pla nning - area one citizen advisory committee 2353 government -center, minneapolis,mn 55487 April 30, 1984 Mr. Robert Sundland, Mayor City of St. Anthony 3301 Silver Lake Road N.E. St. Anthony, MN 55418 Dear Mayor Sundland: As specified in the -Urban Hennepin County •Community Development -Block Grant Program "Citizen Participation Plan," the Planning Area One Citizen Advisory Committee is to comment on the proposed activities of cities in Planning Area One. The Commit- tee has reviewed the proposals with regard to their conformance with- Federal statutes and regulations and the Urban Hennepin County Statement of Objectives, all of which must be substantially complied with to ensure funding of the program. With respect to the St. Anthony proposal for the use of $34,819 in Year X Community Development monies, the Committee approves the following projects: Public Service/Senior Citizens Program ($5,219) Elderly Rental Housing Project Assistance ($24,600) The Committee feels that the proposed Stinson Boulevard sidewalk would be more appropriately located on the other side of Stinson Boulevard where less driveways cut into the sidewalk. Further, the Committee feels it appropriate to assess the commercial property owners for the sidewalk cost to free up CDBG monies for other city needs. The Committee requests allocation to other eligible projects. In the absence of such action, the Committee requests that Hennepin County, prior to submission of the Year X Program to HUD, allocate the $5,000 to the Planning Area One Contingency account. The Committee is concerned with the funding of ongoing Public Services which could - -tend to build expectations of future funding-and could lead to fi nanc_i al dependence of certain organizations upon CDBG and/or City monies. Sinc ely,,,.�/� . Gary Prazak, Vice Chair - PACAC-One ml9 cc: Dave Childs, City- of St: Anthony Mark Elmberg, Urban. ,Hennepin County
