ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION Other Ordinances and Resolutions Subordination agreement for Schafer-Richardson Peterson stated the EDA just finished discussing this item. Fehst stated this was acted on by the EDA prior to this meeting. He indicated that Stevl -14 _:1, Kennedy and Graven, indicated that banks, for City Council Minutes July 10, 2006 Page II of 13 such projects, typically request this type of agreement. Fehst read from the contract, which verifies that the City and EDA hold no mortgages on the property and that the owners assign rights for TIF. The developer is seeking a second loan for development of the property. This raises no concerns for the EDA or the City. Nawrocki stated that the city will have an obligation of almost $8,000,000 and it has language that it could go higher. The developer's bank would require, ifthere was a default, to get first call on the TIF money and the city would have to wait until the bank gets its money. We should not give up the right to the continuing money to pay for the project. Fehst indicated this just restates what is in the original agreement. Nawrocki stated this is a new bank.

F ehst stated he also received a call from her and will return the call. Peterson stated that he also received a call and passed it on to the Public Works Department to research why the outages keep occurring in this area.

Nawrocki stated his disappointment that the corrections he suggested for the Activity Center brochure were not included on the front page. He indicated that we have a community center in Murzyn Hall. This is for the consideration of gym space. The brochure should have been more complete, as more residents will receive this than would attend meetings for the information. Fehst indicated we do not have a speculation on costs yet. The best guess of the School District is $5.2 million of which they would ask for participation of $1.6 million. . Budget meetings with department heads are on going. Nawrocki questioned the anticipated tax increase. Fehst stated it is too early to give that information.

Johnso DATE July 19, 2006 BACKGROUND During the past three months, the Police Department took part in the statewide Safe and Sober program. This program involved putting officers on our streets on overtime, enforcing driving-while-intoxicated laws and use of seatbelts. In July, we were reimbursed by the State of Minnesota for the overtime expended. This was in the amount of $2,701.21. The money was originally paid out of our 2006 overtime budget and we would like to reimburse these funds. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION Since the overtime dollars used to participate in this program are initially paid out of our 2006 police budget and according to the Finance Director, the funds received from the State to repay this expenditure are initially considered revenue, they must be placed in the General Fund. The Police Department would like to see these funds moved back into our 2006 Police Department budget line #1020, overtime, from the General Fund. This will assist us in continuing to take part in this program. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to transfer $2,701.21, the total amount of money received from the State of Minnesota for our efforts in Safe and Sober program, from the General Fund to the Police Department 2006 budget line #1020 overtime.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER eetmg 0: u y , AGENDA SECTION: Consent Agenda ORIGINA TING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: S~ - A - ~ Community Development APPROV AL ITEM: Adopt Resolution 2006-94, a Resolution BY: Kirsten Partenheimer <c,ti~ BY~ IdentifYing the Need for Livable Communities DATE: July 18,2006 Demonstration Account Funding and Authorizing an Application for Grant Funds. M f J I 24 2006 Back2'round: The purpose of this memorandum is to request authorization from the City Council to apply for a Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCD A) grant to help fund the construction of a parking ramp as part of the Grand Central Lofts commercial redevelopment. The City of Columbia Heights is a participant in the Livable Communities Act Housing Incentives Program for 2006 as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is therefore eligible to make application for funds under the Livable Communities Demonstration Account. The application requests $974,369 out of a total cost of$2,919,884 to build the 230-stall ramp. Due to the number of applications and limited funding, the grant funding committee has historically not funded the entire cost for parking ramps. To help revitalize the commercial comer at 47th and Central A venues, the developer proposes to build 47,698 square feet of commercial space, which will include a restaurant, retail and office space. On July 10, the EDA reviewed this proposal and directed staff to apply for the grant funds. The Met Council will notifY all applicants in early fall if they have received funding. Recommendation: Staff recommends approving the application for a Demonstration Grant through the Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities Demonstration Account Program. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2006-94 there being ample copies available to the public. Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution 2006-94, a Resolution IdentifYing the Need for Livable Communities Demonstration Account Funding and Authorizing an Application for Grant Funds. Attachments' Resolution 2006-94 COUNCIL ACTION: -38- 2006 RESOLUTION - SINGLE PROJECT RESOLUTION NO. 2006-94 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR LIVABLE COMMUNITIES DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDING AND AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS WHEREAS the City of Columbia Heights is a participant in the Livable Communities Act's Housing Incentives Program for 2006 as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is therefore eligible to apply for Livable Communities Demonstration Account funds; and WHEREAS the City has identified a proposed project within the City that meets the Demonstration Account's purposes and criteria and is consistent with and promotes the purposes of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the Metropolitan Council's adopted metropolitan development guide; and WHEREAS the City has the institutional, managerial and financial capability to ensure adequate project administration; and WHEREAS the City certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations as stated in the grant agreement; and WHEREAS the City agrees to act as legal sponsor for the project contained in the grant application submitted on 17 July, 2006; and WHEREAS the City acknowledges Livable Communities Demonstration Account grants are intended to fund projects or project components that can serve as models, examples or prototypes for development or redevelopment projects elsewhere in the region, and therefore represents that the proposed project or key components of the proposed project can be replicated in other metropolitan-area communities; and WHEREAS only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and the Metropolitan Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant funds only to eligible projects that would not occur without the availability of Demonstration Account grant funding. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, after appropriate examination and due consideration, the governing body of the City: 1. Finds that it is in the best interests of the City's development goals and priorities for the proposed project to occur at this particular site and at this particular time. -39- 2. Finds that the project component(s) for which Livable Communities Demonstration Account funding is sought: (a) will not occur solely through private or other public investment within the reasonably foreseeable future; and (b) will not occur within two years after a grant award unless Livable Communities Demonstration Account funding is made available for this project at this time. 3. Represents that the City has undertaken reasonable and good faith efforts to procure funding for the project component for which Livable Communities Demonstration Account funding is sought, but was not able to find or secure from other sources funding that is necessary for project component completion within two years and states that this representation is based on the following reasons and supporting facts, being that the City's EDA and HRA levies are fully pledged to existing redevelopment and housing activities and that the Community Development Block Grant dollars are not available to fund parking ramps. 4. Authorizes its City Manager to submit on behalf of the City an application for Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant funds for the project component(s) identified in the application, and to execute such agreements as may be necessary to implement the project on behalf of the City.
