(HF0021). Chair Millasovich requested Executive Director Cathy Bennett explain a brief summary of the budget proposals. She explained the sources and uses looking at two levels of levy options. The administrative section of the budget could be reduced by $20,000 if marketing and studies are added to a separate line item for $20,000. She explained the programs and noted that portions of a Housing Replacement Programs and a Rental Rehab Program could use the Community Development Block Grant funds as long as those Federal income guidelines are achieved. She also explained the ownership rehab, first time home buyer programs and neighborhood improvement/enhancement. Bennett mentioned the addition of a housing maintenance code and/or rental licensing code that would require a higher levy to implement. These programs will be discussed by the City Council and the HRA on August 23, 2004 as a way to address growing single family and multi family neighborhood and code issues. Member Kelsey asked about holding the HRA regular August meeting on the same night as the Council meeting. Bennett explained that this would be difficult logistically especially since the HRA will be holding a public hearing on the budget in August. Member Kelsey requested that the Council move the housing summit discussion to the beginning of the agenda so that the HRA members can attend. Chair Millasovich asked for details of the yearly budget cycle and review process with the Council. Motion: Member Millasovich moved, seconded by Member Marks, to set a public hearing for the proposed draft HRA budget for 2005 for Tuesday, August 17, 2004, at 7:00 p.m., at the Fireside Room.

Motion: Member Marks moved, seconded by Member Kelsey, to establish a special HRA meeting for Monday, August 23, 2004, to attend the City Council/HRA Housing Summit and budget discussion at 934 Woodhill beginning at 6:00 p.m. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried c) Resolution Determining that a certain parcel is occupied by a structurally substandard building and is to be included in a Tax Increment Financing District (HF0020). Cathy Bennett explained the resolution to preserve the right of the HRA to establish a TIF district for three years by determining that the parcel at 2012 Eldridge is structurally substandard. She mentioned that this resolution needs to be done prior to demolition of the building. In addition, the Council needs to adopt a companion resolution stating the same. Member Kelsey asked if HRA could recoup eligible costs prior to establishment of the district. Chair Millasovich asked how much the eminent domain process would cost (estimate$150,000). Could the HRA ask to recoup these expenses through a TIF District even if no eminent domain occurs (yes). Motion: Member Marks moved, seconded by Member Kelsey, to approve a Resolution determining that a certain parcel is occupied by a structurally substandard building and is to be included in a future tax increment financing district.
