Willis, City Manager SUBJECT: 1983 PROPOSED CITY BUbGETS - PUBLIC HEARING A. 6. SUMMARY: The City Council has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed 198) City Budgets for September 20, 1982. The purpose of the hearing is to provide the public with an opportunity to express their views with regard to the proposed 1983 City budgets. A copy of the proposed 1983 budget document in its entirety is available for inspection at the City Center during normal business hours. It is recommended that the City Council conduct the public hearing and consider further study of comments at upcoming budget study sessions. It is the responsibility of the City Manager to annually propose budgets for City Council consideration. The proposed 1983 budgets were submitted to the City Council on August 23. Subsequently, the Council has held two public meetings to study and review the pro- posed budgets. These budgets are the vehicle by which the City allocates financial resources to achieve public program goals and objectives for our community. To that end, the budgets as policy tools seek to allocate the available fiscal resources in a fashion which most effectively meets the dwnand for local services in our growing community. A summary of each of tta: proposed 1981 City bud- gets is shown below. Where apprcpriate, summary sheat; from the budget documents are attached for in'rotwation purposes. I. General Fund The General Operating budget finances all genes,, q8;,-rnr,&t services and is supported in large measure .hy property 0XV.S. Of the proposed $5,011,375 budget, 686 or 0,420,160 would, be raised through property taxes.

As can be seen, :he two major sources of fundinq are property taxes and state and federal aids.

A more graphic portrayal of the activities contained in the qeneral fund and level of funding devoted to each is shown in Table 2. The greatest expenditure area of this budget is for the provi- sion of public safety services. Public safety, including police, fire, fire inspection and civil defense, represents almost 40% of our expenditures. Another 24% is required to deliver public works services, including street maintenance, snow and ice control. Planning and Building Inspection repre- sent only 6% of the expenditures while the remaining 32% is IIEMi#iMdDUN September 179 1982 Page 3 split about equally between Park and Recreation, Administration, Financial and Legal and Fixed City Costs.

The school district requires some 5-3.6%, and Hennepin County 28.5%. While these figures will vary for each school district, the City's portion of each property tax dollar does not exceed 16%.

Response to HUD's Management Review of Plymouth's Section 8 Pr6ptam At its last meeting of August 2, 1982, the HRA Commissioners directed staff to inform the HUD Area Office of•the corrective actions staff would be taking to comply with HUD's Management Review findings and to indicate "target dates" on which those corrective actions would be accomplished. As well, staff was directed to determine what were the uncleared findings of the previous Management Review Report and then make recommendations to the HRA at its next meeting. In compliance with these directives, I have initiated the establishment of target dates for each corrective action for the June 1982 Management Review. In addition, I have determined what are the uncleared findings from the previous Management Review.. I also established "target dates" for each of these items. In a letter I have drafted to the HUD Area Office, I am providing target dates for all uncleared findings. Attached is a draft letter to the HUD Area Office indicating our response and the target dates by which corrective actions will be taken. Attachment: 1. Letter to Thomas Feeney CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 DATE: ' September 21, 1982 MEMO TO: HRA Commissioners FROM: Milt Dale, Associate Planner G SUBJECT: The Housing Development Assistance Program Workshop of , ember 15, 1982 On September 15, 1982 the Metro Council staff held a workshop to explain to Community Development staff people and other interested parties their new Housing Development Assistance Program and to introduce the "team" from their staff that would be involved in this program. Nancy Reeves, Director of the Housing Division of the Metropolitan Council, gave a summary of the program's purpose and stated that, in her discussion with other community leaders, they indicated a desire to have "affordable housing" in their communities, but stated that there were three problems: I. 'There was inadequate staff, insufficient time and lack of expertise. 2. There was a lack of financing. 3. There was a problem with neighborhood acceptance with affordable housing. To meet this challenge Nancy stated that now the Metro Council has accomplished the following objectives: 1. They have a seven member Housing Assistance Team comprised of Metro Council Housing staff people. 2. They have joint bonding power to aid in financing projects. 3. The Metro Council approved "an affordable housing assistance program," information packet to help educate the "masses". Phil Cohen, aide to Senator Durenberger and former Brooklyn Center Mayor and Metro NRA member, then introduced four members of the Metro Council staff who have, during the past summer, worked in the private sector for one month to obtain some "hands on" experience in the "real world". The first person to relate his experiences in the private sector was Guy Pet0son who worked with a bonding company. He stated that he found out that every c,i(T— a HRA Commissioners September 21, 1982 Page two program required a different approach/solution to make it work. He said there was no "cookie cutter" approach. The next person to discuss her role was Joanne Barron who worked with Orrin Thompson homes who is the largest single family o builder in the Metro area. She said they sell most of their homes to first time buyers and she interviewed all the sales people in that firm. Wayne Nelson worked with Bois Claire Corporation He stated that he worked on the foT wing aspects of one project: 1. The development objectives. 2. Market feasibility. 3. Preliminary feasibility analysis. 4. Preliminary design work. 5. Financing options. 6. Market analysis. 7. Design and design review. The last member of the "team" was Chuck Ballantine who worked with Northland Mortgage Co. He stated VI t the mayor pro em that this company has is dealing with high interest rates but that it is still possible to produce affordable housing, although it does require a considerable amount of work to provide the end product. After the above individuals had related their private sector internship experiences, the materials in the information packet were reviewed by various members of the Metro Council staff. There was little deviation from the packet itself and the information that was presented seems to have some applicability. In all, I would say that it was one of the better workshops that the Metro Council has put on. Although the subject was not brought up at this meeting, it is my understanding from an earlier meeting I attended with Metro Council that there would be no charge to communities for most of the services that Metro Council staff would offer. On September 15, 1982 I contacted Chuck Ballantine with the Metro Council staff and he confirmed that this would still be the Metro Council policy, however he also indicated that a charge for staff services would depend, to a considerable degree, on the time drain on Metro Council staff. In light of this, I would suggest that we could develop some related housing program(s) where we perhaps could employ the use of Metro Council staff's input. CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD.. PLYMOUTH. MINNESOTA 55447 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 MEMO DATE: September 22, 1982 TO: HRA Commissioners FROM: Milt Dale SUBJECT: Latest Subsidized Townhouse Project in Plymouth Recently the City of Plymouth was informed by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) that the Mission Oaks townhouse project completed its mortgage underwriting process and its initial closing. Completion of the project is scheduled for March of 1983. The project will consist of 26 family townht-use units on an elongated site in the north portion of the Mission project. Access is on to County Road 9 near Goldenrod Lane. There are to be 15 garage units and 44 surface parking spaces. There will be 1 two bedroom handicap townhouse, 17 two bed- room townhouses and 8 three bedroom townhouses. All townhouses will be rental units with 30% of the eligible family's income to pay for rent. This is a Section 8 New Construction project and it will be managed by an on -the - site manager. The City HRA staff will not be involved in the selection of tenants, however, as with Kimberly Meadows and Willow Woods Estates, I will be recommending families now on the Plymouth Section 8 program who are experiencing over -crowding to the management company.

The two communities of Minnetonka and Edina have a contract with the Metro Council for the Section 8 Existing Rent Assistance Program, however Minnetonka has only 5 certificate holders and Edina has only 2 certificate holders as of August 1982. The rest of the subsidized.family housing opportunities in Chose two communities are in 3 townhouse projects in Minnetonka and 2 townhouse projects in Edina.

At present there are three subsidized housing projects in Plymouth with a fourth scheduled for completion in early Spring 1983. With a total of 153 lower-income families on four project sites, meeting the 'non -housing" needs of these families may become a more critical issue in Plymouth during the 80's. It is my opinion that the use of local people and resources to help improve the opportunity for social and economic advancement for poorer people is the best course of action. The comments by Mr. Silverman address some of these social issues in a constructive way. (I especially endorse h:s co:nrnents relative to HUD manuals') Attachment: ournalof Housiny article July/August Issue, 1982 OWon & Comment Journal ofHousingp Former Asst. Commis8ioner, U.S. Public Hou8inq Agency Abner D. Silverman Subsidized Housing It is axiomatic that housing serv- ing low- and moderate -income fam- ilies assisted by public subsidies should be managed to serve the public interest. It is argued that the public interest is served if a low- or moderate -income family is rehoused in a decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling at a rent within its financial reach. This is one of the purposes for which subsidies are made available. But to limit the public interest to providing shelter alone is a narrow view of subsidized housing purposes and a failure to capitalize on their potential. There is a view that the greatest return on the nation's investment in subsidized housing will be achieved when program operations provide, in addition to housing, op- portunities for underprivileged families to improve their health and living standards, and motivation to develop the maximum capabilities they possess or can acquire. This broader view of the public interest is reflected in the social goals for public housing which were enunci- ated by the Public Housing Admin- istration on March 22, 1968. This is a far different sense of mission from that contained in the Housing Act of 1937. The Decla- ration of Policy of that act is set forth in the following language: it is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States to pro- mote the general welfare of the Nation by employing its funds and credit, as provided in this Act, to assist the several states and their 102 Journal of Housing political subdivisions to alleviate present and recurring unemploy- ment and to remedy the unsafe and insanitary housing conditions and the acute shortage of decent safe and sanitary dwellings for families of low income." Public housers had, and cur- rently have, one choice only. They have neither funds nor competence to deal with the serious behavioral, mental, or physical problems of such families. They cannot reject per se families who are on welfare, moth- ers with illegitimate children, those with poor social histories or police records. The courts have held that the rejection of such families out of hand, without evidence that their admission to projects would rep- resent a hazara to others, is a violation of due process. Public housing agencies, unlike unsubsi- dized private landlords, do not have the right to be arbitrary or capri- cious. The 1968 social goals ran into housing difficulties arising from in- creased costs. As a consequence, HUD adopted a performance fund- ing program which severely re- stricted the funds made available to public housing agencies. The Housing Act of 1974 created new financial and social changes in the low -rent housing program. Looking at the public housing program, one must recognize the total restriction of the housing pro- gram to welfare families. The in- troduction of housing for the el- derly, the program for housing the Indian population, the use of short- term private housing, the use of Section 8 housing—all mark a total change in the original occupancy standards of the public housing pro- grInrecognition of the changes in public housing under local authority control since 1937, there is great need for a different package of serv- ices now as compared to 40 -plus years ago. In my judgment, these are the needed services: 1—Money enough to maintain a project and provide a suitable physical and mental state of health which will permit self - development. 2—A sense that the "poor" are being given a chance to shape the world in which they live. 3-Security—both physically against crime) as well as in terure—so that they may de- velop roots in their community. 4—Health services for adults and children --Services that are ac- cessible, where they feel wel- come as respected patients, not merely wards of the state. 5—Education to tweet their needs for self-imptaaentetn so that they can develop bwreased earning capacity, if not for themselves, as least for their children. 6—Recreational opportunities for children and teenagers under skilled swervision The above costs money. Moreover, no one can predict that such action will correct conditions quickly. At this period in society, the attempt to meet all the needs of public housing tenants is nearly impossible. But. changes should take place. There seems little advantage in the use of Section 213 of the act and the consequent limitations on LHA action. There is evidence that adequate funding has not been pro- vided for security. With current cost requirements, it would be to the benefit of all public housing agencies to spend their available resources on improving the condi- tion of existing projects. It would be better if controls were grid MIX milor Dm. - grams -and violations become ma - ers orstall concern. The s ecr c oT o s in ' manus s are to rn a me t rue the tee ec tv ne ousE authorities. Althot gh there as been a substantial reduction in the need for housing since 1930, there is still a need for some of the poor to be given an opportunity to develop social competence and hu- man dignity.

August 23, 1982 4e Aft 300 Metro Square Building, 7th Street and Robert Street, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 Area 612, 291.6359 T0: City Administrators, Planners, Community Development Staff I am pleased to announce the formdtion of the Metropolitan Council's Development Assistance Team. The team will be providing technical assistance to local communities for continuing the development of lower-income and modest -cost housing. I invite you to attend a workshop on the Development Assistance Program on - Wednesday, September 15, 1982. This will be an opportunity to meet tears members and learn more about the program. The realities of today's housing market require innovative financial techniques and a greater involvement between the public and private sectors. Some communities in the Metropolitan Area are producing housing using bonding, tas, increment and other funding mechanisms. The Development Assistance Team has been formed to help additional communities who would like to make use of these techniques to provide affordable housing. Team members include Housing Planning and Metro HRA staff who have been working for several months to lay the groundwork for this program. This has included Internships in the private sector, testimony to the Metro HRA Advisory Committee on a wide variety of innovative housing programs and financing tools, and the preparation of housing development materials. The workshop will begin at 9:00 a.m. in the Metrcpolitan Council Chambers. If you are unable to attend, you are welcome at the session for local community officials on Thursday, September 16, 1982, at 7:00 p.m. There is no charge or formal registration for the workshop. Please call Linda Milashius at 291-6472 by Monday, September 13 if you plan to attend either session. A few county HRAs are offering or planning to offer similar housing development assistance. If your city is in the jurisdiction of a county HRA, you should also contact the office regarding your interests. I hope you can attend this informal session on the Development Assistance Program.
