At 8:21 p.m., Mayor Pickar opened the public hearing on the Community
Development and Housing needs.
Mayor Pickar stated that this was the second required public hearing
on the grant application for the community development and housing
needs.
AdministratorAchen stated that the Staff has prepared rough estimates
of the cost for a storm drainage plan. The project cost per one -half
acre residential lot was based on the assumption that multiple and
commercial property will be assessed at twice the rate and heavy
commercial property at three times the rate. The HUD grant is to pro-
vide benefit to low and moderate income families. The east side of
Mounds View has a higher percentage of these families and would score
the best in obtaining these funds. He then reviewed the proposed areas
of the drainage improvement. The City has received a commitment for
LAUCONJ money for the acquisition of additional land to Silver View
Park, which is in the same area as the storm water drainage basin.
The second priority was on park improvements. The staff has reviewed
last years project which most of the work hasn't been done yet, and
recommends that those improvements be focused on and include enough
money to construct the shelter buildings. The preliminary application
must be submitted by February 18. After submission of the applications,
HUD ranks them and picks the ones to submit final applications. The
City could then decide if they want to proceed.
Mayor Pickar stated that the priorities would be to acquire land for
a storm sewer program and secondly for park improvements. He explained
that Mounds View is eligible to apply for thi s grant based on what
it has, not on what it will do in the future.
