Jay Lotthammer, Director, Miller Park Barrier Free Play Area Donation
Parks and Recreation
Motion
Move to: Accept the donation from the Tom and Kathy Miller Family Foundation in the
amount of$1,200 to assist with funding for future development of the Miller Park
Barrier Free Play Area.
Synopsis
Mike Garvin, along with family and friends, has continued to recruit funds to be used towards
future phases for the Miller Park Barrier Free Play Area. Over$200,000 has been previously
contributed. An additional $1,200 has been raised towards future phases of the project.
Background
Eden Prairie resident Mike Garvin approached staff with a pledge to assist with the funding for a
Barrier Free Play Area at Miller Park. Mr. Garvin's family has made use of similar play areas
while visiting other states. Mr. Garvin and his wife recognized the benefits and positive impacts
that a barrier free play area can have for people with all types of abilities. Miller Park is one of
three community parks and receives a higher amount of use than neighborhood parks and smaller
play structures. Over the past several years, staff has maintained the equipment by replacing
parts that were damaged, broke or in an unsafe condition. Many of the replacement parts are no
longer available due to the age of the equipment. Funds were budgeted and approved as a part of
the Capital Improvement Plan for replacement of portions of the play area. Mr. Garvin and his
family have committed funds to add to the amount of work that is able to be performed and
enhance the accessibility of the play area. Increased accessibility will certainly be beneficial for
children who use wheelchairs, but past experience has shown that accessible surfaces and play
components also offer greater access and enjoyment to all users.

I. FUND BALANCE UPDATE
Finance Manager Sue Kotchevar reviewed balances in the City's various funds and
answered the Council Members' questions about the fund balances.
II. PARK BOUNDARY INSPECTION UPDATE
Parks and Natural Resources Manager Stu Fox gave a PowerPoint update on the park
boundary inspection program. In 2005, the City Council approved hiring seasonal staff to
inspect all park boundaries. In 2006, the City sent a boundary initiative letter to 2,100
residents who live adjacent to park property. Fox said the inspection process includes
written communication with property owners detailing the City's activities. If a boundary
violation is identified, a letter is sent to the property owner with a date by which corrective
action must be taken. If corrective action is not taken, the issue is forwarded to the Police
Department. At this time, another letter is sent to the property owner informing them of the
corrective actions they must make. If the violation remains unresolved, the issue is referred
to the City Attorney for formal legal action.
Fox said that to date 13 parkland areas, totaling 795 acres, have been inspected.
Approximately 859 private/public interfaces have been inspected. Fifteen percent of those
inspections (about 125)resulted in trespass letters. After notification, 104 residents
completed the corrective action requested by the City. Twenty-one cases have been
forwarded to the Police for further action. One case has been forwarded to the City
Attorney.
City Council Workshop Minutes
February 15, 2011
Page 2
Fox said City staff received an inquiry from a Council Member about the possibility of
developing a process for residents to seek variances or to apply for a permit to continue
using City/park property they have been found to be encroaching on. The issue was
discussed at length by the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission(PRNRC).
The PRNRC unanimously passed a motion, "To continue the process of park boundary
inspections and enforce the property line as the no encroachment/trespass line out of concern
for but not limited to consistency, cost effectiveness, precedent, time intensity and concerns
for lack of objectivity."
Council Member Nelson said she has gotten two types of calls regarding the boundary
inspection program. One complaint is that the boundary markers are ugly and, therefore,
devalue the property. Nelson said she would like to have a process by which property
owners can request the signs be removed. Nelson also asked if property owners are forced
to stop mowing City land, who will be responsible for maintaining these areas? Parks and
Recreation Director Jay Lotthammer said these areas will be allowed to go back to their
natural state.

Tyra-Lukens thanked Cub Scout Pack 348 from Cedar Ridge Elementary School for

III. COUNCIL FORUM INVITATION
IV. PROCLAMATIONS/PRESENTATIONS
A. 494 CORRIDOR COMMISSION UPDATE
Aho said he has served for six years on the I-494 Corridor Commission and is
currently serving as Chair of that group. The commission was begun in 1986 to
help with transportation projects in the southwest metro area. He noted their focus
for the last several years has been on the 494/169 interchange project, and a lot of
people worked very hard to more that forward to the point where it is now under
construction. In 2002 they started another focus in commuter services as they
recognized the need to have other ways to reduce traffic in the area. Work on the
494/35W interchange project is one of their priorities for this year as is the
Southwest Corridor light rail transit line.
Aho introduced Melissa Madison, Executive Director of the I-494 Corridor
Commission. Ms Madison distributed copies of their annual report and work plan
for 2011. She reviewed some of the accomplishments of the commission and
highlights of their work in 2010.
Kate Meredith, Director of Outreach for the I-494 Corridor Commission, reviewed
the companies they have worked with in Eden Prairie and the commuter programs
started by those companies.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
February 15,2011
Page 2
Tyra-Lukens noted these are very impressive numbers and asked if this is a typical
trend. Ms Madison said it was, although they have taken a dip in numbers over the
last couple of years after gas went down below $4.00 a gallon. Tyra-Lukens asked
why the number of new teleworkers is lower than expected. Ms Madison said that
number reflects a pilot program, "eworkplace,"that was started in 2010 and for
which they receive money from the state. Aho said Super Valu is looking at a large
teleworker program for their employees, and we expect quite an increase in those
numbers. He noted staff has done a phenomenal job in meeting and surpassing the
commission's goals.

RELATING TO MINIMUM WIDTH OF LOTS AT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE
Lotthammer said official notice of this public hearing was published in the
February 3 2011,Eden Prairie News. Charts 11A— 1 1 E are the development
criteria for each zoning district covering, density, lot size, lot dimensions, floor
area, and height, etc. The new category is "Minimum Lot Width at Right of Way
Line."Historically, the staff has used the category"Minimum Lot Width" as the lot
width at the right of way line. However, the definition of minimum lot width
explains only how it is measured which is "its own mean width measured at right
angles to its mean depth." It is not clear that it applies at the right of way line. The

1. City Manager Contract
Tyra-Lukens said at its February 3, 2011, special meeting, the Eden Prairie
City Council unanimously voted to approve Rick Getschow as their choice
for City Manager. Subsequent to that meeting, she and Council Member
Aho met with the City Attorney, the Human Resources Manager, and the
recruiter to develop the terms of a contract. She and Council Member Aho
presented the contract to Mr. Getschow, and he has accepted the terms as
presented. The contract, which has been signed by Mr. Getschow, is on a
goldenrod sheet for the Council's review and approval.
Case asked how the total package compares to other city managers now we
don't have the incentive merit pay piece in the package. Tyra-Lukens said
the total package is about $148,000. They looked at salaries of city
managers in cities similar in size to Eden Prairie. Mr. Getschow was happy
with the figure. Aho said there is no car allowance, but the City Manager
will be reimbursed for mileage if he uses his own car for work. It is a very
fair salary commensurate with Mr. Getschow's experience. It gives us room
to increase his salary and puts us in a good position as a city.

The Annual Report addresses activities of the Commission in 2010 which focused on education
and information about Flying Cloud Airport to various constituent groups, to increase visibility
of and communications from the Commission, and to continue to monitor the Final
Agreement. The Commission proposes similar goals for 2011, which include working to
reduce nighttime noise and work with the City and MAC to improve the appearance of the
airport.
Background Information
The Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission will be meeting with the City Council at the
March 1, 2011 City Council Workshop to present its 2010 Report and 2011 Goals and Work
Plan.
Some of the Commission's 2010 activities and areas of review included the following:
• Work to withdraw a Met Council proposal to change Minor Airports into Minor I and Minor
II classifications. This action could have resulted in longer runway potential at some of the
Minor airports, including Flying Cloud.
• Focus on reducing nighttime noise.
• 2010 Update to the Flying Cloud Airport Security Guide.
• MAC landscaping and aesthetic improvements on south side of airport.
• Improvements to MAC's Multilateration Project to improve the quality of flight track data,

Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission
2010 Report and 2011 Goals and Work Plan
Charter
The Commission was chartered in 2006 by the City Council to "advise the City Council and the
Metropolitan Airports Commission with regard to matters affecting the operation of Flying Cloud
Airport."
The City Council charged the Commission with the following roles and responsibilities:
A. Advise the Council and the Metropolitan Airports Commission with regard to matters
affecting the operation of the Flying Cloud Airport, including: the classification of the
airport under federal and state law; rules and regulations of federal and state agencies
governing the operation of the Airport; the ongoing monitoring and implementation of the
Final Agreement Concerning Flying Cloud Airport and MAC Ordinance 51 between the
City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota and Metropolitan Airports Commission, dated December
2002 (Final Agreement); other noise abatement methods to reduce the impact of aircraft
noise on the community; and such other matters as the City Council may direct from time
to time.
B. Cooperate with the Metropolitan Airports Commission Staff in reviewing for the benefit of
the Council matters affecting the use and control of the Flying Cloud Airport, including the
Final Agreement, and shall make its recommendations to the Council and the
Metropolitan Airports Commission upon request with regard to any proposal affecting the
use or operation of Flying Cloud Airport.
2010 Accomplishments
The Commission's approved goals for 2010 were:
1. Continue our focus on providing education and information about Flying Cloud Airport to
various public and private constituent groups, as well as to individual Eden Prairie residents.
2. Continue to increase visibility of, and communications from the Commission.
3. Continue to monitor the Final Agreement.
4. Work with the City of Eden Prairie and MAC to reduce nighttime noise.
5. Work with the City of Eden Prairie and MAC to improve the appearance of the airport.
Commentary
The Commission was very active in 2010. It held its normal six meetings, as well as an extended
meeting in July. As requested by the City Council, the Commission conducted its biennial security
review of the airport. In addition, the Commission toured the airport and the grounds to review the
completed construction of Runway 10R, met some of its business leaders, and toured the tower
operation. During its November meeting, the Commission met in Farmington at the location of the
FAA's "Minneapolis Center" facility, where en-route air traffic is controlled.
The Commissioners take time to fully understand the range of issues facing the Airport from various
angles. The Commission strongly believes in its mission. It is working to educate itself, on behalf of
the City Council, to maximize its value to the City Council, Eden Prairie residents, and MAC.

new south hangar area (right hand side of photo). The hangars are expected to be built on the
grass areas, on the right. The smaller paved areas dissecting the grassy areas are alleyways
and taxiways.
Education and Information
Several Commission members attended a "Flying Cloud Airport Pilots and Tenants" meeting in
September. The event was sponsored by the FAA, with participation by MAC and the Flying Cloud
Tower. It was an excellent opportunity to hear of the concerns and interests of the pilots and tenants
who operate out of FCM. Discussion topics included FCM runway incursions, "Line Up and Wait",
winter operations and airport information from MAC. Particular emphasis was made concerning
runway incursions, with the audience being asked for ideas on how to help eliminate them. A number
of handouts about incursions were available. Copies were obtained and distributed at the
Commission's November 4th meeting.

Improve Appearance of Airport
Significant new hangar construction has begun on the north side of the field. Old, rusty and
deteriorated row hangars are beginning to be replaced with modern individual hangar facilities,
served with sanitary sewer, water, and natural gas heating. This construction is expected to continue.
In addition, some of the oldest hangars on the east side of the field have been eliminated; and a new
south side hangar area has been graded and paved. Sewer and water services for the south hangar
area are anticipated in 2012.

Fortunately, many of the older hangars are being replaced with new, attractive hangars like
these, consistent with the City codes.
Airport Security
The Commission was asked to update its airfield security report from 2008, during its 2010 work
plan, to assess security at the airport, and suggest any necessary improvements. Participants
included Eden Prairie Police and Fire Departments, Transportation Security Administration (TSA),
and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) airport support network.
Physical security at the airport continues to move in the right direction with high security locks at all
gates requiring security codes for access. Also, separation of airside and landside operations will
minimize the potential for incursions with airport operations.
The Commission, working with the airport community, continues to keep the lines of communication
open with the airport businesses. Airport users can be an effective "neighborhood watch" and is the
best plan for an airport the size of Flying Cloud.
The Fire Department conducted twenty-nine inspections during the time period, including hazardous
materials' inspections at the Fixed Base Operators (FBO's) during the Air Expo, and checked the new
locking gates.
The extensions of sanitary sewer and water main have allowed the installation of sanitary facilities
and fire suppression systems to the hangars.
The TSA said Flying Cloud is a model airport, regarding its added cooperation with the City's Fire and
Police Departments. There are very few general aviation airports that have the level of security as
Flying Cloud. The TSA added that Flying Cloud is far ahead in its security initiatives.
AOPA said airport users are the key in airport security; and they are able to notify local law
enforcement.

Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission
2010 Report and 2011 Goals and Work Plan
MAC has updated its 2010 Flying Cloud Airport Security Guide. This guide has been distributed to
all FBO's and the Flying Cloud control tower.
Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission Findings
• Based on the experts involved, Flying Cloud Airport is considered secure and a model for
others to follow.
• The experts all agree the Flying Cloud Airport has exceeded the security requirements for a
typical airport of its size and type. At this time, no further security suggestions or improvements
have been identified by the experts,
• MAC has a great working relationship with the City's Fire and Police Departments.
• MAC, working with AOPA airport support network, continues to strengthen the "Community
Watch"with airport businesses and tenants.
Metropolitan Council's 2030 Aviation System Plan
A Metropolitan Council proposal to change the Minor airport category into Minor I and Minor II
categories came to an end in February. This change could have resulted in longer runways at some
of the region's airports, including Flying Cloud. The Met Council ultimately approved its 2030 Aviation
System Plan without the proposed category changes. This was the result of strong opposition from
the City Council and Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission, as well as other airport communities
in the north metro area.
MAC's Long-Term Comprehensive Plan
An update to the Long-Term Comprehensive Plan (LTCP) for the airport was prepared by MAC to
address future needs of the airport over the next 20-year period. Periodic updates are required by the
Metropolitan Council.
The LTCP addresses the following areas:
• Existing conditions/inventory
• Aviation forecasts
• Airside and Landside Facilities Requirements
• Alternatives and Plan Recommendations
• Environmental Considerations
• Land Use Compatibility
• Capital Improvement Program Costs
• Facility Implementation Schedule
• Public Information Process
The Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission reviews LTCP developments as they occur.
The crosswind runway 18-36 is currently 2,691 feet long but does not meet the recommended
standard according to the FAA. Various alternatives were evaluated for this runway. The LTCP
Preferred Alternative is to shift and extend the runway to meet a fully compliant runway safety area,
object free area, and a runway 2,800 feet long. This runway would accommodate 75% of the fleet of
aircraft weighing less than 12,500 pounds. Construction of a north perimeter road is also
recommended.

Residential Sound Level Testing Program
The Eden Prairie Residential Sound Level Testing Program was initiated on April 5, 2010, and
concluded on July 19, 2010, to fulfill the provisions outlined in the Final Agreement.
The Final Agreement requires:
• Completion of the sound level testing within two years from the date the extended runways are
made available.
March 2011
Page 6
Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission
2010 Report and 2011 Goals and Work Plan
• In the event that any residence tested has an exterior to interior noise attenuation of less than 20
dBA (decibels-A weighted) MAC shall provide sound insulation to achieve a noise reduction of at
least 20 dBA.
• MAC will provide testing and sound insulation pursuant to Paragraph 3.7 regardless of whether
funding is provided by the federal government, and
• No new residence for which final building permits were issued on or after December 4, 2001,
shall be eligible to receive testing or sound insulation pursuant to Paragraph 3.7.
The specific purpose of the program was to determine if the existing exterior-to-interior Noise Level
Reduction (NLR) of the representative sample homes, meet the NLR within the 60 DNL noise
contour.
The City selected a sample of 35 homes in the 60 DNL(Day-Night Level) noise contour area, which
were representative of the entire housing stock in the 60 DNL Noise Contour Area. The goal of the
analysis was to establish NLR values for the respective housing demographic. In the event the NLR
was determined to be less than 20 decibels, the MAC would provide sound insulation treatments to
achieve the NLR of 20 decibels. Of the 51 homeowners asked to participate in the program, 27 were
interested. Six of those initial homes were removed from the program because the MAC and the City
determined that the homes did not meet the site and/or home conditions criteria; or because the
homeowner indicated they were no longer interested in participating.
Two orientation meetings were held at city hall with interested home owners. A demonstration of the
"pink noise" used in the testing was presented by MAC. The whole testing process was explained
and questions from home owners were answered.
MAC presented its conclusions about the Residential Sound Level Testing Program to the
Commission at its November 4, 2010 meeting. Individual results from each home were presented to
the Commission. The 21 homes tested in the program exceeded the 20 decibel NLR goal. The
NLR's ranged between 33.7decibels and 25.0 decibels.
MAC's conclusion was that: "The MAC has fulfilled its requirements related to this stipulation and no
home mitigation is required." The Commission accepted the Residential Sound Level Noise Report.

Communications
Commissioner Greg McKewan continued to work with the City Communications Department to make
the City's Airport web site more effective as a tool to improve resident access to key data about the
Flying Cloud airfield. Many pages and data were added, as was a full video of the Public meeting
held in May. The impact has been great, as more information is available to residents. The most
popular items viewed by residents are the flight tracks and the Commission's meeting schedule.
Please visit the site at Flying Cloud Airport.
The Commission welcomed a new student member, Neeraj Ajgaonkar. We thank our outgoing
student members, Sam Clark and Tanay Mehta, and wish them well at school.
The 2010 MAC FCM Operator of the Year Award was presented to Christopher Cooper, of
Hummingbird Helicopters, at the Commission's January 2011 meeting by the FCAAC Chair.
Hummingbird's selection is based on its commitment to noise abatement techniques, and voluntary
flight restrictions. They are particularly sensitive to noise complaints received from surrounding
communities. In turn, pilot training is conducted away from these areas, which help build stronger
and more compatible relationships between FCM aviators and the surrounding communities.

Flying Cloud Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB)
The City Council approved the City's participation in the Flying Cloud Joint Airport Zoning Board
(JAZB) in 2009. The JAZB is made up of two appointments, each from the cities of Eden Prairie,
Bloomington, Shakopee and Chanhassen, two from the MAC, and a chair named by the appointed
members. The City named Council Members Aho and Duckstad. FCAAC Chair King was named
Chair of the JAZB. The JAZB is created under Minnesota Statutes. It serves to review and limit

"airport hazards"that endanger lives, property and airport utility, with consideration given to avoiding
the disruption of existing land uses, based on social and financial costs. The JAZB meets each
month. The Commission obtains regular briefings about JAZB meetings.
Seven JAZB meetings and one public hearing have occurred between July 16, 2009 and December
21, 2010. On December 21, 2010, the JAZB recommended "Approval of Draft Materials for First
Submission of the Draft FCM Zoning Ordinance to the Commissioner of Transportation for Review".
Once approved by the Commissioner, the Ordinance will take effect, and will be implemented through
a Zoning Administrator.

Non-Aeronautical Development at the Airport
The City Council and Metropolitan Airports Commission entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) for the development of non-aeronautical property at the airport. The MOU
establishes the framework which will be used to proceed with non-aeronautical development at the
airport, as market conditions dictate.
The MOU provides for non-aeronautical uses for eight specific parcels of land owned by the MAC,
including: retail stores, service establishments, restaurant, business and professional offices,
gasoline/convenience stores. The City will retain its authority to review and approve development
projects through the public hearing process and will incorporate into a change to the city's zoning
ordinance. All development will be subject to the performance standards of the City's zoning code
Helicopter Operations at Flying Cloud - Letter of Agreement
In September, the FCM Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Metropolitan Airports Commission
agreed to establish a primary helicopter hover practice area and helicopter flight patterns during
hours the control tower is in operation. The ATCT will authorize helicopter operations in the
Helicopter Practice Area based on traffic, complexity and weather; and will consider fixed wing traffic,
runway use, wind, and preferred routes. The agreement establishes helicopter flight patterns and
hover practice areas overlying the airport to minimize noise.
Monitoring the Final Agreement - Reduce Nighttime Noise
There has been an increase in noise reporting during the voluntary restriction period (10pm —7am).
The Commission believes its educational efforts have resulted in greater public awareness of the
noise reporting procedures. The people are using the procedures of the phone, and the convenience
March 2011

Flying Cloud Airport Advisory Commission
2010 Report and 2011 Goals and Work Plan
of the internet, which make it easy to log a report. The Commission plans to continue its efforts in
2011 to reduce nighttime noise.
Since the inception of Ordinance 97, we have seen a decrease in the number of complaints in regard
to nighttime maintenance run-ups. This is partly because of our continuing public education, and the
decrease in traffic.
All noise complaints, sent by residents to MAC via telephone or the internet, are recorded and
researched thoroughly. MAC reacted appropriately to the complaints. The Commission reviews
MAC's Noise Complaint Report at each meeting.
MAC agreed, at its own cost, to add Flying Cloud Airport to its Multilateration Project. This will
improve the quality of flight track data; ensure better data integrity, availability, and reliability; and
create timely, accurate reporting. The project was to be done only at MSP. Through the good
relationship between the Commission and MAC, the latter agreed to extend it to FCM. The project is
part of the ANOMS (Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System). It is currently being used in
MAC's FlightTracker monitoring system and continues to be fine tuned.
Examples of additional information generated by the new monitoring system are included in the Noise
Complaint Reports presented to the Commission at its November 4m meeting. There is now data that
usually identifies the type of aircraft that correspond to noise complaints. Correlation codes are also
included that can be used by the Commission to see if a specific flight correlates with one or more of
the complaints that have been made.
The new system is always in operation. For this reason flights that take place when the tower is not
in operation will now be counted, and a more accurate tally of the actual number of operations that
take place at FCM can be obtained.
A significant part of the Final Agreement was the execution of the leases for the ball fields between
MAC and the City. These agreements were completed in 2010. In addition, discussion is underway
for a development agreement between the two parties, regarding the MAC-owned non-aeronautical
land.
MAC completed testing a representative sample of homes located east of the Flying Cloud Airport, as
part of the Final Agreement. It is in accordance with a methodology agreed upon by MAC and Eden
Prairie in the Final Agreement which determined the existing exterior to interior noise reduction level.
(See Eden Prairie Residential Sound Level Testing Program).
The Commission reviewed MAC's environmental compliance at the airport. MAC does not own or
maintain any wells on the airport property; so there is no environmental monitoring of wells on the
airport property.
As a result of extending sanitary sewer and water lines along the north boundary of the airport in
2009, a significant number of new hangars replaced the old in 2010. This better serves the tenants
needs and businesses along Pioneer Trail. As part of the new infrastructure, airport businesses and
hangar tenants that have wells and septic systems are required to properly abandon them within two
years. Many of the owners are electing to connect immediately to the new sanitary sewer and water
lines, as part of new hangar construction. The new south building area will be served with sewer and
water in 2012.
MAC's Spill Prevention, Control and Counter-measure (SPCC) Plan, in place since 1991, is
Professional Engineer compliant. The Plan was updated in 2009. Although the MAC does not meet
March 2011
Page 11

the regulatory threshold that requires a SPCC plan, MAC determined it was appropriate and prudent
to have one in place.

Goals for 2011
The Commission proposes similar 2010 goals for 2011. The Commission also proposes a focus on a
few new goals, since the airport expansion has been completed. We will continue our focus on
providing education and information about Flying Cloud Airport to various constituent groups and
individuals, as well as continue to increase visibility of, and communications from, the Commission.
While continuing to monitor the Final Agreement, we plan to work to reduce nighttime noise and
improve the appearance of the airport.
Staff Support
The Commission received excellent cooperation and support from the City Staff, and especially its
liaison, Scott Kipp. His exceptional knowledge and advice has greatly benefited the Commission.
The Commission would also like to thank Carol Pelzel, our recorder, for her tireless work on its
behalf. Her consistent accuracy and attention to detail has been recognized and appreciated.
Thanks are also extended to the MAC and its regularly attending staff(Jeff Nawrocki, Dana Swanson,
Jennifer Lewis, Chad Leqve, Bridget Rief), all of whom have been extremely supportive of us, as we
conducted our business.
Overall, MAC's responsiveness to our requests for flight maps and special graphics has added
immeasurably to the understanding of flight operations by the Commission and the public. MAC has
also enhanced the Commission's ability to fulfill its mission for the City Council.

Synopsis:
The City is applying for a $250,000 grant through the Minnesota Department of Employment and
Economic Development (DEED) to help pay for a portion of the planned road improvements at the Valley
View Road/Prairie Center Drive intersection. DEED requires a resolution be included with the application
to insure that if a grant is awarded the City is committed to its local match requirement, which is at least
50% of the total funding required to complete the project. The preliminary cost estimate for the project is
$825,000 which includes all estimated project costs. The final funding will likely be from a mix of sources
including a DEED grant, MSA, pooled TIF Funds, and possibly the City's Economic Development Fund.
The DEED application will be submitted in early March 2011.
Background Information
In December the Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with WSB & Associates to provide
design services for the Valley View Road / Prairie Center Drive Intersection Improvements. The project is
tentatively scheduled for construction this summer.The planned improvements will provide additional vehicle
capacity by providing a second left-turn lane on the east(Valley View Road)approach to the intersection and a
second westbound lane on Valley View Road as far back from the intersection as possible without constructing
any significant retaining walls.
The proposed improvement will help relieve the congestion that is regularly encountered at this intersection
during the evening rush hour. Several high profile businesses in the area including Compellent,VISI,and BOSE
have all expressed support for this project and have submitted related letters that will be included in the DEED
application.

Rick Wahlen Award Contract for Lift Station
Public Works/UtilitiesSupervisory Control and Data
Acquisition(SCADA)project to Forest
Lake Contracting, Inc.
Requested Action
Move to: Award contract for the Lift Station Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
project to Forest Lake Contracting, Inc. in the amount of$164,200.
Synopsis
The City of Eden Prairie Utilities Division open sealed bids on Thursday, February 10, 2011,
from six contractors who competed for the city's lift station controls upgrade project. Forest
Lake Contracting, Inc.,provided the lowest bid, at$15,400 less than the next highest competitor.
The spread of bid values was $17,155 or approximately 10% of the contract.
Background Information
The lift station SCADA project will provide computer controls at the city's 21 sanitary sewer lift
stations, allowing staff to directly monitor and control the lift stations from the city computer
network. The system is designed to allow the on-call operator to access an alarming lift station
through his take-home computer using a virtual private network(VPN) connection, and perform
trouble-shooting steps without having to physically visit the site. This will minimize overtime
hours and eliminate needless off-duty and on-duty trips that will save staff time and allow our
personnel to dedicate their work to more important customer service tasks. Maintaining our
utility field system with fewer man-hours has allowed the division to sustain a flat staffing level

Development Director Housing Services Agreement with West

Community Services (WHAHLT)
Requested Action
Move to: Approve the Reinstatement and Extension of the Housing Services Agreement with
WHAHLT.
Background
In 2007, the City of Eden Prairie entered into an agreement with WHAHLT called the Housing
Services Agreement. This agreement is part of a program called the Master Line of Credit which
stipulates how the federal funds used for WHAHLT's affordable housing programs will be used.
The agreement expired on December 31, 2009.
The need to extend the Housing Services Agreement comes about because WHAHLT has
requested access to the Line of Credit to protect the affordability of one of its units that has gone
into foreclosure. WHAHLT will purchase the home from the lender, resell it to an income
eligible buyer and then repay the City.

2011 Eden Praire-Action Plan
CDBG Program Specific Requirements
The 2011 allocation is $250,000. It is anticipated that the Housing Rehabilitation
Program and the CDBG Loan Program for Affordable Rental Units will generate
program income during 2011. Any program income received will be used to cover
expenses generated in an existing CDBG Program or activity and not just expenses
related to the activity generating the income, as authorized by the City Council. The City
of Eden Prairie anticipates receiving $90,000.00 in program income in 2011. The City of
Eden Prairie anticipates that there will be $340,000 available in total funds for the 2011
fiscal year. This funding is broken down as follows:
2011 CDBG Allocation $250,000
Program Income from repayment of deferred loans $90,000
Total $340,000
Activities Planned with CDBG Funds: The following is a listing of CDBG activities
recommended for funding by the Eden Prairie Human Services Review Committee and
approved by the Eden Prairie City Council for the 2011 program year. Details on the
proposed activities follow in order of the specific objective/strategy number identified in
the Consolidated Plan. The regulations stipulate that public service funding may not
exceed 15 percent of the City's total allocation ($250,000), plus 15 percent of the
previous year's program income ($112,000). For the 2011 program year, Eden Prairie
cannot fund public service activities in excess of $54,300. Funding for public service
activities totals $53,000, which includes 15 percent of the 2011 allocation ($37,500) plus
15 percent of 2010 program income ($16,800).

2011 Eden Praire-Action Plan
Activities to be Undertaken
The activities to be undertaken during the 2011 fiscal year address the priority needs
and local objectives as set forth in the Consolidated Plan. The activities that are part of
the 2011 Action Plan are to be completed within 12 months from the time funds are
allocated to the City of Eden Prairie.
Strategy 2.0 Existing Homeowners
Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Program: During the 2011 grant year, we
expect to rehabilitate six owner-occupied homes through our Housing Rehabilitation
Loan Program. The program provides up to $30,000.00 for eligible repairs through a
deferred zero interest loan, payable after 30 years, or when the property is sold.
Applications are accepted year round on a"first come, first served"basis. Applicants
qualify based on their household income and the amount of equity in their home. The
City is currently researching the terms of its rehab loan program and may change the
terms to reflect the changing economy.
The City will continue to offer a Small Emergency Repair Grant fund to be
administered through our Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program. The Small Repair
Grant fund will access funds through the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program to be
used for emergency repairs for qualifying homeowners. The program allows a
maximum of $5,000 per home in grant funds to be used for emergency and small
repairs.
Both rehabilitation programs are open for residents throughout the City that meet the
income guidelines. No specific geographic area is targeted for this program.
The City will continue to identify larger rehab projects outside of the Single Family
Rehab Program that house low/mod income Eden Prairie residents. It is anticipated
that this will be a grant program.
Strategy 3.0 Affordable Housing
Eden Prairie First Time Homebuyer: 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 principle 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. Funds will be used to assist three low mod income
households to purchase their first home. Financial assistance will be provided up to
$25,000. Prior years' affordable housing funds are available if needed for the program.
4
2011 Eden Prairie-Action Plan Draft
This program is open for households that meet the income guidelines,purchasing a
home in Eden Prairie.
Strategy 6.0 Family Services/Facilities
PROP: The City has been allocating CDBG assistance to People Reaching Out to
People (PROP) for emergency housing assistance activities since 2003. PROP will
provide emergency assistance in the form of rent or mortgage payments to households
at risk of becoming homeless. This assistance will be provided for up to three months.
PROP has provided considerable assistance to low income households in Eden Prairie
since 1974. PROP serves nearly 400 families per year with food, shelter and medical
assistance. During 2011, it is estimated that 100 households will be assisted with
CDBG funds.
YMCA: The allocation of CDBG funds for childcare assistance has been ongoing for
many years. The CDBG allocation will be used by the YMCA to subsidize before and
after school childcare for Eden Prairie families who need financial help. The YMCA
expects to serve approximately 30 households in 2011.
HOME Line: HOME Line provides renters with the tools necessary to keep their
homes safe and affordable. HOME Line's services are available to all renters free of
charge. Their programs are aimed at low income renters, high school students who are
about to enter the rental market, and recent immigrants. HOME Line expects to serve
approximately 200 households in 2011.
CAPSH: The Car Repair Program is administered by Community Action Partnership
of Suburban Hennepin. It was created in 2006 to help low/mod income Eden Prairie
residents maintain self sufficiency. The car repair program will pay 75% of repairs up
to $750. CAPSH expects to serve 6 households during 2011.
All of the Family Services listed above are open to all low/mod income residents of
Eden Prairie.
Strategy 7.0 Senior Services
H.O.M.E. Household and Outside Maintenance for Elderly: This service helps
maintain independence for elders and avoid premature nursing home placement by
providing homemaker, maintenance and chore services. H.O.M.E. expects to serve
approximately 40 residents in 2011.
The H.O.M.E. program is offered by Senior Community Services and is open to all
low/mod senior residents of Eden Prairie.
5
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
Strategy 11.0 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
The City of Eden Prairie will participate in and help to fund fair housing activities
through the Fair Housing Implementation Council, which provides support for fair
housing activities. Activities include education, training, outreach, and referral in
Hennepin County.
Meeting Underserved Needs
The City is in contact on a regular basis with a number of nonprofit agencies which
coordinate and provide assistance for those who have underserved needs. During
2011, the city will continue to be in contact with these agencies to learn about the
underserved need in the community and how the City can help meet these needs.
An obstacle to meeting underserved needs the City has encountered has been a recent
lack of eligible clients in its Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program. Due to the
declining housing market in the area, many homeowners do not have enough equity in
their homes to qualify for a loan. Their property values have decreased to the point
where many owe more on their property than the property is worth.
Geographic Distribution
The activities selected by the City of Eden Prairie are primarily offered on a city wide
basis to ensure equal opportunity to all interested, income qualified participants. These
city wide activites include PROP, YMCA, Homeline, HOME, CAPSH, and the
housing rehabilitation loan program.

Citizen Participation Plan
The City of Eden Prairie is part of the Hennepin County Consortium, and therefore the
City's Action Plan is part of the Hennepin County Consortium Action Plan. The City
follows Hennepin County's Citizen Participation Plan, which calls for the Hennepin
6
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
County Consortium Action Plan to be available for public comment 30 days prior to a
public hearing before the Hennepin County Board. The Eden Prairie City Council held
their own public hearing on March 1, 2011 and allowed the public to comment on the
proposed activities. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Eden Prairie
News two weeks prior to the meeting. No public comments were received prior to,
during or after the public hearing. The City's Human Services Review Committee
responds to questions and inquiries about the plan, and makes recommendations to the
City Council based on feedback.
Consultation Process
The City of Eden Prairie has a Development Review Committee comprised on staff
from Housing and Human Services, Community Development and Planning,
Engineering, Fire and Inspections. This committee meets monthly to review proposals
for new development and projects. This group works directly with developers, non-
profit agencies and other governmental agencies and transit authorities to ensure that
all perspectives are considered throughout the review process.
The City of Eden Prairie has developed many relationships with private and other
public agencies from which it gathers input on its activities set out in the Action Plan
and also seeks implementation of some of these activities.
The city is in contact with non-profit organizations (both those partially funded with
city CDBG funds and those that are not)to learn about the changes in their cliental.
Many of these organizations have seen an increase in cliental, including those who
have never had to access the service in the past.
Finally, the city also works with various public agencies including other cities,
Hennepin County, and state agencies. This collaboration allows the city to find out
more about what these organizations are seeing in their community and help the city
prepare for these issues which may arise.
Housing and Market Analysis
General
There are a variety of housing options and choices in Eden Prairie, from Section 8
rental housing for low income residents, to "executive estates" with large single family
homes, and many life cycle housing options in between. Of the 24,848 total housing
units, 18,139 or 73 percent are ownership and 6,708 or 27 percent are rental. There are
953 subsidized rental units located throughout Eden Prairie, including three Section 8
Project-Based complexes with 355 units.
Eden Prairie has a large Somali immigrant population, estimated to number
approximately 4,000 people. While most Somali families live in apartment complexes,
7
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
including the Project-Based Section 8 complexes, there is a trend toward Somali
ownership and rentals of single family homes.
Eden Prairie has used a "scattered-site" approach to providing affordable housing
which requires developers who are seeking financial assistance from the City to set
aside 20 percent of their units for low/moderate income people. This approach has
prevented the concentration of low income housing in any one part of the City.
Eden Prairie has a large number of group homes that provide supportive care for
developmentally delayed adults, aftercare treatment for teens with chemical addictions,
and memory care support for elderly people.
A residential treatment facility for people with HIV/AIDS has existed in Eden Prairie
for nearly 20 years. There is no estimate available on the number of abandoned
buildings or their prospect for rehabilitation.
Public Housing
The City of Eden Prairie does not have a Public Housing Authority; however, through
an agreement with the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, we do have 19
scattered-site public housing units which are managed by the Metropolitan Housing
and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). The City of Eden Prairie does not have any
oversight or involvement in the operation of the units and therefore does not have a
plan to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management
and homeownership.
Chronic Homelessness and Other Special Needs Activities
The City of Eden Prairie does not have a chronically homeless population. However,
we recognize that there are residents at risk of becoming homeless. To prevent these
individuals from becoming homeless, the city supports the following CDBG and
general fund programs.
Emergency Housing Funds: PROP (People Reaching Out to Other People) receives
CDBG funds to support their Housing Assistance Program, which helps
families/individuals who are homeless or who are at risk of being homeless due to a
short-term financial crisis. The goal of the program is to end chronic homelessness
while stabilizing families and creating a healthy environment for children. In 2010,
PROP spent over$200,000 to prevent homelessness.
The City of Eden Prairie allocates general funds for social services programs. These
programs support people who are currently homeless, facing homelessness or have
other special needs.
8
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
City funded (non-CDBG funds) programs for homeless and other special needs
activities:
Cornerstone Advocacy Services provides services to victims of domestic violence,
including emergency shelter, transitional housing, legal services and counseling. In
2010, Cornerstone served 621 Eden Prairie residents. The City of Eden Prairie's
contract with Cornerstone for the 2011 budget cycle is $30,000.
Teens Alone, serves at-risk homeless youth, families and runaways with services that
include shelter, counseling and crisis intervention. Teens Alone goal is to reunite
youth with their families. If reunification is not possible, Teens Alone helps provide a
safe, decent living situation. In 2010, Teens Alone served 43 Eden Prairie youth. The
City of Eden Prairie's contract with Teens Alone for the 2011 budget year is $13,500.

Other Activities
Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing
Eden Prairie uses many strategies to remove barriers to affordable housing. CDBG
funds have been appropriated to the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust
(WHAHLT) to acquire properties which are then sold to income eligible families and
individuals. By using the land trust model, these properties remain affordable for 99
years. The City uses TIF Districts to help developers set aside affordable units in
9
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
several rental properties throughout the community. The City uses CDBG funds in the
single family home rehabilitation program to help homeowners keep their properties
viable and structurally sound. Without the home rehabilitation program, some of our
residents, particularly senior citizens, could not afford to make the repairs which are
necessary to stay in their homes. The City works with developers to incorporate
affordable housing in all new proposed developments.
Human Services Review Committee: This committee is comprised of City staff from a
variety of departments, including Housing and Human Services, Zoning Enforcement,
Police, Administration and Parks and Recreation. This group meets monthly to work
on issues related to housing and human services. Each year, this committee reviews
requests for funding from service providers and makes funding recommendations to the
City Council. There are two sources of funding for human services, the City's general
fund ($160,000 in 2011) and CDBG. The recommendations are based on review of
written proposals, site visits and other methods to determine the quality of the service
and the overall value to the community.
Human Rights and Diversity Commission: The Human Rights and Diversity
Commission acts in an advisory capacity to the City on matters of diversity, civil
and human rights and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Commission has
been involved in such important social issues as identifying needs of the immigrant
population and finding solutions to "bullying"in local schools.
Rental Housing Inspection Program: the City has started an annual inspection of single
family rental properties to determine Code compliance and health or safety violations
that need correction. This program ensures that rental properties are well maintained
and that no substandard rental units are licensed in the City.
Apartment Property Managers Group: The City facilitates a group of rental property
and apartment managers that meet quarterly to discuss issues, receive updates and
training on topics related to fire and life safety, crime prevention, inspections, social
services and so forth. These meetings are well attended and have fostered a spirit of
cooperation among and between the property managers and the City services.
FamiLink Resource Center: Through a partnership with the Eden Prairie School
District, the City houses the FamiLink Resource Center, a resource and referral center
for all residents and businesses. FamiLink has been successful in launching many new
initiatives, including an English Language Learner (ELL) class for employees of the
Eden Prairie Center, and stores within the center, and a work readiness program which
pairs people looking for work with volunteer mentors who help with resumes, job
applications and mock interviews.
Transportation Committee: Housing and Human Services staff coordinates a group of
local services providers who meet monthly to address transportation issues within the
City. This partnership has resulted in the "Shopping Bus" which provides weekly
10
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
transportation to seniors and handicapped people living in apartments to selected
shopping destinations.
Monitoring Actions
In order to ensure that the City is meeting its goals and objectives and remaining in
compliance with federal regulations, several items have been incorporated into the
City's CDBG Program.
Subrecipient Agreements
For activities carried out by subrecipients, the City enters into a subrecipient agreement
with the organization. This agreement covers several items, including: a scope of
services, a term for expenditure of the funds, compliance with federal regulations,
record-keeping, and others.
Subrecipient Monitoring
In addition to receiving reports, city staff from the office of Housing and Community
Services also conduct an onsite monitoring visit of each subrecipient. These onsite
monitoring visits consist of review of files for compliance with federal regulations,
general program review with the subrecipient, and follow-up after to ensure any
problems found are being resolved. In addition to on-site monitoring, the City
periodically reviews all of its active files to make certain subrecipients are expending
their funds in a timely manner. As new projects and subrecipients are added the same
staff from Housing and Community Services will conduct the monitoring. The primary
goals of monitoring subrecipients are to:
1) Ensure production and accountability,
2) Ensure compliance with CDBG and other state and federal
requirements and the subrecipient agreement, and
3) Evaluate organizational and project performance
4) Gain a better understanding of the organization
The monitoring consists of review of files for compliance with federal regulations,
general program review with the subrecipient, and follow-up after to ensure any
problems found are being resolved. The city conducts the desk review at least two
weeks prior to the site visit. All reviews, conclusions, and follow up are finalized
within one month of the on-site visit, through written correspondence in order to have
permanent documentation.
The desk review examines information and materials provided to the city by the
subrecipient, as a means to track performance and identify potential problem areas.
Some of the items reviewed during the desk review include: progress reports, copies of
audits, internal control and management letters,program budget, activity summary,
project status, budget, drawdown requests, proof of compliance, verification of clients'
status and income, and others.
11
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
There are four basic steps to the on-site visit: 1) entrance conference, 2) data gathering
and analysis, 3) exit conference, and 4) follow-up. A monitoring form, including
checklists are filled out by city staff while at the on-site visit. This form includes
reporting requirements, performance evaluation, recordkeeping, fair housing and equal
opportunity, financial information, organizational information and other procedural
requirements as outlined in the subreceipient agreement.
The monitoring is done by city staff who administer the CDBG program. Because of
the limited number of subreceipients the city has, as new subreceipients are added or
other subreceipients are deleted, staff adjusts their workloads accordingly. Currently
there is enough staff to take on the monitoring of all subrecipients; however, this will
be reevaluated in the future if staff is not able to keep up its monitoring activities.
In addition to the desk review and on-site monitoring, the City periodically reviews all
of its active files to make certain subrecipients are expending their funds in a timely
manner. If they are not expending their funds in a timely manner, the city provides a
written letter to the subrecipient reminding them of their responsibilities to timely
spend the funds.
During any part of the subreceipient monitoring process, if there is a deficiency found
then it is noted and included as part of the final monitoring report issued. If the
deficiency arises during the program year, and not during the monitoring period,
written notice is given to the subrecipient of the deficiency. In both cases a timeframe
for correcting the deficiency is given (usually 30 days) at which time the city will re-
review the deficiency. If there are continued problems or a serious problem, then
further review is done and recommendations are made for city council action.
All subrecipient monitoring reviews, whether through the formal desk review and on-
site visit or through a periodic review of documents throughout the year, are kept track
of in the subrecipients files.
Timetable for Completing Monitoring
Monitoring of all subrecipients is completed every two years,unless a subrecipient is
underperforming or other concerns arise. This may cause the office of Housing and
Community Services to conduct an earlier monitoring. All public service subrecipients
were monitored in 2011.
January—Begin Desk Review and complete at least 2 weeks prior to scheduled On-
Site Review.
February- Conduct On-Site Reviews.
March—Complete all Follow-Up requirements.
12
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
Monitoring Forms
The city uses the Monitoring Checklist to ensure that all parts of the monitoring
process are followed. The city uses a Subrecipient Monitoring Program On Site
Review form during the monitoring. Both forms are kept in the subrecipients file at the
city.
Monitoring Follow-Up
The city responds to the subrecipient with a follow up letter within 30 days of the on
site monitoring. The subrecipient has 30 days to respond to the city and correct any
findings. If no corrective action is taken by the subrecipient, the city has the right to
terminate the contract as stated in section 9 of the subrecipient agreement.
Management of Monitoring
Oversight of the monitoring is the responsibility of the Manager of Housing and
Community Services. It is the managers duty to report all monitoring procedures and
outcomes to the city manager.
Documentation of Monitoring
The monitoring form is completed and a follow up letter is sent to the subrecipient.
Both of these documents are kept in the subrecipient's file and may be accessed for
review by a third party after completion of the city's data request form.
Timeliness
On a monthly basis, the city monitors it's CDBG allocation to ensure that it is meeting
its timeliness compliance. Each program year, the city develops a spreadsheet so that it
can monitor the funds it expends on a monthly basis making it easy to to see how much
money must be spent in order to remain in compliance.
The City of Eden Prairie requests that all subrecipients invoice the City quarterly. This
will enable the City of Eden Prairie to insure that the subrecipients are meeting their
goals and objectives and that they are expending their funds in a timely manner.
CAPER Report
Annually, the City prepares the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation
Report(CAPER)that is required by HUD and included in the Hennepin County
Consortium's CAPER.
13
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
Other Actions
As described in the Public Housing section, the City of Eden Prairie does not have
oversight of and is not involved in the operation of public housing units, and therefore
does not have a plan to address public housing improvements and resident initiatives.
The proposed actions the City of Eden Prairie will take to reduce the number of
persons below the poverty line are seen in the public services programs we fund, both
with our general funds and CDBG funds, which promote self-sufficiency. Funded
social services programs such as the vehicle repair program, the emergency housing
assistance program, Meals on Wheels, and others listed several times throughout this
Action Plan have the common theme of helping people become or remain self
sufficient. Helping people become or remain self-sufficient will reduce the likelihood
that they will fall below the poverty line.
Evaluating and Reducing Lead Based Paint Hazards
In order to comply with the Lead-Safe Housing Rule, all homes built prior to 1978 will
be tested for lead through the Hennepin County Housing, Community Works and
Transit Lead Hazard Control. If lead hazards are found, they must be corrected and a
clearance report must be completed. This process is completed following HUD
regulations and guidelines. A significantly larger portion of Eden Prairie's housing
stock was built after 1978, however, as redevelopment plans take place, the issue of
reducing lead-based paint hazards will become more prominent.
Resources Available to Address Community Development and Housing Needs
Federal Resources
CDBG: The City of Eden Prairie uses CDBG funds to provide affordable rental and
homeownership options. Using CDBG funding, the City has worked with developers
to set aside affordable rental units in apartment complexes. The City has worked with
the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (WHAHLT) to construct five new
town homes in a new development. During 2011, the city will continue with a first
time homebuyer program to help low/mod income people purchase affordable homes.
Housing Rehabilitation: CDBG Funds will be used to rehabilitate eight single family
homes throughout the City. Eligible repairs include interior and exterior repairs.
Other Resources
State Of Minnesota Resources
• Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA): This agency provides first-time
homebuyer programs, housing rehabilitation programs, and development and
redevelopment financing through their Consolidated Request for Proposals
14
2011 Eden Prairie Action Plan
(RFP) process. Since 1999, 117 loans have been made through the Minnesota
City Participation Program (MCPP) First-Time Homebuyer Program to Eden
Prairie residents.
Metropolitan Council
• Metropolitan Council Family Affordable Housing Program (FAHP): The City
of Eden Prairie agreed to allow the Metropolitan Council to acquire, own,
manage and operate up to 20 properties as public housing units in Eden Prairie.

throughout the City and there are no more than two units in any one
development.
Local Resources
• Tax Increment Financing (TIF): The City has TIF agreements with developers
of rental housing complexes to provide affordable rental for low/moderate
