55 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: August 9, 2001 <br /> TO: Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: STAFF REPORT ON 2002 LIVABLE COMMUNITIES ACT <br /> Since 1995, the City of St. Anthony has met or exceeded established livability and affordability housing <br /> goals, as determined by the Metropolitan Council. As an incentive for adopting a housing action plan <br /> and supporting the Livable Communities Act, the City became eligible for loans and grants from the <br /> Livable Communities Act Fund. St. Anthony also became eligible for funds from the Department of <br /> Trade and Economic Development to clean up certain polluted sites that might exist in the community. If <br /> the City should decide not to continue its participation in this program, the City will no longer be eligible <br /> for any funds associated with the Livable Communities Act. <br /> The City is not required to expend any funds for Affordable and Life-cycle Housing Opportunities <br /> Amount(ALHOA) because the City continues to meet and maintain its housing goals. <br /> Since this commitment is required to be renewed annually by each City, attached is a resolution for the <br /> Council's consideration. <br />
