From YouTube: February 6, 2019 Housing Policy & Development Committee
Description
Minneapolis Housing Policy & Development Committee Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
order,
our
meeting
this
is
a
meeting
of
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee
I'm
cam
Gordon
I'm,
chair
of
the
committee
and
I'm
joined
today
by
councilmembers
bender,
Ellison,
Schrader
and
Reich,
or
a
quorum
of
the
committee.
I
expect
councilmember
Goodman
to
arrive
soon
I,
just
as
everyone
has
their
agenda
in
front
of
them.
I
just
want
to
let
everyone
know
that
I'm
walking
on
an
item
for
the
agenda.
A
This
is
a
stable
home,
stable
schools,
term
sheet
agenda
item,
which
you
should
have
a
paper
copy
in
front
of
you
I
think
you
also
got
this
almost
in
its
exact
same
form,
email
to
you
this
afternoon,
I'm
gonna
put
that
on
the
consent
list
as
item
five
now
I'll
go
through
all
of
all
the
content
items
first
and
give
a
little
more
detail
to
this.
One
and
folks
can
pull
anything
off
if
they
have
questions
if
they
want
to.
A
The
first
consent
item
which
is
number
two
on
the
agenda,
is
the
minneapolis
homes
and
land
sales
development
assistant
funding
awards.
These
actually
relate
to
the
land
sales
that
will
be
the
subject
of
our
public
hearings.
The
next
consent
item
number
three:
is
the
2018
minneapolis
emergency
solutions
grant
street
outreach
funding
recommendations,
and
this
would
be
to
approve
those
up
to
$300,000
in
fundings
for
st.
Stephen's,
Human
Services
for
homeless
outreach
services
in
2019.
A
Next
consent
item
is
the
stable
home,
stable
schools
term
sheet,
and
this
would
be
two
actions
want
us
to
receive
and
file
the
term
sheet
and
also
to
ratify
approval
of
a
funding
agreement
with
the
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority
to
implement
the
program.
Anyone
want
to
pull
any
of
those
items
for,
or
questions
or
discussion,
seeing
none
then
Oh.
Councilmember
bender
has
a
question
about
one
of
the
reserved
Thank.
B
B
This
one
will
be
going
also
to
Ways
and
Means,
so
I
think
there's
opportunity
there
from
our
discussion
and
questions.
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions
that
I
had
sent
to
staff
that
just
want
to
alert.
You
know
share
with
my
colleagues,
which
is
number
one,
just
a
question
about
some
of
the
pieces
of
the
contracts
that
would
be
passing
through
mPHA
or
another
entity,
and
if
it
makes
sense
to
do
that,
or
rather
for
us
to
contract
directly,
for
example,
the
city
funds
that
we'd
be
going
for
the
evaluation
of
the
program.
B
For
discussion,
certainly
not
for
approval
or
for
coordination
among
policymakers
from
the
entities
that
are
working
together
and
I,
think
it's
a
bit
awkward
for
County
staff
to
keep
coming
to
our
committees
and
answering
our
questions
when
we
should
really
be
coordinating
on
that
higher
policymaker
level.
So
I'm
having
this
conversations,
I
think
any
council
member
should
feel
free
to
talk
with
their
own
County
commissioners
and
I.
Think
there's
a
real
need
for
us
to
have
a
better
coordination
again
on
the
policymaker
level
of
heading
home.
Hennepin
isn't
working
anymore
as
a
partnership.
B
A
Are
excellent
comments,
I
think.
In
fact,
I
was
surprised
that
this
hadn't
already
gone
to
heading
home,
Hennepin
for
more
conversation
and
I.
Think.
Hopefully
it
will
be
something
they
can't
go
there
and
can
be
reviewed
there
as
well
and
you're
absolutely
right.
This
is
also
going
to
be
referred
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
meeting
for
February
12th.
A
Seeing
no
other
discussion
of
questions,
then
I
will
move
the
consent
agenda,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say.
No,
that
motion
carries
and
I
will
move
on
to
item
1
and
there
it's
actually
a
rather
lengthy
item,
because
there's
six
different
different
resolutions
having
to
do
with
the
properties
that
are
for
sale,
we're
gonna
get
a.
A
C
You
good
afternoon,
chair
Gordon
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
Kevin
kinase
and
I'm,
a
senior
project
coordinator
with
C
Penn
I'm
here
today
with
action
items
for
the
Minneapolis
Holmes
Development
Assistance
Program.
The
program
itself
is
a
result
of
the
infill
housing
development
workgroup,
which
was
a
combination
of
staff,
external
partners
and
residents
input
on
housing
developments
on
city-owned
vacant
lots.
The
program
has
three
goals:
to
preserve,
affordable
homeownership
opportunities,
develop
city-owned
vacant
lots
and
to
improve
equitable
outcomes
in
contracting
and
homeownership.
C
In
August
of
2018,
the
City
Council
approved
the
development
assistance
program
of
evaluation
criteria
and
program
changes
to
the
program.
This
included
increasing
points
to
equity
and
our
evaluation
criteria,
a
combination
of
internal
staff
and
external
partners
from
Minnesota
Housing,
Twin,
Cities,
land
bank
and
list
reviewed
applicants
from
our
applications
from
13
developers
based
upon
the
council,
approved
evaluation
criteria.
Applicant
submitted
85
offers
on
50
to
individual
Lots.
Some
of
those
Lots
had
multiple
offers
and
of
the
13
applicants.
C
Everybody
is
the
number
one
scoring
criteria
and
is
evaluated
by
looking
at
historical
rate
of
service
to
households
of
color,
as
well
as
outreach
to
indigenous
households
and
households
below
50%
area
median
income.
We
also
look
to
their
proposed
marketing
and
outreach
methods
and
service
to
households
with
disabilities.
We
provide
preference
to
developers
of
color
and
women
led
development
companies
and
we
evaluate
commitments
to
partner
with
workforce
development
groups
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
also
look
at
the
efficiency
and
capacities
of
the
developer
to
actually
complete
the
projects.
C
As
part
of
this
process,
staff
provides
a
45-day
comment
to
review
period
to
neighborhood
groups
and
we
incorporate
the
responses
into
our
evaluation.
This
included
removing
3500
Humboldt
Avenue
north
from
recommendations,
because
the
following
a
bur
had
requested
that
it
be
held
as
a
community.
Carded
and
staff
is
also
proposing
to
subdivide
2419
16th
Avenue
South
for
a
side
yard,
some
earthen
Lynn
Mayo,
and
the
reason
for
that
being
is
that
city
owned
parcels
oversized
and
hearses
an
undersized
Percel.
C
The
program
goes
approved
by
City.
Council
include:
preserving,
affordable
home
ownership
opportunities
throughout
the
scene.
Minneapolis
the
homes
built
through
this
program
are
the
most
affordable
new
construction
homes
throughout
the
city
and
in
addition,
the
council
recently
in
august,
approved
an
increase
in
affordability.
Assistance
to
buyers
through
this
program,
lots
that
are
in
Northeast,
Minneapolis
and
South.
C
The
program
goals,
as
we've
seen
through
the
green
homes
north-north
program,
which
is
the
predecessor
minneapolis
homes,
speak
to
the
houses
that
we've
served
so
through
green
homes.
North
the
average
household
income
of
households
that
have
purchased
said
that
program
is
about
fifty
six
thousand
dollars
over
about
60%
ami
and
we've
also
seen
that
homes
or
households
that
have
purchased
through
that
program
are
about
68%
households
of
color,
similar
to
minneapolis
homes,
green
homes,
north
had
similar
funding
requirements
and
income
caps.
C
The
second
programmatic
goal
of
the
program
is
to
encourage
new
housing
development
on
city-owned
lots
and
for
this
program
were
proposing
to
fund
34
developments
and
of
those
19
are
actually
the
households
that
are
below
or
at
or
below,
80
percent
of
area
median
income
and
then
of
those
or
excuse
me,
19
properties,
10
or
for
long-term,
affordable
homes.
One
home
is
also
being
proposed
to
be
built
as
a
duplex
that
would
be
sold
to
280
ami
borrowers
and
then
another
property
is
incorporating
an
attached
ad
unit.
That
would
be
a
long-term,
affordable
property.
C
C
Total
number
of
developers
that
we
are
proposing
to
fund
and
sell
Lots
to
is
nine
developers.
Okay,
thank
you
and
for
this
program
in
particular,
we
held
an
information
session
and
had
about
60
attendees.
It
ranged
from
people
that
were
just
starting
in
the
development
to
those
that
were
very
well
established
developers,
and
we
also
make
referrals
to
business
developments
developer
technical
assistance
program,
which
is
their
DTaP
program,
they've
shared
with
us
that
about
80%
of
people
that
participate
in
that
program
actually
referred
by
our
our
staff
and
our
programs
compels
the
members.
C
Of
the
34
properties
that
are
proposed
for
sale,
24
or
in
North
Minneapolis
or
in
Northeast
Minneapolis
and
those
would
be
long-term,
affordable
properties
and
then
eight
homes
are
in
south
Minneapolis
and
would
also
be
long-term,
affordable
properties.
We
have
two
city
approved
long-term,
affordable
providers,
which
is
city
of
lakes,
Community,
Land,
Trust
and
Twin
Cities
Habitat
for
Humanity
and.
C
C
Kirra
Gordon
members
of
the
committee,
the
proposals
before
you
include
the
development
of
35
units
of
housing
on
34
vacant,
lots
with
us
partnering
with
nine
development
partners.
These
proposals
would
support
eleven
and
a
half
million
and
new
construction
of
housing,
as
well
as
construct
construction
jobs
in
the
city
and
with
leverage
2.9
million
dollars
of
city
resources,
including
funding
that
is
included
in
appropriation
for
Minnesota
housings
and
is
P
program
income
and
the
acceptance
of
a
Minnesota
Housing
Impact
Fund.
Grant
members
of
some
of
the
organizations
are
here
and
would
be
available
for
questions.
C
If
you
have
me
with
that
background,
I
would
like
to
move
a
recommendation,
as
outlined
in
the
report,
including
a
sale
of
the
34
properties
to
the
nine
developers,
the
sale
of
a
side
yard
that
had
2419
16th
Avenue
South
to
Martha
Ellen,
DeMayo,
appropriation
of
three
hundred
one
thousand
one
hundred
and
eleven
dollars.
Ninety
four
cents
of
NSP
program,
income
and
acceptance
of
a
Minnesota
Housing
impact
fund,
grant
of
eight
hundred
thousand
and
authorization
of
a
contract
between
the
city
and
Minnesota
Housing.
With
that
I'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
I.
A
A
C
With
this
RFP,
we
had
about
150
Lots
that
were
available.
Part
of
that
was
restricted
because
we
are
trying
to
achieve
our
objectives
with
NSP
program
goals.
We're
probably
gonna
be
increasingly
a
number
of
Laurens,
so
somewhere
I
would
imagine
between
150
to
200,
but
I
could
provide
you
a
more
accurate
number
later.
Oh.
A
D
Thank
you
mr.
chair
7
2.
Well,
just
that
kind
of
a
point
of
like
I,
really
appreciate
the
thoughtfulness
about
the
committee
yard.
I
know
that
that's
becoming
an
issue
as
land
is
becoming
more
scarce
and
worth
of
value.
I
know
that
myself
been
kind
of
trying
to
be
a
little
bit
more
thoughtful
about
how
we
preserve
a
land
that
can
be
used,
agriculturally
and
I.
Think
that's
gonna
be
a
bigger
discussion.
D
I'm
very
much
appreciate
that
kind
of
the
green
criteria
is
in
there
I
foresee
that
we're
going
to
be
moving
toward
a
lot
more
and
would
love
you
know
any
thoughts
on
what
we
can
do
now,
because
this
will
be
a
very
dramatic
shift
for
the
market
and
kind
of
construction.
What
we
can
do
now
to
make
that
easier?
Yes,
is.
A
B
You
mr.
chair,
appreciate
the
presentation.
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
you
know
a
number
of
us
were
at
the
Community
Connections
conference
over
the
weekend
and
there
was
quite
a
lot
of
interest
in
the
community
as
I
know,
staff
knows
about
you,
know
the
details
of
this
program
and
you
know
how
many
of
the
homes
are
held
permanently
affordable
and
you
know
even
some
questions
about.
B
Should
we
be
selling
this
land
to
private
owners,
or
should
we
be
holding
it
as
more
of
like
a
land
bank
strategy
and
I
know,
that's
a
shift
I
think
as
market
pressures
change
in
North
Minneapolis.
We
should
expect
there
to
be
a
shift
and
how
people
are
feeling
about
land
development
generally
and
housing.
E
You
mr.
chair,
well,
first
of
the
commune
of
Lakes
Land
Trust
is
always
welcome
in
Ward
1.
So
it's
definitely
good
news
and
then
also
on
that
point
that
councilmember
Schrader
raises
in
terms
of
energy
efficiency
and
a
greater
sort
of
prioritization
of
that.
Knowing
that
there's
a
balance,
there
I
think
the
department
has
sort
of
going
in
that
direction
and
maybe
that
it
would
be
a
timely
update
to
say
what
you're
thinking,
particularly
the
lower
unit,
a
development.
F
Good
afternoon
else,
report
manager,
residential
in
real
estate,
development
at
seedbed
housing,
the
question
about
putting
in
place
and
additional
requirements
to
cater
to
energy
efficiency
goals.
I
want
to
just
plan
to
see
that
we've
been
having
some
conversations.
Councilmember
Wright
has
been
this
leader
in
that
in
that,
in
that
front,
with
regards
to
passive
house
designs
for
single-family
development,
so
our
team,
in
conjunction
with
the
sustainability
office
canhe
visa
team,
have
been
having
some
conversations
about.
F
Is
there
a
way
for
us
to
do
a
pilot
as
part
of
the
minneapolis
homes
program,
to
help
inform
the
level
of
energy
efficiency
goals
and
criteria
that
we
put
in
place
so
clean
able
us
to
get
to
the
to
put
the
systems
in
place
for
for
future
future
development
of
single
family
units?
So
that's
where
we
are
at
this
point,
we
don't
have
anything
to
report
at
this.
This
face
the
conversations
are
ongoing
and
will
end
up
with
a
better
position
to
come
back
to
present
to
you
thanks.
Thank.
A
D
To
follow
up
on
that,
you
know,
the
energy
efficiency
is
just
one
part
of
it
and
I
the
question.
I
don't
know
kind
of
look
talking
to
developers
is:
is
it
better
to
have
kind
of
an
ala
carte,
like
many
choices,
because
it's
there's
a
lot
of
ways
to
reduce
our
carbon?
Passive
is
very
much
gonna,
be
much
more
comfortable
for
the
homeowner
and
reduce
their
bills,
but
also
just
in
the
construction
of
the
home.
I
know
that
believe
Ramsey
County
requires
for
some
of
their
housing
to
seventy
percent
of
the
debris
to
be
recycled.
D
A
Interesting
conversation
don't
see
any
of
the
questions
up
here.
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
think
it
was
a
lot
of
great
information.
He
laid
it
out
very
clearly
an
understandable
way
for
us
all.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
appreciate
it
now.
I
also
want
to
open
the
public
hearing
in
case
there's
anybody
here
who
wants
to
come
up
and
tell
us
what
they're
gonna
do
with
their
land
they
purchased
or
introduced
themselves.
You
certainly
are
excited
to
see
people
coming
forward
to
develop
and
build
homes
in
our
city.
G
Afternoon,
I'm
Alex,
Frank
part
of
Magnolia
homes,
just
a
quick
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
Minneapolis
home
program
through
a
few
projects.
Now
I
went
through
rehab
of
a
condemned
property
in
Hawthorne
neighborhood,
be
able
to
renovate
that
when
you
get
get
it
back
on
the
mark
and
have
a
family
and
that
one
now
round
to
participate
a
single-family
home
about
to
break
ground
on
that
one
in
whoever
camp
the
neighborhood
and
what
you
have
here
for
round
three
I
applied
for
the
duplex.
G
So
as
we
look
at
the
2040
plan,
I
think
this
fits
well
with
it.
You
look
at
the
housing
density
as
well
as
the
price
point
we're
going
for
so
I'm
looking
at
building
this
twin
home
and
being
able
to
sell
each
half
of
it,
each
one
being
a

less
