Mayor Gamec asked if there would be a possibility of recouping from the <br />County if the Federal turns the city down. <br /> <br />Co~mty A~b;~nistrator ~cGinley replied it would be a possibility. <br /> <br />Cour~cilman Cox said Ramsey wouldn't qualify according to the criteria. <br />He said if people don't have good jobs, they can't afford to live in <br />Ra~lmey. He said he didn't feel the County is aware of the inequities <br />in the State Aid formula and the problems Ramsey has. <br /> <br />Mayor Gsmec said most of the problems are in older communities that the <br />grants are given for. <br /> <br />County Administrator McGinley said he didn't want to leave the impression <br />that these fmads are primarily for housing and the use of these dollars <br />is more free than anything the city has seen. They can be used for <br />development, etc. They are very appropriate for a commur~ity like Ramsey. <br /> <br />City A&~nistrator Schnelle said there should be a Community Action <br />Co~mmittee which Would consist of elected officials from the communities <br />in the County and which would write out the guidelines of how the <br />grant sho~d be given out. <br /> <br />Co~mty A~ninistrator McGinley said the Joint Cooperative Agreement <br />must be in Washington by October 1, 1980. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilman M~ckelson and seconded by Councilman Sorteberg <br />to approve the Joint Cooperative Agreement regarding the Community <br />B]ock Gr~t Program for Anoka County and to authorize Mayor and City <br />A&~.nistrator to enter into contract for same. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
