MEMORANDUM
Date: November 12, 2003
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Re: Resolution Supporting Prairie Garden Development and application for
Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)
To facilitate the Council's decision-making on the Prairie Garden resolution,
deferred at the meeting of November 10, the information presented below is the
process for approval of such projects from initial HCDC approval to application
for tax credits.
At the start of this type of project, typically CDBG and HOME funds are sought
from the City through the HCDC/Council approval process. At that time the
location of the proposed housing units may or may not be known. Informally, the
City has a policy of advocating scattered site units but the definition of what
scattered site means has not been clearly articulated.
After receiving funding from the local jurisdiction, the developer then pursues
HOME funding at the State level and Iow-income housing tax credits (LIHTC).
Often these are applied for concurrently. At the time of these applications to the
State, the location of the proposed housing units must be established.
Therefore, the developer will purchase the lots for the units with the local CDBG
or HOME money or private funds. If CDBG/HOME funds are used at this stage,
the City enters into a contract with the developer implementing the funding
approved through the HCDC/Council allocation process.
The awarding of LIHTC is dependent upon a number of factors included in a
point system set by the State. One of the factors is the support of the local
jurisdiction as evidenced in a Resolution of the City Council endorsing the
project. The accumulation of points, plus other factors, contributes to the
successful acquisition of tax credits. Tax credits are the mechanism used to
entice private participation in these projects.
A chronology of events leading up to the current discussion relating to the
resolution of support for the Garden Prairie project is found below.
January 2002 Application received by City staff for the acquisition of 5 to
10 vacant duplex lots for the development of affordable
family housing. Applicant stated they would purchase
scattered sites if possible.
May 2002 Council approved the FY03 Annual Action Plan, providing
$301,200 for the Garden Prairie Project.
August 2002 City and Prairie Garden IHA LP entered into a contract for
the use of HOME funds for the acquisition of real property
that includes four lots on Catskill Court (8 units) and three
lots on Whispering Meadows and Indigo Court (6 units).
October 2002 Aforementioned lots purchased for $277,700.
November 2002 Council approved a Resolution Supporting the Development
of Affordable Housing using LIHTC for 6 units in Whispering
Meadows. Burns & Burns submitted a LIHTC application to
the Iowa Finance Authority for this project.
March 2003 Iowa Finance Authority announced the LIHTC awards. The
Garden Prairie project was not awarded tax credits. HCDC
was informed that Prairie Garden IHA LP was unsuccessful
in obtaining the tax credits and informally consented to them
continuing to pursue this project.
November2003 Burns & Burns requested City Council to approve a
resolution in support of the Garden Prairie Project for the
upcoming LIHTC application cycle.
The principle of scattered site for housing units for Iow to moderate income
people is a critical issue for the city and for the residents of the units. The city
benefits with the success of the residents of the units and the residents are more
likely to succeed if they do not have to struggle with living in an area identified as
a particular income level. These concerns have been discussed on previous
occasions, never resulting in a formal scattered site policy. Articulation of a clear
policy, which enables all who are involved with housing issues to proceed with
projects knowing those projects are clearly in line with the wishes of the Council,
is necessary.
Our recommendation is for the Council to proceed with approval of the resolution
for this project given the affirmative posture that has been taken with Prairie
Garden to date, and for the Council to work on establishment of a clear policy
regarding scattered site housing that will enable developers and the staff to meet
the Council's objectives.

rights in accordance with Paragraph 5.
