� . <br /> � ORONO COUNCIL MEETTNG HELD DECEMBER 13, I976 Page 11 <br /> � This program was established in 1974 by Hennepin BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM <br /> County. The municipalities who entered into (Conti�ued) <br /> this joint powers agreement at that time have <br /> received monies this year. The formula used <br /> for allocations is based primarily on population <br /> � rather than need. �ne of the requirements <br /> � brought to light at the last meeting is that a <br /> certain percentage of the monies received must <br /> � be spent on low cost housing. The larger <br /> municipali.ties are the only ones which can assume <br /> � suchan undertaking and with the high costs of <br /> construction and land, they are not able to <br /> i proceed. Therefore, the larger municipalities <br /> � have recommended a new formula to set up a <br /> contingency fund from which they might draw <br /> � additional funds to complete their low cost <br /> housing projects. <br /> • <br /> The smaller municipalities can use their monies <br /> • for parks, maintaining areas of low cost housing, <br /> . such as providing sewer and water, also day <br /> care centers and nursing provisions care. <br /> � I would note here that Orono must provide a.ts <br /> � citizens with adequate in£ormation concerning <br /> the amount of funds which are available and <br /> • what community development and housing acta.vities <br /> �ay be undertaken with them. <br /> � If we are to continue with this program, we <br /> are required to hold two public hearings to <br /> � determine where the funds are to be spent. <br /> I recommend t�e foliowing dates for the pubZic <br /> � hearings: January 10 and January 11, I977 at <br /> 7:00 P.M. <br /> • <br /> Alassengale moved, Butler seconded, to schedule <br /> � public hearings for the Block Grant Program for <br /> � January 10 and January 11, 1977 at 7:00 P.r�i. <br /> Motion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0) . <br /> • <br /> � Butler moved, Massengale seconded, to approve the GOLF COURSE AGREEMENT <br /> Golf Course Agreement with Ron Stetfenhagen, Ron Steffenhagen <br /> • subject to page #1, Termination, one day notice, <br /> � aotiongeAyes (5) £feNayse(p�ovenant agrees. <br /> r <br /> � Butler moved, WeZsh seconded, to approve th� SALARY INCREASE <br /> salary increase for Wayne Shellum from $1,033. 84 Wayne SheZlum <br /> A per month to $1,070. 32 per month� effective <br /> �tober 5, 1976.
