r <br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL— MAY 14, 2001 ;it T 6 <br /> D. N. M. I-35 W Corridor Coalition,Coalition Housing Resource Center Creation <br /> Mr. Lynch stated the city is being asked to contribute to a resource for existing or potential <br /> residents. He noted it would be a one-stop shop for information on the construction, financing, <br /> and permitting process. He added the City of Roseville has such a resource and finds it <br /> successful. He stated it helps residents find out how to do improvements and raise financing. <br /> He noted the City of Blaine has opted out of this because it has already contracted to provide <br /> similar functions. <br /> Mayor Probst stated Blaine is under contract for another two years. He noted Coon Rapids has <br /> asked to participate and will provide $50,000 this year. He noted Roseville has a successful <br /> program. He added the total annual budget is $600,000 and the remaining money would come <br /> from grants. He stated he speaks strongly in favor of this program. He noted it is a non- <br /> budgeted item. He noted it is a one stop shop for housing issues whether a person is looking to <br /> add on or if building to suit. He added they assist in finding funding and contractors, etc. He <br /> stated all communities that are participating have found this to be very successful. He noted he <br /> feels it is an asset for our residents. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski asked if it was a qualified program. Mayor Probst responded there <br /> are no qualifications for receiving help. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski asked about promotion. Mayor Probst responded there has not been <br /> a lot of discussion on how it would be promoted. He stated he presumes they could do it with the <br /> newsletter. He noted he was not sure about a mass mailing. He added the City of Roseville has <br /> done some promotion through other means. He stated he has seen handouts. <br /> Councilmember Larson stated he thought one of the items to come out of their participation in <br /> the coalition was they would have a housing code to use. <br /> Ms. Chaput stated this standard is being worked on. <br /> Councilmember Larson asked how much use they would get out of this service in the absence of <br /> a housing code. Mayor Probst responded there were recently two instances where citizens with <br /> problems concerning their homes used a lot of staff time. He stated staff spent time working <br /> with the individuals trying to help them solve their problems. He noted this resource center <br /> could have handled those issues. He added they do have some areas in the community ripe for <br /> modifications. He stated rather than have them struggle through process they could go here and <br /> get ideas on how to solve those problems. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated the letter references a number of handouts, but does not say what <br /> the organization is going to do, what its mission is, and why it was created. He noted while it is <br /> good to hear from the coalition that he would like to see documents on the purpose of the <br /> resource center. He asked about assistance for those in violation. Mayor Probst responded in <br /> City of Roseville when violation letters are sent they send the telephone number of the center <br /> where people are sent to get help to solve their problems. <br />
