REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MINUTES March 9, 2020 PRESENT: Thomas Belter, Jack Bermingham Steve Hintz, Jason Lasky, Lori Palmeri Susan Panek EXCUSED: Archie Stam STAFF: Allen Davis, Executive Director/Community Development Director; Darlene Brandt, Grants Coordinator; Andrea Flanigan, Recording Secretary Chairperson Palmeri called the meeting to order at 4:00 pm. Roll call was taken and a quorum declared present. The minutes of January 15, 2020 and Closed Session January 15, 2020 were approved as distributed. (Belter/Panek). 20-06 Determination of Necessity; Establish Fair Market Value; Authorize Purchase of 706 South Main Street ($908,000) Motion by Belter to move Res. 20-06 Seconded by Lasky. Ms. Panek asked if the lot would be reconfigured and combined with the rest of the properties owned by the RDA. Mr. Davis stated it would be reconfigured once a development would be proposed for the sites. Ms. Panek questioned if the amount offered of $908,000 is the assessed or appraised value. Mr. Davis stated the assessed value is around $250,000 and the appraised value is approximately $450,000. The $908,000 is the appraised value, the relocation costs that Mr. Dumke incurred to move Lueck's to a new location and any attorney fees and costs associated with the acquisition and sale of the property. The acquisition and relocation costs would have been much higher for the City than for a private developer. Ms. Palmeri asked if there was a joint wall between Luecks and the bowling alley at 710 S. Main St. Mr. Davis stated there is a joint wall which was an issue for demolition. Acquiring Lueck's now would also save the City money on demolition that is already taking place at 43 E. 7t" Avenue. The crew is already on site and could finish demolition of the entire block at once if the acquisition is approved. Mr. Hintz arrived at 4:05 RDA Minutes March 9, 2020 Page 1 Ms. Panek asked about the fair market value of the property. Mr. Davis stated the price per square foot is similar to what the RDA has been paying for the surrounding properties. Ms. Palemri asked how much has been spent on acquisition for the 700 Block of S. Main St. since this is the last piece. Mr. Davis stated with this last piece acquisitions would be approximately $4 million for the 700 and 800 block of South Main St. Mr. Belter asked at what point do we know this is a good economic development move for the City. Mr. Davis stated that conversation would likely take place at a future meeting with the RDA. When the RDA releases the RFP for redevelopment of this site it will be important for the RDA to discuss recovering costs. Mr. Lasky asked how much value does staff think has been removed from the area between 6th and 1411, Avenue along Main Street. Is it $4 million out of $25 million in value? It is good to see these sites redeveloped but it is also taking money away from the TIF. Mr. Davis stated he did not have those numbers but could research. He stated a quick turn around and time horizon is critical for this site so costs can be recouped as soon as possible. Ms. Palmeri asked if there would be interest in the RFP. Mr. Davis stated he believes there will be interest. There was still a lot of unknowns the last time the RFP was released for this area. Now that the RDA is in control of Pioneer Drive and Decades property there should be more interest. Mr. Belter asked at what point will environmental work be completed. Mr. Davis stated the City was awarded an EPA grant that can be used on Phase I and Phase 11 environmental. There will be limited Phase I1's done on 43 E. 71h Avenue, the rest will wait until properties are developed. The item zvas called. Motion carried 6-0. There was no further discussion. The meeting adjourned at approximately 4:25 PM. (Belter/ Bermingham) Respectfully submitted, Allen Davis Executive Director RDA Minutes March 9, 2020 Page 2 REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN MARCH 18, 2020 20-07 RESOLUTION (APPROVED LOST LAID OVER WITHDRAWN ) PURPOSE: APPROVE SPOT BLIGHT DESIGNATION; APPROVE ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AT 1004 SOUTH MAIN STREET WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Oshkosh was created to assist in the elimination and prevention of blight and blighting influences and to promote urban renewal; and WHEREAS, the property at 1004 S. Main St. exhibits conditions cited under Section 66.1333 (2m)3.(bm) of the Wisconsin Statutes that consider said property to be blighted; and WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Authority has conducted a public hearing to obtain comments and determine if said property is blighted; and WHEREAS, the owner has offered the property at 1004 S. Main Street to the Redevelopment Authority in the amount of $119,000 plus closing costs. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Oshkosh that: 1. Findings and Determinations. It has been found and determined and is hereby declared that: (a) conditions of blight exist at the Property; and (b) the property is not within a designated redevelopment area but can be acquired if spot blighted by the Redevelopment Authority to eliminate slum and blight conditions in the neighborhood and within the Sawdust District; and (c) the existing structure may be leased for storage as a short term use, but the long term plan is to demolish the structure and the lot sold for future redevelopment; MARCH 18, 2020 20-07 RESOLUTION CONT'D (d) acquisition of the property and demolition of the structure is consistent with the vision, goals, objectives and policies contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan and Sawdust District Plan. 2. Spot Blight Designation. The Authority hereby finds that the Property is blighted in need of rehabilitation and blight elimination under the meaning in Section 66.1333 (2m)3.(bm) of Wisconsin Statutes. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the proper officials are hereby authorized and directed to purchase 1004 South Main Street in the amount of $119,000 plus closing costs and execute any and all documents necessary to consummate this transaction. Money for this purpose is hereby appropriated from City Capital Improvement Funds. TO: City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director DATE: March 12, 2020 SUBJECT: 20-07 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 1004 South Main Street ($119,000) Background The City was recently offered a vacant building at 1004 South Main Street. The recently adopted Sawdust District Plan identifies the Main Street corridor as a high -priority redevelopment site, with right of way widening and mixed use development goals. The property at 1004 South Main Street meets those criteria. Analysis The current owner does not occupy the building, nor is there any tenant. The current owner approached City staff with an interest in selling the property to the City for the assessed value of the property. City staff has completed a field inspection and recommends acquisition and eventual demolition. The roof is leaking in many locations, but storage could be considered as a short-term use. The long term plan for the property would be to land bank the property for the future redevelopment of the Main Street Corridor. The vacant building would remain with limited storage until the demolition of the property could be combined with other demolition of structures in the neighborhood. Fiscal Impact The RDA/City can use a portion of the $300,000 in 2020 Scattered -Site CIP funds for the acquisition. On -going maintenance of the parcel would cost about $500/year for snow removal. Recommendation The RDA approves the Spot Blight Designation and Approves the Acquisition of 1004 South Main Street for $119,000.

TO: City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director DATE: March 10, 2020 SUBJECT: 20-09 Approve Spot Blight Designation; Approve Acquisition of Property at 422 Otter Avenue ($15,000) Background The property at 422 Otter Avenue is under property maintenance raze orders by the City. The property is currently vacant and has not been maintained on the interior or exterior of the house for several years. The owner is willing to sell to the RDA for back taxes and special assessments which amounts to $15,000 plus closing costs. The property is in the River East Neighborhood Association. Analysis The house at 422 Otter Street is blighted and should be demolished. The Fair Market Value for the property is $99,000. The house is located in one of the lowest scoring blocks on the Quality of Life Map. The property and block score below average for condition, police calls and foreclosures. The house condition could be a contributing factor to the low score for the block. Removing the house will increase the block and neighborhood score. Fiscal Impact CDBG funds will be used for the acquisition and demolition tipping fees. There are adequate funds available for this type of blight removal project. Recommendation The RDA approves the Spot Blight Designation and approves the Acquisition of Property at 422 Otter Avenue for $15,000. ail C �r__ N 1 in=0.03mi 2�,)) J r r:1' r `1� tin=167ft City of Oshkosh maps and data are intended to be used for general identification purposes only, and the City of Oshkosh assumes no liability for the accuracy of the Printing Date: 3/6/2020 information.

MARCH 18, 2020 20-10 RESOLUTION CONT'D NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Oshkosh, that the City of Oshkosh 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, 2020 Annual Action Plan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice plan and the Citizens Participation Plan, all on file in the Community Development office, are hereby accepted; and the Redevelopment Authority requests that the Oshkosh Common Council support and approve of these Plans. ITEM: REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE OF 2020-2024 CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2020 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND CITIZENS PARTICIPATION PLAN ITEM: ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING CHOICE BACKGROUND The RDA is being asked to review and accept the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, 2020 CDBG Annual Action Plan, Citizens Participation Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice for the City's Community Development Block Grant Program. The City requested proposals and Urban Design Ventures from Pennsylvania was selected to assist in the development of these Plans. During the development of these Plans, numerous stakeholders were consulted through individual meetings, roundtable discussions, and phone calls. Additionally, the City developed an online resident survey on Survey Monkey and Polco, as well as a mailing campaign including a paper questionnaire in the City's water bills. There was a total of 1,159 responses, with a response rate just under 2%. ANALYSIS 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Every five years, the City is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan to assess our affordable housing, community development, economic development and strategic planning needs. These needs and priorities are then addressed annually through the submittal of the Annual Action Plan, which presents specific activities the City will accomplish with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Basic comments received from the on-line surveys and questionnaires, included: • Need for affordable housing • Need for living wage employment • Need for integrated housing and supportive service network • Need for improvements on fair housing reporting • Need for infrastructure improvements • Need for transportation improvements • Need for additional recreation facilities Based on all comments received to date, the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan proposes the following six strategies to address priority needs of low- to moderate -income persons and households in the community: 1) Housing Strategy: need for decent, safe, and sanitary housing that is affordable and accessible to homebuyers, homeowners and renters. 2) Homeless Strategy: need for housing, services and facilities for homeless persons and persons at -risk of becoming homeless. 3) Other Special Needs Strategy: need for housing, services and facilities for persons with special needs. 4) Community Development Strategy: need to improve community facilities, infrastructure, public services and quality of life in Oshkosh. 5) Economic Development Strategy: need to encourage employment and to promote economic opportunities in Oshkosh. 6) Administration, Planning and Management Strategy: need for planning, administration, management and oversight of federal, state, and local funded programs. Funding will be provided on a community wide basis but directed primarily to low and moderate income (LMI) populations, as well as within LMI census tracts and block groups. The City will use the Consolidated Plan's goals and strategies to allocate CDBG funds over the next 5 years as well as provide direction to partners collaborating on addressing the needs of LMI persons. 2015 Annual Action Plan Annually, the CDBG Action Plan is prepared to demonstrate how federal funds from HUD will be spent. Please refer to page 104 of the Consolidated Plan document for the 2020 Annual Action Plan. The 2020 Program Year runs from May 1 thru April 30. The 2020 CDBG entitlement allocation is $841,094 (see attached proposed budget). HUD regulations require that at least 70% of CDBG funds benefit LMI persons over a one to three year certification period. As proposed, over 70% of the 2020 CDBG funds subject to LMI benefit calculations will be expended on activities that benefit LMI persons. Staff is recommending that the City allocate $118,000 for public service activities and programs that will benefit LMI persons/households in the community. The Public Service allocation cannot represent no more than 15% of the total annual allocation, including previous years contract payments made after the end of the previous program year. Owner occupied housing improvement applications (non-public service) are due to the Community Development Department on March 16. These applications do not include first time homebuyer's assistance, emergency repairs or rehabilitation of rental properties. Non - Public Service allocations are included in the 70% of CDBG funds spent for LMI persons. Staff is recommending that the City allocate $205,094 for the owner occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program. A new housing code violation program recently approved by Council will allocate $50,000, and $200,000 is being allocated for the creation of new affordable rental units by a private developer. Remaining funding is recommended for Central City Redevelopment for removal of slum and blight ($150,000), Neighborhood Initiatives ($25,000) to make improvements to infrastructure in the public right-of-way, Fair Housing Activities ($19,000), and Administration ($74,000). CITIZENS PARTICIPATION PLAN As part of the development of a Consolidated Plan and Fair Housing Plan, HUD regulations 24 CFR Part 91.105, requires adoption of an updated citizen participation plan that at a minimum includes the following broad elements: • Description of the public participation process, including public hearings and public comment periods • Ensured opportunities for involvement of affected persons and other concerned citizens in the planning process • Transparency of the planning process and freedom of access to draft Plans • Instructions to guide the public's submission of comments and the standards for the grantee's response • Procedures for continuity of participation throughout all stages of the appropriate Plan's development The Citizen Participation Plan is a pathway for all citizens to exercise their voice and influence decisions that affect their community, neighborhoods and way of life. The Citizens Participation Plan, as proposed, meets or exceeds the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105. ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING As an entitlement community receiving CDBG funds, Oshkosh must demonstrate it is affirmatively furthering fair housing by conducting a Fair Housing Analysis which identifies any impediments to fair housing choice and what steps the city will take to address those impediments. The Fair Housing Act was originally passed in 1968 to protect buyers and renters from discrimination based on their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or familial status from sellers and landlords by making it unlawful to refuse the sale or rental of a property to persons included under the category of a protected class. The City's current Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice plan was approved in 2013 by the Plan Commission, Common Council and HUD. The proposed Al will outline progress made since the 2013 Plan, explore the continuation of impediments where necessary, and identify any new impediments to fair housing choice. This new AI Plan is designed to act as a planning tool, providing Oshkosh with the necessary framework to strategically reduce any identified impediments to fair housing choice over the next 5 years and continue to make modifications based on events and activities in the community during this time period. In the preparation of the proposed Fair Housing Plan, staff and the City's consultant reviewed the most recent demographic data for the area from the US Census Bureau, US Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Housing Authority's Five Year and Annual Public Housing Action Plan, and conducted one on one interviews and round table discussions with various City and County Departments, the Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority, community, social service and advocacy agencies, and included fair housing questions on the SurveyMonkey and Polco citizens surveys. Based on available data, public input and research, the consultant identified four impediments to Fair Housing Choice in Oshkosh, as well as defined specific goals and strategies to address each impediment. Impediment 1• Need for fair housing education and outreach. Goal: Improve the public's knowledge and awareness of the Fair Housing Act, related laws, regulations and requirements. Strategies to address: a) educate residents; b) educate realtors, bankers, housing providers, and others of their responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act and Americans with Disabilities Act; c) educate policy makers and city staff; d) support fair housing organizations and legal advocacy groups to assist persons who may be victims of housing discrimination; e) identify the language and communication needs of LEP persons; f) continue to partner with regional jurisdictions and housing providers to encourage fair housing choices. Impediment 2: Need for affordable housing Goal: Increase supply of decent, safe, and sanitary housing that is affordable and accessible through new construction and rehabilitation of various types of housing, especially for LMI households. Strategies to address: a) support and encourage private developers and non-profit housing providers to construct or rehab affordable and mixed -income housing; b) support and encourage rehabilitation of existing renter occupied and owner occupied housing units for households below 80% AMI; c) support homebuyer education, training programs and down payment assistance to increase number of owner occupied housing units; d) provide federal, state and local funding in response to HMDA data discrimination patterns to support higher loan to value ratios for minority homebuyers; e) create data base of decent, safe and sanitary housing that is affordable and accessible for households below 80% AMI. Impediment 3: Need for accessible housing Goal: Increase supply of accessible housing through new construction and rehabilitation for persons with disabilities. Strategies to address: a) promote need for accessible and visitable housing by support and encouraging private develop0ers to develop, construct, or rehab housing that is accessible to persons with disabilities; b) provide financial assistance for accessibility improvements to renter - occupied and owner -occupied housing units to enable seniors and persons with disabilities to remain in their homes; c) promote and enforce ADA and Fair Housing requirements for landlords to make 'reasonable accommodations' to their rental properties so units are accessible to tenants. Impediment 4: Public Policy Goal: Revise the City Zoning Ordinance to promote the development of various types of affordable housing throughout the City. Strategies to address: a) revise the Zoning Ordinance to include additional definitions, statements and revisions; b) Adopt a written Reasonable Accommodation Policy for housing developers and the Planning/Commission Commissions to follow when reasonable accommodation requests are made concerning zoning and land use as it applies to protected classes under the Fair Housing Act; c) develop financial incentives to encourage developers and housing providers to offer more affordable housing options in the City; d) encourage LMI, minorities and protect class resident participation in various City Boards/Commissions. Final Step The City is accepting public comments on these Plans until April 6, 2020. A summary of all comments received by the City will be included with each respective Plan as an exhibit.
