SECOND ITEM ON THE ORGANIZATIONAL BUSINESS IS FROM THE DISCUSSION AROUND THE [5:16] CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR 2025 TO 29 IS WHAT IS THE ANNUAL [5:24] ACTION PLAN A 2025 PRESENTED BY CYNTHIA ASSIST ADMINISTRATOR MICHAEL THE. [5:31] THERE'S SUZANNE. YEAH. OKAY. [5:36] THANK YOU CHAIR COMMISSIONERS I'M HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT OUR FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED [5:43] PLAN AND OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT THAT WE RECEIVE [5:48] FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. [5:54] SO. GREEN DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT OR CDBG AS AN ANNUAL [5:59] ALLOCATION WE GET FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IT'S BASED ON A FORMULA AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF INPUTS [6:06] THAT GO THROUGH TO KIND OF CALCULATE WHAT THAT ALLOCATION WOULD BE. WE GET THAT ACTUALLY TO THE [6:13] CITY BUT THE. AS YOU REMEMBER WE WENT TO AN AGREEMENT THAT WE ADMINISTER [6:21] THE GRANT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY SO ULTIMATELY THE CITY WILL ADOPT THE PLAN AND WE'LL [6:28] SUBMIT IT. BUT WE WANT TO BRING THIS TO YOU AS WE DO THE WORK ON YOU AND KIND OF GET YOUR INPUT AND FEEDBACK ON THE PLAN. [6:35] WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO A CONSOLIDATED PLAN EVERY FIVE YEARS AND WE DO AN ANNUAL ACTION PLAN EVERY YEAR TO [6:43] IDENTIFY WHAT ACTIVITIES FOR THAT YEAR WILL BE COMPLETED. SO A LITTLE REFRESHER ON [6:51] COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT THERE ARE THREE NATIONAL OBJECTIVES THAT ARE ACTIVITIES AND GOALS KIND OF FALL UNDER. [6:57] THE FIRST IS WHAT WE TYPICALLY WORK UNDER MOSTLY IS LOW AND MODERATE INCOME PEOPLE SERVED. YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT'S A BROAD [7:05] CATEGORY THAT WE CAN DO HOMELESSNESS, WE COULD DO HOUSING, WE CAN DO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN [7:10] ASSIST LOW AND MODERATE INCOME PEOPLE. IT COULD BE ON A GEOGRAPHIC BASIS OR IT CAN BE ON THE CLIENTS THAT WE'RE SERVING BUT [7:17] WE ALSO ARE ABLE TO DO. PREVENTION ELIMINATION OF SLUMS AND BLIGHT. [7:23] SO YOU CAN REMEMBER WE'VE PURCHASED HOUSES IN THE PAST ACQUISITION AND DEMOLISHED ON THAT WOULD FIT UNDER THAT CATEGORY AND THEN ANOTHER [7:31] CATEGORY WE HAVEN'T REALLY USED AS MUCH AS. PARTICULAR URGENCY. THIS USUALLY IS LIKE A NATURAL DISASTER OR THERE'S A PIPE [7:38] BURST OR SOMETHING. THE GRANT IS BROAD AND USE THAT WE CAN DO BUT THIS ISN'T ONE THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD TO [7:44] REALLY UTILIZE IN THE PAST. SO THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN AS I [7:49] MENTIONED IS A FIVE YEAR PLAN WE UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS. GENERALLY SPEAKING THIS IS [7:56] HUD'S WAY OF GETTING COMMUNITIES TO DO SOME COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING. SO BLOOMINGTON AND BEING [8:04] IN MINNESOTA PART OF THE METRO WE DO A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVERY TEN YEARS WE'RE REQUIRED [8:10] TO BY STATE WE'RE VERY DETAIL ORIENTED WITH OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT. WE DO A LOT OF PLANNING [8:16] EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THIS IS KIND OF GETTING AT THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT DON'T DO THAT BROAD BREADTH [8:22] OF ANALYSIS AND REVIEW TO GET THEM TO DO AT LEAST DO A LITTLE BIT. SO THIS PLAN IS VERY KIND [8:30] OF STRUCTURED IN A CERTAIN WAY. THERE'S CERTAIN DATA THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT BUT UNDERSTAND THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND [8:37] THAT IN OUR NORMAL ACTIVITIES AND OUR IS ROOTED IN A LOT MORE OF OUR PLANNING PROCESS [8:45] AND YOU'LL SEE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS WE HAVE OUR. ALL THING HIT ALL THINGS IN HOUSING REPORT PRESENTED AND THAT WOULD COVER A LOT [8:52] OF THOSE DETAILS THAT REALLY INFLUENCE THIS PLAN IN A MUCH MORE IMPACTFUL WAY. [8:59] BUT LIKE I MENTIONED IT'S VERY STRUCTURED. THERE'S BOXES WE FILL OUT I LIKE THIS GRAPHIC BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY KIND OF HOW IT IS WE [9:05] PUT IT INTO A SYSTEM AND FILL OUT DIFFERENT CATEGORIES AND IT IS KIND OF LIKE CHECKING THE BOX A LITTLE BIT BUT WE DO [9:11] PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO IT AND YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF IT RELATES TO WHAT HAS BEEN PREVIOUS [9:18] WE'VE BEEN IDENTIFIED BUT THE MAJOR COMPONENTS THERE'S A CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN YOU DO A BASIC NEEDS ASSESSMENT [9:23] AND AS A RESULT OF THOSE NEEDS YOU COME UP WITH A STRATEGIC PLAN AND THEN YOUR ACTION PLAN [9:30] AND PLAN IS HOW YOU'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT THAT FOR THE YEAR . SO OUR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY [9:38] REAL CHANGES TO THAT. IT STAYS RELATIVELY CONSISTENT BUT INCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND HOW WE WILL HOST [9:45] PUBLIC HEARINGS WHERE WE'LL POST OUR NOTICES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. [9:52] RIGHT NOW I'LL SAY THIS IS VERY MUCH A DRAFT. THERE'S STILL A LOT TO BE UPDATED IN HERE. [9:58] BROADLY SPEAKING THE TOPICS AND ACTIVITIES ARE WHAT WE WOULD WANT IN THERE BUT [10:04] THERE'S LITTLE REFINEMENT THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH LANGUAGE AND PROOFREADING THAT STILL NEEDS TO HAPPEN BUT FROM A [10:13] BROADER PERSPECTIVE WE ALSO WANT TO GET SOME INPUT FROM DURING HERE AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE OUR PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS [10:21] WHICH WILL OPEN IN A FEW WEEKS HERE. SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO SOLICIT THAT INPUT SO THAT NEEDS [10:27] ASSESSMENT. LIKE I SAID, IT'S VERY STRUCTURED. IT GETS A LITTLE WONKY AND WHAT THEY REQUIRE IN THERE BUT [10:35] A BIG PART OF IT IS HOUSING. WE FOCUS A LOT ON HOUSING. [10:40] WE UTILIZE OUR COMMUNITY BANK BLOCK GRANT FOR HOUSING AND REALLY WANTS TO IDENTIFY WHAT ARE THE BIG ISSUES OR NEEDS THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED [10:47] FIRST. BLOOMINGTON WE'RE FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT WE DON'T HAVE WHAT'S CALLED SEVERE HOUSING [10:52] ISSUES ON A GRAND SCALE SO SEVERE HOUSING ISSUES ARE EITHER PAIN HOUSING COSTS THAT ARE OVER. [10:58] I THINK IT'S I CAN'T REMEMBER IT'S 40% OR 50% OF YOUR INCOME [11:04] MIGHT BE 50. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THAT. I MEAN IT DOES HAPPEN A LITTLE [11:09] BIT BUT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE PAYING OVER 50% FOR HOUSING. THE OTHERS ARE OVERCROWDING. [11:16] THAT DOES HAPPEN A LITTLE BIT TOO WHERE MORE THAN 1.5 ON AVERAGE PEOPLE PER BEDROOM. [11:23] SOMETIMES THAT DOES HAPPEN. WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE PER ROOM YOU KNOW, KIDS AND TWO ADULTS IN A TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT. THAT DOES HAPPEN BUT NOT ON A [11:31] SCALE THAT'S ANYTHING THAT'S OF CONCERN. AND THEN THE OTHER SEVERE HOUSING ISSUES ARE LACK OF COMPLETE KITCHEN OR LACK [11:39] OF PLUMBING. THAT'S NOT REALLY AN ISSUE IN BLOOMINGTON, ESPECIALLY IN OUR RENTAL UNITS THAT GET LICENSED AND HAVE REVIEW. [11:46] SO THE GOOD NEWS IS WE DON'T HAVE THAT THOSE SEVERE ISSUES TO WORRY ABOUT BUT THE BAD [11:54] NEWS IS WE STILL HAVE COST BURDEN. YOU KNOW, UP HERE EVERY WEEK OR TWO WEEKS I JUST ADOPTED OUR SHELTER TO REVIEW, YOU [12:02] KNOW, AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISSUES. RIGHT. AND IT'S RELATED TO HOUSING COST BURDEN AND PAYING MORE [12:09] THAN 30% OF YOUR INCOME. IT'S NOT REALLY A GEOGRAPHIC AREA THAT'S IMPACTED MORE SO THAN THE OTHERS. [12:15] IT'S KIND OF BROADLY ACROSS THE CITY, WHICH IS WHY YOU SEE THESE KIND OF BROAD ACTIVITIES. WE DO. [12:21] THE PLAN ALSO GETS INTO A LOT OF ECONOMIC DATA. WE HISTORICALLY HAVEN'T DONE ECONOMICS UNDER THIS PLAN. [12:29] WE DO ACKNOWLEDGE IT IN THE PLAN BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE WANT TO DO IN THE FUTURE. YOU'LL NOTICE CAUSE I KNOW [12:34] THAT I'LL GET A LITTLE MORE DETAIL LATER BUT IT DOES KIND [12:40] OF REVIEW JUST DIFFERENT INDICATORS FOR ECONOMIC ECONOMIC INDICATORS BUT LIKE I [12:48] SAID WE WE TYPICALLY DON'T UTILIZE OUR GRANT FOR THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE OTHER SOURCES [12:56] IS THAT WE HAVE A WHOLE PORT AUTHORITY DOING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WITH THIS RESOURCES IMPLEMENTED WE'RE ALSO SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT [13:05] BROADBAND ACCESS NOT REALLY MUCH OF AN ISSUE IN BLOOMINGTON. WE ALL HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET BROADBAND I THINK THROUGHOUT [13:12] THE CITY BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT IS SOMETHING WE MIGHT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NOT EVERYONE HAS DIRECT ACCESS TO IT AND [13:18] THERE MIGHT BE OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THAT ACCESS TO THOSE RESIDENTS AND [13:24] AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE AS WELL. YOU GET TO THAT URGENCY BULLET UNDER THE NATIONAL OBJECTIVE WE HAVE A FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT [13:32] KIND OF TAKES THE LEAD ON OUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND THEY'RE CONTINUALLY UPDATING AND DOING [13:37] DRILLS AND BEING PREPARED. SO NOT SOMETHING THAT REALLY IMPACTS US IN OUR GRANT NEEDS [13:46] . SO AFTER THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT WE DEVELOP THESE KIND OF HIGHER LEVEL PRIORITIES THAT OUR GOALS WOULD FIT UNDER [13:51] AND IT SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISING CREATING MULTIFAMILY RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES, CREATING SINGLE [13:58] FAMILY HOME OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS, EDUCATION OUTREACH SERVICES, PUBLIC [14:05] SERVICES, NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION AND GETS TO OUR REHAB PROGRAM STIMULATE [14:12] ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGAIN, WE WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT IN THERE EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T DO A WHOLE LOT OF THOSE ACTIVITIES WE WANT THE [14:17] OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. MAYBE IN THE FIVE YEARS COMING IN AN ADMINISTRATION AND FAIR [14:24] HOUSING FITS UNDER OUR ADMINISTRATION AS WELL. SO WE HAVE 22 DIFFERENT GOALS [14:32] THAT WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED. THEY ALL KIND OF NEST UNDER THOSE PRIORITIES. I WON'T GO THROUGH THEM ALL [14:39] BUT WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THESE FOR REHAB HOMEBUYERS ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS [14:47] REHABBING OUR OWNER, OUR RENTAL PROGRAM BUILDINGS CAN FALL UNDER THAT. [14:55] FAIR HOUSING IS ONE THAT WE ARE REQUIRED UNDER BECAUSE WE GET COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO AFFIRMATIVELY FAIR FOR THEIR [15:02] FAIR HOUSING AND SO WE ACTUALLY UTILIZE OUR DOLLARS TO GO INTO A REGIONAL FAIR [15:07] HOUSING GROUP THAT KIND OF DOES A MUCH BETTER JOB THAN WE COULD DO ON AN INDIVIDUAL SCALE AND KIND OF CONNECTS [15:15] DIFFERENT RESOURCES TO OUR COMMUNITY TO JUST ADDRESS THE FAIR HOUSING NEEDS. [15:20] SO WITH THAT THIS YEAR OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN WE'RE [15:25] LOOKING TO FOCUS OUR DOLLARS ON OUR HOMEOWNER REHAB ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WHAT WE TYPICALLY DO WE HAVE PUBLIC [15:33] SERVICE DOLLARS THAT WE WILL HOPEFULLY BE AWARDING HERE SOON. IN THE PAST THAT'S GONE TO [15:40] SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES BUT WE WANT TO KIND OF BRING THAT AND SEE IF THERE'S OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE MIGHT DO THIS YEAR. [15:47] AGAIN, THOSE FAIR HOUSING ACTIVITIES DEVELOP HOMES FOR HOME OWNERSHIP. WE SEE THIS AS A POTENTIAL [15:52] RESOURCE TO KIND OF SUPPLEMENT THE BLOOMINGTON HOME OWNERSHIP PROGRAM POTENTIALLY AND THEN [15:59] HAVE REHAB OF RENTAL UNIT UNITS IN THERE AND I'LL GET INTO THAT. IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT EASIER [16:06] TO EXPLAIN WITH THE BUDGET ON THE NEXT PAGE. SO WE HAVE HERE KIND [16:14] OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT COLUMNS. ONE IS THE CARRYOVER. SO THESE ARE FUNDS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE THAT WE HAVEN'T [16:20] EXPENDED. THIS IS ALL JUST KIND OF ESTIMATES AT THIS POINT. WE'LL SEE IF WE HAVE ANY CARRYOVER FOR OUR REHAB [16:26] PROGRAM. AGAIN, WE MIGHT EXPEND ALL OF IT BEFORE THE NEXT PROGRAM [16:33] YEAR STARTS. SO THE PROGRAM YEAR STARTS IN JULY AND SO THIS WAS JUST KIND OF A GUESS. [16:39] BUT WE ALSO HAVE IN THAT COLUMN REHAB OF RENTAL FOR 230,000. THIS RELATES TO COVID 19 FUNDS [16:47] THAT WE HAVE THAT WE NEED TO EXPEND TO SPEND THIS YEAR. SO WE ARE TARGETING THAT TOWARD REHABBING OUR RENTAL [16:54] UNITS THAT WE OWN KNOWING THAT WE HAD DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AS A RESULT OF COVID 19 NOT BEING ABLE TO GET INTO UNITS AND DO [17:00] SOME OF THOSE REPAIRS, WE CAN UTILIZE THE DOLLARS FOR THAT [17:05] BEGINNING BACK TO REHAB. WE ARE ESTIMATING AT ABOUT [17:12] 160,000 FOR OUR REHAB PROGRAM. WE KIND OF BROKE IT OUT HERE FOR ACCOUNTING REASONS. LEAD PAINT TESTING IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO AS [17:17] PART OF THAT REHAB AND WE ARE ALSO STARTING TO DO THIS YEAR RADON TESTING. [17:24] SO FOR OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT LIKES IT BROKEN OUT A LITTLE BIT BUT THAT'S ALL KIND OF ALL UNDER THE REHAB PROGRAM. [17:31] AND THEN WE ALSO GET PROGRAM INCOME AS YOU CAN SEE THAT'S A LARGE PART OF OUR PROGRAM. SO THESE IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN MORTGAGE LOANS AND THOSE LOANS [17:39] GET REPAID UPON SALE OR THEIR TRANSACTION AND THAT COMES IN AS PROGRAM INCOME THAT WE [17:47] USE. THEY WRITE BACK INTO THE PROGRAM TO FUND MORE REHAB AND THEN AGAIN 150 FOR DEVELOPING [17:54] OF HOMEOWNERSHIP FOR THE BUYER PROGRAM OUR 50,000 FOR PUBLIC SERVICE DOLLARS THAT COULD BE SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES. [18:02] IT COULD BE WE COULD BE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OPERATING A FOOD SHELF THESE ARE KIND OF DIRECT TO PEOPLE TO SERVE. IT'S NOT A TANGIBLE ITEM. [18:10] IT'S KIND OF A AND BECAUSE OF THAT IT ENDS UP BEING A CAP [18:16] OF 20% THAT WE CAN ALLOCATE SO WE'RE NOT QUITE AT THAT 20% BUT THERE IS SOME LIMITATIONS [18:23] TO HOW MUCH WE CAN DO THERE AND SIMILARLY OUR ADMINISTRATION IS CAPPED CAPPED AT 20% AND SO THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN SEE FAIR HOUSING [18:32] COUNTS TOWARD THAT CAP. SO WE KIND OF LOWERED OUR AMOUNT. [18:38] SO ALL THINGS SAID WE ARE ESTIMATING 450,000 ALLOCATION. LAST YEAR WE HAD ABOUT 475. [18:45] THE YEAR BEFORE THAT I THINK WAS 456. SO I WAS TRYING TO BE A LITTLE CONSERVATIVE THIS YEAR KNOWING [18:52] THE CLIMATE THAT WE'RE IN. SO WITH THAT THIS IS LIKE I SAID VERY MUCH A DRAFT PLAN [18:59] WHEN WE GET THOSE ACTUAL ALLOCATION FROM HUD WE WILL UPDATE THESE NUMBERS AND WE'LL [19:06] BE ABLE TO KIND OF GET SOME MORE FIRM DATES BEFORE OUR FARM FIRM NUMBERS BEFORE WE SUBMIT TO HUD IF IT DOES COME [19:14] BACK THAT THERE IS A REDUCTION POTENTIALLY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THERE'S WAYS THAT WE CAN KIND OF SUPPLEMENT THE [19:22] PROGRAM THAT PROGRAM INCOME THAT'S NOT GOING TO GO DOWN. THAT'S THAT'S GENERALLY ABOUT [19:29] WHAT WE GET 300,000 A YEAR SOME YEARS WE IT'S WAY HIGH WE HAVE TO SPEND THAT SOME YEARS IT'S A LITTLE BIT LOWER BUT [19:36] 300 HAS BEEN ABOUT ON AVERAGE WHAT WE'VE RECEIVED SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT REHAB WAS ABOUT [19:45] 130,000 OUT OF 530. SO IF OUR ALLOCATION GOES DOWN [19:53] THERE IS OPPORTUNITY TO LOWER THAT NUMBER. IT COULD MEAN POTENTIALLY LESS LOANS THAT WE'RE DOING OR WE [19:58] COULD PURSUE OTHER DOLLARS EITHER FROM THE HRA LEVY OR OTHER GRANTS THAT ARE OUT [20:05] THERE TO HELP SUPPLEMENT A LITTLE BIT. SO THERE IS WAYS FOR US TO KIND OF SUPER SMOOTH THAT IF IT HAPPENS. [20:12] BUT AT THIS POINT WE HAVE NOT BEEN COMMUNICATED THAT THERE WOULD BE ANY REDUCTION. SO WE ARE JUST CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD AS IF BUSINESS AS [20:20] USUAL AND WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR [20:27] THOUGHTS AND WE CAN ALWAYS INCORPORATE THINGS INTO THE PLAN AS WELL. [20:32] PEOPLE I SHOULD HAVE PROBABLY HAD A PROCESS SLIDE IN HERE I'M THINKING ABOUT THAT NOW [20:38] BUT ESSENTIALLY YOU WILL BE GIVING A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL CITY COUNCIL AS A [20:44] PUBLIC HEARING ON APRIL 14TH ABOUT THE PLAN WE HAVE OPEN [20:50] COMMENT PERIOD. WE'LL HAVE KIND OF A CLEAN VERSION THAT ADDRESSES KIND OF PROOFREADING AND MORE FIRMED UP HOPEFULLY BY MARCH [21:01] 28TH IS WHEN WILL OPEN THAT WE HAVE A 30 DAY COMMENT PERIOD THROUGH MAY. SO WE'RE UNIQUE THAT WE ALSO [21:07] FALL UNDER HENNEPIN COUNTY UNDER THEIR HOME CONSORTIUM. SO WE THEN SUBMIT TO HENNEPIN COUNTY WHO ALSO HAS A COMMENT [21:15] PERIOD AND THEY ULTIMATELY WILL SUBMIT OUR PLAN IN MIDDLE OF MAY AFTER THEIR COUNTY BOARD VOTES ON IT AND THEN THE [21:23] PROGRAM YEAR STARTS IN JULY. ANY QUESTIONS WE CAN BE SORT [21:31] OF A FEATURE I'M CURIOUS ABOUT WHEN YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE SEVERE HOUSING ISSUES, HOW DO [21:38] WE MEASURE THAT OR PEOPLE LIKE SELF REPORTING OR HOW DO WE ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON? [21:43] YEAH I CHAIR COMMISSION REVIEW THAT THAT THIS COMES ACTUALLY [21:49] FROM THE CENSUS BUREAU THEY THEY DO I THINK I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER EXACTLY I THINK IT [21:55] COMES FROM THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY BUT THEY ALSO HAVE WHAT'S CALLED THE CHAIRS [22:01] COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING I THINK SOMETHING OR OTHER AS I'LL [22:09] JUST REFER TO AS CHAIRS BUT THEY PROVIDE THAT DATA TO US. SO THERE IS A SURVEY METHODOLOGY IN WHICH THEY GO [22:14] THROUGH THAT. SO THERE IS SOME ERRORS THAT WE FIND AND THAT IS INTERESTING. [22:20] THERE WERE A COUPLE OTHER SHOWS THAT WE HAVE LACK OF COMPLETE KITCHEN AND IT'S LIKE 50 UNITS AND YOU'RE GOING WELL THAT'S VERY UNLIKELY [22:27] IN BLOOMINGTON THAT WE DON'T HAVE WE HAVE UNITS WITHOUT A COMPLETE KITCHEN AND KNOWING THAT IT'S A RENTAL UNIT THAT'S [22:35] INSPECTED LIKE SO THAT THERE IS A MARGIN OF ERROR TO IT THAT WE LOOK AT AND I, I HAVE GONE INTO THE DETAIL TO MAKE [22:43] SURE THAT THERE ISN'T ACTUALLY AN ISSUE AND THAT IT DOES FALL WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR. THANK YOU. [22:50] A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS. THE ECONOMICS PIECE OF IT I KNOW WE HAVEN'T TRADITIONALLY SPENT A WHOLE TON OF TIME ON [22:55] IT BUT GIVEN THAT THE PORT HAS EXPANDED CITYWIDE, I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD TIME FOR US [23:01] TO START HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS. I DON'T THINK THE JURY NECESSARILY NEEDS TO LEAD IT GIVEN THE WHAT THE PORT [23:08] SUPPOSED TO DO AND IS DOING SO BUT I THINK IT'S A HUGE PIECE THAT TIES HAND IN HAND WITH HOUSING THAT WE SHOULD REALLY [23:15] START INCORPORATING INTO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO IN THE PROGRAMING THAT WE HAVE. AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION [23:22] WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE 20 GOALS, 20 IS A LOT TO SHARE HOW WE'RE PRIORITIZING THAT [23:29] AND GETTING FOCUS AND MAKING PROGRESS IN ALL 20 OF THESE GOALS. YEAH. CHAIR COMMISSION MCGUIRE SO [23:37] THE WAY THAT IT KIND OF WORKS IS NOT NECESSARILY THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS ALL 20 GOALS [23:43] BUT IF THE GOAL IS NOT THERE WE CANNOT ADDRESS IT IN THE FUTURE. SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY LEAVING [23:48] THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO PURSUE THAT IN THE FUTURE. SO YES, 20 IS A LOT. [23:55] WE'RE ONLY REALLY ADDRESSING 4 OR 4 IN THIS YEAR AND WE [24:01] PROBABLY WILL BE ADDRESSING THE SIMILAR SAME FORUM IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. IT COULD BE THAT WE WANT TO DO [24:09] ECONOMICS SO WE KEPT THAT IN THERE AND FUNNY ENOUGH WE WAS JUST TALKING WITH SOME PART MEMBERS TODAY ABOUT THAT POTENTIAL IN THE FUTURE LIKELY [24:16] NOT THIS YEAR BUT MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE CAN HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND ON WHAT WE WOULD FUND. [24:22] SO ESSENTIALLY THOSE GOALS ARE NOT NECESSARILY THAT WE HAVE TO BUT IT LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN FOR FUTURE OPPORTUNITY. [24:28] SO I HAVE A QUESTION AS TO VOICEOVER AND ALONG THE SAME LINE ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS [24:36] TO ADDITIONAL GOALS THAT MIGHT COME UP GIVEN THE STATE OF THE NATIONAL CLIMATE RIGHT NOW WITH THINGS HAPPENING WE MAY [24:42] HAVE A GOAL THAT POPS UP HERE IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO BASED ON WHAT'S HAPPENING NATIONALLY. IS THERE EXCEPTIONS FOR THIS [24:47] CHAIR ULTIMATELY OF WHAT THAT WOULD DO WOULD TRIGGER AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN SO WE [24:52] COULD AMEND IT IN THE FUTURE AND WE HAVE DONE THAT WHEN PROJECTS POP UP THAT NEED FUNDING IT BECOMES A NEED, IT [24:59] BECOMES A PRIORITY. WE DIDN'T IDENTIFY IT BECAUSE TWO YEARS AGO WE DIDN'T KNOW OF THIS OPPORTUNITY AND SO WE [25:05] HAVE THE ABILITY TO AMEND AND MAKE THOSE CHANGES IN THE FUTURE IF NEEDED. GOOD BECAUSE WE WANT TO GIVE [25:10] OURSELVES A LEASE OPTION FOR THAT BUT I'LL JUST SAY PURSUING THIS ROUTE TO KIND OF LEAVES US THAT FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE IT IS YOU KNOW WE HAVE [25:17] A PROCESS TO GO THROUGH AND IT'S NOT QUICK WHEREAS NEXT YEAR WE CAN JUST JUMP RIGHT [25:24] INTO ONE OF THESE CALLS IF WE NEED TO RATHER THAN HAVING TO GO BACK THROUGH THE 30 DAY COMMENT PERIOD AND DO ALL THAT [25:29] TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT SO WE TRY TO KEEP IT AS BROAD TO AVOID HAVING TO DO THAT BUT THAT IS [25:35] AN OPTION IF IT DOES HAPPEN IN ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. SO NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS I'D ASK FOR A MOTION TO MOVE TO [25:43] RECOMMEND ADOPTION OF THE 2025 THE 2029 CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND [25:50] ALSO THE 20 TO 25 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN TO THE CITY COUNCIL GETTING A MOTION SO MOVED IT'S MOVED BY ME SO WE [25:58] SECOND THEY CAN MAKE IT EASY CAN I CALL A QUESTION ON A WAIVER RIGHT I FIVE EYES ANY [26:05] NAYS AND THE MOTION CARRIES 5 [26:10] TO 0 SO NOW WE HAVE THE ADDENDUM AND IT 6.206.10 JESUS [26:20] I'M TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF MYSELF 6.1 UNDER NEW BUSINESS THERE. [26:29] ALL RIGHT GOOD EVENING CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS AND THIS IS A LOCAL HOUSING TRUST FUND GRANTS PROGRAM. SO JUST A LITTLE BIT [26:34] OF BACKGROUND. THIS FUNDING WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2021 AT THE SAME TIME AS THE METRO SALES TAX. [26:41] SO IT'S CONNECTED TO A LOT OF THE PROGRAMS AND FUNDING FOR HOUSING THAT CAME OUT AT THAT TIME. THE STATE IS JUST ISSUING A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR [26:48] OPENING APPLICATIONS FOR THIS FUNDING. THIS IS ONE TIME FUNDING BUT IT FOLLOWS KIND OF GENERALLY SOME OF THE SAME RESTRICTIONS [26:55] AS A LACK OF FUNDS ALTHOUGH IT IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT LESS RESTRICTIVE THAN THE LARGER FUNDS. BUT THIS IS ESSENTIALLY OUR [27:01] PROPOSAL TO SUBMIT THAT APPLICATION NEXT WEEK. [27:06] SO INFORMATION ABOUT THE GRANT APPLICATION WE ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE UP TO $225,000 IN MATCHING FUNDS. [27:14] THE WAY IT WORKS IS KIND OF LIKE A TIERED MATCHING SYSTEM WHERE FOR THE FIRST 150,000 THAT WE PUT INTO AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND [27:21] THEY'LL MATCH DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR AND THEN THE NEXT 250,000 THEY'LL MATCH A 50%. SO THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE [27:26] 300,000 THAT WE NEED TO CONTRIBUTE FOR THE MATCH TO GET 225 I WILL SAY IT SEEMS LIKE THE STATE IS EXPECTING [27:32] THIS TO BE A LOT MORE COMPETITIVE THAN INITIALLY ANTICIPATED. SO I THINK YOU KNOW, GRANT APPLICATIONS ARE NEVER A SURE [27:40] THING AND ALSO I THINK THAT THAT INITIAL THE SECOND STAGE WAS AND IF FUNDS ARE AVAILLE SO I THINK THERE ARE SOME [27:48] QUESTIONS AROUND HOW MUCH WOULD WE GET. OF COURSE, YOU KNOW IT'S A GRANT APPLICATION BUT JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT FOR YOU ALL AS PART OF THE [27:56] REQUIREMENTS OF THIS WE DO HAVE TO DO ANNUAL REPORTING TO MINNESOTA HOUSING AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD COME [28:03] BEFORE THIS BOARD AS A REPORTING MECHANISM. THE TIMELINE THERE IS A THREE YEAR TIMELINE BUT YOU CAN [28:11] REQUEST AN EXTENSION OF UP TO TWO YEARS AND THEN YOU HAVE THAT PERIOD TO USE THE FUNDS. OUR PROPOSAL IS TO USE THE [28:18] BLOOMINGTON AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP FUND AS THE KIND OF LIKE THE PROGRAM THAT'S USING THESE DOLLARS. [28:24] THERE'S A COUPLE OF REASONS FOR THAT. ONE IS THAT WE THINK THAT THIS WILL BE A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE [28:29] PROGRAM FOR THIS APPLICATION BECAUSE OF THE NEEDS THAT ADDRESSES AND IT'S VERY INNOVATIVE AND CREATIVE. [28:36] I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT THOUGHT THERE BUT WE THINK THAT THIS OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE ELIGIBLE THIS [28:42] IS THE MOST COMPETITIVE AND THEN THIS IS A GRAPHIC THAT [28:50] SHOWSHE MATCHING MECHANISM THAT I JUST EXPLAINED SO IT'S DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR OF 250,000 [28:57] AND THEN 50% FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED 50,000. SO THE MATCHING MECHANISM FOR THIS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS THE HRA DEVELOPMENT FUND AND [29:04] THIS GETS BACK TO WHY WE'RE WANTING TO USE THE AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM TO APPLY [29:09] IS BECAUSE WE'RE ANTICIPATING USING DEVELOPMENT FUND DOLLARS TO FOR THIS PROGRAM. SO THIS IS A GOOD IT'S A GOOD [29:16] MATCH OF FUNDING THAT WE ANTICIPATE TO USE FOR MAJOR. [29:22] >> OKAY. AND THEN WE GET INTO NEXT STEPS. SO WE WILL BE EXPECTING TO SUBMIT THIS APPLICATION NEXT [29:28] WEEK. IT'S DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY. DECISIONS ARE IN THE SUMMER [29:34] OF THIS YEAR AND THEN A GRANT AGREEMENT WOULD ALSO TAKE PLACE IN THE SUMMER OF THIS [29:39] YEAR AND SO THE RESOLUTION TONIGHT APPROVES ALL OF THOSE ACTIONS IN THIS ACTION THE [29:46] APPLICATION, THE MATCH AND THE ENTERING INTO A FORMAL AGREEMENT WITH MINNESOTA HOUSING WHICH NO QUESTIONS [30:01] THOSE QUESTIONS DO WE NEED AN APPROVAL? DO WE NEED A MOTION IS CAN USE THEM OKAY SO I MOVE NOW THAT [30:08] WE HAVE A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE APPLY FOR LOCAL HOUSING AND TRUST FUND GRANT FUNDS AND [30:15] EXECUTE A GRANT AGREEMENT AND MAKE A RELATED BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED LOCAL MATCH CAN I GET A MOTION SO [30:23] MOVED BY MOTION OVER HERE SECOND THANK YOU MY COMMISSIONER. EASY ALL IN FAVOR I ALL [30:31] OPPOSED NO NO NAYS SO FIVE I HAVE IT NOW THE 6.2 ADDITIONS [30:38] WALK ON THAT LETTER OF SUPPORT AND IT'S GOING TO BE PRESENTED BY MRS. ABE. [30:45] YES. OKAY. SO THE REASON FOR THIS WALK ON ITEM I GO TO THE FIRST SLIDE [30:52] HERE THIS IS KIND OF A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY. WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING LETTERS OF SUPPORT LIKE THIS BEFORE THE BOARD AND THAT'S BECAUSE [30:59] OF TIMING AS I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW. THINGS TEND TO MOVE VERY QUICKLY AT THE STATE LEGISLATURE. SO GENERALLY SPEAKING AS LONG AS SOMETHING ALIGNS WITH THE [31:07] OFFICIAL PLATFORM THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, WE WILL ADVANCE IT IN THIS CASE THE TIMING DEADLINE UP TO DO THIS AS A [31:15] WALK ON ITEM AND FELT THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PROPOSALS THAT HAVE REALLY DIRECT IMPACT ON THE HRA AND [31:22] SO IT MIGHT BE A STRONGER LETTER OF SUPPORT TO HAVE THE BOARD VOTE ON THE LETTER. THERE ARE HARD COPIES OF THE LETTER IN FRONT OF YOU AS WELL [31:27] AS HARD COPIES OF THE SPECIFIC BILL BUT THESE ARE OF COURSE [31:34] IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY'S PLATFORM ALREADY AND I'LL NOTE THERE ARE CONVERSATIONS AROUND THE YES TO HOUSING BILL. [31:39] I KNOW OCCURRING IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT SPACES THESE THIS BILL IS NOT PART OF THAT. [31:46] THOSE ARE MOSTLY BEING MANAGED THROUGH THE THE PLANNING DIVISION OF THE CITY BECAUSE OF THEIR IMPACT ON ZONING. [31:53] SO THE LETTER OF SUPPORT BEFORE YOU THAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO VOTE ON TODAY FOCUSES [31:58] ON ONLY TWO BILLS 1HF 1863 [32:03] MODIFIES HRA LEVY LIMITS SO THIS WOULD IT LOOKS AT AS OF NOW THE PROPOSAL ACTUALLY DOUBLES THE ABILITY OF THE THE [32:11] MAX HRA LEVY SO IT WOULD RAISE THAT CEILING. I WILL NOTE THAT THIS IS ALSO SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE [32:16] CITY COUNCIL SO IT KIND OF MAXIMIZES OPPORTUNITY BUT THEN OF COURSE EVERY CITY IS [32:22] STILL GOING TO NEED TO DECIDE IF THAT FITS THEIR NEEDS AND WHETHER OR NOT HOW MUCH THEY WANT TO INCREASE THE LEVY AND WE ARE NOT LOBBYING TO OUR [32:30] CURRENT MAX CAPACITY SO WE MIGHT NOT USE THIS LEVY LIMIT IN THE IMMEDIATE BUT IT WOULD ALLOW POTENTIAL FLEXIBILITY [32:35] IN THE FUTURE TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE THAT AND I WOULD ENVISION THAT THIS WOULD HAVE REALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON [32:41] AREAS ACROSS THE ACROSS THE STATE. YEAH. AND THEN THE NEXT BILL IS THE [32:48] USE OF TIFF. SO TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO TO BASICALLY TO USE THAT [32:56] FUNDING TO TRANSFER IT TO A LOCAL HOUSING TRUST FUND. AND SO AS WE'RE LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING [33:03] INITIATIVES AND KIND OF LOOKING AT DIFFERENT MECHANISMS FOR FINANCING, THIS COULD BE AN IMPORTANT ONE THAT [33:08] YOU KNOW WOULD SUPPORT THE WORK OF THAT HOUSING TRUST FUND. SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE FOCUS [33:15] OF THE LETTER OF SUPPORT. AND THEN I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO NOTE A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS COMING UP HERE THAT'S KIND OF A LOT OF TEXT AND A LONG LIST BUT YOU KNOW, I JUST [33:21] WANTED TO NOTE THAT THERE IS A LOT OF LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND AND A [33:27] LOT OF, YOU KNOW, NEW PROPOSALS AND SO SOME OF THESE ARE INTERESTING AND THESE DO ALL FIT WITHIN THE CITY'S [33:32] PLATFORM OF KIND OF INCREASING OPPORTUNITY FOR TOOLS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. [33:38] A COUPLE THAT I MIGHT NOTE IS A TAX CREDIT FOR THE CONVERSION OF UNDERUTILIZED BUILDINGS. SO TRYING TO SUPPORT [33:46] CONVERSION OF LIKE FOR EXAMPLE OFFICE TO RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION EXEMPTION FOR NEW [33:52] CONSTRUCTION FOR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS. THERE IS ALSO A PROPOSAL TO REQUIRE PROPERTY MANAGERS OR LANDLORDS TO ACCEPT RENTAL [33:57] ASSISTANCE AND HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS. I KNOW THAT WAS CONSIDERED LAST YEAR NOT PASSED AND IT HAS COME COME FORTH AGAIN AND [34:04] THEN SOME INFORMATION ABOUT RIGHTS TO TENANTS AND COMMUNICATING OUR INFORMATION AS WELL AS SOME FUNDING FOR IT [34:12] LIKE HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE SERVICES AND THERE ARE OTHERS THIS IS JUST KIND OF A SURVEY OF SOME OF THE THINGS GOING ON THAT WE MIGHT EXPRESS SUPPORT [34:19] FOR IF CALLED UPON OR IF ASKED AND SO THAT'S IT. THAT BRINGS ME TO THE RECOMMENDED MOTION WHICH IS FOCUSED ON THOSE FIRST TWO [34:27] BILLS AND THE LETTER OF SUPPORT BEFORE YOU TODAY. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANY QUESTIONS OR QUESTIONS [34:37] THAT I'D LIKE TO ASK FOR A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE AND DIRECT THE ADMINISTRATOR TO PREPARE AND CIRCULATE A LETTER [34:43] OF SUPPORT FOR HF8 63 AND AS IF 2041/HF1159 CONSISTENT WITH [34:51] THE PRESENTATION CAN I GET A MOTION SO MOVED MOVED BY COMMISSIONER WHO HE SECOND [35:01] SECOND BY COMMISSIONER DOBELL HERE ON A FAVOR I OPPOSE MOTION CARRIES 520 SO IT [35:15] BRINGS US TO ADDITIONAL ITEM NUMBER 7.1 WHICH IS EACH THREE MINUTES HERE UPDATES YES CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS I HAVE JUST [35:20] TWO UPDATES FOR YOU. WE'RE ALMOST DONE HERE SO FIRST I WANTED TO NOTE THE QUESTION AT THE LAST MEETING [35:26] ABOUT CRITERIA FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. WE DID FOLLOW UP WITH THEM AND IT IS OPEN TO ALL FIRST TIME [35:33] HOMEBUYERS IN THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON. THERE ARE SOME RESTRICTIONS AROUND LIKE THE MAXIMUM PURCHASE PRICE OF THE HOME AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT BUT [35:39] THERE'S NO RESTRICTION ON WHO'S ABLE TO APPLY AND THEN [35:44] THE OTHER UPDATE I HAD FOR YOU WAS JUST THE FEDERAL SHUTDOWN UPDATE WHICH IS THAT WE DID CONFIRM WE DID RECEIVE LAST [35:50] TIME THERE WAS A SHUTDOWN THAT COVERED THE FIRST OF THE MONTH. WE DID RECEIVE OUR ALLOCATION FROM HUD AND WE'VE ALREADY [35:56] GOTTEN NOTIFICATION OF WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT OUR APRIL DISBURSEMENT TO BE. SO YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE IF THERE WILL BE A [36:03] SHUTDOWN ON THE 14TH OR HOW LONG IT WILL LAST. BUT IF THERE IS ONE WE WOULD ANTICIPATE AT THIS TIME TO GET THAT FUNDING ON THE FIRST THAT [36:10] WE ISSUE FOR THE VOUCHERS MONTHLY, IF THERE WERE AN ISSUE THEN WE WOULD BRING THAT TO THE BOARD MEETING ON THE EIGHTH. [36:15] SO JUST AN UPDATE THAT WE DON'T EXPECT DISRUPTIONS FROM THAT AT THIS TIME. [36:22] GREAT. BEFORE I ADJOURN AND AS IT IS, ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS HERE HEARING [36:31] THAT I WOULD MOVE FOR AN ADJOURNMENT MOTION SO MOVES MOVE BY COMMISSIONER YOU SEE [36:37] SECOND TAKEN BY COMMISSIONER WHO HIM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE [36:43] MARCH 11TH 2020 5HRA BOARD MEETING CONCLUDES
