City of New Brighton, Cont. <br />Enclosed with this letter is a listing of the grants awarded to the City of New Brighton through the <br />LCA and a list of projects the City applied for, but where funding was not awarded. See <br />Enclosure B. <br />To make official the City's decision to continue participation in the LCA, the Metropolitan Council <br />is asking the City to adopt these new affordable and life -cycle housing goal ranges, by passing a <br />resolution that incorporates the numbers described above. A sample resolution is enclosed: <br />however, the City may craft the resolution in the manner that best meets its needs as long as the <br />affordable and life -cycle goals are part of the resolution. The Council asks that the City pass a <br />resolution and provide a copy to the Council no later than September 1, 2010. See Enclosure C. <br />Additionally, before December 1, 2010 the City must develop a Housing Action Plan outlining the <br />steps the City will take to help meet its LCA goals. Much, if not all of this Action Plan can be taken <br />from the housing implementation section of the City's Comprehensive Plan Update. A checklist to <br />assist in the development of the Housing Action Plan is attached as Enclosure D. <br />We have also attached an information item about the LCA, (Enclosure E), and additional <br />information is available on the Council's website at <br />http://www.metrocouncil.org/planning/index.htm <br />The LCA emphasizes cooperation and incentives to achieve goals. The Metropolitan Council looks <br />forward to continuing to work with the City through its continued voluntary participation in the <br />LCA to continue to meet the affordable and life -cycle housing needs of the City and the region. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information please feel free to contact your Council <br />staff Sector Representative, Susan Hoyt, at (651) 602-1330 or susan.hoyt@mete.state.mn.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Guy Peterson, <br />Director, Community Development Division <br />Metropolitan Council <br />Enclosures for the City of New Brighton: <br />A: 1996 to 2010 LCA Goals <br />B: Funded and unfunded LCA projects/grants <br />C: Sample city resolution <br />D: Housing Action Plan checklist <br />E: Information on the LCA <br />cc: Susan Hoyt, Sector Representative <br />
