RESOLUTION 11-06-591
CITY OFMAPLEWOOD,MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR
LIVABLE COMMUNITIES DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDING AND
AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS
WHEREAS
the City ofMaplewood is a participant in the Livable Communities Act’s
Housing Incentives Program for 2011as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is
therefore eligible to apply for Livable Communities Demonstration Account funds; and
WHEREAS
the City has identified a proposed project within the City that meets the
Demonstration Account’s purposes and criteria and is consistent with and promotes the
purposes of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the
Metropolitan Council’s adopted metropolitan development guide; and
WHEREAS
the City has the institutional, managerial and financial capability to ensure
adequate project administration; and
WHEREAS
the City certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations as
stated in the grant agreement; and
WHEREAS
the City agrees to act as legal sponsor for the project contained in the grant
application submitted no later than July 15, 2011; and
WHEREAS
the City acknowledges Livable Communities Demonstration Account grants
are intended to fund projects or project components that can serve as models, examples
or prototypes for development or redevelopment projects elsewhere in the region, and
therefore represents that the proposed project or key components of the proposed
project can be replicated in other metropolitan-area communities; and
June 27, 2011
12
City Council MeetingMinutes
WHEREAS
only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the Metropolitan
Council’s Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and the
Metropolitan Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant funds
only to eligible projects that would not occur without the availability of Demonstration
Account grant funding; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
that, after appropriate examination and due
consideration, the governing body of the City:
1.Finds that it is in the best interests of the City’s development goals and priorities for
the proposed project to occur at this particular site and at this particular time.
2.Finds that the project component(s) for which Livable Communities Demonstration
Account funding is sought:
(a)will not occur solely through private or other public investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future; and
(b) will not occur within two years after a grant award unless Livable Communities
Demonstration Account funding is made available for this project at this time.
3.Represents that the City has undertaken reasonable and good faith efforts to
procure funding for the project component for which Livable Communities
Demonstration Account funding is sought but was not able to find or secure from
other sources funding that is necessary for project component completion within two
years and states that this representationis based on the following reasons and
supporting facts:
A fundamental assumption fromthe outset of the Gladstone Neighborhood
Redevelopment process has been that redevelopment must be self-sufficient and
that revenues needed to pay for redevelopment activities should not impact the
city’s generalfund,which is funded by city-wide property taxes. In order for the city
to continue its planning efforts within the Gladstone Neighborhood other revenue
streams must be sought after.
4.Authorizes its citystaff to submit on behalf of the City an application for Metropolitan
Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant funds for the project
component(s) identified in the application, and to execute such agreements as may
be necessary to implementthe project on behalf of the City.
