Re: Neighborhood Partnership Program (NPP) Funding Recommendations
Dear President Wilson and Members of the City Council:
I am pleased to forward for your review and action the funding recommendations
for the 14th Cycle of the NPP. On July 13, 1990, the Planning Commission
reviewed 11 applications and decided to recommend funding for 5 proposals. I
support the Commission's recommendation. The S proposals recommended by the
Planning Commission, Department of Planning and Economic Development and me
are:
Project Name Recommended Funding
1. Lexington/Hamline Housing $174,800
Improvement Program
2. Sherburne Initiative 69,500
3. East 7th Street Economic 113,000
Revitalization .
4. Vacant Housing Rehabilitation 104,850
Phase II
5. Sibley Manor Resident Council 9,850
Crime Watch
These NPP funding recommendations are based on a rating and ranking process
that includes review by the long range Capital Improvement Budget committee,
neighborhood district councils, Planning Commission, and PED. The result of
this process is identified on the attached planning commission resolution.
Rating recommendations and funding recommendations (Attachment A) are part of
the resolution. Copies of the 11 applications are enclosed along with a
summary listing.
I am pleased with the overall effort in our neighborhoods and the quality of
the NPP applications. I would urge swift City Council selection of the 14th
Cycle projects.

1. What is the exact amount of your NPP fund request? $ 136, 050
2 . Is it a loan or qrant request? Grant
3. Ahat is the total declaration of neiqhborhood contributions? $ 294 , 000
4 . Describe in detail your project - primary purpose, specific features,
guidelines, etc.
The primary purpose is to improve Wabasha Street as the principal
gateway to the West Side and, as the' center of an area experiencing
serious physical decline, to create an impetus �or other improvements
to residences and business.
A secondary purpose is to complete the work as cost e�fectively as
possible by coordinating it with other work in the area, including the
major redevelopment associated with the Wabasha Development Initiative
1
(see attached summary) , and sewer separation work scheduled for 1990. �
NRP funds are committed for construction of the child care center in
1990 and for construction of the new housing portion of the development
in 1991.
Sewer separation is scheduled for two blocks of Robie and Hall in the
project area, and, as part of this NPP application process, residents
have committed to payment of special assessments for boulevard
improvements and new lighting, all of which will occur in 1990. CIB
funds are committed for sewer relocation at Wabasha/Congress (1990) and
traffic improvements at Wabasha/Winifred (1991) .
NPP funds are committed for rental housing rehabilitation.
Commercial Rehabilitation Loan funds, private loans and owner equity
contributions will be used to complete the commercial revitalization at
Lower Wabasha.
In order to complete the gateway revitalization, additional money is
required for needed street improvements.
The area of the street improvements to be paid by NPP funds is confined
to South Wabasha/Humboldt from Concord to George and along Winifred and
Congress from Hall to Wabasha to include street lights, trees, sidewalks
repair and repair of curb and gutter (see attached schedule of
improvements) . The cost totals $120, 050. The new housing development
will pay for $17, 000 of those improvements adjacent to that site from
a City fund designated for public improvements adjacent to low income
housing development sites.
In addition, if done with sewer separation work elsewhere in the area,
Congress can be paved and curb installed at a cost substantially below
normal, even though not originally scheduled to occur. Residents will
pay an assessment of $19 per foot as with sewer separation and NPP funds
will be used to complete the lighting on that street. Public works is
currently reviewing its budgets to determine if the additional $25 , 000
to do the paving can be secured, and should be in a position to make a
definite commitment by the time of the hearing on this request.
Traffic improvements are needed at the Concord/Wabasha intersection to
correct a dangerous situation that impedes customer traffic to
businesses both on Concord and Wabasha. Those improvements, which will
include lane designations and center islands, will total $25, 000.

need to encourage private property owners abutting scheduled sewer
separation work to opt to pay the cost of lighting and boulevard
improvements on blocks adjacent to Wabasha/Winifred (Robie and Hall
Streets) , to make landscaping and other exterior improvements to their
property and otherwise provide a catalyst for improvement.
The street improvements are also part of the overall Development
Initiative and will ensure that the housing and child care construction
have their intended catalytic effect, that is, to improve and stabilize
the area and encourage additional property improvements.
See attachment regarding District 3 needs and goals.
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives of
your project.
a. Visibly transform Wabasha Street into a positive element.
b. Stabilize businesses and encourage property improvements.

li. Will the project benefit low and moderate income households?
Yes X No . If Yes, describe.
The new housing, rehabilitated housing and child care are all targeted
to lower income people. The primary beneficiaries of improvement of
the gateway and stabilization of business are also lower income people
who form the bulk of the population in the area.
The target area lies within Census Block Group 371-6 in which, according
to the 1980 census, 720 of all residents were low or moderate income.
It is widely perceived in the community that the percentage of low
income residents in the area has increased significantly since the 1980
census. -
12 . Describe your organization - history, structure, membership, etc. and
its experience in manaqinq similar projects.
The Neighborhood Development Alliance (NeDA) is a non-profit
organization formed for the purpose of developing alliances with
neighborhood organizations to implement programs for the revitalization
of lower income neighborhoods, with a focus upon developments of high
visibility and impact most likely to provide a catalyst for other
improvements.
Collectively, the board of NeDA has broad experience in housing and
commercial development and management, finance, organizational
management and coordination of the delivery of social services.
West Side NHS has operated since 1981 and has administered numerous
grant and loan programs. West Side NHS is a non-profit organization
with a Board comprised of residents and representatives of government
and financial institutions, with residents holding a majority of seats.

developer for the overall project, for the staff necessary to implement
this aspect of the Wabasha Development Initiative, including design
meetings and the pledge of improvements by individuals to meet the
declaration of neighborhood contributions, and assistance to property
owners with financing, construction, etc.
15. Describe the citizen participation process for this project.
The Wabasha Development Initiative, including the street improvements

10 . What evidence is there that the above declarations are realistic?
Through group and individual meetings with businesses, specific
improvements to property have been identified that the owners have
stated that they will undertake, if the NPP request is approved. These
owners have agreed to provide letters of intent identifying the
improvements is kind and amount, totalling approximately $200, 000.
Those letters will be submitted at the time of hearing.
Other owners have expressed an intention to upgrade their properties if
this initiative goes through but have not made specific plans. Two
other properties are currently for sale, and improvements by the new
owner will be solicited and are likely. The additional $50, 000 private
match needed can realistically be obtained.
In addition, all of the improvements planned are of a type eligible for
financing through the City Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Program. The
businesses involved are financially sound and credit-worthy.
A recommendation to provide money for the new housing development from
the City fund for street improvements adjacent to low income housing
developments has been obtained from the Housing Division of PED.
Written confirmation will also be provided.
Through public meetings and individual contacts, residents who have the
option to obtain street paving, boulevards, lighting, etc. have stated
their desire to pay special assessments for the improvements. Several
residents have agreed to circulate a written petition documenting their
support, which will also be presented.
Those same residents have also stated a desire and intent to make
landscaping and other improvements to their property. Specific, written
commitments will be sought from them in conjunction with the signing of
the petition.

SUMMARY
�
WABASHA DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE �
The Wabasha Development Initiative proposes to dramatically change the look
and the quality of life in the Wabasha Street area of the West Side. It is the
beginnmg of a full-scale revitalization of the community.
The West Side is a physically old neighborhood. Despite the vitality of its
residents, parts of the West Side are run-down and look tired. The Wabasha
Development Initiative will revitalize one such tired area as an immediate, visible
message that our community remains vital and has residents committed to its
future.
Since one project alone cannot answer all the physical needs of the West Side,
this initiative also includes a strategy for self-help and self-sufficiency. Since
our structures are old, we will give our neighbors the skills to repair their own
homes. Since freeways, malls and job distribution have chan�ed the community
and focused attention outside its boundaries, the Initiative will refocus attention
on family and neighborhood ties.
The $4.5 million project will foster the resurgen�e of the strong and nurturi�lg
family environment that has characterized the West Side for many generations. A
coalit�on of city and neighborhood organizations will:
-- build new housing,
-- rehabilitate existing homes and commercial buildings,
-- clear dilapidated structures,
-- improve the street and dangerous intersections,
-- provide on-site services -- such as child care, counseling, social
services referrals, parenting classes, and home ownership and tenant
training -- targeted to families in the area.
The Neighborhood Development Alliance and the West Side Neighborhood
Housing Service have made a joint request for Urban Revitalization Action
Program and Communiry Resouces Program grants. In addition, Mill Valley
Properties, St. Matthew Child Care, CLUES, the Amherst Wilder Foundation and
the Center for Youth Employment and Training (CYET) will also provide critical ;
services.
The proposal requests $1,767,000 in URAP funds for the ph sical redevelopment
and $422,000 in CRP funds for the service programs. Another �2,398,000 from
private sources and other city funds will be added.
Proposal for URAP funds:
1) Build 12 new units of housing for families, using federal housing tax credits;
2) Purchase and renovate absentee-owned rental properry on the streets
adjacent to the Wabasha-Winifred block for either owner-occupied or rental units;
1 '
EXHIBIT C
i".._ �".
R
3� Revitalize commercial enterprises by converting the Castro Auto Repair
buil mg on Winifred to a child care center, relocating Castro's and Kastner
Drywall to commercial districts in the neighborhood, purchasing�roperty for
parkmg as well as providmg low interest loans and grants for business expansion;
4) Clear two residential properties, relocate two rental buildings to the site
of the Tree Service building that will be removed, and demolish the vacant Glass
House building to use the site for new housing construction;
5) Design and install traffic control improvements at two dangerous
intersections: Concord and Wabasha, and Wabasha and Winifred;
6) Plant trees, lay sod, install decorative lighting and build sidewalks along
Concord, Wabasha and Winifred;
7) Relocate the storm sewer in the Humboldt right-of-way to Wabasha, in
conjunction with the 1990 sewer separation.
Proposal for CRP funds:
1) A,ssist 40 families in stabilizing their families and attaining self-sufficiency
through the Familv Self-Sufficiency Proeram, operated by CLUES. Available
program services include GED class �se ob skill identification,job skill training,
parenting classes, health care counseling, financial management, home maintenance
training and child care.
2) Provide hi�h qualiry child.care at affordable prices for fifty�ive more
neighborhood children by increasing the capacity at the St. Matthew Child Care
from 50 to 70 chiIdren and converting the current center to 30 slots of infant
and toddler care. Add weekend and second shift child care. Keep open five slots
for sick child care and five slots as back u� to home care providers. Have
Wilder train child care staff for therapeutic child care for children with behavior
problems, and provide classes to home care providers for recertification, nutrition,
child development, health screening, use of educational material and methods,
etc.
3) Offer�arenting classes in the child care center through Wilder and CLUES
to tenants in the developed properties, other area residents and users of the child
care center.
4) Provide education to tenants and area residents in botfi maintenance and
finance to prepare tenants for future home ownership and to enhance the skills of
existing owners through home ownershi� skiIls training offered by CYET. Include
teachers who can speak Hmong and Spanish. Refer homeowners through NHS, and
refer residents, particularly seniors, in need of re�air assistance through Wilder
and other a�encies. Muster a volunteer work force of retired neighbors, members
of the building trades and teens.
5) Structure ownership of rental pro�erty as a lease coo�erative in order to
assure community control of rental housmg stock. Provide tenants instruction in
the lease cooperative system.

� Re: Wabasha Development Initiative
NPP Street Improvement Application
Dear Mr. Miller:
It is my understanding that the Neighborhood Development Alliance
and West Side Neighborhood Housing Service have applied to the City
of St. Paul Neighborhood Partnership Program for funds to complete
street improvements along Wabasha and Humboldt Streets, between
Concord and Robie. Our business is located in that area.
We also understand that the community must document other
improvements that will be made over the next two years within that
area in a dollar amount equal to twice the amount of the NPP funds
requested.
If the NPP request is funded and the street improvements you
propose are made, it is our intention to also make improvements to
our property as follows:
1. Fence repair/replacement $3, 000
2 . Relocation of trash enclosure and
construction of screen fence $2,000.
3 . Other exterior repairs and
landscaping $40,000.

East Seventh Area Business Associ�tion, the Dayton's Bluff C�munity Council and PID �Ieighbor-
hood Development :iave �...n w�rltiinc; during th� past year on a car�prehensive plan to revitalize
the East Seventh Street business strip. Z'he long-term goal is to provide oontinuity for Seventh
Street, linking the West Seventh Street revitalization, d�wntown Seventh Street improvements and
new bridges on East Sev�nth. When the project is brought to fruition, the traveler will see one
continuous avenue, spanning the city.
One important elPlnent of this strategy is a program of public improvgnents in a concentrated
area centered on the intersection of Arcade and Seventh. These improvements will be divided
into two phases.
Phase One:
- Streetscape improvements, includi.ng planting trees, replacing old lighting with lantern fix-
tures, installing decorative street pavi.ng at the Arcade/Seventh intersection and adding
benches, bollards and shrubbery. The canbined effect of these changes will be to create a
welcoming atmosphere for visitors and residents.
- Architectural assistance to aid businesses within the target area in improving their prop-

Overview:
Now is a pivotal time to assure the oontinuing ec:onanic viability of the Dayton's Bluff E.
Seventh neighborhood. The area still suffers from previous revitalization efforts which have
fallen short of their intended goa].s; fear of another failure has polarized the business
con4nunity.
Naw is the time to seize the momentum gained fran the arrival of Metro State University, the
reaffirmation of 3M's cormlitment to the area, the construction of new gateway bridges, and the
inuninent Third Street URAP project and the grass roots coalitions it has fostered among neigh-
borhood organizations.
By acting now to make visible improvements in the Seventh Street area, ESSERP will generate
private investment fran business owners who have gained confidence in the neighborhood's
successful redevelopment, and hope in its long term survival.

1. What is the exact amount of your NPP fund request? $ 91 . 500
2. Is it a loan or grant request? G r a n t
3. What is the total declaration of neighborhood contributions? (complete
pages 8 & 9) $ 94 , 500
4. Describe in detail your project -primary purpose, specific features,
guidelines, etc. (If multiple projects are proposed, i.e. residential
rehab and chore service, each must be separately described) .
The Sherburne Initiative NPP is a complementary document to the
Sherburne Initiative NRP (URAP ) Project . It provides incentive
for residents along Sherburne Avenue , primarily , and Charles and
Edmund Avenues, secondarily , to demolish garages which have
deteriorated to an unsafe , u�healthful , and unattractive condition .
Additionally , this NPP will provide increased street lighting
within the NRP boundaries . The Sherburne Initiative NRP , not
funded to its fullest capacity , will be adjusted to focus upon
priorities of site assembly and substandard housing. We request
NPP funds to support those remainder components crucial to positive
visual impact , and a safer neighborhood environment .
Garage Demolition
This approach represents our commitment to the whole property ,
looking beyond the boundaries of the house in need of repair . In
facilitating the garage demolition effort , the following guidelines
are proposed:
Eligible participants will demonstrate incomes within 80°0 of inedian
Both homeowners and landlords may participate in the project
NPP Application Page 2 Project Name Sherburne Initiative NPP ,
4. Project Description (continued)
NPP f�nds will provide 50°b of cost of demolition ; participant ,
r�maining 50�
� Thomas, Dale District 7 Planning Council , Inc . will administer the
project , including promotion of the opportunity to residents ,
comfirming the appropriate dollar match from participants , and
all reporting and evaluation
Through a phase approach , priority will be awarded to residents
of Sherburne Avenue , then to residents on Charles and-Edmund
Avenues . Within that structure , participation will be on a first
come , first served basis
City rehabilitation inspector will provide assistance in determination
of garage eligibility for demolition
Increased Lighting
Although adequate lighting is an issue for much of District 7 ,
our project continues its concentration in the Kent-Sherburne/
Sherburne Initiative arena . Installation of the lighting will
be a responsibility of the City of St . Paul .

5. Briefly describe, the specific problem/need your project is designed
to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies.
The City Comprehensive Plan Update of 1983 presents the following
as the first of its new initiatives in physical development : "The
area bounded by University , Thomas , Avon , and Western should be the
next area designated for concentrated rehabilitation . The district
will consider this as a high priority area in its application for
Neighborhood Partnership funds . " (pg . 5 )
Additionally , the "Sherburne Dale Revitalization Concept" presented
by the City in 1989 consistently points to blight and crime issues ,
and recommends a substantial investment of public funds to turn the
area around . All NRP efforts have focused toward the revitalization
effort ; the Sherburne Initiative NPP is a complementary proposal .
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives
of your pro�ect.
1 . Will decrease concentration of blight along streets 3 blocks
north of University Avenue , by addressing needs of deteriorating
housing stock
2 . Will decrease capacity for unsa�fe behavior by providing increased
street lighting , and by removing deteriorating structures to
which District 7 ' s children are attracted for play and fire
setting
3 . Will increase opportunities for crime prevention , by providing
increased street lighting
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable terms, the specific results and
impact your pro�ect will achieve when completed.
The Sherburne Initiative NPP will :
1 . Provide for the removal of 30-35 substandard , deteriorating
garages ,
2 . Facilitate the rebuilding of 5-10 acceptable garages
3 . Provide 90 additional _.streetlights throughout the NRP/NPP
target area

8. In order to accomplish your objectives does your pro,ject have to be .
coordinated with any other project/program7 Yes No X If
Yes, describe the other project/program and the relationship.
The Sherburne Initiative NPP does not require coordination with
any other projects or programs ; it is designed to complement NRP
funding reduced through the NRP allocation process .
9. Will this project be completed in 2 years? Yes X No If not,
explain how it will become self-sustaining without further NPP funding.
10. Will �his pro3ect result in increased maintenance and operating costs?
Yes No If Yes, explain how the project will
privately pay for those costs.
Maintenance and operating costs will increase to the extent that
citizens are assessed for the additional street lighting .

social concern, housing , and community and capacity building . It is
governed by a Board of Directors which represents equally residents
from each of 4 subdistricts , and includes seats for business and
at-large membership . Traditionally staffed by Community Organizers ,
this organization recently committed to a change in philosophy ,
hiring instead a Director who will attend to issues of organizational
development which run parallel to its community representation .
Our organization, looking toward its future , is committed to the
discovery and reflection of the issues of this multicultural
community . We are interested in maintaining a positive track
record in the management of our projects. Most recently , we were
successful in promoting 30 housing rehabilitation loans to
participants within the Kent-Sherburne NRP target area.

experience in management is significant . Most recently , she
accepted the role of Executive Director of Thomas Dale District 7
Planning Council , Inc . , where she is committed to healthy management
of each project to which the Council is obligated .
15. Describe the citizen participation process for this project.
The Sherburne Initiative NPP was an outgrowth of District 7's
NRP process, an activity which included a revolving collection
of citizens from the target area, as well as consistent contribution
of expertise from The Wilder Foundation and housing development
agencies . Working groups met over a 6 month time period in a
variety of configurations , with a variety of topics and goals
for consideration. The Sherburne Initidtive NRP was the outcome
of that neighborhood-based process . The Sherburne Initiative NPP
is complementary to the NRP project .

16. Will the project result in either the returning of NPP funds to the
Neighborhood Partnership Program or the recycling of NPP funds
within the project? Yes No X . If Yes, describe.
This opportunity is intended to complement the Sherburne Initiative
NRP ; as such ,� it is a grant request which will impact a limited ,
measurable component of a larger endeavor .

Partnership Program:
The Sherburne Initiative NPP :
--Promotes a partnership that will lead to a more attractive and
liveable neighborhood

5. Briefly describe, the specific problem/need your project is designed
to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies.
Because of a history of illicit activity in and around our neighborhood our property values have
deminished, insurance rates are high, and we have more property for sale than ever before.
Also, we are being bombarded with real estate raiders that do not have the future stability of
our neighborhood at heart and therefore contribute to the deterioration of our housing stock.
We intend to address the forestated concerns by promoting more ownership of properties and
the desirability of decent renters to move to our neighborhood.
We've had (164) neighborhood dwellings (houses-duplexes) to utilize our grants program to do
exterior repairs which has enhanced the visual aspect of the neighborhood, but we need to
encourage interior code compliance so as to enhance the livability and marketing of properties
to caring buyers.
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives
of your project.
(1) Purchase and renovate single family and duplex dwellings so as to offer for sale to caring
buyers. Slow down and eventually stop the exploitation by real estate raiders.
(2) Renovate, demolish, or slab installation on garages.
(3) Improve the basic interior "code" conditions of homes.
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable terms, the specific results and
impact your pro�ect will achieve when completed.
(1) Five single family or duplexes will be purchased, renovated, and sold to caring families.
(2) Noticeable perception and image (positive change) in our neighborhood.
(3) The visual appearance of our neighboorhood will continue to be enhanced through the
re-enforcement of pride and values.

coordinated with any other project/programl Yes XX No If .
Yes, describe the other pro�ect/program and the relationship.
City Revolving Loan Fund - Offer low-interest loans for 1/2 of acquisition cost and all of
renovation cost.
LISC - Offer no interest or low interest loans for 1/2 of acquisition cost of homes
pre-development cost.
9. Will this project be completed in 2 years? Yes No��. If not,
' explain how it will become self-sustaining without further NPP funding.
This project as described in this proposal will be completed with possibly a home or two
to be sold, however, because of the guidelines set forth with the revolving loan fund,
propertities must be sold in a maximum of 2 years from the granting of the loan.
The concept of this project will continue for years.
10. Will this pro,ject result in increased maintenance and operating costs?
Yes No XX . If Yes, explain how the project will
privately pay for those costs.

I 11. Will the project benefit low and moderate income households?
Yes XX No If Yes, describe.
Anytime values, appreciations, and comforts are increased through beautification, cleanliness,
and calmness, it is a benefit to everyone. We will provide an opportunity for low and moderate
income households to own their home or duplex. We also will enable low and moderate households
to correct code items on the interior of their homes.
As more businesses and residents proudly command their turf, the neighborhoods become a safer
and more productive place to live and do business.

PROJECT NAME: WHITECROW GONLMUNITY CLINIC DEVELOPMENT
GROUP OR ORGANIZATION SUBMITTING REQUEST: ST_ PAUL URBAN INDIAN HEALTH BOARD
ADDRESS: 1Q21 MARION STREET ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55117
STREET CITY STATE ZIP
CONTACT PERSON FOR THIS REQUEST: GENE BEGAY DAYTIME TELEPHONE: 487-3315
1. What is the exact amount of your NPP fund request? $ 100, 000
2 . Is it a loan or a grant request? Loan Reguest
3. What is the total declaration of neighborhood contributions? (complete
pages 8 & 9) S
4. Describe in detail your project - primary purpose, specific features,
guidelines, etc. (If multiple projects are proposed, i.e. residential
rehab and chore service, each must be separately described) .
We propose to construct a one-story, 8, 092 sq.ft. free-standing ambulatory
care facility at the southeast corner of the intersection of University and
Arundel Avenues. The proposed facility will be constructed of wood, glass,
brick, concrete block, poured concrete and reinforcing rods. Lead shielding
will be employed to provide adequate protection from radiation generated
through x-ray services. The facility is designed and will be constructed to
accommodate the physically handicapped and will conform to OSHA regulations
and all applicable state, county, and city zoning and construction ordinances.
The proposed project is needed to accommodate the expansion of physical
facilities to continue the further development and provision of comprehensive
preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and environmental health services, for
St. Paul's low-income, uninsured, and medically underserved populations.

4. Project Description (continued)
�yo-%���
�_�w
NPP Application Page 3 Project NameWHrTE•CROW GOMn-tUNITY GLINIC DEVELOPMENT
S. Briefly describe, the specific problem/need your project is designed
to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies.
According to all available data, the health status of St. Paul's urban
Indian community is shamefully below that of the area's non-Zndian
populations and the U.S. as a whole. The construction of the proposed
facility will enable the expansion of desperately needed primary health
care services to our community's most medically underserved population.
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives
of your project.
This project has three main objectives: 1) to further develop and expand
the provision of a comprehensive program of socially acceptable and
culturally accessible, preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and environmental
health care services needed by St. Paul's low-income, uninsured, and
medically underserved populations; 2) to expand physical facilities, and;
3) to enhance the geographic accessibility of primary health care services.
7 . Briefly describe, in quantifiable terms, the specific results and
impact your project will achieve when completed.
Our current 1, 700 sq.ft. facility can only accommodate the spatial require-
ments of two (2) full-time physicians and one (1) full-time dentist. Spatial
constraints permit the provision of only 64 medical and 16 dental encounters
per 8-hr. clinic session. Inadequate electrical power prohibits the
implementation of urgently needed x-ray services. There is inadequate parking
available. The facility's poor geographic location limits accessibility to
many of our neediest service recipients.
Our proposed 8, 092 sq.ft. facility will accommodate four (4) full-time
physicians and two (2) full-time dentists. The proposed facility will
accommodate the provision of 128 medical and 36 dental encounters per 8-hr.
clinic session. The proposed facility has been engineered to provide
adequate electrical power and plumbing needs. 36 parking spaces will be
provided on-site. The proposed facility's University Avenue location will
dramatically enhance geographic accessibility.
NPP Application Page 4 Project Name WHITECROW COMMUNZTY CLINIC DEVELOPMENT
8 . In order to accomplish your objectives does your project have to be
coordinated with any other project/program? Yes ?�NO_. If
Yes, describe the other project/program and the relationship.
We contemplate the injection of URAP funds through the International
Marketplace and the Capitol Improvement Budget Process (CIB) . Our current
understanding is that the availability of these funds will be contigent
upon the receipt of funds requested through a federal appropriations
request. (See attached Draft Letter of Endorsement from Congressman
Bruce Vento. )
9. Will this project be completed in 2 years? Yes�No_. If not,
explain how it will become self-sustaining without further NPP funding.
10. Will this project result in increased maintenance and operating costs?
Yes_No�. If Yes, explain how the project will
privately pay for those costs.
�"9a�i�`��
. ���
NPP Application Page 5 Project NamewHrmFCRnW COMMUNITY CLINIC DEVELOPMENT
11. Will the project benefit low and moderate income households?
Yes� No_. If Yes, describe.
Approximately 50� (1, 000) of our current service recipients are subsisting
at income levels below federal poverty level. The City of St. Paul
acknowledges the percent of Indian persons below poverty level to be 25.20 .
In March of 1988, the City of St. Paul recorded an unemployment rate of
3.8%, as compared to 4.50o for the State of Minnesota, and 5.2$ for the
U.S. as a whole. By contrast, the City of St. Paul records that 19.10 of
the total St. Paul American labor force is unemployed.
Approximately SOo (1, 000) of our current service recipients are low-income
individuals whose incomes do not exceed 200$ of federal income poverty
level. This income level must cover all basic living expenses, including
food, housing, utilities, taxes, transportation, clothing, medical and
dental care, and education. This income level leaves little or nothing for
entertainment or nonbasic needs. Regardless of the thriftiness of the
family, this income level will not stretch to cover the annual
$1, 500-$3, 000 cost of health insurance for a family of four.
12. Describe your organization - history, structure, membership, etc. and
its experience in managing similar projects.
The St. Paul Urban Indian Health Board, Inc. (UIHB) was incorporated in
1978 pursuant to provisions of Chapter 317, Minnesota Statutes, known as the
Minnesota Non-Profit Corporation Act and is tax-exempt under Section
501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. UIHB is governed by a Board of
Directors (9) elected by the corporate membership (approximately 3, 000) .
UIHB is the primary provider of culturally sensitive, high-quality primary
health care services to the American Indian residents of the greater
St. Paul/Ramsey County area.
For the period of 5/22/89 through 3/13/89 UIHB provided 2, 686 units
(encounters) of primary care services to 1, 998 American Indian individuals.
Over 85 percent of these Indian individuals had not been examined or treated
by a physician within the previous year. In general, a significant majority
of patients served by UIHB have been treated for a variety of complex health
care problems. Thus, while attention is directed to the provision of
preventive services, by force of need, UIHB providers have had to devote a
significant amount of time to the delivery of acute episodic care, and to
the management of chronic medical problems.

Describe his/her background, skills and experience in managing similar
type projects.
Mr. Gelderman has a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture, and a Master's Degree
in Business Administration (with an emphasis in real estate finance) .
Mr, Gelderman has directed the development of:
North End Center - Retail shopping.

16. Will the project result in either the returning of NPP funds to the
Neighborhood Partnership Program or the recycling of NPP funds
within the project? Yes� No_. If Yes, describe.

Dear Mr. Chairman:
I would like to expzess my strong support for the funding request for the
St. Paul Drban Indian Health Bosrd.
This outstanding clinic located in my district serves about 3,000 native
Americans who zeside in the greater St. Paul Ramsey/County area. Title V
of the Indian Health Care Amendments of 1988 authorizes funding for health
care services for urban Indians. I believe the clinic provides
high-quality pzimazp health care servicee to low-income uzban Indians as
intended by the Act and I support the $500,000 requested by the clinic in
Fiscal Year 1991. -`
As you well know, urban Indians have a number of health care problems
including a high infant mortalitp rate, shortez life expectancy and
numerous othez diseases and discrders. This is due to lower rates of
immunization and less access to preventive care and othez physician
aervices. Fsercerbatiag this problem is t:� �::�:.i.at many urban Indians
do not benefit from government health care programs and cannot afford
health insurance.
As testimony given to your Subcommittee on Mazch 15 indicates, the St.
Paul D:ban Indian Health Board is fillinq the health care gap by pzovi�ing
essential primary care services to the area's Indian population.
However, ths clinic is facing increasing demand and spiralling health care
costs. FLading in the upcoming fiscal year would allow the clinic to
become a fuil-time, fu�iy staffed comprehensive primazy health care
cl:^ic. While Z understand the budget constraint you are operating under,
I uroe you to p:ovide funding foz this clinic.
� wouic apprec�a�e �hF opportunity to discuss this matter you further . If
you woL?6 �ike any fuzthez information on the St. Paul Urban Indian Health
Bc�_d, p=easF l�t mP know.
Thank you foz your attention to this request.
Sincerely,
B:u�e F. Ven�o
Member of Congress

3. Neighborhood Contribution Estimate: S 115,000
4. Project Description:
American Youth Hostels, Minnesota Council, (an educational, 501(c)3
charitable organization) seeks to develop the property located at 270
West Seventh St. , known as the Mannheimer-Goodkind House, as an AYH-
Hostel. AYH-Hostels are safe, low-cost overnight accommodations for
travelers from around the world. Physically, AYH-Hostels provide
dormitory-style lodging for men and women, shower facilities, a "common
room" where guests may socialize, and a self-serve kitchen where guests
may prepare their own meals.
More than simply budget lodging, however, AYH-Hostels are professionally
staffed and offer educational programs, interpretive displays, travel
information, and intercultural/intergenerational exchanqe opportunities.
AYH-Hostels put visitors "in touch" with the locale by offering them
opportunities to experience local traditions, visit the area's cultural
and educational resources, and learn about the community's heritage.
Conversely, local residents have the unique opportunity to have the
world's citizens appear next door and will be invited to take part in
ethnic dinners, discussions on international issues, and educational
opportunities such as neighborhood walking tours.
To ensure the safety and comfort of guests, AYH-Hostels have a few time-
honored traditions and customs:
* No smoking, drinking, or illegal drug use is permitted in the
buildings.
* Hostels generally establish evening curfews.
AYH NPP, page 1
* Access beyond the reception area is limited to registered hostel
guests.
* To help with upkeep and encourage a sense of cooperation, guests
are asked to perform a small housekeeping chore before departing.
* To keep costs to minimum and allow the facility to be cleaned,
hostels are typically closed for a few hours each day while guests
are out sightseeing.
* Visits are generally limited to three days unless prior
arrangements are made with the hostel manager.
Contrary to popular belief� AYH-Hostels are open to p�ople of all
�Qes, not only vounq�eople -- in fact� senior citizens are some of
�,YH's most �oyal members!
A building needs certain attributes to be a successful AYH-Hostel. The
Mannheimer-Goodkind House is well-suited to become a mid-si2e top
quality urban gateway hostel in the Midwest. Here's why:
NEIGHBORHOOD - The building's historic character and location on Saint
Paul's Historic Fort Road add to AYH's interpretive
programming, and its strategic location on West Seventh
Street will enable the AYH-Hostel to serve as a buffer
between the Irvine Park residential district and
commercial development.
TRANSIT - About seventy to eighty per cent of AYH-Hostel users
arrive by public transportation; thus it is essenial
that the hostel be within walkinq distance of interstate
or city transit buses. The proposed building is within
walking distance of the Saint Paul Greyhound Station and
is served by major transit routes.
TOURISM - Hostelers typically enjoy walking to points of interest.
The Mannheimer-Goodkind House is within walking distance
of Saint Paul's centr.al business district, Landmark
Center, the Ordway, and is just one block from the
Alexander Ramsey House.
BUILDING SIZE- The size of the Mannheimer-Goodkind House is appropriate
for a forty to sixty bed AYH-Hostel. Given current
utilization trends in U.S. hostels, this is an
appropriate size for a Twin Cities metro area hostel.
These and other advantages, such as its National Register designation,
make it a preferred location for an AYH-Hostel in Saint Paul.
AYH NPP, page 2

5. Briefly describe the specific problem/need your project is designed
to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive
Plans, Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies.
Saint Paul , as Minnesota's capital city, holds special interest for
students, individual travelers, school and youth groups, yet the cost
of an hotel room in downtown Saint Paul may well be beyond most of these
visitors' means. AYH-Hostels often make their journeys possible by
being:
AFFORDABLE - Nightly rates of $10-12/night allow young people of
limited means to see the world.
SAFE - AYH-Hostels have a worldwide reputation for providing
wholesome and safe accommodations.
EDUCATIONAL - AYH-Hostels provide educational travel opportunities
and further world understanding on the most basic
level -- person-to-person.
The proposed Mannheimer-Goodkind House AYH-Hostel Project benefits the
community in some very specific ways:
NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT - The project will renovate a vacant
building that is presently an eyesore.
The exterior improvements to the building
will increase the attractiveness of the
neighborhood to passersby. The AYH-
Hostel can effectively serve as a buffer
between commercial development on West
Seventh St. and the residential Irvine
Park neighborhood.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT - In other cities such as Miami and San
Francisco, the presence of a new AYH-
Hostel attracted new smali businesses to
serve the young travelers. The hostel's
youthful guests will create additional
markets for local businesses such as
restaurants and hardware stores.
FUTURE TOURIST DEVELOPMENT - Young travelers who are favorably
impressed with Minnesota may return as
adults as part of our more traditional
tourist economy.
The PED staff recomendation on the Mannheimer-Goodkind House reuse was
that the proposed AYH-Hostel was appropriate with respect to the City
Comprehensive Plan (personal conversation with Allan Torstenson,
liaison to the City of Saint Paul's Heritage Preservation Commission) .
American Youth Hostels has also been working closely with the West
AYH NPP, page 3
Seventh Street Neighborhood's Small Area Planning Task Force to ensure �
that community needs are met by the AYH-Hostel.
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important
objectives of your project.
* Provide affordable, educational lodging for American and
international visitors to Saint Paul -- especially visitors who may
not otherwise stay in the metro area.
* Enhance international understanding through intercultural exchange
opportunities in Saint Paul.
* Provide educational opportunities for both residents and visitors
to learn about the unique history of the Upper Midwest -- our
Native American culture, the development of the Twin Cities,
navigation on the Mississippi, and our ethnic heritage, as well as
a greater understanding of today's social issues --our
environmental concerns, race relations, rural economics, world
hunger, etc.
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable terms, the specific results and
impact your project will achieve when completed.
There is currently an unmet need for safe, low-cost accommodations for
young people in the Twin Cities. For example, several thousand
schoolchildren are bussed in from outstate Minnesota each year to visit
the State Capitol, often loading busses at 3:00 AM to avoid an overnight
stay in Saint Paul . If a facility specifically catering to the needs
of young travelers were to be developed in Saint Paul, school groups
could stay additional days in the capital city, visiting the Science
Museum of Minnesota, the Children's Museum, the Minnesota History Center
under construction, and other cultural resources. Example two:
Providing an AYH-Hostel for students also serves special-interest
groups -- for example, high school drama clubs attending one of Saint
Paul's theatrical presentations.
It is estimated that a sixty bed Twin Cities Gateway AYH-Hostel will
provide safe, friendly, comfortable lodging for up to 10,000 domestic
and internationa� visitors annually. There is a boost for the local
economy as well: In the U.S. , AYH-Hostel guests typically spend
anywhere from $10 - $26 per day on food, admissions and incidentals in
addition to the overnight charge. At full capacity, the potential
contribution to the local economy could be neariy one half million
dollars annually.

8. In order to accomplish your objectives does your project have to
be coordinated with any other project or program? Yes�No_. If
Yes, describe the other program/project, and relationship:
The proposed project is (and should be) linked to a number of other
community and economic development programs and groups:
* Neighborhood Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Program of St. Paul
* City-Wide Commercial Area Rehabilitation Loan Program of St. Paul
* City of St. Paul's Commercial Vacant Building Program
* West Seventh St./Fort Road Federation
* Historic Irvine Park Association
* Minnesota and Ramsey County Historical Societies
* Minnesota Office of Tourism
* St. Paul Chamber of Commerce
* St. Paul Convention and Visitor's Bureau
* Others to be identified
Discussions with neighborhood groups to determine community needs and
establish linkages are underway. AYH is working closely with the West
Seventh Street Federation, the Small Area Planning Task Force, and the
Historic Irvine Park Association to ensure that the proposed AYH-Hostel
is a successful community-based endeavor.
9. Will this project be completed in 2 years? Yes�No_. If
No, describe how it will become self-sustaining without further
NPP funding.
A twenty-four month renovation and hostel development timeline is
anticipated.
10. Will this project result in increased maintenance and operating
costs? Yes�No_. If Yes describe how the project will
privately pay for thase costs.
Preliminary pro formas indicate that overnight receipts will qenerate
enough revenue to cover operating costs and maintenance after startup.
AYH-Hostels typically charge an overnight rate of $10 - $12 per night.
With a sixty bed facility, we anticipate increasing the number of
overnights each year, stabilizing at between 14,000 - 18,000 overnights
annually.
il. Will the project benefit low and moderate income households?
Yes�_No_. If Yes, describe.
It is anticipated that the Twin Cities Gateway AYH-Hostel Project will
create several jobs in the service industry within the West Seventh
Street Neighborhood; e.g desk clerk, custodial, and maintenance
services. In addition, the AYH-Hostel will benefit low and moderate
income Minnesotans who are visitinq the Twin Cities by providing them
AYH NPP, page 5
with affordable, educational, lodging. �
Since the AYH-Hostel will be located in the West Seventh Street
neighborhood, local residents, the majority of whom are low- and
moderate-income, will have the unique opportunity to meet with
individuals from around the world -- locations which may be beyond their
means to visit. The AYH-Hostel becomes a "Window on the World" for
its neighbors; conversely, it becomes a "Window on America" for
international visitors to Saint Paul. For many visitors, the AYH-Hostel
will offer a glimpse into the Midwestern way-of-life quite different
from that which they may have observed on the east or west coasts.
The broad array of hostel-based interpretive programs to be offered to
the community will directly benefit the neighborhood's low- and
moderate-income residents, providing them with ongoing education in the
areas of world affairs, l�innesota history and environmental issues.
12. Describe your organization - history, structure, �embership, etc.
and its experience in managing similar projects.
American Youth Hostels was founded in 1934 to help individuals gain a
greater understanding of the world and its people. We do this by
offering affordable educational and recreational travel opportunities
and developing "hostels" -- simple, safe dormitory-style accommodations,
operated upon principles of community, interdependence and cooperation
among guests. An AYH-Hostel serves as a miniature "United Nations"
where world travelers gather in a cooperative environment, building
intercultural friendships and international understanding. We are a
non-profit, non-political membership organization open to Americans of
all ages.
In the Uni'ted States, AYH has 230 hostels in 40 states and the District
of Columbia. This network is rapidly expanding in response to
increasing demands to establish hostels in America's major cities.
During the last decade AYH has successfully opened hostels in Boston,
Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Santa Monica, Washington
DC, and, just opened April 26, 1990, a flagship hostel in New York City.
The last decade has been one of extensive cooperation between AYH and
federal, state, and local agencies in the United States. AYH's success
at developing hostels in cooperation with government agencies was cited
by the President's Commission on Americans Outdoors (1987) as an
example of non-profit/agency partnership efforts to be encouraged.
American Youth Hostels(AYH) is the U.S. affiliate of the International
Youth Hostel Federation (IYHF) , an umbrella organization comprised of 74
member countries, who, collectively, provide 5,400 hostels worldwide --
the largest lodging network in the world. There are more than 4
million members of IYHF-affiliated hosteling associations in the world
today.
Locally, the Minnesota Council of AYH, based in St.Paul's Midway
District, has jurisdiction over Minnesota, the Dakotas, and western
AYH NPP, page 6
�ya-�.��y
� -�
Wisconsin. One of thirty-nine local chapters of AYH, the Minnesota
Council has a membership of over 4 ,000, is professionally staffed, and
sponsors hundreds of educational outdoor recreation activities annually.
The Council licenses six AYH-Hostels in Minnesota,however most have very
limited capacity. There are no full-service AYH-Hostels in the Twin
Cities, nor within a 200 mile radius of the metro area.
The Council sells and markets memberships within its jurisdiction,
offers educational travel programs and workshops on foreign travel ,
bicycle safety, and leadership skills, as well as developing AYH-
Hostels. Minnesota AYH served nearly ten thousand participants in 1989 .
American Youth Hostels also provides group memberships for organizations
such as scout troops and schools to ensure that AYH educational programs
and AYH-Hostels are made avaiiable to wider audiences.
Minnesota AYH is currently involved a joint venture with the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources and the Minnesota Historical Society to
develop AYH-Hostel(s) in state-owned, underutilized historic buildings.
The venture is a demonstration project funded by the Legislative
Commission on Minnesota Resources.
Due to the critical role volunteers play in carrying out AYH's programs
such as hostel development, fundraising, and volunteer training, the
Minnesota Council has recentiy hired a full-time professional to
coordinate membership and volunteer services.
AYH is tax exempt by ruling of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Contributions to AYH are tax-deductible.
There is, however, a missing link in the worldwide hostel network: the
Twin Cities! In late 1988 the Minnesota Council designated the
establishment of a Twin Cities AYH-Hostel as their top organizational
priority. Once established, the Twin Cities AYH-Hostel will serve as a
gateway to the entire Upper Midwest, boosting international tourism,
spurring new hostel development and increasing utilization of other AYH-
Hostels in the region.
13. Describe riow your organization will manage this project -
activities, responsibilities, membership participation, etc.
The Minnesota Council will hire a specialist in hostel development to
serve as project manager for the Mannheimer-Goodkind House Renovation
Project. Major construction will be done under contract; however, in-
kind contributions of materials, philanthropic support, and extensive
volunteer involvement is anticipated.
14. Who is the designated project manager? to be hired
Describe his/her backqround, skills, and experience in managinq
similar projects.
Minnesota AYH anticipates procuring the services of a specialist in
AYH NPP, page 7
hostel development; American Youth Hostels has recently completed
major development projects in other urban areas ranging from $250,000
to $15,000,000 and is able to contribute expertise to the Minnesota
Council for this project. In the interim, Timothy Rudnicki, the
Minnesota Council's Executive Director, will coordinate the Mannheimer-
Goodkind House AYH-Hostel Project.
15. Describe the citizen participation process for this project.
Local citizen participation will be solicited and encouraged during all
phases of the project. An intensive public relations and volunteer
recruitment campaign will be conducted in both the West Seventh Street
Neighborhood and Saint Paul. Canvassing of local merchants and positve
media cover�ge will ensure that the project is viewed as a positive step
for the community. There has already been a high degree of public
support for the reuse of the Mannheimer-Goodkind House as an AYH-Hostel
-- notably the Small Area Planning Task Force, the West Seventh St./Fort
Road Federation, and the Historic Irvine Park Association (see
Attachment A - Letter to Mayor Scheibel dated March 26, 1990) .
Upon completion of the project, the AYH-Hostel will serve as an
international focal point for the neighborhood and the City of Saint
Paul offering community meeting space, educational travel programs,
ethnic potluck dinners, and presentations and displays on local history.
16. Will the project result in either the returning of NPP funds to
the Neighborhood Partnership Program or the recycling of NPP funds
within the project? Yes X No If Yes, describe.
Since the NPP funds requested are loan monies, at some point the money
invested in this project will be returned to the NPP fund for use in
other eligible project ventures.
17. How does this proposal meet the intent and goals of the
Neighborhood Partnership Prograa?
The Mannheimer-Goodkind House AYH-Hostel Project achieves many of the
Neighborhood Partnership Program goals:
The project will serve as a catalyst and rallying point for the
community to save a local historic landmark listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. The project has been created as a direct
response to the threatened demolition of this building whose historical
significance was described as "pivotal" in its nomination to the
National Register.
Since American Youth Hostels is a nonprofit charitable organization, NPP
funds can be leveraged with tax-deductible contributions, in-kind
donations, and foundation grants. By preserving the residential use of
the building, the AYH-Hostel will serve as a "buffer zone" between the
AYH NPP, page 8
�ya ,���
• b-�
Historic Irvine Park residential neighborhood and commercial development
on West Seventh St. The project has already engendered a high degree of
community support -- notably from the Historic Irvine Park Association,
Ward 2 Councilman Dave Thune, and members of the Heritage Preservation
Commission. (See Attachment A - Letter from the Historic Irvine Park
Association to Mayor Scheibel dated March 26 , 1990)
The renovation of the Mannheimer-Goodkind House for use as an AYH-
Hostel was the consultants' recommendation as part of the Mannheimer-
House Reuse Study commissioned by the City of Saint Paul. (See the
report by Thomas R. Zahn & Associates and John Gelderman, published in
March, 1990 for a complete discussion of reuse options and relative
costs. )
The proposed project represents an holistic, coordinated, public,
private, and civic effort to restore a city landmark in a
redevelopment/revitalization target area.

youth education, and projects which demonstrate the ability to mobilize
residents for community improvement projects.
NB: The overall project budget for renovation of the Mannheimer-
Goodkind House AYH-Hostel project is close to $1,0OO,OUO. The NPP
funds requested by this proposal represent about 15� of the total
project budget. Exact cost estimates are not available at this time
since the building's fate is still undetermined and we do not have
access to the building (See Attachment D -Issue Memqrandum on Site

ISSUE MEMORANDUM
SITE CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY AT 270 WEST SEVENTH STREET
The property at 270 West Seventh Street, built in 1874 and known as the
Mannheimer-Goodkind House, has had a varied and interesting career as a
rental duplex, a boarding house, a bed and breakfast, and, most
recently, a vacant, derelict building. The full chronology of the
building's history is well documented in the "Mannheimer-Goodkind House
Reuse Study Report" , commissioned by the City of Saint Paui in February,
1990 at the behest of City Council.
In late April, after reviewing the reuse study and hearing public
testimony about this National Historic Register property, City Councii
denied the appeal of owner David Berg to have the building demolished.
The reuse study reviewed the condition of the building, estimated
rehabilitation costs for various development scenarios, and analyzed
the economic feasbility of the alternatives. The study team found that
reuse of the building as an AYH-Hostel was the most economically viable
use of the property and recommended that the City of Saint Paul work
with the Minnesota Council of American Youth Hostels to attain this
objective.
As of May 17, 1990, the City of Saint Paul is investigating the steps
necessary to condemn the building which is currently a health and
safety hazard. There is also the possibility that the City will
exercise its right of eminent domain to come to a solution acceptable
to all parties in this venture.
Concurrent with the actions taken by the City of Saint Paul, AYH is
working to assemble a financing package encompassing commercial
redevelopment loans from the City of Saint Paul, bank loans, foundation
grants, and private donations. There is also the possibility of
issuing a tax-exempt revenue bond to secure the needed development
monies. Finally, the Neighborhood Partnership Program monies represent
an important bridge between the diverse resources for the Twin Cities
Gateway AYH-Hostel Project in Saint Paul.
Additional information on the issue of site control for this property
may be obtained from Councilman Dave Thune's Office and Saint Paul's
Planning and Economic Development Division.

introduction
"Hosreling? I was brought up on this sort of ihing, and I realize ihe need
for it. The more you circulate on your rravels the better cirizen you be- <; ;
come, not only of your own country, but of the whole world."
Franktin D. Roosevelt
American Youth Hosteis provides a window on Americ3 through edu-
cational and interpretive programs, available at more than 200 hostels ;! ;
across the USA.
The scope of interpretive programs is as diverse as the country itself,
from reenactments of Iffe in Pennsylvania during the Civil War to Yurok In-
dian language classes, acting workshops and more.
Guided tours, guest lecturers, organized outings and other activities
give travelers and community members alike an in-depth look at the his-
tory and traditions of a particular region. Maps, pamphlets, books, bul-
letin boards and other self-help guides, plus knowledgeable staff
members and volunteers, also help visitors learn more about local com-
munities.
The hostels themselves are often historical landmarks, from light- < ;_
houses on the California coast, a World War II battleship in Massachusetts
nn vania and Baltimore to a western
and beautfful old mansions in Pe s

Creative Partnerships
.
"AYH hostels---what 6ettes place than in our national forests
and parks o� along our urild coastlines? Visitors to our countsy
are drawn to our natural wonders; in such a hostel the magic
of the redwoods, say, or of the Golden Gate shouts out. Peace,
6rotherhood and environmental sensitivity---all wrapped up in
one wonderful package!"
Michael Fischer,Executive Director
Sierra Club
For the past 25 years,partnerships between American Youth Hostels(AYH) and public
agencies have eariched the experiences of thousands of visitor.� to our nation's cities and
parks. These partnerships have led to the establishment of hostels---affordable,dormitory-
style accommodations---in lighthouses,former military barracks and other historic or unique
public properties across the country.
AYH is a member of the International Youth Hostel Federation,a network of 5,000 hos-
tels and more than 4 million members in 72 countries. This network aims to promote educa-
tion and personal growth,mainly with young people,through affordable,educationa]travel
oppor[uni[ies.
AYH,working with public agencies,is continuing to make these opportunities a reality.
Sharing in this success are numerous agencies at all levels of government. As these partner-
ships grow,the benefits continue to unfold. These relationships:
• Open parks to a wider spectum of public users,especially to international
visitors and youth.
• Educate young visitors about the respoasible and respectful relationship we
have to the nation's vast cultural and natural resources.
• Preserve and maintain historic buildings.
• Stimulate community volunteerism on public property.
AYH thanks those individuals,too numerous to list,who had vision during the early stages
of hostel development on public lands. We thank those who continue to support aad work
with us on this program.
We are proud to present you with this publication,describing the development of several
of these hostels. We hope that this report offers an informative and inspirational resource
for those searching for a creative,unique approach to meet public recreational needs in the
future.

4. Project Description (continued)
The NPP mdnies will be used for acquisition, rehabilitation,
holding and marketing costs, NPP funds will also serve as
write_ downs necessary to meet the affordability requirements
of low and moderate income families, The previous NPP program
grant of $67, 500 has resulted in the development of 3 structures.
Two of the dwellings have been sold to Cambodian families with
the remaining structure currently undergoing development.
Coupled with this previous program, the Federation has managed
and developed two other NPP programs in the area. The Rental
Development NPP grant of $137, 300 resulted in the 2.4 million
dollar low income Goodrich Project which consists of 19 units.
The WIND Exterior. Grant Program provides grants to owners of
residential and commercial property and the budget is $128, 000.
Currently 750 of the monies have been committed since the program
commenced its marketing in t.Rarch of 1990.
The Vacant Housing Rehabilitation Program Phase II , will allow the
Federation to purchase structures in the immediate vicinity of
the Goodrich Project and return the multiple unit dwellings
back to their originial single family condition. Structures
currently for sale and/or being forclosed are 336, 341, 350,
354, and 358 Goodrich. Other potential structures in the area
which are vacant , in estate , or in the foreclosure process are
421 Goodrich, 279, 286, and 309 Harrison, 377 N. Smith, 437
Goodhue, and 406 Banfil.
The program will use the services of the St . Paul Home Loan
Fund for permanent buyer financing, and City of Saint Paul
Residential Revolving Loan fund for construction financing.

$85,000.
2. Is it a loan or grant request? Grant
� 3. What is the total declaration of neiqhborhood
contributions? $170,000.
4. Describe in detail your project- primary purpose,
� specific features, guidelines, etc.
The Hamline Midway Coalition has been actively involved in
residential and commercial development since 1987 when the
first two phases of the Snelling Commercial-Residential
Improvement Project began. One of the project activities
included in Phase I and II was installation of public
improvements. Members of the business community, neighborhood
residents and Coalition representives joined together to
improve the image of Snelling Avenue by creating a new
streetscape design.
The Snelling Conunercial-Residential Improvement Project
Phases I and II included the design of a community
identification logo, purchase and installation of banners,
planters, trash recepticals and information kiosks.
Phase III will complete the streetscape design with the
purchase and installation of 18 small planters, 4 information
kiosks and 154 iron tree grills. The primary purpose of these
improvements is to create a neighborhood commercial strip
that is attractive and inviting to customers and potential
new businesses.
' A secondary purpose of Phase III is to continue the process
of building cooperation between business owners and with the
neighborhood residents they serve.
�
NPP Application Page 2
5. Briefly describe the specific problem/need your project
is designed to address and cite references if possible
from City Comprehensive Plans, Anaual Citizens
Participation Goals and /or other studies.
This project addresses what the City's Comprehensive Land Use
Plan says is "the need to continue physical improvement
programs to reinforce identities which attract customers."
Snelling Avenue north from University Avenue to Hewitt Avenue
has been described by the city as a "mixed use strip" which
means it is a mixture of retail, general commercial, service
offices and residential housing. One consequense of mi�cing
use is the "hodge-podge" look of the strip. The Snelling
Commercial/Residential' Improvement Project III will complete
the process of unifying the commercial area and defining it
as part of the neighborhood called Hamline Midway.
As a result of the diversity there has been a lack of
collaboration or sharing of resources on common concerns
among business owners and the neighborhood. The need for a
viable Commercial Management Organization has been defined as
priority and in the Hamline Midway Long Range Plan. The
success of this cooperative effort will provide the incentive
to further organize the Snelling Avenue businesses.
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important
objectives of your project.
1. To improve the physical appearance of north Snelling
Avenue by creating a unified image.
2. To improve the commercial viability of north Snelling
Avenue by providing an attractive, inviting
env�ironment for people live, shop and do business in.
3. To encourage the organization of an effective,
commercial management organization.
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable terms, the specific
results and impact your project will achieve when
completed.
A. The streetscape design will be completed with the
installation of 154 iron tree grates, 18 small planters
and 4 information kiosks.
B. Decrease the number of vacant store fronts by 10$.
C. 12 businesses and 8 neighborhood residents will
participate in an ongoing process of developing
a Commercial Management Organization.

8. Inorder to accomplish your objectivee does your project
have to be coordinated With any other project/program?
yes X :va . If yes, desc��u� tiuz other project/program
and the relationship.
This project is an integral part of Hamline Midway
Coalition's total neighborhood revitalization strategy which
includes the followinq projects:
1. Hamline Midway Coalition and Snelling Avenue Business
Association's collaboration in organizing an effective
Commercial Management Organization.
2. The development of Hamline Park Office Plaza in
cooperation with the Hamline Midway neighborhood
residents and Justin Properties.
3. Redesign and renovation of Hamline Park playground.
4. Renovation and creative reuse of Hamline Park play
ground building.
9. Will this project be completed in 2 years? Yes�C
No .
10. Will this project result in increased maintenance and
operatinq costs? Yes_x No . If yes, describe.
A committee of business owners and neighborhood residents
are responsible for developing and implementing a
comprehensive, maintenance plan. The plan will include,
- Initiation of Business Association fees to defray some
of the maintenance expense.
- Contract with company to do "specialized" maintenance
such cleaning and adjusting banners, repair and replace- '
ment.
- On going recruitment of volunteers to plant and maintain
planters.
Currently volunteer business owners, neighborhood residents
and project staff are maintaining the improvements. Banners,
information kiosks and iron tree grills will be under
warranty for eighteen months after installation.
NPP Application Page 4
11. Will the project benefit low and moderate income
households?
The Hamline Midway area is CDBG eligible so the majority of
households are low and moderate income. In PED's St. Paul
Neighborhood Commercial Areas Inventory, Snelling-Midway
showed that 23$ of the square footage of commercial area is
made up of Retail Convenience (grocery stores, fast food
restaurants, drinking establishment; etc.) and 25$ is Retail
Shopper (furniture store, florist, book store; etc.) . 29$ of
the area is Auto Retail Sales/Service and Personal Services.
These businesses are designed to serve the neighborhood,
however, a more pleasing shopping environment, better
coordination of services and greater involvement in
neighborhood issues would increase the businesses benefit to
the low and moderate income households in the Hamline Midway
area.
12. Describe your organization - history, structure,
membership, etc. and its experience in managing similar
projects.
The Hamline Midway Coalition is a non-profit, community-based
organization made up of residents, business representatives,
clergy and representatives from other community
orqanizations. The Coalition's goals are; 1) to develop
programs for the improvement and protection of the Hamline
Midway community; 2) to increase citizen participation and
influence the decision making processes that affect the
neighborhoodf 3) to act as a channel for communication and a
forum for neighborhood views and issues; and 4) to do short
and long range planning to identify and address needs.
The Hamline Midway Coalition is governed by a Board of
Directors with positions for 20 delegates and 19 alternates.
There are over 100 active volunteers workinq on the Board,
various subcommittees, special projects such as Neighborhood
Promotion, the Horton Park Festival, neighborhood clean-up •
and the reuse of Samaritan Hospital.
Since January of 1987 the Hamline Midway Coalition has been
managing 2 NPP projects. A third residential rehab NPP began
in October 1989. The first two NPP projects consisted of four
project activities; residential rehab, commercial rehab,
public facility improvements (Hamline playground) and public
improvements on Snelling Avenue.

committee members are familiar with NPP guidelines and
implementation requirements.
13. Describe how your orgaaization will manage this project
activities, responsibilities, membership participation,
etc.

project.
This Project is a continuation of the first two phases of the
Snelling Commercial Residential Improvement Project which has
been initiated, developed and managed by a coalition of.
business and neighborhood people.
NPP Application Page 6
A committee of neighborhood residents and business people,
some of whom were involved in the first two phases will
commit their time to monitor the Project. Businesses will
also provide both financial and in-kind support for the
Project's private match.
Upon completion of the project a survey will be conducted by
volunteers recruited by the committee. The survey will give
the neighborhood an opportunity to respond to the
improvements, the process and the degree to which the
project's objectives were accomplished.
16. Will the project result in either the returning of Npp
funds to the Neighborhood Partnership Program or the
recycling of NPP funds within the project?
No
17. How does this proposal meet the intent and goals of the
Neighborhood Partnership Program?
A. Builds capacity of the Hamline Midway neighborhood to
carry out improvement efforts.
B. Combines incentive of public money with private funds to
address the problems on Snelling Avenue, i.e. , visual
discord lack of coordination of neighborhood resources
and economic development.

Re: Snelling Avenue Public Improvements
Dear Dr. Bomberg:
For almost two years now, my wife and I , have been working
with the Midway-Hamline community related to the
redevelopment of the former Samaritan Hospital site. We are
presently remodeling the existing Hamline Park Plaza office
building at a total cost of approximately $1 , 500 , 000 . In
addition, we are completing The Garden of Sculpture, which we
will invest almost $100 , 000 . in site improvements . As if this
was not enough, we have presently removed the existing
hospital and we are preparing for the new construction of 24
townhomes . This portion of the entire block development will
be at an expense of $3 , 000 , 000 .
During 1989 my wife and I had amble opportunity to decide not
to do the Samaritan Hospital site , located at 1515 Charles
Street, only one block East of Snelling Ave. in the City of
St. Paul. But for the incredible support by the Business
community, the Midway Coalition and the neighbors regarding
all of their recent and immediate actions to redevelop the
Snelling and University Avenue business corridors, we would
not have committed our resources on such a difficult
development as that of the Samaritan Hospital site. The
communities initiate for revitalization of the Midway
Business area, as evidenced by all of the great Snelling
Avenue public improvements , provided us with the final
motivation to carry through and give our absolute best
efforts in providing a top quality development in the Midway
Business community.
We have heard many times from tenants and our employees
positive comments related to the public improvements along
Snelling Avenue. These beautification efforts must continue,
so as to enhance all of the business enterprises along and by
the Snelling/University street corridors.
Respectfully,
,�G�. �;�, ���_ ;.c._..�(:� �.�.-:---

1. What is the exact amount of your NPP fund request? $� n nnp nn
2. Is it a loan or grant request? cntArrr
3. What is the total declaration of neighborhood contributions? (complete
pages 8 & 9) $ �� inn nn
4. Describe in detail your pro�ect -primary purpose� specific features,
guidelines, etc. (If multiple projects are proposed, i.e. residential
rehab and chore service, each must be separately described) .
The purpose of the program is to provide rehabilitation grants to residents to
make eaterior improvements to their homes or property (yards, garages, side-
walks, etc.) and to visually enhance the neighborhood as a whole. It will in-
crease rehab investment and rehabilitation activity in a specific target area
and increase opportunities for low and moderate incom�e residents to maintain
the quality of their homes.
� T� PROGRAti HAS 1�i0 COI�ONENTS:
A. MATCHING E%TERIOR GRANTS TO RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS - Anticipated
average grant amount will be $5,000, but amount will be fleaible based on
income and condition of house. The Impact Target Area is devised at tvo
levels:
1. Prominent corner houses will be targeted for eaterior rehab grants
vithin the area bounded by Leaington-Hamline, and Marshall-Su�it.
Improvements to prominent comer houses will capitalize on the neigh-
borhood strengths and will create a larger i.mpact to the whole block
because of increased visibility.
2. Concentrated Area - sizteen blocks of a twenty block area will be
the focus of publicity and activity to target all residential prop-
erty ovners with rehab grants for eaterior work. Specifically two
groups within the concentrated area will be contacted; eaisting
prap�ttjt-own�tssaa�'-prasp�etf�°bny�=s=(see=progra� component=B)..

4. Pro�ect Description (continued)
B. MARRETING PROGRAM - The co�ittee will develop marketing materials and
strategies to encourage prospective first time buyers into the Legington-
flamline neighborhood. The purpose will be first, to promote the strengths
of the Lea-Ham co�unity and second, to publicize availability of egterior
rehab grants up to $5,000, as an incentive to new home buyers in the commun-
ity. Specifically, buyers will be identified who wish to purchase homes which
may be in need of some eaterior rehabilitation. The Eaterior Grant Program
will be eaplained to these prospective buyers and used as an additional incen-
tive for families to purchase homes in the neighborhood. In addition, the
housing staff will aid prospective buyers to take advantage of first time
home buyer mortage money available through city and state programs. New home
buyers would be required to match any grant received with an equivalent amount
that is also designed for rehab purposes.
Matching Grants - A total of $150,000 of matching gr.ants, averaging $5,000
each, will be given to property owners for any eaterior i_mprovements. Private
match required for grants is based on a graduated income scale and is pro-
posed as follows:
1) No match is required for households where income is at or below 60x of
the median household income. (Limited to $10,000).
2) 1: 1 match is required for households where income is 61-80;C of the median
household income.
Households that eaceed 80� of inedian income are not eligible to receive grant
money, but rehab investment that occures on such properties will be included
as part of the neighborhood's private match. It is estimated that 100 house-
holds in the area will do an average of $5,000 worth of i.mprovements.
Features and Guidelines - Design assistant by flokanson-Lunning Associates, Inc.,
Architecs, will be provided to property owners to help with decisions concern-
ing construction design, colors or materials for eaterior work.
A committee of the Leaington-Hamline Co�unity Council composed of residents
, from the area have developed the guidelines for the program and will oversee the
program over the long term. The membership includes individuals who are pro-
fessionals in housing development and therefore have the eapertise to make de-
cisions concerning housing and real estate issues and will work closely with the
Leaington-Hamline flousing Program Staff who will be hired. Decisions concerning
eligibility, design, etc., will be reviewed by the entire co�ittee. The Lea-
ington-H�line Ca�inity Council will be responsible for the NPP Program.

5. Briefly describe, the specific problem/need your pro�ect is designed
to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies.
Improvements to a subtantial part of the Lea-Ham neighborhood are more evident
in recent years with increased rehab activity and an influa of new homeowners,
particularly in the southern portion of the co�unity. The blocks in the north-
ern end of the neighborhood, which are in the target area for this program, are
clearly less stable as evidenced by the greater number of hames in need of re-
pair, more homes for sale for longer periods of time and a higher number of
absentee owners. According to the 1981 Housing Condition Report, 5-10� of
residential properties in Lea-Ham are in need of substantial repairs. A more
accurate assessment of a windshield survey in the target area suggests that fig-
ure is 10-20Z. Continued non-investment in a neighborhood can result in a
spiraling decline in housing quality, inviting undesirable activity and making
it more challenging to preserve it as a stable, secure, �ulti-racial neighbor-
hood. The housing goal for Lea-flam Council in 1990-91 states, "Monitor all
truc ur s in the neia��,bor od and lan for their fut r and a 1 f r r hab �unds
�r�l�eas�e �is�t r�ri or3"r po�prrior�t$rtsh�Otrh�e�mroste1�mpor�an���b ge��ive�s za�ion.
of your project.
l. This program responds to the 190-91 Leaington hamline Coffiunity Council's
goal to increase rehab activity opportunities for lov and moderate income
residents and act as a catalyst for ongoing maintenance and rehabilitation
of residential property within the target area to contribute to neighborhood
liveability.
2. To improve the physical appearance of blocgs within the target area and
enhance the i.mage of the neighborhood as a whole.
3. Market the Lea-Ham Neighborhood and attract new homeovners to the targeted
areas through Rehab Incentive Grants and the Marketing Program.
4. Prevent neighborhood deterioration and eait by stable families able to
maintain their homes.
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable terms, the specific results and
impact your pro,ject will achieve when completed.
We anticipate that at least 4S properties will participate in the grant program
at some level and the community as a whole vill generate $650,000 worth of pri-
vately leveraged funds into the co�nity to match $180,000 of NPP funds.
Five to sia prominent corner houses will be rehabilitated with emphasis on
eaterior work that will result in a visual i.npact to the surrounding blocks.
Approai.mately 700 hours of volunteer time will go into the project over two
years to support and monitor the project. (Ten volunteers at an average of three
hours per month per volunteer.)

11. Will the pro3ect benefit low and moderate income households?
Yes g No If Yes, describe.
A grant �rogram will enable more residents to participate. The graduated
matching scale based on income is specifically designed to create realistic
opportunities for low and moderate households to make i.mprovements to their
properties.
12. Describe your organization - history, structure, membership, etc. and
its experience in managing similar projects.
In the late 1960's and early 1970's, residents in the Leaington-Hamline
neighborhood came_ together over a number of issues ranging from high
cri.me rates and falling property values to substandard infrastructure to �
inadequate recreational facilities and progra�ing. The Leaington-HamLine
Community Couneil was formed in 1968 and hired the first organizer in 1973.
The LHCC has grovn in two decades from a volunteer association of a hand-
ful of neighborhood residents to a paid membership of nearly 600 residents,
a seventeen member Board of Directors with seven standing committees, a
full-ti.me Co�unity Organizer and three-quarter-time Administrative Assis-
tant, a full-time Youth Program Supervisor, Dunning Park Director and
numerous part-ti.me s�er recreation workers and ground maintenance crew
for Dunning Park.
The LHCC has developed and now owns a seven unit law incame housing co-op,
and subsequently has eaperience in managing a complicated project that
requires considerable resident co�itment.
Because of its active citizen participation program through the Co�uunity
Council, Lea-Ham has developed a local as well as a national reputation
as an innovative leader in grass roots �.ait�atives based on social needs.
In this process, the Countil has gained the respect of gover�ent, corpor-
ate and philanthropic entities as an aggressive, yet pragmatic champion
of neighborhood causes.
Since its formation, Lea-Ham Co�unity Council has successfully addressed
the concerns which brought about its creation as well as n�erous other
issues, thus halting or reversing many of the aspects of the earlier neg-
ative trend.

13. Describe how your organization will manage this project - activities,
responsibilities, membership participation, etc.
The Leaington-Hamline Community Council will have overall responsibility
for the Neighborhood Housing Improvement Program. A project manager,
supervised by the Council's Coordinator/Organizer, will be hired to
administer the program funds and coordinate all aspects of the program
i.mplementation. The NPP co�ittee, comprised of Leg-Ham residents, will
work directly with the project manager and the co�unity to publicize the
program, obtain neighborhood pledges, refine guidelines and review pro-
ject applications. Periodic reports will be made to the Legington-Hamline
Community Council board, with the project manager being responsible for
coordination between the NPP co�ittee and the Board.
14. Who is the designated pro3ect manager? SHARON RAMIREZ
Describe his/her background, skills and experience in managing similar
type projects.
THE PROJECT 21ANAGER POSITION WILL REQIIIRE THE FOLLOWING QIIALIFICATIONS:
1. Administrative and coffiunity organizing skills.
2. Rnowledge of residential and co�ercial development resources and process.
3. Ability to build community leadership and support for the program.
4. Self motivated and resourceful and an able problem solver.
5. Egcellent verbal and written co�nication skills.
6. Ability to work with a racially and culturally miged population.
Note: lrts. Ramierz has the eaperience and skill to manage the Housing
Improvement Program due to her association with iiest Bank Housing
Development Corporation.
15. Describe the citizen participation process for this project.
The Housing Improvement Program (Neighborhood Rehab Incentive Program)
. was initiated by residents at a neighborhood pocket meeting within the
target area. A core of volunteers (see attached list) took the idea
for an NPP proposal to the Board and Co�unity Organizer and received
enthusiastic support and approval for the project. Neat the "vorking
group" drafted a survey in conjunction with this NPP proposal, and a
fia�mal grant request was submitted to First Bank Foundation for a
total of $45,200 to fund hiring a housiag .pro3ect=manager and to help
cover administrative eapenses. The current NPP proposal was submitted
as the first of a three-phase program for housing rehabilitation.
The committee that has evolved will continue to work in close conjunc-
tion with the Co�unity Council staff, the residents, and the committee
will continue to play a leading role in carrying out the goals of the
program, and recruit othe�in the target area and throughout the Lez-
Ham neighborhood to participate in this housing rehab effort.

16. Will the pro,ject result in either the returning of NPP funds to the
Neighborhood Partnership Program or the recycling of NPP funds
within the project? Yes No g If Yes, describe.
17. How does this proposal meet the intent and goals of the Neighborhood
Partnership Program:
The program was initiated and developed by residents to respond to issues
that they feel are important to the preservation and iaprovement of their
neighborhood. It is designed to be fleaible in order to be tailored
to circumstances and opportunities that are revealed throughout the pro-
gram time period.
The concentrated area was chosen to make an impact and provide resources
to residents vho are most in need and less able to participate in other
programs. The leveraging of private funds at a 3: 1 ratio is a considerable
investment for this neighborhood and demonstrates the commitment of Lea-
Ham residents to`improve� t6e housing e�ironment� for .present and fnture.

10. What evidence is there that the above declarations are realistic?
(Business expansion and private development proposals must demonstrate
the probability �of private lender support.)
It is realistic to assume that 45 property owners, approaimately 10�
of the total properties within the target area, will camplete rehab-
ilitation projects within the neat two years. Given the grant incen-
tive for substantial rehab projects, this is also a realistic source
of private money. Residents are aware of and prepared to target specific
' properties where circumstances match the program goals for substantive
rehab very closely and thus it may act as more of an incentive with
property ovners.
Several property owners will most likely be making improvements but not
be receiving any grant money, thus contributing totally to the match.
The LHCC has been successful in obtaining foundation support over the
years and has demonstrated a level of resourcefulness that shows no signs
of di.minishing. It is a determined and optimistic group!

Dear Mr. Riesenberg:
The Lexin�ton-Hamline Community Council is re-submitting a NPP (Neighborhood Partnershi�
Program) grant pro�osal t� the City of St. Paul for our Neighborhood Rehabilitation ]ncentive Pro-
gram (a copy of the �re-a{�p. is att�ched). 7'he Council received a grant from the First Bank System
Foundation in late December, 1989. The $5,()00 grant has been held in reserve until we can fully
implement our housing program.
Althvugh the Lexington-Hamline community is basicaliy a stable community, the issues facing our
community are increasingly complex and are not unlike most inner city neighborhoods with resPect
to the increasing rate of absentee ownershi�, deteriorating properties and drug problems. The Coun-
cil, in conjunction with the Housing Program T'ask Force, has developed a three-phase progra►n to
address the problems of housing blight in the Lexington-Hamline community.
Resources for the first �hase of the program are being sought from the Neighborhood Partnership
Program (NPP) of the City of St. Paul to provide money for exterior rehabilitation grants. The
funding request to the First Bank Fund is designed to provide staff for this project and su�port
efforts to develop the second and third phase of the Council's housing program. A more detailed
program description is enclosed.
We look forward to talking with you about our funding request. If you need more intormati�n,
please call Meredith Vogland at the L.exington-Hamline Community Council at 645-3207. 1�ank
you for considering our proposal.
Sincerely,

FIRST BANK SYSTEM FOUNDATION
Name : Lexington-Hamline Housing Rehabilitation and Stabilization
Program.
Service Area :
The total service area includes targeted properties in the
neighborhood area from Summit Avenue to Marshall Avenue and from
Lexington Avenue to Hamline Avenue . A smaller target area
includes properties within the area bounded by Laurel Avenue ,
Marshall Avenue, Lexington Avenue and Hamline Avenue.
Project Location/Address :
Lexington Hamline Community Council , 1385 Selby Avenue,
St . Paul , MN 55104 Telephone: 645-3207
Organization Deecription:
The Lexington-Hamline Community Council is a neighbohrood
organization which facilitates informed citizen participation ,
improves neighborhood livability and develops leadership skills
of residents . The Housing Task Force of the LHCC will guide the
housing rehabilitation program and work closely with program
staff as each phase is developed and implemented.
Neighborhood Scene/Major Development Challenge:
Although the southern segments of the Lexington-Hamline
neighborhood have experienced considerable housing rehabilitation
and an influx of new homeowners , the area bounded by Laurel-
Marshall-Hamline and Lexington Avenues , the target area of this
proposal, is more vulnerable to physical deterioration and social
problems . , This section of the neighborhood is clearly less
stable as evidenced by the greater number of homes in need of
repair, more homea for sale for greater periods of time, and the
higher number of absentee owners with little incentive to
maintain or fix up their properties . Accordfng to the 1981
Housing Condition Report , 5-10$ of residential properties in Lex-
Ham are in need of substantial repaira . A recent windshield
survey of the area suggests that 20-30$ of properties are in need
of repair in the target area . Lack of investment and repair in
this area could result in a epiraling decline in housing quality,
inviting undesirable activity and making it more challenging to
preserve Lexington-Hamline as a stable, multi-racial community.
Project objectives :
* Increase housing rehabilitation and investment in
residential property and act as a catalyst for on-going
maintenance. Increase opportunities for home-ownership,
affordable housing and community stability.
* Develop neighborhood control and guidance of future
rehabilitation.
* Improve the physical appearance of targeted blocks to
. enhance the imaqe of the neighborhood and attract new homeowners .
* Create opportunities for low and moderate income residents
to obtain resources to improve their properties .
Funding Request :
LHCC is requesting $45, 200 to hire program etaff and consu]ting
services to work with the Housing Task Force to develop detailed
plans and leverage financial and technical resources for each
phase of the Housing Rehabilitation and Stabilization Program.
This request is being submitted concurrently with a Neighborhood
partnership Propoeal (NPP ) to the City of St . Paul to provide
funds for Phase Is Exterior Rehabiltation Grents to property
ownere ( 10/89 ) . If Phase I is funded through the NPP, the
tlousing Program etaff would administer this program component .
(See Appendix E for a more detailed program description and
timetable. )

FIRST BANR SYSTEM FOUNDATION
APPENDIX E: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Purpose
The purpoae of the Lexington-Hamline Houeing Rehabilitation
and Stabilization Proqram is to develop the financial and
technical resources to increase the rehabilitation activity and
investment into reaidential properties in the community. The
program will develop eppropriate strategies for neighborhood
prioritization and guidance of housinq rehabilitation over the
� lonq term.
Rationale
In 1984 the Lexington-Hamline Community Council successfully
purchased, rehabilitated and converted seven HUD-owned single
family houses into a houaing cooperative and thus created
affordable housing for low-income residents and deviaed a stable
housing management arrangement within the community.
There is continued interest and concern to develop reeourceB
and strategiee to preserve and rehabilitate the houeinq etock
. within the Lexington-Hamline neighborhood. The consensus among •
reaidents is that this requires thoughtful planninq and expertise
to develop programs that are tailored to the needs nnd
circumatances in the community and would make the best use of
public and private reeources . Therefore a framework for a
housinq rehabilitation initiative has been developed and is
structured into three separate phases in order to address the
houainq related issues and provide opportunities for individuals ,
and the community es a whole. As an initial step, funde are
being eouqht to provide a houaing etaff person to the council to
implement proqrama that LHCC has the capacity to undertake and
develop the plans , financial resources and partnershipa with
other organizations to implement program phases thet are beyond �
the capacity of LHCC.
Phase I - Exterior Rehablitation Grants for Residential
Properties .
Rationale - Incentives for home improvements are an
effective means to spur rehab activity and provide support to low
�+nd moderate income houaeholds. Support for exterior work would
benefit the community as a whole and ideally act ae a catalyet
for continued improvements.
Reaources - A total of $250,000 is being requeated of the
City of St. Paul through the Neighborhood Partnerehip Program to
provide grant monies to match private investments of property �
owners in Lexington-Hamline. A preliminary proposal was
eubmitted March with the final proposal dUe May �$ , 1990 . ,
The program is structured to provide qrants of up to $5,000 to
rental and home-owner properties to make exterior improvements.
APPENDiX E (cont. ) �
Tf�e community will teverage s750�000 in nrivate investments and it �
1s antici�►ated that 50 pro�erty owners will be dlrectly 1 n volved in the
grant program. A similar N�P proposal was submitted but not funded 1n
1988, but city staff have advised the LIICC to revlse the proposal for
resubmisslon 1n the current cycle and preliminary discusslons have bee�
encouraging. '
The rec�uest for �45,2�0 from First Bank would com�►lement the N�P
proposal and be utillzed to s���nort a {Iousing Program Manager to im�lement
this f�rst �hase of the LNCC ►Iousing Rehabilitation and Stabllization
Program, ln addition, staff woi�ld asslst residents in optimum ut111zation
. of clty and private loan programs and begin the work to develop Phase I1
and Phase III .
Timetable - This is e two year program and would start; in I991 and be
Comp e�ed by 1993 .
F'hase II - Grant/loans to subs9dize substantive rehabilitation of rental/
o� r saTe prop��es.
t'hase III - Acquisltlon and rehabilitation of targeted houses for resale
0 omeowners.
'�"Note - The second and third phase have been identified as potential .
streteg es but ere admittedly prellminary at this stage. 1t 1s the lntent
of the Housirig Ta9k Force to work wlth the Housing Program Manager, if
. funded, to research and develvp the most ahproprlate plans and resources to
�ddress the goals of these program components.
Ratlonale - Changes in the tax laws , continued deterioration and a
compe ve ousing market have resulted 1n concerns about the potential for
rental prorerty and properties for sale to be rehabilltated and sold 1n the
prlvate market without the need for some substantlal subsidies �n some of
the units. Currently four NUD-owned houses ere vacant and for sale 1n the
Lex-Ham community. Several other properties have been for sale for a con- .
slderable length of time. All need substantial work. Given�the realities
of the ;�private market and the desire to provlde o�portunitles for affordable
hous♦ng and increase home oNnership in the target area, the second and thlyd
� phases ot the program are proposed. •
Resources - The Nousing staff rrould conduct more detailed research
about e c rcumstances of Cargeted properties. 1n addltion, th�s �erson
� Nould Identlfy property owners and non-proflt development organizat�ons
or private developers v+ho would be Nilling to carry out a program to do the
necessary acqulsitlon and/or rehabilltatlon of properties.
Money for such efforts rvould be sought from a variety of prlvate and
public•:sources lncluding the NPP Program, First 8�nk Systems, foundations, etc.
Tlmetable - Preliminary research and ptanning would begln in 1991 ,
and es�ima�e at actual program resources and implementation mechanisms
Nould be 1n place in 1992 .

3. What is the total declaration of neighborhood contributions? (complete
pages 8 & 9) $143 ,406
4. Describe in detail your project -primary purpose, specific features,
guidelines, etc. (If multiple projects are proposed, i.e. residential
rehab and chore service, each must be separately described) .
Sibley Manor is a large apartment complex with 550 units. . .55 buildings with 10 units in each
and a population of roughly 1 ,400. Though this complex is primarily comprised of low to mod-
erate income persons , and has a staggering annual turnover rate of 45�, it falls within the
boundaries of the Highland Park neighborhood, and thus demographics give no evidence of need.
Residents of Sibley Manor are expressing a need for a number of services, and are now working
with various agencies to form a partnership to meet those needs. At this point, even more
important to them than social services, are the forming of a Resident Council and a Crime
-Watch. . .to combat feelings of fear and isolation. The primary purpose(s) of the Resident
Council and Crime Watch will be to empower residents to: build a "sense of neighborhood";
organize and act on their oun behalf regarding issues of common concern , including their
safety; and work in partnership with other neighborhood resources including : Sibley manage-
ment ; community service agencies ; area businesses ; Highland Area Community Council ; and City
of St. Paul , St. Paul Team Police and Neighborhood Assistance Officers (NAO) and others.
Resident Council
Residents attended a public meeting a few months ago, to explore possible formation of a
Resident Council and Crime Watch . Among other issues , they were concerned about the 45%
annual turnover in renters , the effects is has upon the area, and the kinds of folks who end
up moving in. Those attending expressed a strong desire to establish Sibley as : a place that
more responsible people see as a place worth moving into ; a place worth considering when
choosing where to live in the "long-term"; and a community worth being involved in: To
achieve this , the group agreed on the followino : planning more community events (a block
party in August 89 attracted over 300 folks , and some tenants met each other for the first
time) ; working with management on beautification and recycling ; establishing a newsletter
prepared by tenants , to communicate with each other and with persons/groups they hope will
take an interest in the neighborhood; work on parking issues (a hot topic with many tenants) ;
. ' .

4. Pro�ect Description (continued)
and exploring the need for social services. As a result of the public meeting , residents are
aware that establishing a Council (and Crime Watch) in an area the size of Sibley will be es—
pecially challenging. Therefore, they are consulting persons/groups experienced in these
matters. The weekly meetings began in late March and will continue through the end of June of
90. Training and development vill include the following : writing bylaws; job responsibilit—
ies for officers (see attachment #1 for full list); how to keep records; how to solicit , train,
supervise and recognize volunteers ; how to promote and publicize activities sponsored by the
Council ; basic leadership skills; conducting meetings; developing voting procedures ; estab—
lishing the Crime Watch as a permanent committee of the Council .
The residents currently involved in designing the Council , will serve as an "ad hoc council"
till the first elections are held in October , 1990.
From July 1 of 1990, through January , 1993, residents will hold routine, monthly meetings to
conduct business. -
Cri�e Yatch
In recent years, crime has been #� on the list of things Sibley residents would like to see
addressed. At the public meeting, residents shared the following concerns : auto theft ; van—
dalism; loitering; excessive noise ; drug use/selling; speeding ; very poor lighting; each of
the 55 buildings in Sibley (each has 2 entrances) have no locks . Residents claim that much
crime here doesn ' t get reported. due to fears of retaliation and a sense of futility ( no one
who can or will serve as witness). With a 45� annual turnover , residents say it is very diff—
icult to know who your neighbors are, and thus , much suspicious behavior goes unreported.
Since August �989, Sibley has seen : a rape; a sexual assault ; a murder ; a severe beating;
and a stabbing.
Training and development issues listed above for Resident Council will be addressed by Crime
Watch personnel also, and in the same general time frame. As attachment #1 will show, the
two groups share personnel. The Crime Watch Coordinator will be an officer of the Council and
keep it informed of all crime—related activity. The 6 Block Captains (each one representing
one of 6 nevly created divisions of Sibley) , vill deal primarily with non—crime related issues
vhile meeting with the Council . These same Captains will meet less frequently (quarterly)
vith the Crime Watch Coordinator as the Crime Watch Cpmmittee. There should rarely be reason
to meet more frequently since the Watch members will be in constant phone, and face to face ,
�contact. The Captains will make an effort to enlist the help of one person in each of Sibley ' s
55 buildings. These persons will be called Building Representatives, and will literally serve
as the "eyes and ears" of the Crime Watch and Resident Council . They vill greet new move—ins,
serve as resource persons to folks in their building, and report crime—related and non crime—
related concerns to their respective Block Captain(s).
Concerns that fall exclusively to the Crime Watch are : designing a Citizen Patrol (residents
using "walkie—talkies" and a "base station" to patrol the Sibley neighborhood nightly) ; re—
viewing available and appropriate safety literature and develop a booklet for Sibley residents ;
learning how to get and use police data; possible use of Operation I.D. ; development of a
"phone tree", a system enabling residents to quickly gather neighbors as witnesses to a crime
in progress; seeking funds to put locks on building entrances ; seeking funds for improved
lighting; informing residents, through the newsletter, of the police, fire, paramedic and other
emergency activity occuring in Sibley.
Just as for the Resident Council , the Crime Watch will have an "ad hoc" group operating until
the Fall elections.

5. Briefly describe, the specific problem/need your project is designed
to address and cite references if possible from City Comprehensive Plans,
Annual Citizen Participation Goals and/or other studies.
The only known reference to Sibley 's current needs in a City document , is
a reference by St . Paul city planners in their "Data Profiles", recognizing
the fact that Sibley has no. community center facility , as do nearly all
St . Paul neighborhoods . Perhaps , someday in Sibley Manor 's future , there
will be a more appropriate building. for now, the two bedroom apartment
donated by management will serve the neighborhood 's needs vell .
One of the Highland Area Community Council 's �990 goals is to "Help
develop a strong neighborhood resident council for the occupants of Sibley
Mano� Apart�ents".
The actual number one proble■ in Sibley is a strong feeling of powerless-
ness and isolation on the part of residents . The actual number one need is
for individual/neighborhood empowerment.
6. Please list in order of priority the three most important objectives
of your pro�ect.
A. Help residents form a Resident Council and Crime Watch , thus involving
them in working together on common concerns , such as participation in
crime prevention strategies .
B. Help form partnerships with agencies and other neighborhood resources
to work on areas of mutual concern . See question four (4) for list
of "partners".
C. Help develop a "sense of community" within/among residents .
7. Briefly describe, in quantifiable terms, the specific results and
impact your project will achieve when co�apleted.
A. The Resident Council vill continue to meet once per month to discuss
events/circumstances affecting Sibley , and to take action as needed .
B. At least 15 residents (not serving on the Council) will be attending
Council meetings .
C. Crime Watch will be meeting at least once per quarter. Citizen Patrols
will take place every evening, other Crime Watch personnel (including
the Building Representatives) will be in contact a minimum of twice
per week .
D . A minimum of 27 persons (a Crime Watch Coordinator , six Block Captains ,
and 20 Building Representatives ) will be actively engaged in crime
prevention efforts.
E . An annual Work Plan vill be submitted to residents after each Fall
Election. A minimum of 80% of agreed upon objectives will be completed.

8. In order to accomplish your objectives does your project have to be �
coordinated with any other project/program7 Yes X No If
Yes, describe the other pro,ject/program and the relationship.
A. Resident Council and Crime Watch will need to work in cooperation with
St . Paul Team Police (SW Sector) , Neighborhood Assistance Officers (NAO) ,
area Fire Department personnel and others engaged in offering emergency
services to Sibley . This relationship will involve taking advantage of
these service provider 's knowledge and expertise through consultation
and , for example , to work cooperatively to improve emergency response
time(s) . An effort will be made to keep in periodic contact aith other
persons/groups engaged in crime watches such as : Sarah Cwayna (active
with Eastside) ; Connie Oppelt (coordinates crime watches for three apart-
ment complexes) ; Officer Corrine Manthei with St . Paul Police .
B. Must work closely with Sibley Management , area businesses , community
service agencies , Nighland Area Community Council , and others.
(See attachment #2)
9. Will this project be completed in 2 years? Yes No_�. If not,
explain how it will become self-sustaining without further NPP funding.
This project will not be completed in two years , but will be on-going.
Most of the items for which we are seeking funds are "one-time" expenses.
(See attachment #3•) If this project is as successful as hoped, a number
of funding options aill become possible , such as asking Sibley management
to help cover costs of the newsletter .
10. Will this pro,ject result in increased maintenance and operating costs?
Yes X No If Yes, explain how the pro�ect will
privately pay for those costs.
Yes , but very few dollars. If �e are able to , as hoped, install better
lighting in Sibley , there Will be some bulb replacement in the future ,
for which management will pay .

11. Will the project benefit low and moderate income households?
Yes X No If Yes� describe.
Sibley Manor Apartments is a lov to moderate income area. We know this through:
°Sibley managements knowledge of their tenants.
°Over the past eight years, a variety of social services have had at least some contact with Sibley
residents. The West Seventh Community Center has had a limited physical presence in Sibley, affering
emergency assistance, a holiday assistance program, and counseling.
The fact that rents in Sibley are lower than most any area of St. Paul, has made the neighborhood an attractive
place to live for those with limited incomes. At the same time, this has left few dollars for management to
spend on needed renovations.
12. Describe your organization - history, structure, membership, etc. and
its experience in managing similar projects.
The West Seventh Community Center, Inc. is a private non-profit agency which began operations in 1972. It
offers its own services: Adult and Family Counseling; Emergency Assistance programs; support groups, case
management and advocacy; a wide variety of services to Seniors; Vouth Counseling, and much more.
It also serves as landlord to ten other service providers: Community Corrections, Community Reporter
(neighborhood newspaper); Head Start; Parks and Recreation; Fort Road federation (District Council 9);
Dispute Resolution Center; Parents Anonymous; Little Brothers-Friends of the Elderly; Congregate Dining.
The Community Center has a 19 member Board of Directors, made up of area residents and community leaders.
Nearly all services offered are free of charge. There is no "membership" per se.
During the past seven years, the Community Center has directed/administered many large scale efforts,
including the Living At Home Project for area elderly, and the McKnight Family Project, a coalition of
five agencies working intensively with chronically troubled families. Our bookkeeper has been with us
for 15 years. We have the administrative and fiscal skills to efficiently manage this project.

13. Describe how your organization will manage this pro�ect - activities,
responsibilities, membership participation, etc.
The project/program belongs to the residents of Sibley. We can ensure that NPP dollars received are spent as
promised. We will work vith both the Resident Council and Crime Watch groups giving support, organization
advice and consultation, and any assistance requested. Someone from our center will attend meetings of
both groups.
14. Who is the designated project manager? Tim Lafleur
Describe his/her background, skills and experience in managing similar
type projects.
Project Manager will be Tim LaFleur. Tim is a licensed social worker who has been with the West Seventh
Community Center since 1985, and currently works as the Director of Adult Counseling and Emergency
Services. He will begin working full—time as the Sibley Outreach Worker in June of 1990. (See Attachment
#2 regarding this position3.
Tim has spent over 12 years working within five different St. Paul neighborhoods. His work has included:
individual and family counseling; youthwork; client advocacy; support groups; establishing and coordinating
foodshelves; organizing residents around common issues/concerns; working within coalitions; and much more...
and he has received awards for his work. Tim has been involved with Sibley Manor for three and one half years.
15. Describe the citizen participation process for this pro3ect.
Much of the focus and structure of the Resident Council and Crime Watch is (will be) based upon the information
and the needs residents have shared with service providers in the last two years. The highly successful block
party held last August in Sibley, was run largely by volunteers, and marked a turning point in citizen (resident)
participation. Many of those volunteers said they would like to have had similar events long ago. Even with
the general feeling of isolation within Sibley, there are many intelligent and skilled people eager to "create
a neighborhood". All they've been waiting for is leadership and for someone they saw as credible to tell them
their goals were (are) achievable. Social service agencies have been more than willing to help residents
achieve their gual(s) of designing and Council and a Watch. These agencies will step aside as leaders continue
to come forth from among the residentS.
Citizen particpation has thus far included:
°Two "focus groups" in which a cross section of residents met to discuss their "vision" for Sibley as a
neighborhood.
°Residents are spending many long hours designing a Watch and a Council.
°Residents have held one "community wide" public meeting and plan another for this summer.
°Residents are taking a survey door—to—door and have been getting useful information. For example,
so far over 100 people have expressed an interest in implementing a crime watch.

Neighborhood Partnership Program or the recycling of NPP funds
within the pro,ject? Yes No X If Yes, describe.
17. How does this proposal meet the intent and goals of the Neighborhood
Partnership Program•
A. Activities of the Resident Council and Crime Watch vill be specifically designed to promote
neighborhood self-reliance. The intent of residents to work in partnership with : Sibley
management/owners ; area businesses; the local community council ; community agencies , the City
and others, is very much in keeping with the intent and goals of NPP.
B. Both the Council and Watch vill help to meet the social needs of residents. Meeting to
address common issues and to plan neighborhood events will help to build a "sense of community"
in this apartment complex vhere few folks know each other.
C. Funds from NPP will help residents establish a structure with enough flexibilitr to address
program needs and neighborhood concerns as perceived by residents.
D. Providing funds for better neighborhood lighting and for periodic clean-up events, are in
keeping with NPP intent and goals.

10. What evidence is there that the above declarations are realistic?
(Business expansion and private development proposals must demonstrate
the probability of private lender support.)
Given the number of volunteers already involved in creating the Resident Council and
Crime Watch, and those who have expressed a strong interest through various means,
including a survey, the estimated volunteer hours are ambitious but quite achievable.
The bulk of the remaining donation(s) will be coming from Sibley Manor Management ahich,
. ae believe, is as it should be at this juncture. Having nearly a four-year-old relation-
ship with the owners/managers, we feel that, at this point, they are giving what they
can. (Please see attachment #4)
The West Seventh Community Center's primary service area, since its inception, has been
District 9 in St. Paul. Sibley Manor is located in District 15. We've developed a very
good cooperative relationship aith the Highland Area Community Council, but �ill need
time to develop relationships with area businesses. By the time this NPP Grant period is
over, we'll have established such relationships, knoa who is approachable, and have made
appropriate requests for funds. Attachment #3 demonstrates that only two of the items
we are seeking NPP funds for, a phone line and monthly newsletter, will be on-going
expenses. The other two, a "Safety Booklet" and Outdoor Lights, are "ane time" expenses.

Sibley Background and Evolution of On-Site Services
Sibley Manor Apartments �as built in �952, and is currently the largest , privately owned
apartment complex in St . Paul . It has 550 apartments. . .55 buildings �ith 10 units in each .
The population is currently estimated to be 1 ,400 persons , the bulk of �hom are low to
moderate income . It is a diverse community , called home by Whte , Black , Cambodian ,
Vietnamese, Hmong , Russian Je�s, Hispanics , and others. Factors , that over years, have
affected �aost every neighborhood, have had a dramatic effect upon Sibley. lhese include :
drug use/selling ; violence �ithin families; crime concerns ; economically disadvantaged , and
single parent families. In a large apartment complex , these things can often be much more
visible and intimidating to residents or potential renters . In the past four to five years ,
Sibley has developed a staggering a�nual turnover rate of 45�. This , added to the factors
above , has resulted in residents feeling isolated, vulnerable , unsafe , and unable to affect
their environment. This apartment complex has never functioned as a neighborhood. In
addition, most every neighborhood in St. Paul has easy access to its ovn community center ,
�ith a variety of services , even housing projects of similar or lesser size. St . Paul city
planners have made note in their "Data Profiles" of the fact that Sibley lacks such a
facility .
It has only been in the last decade that Sibley residents have had easily accessible human
services . In the early 80's : the Jewish Community Center began offering a chore service
for the elderly and �orking closely with Russian Je�ish immigrants ; the Highland Area
Community Council began a Block Nurse program; and the West Seventh Community Center began
seeing occassional clients for counseling and emergency assistance. The Community Center
has had a social worker visiting Sibley one afternoon per �eek since '87. In November '88,
a group calling itself the Sibley Manor Consortium formed, �ith members : Highland Area
Community Coucil , Je�ish Community Center ; West Seventh Community Center ; St. Paul Schools
Family and Consumer programs , Ramsey County Public Health Nursing; St. Luke 's Lutheran
Church ; and Edgcumbe Presbyterian Church. The group looked for funds for personnel and
office space in order to offer oore on—site services. The advice of many residents ras
sought as to �hat services they felt should be available tiithin the complex . In may '89,
Sibley Management gave the Consortium rent free use of a t�o—bedroom apartment to serve as
office space. In August '89, Sibley residents and others held the first community cele—
bration the neighborhood has ever had. ..a massive block party �ith over 300 attending.
During Fall '89� St. Paul Schools located funds to offer a few classes in Sibley . Residents
attended a e�eeting in early '90 to explore the possibility of forming a Resident Council
and Crime Watch. Ideas vere sought from many sources. They 've been meeting yeekly since
� late March for training and planning.
Enough funds �ere raised recently to permit the hiring of t�o full time persons to vork in
SibleY. first, an Outreach worker , yho �ill qreet an average of 20 "move—ins" per month ,
tell them of services available, offer counseling and emergency assistance , if needed, and
, serve as a "point of entry" for other agencies the household may vish to access . Second, a
� licensed Family and Consumer Educator, �ho'll offer a variety of homemaking and skill
► building classes.
�
� As the Resident Council and Crime Watch are established, the Consortium will dissolve ,
though the agencies will still operate their office and offer services to the neighborhood.
The Consortium's for�al advisory purposes �ill have been served. As requested, agencies
� vill rork in partnership.

Letter from Sibley Management
SIBLEY MANOR APARTMEN�'S .
1300 WEST MAYNARD DRIVE, SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55116
(612) 698-3818
May 15, 1990
Mr. Jim Zdon
Department of Planning and Economic Development
25 West Fourth Street
St. Paul , MN 55102
Dear Mr. Zdon:
This letter is an attempt to answer question(s) you raised with Tim LaFleur
regarding proposals he, and a number of tenants, are submitting to NPP and
to the Neighborhood Crime Prevention Grant Program. You were curious as to
why we do not, at present, have locks on entrance doors and better lighting
throughout the complex.
We cannot deny that Sibley Manor Apartments, Inc. is a profit-making corpor-
ation. We also understand that lights and locks are an important contribu-
tion to neighborhood security. We genuinely care about the welfare and
general well-being of our tenants, and many of them would be happy to attest
to this. At the same time, we find ourselves in a difficult position.
For the past few years, we have put nearly $100,000 annually back into Sibley.
We recently changed 52 unusable garage doors (at a cost of $15,000) , and spent
$63,000 replacing building entrance doors. We recently spent over $65,000 in
repairing roof drains and roofs, and making a large number of other miscellan-
eous repairs. Other improvements are planned. If we had the dollars on hand
right now to put in lights and locks, such as those suggested by Mr. LaFleur,
we'd likely do it. If we are to do this on our own, it may easily be a few
years.
For many years, the greater share of our tenants have been low-income, and
we've no immediate intention of changing that. As you' ll see on the attached
` ad, our rental prices are lower than most anywhere in the metro area! We're
i confident that it would be extremely hard for someone to find homes as nice,
� as well-kept, and as affordable as our apartments.
�.
For us to gather the dollars to make major improvements of the scale Mr.
4 LaFleur is suggesting, we would inevitably have to raise rents. We're
� attempting to do all we can to make necessary improvements to our buildings
� Nithout raising rents substantially. There has been no rent increase in
one and a half years, and there is none planned for the immediate future.
While we do not have money on hand to completely pay for lights and locks,
we've made it clear we're willing to sit down with residents and discuss
spending dollars we do have, on other things residents see as important.
After meeting with Mr. LaFleur earlier today, we commit ourselves to
providing the following:

appreciated.

How NPP Funds Wil1 Be Used if Received
1. Phone Line
When a phone was installed in the Sibley Community Services office last summer, wiring was put in for two lines.
However, agencies could not afford to activate more than one line. Since two full—time persons will soon be working
at this office, and since this office will soon be a center of operations for the Resident Council and Crime Watch,
a second line will be invaluable.
Cost = $25 activate.second line.
, _ $25 per month to keep line.
' Tota1= $$50
2. Newsletter
This will be a crucial tool for residents to communicate with each other regarding common concerns such as: Resident :
. _ ,
Council issues; Crime Watch activities; Human services and merchandise available nearby: ', Consortium agencies have ;
printed four:issues'since July 1989; and can afford to'put out: two�more issues. Writing, printing; and editorial T'
control of the newsletter would.be most appropriate for residents. �
�,� Approximate cost of monthly'newsletter
27 issues x $1�90 per during period covered
by Grant '_.$5,13p
3. Safety and Crime Prevention Booklet
While good materials are available, most are far too lengthy to be `useful. We hope to .use NPP funds'to produce a ,
booklet given to residents which would detail the function of .their ;Crime Watch and `Resident Council and provide.'; -'
tips and resources "for personal and neighborhood safety.
, ,,
Cost'= $3,500
4. lights
Residents have complained about poor lighting in.Sibley`;for.quite soroe time. � The yellou dots on the_attached map� '
indicate where city ;owned•street �lights are`now. Tim, lafleur o.f the�West Seventh`Community .Center met recently,with �
Mike Clausen.of Poblic Works, at�Sibl.ey to discuss `the� problem� Mr. Clausen acknowledged that,°the City lights�at -
present are merely 150 watt -incandescent. ` However, h�e.:stated that-these lights ar_e already scheduled to be"replaced ;
near the end.of the;summer of '91 with lights three to-:four times brighter.� ,This `.was welcome':news. ;. �At the same;>time;
the-bulk of- the lighting problem. is in large:areas` marked .on the map :by_ green dots � Mr:�Clausen examined:these��areas '

and recommended types of��'lighting. Mr. Lafleur. met with 'representatives of a local electric company: 7h�e_type��of
light that appears;most appropriate is`.a 400 watt_=sodium`light:

Important Note
We will soon be submitting a proposal to Tom Harvey with the Neighborhood Crime Prevention Grant Program. We'll
be asking for funds to purchase and install locks on all 55 buildings (each has two entrances) in Sibley. Cost -
for locks, keys, postal key box, fire key box, and labor will come to approximately $16,500. We feel our proposal
to �NPP is for items benefiting both Resident Council and Crime Watch and that locks ar.e primarily a crime prevention
concern. �If, we somehoW receive funds for .both:lights and locks; the countless hours. vol.unteers put into this
project/program will be dramatically more effective,

! 4. Project Description (continued)
� In recent years the number of housing projects developed for low
Iand moderate income households in St . Paul which include housi�
� coo eratives has been on the rise. Common Space is aware of ] 6
t housing developments providing 875 units of affordable co-op
, housing in St . Peul . 241 of these units have been cresied by
� nonprofit developers and neighborhood groups in inner city
neighborhoods . Another two co-op projects , totalling 82 units ,
Iare currently being developed by nonpi•ofit neighborhood
; developers. 552 co-op units are set aside for studenis and their
� families , the majority of whom are from foreign couritries and
, have low incomes . These housing developuuerits are located
; throughout St . Paul , but cluster in inner•-city neighLorhoods in
districts 5, 7 and 8. Attached a list of these co-ops .
� A model for the operation of this Fund is suggested by the Ciiy
� of Minneapolis ' Co-op Management Furid, a program administered by
� the MCDA since 1987 . Guidelines have been developed for the
� procedural administration of this pro�ram, a copy of whicl� is
� enclosed. Briefly, the program works as follows : eligible
recipients (cooperatives , nonprofii housing groups , etc. ) submit
, a grant request , up to s3000 , to the MCDA Prograu� Coordinator .
# The request must describe how the money will be used, tt�e
I benefits expected, and the costs involved. If the applicant is
} determined to be eligible and the request a permissible use, the
� grant is approved. Funds are disbursed by the Minneapolis/St .
� Paul Family Housing Fund. The MCDA Co-op Manageuvent Fund is
� fur�ded in equal amounts by that city ' s Comwunity Development
Block Grant program and the Minneapolis/St . Yaul Family Housing
Fund.
The Minneapolis program works well , providing a readily available
source of grant subsidy for groups needing training and related
support for their co-op operations . Grants are administei•ed on a
� noncompetitive basis ; if the applicant gcoup is eligible and tlie
` request falls under permitted uses, the grant is awarded.
� Eligible recipients can ct►oose the vendor of tt►eir choice to
� provide the services, thus enabling resident associations to
select the trainer or technical provider that best fits their
needs.
Comuoon Space would coordinate the establishment and ongoing
implementation ot the Fund by working in partnership with the
iCity' s PED department and the Minneapolis/St . Paul Fan�ily Housing
, Fund (FHF) . In its coordination role, Counu�on Space would develop
a set oY administrative guidelines of eligible recipients and
R uses , promote the use of ttie fund, and evaluate its impact . We
� propose the City receive and review Fund applications against
' these giiidelines . The FHF would approve it�e expenditures and
i disburse the grants . We have discussed tl�e need for this program
! with both Tom Fulton, director of FF�F, and PED staff Mary
� Tingerthal and Gary Peltier . All are receptive to the
establishment of such a fund and to playing supportive roles in
its administration. It is at the suggestion of City staff that
� Common Space makes application for funds to NPP.
