COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT • Replacement Housing Program: We will be closing on our first house(8265 Spring Lake Road)for the Housing Replacement program on Monday, August 26. Cathy Rocklitz,paralegal from Kennedy& Graven, will be present to assist us. The environmental survey was returned indicating a presence of asbestos in the bathroom; however, not enough to warrant special removal. We hope to find a contractor for demolition within a couple of weeks and begin construction before winter. • Registration of Multi-Family Units: For 1996, we have changed our multi-family registration process. We are asking that all units pass inspection, fees are paid and registration information is submitted prior to licensing the property. Owners will not be sent a Certificate of Registration until all three items have been fulfilled. The inspections are almost completed and Barb is busy sending notices to pay fees and registration information. • 35W Corridor: Pam Sheldon attended a meeting of the 35W Corridor Coalition, where the cities participating discussed submitting a grant application to the Metropolitan Council under the Livable Communities Demonstration Account. The major issues which would be addressed would include Employment and Economic Development, Housing Opportunities and Issues, Transportation, and Information Systems. Each city was assigned a section of the grant to write. We have prepared a draft of the housing section. The next meeting will be on August 26, 1996. • Code Enforcement (in the interim): While we are short-staffed, Jennifer Bergman, our housing inspector,will be helping with code enforcement calls. • Recruitment for Planning Associate: Advertisements have been placed in the newspaper for the Planning Associate position, and the recruitment period will end on August 30.
