CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR
LIVABLE COMMUNITIES DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDING AND
AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS
WHEREAS
the City of Maplewood is a participant in the Livable Communities Act’s Housing
Incentives Program for 2010 as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is therefore eligibleto apply
for Livable Communities Demonstration Account funds; and
WHEREAS

Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the Metropolitan Council’sadopted
metropolitan development guide; and

City Council MeetingMinutes
WHEREAS
the City certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations asstated
in the grant agreement; and
WHEREAS
the City agrees to act as legal sponsor for the project contained in the grant
application submitted on July 19, 2010; 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 prototypesfor
development or redevelopment projects elsewhere in the region, and therefore represents thatthe
proposed project or key components of the proposed project can be replicated in othermetropolitan-area
communities; and
WHEREAS
only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the MetropolitanCouncil’s
Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and theMetropolitan Council has
determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant funds only toeligible projects that would not
occur without the availability of Demonstration Account grantfunding.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
that, after appropriate examination and dueconsideration, the
governing body of the City:
1. Finds that it is in the best interests of the City’s development goals and priorities for theproposed
project to occur at this particular site and at this particular time.
2. Finds that the project component(s) for which Livable Communities Demonstration Accountfunding is
sought:
(a) will not occur solely through private or other public investment within the reasonablyforeseeable
future; and
(b) will not occur within two years after a grant award unless Livable CommunitiesDemonstration
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 fundingfor the
project component for which Livable Communities Demonstration Account fundingis sought but was not
able to find or secure from other sources funding that is necessary forproject component completion
within two years and states that this representation is basedon the following reasons and supporting
facts:
List reasons and supporting facts here:
Afundamental assumption on the outset of the Gladstone NeighborhoodRedevelopment
process has been that redevelopment must be self-sufficient andthat revenues needed to pay for
redevelopment activities must come from newdevelopment. General, city-wide property taxes
should not be used to financeredevelopment activities for public improvements.
4. Authorizes its city staff to submit on behalf of the City an application for MetropolitanCouncil Livable
Communities Demonstration Account grant funds for the projectcomponent(s) identified in the
application, and to execute such agreements as may benecessary to implement the project on behalf of
the City.
