PUBLIC HEARING
V.I. Public Hearing on the Approval of a Housing Program for a Multifamily Housing
Development and the Issuance of Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds for the
Benefit of Alatus Hopkins LIHTC I LLC; Bishop
Finance Director Bishop provided a summary of City Council Report 2022-057. Alatus
has applied for and received authorization from Minnesota Management and Budget to
issue up to $24,927,542.75 of tax-exempt housing revenue bonds for the purpose of
acquiring, constructing and equipping a 116-unit multifamily rental housing facility located
at 325 Blake Road for individuals and families of low and moderate income. A public
notice for this amount has been published in accordance with the Act. Alatus determined
that, due to increased costs, the principal amount of the bonds will need to be increased
by approximately $5,000,000. Any amount over $24,927,542.75 will be issued on a
taxable basis. The new amount is a significant change from the public notice and will
require a new notice to be published and public hearing to be held on June 20th.
Mayor Pro Tempore Hunke opened the Public Hearing at 6:53 p.m.
Mike Estomba, 221 6th Avenue N., Hopkins, questioned the definition of public housing.
Libby Kantner with Kennedy & Graven talked about the income requirements for issuing
the tax-exempt housing revenue bonds.
