One of the many functions of this <br />group includes the promotion of a Crime-Free Multi-Housing Certification for individual properties; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS. properties receive Crime-Free Certification when they have completed three <br />specific phases including; 1) training, 2) crime prevention modifications to the building and grounds, <br />and 3) a block club or complex party; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the 2nd phase of the certification process often requires specific improvements to <br />the building and grounds, which are sometimes expensive and delays the property from achieving the <br />Crime-Free Certification. The grant would be used to offset the financial burden incurred by multi- <br />family properties during the 2nd phase improvements; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, to date, only four properties have completed all three phases of Crime-Free Multi- <br />Housing Certification within Mounds View and New Brighton. One of those properties is located in <br />Mounds View; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, It is intended that assistance be provided to multi-family property owners for the <br />purposes of achieving Crime-Free Certification without causing rent increases onto low-moderate <br />income tenants of the properties as part of making required improvements. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Economic Development <br />Authority hereby recommends application to Ramsey County for a Community Development Block <br />Grant for $25,000 to provide financial assistance to multi-family properties for the purpose of <br />offsetting infrastructure expenses incurred in the process of achieving Crime-Free Multi-Housing <br />Certification. <br /> <br />Adopted this 8th day of February, 1999. <br /> <br /> <br />~1 ./' <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br /> <br />Executive Director <br />
