RAMSEY COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />JANICE RETTMAN <br />County Commissioner <br />District 3 ®~~ ~ ~ 2003 <br />TO: Ramsey County Mayors and City Co it Members <br />FROM: Commissioner Janice Rettman <br />DATE:. December 11, 2003 <br />~: Suburban HRA Levy <br />On December 2, 2003 the Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority voted <br />7-0 to table the proposed suburban HRA levy for at least 2004. This means that there will <br />not be an HRA levy in next year.. Of the comments we received, eight municipalities <br />• were opposed to the levy for a variety of reasons and tl-iree indicated support. However,. <br />several municipalities expressed a willingness to continue discussions on how the <br />Ramsey County HRA may assist them more fully. The North Metro I-35VV Corridor <br />Coalition did nog support the-levy butalso recommended continued discussion to try to <br />achieve a consensus on how to meet housing needs. <br />For its part, the HRA Board agreed to continue to work with the County's 18 suburban <br />communities to determine whether or not a levy to support local housing initiatives has <br />merit and, if so, what the guidelines might be. I will contact you in January about future <br />meetings and will keep you informed as we proceed in our discussions. <br />nn behalf of all of the commissioners I want .tn thank you fo?• yo„r input and I lnok <br />forward to working with you on this and other issues. <br />Cc: Ramsey County Commissioners. <br />651/266-8360 <br />Minnesota's First Home Rule County <br />printed on recycled paper <br />®« <br />
