1 Red Wing Housing & Redevelopment Authority 428 West Fifth Street, Red Wing, MN Telephone (651) FAX (651) TDD/TTY April To: From: Subject: Red Wing Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board of Commissioners Randal Hemmerlin, Executive Director First Lutheran Church- Minnesota Nice $5,000 Background: The First Lutheran Church is requesting $5,000 in a Community Development Grant. The grant funds will be used in an event called Minnesota Nice. Individuals and youth from Red Wing will spend a weekend performing hands-on home repair projects for elderly, low-income and disabled families. The event would be held June 23-26, Analysis: First Lutheran Church has experience in projects like Minnesota Nice through work in other states. They are planning to bring this experience home to Red Wing and work with the youth here to help the Red Wing Community. The service they provide will be free of charge to the recipient. Three Red Wing churches are contributing $2,000 each for this project and Thrivent is contributing $500 for food costs. The remaining $8,500 will come from student participation fees (A telephone call clarified these amounts.) Our $5,000 grant will be part of the $20,000 in Sources. First Lutheran has provided a Balance Sheet for the project: As of March 16, 2016 Current Liabilities Current (Payroll and SIMPLE) $0.00 Fund Balance $6, Total Fund Balance $0.00 First Lutheran has provided a Budget. The budget shows all funds being used during the project. Please see the attached application for the detailed budget. Sources $20,000 The application states that the Church would like to repeat the Minnesota Nice project in Red Wing every three years, so it makes sense that the budget completely uses all funds. We would not enter into a five-year grant agreement with First Lutheran Church. The grant agreement would be written so that First Lutheran would need to show receipts for the materials purchased equal to the amount of the grant. The time frame would be short as the project is over by the end of June, The application is attached to this report. Budget impact: The HRA Board of Commissioners allocated $40,000 in Community Development Grant Funds for $12,000 in funds are still available. Recommendation: Staff and the Finance Committee give a favorable approvabie to the HRA Board of Commissioners to approve a $5,000 Community Development grant to First Lutheran Church with a grant agreement that indicated the manner in which the funds could be expended but no compliance term to be enforced for payback and to authorize the Executive Director to execute the documents.
