I
would
like
to
call
to
order
the
September
27th
2022
meeting
of
the
Bloomington
Housing
and
Redevelopment
Authority.
First

Thoughts
I
want
to
have
to
count
five
to
zero.
Thank
you.
Oh
it's
been
a
long
night.
We
just
started

A
B
A
A
C
Thank
you,
chair
Lewis,
Erica,
Coleman,
HRA
administrator
before
you
is
a
motion
that
staff
is
looking
for.
You
to
approve
resolution,
2022-21
superseding
and
replacing
the
initial
preliminary
Levy
resolution
approving
preliminary
budget
to
establish
a
proposed
tax
levy,
amount
for
2023,
submitting
preliminary
tax
levy
amount
to
Hennepin,
County
and
authorizing
staff
to
prepare
a
joint
Powers
agreement
with
the
port
authority
to
provide
up
to
1.4
million
dollars
of
HRA
Levy
funds
to
be
used
for
development
and
Redevelopment
in
the
city
of
Bloomington.
C
The
reason
this
is
before
you
is
that
staff
has
been
made
aware
of
a
situation
that
impacts
certifying
the
Port
Authority
Levy
to
the
county
auditor.
There
is
a
state
statute
statute,
275.067
that
requires
taxing
jurisdictions,
certifying
their
Levy
for
the
very
first
time
to
notify
the
county
prior
to
July
1st.
This
statute
is
not
cited
in
the
Port
Authority
or
HRA
statutes
regarding
authority
to
Levy
and
as
a
result,
the
city
was
not
made
aware
of
this
requirement
prior
to
September
20th.
C
The
port
Authority's
legal
team
was
unaware
of
this
requirement
and
it
was
not
included
in
the
league
of
municipalities.
Important
dates
calendar
regarding
the
levy
process.
While
it
does
appear,
it
is
not
being
it
is
not
being
followed
in
other
surrounding
counties.
Hennepin
County
is
enforcing
the
statute
and
the
Bloomington
Port
Authority
Levy
is
unable
to
move
forward
for
tax
year
2023,
as
previously
approved
by
this
body
through
the
HRA
assessment
recommendations
by
staff.
C
We
have
also
learned
that
other
Hennepin
County
cities
were
also
unaware
of
this
July
1st
requirement
and
were
similarly
impacted
in
Prior
years.
Therefore,
the
HRA
still
has
the
authority
to
Levy
its
maximum,
as
it
has
previously
done,
and
so
staff
is
requesting
that
the
HRA
board,
rescind
resolution
2219
2022-19
excuse
me
setting
up
that
was
setting
up
proposed
tax
levy
amount
at
one
million
three
hundred
seventy
six
thousand
nine
hundred
sixty
nine
dollars
and
to
to
set
the
proposed
tax
levy
for
year
2023
at
the
estimated
2
million
seven
hundred.
C
Seventy
six
thousand
nine
hundred
sixty
nine
dollar
amount
and
three
advised
staff
to
prepare
a
joint
Services
agreement
between
the
HRA
and
the
Port
Authority,
with
1.4
million
dollars,
which
was
the
port
Authority's
proposed
Levy
amount
and
the
commensurate
amount.
The
HRA
was
proposing
to
reduce
its
Levy
to
be
transferred
to
the
port
authority
to
pay
for
development
and
Redevelopment
Services,
as
proposed
and
approved
in
the
HRA
assessment.
C
It
is
important
to
note
that
this
process
does
not
change
the
impact
to
Bloomington
residents.
Taxpayers.
Excuse
me:
the
maximum
HRA
tax
levy
amount
of
2
million,
seven
hundred
seventy
six
thousand
nine
hundred
sixty
nine
dollars
was
the
proposed
total
Levy
amount
for
the
HRA
and
the
Port
Authority
levies.
Combined
staff
must
submit
the
preliminary
tax
levy
resolution
no
later
than
September
30th
to
Hennepin
County
and
the
city
council
will
consider
the
final
HRA
Levy
in
December
in
your
packet.
C
Is
the
resolution
there's
one
resolution
with
those
four
items
that
are
included
in
the
motion.
There
is
an
updated
2023
budget
summary
to
include
the
maximum
estimated
HRA
Levy
and
the
1.4
million
in
the
Development
Fund
for
development
and
Redevelopment
activities
with
the
Port
Authority
Under,
a
joint
Powers
agreement,
and
there
also
is
an
updated
final
budget
attachment
in
your
packet.
The
assistant,
Port
Authority
administrator
Jason
Schmidt
is
here
as
well
as
our
CFO
Lori
economy,
scholler
and
the
hra's
accountant.
C
A
A
D
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
emphasize
for
the
dozens
of
folks
watching
at
home.
What
administrator
Coleman
said
that
this
does
not
have
an
impact
on
the
overall
tax
levy
in
the
city
of
Bloomington.
The
overall
number
that's
being
levied
is
is
would
have
been
the
same.
It's
just
the
HRA
Levy,
as
opposed
to
the
Port
Authority
Levy.
That
will
hopefully
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
next
year.
So
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
A
Right,
thank
you.
That
was
a
good
point.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
hearing
no
discussion?
I
will
now
call
for
a
vote
on
this
motion.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
I
opposed
motion
carries
five
to
zero.
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
new
business
item,
5.1
property
management
and
maintenance
services
agreement.
May
we
have
the
staff
report
please.
E
Hi
good
evening,
chair,
Lewis
and
Commissioners
again,
my
name
is
Anna
Salvador
and
I'm
a
program
specialist
in
the
HRA.
The
item
before
you
tonight
is
the
outcome
of
broader
goals
identified
in
both
the
HRA
board
strategic
plan,
but
also
in
recommendations
from
the
HRA
assessment
to
continue
to
improve
operational
efficiency
and
focus
on
Service,
Coordination
and
collaboration
for
affordable
home
ownership
opportunities.
The
HRA
currently
owns
and
leases
41
single-family
homes
through
this
throughout
the
city,
the
homes
are
rented
through
two
separate
programs.
E
Some
of
them
are
through
project-based
voucher,
Section
8,
and
some
of
them
are
a
part
of
our
rental
homes
for
future
home
buyers
program.
Currently,
the
staff
in
the
HRA
manage
those
properties.
They
coordinate
the
Capital,
Improvements
and
also
contract
for
regular
Property.
Management
excuse
me,
maintenance
and
managing
those
properties
takes
significant
staff
time
currently
there's
three
staff
that
kind
of
are
involved
in
the
regular
day-to-day
management
of
those
properties,
and
it
it
limits
capacity
to
focus
on
improving
program
success,
especially
around
home
ownership
outcomes
such
as
homeownership,
Readiness
and
things
of
that
nature.
E
So
in
response,
we
did
Issue
an
RFP
for
property
management
and
maintenance
services
through
the
RFP
process.
A
selection
committee
selected
Nath
management
to
take
on
those
day-to-day
responsibilities
of
property
management
and
maintenance,
and
so,
at
this
time,
staff
is
requesting
approval
to
enter
into
a
Services
agreement
with
Nath
management
for
those
services
for
those
HRA
owned
rental
properties
not
to
exceed
a
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
dollars
annually,
and
this
agreement
would
become
effective.
January
1st
2023.
B
A
B
A
A
C
Thank
you,
chair,
Lewis,
Erica,
Coleman,
HRA
administrator,
so
before
you
normally,
we
come
before
you
with
the
Community
Development
block
grant
on
an
annual
basis
for
the
budget
recommendation
to
for
approval
to
the
city
council,
as
well
as
the
annual
reports
most
recently,
the
Consolidated
annual
performance
evaluation
report
that
came
before
you,
but
this
evening.
What
I
have
is
that
as
we
manage
and
administer
the
activities
and
complete
the
reporting
requirements
for
the
Community
Development
block
grant
better
known
as
cdbg,
which
is
the
cities
Grant.
C
Our
the
funding
goes
to
support
home,
Rehabilitation,
Senior,
Services,
fair
housing
and
affordable
homeownership
activities.
The
annual
Grant
allocation
the
city
receives
is
is
about
468
thousand
dollars.
In
addition
to
program,
income
and
program,
income
are
repayments
from
the
rehabilitation
Loan
program.
C
Income
is
tracked
by
the
United
States
Department
of
Housing
Urban,
Development
and
requirements
for
the
amount
of
program
income
and
spending
it
on
approved
activities
must
be
followed,
so
there
has
been
an
increase
in
repayments
for
the
rehabilitation
loans.
Therefore,
there's
been
an
increase
in
our
program
income
available
and
there
is
a
need
to
spend
the
program
income
down
prior
to
May.
C
1St
2023,
when
HUD
completes
a
timeliness
test,
and
that
is
a
test
to
assess
activities
being
completed
with
the
cdbg
funding
and
so
to
assist
with
the
city
and
the
HRA
strategic
priorities
and
address
this
increase
in
program.
Income
staff
recommends
allocating
one-time
increase
of
funding
to
the
affordable,
homeownership
and
Senior
Services
activities.
The
affordable,
homeownership
activity
consists
of
West
Hennepin,
affordable
housing,
land
trust
that
they
purchase
single-family
homes
in
Bloomington,
rehabilitate
them
and
sell
them
to
income
qualified
families
for
Perpetual
affordability.
C
Normally
they
do
two
a
year,
so
we
would
be
asking
them
to
do
an
additional
one
property,
so
it'd
be
three
and
then
for
the
senior
activity.
Senior
Services,
it
consists
of
helping
elderly
age
62
or
older,
cdbg
or
HUD
does
have
a
definition
that
elderly
is
62,
not
60.,
and
so
with
household
and
outside
maintenance
and
Technology
support,
and
this
is
something
that
was
added
to
their
home
program
and
is
increasing,
and
so
we
would
be
looking
at
adding
one-time
service
one-time
funding
for
that.
C
So
the
total
funding
for
these
activities
would
be
ninety
five
thousand
dollars.
Seventy
five
thousand
dollars
for
a
property
to
be
rehabilitated
and
sold
to
an
income,
qualified
family
for
Perpetual
affordability
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
for
an
increase
to
Senior
Services,
which
would
be
helping
more
seniors
in
Bloomington,
with
household
and
outside
maintenance,
which
also
includes
Technology
support
and
so
I'm.
C
Looking
for
a
motion
to
support
that
recommendation,
as
the
amounts
do
not
require
a
separate
contract
to
be
to
go
through
city
council
or
anything
due
to
the
purchasing
policy,
the
purchasing
and
financial
procurement
policy
that
the
city
has.
So
this
would
just
be
signed
administratively.
But
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
were
aware
of
this
recommendation.
A
D
B
D
A
A
It
has
been
moved
by
commissioner
Thorson
to
approve
staff
recommendation
of
increased
one-time
cdbg
funding
for
affordable
home
ownership
and
Senior
Services
activities.
Is
there
any
discussion
hearing
none
I
will
now
call
for
a
vote
on
this
motion.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
I
opposed
the
motion
carries
five
to
zero.
A
C
You
can
go
to
blm.mn
forward,
slash
boards,
and
that
is
where
you
will
see
information.
There
are
three
seats
posted
to
new
seats
for
the
legislation.
That
was
the
only
successful
legislation,
we'll
just
say
that
at
the
State
for
Bloomington,
but
then
also
we
have
one
term
expiring,
so
everyone
just
applies
for
application,
so
that
is
available
and
it
doesn't
close
until
October
31st.
