indicated the purchase amount is $500,000 with a closing date scheduled to occur in 2013 after
the developer has been issued approval from the InterContinental Hotels Group, received
necessary approvals from the EDA and City Council, received a building permit, and has
provided the City with its financial commitment. Mr. Eitel described the involved process to
consider this project that included a ten-year tax abatement plan similar to the tax abatement for
Phase II. Staff recommended a replat/land division to separate portions of the lot occupied by
the pond and trail and that the EDA maintain ownership of those areas so it is able to maintain
the trails and ponds.
The EDA noted it had discussed the Letter of Intent terms during the Study Session, would
receive the complete development agreement for review, and indicated it supported the proposal.
The EDA agreed with staffs recommendation to keep ownership of the trail and pond to assure
it is maintained as it is an asset to this area.
Mr. Eitel indicated the sale of this property will provide sufficient financing to install a fountain
and if the EDA supports that option, staff will analyze types of fountains and provide a future
recommendation.

EDA TEM M A MORANDUM
DATE: June 10, 2013
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Gary Eitel, Business and Development Director (-4C
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the Acquisition of Multiple Properties in Connection with
the Remove and Rebuild Program
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Economic Development Authority consider approval/adoption of
Resolutions Authorizing the Acquisition of Multiple Properties in Connection with the Remove
and Rebuild Program (4812 71st Ave N, 5338 Logan Ave N, 5459 Brooklyn Blvd, 5801 Ewing
Ave N, 6007 Brooklyn Blvd, and 7216 Brooklyn Blvd, 5905 Camden Ave N).
Background:
The Remove and Rebuild program has been established to remove blighted properties within the
City of Brooklyn Center. Greater Minnesota Housing Corporation has acquired and demolished
certain property at the request of the Economic Development Director. The attached resolutions
are to approve the purchase of the properties from GMHC. There are seven properties that the
city would be purchasing from GMHC. Of those seven properties, six have been demolished.
5905 Camden was recently acquired through a donation and GMHC is in the process of
demolishing the property. The purchase price has not yet been determined; however the price
will directly reflect the cost associated with the property acquisition and demolition.
On January 12, 2009, the EDA adopted Resolution No. 2009-02, A Resolution Establishing
Housing Programs and Approving the Use of Funds from Tax Increment District No. 3 Housing
Account, which authorized the Remove and Rebuild Program.
On October 26, 2009, the EDA adopted Resolution No. 2009-17, A Resolution Authorizing Staff
to Acquire Certain Foreclosed Homes within the City and to Execute All Instruments and
Contracts Relating Thereto.
The EDA's guidelines for acquisition of foreclosed properties include the following:
O Properties must be registered as vacant.
O Properties would be purchased either with TIF funds or federal Neighborhood
Stabilization Program (NSP) funds.
O The property would be determined to be blighted as defined by the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency in its application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) for NSP funding.
O The purchase price could not be more than 65 percent of Hennepin County's latest
Estimated Market Value for the property and could not exceed $80,000.
O Prior to the acquisition of property, staff would conduct a due diligence investigation to
protect the EDA's interest with regard to purchase of the property.

All properties are foreclosed, bank negotiated. 5905 Camden Ave N is a donation property
acquired through Building & Community Standards. The other properties were acquired by
Business & Development before the responsibility for Housing/HRA was shifted to Building &
Community Standards.
An unexplainable error occurred with the City's authorization to GMHC to proceed with the
acquisition of 5459 Brooklyn Boulevard (a foreclosed property adjoining the Northport
Elementary School), that resulted in their acquisition of a property that exceeded the $80,000
policy threshold. Administrative steps are being taken to ensure that future negotiations are
