Action: (~[[~-f--~c.,_~_~ #2 page 1 ITEM NO. 2 - PUBLIC HEARING RELATIVE TO AN APPLICATION FOR EIGHTEEN (18) REPLACEMENT UNITS OF PUBLIC HOUSING. Horow/Declare the p.h. open. Kubby/Discuss it? Horow/Council's discussion will come under consideration of the resolution. Boothroy/ I think if you want something on record I can just indicate that these are scattered sites housing units that will be located in Iowa City. All single family. Horow/When we say scattered site housing, however, I know in the area behind me there are, already, between Kirkwood and Mark Twain, Kirkwood and Highway 6, Keokuk and Sycamore, there are quite a number of city houses already. Quite a number. A reasonable number. Now, when you say scattered sites, how are you determining the scattered sites. Just the availability of the houses? Boothroy/Primarily. I think we are very sensitive to the issue of location in terms of the concerns the council has expressed and other people have expressed about Southeast Iowa City. So, we look or I look I should say and try to find houses that are north of Highway 6 and also try to spread them out so they are not, you know, two on the same block or something like that. There may be a couple in the same neighborhood like over by Southeast Junior High. We have three houses in that area. One on Wayne, one right across from the pool and so fourth but they are not within-they are a couple of blocks apart. Throg/I find that to be an admirable goal and I strongly support but it suggests there are significant limitations in terms of what part of the city what parts of the city scattered site housing would be economically viable within at least- I can imagine parts of the city where it would be very difficult to buy a lot or buy the land, buy the house and actually use it as public housing. Boothroy/Well, the farthest north on the east side of Iowa City that we have bought housing is on Lower West Branch Road. We have gone that far north. But you are right. Certainly the newer areas that are developing are not available. The housing costs are just too high.

F072795 #3 page 1 ITEM NO. 3 - CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN APPLICATION POR PUBLIC HOUSING REPLACEMENT UNITS FOR DISPOSITION. Horow/Moved by Pigott, seconded by Throg. Discussion. Lehman/Susan, I talked to a Realtor yesterday and I got some numbers that I think are somewhat significant. At this point in time there are 49 properties on the market under $100,000 and this is the highest within memory for most realtors. Of those 49 properties, 24 have pending offers. That means there is a total availability right now of 25 properties under $100,000. We are talking about buying 3/4's of those properties. I really don't think the city has any business competing with the private sector to this degree. I mean if we had 500 properties, I can understand us buying them. But if we got 25 properties. Buying 18 I think is totally unfair to the folks who live in this community. Of those properties, two of them are between $60,000 and $70,000; three of them are between $70,000 and $80,000; nine are $80,000 and $90,000 and 12 are $90,000 to $100,000. Now we have got young families in this community who work hard and try to buy a home. We are competing with those folks. I don't think that is right. I absolutely don't think that is right. In addition to competing with them and taking these off of the market, if and when we acquire these 18 properties we will then own, I believe 110. Boothroy/I would have to add them up. Lehman/I think that is right. The property taxes on 110 units is about $160,000. Those are families whose kids go to our schools. They pay no taxes for the schools. They pay no support for the city. I just think we would better advised not to buy these properties. Kubby/Doug, in the agreement that we are going to vote on later, doesn't it say these properties will pay a fee for taxes that will then be passed onto the county and school board? Boothroy/Right, we do pay a payment in lieu of taxes. We have done that ever since the Public Housing Program has been- Lehman/How does that compare to the tax- Boothroy/It is not the same because we are not paying any city taxes, of course, and-or county taxes~ They just go to the school district. So, it is primarily for the school district. Lehman/Which is another cost to the city, right? Boothroy/The property is owned by us so I am not so sure-I don't know how to answer that. You would be taxing yourself if you Thisrepresents only areasonably accurate transcription ofthelowa City councilmeetlng of July 27,1995. F072795 #3 page 2 are talking about the city taxes now. But the people who are in the units do pay water and sewer. The Public Housing Authority doesn't pay the water and sewer bills. So they pay all their utilities. The only thing they are not paying for is, I guess, the taxes the city pays. Lehman/You say what they are paying. Boothroy/The tenants are paying. They pay all their utilities. Lehman/They pay what they can afford. We subsidize amounts, right? Boothroy/We have a utility allowance that is available but it is pretty minimal. You know, they are talking maybe $20-30 month. Lehman/All I am saying is if we have a $20-30 a month allowance for utilities and they use that, they aren't paying for that. We are. Boothroy/Well, that comes from HUD. I understand what you are saying. Horow/If, as we have talked about in terms of a sliding scale or some sort of assistance for the water and sewer rates that have gone up, then these family would also be given a break or given some money to pay those fees as well. Boothroy/That is a very important issue for this because- Horow/This is 18 units but when you connect them with all the rest of them that is a lot of support. And none of this money comes from HUD. Is that right? Boothroy/Not for the utilities that you are talking about. Horow/So that should HUD be severely pruned by Congress this will fall back on the Iowa City property. Boothroy/What I see happening with Public Housing is that they are going to-they want to evolve to a point where the local jurisdictions take more and more responsibility. So, recently we applied for money that helps us deal with infrastructure of units and stuff like that. Those type of funds down the road, a few years down the road, just won't be there and the expectations I think on HUD part and I think certainly this Congress would support that is that the local housing authorities will be able to support themselves in Public Housing based on the rent they charge. What that means is that they are looking at issuing vouchers and certificates to all people that are getting assistance, including public housing people, giving them the flexibility to move wherever Thisrepresents only areasonably accuratetranscription ofthelowa City councilmeeting of July 27,1995. F072795 #3 page 3 they want and the Housing authorities will them be charging fair market rents. We will have to charge fair market rents in order to maintain the properties and keep them attractive for the utilization by tenants. The one thing that s.f. structures do for us is it puts us in a situation where we are very competitive in that sense because we don't have-We have a long waiting list for s.f. houses. It is where people want to live. People don't want to live necessarily at Broadway. We have a 3 out of 4 turndown rate at Broadway. We don't have any turndown rate with our s.f. houses. So, we are meeting not only what our clients-their needs. But in the long run we will be healthier because of the fact that we will have the s.f. houses. I think to address Ernie's concerns, we of the things keep in mind is the housing will be maintained for low income families. I bought 30 houses over the last three years and I found that during that period of time, the first house I bought have appreciated in value $12,000 or more and that same house is not as affordable as it was 3-4 years ago to the same family and the incomes for those families haven't gone up. So what I am trying to say is that we are serving families, we are serving low income families and once the Housing Authority owns that property, those are going to be available for those low income families for as long as we own the property and they will have the opportunity then to have that same, you know, living environment that they want as the families that you are talking about. Both families want to live in s.f. houses. The difference is ownership and the other point that I want to make is that the several million dollars that I have expanded over the last few years in buying these houses, most of the families that we would purchase the houses from continue to live in this area. Which means there was a multiple buyer effect for the expenditure of that fund. I spend, let's say, this last time around we bought ten units at over $900,000. So it like- You know, $940,000. That is going to end up generating real estates revenues as well as revenues for the people who own houses. It provides mobility within the community as well as it generates income within the real estate community. So, I understand what you are saying. It takes it off the market but it also does provide some positives. It is not all negative. Lehman/I don't disagree with you. All I am saying is that if the 18 properties that we are talking about purchasing were purchased by the private sector, Iowa City would be better off economically. Boothroy/I don't necessarily agree with that. Throg/The City of Iowa City when you say that? Lehman/The City of Iowa City, right. Thisrepresents only a raasonably accurate trBns~Iptlon ofthelowa City council meeting of July 27,1995. F072795 #3 page 4 Throg/The municipality and the government. Boothroy/You are talking about the government because of taxes? Lehman/Yeah. Boothroy/The people-Many of our clients do work. I think it is a common misconception that Public Housing clients don't work. They work at the K-Marts, the Walmarts and places like that. The problem is is that when they work at those commercial enterprises they are not making the kind of income that allows them to purchase their own house and we have, you know, one of my employees for example that I hired two years ago simply does not make enough money to afford his own house. So he lives in Public Housing. He is a good employee and he does a fine job for the city but he has got a family of four, at $23,000 a year or whatever it is, he qualifies for Public Housing. And I don't have any problem with that I guess is what I am saying. I think that is a positive and that house is always going to be available for people at that particular income level. Pigott/Doug, you mentioned that over the past three years you have purchased 30 houses. Boothroy/Three or four years. Pigott/Three or four years. Tell me what was the largest number of houses you purchased in one go. Boothroy/Twenty. It took me less than a year to purchase that and I didn't really have any problem. Pigott/And that was over a period of a year? Boothroy/Approximately a year. Pigott/So, when you purchase, Ernie said that 25 are available today and that if we bought 18 today that would take a huge chunk of that off the market. But we don't plan on buying anything like that amount on one day at one time in the market. Boothroy/Oh, no. It is impossible to buy 18 units. I think I will have to say that getting those 20 purchased in approximately a year was I think just good fortune and hard work. It probably should take maybe a year and a half to get 18. That would be a reasonable estimation and the-with this last go around and talking about this project we still have people or I still have people contacting me and offering houses to me. So I think- I understand what you are saying. At particular Thisrepresents only a reasonably accurate trans~iptlon ofthelowe ClW council meeting of July 27,1995. F072795 #3 pag~ 5 '."" one point in time there is 25 but when I have been buying houses, there is always sort of a limited supply on any one month but there is always different houses different months. So that if you added up for the whole year it may actually be more than 25. I don't know what that number would be but I think it is a much more dynamic. It is not a static situation. It is much more dynamic. It also depends on what time of year you are looking at those number.s Lehman/The average inventory is considerably less than 25. Back in February it was like 12. Pigott/But we are not buying 18 during that average period. We may by one during that one, you know, moment in time. Boothroy/I think this last year in February I bought two houses. Pigott/Two. That is a significant difference and I understand your concern. I mean, I would be concerned, too, if I thought at one time in that one window that you are looking at we would buy the chunk of all the houses. But I don't see us doing that. Bo0throy/And we are fairly competing. I didn't pay more than what people are asking, as I mentioned at the last meeting. I don't remember the numbers. I can certainly get those to you. But we were less than a 100% of the asking price, some place down around 95-96%. So we did not beat people out by paying more than what the asking price. In fact, I lost a house based on the fact that I offered slightly less than full value, 98%, which I thought was a good offer and the offer they accepted was more than what they were asking for. It was an underpriced house. I thought it would have been a heck of a deal. But-So, you win a few and you lose a few and of course that happens to anybody that is on the market. Throg/Ernie, I would like to suggest an alternate way of looking at this. You have made it sound as if there is a chunk of housing out there and the city is coming in and buying a large portion and taking that housing out of the market and then making it more difficult for people to buy housing they want in an affordable range. Well, it seems to me a different way of looking at it is to think of us as something like a property management firm that is competing in the market with all these other people who want to be buying houses and we are purchasing some property, we are managing the property and making it available to people who could not otherwise buy or get into s.f. housing. So we are just in the market on behalf of other people rather than taking housing out of the market and hurting a group of people. Thisrepresents only a reasonably accurate transcription of theIowa Citycouncil meeting of July 27, 1995. F072795 #3 page 6 Lehman/I hear what you are saying but we are competing with folks who want to own their own homes. Throg/Just as other people are competing with people who want to own. Horow/No. I disagree with that because as Doug was saying meeting clients needs. The times that I have been in contact with people who wanted to purchase s.f. units, the question could be is it a need or a want. The dream of having your own home with picket space and green space around there, some of the people that are trying to purchase these houses, they have saved up and are at the point where they can do this. Other people, for whatever reason, are not. That philosophy when I was raised, that is tough and you stay in a non s.f. home scenario until you can get out of it. So it is not necessarily a need as much as it is a want. Now, on the other side of that I understand that a government is suppose to, at this point, our philosophy is to assist people. Certainly being in a home. But I have a lot of problems with the difference between a need and a want. Throg/Where, then, do lower income people live? Horow/They much live in apartments. Pigott/Even if they have a family of four kids? Horow/Yes. Pigott/I think that is sometimes very difficult. Horow/Well, sure it is difficult, but not impossible. Pigott/I am not sure it is realistic. Horow/Iowa City, as Iowa City becomes more and more involved in social issues, Bruno, I think it becomes also the profile is more and more as large cities. Pigott/Also the issue isn't necessarily whether it is a s.f. house always or an apartment as much as it is do we help people who couldn't afford but work here and who live here who couldn't afford to even rent an apartment. That is the bigger issue that we are looking at. The philosophy is if a person can't make it because the cost of living is so high because they are working below the poverty level with four kids, do we lend a helping hand so they can struggle to get on their feet. I think yes, the answer is yes. Horow/I have been, as you know, have been on ECCOG for a number of This represents only a reesonably accumtstranscrlptlon ofthelowa City council meeting of July 27,1995. F072795 #3 page 7 years, ever since being on council. And this issue has been going around and around in terms of the housing availability and affordability, not only in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City but in the rest of the communities who belong in the six county area and I guess I tend to think of it as something that is more important that the regional availability and affordability to work on rather than individual Cedar Rapids- Iowa City being magnets because I totally disregard the argument that people would have to buy a car and pay gas in order to commute to their jobs. That cuts no ice with me any longer. People are going to do that anyway and the houses or the communities like Oxford, Tiffin, that are beginning to increase their housing stock, I think is a way we should be cooperating with other cities rather than increasing the number of houses that are taking off our property taxers in this city. I am arguing out of both sides of my mouth here because I am going to support it. Doug- Kubby/I was just going to remind you that I will be abstaining. Horow/I have a question, Doug. If at some point the Public Housing Authority, that is the city councils of the future, decide to divest themselves of some of these homes, some of this stick, I am assuming we pay HUD back. But if these houses appreciate in value- Boothroy/No, we don't pay HUD back. We would own these outright. These are owned by the City of Iowa City. Horow/So if they appreciate in value then we have actually made some money on the deal. Boothroy/Well, I think the only hook that HUD might put on that is that if you sell these houses you probably have to use the revenue for meeting some housing needs or housing related needs. Horow/Well, that wouldn't be bad at all because- Boothroy/ But you can't use the money to go out and buy infrastructure for new paving or something like that. Horow/That softens, then, what I consider a very harsh resolution in that the Public Housing Authority cannot use the money for anything other than acquisition. It can't use it for rehabilitation building. So, you are saying if we did sell a house we then could use the money as we saw fit but within the same general area. Boothroy/For housing, housing needs or housing services of some kind. And the-Yeah, it- Keep in mind also that we still have Thisrepresents only areesonably accurate transcription ofthelowo City council meeting ~ July 27,1995. F072795 #3 page 8 an obligation to sell 20 of the houses that I bought over the last few years so that we make it-To get back to the point that you are talking about, Ernie, where we make it possible for people to step into a home ownership role and those houses would go back on the tax rolls in those situations. We still have an obligation to put 20 of these homes back on the property tax rolls. We haven't started that yet but we do intend to start that soon. Kubby/To clarify, though, you are talking about selling them to the people who currently live in them. Boothroy/Who are currently living in them or if they choose not to buy them or don't want to buy them then at such time they move we would offer it to somebody else that might be interested in in. There is not displacement involved but it is everybody that is eligible for the program. So I think that is a real positive program that goes farther than anybody else in the community does at this point because we are looking at providing a very deep subsidy for these people to get started and a helping hand to try to maintain them in that way of life that we are talking about which they would not have. Throg/Karen, I don't remember why you are abstaining. Kubby/Because I am on the Board of HACAP and the only reason we are doing this is because we are selling the 18 units on Broadway to HACAP. Lehman/I think this is a separate issue, though. Throg/It strikes me as a separate issue. Kubby/Doug, would we be doing this if we weren't selling the other units to HACAP? Boothroy/This application is for replacement units. Woito/That answer is no. Boothroy/Well, that is right. The way is couched, right. We would have not put in an application otherwise because there isn't any money there. Horow/Does Karen need to abstain in the next PHA resolution in support of the Public Housing Project? In other words, in all these- Woito/We wouldn't be doing this but for our sales in HACAP because we wouldn't have any money. Thlsrepresents only areasonably eccuratetranscdptlon ofthelowa Citycouncil meetlngofJuly 27,1995. F072795 #3 page 9 Throg/What would the understand. reason be for Karen to abstain. I don't Kubby/It is my choice. Woito/It is Karen's choice. Throg/You can abstain from anything. I understand that. Woito/It is her choice. Kubby/Because as a Board member of HACAP and I abstained through all of these issues at that Board as well because it is just a conflict when there are these two sets of interests, doing things- I mean, it is actually positive interests. They are not in conflict. But I just feel uncomfortable that I am representing the interests of both parties in an economic interaction. I just feel more comfortable abstaining. Horow/Okay; any other questions for Doug? Lehman/Doug, I want to make it very clear, I have no problem with helping people with housing. None whatsoever. In fact I think it is at least a moral responsibility if not a legal one for us to help our folks. My problem is because of the competitive nature of the market that we really really are taking away housing from folks who live here, who work here, who have worked hard and the city is not a fair competitor when it comes to buying property. We can go in and write a check out. Somebody else has to go and make arrangements for a loan. While they are making arrangements we can go in and buy it and I don't think that is fair. If there were something like a waiting period of 60-90 days after a listing. Something to kind of even the playing field I could probably go along with this. Boothroy/It is really not that quick. It is usually 3-4 weeks after we have made the offer. I would say-I understand what you are saying we can just write a check. It doesn't happen that fast. When we make an offer it is contingent upon HUD approval, lead base paint testing, termite inspection and those are all things that delay our moving forward. If somebody could also-The time period between the offer and finally making that good is enough time for them to qualify for a loan, too. So we are not moving any faster in that sense. Lehman/No, but, if you were a property owner and you had an offer from the City of Iowa City for your property and an offer from Joe Blow who works at wherever. Which offer are you going to take? Same offer. This represents only a reasonsbly occurate transcription of the Iowa City counci] meeting of July 27, 1995. F072795 #3 page 10 Boothroy/Well, I will tell you something, Ernie, in doing 30 houses I have never felt that I had that much of a competitive advantage because I have been turned down on so many of them that I feel like every time I lose a house I fell that somehow that- I have not always felt that being the City of Iowa City has been an advantage. In fact, it has been a negative in some cases. Lehman/I can understand that in some cases. But from a financial standpoint, if you are the seller, the city is pretty solid. Boothroy/Well, I think what gives us some advantage is that, as I mentioned earlier, is who is out shopping in December, January and February and I certainly take advantage of that. So, to that extent, and we are a good buy. Obviously we are going to stand behind it so there aren't any questions. Horow/Okay, folks, let's move on this. The motion on the floor by Pigott, seconded by Throg. We have had discussion. Any further questions? Roll call- (Horow-Yes; Kubby-(Abstain); Lehman-no; Pigott-yes; Throg-yes). Resolution passed. No, excuse me. Karr/Madam Mayor, it takes four votes to pass. Horow/0och! Throg/I have no idea how protocol works here. I suppose we could continue talking about this a little bit, Ernie, if there were-if we had an amendment that called for say a 21 day waiting period or something like that, would that have any influence on your vote? Lehman/My big problem is that the very limited amount of property in this price range. We can't change that and that inventory becomes less and less and less all the time as prices go up. And obviously I think that probably is the highest demand price range. I just don't think the city should be competing with the private sector. If we were competing at $250,000, I have no problem with that. But I really have a problem when we are competing with basically low and moderate income people. We are not- We are competing with the people we are trying to help. Horow/I would like to suggest something. Because we have got two members absent, would council, those on the prevailing side of a yes, wish to reconsider to have this at the next meeting? Pigott/Yes, I would be happy- Karr/Doug has a deadline, though. Doug, when do you need to have it? Thisrepresents only areasonably accurate trans~iptlon ofthelowa City councilmeeting of July 27,1995. F072795 #3 page 11 Woito/That is why we are having this meeting, Doug. Karr/The best you could do, if I may make a suggestion, is Larry is teaching at Kirkwood a class at 8:00. I did expect him. Something must have come up. Would be the best you could do is prevailing side agree to reconsider and set a time later in the day. Woito/It has to be at your next meeting. Karr/Well, you would set a special meeting right now. You would continue this meeting and vote to reconsider it later today. Woito/It won't work for Bruno. Kubby/You could come to a 6:30- Pigott/I am not going to be here. Karr/I could call and try to reach Larry. I know Larry is teaching at 8:00. I don't know what his schedule is. PigOtt/6:30 (can't hear). Karr/I don't know that Larry can. I would have to make some calls. You would have to set it now, though, because it is a continued meeting and you would have to vote. Pigott/(Can't hear). Karr/I don't know that he couldn't make it sooner. I don't know if he can make it later. I don't have any idea. Kubby/I would feel unethical changing my abstention because I have been doing this all the way through. Woito/You have been consistent and not that I have required it. You have chosen on your own to avoid the appearance. Kubby/I think it is unfair for me to change my mind because of an individual circumstance council- Horow/At best sometimes (can't hear). Pigott/I will be hear if we have to do it. This is very important. Karr/If we do this, if I am correct on this, I can certainly try to reach Larry. But if Larry is unable to do it you have called a meeting, so you must be here and we have no quorum. Throg/I can be here today at 6:30. Thisrepresents only a reasonably accurate ~enscrlptlon of ~elowa Citycouncll mee~ng of July 27, 1995. F072795 #3 page 12 Woito/Bruno, you wouldn't have to show up if you know Larry is not going to be here. Karr/If you are not going to be here we would have no quorum but we do have to convene a meeting, announce there is no quorum, then leave. Horow/All right. Let's continue the meeting until 6:30. Karr/Can we just have one second to confer on something? Woito/We can call, Bruno. Pigott/Yeah, I just- Horow/The other issues are- Karr/Is there any interests to go later than 6:30? Pigott/My thing-I have a commitment at the Muscatine Public Library to so something that I have had for several months. It starts at 9:00. You see, I know that is late and I might not be out of it. Karr/Again, I don't know-Our dilemma here as we concurred on this is that you do have to set a time, a specific time and place, thank you, specific and without Larry we are sort of binding ourselves and I can't leave it open to get a hold of Larry, So- Kubby/Why don't we say 9:30 tonight? I mean it would take like five minutes. Pigott/I would do it. I would be here 6:30. I would be here- This is more important than that. Horow/Let's leave this at 6:30. Throg/But we don't know whether Larry can make it. Kubby/It is more likely that he can do 9:30. Throg/Is Naomi out of town? Karr/Naomi will not be in the- Horow/All right, is there a motion to defer this until 6:30 this afternoon? Continue the ph.- Karr/We need a motion to reconsider and then continue. Thlsrepresents only areasonabiy accuratetranscription ofthelowa Ci~ council meeting of July 27,1995, F072795 #3 page 13 Horow/ Moved by Pigott, seconded by Throg to reconsider this. (Can't hear).
