City of Plymouth 763-509-5129 City, Rotary partner to offer free CPR/AED training Plymouth, Minn. – Thanks to its continued popularity, four additional Heart Safe Plymouth training sessions have been announced – 7-8 p.m. Wednesdays May 3, May 17, June 7 and June 21 on the second floor of the Plymouth Public Safety Building, 3400 Plymouth Blvd, adjacent to City Hall. A partnership between the City of Plymouth Public Safety Department and Rotary Club of Plymouth, the free trainings teach bystander CPR and AED use to the public. Register for CPR/AED Training Space is limited to 30 participants per training session and registration is required. Due to the popularity of the training sessions and limited space, early registration is encouraged. To register, visit heartsafeplymouth.eventbrite.com. About the Training Sessions The one-hour training sessions are open to teenagers and adults who are interested in learning to help save lives. Participants can learn hands-only CPR, which teaches chest compressions without mouth-to- mouth breaths, as well as the use of an AED. An AED, or Automated External Defibrillator, is a portable electronic device that automatically detects disturbances in the rhythm of a heartbeat and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm. Heart Safe Plymouth Background The City of Plymouth was designated a Heart Safe Community in 2013 by the American Heart Association. The program recognizes efforts by individual communities to improve their system for preventing deaths caused by sudden cardiac arrest. Rotary Club of Plymouth began holding free CPR and AED training sessions in 2012 and has helped train more than 3,800 Plymouth residents and businesspeople. Sponsors include Heart Safe communities through AHA, Minnesota Department of Health and Allina Health. Businesses groups and organizations can obtain more information or schedule a free training. For more information, email heartsafeplymouth@gmail.com, call CPR/AED Instructor Norm Okerstrom at 763- 238-8443 or visit rotaryplymouth.org. -30- Page 8 Arbor Day Foundation RE !IVED' MAR 2 . 2017 Mayor Kelli Slavik 3400 Plymouth Blvd. BY: Plymouth,MN 55447 Dear Tree City USA Supporter, On behalf of the Arbor Day Foundation,I write to congratulate Plymouth on earning recognition as a 2016 Tree City USA.Residents of Plymouth should be proud to live in a community that makes the planting and care of trees a priority.

This is to report to you the results of our review. Additionally, the Secretary must determine that the grant recipient is in compliance with the statutes and has the continuing capacity to implement and administer the programs for which assistance is received. Report This review is based upon the information we received concerning the City's 2015 program year of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. We congratulate you on your many accomplishments during this past year on the achievement of Departmental Objectives. Enclosed is a report showing the City's use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), funds during this reporting period. Some specific accomplishments during the year included: The City's funds were expended in a timely manner Exceeded first year expectation with preserving single family homeownership Complied with the CDBG public services and administration expenditure limits Used 100% of their program year funds to assist households at or below 80% of median income, as defined by HUD Assisted 14 households with rehabilitation Met goal for special needs housing with rehabilitation of three buildings. First time homebuyer program helped four households purchase their first home in the City of Plymouth Background Information HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development has sought to establish partnerships with State and local governments. The focus of our partnership has been to work with communities to ensure that our joint efforts result in housing and community development programs and policies that benefit and serve low and moderate-income persons. These efforts occur within the framework of the statutes we administer and the regulations and policies that are designed to improve program performance. The provisions of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, require the annual submission of performance reports by grant recipients receiving federal assistance through programs covered under these Acts. Additionally, these Acts require that a www.hud.gov espanol.hud.gov Page 10 2 determination be made by the Secretary, that the grant recipient is in compliance with the statutes and has the continuing capacity to implement and administer the programs for which assistance is received. With the implementation of the Consolidated Planning Regulations of January 5, 1995, the Department began making comprehensive performance reviews of grantee's overall progress at least annually, as required by the statues and section 91.525 of the regulations. The review consists of analyzing the consolidated planning process; reviewing management of funds; determining the progress made in carrying out policies and programs; determining the compliance of funded activities with statutory and regulatory requirements; determining the accuracy of required performance reports; as well as evaluating accomplishments in meeting key Departmental objectives. This assessment not only meets the mandates of the statutes,but it also provides a basis for working together collaboratively to help grantees achieve housing and community development goals. One critical outcome of this collaboration should be the development of a more comprehensive, effective, and concise Consolidated Plan and improved performance in achieving specific goals that correspond to the activities outlined in your forthcoming Action Plan. Public Access This Report must be made readily available to the public within 30 days of receipt of your comments. There are several ways the report can be made available to the public. You can assist us in this regard by sharing HUD's report with the media; with members of your advisory committee; or with those who attended hearings or meetings, placing it on your web site or distributing it through a Listserv. HUD will make this information available to the public upon request and may provide copies of future reports to interested citizens and groups. Conclusion As a result of our analysis,we have determined that your overall progress is satisfactory and that the City has the continuing capacity to implement these programs. If there are any questions please do not hesitate to contact Dawn Horgan, CPD Representative, by phone at (612) 370-3058, or by email at dawn.m.horgan@hud.gov. Sincerely, Q/4C"e• Marcia A.

By Janet Moore Star Tribune MARCH 28, 2017 — 10:51PM A measure calling for an increase in a local sales tax that helps pay for mass transit projects was tabled Tuesday by the Hennepin County Board. Commissioners held two public hearings in recent weeks on a proposed increase in Hennepin’s transit tax from a quarter cent to a half cent. While several residents spoke in favor of it at a hearing earlier this month, four county residents spoke against the tax hike Tuesday. The proposal was prompted by a recent move of the Counties Transit Improvement Board (CTIB) to dissolve itself. Created in 2008, CTIB consists of Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka and Washington counties, all of which levy the quarter-cent tax. Revenue generated from the tax has been instrumental in raising nearly $1 billion for various transit projects in the Twin Cities, including the light-rail Green Line linking the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Last year Dakota County, dissatisfied with the return it was getting from the arrangement with CTIB, voted to leave the board by early 2019. At the same time, lawmakers at the State Capitol balked at funding the state’s share for the Southwest and Bottineau light-rail projects. Faced with a funding conundrum, CTIB voted to dissolve itself and permit its individual counties to increase the transit tax to a half cent, raising more money for transit. Only Hennepin and Ramsey counties opted to do so, holding public hearings on the proposed tax hike in recent weeks. Page 16 All five CTIB counties must agree to dissolve the board by Friday. But earlier this month, Dakota County commissioners voted to stay in CTIB, claiming the county was owed $29 million — an amount other CTIB members have refused to pay. So CTIB will continue with the five counties and the current quarter-cent sales tax. In Hennepin County, the resolution may be brought up again at a later date. CTIB said Dakota County was owed $16.5 million rather than $29 million. Hennepin County Commissioner Peter McLaughlin, chairman of CTIB, said Tuesday he was “pretty disappointed” with Dakota County’s demands. “This is a sad tale of regionalism,” he said. Talks between Dakota County and CTIB that would have led to dissolution have been ongoing, said Mike Slavik, chairman of the Dakota County Board. “We got close, but we didn’t get to the finish line,” he said. Slavik added that the County Board would be open to future talks. janet.moore@startribune.com 612-673-7752 Page 17
