• Samantha, Jennifer and I had a meeting with Dave Stewart, a representative from <br /> Woodlawn Terrace, regarding the CDBG application for general improvements, <br /> parking facilities and playground equipment . They are also trying to secure <br /> MHFA financing of which they will use to come current on outstanding City water <br /> bills. They are interested in having the City's support for the project. We made it <br /> clear that the City is very supportive of improvements to multi-family housing units <br /> but would require that all back bills be paid. <br /> • Jennifer and I will be having a meeting with Ramsey County to discuss the <br /> application process and what types of projects they would keep under CDBG and <br /> what would they turn into a Home Loan. We will also be contacting a <br /> representative from the manufactured home parks to encourage them to apply for <br /> assistance for emergency shelters, playground facilities and other general <br /> infrastructure improvements. <br /> Housing Assistance Programs: <br /> • Jennifer and I met with Mark Malone of Western Bank to discuss options for <br /> home assistance programs in Mounds View. Jennifer has gather an enormous <br /> amount of information from several organizations and other Cities on resources <br /> for home assistance. We were able to find out what kinds of programs banks <br /> prefer to support and which programs have the most impact on a community. <br /> The findings will be discussed in Jennifer's draft housing report. <br /> Thanks to everyone at the City for being patient over the last couple month since I <br /> was going through major house stress. I'm happy to report that after several <br /> sleepless nights, we closed the week of Christmas!!!! Now I can be a regular human <br /> being again! <br /> Cathy <br /> FINANCE <br /> I will be happy when this week becomes "the week that was". Everyone in the finance <br /> department has quarterly and yearly reports in addition to the regular routine. <br /> Because we love to pack our lives full, Dorothy and I are throwing Christmas parties <br /> this weekend at our homes. Kitty and Scott are selling their home and are having <br /> their first "open house" on Sunday. She and Scott are going to have a busy and <br /> exciting year. WE wish them the best of luck and no headaches. <br />
