To: Mound HRA Commissioners and Executive Director
From: John Dean
Subject: Preliminary Appraisals for Mound Harbor Renaissance Project
As part of the analysis currently being undertaken by the HRA and MHR, assumptions are being
made regarding the costs of property acquisition. Those assumptions then become a key element in the
determination of project feasibility.
Acquisition expenditures are among the most significant elements of cost in tax increment projects;
and this project is no exception. If our site acquisition cost assumptions are not reasonably accurate,
significant problems, including the potential insolvency of the development, could occur later.
We are at a point in our negotiations with MHR where it becomes important to test those
assumptions. We recommend that the HRA authorize the following activities:
o
The HRA staff would be authorized to select an appraiser, or appraisers to conduct a
preliminary analysis of market values of certain sites selected from the project area.
With input from MHR, the staff would meet with the appraiser(s) to select a limited number
of properties to be evaluated. The scope of the evaluation would also be agreed upon at that
time with input from MHR. The engagement, the scope of work, the selected properties and
the fees and charges would all be addressed in engagement agreement(s) with the
appraiser(s).
Notice of the proposed evaluations would be sent to owners and known occupants of the
selected properties.
The selected properties would probably not be evaluated if the owner/occupants of those
properties are not willing to participate. In such case, substitute properties could be selected
for evaluation following input from MHR.
The results of the evaluations would be used only for the purpose of testing the accuracy of our
property value assumptions and for no other purpose.
If the HRA wishes to proceed as outlined above, we would further recommend that the authorization
be conditioned on the receipt of an agreement from MHR agreeing to promptly reimburse the HRA for all
fees and charges paid to the appraiser(s) under such engagement agreement(s).
I will be available at the January 13, 2004 I-IRA meeting to answer any questions that you may have
on this matter.
