Background:
Shiloh Cares Food Shelf provides essential emergency food distribution in North Minneapolis. The Shiloh Cares Northside Food Access Renovation Project will renovate and expand the existing food shelf facility within the current footprint of the building. The renovation project is anticipated to cost $1.75 million. The State of Minnesota has provided $1 million towards the project, and Cargill has pledged $150,000.
Resolution 24-0081 (adopted March 5, 2024) authorized the County Administrator to negotiate an Agreement (PR00006143) with Change Starts with Community for capital costs associated with the Shiloh Cares Northside Food Access Renovation Project during the period June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2029, with a not to exceed amount of $600,000.
Project activities are moving quicker than anticipated and staff recommends amending the agreement start date from June 1, 2024, to April 1, 2024, to better capture reimbursement for eligible expenditures. There is no change to the agreement not-to-exceed amount of $600,000.
This agreement is funded with non-federal funding in accordance with Resolution 22-0136R1 (adopted March 22, 2022) and with the authority delegated to the County Administrator via Resolution 23-0349R1 (adopted December 12, 2023).
Current Request:
