Approving One (1) Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority Grant (File No. H -115 [8041]) 6. Adjournment l l Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION REGARDING HENNEPIN COUNTY FUNDING OF COOPERATIVE HIGHWAY PROJECTS WHEREAS, in a policy dated June, 1978, Hennepin County established parameters for determining an appropriate division of cost participation to be used by the County in funding cooperative roadway and street construction projects with municipalities; and WHEREAS, since 1978 municipalities within the County have accepted said policy and cooperated with the County in the construction and reconstruction of County roads and highways; and WHEREAS, municipalities have established capital improvement programs which contemplate the improvement of County roads and highways based upon the receipt of County funds as outlined in said policy; and WHEREAS, in a draft policy dated June, 1993 and revised in August 1993, the County proposes a number of changes to the established parameters contained in the June, 1978 policy; and WHEREAS, all of the changes between the existing June, 1978 policy and draft 1993 policy provide for a reduction of the County's cost participation in the funding of cooperative roadway and street construction projects within municipalities; and WHEREAS, the draft June, 1993 policy includes a provision which, by the County's own statement, is intended to discourage the use of tax increment financing for the municipal share of a project, and when used, to require a higher municipal cost share; and WHEREAS, the cost division parameters contained in the June, 1978 policy have been accepted as an appropriate division of cost participation to be used by the County and as a result has been the basis for long range capital improvement planning by the City of Brooklyn Center; and WHEREAS, the implementation of this policy will encourage development in the rural or underdeveloped areas of the County and cause disinvestment in the development areas as well as deterioration of existing facilities due to the County's disparate funding formula. This disparity is due to the reduction in the percentage of funding for the developed areas of the County versus the rural areas; and WHEREAS, the County's claim that a reduction in cost participation by the County is justified because of the fact that County property tax funds are becoming increasingly limited is, in fact, unjustified because in reducing its participation, the County would shift the tax burden to the City; and RESOLUTION NO. WHEREAS, the County's proposed policy relative to the use of tax increment financing is a misguided attempt to punish municipalities attempting to improve conditions in areas of need, when in fact, the expenditure of tax increment financing will ultimately result in higher property tax receipts for the County. Further, if tax increment financing is utilized, the costs of the project to the City will increase, thereby potentially increasing the amount of tax increment financing used, which in turn may delay the time period upon which properties can be returned to the tax rolls. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that: For the aforementioned reasons, the Hennepin County Commissioners are urged to reject the proposed 1993 policy and retain the June 1978 policy as an equitable means of establishing an appropriate division of cost participation to be used by the County in funding cooperative roadway and street construction projects with municipalities. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Brooklyn Center will assist Hennepin County officials to obtain increased funding through the County State Aid formula which is currently an unfair allocation according to population. Date Todd Paulson, Mayor ATTEST: Deputy 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.

The motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEM EARLE BROWN HERITAGE CENTER CHILLER The City Manager explained the EDA was contacted by the PCA about a noise violation associated with the chiller at the Heritage Center. He reviewed the report submitted by the Director of Community Development including a memo from David Braslau Associates, Inc. regarding what could be done to alleviate the problem. 8/23/93 - 1 - Commissioner Scott questioned the costs listed in the report as compared to the total cost of the proposed improvements. The Director of Community Development clarified the project was divided into stages because of the cost. He explained the first stage was to install louvers ($6,440) to determine how much the noise would be reduced. He added since further reduction is needed, the cost to complete the project is approximately $32,000 compared to approximately $45,000 on the original estimate.

CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date 9/77/93 Agenda Item Number 6 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF 5500 EMERSON AVENUE NORTH AND AUTHORIZING PAYMENT FOR ACQUISITION COSTS DEPT. APPROVAL: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialist MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOAMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached X ) EDA Resolution 93 -24 authorized the EDA staff to make an offer of $59,000 for the single - family property located at 5500 Emerson Avenue North. EDA staff made a written offer to the owners of the property for the $59,000 acquisition price and the owners of the property, John and Marilyn Barland, agreed in writing to the offer of $59,000 and agreed to enter into a purchase agreement for the sale of their property to the Brooklyn Center EDA. On July 26, 1993, EDA staff presented a purchase agreement for the acquisition of 5500 Emerson Avenue North. The resolution presented at the July 26 EDA meeting, which would have authorized execution of the purchase agreement, was tabled to the August 9, 1993 EDA meeting to schedule for a future work session. At the August 9, 1993 EDA meeting, the item was scheduled for the EDA's next work session on September 20, 1993. Because of the events at the September 13 regular council /EDA meeting, the bulk of the September 13 agenda was transferred to the September 20 work session agenda and this item, originally scheduled for September 20, was pushed to the September 27, 1993 meeting. Copies of the July 26 and August 9 EDA minutes are included with this request form. EDA staff consulted with the City Attorney's office and although there are arguments to the contrary, in the opinion of the EDA's legal counsel, the EDA still has the right to decline to enter into a purchase agreement for the property. As additional background information for this item, I spoke with several representatives of other cities and Hennepin County to find out how other municipalities did their scattered site . acquisitions. For acquisitions done with federal (CDBG) dollars, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that the agency purchasing property through voluntary or involuntary acquisition, must establish a "basis for just compensation." Generally, basis for just compensation is determined by a formal appraisal. It is permissible to use the assessor's market value as a basis for just compensation, however, as shown by the table on page 4 of this memorandum, the assessor's values are consistently higher than the values from independent appraisals. Formal independent appraisals provide a more complete analysis of the value of a particular property than do the assessor's values. In speaking with representatives of several cities doing scattered site acquisition, three of the four used formal appraisals to establish a basis for just compensation. The City of Richfield's scattered site acquisition and redevelopment program is one of the more successful programs in the metropolitan area. Richfield does independent appraisals on the property it purchases under its scattered site acquisition program and pays the appraised value for the lots. In the past, Richfield's acquisition of blighted properties was restricted to homes of $55,000 or lower in value, but, according to Richfield staff, this did not take into account unique situations where the property is a blighted property but the value of the property is somewhat higher in relation to the average value of blighted properties acquired. As an example, the Richfield HRA has paid as much as $71,000 for a blighted property. In this situation, the property acquired consisted of two lots which were subsequently developed as a single lot and the resulting home constructed on the lot was well above the median value of homes in the City. Richfield staff also informed me that approximately one -third of the homes they purchase under their scattered site program are below the assessor's market value, one -third are approximately at the assessor's value • and one -third of the homes are above the assessor's market value. Offers made on scattered site acquisitions in Richfield are at the appraised value and the City does not reduce the offers from the appraised value. As a contrast from Richfield, the City of Robbinsdale does not do independent formal appraisals on the properties they purchase as part of their scattered site acquisition program. The offers made by Robbinsdale on scattered site acquisitions are based on the assessor's market value. Offers are made either at or below the assessor's market value. The Robbinsdale program has been in place since 1975, and has allowed the City to take advantage of the pre -1979 tax increment legislation, which provided them great flexibility in establishing a tax increment district for their scattered site acquisitions and redevelopment. Essentially, the Robbinsdale staff does a tax increment pro forma on lots they are considering on buying and bases their offer on how the acquisition price, estimated sale price of the lot sold for redevelopment, along with the estimated market value of the new house developed on the site would perform financially with regard to their tax increment program. Another feature of the Robbinsdale program is that the Robbinsdale HRA does not use any federal (CDBG) dollars in their acquisition program. Robbinsdale staff informed me that they feel the use of federal dollars makes the acquisitions significantly more difficult, both in terms of the amount of administrative work needed to acquire the properties and the restrictions on the sale of the lots acquired with federal funds. • The City of Crystal has a relatively small scattered site acquisition program and acquires one to two homes per year. Crystal staff informed me that they do formal independent appraisals on properties considered for scattered site acquisition and based the offer on the amount of the 2 independent appraisal. The City of New Hope also has a limited scattered site acquisition program, and also does appraisals on their scattered site acquisitions. The City of New Hope's offers are based on the values established by the independent appraisals, however, in at least one of the appraisals the final estimate of the fair market value of the property was adjusted by the cost of removing the existing structure on the lot. In this appraisal, the estimated site value of the property with the house was $32,000, the cost to remove the existing structure was $5,000, and the final estimate of fair market value $27,000 ($32,000 less $5,000). In light of the information obtained from other cities' scattered site programs, I would recommend we review our acquisition procedures to make certain we are proceeding in the most cost effective manner. Our procedures seem to be consistent with what other cities are doing, but I believe there are some ways to improve the process. With regard to the acquisition of 5500 Emerson, I would recommend we proceed with the acquisition at the $59,000 appraised value. I am basing this recommendation on several factors which are as follows: • The property is a justifiable acquisition with regard to its condition. There are enough problems with the structure so that it does not make economic sense to rehabilitate it. • The acquisition (appraisal) cost of the property relative to the assessor's market value is in keeping with past acquisitions. • • The property provides two buildable lots for redevelopment. RECOMMENDATION If the EDA chooses to proceed with this acquisition it should approve the resolution. If the EDA chooses not to proceed with this acquisition it should pass a motion rejecting the resolution and purchase agreement. 3 COMPARISON OF ACQUISITION PRICES AND ASSESSOR'S MARKET VALUE FOR BROOKLYN CENTER EDA SCATTERED SITE ACQUISITIONS ASSESSORS MARKET VALUE IN YEAR OF ADDRESS ACQUISITION PRICE ACQUISITION 6730 PERRY AVE.

The City Manager explained it could but the Council and Planning Commission usually encourage larger residential lots. The Community Development Specialist stated the 93 interior lot would be approximately 75 feet (frontage) by 135 feet (depth) and the exterior I 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. �m Commissioner Kalligher questioned the value of the property. The Community Development Specialist stated he is comfortable with the appraisal. for Commissioner Kalligher asked if properties along Brooklyn Boulevard should be considered ire 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 lu into the Brooklyn Boulevard Study staff may ask the EDA to consider that area as a higher are priority. Commissioner Kalligher suggested this matter be tabled until it can be further discussed d 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 te make this decision. Of 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 �A direction for funding they should notify Brooklyn Boulevard property owners of the intention Ld _ in an effort to avoid relocation costs. 7/26/93 -5 - j� There was a motion b_v Commissioner Scott and seconded by Commissioner Kalligh table further consideration of a Resolution Authorizing Execution of Purchase Agreerner for the Acquisition of 5500 Emerson Avenue North and Authorizing Payment of Acquisiti;; Costs to the August 9 199 Council meeting determine when this item can be g 3, Cou c eet g to ete seheduic for a work session agenda.

No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUABL&RY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached This past week, one of the applicants for the EDA rehabilitation grant program called to inform us that their furnace had stopped working. The Building Inspector inspected the applicant's furnace this week and it appears that the furnace will need to be replaced. Since there are small children and an elderly adult in poor health in the household, staff is recommending that these individuals be moved up on the waiting list to replace their furnace. Staff is also recommending additional work be done on the household along with the furnace replacement. The type of furnace they have in the house is a boiler -type hot water system with radiators. The inspections staff estimates that the cost of replacing this heating system could expend the majority of funds under the $10,000 limit; however, we will attempt to get as much done as we can in this household. It should be pointed out that due to the emergency nature of this situation the applicant's income eligibility has not yet been determined and is in process. Staff is recommending approval of this project, contingent on the applicant's meeting the income and other eligibility requirements. It should be noted that even in emergency situations, applicants must meet the income requirements to qualify for assistance. The application for this household will be a handout at the meeting. The home is approximately 41 years old and has a 1993 market value of $79,000. The home /applicant has not received a previous grant under the program. The resolution approving this project contains language that makes the approval contingent on the applicant meeting all eligibility requirements for the program.
