HRA Meeting Minutes Saturday, April 21, 2012 Page 16 1 2 Ms. Raye suggested that an objective under a goal would be to make initial contact and assess 3 4 5 6 Member Quam suggested that the Strategic Plan be used as an instrument at monthly HRA meetings; or 7 questioned if that was going into too much detail. 8 9 Member Majerus recognized that staff had a limited amount of time, and if there was insufficient 10 balance, some items may need to revert to a lower priority if indicated. Member Majerus noted that 11 some things could be delayed in the interim; however, if more things were delayed, it was obvious that 12 more staff was needed. 13 14 Member Willmus suggested that the goals not be based on current staffing; but if it is a viable goal of 15 the HRA, sufficient staff/financial resources be provided to support that goal structure. 16 17 Ms. Kelsey noted that some of the goals on the proposed strategic plan would take 4-5 years to process, 18 but not all or a majority of the plan. However, Ms. Kelsey advised that staff would require time to 19 develop and put things together in the right way; and could build upon its successes and not be spread 20 too thin. 21 22 Chair Maschka noted that the Dale Street fire station parcels, if and when the City controlled the land, 23 provided the greatest opportunity for success; however, the school district parcel was also another great 24 opportunity; and as previously noted, the Target/ County Road B site as well. Chair Maschka opined 25 that it was possible that all three things could move at the same time. Chair Maschka suggested that the 26 first step for an action plan could be bringing people in and asking if they were interested in talking; and 27 how to be cognizant of that and track progress accordingly. 28 29 Mr. Trudgeon referenced Member Quam 30 updates to the HRA, whether through discussion or simply periodic reports on the Consent Agenda, but 31 keeping the goals and action steps fresh for all. Mr. Trudgeon advised that this would allow the HRA to 32 make good decisions, and while creating additional work for staff, the periodic updates would be true to 33 34 35 Member Majerus suggested a project management report. 36 37 Further refining the five (5) goals and action plan, Ms. Raye reviewed, and HRA consensus approved 38 the following procedure: 39 40 Goals and Measures (What is needed and who does what) 41 Objective 42 Action resources 43 Who 44 Quarterly time 45 Project Update 46 Project Management Report 47 48 Ms. Raye spoke in support of a ,with flow charts and updates as part of 49 those projects. 50 51 Discussion included using this framework for an action plan, providing a solid instrument to take to the 52 City Council and others; scheduling informal work sessions as needed as things moved forward. 53 54 55
