The concern of the City of Mounds View is to continue to provide <br /> a wide variety of housing choices for our residents without losing the quality of the housing stock. <br /> Since the majority of housing in Mounds View was built in the 1950's, we are beginning to face an <br /> aging housing stock. It is an issue that must be addressed now to prevent future problems. <br /> When determining funding sources, we would Ince to see the Metropolitan Council provide <br /> funding for preserving the housing stock as well as providing affordable housing. With an aging <br /> housing stock, it is crucial to maintain the livability of the homes. We must provide affordable <br /> housing that is safe, decent and sanitary. If homes are affordable but not safe, decent and <br /> sanitary, we will face a Iarger problem in the future. <br /> The City of Mounds View is delighted to participate in the Livable Communities Act for 1997 and <br /> we hope that our recommendations for preset ving the current housing stock are given serious <br /> consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW <br /> • <br /> Jennifer B- gman <br /> E�9using Inspector <br /> WIT <br /> SCYINK 2401 Highway 10• Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 <br /> n <br />
