Youth Q In Minnesota,three children under the age of 14 were killed and 223 injured in alcohol-related crashes(1991).1 Q One out of five 8th graders has tried using inhalants. This group is more heavily involved with inhalants than other grade levels because they are unaware of the dangers and the fact that inhalants are relatively inexpensive.' Q Experimentation with alcohol,tobacco and marijuana often begins before senior high school. However,illicit drug use starts primarily during the last three years of high school.' O Most teens have tried alcohol by the time they reach high school. Studies show that three-fourths of 12th graders,almost half of the 9th graders and ten percent of the 6th graders have used alcohol in the past month. The earlier the age of first chemi- cal use,the greater the chances of developing abuse problems in the future.' O Adolescent males have been shown to drink more often and in larger quantities than females,with six percent daily drinking versus two percent of adolescent females drinking daily 6A O In 1991,54 percent of American high school seniors drank an alcoholic beverage in the prior month,30 percent reported at least one instance,in the prior two weeks,of binge drinking(five or more drinks).' O Studies report that one-third of Midwestern high school seniors have driven after drinking two or more times in the past year,and almost half have ridden with someone who has been drinking.6B O In 1991,there were 2,242 DWI arrests of people between the ages of 15-19 in Minnesota.' O In 1991,over ten percent of the people arrested for DWI in Minnesota were under the legal drinking age of 21? Q Alcohol-related fatalities have killed approximately 3,400 people nationally in the 16-20 year old bracket(1990)6B Q Young people using alcohol engage in more high-risk behavior than non-users. Inexperienced drivers,driving under the influence of alcohol are at an increased risk of a crash66 Q Almost four percent of all college students will drink every single day in the next • month.6c Q A typical college student consumes over 34 gallons of alcohol per year. Most of this consumption comes from beer—four billion cans annually6c MCHW Packet 17 1 Although a study of the University of Minnesota has found that the percentage of students who had driven while drunk at least once in the past month has fallen over the last four years. 11 percent(4.000)of university students continue to drive while drunk each month.68 1 Rural children as young as 11 and 12 are drinking as many as 14 to 18 beers as part of their Friday and Saturday nights out. Excessive drinking by young people is extremely dangerous because alcoholism occurs far more quickly in children and adolescents and can take root in as little as 6 to 18 months.' 1 Sixty percent of chemically-related child maltreatment reports in Hennepin County involved cocaine or crack use.' 1 Many young people at risk for HIV/AIDS are not injecting heroin or using crack cocaine. However,they may be infecting steroids to boost their athletic ability and sharing the needles with their friends.' Accidents In 1991.40 percent of all traffic related fatalities were alcohol-related.' I Of the 33.574 drunken driving arrests in Minnesota in 1991.84 percent were males and 16 percent were females.' I In 1991.212 people were killed and 5.556 people were injured in alcohol-related crashes on Minnesota roads. One hundred and sixty-six of those people killed were tested for alcohol,it was found that 84 percent had been drinking(.01 or more)and 65 percent were legally intoxicated(.10 or more)at the time of the crash.' 1 Out of 327 drivers killed in 1991.85 were legally drunk,and 50 had blood alcohol concentrations over 2.0.' 1 Waterways are second only to highways as the sight of accidental deaths. One study found that 35 percent of boaters drink while on open water.6D I The Centers for Disease Control report alcohol may be involved in 69 percent of all drownings and 70 percent of all recreational boating accidents. This is important because drowning is the cause of death in nine out of ten recreational boating accidents.6° 1 Falls are the second leading cause of fatal accidents. The risk of a fall increases as blood alcohol concentration increases. Sixty percent of all fall victims are intoxicated.6D 1 Of motorcycle driver fatalities(in Minnesota)for people age 25-34.83 percent had been drinking and 67 percent were legally drunk(1991).' 1 The risks of hypothermia are also increased by the effects of drinking alcohol. In 1989.75 percent of hypothermia victims treated in hospitals had significant levels of alcohol in their systems.6D 1 Alcoholics are two to three times more likely to have an accident at work than are other employees.6D 18 MCHW Packet MINNESOTA CHEMICAL HEALTH WEEK • Violence and Crime I Although experts disagree as to whether or not drinking and drugs directly cause violence and abuse,alcohol and other drugs are seen as one of the factors contribut- ing to family violence.6E I Alcohol and other drug abuse has been shown to be directly related to violent crime. The definition of violent crime includes murder.rape.burglary and sexual assault. Family violence such as child abuse.neglect,spouse battering and incest also needs to be taken into consideration when addressing alcohol and other drug use and abuse.' 1 In 1990.the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension reported that alcohol-related crimes include 50-75% of all homicides.40-70% of rapes and 40-70% of all incidents of domestic violence.' I Fifty-four percent of prison inmates reported that they were under the influence of drugs or alcohol or both at the time they committed the offense for which they were currently sentenced.' I Forty percent of youths incarcerated in long-term facilities report that they were under the influence of drugs at the time of their offense.' 1 One study found alcohol to be involved in 80 percent of battering incidents.6E I Thirty-five to 40 percent of child protection cases in Ramsey County involve chemical abuse. Alcohol abuse was involved in 50-70%of neglect cases(1991).6E I Seventy-five percent of victimizers and over 50 percent of the victims involved in acquaintance rape had been drinking before the assault.6° • I Half of the perpetrators of child sexual abuse crimes also abuse alcohol. Children who are incest victims are more likely to become chemically dependent 6E I According to the FBI.50 percent of all rapes occurring in the U.S. involve alcohol.6F "1 Alcohol and other drugs impair judgment and lower inhibitions.making it easier for a perpetrator to force sex on someone who is.unwilling. Persons who are under the influence of alcohol and other drugs are less able to successfully defend themselves when confronted with physically dangerous situations 6F Women 1 Today in America more than 60 percent of adult women and almost 90 percent of college-age women drink alcohol. Most women who choose to drink,alcohol do so responsibly.but many are unaware that alcohol effects them differently than it does men.6O I Alcohol causes many different reactions according to one's health,weight.mood and whether or not one has eaten recently. Women tend to become more intoxicated . on the same amount of alcohol as men due to the fact that women have less body fluid and more body fat.6O I Alcohol also has a more profound effect on women during various phases of their menstrual cycle. Many women are unaware that no amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy. Fetal alcohol syndrome. lower birth weights,and miscarriage are some of the risks involved if women drink during pregnancy.6° MCHW Packet 19 1 Many women are unaware that drugs. including over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs.have unpredictable and potentially dangerous side effects. especially when mixed with alcohol. Even medications containing estrogen.such as birth control pills or"hormone"pills.affect the way a woman's body reacts to alcohol.6G Women taking estrogen containing medications may take longer to recover from the effects of alcohol. As a precaution check with a physician or pharmacist and read the labels before using alcohol while taking drugs.6G 1 Women tend to use alcohol in combination with other drugs more often than men.'G 1 Women need to use the information available concerning alcohol and women's health to best determine the choices they will make regarding if,when and how they drink.'° 1 In 1989.ten percent of all babies born in the Twin Cities/Metropolitan area were exposed to drugs prenatally.' 1 Fetal Alcohol Syndrome results from excessive drinking by a pregnant mother. The syndrome produces children with development abnormalities,as well as neural problems including mental retardation.6E 1 Women who experience"roll deprivation"—divorce.loss of child custody.unem- ployment—are at a higher risk for alcohol-related problems.'c Seniors 1 Loneliness. inactivity,anticipation of death,loss of family and friends,and a general lack of societal preparation for old age are a few of the factors that contribute to the risk of senior alcohol abuse.'" 1 Increased health risks,heavy prescription/over-the-counter medication use and isolation are common experiences among seniors. Many seniors abuse alcohol as a means of escape,to help them cope with the difficult transition into old age which for many brings with it a whole new life-style.'" 1 Seniors,as a group.generally do not drink as much alcohol on one occasion as other • age groups. Physical changes cause them to be more susceptible to the effects of alcohol:they have a lowered tolerance.'" 1 Seniors are more psychologically dependent on alcohol than they are physically dependent. The number of alcohol abusers and alcoholics 50 years and older is expected to increase eight percent by 1995.6" 1 Late onset of alcohol abuse is more common among women than men and those who are single rather than married. Those at the highest risk for alcoholism are women over 65 years who are widowed. Seventy-five percent of late onset alcohol- ics drink alone.'" I Alcoholism among the elderly is often undetected and undertreated,due to behavior characteristics which are commonly mistaken as being typical of the normal aging process. While diagnosis of elderly alcoholism is difficult,treatment success rates are higher among seniors than younger alcoholics.'" 20 MCHW Packet MINNESOTA CHEMICAL HEALTH WEEK O Prevention of alcoholism among senior citizens is crucial,especially as the elderly population continue to grow. Alcoholism among seniors will only add to the existing extraordinary cost of social service and health care systems.'" O Activity and involvement are good means of prevention that also encourage senior to lead productive,meaningful lives. Minnesota tops the nation in the number of seniors working as volunteers.'" Etc. O An alcohol-related family problem strikes one out of every four American homes.-' O Alcohol is closely linked to suicide. Among the causes of death for.alcoholics,an average of 18 percent are due to suicide. Approximately 21 percent of all suicide victims are alcohol-dependent.' O Alcohol and other drug use is fueling the AIDS epidemic in the U.S.,according to a key finding by the National Commission on AIDS 61 O When compared with non-drinkers,light drinkers have almost double the risk of experiencing hemorrhagic stroke syndrome,and heavy drinkers have almost triple the risk.' O There are between 20,000-30.000 drunk drivers on Minnesota roads every weekend (Friday and Saturday nights). This seriously endangers the lives of everyone on the road.6B O Two-thirds of the population drink,but ten percent of all drinkers(those who drink most heavily)drink half of all alcohol consumed.9 Prevention O The prevention of alcohol and chemical use problems are the responsibility of all people. Prevention efforts need to be expanded to include religious organizations, civic groups.youth service agencies,mental health centers and organizations involved in the sale and distribution of legal chemicals.' 7 Today we realize that providing factual education and law enforcement cannot solve our chemical use problems. The prevention of chemical use problems needs to "focus on helping people develop skills,cope with feelings,and create a supportive environment."' O We are now beginning to understand why people use alcohol and other drugs,why some people make safe,healthy and legal(responsible)choices,and why others develop serious chemical use problems?' O We are also beginning to realize that prevention services are far more cost effective than treatment services,mainly because everyone can and should be a part of prevention.' O Prevention efforts should include parents,teachers,clergy,employers and friends and do not require as many trained professionals as treatment programs.' MCHW Packet 21 '1 Public awareness of the risks associated with alcohol use and abuse has increased. For example.more Americans are aware of the consequences of drunk driving and the dangers of drinking during pregnancy.6C 1 Prevention programs should include modeling,role playing.and reinforcing the decision making skills that allow people to say"no"to risky activities.61 The purpose of prevention efforts are to help people develop strengths and skills which allow them to make personally and socially responsible decisions about the use and non-use of alcohol and other drugs.' "A chemically healthy person knows the potential consequences of any use of alcohol and other drugs and decides accordingly to participate in activities which match personal skills, interests and needs." —Tom Griffin,Prevention Is • Everybody's Business(1991).' • Footnotes '"Facts and Figures on Rural Communities."Rural Communities.June 1991.

Reference Material/Responsibilty Referred To: (Name) Department Larry Thompson Administration Development Committee AlrSignature MEMO TO: LARRY THOMPSON SUBJECT: HOUSING PLAN DATE: OCTOBER 15, 1992 The Dakota County HRA letter to the City dated October 14, 1992, pertaining to possible funding sources for various housing programs, was extremely positive and helpful. After reviewing the Dakota County HRA letter, it would be my recommendation to the City and the Farmington HRA that the Dakota County HRA assist in implementing the "Richfield Plan" using the three (3) funding sources, Community Development Block Grant, 1984 Tax Increment Financing Funds and Dakota County HRA Matching funds of $220,000 to accomplish the "Blighted Prperties Program" goals (See Exhibit A and attached map) . The goal is to eliminate blighted properties within a designated area of Farmington. This will be accomplished by encouraging local residential developers to commit to agreeing to build a new house on a specific parcel of land, at an agreed upon price, prior to the City/HRA acquiring the blighted property. The dollar difference between the purchase price for the blighted property and the selling price to the developer represents the needed gap financing. If the gap financing for each project should be $23,800 (per memo dated August 2, 1991) , the City/MIA would be able to complete 10± projects under this program. Under Section 2, Acquisition of Single Family Property, it appears subsection (c) may be the most feasible and acceptable method to handle the acquisition of 101 Oak Street. In relationship to this section, there are some items I would like to note. First, the best scenario for assistance in acquiring the property would be $98,080. There will be a need for additional funding to acquire this property. My estimate for acquisition costs and moving the house would be as follows: Expenses 1. Acquisition of house $105,000 2. Acquire vacant lot , 20,000 -. -" , _ 3, —R1,;i;} tsasement on new lot 10,000 - 4. Utilities for new lot 5,000 5. Moving house to new lot 5,000 6.

Henricks HRA Executive Director GAH/sm cc: file • DAKOTA COUNTY Housing & Redevelopment Authority - 3-4800 2.496-145th tit.W. • Rosemount,..\1N 55068•T.D.D.6L 7.o182•FAX 612-423- I�c October 14, 1992 Mr. Larry Thompson, Administrator City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Farmington MN 55024 Dear Larry: Enclosed please find the information which was requested 'of the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) pursuant to our meeting held at Farmington City Hall on Friday, October 9, 1992 . At said meeting it was requested that the HRA research and update you as to three potential programs for the City of Farmington. The specific programs discussed are as follows: 1) BLIGHTED PROPERTIES PROGRAM The HRA submitted an application for participation in this Program to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) on behalf of the City of Farmington on January 31, 1992. The purpose of the Blighted Properties Program is to provide gap financing for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and sale of blighted properties. Due to the limited amount of funding available for the program and the number of applications submitted from throughout Minnesota, the Farmington proposal was not funded. In our meeting, you inquired as to how the City of Farmington and the HRA may still be able to work together to bring this service to the City of Farmington. The HRA would propose funding for such a Program as follows: $ 90, 000 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT -*-- Progra income 11-cm the closed out Small Cities Block Grant Program which the HRA administered in Farmington in 1983. $ 100, 000 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING FUNDS * Residual revenues from the HRA housing tax increment district that was administered as a first time homebuyer program in Farmington in 1984 . 3(1,000 HR'S, M rc17 rW ' ND $ 220, 000 TOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE RE\IPLOYEI "AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER" • Page Two The proposed method of implementation for the Blighted Properties Program is modeled after the "Richfield Plan" and is attached hereto as Attachment "A". Such a program would be carried out within the area designated in Attachment "B". The implementation of this kind of program would aid the City of Farmington in meeting their objective of rehabilitating the core area of the community. Please note that if residual tax increment funds are to_ be used to f unri such_a program, thane rte: - s st . mould - -to income limitations (115% of median income; approximately $56, 000 for a family of four) . In addition, if this is an option that Farmington wishes to pursue, it would be necessary for a modification to be done to the HRA's existing tax increment plan. This process would take approximately two to three months to accomplish. 2. ACQUISITION OF SINGLE FAMILY PROPERTY The, second program area of interest disc_11ssed at our meeting re. -a-3-ds thE, acquisition of a singie family plwerLy Wlicn is currently located adjacent to an area slated for multi-family development. You noted that this house would be the only remaining single family dwelling on the block once the adjacent property is developed. Several possible options for the future use of this property were discussed. In the event that any of these options are pursued, it is expected that funds from the HOME Program would be available as indicated below. A. Acquire property, leave house at current site and use house as a single family rental property with 3 to 4 bedrooms. The HRA could contribute HOME Program funds towards the purchase of this property. There are, however, strict guidelines regarding the use of HOME Program funds. The maximum expenditure that could be made if this house were to remain a single family dwelling with 4 bedrooms is $69, 638. This level of expenditure would require that the f^,-dab, > i ty of the house_ be monitored for 15 y_eArs. Af f-rrd b± j in ;_ e ma.a= . the owner of the h be required to e sure that persons living within the house would be charged rents ithin the HOME Program guidelines (similar to Section 8 Progra rents) and that the incomes of persons allowed to rent there woul also be monitored for a period of 15 years. B. Acquir property, leave house at current site and rent ., house as a duplex with each unit having 2 bedrooms. The HRA could'-contribute HOME Program funds towards the purchase -7 andaor-rehaaf this property. Again. there are strict - ., guidelines regarding-the use of HOME Program funds. The maximum expenditure that could be made if this house were to become a Page Three duplex with each unit having 2 bedrooms is $98 . 080. This level of expenditure would also require that the affordability of the house be monitored for 15 years. C. Acquire property and move house to a new location. Under this option, the HRA could either purchase the house to be relocated or the lot to which the house would be relocated. If the house warp purnhaRed with HOME Program fund.,5_,_ expenditure and affordability--guidelines would apply as described above. Pursuant to HOME Program regulations, the purchase of vacant property with the intent of moving a house to that location would be considered new construction. In such a case it would be necessary for the HRA to submit a justification to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for formal approval to use HOME Program funds for this purpose. Because the HOME Program sets a maximum allowable expenditure limit which would apply to all of the above referenced options, it is likely that there would be a gap in funding. This difference could bP ' r1-rs jip _of funds providPd lora' I v the Cit`: of F+ ntlir gt077 or the Farmington Housing and Redevelopment Authority. In addition, it would be required that a separate appraisal be obtained by the HRA on each the house and the property to assist in further determining the investment of HOME Program dollars that would be permitted. HRA staff has been in contact with HUD to determine if Options A-C would, in fact, be allowable uses of HOME Program funds. At this time our HUD Representative has indicated that Option C appears to be the most feasible of those options presented. HRA staff is working with HUD to provide them further information regarding Options A Anti R and to obtain a definitive answer ft or.HUD on these two options. 3) SCATTERED SITE HOUSING It was requested that the HRA provide an update on the scattered s5i4-a nr,nriitni ori 4n P»^m2 n rt+r_ tha�c Of O tfybrsyv 13, 1992, three cooperation agreements were executed tor 2 units each, for a total of 6 units in Farmington. All 6 units have been purchased by the HRA. If the City of Farmington would like to pursue additional scattered site housing units, another Cooperation Agreement would have to be entered into with the HRA. This would certainly be a timely program to pursue as the need for housing through the scattered site program in Dakota County is at an all time high. e Page Four It was a pleasure meeting with you and Jerry last week and I hope that the information provided herein is of assistance to the City of Farmington. Please be assured that the HRA will have a representative in attendance at the Farmington City Council meeting scheduled for Monday, October 19th. If I can provide you with further information prior to that time, please feel free to contact me. The HRA will be looking for further direction from the City of Farmington prior to pursuing any of the activities proposed herein. Thank you. Sincerely, 071 Mark S. Ulfe s Executive Director Attachments • • ATTACHMENT "A" PROPOSED METHOD OF IMPLEMENTATION BLIGHTED PROPERTIES PROGRAM • Definition: Blighted property is any improved property on which the improvements have one or more elements that are deteriorated, dilapidated, or physically or functionally obsolete so as to render the improvements substandard according to current building and/or housing standards. The City of Farmington would provide gap financing for the acquisition and demolition of blighted houses and the construction of new homes on the sites. The program administrator would purchase available- Llighted housing and contract for its demolition. The administrator would either sell the property to a developer under a development agreement or contract to have homes constructed while retaining ownership. In either case, the homes would be sold at market value to low or moderate income homebuyers. The program funds would be used as grants to cover the gap between the acquisition, demolition, and development costs and the market value of the homes built. Sources for the initial acquisition and demolition of blighted properties would be the - Revolving Funds established by a 1983 Small Cities Block Grant Program and excess tax increment funds from a Dakota County HRA Housing Tax Increment District that includes the designated neighborhood. Funds utilized for acquisition and demolition, as well as for gap financing when the administrator owns the development property, would be returned to the program fund when properties are sold, to be reused for additional program activity. EC ATTACHMENT "B" BLIGHTED PROPERTIES PROGRAM The boundaries of -Designated ghborhood are-; - Beginning at the corner of Willow Street and 8th Street, extending south to an imaginary line extending west to Maple Street, continuing west on Maple Street to 6th Street, then south to Ash Street, then west to 2nd Street, then north to Maple Street incorporating all properties abutting on 2nd Street, then west to 1st Street and incorporating all properties abutting on 1st Street, then north to Walnut Street, then west to Division Street incorporating all properties abutting on and south of Walnut, then north on division Street to the Vermillion River, then northerly and easterly along the south bank of the river to the boundary between the City of Farmington and Empire Township, then-east on the boundary to 5th Street, then south on 5th Street to Willow Street, then east to the point of beginning.

I have reviewed the information and from a legal and administrative standpoint it appears workable. The only concerns I have at this time are financial. First, the City would have to identify a source of internal funding. If the program is restricted, I do not see this as a major problem. Second, the project must cash flow unless ad valorem taxes are to be utilized. As you will note, the Richfield information provides no financial analysis. Therefore, I have made the following rough financial analysis, using the substandard house on 7th Street between Spruce and Walnut (east side) . Assumption: 1. Present Market Value $29,300.00 2. Present Taxes 340.00 3. Estimated Purchase Price 40,000.00 4. Demolition 3,800.00 5. Lot Price to Develop 20,000.00 6. Future Market Value 90,000.00 7. Future Taxes 1,250.00 TIF Analysis 1. Purchase $40,000.00 2. Demolition 3,800.00 3. Lot Sale [20,000.00] Net City Costs $23,800.00 Annual Debt Service (25 year @ 7%) $ 2,042.00 Annual Net TIF Funds $ 910.00 As you will note either the next City cost would have to be reduced via a lower purchase price or higher lot sale or the future value would have to be increased to generate a larger TIF. For example, it would take a future market value of approximately $122,000 to meet the annual debt service of $2,042.00. It should be noted that the City receives approximately $90,000 in CDBG Funds every other year which could be applied to this project. Presently the 1993 allocation is earmarked for the Farmington Preserve/Trail System. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. y ;, t t cc: Development Committee file file [New-Home-Program] RICHFIELD EXPANDED NEW HOME PROGRAM PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES • 7/15/91 Table of Contents page Number Statement of Purpose 1 Program Objectives 1 Definitions 1 Data Privacy 1 Seller Solicitation Procedures 1 Property Selection Criteria 2 Property Evaluation Procedures 3 Acquisition Procedures 5 • Developer Selection Criteria 7 Housing Design an --Site Development Criteria 8 Developer Solicitation Criteria 10 Developers Selection Procedures 11 Procedures for Sale to Developers 11 Property Closing Procedures 12 Plan Review Process 13 Procedures for Evaluation and Demolition 13 General Program Marketing 14 Internal Fund Management 15 Demolition Costs and Estimates 16 • `F z m .°` .1° ° M .
