MEMORANDUM
September 22, 2016
To: Mound Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board of Commissioners
From: Catherine Pausche, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
Subject: Amendment to Purchase Agreement with Aeon
On April 12, 2016, representatives from Aeon presented an update on the Indian Knoll Manor RAD
conversion, including the funding status, current site plan and preliminary planning review comments
from Community Development Director Sarah Smith.
The HRA Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to direct Aeon and staff to move forward with
the local development application review process, including City of Mound Planning Commission and
City Council land -use approvals, as well as an other applications necessary with other public agencies,
with respect to the development of 2020 Commerce Boulevard and the adjacent 5524 Spruce Road.
As the land -use approvals were anticipated to be completed shortly, the final actions to transfer the
property to Aeon's limited partnership will begin as well. For purposes of obtaining the tax credit
funding, the Mound HRA will be "selling" Indian Knoll Manor to Aeon, or technically their tax credit
partnership with Wells Fargo called "IKM Limited Partnership", with the closing anticipated on
November 21st. The amount received from the sale will be returned for investment in the property in
the form of a loan. The IRS/tax credit financing legislation does not allow this loan to be depicted as
forgivable, I am told, although the City/HRA does not expect to be repaid after the 30 years.
The sale and setting up the loan will be a paper entry and no cash will be exchanged in November. The
loan constitutes a lien on the property to ensure the performance mandates are met (maintain
affordability, make the improvements, etc.).
Aeon has requested to amend the purchase agreement to extend the expiration to December 31, 2016,
modify the purchase price based on the appraisal and to acknowledge the assignment of the agreement
by Aeon to the IKM Limited Partnership.
The loan document and a resolution to terminate the Public Housing Annual Contributions Contract
(ACC) with HUD due to the RAD conversion of Indian Knoll Manor will be brought forth at the
October 11, 2016 regular HRA meeting. The HRA will complete the required reporting for 2016 and
then effectively dissolve its Public Housing Authority (PHA) status with HUD.
Please let me know if you have any questions on these matters at (952)472-0633 or via email at
catherinepausche@cityofmound.com.
