RESOLUTION IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR LIVABLE COMMUNITIES
DEMONSTRATION ACCOUNT FUNDING AND AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR
GRANT FUNDS
WHEREAS, the City of Edina ("City") is a participant in the Livable Communities Act's Local
Housing Incentives Account Program for 2021 as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is
therefore eligible to apply for Livable Communities Demonstration Account funds; and
WHEREAS, the City has identified a proposed project within the City that meets the
Demonstration Account's purposes and criteria and is consistent with and promotes the purposes of
the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act and the policies of the Metropolitan Council's adopted
metropolitan development guide; and

adequate project administration; and

stated in the grant agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City agrees to act as legal sponsor for the project contained in the grant
application submitted on September 26, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the City acknowledges Livable Communities Demonstration Account grants are
intended to fund projects or project components that can serve as models, examples or prototypes for
development or redevelopment projects elsewhere in the region, and therefore represents that the
proposed project or key components of the proposed project can be replicated in other metropolitan-
area communities; and
WHEREAS, only a limited amount of grant funding is available through the Metropolitan
Council's Livable Communities Demonstration Account during each funding cycle and the Metropolitan
Council has determined it is appropriate to allocate those scarce grant funds only to eligible projects
that would not occur without the availability of Demonstration Account grant funding.

consideration, the governing body of the City:
• Finds that it is in the best interests of the City's development goals and priorities for the proposed
