CONSIDER HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS.GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THIS ITEM. IN MAY OF 2024, THE NICOLLET COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS APPROVED THE LOCAL HOUSING TRUST FUND ORDINANCE, ESTABLISHING THE FUND USING STATEWIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AID TO SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND PRESERVATION.
IN JULY OF 2024, THE BOARD ADOPTED THE HOUSING ADVISORY ADVISORY COMMITTEE FUNDING PRIORITIES, ALLOCATING 10% OF ANNUAL AID TO SHORT TERM HOUSING NEEDS AND 90% TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
IN FEBRUARY OF 2025, THE BOARD AUTHORIZED A ROLLING REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO IDENTIFY QUALIFYING HOUSING PROJECTS AS FUNDS REMAIN AVAILABLE AT ITS FEBRUARY 25TH, 2026, QUARTERLY MEETING.
THE HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE CURRENT BUDGET AND NOTED APPROXIMATELY $16,000 IN ACCRUED INTEREST.
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS REDIRECTING THIS INTEREST TO SHORT TERM HOUSING NEEDS DUE TO GROWING DEMAND AND INSUFFICIENT ANNUAL ALLOCATIONS.
WHEN THE ORIGINAL 10% WAS DETERMINED TO BE SET ASIDE EACH YEAR, OUR FUNDS WERE A GREAT DEAL HIGHER.
SO THAT LEFT US WITH 11,000 PER YEAR IN 2023 AND 2024, AND THOSE ANNUAL AMOUNTS DECREASED TO 4620 25 AND 5720 26.
THOSE DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE INSUFFICIENT TO MEET THE NEEDS OF HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE FACING SHORT TERM FINANCIAL CRISES THAT THREATEN HOUSING STABILITY.
SO THIS MORNING, I AM REQUESTING APPROVAL TO ALLOCATE $16,000 IN LOCAL HOUSING TRUST FUND INTEREST TO OUR SHORT TERM SHORT TERM HOUSING NEEDS, AS RECOMMENDED BY OUR HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
THE RECOMMENDATION? DO WE HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED. SECOND. COMMISSIONER ZINS YOU ON A SECOND, THEN? SURE. SECOND DISCUSSION.
WE HAD GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS.
AND I THINK THAT THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO LAND RIGHT NOW.
I BELIEVE THAT TO BE THE CASE.
KURT DID YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT? NO, I AGREE WITH YOU. OBVIOUSLY THESE FUNDS WERE PUT INTO PLACE FOR USE ON HOUSING AND, AND THESE TYPES OF THINGS.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR THE, FOR THE PERMANENT HOUSING, WHICH IS, HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY, MY WISH TO USE THEM FOR AND WITH OUR DISCUSSION, WE DETERMINED THAT WITH THE INTEREST THAT WE HAD GAINED ON THIS.
THAT WAS AN APPROPRIATE USE OF THE FUNDS RIGHT NOW.
TO APPLY THE INTEREST TOWARD THIS SHORT TERM HOUSING, I JUST MIGHT ADD, MR. CHAIR, IN OUR DISCUSSION WITH THE EVENTS OF THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS OF THIS YEAR, WITH FEDERAL TROOPS IN SAINT PETER AND OTHER PLACES, THAT SOME OF THOSE FUNDS MIGHT SOMEDAY BE USED TO HELP THOSE PEOPLE IN THOSE LOCATIONS. SO I MIGHT ASK, CASSIE, IF THAT IS IN THE FUTURE.
THESE FUNDS WOULD BE AVAILABLE SIMILAR TO OUR CURRENT RUNNING PROGRAM.
SO PEOPLE IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO MAKE SHORT TERM RENTAL NEEDS, THEY CAN APPLY FOR THEM.
YES. SO WOULD THEY APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE HOUSING COMMITTEE OR TO THEIR OWNER OF THEIR MOBILE HOME PARK. HOW DOES THAT WORK? OUR CURRENT PROGRAM OPERATES BY MAKING THE APPLICATION TO HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES.
WE HAVE A SUPPORTIVE HOUSING CASE MANAGER WHO REVIEWS THE APPLICATION AND DETERMINES WHAT THE NEEDS ARE. THEN THEY RECEIVE THE INFORMATION FROM THE VENDOR TO KNOW WHAT THE PAST BILLS LOOK LIKE. IF THE CRISIS IS SHORT TERM AND CAN BE RESOLVED WITH THESE FUNDS, AND THEN WE WOULD WORK WITH FINANCE TO CUT THE CHECK.
SO MY QUESTION WHEN WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION AND KURT, PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.
WOULD THE VENDOR BE THE OWNER OF THE MOBILE HOME PARK IN THIS CASE? I MEAN, IF SOMEBODY FROM A MOBILE HOME PARK WERE TO APPLY FOR FUNDING, THE VENDOR COULD BE MANAGEMENT IF LOT RENTAL WAS PAID TO THEM.
A VENDOR COULD BE THE CITY IF IT WAS UTILITIES.
I SEE. SO IT DEPENDS ON WHERE THE EMERGENCY IS RESULTING FROM.
BUT WE DON'T USE THESE FUNDS TO PAY INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE.
[00:10:01]
WE PAY THE VENDORS. ONCE WE KNOW FROM A FAMILY THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING THE FUNDS, WHAT THE CRISIS IS. AND FROM THE VENDOR WHAT DOLLAR AMOUNT IS OWED.SO THE SCENARIO WOULD BE IF THERE'S A GROUP OF FAMILIES IN THE AREA WHO HAD TROUBLE PAYING THEIR RENT OR ARE BEHIND ON THEIR RENT, THEY WOULD THEY WOULD LET THEIR VENDOR KNOW.
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEEK ASSISTANCE THROUGH THIS COUNTY FUNDING.
THEY WOULD WORK WITH OUR COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT, AND THEY COULD EITHER PROVIDE A COPY OF AN INVOICE FROM ONE OF THE VENDORS, OR THEY COULD COMPLETE A RELEASE OF INFORMATION SO THAT WE COULD GET THAT INFORMATION FROM THE VENDOR.
BUT IT'S OUR SUPPORTIVE HOUSING CASE MANAGER THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH FOR APPLICATION, AND THAT'S WHERE WE WERE, RIGHT KURT WHEN WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION.
YEAH, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, PART OF THE PART OF THE THE DISCUSSION AND WHAT WE FELT WAS VERY IMPORTANT WAS THAT WE USE OUR ESTABLISHED PROTOCOLS FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING NEW.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
THESE FUNDS ARE FOR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE.
AND WHAT'S, WHAT MIGHT MYSELF FELT IMPORTANT THAT THAT THERE WAS A PROTOCOL IN PLACE THERE THAT THE APPLICANTS WERE, WERE VETTED.
THERE WAS A NEED AND THEN IT WENT THROUGH A STANDARD PROCESS.
THIS WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WE DID SPECIFICALLY FOR A SITUATION, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BUT THE, THE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO THOSE THAT NEED IT AND THOSE THAT NEED IT CAN APPLY THROUGH WHAT WE DETERMINED WAS A GOOD SYSTEM WITH THE COUNTY SO THAT WE KNEW THAT THEY WERE BEING APPLIED APPROPRIATELY.
CORRECT. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION.
THANK YOU. FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, CAN WE ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
NEXT ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER EIGHT.
[Property Services]
CONSIDER PROPERTY SERVICES.CONSIDER APPROVAL OF HOUSTON ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT.
AMENDMENT. GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD TODAY I'M HERE TO ASK FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF THE HOUSTON ENGINEERING SERVICE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT.

THE ONE WATERSHED, ONE PLAN AS THE PROJECT TRANSITIONS INTO THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE.

FOLLOWING THE PRESENTATION, THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AGREEMENT, AND I AM REQUESTING YOU APPROVE THE AMENDED AGREEMENT OF HOUSTON ENGINEERING'S SERVICES AGREEMENT.

PROJECT DURATION IS GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY FROM THE BEGINNING OF MAY THROUGH EARLY AUGUST. THE CITY IS PARTICIPATING IN SOME OF THE CONSTRUCTION IN THAT PROJECT.
THEY HAVE A FAIRLY LARGE SANITARY SEWER CROSSING THAT'S GOING TO BE REPLACED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT. SO WE OPENED BIDS YESTERDAY.
THE RESULTS ARE IN YOUR PACKET.
I HAD SUBMITTED AN UPDATED AGENDA ITEM AFTER WE HAD OPENED THOSE BIDS YESTERDAY.
HOLTMEIER CONSTRUCTION WAS THE LOW BIDDER AT $1,757,421.08.
THE TOP THREE BIDS. THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT $8,000 SPREAD IN IN THOSE BIDS, SO, VERY GOOD BIDDING.
SO I'M ASKING THE BOARD TODAY TO AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR SAP 52 642 002 TO HOLTMEIER CONSTRUCTION FOR THE LOW BID AMOUNT OF $1,757,421.08.
AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
OKAY, I'LL MOVE IT. I HAVE A MOTION.

THAT WAS A VERY IN DEPTH, COMPLICATED PROJECT.
