City Manager's Recommendations Regarding City Use of the Proceeds from the Arona <br />Project and the Amount of an HRA Tax Leery <br />HRA, the HRA should he able in 2004 not just to maintain but moder- <br />ately to improve City govemment's investment in improving Roseville <br />housing. <br />Third, as a general principle, I believe the new HRA should pretty much <br />wally forward with existing housing programs at existing funding levels <br />and create a track record and some success stories -- before it runs to- <br />ward new, higher levels of funding for housing programs in Roseville. <br />Establishing credibility is key to Council and Community acceptance of <br />the HRA. Credibility is more likely to be created with steady, moderate, <br />and measured progress. <br />Fourth, the City of Roseville is not levying to the maximum with our local <br />property tax; neither should the Roseville HRA. <br />For these reasons, I recommend <br />1. Using the $1.3 million in Arona land sale proceeds for a Roseville <br />Community Center; <br />2. Using the Arona TIF increment to cover, first, city development <br />costs for Arona's Applewood Pointe and, if there is sufficient *T`I F <br />increment remaining over the life of the Arona TIF District, also to <br />support workforce housing on the Arona parcel; and <br />3. That the City Council approve a $200,000 HRA tax levy for 2004, <br />not the maximum $490,000 levy. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Neal Beets <br />8 <br />
