RESOLUTION APPROVING ONE (1) BROOKLYN CENTER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
GRANT (FILE NO. H64)
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Amending the Brooklyn Center
Rehabilitation Grant Program Guidelines. He noted this amendment would increase
the maximum grant from $8,250 to $10,000 to be consistent with Hennepin County
guidelines. He noted this figure has not changed in approximately six years.
Commissioner Theis inquired how many grants go up to the maximum. The EDA
Coordinator stated he would guess approximately 40% of the grants go to the
maximum. He noted some come in above the maximum and then items must be deleted
7 -11 -88 -1-
which are not health and safety items. Commissioner Hawes stated he wished more
consideration would be given to only giving a percentage of the grant amount to
people who have just purchased these homes. The EDA Coordinator stated this is
one item that will be reviewed when the Housing Commission starts meeting in the
fall. Commissioner Lhotka inquired if it would be possible to find out if the
work being done on these homes is increasing the owner's property value and
giving them a better selling price. The EDA Coordinator stated when a home is
improved it must be brought up to the section 8 standards. He stated he thought
it may be possible to do some comparisons to find out if these rehabilitated
homes that have been sold were sold for a higher price.
RESOLUTION NO. 88 -14
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE BROOKLYN CENTER HOME REHABILITATION GRANT PROGRAM
GUIDELINES
