<br /> <br />Authority <br /> <br />Available to <br /> <br />The Area <br /> <br />Improvements <br /> <br />Fees <br /> <br />Bonds <br /> <br />:. <br /> <br />Housing Improvement Areas <br /> <br />~, <br />, <br /> <br />In 1995, Ehlers helped the City of Hopkins established and finance <br />the State's first housing improvement area under special legislative <br />authority. These powers have now been granted to all cities in the <br />State. The housing improvement area is a powerful tool for <br />addressing local housing needs. This summary highlights the key <br />aspects of the housing improvement area. <br /> <br />Minnesota Statutes Section 428A.11 through 428A.21. Sunset <br />provision requires special legislation to establish an Area after <br />June 30, 2001. <br /> <br />Cities <br /> <br />The housing improvement area is modeled, after the special <br />service district: It is a defined area within a community. <br />Within this area, the City is authorized to undertake and <br />finance specified activities related to owner-o(;.c~'pie.d housing. <br /> <br />Housing improvement areas can be used to undertake a wide <br />range of activities to meet local housing needs. The discretion <br />for specifying improvements lies with the City. The enabling <br />ordinance for each Area will define eligible improvements. <br /> <br />To finance these activities, the City can impose a "fee" on <br />properties within the housing improvement area. The fee can <br />be based on tax capacity and act like a property tax. The fee <br />can also be imposed on any other basis determined as <br />appropriate by the City. <br /> <br />The City can also levy special assessments to finance housing <br />improvements. <br /> <br />The City can issue general obligation bonds to finance eligible <br />activities. Fee revenues from the Area are used to pay debt <br />service on the bonds. It is likely that the bonds will not be <br />tax-exempt. <br /> <br />Continued Q" <br /> <br />;e-.....:+. ,-~ i <br />
