<br />. <br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />Date: <br />To: <br />From: <br />Subject: <br /> <br />February 23, 2005 <br />Mayor, City Council & Staff <br />John W. Meyer - Finance Director <br />Updates <br /> <br />Update - Anoka County CDBG funds for the downtown study <br /> <br />Great News - The Community Development staff of Anoka County along with <br />the Management Committee of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority have <br />recommended approving $75,000 of our grant request (see attachment) for the <br />downtown study. On February 22, 2005, the full Anoka County Housing and <br />Redevelopment Authority Board will be conducting a public hearing on the <br />Management Committee recommendations and taking the appropriate action to <br />finalize the grant selection process. <br /> <br />Update - State Bonding Bill Request for Local Share of CSAH 14 Improvements <br /> <br />I formalized our request to our local legislators to sponsor a bill for the local share <br />of the CSAH 14 improvements and the local match for the transportation <br />enchantment grant. This bill should be popping up on the legislative "radar <br />screen" soon. The next step in the process will be to monitor the bill's progress. <br /> <br />Update - Sales Tax Exemption <br /> <br />To better match the schedule of the development of the joint police station, I <br />have also requested that the effective date of the sales tax exemption for the <br />construction of the joint police station be as soon as possible. Currently, the bill's <br />effective date is July 1, 2005. <br />
