10
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:59.005
RYAN SOLBERG. HE IS THE NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST WORKING WITH BOTH THE PORT AUTHORITY AND THE HRA. SO THIS POSITION HAS A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE OVERLAPPING AUTHORITIES.

AND RYAN IS ORIGINALLY FROM MITCHELL, SOUTH DAKOTA RECENTLY COMPLETED HIS MASTER'S IN PUBLIC POLICY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA HUMPHREY SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS. HE HAS ROUGHLY SIX YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING IN COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC

12
00:04:10.583 --> 00:04:20.793

YOU HAVE TO. THANK YOU, SARAH. COMMISSIONERS GOOD EVENING. IT'S GREAT TO MEET YOU, SARAH. INTEREST ME. I'M RYAN SOLBERG ORIGINALLY FROM SOUTH DAKOTA. I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE WITH THE CITY BLOOMINGTON.

14
00:04:31.503 --> 00:04:41.714
I'VE BEEN HERE NOW SIX WEEKS AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE SO FAR AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW ALL OF YOU. WELCOME ROGER HERE.

15
00:04:41.714 --> 00:04:53.459
>> AND RYAN HAS THE FUN TASK OF PRESENTING ON HIS INTRODUCTORY MEETING SO HE'LL BE UP NEXT. NEXT TIME IS NEW BUSINESS

16
00:04:53.459 --> 00:05:04.971
WHICH I BELIEVE WE DO NOT HAVE ANY AND SO WE ARE ON TO DISCUSSION ITEMS. FIRST IS 6.1 LAST HALF FUNDING REQUEST FROM OUT ALL OF IT

17
00:05:04.971 --> 00:05:16.649
ROLLING ACRES ME WE HAVE THE STAFF REPORT AND THEN IS THE PRESENTATION. SO GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS TONIGHT WILL BE DISCUSSING A

18
00:05:16.649 --> 00:05:27.259
REQUEST FROM MOUNT OLIVE. IT ROLLING ACRES OR MORA FOR $85,204 IN LOCAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING ASSISTANCE FUNDING TO

19
00:05:27.259 --> 00:05:41.007
COMPLETE CAPITAL PROJECTS AT TWO PROPERTIES IN BLOOMINGTON. YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE OR DO I HAVE THE RIGHT WORKING THE BUGS OUT SO AS A

20
00:05:41.007 --> 00:05:52.317
LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND MORA OR MOUNT ALL OF THAT ROLLING ACRES IS A501C3 NON PROFIT PROVIDING CARE AND SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND PHYSICAL DISABILITIES, MENTAL HEALTH

21
00:05:52.317 --> 00:06:02.995
CHALLENGES AND AGING RELATED CHALLENGES. THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES 38 COMMUNITY HOMES ACROSS THE TWIN CITIES INCLUDING TWO IN BLOOMINGTON WHICH ARE KNOWN AS BLOOMINGTON HOME AND VALLEY

22
00:06:02.995 --> 00:06:13.506
HIGH HOME. AS I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THEY'RE REQUESTING $85,204 IN LARGER FUNDING TO COMPLETE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT BOTH OF THE HOMES CURRENTLY THEIR

23
00:06:13.506 --> 00:06:25.251
RESIDENTS THEIR AVERAGE INCOME COMES UP TO ABOUT 18% OF THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME PER LA PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS ARE THE CUTOFF FOR RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAMS UNDER

24
00:06:25.251 --> 00:06:34.726
UNDER THE PROGRAM IS 80% SO THEY DO QUALIFY FOR LARGER FUNDING. AN ADDITIONAL THING TO NOTE IS THAT MOST OF THE FUNDING FOR MORE IS ACTIVITIES AT THESE

25
00:06:34.726 --> 00:06:45.737
COMMUNITY HOMES COMES FROM MEDICARE MEDICAID WAIVER FUNDS WHICH CAN BE USED FOR STAFFING COSTS BUT CANNOT BE USED FOR FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS OR HOME IMPROVEMENTS WHICH IS PART OF THE REASON WHY THEY ARE

26
00:06:45.737 --> 00:06:58.784
SEEKING LARGER FUNDING. SO A PROJECT OVERVIEW THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DO SIC OR FIVE DIFFERENT PROJECTS ACROSS THE

27
00:06:58.784 --> 00:07:10.396
TWO PROPERTIES THERE WOULD BE OR SIX DIFFERENT PROJECTS ACROSS THE TWO PROPERTIES. FIVE WOULD BE AT BLOOMINGTON HOME AND THEN ONE WOULD BE AT VALLEY HIGH HOME. SO BLOOMINGTON HOME IS THE PROPERTY ON THE LEFT.

28
00:07:10.396 --> 00:07:20.106
BAILEY HOME IS THE PROPERTY ON THE RIGHT PICTURED THERE. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN OLDER PHOTO FROM FROM 2019. IT'S UNDERGONE SOME SOME CHANGES SINCE THEN.

29
00:07:20.106 --> 00:07:31.850
SO IN BLOOMINGTON HOME THE FIVE PROJECTS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING AND YOU CAN KIND OF GET AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE PROPERTY LOOKS LIKE NOW WILL BE GOING CLOCKWISE FROM THE TOP LEFT AND THEN GOING AROUND.

30
00:07:31.850 --> 00:07:42.528
SO IT WOULD BE A FULL REMODEL OF THE NORTH KITCHEN WHICH WOULD IMPROVE STORAGE LIGHTING AND LONG TERM DURABILITY OF THE SPACE IN ORDER TO BETTER SUPPORT RESIDENT INDEPENDENCE AND LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT.

31
00:07:42.528 --> 00:07:54.339
NEW FLOORING IN THE KITCHEN HALLWAY TO ENHANCE THE APPEARANCE OF THE HOME, IMPROVE ITS SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY AND ALLOW FOR EASIER CLEANING, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE. A NEW FLOORING IN THE BASEMENT

32
00:07:54.339 --> 00:08:05.751
BATHROOM TO IMPROVE HYGIENE AND COMFORT AND THEN A LANDSCAPING PROJECT TO REPLACE AN UNEVEN CONCRETE SLAB WITH GRASS TO IMPROVE OUTDOOR USABILITY AND CURB APPEAL. THEN THE LAST PROJECT THEY'RE

33
00:08:05.751 --> 00:08:16.361
PROPOSING IS A IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE WATER HEATER FOR BLOOMINGTON HOME AT VALLEY HIGH HOME JUST ONE PROJECT WHICH IS LANDSCAPING REDOING THE YARD TO ENHANCE

34
00:08:16.361 --> 00:08:26.639
THE ESTHETICS AND ALLOW FOR GREATER RESIDENT USE OF THE SPACE. SO SOME IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT ABOUT FINANCING MORA IS

35
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:39.719
REQUESTING LARGER FUNDS TO COVER 100% OF THE PROJECT COSTS THAT I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. SINCE 2024 THE ORGANIZATION HAS INVESTED CLOSE TO $35,000 IN BLOOMINGTON HOME AND

36
00:08:39.719 --> 00:08:50.162
$14,500 IN VALLEY HIGH HOME THEIR CAPITAL BUDGET FOR 2026 ACROSS ALL OF THEIR PROPERTIES IN THE METRO IS $2.2 MILLION AND ABOUT 136,000 OF THAT IS FOR FOUR PROPERTIES

37
00:08:50.162 --> 00:09:00.906
IN BLOOMINGTON. SO ADDITIONAL STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL FUNDING SOURCES ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS WHICH IS WHY THEY'RE SEEKING A LARGER FUNDING AS WELL AS GIFTS AND

38
00:09:00.906 --> 00:09:12.485
DONATIONS FROM PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS, FOUNDATIONS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS RECEIVED A LARGER FUNDING COMMITMENT FOR FROM THE EDINA HRA FOR A

39
00:09:12.485 --> 00:09:23.362
SIMILAR PROJECT IN THAT COMMUNITY AND THEY'VE ALSO MADE SIMILAR REQUESTS TO OCONEE AND CHASKA. THEY'RE PROPOSING THAT THE $85,204 LARGER WOULD BE STRUCTURED AS A GRANT AGREEMENT ADMINISTERED ON A

40
00:09:23.362 --> 00:09:35.407
REIMBURSEMENT BASIS WHICH WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THE TERMS THEY'VE RECEIVED FROM THE EDINA HRA. SO LOOKING AT NEXT STEPS, WE

41
00:09:35.407 --> 00:09:45.684
DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM MOIRA HERE ON THE ON WITH VIA WEBEX TO THEY'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND SUPPORT THE COMMISSION'S DISCUSSIONS OF THE PROPOSAL AND THEY HAVE EXPRESSED A

42
00:09:45.684 --> 00:09:56.962
WILLINGNESS TO ALLOW FOR COMMISSIONERS TO TO VISIT THE TWO PROPERTIES IF THEY ARE INTERESTED IF THE COMMISSION CHOOSES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REQUEST STAFF CAN BEGIN WORKING ON A GRANT AGREEMENT FOR FOR ITS REVIEW.

43
00:09:56.962 --> 00:10:07.473
AND THEN WE JUST HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS AT THE END THERE THAT CAN HELP GUIDE THE CONVERSATION TONIGHT SO WITH THAT I'LL LET YOU GUYS ROOM FOR DISCUSSION.

44
00:10:07.473 --> 00:10:21.721
SO DO WE HAVE QUESTIONS COMMENTS MAYBE THE MORE PEOPLE CAN ANSWER.

45
00:10:21.721 --> 00:10:33.332
COMMISSIONER YOU SAY YEAH. SO IS THIS LIKE AN IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT OR LIKE WHAT'S THE TIMELINE? >> SO THE TIMELINE WOULD REALLY BE BASED ON SOME OF THE DISCUSSION THAT HAPPENS HERE

46
00:10:33.332 --> 00:10:44.476
TONIGHT IF THE LARGER FUNDS ARE APPROVED WE ARE READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A NUMBER OF THESE PROJECTS. OUR HOPE WOULD BE THAT IF IT IS APPROVED THAT WE WILL MOVE FORWARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

47
00:10:44.476 --> 00:10:56.188
AND FINISH THIS WORK WITHIN 2026. COMMISSIONER CARTER, THANK YOU . SO FIRST TO THE MAURA TEAM

48
00:10:56.188 --> 00:11:05.831
JUST THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING SUCH A VALUABLE AND NEEDED RESOURCE IN OUR COMMUNITY VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT. SO I GUESS I'M JUST WONDERING

49
00:11:05.831 --> 00:11:16.942
AND THIS IS MAYBE MORE FOR US OR FOR STAFF YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THIS NEW NEWER, LARGER FUNDING RESOURCE FOR COMMUNITY PROJECTS BUT WE

50
00:11:16.942 --> 00:11:31.457
HAVEN'T REALLY TALKED ABOUT WHETHER HOW TO LIKE WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO SUPPORT GROUP HOMES OR COMMUNITY BASED HOMES LIKE THIS. AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE QUITE

51
00:11:31.457 --> 00:11:44.136
A FEW IN BLOOMINGTON AND SO I GUESS I JUST AM CURIOUS OVERALL DO WE WANT TO SAY LIKE WE'RE COMFORTABLE SETTING ASIDE LIKE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE IF WE HAVE I MEAN I

52
00:11:44.136 --> 00:11:55.047
ASSUME IF WE APPROVE THIS REQUEST THAT WE'LL PROBABLY GET MORE REQUESTS AND MAYBE THAT'S NOT A SAFE ASSUMPTION BUT IS YEAH, I MEAN I THINK A LOT OF YOU KNOW I, I RUN A

53
00:11:55.047 --> 00:12:06.358
NONPROFIT A LOT OF NONPROFITS ARE YOU KNOW, WORKING HARD TO MANAGE BALANCED BUDGETS AND IT'S REALLY HARD ESPECIALLY IN THE HOUSING SPACE RIGHT NOW. SO I GUESS I JUST AM THAT'S

54
00:12:06.358 --> 00:12:16.802
MAYBE ONE THING THAT I'M THINKING ABOUT AS WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION OF JUST IF WE GO DOWN THE PATH OF SUPPORTING IN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR GROUP HOMES, WHAT DOES THAT KIND OF MEAN

55
00:12:16.802 --> 00:12:28.581
GOING FORWARD IF WE GET MORE REQUESTS AND ALTHOUGH WE HAVE THIS WONDERFUL RESOURCE IT IS A LIMITED RESOURCE AND SO AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, RIGHT? HOW DO WE BALANCE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO FUND

56
00:12:28.581 --> 00:12:39.358
AND HAVE A STRATEGY FOR THAT? SO THAT'S ONE THING I'M THINKING ABOUT. AND THEN IS IT COMMON FOR ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THIS TO

57
00:12:39.358 --> 00:12:52.170
REQUEST FUNDING FROM LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS OR DOES IS THAT KIND OF TYPICALLY FUNDED BY OTHER PRIVATE OR FOUNDATIONS OR I GUESS I'M JUST CURIOUS LIKE IS THIS KIND

58
00:12:52.170 --> 00:13:04.249
OF A NEW TYPE OF REQUEST IN GENERAL OR OR IS IT PRETTY COMMON I THINK TO TO ANSWER

59
00:13:04.249 --> 00:13:15.628
YOUR FIRST QUESTION, I THINK THAT THE CONVERSATIONS THAT THAT I'VE HAD WITH SARAH KIND OF GO TO THE UNIQUENESS OF OF RECEIVING REQUESTS FOR LARGER FUNDING. THERE REALLY ISN'T A FORMAL

60
00:13:15.628 --> 00:13:26.605
PROCESS RIGHT NOW OR AN APPLICATION PROCESS. I CAN'T REALLY SPEAK TO THE REQUESTS FROM SIMILAR TYPES OF HOUSING IN THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT THE DEMAND WOULD BE FOR FOR LARGER FUNDING GOING

61
00:13:26.605 --> 00:13:37.716
ON TO YOUR YOUR SECOND QUESTION, I'M PARTICULARLY CAN YOU KIND OF REMIND ME THE SECOND QUESTION? SORRY, I YEAH.

62
00:13:37.716 --> 00:13:49.661
SO IS IT COMMON FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THIS TO RUN RIGHT THANK YOU. SERVICES IN ASK WHETHER IT'S LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL

63
00:13:49.661 --> 00:14:01.206
GOVERNMENT FOR FUNDING FOR CAPITAL RIGHT SO I WOULD MAYBE DEFER TO THE FOLKS FROM ORA WHO ARE HERE VIA WEBEX. MY UNDERSTANDING BASED ON THE DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY'VE

64
00:14:01.206 --> 00:14:12.751
GIVEN ME IS THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF CAPITAL FUNDING THROUGH THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. MOST OF THEIR OTHER CAPITAL PROJECTS HAVE COME FROM PRIVATE DONATIONS SO THEIR

65
00:14:12.751 --> 00:14:26.165
REQUESTS OF LARGER FUNDING IS IS A IS FAIRLY RECENT. >> HI SO MY NAME IS KATIE LAURA'S I'M FROM ON ALL THAT ROLLING ACRES. WOULD YOU LIKE US TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION? SURE YEAH.

66
00:14:26.165 --> 00:14:35.573
>> YES. HI. SO I APOLOGIZE WE DID NOT INTRODUCE OURSELVES EARLIER. MY NAME IS CLARUS. I AM THE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF ADVANCEMENT HERE AT ALL OF ROLLING ACRES. I HAVE A COUPLE OF COWORKERS

67
00:14:35.573 --> 00:14:48.487
HERE THIS IS SUSIE MITRA LEVY. SHE IS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF RESIDENTIAL SERVICES HERE AT MONO. BUT ROLLING ACRES AND THIS IS ALISA CHAFFEE AND SHE IS OUR DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TOO. THE FIRST QUESTION THAT I HEARD AND WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF AN INTERRUPTION IN TERMS

68
00:14:48.487 --> 00:14:57.362
OF SOUND SO I MIGHT HAVE TO ASK YOU TO REPEAT 1 OR 2 THINGS BUT IN TERMS OF CAPITAL BUDGET, 99% OF OUR FUNDING COMES FROM THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT AND NONE OF IT GOES TOWARDS ANY KIND

69
00:14:57.362 --> 00:15:08.507
OF HOME IMPROVEMENT. EVERY DOLLAR THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SPENT TOWARDS THE STAFFING THAT WE PROVIDE. >> THE INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE IN THESE HALLS.

70
00:15:08.507 --> 00:15:19.484
AND SO TO BE VERY, VERY CLEAR ,ANY KIND OF FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVE THAT IS AIMED AT A HOUSING PROJECT OR A HOUSING IMPROVEMENT 100% IS THAT THAT IS A DONATION.

71
00:15:19.484 --> 00:15:30.929
NONE OF THAT IS RECEIVED FROM THE STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. >> GOT IT. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL. AND THEN SO BEFORE THERE WEREN'T A LOT OF FUNDS AVAILABLE WHERE HOW WOULD YOU

72
00:15:30.929 --> 00:15:42.741
FUND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS? SO ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT BEING A NONPROFIT IS OF COURSE OUR MARGINS ARE INCREASE DOUBLY RAZOR THIN AND WE REALLY DO RELY ON OUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO HELP FILL

73
00:15:42.741 --> 00:15:54.286
THOSE GAPS WITH DOLLARS FROM DONATIONS AND FROM OTHER AGENCIES WHO ARE WILLING TO DONATE TO OURS. >> BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT IS

74
00:15:54.286 --> 00:16:05.898
IT IS TRULY ALL ON OUR BACKS TO MAKE THAT WORK FINANCIALLY . >> OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT'S REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL. COMMISSIONER WHO CAME TO OUR COMMISSIONERS CAN I RESPOND TO THE FIRST QUESTION JUST REAL QUICK I'LL JUST SAY THAT I

75
00:16:05.898 --> 00:16:17.776
THINK THAT'S PART OF THE QUESTION BEFORE THE JURY TONIGHT IS TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION ON THIS IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PROJECT TO USE THE LARGER FUNDS THAT'S COME BEFORE THE BOARD AND IS FAIRLY UNIQUE IS THE FIRST

76
00:16:17.776 --> 00:16:27.018
TIME WE'VE GOTTEN A FORMAL REQUEST TO USE LARGER DOLLARS THAT WE HAVEN'T ASSIGNED INTERNALLY TO PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY. SO I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE QUESTION FOR THE TO DISCUSS IS

77
00:16:27.018 --> 00:16:36.995
THIS TYPE OF USE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE LARGER DOLLARS FOR COMMISSIONER WHO CAME THANK YOU CHAIR PIGGYBACKING OFF OF WHAT COMMISSIONER CARTER

78
00:16:36.995 --> 00:16:50.809
WA SAYING AND THE RESPONSE, I'M WONDERING IF IN THIS CONVERSATION IS IF WE SHOULD DIRECT A CONVERSATION MAYBE NOT TODAY BUT IN THE FUTURE

79
00:16:50.809 --> 00:17:02.954
NEAR FUTURE HEAR OF A FORMAL REQUEST PROCESS SO THAT WE'RE BEING EQUITABLE SO EVERYBODY HAS TO FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE AND NOT JUST ANYBODY AND I'M NOT SAYING IT, I'M JUST SAYING THAT WAY WE HAVE A STANDARD AND AN EXPECTATION

80
00:17:02.954 --> 00:17:15.267
AND EVERYBODY IS GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS GOING FORWARD FOR LAFOND FUNDING THAT'S SOMETHING I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD LOOK INTO AND I DO THINK YOU COMMISSIONER WOOTEN

81
00:17:15.267 --> 00:17:24.977
I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO HOW THEY CAME ABOUT KNOWING ABOUT HOW FUNDING IS BEING AN OPTION . YOU DID. >> YEAH.

82
00:17:24.977 --> 00:17:38.390
SO AGAIN AND MY NAME IS KATIE AND I ACTUALLY CAME FROM SCOTT COUNTY WHERE I SERVED SEVEN YEARS AND OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ALSO CAME FROM SCOTT COUNTY WHERE SHE SERVED TEN YEARS. SO WE ARE WELL WELL VERSED AND

83
00:17:38.390 --> 00:17:48.000
VERY FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE INNER WORKINGS OF GOVERNMENT. ADDITIONALLY SUSIE CAME TO US FROM RAMSEY COUNTY AFTER 25 YEARS SO WE HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS WHO HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE WORKING IN THE

84
00:17:48.000 --> 00:18:00.211
PUBLIC SECTOR. I HAVE A QUESTION. YES. FOLLOW UP MAYBE THIS IS MORE SO A QUESTION FOR STAFF BUT

85
00:18:00.211 --> 00:18:12.257
WHAT METHODS DO WE USE TO LIKE EVALUATE OR THE CRITERIA FOR PROJECTS RIGHT NOW ? YEAH. CHAIR COMMISSIONERS A COUPLE

86
00:18:12.257 --> 00:18:23.468
OF THINGS SO A COUPLE OF THE METRICS WE USE ARE IS IT A GOOD FIT FOR LARGER FUNDS? OF COURSE SCRNING OF THE APPLICATION FOR LARGER ELIGIBILITY IS A REALLY CRITICAL FIRST FACTOR. THE WAY WE EVALUATED THIS

87
00:18:23.468 --> 00:18:35.013
PARTICULAR REQUEST WAS WE TOOK IN INFORMATION AROUND WHAT'S THE SCALE OF THE NEED DOES THE INCOME LEVEL APPLY? DOES THIS FIT INTO WHAT ARE THE SOME OF THE GOALS OF THE LARGER DOLLARS WHICH IS REALLY

88
00:18:35.013 --> 00:18:46.224
SERVING THOSE WHO ARE UNDERSERVED BY THE MARKETPLACE WERE VERY SIMILAR ALIGNS WITH THE VERY MISSION BUT WE ALSO EVALUATED THEIR FUNDING INFORMATION SO WE EVALUATED THEIR BUDGET, WE LOOKED AT

89
00:18:46.224 --> 00:18:58.136
THEIR REQUESTED INFORMATION ON THEIR FUNDRAISING PROCESSES TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, TO ASK IF THEY WERE ALSO INVESTING IN THESE HOMES AND NOT SOLELY RELYING ON A GOVERNMENT FUNDING SOURCE. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE

90
00:18:58.136 --> 00:19:09.181
QUESTIONS THAT WE ASKED AND LOOKED INTO TO BRING THIS TO THE HRA BOARD. WE ALSO ASKED SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE ASKED WAS A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR TO HOW WE SCREENED TIFF APPLICATIONS AS

91
00:19:09.181 --> 00:19:20.659
I'M NOT QUITE AS RIGOROUS BUT SOME OF THE SAME FINANCIAL INFORMATION ASKING THEM TO DEMONSTRATE THE NEED FOR THE DOLLARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT COMMISSION WHO CAME THANK YOU

92
00:19:20.659 --> 00:19:31.937
CHAIR PERSONALLY I'M NOT AGAINST SUPPORTING THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS BUT I DO THINK BEFORE WE DO ANY SORT OF COMMITMENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK BACK AT WHAT COMMISSIONER CARTER WAS SAYING AS WELL

93
00:19:31.937 --> 00:19:43.548
OF HAVING SOME SORT OF, YOU KNOW, STANDARD UP TO THIS AMOUNT OR PERCENTAGE BECAUSE IT COULD GET US INTO THAT PREDICAMENT OF EVERYBODY AND

94
00:19:43.548 --> 00:19:53.625
I'M NOT SAYING EVERYBODY'S GOING TO COME OUT ASKING BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. SO I THINK I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP IN THIS WHOLE THING IS FIGURING OUT A FORMAL PROCESS, FIGURING OUT IN MY OPINION FIGURING OUT

95
00:19:53.625 --> 00:20:04.436
WHAT WE WANT TO COMMIT TO THESE TYPE OF PROJECTS AND MAYBE MAYBE THIS IS A OBVIOUSLY A BIGGER DISCUSSION THAT MAYBE WE COULD PUT TO OUR RETREAT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

96
00:20:04.436 --> 00:20:15.847
THAT WE KIND OF THINK THINK OF THE THINGS WE AS A BOARD WOULD PUT AS A MISSION OF OF ORGANIZATIONS AND PROJECTS THAT WE WOULD WANT TO GO TO KIND OF HAVE THAT

97
00:20:15.847 --> 00:20:27.125
CONVERSATION. JUST A SUGGESTION. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD THAT'S WHAT I PUT OUT THERE THAT I THINK THAT I PERSONALLY WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF ASSISTING A PROJECT SUCH AS THIS BUT WE

98
00:20:27.125 --> 00:20:37.502
DEFINITELY NEED FURTHER DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU. YEAH. CHAIR COMMISSIONERS ONE MORE THING I'LL JUST KNOW IS THE THE LARGER FRAMEWORK THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING UNDER IS 50% FOR PROJECTS THAT

99
00:20:37.502 --> 00:20:48.981
SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP INITIATIVES AND 50% TOWARDS MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT. AND SO WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT THIS AS THE SECOND BUCKET AND THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE

100
00:20:48.981 --> 00:20:58.390
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE LIVING IN THESE PROPERTIES AND SO IT FITS INTO THE THE LARGER FRAMEWORK THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED AS WELL. SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT WE DID LOOK AT WHEN BRING THIS FORWARD.

101
00:20:58.390 --> 00:21:10.902
BUT YES, THINGS YEAH I KIND OF ECHO WHAT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID I, I WAS A SOCIAL WORKER FOR 30 PLUS YEARS AND I

102
00:21:10.902 --> 00:21:22.047
KNOW THE SOCIAL WORK WORLD IS SMALL AND ONCE WORD GETS OUT THAT WE'RE DOING THIS THERE THERE ARE MULTIPLE HOMES AND

103
00:21:22.047 --> 00:21:31.522
AGAIN LIKE COMMISSIONER WHO CAME I'M NOT AGAINST THIS I JUST AM AFRAID OF SETTING A PRECEDENT THAT WE HAVEN'T THOUGHLY THOUGHT OUT MADE STEPS YOU KNOW HAVE HAVE

104
00:21:31.522 --> 00:21:42.333
REVIEW PROCESS. I APPRECIATE ANY ORGANIZATION THAT DOES CREATIVE FUNDING. I APPRECIATE I LIKE THE THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.

105
00:21:42.333 --> 00:21:50.108
I JUST I'M NOT READY TO SAY YES, WE SHOULD GO AHEAD WITH THIS. WE WE NEED WE JUST NEED TO

106
00:21:50.108 --> 00:22:04.656
STUDY IT MORE. COMMISSIONER CARTER THANK YOU. SO COULD WE MAKE IT AN AGENDA ITEM IN OUR RETREAT JUST TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS AND THEN

107
00:22:04.656 --> 00:22:16.635
AND THEN I DON'T IT SOUNDS LIKE KIND OF THE TIMELINE IS WHEN WHEN THEY GET THE FUNDING THEY'LL MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS AND SO AND THEN JUST CIRCLE BACK WITH THEM BASED ON THAT CONVERSATION I RETREATS COMING UP RELATIVELY SOON.

108
00:22:16.635 --> 00:22:27.779
YES CHAIR COMMISSIONERS I WILL NOTE IT DOWN AS A FUTURE TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT SUGGESTIONS FOR THE RETREAT SO IT MAY NOT BE AT THE RETREAT BUT WE COULD ALSO HAVE A WORK SESSION DISCUSSION AT A FUTURE BOARD MEETING AS WELL.

132
00:26:56.748 --> 00:27:07.492
IS OUR DEMOGRAPHICS. SOME OVERVIEW FROM ALL THREE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. SO THAT'S A COMBINED DEMOGRAPHIC FROM ALL.

133
00:27:07.492 --> 00:27:21.840
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COMMISSIONER CARTER THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE KIND

134
00:27:21.840 --> 00:27:33.685
OF OUTPUTS AND OUTCOMES OF THE FUNDING THAT WE APPROVE AND I KNOW THAT THERE WE GET SOMETIMES WE GET QUESTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY AND SO IT'S REALLY HELPFUL TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION. I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION

135
00:27:33.685 --> 00:27:50.301
RELATED TO IT'S THE TOUCHSTONE I THINK SO THEY SERVED 15 LEAMINGTON RESIDENTS OR 15 HOUSEHOLDS, RIGHT? SO SO I THINK IF I THINK I DID

136
00:27:50.301 --> 00:28:02.080
THE MATH EARLIER I THINK THAT WAS LIKE 4000 ON AVERAGE PER HOUSEHOLD. AND SO WAS THIS KIND OF LIKE WAS THIS WERE THESE SITUATIONS WHERE PEOPLE ME MAYBE OWED A FEW MONTH'S RENT AND SO NEEDED

137
00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:13.058
HELP GETTING CAUGHT UP AND THEN MAYBE PAYING ANOTHER MONTH'S RENT? YES THAT WAS THE AVERAGE WAS LIKE THREE MONTHS. OKAY, MAX, I DON'T THINK WE WERE REALLY GOING OVER THE THREE MONTH THRESHOLD.

138
00:28:13.058 --> 00:28:24.469
OKAY. AND DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA AFTER HELPING PEOPLE GET CAUGHT UP AND PAY THEIR NEXT MONTH LIKE DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA IF PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO KIND OF CONTINUE TO CONTINUE TO STAY IN THEIR

139
00:28:24.469 --> 00:28:35.246
HOMES? OH, THAT WAS THE GOAL, YEAH. FOR THIS PROJECT. OKAY. ABSOLUTELY. YES. AND I MEAN I GUESS I'M ASSUMING LIKE LONGER TERM WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TRACK BECAUSE THE CONTRACTS HAVE ENDED EVERYTHING OKAY.

140
00:28:35.246 --> 00:28:44.689
ALL RIGHT. BUT YEAH, THE PURPOSE OF THIS RFP WAS FOR HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE AND PREVENTION. SO THE MISSION WAS TO KEEP PEOPLE HOUSED. YEAH. THAT'S AWESOME. OKAY. THANK YOU.

141
00:28:44.689 --> 00:28:57.635
THANKS. DO YOU HAVE RECORDS? OH, SORRY. ONE MORE QUESTION OR HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW HOW MANY OF THESE FAMILIES WERE AFFECTED BY THE METRO SURGE AND THAT'S WHY THEY WERE BEHIND.

142
00:28:57.635 --> 00:29:05.743
WE DID NOT ASK SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT DATA. I'M SURE IT'S JUST I COULD COMPROMISE. I GET IT AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE AT THAT TIME WERE

143
00:29:05.743 --> 00:29:18.957
KIND OF APPREHENSIVE TO CHECK MEASURES. I ALSO KNOW THE TIMELINE OF THIS. SO WE AWARDED THESE DOLLARS AT THE END OF 2024 AND SO THESE CONCERTS ARE TAKING PLACE

144
00:29:18.957 --> 00:29:30.735
IN 2025 AND EARLY 2026. SO ESPECIALLY TOUCHED ON BECAUSE THEY HAD THAT EFFECTIVE OUTREACH STRATEGY. THEY EXPENDED THEIR FUNDS PRETTY QUICKLY AND SO I THINK THOSE DOLLARS WENT OUT BEFORE OPERATION METRO SURGE TOOK

145
00:29:30.735 --> 00:29:42.046
PLACE. SOME OF THE OTHER THE OTHER CONTRACTS MAY HAVE BEEN IMPACTED A LITTLE BIT AND JUST EXCUSE ME CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS AS WELL. SO THIS FUNDING IRP IS

146
00:29:42.046 --> 00:29:53.224
DIFFERENT THAN OUR EMERGENCY RENTAL NOW THAT IS GOING DIRECTLY TOWARDS THAT OUTREACH. OKAY. WHERE IS THIS KIND OF OVERLAP DURING THAT TIME PERIOD BUT NOT DIRECTLY.

147
00:29:53.224 --> 00:30:03.167
ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE IT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS KEISHA ROBERTSON, THANK YOU SO MUCH. NOT A QUESTION JUST A COMMENT. I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU AND THINK THESE ORGANIZATIONS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL WORK THEY DO HERE IN BLOOMINGTON KEEP

148
00:30:03.167 --> 00:30:13.877
KEEPING KEEPING PEOPLE EXCUSE ME HOUSED AND HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND ETC. MYSELF I'M PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH BLOOMING MEADOWS AND I'VE GOT SOME FRIENDS WHO LIVE OVER THERE SO THANK YOU ALL TO YOU AND THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE

149
00:30:13.877 --> 00:30:23.354
WORK THAT YOU DO SO THANK YOU ALL TO BE IN PARTNERSHIP. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS 6.3.

150
00:30:23.354 --> 00:30:39.136
EACH ADMINISTRATOR UPDATES AND OKAY, I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUICK UPDATES. ONE IS I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE WE STARTED A NEWSLETTER ON THE OFF WEEK OF MEETINGS. I DID NOT SEND ONE OUT IN JUNE

151
00:30:39.136 --> 00:30:50.248
BECAUSE WE HAD THE SPECIAL MEETING SO BECAUSE THE NEWSLETTER I UNDERSTOOD IT AS TAKING THE PLACE OF TWO MEETINGS WHEN WE HAD THE TWO MEETINGS I DIDN'T SEND ONE SO YOU CAN KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THAT AT THE END OF JULY THOSE WILL BE STARTING ON THE MONTH WHERE WE HAVE ONLY ONE MEETING

152
00:30:50.248 --> 00:31:02.393
AND THEN THE RETREAT THE RETREAT DATE WE HAVE HELD IS AUGUST 19TH. WE'RE STILL WORKING ON CONFIRMING A PLACE I'M CURRENTLY LOOKING AT ABOUT 10 TO 4 SO MOST MOST OF THE DAY FOR THAT RETREAT SO YOU SHOULD

153
00:31:02.393 --> 00:31:13.737
HAVE A CALENDAR HOLD ALREADY IN YOUR INBOXES AND THEN ALSO KEEP AN EYE OUT. I'M LOOKING AT SENDING OUT A SHORT SURVEY ON EACH DAY EXPERIENCE SOMETIME IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION GOING INTO THAT

154
00:31:13.737 --> 00:31:25.049
RETREAT AS WELL. SO KEEP AN EYE OUT ON YOUR EMAILS FOR THAT. AND THEN THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS JUST THAT I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER MOUTON WANTED TO SAY A FEW WORDS AND GIVE AN UPDATE TONIGHT AS WELL.

155
00:31:25.049 --> 00:31:32.790
OKAY. YOU HEAR ME OKAY. WELL I ACTUALLY HAD TO MAKE A DECLARATION THIS EVENING BASED

156
00:31:32.790 --> 00:31:47.438
ON SOMETHING I'M DOING WITH THE CITY THROUGH THE GUIDANCE OF A I'M GOING TO SAY TO SARA AND THE ATTORNEY I NEED TO

157
00:31:47.438 --> 00:31:57.882
MAKE A DLARATION BASED ON MINNESOTA STATUTE WHICH OVERSEES ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE THAT I'VE ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR. AND SO MY STATEMENT BASICALLY

158
00:31:57.882 --> 00:32:10.761
IS THAT IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH IT I HAVE TO MAKE A RECORD OF THE FACT THAT I HAVE APPLIED FOR A WE HAVE A LONG THROUGH THE CITY IT'S BEEN

159
00:32:10.761 --> 00:32:18.569
THREE YEARS THREE DIFFERENT TIMES I'VE HAD TO REAPPLY FOR THIS. SO I'M HOPING THAT IT WILL FINALLY, YOU KNOW, TAKE HOLD

160
00:32:18.569 --> 00:32:31.682
AND GIVEN THAT IT HAS TO BE IN THE RECORD, I THINK THIS SATISFIES A STATUTE THAT THE STATE HAS. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTENING AND HAPPY TO HEAR

161
00:32:31.682 --> 00:32:44.295
THIS ARE BY NO MEANS THAT I RECEIVED THE SPECIAL PRIVILEGE. I CAN TELL YOU FOR A FACT THAT I'VE LIVED THROUGH MORE OBSTACLES HOOPS AND I THINK ARE WARRANTED BUT YOU KNOW

162
00:32:44.295 --> 00:32:55.473
THERE ANY HAS IT SO I THINK THAT BESIDES TO COVER WHAT I NEED TO COVER IN THE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN DONE IN THE PAST FOR OTHER FOLKS WHO HAVE APPLIED BUT IT

163
00:32:55.473 --> 00:33:09.320
WAS JUST BROUGHT TO ME TWO WEEKS AGO AND I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH IT FOR THREE YEARS. SO I WAS A LITTLE TAKEN ABACK THAT I DIDN'T KNOW BEFOREHAND SO COMMISSIONERS, IF I MAY,

164
00:33:09.320 --> 00:33:20.631
CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> THIS IS YVONNE TAYLOR FROM KENNEDY ENGRAVING. YES. I'M SITTING IN FOR RACHEL TIERNEY TODAY. I JUST WANTED TO CAPSTONE THAT

165
00:33:20.631 --> 00:33:25.403
COMMENT WITH THE STATUTORY CITATIONS FOR THE RECORD SO THE STATUTORY CITATION CITATIONS ARE MINNESOTA

166
00:33:25.403 --> 00:33:41.786
STATUTES 471.87 AND 471.8. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER WOOTEN RIGHT.

167
00:33:41.786 --> 00:33:52.730
COMMISSIONER WHO? THANK YOU, CHAIR. I HAVE SOMETHING. I HAVE A QUESTION. SO IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION JUST BY DOING A SEARCH FOR

168
00:33:52.730 --> 00:34:03.741
LIKE 9030 PARK FOR THOSE HOMES THAT WE WERE INVOLVED WITH. I, I GUESS FOR CLARITY I JUST MAY NOT REMEMBER BUT THE

169
00:34:03.741 --> 00:34:13.150
BASEMENTS ARE NOT COMPLETED AND I'M THEY'RE NOT FINISHED AND I GUESS I'M A LITTLE TAKEN ABACK BY THAT MYSELF JUST BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE TALKING AFFORDABLE HOUSING NOW WE'RE

170
00:34:13.150 --> 00:34:26.764
ASKING PEOPLE TO COMPLETE A BASEMENT THAT I JUST I JUST THINK FUNDING WISE THAT CAN BE TOUGH FOR AFFORDABILITY. SO I GUESS I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THE MEMO ON THAT.

171
00:34:26.764 --> 00:34:38.275
AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION IS JUST KIND OF ON THE PROPERTY TAX BASIS ARE THEY BEING IS ARE PROPERTY TAXES BEING BASED ON THE THE LOT AND THE HOUSE?

172
00:34:38.275 --> 00:34:48.686
I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANY DIFFERENCE IN PROPERTY TAXATION ON THESE PROPERTIES VERSUS ANY OTHER PROPERTY IN BLOOMINGTON.

173
00:34:48.686 --> 00:34:58.963
I JUST WANTED SOME CLARITY LIKE I SAID, I GUESS FOR ME IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE I WAS A LITTLE IT WAS JUST A LITTLE DISHEARTENING TO KNOW THAT THE BASEMENTS WEREN'T COMPLETED JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN BECOME A

174
00:34:58.963 --> 00:35:11.041
PRETTY HIGH COST AND IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT SPACE I FEEL LIKE FOR THESE PROPERTIES. YES, SHARON COMMISSIONERS, I WILL DOUBLE CHECK WITH OUR

175
00:35:11.041 --> 00:35:22.152
PARTNERS ON THIS BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE UNFINISHED FINISHED BASEMENT WAS ALWAYS INTENDED. THEY DO NOT NEED TO INVEST IN FINISHING THE BASEMENT. THEY CAN USE IT IN ITS UNFINISHED STATE. HOWEVER THEY WOULD LIKE TO USE

176
00:35:22.152 --> 00:35:33.597
IT SO IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT THAT THEY WOULD PUT FUNDS INTO IMPROVING THAT PORTION OF THE HOME. AND THEN AS FAR AS PROPERTY TAXES GO AGAIN I'LL VERIFY MY INFORMATION BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY TAXES ARE

177
00:35:33.597 --> 00:35:42.873
CALCULATED BASED ON THEARKET VALUE OF THE HOME. BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN THEY'RE SELECTING A FAMILY AND SETTING THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS SO I CAN GET MORE INFORMATION

178
00:35:42.873 --> 00:35:53.083
ON WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. I APPRECIATE THAT. YEAH, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT IT IT'S LIKE IT WAS LOOKING LIKE A $60,000 DOWN PAYMENT AND THEN THEY WOULD BE IN A $1,300 MONTHLY PAYMENT.

179
00:35:53.083 --> 00:36:05.229
SO I JUST WAS A LITTLE TAKEN ABACK BY THAT AND QUESTIONING THAT AFFORDABILITY MYSELF WITH THAT BIG OF A DOWN PAYMENT. YEAH, SURE. AND COMMISSIONERS, ONE OTHER THING I'LL NOTE IS THAT

180
00:36:05.229 --> 00:36:15.973
OFTENTIMES ESPECIALLY FOR OUR PARTNERS HABITAT AND HOMES WITHIN REACH THERE THE DOWN PAYMENT IS SIGNIFICANT AND SO OFTEN THEY'LL WORK WITH DOWN PAYMENT PARTNERS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SECURE A DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE ESPECIALLY

181
00:36:15.973 --> 00:36:27.184
FOR A PROGRAM THAT'S TAILORED TOWARDS FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS. SO THERE WOULD BE MULTIPLE LEVELS OF ASSISTANCE TO GO TOWARDS BEING ABLE TO TO MEET THAT LEVEL OF AFFORDABILITY. PERFECT. THANKS. IF YOU CAN JUST GET THAT

182
00:36:27.184 --> 00:36:36.927
CLARITY FOR ME, I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WHAT WE HAVE REACHED THE END OF OUR MEETING AND THE END

183
00:36:36.927 --> 00:36:47.905
OF OUR AGENDA SO MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE TUESDAY, JULY 14TH? SORRY HRA MEETING SO MOVED MOVED BY COMMISSIONER WHO CAME

184
00:36:47.905 --> 00:36:59.884
SECOND IN SECOND BY COMMISSIONER CARTER. ALL IN FAVOR? I MOTION PASSES 620 THANK YOU
