As you can see in the attached information compiled by Public Works, the average traffic volume on 203rd Street east of Dunbar is 298 vehicles per day. The average traffic volume west of 203rd is 55 vehicles per day. Considering the fact that there are only four residences west of Dunbar on 203rd Street , the 55 VPD figure seems high. I can only assume the excess traffic relates to the 203rd Street Park . The overall traffic flows at this intersection do not warrant the installation of a 4-way stop. I have discussed this with the City Engineer and he agrees with this position. If you have any comment or question regarding this recom- mendation , feel free to contact me at your convenience.

In addition to the efforts described by Mr. Henricks relating to the Exchange Bank Building, the Citizens Committee has also taken a number of steps. The Committee has been able to secure the assistance and support from the Chamber of Commerce. The guest speakers at the November 10th Chamber dinner meeting were Dallas Haas, the developer of the Archer House in Northfield, and David Schreier, a local historian who gave a very interesting presentation on the history of the Exchange Bank Building. The Committee has also investigated a number of financial tools such as limited partner- ship, non profit agency, grants, tax credits, charitable gambling, fund raisers and the Community Development Corporation. Professional renovators are also being contacted to determine the minimum cost as needed to satisfy the "slums and blight" criteria. The major obstacle facing the Committee is the "chicken/egg" issue; that is, does the City determine the use and then seek a developer and financial needs; or, request RFPs and let the developer determine the use and financial needs. While the latter scenario seems most desirable, it poses the problem o ecomm ity enthusiasm without the ability to tell people what the final proposed use i going t be. The Committee is planning to host a meeting (tentatively set for December 1, 1992 at 7:00 P.M. at the Senior Center) with the HRA, Chamber of Commerce representatives, and the City Council to update the various groups, share information and seek direction. A formal invitation will be forthcoming. ,/944 o9 751.11r" Larry Thompson City Administrator cc: Citizens Preservation Committee file MEMO TO: LARRY THOMPSON SUBJECT: 1993 COMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT • DATE: NOVEMBER 10, 1992 In 1993, the City of Farmington will be the recipient of the 1993 CDBG entitlement funds in the estimated amount of $120,000. Attached is Lee Smith's letter and the CDBG application form from the Dakota County HRA. The completed application is to be submitted to the Dakota County HRA by December 30, 1992. I would suggest that the 1993 CDBG application be placed on the November 16, 1992 City Council agenda. The Council should request City department heads to make presentations for use of these funds at the December 7, 1992 Council meeting. At that meeting, the City Council should prioritize the uses of these funds, limiting the uses to three. I volunteer to complete the application form once the City has selected and prioritized the uses. This completed application form will be submitted to the Council for approval at the December 21, 1992 meeting. In an effort to update the City Council on the HRA progress for the renovation of the Exchange Bank building, I offer the following, the BRA has not, unfortunately, secured a developer for the renovation of the Exchange Bank Building. The HRA continues to pursue a developer for the building renovation. Dennis Gimmestad, Minnesota Historical Society Compliance Officer, informed me that the Exchange Bank Building can not be removed from the National Registry unless the architectural qualities of the building, which qualified it for listing, no longer exist. If there is an interest on the part of the HRA/City to demolish the building, a notice of such intent must be submitted to the Minnesota Historical Society. Mr. Gimmestad stated that the Minnesota Historical Society would take action to prevent the demolition of the building. However, Mr. Gimmestad felt the City/HRA would work with the Minnesota Historical Society in putting together an advisory team. This team would review the building and suggest possible uses for the building. The team would be composed of an architectural consultant, who would be the team leader, a representative from the Minnesota Historical Society and non-interested volunteers (people who do not have direct financial interest in the building) . This team normally consists of professionals in the business of construction, preservation and financial planning. They will review the building, meet interested citizens in the area and review the past history of the community. It normally takes two or three months for the team to complete their work. The cost for the team is $6,000 to $10,000. This cost could be borne by the unspent 1991 CDBG funds. In association with the Exchange Bank Building, the pursuit of a time extension deadline for demolition/repayment needs to be reviewed. Both HUD and the Dakota County HRA stated the City should submit a letter requesting an extension. This letter should note the past efforts by the HRA/City to secure a developer and their future plans for renovating the building. The letter should be presented to the Dakota County HRA in early January of 1993. The Farmington BRA is pursuing an answer to the question of the use of CDBG funds to assist in the exterior renovation of the Exchange Bank Building. HUD and Dakota County HRA have expressed their preliminary approval for the use of CDBG funds for the Exchange Bank renovation. The reasoning behind this position appears to be CDBG can be used to • assist in the elimination of blighted conditions. The renovation of the Bank exterior should qualify. The Farmington HRA should have a definite answer from HUD whether or not CDBG funds can be used for renovation of the Exchange Bank Building by the December 7, 1992 Council meeting. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me. *.ficobeeld Gerald A.

As always, the four communities in District #4 alternate years for CDBG funding. Hastings and Rosemount were funded last year, therefore funding will be allocated to activities in Farmington and Lakeville. This year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is requiring us to provide more detailed information for each activity. When filling out the application, please provide as much detail as possible regarding project locations (addresses if possible) and break down of amount of CDBG and any other funding to be used for each activity. We do not yet know the anticipated funding level for 1993. However, based on last year's funding level, District #4 will receive about $240,000 to be divided between the two communities. This amount will be adjusted up or down depending on the final funding level to be determined by December of January. Also, if any of the four District #4 communities wish to reprogram unexpended funds from previous CDBG grant years, now is the time to inform us of those changes. Otherwise reprogramming will not occur until next Fiscal Grant Year 1994. The completed applications and requests to reprogram unexpended funds are due back in our office by December 30. 1992. Please call me at 423- 8112, if you need assistance with filling out the application. We will be contacting you regarding a District #4 Committee meeting. Thank you. cc: Michael A.

A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF THE CITY OF FOR FISCAL YEAR 1993 DAKOTA COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of a s follows: 1. The City Administrator is authorized to submit the attached application to Dakota County for a Community Development Block Grant in Fiscal Year 1993. 2. The application is approved by the City Council and the Mayor and Deputy City Clerk are authorized to execute it on behalf of the City of 3. That the Dakota County HRA be designated as the administrative entity to carry out the program on behalf of the City. Adopted by the City Council of this d a y of , 19 . Ayes: Nayes: , Mayor ATTEST: , Deputy Clerk MEMO TO: LARRY THOMPSON SUBJECT: 1993 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT DATE: DECEMBER 1, 1992 I have listed the following departments recommendation for the use of the 1993 Community Development Block Grant funds. All proposals could qualify under the grant guidelines, however, a few (items 5,6,7 and 8) would call for surveys of the individuals in the area affected and their household incomes. Those indivi- duals who would qualify by income limits, for projects 5,6, and 8, could recieve the benefit of no assessments for the project costs. The bike trail, project 7, would call for completing the connection between Dakota County Estates and the Middle in the same year to qualify. Again, a survey would have to be performed to determine the benefit to moderate income individuals. This may be extremely difficult to accomplish. The list is as follows based on references by the 12/.,/ departments: 7/l) / Renovation of the Exchange Bank Building 2. Construction of a park setting on McVicker property or the area referred to as Farmington Green. L'. 3. Repair the Rambling river banks and bridge Complete the Second Street parking project 5. Sump pump discharge elimination and sewer rehabilitation in the original portion of the City. 6. Sanitary Sewer extensions to the Pine Knoll area to eliminate septic systems. 7. Construction of a bike/walking trail from the north to the Middle School. 8. City's share of a major sidewalk reconstruction program in area not included in CIP. Again, it would be difficult to prove benefit under projects 5-8, however, it. could be accomplished if there is sufficient time. The departments placedtile renovation of the Exchange Bank. Building as a top priority by reference. The HRA will be determining which use of the CDBG they will recommend to the City Council. I believe the boards recommendation to the City Council will be the same or similar to the departments as to the renovation of the Exchange Bank Buildings exterior. If these 1993 CDBG funds are used for the Exchange Bank Building, it should resolve the issue with the repayment of the 1989 and 1991 CDBG funds by the HRA and City. To summarize, project #1 qualifies for grant fund useage under elimination of blight. Projects #2 and 4 could qualify under economic development and elimination of blighted conditions. Projects #3 and 8 may qualify under public safety, however, under Projects 5,6 & 8 only those individuals who meet the low to moderate income limits would benefit. The individuals whose income disqualify them would be responsible for their share of the assessments for those projects. Project #7 would also have to be assessed with benefit proven for low to moderate income indivi- duals only. This may be difficult to prove when the trail passes through and is used by individuals who reside along the east side of Pilot, Knob Road. If here are any questions, ease feel free to contact me. - g/( Gerald A.

The Board would use the $120,000 to renovate the Exchange Bank Building and demolish the Larson Building (213 Oak Street) if this building should prove to be unrehabed, and the two buildings immediately north (340-342 3rd Street) of the Exchange Bank Building. The Exchange Bank Building represents the cornerstone of the downtown business district. The building provides the community the opportunity to preserve a vital link to their historic past. Under HUD guidelines, the preservation of buildings on the National Registry is an eligible use for CDBG Funds. 4 -40.44eld Gera d Henrica4Vks d. g'' HRA Executive Director cc: Development Committee MEMO TO: LARRY THOMPSON SUBJECT: 1993 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT DATE: DECEMBER 7, 1992 At their December 2, 1992 meeting, the HRA requested the Council allow the HRA to use the 1993 CDBG funds.

Henricks HRA Executive Director GAH/sm cc: HRA members Ernie Darflinger file MEMO TO: DEPARTMENT HEADS SUBJECT: CDBG REQUEST DATE: NOVEMBER 18, 1992 Please be advised that the City will receive approximately $120,000 in CDBG funds in 1993. The Council has requested that City staff submit potential projects for funding. Please submit your requests in writing no later than Monday, November 30th. The requests will be reviewed and presented to the Council for its consideration on December 7, 1992. Please note that projects must meet CDBG guidelines. Jerry Henricks can explain the guidelines and give you an idea whether the project would be eligible for funding. gfia4 b%614'4 Larry Thompson City Administrator cc: Mayor and Council file Citizens Preservation Commission MEMO TO: JERRY HENRICKS SUBJECT: CDBG FUNDS DATE: NOVEMBER 23, 1992 My suggestion for potential projects for CDBG funds would primarily be the renovation of the exterior of the Exchange Bank Building. Another, if eligible for funding, would be parking in the downtown. A third idea is to aid in the park setting development of a strip of land left by the demolition of the McVicker buildings. Thank you for your consideration of my ideas. Karen Finstuen Administrative Assistant cc: Larry Thompson file MEMO TO: JERRY HENRICKS SUBJECT: CDBG DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 1992 This memo is being sent to you to help you identify possible CDBG projects. As I understand it, projects to eliminate community health problems could be eligible. Two projects which could meet this criteria are: 1. Sump pump discharge elimination and sewer rehabilitation in the original portion of the City. 2. Sanitary sewer extensions to the Pine Knoll area to eliminate septic systems. Of these two projects, I would recommend a higher priority be placed on the first project. The City is currently working on a Facilities Plan with the MPCA for this project. A critical element is sewer rehab and/or sump pump elimination to reduce sewage bypassing and/or flooding of basements associated with high water levels. Recent testing of bypass discharges indicate an imminent health hazard which may cause the MPCA to review this in detail. I would be able to assist you if you need more clarification. Tho aldunski Public Works Director cc: file Larry Thompson TJK MEMO TO: JERRY HENRICKS SUBJECT: CDBG DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 1992 I have the following recommendations for the 1993 CDBG Funds. By priority, they are: 1. Repair the outside of the Exchange Bank Building. 2. Repair flood damage to river bank and pedestrian bridge in Rambling River Park. 3. Construct a bike/walking trail from the north to the Middle School. James Bell Parks and Recreation Director MEMO TO: LARRY THOMPSON SUBJECT: 1995 CDBG DATE: APRIL 8, 1993 Lee Smith informed me today, it is his understanding that Community Development Block Grant funds could be used on a City wide sidewalk project. The eligible costs for CDBG funding would be restricted to the construction of handicapped accessible sidewalk ramps to meet ADA requirements. The project must be constructed meeting all Davis-Bacon regulations. If the City intends to use the 1995 CDBG funds for the sidewalk project, it would be advisable to obtain HUD guidelines and pro- cedures to follow far the project in 1994. This would allow the City Engineer opportune time to include any additional cost factors or requirements into his plans and specifications. The second question on CDBG funds usage related to providing financial relief for an elderly woman on 4th Street. She was having a problem meeting her assessment costs for the 4th Street improvement. Under CDBG regulations, for the project to be eligible for financial assistance, the project had to meet all Davis-Bacon requirements. If the project does not meet these requirements no CDBG funds may be used for the project. Secondly, all low income individuals assessed for projects must be relieved of the assessment obligation also. Lee Smith stated he will talk with the individuals in his office and HUD to determine if they may have any funds available for this elderly woman or if the HRA has any funds available to assist. He will let me know next week. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me. "44.424147X WssfrAoce:Ad Gerald A.
