NEW BUSINESS SURVEY RESULTS - FNR TOP PRIORITIES Beth Thompson discussed the survey results with Forward New Richmond members. The top three priorities from the survey are as follows: 1. Affordable Housing 2. New Business and Technical Park 3. Downtown Revitalization With these top three priorities, Forward New Richmond will start discussing them in order with Affordable Housing on this agenda. AFFORDABLE HOUSING Powerpoint - Affordable Housing Forward New Richmond Committee Meeting October 16, 2024 Attached above, please find the Powerpoint presention for this section. Noah Wiedenfeld and Rae Ann Ailts were present to discuss the Affordable Housing Fund. Rae Ann started the discussion by giving an overview and description of TID (Tax Increment District). The City has, over the past three years, closed TID's 5, 8, and 6. With these closings the State allows municipalities to leave the districts open, one additional year, to collect the revenue and use towards Affordable Housing. Thus the City has created an Affordable Housing Fund that has approximately $1.4 million. With these funds, the City can create housing programs that use at least 75% towards low to moderate income folks. Discussion ensued. FNR members had highlighted several areas to be discussed at the November meeting. These items include, but are not limited to: 1. Revolving funds with low interest loans. 2. Live and own programs. 3. Smaller homes at affordable prices. 4. Renter to homeowner. Forward New Richmond members will assist in making program recommendations, for the Affordable Housing Funds, to the City Council and CDA. COMMUNICATION AND MISCELLANEOUS No items were discussed under Communication and Miscellaneous. ADJOURNMENT Mike Montello made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Kent Elkin seconded the motion. Carried unanimously.

Page 3 of 3 MEMO Prepared for: Forward New Richmond Staff Contact: Beth Thompson Meeting: Forward New Richmond Committee - 20 Nov 2024 Subject: Affordable Housing - FNR BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the October FNR meeting, staff provided an overview of funding sources for affordable housing efforts and potential programming initiatives for the funds. FNR members expressed a strong interest in developing three to four key programs to ensure New Richmond's community has attractive and affordable housing options. The main initiatives outlined during the meeting included: 1. Live and own programs 2. Smaller homes at affordable prices 3. Renter to homeowner programs Members emphasized that the programs should be revolving in nature, particularly focusing on low- interest loan opportunities. While grant funding may be necessary in some cases, the priority should not solely relay on it. To facilitate further discussions, FNR members requested data on ownership versus rental estimates which was compiled with the help of WCWRPC, currently conducting the Housing Study for St. Croix County. The findings were as follows:  Total Owner Units: 3,112  Total Renter Units: 1,879  Total Seasonal/Migrant Units: 19 (assuming no change from 2020) Furthermore, attached you will find Affordable Housing Fund information from Oshkosh, Fitchburg and Menasha who have had active housing funds for several years. As well as, Menomonie’s unique “Home Sweet Menomonie” program. Click here for additional information on that program. Also, attached you will find an article from the League of Municipalities on affordable housing. A discussion will be led by staff during Wednesday’s meeting to explore potential programming that aligns with the identified initiatives from the October meeting.
