;11 Phone: (612) 784-3055 u�Uv Fax: (612) 784-3462 • May 17, 1991 Thomas M. Scott - Director, CURA • Professor, Political Science University of Minnesota Dear Mr. Scott: Please allow this letter to serve as affirmation of the City of Mounds Views ' interest in the internship program offered through the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs and the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs . The City of MoundsViewis a mature suburban community with single family housing dominating the existing land-use pattern. The majority of this housing stock is pre-1960 and in need of some form of rehabilitation. At this time, the City is in the preliminary stages of organizing a housing rehabilitation program. We are requesting an intern to assist myself and other departments within the City in the implementation of this program. Major responsibilities and duties of the intern would include, but not be limited to, the following: aid in a comprehensive housing stock inventory including age of structure, present condition and location; Cataloging of all collected information related to housing stock for future--use in spread sheet form; Familiarizationwithcurrent rehabilitation programs available in other communities and their applicability to the City of Mounds View; and coordination of City program with appropriate State and County governmental agencies . The profits derived by the City in this program would be tremendous: Mounds View, at present, has a rather limited staff. - Consequently, projects which require the devotion of a large amount of time often are unable to be completed without adverse • effects on other office duties . By providing an intern with proper direction, a major project can be completed while at the • same time not compromiseoffice responsibilities by taking away a staff member for extended periods of time. .6 PRINTED WITH INK- 2401 Highway 10 • Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 ?elCRr<9
