Mrs. Alison Fuhr and Mr. ' accident prevention performance in Traffic Safety Education, Enforcement and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BONUS FUNDS APPLICATION RECONSIDERED; FUNDS APPROVED. APPLICATION FOR The Mayor recalled that at the Council Meeting of June 2, 1980, the motion that application for Community Development Bonus Funds be submitted was defeated on a two to two tie vote. He said that in talking with the City Attorney, who felt that there had been some commitments made to proceed with the request for the funds, it was decided to bring this matter back for Council's reconsideration. The Mayor referred to concerns expressed at the June 2 Meet- ing that receipt of the funds would automatically,insure the approval of,fhe Crosstown Development project which is proposed to be located South of W. 70th Street, West of Cah;ill Road and Southeast of Cahill Elementary School and empha- sized that the definite conditions made at the April 7, 1980, Council Meeting must be met before final approval is granted. City apply for the funds in order to meet timing requirements established by HUD, ad said that if the project is not ultimately approved, the funds would be returned to HUD. The Xayor referred to the fact that Councilman Richards is out of town and that he had concurred with the decision to bring the matter back for Council's reconsideration. ter with Councilman Bredesen. Mr. Steve Winnick, Chairman of the Lewis Park Neighborhood Associatioy, made a number of objections regarding the procedures followed with respect to the reconsideration of the denial of the application for Bonus Funds, asking 1) whether the Mayor or any other Council Member who did not vote on the prevailing side of the June 2, 1980, motion could initiate reconsideration proceedings; 2) is there authority for reconsideration without new notice being given; 3) is there authority for the City Nanager to forward the application for Bonus Funds after the Council had voted to deny submitting the application; 4) is it proper for the City Manager to state in a letter to HUD that a resolution authorizing the application would follow; cation (if approved at this meeting) be submitted without a copy of the June 2, 1980, Minutes denying the authorization, and, if so, can the officer signing the application on behalf of the City properly certify that the application has been duly authorized by the Council; and 6) what kind of precedent is being created if each of the questions is answered "yes". Mr. Winnick reiterated his objections which were raised at the meeting of June 2, 1980. Mayor Van Valken- burg said that the Council had never adopted dny set of rules under which to proceed, believing that it is alwsys in the best interest of everyone concerned to arrive at decisions in the easiest possible manner without getting snarled in procedures and that HUD had said that the application could be submitted and the resolution authorizing the application could be sent in at a later date. City Attorney Erickson said that the Council has the power to regulate its own pro- cedures and that the City has been advised that it could decide on.the applica- tion subsequent to the hearing date. The Mayor emphasized that the City is not trying to circumvent HUD's'rules. Mr. Henry Hyatt, representing Crossroads Development, recalled that he had not been aware of the June 2, 1980, Council Meeting either and recalled that at the time their present proposal was pre- sented, the Council was advised that these Metropolitan Council Bonus Funds would be necessary if Council's conditions were to be met. He said that he would be presenting the total package to Council at one time. Mrs. Donna Scud- der, President of the Edina League of Women Voters, commented on the League's long term interest in public housing and requested that the Council reconsider ~ .

Mr. Winnick asked that the Plinutes reflect that Councilman Bredesen did not move for the reconsideration of the request for funds, that no specific procedures have been formally adopted for the handling of a question like this and that Councilmen Bredesen and Richards were on the prevailing side at the last meeting and that neither had moved for the reconsideration of this matter. Mr. Larry Youngblood, 7205 Lanham Lane, said that he concurs with statements made by Mr. Winnick and emphasized that ''projects'' are something that should be carefully guarded against. He said that momentum must not get in the way of prudence and that Council should be sure to do what is appropriate and consistent. In response to a question of Mrs. Alison Fuhr, Councilman Bredesen said that his concern about the possible re-sale of the project for market rate units came from his per- spective that perhaps too much money is being given to one developer for one project, when the same money can buy more units elsewhere in the City (whether or not it is for profit.) He clarified that his concern was for the amount of profit per subsidized unit basis that would be allowed to Crossroads Develop- ment and also questioned if it is proper to give public moneys directly to private entepreneurs. the subsidy itself'' that he was questioning. Mrs. Sus'an Johnson, 7105 Lan- ham Lane, asked if procedures followed tonight mean that at a future meeting any member of the Council could, at any time, bring up the preliminary approval of the Crossroads Development project for review. that this would be possible. following, rather than setting, a precedent. As recommended by the Mayor, Councilwoman Schmidt offered the following resolution and moved its adoption, with the clear understanding that none of the conditions or expectations that Council had previously set forth are being changed: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the Department of Housfng and Urban Development has funds available under the Community Development Block Grant Program Bonus Funds; and WHERF,AS,' the Department of Housing and Urban Development is requesting applica- tions for use of'such funds; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Edina City Council does hereby authorize and direct the City Manager to prepare, sign and submit Application for Com- munity Development Block Grant Program Bonus Funds.

Council's atten.tion was called to a letter from Ms. Mary Lou Mathison, 4501 Grimes Ave. , wishing to add her comments to an article in the Edina Sun in which objections had been raised about the lack of enforce- ment of the ordinances on dog control, both in the parks and on private property. Mr. Rosland recommended that cards be printed that the meter readers could hang . on doorknobs as they make their rounds, which would emphasize ordinance restric- tions.
