HRA Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, May 15, 2012 Page 11 1 yet identified. Ms. Kelsey advised that this was her intent with the outline Implementation 2 Plan to clearly lay out those items having direct impacts to current or future budgets, for HRA 3 preliminary review and consideration. 4 5 Motion: Member Majerus moved, seconded by Member Lee to direct staff to prepare a 6 Second draft of the 2012-1016 Strategic Plan and First Draft of a Mission Statement; and 7 to develop a Draft Action or Implementation Plan – in outline not proposal format – for 8 review by the HRA at their June 2012 meeting 9 10 Ayes: 4 11 Nays: 0 12 Motion carried. 13 14 Ms. Raye, in conclusion, expressed her enthusiasm and opined that the Plan felt exciting; and 15 that she had observed staff’s excitement about the Plan. Ms. Raye cautioned that staff could 16 not yet be held accountable for the new Plan, since it was dependent on resources, thus the 17 need for the Action or Implementation Plan in outline format. 18 19 Member Majerus opined that Goal VI represented the implementation portion of the Plan, and 20 it was then the HRA’s job to define that Implementation Plan. 21 22 Ms. Kelsey clarified that it was even bigger than that, with the July 16 joint meeting of the City 23 Council and HRA serving as the launch pad to determine City Council support of the HRA 24 Strategic Plan and subsequent levy. Ms. Kelsey cautioned that this Strategic Plan would not be 25 accomplished with the standard levy of half of the levy capability of the HRA used in the past. 26 Ms. Kelsey opined that the proposed Strategic Plan would require a good discussion before it 27 can be adopted, since if there was insufficient or majority support from the City Council and 28 their related commitment to address resources, it would require the HRA and staff to come 29 back and prioritize and reallocate where and how that support was indicated. 30 31 Ms. Raye thanked the HRA Board for the opportunity, opining that it had been a great 32 discussion, with a fun group. 33 34 Chair Maschka thanked Ms. Raye for her work with the HRA Board and staff. 35 36 b.2325 Dale Street/Dale Fire Station Update 37 Ms. Kelsey provided a brief status summary of the vacant single-family home south of the Fire 38 Station, advising that staff and representatives of the homeowner’s estate had agreed upon a 39 Letter of Intent and obtaining an appraisal for the subject site, along with the four (4) vacant 40 lots immediately behind the subject lot. Based on that appraisal, Ms. Kelsey advised that staff 41 would then attempt to negotiate a proposed Purchase Agreement with the property owner, 42 potentially available for the HRA’s review and consideration at their June meeting. If the 43 HRA Board approves the Purchase Agreement, staff will then present the offer to the 44 homeowner(s) representative(s). 45 46 Ms. Kelsey advised Board members that, once the appraisal had been completed and shared 47 with the other party, it then became public record. Ms. Kelsey noted that the City (HRA) had 48 requested the exclusive right for the Letter of Intent, although it could not be legally upheld. 49 Ms. Kelsey advised that, to staff’s knowledge, there were no other parties looking at the 50 property at this time; and staff’s impression was that the Estate representatives were seeking a 51 fair appraisal and sale of the property to close out the estate. 52 53 10.
