CASE <br /> <br /> UPDATE ON D.A.R.E. HOUSE PROJECT <br />By: Ryan R. Schroeder, City Administrator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Council previously authorized all activities necessary to complete construction of a "D.A.R.E. <br />House" in Ramsey. As you are aware, we were proposing to "recover" a model house built at the <br />Minneapolis Home and Garden Show. Ultimately, this project did not go forward. We were <br />unable to reach an ~acceptable agreement with the manufacturer of the home. <br /> <br />However, we have received a significant number of donations toward this project. A number of <br />these have been m~solicited as word of the D.A.R.E. house project gets out. As you know we still <br />have a lot on hold in the Chestnut Ridge subdivision on which to build the project. We also, <br />however, have not'expended or committed to any actual expenditures and can, therefore, stop the <br />project at this point. <br /> <br />Staff is proposing that we go forward. Attached is the front elevation of a four-bedroom, modified <br />two-story, with about 1,700 square feet f'mished that we would like to consider for this project, ff <br />authorized, we woald propose to continue the project as previously approved with only the source <br />of the framing of the home design changing. <br /> <br />There appears to be some potential for scheduling conflicts related to this project and we need to be <br />sensitive to the existing departmental needs for other programs (in the Police, Community- <br />Development and Administration departments). If Council is comfortable that those issues could <br />be satisfactorily worked out we would ask to proceed. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Based on discussion <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Police Chief <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />CC: 03/12/96 <br /> <br />/jmt <br /> <br /> <br />
