The process for funding allocation is consistent with what has been done in previous years. Chanhassen II has been allocated $33, 664.00 which is marginally higher than the $33,488. 00 allocated last year. In past years, the City Council has discussed potentially fundable programs prior to holding the 1 required public hearing resulting in a resolution directing how funds should be expended. Year XV funds were allocated as follows: 11 - Handicap accessibility for Lake Susan Park 7 0 Y $ ,5 0 - Low moderate income homeowner improvement II fund program administered by Hennepin Co. $19,053 - South Shore Senior Center/operations/programs $ 6,935 II Improvements for the Lake Susan Park are scheduled for construction this summer. Funding for South Shore Senior Center operations has been expended. Staff is in the process of contacting Hennepin County for an update on the home renovation program but it appears from recent statements that none of the funds have been expended as of yet. In addition, the city has an outstanding $7,500 grant from Year IV funding allocation that is being used at the present time IIto support the on-going senior citizen needs study program. ^Staff has received a request ' for funding from the South Shore I Senior Center for $7,212.00 which constitutes a 4% increase over last year's allocation to adjust for inflation. Staff generally supports continued funding of South Shore Senior Center since they I appear to provide valuable services to our community. We do however, have two cautionary notes. The first is that the Senior Citizen Needs Study, when completed in the summer of 1990, may well indicate other areas where funding allocations for senior services IImay be more appropriately placed. At this point in time, there are II I 1 1 I I 1 I I s I I I I I I I I I Don Ashworth March 8, 1990 ' Page 2 no such recommendations from the study, we simply want to make the Council aware that this could happen. We were also somewhat concerned that the South Shore Senior Center does not appear to be able to provide statistics regarding utilization of the facility by ' Chanhassen residents. We have no doubt that it is being utilized by our citizens, we simply do not know to what extent. As in previous years, the potentially fundable items are limited. These are outlined in the attached documentation from Hennepin County but generally fall into the following categories: 1. Support of low to moderate income housing programs. 2. Neighborhood revitalization. 3. Public facilities and improvements. 1 4. Economic development resulting in the creation or retention of long term employment for low and moderate income individuals. 5. Provision of public services for low and moderate income 1 persons. 6. Removal of architectural barriers to handicap access. In addition, each project funded must require a minimum allocation of $7,500. Staff is seeking City Council direction and input as to which ' projects you would like us to consider funding with Year XVI funds. As is often the case with these matters, we are on a relatively quick time line prior to holding a public hearing to allocate the funds. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 iiV SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES 1600 South 2nd Street, Hopkins, Minnesota 55343 933-9311 1 March 1, 1990 1 BOARD of DIRECTORS Mayor Don Camile and City Council Members Connie McCullough Preside nt CITY OF CHANHASSEN I President 690 Coulter Drive (P.O.

Statement of Objectives 2. Planning Allocation by Unit 3. Program Statement Development Schedule 4. Notice of Public Hearing sample Is. Sample resolution approving local use of funds 6. Request for Funding form II The 1990 entitlement amount is $2,578,000, which is 2.6 percent less than received in 1989. In issuing the amount, HUD cautioned that the figure may change somewhat because they do not yet know the exact amount of recaptured II program funds that will finally be applied to the national' allocation. They do not see the amount changing significantly and, because of time pressures, advised that we proceed with the figures provided. I The individual planning allocations are based on HUD population estimates for 1988. 1990 Countywide Discretionary Account Application Process II To provide the opportunity to request funding from the Countywide Discretionary Account in conjunction with the use and in support of your planning allocation II the two processes are being run coterminous in 1990.

The Statement of Objectives , provides a framework for use by Urban Hennepin County participants in develop- ing local community development programs. Urban Hennepin County objectives are supportive of the national CDBG objectives and are intended to illustrate their application to the Urban Hennepin County CDBG program. The national objectives of the CDBG program are: developing viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanded economic opportunities principally for low and moderate income persons; aiding in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and meeting other community development needs having a particular urgency. , Each activity carried out with CDBG funds must, of course, be eligible under program regulations (24 CFR 570) as well as fundable pursuant to a national program objective. The Urban Hennepin County CDBG program objectives establish the approval criteria for activities under major areas of eligibility. I ADMINISTRATION The CDBG program requires that Urban Hennepin County maximize the benefit of available funds consistent with the needs of low and moderate income persons and participant communities. In like manner it is a program responsibility to maximize program benefit and effectively administer program funds. 1 Contain program administrative costs through the use of program manage- ment contracts for joint activities funded by several jurisdictions. No more than three activities should be undertaken by any participating community. Each activity should be budgeted with at least $7,500. In cases where the planning allocation is less than $7,500 only one activity should be programmed. When funds are committed jointly with other participants to carry out a single activity these limits need not apply. Facilitate cooperation among participants in the development and imple- 1 mentation of multi-community CDBG activities to address common concerns and needs. Support program activities which will generate program income to maintain a level of program funding. Maintain a process for citizen participation in the development, imple- r mentation and evaluation of the Urban Hennepin County CDBG program. Implement Urban Hennepin County CDBG assisted activites in compliance ' with the Urban Hennepin County Antidisplacement and Relocation Plan and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real property Acquisition Policies Act.
