However, the County plans to minimize displacement in the following ways: 1. No acquisition program is planned or necessary at the present time. 2. No displacement has occurred under any previous County housing rehabilitation program. If displacement should occur under any future housing program it will be dealt with in the following manner: A. Permanent Displacement Definition -Any person permanently and involuntarily displaced will be subject to the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended. The term displaced persons means any person (family, individual, business, non-profit organization, or farm) that moves from real property or moves personal property from real property as a direct result of rehabilitation, demolition, or acquisition for a Small Cities Development Program project. Actions to be taken to minimize displacement include: Informing tenants that they may be entitled to relocation payments and other assistance under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (URA). Informing tenants that they may be entitled to additional payments above the URA payment in compliance with requirements of section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. If rehabilitation activities raise the market rent (including utility costs) above the applicable fair market rent established by HUD's Section 8 existing housing program, then the unit must be replaced and low or moderate income tenants are entitled to additional payments in compliance with section 104(d). The County will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low-to-moderate income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low-to-moderate income housing as a direct result of activities assessed with funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, as described in 24 CFR 570.49a(b). All replacement housing will be provided within three years of the commencement of the demolition of rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the County will make public and submit to the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development the following information in writing: 1. A description of the proposed assisted activity; 0 Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners J~ly 3, 1991 Page 6 2.

A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversions1 4. The general location on map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units; 5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units; and 6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low-to- moderate income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy. The County may request the Minnesota Department of Trade 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-to- moderate income dwelling units in standard condition. Exceptions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as described in 24 CFR 570.496a(iii). B. Relocation The County will provide relocation assistance, as described in Section 570.496a(b), to each low-to-moderate income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low-to-moderate income dwelling to another use as a direct result of assisted activities. Displaced low-to-moderate income persons may choose assistance under the Uniform Relocation Act or moving costs and an available Section 8 housing voucher/certificate or moving costs and a housing assistance payment so that rent and utilities do not exceed 30% of household income for a period of 5 years. c. Temporary Displacement Definition -Temporary displacement occurs when people move out of their dwelling, business, or property for a short period of time due to activities of the Small Cities development Program. Temporary displacement most frequently occurs with housing and commercial rehabilitation projects. Actions to be taken to minimize displacement include: Planning utility shut-offs for times most convenient to residents. Providing information and referrals services to individuals who must temporarily leave their homes. Stage rehabilitation of housing to allow occupants to remain during and after rehabilitation. () Schedule public facility construction and equipment storage to be completed as quickly as possible and at times most convenient to residents. 0 a Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners July 3, 1991 Page 7 BE IT RESOLVED, that the Otter Tail County Board hereby adopts the Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan for Otter Tail County.
