The HRA will meet in conjunction with the Council to discuss concerns which were expressed during their last meeting. The HRA's major concern was having an independent board controlling the position (i .e. , hiring, firing, allocating time, directing projects, etc. ) when the person would be working on HRA projects a majority of the time. The HRA indicated they would like more input into the selection of the person, and accountability. Lar hompson City Administrator LT/mh cc: file MEMO TO: HRA MEMBERS SUBJECT: SPECIAL MEETING - JULY 16, 1984 DATE: JULY 12, 1984 This memo is to remind you that a special meeting was set for July 16; 1984 at 7:00 P.M. at the Civic Center for the purpose of discussing the Economic Development Directors position with the City Council . 4Larrhompson City Administrator LT/mh cc: file Mayor and Councilmembers i AGENDA REQUEST FORM ITEM NO. qd NAME: Cathy Denison -- DEPARTMENT: Park and Recreation - Senior Center DATE: July 9, 1984 MEETING DATE: July 16, 1984 CATEGORY: New Business SUBJECT: Lease for the southeast corner of the Senior Center EXPLANATION: • Seniors would like to lease the southeast corner of the Center and are requesting the City of fund the lease.

This amount would be used to rent the vacant back room at 431 Third Street from the HRA for use by the Senior Center. On July 5, 1984 the Farmington Area Senior Center presented a proposal to the HRA regarding using the back room at 431 Third Street. The seniors have a real need for additional space at the Center. (See attached proposal .) The HRA was unwilling to accept the senior's proposal , due to the additional costs of repairs requested. The Senior Center subsequently requested that the HRA simply agree to not rent the back room to anyone else until January, 1985. (At that time the City of Farmington will presumably own the entire building. The City has already inferred that the Senior Center will be able to utilize the back room. ) The HRA was unwilling to guarantee this. There are currently several rental proposals before the HRA, some of which include the back room. The rent is only $50.00 per month. The seniors are unable to contribute that amount, at this time. All current fund raising must be used towards buying the Senior Center. It would be a shame to see the room leased out to someone else in the remaining 4 months before the Fund Drive is complete. We therefore request that the City of Farmington agree to pay the $50.00. rent thru December 31, 1984 at which time the City will assume ownership. If the Fund Drive is unsuccessful , we _ weld not ld the City responsible for further rent.

REFERENCE MATERIALS/RESPONSIBILITY: Explanation - Larry Thompson REFERRED TO: (NAME) DEPARTMENT: Larry Thompson Administration )0. cirrr,%/10' SIGNATU' ' MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS SUBJECT: 1983/84 MORTGAGE REVENUES BOND PROGRAM DATE: JULY 10, 1984 Attached please find a copy of a letter from Mark Ulfers regarding the 1983/84 Mortgage Revenue Bond Program. The letter is fairly self explanatory . The decision you make would be strictly a policy decision as to your perception of the program; should it be used exclusively for first time homebuyers, or should a percentage be used for non-first time homebuyers. My feeling is that the program was initiated exclusively for first time home buyers, and should remain so until it can be shown that excluding non-first time homebuyers is detri- mental to the program. This item will be on the July 16, 1984 agenda for discussion and possible action. I am notifying the affected developers of this discussion by copy of this memo. Lar hompson • City Administrator LT/mh cc: Therese Reisinger Jack Benedict file DAKOTA COUNTY DAKOTA COUNTY HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 2496- 145th STREET WEST " ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA 55068 612-423-4800 Serving People and Communities June 28, 1984 Larry Thompson City Hall 325 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 Dear Larry: Recently it has come to our attention that up to 10% of the funds available for mortgages in our Single Family Mortgage Revenue Bond Program can be used for households who have previously owned a home. Since we presented the program to the City of Farmington. as a program to exclusively assist first-time homebuyers, we would like to get some policy direction from the city on this issue. Specifically, we would like to know if the city would like to make available to the two developers involved up to 10% of their allocations for households who have previously owned a home. As you may recall, the allocation of funds-to the two builders are as follows: Total Builder 10% of Commitment Commitment Therese Reisinger $ 624,207 $ 62,400 Jack Benedict $3,840,793 $384,000 City Total $4,465,000 $446,400 We would like to stress that the provision of funds to households who have pre- viously owned their home is optional and won't negatively effect the program. Attached is the letter you requested from our attorney regarding the legality of this matter. If you should have questions regarding this matter, please let me know. Sincerely, a ;; a k Ulf, s Deputy Executive Director MU:js Attachment "AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER" RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE USE OF FUNDS FOR NON FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS FOR THE 1984 DAKOTA COUNTY HRA SINGLE FAMILY HOMEBUYER PROGRAM WHEREAS, the City of Farmington is participating in the 1984 Dakota County HRA Single Family Housing Program; and WHERAS, federal law now allows up to 10% of the funds to be used to finance homes for people who have previously owned a home (non first-time homebuyers); and WHEREAS, first-time homebuyer is defined as someone who has not previously owned a home in the past three years. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Farmington City Council that both builders (Jack Benedict and Therese Resigner) participating in the Program be allowed to use up to 10% of their funds to assist non first-time homebuyers. • • HOLMES & GRAVEN JUL - 9 1984 CHARTERED BARBARA L. PORTWOOD 470 Pillsbury Center,Minneapolis,Minnesota 55402 Attorney at Law Telephone 612/338-1177 July 6, 1984 Larry Thompson City Administrator 325 Oak Street Farmington, Minnesota 55024 Dear Larry: I understand from conversations with Mark Ulfers that you are looking for some confirmation that non-first-time homebuyers may participate to some extent in the Dakota County Mortgage Revenue Bond Program for Farmington and Rosemount. Federal laws and regulations required that 90% of the lendable proceeds of a mortgage revenue bond be used to finance homes of first-time homebuyers. First- time homebuyers are defined as persons who have had no present ownership interest in their principal residences at any time during the three-year period ending on the- date their mortgage is executed. Accordingly 10% of the lendable proceeds of an issue of mortgage revenue bonds may be made available to non-first-time homebuyers. If you have any questions about this, please let me know. Sincerely, Barbara L. Portwood cc: Mark Ulfers BLP/mer
