While unsure of the impact to the 48 administration of the HRA, Mr. Trudgeon expressed confidence that the job could be done and 49 resources allocated to accomplish those goals. Mr. Trudgeon noted that this would require coordination 50 with the City Council and impact the HRA levy; with the HRA setting the levy and the City Council 51 approving the HRA levy. 52 53 Member Majerus recognized that the HRA had consistently held their levy at a zero percent increase for 54 the last four (4) years.
