Staff has recently been working with the <br /> communities of Blaine,Fridley and New Brighton to jointly promote a Home and Garden Fair. The fair <br /> will be known as the"North Metro Home and Garden Fair"and be held at the new Mounds View <br /> Community Center on February 27, 1999. The Fair will not only promote housing rehabilitation within the <br /> City, but also promote the new Community Center. By combining resources with several neighboring <br /> communities, the participating cities anticipate providing resources for promoting housing rehabilitation <br /> . for the residents of each community. In addition,sharing resources will minimize staff time for organizing <br /> the Fair and be much more cost effective. The organizing committee has decided to have each community <br /> contribute$2,000 to fund the Fair. The City's share will come from the previously allocated TIF funds to <br /> develop a Home and Garden Fair. The Fridley HRA has agreed to act as the Fiscal Agent. Because there <br /> are several communities involved in contributing funding to the Fair, it was determined that an agreement <br /> between the Fridley HRA(the fiscal agent)and each community was necessary. <br /> RECCOMENDATION <br /> Approve Resolution 98-EDA-100 approving the Agreement between the Mounds View EDA and the <br /> cities of Blaine,Fridley and New Brighton for the purposes of promoting the North Metro Home and <br /> Garden Fair. <br /> -was <br /> Steve Dorgan, . ,_ Inspector <br /> 717-4023 <br /> Attachments: 1)Resolution 98-EDA-100 <br /> 2) Agreement between Mounds View EDA and Fridley HRA <br /> • <br />
