McElveen, Deputy Director, Community Development DiviSiO~ <br />Certification of 1998 ALHOA <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Thank you for your participation in the 1998 Metropolitan Livable Communities Act (LCA) program. <br />Your community's commitment and involvement has contributed to the region's overall economic <br />competitiveness and made tangible progress in providing affordable and life-cycle housing for metro area <br />residents. <br /> <br />Looking ahead to 1999, the Metropolitan Council seeks your community's renewed participation and <br />continued cooperation in Livable Communities efforts. As part of the LCA legislation, the Council <br />annually notifies each community of its "Affordable and Life-cycle Housing Opportunities Amount <br />(ALHOA)". The ALHOA is derived from the formula prescribed in law including market value, tax <br />capacity and tax rates by the county assessor. It is an amount of local expenditure to support or assist the <br />development of affordable and life-cycle housing or maintain and preserve such housing. The enclosed <br />ALHOA is the amount of local expenditure expected of the community during 1998. <br /> <br />Communities have some flexibility in determining which local expenditures fulfill the ALHOA <br />contribution. Examples include local dollars for housing assistance, development or rehabilitation <br />programs, local housing inspection and code enforcement, or local taxes to support a local or county <br />lIRA. <br /> <br />Incentives for your community's renewed participation include access to $11 million for housing <br />development, clean-up of polluted sites for business and housing development, and mixed use <br />development. Also, your community's ALHOA expenditure will be reported in the Council's Annual <br />Housing Report Card required by the LCA. <br /> <br />Your community's intent to participate in the 1999 Metropolitan Livable Communities program is needed <br />by Nov. 15. To help you in the preparation, a model resolution is enclosed. Planning assistance for staff <br />or information presentations for elected officials are available by contacting your sector representative <br />(see below). Questions about the ALHOA can be referred to Guy Peterson at 602-1418. <br /> <br />We look forward to continuing our regional commitment to affordable and life-cycle housing. Thank you <br />for your consideration. <br /> <br />Sector Representatives: <br /> <br />Anoka, Washington, and Ramsey Counties <br />Dakota, Carver and Scott Counties <br />Hennepin County <br />Minneapolis and St. PJiul <br /> <br />Guy Peterson <br />Carl Schenk <br />Torn Caswell <br />John Kari <br /> <br />651-602-1418 <br />651-602-1410 <br />651-602-1319 <br />651-602-1548 <br /> <br />V:\LIBRARY\COMMUNDV\Kruger\PETERSON\ALHOA Itr to new part 98.doc <br />2:30 East Fifth Street St. Pa,,1. :v1lnnesota 55]0 )-163..
