RESOLUTION APPROVING APPLICATION TO RAMSEY COUNTY FOR A COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL INCENTIVES TO MULTI-FAMILY
PROPERTIES WHICH ACHEIVE CRIME FREE HOUSING CERTIFICATION
WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View and the City of New Brighton assist in the coordination
of the Mounds View— New Brighton Property Manager's Coalition. One of the many functions of
this group includes the promotion of a Crime-Free Multi-Housing Certification for individual
properties; and
WHEREAS, properties receive Crime-Free Certification when they have completed three
specific phases including; 1) training, 2) crime prevention modifications to the building and grounds,
and 3) a block club or complex party; and
WHEREAS, the 2' phase of the certification process often requires specific improvements to
the building and grounds, which are sometimes expensive and delays the property from achieving
the Crime-Free Certification. The grant would be used to offset the financial burden incurred by
multi-family properties during the 2"d phase improvements; and
WHEREAS, to date, only four properties have completed all three phases of Crime-Free
Multi-Housing Certification within Mounds View and New Brighton. One of those properties is
located in Mounds View; and
WHEREAS, It is intended that assistance be provided to multi-family property owners for the
purposes of achieving Crime-Free Certification without causing rent increases onto low-moderate
income tenants of the properties as part of making required improvements.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Economic Development
Authority hereby recommends application to Ramsey County for a Community Development Block
Grant for$25,000 to provide financial assistance to multi-family properties for the purpose of
offsetting infrastructure expenses incurred in the process of achieving Crime-Free Multi-Housing
Certification.
