I SUBJ: Community Development Block Grant Funds Allocation-for- �' _-
Year XIV
1 BACKGROUND
The City Council at the March 14, 1988 , meeting approved $15,000
1 for allocation to the South Shore Senior Center and withheld
action on the remaining amount of funds ( $17,197 ) until other
ideas could be properly researched. These ideas included
installation of civil defense sirens, a neighborhood clean-up
II program, funds for the Southwest Corridor Transportation
Coalition, and funds for the local senior citizen social group.
Larry Blackstad from the Urban Hennepin County CDBG Office has
1 submitted a letter responding to the concerns of the Council.
Because of low and moderate income test requirements, the city is
unable to fund these projects .
1 For example, in the two mile diameter service area for a civil
defense siren to be located along Lake Lucy Road (as has been
planned by the Public Safety Commission) , 51% of the households
I living in that area would have to meet the low and moderate
income test. The maximum income for a moderate income family of
four persons is $32,400. A low income household of four persons
1 would have a maximum limit of $20,350 as mandated by Hennepin
County. Given the type and value of housing stock in this area
of Chanhassen (Christmas Lake neighborhood, Curry Farms, Pheasant
Hill) , it can be assumed that the 51% test would not be able to
I be met. A specific income survey would have to be conducted
within the service area to verify income limits.
I As to the program for the local senior social group, Mr.
Blackstad advised me that typically capital expenditures are pro-
vided for senior activities . For example, the City typically
pays for the coordinator' s salary or other improvements that are
Ineeded for the facility in which they are located. In the case
of the Chanhassen group, it is my understanding that they use the
elementary school for social activities . If the Chanhassen group
1
II
Mr. Don Ashworth

were like the South Shore Senior Center in that they had specific
programs for Chanhassen seniors , the CDBG funds could be eligible
to help pay for capital expenses in regards to that. However, in
this case, the South Shore Senior Center is providing all its
services for the Chanhassen seniors.
It is very frustrating to write a memo listing items that the
City cannot do. It would be preferable to write a memo on what
the City can do; however, the City is fortunate to be in the
program given that only a very small part is located within
Hennepin County and the total population in Hennepin County is
four persons. Larry Blackstad will be at the meeting on Monday
evening to answer the Council' s questions in regard to this
program. Remaining options to the Council are as follows:
1 . Do not allocate the remaining monies .
2 . Allocate the remaining monies to the South Shore Senior
Center.

Dear Barbara:
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, requires that
' each activity supported with Community Development Block Grant funds be
fundable and eligible. To be fundable an activity must be shown to address
one of the Community Development Program's three primary objectives:
- the project must primarily benefit low and/or
moderate income persons, or
' - aid in the prevention or elimination of slums.
or blight, or
- respond to an urgent community need (i .e. public
health hazard) .
The eligibility of each activity is based upon support for it in Subpart C -
' Eligible Activities of 24CFR570 - the Community Development Block Grant
regulations (see attached copy) .
Within the context of the fundability and eligibility requirements of the
Community Development Program, and based upon the information provided on
March 15, 1988, the following fundability/eligibility determinations have
been made on the four proposed activities.
Civil Defense Sirens - To be a fundable activity it must be demonstrated that
at least 51% of the households living in the service range of the
siren are low or moderate income. Should the fundability test be
met, the project is eligible.
Neighborhood Cleanup Program - To be fundable it must be demonstrated that at
least 51% of the households benefiting from the activity are low
or moderate income. The eligibility cannot be determined without
additional information.

Southwest Corridor Transportation -
odor Tr portation Coalition The project does not appear
to address a national objective. If the activity is basically
a lobbying effort, support of it as a planning or administrative
activity would be an ineligible use of funds.
Local Senior Citizen Social Group - Without a more specific project proposal
it is not possible to make a fundability/eligibility determination
for the activity.
If there are additional questions, please contact me at 348-5859. '

MEMORANDUM FOR: Regional Administrators
II
Regional Economists
Field Office Managers
Field Office Economists
ISUBJECT: Approval of revised income limits for lower income and very
low-income families under the Housing Act of 1937
IIThis memorandum transmits revised income limits for lower income and
very low-income families, developed in accordance with Section 3(b) (2) of
I the United States Housing Act of 1937, and to the Rent Supplement and
Rental Assistance Payments programs. These income limits, which are listed
by dollar amount and family size, are available for each Metropolitan
II Statistical Area (MSA), Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA) , and
nonmetropolitan county in the attached lists. The revised limits are
effective as of the date of this memorandum.
I These revised income limits are based on the HUD estimates of median
family income for Fiscal Year 1988. As required by statute, the definition
of "lower income family" is based on 80 percent of the median income for
II the area, with adjustments for smaller and larger families, and the "very
low-income family" income limits are based on 50 percent of the median,
with adjustments for family size. As authorized by the legislation,
adjustments also have been made for areas of unusually high or low income
I or housing costs in the same manner as last year. Minimum income limit
standards were. used to increase income limits in areas with unusually high
rental housing cost to income relationships. Maximum income limit
I standards were used to constrain income limits in areas with unusually
high incomes.
The minimum income limit for a very low-income four-person family has
been set at the level at which 35 percent of income would pay the rent for
a unit renting at 85 percent of the estimated typical rent for an existing
two-bedroom unit, as measured by the Section 8 Fair Market Rent standard.
A 35 percent rent-to-income ratio was selected for use in setting minimum
income limits because many nonsubsidized low-income families pay this
amount or more for housing, and because households tend not to participate
1 in assisted housing programs unless they are eligible for a significant
subsidy. The 85 percent figure represents the lowest rent range at which a
supply of standard quality units is normally available.
II
1
II
II
2 II
Minimum income limits are not considered necessary for the lower I
income limit schedules, which by statute are based on 80 percent of local
median family income. Households at these income levels have high enough
incomes to ensure that they have relatively limited need for assistance
under the current Section 8 program standards. Minimum income limits II
previously approved for lower income and very low-income families based on
Regional income and renter household income standards will continue to II apply to a small number of areas until increases in area income levels
produce higher income limits using current procedures. In addition, income
limits approved for Indian Trust Lands remain in effect unless superseded
by higher FY 1988 income limits. I
As in the past, a maximum income limit for lower income four-person
families has been established at the national median family income level , II which is $32,400 for Fiscal Year 1988. Use of this procedure resulted in
constraining income limits for lower income families in 22 metropolitan
areas and 15 nonmetropolitan areas.
There continues to be a small number of areas with unusually low I
rental housing costs in relationship to area median family incomes. To
adjust for these situations, the maximum income limit for a very low-income II four-person family has been set at the level at which 30 percent of income
would pay for a unit renting at the maximum exception rent permitted by the
Section 8 Existing Housing program. Use of this procedure resulted in II constraining income limits for very low-income families in two metropolitan
. areas and 60 nonmetropolitan counties.
As required by statute, adjustments have been made in the income II limits for smaller and larger families by using the four-person family as a
base and applying percentage adjustments for various size families as
follows: II Income Number of Persons in Family and Percentage Adjustments
Limits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Lower income 70 80 90 Base 106.25 112.5 118.75 125 1
Very low-income 70 80 90 Base 108 116 124 132
II
Higher income limits apply to families with more than eight persons,
although they are not included in the printed State lists because of space
limitations. The lower income limits for families larger than eight
II
persons are determined by adding 6.25 percent of the four-person income
limit base to the eight-person limit for each person in excess of eight.
For very low income limits, eight percent of the four-person base is added
to the eight-person limit for each person in excess of eight. (e.5. , the II
nine-person very low limit equals 1.4 (1.32 + .08) times the four-person
limit. The limits developed by the use of these factors are to be rounded I
to the nearest $50.

DATE: March 9 , 1988
1 SUBJ: Community Development Block Grant Funds Allocation for
Year XIV
I The City Council must conduct a public hearing for the allocation
of funds for program Year XIV of the Community Development Block
Grant program. Chanhassen' s allocation this year totals $32 ,197.
1 We have received a request from the South Shore Senior Center in
the amount of $6,668 to fund a portion of the salary of the
center coordinator and the food handler working in the congregate
1 dining program. The remaining amount totals $25,529 . As to how
these remaining funds should be allocated needs discussion by the
City Council.
1 There are two options that the City Council can consider for the
remaining funds .
Il . The City, since 1983 , has allocated monies for a housing
rehabilitation program. These funds have helped rehab 15 to
20 homes in areas such as Carver Beach, Red Cedar -Point, and
other older areas of the city ( federal rules prohibit the
1 publishing of the addresses and the exact locations, however,
the Hennepin County contact person stated that these areas
were the primary recipients of funds) . The contact person
1 from Hennepin County has verified that the $16, 000 allocated
in Year XIII has been committed for 6 pending projects. He
stated that the city could initate a publicity campaign to
1 make citizens more aware of the housing rehabilitation
program. He stated that based on past experience he felt
confident that the $25 , 000 could be expended.
1 2 . The South Shore Senior Center was contacted to submit another
request for any type of improvements that they would need
with the center. They have indicated that they could use the
Iadditional money for two items :
a. Purchase of a van ( carries 12-14 people) . Approximately
I 80% of the cost of the van is paid by federal monies . The
remaining 20% must come from local sources . Requested is
$5,145 .

Mr. Don Ashworth
March 9 , 1988
Page 2 1
b. The school district has indicated to the seniors that the
building in which they are currently located will be
destroyed within the next 3-5 years. The Senior Center
wants to initiate a planning study to find a new location
and analyze funding options. Requested is approximatley
$15,000 . '
The Council may recall that the Year XIII monies were split
between the South Shore Senior Center, Housing Rehab ( $16, 500)
and the construction of handicapped access for the community
center ( $26,507) . Given the referendum vote, these funds in Year
XIII should be re-evaluated. Larry Blackstad, the Hennepin
County contact, has advised me that the revision in the recent
federal guidelines in the Davis Bacon Act would require a signi-
ficant amount of paperwork if the city were to use CDBG funds for
partial construction of the community center. He stated that the
city would probably expend more time on administering the rules
•
necessary to comply with the Davis Bacon Act then actually expend
in construction.
RECOMMENDATION
Therefore, given the above information staff recommends the
following:
1 . All Year XIV monies should be allocated to the South Shore Senior
Center ( $32,197) . If the center cannot expend all of its monies
the city has the option to reallocate in the future.
2 . The Council should conduct a public hearing in the near future to
reallocate Year XIII monies to Housing Rehabilitation ( $26 , 507 ) .
Staff would work with Hennepin County to develop a more
aggressive publicity program. Year XIII funds expire at the end
of 1988 . Given past activity, funds should be able to be
expended. (As an alternative, the Council can choose to give
back the funds for distribution elsewhere. )
Given Hennepin County' s staff comments on the costs of admi-
nistering the handicapped access project in the community center
and given the uncertainty of the community center project,
reallocation to the housing rehab program is recommended.
CITY COUNCIL MOTION '
It is recommended that the City Council approve the distribution
of Year XIV monies ( $32 ,197) to the South Shore Senior Center.

Dear Mayor Hamilton and Council Members: I
Senior Community Services is requesting 6,668 from the City of
Chanhassen to support the Southshore Senior ester during the year
II
beginning July 1 , 1988 and ending June 30 , 1989. This request
includes two amounts:
• $4 ,867 of the request reflects a 4% increase over the amount I
requested last year .
• $1 ,801 is the additional amount awarded to the Southshore Senior II
Center by the Council for 1987-88. As with other funding
provided by the six Southshore cities, this amount is being used
II
exclusively for the salaries of the Center Coordinator and the
Food Handler working in the Congregate Dining Program. Contin-
uing this additional support in 1988-89 will help greatly as the I
Center seeks to serve additional Southshore seniors.
The Southshore Senior Center is the focal point for a broad range of
I
services and activities for area seniors. During 1987, an average of
54 seniors attended the Center daily. Congregate dining meals are now
being served to 49 seniors each noon . The Center offers a wide
variety of educational programs, opportunities to take monthly trips
II
to local places of interest , health screenings, and a place to be with
old friends and new acquaintances. More than 50 senior volunteers
have provided over 3,000 volunteer hours at the Center during the past
year .

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
YEAR XIV (1988) URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY CDBG PROGRAM
Community Development Block Grant funds may be used to support a wide range of
housing and community development activities. The Statement of Objectives
provides a framework for use by Urban Hennepin County participants in
developing local community development programs and by the Citizens Advisory
Committee in their review of requests for funding. Urban Hennepin County
objectives are supportive of 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 and
fundable under program regulations (24 CFR 570) as well as meet a national
program objective.
The Urban Hennepin County CDBG objectives are presented by major program
subheadings. They are highlighted under the subheading.
ADMINISTRATION
The CDBG program requires that Urban Hennepin County maximize the benefit of I
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.
- Contain program administrative costs through the use of program management
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 implemen-
tation 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 structure for citizen participation in the development,
implementation and evaluation of the Urban Hennepin County CDBG program.
- Implement Urban Hennepin County CDBG activities in such a manner as to
minimize the direct or indirect displacement of owners or tenants from
occupied dwelling units and business locations.
a * r
II
MUM
Urban Hennepin County has established goals which are approved by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development for the construction of new
housing and the rehabilitation of existing housing for low and moderate income
owner and renter households.
' - Facilitate the development of housing activities consistent with Urban
Hennepin County goals and priorities.
' - Encourage multi-community cooperation in housing development projects.
- Support the development of new owner/renter housing affordable to low and
' moderate income households.
- Support the rehabilitation of existing rental units and single-family
' dwellings.
NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION
' As an intergovernmental effort, Urban Hennepin County includes a broad range
of communities and neighborhoods, some of which, _due to the age of their
structures, are in need of assistance for infrastructure rehabilitation/
' installation.
- Maintain and preserve viable neighborhoods and neighborhood service centers
through concentrated community development activities.
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS
' The provision and maintenance of essential public facilities represents a
significant cost to the community and the individual user (particularly
those of low and moderate income) .
- Maintain existing public improvements and facilities and assist in the
development of new facilities and improvements which benefit low and
moderate income persons.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Within the context of the Community Development Block Grant Program economic
development must relate to the creation or retention of long-term employment
opportunities for low and moderate income individuals.
' - Provide financial assistance to for-profit or non-profit business operations
which will provide or retain permanent employment opportunities for low and
moderate income persons, at a ratio of at least one full-time job created
' or retained for each $10,000 of program funds used.
PUBLIC SERVICES
' The CDBG program asserts that the expansion and improvement of the quantity
and quality of pubic services available to low and moderate persons is for the
essential development of viable communities.
- Provide funding for public services which represent a new service or
expanded level of service consistent with CDBG regulations.
HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITY
The Community Development Block Grant Program is committed to ensure that the
facilities and programs it supports are accessible to the handicapped
individuals.
- Ensure that public facilities constructed, rehabilitated and operated with
program funds are handicapped accessible.
- Provide support for the development or rehabilitation of housing which is
accessible to handicapped persons.
