6. EDC BUSINESS
A. Review and Update on Mounds View's efforts to name or rename County Highway/Road 10
Ms. Steinmetz summarized her 22 -page staff report that provided a summary of the City's
effort five years ago to add a name to County Road 10 as it passes through Mounds View.
She stated that the effort was a collaborate effort between the Cities of Mounds View, Blaine
and Spring Lake Park and Anoka and Ramsey Counties.
She said the reason this item is on today's EDC agenda is because in February 2010 the
EDC discussed forming a citizen board to address this issue, however staff does not
recommend forming a new committee because staff believes the results would remain the
same (i.e. no results). Staff suggested that the EDC recommend a new name to the City
Draft EDC Minutes

Council for the portion of County Road 10 that passes through Mounds View (not the
portions that pass through Spring Lake Park and Blaine).
The EDC discussed the importance of surveying and/or communicating with the Mounds
View businesses located along County Road 10 throughout the potential process of adding
a name to County Road 10. They also discussed that the majority of Blaine and Spring Lake
Park's businesses are located along State Highway 65; therefore, Mounds View has the
biggest stake in this potential process. Finally, the EDC discussed the signage costs, which
signs the City would be responsible to have updated, and that the City needs an updated
inventory of all of the signs that indicate the current name.
Commissioner Larson mentioned that the State of Minnesota has not updated all of the
County Road 10 signs to differentiate them from the State Highway 10 signs and that the
City should approach the State about that. He also said that the City should approach
Spring Lake Park and Blaine to see if they are willing to share the cost to update all of the
County Road 10 signs and if so, perhaps all three cities could agree upon a generic name.
Motion/Second: Commissioner Belting moved and Commissioner Helgemoe seconded a
recommendation that the Council fund signage updates in the 2011 budget (and explore
using Tax Increment Financing as a funding option) to accommodate a new name for
County Hwy/Rd 10 as it passes through Mounds View.
Motion Carried: 6 Ayes 0 Nays
Motion/Second: Commissioner Helgemoe moved and Vice Chair Wagner-Harkonen
seconded a recommendation that "Mounds View Boulevard" be considered as the additional
name for County Highway/Road 10.
Motion Carried: 6 Ayes 0 Nays
7. REPORTS OF COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Johnson announced the April 23rd and May 3'd fundraisers for Irondale High
School seniors' all night party. She also mentioned that Irondale Football is currently doing a
driveway stencil fundraiser.
Commissioner Helgemoe announced the Twin Cities North Chamber Spring golf tournament
for Tuesday, June 6"'.
Chair Meehlhause mentioned that the Irondale Girls Hockey team finished fourth in the State
of Minnesota this past season.
8. REPORTS OF STAFF
A. Recap of March 29th Town Hall Meeting
Ms. Steinmetz reported that double the amount of residents attended the town hall meeting
this year compared to last year. The Mayor presented the Citizen of the Year and the Coach
of the Year awards during the town hall meeting. Citizens asked questions and voiced
concerns at the meeting but there were no glaring concerns. Community Development
Director asked the EDC if they thought the success of the meeting was due to this year's
change of holding the meeting during the week rather than on a Saturday. Several EDC
members agreed that the meeting's success was due to the weekday meeting date.

B. Recap of April 14th TCAAP Meeting
Ms. Steinmetz explained that this meeting was a multi -jurisdictional meeting where the City
of Arden Hills provides a history and update on the project. The Federal government will be
donating some of the land to Ramsey County for a regional park.
Commissioner Belting left the meeting at this time (8:43am).
C. Update on available business sites in Mounds View
Ms. Steinmetz said that the City monitors and posts Mounds View's available business sites
on the City's Website and that she plans to update the EDC monthly on the information.
During this meeting, she summarized the buildings currently for sale in Mounds View.
D. Twin Cities North Chamber Economic Development Summit is April 21st
E. Twin Cities North Chamber relocating to New Brighton by May 1st
F. Overview of Coventry Senior Living concept
Ms. Steinmetz provided an overview of a potential new senior housing project on County
Road 10 between Woodale Drive and County Road H in Mounds View. The Coventry
project is not to be confused with the Select Senior Living project. Select Senior Living is a
similar project that may be constructed at County Road 10 and Groveland Road. There was
a neighborhood meeting about the Coventry project and Community Development Director
Ken Roberts reported that the neighbors voiced concern over the access to the building and
the developer has since changed the site plan to eliminate access to the building from
neighborhood streets.
G. Mounds View Clean Up Day is Saturday, May 22nd
Other — Street Project Area BIC Update
Community Development Director Ken Roberts added this item to the agenda. He said that
the bids for this project came in about $400,000 lower than the engineer's estimate, which is
a good savings for the City. Over 100 people attended a recent neighborhood meeting at
City Hall to receive an update about the project. The project will begin in mid-May,

From: Heidi Steinmetz, Economic Development Specialist
Item Title/Subject: Review Housing Rehabilitation Programs
Introduction
On June 21, 2010, staff received an application from the property owner of a single-family
home located at 7968 Edgewood Drive in Mounds View. Mr. Nollet asked the EDA to
acquire the property through the EDA's Housing Replacement Program. Mr. Nollet's
application prompted City staff to request that the City Council discuss refocusing the
Housing Replacement Program because the EDA has not supported the program in recent
years (the EDA has denied the last three acquisition requests). These actions are
consistent with the EDA's decision in 2007 to refocus the program towards demolition
rather than acquisition.
The City Council discussed the EDA's Housing Replacement Program at the July 6, 2010
Work Session and again at the July 12, 2010 EDA meeting. Attached are the staff reports
from those meetings. On July 6th, the City Council discussed completely eliminating the
acquisition portion of the EDA's Housing Replacement Program. On July 12th, the EDA
denied the Housing Replacement Program application to acquire 7968 Edgewood Drive.
The next step in the EDA/City Council's discussion of housing programs is for City staff to
provide them with several options of housing rehabilitation programs that are not currently
available to Mounds View residents. Staff is going to meet with Housing Resource Center
staff later this month to discuss ways to structure a Mounds View housing program that
would fill more of the needs for Mounds View residents while not repeating an existing
program. In the meantime, staff is asking that the EDC discuss and provide feedback on
the City Council's recent housing program discussions.
Background
The last time the EDC discussed Mounds View housing issues was in March April, May
and December of 2008. Below are excerpts from each set of meeting minutes:
March 21 200 EDC Meeting Minutes Excerpt
The Housing Replacement Program is a City program administered offsite through the
Housing Resource Center. The program offers a forgivable loan to be paid back within 10
years. The purpose of the program is to assist people who want to replace blighted
homes. Staff would like the EDC's input regarding whether or not the City and the Housing
Resource Center is meeting the needs of the community. This issue has come to light
because of the foreclosure crisis. Chair Helgemoe asked how many foreclosures are in
July 16, 2010 EDC Meeting
Item 6A — Housing Programs
Page 2 of 5
Mounds View and what percentage of Mounds View housing stock is in foreclosure. Ms.
Steinmetz said there are about fifty foreclosures but she didn't know the percentage.
Commissioner Belting asked if the City is getting reimbursed forthe City services that result
from the foreclosures. Ms. Steinmetz said that this is a discussion point among cities and
each city is recouping the costs differently. He asked if the fees should be raised or if there
should be a "foreclosure fee?"
Ms. Steinmetz said there are two separate issues to discuss "Does the City want to expand
its housing program?" and there is also the foreclosure issue. The foreclosure issue
spawned from a more global issue of making sure Mounds View housing stock does not
deteriorate.
Commissioner Larson said that (as a resident) the City should get involved to make sure
the housing stock doesn't deteriorate further. As far as foreclosures, he suggested that
City officials approach residents who live next door to foreclosures because in most case,
they'd be willing to help because foreclosures affect property values. Chair Helgemoe
agreed because it would protect the City's tax base and property values.
April 18 2008 EDC Meeting Minutes Excerpt
The EDC that the City's Housing Replacement Program provides demolition assistance
paid for through Tax Increment Financing. The program offers a 10 -year
forgivable/deferred loan, which is administered through the Housing Resource Center.
The program is the only housing related program that the City itself offers to Mounds View
residents; however residents can access other Housing Resource Center programs, such
as low-interest loans to conduct home improvement projects.
She summarized last month's EDC discussion regarding the housing market, foreclosures
and how important it is to maintain property values.
Ms. Steinmetz asked the EDC if the City should expand its housing services or continue to
refer people to the Housing Resource Center.
Chair Helgemoe asked if the City is charged a fee for the Housing Resource Center's
administrative services. Ms. Steinmetz said she'll check on that for the next meeting.
Commissioner Johnson mentioned that since there are income limits to utilize home
improvement programs, perhaps the programs are a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Commissioner Entsminger stated that she doesn't think the City should get involved with
providing additional home improvement loans for a variety of reasons such as "What if the
homeowner goes into default?" because the City would be taking a risk, etc.
The consensus of the Commission was for staff to discuss this issue with housing
organizations that offer these programs in order to make sure the City is reaching the
population that may be underserved by typical housing programs.
July 16, 2010 EDC Meeting
Item 6A—Housing Programs
Page 3 of 5
Ms. Steinmetz mentioned that the City's Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector is also a
good resource for those who need housing advice.
May 16 2008 EDC Meeting Minutes Excerpt
Ms. Steinmetz displayed the City's "Housing Resources" Webpage on the screen and
summarized the types of outreach being completed through the Website and the City
newsletter, Mounds View Matters. Commissioner Larson asked if we could more
prominently display the Housing Replacement Program on the Website.
Chair Helgemoe urged residents to contact their lender immediately if they are having
trouble making their house payments.
December 12 2008 EDC Meeting Minutes Excerpt
Ms. Steinmetz said that the EDA discussed this item on December 8, 2008. She reported
that the EDA had received an application for the EDA's Housing Replacement Program,
which is a program that offers applicants two options: demolition assistance or acquisition
assistance. She stated that the current applicant asked the EDA to purchase their home
but since the home was not included on the EDA's list of eligible properties, the EDA had
to consider whether to add the home to the list. Ms. Steinmetz said that the EDA decided
to reconsider updating the list in Summer/Fall 2009 and denied the Housing Replacement
Program application.
Commissioner Johnson stated that she thinks it is odd that the EDA is required to have this
list because it sets an odd tone for homeowners. She added that she understands that all
of the homes on the list are not necessarily blighted. She asked why not simply add all
Mounds View homes to the list.
Community Development Director Ken Roberts stated that he thinks the State Auditor
requires the City to keep a set list so that the list is not arbitrary because the City needs to
have given the properties on the list some thought.
Commissioner Wagner said that many of the homes on the list seem to be located in areas
slated for redevelopment and that homeowners located on County Road 10 may not want
to remodel because of their location on County Road 10.
Commissioner Johnson asked why the list is not updated every year. Mr. Roberts
responded that each time the list is updated; the City must go through a legal process,
which is not cost effective for the City to do every year. He added that it seems as if the
EDA's consensus on December 8th was that the list should be updated every four to five
years and that it is better to update the list during the summer and fall months when the
condition of the City's properties is fresh in the mind of the City's housing/code
enforcement officer.

Housing Replacement Program Review
Background
About the Program
The Mounds View Economic Development Authority (EDA) created the Housing
Replacement Program in May of 1996 (14 years ago). The program allows the EDA to
provide Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance to homeowners or developers for
demolition or acquisition assistance through the program. The intent of the program is to
replace blighted homes with new homes that increase and maximize the value of the
individual property and increase the value of the surrounding neighborhood. The program
is a traditional neighborhood revitalization program.
The financial assistance provided by the EDA through the Housing Replacement Program
is a ten-year/forgivable deferred loan. In other words, if the homeowner or developer owns
the property for ten years after the contractor builds the home, the EDA completely forgives
the loan. The Housing Resource Center administers the program on behalf of Mounds
View, The City pays an annual fee to the Housing Resource Center to administer this
program and to provide other housing -related services to Mounds View residents.
Attached is a list of programs available to residents through the Housing Resource Center.
Program Usage
Since the program's inception in 1996, the EDA has been involved with the acquisition
and/or demolition of about five homes in Mounds View. To date, the EDA has received
twelve formal applications for the program and two informal applications. Residents
submitted the informal applications and asked the EDA to discuss the acquisition of their
homes but did not want to apply for the program.
Program Amendments
Per the attached program history, the EDA has amended the program several times. The
last time the EDA discussed the program was in late 2008 when the EDA considered
updating the outdated list of parcels eligible for the program. The EDA declined to do so
because the City's public finance advisors estimated the cost of updating the list would be
$3,000.
July 6, 2010 Council Work Session
Item 3 — Housing Replacement Program Review
Page 2 of 3
Discussion
Recent EDA Actions
Since December of 2008, the EDA has denied the last three requests from residents
inquiring about the program's acquisition option. These actions are consistent with the
EDA's decision in 2007 to refocus the program towards demolition of blighted properties
rather than the acquisition option.
Based on the EDA's recent actions, the City's current budgetary crisis and the effect of
today's economy on homeowners' ability to maintain their homes, staff is suggesting that
the EDA consider refocusing the Housing Replacement Program.
Ideas for Refocusing the Program
Refocusing the Housing Replacement Program could mean using 2011 Housing
Replacement Program funds towards implementing two of the Council's 2010 goals &
priorities. These are to "Continue Emphasis on Code Enforcement throughout the City"
and to "Continue Focus on Issues Relating to Home Foreclosures and Vacancies" (the
Council does not have a formal goal or priority to revitalize neighborhoods through the
replacement of housing).
Since 1996, the EDA has annually allocated $150,000 toward the Housing Replacement
Program. When the EDA discusses its 2011 budget, staff would like the EDA to consider
maintaining the $150,000 for neighborhood revitalization purposes. However, rather than
keeping the Housing Replacement Program, staff is suggesting that the EDA consider
reallocating $100,000 towards a code enforcement rehabilitation program and $50,000
towards a housing demolition program. The Housing Resource Center would administer
both programs per the annual fee that the City already pays the Housing Resource Center;
however, the City would need to discuss the details of the programs with the Housing
Resource Center.
About Possible New Programs
A code enforcement rehabilitation program would provide low-income homeowners who
have received notice of code violations from the City with the ability to bring their home into
compliance. Attached is an example of such a program from the City of Tallahassee, FL.
Tallahassee offers this program as an interest free/no-monthly payment loan up to $2,500
per unit. The loan is forgivable after five years if the homeowner remains in the home.
Another example of a code rehab program is the City of Minneapolis's code abatement
loan program. Minneapolis offers an interest-free loan for up to $20,000 for code
abatements for households that are within 50 percent of the median income for the Twin
Cities Metro area. The homeowner repays the City for the loan when the owner sells the
house.
A housing demolition program would have the same criteria as Mounds View is Housing
Replacement Program but would not offer acquisition assistance.

Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council provided irection about using $150,000 in the 2011
EDA budget for neighborhood revitalization purposes. Staff recommends that the City do
this with a code enforcement rehabilitation program and a housing demolition program.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Economic Development Authority
From: Heidi Steinmetz, Economic Development Specialist
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 10 -EDA -260 Authorizing the Expenditure of Tax
Increment Financing Funds for the Appraisal of 7968 Edgewood
Drive (For Consideration of Purchase under the EDA's Housing
Replacement Program)
Background of Housing Replacement Program
The EDA created the Housing Replacement Program in 1996. Since that time, the EDA
has been involved with the acquisition and/or demolition of about five homes in Mounds
View. The objectives of the program are as follows:
• Replace deteriorating substandard housing on scattered sites throughout Mounds
View with larger, higher value housing designed for owner -occupied families
• Eliminate the blighting influence of substandard housing
• Increase the availability for quality housing for families
The program has the following two options:
1. Demolition assistance provided as a ten year/forgivable deferred loan
2. Property Acquisition (the EDA will purchase the home and market it to potential buyers)
Discussion
On June 21, 2010, staff received the attached Housing Replacement Program
application from Mr. Ken Nollet, owner of a single-family home located at 7968
Edgewood Drive in Mounds View. Built in 1941, the home sits on a .84 -acre lot. Mr.
Nollet is asking the EDA to acquire the property. Mr. Nollet inherited the property from
his uncle and does not reside in the property (the house is currently vacant). Mr. Nollet
works and lives in Japan. He will be attending the EDA meeting to answer any
questions the EDA may have about his Housing Replacement Program application.
Mr. Nollet's application meets the EDA's Housing Replacement Program criteria. The
criteria is attached for the EDA's review. The property is on the City's list of parcels
eligible for acquisition as part of the EDA's Project Plan for the Mounds View Economic
Development Project. In addition, the home qualifies for the Housing Replacement
Program's blight test because of the totality of the home's deficiencies. Mounds View's
Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector Jeremiah Anderson completed an exterior and
interior inspection of the property on July 7, 2010. Attached are his findings.

Item 7A — HRP Application
Page 2 of 6
Below is a close-up version of an aerial photo of the property. The photo provides a
visual indication that the sizes of the home and garage are very small compared to the
size of the lot. Per the attached tax and property information from Ramsey County, the
size of the one story home is 691 square feet, the size of the garage is 576 square feet
and the size of the lot is .84 of an acre. Ramsey County's Estimated Market Value of the
house is $120,800 in 2010 and $112,300 in 2011. The adjacent property to the south
(7948 Edgewood Dr) is also for sale and that property owner plans to list the property by
the end of 2010.

7-12-2010 EDA Meeting
Item 7A— HRP Application
Page 6 of 6
Summary
In summary, the Housing Replacement Program is a neighborhood revitalization program.
One purpose of neighborhood revitalization is to fix a deteriorating housing stick in order
to increase property values. Increased property values leads to an increased tax base for
the City, which helps the City provide essential services that the residents need and
expect.
The housing stock surrounding 7968 Edgewood Drive has deteriorated based on the
amount of vacant and foreclosed properties located within the neighborhood.
Unfortunately, the status of the housing stock in this neighborhood is not unlike many
neighborhoods in the City. The success of any community includes, but is not limited to,
a well-maintained housing stock.
Whether the EDA approves this most recent Housing Replacement Program application,
this neighborhood, along with many other Mounds View neighborhoods, need access to
some sort of neighborhood revitalization program.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the EDA adopt the attached Resolution 10 -EDA -260 Authorizing
the Expenditures of TIF funds for the Appraisal of 7968 Edgewood Drive.
Next Step
If the EDA approves Resolution 10 -EDA -260, upon the receipt of an appraisal, the EDA
would then consider authorizing staff to negotiate a purchase agreement with the
homeowner.
Respectfully submitted,
Heidi Steinmetz
Economic Development Specialist
