Masterpiece on the Mississippi 2007-2012-2013 TO: Michael Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Erica Haugen, Acting Director, Housing & Community Development Dept. SUBJECT: Sale of City-owned property at 2249 Harold Street DATE: May 22, 2017 Introduction The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council set a Public Hearing for the purpose of disposing of City-owned real property located at 2249 Harold Street. Background The Housing & Community Development Department's Rehabilitation Program provides homeownership opportunities for low-and moderate-income households. Through the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Purchase/Rehab/Resale Program, the City acquires substandard properties and rehabilitates those homes for purchase by income qualified homeowners. The City strives to provide affordable homeownership opportunities throughout the City of Dubuque. This property is located outside of areas of high poverty concentration, as identified in the recently updated Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing. It will offer increased housing choice for the income-qualified buyer. Discussion The Rehabilitation Program uses multiple funding sources to provide affordable housing opportunities throughout the City. The CDBG and Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funding used to rehabilitate this property requires sale to an income-eligible household. NSP requires the property be sold to a household earning less than 50% area median income. NSP limits the sale price of the property to the appraised value or the actual rehabilitation costs, whichever is the lesser of the two. To ensure affordability for households under 50% area median income, the Rehabilitation Program seeks out multiple funding sources to help buyers finance their future home. Rachel Regan has made an offer to purchase the property at 2249 Harold Street for $148,000, in accordance with the value established by an independent appraiser. Ms. Regan has secured financing through a first mortgage with Dubuque Bank & Trust. Ms. Regan qualifies for loans through the Housing & Community Development Rehabilitation Program as follows: $401000 10-year forgivable loan from NSP,and; $251000 0% interest; deferred for five (5) years, then $60/month for 35 years from the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) Trust Fund Program. The financial assistance provided through the Rehabilitation Program will assist with down payment, closing costs, other related costs, or bringing down the first mortgage ensuring the long-term affordability of the home. Budget Impact CDBG Purchase/Rehab/Resale Program funds in the amount of$79,240 were utilized to purchase the property. Prior to work beginning on this property, a tree in the back of the property fell as a result of a storm, causing damage to the garage roof and the rear of the house. Original estimates proposed cosmetic upgrades as the property appeared structurally sound. Routine lead testing was performed. The siding, soffit, fascia, windows, walls, and additional interior surfaces tested positive for lead paint and require abatement, adding unanticipated cost. The Lead Hazard Reduction Program assisted with $14,150 towards the cost of abatement. During the rehabilitation, deteriorated sheeting, fascia boards and trusses were found around the entire house and garage. A basement wall fell away from the structure. The retaining wall and a large water cistern collapsed. Termite damage was found on the entire first floor and joists for second floor. (Pictures are attached) Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds in the amount of$32,328 were used to cover additional costs associated with structural and environmental deficits. The City received an additional $58,218 NSP funding from the Iowa Economic Development Authority (I EDA) to complete the project. NSP funding does not have to be repaid. All CDBG funds in the amount of$117,776 will be repaid at the time of sale. The amount to purchase and rehabilitate this property total $207,848. This amount includes the cost of lead paint abatement and all structural and environmental repairs required to bring the property to rehabilitation standards.

The volunteer team donated time and talent to landscape and install a small retaining wall on the property. Action Step I respectfully request City Council approve the attached resolution, declaring the City's intent to dispose of the property located at 2249 Harold Street and set a public hearing for June 19, 2017 to receive comments on the proposed sale.
