CDBG Reallocation CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COLTNCIL MEETING DATE: November 2, 1999 AGENDA ITEM: CDBG Reallocation AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT PREPARED BY: Thomas D. Burt, City Administrator A��I��N� � � ��I ATTACHMENTS: Letter from HRA, Resolution APPROVED BY: The Port Authority has had a number of ineetings and has determined a more appropriate use of the 1999 and 2000 CDBG funds would be for the acquisition and cleanup of Roy's Sports. To do this the City Council must formally adopt the attached resolution requesting the reallocation from the Quonset hut site to Roy's. This resolution also requests an additional $60,000 be provided for the project in return for the City giving its 2000 CDBG allocation to Dakota County HRA for county-wide projects. Once approved it will be forwarded on to the Dakota County HRA. They will hold a public hearing and we should have all of the funds available by the end of 1999. Another item that I have been working on is contacting Habitat for Humanity and they are very interested in these two sites. The appraisal has been ordered and I am about to order a phase one environmental for the site. This project is on track and the approval of the attached resolution is needed so the funds can be spent on this site.

Rosemount, MN 55068 RE: CDBG Program Dear Tom: �is we discussed on Friciay, Uctober 1�`�,tne 1Uakota C,ounty Hl�will consider amending the 1 y9y Communiry Development Block Grant(CDBG) Program to allow funds currently set aside for the acquisition of the Fritz property(at the corner of Highways 3 and 42)to be used instead to acquire the Roy Sports property at 14815 Dallara Ave. We will also consider reallocating other available CDBG funds in an amount equal to the anticipated funding available to Rosemount through the 2000 CDBG Program, so that the City can proceed rapidly with the Roy Sports acquisition. To assist us in moving forward with these changes as quickly as possible, I suggest that the City do the following: 1. The City Council should pass a resolution requesting that the 1999 CDBG funds be redirected to the Roy Sports property, and also request that additional funds of up to $60,000 be provided (if available) in return for the City givinb its 2000 CDBG funding to the Dakota County HRA for county-wide projects. You wouldn't need to suhmit a Fiscal Year 2000 application under this scenario. 2. You should contact the Twin Cities Chapter of Habitat for Humanity and, if possible, obtain a commitment from them to develop on this site. Our contact is Matt Soucek at(612) 331-�090. 3. You must provide us a copy of your appraisal of the property as soon as it is available. In accordance with CDBG Program requirements, we will need to have it reviewed. We have a standing contract with a review appraiser who should be able to perform this task quite quickly. 4. You should proceed with an environmental examination of the site, and provide us with a copy of the report when it is available. 5. In order to remove any possibility that CDBG regulations wou(d apply to the Fritz property, it would probably be best if the City repaid to the HRA the amount of CDBG funds ($3,379.80) already spent on the project for the appraisal and some relocation analysis. You can wait to do this until the amendment nas been approved. G'r course, tnose iunds wouid inen be availabie for the alternate site acquisition. The CDBG Program amendment would be effective after a 30-day public comment period and action by the Dakota County HRA Board of Commissioners. Our Board would consider the matter at its December 14`h meeting. The public comment period would run from November 11`h through December 10`h. We'll need to send the notice to the newspaper by November 8`h, so please let me know prior to that date if there are any changes in these plans. Please call me at(651)423-8107 if there are questions or comments.
