Commissioner Irving moved to accept the proposal received by Michael Wilder, but after further discussion, removed his motion from the table. Ed Munn from EM Excavating appeared before the EDA, requesting the EDA's consideration of allowing an existing home to be moved onto the lot. Commissioner Meintsma suggested that Mr. Munn meet with staff to discuss code requirements and possibly make recommendations to be considered at the next EDA meeting. Commissioner Joselyn moved to reject the proposal received from Michael Wilder to purchase property at 5109 50th Ave. N. Commissioner Meintsma seconded the motion. Motion carried. Staff was directed to place consideration of readvertising the lot for sale at 5109 50th Ave. N. on the March EDA agenda.

Staff recommended that the EDA authorize staff to proceed with the purchase of property at 3557 June Ave. N. from the Veteran's Administration for $22,000 as part of the CDBG Scattered Site Acquisition Program. Julie Jones explained that the EDA would need to meet the one-for-one replacement requirements on this property since it has not been vacant for more than one year, which could possibly be accomplished through the MHFA Blighted Properties Program. Commissioner Grimes moved to approve the execution of a Purchase Agreement with the Veteran's Administration for the price of $22,000 to purchase property at 3557 June Ave. N. Commissioner Meintsma seconded the motion. Motion carried. Julie Jones explained the EDA's opportunity to submit a proposal for funding to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency through it's new Blighted Residential Property Acquisition and Rehabilitation Program. Ms. Jones briefly explained the program and staff's intent to apply for funds under a joint arrangement with three other cities to possibly use a common developer, relocation company, and mortgage lending institution. She explained that the deadline to apply is January 31, 1992, and in order for staff to submit a proposal for funding, the EDA needed to designate a neighborhood suitable for the program. Ms. Jones recommended the area of Crystal east of Highway 100 as the most suitable for this program.

Staff reported that the EDA had offered to sell the property for $1.83/sq. ft., which would cover the acquisition and replatting costs of the lot. Accepting the $1.50/sq, ft. purchase price, would mean the EDA would need to cover the payback expense of an additional $2,224 to HUD out of City funds. Since there was debate about an appropriate sale price for the property, staff suggested that the EDA could completely cover the HUD repayment obligations through a purchase price of $1.73/sq. ft.

The Crystal EDA, therefore, needs to pay a processing fee of $400 to MHFA. The original deposit check of $40,000 submitted with the application she explained, had been returned to the City, and a new deposit for 1% of the new allotment amount need to be submitted to MHFA by May 11.

The other adjoining homeowner, she explained, had indicated that he would possibly be willing to purchase the entire section of the lot that the EDA wishes to sell, but had not submitted a written offer, as suggested. Staff then recommended that no action be taken towards replatting the property at this time. Jerry Dulgar, Executive Director, warned that it could be dangerous for the EDA to allow Mr. Pals to purchase both sections of the lot at 4307 Xenia Ave. N. since a dispute between him and the other adjoining neighbor could result during later resale.
