VIII B-/ � J Me o To: Mayor Werner and City Council From: Matthew Weiland, City Planner Subject: Resolution-Reallocation and amendment of 2000 Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)Programs Date: 3/3/00 I am proposing a slight amendment to the Hastings 2000 CDBG Programs. This amendment will not change the funding of any programs. It will only change the time at which money is made available to the programs. The programs involved are the Senior Housing Site Acquisition Program and the 1999 Street Assessment program. The reason for the change is to have more money available at this time for the City to work with the Dakota County CDA on locating an appropriate location for a new Senior Housing Project. The proposed amendment is to reallocate$27,226.00 from the 1999 street assessment abatement program to the Senior Housing Site Acquisition fund. This years (2000) CDBG program budget would then be amended by eliminating funds to the Senior Housing Site Acquisition program and would instead increase funds for street assessment abatement by that same $27, 226.00 reallocated to the Senior Housing Site Acquisition program. Funds will not be required for the 1999 Street assessment until next year, since the City Council will not vote on the final assessment until fall 2000. I am also proposing that the City pass a resolution reallocating funds the City committed to the Hastings Housing Coalition Healthy families Center last year. This project has been set back for a while, so I would also propose reallocating these funds until the project becomes feasible again. At that time,the City could allocate future CDBG funds to the project. I would propose reallocating these funds to the•Senior Housing site acquisition. The City will work closely with the Dakota County HRA to build a new Senior Housing site in Hastings within the next 10 years. The City also has$7,950.00 from a past City CDBG revolving loan program. I would propose adding these funds to the Emergency Utility Replacement Fund. The following tables display the breakdown of 2000 CDBG Funds, past projects, and proposed 2000 CDBG Programs with new total funds.
