NORTH METRO 1-35W CORRIDOR COALITION <br /> 8525 Edinbrook Crossing, Suite#5 <br /> Brooklyn Park, MN 55443 <br /> \v/ <br /> MEMO <br /> DATE: April 25, 2001 <br /> TO: Mayors and City Managers <br /> FROM: Joseph Strauss <br /> RE: Coalition HousingResource Center <br /> The Coalition Board approved the creation of a Coalition HousingResource CenterTm upon <br /> recommendation of the Community Development Committee. (See attached copy of Board Minutes <br /> from March 28, 2001.) <br /> Further the Board instructed your Administrator to revise the 2001-2002 city membership fee schedule <br /> to reflect the deletion of Blaine as a participating member. Blaine representatives reported that the city <br /> was under contract with a vendor providing similar services and requested that they be not included in <br /> the HRC program for the present. <br /> This required that GMMHC resubmit a revised 2001-2002 operating budget recognizing the fact that <br /> Coalition HousingResource CenterT`xproducts and services provided by GMMHC would not be <br /> provided to Blaine residents during the first year of operation. Also,the Board's motion included the <br /> qualification that the Board will review and determine future membership fee schedules for HRC on an <br /> annual basis. <br /> The enclosed Coalition 2001-2002 Membership Fee Schedule for the HRC is structured using a formula <br /> comprised of two components; namely: 1)Households over 30 years old and 2)Households valued at <br /> under$120K. Both factors are used as a percent of total single-family household in member cities. The <br /> combined number is then factored against a dollar amount representing the member city share of the <br /> total operating budget for 2001-2002 ($75,000). Note,that the City of Coon Rapids is also contributing <br /> $50,000 against the operating costs for the HRC. This number was derived using a comparative formula <br /> approach based on population, net tax capacities and household factors. <br /> As you approach this funding decision note that the HRC operating year(July 2001 through June 2002) <br /> includes two fiscal years for member cities. This will give you some flexibility in managing your <br /> individual membership fee payment. For instance, a city could make its full membership fee payment <br /> for 2001-2002 participation in either 2001 or 2002 or spread its payment over said time period as it <br /> might chose best for budgetary purposes.
