RULES OF CIVILITY FOR THE CITY COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND OUR COMMUNITY
Following are rules of civility the City of Maplewood expects of everyone appearing at Council Meetings -
elected officials, staff and citizens. It is hoped that by following these simple rules, everyone's opinions can be
heard and understood in a reasonable manner. We appreciate the fact that when appearing at Council
meetings, it is understood that everyone will follow these principles:
Speak only for yourself, not for other council members or citizens - unless specifically tasked by your
colleagues to speak for the group or for citizens in the form of a petition.
Show respect during comments and/or discussions, listen actively and do not interrupt or talk amongst each
other.
Be respectful of the process, keeping order and decorum. Do not be critical of council members, staff or others
in public.
Be respectful of each other's time keeping remarks brief, to the point and non -repetitive.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Melinda Coleman, City Manager
FROM: DuWayne Konewko, EEDD Director
Chris Swanson, Environmental and City Code Specialist
DATE: January 22, 2018
SUBJECT: Discussion Regarding City Property Located at 2494 Harvester
Introduction and Backaround
The City closed on the property located at 2494 Harvester Avenue on November 27, 2017. Since
closing, all debris has been removed from the exterior of the property and a contractor removed all
items from the home on the property. The property is currently boarded -up, winterized and all utilities
have been shut-off.
Staff met with representatives from two non -profits, Habitat for Humanity and Journey Home USA, at
the site to explore future collaboration opportunities. Habitat for Humanity does not have an interest
in refurbishing the existing home. However, if the existing home was removed and the property was
donated, Habitat for Humanity would have an interest in partnering with the City on constructing a
new home.
Journey Home USA, a non-profit that provides affordable housing to veterans, would renovate the
existing home and invest upwards of $110,000 for improvements. Like Habitat for Humanity, Journey
Home USA would prefer that the home is donated outright to their organization but would be willing
to partner with the City to remodel the existing home. With this partnership, once the sale of the
remodeled home is complete, Journey Home USA will provide a percent of the revenue to the City.
Staff is proposing the following options below for council discussion:
1. Solicit Request for Proposals (RFPs) for the property in-house. At a minimum the proposals
would require; purchase price, renderings or drawings illustrating plans for the dwelling,
timeline for project completion, owner -occupied vs. rental, references, and qualifications
(review by City Building Official). Under this option, Council would have the authority to reject
any and all proposals.
2. Work directly with an area realtor to market and sell the property as is.
3. Continue discussions with the non-profit organizations.
Budaet Impact
None.
Recommendation
No formal Council action is required.
