Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 14, 2015 Page 22 how incorporate it into the process; however, he admitted he didn't yet know what that model would look like. Between the models of an EDA or PA, Mayor Roe opined that he was not sure the City needed to move down the EDA road.-, How- ever, at this point, Mayor Roe stated that it made sense to transition from the HRA model and have the City Council take it on as part of their PA powers.
