HRA Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, June 16, 2009 Page 6 Additional discussion included the many ideas fielded by the HRA’s Finance Sub-Committee and development of a tactical list from those ideas; recognizing that funding would dictate what could be accomplished. Chair Maschka asked that staff scan the Strategic Plan and e-mail a copy to individual members, who would in turn review the Strategic Plan, and come to the Strategic Planning meeting prepared to discuss any items that may be missing, and their comments on specifics of the Plan. Ms. Kelsey noted the need to look at broadening or reducing the document, since some had developed and the market had changed since first initiated in 2002; and the need to review how the market had affected the Strategic Plan, and any areas not being covered. Staff concurred with members that, Mr. Trudgeon would serve to facilitate and track discussions, with a Recording Secretary present to provide detailed notes of the meeting; and advised that they would coordinate with members via e-mail to determine a definite date for the Strategic Planning Meeting, on a Wednesday in the next few weeks. 11.Information Reports & Other Business (Verbal Reports by Staff and Board Members): a.Outcome of Realtor Day, June 11, 2009 Ms. Kelsey provided a summary of the first Realtor Day held in Roseville, with forty (40) realtors in attendance; providing excellent comments and eliciting great enthusiasm from them in selling in Roseville. Ms. Kelsey noted that the day would not have been as successful without the full cooperation of all the City Departments, and Roseville School District No. 623 representatives. Ms. Kelsey noted the favorable real estate values in Roseville, compared to surrounding metropolitan communities, from 2007-2008, making property purchase in Roseville a solid investment. Ms. Kelsey advised that presenters came up after the meeting, speaking in support of another Realtor Day next year, preferably in the spring of 2010 to coincide with continuing education timing requirements for realtors. Ms. Kelsey advised that staff was contemplating a March 2010 date for next year’s event. Mr. Trudgeon concurred with Ms. Kelsey’s observations, and thanked her for her logistical and preparation work to make the day a success. Ms. Kelsey provided members with the final marketing and information packets that had been distributed to realtors at the meeting; noting that she would be coordinating the information for welcome packets for those moving into the City of Roseville. Members concurred that the marketing materials were impressive. b.Foreclosure Update in Roseville Mr. Trudgeon noted that foreclosure numbers seemed to be running somewhat ahead of those in 2008, but not significantly; following the huge spike seen at the beginning of 2009. Mr. Trudgeon noted some clusters that staff was paying close attention to, without any obvious areas of concern based on available data. c.Joint HRA/City Council Meeting on July 13, 2009 Members and staff discussed the upcoming joint meeting, noting those items for focus, including highlighting accomplishments over the past year; specific notation of the marketing materials; and more discussion of a draft of the upcoming City newsletter article specific to the HRA page, featuring a service provider in the community each time; and how to consider ongoing information, consistency, and/or relevancy for topics.
