Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,January 06, 2014 <br /> Page 13 <br /> asked individual Councilmembers if the majority was interested in opening the <br /> appointment up to the general public and no longer having City Council represen- <br /> tation on the HRA. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte opined that, due to the independent nature of the HRA <br /> with its own taxing authority, a City Council representative should serve on the <br /> HRA at all times. Councilmember Laliberte stated that removing that established <br /> precedent would not provide any level of comfort for her. <br /> Councilmembers Etten and McGehee concurred. <br /> Councilmember McGehee noted that she had offered to serve at the same time <br /> Councilmember Willmus was appointed to serve, and advised that she continued <br /> to retain that interest. <br /> Councilmember Etten asked Councilmember Willmus to elaborate how he felt <br /> having a Councilmember serve on the HRA. <br /> Councilmember Willmus advised that he had mixed feelings, concurring with <br /> Councilmembers Laliberte and McGehee's perspective with the taxing authority <br /> of the HRA, with the potential of setting up a situation where the HRA may lean <br /> on the Councilmember to see what direction they ultimately thought the City <br /> Council would go, creating some challenges since they are simply there as anoth- <br /> er voting member of the HRA, not the voice of the City Council.

Councilmember Etten noted that Councilmembers <br /> could watch the HRA meetings, but were not receiving a monthly report from <br /> Councilmember Willmus on the activities of the HRA, thereby no longer serving <br /> a purposeful conduit between the two bodies. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte noted that this could be a future function rather than the <br /> current situation. <br /> Councilmember Etten clarified that his intent was not to have a check on the <br /> HRA, nor did he support having the City Council with undue influence on HRA <br /> operations. <br /> Councilmember Willmus, in response to the HRA's taxing authority, clarified that <br /> an often overlooked detail is that the HRA's tax levy comes to the full City Coun- <br /> cil for affirmation before it was put on the books. While the City Council did not <br /> have control over the HRA's line item budget within the confines of the levy, <br />
