TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council

DATE: June 5, 2018
RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize Redevelopment Authority to
Acquire 1302 Eastman Street ($38,000) (RDA Recommends Approval)
BACKGROUND
The property owner has become incapacitated and unable to maintain the house. The owner
now lives in an assisted care facility. The property was offered to the City and based on City
inspection, the house can be rehabilitated. The RDA could decide to acquire and offer to GO-
HNI or authorize city staff to proceed with the rehabilitation.
ANALYSIS
The property is currently assessed at $102,100. However, based on a recent site inspection, the
City Assessor will lower the value to $42,000. The rehabilitation is projected to cost about
$100,000. In order to bring the property back to assessed value, and break even on the project,
the property acquisition would have to be $38,000. The owner has accepted staff's offer of
$38,000 with the condition that the RDA and City Council approve the acquisition.
FISCAL IMPACT
The acquisition of the property for $38,000 could make a rehabilitation project feasible. The City
blight removal program could break-even if the home was rehabbed and would generate more
taxable value on the parcel than currently exists. There would be some carrying costs,
depending on how long the rehabilitation and sale took.

Staff will be coordinating with the new GO-HNI Executive Director and the GO-HNI Board in
order to determine if the rehab project will fit the GO-HNI criteria for a rehab project. GO-HNI
has expressed interest in receiving one house per year for rehab and sale for blight removal and
neighborhood revitalization efforts. GO-HNI would likely rehab the property so that it
exceeded the original assessed value. Staff will report the GO-HNI interest at an upcoming RDA
meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council approves the spot blight designation and acquisition of property at 1302 Eastman
Street.
