At the City Council Work Session in October of 1997, the Council directed staff to discuss with developers the possibilities of developing the subject site with adjacent lots and to wait for a private proposal prior to proceeding further on the sale of the lot. Staff has been working with several developers regarding the development of the subject site. Interested developers are currently working to acquire adjacent lots so that a proposal for the creation of a t new development with additional lots may be submitted to the City. At this time,no proposals have been provided to the City. Staff continues to receive numerous requests from individuals regarding the purchase of the lot for the development of a single family home. Therefore, staff thought an update and review regarding the subject property was necessary to provide continued direction for the marketing and sale of the subject lot. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED Provide staff direction for the following questions: 1) Should staff continue to market the lot to developers as a subdividable lot and wait for a private proposal prior to proceeding further on the sale of the lot. 2) Should staff market the lot for sale as a single family lot.

The goal of the program is to provide an interest subsidy to home improvement loans which would accommodate all homeowners within the city to improve the quality, livability and marketability of the city's housing stock. The EDC recently approved guidelines of the proposed program for recommendation to the EDA. The recommended program includes two separate components to ensure all homeowners within the city are accommodated. Under the proposed programs,TIF funds would be used el to subsidize loans for all homeowners within the city regardless of income status. The two components of the proposed program are as follows: 1. MHFA Home Improvement Loan Interest Subsidy Interest subsidies will be provided to existing Minnesota Housing Finance Agency(MHFA)home improvement loans with below market interest rates. Homeowners qualifying for MHFA loans would have loans subsidized to a 5%rate(maximum of a 3%subsidy). At the EDA meeting on April 27, 1998, the commission approved application to the MHFA for the"Community Fix-up Fund"as part of an overall Home Improvement Loan Program. The MHFA approved the city's application for the Community Fix-up Fund, which essentially increases the maximum household income limit from$49,000 to $69,900 for homes built prior to 1965. Qualifying home owners would include households with incomes of less than$69,900 and owning a home built before 1965. 2. Market Rate Home Improvement Interest Subsidy A subsidy of 3%would be provided to market rate loans (i.e. Market interest rates at 11%would be subsidized to 8%). Subsidized market rate loans would be provided to homeowners that would not otherwise qualify for MHFA loans. Once implemented, the guidelines of the program may be changed as necessary when conditions or demand dictate. However, due to the availability of TIF funds,the proposed program is a mechanism which would provide an incentive for homeowners to remodel or improve their homes and address some of the deteriorating housing conditions in the city. The proposed program would be administered by 40 participation lenders. EDA Memo-Housing Replacement Program July 23, 1998 Page 2 1111 DISCUSSION When considering the implementation of a Home Improvement Loan Interest Subsidy Program, the EDA should consider the availability of TIF funds. The city has allocated$130,000 for 1998 to be used for Housing Rehabilitation related programs. So far this year, $5,600 of the allocated TIF funds have been used. The EDA also recently approved the purchase of an HRP home located at 6991 Pleasant View Drive for$62,000. The program proposes to allocate a total of$75,000 for purposes of subsidizing interest rates for home improvement loans. Of which, $40,000 will be used to subsidize and administer MHFA loans(i.e. provide approximately 25 reduced rate loans at$10,000). The proposed program would also allocate$35,000 to subsidize and administer Market Rate loans (i.e. provide approximately 22 subsidized loans at$10,000). The end result would be approximately$470,000 of increased value to the city's housing stock. The following is a breakdown of allocated Housing Rehabilitation TIF funds for 1998 and 1999: Allocated TIF funds for 1998 - $130,000 Remodeling Planbook - (5,000) HRP Property Appraisal - (300) HRP Property Appraisal - (300) Total Available TIF Funds $124,400 Proposed Home Improvement Loan Program $75,000 Approved Purchase of HRP Property $62,500 $137,500 Allocated TIF funds for 1999 $40,000 The EDA may also consider phasing in the allocation of TIF funds over a period of two years. This would allow for the purchase of the approved HRP property and allocate the remaining funds for the proposed Home Improvement Loan Program for 1998. The remaining funds needed for the program may then be allocated in 1999. However, this may deplete the allocated TIF funds for 1999 and eliminate the opportunity to purchase additional HRP properties. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED Provide staff direction for implementation of the proposed Home Improvement Loan Interest Subsidy Program and set the proposed program on a future agenda for action or further discussion.

ATTEST: Chair (SEAL) C� S , G.�Q City Administrator i EXHIBIT B City of Mounds View Home Improvement Loan Interest Subsidy Program Program Overview Due to the age and condition of the city's housing stock, it is important to encourage reinvestment in the community to avoid blight and to upgrade the quality, livability and marketability of the housing stock. The goal of the program is to provide an interest subsidy to home improvement loans to accommodate all homeowners within the city as an incentive to improve the livability and quality of the city's housing. The program will include two separate components to accomplish the goal of accommodating all homeowners within the City: I. An MHFA Home Improvement Loan Interest Subsidy which will take advantage of (and further reduce the interest rate for) existing MHFA loan programs with below-market interest rates for qualifying low to moderate income households. II. A Market Rate Home Improvement Loan Interest Subsidy for all other qualifying homeowners within the city who would not otherwise qualify for MHFA home improvement loans. By providing both programs, every qualifying homeowner within the city will be provided an opportunity to receive an equal subsidy for home improvement loans. The following are the terms and guidelines for the both of the programs. I.

The program expects that subsidized loans will be originated for a period of at least two years. The City of Mounds View will provide funds in an account at participating lenders for the purpose of subsidizing qualifying home improvement loans. Loans provided by MHFA and originated by the lender will be subsidized in a lump sum payment from the city account(i.e. a$10,000 loan for a term of 10 years at 8% subsidized to a 5%rate will require a 3% lump sum interest payment of $1,587.20 by the city).

Please refer to his Memorandum(attached)for more information about the history of the Program and the rationale for reactivating and/or improving it. This matter was on the EDC agenda for May 28, 1998, but discussion of the topic had to be deferred to the following meeting due to time constraints. At the next EDC meeting on June 25, 1998, the EDC ipdiscussed the topic and unanimously adopted a revised version of the Resolution that had been originally proposed. Most of the changes were semantic in nature; for example, the EDC preferred to characterize this recent initiative as a modification of the Program rather than a reactivation of it. The primary substantive change is the proposed elimination of the current requirement that a business be located in Mounds View for at least two years before being eligible for the program. More information regarding the refinement of the EDC's Resolution can be gleaned from the minutes (attached)of the EDC's June 25th meeting. As stated in Mr. Carroll's Memorandum,the Business Improvement Partnership Loan Program has the potential to become of the most tangible manifestations of the City's commitment to improving the local business climate, and staff therefore recommends the action specified below. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED Approve EDA Resolution No. 98-EDA-96 modifying the Business Improvement Partnership Loan Program in certain respects. Rick Jopke(71v-4021) Community Development Director Attachments: Memorandum to EDC dated May 22, 1998 Minutes of EDC Meeting of June 25, 1998 Resolution No. 98-EDC-24 Proposed Resolution No. 98-EDA-96 NADATA\GROUPSTCONDEV\EDA-EDCEDA\07-27-98.WP2 To: Economic Development Commission Members From: Kevin Carroll, Economic Development Coordinator MEMORANDUM Subject Business Improvement Partnership Loan Program • Date: May 22, 1998 INTRODUCTION Given the Iimited number(and the relatively small size) of parcels in Mounds View that are available for new commercial or industrial development, it is important that sufficient attention be devoted to making certain that we retain existing businesses mad help them to expand or improve their operations. I believe that the`Business Improvement Partnership Loan Program"(hereinafter"the Program") that was started in 1995 was an important step in that direction. However, it appears that the Program has been largely inactive for over a year and a half, for reasons that presumably include limited public awareness of the Program, financial constraints, staff turnovers, and/or new or different EDC/EDA/City Council priorities. Rather than continuing to leave the Program"in limbo," it seems appropriate to determine whether the Program should be reactivated or officially discontinued. If it is to be reactivated,thought should be given to whether any 41) changes should be made in the structure or eligibility requirements of the Program. This Memo has been prepared to provide some historical perspective, and to outline a proposed course of action for the EDC's consideration. HISTORY/CHRONOLOGY February 13, 1995: Resolution No. 95-EDA-23 adopted : "Resolution Supporting the Pursuit of a Small Business Loan Program for Mounds View Businesses." (After this date, the following presumably occurred: drafting and approval of generic "Participation Agreement"; drafting and approval of"Application for Business Loan Program"form; preparation of informational trifold brochure; preparation of one page "Low Interest Loans" flyer.) May 25, 1995: Resolution No. 95-EDC-9 adopted: "Resolution Recommending Amounts to Fund the Business Loan Program for 1995 and 1996." [$100,000 for 1995 and $300,000 for 1996] May 25, 1995: Resolution No. 95-EDC-10 adopted: "Resolution Recommending • Approval of Small Business Loan for Dynex Industries." [Applicant requested ■ • maximum loan of$50,000.00 to supplement an SBA 504 Loan of$1, 013,000...$25,000 from MV EDA at 2% and $25,000 from North Star Bank at 9 5/8% for 5 years, then adjusted annually to prime rate at that time....monthly payments of$238.81 and$310.00, respectively, from 10-1-85 to 9-1-2005.] June 5, 1995: Resolution No. 95-EDA-28 adopted: "Resolution Approving Business Loan for Dynex Industries." [Both loans are current in all respects, per telephone conversation with Jeff Neisen at North Star Bank on May 6, 1998.] September 28, 1995: Resolution No. 95-EDC-11 adopted: "Resolution Recommending Approval of Small Business Loan to Forcia Inc." [d/b/a Mister Donut...Iater, "Donut Connection"....applicant requested maximum loan of$50,000.00 $25,000 from MV EDA at 2% and$25,000 from Western Bank at 11.25 floating interest rate for 5 years...monthly payments of approximately$548.64 and$438.50; respectively, from 11/12/95 to 10/12/2000.] September 28, 1995: Resolution No. 95-EDC-12 adopted: "Resolution Approving the Establishment of a Loan Committee." October 9, 1995: Resolution No. 95-EDA-32 adopted: "Resolution Approving Business Improvement Loan for Forcia, Inc." [Both loans are current in all respects, per telephone • conversation with Cindy Carlson of Western Bank on May 7, 1998; contact loan supervisor Beth Munroe at 290-8136 for more information.] January 23, 1996: Apparent date of informational letter to Iocal businesses regarding the Business Improvement Partnership loan program. August 12, 1996: Resolution No. 96-EDC-15 adopted: "Resolution Recommending Approval of a Business Improvement Partnership Loan to Mounds View FINA." [Applicant requested maximum loan of$50,000.00....$25,000 from MV EDA at 2%and$25,000.00 from Western State Bank of St. Paul at 11% fixed for 10 years... monthly payments of$230.36 and $346.63, respectively, 9/21/96 through 8/21/2006.] August 12, 1996: Resolution 96-EDA-50 adopted: "Resolution Approving Business Improvement Partnership Loan for Mounds View FINA." [Both loans are current in all respects, per telephone conversation with Cindy Carlson of Western Bank on May 7, 1998; contact loan supervisor Beth Munroe at 290-8136 for more information.] (It is possible that another mailing to local businesses may have occurred between August 12, 1996 and the present, but I have not yet been able to verify that fact, or the actual date of any such mailing.) 110 ■ ISSUES/ANALYSIS 1. Should the Business Improvement Partnership Program be "reactivated"? Recommendation: Yes. Rationale: The three loans that have been made under the Program thus far seem to have been complete successes. If there are funds available, we should build on those successes by making additional loans. The Program is, or could be, one of the most visible manifestations of the City's commitment to improving the local business climate. If handled properly, the Program could engender good will and generate favorable publicity for the businesses that we assist a ad for the City itself 2. How much money is available for the Program? Answer: The 1998 Budget allocates $45,000.00 for`Business improvement partnership loans,"none of which has apparently been loaned, to date. This is 45%of the amount($100,000) that was budgeted or approved for the first year of the Program, but I have been told that funds that might otherwise be available for the Program are now being devoted to the Community Center. 3. To what extent should the Program be marketed or publicized? • Suggestion: The Program should first be specifically targeted to conforming businesses that are located in buildings that are structurally sound, but that are unattractive, inefficient, outdated,or in need of improvement or renovation for other valid reasons. If loan funds then remain, press releases to the local media and/or feature stories in local publications should be used to publicize the Program in the least expensive manner. An effort should be made to avoid generating more interest than the City has the financial means to accommodate, in order to minimize ill will and/or claims of favoritism with respect to those who d4 receive loans. Reason: City money should not be used to improve non-conforming uses that the City may eventually want to eliminate or relocate,nor should City money be used for"patchwork"on structures that are in fundamentally poor condition. Ideally, loan funds would be used in a manner that would (literally)produce visible results,thereby improving not only the business in question but also the overall appearance of the City's business district. 4. What changes, if any, should be made in the Program? Suggestion: Eliminate the requirement that a business be in operation in Mounds View for two years before becoming eligible for the Program. Longevity could, however, be considered as a factor if the total loan proceeds requested by all I applicants exceeded available funds. Reason: The two year eligibility requirement was presumably imposed due to concerns about assisting a business that might be "here today and gone tomorrow." However, given the fact that loan proceeds will generally be used for interior and exterior structural and cosmetic improvements that will "stay" in the City, the City will benefit from any such improvements even if other businesses eventually occupy the "improved" business sites. Even if the two year requirement is eliminated, a request from a longstanding member of the local business community should be entitled to priority over a relative "newcomer,"all other things being equal. CONCLUSION The EDC should adopt a Resolution recommending the immediate reactivation of the Business Improvement Partnership Loan Program. Given the length Program was active, a Resolution would enable the EDof reaffirm itsd s commitment teoto the Program, and provide a formal action that could be publicized in order to generate new interest in the Program. At the meeting on May 28th, the EDC's input and guidance will be 1111 sought with respect to the specific businesses that staff should target for the Program, with the understanding that special emphasis will be being given to proposed improvements that would enhance the visual aesthetics of the commercial, industrial and retail sectors of the community. • ■ tLM .s.;, v� ,- kg' • ,,,...-..:-) iltt ?-; 41 ,,....._:_,-,--) WH---1- CO-] , ,i .....1..._..•% nr 411111171111Th= tt • ,ter lfit-4-: . © MI a. e aa trt ri-A.

Discussion of Home Improvement Loan Subsidy Program. EDC members reviewed and discussed Housing Inspector Dorgan's proposed final drafts of the guidelines for the two interest subsidy programs. It was noted that although both programs refer to a maximum loan amount, neither program refers to a minimum loan amount. Staff was directed to insert a reference to the fact that the minimum loan amount would be $3000.00 for each of the two programs. Chair Carlson had some additional minor changes of a "housekeeping" nature that she discussed with Mr. Dorgan prior to the meeting. With respect to the proposed Resolution, it was suggested that additional language be inserted to emphasize the fact that there are TWO,separate loan subsidy programs, and to explain the rationale or need for two such programs, and to clarify the distinctions between them. That additional explanatory language could also be added to the "Program Overview" for each program. • NADATA\GRO UPSTCONDEVIEDA-EDC\EMEDCMM98\EDCMM06.98 Motion/Second: Schmidt/Field to approve Resolution No. 98-EDC-25, with the understanding that staff will amend the Resolution in a manner consistent with the EDC's discussion of desired revisions. • Motion Carried 4 Ayes 0 Nays B. Consideration of Business Improvement Partnership Loan Program EDC members reviewed and discussed Economic Development Coordinator Carroll's Memo and additional background information. It was suggested that a Resolution "reactivating" the loan program may not be required, but that a Resolution modifying the program in certain respects might be appropriate. It was decided that paragraph "a" on page two of the Resolution would be revised to delete the "reactivation" language, and to insert language regarding the elimination of the two year "residency requirement" that was one of the original eligibility criteria. It was further agreed that paragraph "b" of the proposed Resolution would be revised to eliminate references to the 1998 funding amount. New language will be inserted, emphasizing the fact that in order to ensure and/or increase participation in the Program, loans will be reviewed and approved in a manner consistent with staff guidelines regarding matters such as confidentiality of applicants' financial information, intended use of loan proceeds, etc. The caption of the Resolution will also be changed to "Resolution Modifying The Business Improvement Partnership Loan Program", and the eighth "Whereas" clause will be deleted, and the two subsequent clauses will be changed to refer to "the continued availability" of low interest loan funds and the "continuation of the business loan program." II Motion/Second: Sjoberg/Schmidt to approve Resolution No. 98-EDC-24,with the understanding that staff will amend the Resolution in a manner consistent with the EDC's discussion of desired revisions.

The EDA indicated that it wanted the EDC to review the applications and make a recommendation to the EDA regarding the most suitable candidates. Accordingly,the EDC arranged to personally interview all five of the candidates on the evening of Monday,July 20, 1998. At the conclusion of the interviews,the EDC members discussed the candidates and decided to recommend Sean Walther for the remainder of Steven Larson's term and Wendy Marty for the remainder of Dan Nelson's term, with William Laube designated as an alternate in the event that Mr. Walther or Ms. Marty decides not to accept the position(Mr. Walther is also being considered for the current opening on the Planning Commission, and has indicated that the Planning Commission would be his first choice).
