colored concrete. During our discussion at the meeting, we certainly understood that a ramp might not be included in plans to keep costs down, since the city's EDA was unable to offer more than a $5,000 grant.

When the EDA approved your grant application, it was under the understanding that there would be a stamped, colored concrete patio poured. It appears that you have poured a simple colored concrete patio, with no stamping or pattern. Additionally, in order to receive grant funds, you are required to be in good standing with the city. We have not yet received a plumbing permit for the new fixtures in his building which were required by Anoka County Health Department. We must receive this permit application, inspect the work and deem it to be satisfactory. Plumbing permits involving licensed food preparers may also need to be approved by the State of MN. Please consult with your plumber on this. On Tuesday, your tenet hosted a grand opening for his business. The lack of permitted and approved plumbing fixtures could jeopardize his license and occupancy permit. We are exited about the energy his business brings to our downtown, but we must meet basic health and safety requirements. Before we consider releasing grant funds, you must do the following: Pull the necessary permits for the work in the building. Have the work inspected and passed. Address the issue of underperformance on the work of the patio. I have contacted County Staff and we are preparing to draw the funds necessary to reimburse you for your grant -eligible expenses. We hope we can resolve the remaining issues and cut you a check soon. Thanks.
