CITY OF ST. PETERSBURG

Housing Services Committee Meeting

May 30, 2013 @ 10:30 a.m.

PRESENT: Committee Chair Karl Nurse, Councilmembers James Kennedy, Steve Kornell, Charlie Gerdes and Wengay Newton (alternate)

OTHERS PRESENT: Leisure & Community Services Administrator Clarence Scott; Housing &

Community Development Director Joshua Johnson; Sr. Housing Development Coordinator Stephanie Lampe; Linda Byars, Housing, Ms. Barbara Inman, Chief Executive Officer of Habit for Humanity, and Assistant to the City Clerk Patricia Beneby

Committee Chair Nurse called the meeting to order. Councilmember Gerdes moved for approval of the Agenda. All were in favor of the motion. Councilmember Kennedy moved for approval of the April 25, 2013 minutes as submitted. All were in favor of the motion. In connection with the new business, update of funding the City is programmed to receive for its State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program, Mr. Joshua A. Johnson, Director, Housing and Community Development Department, provided a spreadsheet which contained the amount ($364,213) of funding the City was programmed to receive from Florida Housing Finance Corporation. Mr. Johnson discussed conversation with Mr. Robert Dearduff, the SHIP Administrator at the FHFC, who advised that each local entitlement will receive funding as soon as the Governor signs the bill. Mr. Johnson advised that the funding is to assist with the City’s currently approved programs, and requires that 20% be allocated to fund persons with special needs (developmental disabled, elderly, frail elderly, extremely low-income, etc.), with a maximum of 3% of funding available for program administrative costs. Mr. Johnson indicated that the money received by the County will go to address need in the unincorporated County. Questions were asked about what the numbers were based upon, and $10 million in funding that was to be allocated to the State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) Program and whether those funds would be available to developers to rehabilitate multi-family property. Mr. Johnson responded that the formula is based upon, poverty rates, substandard housing, unemployment, low and moderate-income households within each jurisdiction. He also responded that the SAIL funds are available to multi-family developers and that the City has expended approximately $20 million over the past several years in multi-family development which leveraged more than $100 million in private developer funding. Chair Nurse indicated that this money is from the settlement with the banks as opposed to the regular SHIP funding that is generated from documentary stamps, which were swept to the general fund. No action was taken on this issue. In connection with the NSP-1 and NSP-3 Update, Ms. Stephanie Lampe, Sr. Housing Development Coordinator, reported that there are currently five (5) NSP-3 new homes under construction on NSP-1 land banked properties. Ms. Lampe discussed that since the City had its informal discussion with HUD, Staff received a letter requesting that the City provide monthly reports and a status report of activities through March 2014. This requirement is to ensure that the City meet its 100% expenditure requirement on or before March 9, 2014. Ms. Lampe further discussed that the current developer design build request for proposal (RFP) was recently implemented and resulted in one (1) developer being selected among the three (3) developers who responded to the RFP. She indicated that a review team review the submittals and that two of the

2

bidders had to be eliminated because they did not provide the requested information and had problems with their organizational structure. Ms. Lampe reported that there are four properties for sale, with one coming before City Council for approval on June 20, 2013 that is under contract. Chair Nurse discussed that he became aware of a contractor from Tampa who is able to construct units in Tampa for $99,000 and would like to see units built in St. Petersburg for that amount. Ms. Lampe responded that the Purchasing Department solicited responses from more than 300 vendors and emailed more than 30 vendors who regularly participate in the City’s bid programs. The Committee requested Staff to email developers regarding their reason for not responding to the bid solicitation. Ms. Lampe responded that staff will ask the Purchasing Department to contact the vendors and ask for the reasons for not responding to the bid solicitation. In connection with the new business, Habit of Humanity Update and their plans to expend their funding received from the State of Florida, Ms. Barbara Inman, Chief Executive Officer, explained how Habitat became involved in the process. She was on the Board of Habitat of Florida of which there are similar boards around the country. She resigned from the Florida Board and advocated for the SHIP Program. Because of her advocacy, she received a call from lobbyist who requested that Habit be allowed to receive some of the mortgage settlement money from the state. She wrote a plan for the rehabilitation and demolition of housing, as the legislature informed that there will be no new construction allowed with the funding. The legislature allocated $20 million to Habitat to be spread among its 58 Habitat affiliates throughout the State of Florida. Habitat was given two years to commit the funds. An RFP will be prepared and let and the 58 affiliates will participate in the funding. No affiliate can receive more than 10% of the funding. Habitat intends to use some of the money in the City of St. Petersburg. Ms. Inman discussed that her understanding is that the realtors have decided to advocate for SHIP funding next year, but the builders have not decided if they will advocate for SHIP to be funded. Ms. Inman was asked how 9.9% of SHIP funding allocated to Habitat be brought to the City to leverage other funding. Ms. Inman responded that Habitat state funds will not be able to be combined with other state funds; Habitat will continue to advocate for the state to allocate SHIP funding to local governments; Habitat is not a competitor; her construction department will recommend where the funding should be spent; and that Habitat’s expenditure will be capped at $50,000 per unit. There was discussion on how City Council needs to support Habitat’s advocate for SHIP funding, and that City Council needs to be ahead of next year’s funding to advocate for funding. Councilmember Kennedy requested that staff bring back a resolution at next month’s meeting to request that SHIP funding be funded at the State of Florida for its intended use. Staff was asked to meet with Habit to identify parcels. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:46 a.m.

1. Executive Summary

ECO Planet Green Group proposes to build Net Zero Energy Homes on the County provided lots for

our Wounded Warriors. We have assembled a team of partners that together provide an

extraordinary amount of expertise and experience in the NET Zero Energy home building arena ..

The Planet Green Group has been researching the needs and desires of our Wounded Warriors for

the past 7 months. We have been working closely with the United States Special Forces Command

Center's Care Coalition at McDill Air Force Base. We have obtained extremely valuable information in

respect to the needs of the .wounded service members and as to how to provide them with best

possible long term sustainable housing.

The objective in designing and building homes for the Wounded Warriors is to emphasize the main

elements of sustainable, energy efficient construction. First, it is imperative to properly go through

the building science engineering process to provide a best possible energy efficiency starting point for

the home. Then we have to make sure that the best possible elements are used in the construction

with the focus on affordability and sustainability in both the short and the long term. Balancing with

the environment and the ecological impact of the home during and after the construction is also

important. If all these factors are properly considered we can produce a home that is both energy

efficient and affordable and is also best suited for the environment.

An important part of the overall program objective is to being able to create an initiative that is

scalable on national basis. This can only be achieved if the design, engineering, construction and the

program management can easily be expanded to new territories. We have national partners in place

that can quickly help us in expanding this model into new geographical areas. Thus, we believe that

we have created a financially feasible foundation for this program to be introduced across the county,

state and the nation.

Finally, we believe that in order to best help the 700,000 wounded service men and women that need

housing assistance In this country, the program has the best chance for success if it is for profit based.

However, we also believe that there must be a non-profit element in everything we do. Therefore, we

have teamed up wi_th local organizations to incorporate a non-profit element to this program to

demonstrate how we can achieve both profit and non-profit objectives with one initiative.

ECO PGG is pleased to commit to donating a minimum of $1,000 for each home built to local charities

that support Military Service member needs. We also commit to encouraging each of our partners to

also donate to focal veterans support organizations.

Resolution No. 2013- ---

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ST. PETERSBURG CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDING THAT THE STATE OF FLORIDA ANNUALLY ALLOCATE FULL FUNDING FROM THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HOUSING TRUST FUND TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR THE STATE HOUSING INITIATIVES PARTNERSHIP ("SHIP") PROGRAM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE STATE HOUSING INITIATIVES PARTNERSHIP ACT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR LOW- AND MODERATEINCOME PERSONS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WHEREAS, the State Housing Initiatives Partnership ("SHIP") Program, is created in the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Act, Chapter 420.907 - 420.9079, Florida Statutes ("Act") for the purpose of annually providing funds to counties and eligible municipalities as an incentive for the creation of local housing partnerships, to expand production of and preserve affordable housing, to further the housing element of the local government comprehensive plan specific to affordable housing, and to increase housing-related employment; and

WHEREAS, the Act provides for annually funding the SHIP Program through depositing " ... a portion of the documentary stan1p tax revenues as provided in s. 201.15, moneys received from any other source for the purposes of ss. 420.907-420.9076 and this section, and all proceeds derived from the investment of such moneys" ("Dedicated Revenues") in the Local Government Housing Trust Fund administered by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation ("FHFC") for distribution in accordance with the Act; and

WHEREAS, during the current legislative session the Governor requested SHIP Program allocations be awarded to local governments to implement affordable housing projects; and

WHEREAS, $40 million of the $200 million in funding awarded to the State as a result of the $25 billion Mortgage Servicing Agreement ("Settlement") won by the Florida Attorney General and 48 other States' Attorneys General was appropriated by the Florida Legislature for the SHIP Program; and

WHEREAS, because the Florida Legislature used Settlement funding for the SHIP Program for FY 2014, the Dedicated Revenues were swept to the State's general fund instead of being used to provide affordable housing assistance to low- and moderate-income households in FY 2014, as provided for in the Act; and

Page I of2

WHEREAS, if the SHIP Program is not funded as intended by the Act, low- and moderate-income households who desperately need housing assistance will not be provided that assistance; and

WHEREAS, this information was discussed at the City of St. Petersburg City Council ("City Council") Housing Services Committee ("Committee") on May 30, and June 20, 2013; and

WHEREAS, the Committee requested that a resolution be prepared and presented to City Council recommending its support for annual State funding from Dedicated Revenues for the SHIP Program in accordance with the Act; and

WHEREAS, this City Council finds that it is in the best interest of the City and the State of Florida for the funding of the SHIP Program to be provided annually from Dedicated Revenues as intended by the Act.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, that this City Council recommends that the State of Florida annually allocate full funding from the Local Government Housing Trust Fund to local governments for the State Housing Initiatives Partnership ("SHIP") Program in accordance with the provisions of the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Act for the purpose of providing affordable housing for low- and moderate-income persons.

This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption.

Major Public and Private Investment in Midtown since 1999

Since the early 1980s the City of St. Petersburg has made concerted efforts to revitalize, redevelop, and improve the quality of life for its urban core area known as Midtown. Midtown is a community located in a 5.51 square mile area just south of Downtown St. Petersburg, between 2nd Avenue North and 30th Avenue South to the north and south, and 4th Street and 34th Street to the east and west. Historically, Midtown was the center of the African-American community. African-Americans have had a profound influence on the City since the late 1800s. Many of the residents can trace their family histories back to the Florida boom and bust cycles that occurred throughout the first half of the twentieth century. This generational connection is an asset that provides continuity and a strong sense of belonging. As with other areas of the City, Midtown retains much of the character of its history.

In the past twenty-five years, the City of St. Petersburg has facilitated a number of community development projects in Midtown that impact all facets of life for the area. The City has created a Midtown Strategic Planning Initiative to direct efforts to stimulate jobs for residents, make community improvements, and support entrepreneurs and small businesses. Below is an overview of some of the major private and public investment in Midtown.

1. The Dome Industrial Park Community Redevelopment Area is a 158-acre area bounded generally by 1-275 on the east and south, 1st Avenue South on the north and 34th Street South on the west. It includes the bulk of the area designated in March 1999 by the City Council as the Dome Industrial Park Plan, with the exception of the DIP Pilot Project Site. It also extends the DIP boundaries south of Fairfield Avenue South from 28th Street South to 31st Street South.

Since 1999, the Dome Industrial Park has seen significant investment. Several of these projects, because they involved substantial public investment are detailed below and identified on the attached map. Notable private investment includes Greeno Painting, which completed an $800,000 expansion project at 230 21st Street South in 2001. In the same year, the St. Petersburg Clay Company opened its new facility in the renovated historic 1926 SCL Train Station at the corner of 5th Avenue South and 22nd Street. The Train Station features artist's studios, kilns, equipment and supplies for ceramic artists as well as programs, workshops and galleries.

In 2002, the St. Petersburg Employment and Economic Development Corporation developed a new electronics assembly program at 535 22nd Street South. The program provides CTI certification training and provides support to local electronics companies including Honeywell and Raytheon. In 2006, the Alvarez Photography Studio, located at

150 22"d Street South, opened at a cost of $650,000, while in 2007, a $900,000 dialysis clinic opened at 650 34th Street South.

Since 2005, the City of St. Petersburg has used federal Community Development Block Grant and Economic Development Initiative funds to acquire land in the Dome Industrial Park to promote business retention, expansion and recruitment. As of February 2012, the City has

••• * ... .. . .

purchased more than fifty parcels totaling over $7.7 million for these purposes.

2. Pinellas County Job Corps Training Facility The Department of Labor's facility provides on-site job training opportunities for young men and women, in a variety of vocations including health occupations and construction. This $40 million capital investment by the federal government, coupled with the City's $3.7 million in land acquisition using federal funding from 1999 to 2004, represents a key milestone in the City's efforts to redevelop the 22nd Street South corridor and Midtown. The nine-building complex includes vocational education facilities, a recreation center, gymnasium, administrative offices, a student service center, and two dormitories. Its students currently receive education and training in health care, construction, automotive repair, hospitality, and information technology.

3. Sylvia's at the Historic Manhattan Casino The renowned Sylvia's of Harlem restaurant signed a 50 year lease in December 2012, with Urban Development Solutions to occupy 6,048 sq. ft of the ground floor of the historic Manhattan Casino, as well as operate the 4,348 aq. ft banquet hall on the second floor.

Built in 1925, the Manhattan Casino is significant for its contribution to entertainment and culture in the African-American community for more than forty years. Some of American music's most legendary performers played at the Manhattan including James Brown, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughn, Fats Domino, and the Ink Spots. The Manhattan Casino closed as a dance hall in 1966. After acquiring the property for $520,000.,_ the City spent over $2.4 million to renovate the older structure, and construct an addition to house the main entrance and elevator lobby.

4. DIP Stormwater Improvements In 2010, the City invested approximately $850,000 to construct storm drainage improvements on 24th Street South between 5th and 5th Avenue S and the intersection of the Pinellas Rail Trail.

5. Atherton Oil Site The City continues federally-funded environmental remediation at the Atherton Oil site in the 2500 block of 6th Avenue South in the Dome Industrial Park Community Redevelopment Area, including remediation of contaminated soils and mitigation of groundwater contamination. Full site remediation began in the first quarter of 2010, with remediation equipment constructed in 2010. Thus far, the City has invested over $730,000 in this project. Cleanup of the site to meet the Florida Department of Environmental Protection targets is expected to be completed by 2013.

6. Lantmannen Unibake In 2006, Euro-Bake (now Unibake) opened a new 55,000-SF facility adjoining its existing 12,000-SF manufacturing plant, in the Dome Industrial Park. This $8.0 million investment represents the best in private-public partnerships as the City was able to provide incentives, assemble land and remedy environmental issues to ensure the commercial baker was retained in St. Petersburg rather than relocate to Manatee County to meet its expansion plan requirements.

With 75 existing employees and the potential to double that amount, City officials worked with the company to design a creative redevelopment plan adjacent to its current location. While the company purchased one-half a block, the City secured the other half, which was languishing due to environmental issues, for nearly $320,000 using Community Development Block Grant funding. The City remediated the site and resold the land to the bakery.

In 2012, Unibake unveiled its new Welcome and Research and Development Center, at 230 19th Street South, next door to Tropicana Field. Phase I of a two-phase, $1M project includes a 7,500 SF facility expansion, a new 2,200 SF Research and Development Center, and a customer reception area and corporate offices.

7. The Pinellas Trail In 2008, the City invested $2.9 million to complete the Pinellas Trail extension through the Dome Industrial Park. This effort involved reconstruction of the former rail line through the DIP from 34th Street South to 1-275, with intersection crossings at 28th Street South and 22°d Street/5th Avenue South. With the DIP segment completed, trail users can now travel nearly forty miles along the Tra il from Demens Landing in Downtown St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs, in north Pinellas County.

8. Jordan School Renovation Jordan School, which houses the Pinellas County's Head Start and Early Start programs, is one of the most celebrated projects in Midtown. The City invested $3.9 million to renovate the historic Jordan School, which opened its doors to the African-American community in 1925 to serve almost 1,100 African American youth, allowing the rebirth of the school that had closed its doors in 1997. The Jordan School Project, which has a greywater cistern system, solar panels and other energy efficient elements, is the City's first "Green" renovation project, having received a Silver LEED Certification from the United States Green Building Council.

9. Jordan Park Renovation (HOPE VI) In 2000, the St. Petersburg Housing Authority (SPHA) reopened the Jordan Park public housing complex as part of a $28.5 renovation funded with a federal Hope VI grant and $3-million City contribution using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The new Jordan Park site has tree-lined streets, landscaped yards and new and rehabilitated homes with front porches creating a modem residential neighborhood.

10. The Carter G. Woodson African-American History Museum adjoins Jordan Park and presents the history of the African-American community in St. Petersburg through a local, regional, and national perspective. Named after the Father of Black History Month, the museum not only interprets the past but also provides a venue for community gatherings, weddings and meetings as well as the Legacy Gardens for quiet enjoyment and contemplation. The Museum was renovated for nearly $590,000 by the St. Petersburg Housing Authority as part of the Jordan Park Hope VI grant.

11. St. Petersburg College Achievement Center The 10,000-SF Ach ievement Center was constructed for $2 million by the St . Pet ersburg Housing Authority as part of its HOPE VI project. The facility held its grand opening in June 2003 and it houses a St. Petersburg College campus offering dual high

school/college credit courses; the Partners in Self-Sufficiency's center offering classes in such areas as budgeting, computers, home ownership and life skills; and the YWCA of Tampa Bay drop-in center staffed by professional teachers, where people who are taking classes can leave their children.

12. Royal Theater/Boys and Girls Club The historic 1948 Royal Theater, one of only two movie theaters serving African Americans in St. Petersburg during segregation, was extensively renovated, reopening in December 2003. The project, which was funded with CDBG monies from U.S. Housing and Urban Development, cost over $750,000. In addition, a stage, theater and studios were built with a $225,000 charitable donation from local businessman Bill Edwards.

13. Johnnie Ruth Clarke Health Center The Johnnie Ruth Clarke Health Center Project is $4.4 million collaborative effort to renovate the historic 1923 Mercy Hospital Building, and construct a 21,000-SF addition to house the pediatric, dental, internal medicine and community health services of the Johnnie Ruth Clarke Health Center. The City acquired the property in the late 1990s for nearly $320,000. Construction of the health center has been a critical in meeting the medical needs of an underserved community. Opened in March 2004, the health center now provides low-cost medical care for the community and surrounding neighborhoods.

14. The 22nd Street South Main Street Program and Infrastructure Improvements The 22nd Street South corridor received its "Florida Main Street Designation" in 2000, and is now known as the "The Deuces Live." In 2001, the program was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Institute on Urban Policy at Florida A&M University to renovate a vacant commercial facility. Subsequent to 2001, the City has invested over $471,000 to support the operations of the Main Street Program.

To support the economic development objectives for the corridor, the City is continu ing streetscaping and infrastructure improvements, including intersection improvements at 5th, 91h, and 15th Avenues. The City also installed reclaimed waterlines from 5th Avenue to 18th Avenue South. Total construct ion costs for these improvements exceed $1.5 million. Finally, in 2009, the City complet ed $1.4 million in road and stormwater

infrastructure improvements along 22nd Street in the DIP from 5th Avenue South to Emerson Avenue South.

15. Perkins Elementary In 1999, Pinellas County Schools opened the $9.4 million elementary school at the northwest corner of 22nd Street and 18th Avenue South. The arts magnet school at Perkins Elementary draws parents and children to 22"d Street South from throughout southern Pinellas County.

16. Tangerine Plaza Tangerine Plaza is a 48,000-SF shopping center home to SweetBay Supermarket and a variety of other retailers that opened for business in 2005. The over $9.1 million project culminated a spirited effort by City officials and community leaders to bring a supermarket and neighborhood shopping center to Midtown St. Petersburg. The project involved collaboration between the City of St. Petersburg and Urban Development Solutions, who also partnered with the Sembler Company on developing and leasing of the Plaza.

17. GTE Federal Credit Union The $1.1 million GTE Federal Credit Union opened in December 2009 in the Tangerine Avenue Community Redevelopment Area, providing much needed mainstream banking services to the Midtown community. The City of St. Petersburg assembled land for the GTE site, conveyed the property to the credit union, constructed stormwater improvements to support it and redirected a neighborhood street to allow the block to be consolidated.

18. Tangerine Avenue Community Redevelopment Area To support private development such as Tangerine Plaza, the GTE Federal Credit Union and Dollar General, the City has invested more than $5.1 million for land acquisition, relocation, demolition and development of sites and infrastructure improvements within TACRA. Included in these costs is the City Council-approved undergrounding of Progress Energy transmission facilities along 18th Avenue South which should be completed by the end of 2012.

19. Wildwood Recreation Center In 2001, the City of St. Petersburg completed work on the new $4.55 million recreation center in Wildwood Park, which included two ball fields and basketball courts, a playground, improved parking, new sidewalks, a pool complex, a concession stand, maintenance storage, and bicycle racks.

20. Gibbs High School Opened in 1927, Gibbs was the first high school to educate African-

Midtown St. Petersburg Overview Page6


American students during segregation. In 2004, the new $51-million Gibbs High School was opened to 2,500 students. Taking approximately 18 months to construct, Gibbs was the largest construction project in the history of Pinellas County Schools.

21. St. Petersburg College Midtown Campus Expansion SPC will be breaking ground soon on a $14 million expansion that will quadruple the size of its Midtown Campus. SPC will lease city-owned land to construct a 45,000-square-foot building to house its Midtown Educational Center. College officials hope to break ground on the project in summer 2013 and open by the fall semester of 2014.

22. Dollar General The national retailer opened its doors in Summer 2011 at the southwest corner of 22"d Street South and 18th Avenue South. The $1 million project brings needed convenience retail to the Midtown neighborhood.

23. African American Heritage Project The African American Heritage Project includes identifying sites, buildings and structures that are significant to African-American history in St. Petersburg and creating a palate of informational pieces that will allow the public to learn about and explore the role of African Americans in the historical development of the City.

The Project will included two walking tours with brochures, a smart phone app, a website, and twenty 30" x 40" embedded fiberglass interpretive markers. The first tour will focus on 22nd Street South, also known as "The Deuces," and would include local businesses and entertainment facilities like the Manhattan Casino and the Royal Theater. The second tour will focus on the educational and religious institutions that were centered along 9th Avenue South. These include Jordan Elementary School, Fannye Ayer Ponder Council House and the Happy Workers' Day Nursery.

24. Warehouse Arts District The District - "Where Art Is Made" - overlays a portion of The Dome Industrial Park and extends from 15r Avenue North to 10th Avenue South and 161h Street to the East to 315t Street to the West. The Warehouse Arts District is home to many different artists, many who work and live in their studios, including award winning artist Duncan McClellan who remodeled a tomato warehouse for his workspace, studio, and home. He has added a hot shop to teach the art of glass blowing and firing. Other notable facilities include the St. Petersburg Clay Company at the Historic Train Station and Zen Glass. The St. Petersburg Opera will soon move to 2145 1st Avenue South.

25. Proposed Midtown Community Redevelopment Plan In August 2012, Councilman Karl Nurse, Pinellas County Commissioner Ken Welch and City staff met with Agenda 2010 to discuss the development of a Community Redevelopment Plan to revitalize Midtown St. Petersburg. In September and October, City Council and the Pinellas County Board of County Supervisors voted to support redevelopment of Midtown and potentially using tax increment financing to fund public improvements in the area.
