Fulles 4623 Xeoe Lane North Plymouth, MN 55446 Dear Mr. Fulles: I am writing to you on bdW of the Plymouth MRA's Board of Commissioners in response to your letter. The Plymouth HILA has operated a Section 8 Certificate housing program to assist low income persons rem bg private apartments in Plymouth since 1977. In addition, since about the same time, private developers have constructed 153 nub of Section 8 assisted housing in the city. `n total there see approximately 300 privately owned units of housing scattered throughout Plymouth that see assisted by the Section 8 Program, out of a total of approximately 5,000 rental units in the city. In commst to the nidations m Minneapolis and the comments regarding other suburban communities that you cited in your loiter, Plymouth's experience with the Section 8 Program has been very positive and successful. A major mason for tris success has ban the scattering of assisted units to avoid large cions and -the strong cooperation between the City and the private property owners and managers to emphasise good maw screemng and management of rental properties in the city. Under the Section 8 Program, to private owners do their own screening of all applicants, which includes references and criminal history c-vb. They also establish their own rules and conditions of occupancy for tenants. The private owners can and do screen out any applicants that do not moot their screening criteria, including those with criminal moords. They also can and do cause tenants who violate the Hiles and conditions of occupancy, which can include police calls to the unit, to move out of their apartments. The City's Public Safety Department also keeps in close contact with the rental property owners and managers through the Plymouth Apartment Manager's Association that mats monthly with city staff at the city's Public safety Building. The Public safety Department is currently working with the Association and the HRA to implement a nationally recognized Crinis -Free Multi -Family Housing program. This program emphasizes applicant screening, management practices and design that eliminate opportunities for criminal activities. In addition, the City's Rental Dwelling Licensing Ordinance and Housing Maintenance Code requires well maim wined rental properties that help to keep criminal elements out of a community.

Huriburt, Executive Director FROM: Edward J. Goldsmith, HRA Supervisor r SUBJECT: Funding for Suburban Hennepin County Fan Housing Initiative At the September HRA meeting the Board of Commissioners authorized the expenditure of 1,500 from the HRA General Fund Budget for the Suburban Hennepin County Fair Housing Initiative subject to clarification from Hennepin County of the following issues: Are any of the services enumerated in the draft RFP currently being provided by other y agencies in suburban Hennepin County? H so, bow will the County mauve that services provided under this initiative will not be a duplication of currently provided services? Will enforcement activities be through existing agencies, such as the State Department of Human Rights, or will a new agency be responsible for enforcement? N so, why would this be necessary? The draft RFP refers to collaborations "that will coordinate fair housing activities with similar activities in the city of Minneapolis'. Should it not also refer to coordination with any similar activities aheady occurring in suburban Henoepw county? How will Plymouth's contributions be expended? Would it be proportional to the amounts expended from Hennepin County and Bloomington? if any funds are remaining at the and of the initiative, would they be distribi.tod back to the three contributors and in what man=? Barbara Hayden of the Henogms County Ofiia of Planning and Development has responded to these issues in the attached letter. In addition, I have had discussions with Ms. Hayden and Mr. Mark Hendrickson of the same otRee to emphasize the Board's concerns. Based upon these responses, I recommend that the Board r+emm the conditions planed upon the approval of agmdkore of $1,500 hem the BRA Levy FwW for the Suburb_!! Hmml* County Flair Housing hddadv& Attachment: Letter from Barbara Hayden IMOP axober s, 1995 Ms Anne Hudburt Executive Director Plymouth HRA 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, MN 55447 in County ocr s' = CITY OF PLYMOUTH COVAJIMIT Oi1tf10NOPI7 C:FF Dear Anne; Thank you for letter regarding the Suburban Hennepin County Fair Housing Initiative. Following are responses to each of the issues for which you requested additional clarification. 1. During the past year, Hennepin County staff, in conjunction with staff from the city of Minneapolis meet with organizations involved with fair housing issues. A joint meeting with Hennepin County fair housing organizations was held last February and many of the ideas put forth in this request evolved from that meeting. I am not aware of any organizations providing comprehensive fair housing services throughout suburban Hennepin County. 2. The Minnesota Department of Human Rights is charged with enforcing the Minnesota Human Rights Act which covers housing discrimination. The department does not have resources for fair housing testing and education. The emphasis of the county request is to foams on suburban Hennepin County fair housing services. Some of these enforcement services may be minimally available on a statewide basis. The request does not call for the creating of a new agency to enforce human rights, rather it does encourage increased efforts in enforcing the housing provisions of the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the federal Fair Housing Act. 3. The coordination with services in Minneapolis refers to a similar fair housing initiative underway in Minneapolis in an attempt not to duplicate services. Again I am not aware of these type of fair housing services currently being provided in Office Of Planning & Development a Development Planning Unit R -id d P4t.--.,' 10709 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 260 Minnetonka, Minnesota 55305 612) 541-7080 FAX:(612) 541.7090 0"N, Ms. Anne Hurlburt October 5, 1995 Page 2 suburban Hennepin County. Suburban Hennepin County organizations we have solicited ideas from include: Community Action for Suburban Hennepin (CASH), Suburban Hennepin County Anti-Racisim Coalition (SHARC), and the three buman service planning agencies. It is our assumption that all funds would be awarded following this solicitation. However, if funded services did not go forth we would not retain contributions from Plymouth and Bloomington. Likewise, it is important to note that the county is covering all administrative costs associated with this initiative. On September 20, 1995 the proposals were transmitted to fair housing organizations. Proposals are due October 20, 1995 and it is expected that funding awards will be forwarded to the County Board in November. Staff from Plymouth has indicated that they did not have adequate time to review the Hennepin County's request to participate in this initiative. Plymouth was invited after Bloomington expressed an interest to join in this effort which was already underway and I vsnted to extend the same opportunity to Plymouth. I can apprzdate that Plymouth may not elect to participate at this time or may be interested in a local initiative. Please contact me if you have any questions or additional. concerns. Sincerely, c:& ; Barbara Hayden Administrative Manager cc: Ed Goldsmith u-%LMW% RU=TWD yes.

Apartment 121 had water dripping from the ceiling fire sprinkler in her bathroomduringaseparaterainpriortoAugustSth & 6th. We were unable to determine the source of the water leak The leak has dried up and has no. reoccurred. Dave Salimen from Frena inspected the leaks and determined that the water entered thebuildingthroughtheroofventsduringheavyrains, leaked into the attic and drained down the walls into the apartments. He checked the vents and found that they wereinstalledcorrectly. We had an independent mo56g contractor come out And replace two vents that are located in high drainage areas. We feel that during heavy rains, water is running into thetwoventsandintotheattic. The new vents are metal •cage• units with a 2" inner lipcomparedtothecurrentoneswhichareplasticNented' with a 1" inter lip. We alsoInstalledpiecesofmetalabovetheventstodeflectwaterawayfromthevents. We feel these actions have corrected the problem, but will continue to monitor the attic .. after heavy rains until we are certain no more leaks exist. If we come across additionalleaks, we will consider replacing the vents. If you have any questions, call me. August 1995 To: Greg Oppegard From: Sarah Miller Re: GARAGE VEM'Q.A77ON PIT The issue of water draining into the garage via the ventilation pit was discussed dutigg site visits with the architect and contractor as a punch list item. Due to the problems the water was posing in the garage to stag resident's safety and equipment, it has become important to correct the problem as soon as pole. We hard wired a permanent sump pump to the west garage ventilation pit. This will allow the water to be automatically pumped out when the water reaches a certain level. Previously, staff was spending several hours a week, drawing the water with a portable sump pump. - Could this cost be considered part of the construction fund? Please let me know.

NEVER LET ANYONE INTO THE BUILDING UNLESS THEY ARE YOUR VISITOR. Residents entering or exiting the building must stop anyone who wants to slip through the door at the same time. Tell them that they need to call the resident they are here to visit and that resident has to buzz them in. Explain that this is security building and you can not let them in. A majority of the time, they will understand. Occasionally, they get upset and are not very nice about it (I'm speaking from experience). If this ever occurs, inform the office immediately and management will discuss the incident with the resident they are here to visit. To lessen and confusion, please inform family and friends of this policy which is intended to keep the building safe and secure. It is also important that you do not let in the friends and relatives of other residents, who you may know, that are here to see someone else. Situations may arise when a resident may not want to see a particular person and it becomes very distressing when this unwanted relative" is let into the building by someone in the lobby and is suddenly knocking on their front door. If a resident wants someone to enter the building without calling them first, they will provide them with a key. Otherwise, all visitors must announce themselves, via the entry phone system, and be let in by the person they are visiting. This subject will be re -addressed at the September Resident Meeting and comments will' be discussed at that time. Thank you QftTA%WNO Z%%E"M Announcements............

Hari %M, Executive Director FROM: Bdward J. Goldsmith, HRA Supervisor SUBJECT., Resolution Recommending city Partifin the Metropolitan lovable Communities Act At last month's Board meeting, information was presented regarding the Bhn Crock Cluster Planning Project and the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. Metropolitan Council stats have temporarily put a hold on the nogatiations regarding the Elm Creek Chaser Planning Project, while the planning activities for the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act move forward. The City Council will need to make a number of decisions in regards to participation in these activities. Under the Livable Communities Act, the City has the option to participate is a number of programs funded by the legislature and administered by the Metro Council to produce more affordable and lifecycle bounng and clean-up polluted land to promote eronastc development. The City Council must notify the Metro Council of its intention to participate in these programs for 1996, by November 15, 1995. Participation requires that the City agree to continue to spend a specified amount of local foods in support of affordable and life -cycle housing, negotiate a housing agreement with the Metro Council by December 8, 1993, that eablishes housing goals for the City, and develop a housing action plan by June 30, 1993, that specifies the actions to be taken to achieve the housing goals. The housing agreement required for participation in the Livable Communities program will be the basis for the agreement that will be part of the Elm Creek Cluster Planning Project for the development of the Bim Credo sewer interceptor. As indicated in the materials previously distributed to the Board, there is a sad for additional affordable and life -cycle housing in Plymouth. The funding available through participation in the Metropolitan Livable Communities programs could assist the development of such housing in Plymouth. Such participation will also facilitate the City's ability to respond to the issues and goals that would be included in the Elm Crack Cluster Planning Project, once it is negotiated with the Metropolitan Council. Because of the significant implications for the development of affordable housing within the city of Plymouth, the HRA should recommend to the City Council that the City participate in the programs established under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. I recommend that the Beard adopt the attached Resolution recommending to the Cky Council that it elect to participate in programs established under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act .
