CITY COUNCII OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNGIL
DATE: August 22, 2007
REGARDING: Authorization to Accept State Planning Grant in the Amount of $400,000
to be used for Pre-Design and Design Work to be undertaken by the
Asian Pacific Cultural Center in connection with Renovation of a portion
of the Hamm's Site on the south side of Minnehaha, Dayton's Bluff
District 4
Background
The HRA acquired almost 9 acres of the former Hamm's Brewery, with 17 buildings, in
August of 2003. It authorized and accepted a reuse study in September of 2004. The City
approved support for a$40D,000 State Bonding request for the Asian Pacific Cultural Center,
which was subsequently approved. HRA approved tentative developer status for APCC for a
tweive (12) month period on January 24, 2007 to allow more in-depth study on the feasibility
of the APCC proposal for the site.
Budget Action
The State award of $400,000 requires that the total match be set aside at the time of
execution of the Grant Agreement between the City and State. APCC and the State
acknowledge that the budget is divided down into two phases, pre-design ($160,607) and
design ($935,154). APCC and the State are aware that the design phase would not proceed
until State bonding is authorized for the project (to be consider in 2008 bonding session).
Even with this understanding, the State is requiring that a match be set aside for the entire
amount. APCC has raised funds for the pre-design work from foundations (General Milis,
Travelers, St. Paul Foundation, Bigelow, etc.). The foundations only release their grant funds
based on costs incurred and the State matching funds. HRA and the City had set aside
$800,000 in CDBG funds to address environmental, demolition, planning and property
management issues on the Hamm's site. APCC is requesting that $400,000 of these funds
be set aside in order to use the State Grant. However, these funds will not be drawn down
on. At the time of disbursements against the pre-design work, APCC will pay for'/z of costs
to be matched by the State funds. The set-aside wiil then reduced by that amount and
those funds will go back into the CDBG Hamm's account.
Financing Structure
The City/HRA will enter into a Grant Agreement with the State of Minnesota accepting the
$400,000 planning grant. Disbursements will be made on a 50-50 match between State
Funds and APCC funds. APCC will be the entity entering into the contract with the
architectural firm and the responsible party for payment which will be fully detailed in the
Agreement between APCC and HRAlCity.
0 7-7� 7
Compliance
APCC has been made fully aware of afl the City's compliance requirements and has signed
the acknowledging receipt of the informational packet, as part of the terms and conditions of
the tentative developer designation. The packet included A�rmative Action, Vendor
Outreach, Apprenticeship Program, Davis Bacon, Living Wage, Business Subsidy and HRA's
Green Initiative.
Public Purpose
• Enhance economic impact on the community.
• Create development that connects, rather than divides, the community.
• Stimufate private investment and reinvestment in this underutilized section of the City.
• Protect and build on the City's major investment in the area.
