Moon Valley Contamination Clean-up Grant -'
SUBJ:
BACKGROUND
On September 27, 2004 the City Council approved the Interim Use Permit for
Moon Valley. The applicant, Pemtom Land Company, is requesting to have the
City support a grant application for the Minnesota Department of Employment
and Economic Development. A grant request and the resolution for approval are
attached. On May 23,2005 and October 11,2004, the City previously passed
resolutions in support of the grant application.
ANALYSIS
The grant application is due November 1st. The applicant is requesting the
maximum amount of $50,000. The City will be the pass-through agency for the
funding. There is a requirement for the City to provide the 25% match for the
grant. This would amount to $12,500 which staff intends to have a memorandum
of understanding with Pemtom Land Company that the City would be reimbursed
for those costs. Additionally, the City is applying for $6,000 from the
Metropolitan Council's Tax Base Revitalization Account to assist in the City's
match requirement. Staff supports the clean up of the site and the request for
funding.
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution for the
funding request.
