25 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS <br />26 This project should not impact the City's budget. As stated in the grant application, the <br />27 implementation of the public portion of this project (i.e. sidewalk along West Snelling Drive) is <br />28 not part of the City's Capital Improvements Sudget for 2009 or 2010. The full cost of this project <br />29 has been requested as part of the grant application. If it is not funded in full or actual costs <br />30 exceed the estimate, Aeon will seek additional outside funding sources. <br />31 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />32 Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution identifying need for LCDA <br />33 funding and allowing for the submission of a grant application. Sy submitting a grant application <br />34 to assist with the construction of both onsite and offsite improvements at Sienna Green, the City <br />35 is leveraging funds to assist with the construction a public sidewalk that would not otherwise get <br />36 built without this project. Many residents of this apartment complex rely on the public <br />37 transportation system or work at the service-sector businesses along Snelling Avenue. The <br />38 construction of a sidewalk along this frontage road would provide them a safe route to the bus <br />39 stops along Snelling Avenue and to area businesses. <br />4O REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />41 Adopt a resolution identifying the need for Livable Communities Demonstration Account <br />42 Funding and authorizing an application for grant funds. <br />43 <br />44 <br />Prepared by: Jamie Radel, Economic Development Associate <br />Attachments: A: Site Map <br />B: Letter from Gina Ciganik <br />C: Draft Resolution <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
