PauI, Minnesota 55101 Telephone (612) 291-6359 To: Re: Metro HRA Participating Communities Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program The Metropolitan Council Housing and Redevelopment Authority announces the availability of its Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program for the improvement of residential rental property in Mctropoiitan Area communities. The Rental Rehabilitation Program provides below-market rata rehabilitation loans to owners of rental.property, occupied ~ . ~rzmarl,~¥ by low- and moderate-income households. Metro HRA is administering this program in Co~junction with the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program~ Both programs are designed to: Rehabilitate private rental units which are substandard or have ma~or building components in need of repair or replacement; and Provide prop. arty with energy improvements for compliance with state energy conservation standards for rennal housing. , Because rental property qualifications vary between the two programs, tha--Rental Rehabilitation Program will offer alternative rehabilitation opportunities to owners whose property is not feasible for the Section 8 program. Metro HRA invites your city to participate in the Rental Rehabil- itation Loan.Program. By authorizing the implementation of this program, your. community can: - Improve local rental housing stock and increase the number of standard housing units available to low- and moderate-income families; - Achieve rehabilitation and low- and moderate-income subsidized housing goals in your Housing Allocation Plan; - Increase your Policy 39 housing performance score; and - Leverage CDBG funds in local rehabilitation projects. A brief summary cf thc program and a sample resolution are euclosed An Equal Opportunity Employer To Participating Communities January 4, 1983 Page 2 for your-information. If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact Roberta Everling at 291-6379. Sincerely, Phil Katzung Program Manager Metro HRA PK/eh enclosures Metropolitan Council Housing and Redevelopment Authority RENTAL REHABILITATIOn LOAN PROGRAM SUMMARY Purpose During the past two years, Metro HRA has offered its Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation program to rental property owners through participation in the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's (MHFA) Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program. Metro HRA has now expanded participation by offering the Rental Rehabilitation Program to rental property owners as a separate program, as well as a source of financing for Moderate Rehabilitation Program participation. The Rental Rehabilitation Program provides below-market interest rate rehabilitation loans to owners of rental property occupied primarily by low- and moderate-income households. Metro HRA is administering this program in conjunction with the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program. Both programs are designed to: Rehabilitate private rental units which are substandard or have major building components in need of repair or replacement; and Provide property with energy improvements for compliance with state energy conservation standards for rental housing. The Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program does not provide rent- assistance to tenants in the improved units. However, because rental property qualifications vary between the two programs, the Rental Rehabilitation Program will offer alternative rehabili- tation opportunities to owners whose property is not feasible for the Section 8 program. Technical Assistance and Financing Metro HRA publicizes the availability of the Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program through newspaper circulation and direct mailing. Property owners indicating an interest in the program are sent information packets containing program requirements and the format for submitting proposals'. As the administering agency of the program, Metro HRA provides rehabilitation technical assistance to property owners by working with them in determining the amount and type of rehabilitation, preparing the feasibility analysis, cost estimates and detailed work write-ups, and locating contractors. -2- Metro HRA also assists in the packaging of the rehabilitation loans. The loans to property owners are insured under the FHA' Title I Property Improvement program and processed through the First Bank of St. Paul. The interest rate on MMFA's financing of the loans is il. percent and the maximum loan term is 15 years.- Program Requirements The following are requirements for owner participation in the Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program: a) The propertY to be rehabilitated must be owned by the' applicant and used for residential purposes -. b) Units must be leased tO low-land moderate-income hoUSeholds c) owners must certify that tenants will not be displaced.during or after rehabilitation -_ - - d) FHA Title I loan.maximum ~m~unts are $7,500 per multiifamily unit not.to exceed $37,500 per structure, and.S15,000 per e) Ail buildings rehabilitated must b.e brought into compliance- . with State Energy Conservation Standards f) Structures less than 15 years old are eligible only for energy compliance improvements - · g) Structures more than 15 years old are also'eligible for, ~ permanent general improvements Eligible Improvements a) Energy Conservation Standards - Caulking, weatherstripping - Storm door and window installation - Fireplace and stove positive shutoffs - Insulation in accessible attics, walls and rim joists b) General rehabilitation - Structural additions, alterations - Exterior, interior finishing - Roofing repair or replacement - Plumbing installation or replagement - Heating and ventilating - Electrical wiring ~' c) Accessibility improvements - Ramp construction - Handrail, grab bar installation - Other -3- Community Involvement Before the Metro HRA Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program can operate within a Metropolitan Area community, the city must pass a resolution to participate in the program. Other community involvement could include additional promotional efforts through local newletters, newspapers, and utility bill enclosures. The operation of the Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program within a community requires the involvement of the city's building inspector. As local.code enforcement is of vital importance in the program, Metro HRA staff works closely with community building inspectors during the rehabilitation process to ensure quality rehabilitation in compliance with local codes. The Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program can also-be Used as a leveraging tool with Community Development Block Grant funds in local rehabilitation projects. CDBG funds can be used to further reduce the interest rate on the Rental Rehabilitation Program loan funds, provide interest or principle subsidies, provide. additional funding when.the total cost of rehabilitation exceeds the program's maximum loan amount, or provide~financing for projects not eligible under the program's standards. FOr further information on the Metro HRA Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program, contact Rosemary Fagrelius at 291,6504.

CITY of MOUND 5341 MAYWOOD ROAD MOUND, MINNESOTA 55364 (612) 472-1155 January 11, 1983 Myself and my staff feel that the direction the City Council and City Manager are taking to solve the water meter problem is wrong. First I would like to give you a history of the Water Dept. and its meter system. Up until 1975 the Water Dept. had only 1 employee Bob Shanley. His duties were to maintain wells, main breaks, tapping new services, maintain fire hydrant flushing, repairing water services, water samples, inspections, reading meters, repairing, testing, and installation of new meters and ORs. In 1975 I started with the City installing meters and ORs. These meters and ORs were Badger. In 1977 the City wanted to have a meter change out program to update the meter system. As a lot of meters were old but still recording. The City ~ent through the bidding process with a few irregularities and accepted Neptune meter and ORs. The City took delivery of these meters and we started to install them. We soon found that we were encounting a large number of problems with the generator not sending the signal to the OR. We also found that a large number of ORs were hanging up due to the poor construction of the plastic gears. Because of these problems we had to go back a~ replace or repair these. .On many occasions we had to go back 2 or 3 times due to faulty equipment again. Of these problems I have mentioned we rarely had to go back to repair the Badger meters or Ors. Before the Neptune System was installed some will say that we had alot of estimated bills. This is true, but it was not because of.the Badger Meter and ORs. The reason was that all acounts were to be read in 1 month. A very difficult task for 1 employee. This procedure has since been changed to read 1/3 of the accounts monthly. The Council is now considering to go with a 3 wire automatic read system, we feel that this move is wrong for a number of reasons. First of the 2,128 Badger meters and ORs that are still in use we show that it has a 1.01% failure rate (give or take'l%margin for error) With the Nepture system we have 825 in service with 8.08% failure rate (use the same margin for error). As you can see we have more Badger in service that Nepture with a much lower failure rate. This is what we have been maintaining from the start, that Badger has been a reliable product with few repairs. With the 3 wire automatic read, Rockwells TTR and Nepture ARB sales people say that it will guarantee us a 1% failure rate. This is all well and good, but we already have a 2 wire system with a 1.01% failure rate. Now we get into the cost of the 3 wire system as compared to the Badger 2 wire system. The Rockwell TTR system will mean a complete change out.program of 2,945 meters and ORs plus rewireing of all houses. ~he City Manager has estimated this cost at $160,000 to $190,000. Then we have to think about the cost of the recorders to read the meters and the tranlators, or the cost to send the disc-its to ~ockwell to translate and ~end the bills back to us. The Neptune ARB would be about the same, but some whmt cheaper. As they do not have to supply a complete meter. But the City has not had very good luck with Neptune products. The Badger 2 wire system cost would be approimately $,50,000 to complete, much cheaper and just as reliable. Now who pays for these meters, many people hmve already paid for ORs, we certainly can't make them pay again. So you propose to take the money out of the Water Reserve Fund to fund the project. Well that I can not go along with. First of all you are talking about spreading the program out to 5 years which will only delay our return of this large investment. Second with our biggest water revenue user leaving in June I feel this is a bad .time to make such a large investment. Third the tax payers of this town will still be paying for this new system, not directly but indirectly through higher water rates. The fourth reason and most important to me is that I am and always have been very concerned about the people in Island Park. The water pressure is so bad that these peopie go with out or very little water because I can not supply them water. I feel that the money in the reserve fund should be used to solve this problem. We tried to drill a well but that didn't pan out. We should look very quickly and seriously for a stQrage tank to supply these people. They have been very patient with us so far. But I feel when they see the City spending this money on this. 3 wire automatic read system and the water rates possibly going up again in the near future there p~tients will have run out. Me, my staff and everyone in the Public Works have worked very hard in the last few years to upgrade the water system. Our rating with the State of MinneSota has been on the rise since 1981, we have a 91.5% rate out of 96%. We are all very prodd of this. We want to give the people of this City a good product, good service and the lowest possible rate we can. · In closing you now have my and my staffs ~eelings. I feel we are the best qualified people in determing what meter system should be used in the City of Mound~ and that system is a Badger 2 wire.'

Hamblin: Neptune Water Meter Company //~ · · 'FORM R627 ARB 11 neplu ne / AUTOMATIC READING AND BILLING SYSTEM The Neptune ARB II System has been developed to reach two objectives: 1) Reduce operating costs by speeding and automating both the reading of meters and the preparation of water bills. 2) Modernize and extend the advantages of remote reading by collecting meter reading data in the fastest, most trouble-free manner and in a form compatible with automatic processing. FEATURES Automates the remote reading of meters and the calculation of water bills Shortens billing cycle and improves cash flow Provides the accessibility and convenience of remote reading Remote receptacle is directly connected to encoder register to ensure accurate readings inside and outside 3-wire cable connection between sealed encoder register and remote receptacle for ease of installation Cable can be cut-to-size in the field Customer account number is wired into the receptacle by field personnel and may be changed if necessary Tamper-proof receptacle is unobtrusive and designed for easy.installation Encoder register is adaptable to all Neptune and most competitive meters PERFORMANCE The ARB encoder register and remote receptacle together provide the meter reading and account identification number for recording on cassette tape. After completion of the daily readings, the cassette tape is converted by the data terminal into input for the computer billing operation. As the basic component of the total ARB System, the meter equipped with ARB II encoder register and receptacle is the first step toward totally automating the reading and billing process. The benefits of remote reading are available to the utility immediately by using the LCD Mini Reader during the transition to the total ARB System which utilizes the LCD Tape Recorder and Micro-processor Data Terminal. ARB's "total system" concept means more meter readings per day, automatic bill preparation, and shortened billing cycles for improved cash flow. WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE Neptune provides a limited warranty with respect to its ARB II System for performance, materials, and workmanship. Neptune further offers an optional post-warranty factory "Revenue and Asset Maintenance" program for extended service life.

TENTATIVE AGENDA SRAANNUAL MEETING January 19, 1983 Call to Order Roll Call Approval of Minutes Election of Officers Treasurer's Report Reports of Committees Claims Unfinished Business - Rate Filings MWCC - Other New Business Adjournment MINUTES OF THE SRA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE December 16, 1982 .... Pursuant to the call of the Chairman, and in response to the direction of the SRA Board, the Executive Committee met on December 16, 1982. Present were Chairman Orvil Johnson, Secretary- Treasurer Jerry Dalen, members Edward Hamernik, Graydon Boeck and John Greavu. John Anderson, Board member from Shakopee, and SRA attorneys Clayton LeFevere and Glenn Purdue also attended. Mr. LeFevere discussed the proposed Minnegasco franchise which has been presented to SRA member cities whose uniform franchise, previously negotiated through the SRA, will expire in the near future. The committee discussed various deficiencies in the Minnegasco proposal, and following the discussion, Mr. Boeck moved and Mr. Dalen seconded that legal counsel be directed to work with Minnegasco in an effort to produce an acceptable franchise ordinance which can be presented to SRA member cities. The motion was passed unanimously. Mr. Boeck, Mr. Greavu and the Edina city engineer were selected by the committee to work with legal counsel on the matter. Mr. Johnson and Mr. LeFevere reported on their appearance on Tuesday, December 14, before the MPCA concerning the allocation of federal funds between the metropolitan area and outstate communities. It was reported that the MPCA determined to allocate approximately three-fourths of the federal mOney to outstate' projects, even though 60 percent of the sewered population is in the metropolitan area. SRA appeared with Met Council staff and MWCC staff in opposition to the allocation. Chairman Johnson directed legal counsel to prepare a letter to the MPCA presenting SRA's opposition to the allocation and to confirm that SRA wants to be involved in the current undertaking to revise MPCA rules concerning allocation. The letter is to be distributed to state and national elected officials. The committee then discussed the proper role of the SRA regarding MWCC issues and operations. The committee identified SRA goals as including (1) a defense as to any proposal to spread the cost of separation of facilities in Minneapolis and St. Paul on suburban communities,, and (2) support of the MWCC regarding funding from external sources, and (3) dissemination to the membership of information and suggested courses of action. Mr. Dalen suggested that the MWCC be_approached to determine whether it might be willing to fund SRA activity. After discussion, Mr. LeFevere was directed to make such a contact. The committee discussed several possible mechanisms by which the membership might be assessed for the cost of MWCC activities. It also ?? discussed the probable costs of such activity, including expert assistance. The committee discussed utilization of volunteer staff drawn from the membership, and it was the consensus of the committee that while member staff might act as an advisory group, it is unrealistic to expect volunteer staff to handle a project of this complexity. It was also the consensus of the committee that if the project is to be undertaken, paid staff should be utilized. On motion by Mr. Dalen, seconded by Mr. Boeck and unanimous vote, the committee directed legal counsel to conduct a preliminary search for experts, consider funding through the MWCC and to consider and be prepared to discuss alternative funding. The committee next considered nominations for Officers and for executive committee'membership in 1983. The committee deter- mined to nominate the following Chairman - Fred Moore; Vice Chairman - Gayle Norberg; Secretary-Treasurer - Jerry Dalen; members of the executive committee - Graydon Boeck, John Greavu, Edward Hamernik and James Spore. Respectfully submitted, J. N. Dalen, Secretary-Treasurer
