SUBJECT: Proposed Method for Interjurisdictional Mobility In
Section 8 Existing Housing Program
PURPOSE.: - To facilitate greater housing opportunities
for'low and moderate income families through the use
of existing resources throughout the Twin. Cities
Metropolitan Area,
CONSTRAINTS
1) Each cooperating PHA has an ACC with BUD which
provides for a maximum number of certificates
of participation to be issued and a maximum
amoUnt-,of funding to be available to that PHA..
2) Each cooperating PBA has adopted Admission
Policies for the selection of applicants to
receive certificates, including preferences for
such selection. These policies are unique to
each Cooperating PHA, reflecting needs and particu-
lar circumstances within the jurisdiction of that PBA.
Z. a
3) Each . cooperating PHA hat a defined area of
operation. (jurisd.iction) and thus has the: staff
capability to handle an ACC within those areas only.
METHOD OF OPERATION
The basic method sof operation willinvolve an exchange
of certificates between cooperating PSA's on a monthly
basis. To accomplish and facilitate this exchange,
the cooperating PBA's agree as follows:.
1t Each cooperating PHA will set aside 5% of its ACC
unit authority for potential exchange of certifi-
cates each month. This 5% will be made available
from the over -issue of certificates allowed by
BVD and will be used on a first-come, first-served
basis at the request of other cooperating PHA's.
2) Applicants holding a valid certificate from one
PHA and wanting to locate within the jurisdiction
of a different PHA must request an exchange of
certificates from the original PBA. The original
PHA will promptly contact the new PEA to ascertain.
the pVO4lahij ty of certificates_snd request a
trade.
3) The new PEA will honor such requests on a first-
come basis up to the maximum allowed during that
month.
4) The original PEA will notify the new PBA as to
the name of the family, eligible number of bed-
rooms, and gross family contribution. The
original PHA will retain the original certificate
and direct the & mily to the new PHA to receive a
new certificate and papers.
5) The original PHA will record such trade as a
transfer for statistical records and make the
certificate available for reissue at the next
selection.
6) The new PHA will issue the new certificate and
provide inform&tion and papers to the family.
7) The new PBA will exchange.the transfer certificate
to one within the program allocation just prior to
a new monthly selection. This should prevent
oversubscribing by total program and by unit size.
3-
8) Selection of applicants from PHA's waiting list
would be accomplished after satstsfy.ing the
transfer ce.rtificste-s which were processed during
the previous month..
9) Information about certificate exchange shall be
provided by each cooperating PRA during the briefing
of applicants.
10) Information. about vacancies &md resources through-
out the metropolitan area will be provided by the
Metropolitan Council Ytelocation Clearinghouse and.
by the cooperating PSA's on a shared basis. .

FROM: Milt Dale
SUBJECT: Agenda Items for June 25, 1979 Regular Meeting
Presently the City's Home Improvement Grant Program is working with 15 different families
to provide for improved housing to meet their needs. This is a considerable increase
over last year when only 5 families -were being assisted. Staff has provided a menet sent
to the Housing Regabilitation Committee at its last meeting, i.e., June 20th, for the
Commissioners perusal. Also included are financial statements relative to Year IV funding.
Let me add. a brief note about the.Plymouih housing Rehabi11tation. Committee; inasmuch . as
they have servee.faithfully and diligently for the last three years in a very non -lime-
light capacity. They have provided me with excellent support, pertainent input and lots
of encouragement. The newest member,Mark Eckes, has proven to be an exceptional addition
as he adds a wisdom and common sense knowledge that has already proven invaluable. It is
my opinion that the City is very fortunate to have such hard-working unsung (and upald!)
citizens in its midst. It says alot for the caliber of involved Plymouth people.
The Metro Council recently held a public hearing on revisions to the Housing Guide Chapter.
Staff has reviewed the revisions and it I's staff's opinion that much more thorough anal-
ysis is needed in the area of a housing market study. Metro Council's proposed goal to
have metro communities provide some 99,850 units of subsidized housing in ten years will
prove to be horrendously expensive. Analyzing this cost is paramount to good planning.
Logic says that the greater the number of subsidized units, the greater amount of tax-
payers dollars will be required to pay the bill. The more dollars non -subsidized house-
holds pay for other people's housing, the less dollars they will have to pay for their
own housing. the final result could be that everyone will end up on a housing subsidy!!
Also greater promotional efforts should be made to acquaint all of the metro tax -paying
public of the implications of a "Fair -share" allocation plan. At a recent meeting held
at the Hennepin County Government Center to acquaint the general public with the housing
Guide Chapter revisions, only 20 people showed up. A program with such significant
social and financial implications needs to be clearly understood by the general public.
More accurate and current data needs to be utilized by the Metro Council prior to alloca-
tion plan revisions. The use of the 1970 Cenw and outdated local emprehenslve plans
will not result in a fair allocation plan. (If any allocation .plan Is fair!)
In conclusion, staff recommends that no revision be made to the Housing Guide Chapter until:

HRA Agenda
June 21,1979
1. A thorough cost analysis be undertaken to determine the implications of a
housing subsidy program.
2. The 1980 Census, a Metro Area Housing Market Analysis and current comprehensive
plans of local governments are available.
Attached are the findlroggs and recommendations of the Association of Metropolitan Munici-
palities Housing Crwittee. Staff generally concurs, and if the N -RA directs, staff will
submit a written statement to the Metropolitan Council's record.
The firm of Moen and Peottila. will be presenting to the Plymouth HRA a proposal as to how
much a complete "full-dress" audit versus an abbreviated audit will cost. The full audit
will include a review of all Section 8 procedures, i.e. are we following everything as
per HUD requirements in a?mT ";;ng the Section 8 program. If our auditor reviews res
in this area then it i.: unli. int HUD regional office will have to review us as they
HUD) generally accept the re-*.-,* report of the auditing firm.
An added note on our Section 8 program regards to one of the City's apartment complexes,
i.e. Village Square. I have received several complaints about maintenance of this building
and in my inspection of the premises I would say most of these complaints are justified.
I intend on writing a letter to the management stating my inspection findings. One of
the problems is that the owners are in Washington, D.C. and so communication is difficult.

SUBJECT: Agenda Items for June 20, 1979 meeting
Staff has recently updated the Hone Im rovermint Grant.Pro ram Allocations (by
projects) thru June 7, 1979. Aso, I nave preparoo a listing or homeowners
requesting funding along with the total amount of funds they have been assigned or
will require to do certain.improvements. After this listing was compiled. I deter-
mined we still have a proximately $100000 + in City funds. This $10,000 includes
money left over from Year III and for Year IV. (.the "Year" designations refer
to "funding years" for. Community .Develo.pment.9lock Grant monies "turned over to .
the City by the federal government.) 'Year IV will end on July 319 1979. Incident-
ally Year 11 allocations amount to another $30,000 while we are projected to
receive another $13,000 + from the State of Minnesota's NHFA for the next year,
ie August 11 1979 to July 31. 1980. In summary, I would say the Program is in fine
shape - doing its intended job yet financially solvent. Incidentally, if any
committee members have any suggestions as to how they would like to see a dollar
by dollar accounting made (frequency and format), please feel free to contact me.
Since I'm not an accountant, my way of doing things may be confusing to others.
Following. I will relate the status of the various rehabilitation projects in
Plymouths
Doris Odoms
The work on this house has not yet been completed since the "old" contractor,
s Roger Hendrickso:., has not yet 11 signed off on it. (I have revised downward his
payment so he probably is sitting on it until he really needs the money!) I do
have a bid from a contractor to finish up Hendrickson's work and the homeowner is
satisfied with the bid so 1 will contact him to get going as soon as Hendrickson
signs off. The State is very explicit as to how we are to take one contractor off a
Job and put another one on, ie us follows:
1. City notifies contractor work is unsatisfactory :and he has two weeks to
make "amends". This should be done by letter.
2. After two weeks, and it the work is stili unsatisfactory, the contractor
is told by letter that he is dismissed.,
3. An "impartial completion certificate" must be signed by the contractor,
the homeowner and the City.
4. Form 6601, Amendment Request Certificate, ;a completed by the City, signed

Rage 2
Housing Rehabilitatibn,Commission
June 14,1979
by the new contractor and homeowner and mailed (along with the above cor-
respondence and "impartial completion certificate") to MHFA for their deter-
mination.
As you can see, some time and work is involved in this process. Presently I am
waiting on Hendrickson with the new painter and carpenter cooling their heels on the
sidelines.
In regards to the painting at this residence, I would like the Committee to take a
careful look it the bid by -Dave Butterfass. It is rather high, ie $2,150 but there
Is slot of work on this job. I have mailed him a letter in response to Mrs. Odom's
willingness to use a dark colored paint, ie thereby reducing the labor and
paint used.
Terri Miller
This week I took two carpenters thru this residence and explained to them the work
items to be corrected. Again, this is a Hendrickson job that "turned sour'. Painting
on this house will be done by Dave Butterfass. There is some indication the home-
owners will be selling her home yet this year. If so, the money expended will come
back to Hennepin County and the City for further rehabilitation work. ("It is now
the policy of the County -to --make every- effort to keep the money in the. City where
the house was sold."- Mark flmberg, Grant Administrator, Hennepin County)
Trixy.Perry
Contrary to may last memo (of April 16, 1979), the ^meowner is not completely
satisfied(and with good reason) as work here is still deficient. Storm doors do
not close fully and a incomplete seal resulta. Again, I'll be getting someon- else
to redo Hendrickson's "work".
Mary Snow
Painting has been completed here and.the owner is 100% satisfied. (I'm 98t
satisfied but then I'm a perfectionist!) The work was excellent and Dave Butterfass,
a school teacher, was the painter. I thoroughly checked out his references in
advance and found them all in order. The carpentery work will be done by John Ipsen
who is doing the Cox job on East Medicine Lake.
Steven Kmetz
The status here is still as last time. Reroofing, pair -ling and caulking are
left to be done.
Rose Mosiman
Painting recently was done by the Plymouth Jaycees and my inspection on June 13th
gives this job a very satisfactory rating. Concrete steps and insulation work still
remain to be done.

Terri Rodekuhr
The State recently granted approval to this applicant with no repayment agreement
required. Total grant was for $7,400. Contractors were inToormed by the applicant
and work has proceeded. On June 13th I made an inspection to see how things were
progressing.. The bathroom is completed and the work is excellent in my opinion.
I will be having the City plumbing inspector verify my.opintop however..)
Mrs. Glenn Cox
Approval was granted by the
starting on Monday June 11th
carpenters started, so this
have been out on this job a.
Mrs. Lula Winnen
State to this applicant on May 3,1979 with work
by the electrical contractors. A day or two later the
project should be completed within a week or so. I
couple times checking progress over the last week.
Yesterday (Junel3th) I received a "Proceed to Work order" from the State for
work up to $1,795 as per the furnace installation and duct work. I will be
contacting the furnace man and the homeowner today so the job can be done.
I stopped by the other day to say "Ni" to Mrs. Winnen. She's in fine shape
for being 84 years old.) -
Mrs. Peal
Yesterday I checked with Mrs. Peal regarding a bid by a painting contractor.
She found it acceptable and. I have written the contractor to proceed with "all speed".
I am looking for a second plumbing bid. Jim Ford from Hennepin County has assured
me that the SAC charges and sewer and water connection charges are allowable to be
paid with CDBG money, however MHFA does not allow payment of these items. Mrs. Peal's
facome is over the State's $5,000 ammual income limit so we will be using City funds.
Mrs. Erna Gruber
Earlier this week I visited this lady's home with two carpenters and assessed her
roof situation. She has one bid in but it is rather high. The basic problem is a
roof that has a rather flat pitch to it and very little air movement between the
roof and the interior ceiling. The end result is ice dams and water back-up in winter
with lots of leaking. Presently we are exploring ways of resolving this situation.
Mrs. Virginia Borg
This week I inspected Mrs. Borg's home to see what needs to be done. Windows are
all in need of reputtying, scraping and painting. Also,. a rear entry -way needs repairs
as does a wall between the garage and house. Lots of water ;seepage here that should
be stopped.

Julia Hennek
Mrs. Hennek recently qualified for the Grant Program and would by eligible for
State funding but this year's deadline has passed. She needs painting and a gas
furnace and water heater. Some bids have been received. About $2,000 could be
expended here.
Anna and Norman Bonstrom
On Monday, June lath I visited this house with a couple carpenters to determine
work to be done. The house needs a new roof, new windows and electrical repairs.
5,000 may be needed to do all the jobs (and then we could use some more $!!)
The house is owned by a couple who are in their 80's. They live off of social security
and make about $5,950 (combined income). This means they are eligible for the
City's program but not the State's.
John and Donna Whitman
This couple live off a very sparse writer's income of under $7,200 a year. (using
income averaging it is less than this but he expects a "good"year..) Their house
is sound but it does need some new exterior doors and some better weatherstripping.
He would also like the committee to consider allowing.him a wood.burning stove to
reduce his reliance on oil heat. ke has agreed to submitting some cost estimates
for each item. Ido see some merit in his request and hope he will have provided me
with some more information by Wednesday meeting.
Miscellaneous
Yesterday I stopped by Mrs. Purinak's house as the Finance Director informed me
that Mrs. Purinak's water bill is climbing at an astronomical rate. I found out
she has a steady leak in her basement water closet. I'm having a plumber stop by
to fix it. (She's been using over 400,000 gallons of water in less than a month and
a half!!)
Payments to contractors still is a problem. This week I was informed by staff
person that a billing I submitted ir. February of 1979 still has not been paid. I
will check further into this matt..

AMEND=NTS TO THE SOUSING CHAPTER
OF THE +
METROPLITAN DEVELOPMENT GUIDE
Public Hearing Draft dated May, 1979)
The proposed amendments to the Housing Chapter have
been reviewed by the Mill through its Housing Advisory
Committee. The Committee report (comments and recommenda-
tions) was reviewed and approved by the 'MIM Board of Directors
on June 7, 1979 and is attached.
Whenever the word "committee" is used. within the context
of this report, it should be interpreted to mean the AMM
Housing .Advisory Committee and the Board of Directors.
Prepared by )AIM Housing Advisory -Committee - June 5, 1979

COlS.UMS ANN/OR RECOMMEZQDATION3
P,ag, 1, Po]; icY 22, 2nd sentence:
Cbsmge to read as follows:
The council encourages local governments tb use these standards
in #het area aher9 the communitY so that low and moderate in-
come housing opport tles are to be can be offered. 4a she
eeMue4sgr
Rationale: The ANN Housing Committee feels the original word-
ing could be interpreted to imply that segregation
or isolation of housing for low and moderate income persons is
preferred. The Committee feels that to the greatest extent
possible, lower and moderate cost housing should be blended in
with regular market rate housing.
Page S. 3rd indented paragraph. 3rd line:
Comment: The Committee is not clear as to what is meant by the
phrase "and HRA applications".
Amendment C Table 10, page 10-14 "Fair Share Allocation of
Area -wide Need . . ."
Comment: Even though it is implied in several places in the
Housing Guide, there appears to be little coordina-
tion or correlation between the total household projection
number given to earn community in their system statement and
the "fair share allocation number" for low and moderate income
housing and modest cost housing; i.e.. many communities have
very little existing lower cost housing
available and, there-
fore, much of the "fair share allocation" would have to be pro-
vided through new construction. This appears to be virtually
impossible for some communities to achieve, based on the total
household projection numbers and the cost of new construction
in today's market.
Amendment 11, Table 22.. Page.30 Income Limits by Income Group
and Household Size, November,
1978" (also page 151 of current
Housing Guide Chapter)
Comment: The Committee suggests that the terminology in the
Housing Guide Chapter as pertains to income limits
for housing, be changed to be consistent with federal and state
terminology. It is sometimes confusing for cities which have to
deal with the Metropolitan Council, State, and Federal Governments
when different terms are used but which apply to the same date;
i.e., in Table 22, change "low" to "very low", change "moderate"
to "lower", and put a new beading over both columns entitled,
Low and Moderate".
Amendment 5. Pace 8-14 and Appendix (Ten year fair share allocation
plan for Low and Moderate In-
come Housing opportunities)
1-
Comment: The Comiaittee mould like to commend the Metropolitan
Council and its staff in the effort to be responsive
to the testimony received at the Public Hearing last July on the
Allocation plan. Just about all the testimony was critical of the
lair Share Allocation formula and plan for low and moderate income
housing opportunities. While the Council and staff are to be commended
In this effort, we feel the new plan and formula also has serious flaws
and should not be implemented as is.
In our judgment, the proposed smendments to the Ten-year Fair Share
Allocation Plan significantly departs from current Metropolitan.
Council, Federal, and Statc policies directed towards the distribution
of housing assistance prograMi.
The proposed allocation plan, if adopted, would establish the processes
whereby the distribution of housing assistance is based solely on each
community's capacity to share metropolitan needs through 1990. This
represents a clear departure from current and past federal, state,
metropolitan and local policies which require each community to assess
Its own needs in addition, taking into account the need to provide
locational choice and mobility for low and moderate income families
residing elsewhere in the metropolitan area.
The difference between the present and proposed allocation plan results
from using a new formula. The present formula involves the measuring
and weighing of factors consistent with federal and state enabling
legislation governing need assessments. The proprosed formula results
In the distribution of housing assistance based solely on a formula
which purports to measure a community's capacity to absorb low-income
families. Whether or not a community has families currently in need
of assistance is not considered.
The Committee does not support the new allocation formula. The
Committee finds that the proposed amendment results in an allocation
of funding for housing assistance program which is not consistent with:
1) the implicit and explicit policies of national housing legislation
and the Metropolitan Council Housing Guide chapter directed toward
achieving the dispersion of housing opportunities for low and
moderate income families throughout the metropolitan area;
2) requirements for housing analyses , , set forth in the proposed
Housing Plan Review Guidelines" and "Guidelines for Review of
Housing Assistance Plans";
3) the requirement for assessment of the need for housing assistance
as mandated by the State of Minnesota Municipal Housing. and Re-
development Act;
4) the requirement for the assessment of factors such as employment
opportunities, special population needs and needs of existing
low income families as mandated by national housing legislation
and regulations;
5) also the formula does not appear to give adequate whx;ht,,to
capacity to substantial rehabilitation as a method -6i vrovieoo
low and moderate income housing. two
2-
ftrther, the Committee questions the need for major change in
the allocation plan at this time. No study or performance audit,
at least one that the Committee is aware of, has been undertaken
by federal or .state agencies, or the Metropolitan Council itself,
as to the effectiveness of the current allocation.plan. Secondly,
the proposed goals of the Allocation Plan will not effect a change
In local planning efforts.
A performance audit should be conducted on the plans, programs, and
guidelines set forth in the current Housing Chapter prior to pro-
posing major amendments. This performance audit should evaluate
major elements of the Chapter including, among others.
a) the effectiveness of the current metropolitan housing
strategy;.
b) the effectiveness of the current allocation plan relative
to:
1) identified community needs (number of low and
moderate income families weeding assistance in
each community) and number of families being
assisted;
2) providing locational choice to low and moderate
Income families;
3) the effectiveness of Council ranking of housing
proposals (number and types of units, location versus
actual);
A) the identified needs of low and moderate income
families (number of bedrooms, handicapped units
and family versus elderly); and
c) the relationship of the Chapter policies and goals to current
national,. state, and local policies and goals.
These elements of the Housing Chapter should be evaluated before
a change in the current allocation formula takes place. Literally
hundreds of hours of public hearings were held on the original
premise of the housing chapter and how do we (public officials,
planners, and citizens) know whether or not the proposed changes
to the allocation plan are warranted?
The proposed amendments to the allocation plan do not supersede
goals and objectives set forth in each community's systems state-
ments. Communities within the metropolitan area are well into the
process of developing their comprehensive plans. The housing goals
and objectives set forth in such community'b systems statements are
not amended at this time. The proposed amendments to the Allocation
Plan are .only subject to voluntary compliance in each community,
Additionally, the new formula also contains a serious defect in the
methodology for determining the fair share range for low and moder-
ate income housing. The defect exists in the use of the number of
multi -family apartment units to reflect the capacity to use exist-
ing leased housing subsidy programs.
3-
8xisting leased housing subsidy programs involve limits on the maxi-
mum rent that can be charged for a dwelling unit under these pro-
grams. Existing multi -family apartment units may or may not be po-
tentially leasable under these programs depending on whether or not
their rentsfall within these rent limits. Thus, the actual measure
of a sommunity's capacity to use these programs is the number of units
It has with the program rent limits, not the total number of multi-
family units in the community.
From the point of view of the capacity formula, this fact alone would
not distort the fair share ranges that result. The distortion is
produced by the wide variation betweencommunities in the percentage
of multifamily apartment units that each has within the rent limits.
Experience of the Metropolitan Council, with its Section 8 existing
housing program, confirms this wide variation between communities.
Some communities have high percentages of their units within the rent
limits while others, such as Minnetonka, have very few units within
these limits. As an example, Minnetonka has 1,430 multi -family housing
units but none of these are within the Fair Market Pent limits for
the Section 8 existing housing program.
The proposed methodology for determining the fair share ranges should
be modified to employ the number of multi -family apartment units within
the fair market rent limits, rather than the total number of multi-
family apartment units, to reflect capacity to use existing leased
housing subsidy programs.
Appendix 1. Amendment I. Page A-2, 6th line of 2nd Paragraph:
Comment: This paragraph states that a community is going to be judged
to a certain degree as to whether it adopts the "standard"
listed on page A-3 or other "alternatives" to meet its housing imple-
mentation responsibilites. The Committee suggests that a specific
listing be included as to what are some acceptable "alternatives".
It may not be possible for many communities to change their land use
standards at this point in time.
Appendix 2. page A-7. Section I: Data Summary and Analysis of the
Existing Housing Situation
Comment: The Committee feels that most of this data (that is,
reliable, up to date data) is very difficult for a community
to come by without incurring a great expense. Unless a community
actually conducts its own survey, its basic source of information is
the 1970 census data. However, the census data is so old that it is
all but meaningless. Also, there is no consistent standard to follow,
so it will be virtually impossible to make any regional judgments
based on the information coming from the individual cities. The
Committee has no firm recommendation at this point in time, but would
suggest that the Metropolitan Council review this situation very care-
fully.

General CoMen't a'nd Recommendation:
The AMY BAC would once again renew its previous recommendation that
a.Rousing.Market Analysis 1)e conducted by the Metropolitan Council.
It is the Cam®ittee's understanding.that the Metropolitan Council
has budgeted a relatively modest amount of money to do some of the
Work envisioned in a thorough.8ousing Market Analysis. While this
Is com®endable, it.is quite apparent, after reviewing the proposed
amendments to the Housing Committee Chapter and the Housing Guide
Chapter itself, much more information is critically needed in order
to formulate a workable housing.plan for the 7 -county metropolitan
area.
Major Conclusion:
Significant amendments to the allocation plan and formula of the
Rousing Guide can be better developed after information is avail-
able from the following activities/events:
1. Comprehensive plans of l.ocul governments
2. The 1980 Federal Census
2. Metropolitan Area Housing. Market Analysis
The proposed Appendices T and II provide adequate guidelines for
the review of comprehensive plans and, therefore, there is no press-
ing need do revise the "fair share allocation" plan and formula at
this point in time.

MEMO
SUBJECT: Agenda items for August 27, 1979 regular meeting
Presented for the Commissioners consideration is the proposed 1980 HRA Budget.
This budget should be reviewed by the Commissioners and a recommendation should be
made to the City Council for their action. The budget is basically quite similar
to last years.
As an attachment I have listed the NRA programs and their present status as in terms
of outreach as of August 12, 1979. This has been done to give the Commissioners some
idea of the present scope of both.th.e Section 8 Rent Assistance Program and the Home
Improvement Grant Program presently operating within the City.
For the past several months I have informed the Commissioners of the topic of Inter -
Jurisdictional Mobility within the Section 8 Rent Assistance Program.
Attached is this agreement for the Housing Authorities review and action. This agreement
is between the following Housing Authorities: Metropolitan Council, Minneapolis, City
of St. Paul, City of Bloomington, Dakota County, Scott County, South St. Paul, St. Louis
Park and City of Plymouth. Basically the agreement is to begin on September 1, 1979 and
end August 31, 1980 with 5% of each housing authorities unit authorization under the
Section 8 program to be used for potential exchange of certificates. The agreement may
be terminated upon 60 day notice by any of the participants. Attached is a copy of this
agreement.
Staff is already aware of one request to be transferred from the Metro Council
jurisdiction to the City of Plymouth. This individual desires to live close to her son
and daughter who both live in Plymouth. In the past, I have received other request
of this nature. It is my recommendation that the housing authority act on this
agreement and approve it for the period requested September 1, 1979 to August 31, 19,0.
The Housing Rehab committee has been very busy reviewing applicants requests for various
rihab work. I have attached a recent memo to the Housing Rehabilitation committee which
indicates the scope of some of their recent work.
In regards to the Housing Rehab program, staff received a letter several weeks ago that
is attached to this memorandum from a Carolyn Rudekur. Her husband Terry Rudekur was
injured last year in a construction accident and is presently paralyzed and has received
handicap assistance through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency Program. The total
amount of the grant received by the Rudekur's has been $7,500.00. They have now made a
requrst to the City for additional funds to make more improvements on the interior of
their home to make the house more handicap accessible. I have reviewed this matter with
the .Housing Rehab committee and the Housing Rehab committee has directed staff to look
further into this request.
60
In this regard, I have mailed a copy of the letter from Carolyn Rudekur and the
materials requested for improvements to their house to Jim Bloom accessibility
consultant with handicap housing services.with the State of Minnesota. He has
assured me that he will review the materials and indicate to me whether this
request is justifiable or not. The Housing Rehab committee would like to know
from the Housing Authority whether additional funds should be extended to the
Rudekhur's as the grant limits for the City are $5,000.00 and for the state
5,000.00.
On August 30, the City will be visited by an inspector from the Department of
Housing and Urban Development. The inspector will be visiting six (6) units
within Plymouth to determine whether the units are structurally sound by HUD
standards. The staff will accompany the inspector on his rounds and the tenants
and the apartment manager have been notified of the inspection that will be
made on that day. The apartments that have been selected on a randum sample
basis are Plymouth Colony, The Wellington House, The place, Four Seasons Villa
and Village Square. This inspection is part of a nationwide special housing
quality standard survey designed to inspect Section 8 existing housing units
throughout the State of Minnesota.
The City of Plymouth has been informed by Hennepin County that the Community
Development Block Grant program is presently under revision. Hennepin County
will review all Community Development Block Grant,applications by Hennpin
County's criteria. In the past individual communities within Hennpin County
received Community Development Block Grant money on a pro -rated basis. However,
this will no longer be the case as now Hennepin County will be reviewing
individual community projects relating these projects to an established:
strategy. A more detailed memo on this matter will be directed to the Plymouth
City Council through Blair Tremere. Action must be forthcoming from Plymouth
before August 31, 1979. Those communities not choosing to participate in the
revised Community Development Block Grant program will not be receiving grant
monies in the fiscal year 1980-81. A recommendation to the Plymouth City Council
regarding this matter may be in order.

MEMO
TO: HOUSING REHABILITATION COMMITTEE
FROM: MILT DALE
SUBJECT: REHABILITATION AGENDA ITEMS FOR THE AUGUST 22, 1979 MEETING
Two new applications have presently been received in our office. One is for a. Ruth
Schmidt who lives at 1030 Magnolia Lane. The other is for a Rose Dahl who lives at 3420
Xenium Lane North. Both applicants still di not have their income verified and both
applicants are divorcees with families living at home with them. I have interviewed
both applicants and I have inspected their homes. IL.. appears that should both applicants
be eligible there could be a need for between $3,000 to $4,000 worth of work done on
both residences. One applicant's request is for.waterproofing the basement and, at
present; she uses her basement for day care purposes. The size of her day care operation
is small, probably, four to five children and this income along with child support from
her husband appears to be her only source of income_ The basement was wet upon my field
check of the house and it would seem that this is a legitimate need. The other applicant
appears to have a need for some insulation and also for a new roof and vents in the roof.
Including these two new applicants we will have, at present, about 17 projects at one
stage of completion or incompletion as you prefer, going at one time.
MISCELLANEOUS REHABILITATION PROJECTS
1. TERRY AND CAROLYN RODEKUHR
Recently, I mailed a letter to Jim Bloom, Accessibility Consu-tarit, with Handicapped
Housing Service, and in this letter I requested a review of the =,trrials from the
Rodekuhr's and their request for additional funds from the City. At this time, I do
not have a response from Mr. Bloom, but I am anticipating this response will be forth-
coming prior to our meeting on August 22nd. I have included my letter to him and the
letter from the Rodekuhr's for your information. The contractor's bill for earlier work
done through the State has been mailed into the State and I assume payment has been made,
however, I have not received verification from the State at this time.
2. JOHN WHITMAN
Mr. Whitman was iPA0;r C- --'the action of the Committee, that they would assist in
putting insulatio.t mw :;:cors on his house but would not assist in placing a wood -
burning stove in. Me As of this date, Mr. Whitman has not provided me with
additional bids for the insulation or for the doors. He did call me on the phone
to inform me that the wood doors were not rated at a high enough R rating to make them
worth while. While he indicated that metal doors were considerably more expensive, they
also hw a much higher R rating. This information I would like to verify with our
Build:.- Inspector.

Rehab. Agenda Items for 8/22/79 Meeting
3. TRIXIE PERRY
In a field inspection of this house, during the last part of May, I noticed several
deficiencies as per Roger Hendrickson.'s work. These I would tike to have remedied and
have contacted a contractor to make an estimate and have the work completed. Basically,.
the work consists of some adjustments to the storm doors so they work properly, some
minor repairs on the outside in the addition to soffits on the roof overhang.
4. DORIS ODOMS
The work done by Roger Hendrickson has been repaired by John Ipsen and his son. She is
satisfied with the repairs and payment will be made shortly to the contractor. The painter
should begin work sometime this week with completion scheduled for later this month. She
has agreed to one coat of paint as per a suggestion by the Rehab Committee. The latest
bid for this project for the painting only is approximately $1,500.
5. TERRI MILLER
This project has created a great deal of Staff time due to some complications that are
rather unique. The. Homeowner has a boyfriend who insists on telling his girlfriend
exactly how work should be done. The boyfriend's.tendency to take command has resulted
in one painter walking off the job. Unfortunately, the pa.inter was not finished at the
time. Hopefully, this long-standing incomplete project will yet be resolved before Snow
starts to V y this winter. (However, I am nottaking any bets.)
6. MRS. COX
All the work has been completed at this residence, except for the removal of a power -
line mast. On a recent visit to the Homeowner, she did indicated displeasure with the
charges. I intend to be in contact with the contractor, John Ipsen on this project to
straighten out any difference of opinion. According to the contractor, there were
additional costs incurred.
7. KATHLEEN PEAL
Presently, the painter is almost complete with his job. The work looks very good and
the Homeowner is very pleased. I have also contacted the plumbing contractor in regards
to the installation of water and sewer. It is my hope that this work will start within
the next few weeks.
S. ERNA GRUBER
No work has yet begun on this The contractor has been selected and I would
anticipate that this work shoult ,4s ..,.rne in late August or early September.
9. VIRGINIA BORG
I am still looking for the second bid on 16 project. I would like to give a new
contractor a chance at this job. Work should commence sometime in late August or early
September in order to avoid the upcoming cold months.

Work still has not started on this residence. 'art of the problem has been due to the
fact that the Owner and her son-in-law have some difference of opinion which contractor
should be employed to do the work. I believe I have straightened this probleir out at
this time. Hopefully, work will start within the next week on the roof, on the windows,
and the insulation work. There is also electrical work to be done on this house.
12. MARYSNOW
Nearly all the work has been completed at this residence except several minor items as
follows:
1. Cnimney repair of a couple bricks whit; osts should not exceed $25.00.
2. Gutter work on the front gutters.
3. .11ndow cranks can be repaired in two of the windows.
All other work has been completed, such as the painting and the carpentry work.
13. STEVEN KMETZ
Work is now underway on this house after some long delays due to an earlier contractor's
inability tc perform as per his bid. Presently, Dave Butterfass is doing the painting
and has nearly completed the job. The roofer is Fred Wells and he began work on Monday,
August 13th and should be finished sometime yet this week. As well, this Homeowner needs
a new front door and I'm recommending to the Committee that the expenditure of funds for
a new front door be made.
14. ROSE MOSIMAN
The pai:,ting has been completed at this house but added insulation work and venting still
has to be done. I have contacted several insulation companies to submit bids and I am
anticipating bids to arrive from one company by the end of this week. She also needs
repairs of her concrete steps and I have not yet found a contractor for this job.
15. LOLA WINNEN
The furnace at this residence has been installed. The workmanship was of very high quality
and in the event that a new furnace need to be installed in another house, this contractor
would be high on the list to receive the bid. The Homeowner was very pleased with the job
as was our building Inspector and yours truly.

MEMO
TO: Plymouth Housing and Redevelopment Authority Commissioners
FROM: Mi 1 t Dale, Plymouth HRA Staff
SUBJECT; Special Meeting to be held on Monday, November 19, 1979 at 6:16 P.M.
Staff wishes to inform the HRA Commissioners that a special meeting has been calked
by Commission Chairman, John Spaeth, in regards to several matters that should be
discussed prior to the next regular meeting in December. This is due to the some-
what urgent nature of the items scheduled for this meeting.
Recently I wrote a Section 8 renter by the name of Deborah Radtke to indicate to her
that her Section 8 Certificate to allow her to participate in the program in Plymouth
was terminated due to irresponsible behavior on her part. Ms. Radtke then engaged
Ann Bartsch, a Legal Aide attorney, to protest as not adequate grounds for termination
of her certificate and that the Section 8 certificate could not be taken away from her
without due process of law. A copy of this letter from Ann Bartsch is enclosed for
your perusal. Staff then informed the City Attorney, Herb Lefler, Sr., of his receipt
of this letter. Attorney Lefler wrote staff a letter advising that the Certificate of
Family Participation be restored to Ms. Radtke at this time. This letter is also
attached to this memo. Further conversation with Herb Lefler established that a meet-
ing should be held with the Plymouth Housing Authority to determine whether a pre-
termination hearing be held and what procedures would be required to be followed for
such a hearing.
Staff has restored the certificate to Ms. Radtke as directed by the City Attorney.
Also, I have provided the City Attorney with a list of complaints against Ms. Radtke.
It is staff's opinion, that a pre -termination hearing be held promptly, as it is
staff's opinion that good and proper grounds exist to terminate the certificate. The
wholesale abuse of private rental property by any person on the Rent Assistance Program
should not be allowed to continue. All of us pay a very high price for this type of
irresponsibility. It is my further suggestion, that the Plymouth HRA adopt regulations
which can be included as part of the Section 8 admission and occupancy policies for
the Plymouth Housing Authority's Section 8 Program. These regulations would spell
out clearly what procedures would be followed prior to termination of any renter's
Section 8 Certificate. A copy of these regulations is attached.
Related to this matter, is a letter I recently sent to Phil Katzung Metro Council
HRA Director. This letter is requesting that Mr. Katzung, through the Metro HRA
generate a list of problem Section 8 renters.. In a later telephone conversation with
Mr. Katzung, he indicated to me that a meeting would be held at Metro Council on
Tuesday, November 13, 1979 at 10:00 A.M. at which time the matter of interjurisdic-
tional mobility of Section 8 renters and the matter of problem renters would be
discussed. I shall be at that meeting to see what solutions and opinions would be.
forthcoming.

Also at our meeting of November 19th, it may be appropriate to discuss the proposal
by a firm called Dominium Group, Incorporated inasmuch as they are proposing that
the Plymouth HRA act either as the "parent entity" or serve as the "administrator"
for a 40 -unit townhouse project proposed to be built in Plymouth. This project
would serve low and moderate income large sized families having three and four bed-
room rental townhouse units. In response to the developer's request to meet with
the Plymouth Housing Authority and garner their support for the Section 11(b) financ-
ing, staff has inquired of the Local Area Office of HUD to determine what "pitfalls"
exist in this method of Financing for the Plymouth HRA. In this regard, attached are
the "highlights" submitted by the developer, a letter from the developer, a letter
from Oink Buddtngh, area counsel, for the local area office of HUD and the Federal
Register that relates to tax exemption of obligations of public housing agencies.
It is my intention to get one or two gentlemen representing the Dominium Group,
Incorporated for our November meeting.
Also, at the upcoming November meeting, staff would like the Plymouth Housing Authority
to select an auditor from the auditing firms that have submitted proposals to the
City. Attached are the three firms that have, at this time, submitted proposals.
Staff would recommend that the firm of Moen and PentiIIa be retained to do the audit
work inasmuch as they do have some familiarity with the City"'s financial picture.
