Both of these funds come to the County from the U.S. <br /> Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The County must follow the statutory <br /> goals set by HUD when distributing CDBG/HOME funds. The statutory goals are as follows: provide <br /> decent housingID , provide a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities. <br /> Therefore, Ramsey County developed a list of eligible activities and would like each suburban <br /> community to rank the top five activities as it relates to each municipality and to the County as a <br /> whole. The results will be tabulated to determine which application activities will have priority <br /> funding in 1996. <br /> The priority rankings are due to Ramsey County by Friday, January 12, 1996. Therefore, the <br /> Council is asked to review, make changes to and approve a list of priority activities. Jennifer <br /> Bergman and I have developed a draft ranking (Attachment A) for your convenience based on the <br /> goals of the Council for housing and economic development for the City of Mounds View. In <br /> addition, I have included a copy of the priorities set by Mounds View in 1995 (Attachment B) and <br /> Ramsey County's approved priorities in 1995 (Attachment C) for your information. Also attached <br /> is a draft resolution approving the ranking of the priorities set by Mounds View to be forwarded to <br /> Ramsey County along with the list. <br /> The City has requested an application for funds for 1996 and will be bringing draft application(s) to <br /> Council for review at the February 5th work session. Completed applications for 1996 funds are <br /> due to Ramsey County on February 16th. <br /> I -V <br /> Cathy Benn• , conomic Development Coordinator <br /> III <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Waive the reading of Resolution No.4884 and approve/disapprove the attached priorities for <br /> distribution of Ramsey County CDBG/HOME Funds for 1996 <br />
