RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR A COMMUNITY DEVELO~MENT BLOCK GRANT
FOR TOWNS EDGE TERRACE MANUFACTURED HOME PARK
WHEREAS, Towns Edge Terrace has submitted a Community Development
Block Grant application to construct a much needed storm shelter for its
residents; and
WHEREAS, on January 24, 1994, the city rejected Towns Edge

plan nor an appropriate shelter for the number of residents of the park;

Whereas, the park provides a home for a large number of low and
moderate income young and senior families; and
WHEREAS, the income levels of the park residents precludes
sufficient revenUes to construct a safe emergency shelter without
governmental assistance; and
WHEREAS, due to the unique location of the manufactured home park
which is separated from appropriate secondary shelter sites by Highway
10, which is difficult to cross at non peak times and near impossible at
peak times; and I
WHEREAS, the location of the park, the lack of appropriate o~ site
emergency shelter together with an emergency plan which has been
rejected by the City greatly underscores the need for the manufactured
home park to obtain CDBG funds to construct an adequate emergency
shelter.

City of Mounds View does hereby declare its support for Towns. Edge
Terrace's Community Development Block Grant application.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, the city Council requests that Ramsey

be used to provide a safe haven for men, women and children who, without
a suitable shelter, may be in jeopardy in times of severe weather.
