OPTIONS FOR PROVIDING TRANSITIONAL HOUSING FOR HOMELESS DISCUSSED: LOCAL PROGRAM
TO BE CONSIDERED Planner Phil Dommer explained that as part of the McKinney Act,
which is federal legislation regarding the homeless, the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is seeking the assistance of suburban
communities to provide transitional housing for homeless people.
HUD has proposed to lease vacant FHA foreclosed homes to non-profit service
providers (SP). The City would identify one SP to work in the community. The SP
would place a tenant in the home and would provide job training and other
programming. The SP also would pay all taxes, maintenance and utility costs. The
SP must also bring the property up to code and make all necessary repairs. The. SP
could not collect rent from the tenant. After a maximum of 18 months the tenant
would move to permanent housing.

Advantages - Very little City involvement,

project. The sponsor would provide general support and conduct work days at the
home to make improvements. The family would pay 12.5% of their income to the SP
for services. The SP would be responsible for utilities, maintenance and repairs.
The family would p'ay 12.5% of their income into an escrow fund. After a minimum
of 18 months the home would be sold to the family in residence for a price equal
to the market value.

proceeds of the sale would be recycled to purchase another home and repeat the
process. Advantages' - Permanent ownership housing, improvement of problem
properties, would provide avenue for churches to invest in community, provide
stability to family and neighborhood, one time investment would house families and
rehab homes repeatedly, and would be minimum strain on non-profits. Disadvantages - Heavy City involvement, large one-time use of CDBG funds, and on-going program.
A local church would sponsor the family as an outreach

Motion for adoption of the resolution was seconded by Member Paulus.
Mayor Richards said he could not support the proposed program because he felt
there was a hidden cost in administering the program; that he felt the residents
would be intelligent enough to try to make their homes as energy efficient as
possible, and that government should not be involved. Planner Dommer explained
that funding for the program is really not government funding except for the
people's energy grant.
Company and they will fund the program in Edina or somewhere else, so indirectly
Edina residents are paying for it somehow.
Bruce Larson, West Hennepin Human Services, observed that in administering the
Energy Assistance Program they have received a number of calls for assistance from
people who are over the guidelines established by the federal government. In an
effort to look at alternatives and how to respond to those requests, they have
learned about this program which is a state requirement under what is called the
Conservation Improvement Program whereby public regulated utilities are required
to make a certain amount of investment in some conservation activities. Both

Assessor Ralph Johnson said that he would hope the schools would not find it
necessary to levy an extra 24.1% next year, that the County's levy increase of 13%
is probably not a fluke, and that the 5% levy increase of the City is fairly
typical in a time of 4-5% inflation. He added that he could not predict what will
happen next year and what the needs for the schools may be, having lost a lot of
their aids.
Member Smith suggested that Mr. Harrington be given a copy of the MLC's booklet
entitled "A Guide to Minnesota's New Property Tax System" which might be helpful
in understanding the tax system. He also pointed out that the state legislature
is the one that sets up our taxing system.
Manager Rosland commented that the City has been involved, and the Council has
dedicated moneys, in fighting the current taxing system whereby the metropolitan
suburbs pay a disproportionate share of the tax burden and will continue to do so.

CONCWNS EXPRESSED OVER SPRAYING IN PARKS Pam Nelson, 5520 Countryside Road,
expressed concerns for her children over the use by the City of the herbicide
2-4-D in spraying parks. She asked that the Council do the following'concerning
this controversial chemical: 1) Require large orange warning signs detailing any
chemicals used in the park/playground areas, 2) To ban the use of 2-4-D and those
pesticides which contain it, and 3) To instruct staff to convert the parks system
to a biological integrated pest management system.
Sally Mays, 5529 Countryside Road, said that, as a mother of two small children,
she was in support of Mrs. Nelson's proposal and emphasized that warning signs
should be posted whenever the parks are sprayed.
Park Director Bob Kojetin explained that, generally, for the past three years the
parks have been sprayed with a new type of chemical that does not contain 2-4-D.
'
Mayor Richards asked that staff bring back a report before the first spraying with
all the facts as to the present use of chemicals and with their recommendations-
for further consideration by the Council.

TRI-CITY HIV INFECTION COALITION ACTIVITIES APPROVED David Velde, CHS
Administrator, informed the Council that the Community Health Services Advisory
Committee had, at their meeting on March 22, 1989, adopted a recommendation.in
support of the Tri-City HIV Infection Coalition workplan and were now requesting
endorsement of the coalition’s activities by the City Council.
Velde presented the following background information.
CHS Administrator
In 1986 the Minnesota Commissioner of Health challenged all Community Health
Service (CHS) agencies to address the AIDS epidemic from a community perspective.
They were asked to develop a local response to this illness believing that a broad
based local response would be more effective in controlling the spread of the
disease.
In late 1987, the Minnesota Department of Health began proving HIV/AIDS training
for local CHS agencies. To date MDH has sponsored three sessions which provided
training for policy development and provided information about integrating
HIV/AIDS prevention activities into local programs.
In January 1988, the cities of Bloomington, Edina and Richfield formed a HIV Task
Force to study the HIV/AIDS issues affecting their communities.
began gathering information about what other agencies,have done regarding HIV in
the community and what resources are available in the communities.
recognized the need to develop support from city councils, school boards and other
elected and appointed officials. To this end the coalition sponsored an
information forum on February 11, 1989 for elected officials to provide them with
technically accurate information about HIV/AIDS.
The coalition is now preparing to expand the group by forming task forces to
address five issues: education, policy development, care and treatment, funding

FOR FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION
Manager Jim Prosser of the City of Richfield. He indicated that they were present
to speak to the request of Richfield and Bloomington for participation in a plan
to supplement and independently assess the information developed in the
Metropolitan Council Airport Adequacy Task Force Study and in the MAC ten year
plan concerning MSP airport expansion.
Mayor Richards introduced Mayor Steven Quam and

Mayor Quam explained that the cities of Richfield and Bloomington had asked the
City of Edina to participate in the study because they felt Edina had similar
interests in the economic benefits of keeping the airport at its present site.
said that the tone of the study is intended to be an effort to provide helpful
information that they feel has not been addressed as yet in the previous reports.
There has been no convincing data that the airport needs to leave our area, and if
it does have all the issues been studied that relate to the negatives as well as
the positives that would occur with a new site.

infrastructure that it would take to build new highways leading to a new airport
location, and the impact on the downtowns of the area.
the issues that will be addressed and is the tone and intent of the study. He
concluded by saying they would welcome and appreciate the participation of the
City of Edina.
Manager Prosser reiterated that the purpose of the proposed study is to examine a
number of issues which they feel was not addressed by the Metropolitan Council
Task Force which ultimately recommended a dual track approach for the MSP airport.
That dual track approach included: 1) Recommending construction of the north/south
runway roughly parallel to Cedar Avenue, and 2) That a task force be established
to examine on a regular basis the need for a new airport, including the
recommendation that a land bank be established for eventual relocation of the
airport.

of the Metropolitan Council to recommend that a new airport be constructed in the

Manager Prosser explained that the problem with the recommendations was that there
was never a real consideration of the environmental and economic impacts of either
of those recommendations. Those concerns expressed by Richfield and Bloomington
were also shared by members of the MAC.
strategies to address the information deficiencies that was not addressed by the
Metropolitan Council study. Manager Prosser said that what the City Councils of
Bloomington and Richfield were being asked to do is to bring in a group that will
examine the issues salient to both of these decisions. First, the experts would
be asked to take a specific look at the information that has already been provided
supporting the recommendations. Secondly, they would be asked to identify
information deficiencies and to correct those where possible in support of a
conclusion which addressed some specific points. Those include 1) Whether of not
there is a need, immediate or near term, with airport capacity and projecting out
into the longer term some of the capacity issues; 2) The capability of MSP to
accommodate any future traffic projections and to look at alternatives to
enhancing airport capacity; and 3) To take a look at the economic impact of
relocating the existing airport and the opportunities for economic growth that
would be affected by that airport.
The concept of constructing a new north/south runway also has to be looked at.
The FAA as well as MAC have said that is not a good alternative and will not
accommodate the type of traffic appropriate for that airport. In essence, the
recommendation to build the north/south runway with the fact that FAA and MAC both
agree that 1) it probably would not be built because of environmental concerns,
and 2) it would not provide enough capacity is almost a certain sentence of
obsolescence for the current airport.
