ANOKA COUNTY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Paul McCarron, Chairman Margaret Langfeld, Vice Chair Dennis D. Berg Dave McCauley Dan Erhart William Nelson Donald H. Findell September 3, 1997 i I The Honorable Tom Gamec Mayor, City of Ramsey 16021 Neon Street NW Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: County HRA Levy Dear Mayor Gamec: I I I As you recall, the Anoka County HRA has adopted a policy of not instituting a levy in communities which have established an HRA or an EDA with HRA powers unless those communities request to be included in the levy. If your community is interested in being included in the 1998 levy, please pass a resolution and submit it prior to November 1, 1997, to Tim Yantos, Executive Director, Anoka County HRA, 2100 3rd Avenue, Anoka, MN 55303. The monies collected from the levy in your community would, less administrative expenses, be used for projects in your community which you have given your authorization for and which the Anoka County HRA has agreed to undertake. We believe that this can be a beneficial partnership for your citizens and that improvement to our housing stock is critical to the long-term quality of life in Anoka County. I I Some examples of projects which have been completed or are in various stages implementation are: * 49-unit senior building in Ham Lake; * First-time homebuyer's program in most communities; * Financing for the Super Rink in Blaine; * Assistance in rental housing improvement in Lexington; * Housing analysis in East Bethel and Ramsey; * 16-unit senior facility in Centerviile; * Implementation of Hollman settlement countywide; and * Housing rehab efforts in various communities. of I I !
