BonD ELEC'l'10N: Mr. lleLtll and the Commissj.c lJ discussed at (Jreat length the
verbiage on the llrochun. and the outlay 0/ the map. SeveraJ chanqes ,,}ere made:.
Steve 1\'011 ",'ilJ contact Mr. lIefty durin'! tJ ::." weel<. and gjve the. final cI['[>Toval
on the blochure.
Mr.. DaVe' JiOij,_.tPi' di sCllssc'd three lias ic orgell, i zat.ions from which matching funds
would be dvailallle .iF tIle' tTillage of Chanhassen qualifies. These were the
State- ticltural h'source Fund r lIousinq and Urban Deve10pment (fIUD) , and Land
JII""" and h'at(:r Conservation Fund (L/If'iCON). He also mentioned that several cOllnties
provi.de tunds a} so; hm;reveL'r Carver is not one of them.
J'hf' Na l:ur.'11 H,'sour,'" l"lIl1ds are norma l.1 Y Civa i .la1J1e for Ln'LliJl' OP"1i ar,"a5 such
as our Lake Ann project and all' automatical.ly applied for upon receipt of a
LAWCON qrant. In some ca.'~es Ult:.' Natural R('sourc(~ Fund grant up to 10()::' fund i ng
but usualll} matches the munjc.ipal amount.
ffUD lund;=; arc. usuall y granted for neighborhood play arf::,as, tot lots, and areas
adjacl.cnt to or in conjunction with school grounds; not the big open space
conc(~'pt:. These funds can be app1ied for at any time, are voted on every
three months, and are granted on a priori t11 basis. 'Phese requests are compet.ing
with Villages within an eight-state region Roy Boddet is the rep.resentative
.in Chicago [or this area. .U= the request ..s turned down the first time it
automatically goes up for another try at tile next meeting. After that the
request is returned to the Vi11age or a grant is made.
HUD funds ca.n be used for acquisi tion or development. However, on I y an amount
equal to 12~~:. of the acquLsi tionfunds can be used for de1(e10pment and then
only if the acquisition funds come from HUJl.
HUD h'i f 1 !/150 pay rjO::, of l:he condentniltioll cost::;. For example, it' the Villaqe
asks lor 7',K and finds through condelllnation the' propc'rty costs lOOK, fWD
will pay 50% of .the lOOK.
{I"""
"
Another feature 01 the HUD funding is that it only reimburses the Village for
property purchased or developed after the VLllage has made payment. This
means that the Vi11age must use its own money first and then request money from
the gI ant. This means tha t after the grant is approv6'd it stands in wai ting until
the Village proves it has made payment before llUD reimlll1L'ses the> Village.
