HRA Meeting <br />Minutes Saturday, April 21, 2012 <br />Page 18 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />2 <br />HRA Members concurred that staffing reallocations should come out of the Project Management <br />3 <br />Reports provided by staff. <br />4 <br /> <br />5 <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the percentage of total market value or tax capacity available for <br />6 <br />HRA levying purposes, as outlined in the HRA Attorney letter previously referenced. <br />7 <br /> <br />8 <br />9 <br />increased staff, and economic impacts. Ms. Raye advised that she and staff would coordinate those <br />10 <br />action plans and options for the HRA to consider at their next regular meeting; and then once adopted, <br />11 <br />the plan could be presented to the City Council at the upcoming joint meeting of the HRA and City <br />12 <br />Council; paving the way for any future potential levy increase by the HRA. <br />13 <br /> <br />14 <br />Chair Maschka concurred, noting that a written document provided for better decision-making. <br />15 <br /> <br />16 <br />Given the potential and monumental discussion of this one item, Mr. Trudgeon suggested that the May <br />17 <br />HRA meeting be focused on that item only. <br />18 <br /> <br />19 <br />Chair Maschka concurred; noting that this strategic plan was an evolution. <br />20 <br /> <br />21 <br />Mr. Trudgeon noted that many of the items identified by the HRA had already been discussed by the <br />22 <br />City Council in their strategic planning discussions, such as strengthening neighborhoods, and there <br />23 <br />24 <br />moving forward for the HRA was how best to accomplish these community goals. <br />25 <br /> <br />26 <br />Members concurred that priorities needed to be in concert with the City Council; and that advisory <br />27 <br />commissions should be polled to ensure that there was no duplication in the processes. <br />28 <br /> <br />29 <br />Mr. Trudgeon noted that the City Council has already seen the HRA in action through their successful <br />30 <br />NEP program when putting their efforts and resources toward a problem issue in the community. <br />31 <br /> <br />32 <br />In considering whether a levy increase would be required to move some of these goals forward, it was <br />33 <br />the consensus of members that it would depend on the particular project, as well as the politics of the <br />34 <br />community. <br />35 <br /> <br />36 <br />HRA Needs <br />37 <br />38 <br />role moving forward. <br />39 <br /> <br />40 <br />Regarding reporting and what was needed by the HRA to proceed, Chair Maschka noted the need for a <br />41 <br />draft document as soon as possible. Chair Maschka expressed his appreciation of the leadership he was <br />42 <br />-5 years, as well as the leadership <br />43 <br />he was observing from the City Council. Chair Maschka recognized the great history of the City of <br />44 <br />Roseville as a leader and model, and the need to continue that legacy moving forward. Based on his <br />45 <br /> the <br />46 <br />country, Chair Maschka expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunities coming before the HRA at this <br />47 <br />time. <br />48 <br /> <br />49 <br />Member Elkins opined that the Strategic Plan goals were realistic, and while not all immediate, there <br />50 <br />was really no need to prioritize the goals at this time, as all five (5) goals were very important and <br />51 <br />should be presented that way. <br />52 <br /> <br />53 <br />Member Masche thanked Chair Maschka for his leadership in getting the group discussion going today; <br />54 <br />and expressed his appreciation for a great discussion and time well-spent. Member Masche opined that <br />55 <br />it was gratifying corporately to see where the HRA had come from initial discussions 6-7 years ago, to <br /> <br />
