TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Gary Eitel, Director of Business and Development`
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the Acquisition of Property to Facilitate Neighborhood
Improvements and Redevelopment Opportunities within the Brooklyn Boulevard
Corridor (Northbrook Apartments - 6037 Brooklyn Boulevard)
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider approval/adoption of the Resolution
Authorizing the Acquisition of Property to Facilitate Neighborhood Improvements and
Redevelopment Opportunities within the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor (Northbrook Apartments
— 6037 Brooklyn Boulevard)
Background:
On April 26, 2010, the City Council discussed an offer by Gere Fenstad, owner of the the
Northbrook Apartments and the potential opportunities associated with this acquisition in the
reimaging of Brooklyn Boulevard,
• The majority consensus of the Council was that this is an opportune time to acquire Brooklyn
Boulevard properties and combine smaller lots into a larger parcel for redevelopment, it is in the
community's best interest to acquire single - family homes on Brooklyn Boulevard, and residents
support the City having fewer rental properties. The Council directed staff to negotiate the best
acquisition price for consideration by the Council at an Executive Session.
On May 10, 2010, the City Council held an Executive Session to review a negotiated offer to
acquire the Northbrook Apartments.
Attached for your reference is a copy of the April 26 staff memorandum and minutes on the
Council's discussion on this item.
Purchase Agreement:
The attached purchase agreement provides for the voluntary sales of the Northbrook Apartment
Building, located 6037 Brooklyn Boulevard, for $505,000 with a closing date scheduled for
August 2, 2010.
The City is required to comply with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisitions Policies Act, which applies to all public projects and acquisitions that result in the
displacement of tenants from their homes.
Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enluznces the quality of life and preserves the public trust
EDA ITEM MEMORANDUM
The federal requirements associated with the relocation of the existing tenants will be satisfied •
on or before August 25, 2010.
Budget Issues:
The acquisition, relocation costs, and demolition will be funded from the Housing Fund of Tax
Increment District 3, which currently has a fund balance of approximately $2,000,000, exclusive
of the funds allocated to the Renew Loan and Remove & Rebuild Program.
Tax Increment District No 3 was created in 1994 as a Redevelopment District to provide
assistance to various commercial redevelopment and housing development projects within the
District. The housing objectives included the following:
1. To acquire blighted or deteriorated residential property for rehabilitation or
clearance and redevelopment.
2. To develop housing opportunities for market segments underserved by the City
including housing for the disabled and elderly.
The special state legislation associated with the creation of this Tax Increment District
included provisions that 15% of the revenues generated from tax increment in any year is
deposited in the housing development account of the authority and expended according to
the tax increment financing plan.
Council Goals:
Strategic:
1. We will stabilize and improve residential neighborhoods

City Council Study/Work Session
April 26, 2010
POTENTIAL ACQUISITION OF THE NORTHBROOK APARTMENTS
6037 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD
Mr. Eitel presented the offer by Jerald Fenstad, owner of the Northbrook Apartments, and
advised of potential opportunities associated with the acquisition in the reimaging of Brooklyn
Boulevard. He noted the City owns two homes on Brooklyn Boulevard that could also be
included in the reimaging of Brooklyn Boulevard that was identified in the 2030 Comprehensive
Plan. Mr. Eitel asked whether the Council was interested in purchasing Mr. Fenstad's property
assuming all eleven units are vacant.
The Council discussed its goal of reimaging Brooklyn Boulevard and the use of the TIF 3
Housing Fund as the funding source for property acquisition. City Manager Boganey stated if
the Council is in agreement to pursue acquisition, a not -to- exceed cost could be established and
requirement placed for a $110,000 escrow account to cover reallocation costs. It was noted the
• assessed value of $545,000 was based on a valuation period of 2008 and 2009 so it may not
necessarily represent the current market value of the property.
City Attorney Charlie LeFevere advised that State law allows the Council to meet in closed
session to formulate an acquisition offer and give direction to staff.
Mr. Eitel requested Council direction on two policy questions: Does the Council believe that it
is in the community's best interest to continue the acquisition of properties within the Brooklyn
Boulevard Corridor? Does the City Council support the prioritizing of the use of TIF #3
Housing Funds for this acquisition? Mr. Eitel stated if the Council determines to move forward,
staff will do its best job to negotiate a fair purchase price for the Council's consideration.
04/26/10 -3-
It was the majority consensus of the Council that this is an opportune time to acquire Brooklyn
Boulevard properties and combine smaller lots into a larger parcel for redevelopment, it is in the
community's best interest to acquire single - family homes on Brooklyn Boulevard, and residents
support the City having fewer rental properties. The Council directed staff to negotiate the best
acquisition price for consideration by the Council at an Executive Session.
MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION
DATE: April 22, 2010 .
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Gary Eitel, Director of Business and Development
SUBJECT: Opportunity to acquire the Northbrook Apartments, 6037 Brooklyn Boulevard as
part of the reimaging of Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider the offer by Jerald Fenstad, the owner of the
Northbrook Apartments and the potential opportunities associated with the acquisition in the
reimaging of Brooklyn Boulevard.
Background:
Sales of Northbrook Apartments:
Mr. Fenstad has indicated his plans to sell the Northbrook Apartments this year and is inquiring
on the potential interest of the City as a prospective buyer of Brooklyn Boulevard properties.
This 11 unit apartment building, constructed in 1961 on a 26,120 sq. ft. lot, is zoned R -5
Multiple Family Residence District and has a 2010 assessed valuation of $545,000.
Mr. Fenstad has indicated that the 11 units would be vacant and is asking $560,000 with a •
closing to occur on or before June 30 2010.
Federal Relocation Laws:
The City is required to comply with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisitions Policies Act Laws that apply to all public projects and acquisitions that result in the
displacement of tenants from their homes. Our consultant has previously advised use that these
costs could be in the $10,000 to $15,000 per unit ranges.
Note: an apartment complex acquisition by a neighboring community reported that their
relocation benefits were $5,000- $6,000 per unit with about 50% of the tenants receiving
benefits.
Consideration of these potential costs should be considered in the negotiations /structuring of the
purchase agreement. It may be possible to arrive at a sales price not to exceed an agreed upon
price that includes the potential payments of relocation costs. An example of this option, as
applied to this offer would be $450,000 paid at closing and $110,000 placed in an escrow
account from which draws are authorized to pay for relocation costs. Upon satisfaction of the
relocation requirements the seller retains the balance of the escrow account.
Should the Council decide to proceed with this acquisition, our Relocation Consultant will be
included in the drafting of the purchase agreement.

MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION
. Visioning / Remmaging of the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor:
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update recognized this portion of the Brooklyn Boulevard
corridor as a community planning issue that required additional review and specific attention on
the issues and opportunities associated with land use planning and guidance related to the Land
Use and Transportation Elements of the Plan.
As part of the implementation strategies of the plan, there has been discussion of commencing
with a scoping plan that indentifies the issues ( including existing conditions, constraints, and
problems areas) , the agencies and partners that have a role in this right of way corridor, the
potential partners in this study ( property owners, area residences, business owners, and the
development community) and potential opportunities that would assist in identifying and
developing options (the casting of different visions, updating the current land uses, or reimaging
this transportation corridor and reshaping its land uses).
After this step, that will emphasize ownership in the study and its outcome, the City will be
asking the County to participate in retaining the appropriate consultants to undertake the
updating of the former Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Studies and Streetscape Plans.
With respect to the visioning of the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor, I believe that the potential
opportunities associated with property acquisitions provides the City with the ability to control
the planning and redevelopment of future land uses and right of way management that has
. limited the City's and County's ability in the past to reimage this portion of the corridor.
Note: The discussions with the Planning Commission on implementation strategies will continue
to focus on our successes (the Boulevard Market redevelopment, the 69 Ave. Parkway (east of
Brooklyn Boulevard) the initial phase of the Brooklyn Boulevard improvements that extended to
65 Avenue, the Xerxes & Bass Lake Road Streetscape Improvements, and the Bellvue /53
Avenue Streetscape improvements and the lessons that we have learned from these projects.
Council Policy Issues
1. Does the City Council believe that it is in the community's best interest to continue the
acquisition of properties within the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor?
2. Does the City Council support the prioritizing of the use of TIF #3 Housing Funds for
this acquisition?
Budget Issues:
Funding source could be TIF 3 housing fund which has approximately $2,000,000 in unallocated
funds and an annual revenue stream of approximately $300,000 through remaining life of this
Tax Increment District/2021.

nothing), and (ii) the GSA has terminated its lease. Following a foreclosure sale, EDA may
exercise its right of reverter during the redemption period (by going to court), but must follow
certain requirements (name the new holder of the sheriff's certificate and serves such party with
all pleadings, place the funds required to redeem with the court, and simultaneous reverter and
disbursement of funds).
16. The right of reverter terminates at the end of the redemption period (we are asking the
lender to carve out redemption by PH, in which case the EDA would retain its right of reverter).
17. EDA agrees not to exercise remedies that would cause a default under the GSA lease
(required because the GSA can terminate the lease if, for example, the EDA exercised its right of
reverter and became the owner of the property). This does not prevent the EDA from enforcing
the tax covenant or exercising reverter rights under Section 15.
18. Lender is provided additional time to cure defaults by PH under the Development
Agreement and the EDA agrees not to exercise its remedies under the Development Agreement
until the lender has had time to exercise its remedies under the mortgage and loan documents.
• 19. Lender may become the owner f h f it forecloses i mortgage, and ma
y o the property i o is y
assign the interest in the property and Development Agreement to any entity. The EDA retains
its rights under section 15 (it can use reverter if project is not completed).
20. Lender may elect to terminate the Development Agreement after foreclosure. No future
owner would be responsible for defaults of developer or lender. The tax covenant would remain
in effect.
21. The completion date for the project will be extended if the mortgage is required to be
extended, but not past February 1, 2013 (13 months) without the consent of the EDA.
The remaining provisions are largely boilerplate, but please let us know if there are any
questions.
