Are
there
any?
Is
there
any
discussion
chair?
Yes,
commissioner,.
A
Who
came?
Thank
you
chair.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment,
and
just
say
it
was
really
nice
reading
that
letter
and
just
how
nicely
run
staff
did
with
this
and
just
seeing
from
hud
and
the
nice
recommendations
and
everything
that
they
said
there
it
just.
It
really
reaffirms
the
staff
that
we
have
and
the
work
that
they're
doing.
So
I
just
wanted
to
commend
our
staff
for
that.
So
that
was
all.
F
F
E
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
lewis,
erica
coleman,
the
city
is
reviewing
and
revising.
Excuse
me.
It's
hia
housing,
improvement
area
policy
and
the
hra
has
the
responsibility
of
reviewing
applications
and
making
recommendations
to
the
city
council
on
a
per-project
basis.
Attached
for
your
review
and
discussion
are
the
draft
revisions
for
the
policy,
approval
process
and
property
standards.
E
Staff
would
be
requesting
an
approval
of
the
attached
resolution,
recommending
updates
to
housing,
improvement,
area
policy
and
adoption
of
approval
process
and
property
standards
by
the
city
of
bloomington.
If
the
commission
is
so
comfortable
to
do
so
this
evening,
but
we
can
start
with
the
summary
document
of
the
changes
that
were
proposed
and
discussed.
E
F
E
So
clarifying
the
city's
authority
and
the
hra's
responsibility
increasing
the
minimum
support
of
property
association
members
from
60
percent
to
65
percent,
clarifying
the
review
and
appeal
process
for
the
applications
that
are
submitted,
specifying
goals
for
the
use
of
hia
financing
requiring
third
party
administrator
for
the
project.
So
someone
that
an
entity
or
and
or
person
that
does
not
have
an
interest,
a
financial
interest
in
the
project
increasing
the
bond
term
to
20
years
from
the
specified
10
to
15
years.
E
That
was
previously
in
the
the
current
policy
and
clarifying
the
city's
discretion
to
use
other
funding
sources.
If
the
city
so
chooses
clarifying
that
a
reserve
study,
hia
reserve
plan
and
financial
plan
are
required
and
the
requirements
of
those
plans
requiring
temporary
construction
financing
previously
temporary
construction
financing
was
not
allowed
under
the
current
policy
clarifying
development
agreement.
Minimum
terms
this
is
after
an
application,
would
be
reviewed
and
recommended
for
approval.
E
Aligning
the
application
and
deposit
fees
with
other
city
policies,
so
this
is
increasing
the
application
fee
from
five
hundred
dollars
to
five
thousand
dollars
and
increasing
the
deposit
from
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
or
one
percent
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
And
this
is
in
alignment
with
the
other
city
policies
tiff
and
in
particular,
tax.
Increment
financing
and
affordable
housing.
Trust
fund,
revolving
loan
fund
applications,
adding
approval
process
document
and
adding
a
property
standards
document,
and
I'm
able
to
stand
for
any
questions
or
have
any
discussion
about
more
of
the
details
of
the
proposed
changes.
D
E
E
So
the
city
fund
discretion,
so
the
city
does
have
the
discretion
that
if
they
have
other
funding
sources
that
they
choose
not
to
bond
for
a
project
just
allowing
the
city
to
do
that,
whether
that
is
I'm
not
really
up
on
the
city
funds,
but
different
funds
that
the
city
may
have
or
different
loan
pools.
If
the
city
has
internal
funding
and
not
wanting
to
bond
for
the
full
entire
amount
of
the
hia
financing,
that's
being
requested,
they
don't
have
to,
and
so
it's
just
allowing
that
discretion
to
be
in
there.
D
E
Beloga,
I
am
not
saying
that
city
funds
may
be
used.
I
cannot
make
that
that
determination,
but
there
may
be
other
funding
that
the
city
has
access
to
that
they
could
decide,
and
this
is
all
hypothetical.
This
is
that's
why
it's
opening
up
for
the
discretion
for
the
city
to
make
these
decisions,
there
could
be
other
funding
that
the
city
has
access
to
that
could
be
used
to
serve
the
purpose
of
helping
private
owned
property
under
the
the
goals
of
the
hia
policy
and
eligible
activities.
D
E
E
Currently,
we
would
bond
for
it
up
front
and
we
don't
actually
know
the
full
amount
of
the
cost,
whereas,
if
temporary
construction
financing
is
used,
we
only
would
bond
at
the
very
end
of
the
project
where
we
know
the
full
amount,
and
also
this
was
under
the
advisement
of
the
city's
bond
council
who's.
Also,
the
general
counsel
for
the
port
authority
that
did
review
this
per
the
request
of
the
cfo
and
did
let
us
know
that
in
all
the
work
that
they
do
with
hia
financing
with
other
cities.
D
E
D
D
F
F
E
The
city
entered
into
a
covenant
agreement
with
old
national
bank
setting
forth
the
terms
of
the
purchase
of
the
bond
by
old
national
bank
and
the
pledge
of
the
tax
revenues
for
the
payment
of
the
bond
on
august
3
2020.
The
original
covenant
agreement
was
amended
to
clarify
that
tax
increment
revenues
that
would
be
pledged
to
the
payment
of
the
bond.
E
E
Funding
availability
for
gov
for
development
gap
and
significant
increase
in
construction
material
costs
drawing
down
the
fund
principal
amount
of
the
bond
for
the
affordable
housing
development
has
been
made
quite
difficult.
Over
the
last
two
years,
the
city
and
old
national
bank
have
proposed
to
move
further.
E
Excuse
me
to
further
amend
the
covenant
agreement
to
extend
the
deadline
to
draw
down
the
full
amount
of
principle
of
the
bond
and
to
extend
the
penalty
for
failure
to
draw
down
the
full
amount
from
december
31st
2021
to
december
31st
2022,
when
a
development
for
affordable
housing
project
needs
revolving
loan
funds.
The
city
draws
the
money
down
from
the
bank
and
loans
it
to
the
hra.
E
The
hra
has
a
loan
agreement
with
the
city
that
gets
updated
when
the
city
loans,
the
funds
to
the
hra,
the
hra,
then
loans,
some
or
all
of
those
funds
to
the
developer
and
enters
into
loan
documents
with
the
developer
staff
is
requesting.
Approval
of
the
resolution
recommending
approval
of
the
second
amendment
to
the
covenant
agreement
by
the
city
of
bloomington.
F
C
F
E
E
E
The
activities
of
the
hra
would
administer
the
activities
that
the
hra
would
administer
our
down
payment
assistance
and
homelessness
response
and
prevention
services,
as
approved
by
city
council.
Funding
for
these
activities
would
be
transferred
to
the
hra
from
the
city
through
necessary
budget
adjustments.
E
The
down
payment
housing
assistance
program
will
grant
up
to
ten
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
per
qualifying
households
at
or
below.
Eighty
percent
ami
and
administration
costs
for
non-profit
administrators
to
do
application,
intake
income
and
eligibility
qualifications
and
disperse
assistance
funds,
as
at
home
buyer.
Closing
a
request
for
proposals
for
lending
administration
services
will
be
released
through
the
city
procurement
process
and
the
contracting
management
and
compliance
administered
through
the
hra
for
homelessness
response
and
prevention
services.
E
They
will
be
used
to
assist
people
who
are
experiencing
housing,
instability
and
homelessness
and
are
in
need
of
services
for
coordination,
resources,
organization,
eviction,
help
and
or
temporary
housing
with
specialized
or
internal
staff.
That
coordinates
homelessness,
response
with
the
hinvin
county,
human
services
and
office
and
homelessness,
as
well
as
community
organizations
and
bloomington
public
schools
is
actually
another
one
city
finance
staff
will
request
the
transfer
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
the
hra
for
arpa
homelessness,
response
prevention,
services
coming
in
november
2021,
and
so
this
goes
back
to
that.
E
In
order
for
the
money
to
be
spent
and
tracked
for
the
activities
that
are
approved
by
the
city
council,
there
will
be
budget
adjustments
requested
by
the
city,
finance
office
to
the
city,
council
and
so
city
finance
will
be
making
a
request
of
the
250
thousand
dollars
of
homelessness.
Response
prevention.
Services
allocated
by
the
city
council
they'll
be
making
the
request
to
transfer
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
the
hra
this
year.
D
D
E
D
E
Thank
you
for
the
follow-up
commissioner.
Baloga
housing
instability
is
not
referring
to
rent
assistance
in
this
context
that
was
approved
by
the
city
council.
Housing
instability
is
referring
to
people
that
are
at
risk
of
homelessness,
doubling
up,
but
not
necessarily,
rent
assistance.
Those
are
people
that
have
a
place
to
stay
and
they
are
able
to
get
help
from
veep,
which
we
do
support
from
the
state
of
minnesota
and
from
hennepin
county.
E
We
are
providing
how
the
housing
instability
is
doubled
up
highly
mobile,
so
people
that
move
quite
a
bit,
don't
necessarily
have
a
lease
in
their
name
or
at
risk
of
homelessness.
So
it
is
different
than
rent
assistance.
We
are
not.
We
are
not
going
to
be
administering
rent
assistance.
We
will
not
be
repeating
activities.
E
F
E
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
lewis,
and
please
excuse
my
sharing
I'm
sharing
the
old
agenda
because
we
did
update
it
to
make
sure,
but
in
the
upcoming
items
there
was
information
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
the
board
was
aware
of,
and
so
I
thought
it
would
be
helpful
to
include
it
as
an
upcoming
items.
Agenda.
E
E
Second,
the
lindell
flats,
housing
development
is
nearing
completion
and
new
residents
will
be
moving
in
mwf
properties
and
velaire
property
management.
Their
in-house
property
management
company
have
inten
invited
hra
board
of
commissioners
and
hra
staff
to
take
a
tour
of
the
new
development
on
tuesday
january
11th
at
3
pm.
E
E
Another
concurrent
study
session
meeting
will
be
scheduled
for
sometime
in
january
to
continue
discussions
regarding
single
and
two
family
dwelling
standards
right
now.
There
are
two
dates
for
consideration
by
the
hra
and
the
planning
commission
january
25th,
which
is
an
hra
regular
meeting
or
january
27th,
which
is
a
planning
commission,
regular
meeting.
E
I
want
to
have
consideration
and
understanding
of
logistics
for
an
hra
board
retreat
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022,
where
we
can
discuss
the
work
of
the
hra
and
moving
forward
in
the
coming
year.
I
think
it's
due
time
past
time
for
us
to
have
a
retreat
just
to
have
that
type
of
work,
study
session
and
then,
lastly,
but
definitely
not
least,
the
bloomington
