Program on September 4, September 17 and October 2, 1979; and

Plan and Program including particularly (1) the availability and afforda-
bility of other government housing programs; (2) the availability and
affordability of private market financing for the acquisition of existing
and newly constructed housing units; (3) an analysis of population and
employment trends and projections of future population trends and future
employment needs; (4) the recent housing trends of the City of St. Louis
Park and future housing needs in the City of St. Louis Park and (5) an
analysis of how the program will meet the needs of low and moderate
income persons and families residing and expected to reside in the°C,ity
of St. Louis Park, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has further considered (1) the amount, timing
and sale of bonds to finance the estimated amounts of mortgage loans to
be made under the program, to fund the appropriate reserves and to pay
the costs of issuance; (2) the number and qualifications of lenders
eligible to participate in the program; (3) the method for monitoring
the implementation by participants to insure that the program is con-
sistent with the Housing Plan of the City of St. Louis Park and its
objectives; (4) the method of administering, servicing and supervising
the program; (5) the cost to the City of St. Louis Park, including
future administrative expenses; (6) the restrictions on the purchase
prices of housing units to be financed under the program and the limit
on mortgage loan amounts to be provided thereunder; (7) the maximum
permitted income of persons or families receiving financing under the
program; and (8) certain other limitations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of St. Louis Park hereby
adopts the Housing Plan and Program 1979-1981 and authorizes the City
Manager to transmit said Housing Plan and Program to the Metropolitan
