants. Planner and Zoning Administrator Ginny McIntosh explained the administrative permit used to be the temporary sign permit for special events. There is now a special events ordinance that would cover temporary signs. The administrative permit doesn’t function the same way anymore. $25 was the same fee for the administrative permit. 1/23/23 -3- DRAFT Ms. McIntosh stated the subsidy fee hasn’t changed either. $3,000 was the initial deposit, and $10,000 has been the fee with public subsidy. Establishing a Tax Increment Financing district costs around $20,000-30,000. The fees start the process. Ms. McIntosh stated they were trying to keep fence and driveway fees low and promote residents applying for the changes in the first place. They looked at other communities to compare fees. Also, most people weren’t getting surveys or building the correct height of fences, so the hope was to get the City involved in the process earlier on. There are now approved surfaces and setbacks for driveways, and the goal of the fee was to get people involved with the City at the beginning of the process to ensure more money and time aren’t spent down the line for compliance. City Clerk Barb Suciu stated the special events fee is $100. If the host is a nonprofit, they are not charged the fee following the ordinance. Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson stated she would like more sit-down restaurants in the City, but there are several fee structures in the code for wine licenses and the like. She asked if the fees are similar to nearby cities. She asked for the distance required between schools and establishments with an escort, dancing, and adult encounter groups. The new code also allows for pawn shops in Brooklyn Center, which has an issue with dealing with stolen goods. She requested a private meeting with Dr. Edwards for further questions. City Manager Edwards stated he would be willing to meet with Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson. Staff would also compile all of the answers to distribute to the rest of the Council. Ms. Suciu stated Staff can survey comparable cities to compare liquor license fees. As for pawnshops, there aren’t any licensed pawnshops in the City and Staff would have to look at that further. Ms. McIntosh noted Staff spoke with the City Attorney regarding pawnshops, and there are very few locations in Brooklyn Center it would be allowed, most of which are occupied by Luther. Mayor/President Graves asked when the last time there was a discussion about liquor license fees was. Ms. McIntosh stated there was a discussion about five years before simplifying the process and reducing fees. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak stated the explanation from Mr. Anderson addressed his concerns. He thanked Mr. Anderson for the information. CONCEPT PROPOSAL FOR MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT AT 1500 69TH AVENUE NORTH Planner and Zoning Administrator Ginny McIntosh explained concept reviews are an opportunity for the City Council/EDA to review a development concept before a formal proposal from an applicant, provide comments, ask questions, and indicate whether or not the City would be open 1/23/23 -4- DRAFT to the project. Concept reviews are helpful for potential projects that are diverse from established land use and zoning regulations or address concerns of a project early on. The proposal is advisory and non-binding. Ms. McIntosh stated Julius Cochran is proposing the redevelopment of 1500 69th Avenue North, which is the location of the former Brooklyn Center School District Community Corner. The applicant purchased 1500 69th Avenue North in June 2021 and currently operates New Generations LLC, which is a licensed Home and Community Based organization for people with disabilities, from this location. Ms. McIntosh added several deadlines are coming up related to grants and other financings. She showed a slide with the two lots in question, totaling 1.03 acres. There is a four-plex apartment on the site to the west owned by the applicant. The applicant hopes to obtain additional land. Ms. McIntosh showed a potential site plan. As proposed, the Applicant would demolish the existing 3,500-square-foot, one-story building, and construct a four-story, 64,420-square-foot mixed-used development in its place. As is currently contemplated, the proposal would provide 31 units of multi-family housing for veterans (mix of 3 studio units, 27 one-bedroom units, and 1 two-bedroom unit); 5,270-square feet of office space for 24-hour, on-site service provider for veterans’ housing; 1,000-square foot coffee shop; 2,900-square feet of commercial retail space; and 10,800-square feet of amenity space and amenity deck (i.e. for multi-family residential, mailrooms, etc.). There is potential for a parking deficiency. Ms. McIntosh noted to move forward with the project, the Applicant has indicated that they will be seeking Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as well as letters of support for the upcoming Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) tax credit and Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) and pre-development grant cycles. The current TIF request is for 25 years. The developer would need to finalize their application submittal package to the City for consideration and potential approval. The request would likely include rezoning, replat/consolidation, site and building plan, and potential parking variance. Councilmember/Commissioner Butler stated she has a concern about parking as the nearby streets are very busy. There would be an issue with guest parking for the renters. However, she is supportive of the overall concept. She asked what would happen to the approvals if the project were to fall through or if TIF was not received. City Attorney Jason Hill stated the approvals would remain in place and another developer could come in to make use of the approvals. Dr. Edwards stated the lack of funding would not legally impact the future development, but it could impact the business being completed itself. Mr. Hill stated he is not the TIF expert in his law firm, but he can gather further information from colleagues. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak noted his strong support of housing for veterans. He asked if other sites in the City would be a better fit for the project. He noted it would be unfortunate to 1/23/23 -5- DRAFT disrupt the long-term planning projects in Brooklyn Center for a newer project, despite his support of veteran housing. Councilmember/Commissioner Kragness asked if there is another way the City Council/EDA can support the vision rather than through the TIF process. Ms. McIntosh stated the City Council/EDA could write a letter of support for MHFA and LCDA among other financing agencies. Mayor/President Graves asked if the project would require the creation of a completely new TIF district. Ms. McIntosh confirmed that was correct. Mayor/President Graves asked if Brooklyn Center has done two letters of support twice in the same year. Ms. McIntosh shared an example of an EDA-owned property that the City Council/EDA supported for TIF in 2019, but it took until 2022 for the developer to get approved for TIF. The issue for the City Council/EDA to consider is the level of development control. Mayor/President Graves agreed she likes the concept and the location. However, she has concerns about parking. She asked if there would need to be active on the property before the new code is in place. Ms. McIntosh stated the new code would allow the zoning. Ms. McIntosh stated the developer will need TIF and letters of support to move forward. She asked the City Council/EDA if they would provide letters of support or have any particular concerns beyond parking. Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson stated the City needs to stay committed to the support of Project for Pride in Living for the Opportunity Site. She stated they cannot guarantee TIF funding for the proposal as they have already shown support for the Opportunity Site. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak noted his agreement with Councilmember/Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson. Mayor/President Graves stated the Council is supportive of the project at a later time. Victoria Yepez, co-developer on the proposed project, stated TIF would not be required for the developer to apply for additional funding through the State. A letter of support would be needed from the City to show what can be done on the site. As far as competing on a tax credit level at the State, there are four percent tax credits and nine percent tax credits. The developer would go for the nine percent tax credits as all of the housing is supportive housing. However, PPL is most likely applying for the four percent tax credits. The tax credits are not limited. Instead, it is the bonds that are limited that trigger the four percent tax credits. The proposed project would not be using housing bonds. Additionally, there are several other grants and funding assistance the developers are looking to apply to. Ms. Yepez added the developer is looking to do underground parking. From their understanding, the parking requirements would be met. The developer is also willing to do a traffic study. 1/23/23 -6- DRAFT Ms. Yepez pointed out there is a serious need for veteran housing. There are hundreds of homeless veterans in Minnesota. She noted the building would provide 24-hour support and resources to veterans in the housing. The goal is to build safe, sustainable housing for those in need. The Metropolitan Council has data that shows Brooklyn Center needs 30 percent area median income (AMI) housing, which is the housing included in the proposal. Dr. Edwards noted the Council/EDA is supportive of the project as long as it doesn’t compete with the process started with PPL. Staff will work together to determine if there are competing interests and how parking and traffic could be best addressed. Councilmember/Commissioner Butler asked what the potential timeline for the project is. Ms. Yepez stated if the developer was granted tax credits in the coming round, the plan would be to break ground in March 2024 and about one year of construction. Councilmember/Commissioner Jerzak asked if the request meets the zoning requirements for the City to provide a letter to the developer. Ms. McIntosh stated the developer would need to obtain the additional property to align with density requirements. The caveats can be included in the letter of support. Mr. Misco noted veterans have been given a hard path for a long time. It wasn’t until recently that veterans received additional support. He stated he has worked with several nonprofits that support veterans. No veterans should be homeless. Many veterans need special mental health and chemical dependency support. Veterans have shown the ultimate sacrifice for their homes. He shared the stories of various veterans present at the meeting. Joseph Cochran stated he was drafted in 1966 for Vietnam. He completed two tours. When he returned, he had some good support. However, he has struggled with alcoholism. Anyone willing to help veterans, needs to happen now before it is too late. Mayor/President Graves thanked the veterans for their service and sharing with the Council. The Council/EDA reached a consensus to support a zoning letter for the developer to apply for grants and funding resources, with the caveats addressing the conditions to meet density requirements.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the Economic Development Authority of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (the “Board”), as follows: 1. The EDA hereby approves the Sixth Amendment to Lease Agreement and Relocation Assistance Agreement substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the form presented to the Board, together with any related documents necessary in connection therewith (collectively, the “Lease Amendment and Relocation Documents”) and hereby authorizes the President and Executive Director to negotiate the final terms thereof and, in their discretion and at such time as they may deem appropriate, to execute the Lease Amendment and Relocation Documents on behalf of the Authority, and to carry out, on behalf of the Authority, the Authority’s obligations thereunder. 2. The approval hereby given to the Lease Amendment and Relocation Documents includes approval of such additional details therein as may be necessary and appropriate and such modifications thereof, deletions therefrom and additions thereto as may be necessary and appropriate and approved by legal counsel to the Authority and by the officers authorized herein to execute said documents prior to their execution; and said officers are hereby authorized to approve said changes on behalf of the Authority. The execution of any instrument by the appropriate officers of the Authority herein authorized shall be conclusive evidence of the approval of such document in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event of absence or disability of the officers, any of the documents authorized by this Resolution to be executed may be executed without further act or authorization of the Board by any duly designated acting official, or by such other officer or officers of the Board as, in the opinion of the City Attorney, may act in their behalf. 3. Upon execution and delivery of the Lease Amendment and Relocation Documents, the officers and employees of the Authority are hereby authorized and directed to take or cause to be taken such actions as may be necessary on behalf of the Authority to implement the Lease Amendment and Relocation Documents. 4. The Board hereby determines that the execution and performance of the Lease Amendment and Relocation Documents will help realize the public purposes of the Economic Development Authority Act. Date President The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Commissioner and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. 1 SIXTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT This Sixth Amendment to Lease Agreement (“Sixth Amendment”) is entered by and between the Economic Development Authority of Brooklyn Center (“Landlord” or “City”), and Sheng Zheng, individually, Wang Lin, individually, and Lin Inc., operating under the trade name Ocean Buffet (collectively, “Tenant”) and Alatus Brooklyn Center, a Minnesota limited liability corporation, its subsidiaries and assignees (collectively referred to as “Purchaser”) (collectively, the “Parties”). RECITALS A. On March 10, 2011, Centro Saturn Holdings, SPE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Landlord’s predecessor in interest, and Zheng Asian, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, Tenant’s predecessor in interest, entered into a Lease Agreement (“Lease”) whereby Tenant’s predecessor in interest leased, for a term of one hundred twenty (120) full calendar months beginning on the Commencement Date, from Landlord’s predecessor in interest that certain premises known as Store #5810 consisting of 8,100 rentable square feet located at 5810 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430 (the “Premises”) B. In March 2016, Landlord and Tenant entered into an Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment”). C. Landlord intends to sell certain property to Purchaser that includes, but is not limited to, the Premises (the “Property”) for the purpose of redeveloping the Property, including the demolition of the Premises. D. On January 22, 2021, the Parties entered into a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement and Relocation Assistance Agreement (“Second Amendment”), extending the Lease to December 31, 2021, and incorporating a number of provisions related to the potential redevelopment of the Property. E. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Tenant was paid a one-time non-refundable Relocation Payment in the amount of $40,000 (“Relocation Payment”). F. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the termination of the Lease, the options to extend the same, and the payment of the Relocation Payment were contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Property to Purchaser by December 31, 2021. G. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Tenant was given the right to exercise its five-year Option Term as defined in and under the terms of the Lease, by email notice up until December 31, 2021, with such notice becoming effective upon transmission of the email notice to Landlord notwithstanding any notice requirement to the contrary under the terms of the Lease. H. The closing of the Property did not occur by or prior to December 31, 2021. 2 I. Tenant provided notice to the City by December 31, 2021, exercising its option on the Lease, with an understanding that the Parties were to execute a Third Amendment to Lease Agreement to extend the Lease and the right to exercise a five-year option as described herein (the “Third Amendment”). J. On January 18, 2022, the Parties entered into the Third Amendment, and, pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Parties extended the substantive provisions of the Second Amendment to August 31, 2022, replacing those substantive provisions of the Second Amendment. K. On July 27, 2022, the Parties entered into the Fourth Amendment, and, pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Parties extended the substantive provisions of the Third Amendment to November 30, 2022, replacing those substantive provisions of the Third Amendment. L. On September 27, 2022, Purchaser informed the City that it desires to extend the buy-out date of the Lease to February 28, 2023, and Tenant informed the City that it desires to maintain operations on the Premises as extended by this Agreement and according to the terms of the Lease. The Purchaser requested that a 30 day notice period be approved to allow for the lease to be terminated prior to February 28, 2023, in the event the sale of the property occurred prior to February 28, 2023. M. On _________________, 2023, Purchaser informed the City that it desires to extend the buy-out date of the Lease to September 30, 2023, and Tenant informed the City that it desires to maintain operation on the Premises as extended by the Agreement and according to the terms of the lease. The Purchaser again requested that a 30 day notice period be approved to allow for the lease to be terminated prior to September 30, 2023, in the event the sale of the property occurred prior to September 30, 2023. N. The Parties desire to extend the substantive provisions of the Fifth Amendment, as modifying the Third Amendment, to September 30, 2023, as described herein, with such substantive provisions replacing those contained in the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Amendments. AGREEMENT 1. Recitals. All recitals are incorporated by reference as terms of this Sixth Amendment. 2. Lease Termination and Early Termination Payment. The Lease, and the options to extend the same, shall terminate upon and merge into the closing of the sale of the Property, provided such sale and closing occurs on or before September 30, 2023. In exchange for the early termination of the lease and extinguishment of the options to extend the term, and contingent upon the closing of the Property to Purchaser on or before September 30, 2023, at closing Purchaser shall pay Tenant $300,000 (“Early Termination Payment”). The Early Termination Payment is conditioned upon Tenant’s timely vacancy of the Premises, as 3 provided under the Lease. In the event the closing of the sale of the Property does not occur by September 30, 2023, then the Lease and its amendments shall remain in full force and effect, including Tenant’s options to extend the same, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, in the Lease, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment or any other document. For the avoidance of doubt, until the closing of the Property on or before September 30, 2023, the Lease, and the Tenant’s right to extend the same beyond September 30, 2023, shall remain in full force and effect and is and will be extended to September 30, 2023, notwithstanding any expiration of the Lease under its terms or the terms of any Amendment to the same, modified as described herein.

In the event that Tenant ceases operations of its business at the Premises during the remaining term of the Lease as herein extended to September 30, 2023, but excluding any exercised Option Term, then during the time in which Tenant is not operating, Tenant shall pay $0.00 in Rent, as that term is defined in Article IV of the Lease, including but not limited to Minimum Annual Rent, Percentage Rent, and Additional Rent. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing or via email at least 30 days in advance of ceasing operations on the Premises in order to allow adequate time for proper building closing and transfer of payment obligations. 4.

Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO._______________ RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE FENCING CONSORTIUM JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WHEREAS, the governmental units in the state have experienced an increase in incidences of civil unrest with violent and destructive actors who pose a threat to the public, public personnel, buildings, and critical infrastructure; and WHEREAS, the First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the freedom of speech, the press, and the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances; and WHEREAS, recent experience has shown that the use of anti-scale fencing has greatly de-escalated tension between law enforcement and protesters; and WHEREAS, by de-escalating the tension, the anti-scale fencing helps to reduce the trauma in the community, improve the safety for all, minimize the impact on neighboring properties, reduce the community resources that have to be committed to such events; and WHEREAS, governmental units have recognized the need to have ready access to anti- scalable fencing as a tool for de-escalation and community safety while protecting against violent and destructive actors; and WHEREAS, the best means for a governmental unit to access such fencing in a timely and cost-effective manner is to work cooperatively with other governmental units; and WHEREAS, the Fencing Consortium Joint Powers Agreement (“Fencing JPA”), which is incorporated herein by reference, establishes a joint board to obtain and make available to members anti-scalable fencing in response to critical incidences, sets out the powers of the joint board, requires members to pay their share of the fencing costs and operational costs of the Fencing Consortium, requires members to provide staffing to assemble and disassemble the fencing as part of the Public Works Mutual Aid Pact, and otherwise provides for the operation of the Fencing Consortium as a joint powers entity; and WHEREAS, the governmental unit is a member of the Public Works Mutual Aid Pact and is otherwise eligible to adopt the Fencing JPA; and WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the community to become a member and participate in the Fencing Consortium. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota: RESOLUTION NO._______________ 1. The Fencing JPA is hereby approved and adopted. 2. The City Manager is authorized and directed to make nominations and to cast votes on persons to be elected to the Fencing Consortium Board of Directors. 3. Staff is authorized and directed to do each of the following: a. Submit a fully executed copy of this resolution as directed in the Fencing JPA to indicate membership in the Fencing Consortium; b. Designate a primary and secondary point of contact for the Fencing Consortium for administrative purposes. c. Coordinate with the other Fencing Consortium members and the Board on the selection of staff from the public works department to serve on the fencing deployment team; and d. To take such other actions as may be needed to carry out the intent of this Resolution and as may be required under the terms of the Fencing JPA. February 13, 2023 Date Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. EXCERPT FROM THE JANUARY 27, 2023 WEEKLY UDPATE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ITEMS Temporary Anti-Scale Fence questions and answers from the 1/23 Council meeting: 1. The consortium lobbyist shared that there are not any numbers associated with this legislation yet and the fiscal year wouldn’t start until July 1, 2023. I’ll reach out to Representative Yang and Senator Pha asking for their support. This legislation is also included in our Legislative priorities recommended for Council support in an upcoming Council meeting. 2. Fence costs. The previously presented numbers I reported were based on an old draft having 1,250’ (all 4 sides of the PD) of the fence. The updated cost has only 400’ (just the front side) of the fence and the new monthly cost for deployment (if needed) would be $7,200. The difference in length of fencing was adjusted to cover the front side of the Police Station like before but moving the fence was to the sidewalk instead of blocking a lane of southbound Humboldt. In 2021, we paid $180,000 for the fence rental for approx. 12 months, under the JPA the cost would be $86,400 for 12 months. Also, with our lower fence footage our annual cost to the consortium would be less than $6,000. Approximately, $6,000 was included in the 2023 budget for Emergency Management. 3. The determination of who gets the fence if multiple agencies need the fence? It would be first come first served with the consortium ordering additional fence from the vendor which would be 4-7 days before arrival. Most agencies besides ours have the fence going around all 4 sides. If fence inventory was running low they would only allow partial fencing so that most agencies would at least have some immediate fence. Example: just for the front side of the PD like we had and not all 4 sides immediately. ! "#$" %&'"(! )*& +, -.

(Urban Land Institute) BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 3 About the Urban Land Institute The Urban Land Institute is a multidisciplinary organization with more than 45,000 members in private enterprise and public service. Members are dedicated to advancing the Institute’s mission: shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide. The extraordinary impact that ULI has is based on several factors: The Institute is on the forefront of research. Peer-to-peer learning is achieved through the knowledge shared by members at thousands of gatherings each year and through the Institute’s research and publications. Through outreach programs, including technical assistance and Advisory Services panels, members lend their expertise to communities in solving their most intractable issues. About Technical Assistance Panels Technical assistance panels (TAPs) are an offshoot of ULI’s notable Advisory Services program. Both TAPs and Advisory Services panels offer expertise and technical assistance for communities and organizations facing land use challenges. Panels rely on volunteers who combine their individual expertise with the resources of ULI to provide unbiased, neutral perspectives on land use and real estate issues. About the Terwilliger Center for Housing The ULI Terwilliger Center for Housing was established in 2007 with a gift from longtime ULI member and former chair J. Ronald Terwilliger. The goal of the Terwilliger Center for Housing is to advance best practices in residential development and public policy, and to support ULI members and local communities in creating and sustaining a full spectrum of housing opportunities, particularly for low- and moderate-income households. Through its Attainable Housing for All Initiative, the Terwilliger Center is deepening its impact through housing-focused Advisory Services and technical assistance panels. This campaign leverages the breadth of current and future housing-focused work within ULI to inform and advance efforts around the country to enable attainable housing preservation and production. The primary tool of the campaign is 10 technical assistance panels during the 2022 and 2023 calendar years. About ULI Minnesota ULI Minnesota is a district council of the Urban Land Institute. ULI Minnesota engages public- and private-sector leaders to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and influence meaningful strategic action in the responsible use of land to create and sustain thriving communities.

This should include strengthening tenant protections, such as limiting month-to-month leases; expanding access to affordable housing options through rental assistance and other programs; and investing in programs that allow for community wealth creation. • Protect naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) by identifying the existing properties and supporting their maintenance needs. • Facilitate new development. The city can do this by establishing clear priorities and expectations from developers and embedding inclusive development practices in agreements. The city can also explore and enable alternative housing product types, including small-scale rental development and “missing middle” housing densities. The city should also expand its tax base and set up a housing trust fund. Finally, the city needs to increase staff capacity to pursue all the recommendations, particularly any new development. • Expand homeownership and reduce racial disparities. For both existing homes and new development, the city should invest in programs that can assist first-time homebuyers, particularly those who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). The city should also create metrics and goals for reducing ownership disparity in agreements for new developments. The city can explore different ownership models and structures that would support different types of homeowners. Most important, the panel encourages the city to be very intentional about focusing on housing needs and affordability. The panel recommends that the city XMTZQIܪWXYNS[JXYNSFSJ\UTXNYNTSKTHZXJIXTQJQ^TS housing issues. This position should be prominent and engage with residents, advocacy groups, supportive organizations, and developers to be the city’s voice on housing issues.

BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 9 TAP ASSIGNMENT Brooklyn Center began as a post–World War II community composed primarily of white working- class residents. The housing supply is highly homogenous with a predominant housing style of single-story 1950s ramblers. About 37 percent of the HNY^ѣXMTZXNSLXYTHPNXWJSYFQ\NYMYMJ[FXYRFOTWNY^ of the multifamily units constructed in the 1960s and early 1970s. They too are highly homogenous, comprising mostly one- and two-bedroom units. Of the city’s housing, about 87 percent is considered naturally occurring affordable housing (i.e., housing that is more affordable than market rate without subsidy; this usually occurs as homes age), with median market rents affordable to those making 60 precent of area median income (AMI) or less. The affordable housing supply has contributed to shifting demographics. Brooklyn Center is now 57 percent people of color, making it the most diverse community in the Twin Cities region. Brooklyn Center has experienced economic challenges due to shifts in the retail industry, resulting in the bankruptcy of its largest retail center, Brookdale. This has created large tracts of underdeveloped and vacant land in its central commercial district, putting pressure on the city’s overall tax base. However, recently developers have expressed interest and increased demand for affordable land near Minneapolis. A concern of the community is that as the development pressure grows, existing residents are at risk of displacement following gentrification. TAP ASSIGNMENT Examples of housing in Brooklyn Center. (ULI staff) Housing Types in Brooklyn Center 8TZWHJ2JYWTUTQNYFS(TZSHNQ(TRRZSNY^5WTܪQJ The city of Brooklyn Center is a first-ring suburb of Minneapolis. It borders Minneapolis to the north and has been deeply affected by the historic segregation patterns that have driven Minneapolis to become one of the U.S. cities with the most disparate pattern of homeownership by race. 10 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT The city is currently undergoing a master-planning effort for an 80-acre area of largely vacant commercial property. This area is known as the Opportunity Site. The vision is to create 2,000 new housing units with a mix of affordability, while expanding the diversity in typology of the city’s housing supply and introducing new amenities, businesses, and services for its residents. The city completed a citywide housing study to understand the existing housing stock and identify gaps and pathways to encourage investment while mitigating the harms of gentrification and displacement. The report from this study, Livability, Affordability, Accessibility, and Safety: The Brooklyn Center Housing Report, was produced by the University of Minnesota’s Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (hereinafter the CURA Housing Study). The results are grounded in the guiding principles of livability, affordability, accessibility, and safety. The panel reviewed the CURA Housing Study in detail. (The study can be found here.) Scope and Questions for the Panel To help ensure that future development meets the needs of existing residents, the city engaged with ULI Minnesota and ULI’s Terwilliger Center for Housing to organize a technical assistance panel. The overall goal is for the new development in Brooklyn Center to benefit existing residents while providing new resources and revenues to help preserve and stabilize its existing housing stock.

(ULI Staff) 12 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT The panelists conducted a series of stakeholder interviews with representatives from residents, local developers, city TKܪHNFQXHTRRZSNY^TWLFSN_FYNTSXFSIQJSINSLNSXYNYZYNTSX9MJKTQQT\NSLFWJHTRRTSYMJRJXINXYNQQJIG^YMJUFSJQNXYX from their interviews and discussions. Perceptions of the community and the city • The community is seen as family oriented and culturally diverse, which is a strength. • Residents feel that Brooklyn Center is a desirable place to live. The residents emphasized wanting to remain in Brooklyn Center and were invested in the future of the city. • 9MJHNY^XJJRXYTGJNSFLTTIܪSFSHNFQUTXNYNTSFSI YMJHNY^NXNS[JXYJINYXܪSFSHNFQWJXTZWHJNS\F^XYMFY will help the community thrive in the future. Staff are forward thinking and proactive in their approach to planning. • However, the city is currently facing a perception issue both inside and outside the community. Residents commented that since the police killing of Daunte Wright the community has not felt as safe. Affordability • Brooklyn Center is known for its large supply of naturally occurring affordable housing, but residents do not feel housing is affordable to them. • Rent accounts for over 50 percent of one interviewee’s income, and interviewees did not think more-affordable options were available in Brooklyn Center. • There is a mismatch between housing supply and demand: a common theme among stakeholders was that wages are not keeping pace with the cost of housing; many advocated for “demand-side solutions” in addition to “supply-side solutions,” such as building affordable housing. Rental housing • 1TSLYJWRWJXNIJSYXFWJ\TWWNJIFGTZYKWJVZJSYWJSY increases; one resident estimated that rent increased by about 8 percent each year for the past 10 years. In many cases, stakeholders noted that rent increases were not coupled with building maintenance or improvements. • Paying more in rent has prevented residents from saving for downpayments and moving into homeownership. • -TZXNSLVZFQNY^MFXIJYJWNTWFYJI2FNSYJSFSHJWJVZJXYX FWJSTYFIIWJXXJIJKܪHNJSYQ^TWVZNHPQ^ 9MNXNXXZJ\FX mentioned by residents of both apartment buildings and single-family homes.) • Landlords/owners interviewed generally support increased code enforcement to ensure that the owners who are not keeping properties in good condition are MJQIFHHTZSYFGQJYTNSHWJFXJYMJT[JWFQQVZFQNY^TKWJSYFQ housing. • Stakeholders expressed that access to rental housing is ZSJVZFQFHWTXXINKKJWJSYIJRTLWFUMNHLWTZUX – Some landlords offer housing to immigrant communities without full paperwork and background checks in exchange for higher rents. – Immigrant communities are also more likely to have XZGXYFSIFWIQJFXJXFSIGJXZGOJHYYTUWNHJLTZLNSL Homeownership • Most stakeholders cited homeownership as their goal, FSIFHHJXXYTܪSFSHNSL\FXYMJQFWLJXYWTFIGQTHP COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT FROM STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT FROM STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 13 • Banks do not consider how much a household is currently paying in rent in the mortgage pre-approval process. Many are already paying more in rent than they would pay in mortgage payments. • One stakeholder shared that the landlord had offered to sell the single-family home the interviewee was renting. Despite being eligible to receive a mortgage, the stakeholder did not feel that they would be able to afford the deferred maintenance needs, so they did not UZWXZJܪSFSHNSLTUYNTSXJ[JSYMTZLMYMJLFUGJY\JJS the preapproved amount and a house was as small as $20,000. • Another stakeholder explained that most banks’ homeownership programs for people with low incomes are for households making about 80 percent of AMI. Yet the median income in Brooklyn Center is well below the regional AMI, so Brooklyn Center residents are not able to access those programs. • Homeownership education is critical: beyond access YTܪSFSHNSLFSZSIJWQ^NSLNXXZJ\FXZSKFRNQNFWNY^\NYM the homeownership processes and the opportunities available. – One resident who had recently purchased a home highlighted how critical taking a course had been. – A representative from the banking industry expressed interest in working with individuals to piece together INKKJWJSYLWFSYFSIܪSFSHNSLTUYNTSXGZYYMJGFSPѣX funding depended on the applicant participating in a course. Physical Development Observations During the bus tour, the panelists generally felt the housing stock appeared to be in good condition and well kept. They observed that the existing housing was being maintained and that there was little to no vacant housing. This helps create vibrancy throughout the city and shows the community’s strength. The panelists also celebrated the distribution of parks and ample green space. Access to parks and green space is a continued priority for the city in future development, and panelists noted that a large park will be connected to the development of the Opportunity Site. The city’s control of land in areas like the Opportunity Site is a huge asset for YMJHTRRZSNY^FSINYFQQT\XIJ[JQTURJSYYTGJYYJWWJܫJHY the community’s needs. The city has good transportation access. Bus stops are distributed throughout the city, and the city plans to continue transit connections in the Opportunity Site. The city also has strong connections to the rest of the metro area via HW-100, I-94, and I-694. And a future light rail transit (LRT) station is only one to 1.5 miles from the city’s borders. Quantitative Assessment from the CURA Housing Study In review of the CURA Housing Study and conversations with the researcher, the panel highlighted some key statistics that should inform future city planning and policy decisions. • The rate of eviction filings in the city was on average 1.8 percentage points higher than in COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT FROM STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS Early sketch of Opportunity Site from the Downtown Brooklyn Center Framework Plan, Brooklyn Center draft report of July 6, 2021. 14 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT Hennepin County between 2011 and 2019. This translated to about 16 percent of all renters in the city being evicted during the study period. The panelists applauded the city for its tenant protections policy, but they felt the city could go further to protect tenants. • The city is the most racially diverse community in the metropolitan area. Understanding the racial diversity of the community is especially important for policy recommendations and how funding is distributed. • There is a shortage of housing for households making less than $30,000 per year, and prioritizing this need may be a key policy decision for the city when dedicating financial resources toward housing. – Overall, 51 percent of all renters are cost- burdened, and of renters earning less than $30,000, 86 percent are housing cost-burdened. – The city has only 180 units that are affordable to those making less than $30,000 per year.

These UWNSHNUQJXFWJGJXYUWFHYNHJXIJWN[JIKWTRYMJUFSJQNXYXѣT\SUWTKJXXNTSFQJ]UJWYNXJYFNQTWJIYTYMJHNY^ѣXZSNVZJ needs. The following are the guiding principles for the city’s leadership as they implement the panelists’ recommendations: • Enact a strong housing and economic vision for the city that provides clear direction for the future. – Leadership needs to be bold and willing to take risks; adding staff capacity will be critically important. – Policies and programs need to be aspirational while also being practical, achievable, and enforceable. • Develop community trust with intentional inclusion and deepened participatory planning. • Manage community expectations for any new program or policy by establishing goals and metrics to gauge success. • Prioritize transparent communication with residents by improving access to information. • Consider the connection among housing, jobs, and transportation. Plan for a mixed-use, mixed-income, high-density city center as is the current direction of the Opportunity Site, and focus density around transit-oriented sites. • Explore partnerships. The city cannot implement these recommendations on its own, and partnerships with the public, nonprofits, and the private sector will be imperative. • Embrace high design values that contribute to creative placemaking. The panelists focused on policies and strategies that would reduce the risk of gentrification and displacement of current residents as development occurs. These recommendations fall under the following four broader categories: • Increase benefits for existing residents. • Protect naturally occurring affordable housing. • Facilitate new development. • Expand homeownership. OVERARCHING PRINCIPLES AND PANEL RECOMMENDATIONS OVERARCHING PRINCIPLES AND PANEL RECOMMENDATIONS 16 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT Increase Tenant Protections The city currently has strong policies in place to support residents in rental housing. The city has a rigorous rental licensing program with regular inspections and license length limitations based on performance. In addition, it has a tenant protection ordinance in Section 12-912D of the city code. This ordinance originally focused on protecting residents from hardship caused by the sale of a property by WJVZNWNSLJKKJHYN[JSTYNHJFSIWJQTHFYNTSFXXNXYFSHJ when a transfer of ownership occurs of an affordable housing building. In April 2022, the city added UWTYJHYNTSXKTWJ[NHYNTSSTYNHJXFSIOZXYHFZXJSTYNHJX of nonrenewal. However, even with these policies in place, the city’s rental housing residents could still MF[JNXXZJX\NYMQT\MTZXNSLVZFQNY^XQT\WJXUTSXJX YTRFNSYJSFSHJWJVZJXYXWJLZQFWWJSYNSHWJFXJX FSITYMJWMZWIQJXWJLFWINSLFHHJXXVZFQNY^FSI affordability. The following will strengthen tenant protections: • Support several of the CURA Housing Study recommendations, including enforcement and incentives. The city contracted with the University of Minnesota CURA to conduct a housing study for the city. The panelists generally agree with the recommendations made in the report and recommended focusing on the following: – Increase code enforcement efforts to ensure YMJVZFQNY^FSIQN[FGNQNY^TKMTZXNSLFSI reduce tenant complaints. – Create a NOAH preservation program to encourage rehabilitation of older units while maintaining affordability with a focus on those that serve residents earning less than 60 percent of AMI. – Develop a data monitoring program specifically related to evictions. • Limit month-to-month leases. While these leases generally provide the most flexibility for both the landlord and tenant, they do lead to greater housing instability. With many residents in the city on month- to-month leases, they are much more likely to experience unpredictable rent increases and risk of eviction without cause. The city could add a policy in its rental licensing process limiting the number of month-to-month leases issued by the city at one time or based on the type of rental license issued to the landlord. The city could also extend the notice YNRJWJVZNWJIG^FQFSIQTWIKTWFS^WJSYNSHWJFXJXYT 60 days. This could be incorporated into the city’s existing tenant protection ordinance. • Eliminate source of income discrimination.

As reported in the S t a r Tr i b u n e INCREASE BENEFITS FOR EXISTING RESIDENTS INCREASE BENEFITS FOR EXISTING RESIDENTS Although the Opportunity Site offers new development opportunities, many tools can be used to protect and empower the city’s existing residents. Future development and planning should always ask how these residents will be impacted and seek to create benefits for existing community members. The panelists suggested that the city focus on the following strategies to enhance the position of existing residents, especially renters, residents of color, and residents with low incomes. BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 17 of July 29, 2020, Minneapolis’s ordinance was challenged in the courts by a group of landlords, but it was upheld by the Minnesota Supreme Court. This means that Minneapolis’s policy can serve as a guide for the city. • Regulate tenant screening criteria. The screening criteria used by a landlord for eligible tenants can greatly affect the accessibility of housing in an FWJF4SJHTRRTSXHWJJSNSLHWNYJWNTSNXWJVZNWNSL that a tenant’s income is more than three times the rent. While this can protect renters from being cost burdened, it often ignores how much a person is already paying in rent and reduces housing options. Similarly, criminal background checks are thought to make communities safer. But recent research from the Wilder Foundation showed that this is not the case and instead limits access to housing for people with criminal records. The city could issue standard screening criteria for landlords to use YTMJQUJSXZWJJVZNYFGQJFHHJXXYTMTZXNSLNSYMJ community. • Increase eviction protections/navigation support. The city recently enacted a strong eviction protection ordinance. It will be important to measure the effectiveness of this ordinance through specific targeted metrics. Even with such an ordinance in place, the city should take steps to invest more directly in ways to support residents through an eviction by hiring an additional housing staff member, partnering with advocacy organizations that focus on eviction support, or doing both. • Evaluate benefits of a Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA).945&NXFUTQNH^YMFYWJVZNWJX landlords to notify tenants before putting a property up for sale and to give tenants enough time to opt to purchase the property. The policy typically includes deadlines for tenants to submit a statement of interest, make an offer, and then secure financing and close on the property. This purchase can be coordinated by fundraising from tenants’ personal finances or in partnership with a nonprofit. TOPA typically slows the sale process for a property owner, but the owner will still receive a fair market price for the property. For Brooklyn Center, TOPA could help preserve affordable housing, especially if the policy includes a permanent affordability WJVZNWJRJSYHTSYNSLJSH^FYYFHMJIYTYMJUZWHMFXJ of the property. However, the city should study whether this type of policy would be effective or if it would increase regulations without any likelihood of meeting the goal of protecting housing affordability. Programs in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., can be reviewed, with the caveat that those markets are vastly different from Brooklyn Center (see Greater Greater Washington July 21, 2022, analysis by C. Gallaher). In addition, the city of Minneapolis currently is reviewing the benefits and drawbacks of a tenant opportunity to purchase program that should be studied before investing time and staff in additional research and evaluation for the city. Expand Access to Affordable Housing Options One of the main revelations from the stakeholder interviews was a concern about rising housing costs while wages remain unchanged. Residents expressed frustration with the narrative that Brooklyn Center is known for having “affordable” housing because the housing does not feel affordable to them. New development in the city should target existing residents with low incomes in some way. The following are potential policies the city should consider for expanding the affordable housing options in the city as new development occurs. • Evaluate the benefits of an inclusionary housing policy. Inclusionary housing policies encourage new construction of housing developments that reserve a certain percentage of units to be sold or rented at a rate considered affordable relative INCREASE BENEFITS FOR EXISTING RESIDENTS 18 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT to the AMI. Typically, inclusionary housing policies apply to multifamily developments with at least 10 units. The affordability is guaranteed for about 30 years through a land use restrictive covenant on the property deed. Some local municipalities allow developers to pay a flat per-unit fee in lieu of building affordable housing units. The city of Edina’s policy includes an opt-out option with a $125,000 per unit buy-in fee. This fee then goes into the city’s affordable housing trust fund. In addition, the city of Bloomington has a similar payment in lieu option for its inclusionary housing policy. In RFS^HFXJXWJVZNWNSLFKKTWIFGQJZSNYXNSRFWPJY rate developments cannot be achieved without public funding assistance, so any policy should first evaluate what the community’s specific needs and market dynamics are and what strategies the city should consider when partnering with the private sector to increase affordability in housing. This can be achieved by talking with the development community as well as residents. If more 30 percent AMI units are needed, adding those within a market- rate development may become too expensive and not feasible. Another option that should be considered to increase 30 percent affordable units is to partner with nonprofit housing developers who have experience in funding and managing MNLMVZFQNY^FKKTWIFGQJMTZXNSLFSINSRFS^HFXJX targeting the lowest of incomes. • Expand rental assistance programs. To the best of the panelists’ knowledge, the city does not currently have any rental assistance programs to support residents. The city leverages partnerships with rental assistance organizations (e.g., ACER Inc. or CEAP) or other governmental agencies (e.g., Hennepin County or Minnesota Housing). The city could work to strengthen partnerships with these organizations to provide stronger services to residents. The city could consider offering a rental assistance program directly to residents by partnering with the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA), \MNHMWJHJSYQ^GJLFSNXXZNSLUWTOJHYGFXJIMTZXNSL vouchers outside Minneapolis. Connecting with MPHA to explore options and opportunities to expand rental assistance in the city will be an important strategy. • Reinvest Opportunity Site tax increment financing (TIF) funds to support renters within a quarter mile. The Opportunity Site is expected to drastically change the character and livability of the developed area. This development will particularly affect those WJXNIJSYX\NYMNSFVZFWYJWRNQJTKYMJXNYJ<MNQJ the buildout of the Opportunity Site will provide many services, commercial and public amenities, and new housing, as well as increase the city’s tax base, existing residents may experience negative HTSXJVZJSHJX9MJXJHTSXJVZJSHJXKTWYMTXJ residents closest to the site could include pressure to sell their homes for redevelopment or have their rents increased. – Special attention should be given to the closest apartment buildings without income restrictions in place, such as the Gateway Commons or Four Courts apartments. The city should consider partnering with these owners early to help alleviate the market disruptions and provide assistance YTJSXZWJYMFYYMJMTZXNSLNXTKLTTIVZFQNY^FSI rents can remain affordable. – City staff expect some excess TIF funding from the Opportunity Site. The panelists recommend using excess TIF funding to support renters through payment assistance, transit support, and public amenities, and providing existing owners incentive to keep units affordable while improving existing properties. Community Wealth Creation The prior strategies are intended to meet the current needs of Brooklyn Center residents, especially as INCREASE BENEFITS FOR EXISTING RESIDENTS BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 19 the city develops. However, the city can do more to empower its residents and put them in a better position to generate wealth. • Invest in wealth building programs and initiatives. The city can promote community wealth building through investing in new public programs, procedures, and initiatives, particularly the following: – A new community information and education hub to provide information for residents regarding homeownership programs, rental assistance, financial literacy training, small business loans, and so on. This information is currently dispersed across various organizations’ websites, and the city could centralize the content. –Financial literacy training. The city should J]UFSIFHHJXXYTFSIKWJVZJSH^TKYMNXMNLMQ^ valued educational opportunity. –A small business incubator as part of the Opportunity Site. The incubator can help form connections between existing small business owners who may be retiring and wanting to sell their business and existing residents and entrepreneurs. – Evaluating the benefits of supporting cooperative ownership models for businesses and housing development. Cooperative ownership is a financial structure that lowers risk and increases access to funding sources beyond the standard banking industry. One of the largest barriers to cooperative ownership is the lack of understanding about how the model works. The city could take an active role in supporting education about cooperative ownership and guides on how to use the model. • Explore community preference policies, which allow individuals who have been directly impacted by a development to receive preferential treatment in accessing subsidized units in future development and wealth-building programs. These policies reduce displacement and provide assurance to long- term residents that they can stay as the community develops. In addition, targeting wealth creation programs to existing residents and those who may be marginalized increases access and opportunities to reduce gentrification and displacement. This policy should be enacted before future value increases. • Support partnerships. Partnerships can create wealth-generating opportunities through real estate—banks, land trusts, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and developers. The city could leverage partnerships with these organizations to support increased wealth generation opportunities in the city. –Banks: Hire a housing program coordinator, or ombudsman, to ensure that equitable banking policies are being followed. The Community 7JNS[JXYRJSY&HY (7&WJVZNWJXYMFYGFSPXRJJY the needs of all community members, including those with low and moderate incomes and communities of color. By tracking banks’ lending practices, the city can hold them accountable for RJJYNSL(7&QJSINSLWJVZNWJRJSYX –Land trusts: A land trust model helps build community wealth by lowering the cost to own a home. The land trust holds title to the land, and the buyer owns the home that sits on the land. This ensures long-term home affordability in partnership with a nonprofit land trust. The city could partner with the Homes Within Reach community land trust to expand homeownership opportunities in the city. Homes Within Reach serves the west Hennepin County area, and it typically uses a buyer-initiated process to support low-income buyers in purchasing existing homes. –Real estate investment trust: REITs allow individuals to buy shares of (i.e., invest in) real estate as part of their personal portfolio, and INCREASE BENEFITS FOR EXISTING RESIDENTS 20 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT they are a standard investment product used by traditional investors similar to a mutual fund or a stock portfolio. Some neighborhoods in large cities have started to use this model for local residents to invest in the neighborhood. A model to explore is Neighborhood Investment Company Inc. that invests in property in the Echo Park neighborhood in Los Angeles. The neighborhood REIT model allows individuals to participate financially, and sometimes physically, in the development of their neighborhood, allowing them to generate wealth from the prosperity of their neighborhood. –Developers: Partner with developers to build housing products that allow greater wealth creation. One strategy for consideration is to encourage the development of small-scale duplexes or triplexes that facilitate an owner- occupied rental setup. A collaborative in the Twin Cities known as the 'ZNQINSL*VZNY^NS8RFQQ Multifamily Ownership initiative has promoted this development model as a way to close racial disparities in homeownership and family wealth. This collaborative has worked with architects to develop a series of construction plans to make development easier. This small multifamily ownership allows households to receive rental income to help offset the cost of the mortgage and home repairs. It also can make it easier for multigenerational families to live close to each other without sharing all the same housing facilities. INCREASE BENEFITS FOR EXISTING RESIDENTS “ The city can do more to empower its residents and put them in a better position to generate wealth.” BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 21 The city must take proactive steps to preserve NOAH properties. Preserving NOAH properties is approximately half the cost of building new affordable housing. In the Twin Cities region, new development costs an estimated $300,000 per unit, compared with approximately $150,000 per unit to purchase and renovate NOAH properties. Ensuring the maintenance of NOAH properties is critically important for a community. The stakeholder interviews and conversations with city staff underscored that maintenance is a concern among residents, despite the city’s rigorous inspection policy. Deferred maintenance could lead the building into disrepair and eventual condemnation. Further, any decline in NOAH properties will increase the risk of resident displacement and decreasing the value of surrounding properties. These results typically affect residents with the lowest income. In addition, as the city continues to develop at the Opportunity Site, a market shift that would drive up rents on existing NOAH properties is extremely possible. In many cases as redevelopment occurs, existing property owners or incoming new investment buyers take advantage of the growing market by PROTECT NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING BEST PRACTICES FOR PRESERVING NOAH • Commit more to rehab. • Find an effective way to stabilize rents. • Speed to intervention. • Require low-cost/free capital. • Commit to preservation buyer/owner partnership. • Ensure high-quality management. Examples of NOAH housing. (ULI staff) PROTECT NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING Naturally occurring affordable housing typically refers to rental properties that are considered affordable without a public subsidy (NOAH Impact Fund). “Affordability” is defined based on rent and basic utilities costing less than 30 percent of AMI. As highlighted in the stakeholder interviews and in the CURA Housing Study, regional affordability does not translate directly to the city’s local affordability needs. Of renter households who make less than $30,000 per year, about 85 percent are housing cost burdened, meaning they pay more than 30 percent of their income toward housing costs. However, it is still incredibly important for the city to work to protect this housing type and recognize that NOAH provides needed housing for renters with a household annual income between $30,000 and $50,000 (about 23 percent of renter households). 22 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT making basic renovations and raising rents. Therefore, the city needs to focus on NOAH preservation as it pursues the development of the Opportunity Site. The panelists recommend two strategies to preserve NOAH: • Work with existing multifamily property owners to aid in renovations while maintaining rents, and connect owners with a nonprofit buyer if they are interested in selling. • .SHJSYN[N_JMTZXNSLVZFQNY^ZULWFIJXKTWQT\NSHTRJ single-family homeowners and/or future buyers. 'TYMXYWFYJLNJXWJVZNWJFKNSFSHNFQNS[JXYRJSYKWTR the city. The panelists compiled a mix of potential funding sources from taxpayers, developers, governmental agencies, and nonprofit organizations. One new funding mechanism is the use of a housing trust fund. The panelists highlighted a couple of common sources of funding for a housing trust fund, and additional ideas and resources can be found in the Local Housing Trust Fund Update developed by the Minnesota Housing Partnership (Minnesota Cities with Affordable Housing Trust Fund and Sources/Uses). Recommendations for Preserving Multifamily NOAH Property The panelists had the following recommendations for the city to preserve multifamily NOAH: • Identify NOAH properties and their owners. This will formalize the relationship between the city and property owners to facilitate maintenance tracking and support renovations while preserving existing affordable rents. • Support maintenance of NOAH properties. The city should provide funding assistance for building maintenance in exchange for keeping units affordable. It is important for the city to create clear eligibility criteria for any financial assistance. The city can use this opportunity to couple funding with TYMJWUZGQNHGJSJKNYXXZHMFXWJVZNWNSLQFSIQTWIXYT accept housing choice vouchers. • Protect NOAH renters. The panelists have found that strong code enforcement is key for any city. If an inspector finds a property is not being maintained to the standards specified in the lease, or the city receives a complaint from a tenant, the city should help the tenant exercise his or her rights in accordance with the Tenant Remedies Act, which allows the city to perform necessary maintenance on a property on behalf of a tenant and place a lien on the property to recover the cost of the maintenance. • Form relationships with property owners. It is important for the city to be made aware if a property owner plans to sell its building. If the FUNDING MECHANISMS TO SUPPORT NOAH PRESERVATION • Create a housing trust fund (HTF) supported by the following: –Pooled TIF—dedicate percentage to HTF. –New TIF—dedicate percentage to HTF. –Dedicate a percentage of the Housing Redevelopment Authority levy. –If inclusionary zoning policy is adopted, assign the payment in lieu of building fee to HTF. • Use American Rescue Plan Act 2023 installment. • Apply for NOAH Impact Fund #2—available fall 2022. • Support governor/House–proposed “housing stabilization bill” with $50 million to $100 million dedicated to NOAH preservation. PROTECT NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 23 city knows in advance that a NOAH property may go up for sale, staff can connect the owner with a nonprofit housing provider that could ensure affordable rents are continued in perpetuity. In addition, it is important to have good relationships and communication among city staff (planners, inspectors, et al.) to understand what properties are at risk, so staff can focus the appropriate strategies and resources on those properties. Recommendations for Preserving Single-Family NOAH Properties The panelists had the following recommendations for the city to preserve single-family NOAH: • Increase owner-occupied rehab funds. According to the city’s Comprehensive Plan, 86 percent of the housing stock is more than 40 years old. Brooklyn Center currently uses Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for owner-occupied rehab grants, but it is limited to $250,000 per year. As the housing stock ages, homes will need larger WJST[FYNTSUWTOJHYXYTPJJUYMJMTZXNSLXFKJFSI RFNSYFNSJI9MJXJWJST[FYNTSUWTOJHYXRF^STY fit into the standard budget of homeowners, and additional support from the city could provide the boost needed to keep the stock in good condition. The city could use some of the funding mechanisms provided for NOAH, such as a housing trust fund, and/or create a partnership with Minnesota Housing Finance Agency’s Housing Impact Fund to support this work. • Facilitate and support first-time/first-generation ownership opportunities. The single-family housing stock in Brooklyn Center is largely made up of smaller homes that sell for lower than market value than in other cities in the region. Most of the housing was built post–World War II and, because of its age, is now in need of renovation.

A city can use several strategies to facilitate support for new owners, which are detailed in the “Expand Homeownership” section of this report. PROTECT NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING 24 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT FACILITATE NEW DEVELOPMENT Since the loss of the Brookdale shopping center in the early 2000s, the city’s tax base has mostly depended on its residential property. According to city staff, the tax rate for residential properties is one of the highest in the metropolitan area. New development is a high priority for the city to increase its commercial tax base and shift some of the burden away from residential. 2TWJT[JWYMJHNY^NXNSFZSNVZJUTXNYNTSTKT\SNSL approximately 40 acres of the 80-acre Opportunity Site. According to the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Brooklyn Center has seen only about 100 new housing units built since 2000, and these units were primarily small infill developments. Therefore, for the next few years, most new development will take place in the Opportunity Site. The panelists recommend that Brooklyn Center have three overarching goals when planning new development in the city: • Clarify the development process, and make it inclusive. • Increase housing supply and diversity of housing options. • Increase the tax base. Clarify the Development Process and Make It Inclusive For the city to attract and accomplish new development, the city needs to make the development process transparent and accessible. When a developer understands the entire procedure up front, including WJVZNWJRJSYXFSIYNRJQNSJXNYHFSUQFSFHHTWINSLQ^ and minimize risks. Clear and dependable processes facilitate development. FACILITATE NEW DEVELOPMENT Map and aerial view of the Opportunity Site from the Downtown Brooklyn Center Framework Plan, draft report of July 6, 2021. BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 25 Further, the city can use the opportunity to embed inclusive development in its guidelines. The city has firsthand experience in the challenging nature of inclusive development; the city recently restarted the engagement process for the Opportunity Site because city officials realized that the first round of engagement overemphasized the voices of a small subset of the population. Resilience and inclusivity should be considered for both the physical development and the development process. • Establish an equitable development scorecard. A scorecard can take many forms. It can use a rigid scoring methodology, or it can present a series of VZJXYNTSXJLѦ-T\ITJXYMJIJ[JQTURJSYFIIWJXX sustainability goals?” The scorecard can underscore city priorities, such as sustainability, affordability, or design. It allows the city to communicate clear standards and expectations that promote high- VZFQNY^IJ[JQTURJSYWJKQJHYN[JTKHTRRZSNY^SJJIX A scorecard also benefits developers by increasing transparency, so they can evaluate how well their proposal is meeting the city’s goals and make FIOZXYRJSYXNSFI[FSHJ • Adopt a land disposition policy for city-owned land. Land disposition policies create standard principles for development types that can be applied consistently, and they create an opportunity to apply affordability expectations and deed restrictions where desired. Because the city controls a good portion of the site (44 of the 81 acres), this disposition could aid inclusive development on its land. • Increase the capacity of the city’s planning and housing department.-F[NSLFVZFQNKNJIXYFKKYT work with existing residents and development partners is critically important to facilitate inclusive and clear processes and procedures. The city needs to both create positions and improve the department’s efficiencies so the city can work with developers and the community while implementing YMJWJHTRRJSIFYNTSXFSIXZGXJVZJSYSJ\ programs or initiatives. • Create a citizen’s advisory council specifically for the Opportunity Site. A citizen’s advisory group can help provide focus and oversight to ensure YMFYYMJUWNTWNYNJXKTWJVZNYFGQJIJ[JQTURJSYTK the Opportunity Site are achieved. This council would serve a consultative function similarly to a planning commission, but it can be more focused on advocating for residents’ priorities in advance of the review of development proposals. A developer could also work with this group before the official application process to solicit community feedback before drawing up detailed plans for review. This structure enhances the participatory planning process while creating “one voice.” Increase Housing Supply and Diversity of Housing Options Brooklyn Center has a vacancy rate of less than 2 percent. A healthy housing market exists when the vacancy rate is 5 percent. The low vacancy rate indicates that the city needs additional supply to meet its current and future demand for housing. It is important for the city to work with housing developers to increase supply and ease this market tension, which is known to drive up rents. Moreover, Brooklyn Center has very little diversity in housing typology, and residents feel they need to move out of the city to find housing that is appropriate for different life stages. The panelists developed a series of strategies for adding supply, density, and housing diversity. • Support small-scale rental development on city- owned sites.9WZQ^JVZNYFGQJIJ[JQTURJSYWJVZNWJX attention to the developer, development type, development area, and end user of the development. The city has the opportunity on its city-owned UWTUJWYNJXYTUWNTWNYN_JJVZNY^FSINSHQZXNTSNSFQQ aspects of the development.

The city could use one of many training opportunities, including ULI’s Real Estate Diversity Initiative (REDI), or Developers of Color Capacity Building Program, provided by Twin Cities Local Initiative Support Corporation and Greater Minnesota Housing Fund. • Identify and target alternative housing models. Most of the homes in Brooklyn Center are either small, single-family homes, or larger NOAH apartment buildings. Less than 3 percent of all MTZXNSLNSYMJHNY^NXFIZUQJ]YWNUQJ]TWVZFIUQJ] which limits the opportunities for exploring new models for housing. New development should focus on adding diversity and opportunities for cooperative housing, housing for seniors, multigenerational-format housing, and missing middle housing. An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) policy can add density on single-family lots that can serve multigenerational families well, add rental opportunities, or both. A 2020 report published by ULI’s Terwilliger Center for Housing and RCLCO, Family Renter Housing, discusses the unmet need for families who are renters and showcases a variety of development types that can be replicated to better serve families who rent. These include suburban rental apartments, suburban single-family rentals, rental townhomes, detached and attached apartments, urban rental apartments, and mixed- income and affordable housing. The report and examples can be found here. • Support increased density to add more housing units in the Opportunity Site. The city has a great opportunity to add more units to the housing stock within the Opportunity Site. Supporting the addition of new housing units will help the city address its current undersupply of available housing. Low supply drives up rents, and adding new housing units, even if a portion of those are market rate, will help provide new options and opportunities for existing residents. This, in turn, frees up existing more affordable NOAH for those who may be paying too much for housing. Increase the Tax Base The city is planning to use tax increment financing for most new development in the Opportunity Site. It is important to remember that TIF will help increase the tax base over the long term, but it will not assist with the short-term need. TIF can help “prove the market” in Brooklyn Center for the first few developments, but it should be used sparingly moving forward, unless the city invests in affordable housing. In recent years, the city has taken advantage of creative financing tools such as the housing tax levy, tax-increment financing, and a sales tax levy. The panelists also recommend new ways to expand ULI’S REAL ESTATE DIVERSITY INITIATIVE The Real Estate Diversity Initiative (REDI) is an intensive cohort experience open exclusively to professionals of color and women working in real estate and land use industries. Participants learn about what it takes to put together a successful development through a combination of curriculum and case study work. Throughout the course, teams will produce a development plan, pro forma, and marketing plan for a specific site. Participants will engage in both large group and small group mentoring sessions. FACILITATE NEW DEVELOPMENT BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 27 existing financing tools as well as create new financing mechanisms, which include the following: • Use TIF to prove the market in partnership with the private sector (affordable and market rate). • Use TIF pooling with a focus on including affordable units and market-rate multifamily development. • Maximize public benefit through use of TIF—e.g., use a portion of TIF for a housing trust fund. • Establish a housing trust fund to increase affordability within development proposals. • Work with developers on 9 percent and 4 percent tax credit applications. • Access available federal funds for housing or infrastructure to support affordable housing. This includes the American Rescue Funds and the most recent inflation reduction legislation. THE MECHANICS OF A HOUSING TRUST FUND Create a funding stream for the fund: • Dedicate a portion of Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy to the HTF. • Dedicate a percentage of the pooled TIF. • Dedicate a percentage of the new TIF. • Leverage partnerships with public, private, and philanthropic organizations. Prioritize spending of the trust fund for: • Existing residents directly impacted by any development; • Homeownership renovation funds; and • NOAH preservation and renovation, to ensure the quality and stability of housing for those with the lowest incomes. FACILITATE NEW DEVELOPMENT 28 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT EXPAND HOMEOWNERSHIP Facilitate Homeownership To increase homeownership the city needs to support current homeowners and future homeowners, who are currently renters. The following recommendations support the homeownership process for current and first-time buyers. • Homebuyer programs. Several programs and financial incentives can assist potential homebuyers. Many renters do not realize they are in the position to purchase a home. Homeownership education and financial literacy and counseling programs can assist those potential homeowners. These programs were lauded in the interviews but are not as accessible or well known as they could be. Further down the line, the city should establish a resource hub as a local resource point for these resources. • Financial assistance, such as downpayment assistance funds, can provide the needed capital for renters to enter homeownership. – The city can connect existing renters in single- family homes to community banks and resources to evaluate the opportunity to purchase instead of paying rent. Having undergone a merger, Huntington Bank (formally TCF) is now likely to be under strong scrutiny from the federal government to provide more community services to the area. There is an opportunity to create new partnerships that would support Brooklyn Center residents where special financing could be created to support local ownership of housing in the city. – The city also currently provides $10,000 to first- time homebuyers who work, live, attend school, or own a business in Brooklyn Center. This program is a good start, and the panelists recommend expanding the funding to provide increased benefits for long-term residents. In addition, $10,000 may not be enough assistance toward a downpayment, and the city could consider increasing that amount. • Support existing homeowners. The city should evaluate how it is assisting existing homeowners. In the NOAH section of this report, the panelists identified single-family NOAH as an available and attainable homeownership option for residents. But they also acknowledged that the NOAH housing stock is often in need of repair. Financial assistance to these homeowners, particularly rehab funds, can help those residents stay in their homes and improve YMJVZFQNY^TKYMJNWMTRJX Reduce the Racial Homeownership Gap Government policies and real estate practices have historically explicitly excluded BIPOC households from participating, including but not limited to racialized redlining, blockbusting, racial steering, and predatory lending. It is important to note that some policies and practices today still limit access as well through restricted access to credit and financing and fewer educational opportunities. EXPAND HOMEOWNERSHIP Homeownership is known to be a primary method for building family generational wealth in the United States. -TZXJMTQIXFWJNS[JXYNSLNSFSFXXJYNSQNJZTKUF^NSLWJSYFSIJVZNY^NSYMJMTZXJHFSGJGTWWT\JIFLFNSXYNS the future. To improve homeownership for Brooklyn Center residents, the city should look to homeownership programs, existing NOAH housing stock, and new development. BROOKLYN CENTER HOUSING | 29 Brooklyn Center has a comparatively high rate of BIPOC homeownership in the Twin Cities, but a large disparity still exists, especially between BIPOC homeowners and BIPOC renters when compared to white homeowners and white renters. The city should develop a set of metrics to identify goals for reducing ownership disparity in land disposition and developer subsidy agreements. The city can also create a dedicated downpayment assistance pool for first-time/first-generation BIPOC buyers. Finally, all recommendations made by this panel should be viewed with a racial equity lens. Expand Ownership Opportunities through New Models and Structures New housing supply should target different housing typologies and ownership structures so that the new supply is meeting different household needs. Yet many of these options are often not allowed by right. A 2019 report published by ULI’s Terwilliger Center for Housing and RCLCO, Attainable Housing: Challenges, Perceptions, and Solutions, demonstrates the mismatch between the for-sale home product being developed and consumer preferences including affordability needs. The report outlines a few product solutions, namely: small homes; value housing (simplified and limited options/packages); missing middle (duplex to multiplex, side by side or stacked); and high-density detached (clustered yet single family, e.g., court layout). These diverse housing products can contribute to a full spectrum of homeownership choices for singles, families, and seniors and provide both attainable housing and move-up opportunities. LESSONS FROM PHILADELPHIA The Land + Credit = Workforce Homeownership Program has a multipronged approach. 1. Locational analysis, which identifies clusters of publicly owned parcels and bundles them into RFPs that are appropriate for workforce homeownership; 2. Customized pricing, which disposes of the publicly owned parcels at a discounted price that balances a high sales price yet allows attainable homeownership to pencil; 3. Restrictive covenants, which require developers to ensure the properties are owner-occupied, homeowners are income certified, and resales are made at an affordable price-point for up to 30 years; and 4. Credit enhancement, which provides construction lenders with a 25 percent partial repayment guaranty on the condition that they loan at or above 85 percent loan-to-cost in order to open up availability of capital for developers of workforce product. EXPAND HOMEOWNERSHIP 30 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT Further, Brooklyn Center residents expressed interest in more opportunities for multigenerational families to live together. More choices will allow residents to remain in Brooklyn Center despite their life stage. Alternative ownership programs include the following: • Land trusts, allowing the city to partner with Homes within Reach (for more details see page 19); • Lease-to-purchase opportunities; • Condominiums/cooperatives; • Owner-occupied rental (duplexes, triplexes); • Small multifamily ownership initiative via Family Housing Fund & Hope Community; and • Pocket neighborhood/village concept with shared amenities between buildings. The city should identify all city-owned sites and leverage them for new homeownership development. For example, Minneapolis has used vacant lots and city-owned lots to build homes. And the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority’s Land + Credit = Workforce Homeownership Program created 6,000 homeownership opportunities at attainable price points by leveraging city-owned land. There are many ways the city could prioritize funding options for new homeownership development. One example is the Community Ownership Impact Fund operated by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. Cities and/or developers can apply to help finance the construction and rehabilitation of owner-occupied, single-family homes through the fund. The program WJVZNWJXYMFYGJSJKNHNFWNJXITSTYJFWSRTWJYMFS 115 percent of the AMI, which means most residents of Brooklyn Center would be eligible. The city should apply to this fund and administer funding to developers of single-family homes.

Immediate responsibilities would include developing relationships with rental owners, tenants, neighborhood organizations, citizen advisory and housing committees, and developers; managing existing programs and developing new programs and policies; and seeking funding opportunities.

Create a housing policy plan, outline funding sources, and prioritize the programs that will benefit from its funds. • Initiate conversations with sources of rental assistance so they are ready to be deployed as developments occur (i.e., Minneapolis Public -TZXNSL&ZYMTWNY^FSI2JYWT-7&KTWUWTOJHY based vouchers). • Establish a community information and education hub and, in particular, aggressively advertise and connect people to financial literacy programs. It is critical for residents to start today, so they are ready for the opportunities. • Identify NOAH properties and form relationships with their ownersXTYMFYFQQXZGXJVZJSY maintenance tracking and NOAH protection programs are well targeted. • Amend sales tax proposal to target funding for affordable housing at the Opportunity Site, and provide NOAH rehab funds to address rental housing building code and livability issues. • Formalize the Opportunity Site citizens advisory council to create a formal board of review and elevated community engagement system related to the Opportunity Site. • Create enhanced partnerships, and seek support to fund new and expanded program recommendations. This includes but is not limited to Homes within Reach, Family Housing Fund, Huntington Bank, and the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS The panelists assembled a wide variety of recommendations for the city of Brooklyn Center to explore as it moves into its next chapter as a city. These recommendations reflect the number of opportunities the city has at its disposal, and the panel encourages the city to be very intentional about focusing on these housing needs and affordability with a sense of urgency. The top recommendations that the panelists suggest city staff focus on for the rest of 2022 and into 2023 are listed here, followed by a snapshot of all recommendations. 32 | TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL REPORT SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS What to Do in the Short, Medium, and Long Terms 8MTWYYJWRWJHTRRJSIFYNTSXXMTZQIGJYMJHNY^ѣXNRRJINFYJTGOJHYN[J9MJ^\NQQXJYYMJXYFLJ Recommendations in the medium term would be important to implement or set up before the development of the Opportunity Site.

analysis can be broken down into the four main themes of this research project: livability, af- fordability, accessibility, and safety.

Detailed quotes from the focus groups were paired to the survey summations, highlighting the lived experiences of individuals living and doing business in the city. Livability In terms of the home: Is the structure comfortable? Is there access to fresh air and good sanitation? In the neighborhood: How safe is it? How accessible is it? Are there social amenities? Are there outdoor spaces? Is there access to schools? Looking into the future: Is it possible to live comfortably? What’s the tenable condition to live there in the future? Ultimately, both the natural and built environments are equally important to determine livability.
