The motion passed unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARING The City Manager indicated staff recently had discussions with representatives of Thermasare Building Products, Inc., to purchase the EDA owned single family lot located at 6730 Perry Avenue North and construct a new, single family home on the property. The prujcct was undertaken under the Slum and Blight Clearance provisions of the Community Block Grant Develo mcnt CDBG ) , The EDA purchased this home and relocated the p � owner to another home in Brooklyn Center. Staff received several inquiries on the ads placed to sell this property, but no offers were received. 1/13/92 - 1 The Assistant EDA Coordinator reported that staff had been talking with Thermasave Building Products, Inc. who uses an innovative structural insulated panel building system to construct homes. He recommended the sale of this lot for $1,000, a $7,500 reduction from the fair market value of the lot which was established at $19,500. The EDA must pay $19,500 to the CDBG program; however, the EDA would only owe the actual purchase price of $12,000 if the new house was sold to a low and moderate, income, person. The EDA must also enter into an agreement with Hennepin County to assure that the house would be sold to a low and moderate income person within one year from the date of closing. In response to Commissioner Cohen's question, the Assistant EDA Coordinator responded that the average value of homes in the neighborhood were in the Iow to mid $517,000, The house being proposed by Thermasave, with the lot, would be approximately $75,000, Commissioner Cohen pointed out that the new house would have a higher value even with the write -down, The City Manager noted the change in roof design to include a pitched roof. Chuck Stevens, Thermasave Building Products, Inc., provided a brief report on their company, construction materials and insulation value. They use pre - manufactured panels for basement construction which carry a ten year warranty. In responding to questions posed by Commissioner Rosene, Mr. Stevens explained this would be their first house in Minnesota. Once footings were installed, it would take their non -union crew (of three to four peoplc) three or four days to erect the house plus another ten days to finish the interior (which was usually sheetrocked and taped). Mr. Stevens reported that the panels do not give off any harmful gasses or toxic vapors. He explained that they use windows with breathers since the panels were air tight. Thermasave has been in business since 1980, but has just incorporated in Minnesota this year (as a licensed franchise). They currently have homes in Alaska, Washington, Japan, Panama, Kuwait and Texas. The square footage for the upstairs of the proposed house was 1,296 p lus a full basement. Commissioner Rosene asked what type of homeowners guarantee was provided by Thermasave. Mr. Stevens explained they do not currently provide one, but would be,; willing to consider a guarantee program similar to Nome Owners Warranty (HOW) which was the standard in the industry, The Assistant EDA Coordinator pointed out that the EDA would be only selling the lot below value and requiring that the final product he sold to a low and modcruic income person. The proposed product meets Building Code standards as well as those set by FHA and VA for financing. It was not proposed that the EDA become "partners" with Thermasave but rather to make it possible for them to purchase the property. Commissioner Roscne expressed an interest in watching the construction of this house. Mr. Stevens indicated he would keep the City informed of the building schedule. They would be videotaping the building process and plan to have an open house once it was completed. 1/13/92 2 i With regard to certification, the Director of Planning and Inspection indicated the proposed building , uatcrials meet certification of the Building Code. President Pro tem Pedlar opened the meeting for the public hearing regarding the sale of land at 6730 perry Avenue North by the Economic Development Authority for the City of Brooklyn Center at 11:53 p.m. He inquired if there was anyone present who wished to address the Authority. No one appeared to speak and he entertained a motion to close the public hearing. I There was a motion by Commissioner Scott and seconded by Commissioner Rosene closing the public hearing at 11:53 p.m. The motion passed unanimously, RESOLUTIONS RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND CONTRACT FOR D1--hQ FOR THE SALE OF THE EDA OWNED PROPE AT 6730 PERRY AVENUE NORTH IN BRO K LY CENTER The Ciro Manager pros onted a Resolution Authorizing Execution of Purchase Agreement and Contract for Decd for the Sale of the EDA Owned Property at 6730 Perry Avenue North in Brooklyn Center. Consensus was reached that the date of closing would be set for January 21, 1992, and that Thermasave Building Products, Inc. would be required to provide a guarantee program similar to HOW. RESOLU NO. 92 -01 Commissioner Cohcen introduced the following resulutiun and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND CONTRAf,.'T FOR DEED FOR THE SALE OF THE EDA OWNED PROPERTY AT 6730 PERRY AVENUE NORTH IN BROOKLYN CENTER The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Coin mis,ivnPT R=ne. The motion passed unanimously. President Paulson returned at 11:55 p.m. and chaired the remainder of the meeting. The EDA agreed to consider Item 5b at this time since Mr. Schatzlein was present for discussion, 1/13/92 -3- 3 DISCUSS ITEM- UPDATE ON SIN 0 SINGLE- AMILY HOMEOWNERS ASSO IATION AND REMODELIN IREDESI rN PROGRAM The Assistant EDA Coordinator explaincd that staff had met with Bill Schatzlein to discuss a concept for two housing related programs to be pursued by his nonprofit housing corporation. One of the projects proposed was a Home Redesign and Remodeling Program, the intent of which was to develop several prototype designs for remodeling and redesign of three to four home types typically found in Brooklyn Center. This type of project was recommended by the City's Housing Implementation Plan and would provide some practical, realistic remodeling guidelines for people in older homes who may be interested in remodeling but have no idea where to begin. It was noted that Mr. Schatzlein was also working with the City of Richfield on a similar homy- redesign demonstration program and would be holding a remodeling fair which was sponsored by the Marketing Committee of the Richfield Visions 2005 Committee. Mr. Schatzlein provided a description of his nonprofit housing corporation and explained that it could be offered as part of the adult education program. They attempt to make remodeling more "user friendly" by offering ideas and providing photographs of other homes in the community that have already been remodeled. Suggestions on working with a contractor and architect were also offered along with an indication of what City permits and approvals were required. The City Manager indicated he felt t thts type of program would fit in well in Brooklyn Center. He suggested a housing fair be considered in conjunction with events already scheduled at the Heritage Center. The Assistant EDA Coordinator commented that he does not feel this program would be operated completely from foundation funding, and that the Council may want to address whether it would be appropriate to look at local resources to provide a portion of the needed funding. He suggested the EDA authorize Mr. Schatzlein to seek funding from local banks for the two demonstration programs and to enlist the assistance of the appropriate elected officials and staff members in this effort. There was a motion by Commissioner Scott and seconded by Commissioner Rosene to authorize Mr, Schatzlein to seek funding from local banks for two demonstration programs and direct staff to provide assistance as needed. The motion passed unanimously. MEETING TO CONSIDER THE PROMOTION OFTHE EARLE BROWN HERITAGE C;EN ER O JANUA 20, 1992 The EDA Coordinator reported that he was scheduling a strategy /planning session at the Inn to discuss and generate ideas for promoting the facility. He invited the Council to send several members to be part of this discussion. _ 1/13/92 _ 4 Commissioner Pedlar stated he felt this meeting would provide an opportunity for the Council to provicic input on their ideas on future direction, advertisement funding, etc. Commissioner Cohen expressed concern if only several Council members attend the meeting and express tllcir views, which may not be the views of the entire Council. He suggested the entire EDA become involved so a consensus of the group would be known, The EDA Coordinator explained that he does not plan to request formal action on any issue. The pulposc of the meeting was to gather input. He hopes to keep the gathering fairly small to encourage more participation. Commissioner Cohen stated he was still concerned with one individual offering thoughts that have slut been discussed as a whole. Consensus was reached that President Paulson and Commissioner Rosene would attend the January 20, 1992 meeting; to consider the promotion of the Earle Brown Heritage Center.

APPROVAL: Brad Hoffman, EDA Coordinal6ir MANAGER'S REVIEW/RECONBIENDATION: ; =- No comments to supplement this report Comments below /attached ******************************************************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** SUMMARY EXPLANATION: (supplemental sheets attached ) I recently received a request from Gary Kirt, President of Bell Mortgage, for assistance with the cost of additional tenant improvement work in the "D" Barn. Mr. Kirt was contemplating some form of shared cost with his proposed project. The EDA completed all of the tenant improvements as speced and approved by Mr. Kirt. the offices in the building were constructed to be open to the roof for aesthetic reasons. However, since moving into the office, it has become apparent to them that the noise transferred from one office to another is a problem. What I have proposed to Mr. Kirt and am recommending to you is that the EDA take on the entire expense of this project which I have costed out at $8,600; in return, Bell Mortgage signs a one -year extension on their lease. The value of that lease with adjustments will be in excess of $60,000. I am suggesting an extension to a sixth year at the fifth year rate which is still adjusted by the C.P.I. In essence, an $8,600 expenditure now will give the EDA the equivalent of an annual rate of return of approximately 48 percent. This is an excellent deal for the EDA. Bell Mortgage has been an excellent tenant. At the end of the current lease, plus the extension, if approved, we would want to get them to execute another lease. Another way to look at this deal is the cost per square foot paid by the EDA in tenant improvements for the original lease. Our original cost was approximately $6.75 per square foot per year compared to $2.15. I will be available Monday to discuss this matter. RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION Authorize the EDA Coordinator to execute a lease extension with Bell Mortgage and authorize the expenditure of $8,600 for tenant improvements. (mot/ (RESHRCTR) Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: EDA RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A PROJECT IN THE EARLE BROWN T.I.F. DISTRICT FUND FOR TENANT IMPROVEMENTS AT THE EARLE BROWN HERITAGE CENTER ----------------------------------------------------------- WHEREAS, the Earle Brown Tax Increment District was created in 1985 to finance the restoration of the Earle Brown Heritage Center; and WHEREAS, the opportunity now exists to extend the lease of an existing office space tenant in the D -Barn at the Heritage Center; and WHEREAS, certain tenant improvements are needed to make this space suitable and attractive for the tenant to continue to rent; and WHEREAS, the overall package represents an attractive rate of return on investment for the E.D.A. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, as follows: 1. The proposed tenant improvements at the Earle Brown Heritage Center in the amount of $8,600 are approved. 2. All costs of the improvement shall be charged to the Earle Brown Tax Increment District. 3. The improvement shall be added to the contributed capital of the Earle Brown Heritage Center.

You will find our interpretation below. If Mr. Goldsmith disagrees with us, please have him put his concerns in writing and we will address them. Even if his income eligibility can be established, we still have concerns about the property ownership issue which will have to be resolved. Please call me with the legal description and the Certificate number of the property so that I can take a look at the title and see if it is any more settled than it was when you looked. 1989 Return 50% of Partnership income, Form 1120S line 21 $(1,025.00) Add back 50% Depreciation, Form 4562 line 19 $ 2,716.00 Net Profit $ 1,691.00 Salary, Form 1040, line 7 $12,500.00 Interest income, Form 1040 line 8a $ 2,519.00 1990 50% of Partnership income, Form 11205 line 21 $ 7,710.00 Add back 50% Depreciation, Form 4562 line 20 $ 3,852.00 Net Profit $11,562.00 Salary, Form 1040, line 7 $13,500.00 Interest income, Form 1040 line 8a $ 2,269.00 Total income 1989 and 1990: $44,041.00 Average income: $22,021.00 rrw ti From the information available, 'itr ears that Mr. Goldsmith loaned $5,000.00 of the $7,710.00 back to the corporation since only $2,710.00 is shown as income on line 19 of Form 1040. However, it is our contention that opting to loan the money is the same as investing or saving it and consequently it must be regarded as disposable income. HENNEPIN COUNTY an equal opportunity employer r-1 r) N O V ° 6 1991 Dale Ruedy Page 2 Metro HRA Mears Park Center Building 230 East 5th Street St. Paul MN 55101 One other factor to be considered is that Mr. Goldsmith listed a second deduction on his 1990 Form 1040. Presumably this was his son Jacob S., listed on the 1989 Form 1040 as his child but not his dependent (in 1990 it appears Jacob is listed as a dependent). It might be that Mr. Goldsmith.and Jacob's mother take turns in claiming him as a dependent for tax purposes. Under our current guidelines, any c-b .ld sqpport paym ma de by M r. Goldsmi can be discou against his income. You will need some kind of formal verification of the amount of the payment made by Mr. Goldsmith; either a copy of the divorce decree /court order or a statement from the boy's mother confirming the amount paid each month.
