Motion passed unanimously.
4. COMMISSION CONSIDERATION ITEMS
4a. RESOLUTION NO. 2022-16; APPROVING AN OPTION AGREEMENT WITH
PROJECT FOR PRIDE IN LIVING LLC FOR CERTAIN EDA-OWNED
PARCELS AND TERM SHEET AND RESOLUTION NO. 2022-17; SUPPORTING
THE USE OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING FOR A RENTAL HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Executive Director Reggie Edwards introduced the item and invited Community Development
Director Meg McMahan to continue the Staff presentation.
Ms. McMahan explained the EDA entered into a preliminary development agreement (PDA) with
Project for Pride in Living, Alatus and Resurrecting Faith World Ministries February 2022. The
07/11/22 -2- DRAFT
agreement provided certain development rights to the development team to approximately 15-acres
of EDA-owned parcels within the area known as the Opportunity Site. The PDA will be in place
for one year and provide the development team exclusive rights to the site while they conduct their
due diligence, obtain land use entitlements and put together financing for the project.
Ms. McMahan added in order to submit a competitive application, PPL will need to show that they
have site control and financial support from the City. Since the EDA owns the property, which
will be replatted and subdivided at a future date, PPL is requesting an option agreement on the
future parcel where the first of four affordable buildings will eventually be constructed.
Jason Aarsvold with Ehlers Inc. stated applications for Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)
require local financial support and to show that there is appropriate site control. The action does
not grant approval of the project. About one in four projects actually receive funding. If they do
receive funding, they must return to the Council to see tax increment funding (TIF).
Mr. Aarsvold stated PPL proposes a 60 unit LIHTC projects as a first phase. 44 unites would be
at 50 percent area median income (AMI) and 16 units at 30 percent AMI. The project would be
on 1.8 acres of the Opportunity Site. Tax credits are necessary to pay for 62 percent of the project
costs.
Mr. Aarsvold stated the underwriting shows a need for the requested assistance due to high project
costs, serving a deeper level of affordability, and meets the TIF “but for” test. If tax credits are
awarded. The project will go through another underwriting process to confirm need prior to final
EDA approval.
Mr. Aarsvold noted the option agreement gives developer exclusive rights to purchase the property
during the option period. Land price is assumed at $1,050,000. The term sheet outlines the
business terms such as required construction outlines, minimum thresholds for affordability,
construction completion date, and a TIF note of $774,000 payable from 90 percent of increment
in TIF Number 7 over a period of 20 years.
Commissioner Ryan stated Resurrecting Faith World Ministries is involved in the project. A
housing study showed estimates for rent, but Resurrecting Faith World Ministries was left blank.
They do have a goal of affordable housing listed and have interest in a childcare center. He asked
if they will be bringing forward additional affordable housing units to the Council. A
representative of Resurrecting Faith World Ministries stated they will not be bringing forth
additional affordable units, but they are partners on the project.
Commissioner Ryan pointed out 15 percent of Brooklyn Center is in poverty. They have to
consider the impact of more affordable units in the City in comparison to market-rate units,
especially on those already in poverty. The Council needs to determine a reasonable number of
affordable units for the project and the City. Unless the number of affordable units were to
decrease, he cannot support the project.
Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson asked at what point the City will begin to receive a return on
the investment with the 20-year TIF. The City would start collecting money when the project
07/11/22 -3- DRAFT
comes out of the TIF after 20 years. If the measure of return on investment is provision for
affordable units, that will continue on for 30 years.
Ms. McMahan added the Council and the EDA created a TIF district in the area as a 26-year
district. There are five years to start construction or else they need to get approval from the
legislature to extend the timeline. The TIF allows for them to develop an area that the market will
not otherwise allow. There are goals the Council and the community want to see in the Opportunity
Site. Those goals come at a cost. There is ultimately a large amount of community benefit such
as infrastructure, parks, buildings, and programming.
Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson asked if there is a cap on TIF 7. Ms. McMahan stated it is a
20-year district, and they would likely have to ask for an extension at some point. The increment
depends on the project, if any, approved by the Council. The Council will get to decide how to
allocate the available increment. Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson noted they have to spend
money to make money for the City.
President Elliott moved and Commissioner Butler seconded to adopt EDA RESOLUTION 2022-
17 supporting the use of tax increment financing for a rental housing development project.
Commissioner Ryan voted against the same. Motion passed.
President Elliott moved and Commissioner Butler seconded to adopt EDA RESOLUTION 2022-
16; approving an Option Agreement with Project for Pride in Living, LLC for certain EDA-owned
parcels.
Commissioner Ryan voted against the same. Motion passed.
5. ADJOURNMENT
President Elliott moved and Commissioner Ryan seconded adjournment of the Economic
Development Authority meeting at 9:25 p.m.

B ackground:
O n November 12, 2013, the E DA adopted Res olu.on No. 2013-17, w hich authoriz ed the acquisi.on of
certain parcels to facilitate redevelopment opportuni.es within the O pportunity S ite of the former
Brookdale S quare S hopping Center.
O n D ecember 23, 2013, the E DA closed on the proper.es and became the ow ner of the 23.2 acre
commercial site w hich included a number of leases , including the O cean Buffet s tand alone restaurant. The
city worked with exis .ng bus inesses w ithin the center to nego.ate voluntary termina.ons of leas es and
ul.mately demolished the shopping center, leaving only the O cean Buffet restaurant remaining on site.
I n February 2021, the E DA approved a leas e amendment and reloca.on agreement w ith O cean Buffet that
w ould allow them to extend their op.on agreement for one year, receive a one-.me non-refundable
reloca.on payment of $40,000 from the E DA , and w aive the base rent for up to one year w hile A latus
w orked to get approval for an ini.al development on the s ite and clos e on the s ite.
The purpos e of structuring the agreement in this w ay allowed O cean Buffet to operate their busines s in a
w ay that is financially feas ible for them un.l a clos ing might occur. I t also provided the city w ith a maximum
liability in terms of reloca.on obliga.on. I n the event that the clos ing does n't occur and the project doesn't
proceed the city's reloca.on obliga.on w ill have been met by this agreement.
D ue in part to the pandemic, as w ell as a des ire to conduct deeper community engagement, the project did
not proceed on the originally an.cipated .meline. The development was delayed by approximately eight
months, and the clos ing did not occur by D ecember 31, 2021 as originally es .mated. I n January 2022, the
E DA approved an 8-month extens ion to the agreement to A ugust 31, 2022. A ll other terms of the
agreement remained the same.
The project now is not expected to close un.l November 2022, and O cean Buffet and A latus are now
reques.ng an addi.onal three-month extension to November 30, 2022. O nce again the terms of the
agreement remain the s ame.
T he terms previously agreed to and encompassed in the aDached agreement are as follows:
1. The E DA has paid O cean Buffet a fixed payment in an amount of $40,000.
2. A latus would pay O cean Buffet a lease termina.on payment amount of $300,000 at the .me of
clos ing on the property.
3. O cean Buffet agrees to terminate the leas e and w aive their extension at clos ing of the s ale of the
property, provided that occurs on or before A ugus t 31, 2022.
4. The E DA would agree to w aive rent payments during the remaining term of the lease. O cean Buffet
w ill con.nue to be responsible for any real estate taxes, u.lity payments , or addi.onal payments
above and beyond the minimum annual rent being w aived while they remained in busines s .
5. I n the event that A latus does not acquire the E DA property and the project does not proceed, O cean
Buffet retains the right to exercis e their lease extens ion under the current terms of the leas e; how ever,
the E DA 's reloca.on obliga.on w ill have been met by this agreement an w ould not need to be paid
again to facilitate a future redevelopment.
T he Fourth Amendment to L ease Agreement and Reloca.on Assistance Agreement would be a three-party
agreement between the E DA, O cean B uffet's owners, and Alatus. T he agreement is aDached to this memo. T he
agreement does not obligate the C ity or E DA in any way to Alatus or the development project; however, it does
obligate Alatus to pay O cean B uffets L ease buy-out in the event that the project moves forward.

signature is not an offer to enter into a legally binding agreement and may not be relied on
for legal or equitable rights or obligations. The Parties shall be bound by the terms of this
Fourth Amendment only upon its execution by the Parties.

The O pportunity S ite I nfrastructure P lan lays out a street grid and block s ystem for the future O pportunity
S ite redevelopment area (A@ached). The planned roadways avoid the building, but encroach on the land
and parking area around the building in order to create more walkable and orderly blocks. I n addi.on, a
por.on of the 5910 S hingle C reek P roperty is needed to complete the Three Rivers Park D istrict Regional
Park that is planned for the area in 2024.
The D is trict wishes to acquire the building and relocate their adminis tra.ve offices to it as w ell as expand the
childcare center. The alterna.ve learning center w ould remain. The D istrict does not have a need for the
exces s land and parking around the building, and is interested in a joint acquisi.on of the property. They
w ould like to acquire the building and enough land to accommodate up to 80 parking stalls . The balance of
the site they are reques .ng be acquired by the E DA to accommodate planned future roadways, regional
park, and development areas .
The D is trict would retain roughly 2.5 acres and the E DA would acquire roughly 5.5 acres for future us e.
The parking lot improvements would take place at the .me that the new roadways are cons tructed, which
w ill be driven by market interes t in the developable areas . I n the interim the D is trict would con.nue to use
the building and parking lot in its current configura.on.

I n A pril, the E DA approved a purchase price of up to $2,835,276. S ince then, the D is trict and E DA have
nego.ated a final purchase price of $2.2 million. Por.ons of the land that the C ity is acquiring w ill ul.mately
