HRA Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, February 21, 2012 Page 8 1 that the HRA may not be. Mr. Trudgeon also suggested linking that agency perspective to the 2 broader senior service issue. 3 4 Chair Maschka noted that those agencies were all feeling the financial pressures and stresses at 5 this time as well; with Mr. Trudgeon noting that those stresses may be manifesting in the 6 community as well. 7 8 Ms. Kelsey suggested that a survey be provided to those organizations seeking their feedback 9 to avoid burdening them time-wise; and offered staff following-up with them to encourage 10 their participation and the HRA’s need for hearing their perspective. 11 12 Member Pust suggested that there may be some stakeholders that the HRA Board would want 13 to hear from directly, rather than just reading reports (e.g. AEON), given their knowledge and 14 expertise of the area marketing and housing stock. However, due to time constraints, Member 15 Pust recognized that presentations couldn’t be heard from all stakeholders. 16 17 Ms. Kelsey noted that recent presentation “Navigating the New Normal,” and advised that 18 AEON finance representatives attended that work shop; and encouraged individual HRA 19 Board members to watch the presentation. 20 21 Mr. Trudgeon advised that staff could make the presentation available to the HRA Board. 22 23 Member Majerus suggested that the Imagine Roseville 2025 community visioning documents 24 be revisited as part of this strategic plan update as well. 25 26 Ms. Raye thanked members for their comments; and advised that the on-line survey should be 27 available within the next few days; and asked that individual HRA Board members advised 28 other potential stakeholders of the survey and encourage their participation. 29 30 At the request of Mr. Trudgeon, Ms. Raye reviewed the upcoming schedule: 31 March HRA meeting 32 Discuss some of the findings/data from the survey; and initial review of implications and/or 33 priorities requiring additional research 34 April HRA meeting 35 Integrate that additional data/research; review best practices comparative data; preliminary 36 scenarios and strategies for potential consideration 37 May HRA meeting 38 Further refine updated strategies 39 Saturday Work Session 40 Focus on integration of the information and establish strategic options for the HRA Board 41 42 9.
