ITEM #2 ITEM DISCUSSION
a. Discuss 4d(1) tax classification impacts and possible policy.
Acting Chair Hanson introduced Assistant Community Development Director Urban. Assistant Community
Development Director Urban presented an overview of the 4d(1) property tax classification, including
eligibility requirements, impacts on the Minnesota property tax system, and how the program can support
affordable housing preservation. She explained the Minnesota property tax system and demonstrated the
potential tax impact of 4d(1) status, noting it provides tax savings to property owners while shifting tax
capacity to other taxpayers. Assistant Community Development Director Urban reviewed examples of how
the tool could support preservation of Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH), current impacts of
4d(1) status in Richfield, and potential broader impacts if applied to additional properties. Assistant
Community Development Director Urban also compared the use of 4d(1) classification and Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) through hypothetical development scenarios, highlighting trade-offs between affordability
and long-term tax revenue.
Council and HRA members discussed priorities, administrative considerations, taxpayer impacts, TIF
versus 4d(1) in supporting affordable housing, and limiting expanded use of 4d(1) due to potential tax
burden and service cost concerns.
Staff were provided direction and will follow up with additional information and questions for Council
consideration.

Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting 3/16/2026
Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item: 7.a.
Report Prepared By:
Julie Urban, Assistant Community Development Director
Department Director:
Melissa Poehlman, Community Development Director
Item for Consideration:
Consideration of an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with
VEAP to provide an additional $50,000 in Local Affordable Housing Aid funding
for emergency rental assistance and the related navigation and servicing of the
program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On January 20, 2026, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) approved a
Professional Services Agreement with VEAP to provide emergency rental assistance to
renter households earning no more than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The
HRA committed $50,000 in Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) to VEAP, $7,500 of
which could be used for the navigation and support services needed to provide the
assistance.
VEAP has seen an increase in the need for rental assistance related to Operation Metro
Surge and, as of March 3, had spent $36,115.41 of the funds on rental assistance for 15
households as well as the $7,500 allocated for navigation and support. VEAP is seeking
an additional $50,000 in funding to continue providing assistance. With the funds
remaining from the original Agreement and the additional funds, VEAP will likely serve
an additional 18–22 households.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Approve an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with
VEAP to provide an additional $50,000 in Local Affordable Housing Aid funding
for emergency rental assistance and the related navigation and servicing of the
program.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT
On January 20, 2026, the HRA approved a contract with VEAP to provide emergency
rental assistance to Richfield residents and as of March 3rd, VEAP had expended 88%
of the funds. Given the increased demand for rental assistance due to the Operation
Metro Surge, VEAP is requesting an additional $50,000 to continue to address the
significant need for assistance.
EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
• Providing temporary rental assistance to households with low incomes provides
housing stability and helps to maintain Richfield as an affordable place to live.
Page 10 of 83
[PAGE 11]
• A significant percentage of Richfield renters are households of color, and
ensuring housing stability reduces racial inequities and helps all residents to
thrive. Typically, 47% of the households VEAP assists are Latine and from other
immigrant communities.
POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
• LAHA is funding collected through a metro-area sales tax and allocated to cities,
counties and Tribal Nations to develop and preserve affordable housing. Eligible
uses for the funds include emergency rental assistance, financial support to non-
profit housing providers, financing for the construction and rehabilitation of
affordable housing, and funding for housing supportive services. Richfield
received a total of $877,465.49 in LAHA in 2024 and 2025.
• Funds can be spent on rental housing serving households earning up to 80% of
the AMI; however, priority is to be given to households earning less than 50% of
the AMI.
CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• Execution of an amendment to the Agreement will allow VEAP to continue
serving Richfield residents with emergency rental assistance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
• The HRA has spent approximately $185,000 in LAHA to-date, has committed an
additional $450,000 to existing and potential new program(s) in the 2026 budget
(including the original $50,000), leaving approximately $242,000 in LAHA funds
available to commit. Additional funds are expected in 2026.
• The Amendment would provide an additional $50,000 in LAHA funds to VEAP
with $5,000 for navigation and support services.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Emergency rental assistance and "navigation and services" related to providing
that assistance are eligible uses of LAHA funds.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S)
1. Decide not to award an additional $50,000 to VEAP for emergency rental
assistance.
2. Decide to award a different amount of funding to VEAP.

AMENDMENT TO PROFFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Amendment to Professional Services Agreement (the “Amendment”) is entered into
on this ____ day of ___________, 2026, by and between the HOUSING AND
REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY OF RICHFIELD,
MINNESOTA, a body politic and corporate under the laws of the State of Minnesota ("HRA"),
and VEAP, INC., a Minnesota nonprofit corporation ("Contractor"). The Original Agreement, as
amended by this Amendment is referred to herein as the “Agreement,”
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Original Agreement approved by the HRA on the 20th day of
January, 2026, the HRA agreed to provide $50,000 in assistance to the Contractor for emergency
rental assistance to individuals as provided under Minn. Stat. 477A.35, subd. 4(a)(1) and for the
cost of navigation and supports; and
WHEREAS, as of March 3, 2026, the Contractor has expended $36,115.41 to provide
limited emergency rent assistance and $7,500 in navigation and supports to help maintain
housing stability and prevent homelessness to 15 households;
WHEREAS, the Contractor is seeing additional need for the assistance and is therefore
requesting an additional $45,000 to continue providing assistance to individuals and an
additional $5,000 for navigation and supports for total additional funds in the amount of $50,000;
WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Agreement as hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein,
parties do hereby agree that the Agreement is amended as follows:
1. Amendment to Item 1: FUNDS. The amount of the payment is increased $50,000 for a
total payment not to exceed $100,000.
2. Amendment to Item 2: ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA. Twelve and-a-half percent of the total
Funds (up to $12,500) may be used for the navigation and servicing of this program.
3. Confirmation of Agreement. Except as specifically amended herein, the Agreement is
hereby ratified and confirmed and remains in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment by its duly
authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting 3/16/2026
Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item: 7.b.
Report Prepared By:
Julie Urban, Assistant Community Development Director
Department Director:
Melissa Poehlman, Community Development Director
Item for Consideration:
Consideration of amended and restated Local Housing Incentive Account
Subgrant Agreements with Home Source, Inc. and Woodlawn Terrace
Cooperative adjusting the funding amounts, outcomes, and deadline for the
creation of new affordable housing opportunities in Woodlawn Terrace.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2023, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority received a $192,000 Local Housing
Incentives Account (LHIA) grant on behalf of Woodlawn Terrace Cooperative (7421
Lyndale Avenue) to create new housing opportunities within the community. Woodlawn
Terrace Cooperative (WTC) works in cooperation with Home Source, Inc. (Home
Source) to bring in new, two and three-bedroom units into the community, and the grant
provides funding to fill the affordability gap and make the three-bedroom units affordable
to households earning no more than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
The grant covers WTC's costs to demolish abandoned units and prepare lots for new
homes (e.g., tree removal, crowning the lot, upgrading utilities). Additional funds are
paid to Home Source to reduce the price of the unit to an amount affordable to an
income-qualified buyer (affordability gap). Subgrantee Agreements (Agreements) were
executed with both entities in 2024 and since then, actual costs have been refined,
which necessitates adjusting the dollar amounts in each Agreement. The amended and
restated Agreements make the following adjustments:
• WTC is eligible for up to $28,250 in grant funds (down from $120,750);
• Home Source is eligible for up to $168,750 (up from $71,250);
• A minimum of three, three-bedroom units must be sold affordably under the grant
and up to four additional two and/or three-bedroom units could be sold affordably
as funds allow; and
• The grant deadline is extended to December 31, 2026.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Approve the amended and restated Local Housing Incentive Account
Subgrant Agreements with Home Source, Inc. and Woodlawn Terrace
Cooperative adjusting funding amounts and outcomes and extending the
deadline for use of the funds; and authorizing the Chair and Executive Director to
execute the Agreements.
Page 14 of 83
[PAGE 15]
HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Residents of the Woodlawn Terrace manufactured home community formed a
cooperative and purchased the community in 2021. The Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) has provided funds to the community for utility upgrades, rehabilitation
of permanent structures, and applied for LHIA funds on WTC's behalf to bring in new
units to the community and make them affordable to income-qualified buyers.
EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
• The HRA's support of WTC preserves existing and creates new affordable
housing, consistent with the Strategic Plan goal to maintain Richfield as an
affordable place to live.
• Home Source and WTC have successfully marketed the program to communities
that have historically faced barriers to accessing the homeownership market.
POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
The HRA is required to be in compliance with the LHIA Program guidelines. The
Agreements ensure that any Subgrantee the HRA gives funds to is also in compliance
with the guidelines.
CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
• Home Source has sold two homes using the grant. The funding amounts in the
Agreements need to be adjusted before any additional homes can be sold under
the program.
• The amended and restated Agreements extend the deadline for spending the
grant to December 31, 2026. That extension has been approved by the
Metropolitan Council.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
• Of the $192,000 grant awarded to the HRA, a total of $111,250 remains to be
spent ($16,250 for WTC and $95,000 for Home Source).
• WTC was able to obtain additional grant funding for lot preparation expenses and
does not need the original funding amount, which frees up funding to support
additional affordable units.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
• The Agreements were prepared by the HRA Attorney.
• Both Subgrantees are subject to the requirements of the LHIA grant.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S)
Decide not to amend the Agreements.

AMENDED AND RESTATED SUB-GRANT AGREEMENT
(Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Act Grant – Local Housing Incentives Account – Affordable
Homeownership Grant Program)
THIS SUB-GRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of this ___ day of
_____________, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), between the HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA, a public body corporate and
politic of the State of Minnesota (the “Grantee”), and WOODLAWN TERRACE COOPERATIVE, a
Minnesota nonprofit cooperative (the “Sub-Grantee”).
WHEREAS, the Grantee and Metropolitan Council entered into the Metropolitan Livable Communities
Act Grant Agreement, effective as of January 25, 2023 (the “Grant Agreement”), a copy of which is attached
hereto as EXHIBIT A and is incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Grant Agreement provides that Metropolitan Council is to grant to the Grantee a sum not
to exceed $192,000, a portion of which funds in the amount of up to $28,250 shall be used to reimburse the
Sub-Grantee for tree removal, lot crowning, and demolition costs incurred in preparation for the creation
of at least three new three-bedroom housing units and up to an additional four two- and/or three-bedroom
units to be sold to households with incomes of no more than eighty percent (80%) of the area median income
(the “Project”) on the property legally described in EXHIBIT B attached hereto (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the remainder of the funds derived from the Grant in the amount of up to $163,750 will be
provided to Home Source Inc., a Minnesota corporation, pursuant to a separate Sub-Grant Agreement to
reimburse Home Source Inc. for site preparation hard costs, including lot prep, utility connections, and
other related costs; and
WHEREAS, the Grantee and the Sub-Grantee have agreed for the Sub-Grantee to assume certain duties
and responsibilities of the Grantee under the Grant Agreement in consideration of receiving funds provided
for in the Grant Agreement and subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises set forth herein, the
parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. Grant Funds. The Grantee will distribute funds received under the Grant Agreement upon
the continuing compliance by the Sub-Grantee with its obligations hereunder. The Sub-Grantee shall use
the grant proceeds which are being provided by the Grantee under this Agreement solely for the Project, as
further specified within the Livable Communities Project Summary (attached to the Grant Agreement). The
grant proceeds shall not be used for any ineligible uses as described in the Grant Agreement. The
Sub-Grantee understands and agrees that any reduction or termination of Local Housing Incentives Account
funds made available to Metropolitan Council from the Local Housing Incentives Account of the
Metropolitan Livable Communities Fund may result in a like reduction in the amount of the grant proceeds
that will be made available to the Sub-Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 2.08 of the
Grant Agreement, the parties agree that none of the grant funds may be made available to any subgrantee
or subrecipient without the prior written consent of Metropolitan Council.
2. Grantee’s Obligations. The Grantee will be responsible for reimbursing the Sub-Grantee
for the costs of tree removal, crowning, and demolition (the “Activities”) up to a total amount not to exceed
$28,250, which will be funded from the grant proceeds received from Metropolitan Council. The Grantee
will disburse funds to the Sub-Grantee pursuant to this Agreement and the Grant Agreement, based upon
reimbursement requests submitted by the Sub-Grantee and reviewed and approved by the Grantee and
Metropolitan Council. Reimbursement requests must be accompanied by all information and
Page 17 of 83
[PAGE 18]
documentation needed by the Grantee pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Grant Agreement to submit a payment
request form to Metropolitan Council. In order to ensure that all funds are drawn prior to the expiration of
the grant, all payment requests must be received by the Grantee at least 60 days prior to the grant-term
amended expiration date of December 31, 2026, unless extended by the Grantee in writing, otherwise any
unrequested funds will be lost. The Grantee shall have no obligation to disburse any of these funds if, at
the time of disbursement, the Sub-Grantee is in default under any of the terms of this Agreement.
3. Sub-Grantee’s Obligations. The Sub-Grantee shall perform and satisfy certain obligations
of the Grantee under the Grant Agreement. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, the Sub-Grantee
must perform all the following with respect to the Activities and in satisfaction of the Grant Agreement
obligations:
a. The Sub-Grantee will be responsible for performing all of the activities on the Property set
forth in the Livable Communities Project Summary that is attached to the Grant Agreement
(the “Activities”). All Activities provided by the Sub-Grantee under this Agreement must
be performed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Grantee and Metropolitan Council and
in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, and
regulations. The Sub-Grantee will not receive payment for Activities found by the Grantee
or Metropolitan Council to be reasonably unsatisfactory or performed in violation of
federal, state, or local law.
b. The Sub-Grantee will comply with all requirements and conditions of the Grant Agreement
applicable to the Activities that, by their nature, must be performed by Sub-Grantee rather
than Grantee and that are conditions of award of funds under the Grant Agreement.
c. The Sub-Grantee must take all other actions as are needed to ensure compliance with the
Grant Agreement and provide such information and assistance to the Grantee as may
reasonably be needed to ensure the Grantee can comply with the requirements of the Grant
Agreement that, by their nature, must be performed by the Grantee rather than the
Sub-Grantee.
d. In order to permit the Grantee and Metropolitan Council to monitor compliance with this
Agreement, the Sub-Grantee shall permit any person that the Grantee or Metropolitan
Council designates, at the expense of the Grantee or Metropolitan Council, to visit and
inspect the Property, corporate books and financial records and documents of the
Sub-Grantee as relevant to receipt and expenditure of the grant funds or this Agreement
and to discuss its affairs, finances, and accounts (as they relate to receipt and expenditure
of the grant funds or this Agreement) with the principal officers of Sub-Grantee, all at such
reasonable times and as often as the Grantee or Metropolitan Council may reasonably
request during the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6) years after the
termination of this Agreement.
e. The Sub-Grantee will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard
to public assistance, membership or activity in a local civil rights commission, disability,
sexual orientation or age and will take affirmative action to insure applicants and
employees are treated equally with respect to all aspects of employment, rates of pay and
other forms of compensation, and selection for training.

Page 18 of 83
[PAGE 19]
f. If the Sub-Grantee earns any interest or other income from the grant funds received from
the Grantee under this Agreement, the Sub-Grantee must use the interest earnings or
income only for the purposes of implementing the Activities.
g. Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Grant Agreement, because the Project includes affordable
housing units, the Grantee is required to ensure that said housing units will remain
“affordable,” as that term is defined in the Grant Agreement, for a minimum period of
fifteen (15) years. Said obligation may be satisfied if other Project funding sources require
an affordability term of at least fifteen (15) years. If at any point it is determined that the
Sub-Grantee is not participating in said program or in another state or federal program that
will ensure such affordability for the period required via formal instrument, or if there is
any other reason to believe that there are no instruments in place to ensure the same, as
required in the Grant Agreement, the Sub-Grantee agrees that it will execute any
instruments to ensure such affordability, in a form that meets the Grantee’s satisfaction. A
failure to adhere to this subsection may result , at Grantee’s request, in the Sub-Grantee
being required to pay back grant funds received pursuant to this Agreement.
h. Pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Grant Agreement, the Sub-Grantee agrees and
acknowledges that it, as the Project owner, must adopt and implement an affirmative fair
housing marketing plan for all housing units within the Project. To that end, the Sub-
Grantee agrees that before it will be eligible for any grant funds under the terms of this
Agreement, it shall adopt and implement such a plan, which shall substantially conform to
affirmative fair housing marketing plans published by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (“HUD”) or sample affirmative fair housing marketing plans
published by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. Such plan shall be made available
to Grantee upon its request. A failure to adhere to this subsection may result, at the
Grantee’s request, in the Sub-Grantee being required to pay back grant funds received
pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Ownership and Condition of the Property. The Sub-Grantee makes the following
representations:
a. It is the owner of the Property in fee simple.
b. To the best of the Sub-Grantee’s knowledge, the Property does not violate any applicable
federal, state, or local law, ordinance, or regulation.

of the Sub-Grantee threatened, against or affecting it or the Property, and the Sub-Grantee

or any governmental authority.
d. The consummation of this transaction and performance of the Sub-Grantee’s obligations
under this Agreement will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under any
mortgage, deed of trust, lease, bank loan, or credit agreement, partnership agreement, or
other instrument which affects the Sub-Grantee, or to which the Sub-Grantee is a party.
e. It has not used the Property in connection with the generation, disposal, storage, treatment,
or transportation of hazardous substances and that the Property will not be so used during
the term of this Agreement by the Sub-Grantee, its agents, tenants, or assigns, except in

purchase and maintain such insurance, as will protect it from claims which may

liable.
ii. For the term of this Agreement and in connection with the Activities completed

[PAGE 22]
United States Code Title 42, Sections 6901 et seq. This obligation shall not be construed
to negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any other right or obligation of indemnity which
otherwise would survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. This
indemnification shall not be construed as a waiver on the part of either the Grantee or
Metropolitan Council of any immunities or limits on liability provided by Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 466 or other applicable state or federal law.
c. Promptly pay and discharge all taxes, assessments, and other governmental charges
imposed upon it or upon its income and profits or upon the Property, and any and all claims

the Sub-Grantee shall not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or claim, if
the Sub-Grantee is contesting the validity of such matters, in good faith, through
appropriate proceedings, and the Sub-Grantee sets aside on its books adequate reserves for
the payment of such claims.

completion of the Activities for six (6) years following the expenditure of the grant funds,
whichever occurs earlier. Accounting methods shall be in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
f. The accounts and records of the Sub-Grantee shall be audited in the same manner as all
other accounts and records of the Sub-Grantee are audited and may be audited or inspected
on the Sub-Grantee’s premises or otherwise by individuals or organizations designated and
authorized by the Grantee or Metropolitan Council at any time, following reasonable
notification to the Sub-Grantee, for a period of six (6) years following the completion of
the Activities or six (6) years following the expenditure of the grant funds, whichever
occurs earlier. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 16C.05, subdivision 5, the books,
records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices of the Sub-Grantee that are
relevant to this Agreement are subject to examination by the Grantee and Metropolitan
Council and either the Legislative Auditor or the State Auditor, as appropriate, for a

h. Construct the Project to meet all applicable local codes, rehabilitation standards,
ordinances, and zoning regulations. The Grantee and Metropolitan Council assume no
responsibility for obtaining any applicable local, state, or federal licenses, permits, bonds,

Until the Activities are completed, the Sub-Grantee must ensure the above
acknowledgment language, or alternative language approved by the authorized agent of
Metropolitan Council, is included on all signs (if any) located on the Property or
construction sites. The acknowledgments and signage should refer to “Metropolitan
Council” (not “Met Council” or “Metro Council”).
j. Provide the Grantee with all information that is needed by the Grantee to submit the
required written progress reports and annual written reports required by Section 4.03 of the

Development Response Action Plan and the Sub-Grantee and its tenants may use, store,
and transport hazardous substances on, over or across the Property as is reasonably
necessary to the use of the Property as residential, commercial, or office property provided
such use, storage, and transportation complies at all times with all applicable federal, state,
and local statutes, codes, regulations, and ordinances.

covenants under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent
breach of this Agreement, or any other obligation, agreement, or covenant. The Grantee’s
forbearance in pursuing or enforcing a remedy for the Sub-Grantee’s breach of any of the
obligations set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of the Grantee’s rights

9. MGDPA. All data collected, created, received, maintained or disseminated for any purpose
in the course of the Sub-Grantee’s performance of this Agreement is governed by the Minnesota
Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13, and any other applicable state statutes, any
state rules adopted to implement the Act and statutes, as well as federal statutes and regulations on data
privacy.
10. Copyrights. The Sub-Grantee certifies that it (a) is the owner of any renderings, images,
perspectives, sections, diagrams, photographs or other copyrightable materials (collectively “copyrightable
materials”) that are in the grant application or submitted to the Grantee as part of the grant application
process or that the Sub-Grantee is fully authorized to grant permissions regarding the copyrightable
materials; and (b) the copyrightable materials do not infringe upon the copyrights of others. The
Sub-Grantee agrees that the Grantee and Metropolitan Council have a non-exclusive royalty-free license

any “business subsidy” requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995, that apply to
the Sub-Grantee’s expenditures or uses of the grant funds. The grant will be used for the creation of

Section 3(g) and (h) hereof shall survive any such expiration. This Agreement may be terminated by the
Grantee for cause at any time upon fourteen (14) calendar days’ written notice to the Sub-Grantee. “For
cause” shall mean a material breach of this Agreement and any amendments to this Agreement. If this
Agreement is terminated prior to the Expiration Date, the Sub-Grantee shall receive payment on a pro rata
basis for eligible Activities that have been completed prior to the termination. Termination of this
Agreement does not alter the authority of the Grantee or Metropolitan Council to recover grant funds on
the basis of a later audit or other review, and does not alter the Sub-Grantee’s obligation to return any grant
funds due to the Grantee or Metropolitan Council as a result of later audits or corrections. If the Grantee
or Metropolitan Council determines that the Sub-Grantee has failed to comply with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Grant Agreement, or the applicable provisions of Metropolitan Livable Communities
Act, the Grantee may take any action to protect the interests of the Grantee or Metropolitan Council and
may refuse to disburse additional grant funds and may require the Sub-Grantee to return all or part of the
grant funds already disbursed.
14. Effect of Grant. Issuance of this grant neither implies any Grantee or Metropolitan Council
responsibility for the condition of the Property nor imposes any obligation on the Grantee or Metropolitan
Council to participate in any activities on the Property. By awarding grant funds to the Sub-Grantee for the
Activities and executing this Agreement, the Grantee and Metropolitan Council assume no responsibility
for (a) any damage to persons, property, or the environment caused by implementation of the Activities; or
(b) determining whether intended uses of the Property identified in the grant application or potential future
uses of the Property, including any residential uses, are suitable for the Property.

AMENDED AND RESTATED SUB-GRANT AGREEMENT
(Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Act Grant – Local Housing Incentives Account – Affordable
Homeownership Grant Program)
THIS SUB-GRANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of this ___ day of
_____________, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), between the HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY IN AND FOR THE CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA, a public body corporate and
politic of the State of Minnesota (the “Grantee”), and HOME SOURCE INC., a Minnesota corporation (the
“Sub-Grantee”).
WHEREAS, the Grantee and Metropolitan Council entered into the Metropolitan Livable Communities
Act Grant Agreement, effective as of January 25, 2023 (the “Grant Agreement”), a copy of which is attached
hereto as EXHIBIT A and is incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Grant Agreement provides that Metropolitan Council is to grant to the Grantee a sum not
to exceed $192,000, a portion of which funds in the amount of up to $168,750 shall be used to reimburse
the Sub-Grantee for site preparation hard costs, including lot preparation, utility connections, transport, and
other related costs, incurred in preparation of at least three new three-bedroom housing units and up to an
additional four two- and three-bedroom units to be sold to households with incomes of no more than eighty
percent (80%) of the area median income (the “Project”) on the property legally described in EXHIBIT B
attached hereto (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the remainder of the funds derived from the Grant in the amount of $28,250 will be provided
to Woodlawn Terrace Cooperative, a Minnesota nonprofit cooperative, pursuant to a separate Sub-Grant
Agreement to reimburse Woodlawn Terrace Cooperative for tree removal and demolition costs incurred in
preparation for the Project; and
WHEREAS, following completion of the Project, the Sub-Grantee will (a) sell the housing units for a
commensurate reduced sale price; (b) sell the housing units to households earning no more than eighty
percent (80%) of the area median income, as adjusted by household size; and (c) submit income
documentation to staff of the Grantee, as more fully described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Grantee and the Sub-Grantee have agreed for the Sub-Grantee to assume certain duties
and responsibilities of the Grantee under the Grant Agreement in consideration of receiving funds provided
for in the Grant Agreement and subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises set forth herein, the
parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. Grant Funds. The Grantee will distribute funds received under the Grant Agreement upon
the continuing compliance by the Sub-Grantee with its obligations hereunder. The Sub-Grantee shall use
the grant proceeds which are being provided by the Grantee under this Agreement solely for the Project, as
further specified within the Livable Communities Project Summary (attached to the Grant Agreement). The
grant proceeds shall not be used for any ineligible uses as described in the Grant Agreement. The
Sub-Grantee understands and agrees that any reduction or termination of Local Housing Incentives Account
funds made available to Metropolitan Council from the Local Housing Incentives Account of the
Metropolitan Livable Communities Fund may result in a like reduction in the amount of the grant proceeds
that will be made available to the Sub-Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 2.08 of the
Grant Agreement, the parties agree that none of the grant funds may be made available to any subgrantee
or subrecipient without the prior written consent of Metropolitan Council.
Page 44 of 83
[PAGE 45]
2. Grantee’s Obligations. The Grantee will be responsible for reimbursing the Sub-Grantee
for the costs of performing site preparation, including crowning, utility connections, transport, and other
related costs, incurred in preparation for three new three-bedroom housing units to be sold to households with
incomes of no more than eighty percent (80%) of the area median income (the “Activities”) up to a total
amount of $168,750, which will be funded from the grant proceeds received from Metropolitan Council.
The Grantee will disburse funds to the Sub-Grantee pursuant to this Agreement and the Grant Agreement,
based upon reimbursement requests submitted by the Sub-Grantee and reviewed and approved by the
Grantee and Metropolitan Council. Reimbursement requests must be accompanied by all information and
documentation needed by the Grantee pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Grant Agreement to submit a payment
request form to Metropolitan Council. In order to ensure that all funds are drawn prior to the expiration of
the grant, all payment requests must be received by the Grantee at least 60 days prior to the amended grant-
term expiration date of December 31, 2026, unless extended by the Grantee in writing, otherwise any
unrequested funds will be lost. The Grantee shall have no obligation to disburse any of these funds if, at
the time of disbursement, the Sub-Grantee is in default under any of the terms of this Agreement.
3. Sub-Grantee’s Obligations. The Sub-Grantee shall perform and satisfy certain obligations
of the Grantee under the Grant Agreement. Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, the Sub-Grantee
must perform all the following with respect to the Activities and in satisfaction of the Grant Agreement
obligations:
a. The Sub-Grantee is not the owner of the Property. The Sub-Grantee has been hired by the
Owner of the Property to perform site preparation, including lot preparation, utility
connections, and other related costs, incurred in preparation for three new three-bedroom
housing units to be sold to households with incomes of no more than eighty percent (80%) of
the area median income. All Activities provided by the Sub-Grantee under this Agreement
must be performed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Grantee and Metropolitan Council
and in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, and
regulations. The Sub-Grantee will not receive payment for Activities found by the Grantee
or Metropolitan Council to be reasonably unsatisfactory or performed in violation of
federal, state, or local law.
b. The Sub-Grantee will comply with all requirements and conditions of the Grant Agreement
applicable to the Activities that, by their nature, must be performed by Sub-Grantee rather
than Grantee and that are conditions of award of funds under the Grant Agreement.
c. The Sub-Grantee must take all other actions as are needed to ensure compliance with the
Grant Agreement and provide such information and assistance to the Grantee as may
reasonably be needed to ensure the Grantee can comply with the requirements of the Grant
Agreement that, by their nature, must be performed by the Grantee rather than the
Sub-Grantee.
d. In order to permit the Grantee and Metropolitan Council to monitor compliance with this
Agreement, the Sub-Grantee shall permit any person that the Grantee or Metropolitan
Council designates, at the expense of the Grantee or Metropolitan Council, to visit and
inspect the Property, corporate books and financial records and documents of the
Sub-Grantee as relevant to receipt and expenditure of the grant funds or this Agreement
and to discuss its affairs, finances, and accounts (as they relate to receipt and expenditure
of the grant funds or this Agreement) with the principal officers of Sub-Grantee, all at such
reasonable times and as often as the Grantee or Metropolitan Council may reasonably
request during the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6) years after the
termination of this Agreement.

Page 45 of 83
[PAGE 46]
e. The Sub-Grantee will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard
to public assistance, membership or activity in a local civil rights commission, disability,
sexual orientation or age and will take affirmative action to insure applicants and
employees are treated equally with respect to all aspects of employment, rates of pay and
other forms of compensation, and selection for training.
f. If the Sub-Grantee earns any interest or other income from the grant funds received from
the Grantee under this Agreement, the Sub-Grantee must use the interest earnings or
income only for the purposes of implementing the Activities.
g. Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Grant Agreement, because the Project includes affordable
housing units, the Grantee is required to ensure that said housing units will remain
“affordable,” as that term is defined in the Grant Agreement, for a minimum period of
fifteen (15) years. Said obligation may be satisfied if other Project funding sources require
an affordability term of at least fifteen (15) years. If at any point it is determined that the
Sub-Grantee is not participating in said program or in another state or federal program that
will ensure such affordability for the period required via formal instrument, or if there is
any other reason to believe that there are no instruments in place to ensure the same, as
required in the Grant Agreement, the Sub-Grantee agrees that it will execute any
instruments to ensure such affordability, in a form that meets the Grantee’s satisfaction. A
failure to adhere to this subsection may result, at Grantee’s request, in the Sub-Grantee
being required to pay back grant funds received pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Ownership and Condition of the Property. The Sub-Grantee makes the following
representations:

be construed as creating the relationship of agents, partners, joint venturers, or associates between the
parties hereto or as constituting the Sub-Grantee as the employee of the Grantee for any purpose or in any
manner whatsoever. The Sub-Grantee is an independent contractor and neither it, nor its employees, agents,

any “business subsidy” requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995, that apply to
the Sub-Grantee’s expenditures or uses of the grant funds. The grant will be used for the creation of
affordable housing and subsidies for affordable housing are exempt from the Business Subsidy Law.
13. Expiration and Termination. This Agreement shall automatically expire upon the
expiration or termination of the Grant Agreement, or upon the satisfactory completion of all obligations
hereunder, whichever occurs first (the “Expiration Date”), except that the obligations contained in

Agreement is terminated prior to the Expiration Date, the Sub-Grantee shall receive payment on a pro rata

funds due to the Grantee or Metropolitan Council as a result of later audits or corrections. If the Grantee
or Metropolitan Council determines that the Sub-Grantee has failed to comply with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, the Grant Agreement, or the applicable provisions of Metropolitan Livable Communities
Act, the Grantee may take any action to protect the interests of the Grantee or Metropolitan Council and
may refuse to disburse additional grant funds and may require the Sub-Grantee to return all or part of the
grant funds already disbursed.
14. Effect of Grant. Issuance of this grant neither implies any Grantee or Metropolitan Council
responsibility for the condition of the Property nor imposes any obligation on the Grantee or Metropolitan
Council to participate in any activities on the Property. By awarding grant funds to the Sub-Grantee for the
Activities and executing this Agreement, the Grantee and Metropolitan Council assume no responsibility
for (a) any damage to persons, property, or the environment caused by implementation of the Activities; or
(b) determining whether intended uses of the Property identified in the grant application or potential future
uses of the Property, including any residential uses, are suitable for the Property.

Report Prepared By:
LaTonia DuBois, Administrative Assistant
Department Director:
Melissa Poehlman, Community Development Director
Item for Consideration:
Consider the adoption of a resolution amending the Bylaws of the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority to adjust the order of operations.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City selected CivicPlus as our new agenda building software platform last year. In
an effort to make agendas more consistent, Commissions are adjusting their order of
operations to better align with City Council agendas. Therefore, staff proposes changing
the order of operations to match the City Council. Going forward, approval of the
agenda will be first, then approval of minutes, followed by open forum. Claims will now
be included as part of the consent calendar, rather than a stand-alone item at the end of
the agenda. These changes should be reflected in the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) Bylaws.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Adopt a resolution amending the Bylaws of the Richfield Housing and
Redevelopment Authority.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority HRA Bylaws were last updated in 2025.
EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
N/A
POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
HRA Bylaws are reviewed routinely to ensure they meet current practice and statutory
requirements.
CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
The City Council adjusted their order of operations previously and the Planning
Commission amended their Bylaws to adjust their order of operations in February 2026.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting 3/16/2026
Agenda Section: Consent Calendar
Agenda Item: 7.d.
Report Prepared By:
Steve McDaniel, Budget, Cash, and Debt Manager
Department Director:
Melissa Poehlman, Community Development Director
Item for Consideration:
Consider resolutions designating official depositories for the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority for 2026, including the approval of collateral.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In compliance with Minnesota statutes, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA) must designate on an annual basis those financial institutions it does business
with.
U.S. Bank acts as the banking institution in the HRA’s banking arrangement with the 4M
Fund.
The following resolutions for the HRA's consideration will designate U.S Bank/4M Fund
as a depository of HRA funds, and designate certain savings and loan associations,
banks, credit unions and financial institutions as depositories for the investment of HRA
funds.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By Motion: Adopt the attached resolutions designating official depositories, with
the understanding that the Housing and Redevelopment Authority could not
invest in any of the depositories beyond the level of insurance coverage or the
pledged collateral.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT
N/A
EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
Developing more inclusive procurement is a long-term equity project. Currently there
are very limited financial institutions owned by underrepresented groups. Also, it is the
League of Minnesota Cities that selects the depository for the 4M Fund which provides
significant value in excellent services at lower costs.
POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes Section 118A.01 - 118A.06, the HRA must
designate financial institutions annually. The institutions must pledge the collateral over
and above the amount of federal insurance, as public depositories.
U.S. Bank acts as the banking institution in the HRA’s banking arrangement with the 4M
Page 79 of 83

Fund. Monies received, checks written by the HRA, flow through U.S. Bank. However,
at the end of each business day, any proceeds remaining in the HRA U.S. Bank
accounts are swept to the 4M Fund to be invested. Therefore, at the end of the
business day the HRA accounts are zero, which means the collateral requirements of
Minnesota Statutes Section 118A.03 are not required. Accordingly, U.S. Bank has met
all other statutory requirements and should be considered as a depository for the HRA’s
Deputy Registrar, payroll and vendor accounts and all savings deposits.
The HRA must also annually designate certain savings and loan associations, banks,
and credit unions as official depositories for deposit and investment of certain HRA
funds. With approval of these official depositories, the HRA will be able to deposit and
invest funds in these institutions, not exceeding the federal insurance of $250,000.
Currently, U.S. Bank is the only bank designated as the official depository of the HRA.
An annual designation must also be made for certain financial institutions as
depositories for the investment of HRA funds for 2026. These institutions, such as
investment brokerage firms, offer government securities in the manner required by law.
These financial institutions include RBC Capital Markets, Raymond James &
Associates, Inc., Northland Securities, Oppenheimer & Co., Principal Custody Solutions,
Moreton Capital Markets, Pershing Wealth Solutions BNY Mellon, and the 4M Fund.

N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT
N/A
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

accompanied by an assignment pledged to the HRA in the amount specified in the
attached resolutions.
