The predictions are based on the number of adjustable-rate subprime mortgages that will reset in 2008. When the interest rates reset on those mortgages, also known as ARMS, monthly payments go up. Many of those borrowers, already squeezed by rising gas and food prices, will be more likely to go into foreclosure. Within the nine - county metro area in Minnesota, the Fed has identified more than 3o ZIP codes where the percentage of subprime ARMs that will reset in 2oo8 is between 34.9 and 50. This means those areas likely will be the next washed over by the foreclosure wave. The organization has mapped those statistics and found that, while pain will continue in the central cities, the exurbs may be next. "The Nancy K,ehn I M, n ap,,IWSI Paul nosiness Journa: The Fed's Michael Grover is getting word out on the new data. View Larder maps confirmed that while Hennepin and Ramsey counties were once producing the majority of foreclosures, now we're seeing colors where I wouldn't have expected to see them," said Michael Grover, community affairs manager for the Minnea- .. The Fed has posted interactive maps of the data on the New York Fed's Web site. In the Twin Cities, Grover is making sure local organizations that can help troubled borrowers know about the resource. "This analysis is meant to create awareness of the potential future troubled areas," said Michael Grover, community affairs manager for the Minneapolis Fed. "It doesn't mean they'll all go delinquent or go into foreclosure, but it gives us a sense of what areas we need to be concerned about." While there's plenty of historical and current information about mortgage foreclosures, this is the first publicly available attempt to predict the future in the metro area. "It's a real breakthrough for the Federal Reserve System to do this analysis and then make it available," said Warren Ilanson, president and CEO of the St. Paul -based Greater http:/hv-,v%N,.bizjoumals.com/twincities/stories/2008/08/1 I /story l.html?b=1218427200^ 1681... 8/8/2008 Page 8 Fed says foreclosures will sweep exurbs next - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal: Page 2 of 4 Minnesota Housing Fund. "Until this data, we were looking in the rearview mirror." Help for nonprofits Banks and lenders have plenty of financial data about their customers, so they can easily predict when a borrower might get into trouble. However, because of confidentiality and liability issues, they can't freely share that information with nonprofit organizations that are trying to help borrowers either as financial counselors or as mediators between borrowers and lenders. Nonprofits have struggled to play catch-up with the waves of foreclosures that have already hit some parts of the metro area and Greater Minnesota. "Quite candidly, we're all about two to three years behind the curve," Hanson said. "There's no sign on people's door that says, `I'm behind on my mortgage.' " The nonprofits can use the data to target certain areas of the metro area for mailings, billboards and other kinds of outreach. "It helps us narrow down the ZIP codes we would send mailings to," said Julie Gugin, executive director of the Minnesota Home Ownership Center in St. Paul. "In larger counties where the communities are more spread out and there's not a core city, we could use it to actually identify which cities we could target in our outreach." The data only goes as deep as the ZIP code level, which means nonprofits still have to throw a wide net to target the people to contact. "Unfortunately, there's no one source of information that's like a silver bullet," Hanson said. Emerging pattern The pattern that emerges from the data is that the foreclosure wave started in the central cities will mostly skip the first-tier suburbs, then hit the exurbs next, Grover said. "It's like a doughnut," he said. The first-tier suburbs may have more stability because home values didn't increase as quickly as in the exurbs, and because they have a higher rate of mortgages that are paid off, Grover said. "That's where homeowners have been there a long time and there hasn't been a lot of housing development." The other information that becomes clear from the Fed data is that earlier estimates of how many foreclosures will happen over the next year or two have been low, Hanson said. "We knew there would be about 28,000 foreclosures [in Minnesota in 2008], but we had no way of knowing there would be these additional resets," he said. "Now we have this new data that says, `Holy cow, there's this whole new level of resets.' So we could be looking at double the number of foreclosures in 2009. We didn't expect that and didn't know that until [the Fed] put it together."

The motion was unanimously approved. CICC COORDINATOR • Brenda explained that Carol Bergenstal's hours will be reduced to one day a week during the coming school year. Kristin Tollison, Assistant Director of Community Education Services, will help cover Carol's duties during this time. INTRODUCTIONS CICC members were asked to introduce themselves and the organization/constituency they represent and share their expectations of the CICC in the coming year. The following comments were shared: • Keep the meetings timely and on -schedule • Continue focus on collaboration • Maintain focus on kids who "need a little boost" to be successful • Expand connections and collaboration with neighboring school districts Page 30 • Continue to provide a forum to focus on emerging needs in the community • Continue to foster relationships among representatives from all aspects of the community • Continue to provide a venue to keep each other informed of events/programs/needs in the community • Be a resource for identification of volunteers • Be a catalyst for increased collaboration • Don't be satisfied with the status quo. Continue efforts to improve the opportunities for all youth in our community • Serve as a venue to disseminate information throughout the community • Keep focused on what we can do --- not the roadblocks STATE OF OUR COMMUNITY LaDonna Hoy, Executive Director of Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners shared an overview of the state of our community, from IOCP's perspective: • IOCP is a community-based outreach organization. • IOCP's goal is to change the odds and help families become self-sufficient by focusing on the five greatest barriers for families: housing, childcare, transportation, employment and lack of connection to the community. • IOCP addresses the housing continuum from emergency housing assistance to supportive housing services (Project Success, CONECT, Employment Services), to long-term solutions (affordable housing developments, education and advocacy). • Housing is not enough, however. • CONECT serves 8 multi -unit housing neighborhoods in Plymouth with a multitude of on-site programs including Camp CONECT, Homework Clubs, community dinners, etc. • The Caring for Kids Initiative is developing a replicable model to provide high quality childcare and education, parent education and family support to ensure all children begin kindergarten ready to learn. • IOCP case managers work with clients to help them re -frame their situations and develop a step-by-step process to reach specific goals. • The need for IOCP's services has grown dramatically. For example, 18 cars were donated to IOCP last year. 60 cars are needed. • The growing number of home foreclosures in our community is also a great concern. • The goal for the 2008 Sleep Out is $1.5 million. The need is closer to $2 million. • The encouraging new is that our community has become a true incubator of future service leaders --- thanks, in large measure, to the help and support from students and staff that IOCP receives through the Wayzata Schools. • LaDonna concluded by stating, "If the sky is falling, let's hold it up" and reminding us that this is "the community that can. If not here, where? If not now, when?" 2 Page 31 FORMAT FOR 2008-09 CICC MEETINGS Brenda asked CICC members to review the suggested format for our meetings this year: • A "community resource table" will be available to share flyers, brochures, invitations, etc. • 20-30 minutes of each meeting will be devoted to an update from one or more LCTS grant recipients and/or key partners including an overview of the program, progress made, needs that may have developed, and the role of collaboration in their program. • 30-45 minutes of each meeting will be devoted to community updates/reflections/hopes and dreams from CICC members and the identification of emerging community needs, with the focus on efforts to reduce barriers to services for families and collaboration across sectors. • The support, resources, and/or connections needed from the CICC will be identified and recorded, including action steps and key person(s) responsible for follow-up. • Progress on previously identified issues will be reported at following meeting. ADJOURN • The meeting was adjourned at 4:40 PM.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. St. Paul, MN 55155 Dear Senator Rest: CONNECTING & INNOVATING SINCE 1913 On behalf of the more than 800 member cities of the League of Minnesota Cities, we are honored to acknowledge your legislative contributions during the 2008 session by recognizing you as a League of Minnesota Cities 2008 Legislator of Distinction. As you know, we pursue flexible, responsible, and accountable municipal authority to provide local solutions to our residents in a wide array of services including safe drinking water, police and fire protection, quality parks and recreation among others. Defending local control and protecting cities from unfunded mandates are core beliefs of the League of Minnesota Cities, and our members pursue these principals with the goal of fostering and encouraging active engaged citizen participation in local governance in communities across Minnesota. Our members recognize that in order to be successful in serving our common constituents, state and city officials must work together as partners to reach solutions that meet the unique needs of rural, suburban, and urban main streets across this state. City leaders also understand that without the support of legislative leaders like you, this partnership — and all the success that results from our cooperation — would not be possible. In particular, during the 2008 session, you were instrumental in the successful passage of several League -supported initiatives including changes to the statutes governing charter cities, the legislation authorizing meetings on March 4, the date formerly reserved for party caucuses and the legislation that establishes a framework for state responses to natural disasters. We would also like to acknowledge your open door policy and your unwavering willingness to meet with us to discuss city issues. 145 UNIVERSITY AVE. WEST ST.
