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 March 24, 1988 Page 2 1 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. ATTACHMENTS 1 . Letter from Larry Blackstad dated March 16, 1988 . 2 .

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. 1 I HENNEPIN COUNTY MAR 1 "r 1988 an equal opportunity employer CITY OF CHANhASSEN Ms. Barbara Dacy March 16, 1988 Page Two 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.

These limits are effective January 15, 1988. The limits are identified by household size and maximum income. These limits are to be used in calculating household income eligibility for all CDBG funded projects which must document low/moderate-income benefit. 1 Enclosure • • 1 1 1 I FEB 2 41988 CITY.OF CHANFIASSEN I I rc«r ati U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT ��� WASHINGTON,D.C.20410-8000 e f n I F L9��'Olvl O� OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HOUSING-FEDERAL HOUSING COMMISSIONER IJanuary 15, 1988 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. II • II k y 3 HUD Field Offices are responsible for maintaining complete and up to date records of all current income limit ceilings established for areas within their jurisdiction. Notice of all income limit revisions should be ' promptly distributed to program participants, and Field Offices should be prepared to make income limits available to the public upon request. If you have any questions concerning these new income limit approvals ' or the procedures for requesting special revisions, please contact Joseph Riley of the Headquarters Office of Economic Affairs, telephone 755-5590.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 AL);; (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM 1 TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager FROM: Barbara Dacy, City Planner � r t 1.r--it� 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 . 1 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. ATTACHMENTS 1 .

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. 1 i 1 1
