CITY OF SHOREWOOD
RESOLUTION NO. 95 - ~
A RESOLUTION REQUESTING INCREASED
LOCAL FLEXIBILITY IN THE USE OF CDBG FUNDS
WHEREAS, the City of Shorewood through execution
of a Joint Cooperation Agreement with Hennepin County, is
cooperating in the Urban Hennepin County Community
Development Block grant Program (CDBG); and
WHEREAS, the City of Shorewood developed a
proposal for the use of Urban Hennepin County CDBG funds made
available to it, and held a public hearing to obtain the
views of the citizens on local needs and priorities; and
WHEREAS, the Southshore Senior Center using CDBG
funds has for many years provided a valuable service to the
elderly of our community; and
WHEREAS, the Federal mandate limiting the amount
of Urban County CDBG funds available for eligible services to
only 15% of the total available has this year created a major
funding crisis for our local Southshore Senior Center and
will see a decline in services available; and
WHEREAS, the City of Shorewood understands local
conditions and needs better than H.U.D.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City
Council of the City of Shorewood requests Congress and the
President of the United States to remove the 15% mandate or
allow increased local flexibility in the percentage of CDBG
funds allowed to be allocated for services to eligible
persons.
PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 10th day of April, 1995.
