Adjournment A CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3026 HAR8OR LANE, PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55441 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 DATE: August 229 1978 MEMO TO: Housing and Redevelopment Authority FROM: Milt Dale SUBJECT: Various Housing and Redevelopment Activities and Projects - August '78 Enclosed is the Financial Statement for the Plymouth Housing and Redevelop- ment Authority for the year ending December 31, 1977. This statement has been prepared for the Housing and Redevelopment Authority by Moen and Penttila, Limited Certified Mlic accountants. This firm is also doing an audit of our Housing and Redevement Authority program operations in terms of whether we are follo- wing accepted federal and state .procedures. Section 235/265 Program is still in limbo. From all appearances we will have no way of enforcing any kind of repayment agreement on the homeowner. I have found out from the MHFA that none of their money for the Home Improvement Grant Program comes from the federal government and consequently they do not need to comply with federal governnnt regulations. A letter and the most rec- ent MHFA repayment agreement has been mailed to the HUD Area Office legal staff. The reply to my inquiry regarding a repayment agreement is attached. The City Attorney's office is also aware of the repayment agreement matter and is looking into an acceptable solution. Recently our office received a copy of our Housing Policy 39 Performance Ranking. This is a ranking assigned to us by the Metro Council (now done by computer based on a points systets) and ability to obtain funding on specific projects involving federal and state'Ifionies.. In response to rather disappoint - Ing ranking, ie we dropped from 38 points to 34 points, I wrote a letter to John Doyle of the Metro Council regarding this matter. Attached is this letter. The MHFA Home Improvement Grant Program is now entering into Year III. The Procedural Guide (ie the rules and regulations for the program) have stayed basically the same as last year's. Hennepin County will be requiring some additional information from the City on each application over what was required before, ie 1. Census. Tract of residence 2. Distance residence is from: a. Major roadway b. Airport c. Railroad A a 3. Does residence pass Section 8 quality housing standards? 4. Is residence of historical: significance? S.

S. 1918 MEMO Housing Rehabilitation Committee Milt Dale SUBJECT; Status Report Update (August 1, 1978) Attached is a copy of the latest Rehab Project Listing. Along with some recent activity that needs noting, this is also 'the endof t'— hefunding year for 1977-78. A more detailed account of each applicant is as follows: A. Vir in rg All work scheduied has been completed and contractors paid. Roof repair work was:pald for by the applicant as this time cost her only $45. Caulking and window repair work may be done either by the CETA people or our Plymouth Jaycees. B. Tillie Schendel As you may recall, her house burned to the ground last December. Efforts by the City to rehouse her have been abandoned as she is now taken care of at a daughter's. Another daughter has power-of-attorney and eventually plans to bu#ld a house and have Tillie move in with her and her family. All City work paid for. C. Ed Kadlac Water hook-up has not been done. have contacted hav e D. Julie Waukazo work has been done and paid for but the lawn resoration work still Maybe the Plymouth Jaycees could help here. All the firms I failed to see me a bid. Just zero interest in this job. All work finished and contractors paid. The driveway does need some work and again perhaps the Plymouth.Jaycees might like this one! E. Barb Jefferson A legal problem here has held up any work for this resident. Until she has paid off the contract for deed holder the Plymouth mousing and Redevelopment Authority does not want us to become involved. Her attorney indicates she is in the process of so doing. Unfortuantely her present income prevents her from receiving CSA-CETA Weather- ization assistance although she does qualify for city assistance. Page .2 F, Liar bel l a Miller Roof reshingling has been done for Mrs. Miller with payment yet to be made. Inspections both by the City's building inspector and myself have been made and the viork was satisfactory,. The remaining jobs should be underway soon.. G. Beverly Yantes This applicant is selling her house and getting married. so she has "requested" vwwval from the program. This did create a difficult situation for the contractor as he had a crew and materials ready to go on the site when the "ex -applicant" told the contractor of her decision. Committee -members thoughts on how to prevent future reoccurrences of this kind of a "pull-out" would be appreciated. H. LeRoy Flickinger A "hold" has been put on this applicant's requests until we see how much money remains. Perhaps a decision could be made at the August meeting. 1. Thrasilla Perry No final approval from the MHFA on this applicant's request has yet been granted. Word should be coming within the next two weeks one way or the other. J. George Medley Stair repair work has not been done due to the lack of bids on this project. Should the Cowittee desire, I will give the job to the one bidder. K. Mavis Olson All work completed and paid for. L. Doris Odoms Bids have been reviewed and contractors selected. A couple Contractor -Homeowner Warranties are still to be signed, otherwise the entire application package is ready to go to the MHFA via Hennepin County. Should MHFA not approve this applicant for one reason or another, there are funds available from the city program. If applicant is approved by the MHFA then funds would come out of next year's program, ie 1918-19 year. M. Lucy Freund Some bids have been received but more are still out. As well Contractor -Homeowner Warranties still need signing. Hopefully roof repair work can commence next week before the next rain!). This applicant does not qualify for the state program as she has an annual income of $6,021. • Page 3 Under "Other' Rn.your Rehb Project Listim you will find that the City's cost for printing 69000 brochures was and this item has been paid. Also the MNFA sent the Plymouth Housing and Redevelopment Authority a check for $867.84 for admini- stering our end of the Nome Improvement Grant Program. i may add that this does not adequately cover administrative expenses for this program. Smoke detectors should be purchased for Lucy Freund. Maribelle Miller and Thrasilla Perry. This cost has been included using City money since we have had such excellent cost control and installation service from the Plymouth Jaycees. I am assumming a $30/smoke detector cost as in February of 1978. Our total expenditures under the beery allocated. We will be returning we spend about $54.00 over our initial have $6,563 remaining. This money may the Community Oevelopment Block Grant Attachment: state program almost equals the amount we have abour $442. As you may recall from last year, allocation. In terms of City monies we do be carried over to next year as it comes from fund.

We appreciate the time and effort involved inreading the proposed amendments ,as well as formulating thoughtful, constructive comments. Your cements are being considered carefully in making changes to the amend- ments before they are adopted by the Council. Many of the continents focused on Metropolitan municipalities' proposed "full share goals" for both low- and moderate -income. and modest -cost housing through 1990. Of major concern to the Council was the perception that the communities are expected to produce the number of units indicated as their fair share of these housing needs. In reviewing long range housing plans of communities, the CtCouncilwill ha.__iafuatina oroductigo- but rather to what extent communit i Esc rp nt+ ni ennert +n A ty =or construe ot3-n oy-ems -cost housing, wnetner subsidized or modest -cost private market housing. Subsidy programs address only 40% of the total needs for low- and moderate -income housing, but communities can provide opportunities through maximum use of subsidy programs as well as promoting the availability of land for least -cost housing. All of us have concerns as to how local communities can produce: opportunities for least -cost housing through the local planning process, as well as what standards the Metropolitan Council should use in reviewing local housing plans. we are sponsoring a meeting on Auaust 22 at 1:30 o.m. in Room E at the Council Offices with local. planners and officials to discuss more effective ways we can use local and regional planning processes to address the long term needs for least -cost housing in this Area. We hope many of the concerns expressed through the public hearing process can be dealt with at this meeting. 2- Please.let us know if you plan to attend by calling 291-6303. Further discussions on the proposed amendments are planned by the Human Resources Committee in the fall before final adoption by the Metropolitan Council. Please consult. future "REVIEW A Metropolitan Council Bulletin for Community Leaders" for the exact dates of meetings. Once again, we want to thank you for participating in the public hearing process and hope you will continue to be involved is planning for local. and regional housing needs. r r tom• I . n.
