2. Public Hearing
This public hearing has been called for the purpose of considering activities to
be undertaken in 1982 under the Community Development Block Grant Program.
The Council had previously approved a list of eight activities to be given consid-
eration in the Community Development Block Grant Program. The City Manager recom-
mended activities four and seven, which speak to acquisition of additional property
in the Downtown Development area for parking. Councilman Norberg felt another use
for these funds should be costs involved with the Fifth Street Improvement Project.
HRA Director, Roger Jensen, advised the Council they have until February 15th to
select the activities. He suggested that the 1981 and 1982 CDBG funds be added to-
gether if activity four and activity seven are selected. He felt the total from
both years would be necessary to accomplish property acquisition and resurfacing of
the Voss parking lot.
Motion by Norberg to continue the hearing until after the Council has made a deci-
sion on the rehabilitation of Fifth Street. Motion dies for lack of a second.
Motion by Hentges, second by Petkoff to concur with the staff recommendation that
the application for the Community Development Block Grant for 1982 list activity
four, Acquisition/Demolition of a Deteriorating Structure or Structures in the
Downtown Redevelopment District, and activity seven, Improvements to Newly Acquired
Municipal Parking Lot, as the priority activities and that the Mayor and City Mana-
ger be authorized to enter into an agreement to accomplish same.
Motion to amend by Norberg to include as a priority item, activity five, Rehabili-
tation of Fifth Street. Motion dies for lack of a second.
