Office of the Executive Director 286 Court House 15 W. Kellogg Blvd. Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 (612) 2985980 Terry Schutten, Executive Director December 21, 1987 Joe Chlebeck City Clerk - Little Canada 515 East Little Canada Road Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 Dear Joe: County Commissioners Diane Ahrens John T. Finley Ruby Hunt Duane W. McCarty Hal Norgard Donald E. Salverda Warren W. Schaber Ramsey County is now prepared to accept new applications for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Our deadline for receipt of these applications is Friday, March 11, 1988. Enclosed please find an application form and a copy of the guidelines which we have been using for this program. We encourage you to review your needs and determine if this resource might be appropriate for you. There continue to be three National Objectives as noted in the guidelines which can be funded with this program. Preference, however, must be given to those projects which meet the National Objective related to low and moderate income persons. Public services and housing activities are the most common areas in which this objective is found. This preference is based upon the regulations which require the County to spend a minimum of 51% of its funds over a three year period for this objective. To date, we have not met the objective. In the past many of you have expressed a need to have a lengthier period of time in which to prepare your applications. For this reason we are sending you the materials now for our March review. If you have questions or need assistance please do not hesitate to contact Judy Karon at 292 -6461. She will be happy to help you in any way she can. Sincerely, Terry B. Schut3�en County Executive Director TBS /gb Enclosures Page 34
