The amendment keeps anticipated rent revenue of $84,879.96 for the center while staff completes a broader lease and market analysis.

Corey Camp, chief financial officer for Anoka County, told trustees that recent issues with DEED’s use of rooms had been resolved after discussions with county administration and DEED. “We have resolved those issues. They will go back to using the rooms the way we wanted them to prior to two or three weeks ago,” Camp said. He described the one-year extension as a pause that allows staff to finish a market study and present a recommended plan for Blaine Human Services Center rents and agreements.

Trustees expressed appreciation for staff work in resolving the short-term concerns and for allowing time to complete the market analysis. After a motion and a second, the board conducted a roll-call vote; trustees recorded unanimous support for the extension.

Staff said the extension is intended to bridge operations while the county completes an evaluation of all leases and determines a longer-term pricing and operations plan for the Blaine facility. No additional financial commitments beyond the cited rent revenue figure were approved at the meeting.","The HRA approved a one-year lease amendment (No. 7) to contract C0005807 with the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, keeping rent revenue of $84,879.96 for the Blaine Human Services Center while staff completes a market study and lease analysis.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6223841,"Anoka County HRA authorizes negotiations on $1.5 million to help developer compete for low‑income housing tax credits",803,102000,905000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3562052-b0a063db1631e4306d8e96552329be26&start=102&end=905","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3562052-b0a063db1631e4306d8e96552329be26/thumbnail_102000.jpg","/articles/6223841/Anoka-County/Minnesota/Anoka-County-HRA-authorizes-negotiations-on-15-million-to-help-developer-compete-for-lowincome-housing-tax-credits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6223841-32fc3b3aee248a5c71c8da214cbd5ebf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150663&Signature=CQRIcXx2jr~8tIIXYICU-zFgo5N5i9GQ2oPxAQ4z8cG4PMpDaDAYQsOWmk1JVV1ctsMPuVyDItiLGMwy972ibWHkSoQSNzhTn7c9WV7wnh-XQXe4Gp3M0ChaFMVz-icf~y59dokR-8tEHI1KGTGCz9Arepj5NeQTK2jv-yxtVHHNW5yehIWBdQoOEzJnNT7mlR16008VpH1pV8Corc1o~gObzB0vLxry5yfK8tUURSDCERhWP1g2O3HA1Iu~3eNWE5gI6nRgXHRsK8VOONFpbuwK7OOtqYR7AH98MfSD5siimg7KdWKuwWJU509mtwVaEgvBORf9Gm~dMh4XvDHGew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On an unknown date, the Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority voted 4-2 to authorize its executive director to negotiate the potential purchase of a parcel using up to $1,500,000 in Local Affordable Housing Aid and associated HOME funds to support a developer’s Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) application.

The action gives staff authority to pursue a two-part approach: buy the property as the HRA using previously authorized HOME funds and, if appropriate, consider providing additional funding from the Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) allocation so the developer can increase its competitive scoring in Minnesota’s LIHTC round scheduled in July. The HRA emphasized the funding is conditional — the dollars would not be spent into the purchase price if Minnesota Housing does not award tax credits to the project.

HRA staff described the request as two related asks from the developer: one to use existing HOME-authorized funds to purchase the parcel and donate it to the developer, and a second potential grant or award from LAHA to supplement the application. “They want us to do those things for them so that they can get additional points, hopefully, get additional points in the low income housing tax credit round that’s coming up in July,” HRA staff member Tanya said during the meeting. Tanya added that LAHA is a metro-wide sales tax distribution and not county levy or general taxpayer dollars.

Trustees split on the proposal. Trustee Meissner described the motion as “allowing them to compete” in the competitive LIHTC process and praised the approach as an opportunity to bring a substantial affordable housing development to Anoka County. Trustee Schulte said she was uncomfortable with using HRA funds to “dance around the edges” of the LIHTC scoring system and opposed the action, arguing the county should pursue solutions that meet a program’s stated criteria rather than adapting projects to the scoring rules.

County staff also cautioned that the state’s point system heavily weights transit access — specifically, points are awarded for sites served by bus lines at roughly 15-minute frequencies — a requirement the county does not control and that may limit where projects can score highly. Staff said if Minnesota Housing does not award credits, the developer will likely walk away and the HRA’s authorization would be moot.

The roll-call vote recorded Trustee Reinert, Trustee Jepsen, Trustee Meissner and Trustee Heinrich as voting yes; Trustee Brasstead and Trustee Schulte voted no. The motion passed 4-2. The HRA’s authorization allows staff to negotiate and, if necessary, return with finalized agreements or additional details for the board.

The decision does not obligate the HRA to spend the full $1.5 million; staff said the final award amount could be less depending on underwriting and other financing secured by the developer. The board discussed pursuing a legislative strategy later to address perceived structural scoring issues in Minnesota Housing’s pointing system.","The Anoka County HRA voted 4-2 to authorize staff to negotiate use of up to $1.5 million in Local Affordable Housing Aid and related HOME funds to support a developer’s upcoming Low Income Housing Tax Credit application; funding and purchase are conditional on a Minnesota Housing award.","actionData","errors"]
