RESOLUTION 05-133
A RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR
LIVABLE COMMUNITIES DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDING AND
AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS
Second By: Fleming
Motion By: Zieska
WHEREAS, The City of Prior Lake is a participant in the Livable Communities Act's Housing
Incentives Program for 2005 as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is
therefore eligible to apply for Livable Communities Demonstration Account funds; and
WHEREAS, The City has identified a proposed project within the City that meets the Demonstration
Account's purposes and criteria and is consistent with and promotes the purposes of
the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the Metropolitan Council's
adopted metropolitan development guide; and
WHEREAS, The City has the institutional, managerial and financial capability to ensure adequate
project administration; and
WHEREAS, The City certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations as stated in
the grant agreement; and
WHEREAS, The City agrees to act as legal sponsor for the project contained in the grant application
submitted on June 30, 2005; and
WHEREAS, The City acknowledges Livable Communities Demonstration Account grants are
intended to fund projects or project components that can serve as models, examples or
prototypes for development or redevelopment projects elsewhere in the region, and
therefore represents that the proposed project or key components of the proposed
project can be replicated in other metropolitan-area communities; and
WHEREAS, Only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the Metropolitan Council's
Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and the
Metropolitan Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant
funds only to eligible projects that would not occur "but for" the availability of
Demonstration Account grant funding.
