COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 26, 1998 <br />Bob Nelson, 6733 East Shadow Lake Drive, came forward with questions regarding the new <br />Civic Center. He stated that last winter he had inquired at City Hall about the marked trees in a <br />large area that had many, many trees. He said that the City had told him the trees were marked to <br />track the health of the trees. Mr. Nelson stated that now all of the marked trees have been cut <br />down. <br />Mayor Sullivan stated that the location chosen for the Civic Complex best maximized the use of <br />land and caused the lease amount of trees to be cut down. <br />Mr. Wessel added that the Civic Complex was in that location to save the largest amount of trees <br />possible. He said that the City worked with many agencies in choosing that site, including <br />Anoka County, Rice Creek Watershed, and the DNR. Mr. Wessel stated that he would go over <br />the entire process with Mr. Nelson if he wished. <br />Mr. Nelson stated there is a very large cherry tree close to the edge of the cutting line. He hopes <br />the City will try to save it. Mr. Wessel stated that all logging has been completed. The trees that <br />remain will not be cut down. <br />FINANCE DEPARTMENT REPORT, MARY VASKE <br />Opportunity for Communities to Withdraw from 1999-2001 Community Development <br />Block Grant and HOME Programs - Ms. Vaske stated that Anoka County has been notified by <br />HUD that it is time for a new three year cycle of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) <br />and HOME Programs. HUD requires that the County give the communities an opportunity to <br />"opt -out" of the programs at the beginning of each three (3) year cycle. A community's decision <br />to withdraw from the program reduces the County's CDBG population count and entitlement <br />amount and technically is effective for three (3) years, until June 30, 2002. Anoka County can <br />exercise the option to invite a community that has "opted -out" of the program to participate in <br />the second or third year. <br />All the communities executed Joint Cooperation Agreements for 1987 that will automatically <br />renew and continue in effect so long as there is a CDBG Program and they do not elect to <br />withdraw. This agreement has been amended to include the HOME Program. If the City <br />chooses to remain included in the Urban County, the City is notified of the following: <br />1. The City is ineligible to apply for grants under the HUD -Administered Small <br />Cities or State CDBG programs while part of the Urban County. <br />2. The City can only participate in the HOME Program through the Urban County. <br />Ms. Vaske recommended the City continue participation in the Community Development Block <br />Grant and Home Program. <br />2 <br />
