Member Kelsey remarked that based upon City Council, what would be a better option? She <br />noted that City Council and the HRA needed to work together. <br /> <br />Member Pust remarked that Ms. Bennett had done an excellent job in her role as HRA Executive <br />Director but her services have become priced out of the City’s ability to afford since she moved <br />to the private sector, therefore Option#2 or Option#3 must be considered. Given the city <br /> <br />manager’s recommendation, she believes Option#3 is the best choice. <br /> <br />Member Kelsey inquired if it is a reasonable expectation of the Executive Director to devote only <br />8 hours per week to the HRA with Option#3. Mr. Stark replied that it would depend upon what <br />the HRA’s expectation will be and what work they will want to complete. If he were to assume <br />the role of Executive Director, he may spend more time steering the organization in other <br />directions if the HRA so chooses. To that extent he could spend well more than 8 hours per week <br />on HRA activity. <br /> <br />Chair Majerus noted that he also appreciated what Ms. Bennett has done for the HRA but that <br />they need to look at other options and move forward. Any of the options would work but he likes <br />the connection to the Community Development Department outlined in Options #2 and #3. <br />Member Kelsey remarked that there used to be consistency in messages when the position was <br />within CD Department and she believes the recommendation made by Member Pust is a good <br />one. She noted that the HRA needs the communication with the CD Department. <br /> <br />Chair Majerus asked for clarification on report recommendation 2.0 #1 regarding administrative <br />services. <br /> <br />Mr. Stark noted that regardless of what option the HRA chooses for Executive Director, they still <br />need to consider administrative support separately. <br /> <br />Motion:Member Pust moved, seconded by Member Kelsey, toapprove a service contract <br /> <br />with the City of Roseville for staff support services for $10,800 prorated monthly for 2007 <br />. <br /> <br />Ayes: 6 <br />Nays: 0 <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />Motion:Member Pust moved, seconded by Member Kelsey, to authorize the City of <br /> <br />Roseville to hire a part time position within Community Development for an amount not to <br />exceed $45,000 (includes salary and benefits) for 2007 and for the CD Director to serve as <br />the HRA Executive Director contingent upon City Council approval. <br /> <br />Ayes: 4 <br />Nays: 2 <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />Note: Members Millasovich and Elkins did not appear to vote. A no vote is presumed to be nay <br />since the nay vote was not asked for. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
