City of Roseville - Housing & Redevelopment Authority Meeting Minutes for July 20, 20...Page 2 of 2 Motion carried Public Hearing 7. None Non-Action Items, Information and Board Report 8. a) Board Reports: None b) Staff Reports: Executive Director Cathy Bennett advised of the December 1st Planning Commission meeting regarding an update on the HRA activities and the December 6th Council meeting to address the budget and levy. The final levy must be adopted by the City Council at the December 20, 2004 meeting. Member Bean noted that the Council and residents should be aware that if housing issues are not addressed, such as increasing rental housing within neighborhoods, that housing values could deteriorate and residents could lose equity in their homes. Therefore, supporting the levy to help pay for the costs to address housing and neighborhood issues is less costly up front (through the levy) than to pay later with loss of home equity. Member Hermes also expressed her concern on the neighborhood issues and the need for housing dollars to address these issues. She expressed her passion for housing and will relay this to the Council in their consideration of funding the levy on December 6, 2004. Executive Bennett also mentioned that GMHC has arranged a tour of two Applewood Court Homes on December 14, 2004 at 4:00 p.m. These two homes will be completed and the new homeowners will move in prior to the end of 2004. A formal open house for the development will occur in January when the remaining three homes are complete. Initiation will be mailed to the HRA, City Council, other commissions and the neighborhood.
