PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Adopted 2026 budget on December 1, 2025.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
Activity reported may include activity for 2025. Journal entries will be made over the first couple of
months to record the activity in the correct year. The audit fieldwork is scheduled for Mar. 23-27th. The
final 2025 audited financial statements are planned to be presented to city council on May 18th. The cash
balances will be incomplete until the books can be closed for 2025.
Cash/investment presented as January 31, 2026. Budget to actual reports attached for Council review.
The cash and investment balance decreased $1,478,953 from the beginning of the year. The first half of
the year typically reflects a drawdown of cash balances, as property tax settlements and state aid
payments are not received until mid-year. There was a one-time cash disbursement in the amount of
$762,300 to pay the YMCA for the donations received on the community center project. In addition, the
portion of donations received directly at Sentry Bank were returned by the city.
Investment earnings average 3.74% interest rate with an average maturity of 26 months. Interest
earnings for January equaled $46,088 on an ending cash balance of $25,813,268. The change in market
value increased $3,921 in January. Recorded interest earnings as of January 31st total $50,010.
The General Fund spent 11% of the expenditure budget and received 1% of the revenue budget at the
end of January. While revenues and expenditures are operational in nature, there are a couple of items
to point out. Park shelter reservations see the most sign ups in January as customers plan their summer
reunions, graduations and other gatherings. Christmas and Thanksgiving parties are also popular the
scheduling. Many of the annual membership dues are paid in January and show 65% of the budget. This
is typical each year. The annual general liability insurance premiums are paid early in the year. The city
maintenance vehicle #50 is up for replacement. Due to recent mechanical issues and a favorable trade in,
the vehicle was purchased.

The Enterprise funds spent 3% (less depreciation) and received 0% of the revenue budget. The revenue
for usage fees have not been realized yet. Jan and Feb usage will be billed in March with a receivable
reflected in Feb reports. Other revenues such as interest earnings and cellular antenna leases are
received monthly. Expenses are for one operational month. As with the general fund, the general liability
insurance premium allocation to the enterprise funds is recorded. Other revenues and expenses are
operational in nature.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
EDA supported the project and is paying for Central MN Housing Partnership (CMHP) to administer the
grant.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council approved applying for the Small Cities Development Program and contract with CMHP to write
the grant proposal (preliminary application) on September 3rd, 2024.
Council approved the resolution to apply for the full grant on April 7th, 2025.
October 8th, 2025 it was announced that the City received the grant in the amount of $287, 500.
Council approved the contract with CMHP who will administer the grant on November 3rd, 2025.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
CMHP has notified staff that some policies, plans, and procedure documents need to be signed by the City.
Staff and legal reviewed the documents and worked through any concerns. Because the SCDP is a federally
funded grant the documents are tied to federal requirements and mandatory even if some of the
documents are not directly related to the grant scope/work. You may recall the grant is focused on owner
occupied rehabilitation projects in the targeted areas – see attached map. The funds are expected to help
out almost a dozen owner occupied homes with work such as new siding, roofing, windows, and more.
BUDGET IMPACT
No change to already approved budgeted allocations

It is the policy of this Housing Rehabilitation Program to work affirmatively to ensure that all persons
regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, religion, marital status, age, handicap, or reliance on
public assistance, will be treated fairly and equally in their participation in the program.
The City of St. Joseph (hereinafter referred to as the “City”) will be responsible for the promotion of the
Program at the local level and shall exercise care in avoiding promotion methods which may exclude
potentially eligible applicants. Access to program information and materials will not be denied to any
person for any reason including race, color, creed, national origin, sex, religion, marital status, age,
handicap, or reliance on public assistance. Affirmative promotion shall include efforts to reach those
persons who traditionally may not have participated in similar programs.
To develop or maintain an effective affirmative promotion effort, the City shall review its promotion
methods from time to time during the Program to determine how the methods used can be improved to
increase the participation of persons who otherwise might not apply for assistance under the Program,
such as single female heads of households, racial minorities, or persons with handicaps or disabilities.
All applicants will be provided with printed information on Fair Housing with their application packet. The
City and the Program Administrator will not tolerate discriminatory practices within its jurisdiction. The
following practices have been declared to be discriminatory and unlawful under the Fair Housing Act:
• Refusal to sell, rent or to negotiate for the sale or rental of any property based on race, creed, color, sex,
religion, national origin, marital status, familial status, handicap, or in regard to public assistance.
• Discrimination in terms, conditions, privileges and in services and facilities.
• Engage in any conduct which makes dwellings unavailable or denies dwellings to persons.
• Make, print, publish or cause to make, print, or publish public discriminatory advertisements.
• To represent that a dwelling unit is not for sale or rent when in fact it is.
• To engage in blockbusting.
• To deny access to membership or participation in, or to discriminate against any person in his or her
access to membership or participation in, any multiple-listing service, real estate brokers association,
or other service organization or facility relating to the business of selling or renting a dwelling or in the
terms, conditions, membership, or participation.
Whenever a complaint is received alleging a discriminatory housing practice within the jurisdiction of the
City, the City will assist households who may have been discriminated against by providing the following
services:
• The City will post Fair Housing information in public places and will provide information in English
and other languages as determined necessary.
• The City will provide Fair Housing information (pamphlets) to all interested parties.
• The City will provide referral information concerning the ability of alleged discriminated households
to make formal complaints to the State of Minnesota Department of Human Rights or to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
• The City will provide referral information enabling allegedly discriminated households to contact Legal
Services and the Minnesota Migrant Council.

SECTION I. ELIGIBLITY REQUIREMENTS
A. Citizenship
Household citizenship is required to be determined and documented to confirm eligibility. A HUD
approved citizen verification system will be utilized to document citizenship.
B. Location
Eligible homes must be within designated Target Area A, as defined in the application for SCDP funds
and shown on the attached target area map.
C. Conflict of Interest
Federal regulations and Minnesota Statutes specify that elected officials, non-volunteer city employees,
and administrators of the Small Cities Development Program have a conflict of interest. Those with a
conflict may be able to secure an exception to participate in the program if they have no role in the
approval of rehabilitation assistance and can achieve approval of DEED, after completing the waiver
process. All applicants will be required to submit a conflict-of-interest screening form with their
application.
D. Residency
To receive SCDP funds, applicants will be required to have year-round residency in their home.
Recipients must occupy or intend to occupy the selected property as their primary place of residence, and
the property must have a Homestead Real Estate Tax classification.
E. Ownership/Ineligible Types of Housing
The applicant must have an ownership interest in the property to be rehabilitated such as fee simple title, a
contract for deed vendee, or as holder of a life estate. Applicants may not be in default on their home
mortgage, contract for deed, or comparable obligation. All contracts-for-deed shall be recorded at the
County Recorder’s office. Contract vendors must sign repayment agreements along with contract vendee.
Both contract vendors and vendees must meet program income limits. Remaindermen must sign mortgages
as required on a life estate deed. No descending forgiveness of a deferred loan (if applicable) will be allowed
for rehabilitation liens on life estates. SCDP policy is that no portion of the loan will be forgiven until after
the full term has expired.
Single-wide mobile homes, even if the home is attached to a foundation or if it has additions, are
not eligible for rehabilitation with SCDP funds. Homes in a 100-year floodplain are not eligible unless
they will soon be removed from the flood plain due to re-mapping. Evidence of the pending
flood-plain change must be provided to the Program Administrator. Minnesota Urban and Rural
Homesteading (MURL) homes are not eligible for SCDP assistance.
F. Taxes/Homeowners Insurance/Assessments/Liens/Bankruptcy
All property taxes must be paid in full prior to application approval, and there shall be no tax liens or
past-due assessments or judgments on the property. Applicants must carry current owner’s insurance at
the time of the application and through the completion of rehabilitation with a minimum of hazard
insurance coverage. Where the applicant does not have said insurance at the time of application, the
applicant will be issued a temporary denial and the application will be placed on hold until insurance can
65

[PAGE 66]
be secured, not to exceed 30 days. Applicants will not be eligible for program funding if they are
currently involved in bankruptcy proceedings.
G. Asset Limitations
There is no asset limit for homeowners. However, income earned from assets must be counted as income
for income verification.
H. Household Income Limits
The total income of the household must not exceed the current HUD Moderate Income Limits for Stearns
County, at the time the homeowner application is being processed. Income limits are updated annually by
HUD, typically in the spring. Previous years income limits will be followed until updated income limits
are published by HUD. Current 2026 income limits are listed below.
Household Annual Gross Household
Size Income Limit
1 $57,800
2 $66,050
3 $74,300
4 $82,550
5 $89,200
6 $95,800
7 $102,400
8 $109,000
Gross annual income verification will follow HUD regulations. Gross annual income, per program
requirements, is calculated by projecting gross income forward over the coming 12 months. Verifiable
income includes all the following:
• Salaries: including tips, bonuses, commissions, overtime pay, pensions and annuities
• Public Assistance; including MFIP, SSI, MSA, Unemployment Compensation
• Social Security or Disability and Workers Compensation
• Estate/trust income, rental income, gain from the sale of property or securities, contracts
for deed
• Interest earned
• Business profit
Temporary, non-recurring or sporadic income shall not be considered as part of a household’s gross annual
income. Excluded income is defined as follows:
• Income from children under 18 years of age
• Full time students over 18 years of age (after the first $480.00)
• House guests
• One time gift
• Payments for foster children
• Medical expenses reimbursements
• Educational scholarships used for tuition, fees, or books
• Insurance lump sum payments or judgments for health, accident, worker’s compensation and personal
or property losses (Any interest income derived from such sources will be viewed as annual income)
66

[PAGE 67]
• Hazard duty pay to a household member in the Armed Forces
• Reimbursements of expenses
I. Substandard Housing
The structure to be rehabilitated must be deficient in at least one of the following areas: structural
soundness, living space or accessibility, water supply or sewage disposal, energy efficiency, heating
system, plumbing or electrical system.
J. Nuisance Standard
Homeowners must demonstrate compliance with all local public nuisance standards (weeds, junk, etc.).
The exception would be items proposed for rehabilitation being alleviated through the program.
K. Homeowner Expectations
Homeowner will read, understand, and sign the “What to Expect / What Not to Expect” and “Walk Away
Policy” forms as a condition of project approval.
SECTION II. TERMS OF SCDP ASSISTANCE
A. Maximum/Minimum SCDP Contribution
The maximum SCDP contribution on any rehabilitation project shall not exceed $25,000. The minimum
SCDP contribution on any rehabilitation shall not be below $7,500.
B. Deferred Loans
Assistance provided with SCDP funds will be in the form of a 0% interest, 7-year term, deferred payment
forgivable loan. All SCDP funds will be secured with a lien against the property that is rehabilitated.
Households will be required to repay all or some portion of their SCDP loan, if the home is sold within
the seven-year loan term from the date that the loan is issued. The percentage of the loan amount that
must be repaid is gradually forgiven over the appropriate lien term according to the following schedule:
• Within a period of one (1) year from the date the loan is issued, the homeowner shall repay to the City
a sum equal to the full amount of the Deferred Loan.
• Within the second year from the date of the Deferred Loan and thereafter, the homeowner shall repay
to the City a sum equal to sixth sevenths (6/7th) of the amount of the Deferred Loan, and for each year
thereafter, said payback amount shall be decreased by 1/7 up to the seventh year, at which time the
homeowner shall have no obligation to repay the Deferred Loan or any portion thereof.
For this program to be as cost-effective as possible, applicants may be required to help finance a portion
of their rehabilitation work. Other funding may be available, usually in the form of reduced interest loans,
to assist households to finance the remainder of their project. Households that qualify for 100% deferred
payment loans through this program are expected to explore other funding options that may be available.
The purpose of SCDP funds is to supplement other funding sources. Program staff will assist households
in exploring other possible funding sources. An applicant may be eligible for SCDP funds if funding
through other sources, including local financial institutions, has been denied. MHFA Rehabilitation
Program loans, Greater Minnesota Housing Fund loans, Rural Development grants and loans,
67

[PAGE 68]
Weatherization Assistance, and other public/private sector funds may be used to help applicants finance
rehabilitation. All low- and moderate-income households unable to secure other resources may be assisted
with SCDP funds not to exceed the maximum contribution.
C. Owner Funds
Homeowners who are approved for SCDP funding will be responsible for the County document recording
fee for the SCDP Repayment Agreement.
If the total cost of repairs exceeds the maximum SCDP loan limit, the applicant will be responsible for
securing additional funds beyond the required owner funds. If the owner is unable to secure the necessary
funding, then the scope of the project will be reduced in a manner that is consistent with the funding
priorities and adopted housing standards. A final determination of eligibility shall be made by the
Program Administrator.
Owner funds must be provided to the Program Administrator for deposit in an escrow account before a
‘Notice to Proceed’ can be issued to the contractor. If the owner’s funds fall through after contract
execution, they will have a maximum of 60 days from the date of the construction contract to secure the
required owner match to complete the project. If an owner cannot secure an alternative owner funds
source, the construction contract will be revised or terminated.
D. Previous SCDP Assistance
If a home received prior SCDP assistance, all SCDP loans must have been satisfied or matured for the
home to be eligible.
SECTION III. DETERMINATION OF IMPROVEMENTS
A. Suitable for Rehabilitation
The property must be determined feasible, both structurally and financially, after all eligible assistance is
calculated. The work required to correct any lead-based paint hazards will be considered in the suitable
for rehabilitation determination. The Program Administrator will determine its suitability.
B. Basic and Necessary Repairs
Each improvement must be a permanent general improvement. Only those repairs that are needed to bring
the home up to the Program’s Housing Quality Standards (HQS), which are based on HUD’s Section 8
Housing Quality Standards, will be included in the rehabilitation project. Additionally, reasonable repairs
that improve the structural integrity, livability and safety of the home could be included in the project at
the discretion of the Program Administrator. These could include weatherization measures, if vitally
needed, and weatherization sources of funds are not available. The priority of use of SCDP funds will be
to correct deficiencies that affect the health, safety, and welfare of the occupants, and to improve the
energy efficiency of the home.
C. Eligible Improvements
Each improvement must be made in compliance with all applicable, health, fire prevention, building,
housing and energy codes and standards. The property must comply with local nuisance standards and
68

[PAGE 69]
meet Housing Quality Standards (HQS) after completion of rehabilitation work. If funding sources are
inadequate for the home to meet HQS, the home will be deemed unsuitable for rehabilitation.
Eligible improvements include, but are not limited to the following:
• Physically attached to the dwelling and be permanent in nature.
• Structural improvements including roof replacements (match existing material), exterior and
interior walls, substandard floors, stairs, and foundations.
• Address health and safety concerns.
• Improvements that make the home more accessible and habitable for persons with disabilities.
Disabilities must be documented as permanent and affect major life functions.
• Improvements of heating, plumbing, or electrical systems.
• Weatherization and increased energy-efficiency.
• Exterior painting or siding, as necessary.
D. Ineligible Improvements
Ineligible improvements include, but are not limited to the following:
• Remodeling. The term remodeling is viewed as altering the structure of the building.
• Detached garages, garage door openers, or any out-buildings.
• Steel roof if existing roof is of non-steel (i.e., asphalt shingle) material. SCDP funds can pay up to
the cost of a shingle roof with the homeowner paying the cost difference to install a steel roof.
• Installing pitched roofs over existing roofing systems is not allowed. If improvement is necessary,
consult your respective SCDP Representative.
• Fireplaces, wood stoves, central air conditioning, water softeners.
• Decks or patios unless part of dwelling entry or exit.
• Fencing or landscaping unless it is restorative after basement foundation work.
• Driveways or sidewalks, except when addressing documented safety or accessibility issues.
• Kitchen appliances, window treatments, and decorative work.
• Floor coverings, unless addressing a documented health and safety issue.
• Kitchen cabinets and countertops, unless to address inadequate or unsanitary food storage or
preparation issues.
• 200-amp electric services, unless need is justified under special circumstances approved by SCDP
Representative.
• Installation of air conditioning unit.
• Installation of luxury items, such as gazebo, jacuzzi tub, etc.
• Room additions. Exceptions to this rule may be granted only under extraordinary circumstances
and with approval from DEED Small Cities unit. Where such an exemption is granted, room
additions shall only be allowed:
To accommodate the installation of a bathroom or kitchen if one does not exist and
o
current space will not allow
Meet building code setbacks or
o
Overcrowding
o
Case by case basis (not increasing the footprint of the home) discussed with SCDP
o
Representative.
• Work begun or completed before the date of the Notice to Proceed order.
69

[PAGE 70]
E. Ineligible Improvements Allowable with Other Funds
The applicant may use bank loans, his/her own funds on hand, or other funds to finance those
improvements which are not eligible for financing with SCDP funds. Such improvements shall be
allowable as “owner funds” participation and shall be separately identified on scope of work and bid
forms.
F. No funds for Assessments
SCDP funds shall not be used for the payment, wholly or in part, of assessments for public improvements.
However, such funds may be used for that portion of improvements located on the property which will
bring an individual water supply system or sewage disposal system into compliance with local, state, or
federal environmental and sanitary standards.
G. No Funds for Refinancing Existing Debt
No SCDP funds shall be used, in whole or in part, for the purpose of refinancing or paying off existing
indebtedness. All such funds must be used to finance improvements begun after application approval.
H. Historical Review
After the initial inspection of the property is completed, the Program Administrator will send a clearance
request to the State Historic Preservation Office. If the structure has been determined historically
significant, plans for exterior improvements to the structure must be reviewed and commented on by the
Minnesota Historical Society.
I. Lead Paint Polic
The City will follow the current policy outlined by the MN Department of Employment and Economic
Development. As participation in the owner-occupied housing rehabilitation is a voluntary decision, the
program will not pay for any temporary relocation that may be necessary due to interim controls related to
lead-based paint.
All program applicants will receive notification of the hazards of lead-based paint. A visual inspection of
defective paint surfaces will be completed at the time of the initial inspection. All homes built in 1978 or
prior are required to have a lead paint risk assessment completed by a certified lead risk assessor. CMHP
will submit a request to the lead assessor, and they will contact the homeowner to schedule a time to do the
assessment. A copy of the full report shall be provided to the homeowner. Costs for the lead risk assessment
will be attributed to the total project cost, and will be paid for with SCDP funds, to be included in the
homeowners SCDP loan. All defective surfaces will be corrected in accordance with Minnesota statutes
and lead safe work practices. Any project in which lead paint is present will require a certified lead
contractor to complete the work. CMHP will provide homeowners with a list of Lead Certified Contractors
and homeowners will be notified of lead clearance after project completion.
Contractor Lead Paint Requirements: Federal and State lead requirements will be followed by ensuring
that the following steps are taken:
• All contractors working on projects with lead-based paint will be trained in accordance with
HUD/DEED requirements; and
• Contractors will have an MDH lead supervisor certification on file with CMHP; and
70

[PAGE 71]
• Contractors will complete additional refresher courses as required of the HUD/EPA requirements.
SECTION IV. MARKETING/APPLICATION SELECTION AND APPROVAL
Program Administrator staff will review and approve eligible applications. The following process will be
utilized to promote the program to eligible applicants, and for applicant selection:
A. Outreach and Public Notices
An extensive effort will be made to reach those property owners who would benefit from the program by
conducting outreach and public notice activities which will include those who expressed interest as part of
the application formation, ads in newspapers, newsletters, personal interviews, and letters to homeowners.
Various housing providers, disaster relief organizations, and social service agencies will be notified of
SCDP funding availability. Affirmative efforts will be undertaken to ensure that those who are minorities
or have disabilities are made aware of the program.
B. Application Intake
Applications will be accepted on a first come first served basis throughout the entire length of the
program or until funds are expended. After the initial approval letter has been sent, an on-site inspection
will be scheduled. If the home was built in 1978 or prior, the homeowner will be notified that a Certified
Lead Risk Assessor will also visit the property to conduct a lead risk assessment, and they will contact
them directly to schedule that inspection.
C. Notification
Applicants with verified LMI incomes, houses that meet the definition of suitable for rehabilitation, and
meet the Eligibility Requirements outlined in Section 1 will be selected if sufficient funds are available.
Initial approval letters will be sent to those selected as recipients. Those not selected will receive a denial
letter, notifying them of the status of their application.
D. Policies and Procedures Guide
A copy of this Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Policies and Procedures Guide will be given to applicants
for review and discussion of content at the time they receive a program application.
SECTION V. PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
A. Inspections
Program Administrator staff will be responsible for carrying out a minimum of three inspections: an
initial inspection to determine scope of work, a progress inspection(s) to monitor work and a final
inspection. The initial inspection will be done to determine that:
• All necessary improvements are listed, including those required to eliminate lead-based paint hazards,
• The structure, upon completion of rehabilitation will meet, at a minimum, the Program’s Housing
Quality Standards, and will be livable, safe, and energy efficient.
Scope of Work Write-Ups: Upon completion of the initial inspection, the Program Administrator shall
prepare a Scope of Work write-up indicating the scope of work necessary to bring the property into
71

[PAGE 72]
compliance with the Program’s HQS. Any improvements deemed necessary by the Program
Administrator for the property to conform to the Program’s HQS and the general program eligible
improvements requested by the property owner shall be included as part of the work write-up. The
Program Administrator shall specify improvements that qualify for SCDP funding. After a lead-paint risk
assessment has been completed, work items addressing lead-based paint hazards will be added to the
work write up in a way that makes them stand out. A notation on those items that qualified contractor(s)
are necessary to conduct the work will also be made. Ineligible improvements paid for with leveraged
funds will be identified.
B. Risk Assessment for Lead
A Lead Paint Risk Assessment will be performed on homes built in 1978 or earlier, prior to creating a
scope of work. The property owner will sign a repayment agreement for the rehabilitation work, which
will include the costs for the risk assessment.
C. Progress Inspections
Progress inspections will be done before partial payments are made to ensure that specified improvements
are completed. Progress inspections will be scheduled by the Program Administrator to monitor work
progress when the contractor submits invoices for said work. Program Administrator staff reserves the
right to inspect the property at any time upon reasonable request to applicant.
D. Final Inspection
Upon completion of work, an inspection will be conducted to determine that all work has been completed
in a satisfactory manner, and that the home meets the Program’s Housing Quality Standards. A Lead
Clearance Inspection will be performed at project completion to certify that all lead-based paint hazards
have been properly eliminated or treated. In the event of a dispute between the owner and the contractor
concerning the completion of rehabilitation, the Program Administrator shall work with both parties to
negotiate a satisfactory solution. A resolution will have to be decided by both the homeowner &
contractor. If such a solution cannot be found, the City building official shall be the final authority on
when the job has been satisfactorily completed. All disputes will be resolved by binding alternative
dispute resolution.
SECTION VI. CONSTRUCTION AND CONTRACT PROCEDURES
A. Contractor List
A list of participating contractors will be established by the Program Administrator through local outreach
and referrals. Section 3 and women, and minority owned contractors will be urged to bid.
B. General Contractors
All rehabilitation work must be performed by a fully licensed and insured general contractor. Contractors
performing specified lead-based paint rehabilitation activities must be certified in accordance with the
DEED lead policy.
C. Contractor Eligibility and Performance
Contractors shall not be debarred and shall have been determined capable based on past performance and
ability to perform successfully. The Program Administrator will conduct debarment searches of all
72

[PAGE 73]
contractors. If applicable, contractors will carry at least the minimum amounts of liability insurance
established by the State of Minnesota. Owners are not allowed to complete work or perform “sweat
equity.” Only licensed contractors will be allowed to complete the necessary work. NOTE: Even if a
homeowner is a licensed contractor, they will still not be allowed to complete work or “self-help” on their
home.
D. Bids/Cost Estimate
An attempt will be made to secure competitive bids from at least three general contractors, or two
in areas of low contractor supply. If the project does not involve any general contractor work and
it is more feasible to solicit bids from a specific trade, an attempt will be made to secure competitive bids
from at least three contractors within that trade(s), or two in areas of low supply. If only one bid is
received after bid solicitation, a cost estimate shall be prepared by the Program Administrator to justify
the reasonableness of the sole bid and shall be included in the project file.
E. Scope of Work Write-Up and Change Orders
All bids shall relate only to improvements designated by the Program Administrator in the owner
approved Scope of Work write-up. Any changes made to the Scope of Work by the homeowner after
approval will be prohibited and ineligible for SCDP program funds. All change orders need to be
approved by the Program Administrator, homeowner, and contractor. The homeowner will be responsible
for all costs associated with any extra work done by the contractor not in the approved Scope of Work.
F. Bid Awards
A contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder complying with specifications. Owner may
contract with non-low bidder when willing to pay the difference between selected contractor and lowest
bidder.

The Program Administrator shall conduct progress and final inspections. Prior to the disbursement
of any funds, work shall be satisfactorily completed and approved by the homeowner and Program

completed work is verified and payment is requested by invoice from the contractor. Work being funded
by SCDP, or city provided funds, will be disbursed by the City. Owner out-of-pocket funds (if applicable)
will be provided to the Program Administrator and deposited into an escrow account. The Program
Administrator will disburse owner funds directly to the contractor.
P. Contractor Payments
Contractors will be required to provide an itemized invoice to the Program Administrator for all payment
requests for work completed. The Program Administrator will then create a draw request form, which
must be signed by the homeowner. Upon completion of the rehabilitation construction, lien waivers and

signatures of both: the owner and contractor with approval by the Program Administrator. The cost of
changes must be included in each change order. Any work that is done and is not on the Scope of Work
write-up or approved change order will not be paid for with SCDP funds. Any changes made by the
74

[PAGE 75]
homeowner after the inspection and work write-up by the Program Administrator on the Scope of Work
will be prohibited and ineligible for SCDP funds. The Program Administrator must approve all change
orders.
S. Time For Completion
• A maximum of 90 calendar days will be allowed for completion of contracted work on a house
beginning as of the date on the Notice to Proceed. Failure to begin work by the completion date shall
be grounds for termination of the contract.
• This time period shall not be exceeded except by written Change Order, which shall outline the
circumstances that require an extension of time and shall specify a revised completion date. In the
absence of such a Change Order, failure to complete work on time shall be grounds for termination
of the contract.
• A waiver of this time period may be granted upon the homeowner’s request to the Program
Administrator.
T. Termination of Contract
A Contractor-Owner contract may be terminated due to the following circumstances:
• Poor work performance on the job site and the demonstrated inability to rectify poor workmanship.
• Causing undue damage to the property and showing an inability or unwillingness to correct the damage.
The cost of repairing the damage will be deducted from any money owed to the contractor for work
already completed.
• Where collusion or fraud has been determined to exist on the part of the contractor.
• Lack of sufficient insurance coverage.
• Inability of the contractor to perform the work within the allotted time.
• Irreconcilable and irresolvable differences between the contractor and the owner.
U. Selection of Materials and Colors

selections will fit the neighborhood, and any judgment calls about what fits the neighborhood will be
made collectively among the City, Program Administrator, and the homeowner. Costs and types will
be deemed reasonable by the Program Administrator. Products come in three types, “economy,”
“standard,” and “deluxe.” We specify the “standard” items. The Program Administrator will be the final
decision maker as to whether a product is “standard.”

[PAGE 80]
Residential Anti-displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan
under Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as Amended
The City of St. Joseph anticipates participating in the Minnesota Small Cities Development Program. Through
this participation, owner-occupied rehabilitation will occur. The consequence of the proposed activities is that
the potential for displacement exists, although it is not anticipated. The purpose of the Residential Anti-
displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan is to describe the steps the City of St. Joseph shall take to mitigate
the adverse effects of displacement on low and moderate-income persons.
I. The City of St. Joseph will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate-income dwelling
units demolished or converted to use other than as low/moderate-income housing in connection with an activity
assisted with funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, as
described in 24 CFR, Part 570.606 and 24 CFR, Part 42. All replacement housing will be provided within three
years after the commencement of the demolition or conversion. Before entering into a contract committing the
City of St. Joseph to provide funds for an activity that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the
City of St. Joseph will make public and submit to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic
Development the following information in writing:
A. A description of the proposed assisted activity;
B. The location on a map and number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be
demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate-income dwelling units as a direct
result of the assisted activities;
C. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversions;
D. The location on a map and the number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will
be provided as replacement dwelling units. If such data are not available at the time of the
general submission, the City of St. Joseph will identify the general location on an area map and
the approximate number of dwelling units by size and provide information identifying the
specific location and number of dwelling units by size shall be submitted and disclosed to the
public as soon as possible;
E. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units;
F. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low/moderate-income
dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy;
G. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of dwelling units with smaller
dwelling units (e.g., a 2-bedroom unit with two 1-bedroom units) is consistent with the housing
needs of low and moderate-income households in the jurisdiction.
The City of St. Joseph may request the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development to
recommend that the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development approve an exception to required
replacement housing if there is an adequate local supply of vacant low/moderate-income dwelling units in
standard condition. Exceptions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as described in 24 CFR, Part
570.488(c)(1)(B).
80

[PAGE 81]
II. The City of St. Joseph will provide relocation assistance, as described in 24 CFR, Part 570.488(c)(2), to
any lower-income person displaced by the demolition of any dwelling unit or the conversion of a low/moderate-
income dwelling unit to another use in connection with an assisted activity.
III. Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the City of St. Joseph will
take the following steps to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes:
1. Displacement of persons from their homes should not occur as the proposed rehabilitation
program is for owner-occupied rehabilitation only. No demolition or conversion of homes will be
completed.
Definitions for the purposes of this plan are as follows:
A “low/moderate-income dwelling unit” is a unit with a market rent, including utility costs, that does not
exceed the applicable fair market rent for existing housing and moderate rehabilitation, as
established under the HUD Section 8 existing housing program. A “vacant occupiable dwelling unit” is a vacant
unit that is in standard condition; or in substandard but suitable for rehabilitation condition; or in dilapidated
condition and occupied less than three months from the date of the grantee agreement.
An “Occupiable Dwelling Unit” is a unit that is in standard condition or has been raised to a standard condition
from a substandard condition, suitable for rehabilitation.
A “Standard Condition” dwelling unit is a unit which meets HUD Section 8 Housing Quality Standards
(HQS) with no major defects in the structure and only minor maintenance is required. Such a dwelling will have
the following characteristics: reliable roofs, sound foundations; adequate and stable floors, walls and ceilings;
surfaces and woodwork that are not seriously damaged nor have paint deterioration; sound windows and doors;
adequate heating, plumbing, and electrical systems adequate insulation; and adequate water and sewer systems,
and not overcrowded (defined as more than one person per room).
A “Substandard Condition” dwelling unit is a unit if it does not meet HUD Section 8 Housing Quality
Standards (HQS) which includes lacking the following: complete plumbing, complete kitchen facilities,
efficient and environmentally sound sewage removal and water supply, and heating source. In addition, the
dwelling may be overcrowded defined as more than one person per room).
A “Substandard but Suitable for Rehabilitation Condition” dwelling unit, at a minimum, is a dwelling unit
that does not meet Housing Quality Standards (HQS) with some of the same features as a “substandard
condition” dwelling unit. This unit is likely to have deferred maintenance and may have some structural damage
such as a leaking roof, deteriorated interior surfaces, and inadequate insulation.
A “substandard but suitable” dwelling unit, however, has basic infrastructure (including systems for clean
water and adequate waste disposal) that allows for economically and physically feasible improvements and
upon completion of rehabilitation meets the definition of a “Standard” dwelling unit.

CITY OF ST. JOSEPH
SMALL CITIES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - SECTION 3 PLAN
The City of St. Joseph, in conjunction with Small Cities Development Program (SCDP) Grant#
CDAP-24-0052-O-FY25, has the following plan to direct employment and other economic
opportunities generated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
financial assistance for housing and community development programs, to the greatest extent
feasible, towards low- and very low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of
government assistance for housing.
This plan outlines how the City of St. Joseph and its subrecipients, contractors and
subcontractors will comply with HUD’s Section 3 requirements, as applicable, in implementing
the City of St. Joseph’s SCDP grant. To the greatest extent feasible, funded project work will be
directed towards low- and very low-income persons and to Section 3 businesses. In addition, to
the greatest extent feasible, work will also be directed towards women- or minority- owned
businesses. Being a Section 3 business or a woman- or minority-owned business is not required;
however, preference is given to those businesses.
A business may be considered a Section 3 business if they meet one or more of the following
criteria:
1. At least 51% of the business is owned and controlled by low- or very low-income
persons; or
2. At least 51% of the business is owned and controlled by current public housing
residents or residents who currently live in Section 8-assisted housing; or
3. Over 75% of the labor hours performed for the business over the prior three-month
period are performed by Section 3 workers.
Businesses may demonstrate Section 3 business eligibility by submitting the Section 3 and
Women- or Minority-Owned Business Certification form. This form may also be used to
demonstrate a business is a women- or minority-owned business. The City of St. Joseph will
require all contractors and subcontractor to complete and submit the Section 3 and Women- or
Minority-Owned Business Certification form prior to the start of the project.
The City of St. Joseph will attempt to recruit Section 3, women- or minority-owned businesses,
or low- or very low-income workers through:
• Local advertising media
• Signs prominently displayed at city hall
• contracts with the community organizations and public or private agencies operating
within Stearns County in which the Section 3 covered program or project is located
