Home Mortgage Program Since recent memory, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) has made its Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP) available a) to local governments as a way to access mortgage revenue bond resources for first time home.buyers. In the very near future, MHFA is expected to create a pool of mortgage revenue bonds in the range of$38 to $58 million for this program. Through MCPP, MHFA sells these bonds on behalf of cities. The proceeds of the bonds provide below market interest rate home mortgage loans for low- and moderate- income home buyers that are entering the market for the first time Applications for the 1996 program are due to MHFA beginning on February 1 and ending on February 15, 1996. As with previous programs, a qualifying income and a maximum purchase price guideline will apply. For 1996, the MCPP in Elk River will allow applicants with an adjusted gross income of$40,800 to qualify for this financing program. Please note that the adjusted gross income is calculated by taking the household's gross annual income and subtracting $1,000 per household resident. With that, a family of four c'elai have a gross income of$44,800 and qualify for the MCPP. The maximum purchase price of each housing unit acquired through the MCPP in Elk River is $95,000 (both new construction and existing housing stock). Single family detached homes, townhomes, condominiums, and duplexes (existing only) are eligible housing units under the MCPP. Mobile homes, recreational, or investment properties, etc., are not eligible for this program. P.O..Box 490 • 13065 Orono Parkway • Elk River, MN 55330-1743 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 Equal Opportunity Housing and Equal Opportunity Employment 41") In 1995, MHFA introduced a population-based allocation formula for its MCPP. As a result, the Elk River HRA was allocated approximately $256,500 in mortgage funds. A similar allocation can be expected for 1996. The Elk River MCPP includes five lenders to help originate home requests from first time home buyers: First National Mortgage, Heigl Mortgage, Norwest Mortgage, Inc., TCF Mortgage, and FBS Mortgage Corporation. All lenders have a presence in Elk River as TCF opened an interim office at 200 5th Street NW while its permanent facility in Elk Park Center is under construction, and First Bank, N.A. has an office at 631 Main Street. The HRA's only out-of-pocket costs are that of a modest fee to help the Department of Finance cover the costs associated with processing the housing pool allotment requests. A fee in the amount of$20 per $100,000 in allotment is required. For a $250,000 allotment, the processing fee is$60. This fee is not due with the submission of the application,but must be remitted with the allocation agreement which finalizes each city's 1996 allocation. A separate 1 percent application - deposit must also be returned with the allocation agreement. However, the deposit is fully refunded, approximately one month after MHFA's bond sale. The Elk River MCPP application is included in the agenda packet. Such things as the eligible organization (which is the HRA), originating lenders, program specifics, and new construction requirements, etc., are outlined in the application. There is no effort to target specific population groups, housing stocks, or exclusive "set= aside" arrangements with specific builders, developers, or realtors. Action Requested a: The HRA is asked to authorize an application to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency for a "maximum allowable" allocation of its Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP) funds for first time home buyer mortgages: b. The HRA is asked to designate five lenders for its 1996 MCPP mortgage program: - First National Mortgage - Heigl Mortgage • - Norwest Mortgage, Inc. - TCF Mortgage - First Bank, N.A. ELK RIVER HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY II January 9, 1996 , To: Riverfront Corridor Committee Interested Parties Re: ISTEA Application Update Thank you for your continued support and interest concerning the Mississippi Riverfront Pathway Project. By virtue of the January 3, Riverfront Workshop, this project is taking on a distinctive set of historic components. The project is now entitled, The Elk River Interpretive Trail and will be positioned as an interpretive river walk depicting the historical transportation systems of early pioneer trade, and, how those systems came together to create the settlement of Elk River. This information is more thoroughly outlined in a January 3 memo from Bruce Chamberlain of Hoisington Koegler Group,Inc. A second enclosure provides an overview of the project context and related project description. II/ Please note that Mr. Chamberlain has identified ISTEA eligible expenditures totaling $261,000. The design and administration costs drive this total to $318,000. By way of action at the January 8 City Council meeting, Elk River will apply for ISTEA funds in the amount of$198,000 (or 76% of the eligible project costs). By adopting the resolution of support which will accompany the ISTEA application, the City of Elk River has committed $120,000 for the balance of the ISTEA project costs. No action was taken on how to finance the remaining portion of the project not covered by the ISTEA funds and related non-federal share, etc. This will likely be left up to the City Council once the fate of the ISTEA application has been determined. An unsuccessful ISTEA Grant request does not .)' necessarily spell the end to this project. However, it requires additional analysis of the project and a determination as to how to best identify other sources of funds. Mr. Chamberlain expects that the City of Elk River will receive preliminary notification on the ISTEA Grant by March or April. Additional information will be passed along on a timely basis. It may also be necessary to participate in an informal workshop with the City Council. This workshop is . • intended to rebuild momentum and support for the Interpretive Trail Project. P.O.

The Riverfront Corridor Committee will • certainly be invited to participate in this workshop. _ A v, . s:eda/hra/rvrfrtco • .o - - - - - rn rn Y .—. ::::::i.:..........::;;:i'g N CD 0 C., 0 C> kr) 0 CD 0 ....,. 0 v> O O '� 00 O O N M O N : 20 t— 00 M o 00 N _- o.' 00 0 00 U v, .•.•.t..1 M O - N N M - N .-.
