MEMORANDUM
TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager
FROM: Kate Aanenson, AICP, Planning Director
DATE: February 19, 1997
SUBJ: 1996 -1997 Community Development Block Grant Funding Request
BACKGROUND
The 1997 -98 allocation for CDBG funding is $50,729. The last two years, the city designated the
CDBG funding towards senior congregate dining. This year's allocation will be used for a home
buyer's assistance program. The program will be targeted for home buyers that are in the 50
percent median income for the metropolitan area. The median income amount for 1996 was
$27,300. The maximum housing price would be $95,000.
The assistance program would work by placing an advertisement in the local paper announcing
this program. Applicants would be screened for eligibility and the grant would be used to make
up the difference in the affordability of a unit. For example, someone with a median income of
$27,300 could probably only afford a mortgage of $80,000, and therefore the block grant would
be used to make up the difference of the purchase price. With $50,729 available, only 2 -5 loans
could be issued. The block grant money acts as an interest free loan. The loan will appear on
the title of the property as a lien. When a home is sold, the money would be returned and used to
assist another home buyer. Staff will be working with local banks to provide this assistance and
the processing of these loans.
WAS- K
As you are aware, CDBG dollars have national objectives that each activity must meet including:
• benefit low and moderate income persons
• aid in the prevention of slum or blight
• meet community development needs having a particular urgency

Hennepin County has given the following priorities that should be used as a guide for the use of
CDBG funds. These priorities include:
Housing
Rental and Supportive Housing: planning, site acquisition, related infrastructure for development
of new units and rehabilitation of existing units for low - income households (less than 50 percent
of median income).

low - income, first -time home buyers, and rehabilitation of existing units occupied by low- income
households.
Community Development
Neighborhood redevelopment /revitalization, senior centers, removal of architectural
barriers /ADA compliance, lead -based paint abatement and planning activities to address
community revitalization needs.
Public Services

City Council Meeting - January 27, 1997
Councilman Mason: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the way it works but yeah. Yeah, it'd be good to get his
input as well.
Councilman Berquist: Well then my presentation is complete. I'm a little bit surprised at Don's
numbers.
Don Ashworth: I think that they're high.
Councilman Berquist: I think they are too.
Don Ashworth: ...probably divide them by 4. Or a fourth of that.
Mayor Mancino: Let's have those ready for the work session. Okay, good.
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS:
SENIOR CENTER CONGREGATE DINING PLANNING DIRECTOR,
Kate Aanenson: I wanted to bring this to your attention because we're getting close to go out to bid. We
have prepared, had them draw up the kitchen itself. As you recall, Hennepin County has changed the
regulations for what we can use our Community Development Block Grant. We were able to put the
$100,000.00 towards congregate dining in the future. Any money that we allocate now has to go
towards effectuating affordable housing so we've gotten confirmation that we're in the $50,000.00 adl
plus bracket. You may not recall, if we're under 50 we're in this pool that other communities could
apply for so we are kind of our own entitlement where we can apply that money. So we felt this was our
best opportunity to take this money and use it towards congregate dining because any time in the future
we wouldn't have that large of a pool money. In putting the bid package together, we're excited about
the designer that we had in laying out the space and using the existing seating area that's in there now.
It's going to cause some complications. The good news is that the senior center is just continuing to
grow in it's use and demand, which is exciting. With the housing that's fully rented out. So in putting
this together we were hoping that we would actually come under the $100,000.00 and we may be able to
finish off some additional space down there to tie into the congregate dining. As it turns out, the demand
for the heating and ventilating, because we do have to have air conditioning down there, and that air
conditioning is actually going to carry a larger area. It's really added a large expense to it so it really
pretty much took the $100,000.00 and some. That's just their estimate. Obviously you'll have to
approve the bid package. I've spoken to the City Manager and we're hoping that that number will come
closer and that there will be an opportunity for the City to bridge that gap in order to make this
accomplished because this again is our only opportunity to apply this money so we will come back to you
with the bid package. I want to give you an opportunity to see the space laid out. There are some
members of the Senior Commission here if you had any questions. If any one of you wanted to kind of
walk through the space as it's laid out and how that whole system works, I'd be happy to do that with you
but I just wanted to let you know, this is for your information and we'll be bringing back the, well we'll
need to award the bids so we can see that.
Mayor Mancino: Okay. Any questions for Kate at this point from Council members?
Councilman Mason: Just a real quick comment. I know it's not always possible but it's nice to see this
stuff ahead of time. To be able to digest it and have some time to think about what's happening before
we get the shock. No, thanks. Thank you.

City Council Meeting - January 27, 1997
Mayor Mancino: Councilman Berquist.
Councilman Berquist: Where'd the mechanical numbers come from?
Kate Aanenson: ...was the, I paid them to do the design so they're the ones that came up, and they did
the City Hall design so we incorporated it into that.
Councilman Berquist: Who was it?
Kate Aanenson: Kasamme and Associates. It's the same one that did the design, or the bid package for
City Hall.
Councilman Berquist: 100 grand was the budget right?
Kate Aanenson: Correct.
Councilman Berquist: We're about 190.
Kate Aanenson: No.
Mayor Mancino: 117.
Kate Aanenson: 117.
Councilman Berquist: That's just for the kitchen. Didn't that 100 include the dining and the rest rooms
as well?
Kate Aanenson: No, that was just additional. We wanted to finish off. Originally, I didn't realize that
the heating and ventilating would be so much so I asked them to see what we could finish off additional
space because there's so much demand on the senior center. That seating area right now. If we could
provide some other seating area or some other rooms that the seniors could be using that weren't used in
the congregate dining. So that was just for your information. If we want to finish off additional space,
what it would cost.
Councilman Berquist: Where have you got, I'm looking at
Kate Aanenson: First column.
Councilman Berquist: Yeah, I know that but I'm looking at the numbers and I'm seeing a different,
appliances, including the exhaust hoods. Is that all in, all in the equipment?
Kate Aanenson: That's just your equipment bid.
Councilman Berquist: Okay, but the exhaust bids and what not are in equipment.
Kate Aanenson: That's all equipment.
Councilman Berquist: I think the mechanical number is real steep.

Dear Mr. Murphy:
The Community Development Block Grant funds the City of Chanhassen receives is from
Hennepin County. The Hennepin County Board passed a resolution dated February 20, 1996
regarding the use of block grant dollars. The outcome of the resolution is that suburban
communities receiving less than $50,000 allocation have the opportunity to pool monies from
other communities. In addition, block grant requests shall be used only for assisting housing and
community development needs.
Because your request for S 15,000 for transportation and outreach programs doesn't meet the
county's new criteria, your request cannot be submitted. If you have additional questions
regarding the use of block grant dollars, I would suggest you contact Barb Hayden at Hennepin
county Office of Planning Development.
Sincerely,
Kathryn R. Aanenson, AICP

FROM: Barbara Hayden, Administrative Manager
Hennepin County Office of Planning and Development
SUBJECT: 1997 URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM
Accompanying is the 1997 Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program planning packet. The following items
have been included to assist communities in the process of selecting activities for CDBG funding:
1997 Consolidated Plan Schedule
Planning Allocations by Community
Five -Year Priority Needs Summary
Sample Notice of Public Hearing
Sample Resolution
Request for Funding Form
List of CDBG Eligible Activities
The 1997 Urban Hennepin County CDBG Program allocation is $3.593 million. This is approximately 2
percent less then the 1996 grant. Recaptured 1994 CDBG funds totaling $8,455 have been added to the
community planning allocations. All cities that had funds recaptured have been notified.
This is the first program year under the 1997 -99 Joint Cooperation Agreement. Under the agreement,
planning allocations to communities that would receive $50,000 or less have been placed into a consolidated
pool. A separate notification of funding availability has been sent to communities contributing to the pool.
Only communities contributing to the pool are eligible to compete for these funds.
As in previous program years, the formula for determining the planning allocations is based upon your
community's share of the Urban County total population, people with incomes at or below poverty level and
overcrowded housing units. Poverty data is a double - weighted factor in the formula. Population figures have
been updated to 1994. All other data have been derived from the 1990 U.S. Census.

CONSOLIDATED PLANNING
This is the third year the CDBG Program is being developed under the Consolidated Plan process.
HUD instituted this process as a replacement for the independent planning and submission for the CDBG,
HOME, Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Programs and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy
(CHAS). The plan is intended to guide communities in the preparation of a comprehensive vision of housing
and community development.
HO ME PR AND EMERG ENCY SHELTER GRANT (ESG) PROGRAM
Using a separate solicitation process, the County is currently requesting proposals for the use of $1.808
million in HOME funds and $150,000 in ESG funds. All cities received a separate notification for the HOME
program.
The ESG solicitation will be sent to nonprofit organizations serving the homeless in Hennepin County. If
your city is interested in applying for ESG funds, please contact Mark Hendrickson at 541 -7084. The ESG
solicitation is limited to funding transitional housing for homeless families with significant housing barriers.
COUNTYWIDE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES
Below is a summary of the countywide priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan. The priorities were
developed using the results of the survey of participating communities (surveys were received from twenty -
six cities, representing more than 85 percent of the Urban County population), 1990 housing and demographic
data and comments from housing providers and advocates. A detailed list of priorities by type of activity is
enclosed.
The countywide priorities should be used as a guide when you consider the use of CDBG funds to address
local needs. The County will consider the relationship of proposed projects to countywide priorities in the
evaluation of projects for CDBG funding. If you propose to use CDBG funds for a project that does not have
a high countywide priority, you must clearly demonstrate why the project has a higher priority in your
community.
HOUSING
Rental and Supportive Housing: planning, site acquisition, related infrastructure for development of new
units and rehabilitation of existing units for low- income households (less than 50 percent of median income).
Homeownership: planning, site acquisition, related infrastructures, downpayment assistance for low- income,
first -time homebuyers and rehabilitation of existing units occupied by low - income households.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Neighborhood redevelopment/revitalization, senior centers, removal of architectural barriers /ADA
compliance, lead -based paint abatement and planning activities to address housing and community
revitalization needs.
General planning activities and the removal of architectural barriers will be considered a low
CDBG funding priority, unless the activity is directly related to an otherwise eligible housing
and /or community development activity. This is a change from previous years; the purpose is
to focus funding on activities consistent with CDBG priorities.
PUBLIC SERVICES
Services to senior citizens, disabled persons and youth, child care assistance and transportation services.
ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
No more than three activities should be undertaken in one community and each activity should have a
budget of at least $7,500. When funds are committed jointly with other participants to carry out a single
activity, these limits do not apply. Communities are strongly encouraged to develop joint initiatives to
address mutual needs by consolidating their resources.
LOW/MODERATE- INCOME BENEFIT
Seventy percent of the CDBG funds must be utilized for activities benefiting very low and low - income
residents.
HUD allows Urban Hennepin County CDBG funds to be used for eligible area benefit activities in census
tracts where the percent of low and moderate - income persons are 37 percent or more. This is an exception to
the requirement that a majority of persons in an area must be low and moderate - income. Maps have been
provided to communities with qualifying census tract block groups. Please contact your CDBG
representative if you need a map or have a question about eligible low and moderate - income benefit activities.
FUNDING PUBLIC SERVICES
Communities will continue to have the flexibility, initially, of using up to 20 percent of their CDBG planning
allocation to fund public services. Proposals that exceed 20 percent will be reduced. Please be sure to utilize
the 1997 allocation for calculating the 20 percent public service cap.
Once all proposals have been submitted, county staff will determine if the 1997 program has exceeded the
HUD required 15 percent cap on public services. If we have exceeded this amount, communities budgeting
over 15 percent of their allocation may have to make reductions.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
As identified in the Consolidated Plan and other studies, there is a significant need in suburban Hennepin
County for affordable low- income households. Affordable housing, appropriate to the needs of different
types of households, has been identified as a high priority for the use of HUD resources in the Consolidated
Plan. Activities are encouraged that will develop or improve housing for low- income households, assist
persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, persons with disabilities, families with children
and the elderly. The CDBG Program is an important resource to assist communities in addressing the critical
need for affordable housing.
AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHER FAIR HOUSING
As recipients of HUD funds, Hennepin County and each subrecipient community has agreed to affirmatively
further fair housing. HUD has initiated measures encouraging recipients to become more pro- active in
addressing conditions that create impediments to fair housing choice. As a potential condition to receiving
future funds, HUD expects recipients to undertake specific activities that will serve to further fair housing
choice.
Hennepin County allocated $50,000 of its administrative budget, from the FY96 CDBG and HOME
Programs, for fair housing services including: fair housing choice outreach, counseling and referral services,
training and education programs and enforcement of fair housing laws and ordinances. We anticipate
allocating a similar amount from 1997 program administrative funds.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
PUBLIC HEARING
Prior to March 7, 1997, each community must conduct a local public hearing and adopt a council resolution
on the proposed use of CDBG funds. A sample public hearing notice and resolution are enclosed. The
resolution includes language authorizing the signature of 1997 subrecipient and third party agreements.
PROJECT PROPOSALS
Please complete one funding request form for each project. Hennepin County staff will review each project
to determine CDBG eligibility, program benefit and the relationship to countywide priorities.
Please submit the following by March 7,1997:
• Request for Funding Form(s)
• Council Resolution
• Public Hearing Notice (affidavit of publication)
• Minutes from the Public Hearing
ASSISTANCE
Please contact me or your CDBG representative if you have any questions or need assistance with the 1997
planning process. In order to accommodate changing work loads, we have made some revisions to the cities
assigned to County staff. The CDBG Program representatives for each city are listed below.

FROM: Mark Hendrickson, Office of Planning and Development
SUBJECT: 1997 Section 8 Income Limits (Effective December 27, 1996)
Below are the current Section 8 income limits for low- income (80% of median) and very low income (50%
of median) households. In addition, income for households at 60% and 30% of median income are
provided. These income limits are based on HUD estimates of 1997 median household income. The U.S.
median family income increased to $43,500. The Minneapolis /St.Paul MSA median income increased from
$54,600 to $57,300. The U.S. median family income is used as a "cap" in calculating income for
households at 80% of median income.
These income limits must be used in calculating household income eligibility for all HUD funded activities
which need to document low /moderate income benefit. These income limits are effective until further
notice.
