regarding the City providing assistance to the aging housing stock in the community. He explained
the Council would be considering a contingency bond for another city to assist them with
improving a rental unit. He suggested the Mounds View EDA consider providing this bonding to
a local rental landlord, instead of sending the money outside of the City.
