Passage of this motion will result in all aspects of the Niakwa Village II Housing Improvement Area (HIA) being administered by the Dakota County CDA. Overview In June of 2012, the City Council approved the creation of a HIA after receiving a formal petition requesting the creation of a HIA from the Niakwa Village II Homeowners Association. Petitions were signed by 62% of the owners in the association. Minnesota Statutes require a minimum of 51 % in order to consider the creation of HIA. The HIA was created as a way to finance the costs for exterior improvements that are the responsibility of the homeowners association. The improvements were proposed to be financed by the Dakota County CDA and were to be repaid by individual owners. The actual imposition of fees will require an additional hearing which has not yet been held. Since June of 2012, the Dakota County CDA has received legislative authority to create HIAs. After numerous discussions with representatives of the Niakwa Village II Homeowners Association and the CDA, it was determined that it would be preferred for the CDA to administer all aspects of this proposed HIA. Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance rescinding the previous City HIA Ordinance and approval of the HIA Agreement with the CDA. Primary Issues to Consider Will this action still result in the necessary exterior improvements being financed and completed? Yes it will.
