Home My WebLink About4D - Planning Assistance Grant STAFF AGENDA REPORT DATE: 4D DONALD RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 97-X:X AUTHORIZING APPLICATION TO THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL FOR A PLANNING ASSIST ANCE GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $11,310.00. SEPTEMBER 2, 1997 AGENDA #: PREP ARED BY: SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION: Recent amendments to the Metropolitan Planning Act require cities to update their Comprehensive Plans by June, 1998. Many cities were concerned that this would be difficult to accomplish without financial resources and, as a consequence, the Legislature appropriated funds to be made available to municipalities through loans and grants to defray the cost of the required plan updates. The attached resolution will allow the City to receive $11,310.00 to assist us in the development of the plan amendments. DISCUSSION: As Council will recall, a letter to the Metropolitan Council from the City asking for consideration of a grant application for planning assistance funds was included in the August 15th Update. Because of the timing of the application submittal, this resolution was not available for Council on August 18th. Since then, we have received the attached letter informing us we have received tentative approval for a grant of $11,310.00, with the possibility of additional funds at a later date. The attached resolution authorizes City participation in the grant program. ISSUES: The issue is whether to accept the planning grant. ,We have already received notification of funds availability and the resolution is the next step in the process. The City must prepare amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and this grant will defray some of our costs in doing so. ALTERNATIVES: I.Approve the attached Resolution. 2.
