WHEREAS only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the Metropolitan <br />Council's Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and the <br />Metropolitan Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant funds <br />only to eligible projects that would not occur without the availability of Demonstration <br />Account grant funding. <br />NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, after appropriate examination and due <br />consideration, the governing body of the City: <br />1. Finds that it is in the best interests of the City's development goals and priorities for <br />the proposed project to occur at this particular site and at this particular time. <br />2. Finds that the project component(s) for which Livable Communities Demonstration <br />Account funding is sought: <br />(a) will not occur solely through private or other public investment within the <br />reasonably foreseeable future; and <br />(b) will not occur within two years after a grant award unless Livable Communities <br />Demonstration Account funding is made available for this project at this time. <br />3. Represents that the City has undertaken reasonable and good faith efforts to procure <br />funding for the proj ect component for which Livable Communities Demonstration <br />Account funding is sought but was not able to find or secure from other sources <br />funding that is necessary for project component completion within two years and <br />states that this representation is based on the following reasons and supporting facts: <br />4. Authorizes its City Manager to submit on behalf of the City an application for <br />Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant funds for <br />the project compon�nt(sj identified in the application, and to execute such <br />agreements as may be necessary to implement the project on behalf of the City. <br />Adopted this _ day of ,2006, <br />
