DISCUSSION ITEM
UPD ATE ON WESTMINSTER CORFORATION AC UISITIQN OF THE POND5 AND
DISCUSSION OF REQUEST FOR FUTURE CDBG PARTIAL OF
COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THE PONDS
The Community Development Specialist reported Westminster Housing Corporation is a
nonprofit housing corporation who has been negotiating the acquisition of The Ponds with
the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA), the current mortgagor. He explained The
Ponds is a project based Section 8 development with 112 units where the rent subsidy stays
with the unit rather than the tenant. He stated Westminster Corporation has applied for
and received $700,000 from the Federal HOME Program to acquire The Ponds. He further
stated a community center (estimated cost $200,000) was part of the overall plan for The
Ponds since the outset of this proposed acquisition by Westminster. He added they have
secured $100,000 of funding for the community center from foundation resources, however,
this contribution is contingent on the City participating in funding a portion of the
community center so they are requesting funding of $100,000 from Brooklyn Center.
The Community Development Specialist suggested the EDA consider funding this through
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program over a four -year period at
$25,000 per year.
Mary Grace Flannery explained MHFA invited a non - profit owner to purchase The Ponds
because of tho types of problems they have had with past management. She further
explained the recent Congressional action to establish a process to save affordable housing
for low- and moderate- income families by allowing nonprofits to acquire projects. She
reported Westminster has made a commitment to serve the community they work in and
developed a model for managing to assure access and affordability of appropriate social and
human services.
Ms. Flannery reviewed a project in West St. Paul which they have acquired and developed
a community center which has been very important in turning the project around and
developing residents with the ability to become independent citizens. She reviewed their
funding efforts for The Ponds community center and stated, it approved, foundations would
finance the City's contribution to cover the initial cost and then pay it back with the City's
four -year contribution.
7/26/93 -2-
Commissioner Scott asked if the community center will be used primarily for meeting
purposes, Ms. Flannery answered affirmatively and added it will provide space, oil site for
the residents to use to develop community and resident services and arrange for activities.
She stated they would also include members of the broader community bot would essentially
be space for residents of The Ponds.
Commissioner Scott commented the estimated cost of $200,000 was substantial and asked
if the center would include a gymnasium. Ms. Flannery stated it would not. Commissioner
Scott noted most projects consider the needs of older residents and young children but do
not provide for teenagers and young adults. Ms. Flannery explained the actual building and
nature of the programs will be determined after acquisition of the building when meetings
can be held with residents and their needs assessed. She added the service director will
spend time with the Community Resource Center to determine the residents' needs and be
jointly supportive.
Ms. Flannery stated Westminster feels they need a facility on site in order to meet the
residents' needs. She added they are not "wedded" to the $200,000 figure; it is an Cstiitlate
and they have not even decided what the building will look like. She explained the
community center would serve The Ponds and other programs could be held in conjunction
with the Community Resource Center.
President Paulson expressed concern Westminster has not prepared a concept for the
building, services to be offered, or integration of options with other Organizations in the
community. He stated he feels this concept should be considered but he does not have
enough information to make the large commitment being requested. He suggested one of
the housing units be used instead of constructing a new building. Ms. Flannery explained
they need to be able to accommodate large groups and the project is currently fully leased.
President Paulson suggested they consider using the police department site. Ms. Flannery
explained they ara meeting with Resource Center staff to determine ways to share resuuices
and still meet the needs of The Ponds residents.
Commissioner Kalligher asked if the community center would be restricted to The Ponds
residents. Ms. Flannery stated it would not because activities would reach beyond but it
would be designed to facilitate development of a resident service program.
President Paulson questioned funding resources besides CDBG. The Community
Development Specialist reported on use of CUBG funds for Year XIX, noting tthc proposed
request could be partially funded from Year XX. He added the money for Year XX does
not really exist yet and there has been some discussion CDBG funds may go for flood relief,
but he doubted this would happen. He stated the EDA may not want to make a
commitment tonight but asked if they would provide an indication regarding use of Year XX
CDBG funding with the understanding more detailed information would be presented on
the community center.
7/26193 - 3 -
Commissioner Kalligher expressed concern with spending money that may not even be
available in Year XX. She suggested this matter be tabled until the Council has more
details on funding that will be available and community center specifics.
The Community Development Specialist explained the financing from the Federal HOME
Program is contingent upon constructing some type of community center space by the and
of 1994, and the foundation resources funding for the community center is contingent upon
the City participating in funding a portion.
Ms. Flannery added if approved they will close on the acquisition by September 1, 1993,

the opportunity to keep this project "alive" and come back with a sketch.
The Community Development Specialist stated staff discussed this request as part of
supporting a different model of management, one which is not currently in place in Brooklyn
Center. He agreed with the need for a substantial, long -term commitment to provide
support to residents, and the community center is part of that long -term commitment.
President Paulson stated the intention is good but Westminster is asking the City for
$100 ,000 of funding but has not presented any details r the facility or servic to be
provided.
Commissioner Scott agreed and stated this may be a concept the Council supports but the
requested funding would take a "big piece" of the CDBC program. Shc suggestcd

Council would he putting the "cart before the horse" if they were to fund a project before
knowing what the project entails.
Commissioner Kalligher suggested this matter also be reviewed by the Human Rights and
Resources Commission.
The City Manager asked if this project should he considered with other funding requests and
follow that process,
President Paulson concurred and asked for information on how this program would integrate
with other programs in the City, what other options have been explored, how the. uee.ds of
teenagers and young adults will be met, possibility of working with the police substation,
balance of this request with other CDBC uses, etc.
Ms. Flannery stated the Resident Services Director could put this program together in
cooperation with existing Community Resource Center uses and supply the rcquested
information to the Council,

RESOLUTIONS - (MNTINU DD)
The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing Execution of Purchase Agreement
for the Acquisition of 5500 Emerson Avenue North and Authorizing Payment of Acquisition
Costs.
Commissioner Scott asked if this property could be split and used for two single family
homes. The City Manager explained it could but the Council and Planning Commission
usually encourage larger residential lots. The Community Development Specialist stated the
interior lot would he approximately 75 feet (frontage) by 135 feet (depth) and the exterior
lot would be 120 feet (frontage) by 135 feet (depth). Commissioner Scott stated her support
of using it as two lots since both would be over the minimum_ standards. She further stated
selling two buildable lots would recoup some of the costs, and a smaller site may attract a
first -time home buyer. The City Manager pointed out one would be a corner lot with larger
setbacks.
Commissioner Kalligher questioned the value of the property. The Community
Development Specialist stated he is comfortable with the appraisal.
Commissioner Kalligher asked if properties along Brooklyn Boulevard should be considered
for acquisition since it will tie into the Brooklyn Boulevard Study and provide a greater
impact. The Community Development Specialist stated staff has discussed this option and
arrived at the conclusion that doing so results in targeting for redevelopment more directly.
He agreed with that philosophy.
The City Manager explained this is a Council policy decision and as the City gets further
into the Brooklyn Boulevard Study staff may ask the EDA to consider that arca us a higher
priority.
Commissioner Kalligher suggested this matter be tabled until it can be further discussed
during a work session,
President Paulson agreed and added it would be beneficial to discuss options for putting
money into the "interior of the community" or on the "exterior" such as along Brooklyn
Boulevard where it will provide more impact. The City Manager stated once the initial work
on the Brooklyn Boulevard Study is completed, the Council may be in a better position to
make this decision.
Commissioner Scott stated she has no problem with tabling for further discussion, but this
is one acquisition where the City has the ability to recoup their costs by selling two lots. She
commented on the deteriorating condition of this house. She stated if the EDA changes
direction for funding they should notify Brooklyn Boulevard property owners of the intention
in an effort to avoid relocation costs.
