OSKALOOSA HOUSING TRUST FUND COMMITTEE MINUTES
Wednesday, September 16, 2015 - 12:00 Noon
City Hall Conference Room
The committee meeting was called to order by Chair Dalbey at 12:00 p.m. with the following
members present: Dan Adams, Joe Caligiuri, Kandes Dalbey, Randell Davis, Valinn McReynolds
Noel C. Stahle (at 12:05 p.m.), and Carri Vande Ree. Members absent: Kathie Dykstra, Bernice
Hahn, Dave Polkowske and Leon McCullough. Also present: Amy Miller, City Clerk; Michael
Schrock, City Manager; Dylan Mulfinger, Management Analyst; and Marilyn Johannes.
It was moved by Caligiuri, seconded by Adams to approve the July 2, 2015 Housing Trust Fund
Committee Minutes and the August 3, 2015 Housing Trust Fund Committee Special Meeting
Minutes. Motion carried unanimously.
Dylan Mulfinger, Management Analyst, distributed Housing Trust Fund Committee orientation
packets to the committee. Mulfinger explained the packets were created to serve as an
orientation document for new committee members on city boards and commissions.
Mulfinger told the committee to feel free to make recommendations to change or enhance the
packet for the Housing Trust Fund Committee.
The committee discussed the request for a demolition grant from Brian Booy for demolition of
a house located at 416 2nd Avenue West.
(Stahle arrived at 12:05 p.m.)
It was moved by Adams, seconded by Vande Ree to approve demolition grant funds up to
$4,000 for demolition of the structure located at 416 2nd Avenue West. Motion carried
unanimously.
The committee discussed the changes made to the Demolition Program Plans. Miller stated
City Council has to approve changes to the demolition programs and since the committee did
not meet on September 3 due to lack of a quorum, if the changes are approved as presented by
the Housing Trust Fund Committee, they will be presented to the City Council at the October 5,
2015 city council meeting and become effective October 15, 2015.
It was moved by Caligiuri, seconded by Davis to approve the Demolition Program Plan changes.
Motion carried unanimously.
The committee reviewed and discussed the city manager’s 2015 Housing Action Plan with City
Manager Michael Schrock. Schrock gave an overview of the plan and implementation of the
program. Schrock said essentially it is what he would like to see done in the community
regarding housing and explained that he worked with Main Street Oskaloosa and the Mahaska
Community Development Group to develop the plan. Schrock said he hopes the group will get
excited about the plan, embrace it and support if financially. Schrock indicated that he would
like to receive funding to update the housing needs assessment. Schrock said he would be
requesting $50,000-$75,000 at a future meeting.
Miller gave an overview of the 2015 Annual Financial Report included in the OHTF agenda and
discussed the report with the committee. The committee discussed the reason for the
decrease in the use of the First Time Homebuyer Program. Miller offered to contact other
entities to see if they are experiencing the same trend. It was noted the program has had a
reduction in usage in the past but it has rebounded. Miller told the committee the report will
be put on the city website.
Vande Ree mentioned that she has had several conversations with clients regarding the
Ironwood housing project. The committee discussed the Ironwood housing project with City
Manager Schrock. Schrock indicated the project was still under construction so units have not
been rented out yet. Schrock provided the committee with project sheets for the Ironwood
housing project so the committee had accurate information if they receive future inquiries.
The committee briefly discussed the possibility of contributing funding for the renovation of
the building located at 212 North Market Street with city staff. McReynolds indicated the
owner of the property does not want to take the matter to the committee at this time. Dalbey
tabled the item until such time that further discussion or action is needed. Schrock
recommended the committee verify the party asking for assistance qualifies for grant program
assistance before providing financial support.
Miller reported on the claims lists. It was moved by Caligiuri, seconded by Adams to approve
the July and August claims lists for payment. Motion carried unanimously.
Miller reviewed the accounting report with the committee.
The meeting adjourned at 1:00 p.m.

Meeting Date: November 5, 2015
Requested By: City Clerk/Finance
Item Title:
Consider approval of payment of release fees for outstanding FHLB forgivable loans.
Explanation:
FHLB Rehabilitation Forgivable (FHLB Rehab) loans were issued from August 2001
through December 2008; these loans provided up to $5,000 to assist with repairs to
make homes safer or more energy efficient. Loans were forgiven after the homeowner
had lived in the property for five years.
In 2012, eighty-six letters requesting payment of the lien release fee were sent out to
property owners who had FHLB forgivable loans that met all requirements of the loan.
There currently are only fourteen outstanding FHLB forgivable loans remaining. The
date of available release for these loans range from September 2006 through
December 2013. Letters requesting the release fee were sent again April 2015. No
response to the letters has been received from any of the outstanding loans.
Staff is requesting $98.00 (14 liens x $7 per release) to pay the Mahaska County
Recorder’s office to release these completed loans. Due to the nature of the loan, most
property owners forget about the loan until they go to sell or transfer the property.
This usually makes an emergency situation that needs to be resolved before the sale of
the property, causing stress for the property owner and real estate agents, as well as
office staff. Release of these liens will also allow staff to consolidate files and move
them to electronic storage.

Item Title:
Consider a motion to amend the First Time Homebuyers and Demolition program plans
to change the language regarding processing fees and approve an increase in the
processing fee from $75.00 to $100.00.
Explanation:
Staff is requesting changes to the First Time Homebuyers and Demolition program plans
processing fee associated with the loans/grants. Currently the processing fee for all
plans is $75.00 and property owners are also responsible for paying for any recording or
release fees associated with the loan/grant. These fees are paid to the city, and the city
pays the Mahaska County Recorder’s office for any recording completed.
The change in the language for the First Time Homebuyer plan will say:
“Participants shall be required to pay a loan-processing fee as approved by Resolution by the
Oskaloosa City Council on the fee schedule.”
The change in the language for the Demolition I and II plans will say:
“Grant recipients shall be required to pay a processing fee as approved by Resolution by the
Oskaloosa City Council on the fee schedule.”
Staff is proposing to change the processing fee for all plans to $100.00 and drop the
collection of recording and release fees associated with these loans. The fee will be
approved by Resolution by the Oskaloosa City Council each year as part of the city’s fee
schedule. Future changes in the processing fee will require approval by the OHTF prior
to presentation to the city council.
If approved by the Oskaloosa Housing Trust Fund, changes to the program plans require
city council approval and will be presented at the December 7, 2015 meeting. The
proposed changes will be effective January 1, 2016.
Budget Consideration:
The increase of $25.00 for the processing fee will be used to cover the expense of the
recording and release fees, approximately $14.00 per loan (subject to change by the
Mahaska County Recorder’s office). The processing fee was last amended from $50.00
to $75.00 November 2006.

CITY OF OSKALOOSA HOUSING TRUST FUND
FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER LOAN FUND PLAN
A. GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE FUND
The Oskaloosa Housing Trust Fund (OHTF) will utilize its City of Oskaloosa First-time Home Buyer Loan Fund
in an effort to promote home ownership within the City of Oskaloosa. To accomplish this goal of increasing
home ownership, the OHTF shall continue the successful down payment and closing cost assistance program.
The down payment assistance shall be in the form of no interest loans.
B. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
Eligible cost included within approved loans shall consist only of the following:
1. Down payment on the purchase of the home
2. Payment of closing costs on first mortgage loan
C. ELIGIBLE PROPERTY
An eligible property shall be any single-family residence located within the corporate limits of the City of
Oskaloosa, Iowa. Homes purchased can be either newly constructed or existing housing (including
manufactured and modular housing, although purchase of manufactured housing constructed prior to 1974
will not be permitted).
D. ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANT
An eligible participant shall be an applicant who:
1. Has not had interest in a residential property (ownership of a property for the purpose of

ways within the past three years prior to making application:
a. Fee title ownership;
b. Fee title ownership subject to mortgage; or
c. A party to a contract for purchase of residential real estate.
d. A party to a divorce proceeding who utilized these funds will be eligible if the previously owned property
was sold or deeded to the spouse in the settlement agreement.
And;
2. Has a total household income not exceeding USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Program
Income Limits as defined annually by the United States Department of Agriculture. (see Exhibit 1 for
current maximum household incomes for Mahaska County residents). IFA grant funds awarded to
capitalize the loan fund require lower maximum incomes than previously stated. Applications that do not
qualify under the lower income guidelines shall be funded from recaptured loan repayments.
And;

balance(s) from previous OHTF program use whether or not the debt was due to foreclosure or any other
action.

be the lesser of:
a. Ten years

3. One dollar of match from the applicant is required for every dollar of loan. Match may be from any legal
source but can not be in the form of a loan secured against the property to be acquired unless the lender is
willing to take a third position behind the City's loan and the first mortgage loan. Match dollars may be
included in the first mortgage loan. Borrowers qualifying for other down payment assistance programs are
expected to utilize those programs and resort to this program as a last resort. Loans shall be secured
against the property to be purchased and will carry a lien position in relation to the dollar amount of the
other lender's loan(s) involved in the purchase of the home (see Exhibit 4 for sample mortgage).

loan closing for all borrowers that fit the definition of a first-time buyer as defined in paragraph D.1., above.

authorized to approve applicants, the Department Head and Program Manager (the OHTF Chair, Vice-Chair
or City Manager may approve payment in the absence of either the Department Head or Program Manager)
shall be authorized to approve payment for the OHTF for all eligible applicants.
I. PARTICIPATING LENDERS
A participating lender will be required to enter into a participation agreement (see Exhibit 3) with the City
of Oskaloosa and pay a participation fee of a minimum of $5,000. Lender participation fees will help
capitalize the loan fund. The lender participation fee shall be waived for governmental first mortgage
lenders.

Item Title:
Discussion of demolition loan for 714 North C Street.
Explanation:
Gregory Meyer was approved by the Oskaloosa Housing Trust Fund Committee for a
demolition loan on July 18, 2013. The demolition and payment of demolition loan of
$4,000 was completed in October 2013. The demolition program plan states a
structure of equal or greater assessed value to the building demolished must be built
on the property within two years of dispersal of the grant funds.
Mr. Meyer removed the house at 714 North C Street and combined the lots for 714
North C Street and 718 North C Street (Mr. Meyer’s primary residence). The demolition
application stated an addition (laundry room and garage) to the house located at 718
North C Street would be the structure replacing the building on 714 North C Street, and
this plan was approved by the Oskaloosa Housing Trust Fund Committee.
Per the Mahaska County Assessor, Lindsey Thomas, the addition to the home at 718
North C Street was only partially complete for the 2015 assessment. Assessments do
not recalculate until January 1, 2016, and the final value will be released on April 1,
2016. The value change between 2014 and 2015 was $2,790.00; Mr. Meyer must
complete improvements exceeding $6,770 to be in compliance with the demolition
program plan.
The last city inspection for this property was July 2014 for the footings of the addition.
The property located at 714 North C Street was combined with 718 North C Street for
the 2014 assessments.
Budget Consideration:
If the addition to the property meets the demolition plan guidelines, a $7.00 release fee
will need to be collected to release the lien on the property.
If the addition to the property does not meet the demolition plan guidelines, the full
amount of the loan plus interest would be amortized over a 12-month period.
