Each year each metropolitan community <br /> must decide whether or not to continue in the program. Each community must annually pass a <br /> resolution in support of the program. Each city must also demonstrate that they have spent on <br /> affordable housing initiatives an amount equal to or greater than the Affordable and Life Cycle <br /> Housing Amount (ALHOA) calculated by the Metropolitan Council each year. If a City does not <br /> spend an amount equal to ALHOA it must submit that amount to the Metropolitan Council or a <br /> local housing authority. Mounds View's ALHOA is $0 because we meet Metropolitan Council <br /> benchmarks for affordable housing. <br /> Participation in the program allows the City access to funding accounts set up by the <br /> Metropolitan Council. These include the Tax Base Revitalization Account, Livable Communities <br /> Demonstration Program, the Local Housing Incentives Account and Local Planning Assistance <br /> Grants and Loans. Mounds View and the North Metro 35W Coalition have received grants <br /> through participation in this program. <br /> Attached is Resolution No. 5395 supporting the Livable Communities Act and stating that the <br /> City of Mounds View will continue to participate in the program. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 5395 supporting the Livable <br /> Communities Act and stating that the City of Mounds View will continue to participate in the <br /> program. <br /> Rick Jopke, Community Development Director <br /> N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\CITYCOUN\CC-REP\121399 LCA report.doc <br />
