52 <br />COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 22, 1993 <br />Block 4, Lakes Addition No. 2. Council Member Elliott seconded <br />the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />CONSIDERATION OF ALLOCATING THE 1993 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK <br />GRANT FUNDS <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that a public hearing on this matter was <br />conducted at the February 8, 1993 City Council meeting and <br />several presentations were made by various organizations <br />requesting a portion of the CDBG funds. Resolution No. 08 - 93 <br />was placed in the City Council packets. This resolution outlined <br />a possible division of the total amount of CDGB funds available <br />for 1993/1994. Mr. Schumacher noted that the Senior Program is <br />growing each year. He has indicated that $10,000.00 is needed to <br />continue the program at its current level. He explained that <br />$5,000.00 has been indicated for the Surface Water Management <br />Program. If any amount less than this is provided, the Program <br />will be under funded. Mr. Schumacher explained the request for <br />funding for the City's disabled recreation program. He noted <br />that the full amount of that request is needed. The only places <br />to amend the resolution appear to be in the funding for for <br />Alexandra House, RISE, Inc. and ACCAP. Mr. Schumacher noted that <br />the CHAPS Store has dropped its request for funding until they <br />can become a registered non-profit organization. <br />It was noted that Alexandra House is located near Lino Lakes and <br />it appears that a new shelter will be constructed somewhere in <br />Anoka County, but more centrally located. Cynthia Hendricks, <br />ACCAP explained that Pat Prinzevalle, Executive Director of <br />Alexandra House had been in the audience earlier this evening but <br />had left to attend another meeting. Ms. Hendricks attempted to <br />answer City Council questions regarding Alexandra House. She <br />explained that the shelter will be located in Coon Rapids near <br />its border with the City of Blaine. The site has been selected <br />by the Board of Directors of Alexandra House. Some critera used <br />in the site selection included safety, security and centralized <br />location. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked about the level of support from <br />other Anoka County communities. Ms. Hendricks explained that it <br />varies according to each community. Every community has been <br />approached but response has depended upon the number of issues <br />facing each city council. In addition, Alexandra House is <br />counting on foundation support in completing the project. <br />Council Member Neal asked who owns the land where the current <br />shelter is located and where will the proceeds go. Ms. Hendricks <br />explained that the proceeds from the sale of the land will go to <br />PAGE 14 <br />1 <br />
