Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 19, 2010 Page 10 c. Consider Reappointment of Susan Elkins to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) Mayor Klausing reviewed his evaluation of the reappointment of Ms. Elkin to the HRA, following confirmation of her desire for reappointment, her attendance record, with only one absence, and input from the HRA Chair Dean Maschka re- commending her reappointment. Councilmember Pust, in serving on the HRA with Ms. Elkin, noted her excellent value to the HRA with her background in the financial market, and the helpful- ness of that expertise in HRA deliberations. Roe moved, Klausing seconded, approving, Mayor Klausing's recommendation to reappoint Susan Elkins to a five year term on the HRA beginning September 24, 2010 to September 23, 2015.

Continue Discussion on 2011 Priority-based Budgeting Finance Director Chris Miller summarized the expanded listing of tax-supported programs and sub-programs contained within the RCA dated July 19, 2010, to provide additional information for individual City Councilmembers as previously requested. Mr. Miller noted that three of the five Councilmembers had provided their individual rankings to staff; and welcomed them to revisit their original rankings after receipt of this additional information, and encouraged submission of remaining rankings to staff as soon as possible to continue the 2011 budget process. Councilmember Roe thanked Department Heads and staff for their efforts in pro- viding the additional information, having found it very helpful as opposed to cryptic names on a list. Councilmember Ihlan concurred; opining that it was helpful to have the informa- tion available to consult. Mayor Klausing suggested that individual Councilmembers complete their rank- ing prior to next Monday's regular business meeting; and asked that, once re- ceived, Mr. Miller provide those individual rankings to all Councilmembers for comparison purposes and to prompt potential discussion at the next meeting and for potential individual re-ranking upon further consideration.
