g ,
Subject: Resolution Authorizing President and Executive Director to Execute Third Party
Agreement for the 1996 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block
Grant Program
The Brooklyn Center EDA is the implementing agency for the City's program of acquisition of
blighted properties, which is one of the 1996 CDBG program activities. As implementing
agency for the program, a formal agreement is required between the City Council and the
Brooklyn Center EDA. This is a housekeeping resolution, enacted annually as part of the CDBG
program requirements.
Since the City Council must also execute the third party agreements for the EDA and Senior
Community Services, copies of the third party agreements are included with the Council
resolution and are not duplicated here.
Commissioner introduced the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
EDA RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Subrecipient Agreement with Hennepin County for the 1996 Urban Hennepin County Community
Development Block Grant program; and
WHEREAS, the Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn
Center serves as the provider of Community Development Block Grant activities in the City of
Brooklyn Center.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Economic Development
Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center that its President and Executive Director are
hereby authorized to execute a Third Party Agreement between the City of Brooklyn Center and
the Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center for the purpose of
implementing 1996 Community Development Block Grant program activities.
Date President
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by commissioner

favor thereof:
and the following voted against the same:
whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
• Memorandum
To: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
From: Brad Hoffman, Community Development Director
Date: August 1, 1996
Subject: Resolution Approving Contract for Private Redevelopment with TGI Friday's, Inc.
TGI Friday's (Carlson Companies) Planning Commission Item No. 96012 will be before the City
Council for approval on August 12, 1996. At the same time, the EDA will be asked to approve a
development agreement between the EDA and Friday's. The specifics of the development
agreement are detailed in the Planning Commission report, and the incentive package is detailed
in the body of the attached agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement, Friday's agrees to build a minimum 70 -unit Country Suites
Inn (actual number is 85), along with a 6,800 square foot TGI Friday's. In addition, a third site
will be developed with a restaurant. Originally, the third restaurant was to be an Italianni's;
however, Italianni's is undergoing some corporate restructuring at the present time. The second
• restaurant may well be Italianni's or some other restaurant of comparable quality. The site for
this project is the 14 -plus acre parcel of vacant land on Freeway Boulevard west of Schmitt
Music.
As an inducement to development on this site, under the terms of the agreement Friday's will pay
the up front costs of the sewer access charge (SAC) estimated at approximately $80,000, as well
as pay to relocate a sanitary sewer running diagonally across the property. At the last City
Council meeting, a bid of $69,000 was rejected for relocation of the sanitary sewer. The bid was
rejected for timing reasons but it does indicate the potential cost of the relocation. The EDA will
reimburse Friday's on a pay -as- you -go basis.
At the present time, the City holds $86,349 in SAC credits. Existing buildings in the City have
already paid a SAC fee. When a building is demolished, as credit is established because the fee
has already been paid. By using the credits, the money coming to the city up front from Friday's
can be put into our account with greater latitude in its use than the current situation. The credits
have to be used for SAC fees.
As I previously stated, Frid'ay's will pay the SAC fee and relocation costs up front. They will be
reimbursed for those costs over time at no interest by the EDA from available TIF funds. If the
project does not generate sufficient funds in any given period, the reimbursement is carried
forward. The EDA's obligation is based solely upon the availability of TIF funds. Payments
• would begin August 1, 1998, and then every February 1 and August 1 thereafter until February 1,
2003. Should there be any outstanding reimbursable costs as defined in the contract after that
date, the EDA's obligation to pay such costs would terminate. As a practical matter, the
Memorandum to Michael J. McCauley
August 1, 1996
Page 2
minimum improvements of this project would generate sufficient TIF monies in its first full year
to pay off the entire obligation should the EDA elect to do so.
The TGI Friday's /Country Suites Inn project represents a significant development in the
redevelopment of Brooklyn Center. First, it is a statement to other developers and businesses
that Brooklyn Center is a good place to locate. Second, it brings a new restaurant to Brooklyn
Center, adding to the choices people have. Additional restaurants were important to the business
community, according to the survey conducted by CRP. Third, the Country Suites Inn brings a
mid - market hotel /motel to Brooklyn Center. Currently, Brooklyn Center has a high -end hotel in
the Hilton and several budget motels. The mid -level hotel/motel is missing or under- represented
in Brooklyn Center, as well as the northern suburbs. Fourth, when fully developed, the Friday's
project will contribute over $250,000 annually to the new tax increment district. Fifth, and
finally, the presence of Friday's and Country Suites will make it easier to locate new business in
Brooklyn Center or the remaining undeveloped parcels. With the development, Brooklyn Center
will start creating that hard to define critical mass that tends to attract others.
A draft copy of the contract is included with this memorandum. It is my recommendation that the
Council and EDA approve the plans from Friday's, as well as the Tax Increment Development
Agreement. I will be` at the meeting on the 12th of August to answer questions about this
agreement.

• Memorandum
To: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager
From: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialist
Date: August 7, 1996
Subject: Application for Minnesota Housing Finance Agency Multifamily Super Request
for Proposals
The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) has introduced a new approach for funding
housing and community development activities. It is called the "Super Request for Proposal ".
This memorandum addresses the MHFA's Multifamily Super RFP as a potential funding source
for accomplishing a portion of the 53rd Avenue project acquisition and clearance.
Prior to the Super RFP, MHFA offered numerous programs addressing various housing needs.
For example, the City of Brooklyn Center received $275,000 in 1994 for the acquisition and
clearance of blighted property in the Willow Lane area under the Community Rehabilitation
Fund. Now, under the Super RFP, the MHFA no longer offers the Community Rehabilitation
Fund, but it is now a part of the Super RFP. Under the Super RFP, the applicants (cities, HRAs,
etc.) must submit a proposal or "concept' ' and the MHFA decides which program or programs
are the right ones for the proposal or concept.
The advantage of the Super RFP is that applicants no longer have to fit their particular project to
a specific program. One disadvantage of the Super RFP is that applicants can no longer apply for
a part of the MHFA group of funding programs and funding sources. Instead, a much more
comprehensive project is required and even though it is the City's project or concept, MHFA still
has numerous requirements and conditions to meet in order to receive funding, primary of which
is the goal of providing affordable housing.
The 1996 legislature authorized $250,000 for the Community Rehabilitation Program. As stated
in the legislation, the $250,000 for the Community Rehabilitation Program is for the "purpose of
acquiring, demolishing, removing, rehabilitating, and reconfiguring multiple unit residential
rental property to reduce concentrations of substandard multiple unit rental housing."
The Community Rehabilitation Program is contained in the Multifamily Super RFP and to access
this $250,000, or a portion of the $250,000, the EDA/City must submit a comprehensive
application under the MHFA's Super RFP process.
As stated in the MHFA's Super RFP application guidelines, the mission of the multifamily
division of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency is "to preserve and provide decent and
affordable rental housing and stronger communities for low and moderate income households by
providing underwriting, technical management, marketing, social service and housing- related
expertise in the development and administration of multifamily housing. "

The MHFA Super RFP also lists as its "key concepts and characteristics" the following:
"Through the Super RFP process, the MHFA intends to assist eligible sponsors by financing the
development, construction, acquisition, preservation and rehabilitation of decent, safe and
affordable housing ".
Eligible projects under the MHFA Super RFP include the following:
• New construction
• Acquisition
• Rehabilitation
• Refinancing
e mg
• Preservation
• Permanent rental housing
• Transitional rental housing
• Permanent rental housing with supportive services
• Permanent rental housing with very low rents
• Housing and/or supportive services for persons with HIV /AIDS
• Rental subsidies for persons with HIV /AIDS
• Publicly owned housing
• Housing for homeless or near homeless people or families
• Housing for households with special needs
• Emergency shelters
• Demolition to reduce concentrations of substandard multifamily housing
• Home ownership (very limited amounts of funding available)
53RD AVENUE PROJECT PROPOSAL'
The project proposed for funding under the MHFA Super RFP is to acquire and demolish the two
fourplex properties located on 53rd Avenue North between 4th Street and Camden (610 and 620
53rd Avenue North). This would provide funds for a portion of the proposed 53rd Avenue
project. Staff is currently working with Hennepin County in preparing the necessary data and
information to establish this project as an eligible Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) project. Staff will begin the creation of the CDBG project for the 53rd Avenue project
at the August 26 City Council meeting.
The estimated cost for acquisition and demolition of the two fo lexes is estimated at $260,000
q urp
for acquisition and $25,000- 30,000 for demolition.
As stated earlier in this memorandum, housing affordability will be a key issue in funding
projects submitted under the MHFA Multifamily Super RFP. The act itself states that "priority
shall be given to projects that result in the creation of a full range of housing opportunities,
Memorandum to Michael J. McCauley

including housing opportunities for residents of the affected multiple unit rental housing, that
will increase the tax base and the income mix within a community."
The proposed redevelopment of 53rd Avenue North will likely target redevelopment with market
rate single - family housing valued at $120,000 and above. Since the MHFA Super RFP has
creation and/or rehabilitation of affordable housing as a primary goal, staff believes the EDA
should emphasize the great amount of the city's existing affordable housing and the city's
support for the maintenance and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing. Additionally, the
proposal to MHFA can emphasize that one of the primary goals of the 53rd Avenue project is to
strengthen the southeast neighborhood and provide a greater mix of housing values in the
neighborhood, which is one of the goals of the Livable Communities Act. The Livable
Communities Act will be one of the documents used to evaluate applications submitted under the
Super RFP.
Submission of the Multifamily Super Request for Proposal does not require a formal EDA
resolution, but does require that the application be submitted with the full knowledge and consent
of the governing body. The application deadline for submission of applications under the
Multifamily Super Request for Proposal is August 22, 1996. Staff is recommending the EDA
pass a motion authorizing staff to submit an application to the MHFA's Multifamily Super
Request for Proposal.
