The city clerk attested to legal notices being duly published and mailed. CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 18, 2012 Page 4 Mr. Olson presented the proposed ordinance creating a Housing Improvement Area (HIA) for Niakwa Village Second Addition. The City received a formal petition requesting creation of the HIA, signed by 32 of the 52 owners. The current estimated costs for exterior improvements to Niakwa Village Second are not to exceed $524,900. Improvements are proposed to be financed by the Dakota County Community Development Agency and will be repaid by individual owners over no more than a 15 year period, with interest. The Homeowners Association is proposing to contribute $100,000 up front toward the project. By adopting this ordinance, the City would provide the mechanism for HIA financing to be utilized. The City is not proposing to invest public funds for the project. Mr. Olson explained that, in accordance with Minnesota Statute 428A, the City Council will conduct a second public hearing in August to present the fee proposed to be assessed to each unit. He presented an estimated improvement cost per unit based on financing terms of either 10 or 15 years and an interest rate not to exceed 6.75 %. As provided in the ordinance, the housing improvement fee shall be collected with ad valorem property taxes. Mayor Bellows invited questions and comments from the audience. Bruce Williams, 16177 Flagstaff Ct. S., stated he had not received the estimated costs that were presented this evening and asked for a copy of what had been provided to the City Council. Josh Walker, 16185 Flagstaff Ct. S., spoke on behalf of the Niakwa Village II Homeowners Association. He stated members of the board support the creation of a Housing Improvement Area in order to accomplish the necessary exterior improvements to their homes. He explained that the projected costs that were initially presented to the home owners did not include interest. He further explained that because the association does not own the property, it is difficult to secure a loan to finance the necessary improvements. Alan Rybak, 12260 - 175th St. W., spoke in support of the proposed exterior building improvements. Anita Tayson, 16125 Flagstaff Ct. N., serves on the homeowners association board and reiterated the need to replace the siding on these homes. Brett Domstrand, 16207 Flagstaff Ct. S., also spoke in support of the proposed exterior improvements and thanked the Council for considering this request. CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 18, 2012 Page 5 Chantel Szambelan, 16157 Flagstaff Ct. S., asked if costs for this type of home improvement are tax deductible. The City Attorney stated, to the best of his knowledge, they are not. Denise Ciola, 16203 Flagstaff Ct. S., asked about the fees. 12.47 Motion was made by Rieb, seconded by Swecker to close the public hearing. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous. Mr. Mielke asked if homeowners could pay a portion of the costs up front if they are unable to prepay the entire amount. Mr. Olson stated he would have that information prior to the next public hearing. Mr. Mielke stated that homeowners associations are in a difficult position to obtain financing for 52 homeowners. This law was created to assist in these types of situations. 12.48 Motion was made by Little, seconded by Swecker to adopt Ordinance No. 892 and Summary Ordinance No. 892 establishing the Niakwa Village Second Addition Housing Improvement Area pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 428A.1 1 to 428A.21. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous.
