Also present were City Attorney Kurt Glaser, Mark Statz of Bonestroo & Assoc. The Council discussed the possibility of adopting a deferment policy for assessments to senior citizens. A lot of discussion centered on whether to charge interest during the deferment period. Some expressed that the other taxpayers should not have to subsidize the interest on the properties that were deferred. Consensus was that interest should accrue during the deferment period. Staff will prepare a draft ordinance for Council consideration. Administrator Larson reported that the mailed hearing notices for the 2009 Street Project will be going out very soon. The appraiser hired by the City has confirmed that the estimated assessments are generally in line with the likely increase in value to the properties. Most properties will get a notice showing an estimated assessment estimate that is noticeably lower that the numbers provided at the public input, open house meetings. Due to the late hour, the Council determined to defer discussion on other items on the work session agenda. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:45 p.m. Dallas Larson, Administrator CITY OF CENTERVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING April 9, 2008 6:30 p.m. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City of Centerville held their regularly scheduled meeting on April 9, 2008, at City Hall, 1880 Main Street.

He noted the State requires values to be between 90-105% of their value and this year, the County is at 94.26% overall. Mayor Capra stated that during the Board of Appeal and Equalization hearing, the Council will be in session but will not be conducting any business.

He indicated that an open house meeting occurred on March 27th in order to answer questions and collect feedback from residents. He stated that at the time of the open house, staff learned that the City received a grant for the building and improvement of the trail network; as a result, some changes have been made to the trail map. Discussion ensued regarding the trail map. Mr. Slotterback stated that he will work on getting the trail map updated and in final form before any further distribution occurs. Page 4 of 10 City of Centerville Council Meeling Minutes April 9, 2008 Mr. Slotterback stated that on April I st, the Planning Commission met and discussed the property at 6882 and 6892 Centerville Road; this property was previously guided as high density residential and it is recommended that it be changed to low density. He indicated that there were previous discussions about having this property used for senior housing and if the property remains guided as high density residential and a developer comes in that meets the code for an allowable use, any development would need to be approved.

He explained that these parties have up to six months to review the Plan and submit comments to the City; after the review, the comments and responses sent by the City must all be sent to the Met Council along with the Comprehensive Plan.

Mayor Capra stated that Unique Identifying Number 6-4 relative to the municipal street sweeping program states that city streets are swept twice each year and on an "as-needed" basis. She stated that the City actually only performs street sweeping once per year and asked if the document should be changed to reflect that.

All Committee/Commission Meeting Review Mayor Capra expressed her thanks to all who participated in the committee/commission meeting and felt it was worthwhile to hold the meeting. 3. Protocol Mayor Capra stated that she has asked City Administrator Larson to research and provide information to the Council regarding open mike or open forum and to have the Council give consideration to adding an open mike/open forum at each City Council meeting. Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that she was under the impression that if somebody wishes to be heard at a meeting, the Council is fairly informal about this and typically allows anybody to speak at meetings. City Attorney Glaser stated that the Mayor has the authority but is not required to listen to a resident at a Council meeting, or the Council can overrule the mayor. Councilmember Lee stated that he would like to know the resident's reason for addressing the Council before the Council convenes. Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that she would prefer to keep the process more informal. Councilmember Lee stated that he felt there should be some guidelines in place about what types of issues can be brought up during an open mike session. Mayor Capra stated that Lino Lakes does not air the open mike portion of their meetings, and the Council provides 10 minutes for this section of the meeting, allowing two minutes per person. She added that most cities have an open mike section on their agenda where the citizens can be heard, and she would like to have staff review it and provide the Council with more information. She stated it is important that residents feel they are being heard and an open mike session would provide a means for residents to address the Council in an informal fashion. UDdates Councilmember Broussard-Vickers reported that at the last Planning Commission meeting, they discussed the Comprehensive Plan and ordinance enforcement. She also suggested that Council should hold a workshop about enforcement in the near future. Councilmember Paar reported that the Fire Steering Committee has not met for awhile. Page 9 of 10 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 9, 2008 City Administrator Larson stated that the Fire Steering Committee will be meeting soon and staff is in the process of recruiting and hiring a new Fire Chief to replace the retiring Fire Chief. He added that there will be a meeting scheduled soon for the Fire Steering Committee. Councilmember Lee reported that the Police Commission will be meeting next week. City Engineer Statz presented a diagram for the proposed decorative concrete project and a color rendering of the sidewalk plan. He stated that the contractor will make three yards of concrete for each color for the downtown streetscape and rather than waste the leftover concrete, it is proposed that it be used at City Hall. He explained that the sidewalk will be expanded from the existing area and will require some additional curb cuts for the handicapped parking stalls. In addition, he stated that there will be some planting areas added to avoid having a path beaten into the ground. He asked if the Council wanted the decorative sidewalk extended to the south end of the parking lot. It was the consensus of the City Council to end the sidewalk treatment as depicted on the drawing and to not extend it. City Engineer Statz stated that staff will work with the contractor to obtain a price for additional work associated with the decorative sidewalk and will come back to the City Council with the cost. Councilmember Broussard-Vickers slated that if the City is going to incur additional cost to do the inset on the decorative sidewalk, she would prefer to remove the smaller area done in color. City Engineer Statz stated that the design is intended to mimic the pattern in the downtown area and they will work with the contractor to ensure that it can be done effectively. It was the consensus of the City Council to approve the design for the decorative concrete, subject to final approval ofthe cost. X.

L~~ MINNESOTA em ES ~-&~c;liwmk9?~ CITY OF CENTERVILLE ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE # SECOND SERIES AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CENTERVlLLE CITY CODE BY INSERTING CHAPTER 33 RELATING TO DEFERRMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS. THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE ORDAINS: Section 1. The City Code is hereby amended by inserting Chapter 33 as follows: CHAPTER 33: SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS 33.01 Deferment ofSpeeial Assessments for Senior Citizens. A. The Council may defer the payment of any special assessment on homestead property owned by a person who is 65 years of age or older, or who is retired by virtue of permanent and total disability, and the Clerk is hereby authorized to record the deferment of special assessments where the following conclitions are met: 1. The applicant must apply for the deferment within ninety days of when the assessment is adopted by the Council. 2. The applicant must be 65 years of age, or older, or retired by virtue of permanent and total disability. 3. The applicant must be the owner of the property. 4. The applicant must occupy the property as hislher principal place of residence. s. The applicant's household income from all sources shall not exceed the low income limit as established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development as used in determining the eligibility for Section VIII housing. B. The deferment shall be granted for as long a period of time as the hardship exists and the conditions as aforementioned have been met. However, it shall be the duty of the applicant to notifY the Clerk of any change in hislher status that would affect eligibility for deferment. Interest shall accrue during the deferment period at the same rate that was established by the resolution adopting the special assessment. C. The entire amount of deferred special assessments (including accumulated interest) shall be due within sixty days after loss of eligibility by the applicant. If the special assessment is not paid within sixty days, the Clerk shall add thereto interest at 8% per annum from the due date through December 31 of the following year and the total amount of principal and interest shall be certified to the County Auditor for collection with taxes the following year. Should the applicant plead and prove, to the satisfaction of the Council, that full repayment of the deferred special assessment would cause the applicant particular undue financial hardship, the Council may order that the applicant pay within sixty days a sum equal to the number of installments of deferred special assessments outstanding and unpaid to date (including principal and interest) with the balance thereafter paid according to the terms and condi- tions of the original special assessment. D. The option to defer the payment of special assessments shall terminate and all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest shall become due upon the occurrence of anyone of the following: 1. The death of the owner when there is no spouse who is eligible for deferment. 2. The sale, transfer or subdivision of all or any part of the property. 3. Loss of homestead status on the property. 4. Determination by the Council for any reason that there would be no hardship to require inunediate or partial payment. Section 2. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its passage and publication according to law. ADOPTED this _ day of April, 2008 by the City Council of the City of Centerville.

Va{[as Larson, flaministrator City of Cente-rvilIe 651-429-3232 -----Original Message----- From: Paul Palzer [mailto:PPalzer@centervillemn.com] Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 12:02 PM To: dlarson@centervillemn.com Subject: Tracie McBride Park Improvements Hello Dallas - I have received quotes to perform the upgrade work at Tracie McBride Park. The rehab work to the existing play structure will be performed by Earl F. Anderson. The new equipment and relocation of existing equipment will be performed by Game Time. I have a quote for the balance of the site and border work from AJ Ross Concrete & Masonry which will include a curving and colored concrete border which is an enhancement from the original design. The price is within the budgeted amount for the work and originally the public works staff with the seasonal help were going to perform some of these items, but with being short staffed and the desire to have the playground work completed by June 15"', we need to contract out the entire project. The play equipment contractors will be starting within the next few weeks and some site work will need to be completed before they can install the equipment. I'm requesting that the Council approve the work for these three contractors for the proposed amounts not to exceed the budgeted amounts for each phase of the work. Paul 4/18/2008 MEMO TO COUNCIL: Staff has checked with neighboring communities including, Columbus, Circle Pines, Forest Lake, Hugo, White Bear Lake, Ham Lake, Lino Lakes, Wyoming and Vadnais Heights, and it appears that all have some time on the agenda for public comments on items not on the agenda Many have no fonnal policy.

The first is the $10,000.00 escrow which was established with the final plat of Pheasant Marsh 3" Addition. Now that the project is accepted and the warranty bond put in place we request the $10,000.00 be returned to Ground Development, Inc. The second item is in regard to the trunk water main over sizing in Pheasant Marsh 3" Addition. The Cities contribution for the difference between the 8" pipe and the installed 12" pipe is $12,991.30. This reimbursement price has been reviewed by Mark Statz and our engineer and approved by the City in October of 2006. Ground Development, Inc. requested this reimbursement on October 9, 2006 and has yet received payment. The last item outstanding is the last invoice for utility and street inspections. This invoice amount is $9,466.38. To settle the outstanding financial obligation if we deduct the iast City invoice of $9,466.38 the city of Centerville still owes Ground Development, Inc. 13,524.92. Please review and schedule for the next available City Council meeting for payment authorization.

Many bills addressing the issue passed in 2007, and several more have been introduced this year. The League of Minnesota Cities has been actively involved in seeking solutions. ver the last couple of years, Minnesota-along with many other states-has seen a surge in the number of mortgage fore- closures.Years of double-digit property valuation increases and an unchecked lending market led many individuals to buy homes before they could afford them_With dreams of homeowners hip, people jumped into loans with prom- ises of little or no money down and mortgage payments comparable to rent. Demand for loans with adjustable rates grew. Many of these adjustable rate mortgages consisted of low introduc- tory interest rates, which would adjust after two to five years. A majority of these loans were originated between 2001 and 2006, which means the intro- ductory rates are expiring, loans are adjusting to higher rates, and borrowers are defaulting. Foreclosed properties have wide- reaching effects on communities, Neighborhoods with vacant foreclosed properties otten experience an increase in crime, exposure to public safety and health concerns, and the blight left by these abandoned homes. Legislative response The Minnesota Legislature enacted sev- eral new laws in 2007 meant to protect borrowers, address predatory lenders, and curtail the growth of mortgage foreclosures. These new laws, which took effect on August 1, 2007, are in Minnesota Session Laws 2007, Chapters 18 and 106. Under the new laws, mortgage orig- inators must verify a borrower's ability 6 By Hue Nguyen to repay a loan and act in a borrower's best interest. The new laws also prohibit negatively amortized loans, churning of loans, subprime prepayment penalties, and partial payment quotes. An origi- nator must be a business and maintain approval from either the U.S. Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Devel- opment (HOD) or Fannie Mae. An originator must also have a tangible net worth of $250,000 and possess a surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of$50,000. Modifications were made to the mortgage foreclo- sure process and clarified compliance requirements. Even with the 2007 laws, more action is needed to deal with the impact of mortgage foreclosures. This issue continues to be a priority for offi- cials at the state, local, and federal levels. Current state legislative efforts The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) has actively participated and lent support to many of the foreclo- sure assistance bills introduced in the Minnesota Legislature during the 2008 session. Many of the proposals were brought forth by a foreclosure working group, a group of stakeholders called together by Rep.Joe Mullery (DFL- Minneapolis) last summer. Mullery rep- resenrs North Minneapolis, an area hit particularly hard by foreclosures. The working group consisted of a diverse group of local government representa- tives, including LMC, housing advocacy groups, real estate associations, banking associations, and elected officials, The working group divided into smaller groups to address issues such as pre-foreclosure remedies, tenants' rights, MINNESOTA CITIES local ordinances and vacancies, data pri- vacy, and civil and criminal enforce- ment. Almost a dozen bills have been introduced as a result of the group's work-as well as one bill that did not come from the working group_ Four proposals would specifically affect cities. Addressing vacant homes Cities are expending a lot of resources to address vacant and abandoned prop- erties. City officials and League staff participated in me vacancy working group. The existing foreclosure process prohibits lenders from entering prop- erties during the redemption period. As a result vacant homes sit for months until the end of the redemption period. The vacancy working group proposed reducing the redemption period to five weeks in some cases. SF 2918 (Sen. Linda Higgins, DFL-Minneapolis) and HF 3474 (Rep. Debra Hilstrom, DFL-Brooklyn Center) would allow lenders to use a five-week redemption period when a property is known to be abandoned or vacant. This will allow lenders to obtain ownership sooner and possibly rehabilitate and sell the home sooner. Collecting data The data collection working group learned that homeowner and lending information is often not available to foreclosure counselors, making it dif- ficult to help hOn'leowners in need. In addition, the working group determined a need for a statewide database of com- prehensive mortgage foreclosure infor- mation to allow for analysis and tracking of foreclosures throughout the state. APRIL 2008 Based on these concerns, Sen. Ann Rest (DFL-New Hope) and Rep.Jim Davnie (DFL-Minneapolis) introduced SF 2914 and HF 3516, which require more comprehensive data on notices of pendency, including the street address, name of the lender, and whether the property is owner-occupied, renter- occupied, or commercial. The bills also create a group to study the develop- ment of a statewide foreclosure collec- tion and reponing s,ystem. Preventing foreclosures Outreach and intervention services can be effective tools for homeowners. However, they are only successful if homeowners are connected with them early on. Based on recommendations of the foreclosure prevention working group, Sen. Linda Scheid (DFL-Brook- lyn Park) and Rep. Mullery introduced SF 2912 and HF 3475 to make the foreclosure process easier for home- owners to understand. The bills make foreclosure prevention counseling notices available to homeowners, and change the process for redemption and sheriff's sales. Sen. Ellen Anderson (DFL-St. Paul) and Rep. Oavnie are proposing a one- year subprime mortgage deferment. Titled the "Minnesota Subprime Foreclosure Deferment Act of 2008," SF 3396 and HF 3612 would allow borrowers who obtained either a sub- prime loan or a loan with a negative amortization betwe'enJanuary 1,2001, and August 1,2007, to defer the fore- closure for up to one year. "A number of proposals have been introduced to give homeowners new tools to prevent foreclosure," Anderson said in a press release. uThe deferment option sim- ply allows them additional time to put those tools to good use." Under this proposal, borrowers would still have to make monthly pay- ments, but they'd pay the less of either 65 percent of their current montWy payment or the minimum monthly payment they had when they first got the loan. The League supports the con- cept of a one-year deferment on sub- prime mortgage foreclosures. This would allow homeowners more time to work out an agreement with lend- ers, while staying in their homes and remaining active in their communities. APRIL 2008 Cities take action, too Cities have also taken action to help homeowners stay in their homes and ward off problems associated with foreclosures. For example, Brooklyn Park, which has the second-highest number of fore- closed homes in Hennepin County, has created a comprehensive strategy to pre- vent foreclosures as well as to specifi- cally address issues that arise during the foreclosure process. The city's strategy focuses on prevention, identifying vacant and foreclosed properties, and rehabili- tating properties. With these initiatives, Brooklyn Park hopes to reduce the number of foreclosures and, when they do happen, to preserve the homes so they can quickly be sold to new owners. Similarly, Oakdale officials have an action plan to address the problem. The city has had almost a 100 percent increase in the number of foreclosed properties from 2006 to 2007. Its efforts will concentrate on education and pre- vention, home rehabilitation, and moni- toring foreclosed homes. City staff will collect data regarding foreclosures and share it with Oakdale police, fire, and code enforcement staff to coordinate their efforts. Through efforts like this, cities can help combat this problem while pre- serving the viability and safety of their communities. Federal government initiatives At the federal level, President Bush announced the HOPE NOW Alliance, which sets up industry-wide stand- ards to provide systematic relief by either refmancing loans or freezing interest rates. Borrowers can visit www.hopenow.com or call (800) 995-4673 for information. Through the creation of the HOPE NOW Alliance, six of the major lenders who hold 50 percent of mortgages in the United States have agreed to par- ticipate in Project Lifeline. This calls for lenders to voluntarily provide a 30-day pause on foreclosures for homeowners who are at least 90 days behind on pay- ments. The goal is to give borrowers a chance to work out new terms with their lenders. Recent reports on these two initiatives have been mixed. Critics say the programs have not reached as many people as intended. MINNESOTA CITIES The crisis isn't over yet It's likely that the full ramifications of the subprime market and subsequent foreclosures have not fully played out. Thousands of subprime mortgages are scheduled to reset in the next 18 months. Many cities are already seeing the effects foreclosure are having on their neighborhoods and addressing them accordingly. The League encour- ages cities that are not already facing problems related to foreclosed and vacant properties to proactively address foreclosures by working with lenders and homeownership counselors, and rehabilitating deteriorated homes. ...

STAGGERING FORECLOSURE STATS According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures are the highest since the group began coUecting dala in 1979. RealryTrac, which tracb foreclosures nationwide, reponed that foreclosures affected 1.3 million properties in 2007. It is estimated that 1 percent of all U.S. households nationwide were in some stage of foreclosure during 2007. The situation in Minnesota is not any bener. HousingLink, a Twin Cities-based organization that specializes in the collection and discribution of affordable housing information, reported 6,466 sheriff sales in Minnesota in 2005. Sheriff saIes in 2007 are estimated at 20,573--a 218 percent increase. If current trends continue. foreclosures in 2008 could reach as many as 30,000. In 2007, according to the MinnesOta Housing Finance Agency, the seven- counry metro area suffered from 13,000 foreclosures, and 8,000 of them occurred in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. The foreclosures seem to be concen- trated in certain zip codes. In the 10 zip codes with the most foreclosures, there are 6.900 owner-occupied homes with subprime loans, and 24 percent of those loans are delinquent or in foreclosure. 7 ~ Metropolitan Council To: From: Date: Re: Local Officials Libby Starling, Metropolitan Council Research Manager April 10, 2008 Population/Household Estimates Workshops Please join the Metropolitan Council for a workshop to learn more about its methodology for estimating current local populations and households. Each year since 1971, the Metropolitan Council estimates the current population and household counts for each of the 186 cities and townships within the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area. The Council's model, revised in 2006 in consultation with demographers from the University of Minnesota's Minnesota Population Center, incorporates annual updates of housing unit inventory, occupancy rates and household sizes. To ensure that the local governments understand the Council's population and household estimates, the Council invites you or your representatives to attend one of three sessions of a workshop where Council Research staff will present its approach: . Wednesday, April 30, I :30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. . Monday, May 12, 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. . Tuesday, May 13, 1 :30 p.m. to 3 :00 p.m. Workshop participants will learn the methodology behind the Council's model, preparing them to receive their own community's estimates at the end of May. Workshops will be held at the Metropolitan Council central office at 390 North Robert Street in downtown St. Paul. For directions and information on nearby parking options, visit the Council's website at www.metrocouncil.orgfabout/LocationDirectionsMaD.htm. Please contact Deb Conley at Debbie.Conlev@metc.state.rnn.us or 651- 602-1335 by April 25 if you plan to attend one of these three sessions. We look forward to seeing you!
