CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Council Meeting Date April 12, 1 Agenda Item Number REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR FUNDING UNDER THE MINNESOTA CITY PARTICIPATION PROGRAM (MCPP) DEPT. APPROVAL: To ublitz, Community Development Specialist MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes The Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP) is a mortgage program offered through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) for first -time home buyers. Through the MCPP, the MHFA sells bonds on behalf of cities participating in the program. The interest rates on these mortgages are typically 1 1 /2 to 2 percentage points below market mortgage interest rates. In 1992, the City of Brooklyn Center, along with 36 other Minnesota cities, participated in the MCPP and was able to offer first -time home buyers a 7.10% interest rate on home mortgages. During the 1992 MCPP contract period, which ran from June, 1992 through March 23, 1993, the MCPP in Brooklyn Center provided 34 separate home mortgage loans for a total of $2,361,690. The average loan amount was over $69,000. The City was able to exceed its allotted amount since all unused mortgage allotments as of December, 1992 were transferred into a statewide pool from which all cities in the MCPP could reserve funds. There are other first -time home buyer programs available through the MHFA, such as the Minnesota Mortgage Program, which is offered directly to banks by the MHFA; however, the advantage of the MCPP is that the City has a specific set aside of mortgage funds and is able to market the program as a City program. Additionally, the City's rental to owner conversion pilot project is designed to make use of MCPP first -time home buyer funds whenever possible. In order to apply for the program, the City, through the EDA, must submit an application identifying local housing needs relative to the program. The City must also submit a proposal deposit equal to 1% of its requested allocation. The deposit will be returned, in full, upon the sale of mortgage revenue bonds. Cities may apply for a maximum set aside in the amount of $4,000,000, or 20% of the bond authority that is available for mortgage revenue bonds after the first Monday in April, whichever is less. Last year's participating lenders in the program were Marquette Bank, Brookdale, Norwest Mortgage, Inc., and Bell Mortgage Company. All three of these lenders have expressed an intent to participate in the 1993 program, plus Investors Savings Bank has also requested to be a 1993 participating lender. • The MCPP has been a very successful program for the City of Brooklyn Center. Last year's program showed a strong interest in the housing market in Brooklyn Center. As a result, the program does require a considerable amount of staff time to respond to inquiries and requests for information on the program, particularly in the first few weeks of the program. There are no direct costs to the City for participating in this program. The major cost to the City to participate in the program is staff time and any additional marketing, such as newspaper ads, etc., that the City would choose to do. Included with this request form are several attachments relative to the program, including: 1. Resolution Authorizing Submittal of an Application for Funding Under the Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP); 2. Proposed MCPP application; 3. Letters of intent to participate in the program from lenders; and 4. Brochures from last year's MCPP. As of the date of this memorandum, mortgage revenue bonds may not be issued as the legal authority for such issuance expired as of June 30, 1992 and a tax bill authorizing their issuance has not been passed by Congress and signed by the President. It is anticipated that the authority to issue these bonds will be renewed by the Congress this year, but the timing for this renewal is uncertain. The most optimistic projections for their renewal is for the President to sign an tax bill by late spring or early summer. However, it is possible that this matter may not be resolved until fall. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Resolution Authorizing Submittal of an Application for Funding Under the Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP). yIA 4 Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR FUNDING UNDER THE MINNESOTA CITY PARTICIPATION PROGRAM MCPP WHEREAS, the Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP) provides Minnesota cities with mortgage financing for first time home buyers; and WHEREAS, the housing plans of the City of Brooklyn Center recognize the need for affordable housing opportunities for first time home buyers of moderate and low income; and WHEREAS, the Minnesota City Participation Program will provide needed financing for first time home buyers in the City of Brooklyn Center; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center as follows: 1. Staff is hereby authorized to submit the application for funding under the Minnesota City Participation Program. 2. The Brooklyn Center EDA authorizes the submission of a proposal deposit of $35,000.00 (one percent [1 %] of the requested allocation) with the application with the understanding the proposal deposit will be refunded upon the sale of the mortgage revenue bonds. The source of funds for the proposal deposit shall be from the EDA fund reserve.

III. HOUSING PLAN In 1982, the City of Brooklyn Center adopted the City's comprehensive plan, which included a housing plan entitled, "PROVISIONS OF THE BROOKLYN CENTER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADOPTED AS THE CITY'S HOUSING PLAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH MINNESOTA STATUTES 462C ". Since the 1982 Housing Plan was adopted, the City has adopted two new housing plans, one entitled, "The Brooklyn Center Housing Market: A Study of Trends and Their Impact on the Community" prepared by the Maxfield Research Group, Inc., and one entitled, "Brooklyn Center Housing Implementation Plan" prepared by Publicorp, Inc. The Maxfield Study was adopted by the Brooklyn Center City Council in 1989, and the Brooklyn Center Housing Implementation Plan was adopted in 1990. The information presented in this application for funding will include elements of all three plans with relevant updates of housing data. The description of the housing needs identified in the plans will focus on single family housing. Additionally, complete copies of all three plans are included with this application. A. DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER'S PRINCIPAL HOUSING NEEDS A general statement of the City of Brooklyn Center's housing needs is provided by the housing study prepared by the Maxfield Research Group, Inc. In this study, the goals are "to study the current image and condition of neighborhoods in the community, and to assess the impact of demographic and housing market trends on the vitality of each neighborhood. The objective of the study was to identify areas where trends are negatively influencing the long term potential of a particular neighborhood or sub - neighborhood, as well as to provide strategies for strengthening the livability of neighborhoods and identify goals and objectives the City can use to meet the changing housing needs of existing and future residents." A summary of the "changing housing needs of existing and future residents" include the following components which are contained in the City's housing -2- IIII � plans. 1. NEED FOR THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER TO STAY COMPETITIVE FOR FIRST TIME HOME BUYER MARKET The Maxfield Study describes the shrinking first time home buyer market by pointing out "from 1980 to 1990, the number of persons aged 18 to 24 will shrink by fifteen percent (15 %), and the number of persons aged 14 to 17 will shrink by twelve percent (12 %). These two groups will be the major market for both entry level rental housing and smaller, more modest, single family homes over the next twenty years." The Maxfield Study states further that: "In order to remain vital, Brooklyn Center will need to be able to compete for entry level homeowners, who may find it more desirable to purchase a modest, but new home in areas such as Anoka, Champlin, Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids or Maple Grove, where affordable, newer starter homes are still available." Table 1 on the in the list of attachments shows a demographic profile of the shrinking first time home buyer market. The Minnesota Cities Participation Program (MCPP) would provide a needed tool to assist the City of Brooklyn Center to remain competitive in the first time home buyer market. . NEED TO MAINTAIN REMODEL AGING REHABILITATE AND O G HOUSING STOCK Census data shows that, of the approximately 11,000 housing units in Brooklyn Center, 49% had been built between 1940 and 1959. Another 31 % were built during the 1960s, and 17.6 % during the 1970s. Table 2 in the list of attachments shows the age of the housing stock in Brooklyn Center and several surrounding communities. The need for a variety of efforts to provide financing programs, including loans and grants, to provide a source of funds to accomplish single family rehabilitation and remodeling is addressed in all of the City's housing plans. 3. NEED FOR SINGLE FAMILY REDEVELOPMENT THROUGH NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION The Maxfield Study points out the need to "remove any deteriorating housing, or housing in areas where the land could be better utilized by buying back homes as they come up for sale." -3- The Maxfield Study also emphasizes the need to construct single family homes in the areas cleared of deteriorated housing, and that "new, single family homes should be designed to complement existing housing, but with designs geared to today's lifestyles." 4. NEED TO PROMOTE HOME OWNERSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY The increasing difficulty of potential first time home buyers to afford to buy a home is explained in the Maxfield Study by the following: "According to a recent survey by Chicago Title and Trust Company, national trends show that persons who bought homes in 1988 are making larger mortgage payments, an average of 32.8% of family income, compared to 29.3 % in 1987. Also, first time buyers are paying a larger chunk of their income (34.8%) than repeat buyers (31.4%). These trends confirm that the cost of buying a home is becoming prohibitive for younger buyers." Additionally, both the Brooklyn Center Housing Implementation Plan and the City's 1982 Housing Plan point out the need to provide home ownership opportunities, especially for persons of low and moderate income. 5. NEED TO PROMOTE HOUSING MAINTENANCE THROUGH CONTINUED CODE ENFORCEMENT All three of the City housing plans emphasize the need to continue strong housing maintenance code enforcement to assist in maintaining the City's housing stock. 6. NEED TO ASSURE NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION AND RENOVATION All three City housing plans stress the need for neighborhood preservation. This area addresses a wide variety of needs that encompasses most of the other identified needs and adds other needs such as providing for and financing public improvements (streets, curb and gutter, etc.), resident involvement in neighborhood issues and programs and neighborhood prornotion. B. DATA SOURCES AND METHODS USED TO DETERMINE THE DESCRIBED NEEDS Development of City housing plans relied on a wide variety of data and information, including census data, Metropolitan Council reports and specific -4- studies prepared by professional consultants which address housing trends throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Primary research was also used in developing the plans, including personal inspections of all neighborhoods, interviews with local realtors, rental property managers, local lenders and other individuals who have a stake in trends impacting housing conditions. Data was also collected through City records and City staff interviews and research including assessment department records, building inspection records and research done by staff including an inventory conducted through a windshield survey of single family housing conditions. C. THE SPECIFIC PLAN DEVELOPED TO MEET IDENTIFIED HOUSING NEEDS INCLUDING THE RESOURCES TO BE ACCESSED AND THE METHODS USED TO CARRY OUT THE PLAN The Maxfield Research Study focused on identifying the primary housing needs of the City and the relative housing market position of the City. The 1982 Housing Plan and the Housing Implementation Plan adopted in 1990 focused on specific plans and recommendations for meeting the identified housing needs. Plan elements and recommendations include the following: 1. CONTINUE SPOT RENEWAL PROGRAM This is the program that provides for acquisition and clearance of deteriorated single family properties and redevelopment of the properties with single family homes. The City has acquired and cleared eight properties under this program to date, and plans two to three additional acquisitions for 1993. 2. WORK WITH AVAILABLE PROGRAMS (MHFA AND HUD) WHICH PROVIDE FUNDS FOR REHABILITATION LOANS AND GRANTS AND HOME MORTGAGES a. The City currently operates a deferred loan (grant) program with CDBG funds. The program provides up to $10,000.00 per home for home rehabilitation, including replacement and rehabilitation of mechanical systems, electrical, plumbing, windows, doors, exteriors, etc. b. The City was one of the four test market cities for the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's Purchase Plus Program. -5- C. The City makes use of the MHFA Home Energy Loan program and Home Improvement Loan program (fix -up fund). Those persons who do not qualify for the City's CDBG deferred loan program are referred to these programs. d. The Minnesota Cities Participation Program would provide another needed element to programs currently underway in the City. 3. CONTINUATION OF HOUSING MAINTENANCE ENFORCEMENT Both the 1982 and current Housin g Implementation lementation Plan emphasize the need to maintain a high level of enforcement under the City's existing housing maintenance ordinance. A staff housing maintenance enforcement team consisting of representatives from the Community Development Department, Building Inspection staff, Police Department and City Prosecutor's Office work together to address non - routine and serious enforcement problems. Building Inspection staff respond to routine housing maintenance complaints and provide a day -to -day enforcement of the Housing Maintenance Ordinance. Additionally, as recommended by the Housing Implementation Plan, the City's Housing Commission is reviewing the Housing Maintenance Ordinance and considering alternatives for additional enforcement tools which could be added to the City's enforcement efforts. 4. NEIGHBORHOOD RENEWAL AND PRESERVATION PROGRAM This element of the plan addresses many program elements that combine to afford neighborhoods opportunities to develop a comprehensive approach to maintaining and improving their neighborhoods. The Housing Implementation Plan recommends the City work with community residents to assist in planning and implementing a neighborhood revitalization strategy. Additional elements include: Identification of target areas for concentrated activity, offering design services to neighborhood residents interested in property improvements and assisting in the organization of a homeowner's association to maintain housing. The City is pursuing these recommendations through the formation of a —6— neighborhood housing advisory committee. This group has been formed with residents of the City's southeast neighborhood. This Southeast (Earle Brown) Neighborhood Advisory Committee is working towards a neighborhood renewal and preservation program by developing an action agenda with specific recommendations and projects including a neighborhood housing newsletter, sponsoring neighborhood projects such as a Paint -A -Thou planned for 1993, considering a major street improvement project and other activities related to housing maintenance and neighborhood improvement. 5. PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO CONVERT RENTAL OCCUPIED UNITS TO OWNER OCCUPIED UNITS The City of Brooklyn Center is offering a program for first time home buyers purchasing absentee -owned properties in an identified target area (ITA), which is located in the City's southeast neighborhood. This program provides economic incentives to eligible home buyers by offering rehabilitation grants and closing cost grants. To qualify, a home buyer must make improvements to the property and must obtain a mortgage from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency or another recognized financial institution. The purpose of the rehabilitation grant is to provide an economic incentive for first time home buyers while at the same time improving the existing housing stock in the identified target area in Brooklyn Center. Rehabilitation grants are available to eligible home buyers who are purchasing and rehabilitating absentee -owned properties. The rehabilitation grants are made for the purpose of improving property and will be made in amounts up to $5,000, not to exceed the cost of improvements. In addition to rehabilitation grants, qualified borrowers may also receive a closing cost grant of up to $1,500. This grant may be used towards payment of eligible closing costs, not to include prepaids. 6. EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM The 1982 Housing Plan calls for an exterior maintenance assistance program. The City's 1993 CDBG Program allocates $8,000.00 to continue a program started in 1992. Projects under this new program will be limited to exterior maintenance, such as painting, siding, roof repair, sidewalk and step repair for persons 62 years of age and older or for disabled persons. -7- D. DESCRIPTION OF ANY TARGET AREAS TO BE ADDRESSED LN THE PLAN The southeast (Earle Brown) neighborhood is the City's oldest. The neighborhood is bounded by Minneapolis on the south, the Mississippi River on the east, I -94/I -694 on the north and Shingle Creek on the west. The area's predominant land use is single family residential. The Maxfield Study indicates that approximately twenty -five percent (25 %) of the area's single family homes were constructed prior to 1950, and the remainder were built in the 1950s or early 1960s. The area's housing style varies greatly. Located within the area are farmhouses, post -war bungalows, and two story houses built in the 1980s. The City's southeast neighborhood has been targeted as the neighborhood to focus on for neighborhood preservation and renewal. More MCPP loans were generated in the southeast neighborhood in 1992 than in any of the other 5 city neighborhoods. E. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITY OF CITY The implementation of the City's housing plan will be undertaken by the Economic Development Authority for the City of Brooklyn Center. In addition to EDA authority, the Brooklyn Center EDA has all powers granted to HRAs by State statute. Additionally, the City's Housing Commission and Earle Brown Neighborhood Advisory Committee will assist the EDA in implementation of the housing plan. City staff available to implement the housing plan include the Community Development Director and Community Development Specialist. Additionally, as the needs of specific projects may demand, other City staff members are called upon to provide assistance, including the Building Inspection staff, Assessing and Engineering departments. Private consultants are also utilized in specialized areas of plan implementation, such as relocation advisory services. The City of Brooklyn Center has been actively involved in administering housing programs for well over a decade, and has implemented numerous housing programs and projects, both single family and multi- family housing. With regard to specific programs providing for single family mortgages, the City of Brooklyn Center, along with the cities of Columbia Heights, Robbinsdale and Moorhead jointly developed and offered a single family mortgage program for first time home buyers in 1982. In this program, the City of Brooklyn Center issued $2,750,000.00 in single family mortgage loans. IV. PROGRAM SPECIFICS OG S CS A. HOW PROGRAM FITS INTO COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING PLAN The ability to offer low interest mortgage loans for single family homes is an important element in the overall City housing plan. It provides a necessary tool to assist the City in keeping its housing stock competitive with housing in neighboring communities and outer ring suburban housing. The first time home buyer loan program will also help to achieve a second feature of the housing plan, which is to encourage home ownership by developing financing programs to facilitate home ownership, especially for persons of moderate and low income. Finally, the City plans to use a very limited number of loans for new construction where new construction replaces a structurally substandard structure. Presently, the City owns five lots where substandard lots were removed under the City's spot renewal program, and anticipates clearing two to three more in 1993. It is anticipated two loans could be made for new construction. B. BORROWER INCOME LIMITS To provide the greatest possible opportunity for the sale of homes under the first time home buyer program, the City of Brooklyn Center will use the maximum household income of $40,800.00 to qualify potential borrowers. C. HOUSE PURCHASE PRICE LIMITS The house price limits for existing single family homes will be $85,000.00 and $95,000.00 for two family homes, the MHFA limits for the Twin Cities metropolitan area. For new construction, the house price limit will be $95,000.00, as per MHFA requirements. D. TARGETING OF SPECIFIC POPULATION GROUPS No specific target population groups will be targeted under the program. -9- E. TARGETING OF AREA OR HOUSING STOCK The program will be open to all neighborhoods in the City. However, special marketing efforts will be made in the southeast neighborhood, including the neighborhood designated as the target area for the rental to owner program. Additionally, the City intends to use a small portion of the funds (up to 2 loans) for new construction on properties where new construction replaces a structurally substandard building. F. OPTIONAL PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS The City, through its pilot project rental to owner conversion program, will be offering up to a $5,000 grant for rehabilitation of absentee -owned property converted to owner - occupied status. In addition to the rehabilitation grant of $5,000, qualified borrowers can also receive a closing cost grant of up to $1,500. The purpose of the program is to provide financial incentives to first time home buyers to purchase absentee -owned properties and convert them to owner - occupied properties. It is the intent of the rental to owner conversion program to make use of the MCPP mortgages whenever possible. As many as 10 to 12 homes could be included in the first rental to owner conversion program during the course of the MCPP program. G. SCHEDULE FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS The schedule for the release of funds will be immediate for the six month set aside period. H. WHY THIS PROGRAM IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR FUNDING The City of Brooklyn Center believes the proposal for participation in the Minnesota City Participation Program will be a valuable and successful financing tool for neighborhood revitalization for numerous reasons, including the following: 1. The City of Brooklyn Center had one of the highest rates of loan originations for metropolitan cities participating in the MCCP in 1992. MHFA records show 34 MCPP loans for a total amount of $2,361,690 were either purchased or reserved as of March 31, 1993. This exceeded the City's original allocation. 2. The housing in the City of Brooklyn Center is very affordable, and over ninety percent (90 %) of the single family homes are within the MHFA target values for the program. A breakdown of the number of homes in -10- the MHFA target range is included in the list of attachments at the end of this application (Table 3). 3. The Minnesota Cities Participation Program meets an identified need in the City's housing plan which will provide additional opportunities for home ownership. 4. The age of the City's population shows a potential for considerable turnover in single family housing. A breakdown of the age of City residents is included in the list of attachments (Table 4). 5. Employment base remains strong in the City so that housing location near employment will be a factor in home sales. V. ECONOMIC VIABILITY DESCRIBE WHY YOU FEEL THERE IS SUFFICIENT DEMAND IN YOUR MARKET TO USE THE MINNESOTA CITIES PARTICIPATION PROGRAM FUNDS REQUESTED. INDICATE THE DATA SOURCES USED TO PROTECT DEMAND A. The City of Brooklyn Center exceeded its allocation amount for mortgage loans 0 under the 1992 MCPP. The original allocation for the City was $2,187,157 and MHFA records show the total amount of mortgage loans either purchased or reserved as of March 31, 1993 was $2,361,690. With the additional enhancement of the City's rental to owner conversion program and the addition of one more participating lender in the program, the City anticipates an increased usage of the MCPP for the 1993 period. B. One of the indicators of demand for the Minnesota Cities Participation Program in the City of Brooklyn Center is the value of single family homes in the City. Table 3 in the list of attachments shows a summary of the number of single family homes valued at $85,000.00 or less and the number of duplexes valued at $95,000.00 or less. Approximately ninety -one percent (91 %) of the single family homes in the City of Brooklyn Center are valued within the price range eligible for the Minnesota Cities Participation Program. C. Real estate sales in the City of Brooklyn Center currently average approximately 250 homes per year. Assuming an average $70,000.00 purchase price, $3,500,000.00 in mortgage funds would provide fifty (50) loans or approximately twenty percent (20 %) of the average total for the year. The source of this real -11- estate sales data is from the City's assessing department and is based on actual single family home sales as recorded by Hennepin County. D. Table 4 in the list of attachments shows a breakdown of the age of the Brooklyn Center population according to 1990 census data. The data shows that over twenty -four percent (24 %) of Brooklyn Center's population is fifty -five (55) and over, which is an indication that many of these people will be "turning over" their houses as many change to other living arrangements. E. Over the past few months, the City staff has received numerous calls from individuals who are apparently "shopping" cities to find out which city can offer the best deal for a single family mortgage. As indicated previously in this proposal, the City of Brooklyn Center is in competition with other first ring suburbs and outlying suburbs for starter homes. The Minnesota City Participation Program would provide a needed tool to address the requests of these individuals looking for the best mortgage available. F. In an interview with a mortgage loan officer from Marquette Bank Brookdale the need for additional first time home buyer funds from a local source became apparent. Presently, Marquette Bank is authorized to fund first time home buyer loans under the Minnesota Mortgage Program. The mortgage loans under this program cannot be restricted to the City of Brooklyn Center. According to Marquette Bank Brookdale, requests for mortgage funds under the Minnesota Mortgage Program exceed funds available in the program. The Minnesota City Participation Program would help to address this unmet need for additional mortgage funding. VI. NEW CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS The Brooklyn Center EDA is proposing to use the Minnesota City Participation Program for new construction under Category A, "New Construction to Replace a Structurally Substandard Structure or Structures." The Brooklyn Center EDA's program involves limited and selected use of the new construction provisions of the MCPP. The Brooklyn Center EDA currently owns five single family lots in the City. The lots are available for redevelopment and were previously occupied by substandard single family dwellings acquired and cleared by the Brooklyn Center EDA through its Scattered Site Redevelopment Program under the Slum and Blight Clearance provisions of the Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program. Additionally, the Brooklyn Center EDA anticipates acquiring and clearing additional substandard properties in the City during 1993, and would like to access MCPP fiends for these additional properties if the redevelopment project timeline matches the availability of MCPP funds. -12- VII.

The EDA is the implementing body for the program and the attached resolution provides formal approval of the specific elements of the program. If the EDA approves the resolution, staff would begin implementing the program by conducting an informational meeting with nonhomestead, single - family property owners in the identified target area in the southeast neighborhood. Staff will be prepared to respond to questions regarding the program at the meeting. Vicki Murray of Thompson Associates, Inc., will also be at the meeting to respond to any questions the Council may have regarding the program. RECOMMENDEDATION • Staff recommends approval of the Resolution Approving Guidelines for Rental to Owner Conversion Program. Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION APPROVING GUIDELINES FOR RENTAL TO OWNER CONVERSION PROGRAM WHEREAS, the Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center (EDA) desires to undertake housing programs and activities in order to preserve existing housing and neighborhoods, to eliminate blighting influences and to redevelop substandard property in the City; and WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center EDA has determined that, due to numerous factors including market and income tax law changes, many single- family rental properties in the City of Brooklyn Center are experiencing deferred maintenance and a general disinvestment in the properties; and WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Brooklyn Center EDA to encourage and foster the highest possible maintenance of single - family properties in the City of Brooklyn Center; and WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center EDA has determined that one of the means to encourage a high level of home maintenance is to encourage owner occupancy of single - family properties; and WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center EDA has determined it is in the best interest of the City of Brooklyn Center to provide financial incentives to persons desiring to purchase and rehabilitate nonhomestead and single - family rental property, initially on a pilot project basis; and WHEREAS, the Brooklyn Center EDA has authorized a rental to owner conversion program in its 1993 annual budget; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center has granted concept approval to the rental to owner program at its February 22, 1993 City Council meeting; and WHEREAS, the activities to be included in the rental to owner program are authorized by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 469. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Economic Development Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center that the following activities and program guidelines are hereby approved for the EDA's rental to owner conversion program: 1. The rental to owner program shall be limited to the identified target area (ITA) , which is the area bounded by 57th Avenue on the north, 53rd Avenue on the south, Logan Avenue on the west and the Mississippi River on the east. EDA RESOLUTION NO. 2. REHABILITATION GRANTS Rehabilitation grants will be available to eligible home buyers who are purchasing and rehabilitating absentee -owned properties in the identified target area. The rehabilitation grants will be made for the purpose of improving the property and will be made in amounts up to $5,000, not to exceed the cost of improvements. The grant may be considered as a portion of the borrower's required down payment as permitted by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Rehabilitation grants will be made available on a first -come, first - served basis to qualifying applicants. In lieu of repayment of the rehabilitation grant, the grant recipient will make an alternative investment in the form of neighborhood community service. The specific service and sponsor shall be approved by the Brooklyn Center EDA and shall be evidenced by a down payment grant agreement, a copy of which is attached to this resolution. The amount of time volunteered for the community service is valued at $20.00 per hour for the purpose of this program and the work must be completed within two (2) years from the date of closing on the home. A grant recipient receiving a $5,000 rehabilitation grant will volunteer 250 hours. The grant recipient must complete and sign a grant application, obtain the signature of the sponsor for community service, and attach a copy of the proposed down payment grant agreement to the application. This application, along with a copy of the purchase agreement and bids for the rehabilitation work to be performed on the house, must be submitted to the program administrator three (3) weeks prior to closing. City building inspections staff shall assist the grant recipients in the preparation of the scope of work for the home improvements eligible for grant assistance under the program. Improvements that may be made using grant funds are energy and code - related items, general improvements or upgrades and deferred maintenance items. Items that must be repaired first are those items identified by an FHA appraiser. EDA RESOLUTION NO. The scope of work shall be approved by City building inspections staff. All work included in the rehabilitation grant shall be performed by a general contractor licensed by the State of Minnesota. The grant recipient must complete the improvements on the property in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of the rehabilitation grant. 3. CLOSING COST GRANTS Borrowers who qualify to receive a rehabilitation grant may also qualify for a closing cost grant of up to $1,500. This grant may be used towards payment of eligible closing costs. Eligible closing costs include credit reports, appraisal fees, origination fee, discount points, and recording fees. Ineligible costs include expenses such as insurance, taxes, escrows and other prepaid costs. Closing cost grants will be made available on a first -come, first - served basis. 4. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS First -time home buyers with qualified incomes who are purchasing absentee -owned properties located within the identified target area and who are receiving their mortgage from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency or another recognized financial institution will be eligible to participate in the program. A first -time home buyer is defined as someone who has not owned and occupied their primary and principal place of residence during the three (3) years prior to applying for this program, excluding mobile home ownership. The borrower must occupy the property as their primary and principal place of residence for a minimum period of five (5) years after closing. The borrower's annual adjusted household income cannot exceed the limits established by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency for participation in the Minnesota City Participation Program. Calculation of annual adjusted household income shall be calculated according to standards established by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency for the Minnesota City Participation Program. EDA RESOLUTION NO. 5. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION The program administrator for the rental to owner program shall be the City's community development specialist. Thompson Associates, Inc., shall serve as project coordinator for the rental to owner program and will assist and counsel program applicants with regard to their eligibility and participation in the rental to owner conversion program. Thompson Associates, Inc., shall provide additional program administrative assistance, including preparation of collateral material, landlord and tenant education regarding the program as per the terms of the contract between the City of Brooklyn Center and Thompson Associates, Inc. The City's community development director is hereby authorized to make minor administrative modifications to the rental to owner program, as long as the administrative modifications do not alter the intent of the program. Every effort will be made in administering the program to coordinate the rental to owner conversion program with other available housing and mortgage programs, including the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's Minnesota City Participation Program and Purchase Plus Program.

APPROVAL: yt Tom Ilu i litz, Com unity Developinent Specialist MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION: • No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached Yes City staff, along with the Brooklyn Center Chamber of Commerce, have been working on planning a Realtors Day event for this spring. The purpose of the event would be to familiarize local realtors with as many aspects of the City as possible for a one day event. The focus of the program will be local and the majority of the participants are either City staff or representatives from Brooklyn Center school district. The City and Chamber are also planning the program with assistance from the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. The Realtors Association has agreed to assist us with obtaining continuing education course credit for the program. By offerein CEUs we hope to attract a greater number of realtors and make it easier for them to justify spending the time to attend. Realtors Day is scheduled for Wednesday, May 5, 1993, and will be held at the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Originally, we had scheduled the event for March 31, 1993, but after talking with several realtors it was apparent that many realtors would be attending closings on that day and would not be able to attend. The first week of any month is generally a better time to schedule these types of events for realtors. We expect between 50 and 100 realtors to attend. Attached to this memorandum is a tentative agenda showing the speakers and topics for the program. . A fee of $6.00 is being requested from realtors, which includes lunch. RECOMMENDATION: No action is required on this item. The item is offered for information only.
