RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL:

By a vote of 8-0 the Commission recommends City Council a letter regarding additional funding for NEX
Apartments Low Income Housing Tax Credit Project, with changes as discussed in the meeting.
CALL MEETING TO ORDER:
Vaughan called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM.
APPROVAL OF THE NOVEMBER 15, 2018 MINUTES:
Eastham moved to approve the minutes of November 15, 2018, with changes as discussed in the
meeting. McKinstry seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0 (Padron not present for
vote).
PUBLIC COMMENT FOR TOPICS NOT ON THE AGENDA:
None.
REVIEW AND CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON APPROVAL OF FY18
ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AMENDMENT #4:
Lehmann noted the Commission has the resolution and exhibit explaining the amendment. As discussed
at the last meeting, Little Creations discovered many of their items costed more than expected when they
went out to bid, so the original budget of $73,000 was not enough to complete their original scope of
work. Little Creations would need approximately $110,000 to complete the project’s original scope of work
(specifically $109,141). Pastor Anthony Smith came before the Commission and requested a substantial
amendment, and because the request was more than 25% of the original budget, the Commission must
evaluate and make a recommendation on the amendment, after which it must go to Council for their
approval. This substantial amendment before the Commission will allow Little Creations to complete the
rest of the scope of work as stated in the original agreement, including new windows, room dividers and

an outdoor storage shed. Lehmann noted the original agreement states it will serve 15 low to moderate
income children, but that is being increased to 20 children because of the increased funding. The City
has not received any comments regarding the resolution to date, it was sent out to other CDBG recipients
because it was for use of uncommitted funds so recipients get an opportunity to provide alternative uses
for those funds; no alternative proposals were received. Lehmann noted Little Creations has recently
experienced some turnover in staff and children, but new staff have been hired and the facility is currently
on track to meet the obligations stated in its agreement regarding the number of children.
Eastham moved to recommend to City Council approval of the FY18 Annual Action Plan
Amendment #4. McKinstry seconded the motion, a vote was taken and it passed 7-0 (Padron not
present for the vote).
QUESTION/ANSWER SESSION FOR FY20-21 LEGACY AID TO AGENCIES APPLICATIONS:
Vaughan thanked all the agency partners that were present this evening and being available to answer
extra questions.
Lehmann noted that in addition to the direct responses to questions from the Commission there was also
two additional comments. One was with regards to Arc requesting a new category, which was included in
the Commission packet, and the other comment was from the Free Medical Clinic. Lehmann also
included the census population estimates for populations 60 and over and for Iowa it is 97% white, for
Johnson County it is over 96% white and in Iowa City it is 94%. African American and Hispanic Latino
were the other two populations specifically mentioned and they are 1% in Iowa, 1% in Johnson County
and 2% for Iowa City each.
Eastham noted that data shows the minority population in Iowa City is about 8.5% and he will keep that in
mind when looking at the agency requests.
Vaughan stated that at the last meeting the Commission decided to prioritize the project based on what
the money was being requested for, not the overall mission of the agency.
Vaughan has one question for Prelude with regards to the numbers they filled in on their chart and asked
for clarification.
Ron Berg (Prelude) explained the chart shows the income range and the number of patients at each
income range and overall percentage of patients at each income level.
Vaughan questioned the RVAP amount of restricted funds and if it is just not separated out in the budget.
Adam Robinson (RVAP) confirmed the budged provided is collective and noted the majority of the funds
are restricted.
Brouse asked UAY if they were using the majority, if not all, of the requested money to match other
programs and if UAY does not get the full request will it hurt the changes for the matching funds.
Genevieve Anglin (UAY) confirmed it would affect their ability to receive the matching funds and UAY will
have to go into debt to match those funds otherwise.
Vaughan noted for the Neighborhood Centers, the request was to use 2018 data and they used 2017
data so she is wondering if they have 2018 data on the question regarding leveraging of funds.
Chastity Dillard (Neighborhood Centers) said they would have some numbers for FY18 and can get them
to the Commission but noted they would be very similar to the FY17 numbers.
Harms has a question for Pathways regarding the added explanation there is a question about adult
daycare for clients from assisted living listed and is wondering if they could state what percentage of
Housing and Community Development Commission
December 20, 2018
Page 3 of 6
clients come from assisted living.
Sofia Mehaffey (Pathways) noted not a lot of clients come from assisted living, maybe just three or four,
the majority of the clients are coming from a group home setting or private homes.
Brouse asked about Pathway’s financial charts and why the carryover funds did not carryover. Mehaffey
replied those fields auto populated and could not figure out how to edit.
Eastham asked if Arc’s question of priorities could be discussed at this point of the agenda. Vaughan said
it was decided at the last meeting the priorities would be decided on project and not agency mission for
this funding cycle.
Brouse questioned The Housing Trust Fund requesting funds for operational costs.
Ellen McCabe (The Housing Trust Fund) said it was their understanding this funding of Aid to Agencies
was for operating costs and can be used for the match from the Iowa Finance Authority.
Fixmer-Oraiz asked if any of the agency partners had questions for the Commission or thoughts on the
application process. Vaughan said they can send those questions comments to City Staff as well.
One audience member noted that when the Commission asks about restricted funds, it can mean
different things to difference agencies. For one it can mean anything that is restricted in one way or
another, like a grant, however to an auditor it means something else.
Another member also noted issues with the auto populated fields. Lehmann asked if those issues had
been seen in the past and if the agency was using the same software as in the past. It was noted the
United Way form can be touchy and not user friendly.
Eastham asked if the information provided was reliable enough for HCDC to make funding decisions
given these complications.
Lehmann said any of the applicants should review their applications and any agency who felt their
information was not presented how they wished on the application could send him an email to explain
what they want the Commission to know.
CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON A LETTER REGARDING ADDITIONAL
FUNDING FOR NEX APARTMENTS LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROJECT:
Eastham shared some proposed changes to the letter and passed them out to the other Commissioners.
He noted he listened to the Council’s discussion of this idea at the last meeting and reread the transcript
and wouldn’t characterize the Council’s discussion in anyway as a consideration of the HCDC
recommendation, it was a discussion and therefore would like the Commission to move forward with a
letter to the Council. His edit changed to the wording in the letter to indicate HCDC did not think that
Council considered this matter.
Alter noted in the second paragraph if we are saying it has not yet been considered, then the tense
should not be in the past. It should not read HCDC “hoped to add” more units but rather that HCDC
“hopes to add”.
Eastham stated his proposed changes specifically state “while providing additional funds” change
“reconsider” to “consider” and remove the last phrase “hopes you will reconsider”. The last sentence
should read “HCDC feels this is an important request”.
Brouse feels before they vote, perhaps they need to hear what the benefit of the additional funds will be.
Kubly noted the developer provided a scenario for Council to consider, that it is not a final proposal, but it
shows if the developer were to receive $200,000 in additional funding, then they could provide additional

low-income housing. They based their request off their proforma and are trying to maintain a debt
coverage ratio of 1.15 in year one. The proposal states they could have four additional units at different
bedroom sizes (one two-bedroom, two three-bedroom and one one-bedroom units at 30% and 40% of the
area income medium) with rents of $450 per month for an additional $200,000 in assistance from the City.
On the proforma, the rents would increase annually projecting a 2% increase in revenue and 3% increase
in expenses. She also noted the difference in rents it would provide. Brouse asked if the current rents
are market rate, Kubly said those would be the rents Iowa Finance Authority requires for the tax credit
program. Lehmann noted based on those numbers the developer proposed the period of reduced
affordability would be for the period of the City loan which is 17 years. Eastham said that is a negotiable
term. Lehmann agreed noting this was just a starting point and it would be up to Council to negotiate the
terms. Eastham said it should not be up to Council but rather for Council to decide on a recommendation
and he feels the Council should consider this recommendation and ask Staff and HCDC to give a
complete recommendation after HCDC sits with the developer and review their numbers and options.
Brouse asked how many affordable units were in the original proposal. Eastham said there were 32
affordable units and 4 at market rate. Affordable is defined as being 30% of a household’s income at
differing percentages of the area median income.
Eastham commented that after reading the transcript from the Council’s work session where this was
discussed, it is still perplexing to him how a conclusion can be drawn from their discussion that Council
actually considered the Commission’s recommendation. He also wondered why the Commission had to
come back and discuss this more and how whoever reached this conclusion could interpret Council’s
discussion as considering this proposal and deciding not to provide any additional funding.
Lehmann stated this letter will be submitted to the following week’s City Council packet, they will have to
decide if they want to discuss further either at a work session or to be placed on an agenda.
Fixmer-Oraiz asked if it was normal to have Council to have HCDC and the developer iron out the details
of a proposal or is that something they should suggest as the outcome of the consideration. Kubly said
typically those types of negotiations are done at the staff level, so if there is something specific HCDC
wants to participate in it should be included in the memo so Council can give direction. Eastham felt it
should be added to the memo, Alter agreed. An additional line was added to the memo stating HCDC
“would like to be further involved in the process.”
Eastham noted he is actively negotiating working with Council members on this item and will continue that
work.
Alter moved to recommend to City Council a letter regarding additional funding for NEX
Apartments Low Income Housing Tax Credit Project, with changes as discussed in the meeting.
Eastham seconded the motion, a vote was taken and motion passed 8-0.
STAFF/COMMISSION COMMENT:
Lehmann noted the next meeting is January 17. At that meeting the Arthur Street Healthy Living will give
an update, there will be a few other monitoring reports, there will be a review of the basics of proformas
as well as the Aid to Agencies recommendations. Lehmann requested the Commissioners complete their
funding and ranking sheets and get them to him by January 3 it would be ideal. Lehmann reminded
everyone the goal of the process is to carry out the City Steps Plan so that should be the guidance for
awards and also in the upcoming year they will begin to look at any need for changes in priorities in the
City Steps Plan.
Lehmann stated they are putting together the RFP (request for proposal) for the Consolidated Plan,
hoping to have it out in January and begin work early next year.
The CDBG/HOME and Emerging Agency applications are out currently, they will close on January 18.
One work session for CDBG/HOME is scheduled for January 3 at 11am at City Hall and an optional
Housing and Community Development Commission
December 20, 2018
Page 5 of 6
session on January 10. For Emerging Agency they have set up three sets of office hours, 9-11am on
January 2, 4 and 8 for help with applications.
There is a Social Justice and Racial Equity Grant application also open at this time, please spread the
word. The grant is for $75,000. The application closes January 2.
Lehmann next gave an update on the transit study, the City has received statements of qualifications from
interested consultants, and they will review the proposals and narrow down the selections. Once a
consultant is chosen he will request they come speak to HCDC.
Lehmann noted a policy clarification, there was a question of joining a board of an agency the City funds
and to avoid conflicts of interest if a member of HCDC serves on a board for an agency it must be
disclosed and the person must recuse themselves from all discussion and voting for any funding rounds
that agency is part of. For CDBG and HOME it also includes the following year after one quits a board.
Lehmann asked what boards current HCDC members serve currently or in the last year.
McKinstry and Eastham are on the Affordable Housing Coalition Board and they do receive funds from
The Housing Trust Fund. McCabe noted The Housing Trust Fund gives $5,000 per year to the Affordable
Housing Coalition Board but those funds come from a number of sources and they do not directly track
them. Lehmann said in that case then it should be okay because those funds are directed from The
Housing Trust Fund and not the City.
Padron noted she was on the library board, but resigned as it was too much, but they do have some
programs they were working on with the Neighborhood Centers. Lehmann said that may be indirect, but
will ask the City Attorney about both situations. Padron is also on the Summer of the Arts board.
Alter said she volunteers with the South District Neighborhood Association as a citizen member, but this
association would like to get a mural so they are interested in applying for the equity grant, can she help
write the proposal. Lehmann said she can because HCDC has no control over the granting of those
funds.
Alter is on a couple boards but not located in Iowa City and do not receive any Iowa City funds.
Vaughan is on the League of Women Voters of Johnson County.
Harms and Brouse are not on any boards.
Eastham is also on the board of the Center for Worker Justice and was a member of the board of Little
Creations Academy but resigned over a year ago.
Lehmann noted The Housing Trust Fund currently has their open funding round which closes January
11th.
Eastham asked if the City has acquired any land in the land banking program that would be relevant as
they go into the CDBG/HOME funding cycle. Lehmann has no answer to that question.
ADJOURNMENT:
Brouse moved to adjourn. Fixmer-Oraiz seconded. Passed 8-0
