Attachment B Councilmember Laliberte asked that the next meeting include the community as part of the process to avoid delaying getting that feedback into any next steps. At the suggestion of Mayor Roe, Councilmember Etten suggested involvement of the HRA in future decisions based on this expertise with the project and in housing in general. Roll Call Willmus, Etten, McGehee, Laliberte and Roe. Ayes: None. Nays: At the request of Councilmember Willmus, City Manager Trudgeon advised that he would alert the HRA of the City Councils action, and at that point, determine how best to proceed and which project option was supported in general, after which time neighborhood feedback would be sought. As part of that, Mayor Roe noted the City Councils need to understand the agreement before making a final determination in one way or the other, for which he thought the neighborhood should also provide feedback. Councilmember Willmus noted the need for GMHC to provide proformas for both proposals for the benefit of the City Council and neighborhood. City Manager Trudgeon suggested a special City Council meeting for only this topic to allow sufficient time and consideration for all parties rather than part of a larger meeting agenda. Mayor Roe concurred, speaking in support of the sooner the better, as long as reasonable notice could be provided to allow the most participation. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mayor Roe clarified that the HRA would need to meet first to discuss selling property to the City Council before a Special City Council meeting could be scheduled. Councilmember Laliberte asked that the meetings be scheduled as close together as possible to keep the process moving. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Ms. Olson and Mr. Buelow confirmed their clear understanding of the next steps and tonights action by the City Council. END 10:18 p.m.
