NM11A Wheat Ridge Housing Authority Minutes of Meeting January 27, 2015 A. CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 4:04 p.m. by Chair Thompson in the City Council Chambers of the Municipal Building, 7500 West 291h Avenue. Wheat Ridge, Colorado. B. ROLL CALL OF MEMBERS Authority Members Present!,.,. Thomas Abbott Chad Harr Tracy Langworthy Janice Thompson Jennifer Walter Authority Members Absent: Also Present: Lauren Mikulak, Senior Planner Betty Maybin, Cornerstone Realty Henry Wehrdt, JCHA Kim Waggoner, Recording Secretary C. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: October 28,2014 It was moved by Mr. Abbott and seconded by Mr. Harr to approve the minutes of October 28, 2014 as written. Ms. Thompson inquired about the fourth paragraph on page three under item number two. She stated it was her understanding that a building listed on the National Register could be demolished. Ms. Mikulak replied it may need to be removed from the register before demolition. The cottage has no designation on the National Register, therefore it can be demolished. Motion carried 4-0-1 with Ms. Langworthy abstaining. Housing Authority Minutes January 27, 2015 D. OFFICERS REPORTS There were no officers' reports. E. PUBLIC FORUM No one wished to speak. F. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business to discuss. G. OLD BUSINESS 1. Update on Single Family Homes Rehab and Sales Mr. Wehrdt stated a few item were removed from the scope of work reducing the bids by $22,236.00. The permit cost and the asbestos certification is not included in the scope of work. A few items are still under review which could increase the costs such as kitchen cabinets. A contractor has been selected and the contract has been executed. An asbestos certification should be complete later this week. Ms. Mikulak stated the CDBG contract with Jefferson County expired on 12/31/14, but an extension was negotiated. The remodel has to be complete by March 16, 2015. If this is done the county will forgive $50,000. The Authority is currently over budget by $45,000. Therefore, little or no money will be required from WRHA. Mr. Wehrdt stated the contractor knows time is of the essence. He expects the remodel to be complete by the deadline date. Mr. Harr asked at what price the home will be listed and if it can be advertised before the rehabilitation is complete. Ms. Maybin replied the home will be listed for $240,000 - $250,000. She said finding a buyer at 80% AMI may be difficult at that price point. Ms. Mikulak stated the critical timeline is for the completion of the remodel. Based on the extended contract, we will have 3 months to sell the home after the remodel is complete. Ms. Maybin stated as of yesterday, there were zero homes on the market in the price range of $230,000 - $260,000 with 800 —1200 square feet. Mr. Wehrdt stated he has comprehensive files for all the houses the WRHA purchased from JCHA and offered them to Ms. Mikulak. Mr. Wehrdt opined that listing the house before the renovation is complete could interfere with and delay the completion of the rehab. He left at 4:25 p.m. Housing Authority Minutes 2 January 27, 2015 Ms. Maybin left at 4:27 p.m. 2. Fruitdale School Ms. Mikulak stated the article in the newspaper essentially indicated the charter school is not going to purchase the property because Jeffco Schools advised against it. The article did not include the entire story. Staff met with Karen Bailey and their attorney and they are still moving towards closing. There are two groups at Mountain Phoenix School that need to approve the purchase; the Master Planning Committee and the Governing Council. It appears that some members of these committees have concerns and they are trying to work through those. Charter schools have some independence from the school district, but not full independence. Jeffco Schools doesn't necessarily approve the facility but they do traditionally insure charter schools. The buyers have requested another month for closing to address their members' concerns and to determine if they can insure the building independent of the school district. A third applicant responded to the RFI and they were referred to Mountain Phoenix to consider a partnership. Staff has received other inquiries from potential end users as well. The title has been cleared with the vacation ordinance on 44`h "Ve""e It will be effective upon sale of the building to the Fruitdale Building Corporation. Ms. Langworthy stated that at a City Council meeting on January 26, 2015 a citizen implied that she and Mr. Harr should have abstained from the vote regarding the sale of Fruitdale since their children attend Mountain Phoenix. Both Ms. Langworthy and Mr. Harr informed the Authority of this at the time of the vote and she reiterated that they had no personal interest or possible gain by voting on the motion to move forward with Mountain Phoenix. Discussion ensued about protocol and history with the building. Ms. Mikulak stated the contract had certain timelines and the Mountain Phoenix has requested additional time to execute the purchase. Mr. Harr inquired about the probability of Mountain Phoenix closing/purchasing the building. Ms. Mikulak stated she did not know. Staff asked Mountain Phoenix to provide specific assurances that the reuse was viable prior to closing and to provide an update as soon as possible. Mr. Harr suggested a deadline be established. Mr. Abbott stated 30 days is a reasonable extension. Housing Authority Minutes January 27, 2015 Ms. Thompson stated there are multiple parties involved including Mountain Phoenix and Jefferson County School District. Ms. Walter stated she likes the idea of a deadline to keep negotiations moving forward. She is comfortable with a 30 day deadline. Ms. Mikulak stated a 30 day deadline is appropriate which will allow Fruitdale Building Corporation and Mountain Phoenix additional time. The Authority should have new information at the next scheduled meeting. She stated the Authority is in a holding pattern until the property closes or the contract is terminated. There was a discussion about all the parties involved and possible scenarios. It was moved by Ms. Langworthy and seconded by Mr. Abbott to extend the timeframe for the Fruitdale purchase by Fruitdale Building Corporation for an additional 30 days and to have an update ready for the next Authority meeting on February 24, 2015. Mr. Abbott asked Ms. Langworthy if she would like the buyers to attend the next meeting to present their report. Ms. Langworthy stated either way if fine with her. Ms. Mikulak stated it is a real estate transaction and usually there are not a lot of face to face exchanges between the buyer and seller. Staff will determine if it is necessary to have the buyer in attendance or if an update will be provided on their behalf. Mr. Harr asked if additional language is needed in the motion to rescind the contract or to keep it moving forward. Ms. Langworthy stated she is not comfortable with that recommendation as the 30 extension will give them time to determine their intent. Motion approved 5-0. H. OTHER 1. Resolution 01-2015: Establishing a Designated Place for the Posting of Meeting Notices as Required by the Colorado Open Meetings Law. Ms. Mikulak stated the resolution establishes the City Hall lobby as the primary place for notifying of public meetings. It was moved by Ms. Walter and seconded by Mr. Harr to approve Resolution 01-2015, establishing a designated place for the posting of meeting notices as required by the Colorado open meetings law for the Housing Authority. Housing Authority Minutes 4 January 27, 2015 Motion approved 5-0. 2. Resolution 02-2015: A Resolution Designating the Executive Director of the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority. Ms. Mikulak explained that the bylaws state the City Manager is the Executive Director by default but the Authority can designate someone else. The City Manager is aware of the resolution and is comfortable delegating the role to the Community Development Department. As the Community Development Director, Mr. Johnstone is more informed of the Housing Authority activities. It was moved by Ms. Langworthy and seconded by Mr. Abbott to approve Resolution 02-2015, a Resolution Designating the Community Development Director the Executive Director of the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority. Motion approved 5-0. There was a discussion about the future projects of the Housing Authority. Ms. Mikulak stated the single family homes that were purchased and renovated over the past few years were made possible by CDBG funds from Jefferson County. The formula allocation has changed and is no longer a direct allocation to the City. Receipt of CDBG funds now requires an annual competitive process. The Authority has no other revenue stream. Mixed income developments and developer partnerships were suggested by Mr. Harr. Ms. Langworthy stated there may be are other grants available. It was determined that the Authority will be conducting study sessions to consider and explore project ideas for a sustainable future. 1. ADJOURNMENT It was moved by Ms. Langworthy and seconded by Ms. Walter to adjourn the meeting at 5:15 p.m. Motion carried 5-0.

At the January 27, 2015 meeting, the Housing Authority made a motion to extend the purchase contract by 30 days allowing FBC more time to complete due diligence and commit to closing. In addition to offering a 30 day extension, the amended purchase agreement requested the following items prior to the Authority's February meeting: • Written intent to close or not close, • Evidence of support for the proposed charter school by Mountain Phoenix, • Evidence of Buyer's ability to insure the proposed charter school through the Jefferson County School District or otherwise, and • A revised renovation schedule. FBC recently notified staff that they would be withdrawing their proposal and seeking to terminate the purchase contract based on a decision by the Mountain Phoenix Charter School Governing Council not to accept the building. Staff recommends the following motion: I move to terminate the Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Real Property, dated October 28, 2014 and related to the sale of the Fruitdale School property at 10803 W. 44'h Avenue for the following reasons: 1. The buyer has withdrawn their proposal. Next Steps: Background Last year, the Housing Authority decided to issue a Request for Information (RFI) soliciting interest from prospective purchasers to reuse the Fruitdale School property. The RFI was issued in March 2014, with responses due on June 30, 2014. The following month, at a meeting on July 22, the Housing Authority reviewed two complete proposals: • The submittal from FBC proposed a Waldorf -inspired charter school affiliated with Mountain Phoenix Community School. Based on the use, preliminary financial plan, and RFI evaluation criteria, the Authority found this application to be the most viable and it was advanced. • A submittal from Paul Noel Fiorino and Claudia Worth proposed an education and community center for cultural arts and humanities. Because this application did not include a funding or revenue sources and proposed reliance on City resources, this application was not selected for further consideration. A third proposal was received in response to the RFI from Hartman Ely Investments. While this proposal was received before the RFI deadline, the application did not meet the original RFI requirement for a mandatory site visit, and it was deemed not eligible for full consideration. The staff memo provided for the July 22 meeting suggested that the Hartman Ely proposal could be considered fully if the WRHA determined neither of the two eligible applications worthy of further consideration. Staff Recommendation Staff believes the Housing Authority has two viable options for moving forward: Option 1: Provide full consideration of the proposal received from Hartman Ely Investments. Hartman Ely Investments is a development, investment, architecture, and property management company that specializes in historic preservation and reuse. Their original proposal is attached; it indicates capacity to finance projects and demonstrates extensive experience in historic reuse. In the original proposal, the applicant was open to a variety of uses (school, arts, or affordable housing). Recently, the applicant contacted staff to reiterate his interest in the property and to express a preference for reusing the property for affordable housing, having identified potential partners in that area. Given that this application has not yet been fully considered by the Authority, staff is recommending that the Housing Authority grant 60 days for Hartman Ely Investments to deliver a refined proposal including specific land uses, funding sources, and a development pro forma. The proposal would like involve multiple funding sources, including state and federal grants, tax credits, etc. Due to the complexity, Hartman Ely may require additional time to deliver a final proposal. Staff would request the ability to grant up to two 30 -day extensions if the applicant can demonstrate they are making clear and defined progress toward submittal of a full proposal. Option 2: Publish a Request for Information (RFI) or Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit redevelopment/reuse idea. An RFI is a more informal solicitation that can be used as a precursor to an RFP. Responses are often conceptual in nature. An RFP typically solicits more robust responses with more detail about how an applicant plans to execute a project. The Housing Authority can initiate this process now instead of Option 1 or can consider publishing a solicitation after Option I has been exhausted. Staff recommends the following motion: I move to provide an exclusive 60 days to Hartman Ely Investments for delivery of a refined proposal for the reuse of Fruitdale School, with the ability for the Executive Director to grant up to two 30 -day extensions. 1 1 1 1 A Community Revitalization Opportunity for The City of Wheat Ridge HEI Hartman Ely Investments LLC 2120 Bluebell Avenue Boulder CO 80302 720-333-0110 June 30, 2014 City of Wheat Ridge Wheat Ridge Housing Authority Mr. Kenneth Johnstone 7500 West 29`h Avenue Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 Re: Fruitdale School Informational Proposal from HEI Dear Kenneth, I am writing to send you our informational proposal for the Fruitdale School. 1. Statement of Interest: As we discussed briefly on the phone last week, I am personally interested in this school because of its connection with Temple Buell. As an architect, I had the great pleasure of working on the renovation of one of Temple's buildings (the Paramount Theater), as well as meeting him for lunch and a tour of his office one day, in the mid-1980s. Also, my 34 year career as an architect and redeveloper of abandoned historic buildings gives me a unique perspective and great experience with the important issues that will N make the redevelopment of the Fruitdale School a success for the City and everyone involved. 2. Acquiring Entity: As one option, HEI would acquire and redevelop the property As a second option, HEI would work in partnership with one or both of the other groups that are interested in the building, if the City prefers that another group acquires the property. The benefit of such a partnership would be that HEI could be an experienced I Development Manager and/or Investment Partner, to help the other team members achieve success. I Per our discussion last week. I understand that a charter school and a non-profit arts group are interested in the Fruitdale School. HEI has often worked in partnership with other groups in our past and current redevelopments. Please refer to our website for more information on our past projects and development approach, www.harttnanelyinvestments.corn. 3. Proposed Interior Use: Charter School, Non -Profit Arts Center and/or Apartment Building/Affordable Urban Cottages. 4. Proposed Site Use: Parking, landscaping and miscellaneous facilities to support the interior use. 5. Estimated Completion Timeline: Acquire the building by the end of 2014 and complete the redevelopment by the end of 2015. 6. Financing Summary: HEI is flexible on how this project is financed. We can provide all the debt and equity if required. Or, other team members can provide some or all of the overall financing. We are happy to discuss this issue further with the City if we are selected as part of the redevelopment team. 7. Potential Outside Grant Funds: We would investigate an additional grant from the State Historic Fund, as well as the Historic Investment Tax Credit from the National Park Service. 8. Funding by the City: We anticipate that the City will not have to provide any funding. However, a key issue is the sales price of the property. That price will be an important part in the decision on whether the overall redevelopment is financially feasible. 9. Project Lead and Team: Jim Hartman will be the project lead. Susan Ely will be the business manager for the redevelopment. Other partners, consultants, contractors, tenant(s) and property manager will be utilized as required. 10. Historic Building Experience: HEI and Jim Hartman have extensive experience with not only historic building renovations but also historic building financing and site re-zoning/re-platting. Some of our most similar projects include (please refer to our website for additional information): • Steam Plant Lofts and Patio Homes, Denver Adaptive use of vacant, abandoned building to 14 custom-designed residential lofts and 9 single family homes on the balance of the site. HEI was development partner/investor, development manager, architect of record. • Hangar 2 Redevelopment, Denver Adaptive use of vacant, abandoned original hangar at Lowry Air Force Base to mixed use facility (storage, small scale offices, retail shops, restaurants, school). HEI is owner partner/investor, development manager, concept architect. • Park Hill Place, Denver Revitalization of run-down, 17 -unit apartment building on the East Colfax transit corridor. HEI is owner/investor, development manager, concept architect. Jim Hartman's experience with other historic projects as project architect for Fentress Bradburn Architects or Development Manager for National Properties include: • Colorado State Capitol, Denver • Kittredge Building/Paramount Theater, Denver • Gunter Hall at University of Northern Colorado, Greeley • Black American West Museum, Denver • Bank Lofts, Denver • Boston Lofts, Denver • Courtyard Marriott Hotel, Denver • Grand Lowry Lofts, Denver • Engineering Hall at Colorado School of Mines, Golden • Odd Fellows Hall, Denver • Denver Permit Center, Denver A summary of some of those projects is attached for additional information. I I. Operations and Maintenance Plan: i HEI will determine the best O&M plan with the City and the team if we are selected. 1 12. Market Analysis: f If the charter school and/or non-profit arts facility are not the use(s) for the School, HEI believes that there is a market for modestly priced rental apartments at this property. t t l 13.
