06-25-79 agendaHOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Office of Executive Director Housing and Redevelopment Authority Commissioners City of Richfield Dear Commissioners: HRA Letter No. 27 Agenda June 25, 1979 ~ _ ~~ ems.-,-1ra. ~~ S -~ Subject: Authorization to Execute Contract Agreement with U. S. Department of HUD On November 27, 1978, the HRA authorized submission of an application to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Devel- opment for bonus community development funds. That application sought $162,500 in C.D. monies to be used for the acquisition, relocation and demolition of five sub-standard homes. The cleared sites are to be resold to a developer for construction of single family, rent-assisted homes under the Section 8 New Construction Program. In February, 1979, the HRA authorized developer David Ames to submit an application to the Minnesota Housing Agency for the Section 8 New Construction Program financing. The MHFA approved the developer's proposal in late April, 1979, and this proposal is now being reviewed by the Department of HUD. We recently received word that the Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved the HRA's grant application for bonus community development funds, in the amount of $162,500. However, before these funds can be released to the HRA, it is nec- essary that an environmental review record for each of the sites to be included in the program must be compiled, and a notice of no significant findings in reference to this environmental review be published. This notice of no significant environmental find- ings for each of the five sites was published in the Richfield Sun on June 13, 1979. There is a fifteen-day response period for this notice, which will expire on June 28, 1979. It is also necessary that the HRA execute a contract agree- ment with the Department of Housing and Urban Development before final release of the funds. It is recommended that the HRA authorize the Acting Executive Director to execute this agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, so that we might request release of the grant monies as 5~on as the waiting period for the environmental notice terminates. A copy of the . ~ HRA Letter No. 27 -2- June 25, 1979 letter from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, notifying us that our grant application has been approved, and the proposed contract agreement with the Department of HUD, is attached.
