Workshop - Heritage Rooms I and II (5:30) I. 2025 BUDGET
Case stated Council discusses the budget multiple times per year before final approval in
December. Getschow noted the City prepares a two year budget which is driven by the quality of
life survey results. The goal of the budget is to maintain a high level of services at a reasonable
tax impact. Almost 70 percent of the budget is related to wages and benefits as the City is a
service organization. Revenues are budgeted conservatively, any revenue generated over budget
is added to the capital maintenance and investment fund. The City targets expenditures to be
between 98 and 99.5 percent of budget. The City plans large capital projects years in advance.
Discussions on the upcoming Police remodel began in 2017. The City prioritizes retaining
employees and investing in professional development.
Getschow detailed goals of the budget. The Administration department has administered four
elections, with one election remaining in 2024. Narayanan asked if the State reimburses the City
for election administration costs. City Clerk David Teigland stated the State partially reimburses
the City for the presidential primary. The County partially reimburses the City for the two special
County Commissioner elections. Other goals for the budget include evaluating the fire
department staffing model, preparing for the Police station remodel, exploring Police recruitment
initiatives, and investing in trail extensions, infrastructure, and sustainability initiatives.
Enhancing sense of community is another budgetary goal. New events include the third of July
drone show and Picnic on the Farm.
City Council Workshop Minutes August 20, 2024

Getschow explained General fund revenue is budgeted to increase 4.1 percent. Property taxes are
the largest source of general fund revenue at 70 percent. Charges for services is the second
largest revenue source and is comprised mainly of community center memberships. Licenses and
permits, the third largest source of general fund revenue, is budgeted conservatively. Getschow
displayed the 2024 and 2025 general fund expenditure budget. The general fund expenditure
budget has a proposed 3.5 percent increase in 2025. Most of the increase is due to wages and
benefits. Investments in sustainability efforts has resulted in cost savings. The City emphasizes
zero based budgeting. The tax levy for 2025 is currently proposed at a 4.5 percent increase,
compared to last year’s 5.6 percent.
Getschow stated the 2024 market value of residential properties is essentially flat. The market
value of commercial properties and multifamily properties has decreased, offset by a substantial
value increase of industrial properties. The combination in proposed tax levy and changes in
property market value results in a City tax rate of 30.35 percent, an increase over the prior year’s
28.47 percent.
Getschow explained the Homestead Market Value Exclusion (HMVE) increased from $30,400 to
$38,000, meaning more value is excluded for taxable purposes. As more Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) properties open in the City, a portion of their City tax must be refunded per the
TIF arrangement. Additionally, the City’s fiscal disparity amount increased in 2025. The
combination of these three factors resulted in an adjusted net tax capacity decreased from $154.1
million in 2024 to $152 million in 2025. The decreased tax capacity results in an increase to the
City tax rate.
Case asked how the City’s tax capacity has grown steadily in the past three years, and then
decreased this year. Getschow answered the main factor is HMVE changes, in addition to a 2.9
percent decrease is multi-family property market value. Nelson asked if the City can do anything
for low- to mid-valued homeowners who have not made significant property improvements but
have still experienced unprecedented value increases. Getschow confirmed the City has no
control over State class rates. Case asked if ten years in the future Cities will receive an influx of
money as houses appreciate past the HMVE ceiling. Getschow displayed a map of the impact of
the HMVE calculation change. Residents of cities like Richfield and north Minneapolis benefit
City Council Workshop Minutes August 20, 2024
Page 3
more as they traditionally have lower valued properties. Nelson stated it seemed reasonable that
the lowest value property owners benefit the most.
Getschow noted the Council indicated it would like to hire more firefighters as recommended per
the fire staffing study. Getting to the recommended staffing level could be accomplished with an
additional 1.3 percent increase to the levy over a period of five years. In September the City
Council will vote to set the preliminary levy ceiling, which can be lowered at the final December
vote. The currently proposed 4.5 percent levy increase, in addition to the 1.3 percent needed to
accommodate full time fire staff, would result in a 5.8 percent tax levy increase in 2025.
Getschow displayed tax rate comparisons of 17 surrounding cities in 2024, the City had the
fourth lowest rate. Even if the City set a tax levy increase at 5.8 percent, the City would have the
third lowest rate increase for 2025. Case noted Plymouth has a 24.5 percent tax rate while
Hopkins has a 60 percent tax rate and asked why similar cities have vastly different rates.
Getschow stated the difference is largely related to differences in tax base.
Narayanan asked how much it costs to hire a firefighter. Finance Manager Tammy Wilson stated
the City could employ four full time firefighters with $450 thousand. Narayanan asked if the City
has monetary reserves. Getschow confirmed the City does has reserves in accordance with
policies set by the State auditor and City policy. Narayanan asked if the reserves could be used
for a capital project. Getschow stated it would be against City policy. Case asked the Council to
give input on adding the additional 1.3 percent tax levy increase to hire additional full time
firefighters. All Councilmembers answered in the affirmative.
II. CANNABIS DISCUSSION
Klima explained she’d provide an overview of State legislation, how the Council can choose to
legislate, and how comparable cities are legislating cannabis. The State Office of Cannabis
Management (OCM) classifies four types of cannabis projects and will offer 16 types of cannabis
licenses in 2025. Klima provided a brief overview of the types of products and licenses. The City
can impose a cap on the number of cannabis retailers but must allow a minimum of five or six
per population requirements. The City can also choose to implement buffer guidelines so
cannabis retailers are not operating near a school or daycare. Narayanan asked what the current
buffer requirements are on gun stores. Klima answered adult orientated businesses have a one
thousand foot buffer from churches, schools, and other adult oriented businesses. The City can
City Council Workshop Minutes August 20, 2024
Page 4
choose to impose a buffer between cannabis retailers to not create a density. Lastly, the City can
exclude cannabis retailers from specific zoning districts.
Klima summarized staff recommendations including imposing a cap on the number of cannabis
retailers in the City. Staff is not proposing to implement buffers. If the City were to implement
buffers, 58 percent of commercial and 63 percent of industrial properties would be allowed to
conduct cannabis uses. Staff is not proposing distance requirements between cannabis retailers or
revisions to zoning districts to address cannabis uses. Getschow asked how implementing buffers
would affect parcels zoned neighborhood commercial. Klima stated most neighborhood
commercial properties would become unavailable if buffers are imposed, the TJ Hooligans and
the Tavern 4 and 5 strip mall areas would still be available.
Case noted the Council has time to consider and noted he is interested in how many properties
remain available if the City chose to implement buffers around schools. Narayanan asked if gas
stations could begin selling cannabis. Getschow noted cannabis licenses would likely be obtained
by standalone dispensaries, not gas stations. Toomey added the City does not implement a buffer
for stores that sell liquor or cigarettes. Freiberg noted there are no liquor stores within one
thousand feet of a school. Toomey asked if the City would be vulnerable to litigation imposing
buffers on cannabis use and not liquor. Neuville answered the City is specifically permitted by
law to impose buffers on cannabis locations. Narayanan noted it is better to begin with a buffer
and have the option to remove it later.
Case stated he would like to cap cannabis locations at the minimum required by law. He would
like staff to research implementing buffers for schools and other cannabis retailers. Case asked
where the five or ten preferable cannabis locations in the City would be located. Freiberg asked
when the City should have legislation in place. Neuville noted the City should have legislation in
place by the end of 2024 as the OCM is granting licenses in 2025. Freiberg asked if a municipal
retail location would count as one of the minimum required locations. Neuville confirmed the
City can operate a municipal location but it does not count as one of the minimum required
locations. Nelson asked if smoking cannabis is treated the same as smoking tobacco, and if it is
disallowed in parks and other public areas. Getschow confirmed they are treated the same and
are both disallowed in parks and other public areas. Nelson stated she would not like the retail
locations clustered together to create a cannabis district.

John Mallo, 14000 Forest Hills Road, stated the City should consider naming new streets after
deceased Eden Prairie veterans in remembrance. Case stated the names of deceased Eden Prairie
veterans could be reviewed by the Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC). The developer has
naming rights over new streets but often discusses the area's history with City staff prior to
naming. Mallo stated his neighbor has an electric fence, which should be disallowed in
residential areas as it poses a danger to small children. Case asked staff to research electric
fences in residential areas.

Case pointed out Staff has received a lot of questions about recent

construction. Ellis explained there are two Prairie Center projects. Staff chose to close
the road completely for the larger project because of the size of the
equipment required. They need to provide a safe environment for workers, drivers, and pedestrians. They also completed a traffic analysis for the various options, and traffic was more efficient with the implemented road closure. Finally, the project will be done more quickly. He provided
details on the construction efforts.
Ellis noted the second Prairie Center Drive near Flying Cloud Drive will be completed in early October. He provided details on the construction efforts.
Ellis stated Homer Hills Road had a recent sewer line replacement, and it will be repaved and reopened next week. At the Golden Triangle Station, the third phase will be completed in October. Technology Drive and other major roads have been repaved.
Ellis added fiber installation is occurring throughout Eden Prairie. It is a private effort that is permitted by the City. There is a second fiber company that is seeking a permit for installation in the southeast area of Eden Prairie. The City cannot dictate where fiber is installed as long as
the application is in line with City Code.
Getschow noted other cities have up to four fiber options. Consumers are interested in multiple options.
Narayanan asked if the fiber installation requires a right-of-way permit.
Ellis confirmed that is correct. Second or third fiber installers may lay on top of one another, but they may leapfrog one another in an attempt to be the first provider in a neighborhood.
Case asked if any cities have installed a larger pipe that fiber providers
could place their materials inside of. Ellis explained there are similar efforts in larger cities where there is less room for utilities and more paved areas.
Nelson asked if the ground is restored after fiber installation. Ellis stated
the installers have done a great job restoring the ground. F. REPORT OF POLICE CHIEF

Department of Energy that the City’s Sustainability Coordinator worked on behalf of the city to attain its
first public DC fast charger. This level 3 fast charger being installed will replace the existing older level
2 charger that is in front of the City Center building. This fast charger will have the ability to charge 2
cars at a substantially faster rate than the currently installed level 2 charger. The new charger will be
available to all public and have a user fee set according to market rates to offset the cost of energy,
data/processing fees and warranty costs. City fleet will be able to access the charger as needed also.

necessary to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the specified
insurance. Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and regardless of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to a claim which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to
the negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of
Contractor, its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Contractor agrees that this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Contractor also agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then the indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with
that applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of
limitation have run. If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require Contractor to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing
performance of the indemnity obligation; or ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from Contractor's insurance company.
Contractor will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving
notice from the City. 10. Indemnification. Contractor will defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, and employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs
and expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney’s fees paid, incurred or
for which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Agreement by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission performed, taken or not performed or taken by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, relative to this Agreement. City will indemnify and hold Contractor harmless from and against any
loss for injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the City, its officers, agents or
employees.
Standard Agreement for Contract Services (rev. 6/2024) Page 6 of 11

from defects in materials, workmanship, and operation which appear within a period of one
year, or within such longer period as may be prescribed by law or in the terms of the Agreement, from the date of City’s written acceptance of the Work. The City’s rights under the Contractor’s warranty are not the City’s exclusive remedy. The City shall have all other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

nonconforming Work or materials to the satisfaction of the City. THE FOREGOING SHALL
NOT IN ANY MANNER LIMIT THE CITY’S REMEDY OR THE CONTRACTOR’S LIABILITY TO THOSE DEFECTS APPEARING WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. The Contractor agrees to perform the Work in a manner and at a time so as to minimize any damages sustained by the City and so as to not interfere with or in any way disrupt the
operation of the City or the public.
The corrective Work referred to above shall include without limitation, (a) the cost of removing the defective or nonconforming Work and materials from the site, (b) the cost of correcting all Work of other Contractors destroyed or damaged by defective or
nonconforming Work and materials including the cost of removal of such damaged Work
and materials form the site, and (c) the cost of correcting all damages to Work of other Contractors caused by the removal of the defective or nonconforming Work or materials. The Contractor shall post bonds to secure the warranties.

The notified party shall have five (5) days from the date of such notice to cure the breach or non-performance. Upon failure of the notified party to do so, this Agreement shall
automatically terminate.
b. Upon the termination of this Agreement, whether by expiration of the original or any extended term or terms hereof, or for any other reason, Contractor shall have the right, within a reasonable time after such termination to remove from City’s premises

Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)
ITEM NO.:
IX.A.
Requested Action Move to:
• Close the public hearing to solicit comments on the Fiscal Year 2023 Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). No formal action is required by the City
Council. Synopsis The 2023 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) evaluates the City of
Eden Prairie’s accomplishments towards meeting the five-year goals defined in the Consolidated
Plan, as required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for communities receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. The 2023 program year began July 1, 2023 and ended June 30, 2024 and is the fourth grant period of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
Background Information The five-year goals of the Consolidated Plan are the quantitative unit and service goals for the Hennepin County Consortium, which includes Hennepin County, and the cities of Bloomington, Plymouth, and Eden Prairie.
Support of housing programs and public services is seen as a high priority for the City of Eden Prairie. Through CDBG funds, Eden Prairie supported family, youth, and housing activities for seniors, disabled, and low-income residents which included:
• Affordable Housing
• Rehabilitation of Private Property
• First Time Homebuyer Assistance
• Public Services HUD requires at least two public hearings be held each program year to provide opportunities for residents and interested representatives of local organizations to be involved in reviewing program
activities, the local needs of low and moderate-income persons and proposed uses for CDBG funds.
In conjunction with Hennepin County, Eden Prairie will hold two public hearings in the current fiscal year with the first being advertised for and held this evening. Any comments received during the meeting, or in writing during the comment period, will be submitted to HUD as part of the CAPER package. The second public hearing will be advertised and held by the Eden Prairie City
Council in or around March 2025 to obtain public comment on proposed activities for CDBG
funding for the 2025 program year. Attachment 2023 CDBG Draft Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a)
This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.
• $190,305 of the City’s 2023 CDBG allocation and $55,000 in program income and prior year funds was allocated the City's Rehab
program and affordable housing programs to help provide decent housing, while maintaining affordability and sustainability. These
funds were used in the rehabilitation of twenty-eight low and moderate-income owner-occupied homes. Eleven homeowners used the
emergency rehab program to replace their furnace and air conditioners. CDBG formula funds along with a Met Council LHIA grant were
used by the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust to help acquire two single family homes which were sold to low and
moderate-income families. Two low and moderate-income First Time Homebuyers received down payment assistance to purchase their
first home in Eden Prairie.
• $67 ,000 of the City’s CDBG allocation was allocated for public service programs that provide assistance to low and moderate-income
seniors, families, youth and individuals. These funds helped provide access to suitable living environments, maintain affordability,
availability and accessibility to housing activities. Seventy-three low and moderate-income Eden Prairie households received assistance
during 2023. These programs were successful in addressing the needs of Eden Prairie households.
• $2,000 of the City’s CDBG allocation was used for fair housing activities. The City funds and participates in the Fair Housing
Implementation Council (FHIC), a regional housing consortium that works on region-wide fair housing strategies. This group, working
with a non-profit consultant, recently completed its new Analysis of Impediments (AI) and is set to begin strategizing around some of the
impediments identified.
• $30,000 of the City’s CDBG allocation and $25,000 in program income was allocated for administration of the CDBG program.
• The City was awarded $399,571 in CDBG-CV (Coronavirus) funds in 2020. During the 2023 program year, CDBG-CV funds were expended
for rental assistance to low and moderate-income Eden Prairie residents who were in danger of eviction due to the Coronavirus.
In 2023, the City of Eden Prairie received $289,305 in CDBG funding and $85,600.79 in CDBG program income.
In June of 2020, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allocated $168,055 of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (CARES Act) funding to the City of Eden Prairie. The CDBG CARES Act funding (CDBG-CV) prioritized the unique needs of low
and moderate-income persons and the development of partnerships between government and non-profit sectors. CDBG-CV funds were used to
CAPER 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
support CDBG subgrantees in serving low and moderate-income residents to prevent, prepare for and respond to the Coronavirus
pandemic. An additional allocation in the amount of $231,516 was granted to the City in late 2020.
The City was awarded $399,571 in CDBG-CV funds during 2020 and disbursed the remaining $3,682.41 during 2023.

Table 1 - Accomplishments – Program Year & Strategic Plan to Date
Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,
giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
All activities undertaken by the City of Eden Prairie have a high ranking in the Five Year strategic plan. These activities include Homeless
Prevention (PROP), Senior Community Services, Child Care (PROP), Car Repair (PROP), West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (WHAHLT),
First Time Homebuyer and Housing Rehab. Except for the Car Repair program, the public service programs met their spending goals. Due to
high demand and because the rental assistance program expended their funds before the end of the program year, the remaining Car Repair
funds were transferred to PROP’s Homeless Prevention program to be used for rental assistance. According to the City’s Citizen Participation
Plan, this change is considered administrative in nature and was not required to go through the substantial amendment process. This change
was made internally and is addressed as a revision in this CAPER. Their priority in the strategic plan was high serving those households who were
at or below 80% Median Family Income. Since decent, affordable housing is of the highest priority for the City, it is very important that Housing
Rehab, Homeless Prevention (PROP), First Time Homebuyer and WHAHLT meet their goal. The City strives to provide and maintain its affordable
housing stock. The City also uses TIF funds to finance its Rehab program and First Time Homebuyer programs. These TIF funds serve households
whose income falls between the 80% and 100% AMI income limit. Three first time homebuyer was able to purchase a home in Eden Prairie and
ten households received rehab assistance using TIF funds.
Eden Prairie was awarded $399,571 in CDBG-CV funds in 2020. The majority of these funds were used by PROP, Eden Prairie’s emergency
assistance provider, to prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus through emergency assistance programs that serve low and
moderate-income Eden Prairie residents. During the 2023 program year, PROP was able to assist two low and moderate-income Eden Prairie
residents adversely affected by the coronavirus with rental assistance.

Eden Prairie served seventy-three households through public service programs during 2023. The
majority of clients served were White (47), but other races were also served including Black/African
American (11), African American and White (2), Asian (5), and those reporting more than one race
(6). Three of the households were Hispanic.
A demographic snapshot of Eden Prairie, notes Eden Prairie's population as 64,198. 74% of Eden
Prairie's population identified as white alone, 7% identified as Black or African American, 13% as Asian
and 4% identified as Hispanic. The percentage of households served who identified as Black or African
American was above the Eden Prairie statistics while the households identifying as white or Asian where
below the Eden Prairie statistics for these demographics.
Eden Prairie served two low and moderate-income residents with CDBG-CV funds to prevent, prepare
for and respond to the coronavirus. The races served with these funds were White (1) and Black/African
American (1).

The CDBG funds that the City receives go towards leveraging other government and private
funds by the subrecipients. The City does not use these funds to leverage funds that benefit
the City directly. Many of the public service subrecipients who receive City of Eden Prairie CDBG
funds use these funds to leverage other funds, including those from private foundations,
private individual donors, as well as other City funds. PROP and Senior Community Services
together leverage the following amounts:
Federal Funds - $75,000
Local Funds - $513,000

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting
these goals.
The City of Eden Prairie exceeded their affordable housing unit goal this year. The current trend of low
inventory of existing homes, rising home costs and higher interest rates makes affordable
homeownership a challenge for many low and moderate-income families. Despite these obstacles, the
City was able to provide down payment assistance to two first time home buyers using CDBG funds
during 2023. The City also finances its First Time Homebuyer program with TIF funds that have a 100%
AMI income limit. Three first time homebuyers were able to purchase homes in Eden Prairie using these
CAPER 10
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
higher income TIF funds. During 2023, the city was able to partner with WHAHLT to apply for and
receive and LHIA grant from the Met Council. This grant matches the city’s investment in the acquisition
of affordable land trust properties. WHAHLT was able to acquire two properties in Eden Prairie during
2023 using these matching LHIA grant funds. These properties were sold to two low and moderate-
income homebuyers. Sixteen people received rental and mortgage assistance through PROP which
helped the families avoid homelessness through eviction and foreclosure. The City's housing rehab
program exceeded its goal of eight homes by rehabilitating twenty-eight homes during 2023. Of these
twenty-eight homes, eleven were also a part of the Emergency Rehab program. Through the rehab
program, sustainability and affordability are maintained. One obstacle the City encountered with its
housing rehab program was supply chain issues, securing project bids and finding reliable contractors.
Contractors are busier than usual which is causing a delay in bid submission and job completion. In order
to address these obstacles in 2024, the City plans to work with the inspections department to identify
contractors who are reliable and are able to complete projects in a timely manner.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
All of the City’s housing programs had positive outcomes during 2023. The City would like to increase
the number of households served with these programs as well as the First Time Homebuyer Program.
The City will continue to market its First Time Homebuyer Program in 2024 to attract more first time
homebuyers in Eden Prairie. Currently, the City of Eden Prairie is able to use current and prior year
program income to fund the First Time Homebuyer and Housing Rehab programs which will help
increase outcomes in 2024. During 2023, the city has seen a decline in program income due to loan
recipients remaining in their homes due to high interest rates. If this trend continues during 2024, the
City will look to support these programs through our CDBG Entitlement Grant funds and TIF funds.

Narrative Information
The City of Eden Prairie is continually trying to add new affordable housing units and maintain the
condition of existing units. The City works with developers as they come into the City with a new
development to add affordable units. In order to maintain the housing stock, the City offers a Deferred
Housing Rehabilitation loan using its CDBG funds. The loans assist those individuals whose income is at
CAPER 11
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
or below 80 percent of the area median income, many of whom live in the more affordable housing
stock in the City, to maintain the quality of home.
Eden Prairie seeks ways to make affordable housing a reality for families of low and moderate
income. The Eden Prairie First Time Homebuyer Program offers a zero interest, deferred loan with the
City of Eden Prairie holding a second mortgage on the property. The deferred loan helps first time
homebuyers offset the cost of purchasing a home by providing assistance with down payment, closing
costs, and mortgage principal reduction. Repayment of the loan is required when the home is sold or no
longer homesteaded within the first 30 years. After 30 years, the loan becomes due and
payable. Financial assistance is provided up to $15,000, but the current loan amount is $10,000 due to
availability of funds and the number of requests for funding. The City is brainstorming ways to adjust
this program for successful outcomes during a difficult housing market and ways to target households of
color.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Eden Prairie is collaborating with Onward Eden Prairie to provide housing to youth who are homeless or
at risk of homelessness. The program offers supportive housing with supervision and case
management to help young people get the education and job skills to lift them out of
poverty. MoveFwd, funded through the City of Eden Prairie General Fund, provides homeless teens
with safe housing. MoveFwd has launched a Host Home program in Eden Prairie that matches a
homeless teen with a volunteer family to provide a longer term safe housing environment for the teen.
The City of Eden Prairie is part of the Hennepin County Consortium and when presented with someone
needing access to services to reduce or end homelessness refers them to a network of social service
agencies as well as Hennepin County. The programs and resources highlighted within this objective are
available to Eden Prairie residents.
Hennepin County hosts robust outreach programs for the unsheltered homeless populations provided
by nonprofit organizations, including extensive specialist youth outreach connected to Sexually
Exploited Youth programming and other youth specific services. Outreach is provided at encampment
sites as well as locations where people experiencing homelessness are known to congregate including
parks, overpasses, abandoned structures, public transit and other places not meant for human
habitation. Outreach programs conduct initial engagement, harm minimization, and connection to
services for people who are unsheltered. They conduct assessments and assist people in navigating
through the Continuum of Care’s (CoC) Coordinated Entry System (CES).
To address the disproportionate number of unsheltered Native Americans in the community, Hennepin
County worked with a Native American-specific agency to launch culturally specific outreach and low-
barrier housing programs. There are now four housing programs offering a total of 70 units of non-time
limited supportive housing for people coming directly from the streets with chemical dependency issues
and desiring culturally specific services. Culturally specific and low barrier shelter programs have also
been recently established and are covered in the shelter section below.
In 2023 Hennepin County launched its own ‘Streets to Housing’ team to provide trauma-informed,
person centered and housing focused outreach at encampment sites specifically. This team of six differs
from the standard outreach modality in offering highly visible regular structured service events at
encampments and other hot spots – identified by people with lived experience of homelessness who
helped co-develop the program – that are focused almost exclusively on achieving housing outcomes. In
less than a year this team has achieved 124 exits to permanent housing and 89 exits to emergency
CAPER 13
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
shelter directly from unsheltered homelessness. Hennepin County’s Healthcare for the Homeless team
also has a robust outreach presence, offering harm minimization, wound treatment and Medically
Assisted Treatment services among other healthcare directly to those unsheltered or staying outdoors.
Healthcare for the Homeless recently opened a drop-in clinic on a new permanent supportive housing
and medical respite campus that can be directly accessed by people experiencing unsheltered
homelessness. Hennepin Continuum of Care also includes two intensive ‘Opportunity Center’ daytime
drop-ins.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Eden Prairie has worked extensively with local agencies to respond to homelessness. Programs through
PROP and HOMELine provide services to help with housing related emergencies, such as tenant-landlord
issues and housing assistance. MoveFwd, funded through the Eden Prairie general fund, provides youth
experiencing housing instability with safe housing. Immanual Lutheran owns a property in Eden Prairie
that serves as a supportive housing program for youth seeking stable housing. PROP provided Homeless
Prevention assistance using CDBG and CDBG-CV funds. CDBG-CV funds were used for rental and
mortgage assistance to help low and moderate-income Eden Prairie residents who were adversely
affected by the coronavirus remain in their homes. Many of these families lost jobs or were unable to
work because of the coronavirus. The City of Eden Prairie is part of the Hennepin County Consortium
and has access to Hennepin County programs and resources.
Hennepin County is the primary funder of single adult, family, and youth-specific shelters in the
community. This includes the only shelter-all policy for families in the State of Minnesota. Prior to the
pandemic Hennepin County had drastically increased its support of the homeless response system for
single adults. The County has funded new case management services in the larger shelter, converted
shelters to accommodate couples together and provided more systematic training. All of these
improvements were co-created with input from the Street Voices of Change advocacy group comprised
of people who are experiencing, or who have experienced, homelessness in our community. Hennepin
used ESG-CV and CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Funds to create a successful “Hotels to Housing” case
management team. Their efforts moved 464 people from the hotels to permanent housing in early 2022
without returns to homelessness.
As Hennepin County moved from emergency response to long-term recovery, the county board
approved more than $40m in funding to support equitable homelessness recovery strategies. These
investments made possible:
• four entirely new 24/7 shelters to address unmet needs: a culturally specific shelter run by the
American Indian Community Development Corporation (50 beds), a non-congregate shelter specializing
in chemical/mental health for people coming from encampment settings (100 beds), a medical respite
shelter (30 beds) and a women’s only shelter with intensive services (30 beds)
• enhanced existing shelters through investments in physical improvements, de-concentration of guests,
CAPER 14
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
increased case management and moving 75% of all programs to 24/7 operations.
• eliminated all self-pay in family shelter
• created an extensive new case management team modelled on the ‘Hotels to Housing’ success. This
team has moved 592 people into permanent housing since early 2022
• The Hennepin Shelter Hotline single point of entry offering shelter diversion assistance as appropriate
and connection to bed reservations across the system as needed.
At present the community provides 115 family shelter rooms, supplemented by significant overflow
space through Hennepin County. As of September 2023, family overflow space consists of a further ~250
rooms. There are 733 congregate shelter beds for single adults, 100 non-congregate beds and 86 youth-
specific shelter beds. Hennepin has retained some Transitional Housing, particularly for youth or
households experiencing domestic violence, while others have been reshaped into Rapid Rehousing
opportunities in line with HUD’s overall direction on transitional housing.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The City of Eden Prairie combats homelessness in several ways including those currently homeless or
formerly or likely to become homeless. For example, the city continues to provide funding to Onward
Eden Prairie to support transitional housing for young women and non-binary individuals with a place to
stay while learning life skills including living with others, preparing a resume and job hunting, and living
independently. Part of their modest rent under this unique model is matched and put into escrow that
can be accessed for housing or education upon leaving the home. While a small organization, Onward
plans to expand dramatically under its “25 by ’25” program by which it aims to house 25 individuals by
the year 2025.
Eden Prairie also aims to stave off homelessness by providing substantial funding to HOMELine, a
tenants’ rights non-profit that helps thousands of Minnesotans annually and dozens locally understand
their rights and responsibilities in maintaining housing, including going through with legal processes
when necessary. In 2023, Housing & Community Services welcomed HOMELine out to speak to local
property managers through its Property Managers Collaborative and advise them on historic changes to
tenant & landlord law in Minnesota. This popular session provided needed education on changes
including eviction procedures.
Passing a Tenant Protection Ordinance was another way Eden Prairie attempts to prevent homelessness
CAPER 15
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
or ease the transition to another residence if continued tenancy is not possible. The Ordinance prevents
evictions without just cause, and provides for three months rent payable to the tenant if they are
displaced in contradiction of its requirements.
Finally, the City acts to prevent potential homelessness by funding the local non-profit People Reaching
Out to People (PROP). For several years now the city has invested substantially in rental assistance made
available through PROP. Staff maintains close contact with PROP to stay abreast of trends in what their
low and moderate-income clients are experiencing in the housing marketplace. Unfortunately, during
and post-Covid many renters have fallen behind on rental payments. The City consulted PROP to help
with planning the best way to use CDBG funds to prevent homelessness. Covid-19, high inflation and
increased rental costs increased the risk of homelessness for Eden Prairie residents during 2023. The
City used CDBG-CV funding to address homelessness during 2023 by supporting PROP through rental
assistance for low and moderate-income residents affected by Covid. The City refers residents in crisis to
PROP and relies on PROP to forward their data to the City so that we can prevent homelessness before it
becomes a problem. The City believes that funding PROP is a high priority in the fight against
homelessness.
As part of the County Consortium, Eden Prairie has access to Hennepin County’s programs and
resources. Hennepin County works across Departments and with local providers and foundations to
coordinate homeless prevention programs and move homeless prevention assistance upstream. Coming
out of the pandemic eviction moratorium, an Eviction Reduction project was developed to provide legal
representation to tenants facing eviction and to connect those facing eviction with economic and social
services that will avoid eviction or otherwise achieve housing stability.
Since 2021, all low-income clients who appear in housing court are offered an attorney as well as tenant
navigation and support services. The most recent data shows that tenants served are approximately
80% Black, Indigenous and people of color and experiencing extreme poverty. The Housing Stability
department has created an online renter’s help tool to not only provide information and resources, but
to link individuals to the application process for assistance.
Hennepin County has hired a Housing Resource Specialist to provide training and consultancy on
housing resources to Child Protection, Corrections and other Hennepin County departments that serve
at risk individuals and households. Finally, Hennepin County’s Healthcare for the Homeless team has
developed discharge specialist capacity to work on preventing discharges from the Hennepin County
Medical Center to homelessness.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
CAPER 16
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The Coordinated Entry System allows for the identification of people most appropriate for permanent
supportive housing and those who can benefit from rapid rehousing or transitional housing. Priority is
given to veterans who cannot be served through veteran specific resources, and then to individuals who
are chronically homeless. In 2023 a new ‘medical fragility’ assessment was developed in partnership
with Healthcare for the Homeless to allow for prioritization for people at greatest risk of medical
complications.
Hennepin County makes extensive use of by-name lists, case conferencing and housing focused case
management. Using this approach, more than 1,416 individual Veterans have been stably housed in
Hennepin County since 2015 cutting veteran homelessness in half. Hennepin County has been selected
by Community Solutions as a ‘Big City Last Mile’ participant based on our progress reducing chronic
homelessness. Since the introduction of the ‘Chronic Index’ in June 2017, a total of 1,469 chronically
homeless individuals have moved to permanent housing (with a ~93% housing stability rate).
The City of Eden Prairie has access to these services and refers anyone needing help to the above
services and to the extent possible, follows up to ensure the proper assistance was provided.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
Eden Prairie has seen the bulk of its population growth and building activity after the active construction
years of the Public Housing program. As such Eden Prairie does not own or manage any public housing
assets. It does include, however, a small number of single family publicly owned homes under the
oversight and management of the Metropolitan Council’s Metro HRA under its Family Affordable
Housing Program (the exact number and location of these is kept private by the HRA). In addition, Eden
Prairie is home to three well-located Section 8 Project-Based complexes totaling approximately 300
units. This modest collection of traditionally subsidized units forms a core for affordability in the city
while new units are added through more localized financing structures.
While the dearth of public housing facilities limits efforts to address issues in them, the City stays active
in trying to preserve affordability where opportunities arise. For example, Eden Prairie was approached
by Columbine Townhomes, a LIHTC-financed property that also benefited from the local CDBG program.
The property was facing a backlog of repairs and repayment of the CDBG note threatened to make the
issue worse. Property ownership and management were facing the prospect of potentially going market
rate but first approached the city to explore potential solutions. The city worked with Cornerstone to
ensure they will continue to maintain the affordability of 100% of the units for an additional 10 years
and commit to making the proposed capital improvements. The improvements include improvements to
the exterior, interior, and mechanical components of the townhomes. In exchange for the affordability
and improvements, the city agreed to make the loan forgivable once the improvements have been
made.
The city has also created a Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) Multifamily Action Plan that
articulates a vision for trying to preserve older, unsubsidized, private market housing before it
purchased by outside entities who often want to ‘upscale’ or ‘rebrand’ the properties leaving existing
tenants in the lurch. Identifying about 18 potential NOAH properties in the city, staff continues to look
for funding sources to match new state funding for NOAH preservation. The Tenant Protection
Ordinance mentioned in CR-25 is seen as a relative backstop against the sometimes-harmful effects of a
NOAH conversion that cannot be avoided.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
The City encourages low and moderate-income residents to participate in homeownership by providing
a First Time Homebuyer Program that offers downpayment assistance to low and moderate-income first
time homebuyers. Eden Prairie requires participants of the program to attend a HUD approved Home
Stretch course or an online course through Framework. These programs provide the certification
necessary for applicants to be eligible for Eden Prairie homeownership programs.
CAPER 18
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
As mentioned, the City of Eden Prairie does not have public housing hence there are no troubled
PHAs. Maintaining, preserving, and adding to the City’s affordable housing stock has, however, been a
priority for the city for many years. Using CDBG and “pooled TIF” funds, the housing rehabilitation
program has allowed low and mod-income homeowners to stay in their homes, yet maintain the quality
of the unit, many of which are affordable.
The City also offers a Housing Improvement Area (HIA) program to assist homeowner associations in
making necessary structural improvements to keep the properties viable. HIA’s are offered as “last
resort” financing to homeowners’ associations who are unable to secure bank financing to pay for the
improvements. HIA’s are structured to assess the amount of the loan to the individual homeowner’s
property tax and repaid over a period of 15 years. Although rarely accessed, this product is one of the
only viable options for common interest communities (CICs) in need of assistance.
Finally, the city and developers of new housing work together to include affordable housing in their
developments and to maintain the long-term affordability of these units. It does so primarily through
the city’s active use of TIF and requirement for affordable housing under its Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance. Using these tools, the number of subsidized multifamily units in Eden Prairie will soon near
1,500 affordable units. Under the city’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, if a project receives TIF
assistance from Eden Prairie it must not only provide the mandatory 20% affordable to households at or
below 50% of AMI but add an additional 5% at or below 80% and hold those latter units affordable in
perpetuity. While this activity has slowed with rising rates, new proposals at present are smaller in scale
with a wider array of typologies.
CAPER 19
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
A set of recommendations from a 2020-21 Housing Task Force researched various housing policies and
made specific proposals to city officials on steps they might take to support the construction,
rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable housing in Eden Prairie. In addition to the Inclusionary
Ordinance and NOAH Action Plan, the city has adopted the recommendation of creating a flexible (both
in terms of what funds can be put in it and what activities it can be used for) Affordable Housing Trust
Fund, hoping to capitalize on state matching funds written in law but not yet made available. Also, with
the increase in sales tax dedicated to housing, the city expects approximately $500,000 per year in
additional housing revenue that may or may not be deployed through the fund.
In any case, these actions will help close gaps in project pro formas that are in due part to costs of local
regulation among other uses. Along these lines, the city’s Planning Division has been actively looking at
its land use, parking and building codes to look for efficiencies and streamlining when appropriate.
Particularly in the city’s transit-oriented station areas and its Major Town Center area, we look to tailor
our requirements (in areas such as density waivers, reduced parking, etc.) such that they are ideal for
populations respective developments will serve according to their needs, habits, and preferences. The
city also looks to its municipal financial advisor, Ehlers, to ensure profit margins on properties involving
city financing are appropriate and in line with industry standards and do not unduly enrich developers.
The city participates in the Fair Housing Implementation Council (FHIC), a regional housing consortium
that works on region-wide fair housing strategies. Funding members of the FHIC include Ramsey, Anoka,
Hennepin, Carver, Dakota, Scott, and Washington counties, the cities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie,
Minneapolis, Plymouth, Saint Paul, and Woodbury, and the Metropolitan Council. The primary purpose
of the FHIC is to work collectively and with a regional outlook in drafting the analysis of impediments for
which HUD grantees are responsible. This document is prepared every five years, and outlines in detail
the impediments to fair housing responsible for or thought to be responsible for inequities in the
regional housing market. In its time when not soliciting a consultant to help prepare the analysis,
member funds are spent on projects that directly correspond to one or more identified impediments.
For example, the FHIC is currently in the process of selecting among proposals submitted by local non-
profits to enhance or address two AI-identified items—supporting homeownership for households of
color and ensuring equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics, that are lower-
income, or that are currently homeless or at risk of homelessness. Prior awards were made, for
example, to host fair housing trainings for landlords and tenants, prevent evictions, and to develop a
culturally relevant homebuyer education curriculum.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City is in contact with a number of non-profit agencies, which coordinate and provide assistance for
those that have underserved needs. Some of those agencies, such as PROP and Senior Community
Services, are funded with Eden Prairie CDBG funds. HCS staff participate in the Community Ed Impact
Council to stay updated on changing community needs through updates from local non-profit
organizations. The City continues to partner with the YMCA and Briarhill, the project-based Section
8 development, to offer a year round program for youth residing in the complex. This program provides
tutoring and after school activities at no cost to Briarhill residents. This program has brought an
educational, fun program to over thirty youth who otherwise would not have been able to participate
due to financial and transportation constraints.
The City facilitated a partnership between Senior Community Services (SCS) and the Eden Prairie Fire
Department to provide additional assistance to seniors in need. These seniors are identified by
emergency response personnel during calls for assistance for things such as falls or welfare checks. SCS
provided follow up calls to offer additional services. The HCS Somali Liaison connects vulnerable elderly
Somali residents with other families that can assist them with household chores and care for their
needs.
In summer 2022, the City launched the Eden Prairie Race Equity Action Team, made up of staff from all
six City departments to coordinate implementation of the Eden Prairie Race Equity Report and other
diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Departments worked to include race equity goals into their
current work plans and are coordinating to create a dashboard that will be publicly available for
residents to track progress made. The staff team meets monthly to collaborate on shared initiatives,
seek input from one another and coordinate future actions. From July 2023 until June 2024, the Eden
Prairie Race Equity Action Team sent out a follow up Equity and Inclusion survey to the 2020 survey and
spent time reviewing the data from the survey. The Eden Prairie Race Equity Action Team also received
diversity, equity, and inclusion training in foundational language and communication from the HR team.
The Eden Prairie Race Equity Action Team continue to implement action items to address obstacles in
the community.
Additionally, the City worked with the Human Rights and Diversity Commission to provide more
outreach to the larger community. The Human Rights and Diversity Commission, from July 2023 until
June 2024, focused on community engagement and outreach. The commission focused on disability
advocacy, highlighting cultural events, and reviewing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts. The Human
Rights and Diversity Commission worked on the annual Human Rights Award, a writing contest for
Martin Luther King Jr Day called Words in Action and brought in speakers to discuss pertinent topics
such as ADA, Civil Rights, and the Fair Housing Act. The Human Rights and Diversity Commission
continue to meet on a monthly basis.
In 2023, the Eden Prairie Police Department (EPPD) continued to partner with Hennepin County to
maintain a full time embedded social worker within the Police Department. This role is designed to
CAPER 21
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
provide additional supportive services to residents and minimize law enforcement contact in instances
where social support is more appropriate. Staff connected individuals with chemical health resources
and interacted with the EPPD’s Mental Health Unit.
Housing & Community Services has Somali, Spanish and Hmong speaking staff to allow residents to
express the needs of their community in their preferred language. This allows residents to participate
personally instead of requiring the use of a translator or family member. The City provides employment
assistance to job seekers with limited English skills and computer competencies. Staff assist with on-line
job applications and resume building. The HCS Somali liaison provided unemployment and job assistance
to 802 Eden Prairie residents who are unemployed or under employed. The liaison created the East
African Eden Prairie Connection WhatsApp group for the Somali community to address community
issues and concerns and connect them to resources. A community meeting was held to address youth
mental health and behavioral and school concerns. A second meeting was held to address the needs of
elderly Somali residents and connect them to resources in the community.
The City participates in the Regional Housing Preservation Work Group. This is a group comprised by
local City staffs, housing advocacy groups, and others including the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency and the Metropolitan Council. The group is working on strategies to promote and actively
preserve affordable housing, particularly in key areas threatened by gentrification such as communities
along the proposed Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT) line.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Participants in the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program who reside in a house built prior to 1978 are
required to have their home tested for lead-based paint prior to receiving a loan. The lead-based paint
testing is completed by Hennepin County. If lead hazards are found, they must be corrected, and the
home must pass a clearance test before the project is considered complete. If the clearance test does
not pass, the corrections and re-testing must continue until the home does pass. This process is
completed following HUD regulations and guidelines. If lead is found in the home and children are
present, the City will work with the county to help the family apply for county grants in order to address
the lead hazards. These grants will provide for temporary housing of the family while the work is being
performed as well as paying for a portion of the lead abatement work. Once the home has passed a
clearance test, the family will be allowed to move back home. The housing stock in Eden Prairie is newer
and there are not many households that participate in the housing rehabilitation program that are built
prior to 1978.
Since 2004, Hennepin County has taken a comprehensive approach to preventing childhood lead
poisoning including community outreach and education, in-home lead education visits, lead risk
assessments, lead hazard reduction, and contractor training. To date, Hennepin County has been
awarded 13 HUD Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes grants, totaling $43 million.
Hennepin County was awarded a 2022 lead based paint grant for $6.7 million to run through 2025. Since
2003, the lead grant programs have completed over 5300 lead hazard reduction projects. Hennepin
CAPER 22
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
County is also administering a grant award from the Centers for Disease Control that is allowing us to
increase our outreach and education especially to the most at risk populations and geographies through
mini grants to community partners who already serve and are trusted in the targeted populations and
geographies. These grants demonstrate Hennepin County's continued efforts to provide affordable and
safe housing to its residents while working toward the goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning. The
funds may be used throughout Hennepin County. A typical lead reduction project includes window
replacement, paint stabilization and lead dust cleaning.
Ten members of the Hennepin County Housing and Economic Development (HED) department have
received the proper training and are licensed risk assessors. Single Family Rehabilitation program
guidelines have been modified to incorporate requirements pertaining to the Lead Safe Housing Rule for
project planning, inspection, and monitoring. The County draws from a small group of contractors who
are qualified and able to perform the lead hazard reduction work properly. HED has an ongoing
relationship with the County's health department to assist with the rehabilitation activities when an
elevated blood (EBL) level is identified in an income eligible client in a suburban community. This
partnership is expanded under our CDC grant award to offer in home risk assessment to families with
children who have tested above 5 µg/dl, the current CDC reference level.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City works to reduce the number of persons living below the poverty level in several ways. First, the
City contributes 15 percent of its total annual CDBG allocation to public services. Some of these public
services, including PROP, directly work toward reducing the number of persons living below the poverty
level. Secondly, the City provides financial assistance to WHAHLT, to provide permanently affordable
owner-occupied housing. The City also provides financial assistance (outside of CDBG funds) for
community education programs that occur at Briarhill which is a site based Section 8 properties and
provide critical programming and services aimed at helping residents become more self-sufficient.
The City provides employment assistance to job seekers with limited English skills and computer
competencies. Staff assist with on-line job applications and resume building in order to help families
gain stable employment and move out of poverty.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City of Eden Prairie works in collaboration with local faith based initiatives and social services
programs to help newly arriving immigrants navigate the “systems” such as the school system, the park
& rec programs available, etc., to help them take full advantage of the services that are offered. This
enhanced coordination of efforts helps immigrants and people who are new to the low and moderate-
income status make better choices for themselves and their families.

CAPER 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Housing and Community Services (HCS) is a division of the Community Development Department of the
City of Eden Prairie. Within HCS, housing staff administer the First Time Home Buyer and Housing Land
Trust programs which help low and moderate-income individuals and families attain homeownership.
These staff also administer the housing rehabilitation program which makes structural and energy
enhancements and repairs to the homes of low and moderate-income people.
The Housing and Community Services Specialist position in this Division works closely with the 40 multi-
family rental properties. Eden Prairie Property Manager Collaborative meets on a regular basis and
includes a community spotlight on social services and guest speakers. Fire and Police Department
liaisons also participate in meetings, HCS staff also work with the local emergency service providers and
members of the faith community to match the needs to the resources available in the community and
the region.
To establish and maintain relationships with the owners and manager of the city’s approximately 40
multifamily buildings, the Eden Prairie Property Manager Collaborative meets on a regular basis and
includes a community spotlight on social services and guest speakers. Fire and Police Department
liaisons also participate in meetings, HCS staff also work with the local emergency service providers and
members of the faith community to match the needs to the resources available in the community and
the region. The goals are to improve landlord / tenant relations and promote best practices in
management.
The City provides annual grant funding to PROP, the local emergency services provider, to help people
who are at risk of homelessness. The City works in collaboration with PROP case managers and
managers of multi-family developments to locate and secure affordable units to house families and
individuals at risk of homelessness.
Eden Prairie Fire conducts annual health and safety inspections of multifamily units throughout the
community. Fire staff manage health and safety risks that are covered by ordinance, and work
collaboratively with HCS and local non profits to make referrals for issues that impact quality of living
but are not within the scope of City inspection standards.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the
jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a)
Homeownership perceived as unattainable by some households of color.
The First Time Home Buyer Program and the Housing Land Trust program are opportunities for
households of color to overcome financial barriers to homeownership. The City has worked with
realtors and lenders who serve minority populations to market these programs. The HCS Somali liaison
is available to assist households of color with the first time homebuyer application process.
New state resources have become available to help first-generation homebuyers attain what their
CAPER 24
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
families haven’t to date, owning their own home. The state funding has been split between Mid-
Minnesota CDC’s FirstGenDPA program and Minnesota Housing’s First-Generation Homebuyer program,
offering up to $32,000 and $35,000, respectively. Minnesota Housing’s program uses its traditional,
established lender network that the city already uses for its local first-time homebuyer efforts. Because
of this close linkage, staff will be able to direct clients who have never owned a home nor have their
parents to a higher assistance level, enabling the city to further leverage its own funding and assist many
households of color attain home ownership.
NIMBY-ism with regard to siting and placement of affordable housing.
Generally speaking, the city uses a “scattered site” housing strategy to avoid the concentration of
affordable housing developments. Increasingly, however, as opportunity sites dwindled, interest has
intensified around four light rail transit stations the city will host on the Twin Cities’ Green Line. For
example, Greco’s Company’s The Fox and the Grouse development will add 425 new housing units at
the Golden Triangle station, with a quarter of them affordable.
Other potential opportunities also being contemplated are the former Vikings training facility and the
outer reaches of Eden Prairie Center, with early plans including dense multifamily housing as a
significant part of redevelopment visioning at both large sites. The city requires that developers engage
affected residents about potential housing developments early in the process.
The relative success the city had in bringing new multifamily projects online since 2017 has sparked
some NIMBY-ism with some residents asking, ‘how much is enough?’ and raising typical concerns such
as loss of property value, increased traffic, and crime. To help combat this, staff has been working with
and providing data and expertise to the nascent Eden Prairie Housing Alliance, which has as its main goal
increasing awareness of the importance of affordable housing for a healthy and equitable community.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance
of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning
requirements
In addition to receiving reports, the City also conducts an on-site monitoring visit of each
subrecipient. These on-site monitoring visits consist of review of files for compliance with federal
regulations, general program review with the subrecipient, and follow-up to ensure any problems found
are being resolved. In addition to on-site monitoring, the City reviews its active files quarterly to verify
subrecipients are expending their funds in a timely manner. On-site monitoring is completed biannually
and was completed during the spring of 2024. No concerns were found during the monitoring or with
the quarterly reports submitted by the agencies. The next on-site monitoring will be conducted in the
spring of 2026 during the 2025 program year.
Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to
comment on performance reports.
Eden Prairie’s Citizen Participation Plan calls for Eden Prairie’s Annual Action Plan to be available for
thirty days for public comment. The City solicited public comments from February 3, 2023 – March 6,
2023. This thirty-day comment period was published in the Sun Sailor on February 2, 2023 and the goal
was to solicit comments from the public regarding the 2023 Annual Action Plan. For the 2023 program
year, the Eden Prairie City Council held a public hearing on March 7, 2023, and allowed the public to
comment on the proposed activities. Notice of the public hearing was published on February 2, 2023, in
the Sun Sailor. Representatives from PROP, Senior Community Services and WHAHLT addressed the City
Council during the Public Hearing to express their gratitude for past funding and to answer any
questions the Council members may have. No citizens participated in the public hearing. The plan was
made available on the City’s website and a copy of the plan was available for review at Eden Prairie City
Center and Eden Prairie Library. No questions or comments were received during the thirty-day
comment period.
The City of Eden Prairie’s citizen participation process includes an RFP process that allows non-profit
agencies to apply for CDBG funding. Through this process, the City engages with social service providers,
the faith community and school district staff to learn about the needs in the community and how to best
allocate public service funds in the most effective manner.
Throughout the year, the Eden Prairie City Council holds various Town Hall meetings in the community
to gather feedback and input on issues facing Eden Prairie residents. During 2023, the City Council held
town hall events with senior residents, the business community and with residents that represent
CAPER 26
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
diversity in Eden Prairie. The events were well attended, and information was shared on available
resources and opportunities as well as addressing resident’s needs and concerns.
Notice of the public hearing for the CAPER was published on August 15, 2024, in the Sun Sailor. Copies of
the draft CAPER were available on Eden Prairie’s website, https://www.edenprairie.org/CAPER,
from August 15-August 30, 2024. Translation of the CAPER was available upon request. The Eden Prairie
City council held a public hearing on September 3, 2024, to solicit public comments on the CAPER. No
comments were received regarding Eden Prairie’s CAPER. After the City’s public hearing, Hennepin
County held a 15 day public comment period for the Consortium’s 2023 CAPER from September 10,
2024-September 26, 2024. The county’s public hearing was held on September 24, 2024, and no
comments were received regarding Eden Prairie’s portion of the CAPER. Action Plans and CAPER reports
are available to the public on the website or upon request.
CR-45 - CDBG 91.520(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction’s program objectives
and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its
experiences.
The City of Eden Prairie continues to utilize its CDBG funds in a variety of ways to create and maintain
affordable housing. The City believes that the variety of activities it offers is well balanced and serves
the needs of the community. Our goals are to allow people the opportunity to remain in their
homes. The Rehabilitation Loan Program, HOME program, and PROP Homeless Prevention Program met
this goal.
Eden Prairie expended its remaining CDBG-CV funds in PY 2023. These remaining funds were used to
prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus through PROP’s emergency rental assistance
program. The City supported PROP and their homeless prevention program that provided rental
assistance to low and moderate-income Eden Prairie residents adversely affected by the coronavirus.
Currently, the City has no plans to significantly change the activities it offers and believes our goals are
on target as to the number of people served by each activity. The City has been persistent in using
CDBG and local funds to the maximum capacity.

The 2023 Quality of Life Survey provided residents the opportunity to rate the quality of life in the City of Eden Prairie, as well as the quality of service delivery and overall workings of local government. The survey also permitted residents to provide feedback to government on what is working well and what is not, and to share their priorities for community planning and resource allocation. The City uses the biannual citizen survey as one input tool for the budget. Key Findings Eden Prairie is a highly desirable and safe place to live.
• Eden Prairie residents continue to rate their quality of life highly, with 92% awarding excellent or good marks in 2023, which is higher than national and regional peer benchmarks and similar to Minnesota benchmarks.
• The overall feeling of safety in Eden Prairie remains high, with a rating of 92% excellent or good. Eden Prairie’s natural environment, parks and recreation opportunities are valued by residents.
• The quality of the overall natural environment in Eden Prairie also continues to be rated highly with 92% rating it as excellent or good. This rating is higher than national, regional, and Minnesota comparable cities.
• When asked to choose their favorite thing about living in Eden Prairie, 30% of residents chose to mention parks, trails, and recreation centers. City services continue to be highly ranked among peers.
• In 2023, about 9 in 10 rated the overall quality of Eden Prairie services as excellent or good, a rating on par with 2020. This measure ranked higher or much higher than national, regional and Minnesota benchmarks. Residents are familiar with and see the value of sustainability.

The survey provides valuable input and demonstrates evidence of overall satisfaction with City services.
Tax Base The ability to levy and collect taxes is based on property market values, tax capacities, and the City tax rates. Below is a history of the City’s estimated market value of all residential and commercial property.
The current estimated market value for taxes payable in 2025 is a market value increase to $14.5 billion, which is a 1% increase over 2024. The table below shows the history of market value, adjusted net tax capacity and the City tax rate since 2021.
Below summarizes the City’s tax impact for residential, apartment, and commercial properties based on current information from the County.

Tax Levy and Budget
Below summarizes the proposed total tax levy and budget. Tax Levy
Budget
Debt Levy
For 2025 debt payments supported by the tax levy are projected to remain 4% to 5% of the general fund budget. The City has a policy of maintaining a percentage of 5% to 15% of the general fund budget as we consider this to be a moderate debt burden. Moody’s Investors Service has assigned a rating of Aaa to the City of Eden Prairie’s (MN) bond for every debt issue since 2003, the highest rating from Moody’s. Standard & Poor’s has also assigned a rating of AAA to the City of Eden Prairie’s bonds outstanding, their higher rating as well. This ensures the City receives the most competitive interest rates. The City’s bond ratings reflect Eden Prairie’s extensive and diversified tax base, low amount of rapidly amortized debt, and capably managed operations. For 2025, the total debt levy is the same as 2024 or $2,401,316. The City currently has two bonds that are supported by the debt levy. These include the Aquatics expansion at the

Community Center and refunded bonds for the SouthWest Fire Station and for Park Improvements including the community center, park, and trails. Below summarizes the detail of the 2025 debt levy.
Capital Levy
The City prepares a ten-year capital improvement plan and updates the plan every other year. The Capital Improvement and Maintenance fund (CIMF) pays for capital projects that do not have another funding source, for example, playground replacement, repair and expansion of trails, parks – parking lot maintenance, public safety radio replacement, etc. The CIMF is funded through liquor operations profit, rental income, antenna revenue, a tax levy, miscellaneous revenue, and one-time funds the City receives. For example, when the general fund has positive operating results, amounts not needed to meet the fund balance policy have been transferred to the CIMF. The capital levy is the same amount as 2024 and is $400,000 annually.

General Fund Revenue Budget
Below summarizes the 2025 proposed General Fund Revenue Budget.
Property tax revenue is the single largest source of revenue and the City strives to balance increases in property taxes with the demand for City services. Property taxes account for 78% of the General Fund budget. The tax levy in the proposed budget is increasing 5.8% for 2025. Charges for services is the second largest revenue source and accounts for 10% of the General Fund Budget. Charges for services are increasing $107,022 or 1.8% in 2025. The increase is due to expected improved performance at the community center as it continues to rebound from the impacts of COVID. Licenses and permits revenue is the third largest revenue source to the General Fund and accounts for 7% of the General Fund revenues. Licenses and permits remains relatively flat for 2025. Significant items to note include the following:
• Building permit and fees revenue was held flat for 2025 as we budget a higher increase every other year. The below history shows acutal amounts to 2023 and then budgeted amounts to 2025.
2024 2025 Percent

• Cable TV is remaining flat in 2025. As you can see from the graph, cable revenue dropped in 2018 and is remaining relatively consistent each year.
Intergovernmental revenue (IGR) sources includes Federal and State grants, State aid, School Liaison, and other local grants. For 2025, IGR is increasing to $1,885,585 which is an increase of $17,410 or .9%. Starting in 2023, the School District will be splitting the cost of the School Resource Officer’s (SRO) wages and benefits 50/50 with the city, which is consistent with our surrounding peers. Currently, there are 4 SROs for the 2023-2024 school year, which will increase to 4.5 SROs for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years. Below is a history of the IGR revenue (without COVID money in 2020-2022).

Other revenues that the General Fund receives consists of fines and penalties, contributions, interest income, reimbursements and transfers–in. These revenues make-up 2% of General Fund Revenues. General Fund Expenditure Budget
Revenues Less Expenses for 2025 are ($550,000). The City anticipates using the remaining ARPA money to offset the revenue shortfall.

Expenses Adopted Proposed Difference Change

Expenditures are proposed to increase 4.3% in 2025. The following graph shows budget changes by category:
Since the City provides significant services to the community, wages and benefits make up 69% percent of the general fund budget. The most significant categories include wages, pension and taxes, health insurance, part-time wages, and workers compensation insurance. Other significant costs include amounts to maintain facilities, fleet services, information technology, and electricity. These items make up another 18.2% of the budget. All other items make up 12.8% of the budget. The chart below illustrates the budget by category.
12
Below provides information on the significant items in the budget. Full-Time Wages With a staff of 238 full-time employees in the general and internal service funds, the City provides its residents and businesses with a full range of municipal services consisting of police and fire protection, street maintenance, recreation programs, park maintenance, community and economic development, and building inspections. Wages are proposed to increase 7.1% in 2025. This includes a 3% base increase, step increases and performance pay. Through staff turnover, the City usually sees budget reduction as new staff are many times hired at a lower rate. However, new employees earn step increases and performance pay until they reach the target rate for their position, which then adds additional increases to the budget. The City also anticipates hiring, mid-year, additional career firefighters based on the Fire Study mentioned below. The City prepares the budget for wages by looking at trends within the private sector labor market and our local government peer group. Based on the compensation trends we are seeing, we are proposing a 3% wage increase in 2025. This proposal is in line with our peer cities and the private sector. We must continue to provide similar increases as the private sector and our public sector peer cities to remain competitive. Wages – Part time Wages part-time are decreasing $146,936 or 4.7% in 2025. For 2025, the election budget was decreased as it is a non-election year. Duty Crew Duty Crew wages for 2025 are $1,190,990 which is $34,689 or 3% more than 2024. Duty Crew firefighters continue to provide excellent service to our City. However, there continues to be a gap in hours that our Duty Crew firefighters are able to cover in order to maintain high quality services. All Duty Crew firefighters have other full-time or part-time jobs and their time availability has changed in recent years. In 2024 a Standard of Cover Study was conducted. The study provided an evaluation of the fire department service delivery and also provided recommendations on what is needed to maintain high quality service delivery today and in future years. The study also evaluated current service delivery, fire station locations, changing city demographics, all-hazard response needs, and changing city operations/services. A portion of the one-time public safety funding will be used to pay for the Study. Fire Relief Pension Plan Firefighters of the City of Eden Prairie are members of the Eden Prairie Firefighter Relief Association. The Association is the administrator of the single-employer defined benefit pension plan available to firefighters. The plan is administered pursuant to Minnesota
13
Statutes Chapter 69, Chapter 424A, and the Association’s by-laws. As of December 31, 2023, membership includes 92 active participants, 102 retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits, and 19 terminated employees entitled to benefit but not yet receiving them.
Minnesota Statues specifies minimum support rates required on an annual basis by the City. The Association completes an actuarial study every two years which documents the required contribution from the City. An updated actuarial was completed for 2024 and 2025 which resulted in a required contribution (City and State) of $444,776. It is estimated that the City will receive $624,331 of Fire Relief Pension Aid from the State, which offsets the required contribution. PERA The City pays public employees retirement (PERA) benefits for all eligible employees. Generally all full time employees and part-time employees, who earn more than $5,100 ($3,800 for 9/10 month school year) annually, are PERA eligible. The City currently contributes 7.50% of salary for PERA except for the police and fire employees where the percent is 17.7% for 2025. The City also pays 7.65% of salary for FICA except for police and fire where the percentage is 1.45%. The City has budgeted $4,441,133 for PERA/FICA in 2025. Health Insurance The City periodically conducts a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to procure health insurance. State law requires that the City issue a RFP every five years. In 2022, the City Council approved a three-year health insurance contract with HealthPartners for 2023 to 2025. For 2024 and 2025 the rate cap was set at 9%. For 2025, health insurance is budgeted to increase $217,753 or 7.7%. This amount is less than the 9% cap due to employees choosing different plan options. Workers Compensation The workers compensation user charge is changing from $1,512,771 in 2024 to $1,667,791 in 2025. For the last four years the premium has increased on average 17%. For the 2025-2026 year, rates are finally starting to come back down. Our current experince modifiation is .89 and has ranged from .55 to 1.06 since 2014. When the EMR is lower, our workers compensation costs are less due to positive claims experience. The average EMR, or the point at which the City is said to be no more or no less risky than another, is 1.0. If our EMR dips below 1.0, we are considered safer than most, which translates to lower premiums. Facilities User Charges The Facilities Division is responsible for building related operations, preventative maintenance, remodeling, and long-term maintenance programs of the facilities owned by the City. The buildings include the City Center, Community Center, Outdoor Center, Art

Facility user charges are increasing from $6,174,909 in 2024 to $6,388,783, which is an increase of $213,874, or 3.5%. The increase is due mainly to wages and benefits.
