HOUSING AUTHORITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK Agenda Item #6a
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Meeting Date: December 11, 2024
TITLE: Statutory board and commission scope of work discussion with the St. Louis Park City Council
RECOMMENDED ACTION: This item is for discussion purposes.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the board wish to consider changes to the scope and purpose of the
Housing Authority?
SUMMARY: During a May 20, 2024 special study session, the city council expressed a desire to further
discuss the purpose of the statutory boards. City staff prepared a special study session report October
21, 2024, attached for your review.
In preparation for the October 28, 2024 city council study session, the HA board discussed the following
questions at their October HA board meeting :
What has each commission been working on in 2024?
How can the council support boards and commissions in the future?
The HA board chair presented responses to both questions at the October 28 council study session.
During the meeting, the council inquired about expanding the scope of the HA board and if the board
had additional capacity. Pat Coleman, community engagement coordinator, noted that discussing the
scope of work would be at a later date, tentatively scheduled for January 2025. The draft council study
session minutes are attached for your review.
In preparation for the council’s discussion on scope of work for statutory boards, Pat Coleman,
community engagement coordinator, will facilitate a discussion with board members around scope of
the HA board, specifically:
Do HA board members feel they have capacity to expand the role of the HA board?
Is there interest in expanding the scope of work of the HA board? Any changes would be in
addition to the work that is statutorily required of the HA board.
Changes to the HA board’s scope of work would require council approval and would need to comply with
state statute and city code.
This item was originally on the November agenda but was tabled and moved to the December meeting.

Special study session meeting of October 21, 2024 (Item No. 4) Page 2
Title: Authority to change the scope and purpose of the statutory bodies
Discussion
Background:
The council has been discussing ways to improve and increase the effectiveness of its boards
and commissions since 2022. During a special study session on May 20, 2024, it was noted
that one of the statutory boards, the Housing Authority, had concerns about their utilization as
a body. Council directed staff to come back with information about the purpose and scope of
work for each statutory board along with whether there were opportunities for council to
update their scope.
St. Louis Park has established statutory boards and commissions through a mix of state statutes
and local ordinances; this impacts the scope and authority of each board. Minnesota statutes
and city code outline the powers and responsibilities of these boar ds, which include the
Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals and the Housing Authority. Technically, the Fire
Civil Service Commission is not a board that reports to council; however, they have been
included in this report because council makes appointments to their body. The council’s
authority to change the full purpose and scope of work for the se four boards and commissions
is limited.
The League of Minnesota Cities: Handbook for Minnesota Cities offers general guidance to
councils contemplating making changes to a board or commission’s purpose, scope of work,
etc. It provides a high-level outline of the opportunities and limitations for the council to
consider. Specific details regarding the St. Louis Park’s statutory boards and commissions are
listed below in present considerations.
Here are the general opportunities and limitations provided by the League of Minnesota Cities:
Opportunities:
• Ordinances and resolutions:
• Ordinances: These are laws passed by the city council that can establish, modify or
repeal the powers and responsibilities of a board or commission. The process
typically involves drafting the ordinance, holding a public hearing (note: St. Louis
Park’s boards and commissions do not require a public hearing to be held unless
explicitly required in a statute of the governing body), and then voting on it.
Ordinances are often used for more permanent or significant changes.
• Resolutions: These are formal statements of a decision or expression of opinion by
the city council. Resolutions can be used to direct the actions of statutory boards or
to set policies. They are generally easier to pass than ordinances and can be used for
more temporary or specific issues.
• State legislation: Since the city’s authority to have statutory boards and the bodies’ specific
authority is often derived from state law, changes to their powers and purposes might
require action by the Minnesota State Legislature. The city council can lobby state
legislators to propose and pass the necessary changes. This process involves drafting a bill,
finding legislative sponsors and navigating the legislative process at the state level.
• Administrative actions: The city council can issue new guidelines or policies that affect how
statutory boards operate within the framework of existing laws. This might include setting
new operational procedures, performance standards, or reporting requirements. 7
Special study session meeting of October 21, 2024 (Item No. 4) Page 3
Title: Authority to change the scope and purpose of the statutory bodies
Administrative actions are typically more flexible and can be implemented more quickly
than legislative changes.
• Public engagement: Engaging with the community through public consultations and
hearings is crucial for ensuring that changes reflect the needs and desires of residents. This
process can involve holding public meetings, conducting surveys and gathering fee dback
from stakeholders. Public engagement helps build consensus and ensures transparency in
the decision-making process.
Limitations:
• Enabling resolution: The city council must pass an enabling resolution to establish or modify
the powers of an Economic Development Authority (EDA) or a statutory board. This
resolution outlines the roles, responsibilities and limitations of the EDA or a statutory board.
• State statutes: Changes must comply with Minnesota state statutes, particularly those
outlined in chapter 469 of the Minnesota Statutes, which govern EDAs. These statutes set
specific guidelines and limitations on what an EDA or statutory board can and cannot do.
• Public hearing: Before making significant changes, the city council is often required to hold a
public hearing to gather input from the community.
• Review and Approval: Any modifications to the scope of an EDA or a statutory board must
be reviewed and approved by the city council. This process includes considering
recommendations from the EDA or statutory board.
• Legal compliance: All changes must comply with other relevant laws and regulations,
including those related to public finance, land use and economic development
Present considerations:
This report is intended to provide council with the necessary information regarding their
authority to change the purpose and scope of work for statutory boards and commissions. If
council chooses to pursue changes to any of the statutory boards, the path that is needed to
make that change will depend on what the specific change might be. Staff, along with the city
attorney, will most likely need to provide additional review and recommendation on any
proposed changes.
Staff is providing this report to the council in preparation for the statutory board and
commission’s check-in meeting on Oct. 28, 2024, which will include representatives from the
Fire Civil Service Commission, Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals and Housing
Authority. The purpose of the statutory board and commission check-in meeting is to touch
base with the council on what each body has been working on. The follow-up discussion around
the information in this report will occur at a study session in January 2024.
There are three boards and commissions for which the council could consider changes to its
purpose and scope of work. A summary of their purpose and where each specific board derives
their power is below.
Fire Civil Service Commission
The Fire Civil Service Commission has the authority to oversee the employment, promotion,
discharge, and suspension of all offices and employees within a city’s fire department. This
includes roles such as the chief, assistant chief, inspectors and clerks involved in the fire
prevention and protection.
8
Special study session meeting of October 21, 2024 (Item No. 4) Page 4
Title: Authority to change the scope and purpose of the statutory bodies
Their powers derive from Chapter 420 of the Minnesota Statute, which grants them control and
supervision over these aspects to ensure efficiency and proper functioning of the fire
department. Changing role, authority or scope of this board will require a change in Minnesota
statute.
It should be noted that that the City of St. Louis Park is one of very few cities in Minnesota that
has a Fire Civil Service Commission. Fire Civil Service Commissions used to be more prevalent in
the past. Cities have been moving away from this model and delegating their powers and duties
to the city manager, city administrator or city council as aligned with their specific city
structure.
Housing Authority
The Housing Authority has vested powers, duties and obligations to the authority for the
purpose of managing, planning and implementing the city’s low- and moderate-income housing
programs. The body is additionally responsible for: planning and implementing new housing
programs for low- and moderate-income groups, and accepting projects delegated by the EDA.
They can also levy special benefit taxes to support these housing projects, with city council
approval.
In 1970, the City of St. Louis Park first established a Housing Redevelopment Authority. In 1988,
the City of St. Louis Park vested the EDA with many powers previously held by the HRA, and the
old HRA was renamed to the “Housing Authority” (eliminating the “redevelopment” in its
name) and the scope of its responsibilities became more limited. The ordinance shifted to the
EDA many of the statutory powers which are enumerated by statute for an HRA. The new
Housing Authority of St. Louis Park (the “Authority”) was authorized to “exercise all of the
powers granted under Minnesota Statutes Section 469.001 to 469.047” for the purpose “of
implementing the city’s low and moderate housing programs and projects.
Their powers derive from Chapter 469 of the Minnesota Statutes, which grants them the
authority to address substandard, slum or blighted areas and provided housing for low -income
families. Changing role, authority or scope of this board will require an ord inance change.
Increasing scope of the board would remove duties and authority from the EDA; additionally,
there are statutory limitations to consider.
Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals
The Planning Commission is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations on land
use, site plans, conditional use permits, variances and land subdivisions. The commission is also
responsible for playing a key role in shaping the city’s comprehensive plan and ensuring orde rly
development.
The Board of Zoning Appeals is responsible for hearing and deciding appeals related to zoning
decisions made by the Zoning Administrator. This includes granting variances, reviewing orders,
requirements, permits, decisions or refusals made under the zoning code. The board also
ensures that zoning regulations are applied fairly and consistently.
Their powers derive from Chapter 462 of the Minnesota Statutes, which provides the legal
framework for the commission’s establishment and operation, granting them advisory authority
9
Special study session meeting of October 21, 2024 (Item No. 4) Page 5
Title: Authority to change the scope and purpose of the statutory bodies
to the city council in all matters wherein powers are assigned to the city council by state law or
city charter concerning land use, comprehensive planning, zoning, plating, changes in streets, or
other matters of a general planning nature and for the Board of Zoning Appeals to hear appeals
and make decisions on zoning matters. Changing role, authority or scope of this board will
require a change in Minnesota statute.
In conclusion, the city council can propose changes to the scope of work for statutory boards,
but there are tradeoffs and limitations. Any changes would need to comply with state statutes
and local ordinances. Additionally, significant changes might require approval from the state
legislature or a vote by the city residents, depending on specific legal framework governing the
city.
Next steps:
There will be a later study session item in January 2024 for council members to provide staff
direction about whether to pursue changes to statutory boards’ scope of work.

St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Oct. 28, 2024
1. Statutory boards annual meeƟng preparaƟon discussion.
Mr. Coleman presented the staff report. The statutory boards and council members introduced
themselves. Mia Divecha, Thom Miller and Kyle Wermerskirchen presented on behalf of their
respecƟve boards.
Council Member Dumalag asked Mr. Miller whether their agency plan, public hearings and
tenant advisory minutes are available to the council for review. Mr. Miller stated he is not sure if
that informaƟon is part of city council agenda packets. Ms. Olson clarified that housing
authority meeƟng minutes are included in the housing authority packets. The public hearing
informaƟon is included, with comments, when the housing authority board is approving the
plans. Mr. Coleman added all documented informaƟon is available for the council to review as
needed.
Mr. Miller added one of the members of the commission is a resident of Hamilton House and
has been a great addiƟon to the board, providing much‐needed informaƟon.
Council Member Budd stated she is interested in the housing authority tenant advisory report
but had not seen that informaƟon anywhere. She asked if this commiƩee’s work is ongoing. Ms.
Olson stated yes, adding the resident advisory commiƩee meets annually and gathers input
from residents on housing programs.
Council Member Budd asked if the housing commission has a delegated seat for public housing
residents, as with the resident currently serving. Ms. Olson stated the seat member does not
have to live in public housing, but has to be a program parƟcipant of the housing authority, such
as a voucher holder. Mr. Miller added one of the items the housing authority commission would
like from the council is to act on commission appointments faster, noƟng this posiƟon was open
from May through November.
Council Member Brausen stated this Ɵme frame was when the council was studying boards and
commissions, resulƟng in delayed appointments. He asked if the resident boards could review
items before they come to the housing authority. Mr. Miller stated this issue has not been
pushed forward by any other commissioner except himself.
Council Member Rog asked about the mission of the workplan and stated she could not find a
descripƟon of the purpose of the housing commission in the documents provided to
the council. She stated she would like to see the most current housing commission mandate
before moving forward on discussions about what the council would want from this body. Mr.
11
Coleman stated that is a different conversaƟon, but noted the most recent version is in the
report that was given out last week.
Council Member Rog asked if the workplan leverages the skills and talents of the those on the
housing authority commission and maximizes their Ɵme and energy. Mr. Miller stated parƟally,
and added there is a diverse group on the commission, including realtors, an aƩorney and a
resident. He stated there is much interest in learning about public housing and everyone is
engaged, but he noted there could be more engagement as well. Ms. Olson stated the HA Board
would be working on the state Bring it Home rental assistance program which will be
forthcoming.

HOUSING AUTHORITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK Agenda Item #6b
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Meeting Date: December 11, 2024
TITLE: Approval of Public Housing Operating Budget Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025, Resolution No. 769
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends the Housing Authority (HA) Board of Commissioners approve Resolution No. 769 adopting the
Public Housing (PH) Operating Budget for Fiscal Year Ending (FYE) December 31, 2025.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
According to HUD regulations, the HA is required to develop and adopt an operating budget annually to support
the operation of the PH Program. The budget must be for a period of operation covering the Fiscal Year (FY). The
HA’s FY period is January 1 through December 31. The HA’s FY coincides with HUD’s funding cycle and the city’s
budgeting cycle. Operating budgets are not required by HUD for other programs such as the HCV program or
other non‐HUD programs; however, the development and approval of operating budgets is recommended as a
best practice.
HUD allocates PH Operating Subsidy annually on a twelve‐month calendar year period. The operating subsidy
allocation is based on a formula calculation that considers the HA’s rent revenue and operational expenses for
administering the public housing program. The operating subsidy estimate for 2025 budget is based on the
calculation from HUD form 52573 which was submitted to HUD in October 2024. The HA is using $339,000 for an
estimated operating subsidy for 2025. This is a nearly $100,00 reduction in the budgeted amount for 2024.
The revenues and expenses listed in the PH operating budget are for the HA owned PH units only. In accordance
with the regulatory agreement between the City of St. Louis Park and the PPL Louisiana Court Limited Partnership,
the HA provides annual operating subsidy to PPL in an amount equal to expenses minus revenues for the operation
of the twelve Metropolitan Housing Opportunity Program (MHOP) units. The regulatory agreement caps the
amount of subsidy provided to ensure that the PPL units do not receive a disproportionate amount of the subsidy
the HA receives from HUD. Subsidy for the MHOP units will be reflected as a single expense entry on the budget.
For FY 2025, the anticipated subsidy contribution is approximately $26,700. PPL submits an annual budget and
monthly financial reports for the HA’s review.
SUMMARY:
FY 2025 Operating Fund Proration Levels:
The actual amount of operating subsidy received could be greater or less depending on any changes to HUD
formula calculation as well as proration levels. Proration levels are based on total amount of operating subsidy
funding available in HUD’s budget for the FY and the total amount annual subsidy requested from HAs
administering PH programs.
Public Housing Operating Budget for FY 2025
Operating Subsidy: $339,000
HUD allocates operating subsidy on a calendar year basis. The operating subsidy calculation is formula based and
considers the total number, type and bedroom mix of the PH units owned by the HA and the amount of rent
revenue the HA collects annually. Utility costs are also taken into consideration. The 2025 operating subsidy
eligibility calculation is $339,000.
13
Total Revenues: $1,321,000
Total revenue including rents, interest, operating subsidy and other income is projected at $1,321,000 for FY 2025.
This is a 3.5% decrease compared to the 2024 budget revenue. It is estimated that the 2025 rental revenue will
come in higher than the 2024 budgeted amount, but the operating subsidy is nearly $100,000 lower than the
amount approved in the 2024 budget. The budget for 2025 does not include any capital fund (CFP) dollars
transferred into the operating fund because the PH current reserves can be accessed for operating fund purposes.
Total Operating Expenses: $1,370,889
Total routine operating expenditures for FY 2025 are projected at $1,370,889 which is a slight decrease from the
2024 budget due to less software expenses in 2025 and using capital funds for more contract costs in 2025.
Operating Income (Loss): ($49,899)
This year’s budget projects a budget deficit of $49,899. Although staff typically strive to present a balanced
budget, the budget presented is a reflection of anticipated decreased revenues and similar expenses for FY 2025.
Current reserves for the program exceed the recommended six months of operating expense which provides
adequate funding to cover the projected deficit. Although staff will continue to be fiscally conservative and identify
measures to cut costs wherever possible, it seems reasonable to spend reserve funds for program needs such as
the software conversion and avoid continued contributions to the reserve creating an excessive balance that could
be at risk of “recapture “by HUD.
Operating Reserves: $899,843 as of July 31, 2024
The operating reserve fund balance as of July 31, 2024 was $899,843. Six months of reserves is approximately
$690,000. A deficit for 2025 will get the reserve balance closer to the HUD guidelines of maintaining a six‐month
operating reserve. The HA will continue to monitor revenue and expenses to ensure that a healthy reserve is
maintained.
Housing Choice Voucher, Kids in the Park and Stable Home Budget
Operating budgets are not required by HUD for other programs such as the HCV program or other non‐HUD
programs; however, the development and approval of operating budgets is recommended as a best practice. HA
staff have prepared budgets for the Housing Choice Voucher, Kids in the Park and Stable Home programs for
admin only. The budget for these three programs is attached. Revenue is received through admin fees for each
assistance voucher that is in use.
Staff will review the budget in greater detail and answer questions at the board meeting.
NEXT STEPS:
It is recommended that the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners adopt Resolution No. 769 approving the
Public Housing Operating Budget for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025.

First Generation Wealth Building Homeownership Program
Program summary
Issue: It is recognized that historical and institutional racism has disproportionately created
housing challenges and disparities for Black communities, as well as members of communities
who did not identify as white, and other underserved low-income communities. Black/African
American people and households have historically been prohibited from purchasing and owning
a home due to redlining, block busting, racially restrictive covenants and decimation of Black
neighborhoods for “public purposes” such as freeways. Additionally, the income and education
gap between households of color and white households has resulted in difficulty for Black and
African American people and households of color to obtain a mortgage and subsequent on-
going housing stability issues. Due to this income gap and other social injustices, many
households of color have poor credit or no credit, making it even harder to get a mortgage or to
get a mortgage with a favorable interest rate. This program is designed to address these
historic injustices and inequities, to facilitate affordable homeownership and to provide a
means for wealth-building.
What: The city has designed a homeownership program designed to address these historic
injustices and inequities, to facilitate affordable homeownership and to provide a means for
wealth-building.
The goal is to address housing disparities; build power in communities most impacted by
housing challenges and disparities; pilot an innovative program to address housing challenge
for Black communities as well as members of communities who do not identify as white, and
other low-income communities; and support inclusive and equitable communities.

HOUSING AUTHORITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK Agenda Item #6d
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Meeting Date: December 11, 2024
TITLE: Bring it Home Rental Assistance Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff is seeking direction from the Board on the Bring it Home Rental
Assistance Program in preparation for the anticipated release of the Minnesota Housing Request for
Proposal (RFP) in January 2025.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Board have comments or direction regarding the Bring it Home
program?
SUMMARY:
The Minnesota Housing state rental assistance program, known as Bring it Home (BIH), will provide
tenant‐ and project‐based rental assistance for cost‐burdened households earning 50% area median
income (AMI) or less. The program is one of many new programs identified in the Minnesota 2023
Housing Bill. Funds are required to be prioritized for households earning under 30% AMI that include
children. The program is funded by $46 million in state appropriations and a regional sales tax in the
metro area. Grant agreements between Minnesota Housing and voucher administrators will be based
on a need formula.
Assistance will be provided equal to the difference between approximately 30% of adjusted household
income and the rent charged. An allowance for utilities may be added if not included in the rent.
Assistance will be based on 30% of a tenant’s gross income and household can be subsidized up to 120%
of the payment standard. Grant funds can be used for start‐up costs, rental assistance, admin fees and
landlord incentives.
As staff begin to prepare to respond to the RFP, there are a couple of considerations:
Program design
By statute, must prioritize households with children and incomes up to 30% AMI.
Can be up to 120% of the current payment standard.
Can use existing procedures or alternate procedures by choosing one of three options:
o Option 1 ‐ Existing procedures; may follow current Admin Plan
o Option 2 ‐ Amended HCV procedures; this option:
Will propose using the existing HCV policies and procedures with some
alternatives
Must reach the goal of reaching households most in need or incentivizing
landlords
Must be approved by Minnesota Housing
SLP staff currently recommend this option due to its administrative
efficiency. In addition, Minnesota Housing is considering a checklist for
35
preapproved items such as payment standard up to 120%, inspections and
criminal background checks.
o Option 3: Alternative plans
May propose to do something completely different than HCV
Funds must be used for rent assistance, admin fees and/or landlord
incentives
Additional requirements apply
Project based vouchers (PBV)
May use a portion or all of the funds for PBV
Not required to follow HUD’s PBV requirements
Must be used under Option 2 or Option 3
Minnesota Housing must approve Option 2 or Option 3
Policy considerations for board discussion:
Are there additional preferences the board would like to consider? The HCV program provides
preferences for residency, veterans and near elderly, elderly and disabled.
Should the payment standard be the same as the HCV payment standard or does the board want
staff to explore increasing the payment standard for the BIH program?
Does the board support the eliminating inspections for the BIH program? The Kids in the Park
program does not require inspections because of the city’s robust rental license program that
requires inspections of rental properties.
There is no limit in the BIH program on how many vouchers can be project‐based. Staff
recommend including the ability to project base up to 50% of the BIH vouchers.
NEXT STEPS
Staff will wait for the guidebook to be approved and released by MN Housing. Once the RFP is released,
staff will put together a proposal for board approval.
