HRA Special Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, June 30, 2015 Page 21 1 2 Member Etten advised that such a presentation was planned for the next Roseville Business Council 3 next month. 4 5 Mr. Bilotta advised that, at a staff level, discussions had been held to make demographic information 6 more regularly presented to the HRA beyond that census information and comprehensive plan work 7 done by the City Council every ten years. Mr. Bilotta addressed the baby boomer impacts on housing 8 and the upcoming millennial generation coming in totally different demographically and their specific 9 housing choices for long-term. Mr. Bilotta noted that staff had provided a few examples to the HRA in 10 their recent meetings, and offered to provide more information if the HRA was interested, with staff 11 receiving little feedback to-date on those initial offerings. 12 13 Regarding SE Roseville, Mr. Bilotta reported on the interagency group work being done to focus on the 14 Karen immigrant group; and questioned where the HRA fit in. Mr. Bilotta noted the HRA’s initial 15 involvement in partial funding for the ECHO project. While the City of Roseville was not in control of 16 all four corners of this corridor based on the multi-jurisdictional nature and other agencies involved, Mr. 17 Bilotta suggested it may be prudent for Roseville to start pushing those other jurisdictions. Mr. Bilotta 18 opined that the role of the Roseville HRA was not probably suited to become an umbrella for the efforts 19 in SE Roseville, but suggested it could be instrumental in fitting the pieces together, whether through 20 infill redevelopment beyond other social service delivery issues by those other agencies. 21 22 Specific to the west side of I-35W and long-term redevelopment, Mr. Bilotta agreed there could be 23 future opportunities within 3-5 years, but other things were already locked in place. 24 25 Member Wall opined that consideration should be in place. 26 27 Chair Maschka opined that with the adjacent tank farms, it could be a hard site to redevelop in any 28 meaningful way. 29 30 Mr. Bilotta addressed the issues with national versus local involvement in the tank farm; long-term 31 warehouse vacancies; and other interesting options pursued by other communities; and potential on the 32 east and west side of the I-35W corridor. 33 34 In conclusion, Ms. Raye provided a brief recap addressing where the HRA had come from, their 35 successes and what to carry forward, and development of this draft portfolio mix and buckets/goals. 36 Ms. Raye reiterated that she and staff would now work to narrow tonight’s discussion and develop 37 strategic goals and specific initiatives for discussion at the next HRA meeting, at which priorities could 38 be determined. 39 40 Member noted the need to address staffing and a frank discussion whether the current model that had 41 proven itself in the past still worked moving forward. 42 43 Member Etten agreed, opining that was part of the focus, but also inherent in the budgeting process. 44 45 By consensus, members agreed that tonight had proven informative, with lots of great ideas. 46 47 Dates for next meetings/Next Steps 48 Ms. Kelsey advised that HRA will next meet to continue this discussion, as well as in their regular 49 meeting on Tuesday, July 21; with Ms. Raye noting distribution of a quasi-draft plan via e-mail prior to 50 that meeting. 51 52 11. Adjournment 53 Chair Maschka adjourned the meeting at approximately 8:22 p.m. 54 55 Next Regular Meeting: Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 6:00 p.m.
