Ramsey previously <br />allocated $63,988.00 in CDBG funds towards land acquisition for the senior apartment building. <br />However, the funds had to be pulled from that project when it became known that CDGB <br />involvement would significantly restrict income eligibility for residents of the facility. <br />Consequently, the funds were reallocated to preservation of the Old Town Hall in hopes that it <br />could be renovated in time for the City's 25t~' Anniversary celebration. However, that project did <br />not meet Federal guidelines because historic preservation projects must be pristine and some <br />renovation work had already occurred. The City has received a request from the Anoka County <br />Community Action Program (ACCAP) that the funds be reallocated to their organization for <br />acquisition of land in the City for development of affordable townhouse rental units. Federal <br />regulations require a 30 day comment period following the public hearing for reallocation of <br />CDBG funds. Council may adopt a resolution now to reallocate the funds pending the outcome <br /> <br />City Council/September 28, 1999 <br /> Page 13 of 30 <br /> <br />$3 <br /> <br /> <br />
