The RHRA will also be removed from formal <br />41 approvals, but the City Council did indicate a desire to still work with the RHRA and <br />42 mentioned that if there are any plan changes proposed, that it may seek assistance from <br />43 the RHRA to continue to lead the neighborhood outreach since the RHRA’s previous <br />44 process has been considered to be a success and is popular in the neighborhood. <br />45 <br />46 One other change that the recommended action will entail is at the staff level. If the <br />47 RHRA approves of the City Council action, the responsibility for negotiations will <br />48 transfer to the Community Development Director and the City Attorneys rather than the <br />49 HRA staff and HRA attorney. Of course, the Executive Director of the RHRA and <br />50 RHRA attorney will still be involved in working through the property transfer and in an <br />51 ongoing support role to the City staff, much as City staff has been serving in a support <br />52 role to the HRA staff up to this time. <br />53 <br />54 <br />55 3.0 <br />Staff Recommended Action <br />56 <br />57 Offer a motion to authorize HRA staff and the HRA attorney to explore the correct legal <br />58 process, begin negotiations with the City and prepare the required documents necessary to <br />59 sell the HRA owned parcels to the City Council. <br />60 <br />61 Prepared by: Paul Bilotta, Community Development Director (651-792-7071) <br /> <br />62 <br /> <br />63 Attachment A: Expired Memorandum of Understanding <br />64 B: Excerpt draft minutes from the City Council meeting February 23, 2015 <br />65 <br /> <br />66 <br /> <br />67 <br /> <br />68 <br /> <br />69 <br /> <br />70 <br />71 <br />72 <br />73 <br />74 <br />75 <br />76 <br />77 <br />78 <br />79 <br />RHRA_ Agenda (2-27-15) - Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
