these HRC membership fee amounts in this years' budget, as the project was not finally authorized until <br /> March 2001. <br /> Enclosed with this memorandum find the CDC's recommendation to the Board and a copy of <br /> GMIVIHC's proposal for your files. The location for the HRC has not been determined as of the writing <br /> of this memorandum. However, 2 sites are in the running, one in Shoreview and another in Mounds <br /> View. <br /> GMMHC (through the Coalition)has submitted a grant application to Ramsey County for$50K(CDBG <br /> funds)to help support HRC operating costs. All indications are that the county will approve this <br /> request. GMMHC also has submitted a grant request to the Bush Foundation. This grant, if approved, <br /> would be a three-year funding grant to GMMHC in the amount of$215,000 for all of its RRCs. A <br /> portion of these dollars(approximately 25%of the total grant received)would be dedicated to the <br /> Coalition's HousingResource CenterTmoperationover the next 3-year period. In the near term <br /> GMMHC will submit grant requests to both the Wilder Foundation and the McKnight Foundation <br /> seeking funding support for the Coalition's HRC. Depending on the success generated from these <br /> various funding applications future Coalition membership HRC fee structure could be reduced. Results <br /> from these activities will be part of the board consideration when it revisits the HRC program <br /> membership fee charge for future years. <br /> The goal remains to have the Coalition's HousingResource CenterTmoperatingby July 1. Note, <br /> however,that GMMHC is tentatively scheduled to begin delivering services and product to the residents <br /> of the City of Coon Rapids in May from its Northeast Minneapolis HRC, as Coon Rapids wants to get <br /> the program started as soon as possible. <br /> Action Requested: <br /> Members, except the city of Blaine,are requested to seek council approval to participate in the <br /> Coalition's HousingResource CenterTmprogram and consent to the 2001-2002 membership fee <br /> schedule. Once members have processed this request, and assuming, concurrent unanimous approval, <br /> HRC membership fee invoices will be tendered consistent with city payment instructions. FYI the cities <br /> of Roseville and Shoreview have already acted favorably on this program. <br /> If you need additional information or prefer a formal presentation to your respective city councils please <br /> advise. <br /> TTt T_4GW1HTl TT.CTNRi NT?t' MPP MTl TO f TTTFR d_96_At "nC <br />
