CITY COUNCIL OF TT� CITY OF SA1NT PAUL, MINNESOTA
REPORT TO Tf � CITY COIINCTI, DATE: October 6, 2004
REGARDING: PUBLIC HEARING - Resolution Reciting a Proposal for a
Financing Program for a Mulfi-Family Rental Housing Development,
Giving Preliminary Approval to the Project and Program Pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, 462C, Authorizing the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of
the City of Saint Paul to Issue Housing Revenue Bonds and Authorizing the
Preparafion of Necessary Docuxnents and Materials in Connection with the said
Project and Proa am.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Pau1(HRA) has received a request
from University Da1e Aparhnents Limited Partnership, a Minnesota limited partnership (the "
Borrower") comprised of Legacy Management and Development Corporation, Selby Area Community
Development Corporation and Aurora St. Anthony Community Development Corporation, requesting
the I�RA to issue up to $8,000,000, of Tax Exempt Multifamily Revenue Bonds ("Bonds") for the
purpose of constructing the University Dale Apartments, a 97 unit affordable rental housing project
("ProjecP') located in District 8.
The purpose of this report is to request the City Council to consider adopting the attached preliminary
(inducement) resolution which would approve the following:
Authorize City staff to prepare a Housing Program for financing the Project prepared in
accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, section 462C.03; and
2. Authorize the Executive Director of the I�RA to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with University Da1e Aparixnents Limited Partnership and to work towards possible
issuance of the Bonds. The MOU also stipulates the terms and conditions for issuance of the
Bonds should the HRA decide to issue the Bonds; and
Authorize HRA to issue up to $8,000,000 of taY exempt, multifamily rental revenue bonds for
the Project; and
4. Retain Briggs & Morgan as bond counsel for said Bonds and authorize them to assist in the
preparation and review of necessary documents relating to the Project and Housing Program
and consult with the HRA, City Attorney, Owner, and purchasers of the proposed Bonds.
A�proval of the inducement resolufion and execution of the Memorandum of Understandin¢
does_ not require or obligate the City or I1RA to issue bonds or cause any action against the City
or HRA arisin� from any failure or refusal by the Citv or HRA to apnrove the �roject or
issuance of the Bonds.
1
0'�. `�`�`�
With respect to multifamily housing bonds, Section 72.04 of Chapter 72 of the City's Administrative
Code provides that the HRA be designated to exercise on behalf of the City the powers confened by
Minnesota Statutes 462C (housing programs and revenue bonds) but only unless duected and
authorized to do so by resolution adopted by the City Council. Thus the reason, this proposai is
initiated before the City Council rather than the HRA.
PROJECT
The Project consists of a four story apartment buiiding containing 97 affardable rental housing units
built above the publicly owned Rondo Community Outreach Library. Amenities include: structured
pazking, elevator, laundry facility and common gathering space. The Project will comply with the
City's rental affordability requirement of 10% of the units affordable at 30% of inedian income and
10% of the units affordable at 50% of inedian income.
FINANCING
The Project will be funded by a combination of multifamily taY exempt bonds, federal Low Income
Housing Tax Credit Program (4%), Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Family Housing Fund and
Metropolitan Council. The tax credits are not from the City's annual allocation but are 4% credits
eligible for use with taat exempt bonds (the m�imusn rents must be affordable at no more than 60
percent of area median income.) The Department of Housing and Urban Development is processing an
application for HUD insurance to enhance the bonds.
The HRA will be asked to provide gap financing of approximately $3,091,651 from the sale of taa�able
bonds for the Scattered Site Tax Tncrement Financing District No1A and $900,000 of Community
Development Block Grant funds. The HRA's gap financing may be lessened if additional funds are
approved in October by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The Total Development Cost is
$14,281,65'7.

TIF Loan
This loan will come from the TIF Scattered Site bond proceeds. (The balance of the term of the Scattered
Site distrlct is 12 years. The annual payments of the district will amortize approximately $6.5 million in
bonds through the term.) The term of the'TiF Loan will be the same as the first mortgage term. The
project will be chazged a 1°lo simpie annual interest rate. Because the project cashflow cannot amortize
the TIF Loan, payments will come from the Scattered Site TTF District attributed to the amount payable
by the Housing Project during the 12 yeaz term. After the 12 yeaz term the remaining balance will be
deferred to the term of the first mortgage, sale, refinance or foreclosure.
CDBG Loan
The HRA cannot loan CDBG funds directly to a private developer for new construction but may grant
funds to a neighborhood nonprofit for their participation in the project. It is proposed that the I�ZA grant
$900,000 in CDBG fixnds to the Selby Area Community Development Corporation after which they
would loan the CDBG funds to the project. The Selby Azea CDC loan to the project would be for a term
of 40 years, at I% simple interest and subordinate to the bonds/first mortgage. The loan would be secured
by a note, mortgage, assignment of leases and rents and a UCC. The grant agreement between Selby Area
CDC and the HRA would require the assignment of the loan and collateral documents to the HRA after
the project has been occupied for one year. Selby Area CDC would be responsible for al1 elements of the
CDBG requirements, conshuction monitoring and any resolution of neighbarhood concerns during
construction and rent-up.
FEES
The non-refundable application fee of $5,000 was paid previously. Should the Bonds be issued, the FIRA
will receive an administrative fee at closing equal to Q.5% of the principal balance of the Bonds. On the
first anniversary date of the Bonds the IIRA will receive an additiona10.5% fee. Every year thereafter
that the Bonds remain outstanding the FIIZA will receive an annual administrative fee equal to 0.01% of
the outstanding principal balance of the Bonds.
BUSINESS PROFILE
Legacy Management & Development Corporation was founded in 1970 to develop quality housing for
specific segments of the community, i.e., seniors, families and handicapped individuals. Currently, they
have developed or manage more than 1,500 housing units in Minnesota. Housing units consist of
subsidized, tas credit and market rate, ranging from scattered site, to small and lazge aparhnent and
townhome communities. Legacy Management & Development Corporation is completing the Selby
Grotto project in partnership with the Selby Area CDC. Both the Selby Area CDC and the Aurara St.
Anthony CDC have extensive experience in providing home improvement and stabilization activities to
area residents.
SUPPORT
The project received support from the District 8 Planning Council.

PUBLIC PURPOSE
The following public purposes will be met:
1. Project will provide afFordable housing opporiunities for persons at 60%, 50% and 30% of
median incomes.
2. Project meets objectives of The Housing Plan, adopted as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan,
Section 6.0, Strategy 3: Ensure Availability of Affordable Housing.
BOND AUTHORITY; ALLOCATION PROCESS
For the past several years, the entitlement has been used for housing projects and mortgage revenue bonds
or mortgage credit certificates to finance the City's single family mortgage program. Because the
University Dale Apartments will be owned by a for-profit entity, the proposed bonds will count as part of
the City's entitlement bond canyover allocation from Year 2003 and part from the entitlement allocation
from Year 2004. However, staff believes that the single family mortgage program is amply funded for
2604. Therefore, issuance of rental revenue bonds would not diminish the City's single family mortgage
program.
Upon adoption of the inducement resolution staff will proceed to prepare a housing program to finance
the proposed project. Furthermore, staff will present to the fII2A a report detailing the financing of the
Project and request the HRA to consider adoption of a resolution to issue and sell revenue bonds to
finance the project.

MULTI-FAMII,Y" RENTAL HOUSING PROGRAM OF TF�
CTTY OF SAINT PAUL, MQ�NESOTA, AND THE
HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF
THE CTTY OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA
(University and Dale Housing Development)
October 6, 2004
Provosal; Authoritv. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Saint
Paul, Miimesota (the "HRA"), proposes to issue revenue bonds and to take other acfions in
furtherance of the objective of financing the acquisition, construction, and equipping of the
multi-family rental housing project described heiein (this "Progam") pursuant to applicable
authority conferred upon the HRA by the laws of the State of Minnesota, including without
1'unitation Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as the same may be amended from tvne to time
(collectively, the "AcY').
Purposes. In creating this Program, the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota (the °City"), and
FIIZA aze acting in fiutherance of their findings that the preservation of the quality of life in the
City is in part dependent upon the maintenance and provision of adequate, decent, safe, sanitary,
and affordable housing stock; that accomplishing the goals of this Program is a public purpose
and will benefit the residents of the City; that the need exists within the City to provide in a
timely fashion additional affordable rental housing to and for the benefit of persons residing and
eapected to reside within the City�, that there exist or are expected to exist persons within the City
who are and will be able to benefit from and are in need of the Program; that the Program is
necessary in view of the limited resources that may be available to such persons relative to the
expenses involved in accomplishing the type of objectives outlined in this Program in the
absence of one or more of the forms of assistance described herein or otherwise available
pursuaut to the Act; and that the City and HRA hereby find that such forms of assistance are
often necessary far the benefit of such persons, families, and goals and that, fiuthermore, the
successful unplzmentation of the objectives of the kind described in this Program has been found
to provide impetus for the development of other housing in the City, as well as the general
development of the City, by ofher persons who aze not the beneficiaries of such govemmentally
sponsored or assisted acfivities.
Rental HousinQ Purposes. More particularly, the City and HRA find that there exists a
need for mulrifamily rental housing, alone due to a variety of factors, including that the cost of
new conshuction of multi-family rental units may in many cases prove economically unfeasible,
given the high costs of construction and prevailing area rental levels, and that therefare
appropriate levels of public assistance may be helpful and necessary in bridging that gap.
General Description of the Prog�am. This Program consists of finaucing a portion of the
costs of the acquisifion, construction, and equipping of a mulfifamily rentai housing project
consisting of approximately 103 units of rental housing. The initial owner of the Project will be
University and Dale Aparhnents Limited Parinership, a Minnesota limited partnership (the
"Company
1685657v1
py_q��
The Project shall be designed to be affordabie by persons and families with adjusted
gross income not in excess of the limits set forth in secfion 462C.03, subdivision 2, and by other
persons and families to the extent determined to be necessary in furtherance of the policy of
economic integrafion stated in section 462A.02, subdivision 6, with at least 20 percent of the
dwelling units held for occupancy by families or individuals with adjusted gross income not in
excess of 80 percent of the median family income as estimated by the United States department
of housing and urban development for the standard metropolitan sta#istical azea.
Under federal law, at least 20 percent of the units must be occupied by persons or
families whose family incomes do not exceed 50 percent of azea median gross income or 40
percent of the units must be occupied by persons or families whose family incomes do not
exceed 60 percent of azea median gross income. The expected base monthly rents will be
approximately as follows:
Shl(�l0
C� .' 1
One Bedroom $367 - $855
Two Bedroom $420 - $1,130
Three Bedroom $464 - $1,275
Location. This Program is limited to the Project. The Project is located in the southwest
corner of University and Dale in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Revenue Bonds. The amount of revenue bonds to be issued by the HRA required to
finance this Program is approximately $8,000,000. The proceeds will finance a portion of the
costs of the acquisition, construction, and equipping of the Project and pay costs of issuing the
bonds, and may be used to establish a reserve.
The Project will be operated as a multifamily rental housing development within the
meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Secrion 462C.02, Subd. 5. The Bonds may be shuctured so as to
take advantage of whatever means are auailable or necessary and are permitted by law to
znhance the security fox and marketability of the Bonds. Substantially all of the net proceeds of
the Bonds (the initial principal amount thereof, less any amounts deposited in a reasonably
required reserve or paid out as costs of issuance of the Bonds) will be used to pay the costs of the
Project, including any functionally related and subordinate facilities.
The HRA has adequate existing capacity to admiiuster, monitor and supervise the Project
in order to insure that the Project will be consistent with the HRA's Housing Plan. The Company
will construct the Project in compliance with all applicable development restrictions, and all new
construction and rehabilitarion of the existing buildings is subject to applicable state and local
building codes. The Company will be required to operate the Project in accordance with state
and local anti-disciimination laws and ardinances.
The costs of the Project and the Program undertaken to finance the Project, including
specificaliy the costs to the HRA, wiil be paid or reimbursed by the Company.

Housine Plan. The City and HRA hereby adopt the Comprehensive Housing Pian of the
City of Saint Paul as the housing plan relating to the Project.
Monitorine. The Program will be monitored by the HRA. The HRA expects to enter into
or continue suitable agreements with necessary parties to ensure consistent compliance with the
objectives of this Program, as well as with the requirements of applicabie law.
