The suit, drafted in part by a lawyer who played a key role a decade ago in the effort to desegregate Minneapolis public housing, also alleges violation of the state human -rights law. The goal is to increase the region's supply of affordable housing -- not only in suburbs, but also in core cities, said one of the advocates, Russ Adams. The advocates say they've been frustrated by more than a year of negotiations with the Met Council - - the region's planning agency -- over adherence to the 1976 Land Use Planning Act. They selected Eagan as a defendant partly because because it declined to participate in a key council program that sets community goals for affordable housing. The human -rights complaint, which is directed only at Eagan, alleges that the city's policies disproportionately harm minorities and people on public assistance. The suit asks that the council and Eagan be ordered to follow the law and that the council take the remedial step of denying grants to cities that fail to follow the law in their growth plans. It asks that Eagan be barred from developing land for other purposes that could hold affordable housing until it follows the law. Adams said he expects the impact to exceed that of the 1992 Hollman suit, an effort -- named after its lead plaintiff -- that led to the razing of four housing projects in Minneapolis and to a greater dispersal of public housing in the metro area as a whole. "I think this will have a regionwide effect that goes well beyond Hollman and goes beyond hundreds of units into the thousands and will go on into the long term," said Adams, executive director of the nonprofit Alliance for Metropolitan Stability. Other plaintiffs include the Metropolitan Interfaith Coalition on Affordable Housing and the Community Stabilization Project, which have organized around housing issues in Eagan and elsewhere. Eagan Mayor Pat Awada called the suit a politically motivated bid to harm her campaign for state auditor. She said she expects it to be quickly dismissed because her city's performance nearly mirrors Met Council expectations. Ted Mondale, the Met Council's chairman, said that although the council and its legal adversaries share values on making affordable housing a priority, they differ on tactics. "They want us to approach this in a confrontational manner. We've approached this in a way that we're working with markets and we're working with the mayors of the cities in the region," he said. http://www.startribune.com/viewers/story.php?template=print_a&story=3165055 8/15/2002 Printer version: Met Council, Eagan to be sued over housing Page 2 of 3 He said that the council has employed a variety of tools to stimulate production of affordable housing but that it is limited by political realities. He has predicted that if the suit prevailed, a likely legislative response would be to amend the Land Use Planning Act. About the law The law states that city land -use plans, which the Met Council reviews, must be specific in providing for current and projected housing needs, including controls and plans to promote the availability of land for low -and moderate -income housing. It also requires an implementation program that provides enough existing and new housing to meet the city's share of regional low -and moderate -income housing needs. It does not define income levels for such housing. The act "is not something to be afraid of," said Ann Norton, one of the attorneys representing housing advocates. "It's actually a very beneficial and proper tool." The advocates credit the law with increasing the supply of such housing in the late 1970s and early '80s, when the Met Council used it to determine the region's need and make sure city plans accommodated it. A recent University of Minnesota study of the law's impact over 25 years called the council's abandonment of that effort "a missed opportunity of huge proportions." Joy Sorensen Navarre, director of the Interfaith Coalition, said one reason for that is that developable land in the metro area is filling up without affordable housing. Adams said the Met Council's own figures show that affordable housing is being created through its incentive programs at only one-tenth of the need it estimates. But Mondale said that those incentives have leveraged $334 million in additional housing investment and that the council has tied regional transportation spending to a community's housing performance. "I would defy anyone to say we haven't been aggressive," he said. As a state senator in the early 1990s, he was one of two key legislators behind the council's incentives program, and he also sponsored an amendment to the planning law to give cities' long-range plans primacy over zoning laws. Eagan's situation Eagan has drawn the attention of advocates and the Met Council for opting not to participate in Mondale's incentives plan, instead pledging to meet council -set affordability targets that advocates claim are too low. It also has had several well-publicized disputes over approval of affordable - housing projects. The biggest collection of subsidized units in Eagan is at the Oak Ridge development, which opened in 1996. There are more than 650 people on Dakota County's waiting list for 42 family townhouses there. Meanwhile, ground is to be broken this fall on a two -developer complex that will include 55 affordable units among a larger number of market -rate units. But at least two housing developments in Eagan have opted out of federally subsidized programs in recent years to switch to market rates, offsetting those gains. http://www.startribune.com/viewers/story.php?template=print_ a&story=3165055 8/15/2002 Printer version: Met Council, Eagan to be sued over housing Page 3 of 3 "To single out Eagan is ludicrous," Awada said in defending her city's performance. "What they're asking is to recreate the nature of the Metro Council, the nature of how cities get involved in the private market. Their goal would be to tell people what to sell their houses for. We might as well take down the American flag." The suit is being financed with grants from three foundations, including the McKnight Foundation and the Minneapolis Foundation. The nonprofit Housing Preservation Project is providing legal representation for the Alliance for Metropolitan Stability and for the Community Stabilization Project. The Miller O'Brien firm is representing the Interfaith Council on a pro bono basis. The legal team includes Tim Thompson, a key attorney in the Hollman lawsuit and settlement. Thompson began researching the possibility of a suit based on the Land Use Planning Act in the early 1990s. Adams said that if the lawsuit prevails, there would be no demolition of housing units as happened in the Hollman case. — Steve Brandt is at sbrand'. tartribune.com or 612-673-4438.

The Alliance for Families and Children of Hennepin County is facilitating a Community Resources Mapping Project in your community. The process involves summarizing lists of school, community and county resources that serve children ages 0-18 and, where appropriate, their families. The product is a report for each of the Hennepin County School Districts identifying existing services and gaps in services. Groups of community members, including school staff, county staff, and community leaders will meet in September and October to review the reports and recommend coordinated actions that fill gaps in services, more effective use of services and encourage school-community partnerships to meet local needs. All services for children sponsored through the Parks and Recreation Department is an example of information we need. Additionally, your city may sponsor other activities for children only or children and their families. LaVonne Leih from my office will be contacting you by telephone. Please do everything you can to assist her. We will make sure you get a copy of the report when it is complete. And, we will ask the Family Service Collaborative Coordinator in your community to invite you to the September and October community meetings. Your input and partnership on next steps for action is important. Please don't hesitate to call if you have questions. Sincerely, James R. Boyle Director 6300 Walker Street, #109, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 (952)928-6725 / (952)928-6728 fax NORTHWEST HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL noResearch, Planning, and Coordination of Human Seruices r4&S City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd.Plymouth, MN 55447 ATTN: Dwight Johnson Dear Dwight: Last night at the special study session, one of the council members asked a question regarding the payment from the City to NWHHSC. In June, the City of Plymouth sent a check for approximately half (yearly amount is $13,125 and not $12,600 as indicated). The decision was to not pay the other half until the vote was taken on whether or not to withdraw from the agency. Because the decision has not been made and it sounds as if the final vote will not take place until the end of September, I am requesting the City of Plymouth pay for the months of July, August and September. The amount for the three months is $3,281. This is based on the 2002 yearly contribution of $13,125 divided by 12, which comes to 1,093 per month. I would appreciate if you expedited this invoice as quickly as possibly as the City of Plymouth is the only City who has not paid for the year. If you have any questions, please contact me at 493-2802. Respectfully, Kathleen J.
