HRA Meeting <br />Minutes – Tuesday, May 18, 2010 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Trudgeon advised that there was nothing new to report on this issue, but that a continuing <br />  <br />dialogue was continuing between staff and School District staff, and depending on when the <br /> <br /> <br />School Board next met and held discussions, staff may return with this as an HRA Agenda <br />  <br />item in July or August. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion included the potential process for framing and elements to include in an RFP if and <br /> <br />when site control was established; intent to encourage and promote development of affordable <br /> <br />housing as cited in the market study, while allowing for creativity to the development field to <br /> <br />come forward with their proposals to incorporate various housing options for that site, while <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />incorporating the ball fields; previous working relationships and partnerships of potential <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />developers from previous experience; similarities of the RFP with that done to the other school <br /> <br />  <br />site (Applewood Point) and the HRA development of seven (7) single-family lots on that site; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />but ultimately based on the need of the community, not exclusive to any short-sighted <br /> <br />  <br />development proposals. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Further discussion included how to meet community resource needs for congregate dining <br /> <br /> <br />and/or meeting space for socialization and/or non-active recreation opportunities (i.e., <br /> <br /> <br />community meeting room); future operation and maintenance of such a space based on private <br /> <br /> <br />or public ownership; financing options including bonding; and the positive environment for <br /> <br /> <br />infrastructure improvements with current low interest rates, similar to that during the initial <br /> <br /> <br />and controversial improvements to Central Park in acquiring that land, with consideration to <br />  <br />the benefits to future generations. <br /> <br /> <br />  <br />11. Adjournment. <br /> <br />  <br />The meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:02 p.m. <br />  <br />  <br />Next Regular Meeting: June 25, 2010, City Council Chambers at 6:00 p.m. <br />  <br /> <br />
