l NVOI�' 6 1424-3 r 2 n 1 aX h 11 J 2 1)Y,S29 Memorandum Date: January 9, 2019 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Through: Mark R. Statz, City Administrator/City Engineer From: Bruce DeJong, Finance Director Item: Sponsorship of Community Development Block Grant City staff intends to submit a Community Development Block Grant application to Anoka County. The grant applications for this year are due January 11 at noon. The application will request a grant to cover some of the costs for low and moderate income residents in the project area of Progress, Sorel and Heritage streets east of Centerville Road and south of Main Street to have water service installed and connected to their property, along with storm water improvements and street replacement. The project area encompasses 4 commercial parcels and 21 residential parcels as shown on the map below. None of the parcels currently have city water service. The road surfaces and bases are in poor condition and there is no curb or gutter installed on the affected streets. Property owners who do not qualify as low or moderate income residents would be expected to pay their proportionate share of the water main, storm water improvements, and 25% of the costs of the street reconstruction. Staff is proposing that water mains be connected at Main Street and Centerville Road to existing mains and extended on all three streets in the project to serve all existing homes and commercial parcels. The expectation is that any funds received from a grant would go to reduce or eliminate assessments for the water main, Water Access Charge (WAC), water service (up to the curb stop), extension of water service into the home, meter, permit, and plumbing fees. 80
