erica
coleman,
hr
administrator:
this
is
just
reiterating
and
going
through
that
we
have
scheduled
the
special
session
for
the
strategic
planning
for
next
week
february.
Sorry
february
16th.
E
I
was
thrown
off
by
the
date
I'm
seeing
here,
and
so
just
just
reiterating
that
and
just
reminding
our
commissioners
that
we
did
at
that
meeting
and
approved
the
calendar
at
our
last
meeting
last
regularly
scheduled
meeting,
which
included
the
special
meeting.
E
B
Thank
you
for
that,
and
it
is
again
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
attend
and
it's
a
very
important
meeting
and
I'm
sure
we'll
be
getting
materials
ahead
of
time
to
to
facilitate
our
discussion.
At
the
meeting
onto
new
business
item
5.1
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
amendments.
F
F
We
are
bringing
before
you
this
evening
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance.
They
are
being
presented
tonight
to
the
hra
for
a
approval
and
recommendation
to
the
city
council
to
approve
they
will
go
to
the
planning
commission
on
february
25th
and
the
city
council
on
march
8..
This
timeline
is
important.
F
We
very
much
hope
that
the
city
council
will
approve
the
ordinance
changes
in
march,
because
we
have
8012
old
cedar.
The
reuter
walton
proposed
development
coming
through
in
march
and
april,
and
it's
imperative
that
the
ordinance
changes
that
allow
them
to
build
a
68
unit
development
on
a
smaller
lot
at
80th
and
old
cedar
that
they
can
meet
their
deadline.
They
they
received
11
million
dollars
in
bonds
in
in
january,
and
once
again
we
have
a
july
first
deadline.
F
F
As
we
are
all
very
committed
to
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
to
promote
the
development
of
new,
affordable
housing,
the
and
the
preservation
of
existing
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing,
while
also
furthering
private
market
development
in
the
city,
the
ordinance
was
adopted.
F
It
was
set
forth
by
the
city
council
and
adopted
on
february
25th
of
2019
amended
in
august
of
2019
and,
as
you
all
know,
launched
on
september
1st
of
2019.
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance.
Annual
report
to
the
city
council
was
presented
on
august
10
2020,
along
with
additional
joint
study
sessions
with
the
housing
and
redevelopment
authority
on
september
21st
and
october
22nd.
F
Those
are
the
main
conversations
that
led
to
the
proposed
recommendations
that
are
before
you
this
evening,
as
long
as
and
along
with
previous
community
engagement
sessions
with
the
bloomington
housing
action
team,
both
in
2020
and
again
today,
and
we
also
will
be
scheduling
a
meeting
between
now
and
the
city
council
public
hearing
date,
hopefully
with
property
owners
through
the
minnesota,
multi-housing
association
and
housing
developers
through
uli,
also
last
fall
twin
cities,
lisk
held
several
meetings
for
developers,
property
owners,
other
governments,
the
philanthropic
sector
and
bloomington
residents.
F
So
we
have
a
lot
of
great
feedback
on
the
proposed
changes
to
date.
The
there
are
four
types
of
proposed
amendments.
One
are
future
considerations
that
we
will,
with
one
exception
not
be
discussing
today
or
with
this
series
of
amendments.
The
second
are
minor
edits.
Those
are
typos
or
exchanging
a
may
for
a
shell.
F
This
will
give
developers
flexibility
in
how
they
cash
flow
and
finance
their
projects,
while
at
the
same
time
ensuring
that
our
affordability
requirements
and
outcomes
are
met.
This
is
9.4
in
the
definition
section
9.6
are
is
the
opportunity
housing
requirement.
Staff
recommends
that
new
multi-family
residential
units
include
newly
constructed
converted
or
infilled
development.
This
allows
for
the
development
of
housing,
converted
from
commercial
office,
hotel
or
other
uses.
F
9.09
payment
in
lieu
staff
recommends
further
defining
how
and
when
the
developer
make
a
payment
of
the
fee
in
lieu
and
also
defines
that
the
payment
of
the
fee
in
lieu
is
deposited
in
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
for
future
development
preservation
or
writing
the
cost
down
to
a
lower
deeper
income
level.
F
This
provides
the
city
with
additional
assurance
of
receiving
the
fee,
while
allowing
the
developer
to
retain
the
funds
during
construct
the
construction
period
of
the
first
phase,
if
as
needed,
this
is
not.
That
is
just
a
clarification,
not
a
major
change
to
the
ordinance.
There
is
an
important
future
consideration,
however,
and
that
is
that
the
current
current
payment
in
lieu
rate
is
nine
dollars
and
sixty
cents.
This
was
set
by
the
economic
impact
study
and
staff
is
recommending
that
this
be
updated
every
three
to
five
years
to
ensure
the
city
is
capturing
eligible
costs.
F
We
did
have
a
conversation
with
bay
area
economics
regarding
the
updating
of
the
payment
of
the
fee
in
lieu.
In
addition
to
the
three
to
five
years,
there
could
be
some
major
shift
in
the
housing
market
that
would
necessitate
a
revision
as
well,
but
even
in
the
pandemic.
Affordable
housing
development
is
going
strong,
and
this
is
something
that
we
do
not
think
needs
to
occur
occur
every
year.
F
9.36
objectives,
the
one
of
the
most
important
objectives
of
the
ordinance
is
that
the
affordable
housing
units
are
integrated
throughout
the
city
as
well
as
throughout
proposed
developments.
This
clarification
also
adds
that
the
affordability
of
the
unit
sizes
proposed
be
integrated
in
whatever
bedroom
types
the
development
proposes.
So
if
there
are
three
and
four
bedroom
units
in
the
property
as
a
whole,
there
must
be
three
and
four
bedroom
units
that
are
affordable
as
well,
and
this
more
clearly
clarifies,
of
course,
the
city
and
the
hra's
intent
to
potential
developers.
F
Moving
on
to
the
changes,
there
are
changes
in
the
opportunity.
Housing
requirement,
changes
to
the
tools
and
incentives,
changes
in
the
financial
incentives,
changes
to
the
hype,
bonus,
the
parking
reduction,
enclosed
parking,
space
conversion
allowance,
alternative
exterior
materials
allowance
and
the
storage
space
reduction.
F
F
This
does
not
mean
that
the
hra
in
the
city
will
not
continue
to
work
with
developers
to
provide
single-family
home
ownership
or
residential
opportunity
at
a
much
lower
ami,
sometimes
with
subsidies,
it's
possible
to
hit
50
or
60
ami,
but
this
change
from
110
to
115
makes
it
easier
for
potential
developers
to
pair
potential
hra
and
city
of
bloomington
funds
with
state
minnesota
housing
funds
and
other
funds
that
are
currently
available
for
single
family.
F
That
would
be,
as
is
now
approved
by
the
community
development
director
and
recommended
to
be
considered
for
approval
by
the
city
council,
based
on
the
evidence
specified
in
the
affordable
housing
plan.
The
community
development
director
must
make
a
recommendation
to
the
city
council
to
approve
any
alternative,
any
additional
request
in
the
tools
and
incentives,
and
it
must
provide
as
much
or
more
affordable
housing
at
the
same
or
lower
income
levels.
F
The
ordinance
changes
1916.2
to
0.5
are
all
in
support
of
redevelopment
on
smaller
sites,
site
area
reduction,
site
with
reduction,
impervious
surface
area
increase
and
open
space
reduction
recommends.
Adding
this
flexibility
in
order
to
expand
the
number
of
smaller
sites
within
the
city
of
bloomington
to
be
able
to
produce,
affordable
housing
at
the
density
would
allow
the
project
to
be
viable
and
and
move
forward.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
8012
old
cedar
is
an
example
of
this,
as
would
be
the
city
owned
property
near
queen
and
american.
F
Another
example
of
the
same
site
size
would
be
the
option
agreements
that
the
hra
formerly
had
for
98
the
nicolet.
However,
when
the
hra
learned
that
increased
density
was
not
the
preference
of
the
hra
and
the
city
council
on
those
lots
with
some
other
factors,
that
would
be
an
example
of
where
the
city
council
would
not
want
to
utilize
their
discretion
to
to
support
these
incentives.
Think
of
them
like
density
incentives,
although
under
under
the
zoning
code,
they
they
are
slightly
different
and
do
different
things.
F
Ordnance
change,
9.18.
With
the
height
bonus,
this
staff
recommends
approval
of
a
greater
height
bonus
of
one
additional
story
and
10
additional
feet
above
the
height
limit
set
forward
in
the
city's
height
limit
maps.
This
adds
value
for
more
market
interest
in,
for
example,
three
level
townhomes,
and
it
also
provides
increased
density
to
larger
developments
that
lower
per
unit
cost
and
allow
for
deeper
affordability.
F
9.19
parking
reduction
staff
recommends
changing
the
parking
reduction
for
a
development
with
20
of
its
units
qualifying
as
extremely
low
income
for
a
25
parking
reduction
when
outside
the
transit
area
and
a
working
reduction
within
a
designated
transit
area.
Given
the
city
priorities
for
units
at
30
percent,
am
I
and
below
this
change
is
meant
to
further
incentivize
inclusion
of
these
types
of
units
and
projects.
F
9.20
enclosed
parking
space
conversion
allowance
staff
recommends
that
a
development
with
twenty
percent
of
its
unif
units
qualifying
as
extremely
low
income,
affordable
housing,
would
qualify
to
convert
one
hundred
percent
of
required
and
close
parking
spaces
to
unenclosed
parking
spaces.
Once
again,
given
city
priorities
for
units
30
am
I
and
below.
This
change
is
meant
to
further
incentivize.
Inclusion
of
these
types
of
units
in
the
projects
include
enclosed
parking
is
significant
development
costs.
F
Some
developers
have
argued
that
it
could
be
a
safety
concern
with
with
visibility
and
that
it
definitely
can
be
a
concern
with
snow
plowing
and,
just
to
note,
the
city
council
supported
this
change
for
lindale
flat
9.22
alternative
exterior
materials.
Allowance
staff
recommends
adding
engineered
wood
to
the
list.
F
Given
the
city's
priorities
for
units
at
50
and
30
percent
ami,
the
change
is
meant
to
further
incentivize
those
types
of
units
developers
also
report
a
significant
reduction
in
requests
for
storage
space
and
that
existing
storage
pace
space
is
under
utilized.
Many
developers
are
working
to
incorporate
much
more
storage
space
inside
the
units
that
what
as
well,
which
is
deemed
to
be
more
secure
and
more
accessible.
F
Currently,
it's
a
nine
percent
requirement
of
affordable
units
to
access
a
50
reduction.
So
this
is
not
going
all
the
way,
with
100
reduction
in
storage
space,
but
incentivizing
further
reduction
for
the
50
and
30
ami
units,
and
with
that
I
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
B
Thank
you,
michelle
quest.
I
would
suggest
that
if
anybody
has
any
kind
of
broad
questions,
let's
ask
them
how
and
then,
if
there
are
any
specific
questions,
what
I
would
ask
you
to
do.
Ms
showquist
is
quickly
kind
of
go
through
each
of
the
changes
we
can
have
it
up
on
the
screen
for
a.
D
D
I
was
taking
notes
as
we
went
here,
but
if,
if
michoquist
could
give
us
a
kind
of
an
overview
of
you
mentioned
the
input
in
in
general
terms
from
developers
that
was
reflected
quite
a
bit
and
other
sources,
but
in
terms
of
the
process
of
making
these
recommendations,
who
were
the
the
the
players
involved,
there's
just
an
overview
summary.
F
Chair
thorson
and
commissioner
olsen
there
were
any
engagement
occurred
through
the
three
city
council
joint
hra
study
sessions
between
august
and
october
of
last
year,
the
twin
twin
cities,
lisk
posted
a
conversation
with
developers
and
lenders
and
a
conversation
with
government,
philanthropic
and
non-profit
partners.
F
We
also
brought
the
recommendations
to
the
bloomington
housing
action
team,
the
all
of
the
original
stakeholders
and
all
of
the
new
developers
and
lenders
and
philanthropic
and
non-profit
partners
that
came
to
the
table
since
the
launch
of
the
ordinance
were
consulted
in
2020..
F
Additionally,
we
presented
this
information
today
at
the
bloomington
housing
action
team,
and
we
are
working
with
the
minnesota
multi
housing
association
to
bring
together
another
meeting
with
property
owners
and
the
urban
land
institute
to
bring
together
another
meeting
with
housing
developers.
F
We
will
also
when
the
ordinance
changes
are
published.
On
thursday
we
will
send
out
an
email
to
all
the
former
list
of
stakeholders
from
when
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance
was
launched,
and
I
you
know,
I
must
say
that
I
am
constantly
getting
feedback
from
property
owners
and
developers
regarding
current
ordnance,
how
well
it's
working
and-
and
then
you
know,
also
had
received
these
minor
recommendations
for
some
clarifications
and
changes.
B
F
Yes,
I'm
working
with
both
minnesota
multi-housing
associate
association
in
the
urban
land
institute
to
try
to
encourage
more
attendance.
I
I
it's
my
personal
belief
that
the
developers
and
the
property
owners
prefer
speaking
to
us
one-on-one
than
coming
together,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
to
provide
that
forum.
In
addition
to
you
know,
working
with
with
the
property
owners
and
housing
developers
and
and
of
course,
our
philanthropic
partners
and
funders.
B
Thank
you,
my
my
follow-up
question
is:
do
you
expect
any
changes
to
these
proposed
amendments
as
a
result
of
those
meetings,
and
if
there
are,
will
they
be
coming
back
to
the
hra
prior
to
going
to
council.
F
If
there
were
major
changes,
they
would
be
coming
back
to
the
hra,
but
I
predict
that
major
major
changes
would
be
a
future
amendment
there.
As
I
mentioned
the
parking
analysis
that
the
community
development
department
and
planning
in
particular
is
leading
there's
also,
I
know,
on
the
work
plan,
a
discussion
of
adus
multiple
units
so
based
on
my
experience
working
with
this
group
of
stakeholders
over
the
past
several
months,
I
don't
anticipate
that
anything
new
would
come
up.
F
That
would
be
pushed
forward
now,
as
opposed
to
more
thoroughly
explored
between
now
and
when
another,
when
circumstances
would
necessitate
any
additional
changes
in
the
future,
but
not
at
this
time.
B
Any
other
questions
of
staff
would
there
be
an
interest
or
a
question
on
the?
Would
there
be
interest
on
the
part
of
the
commissioner
and
stepping
through
each
of
these
very
quickly
and
giving
us
an
opportunity
on
each
one
to
ask
questions
or
make
comments,
or
is
everybody
comfortable
with
what
they've
seen
so
far.
C
Here
this
is
commissioner
lewis,
I'm
comfortable
with
what
I've
seen
so
far.
I
would
I
would
not
be
opposed
if
people
wanted
to
go
through
them,
but
I
felt
it
was
a
pretty
clear
presentation.
B
Okay,
that's
great.
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
there's
quite
a
bit
there
that
if
there's,
if
anybody
wanted
to
go
through
any
you
know
with
a
finer,
a
finer
look.
We'd
have
the
opportunity
to
do
that.
I
do
have
myself
a
question
about,
I
believe
it
was
9.15
and
that
had
to
do
with
approvals
by
the
city,
council
and
and
community
development
director.
B
I
assume
that
those
you
know
come
after
discussion
and,
if
needed,
approval
by
the
hra
board,
I
mean
that
those
kinds
of
changes
would
would
be
before
our
board
at
some
point.
Prior.
F
Chair
thorson,
thank
you
for
that
question.
The
the
approval
of
the
affordable
housing
plan
under
the
ordinance
as
established
and
now
provides
the
community
development
director
and
this
with
the
authority
to
recommend
and
the
city
council
with
the
authority
to
approve
with
that
said.
The
community
development
director
had
at
this
time
appointed
me
as
staff
as
the
opportunity
housing
advisor.
F
The
planning
commission
obviously
is
necessary
not
only
for
the
affordable
housing
plan
and
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance,
but
for
permitting
and
then
on
to
the
city
council
for
for
final
approval.
I
believe
that
the
hra
and
the
city
council
have
the
biggest
input
in
improving
the
public
assistance
tools
and
incentives
out
of
the
trust
fund,
whether
it's
tax,
increment
financing
or
the
affordable
housing.
Trust
fund
or
or
other
options
that
require
funding,
so
I
hope
that
is
clear
as
far
as
the
process
goes.
F
While
the
ordinance
rests
the
authority
in
the
in
the
city,
council
and
the
community
development
director.
There
obviously
are
many
boards,
and
especially
the
hra
that
that
carries
the
project
forward,
especially
the
hra
commission,.
D
As
looking
through
emails
today,
a
recent
posting
from
hr
did
not
have
a
posting
for
the
a
permanent
fulfill
of
the
director
of
community
development.
I'm
just
wondering
what
the
status
is
of
that
not
not
a
criticism
of
the
of
the
interim,
but
I'm
just
looking
for
stability
as
we
move
forward.
F
Yeah,
chair
olson,
I
defer
to
hra
administrator
coleman
on
this
question.
E
Thank
you,
chair
thorson,
commissioner
olsen
erica
coleman.
The
status
of
that
is
that
they
are
conducting
interviews
for
for
that
position,
and
so,
first
and
second
round
interviews
are
taking
place.
A
Thank
you,
chair
thorson.
I
just
had
a
little
bit
of
a
question
on
height
the
height
bonus,
it's
ordinance
change,
section
9.18.
A
What-
and
this
is
just
a
maybe
a
stupid
question,
but
do
we
know
what
the
the
height
bonus
is?
Currently
the
height
limit
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
F
The
existing
height
bonus
currently
allows
one
story
or
10
feet
and
the
proposed
amendment
to
the
ordinance.
F
Of
an
even
greater
height
bonus
of
one
additional
story,
an
additional
10
feet
above
above
the
height
limit,
set
forward
in
the
city's
height
limits
map-
I
not
being
a
planner.
I
cannot
provide
you
with
more
than
as
the
ordinance
reads,
but
I
do
know
that
planning
manager,
glenn
markigaard
and
our
now
hra
part-time
planner,
mike
palermo,
believes
that
this
is
adding
to
the
incentives
to
allow
for
a
greater
use
of
the
hype
bonus
than
has
previously
been
established
in
the
ordinance.
E
Excuse
me:
excuse
me
real,
quick,
jerry
thorson,
commissioner
huheen,
if
I
could
clarify
a
little
bit
on
that,
so
it
actually
depends
on
the
area
of
the
location
within
the
city
of
bloomington.
So
the
reason
that
it,
the
change,
is
phrased
this
way
because
planning
definitely
was
a
part
of
this.
It
depends
on
the
location
so
around
where
the
airport
is
there's
an
airport,
height
limit,
but
other
areas.
It's
six
stories
or
80
feet.
Four
stories
or
60
feet
three
stories
or
50
feet
or
two
stories
or
40
feet.
E
So
there
is
a
map,
a
colored
map,
but
you
know
when
you
look
at
it,
it
probably
doesn't
really
come
into
play
until
we're
talking
about
development,
specific
development.
So
you
can
actually
see
what
that
adjustment
of
an
additional
story
and
ten
additional
feet
above
80,
60,
50
or
40
feet
would
look
like.
F
Chair
thorson
administrator
coleman,
commissioner,
who
keem
each
and
every
one
of
these
incentives
will
be
coming
to
the
hra
and
the
city
council
for
recommendation
for
approval.
So
you
will
be
able
for
every
development
that
comes
through
to
know
what
the
what
the
added
incentive
would
be
for
the
height
bonus
for
that
particular
property.
B
Thank
you.
I
I
I
appreciate
knowing
that,
because
I'm
sure
that
every
circumstance
will
be
could
be
quite
different,
particularly
if
we
combine
the
the
height
increase
density
with
perhaps
lower
setbacks.
B
Of
course,
I
personally
would
as
we
get
higher.
I
would
like
to
see
personally
see
more
open
space
around
the
development
to
make
sure
there's
you
know,
livable
area,
you
know
around
with
less
density,
maybe
less
need
so,
but
I,
but
I
understand
that
each
individual
development
will
have
its
own
unique
characteristics.
B
Help
me
out.
I
just
have
one
quick
question.
I
know
there's
a
point
at
which
affordability
can
change
when
you
be
when
you
go
from.
You
know
certain
number
of
stories
to
to
greater,
because
it's
more
difficult
to
to
affordably
built.
You
know
what
I
what
I
guess.
B
I
call
a
stick
built
unit
and
I'm
just
wondering
if,
if
there
is
a
sort
of
a
magic
number
there
where
you
can
go
up
to
a
certain
height
and
still
keep
the
the
construction
type
affordable-
and
this
is
just
for
my
own
education.
F
Yes,
chair
thorson,
it
depends
on
the
development,
of
course,
but
it's
traditionally
up
to
six
feet
with
stick
built
before
moving
to
you
know
more
durable
infrastructure.
With
that
said,
we
have
seen
in
the
developments
that
have
come
through
the
hra
under
the
ordinance
that
that
height
limit
has
allowed
a
project
to
go.
You
know
from
from
60
units
to
80
units
or
from
100
units
to
120
units,
and
that
makes
a
really
big
difference
in
the
total
development
cost
and
the
per
unit
cost.
F
So
it
really,
if
you're,
looking
at
something
within
the
ordinance
that
provides
a
big
bang
for
the
buck,
with
lowering
per
unit
cost
and
providing
making.
You
know
incentivizing
more
affordable
housing
units.
This
one
is
a
very
important
change.
It
was.
It
was
a
good
bonus
to
start
with
and
we're
just
trying
to
deepen
it
to
to
allow
allow
the
option
to
to
have
an
even
even
greater
height
bonus.
B
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
information
again
I
wasn't.
I
wasn't.
I
am
very
much
in
support
of
this
additionalness,
I'm
just
learning
how
it
affects
construction
technique.
I
believe
I
saw
commissioner
hugh
keem's
hand
up,
and
I
know
I
saw
commissioner
olson's
up
as
well,
commissioner,
who
came.
A
Thank
you,
chair
thorson.
I
was
just
I
had
had
my
hand
up
just
a
little
bit
ago
and
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that.
Thank
you,
miss
coleman
and
mitchell
quist
for
clarifying
that
my
concern
was
just
I
know
like
with
some
of
these
developments.
Sometimes
they
go
in
some
partially
residential
areas
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
hype
bonus
was
going
to
be
specific
to
those
areas.
So
so
residents
weren't
seeing
something
completely.
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
would
appreciate
a
little
more
fleshing
out
on
the
parking.
I
know
we've
talked
about
that
a
lot
we've
seen,
requests
come
in
and
aware
that
developers
see
that
as
an
opportunity
for
reducing
costs,
but
but
two
two
things
one.
I
believe
ms
show
question.
D
You
commented
about
lindale
flats
and
I
recall
some
of
the
specifics
about
that
as
we
were
seeing
the
development
plans,
but
I'm
wondering
I
don't
recall
in
response
to
my
question
about
the
stakeholders
that
had
input
into
all
of
this,
how
how
do
the
changes
in
parking
affect
and
how
do
residents
respond
to
less
enclosed
or
whatever.
F
Chair
thorson,
commissioner
olson,
I
believe
your
question
is
focused
more
on
the
enclosed
parking
space
conversion
than
the
parking
reduction
in
general.
So
I
will
address
that.
First,
the.
F
When
we
had
conversations
with
with
property
managers
and
and
residents
through
the
bloomington
housing
action
team
and
the
earlier,
the
bloomington
housing
coalition.
F
Additionally,
the
it
seemed
in
b-hat
today
and
in
the
past
residents
are
are
often
equally
concerned
about
how
close
the
project
is
to
bus
and
light
rail
transit
and
how
often
the
bus
service
is
near
that
development.
F
One
of
the
reasons
we
would
like
to
focus
density
in
certain
areas,
like
the
gateway
district
in
lindale
avenue
in
particular,
or
over
in
the
south
loop,
is
to
try
to
increase
density,
to
provide
more
the
metropoli
metro.
Transit
to
you
know,
really
look
at
providing
more
alternative
bus
and
lrt
routes.
F
So
I
think,
there's
been
a
mix,
and
this
raises
the
number
of
units
that
are
required
to
meet
this
to
to
access
this
parking
space
conversion
from
9
to
20
of
the
units,
but
it
does
allow
allow
100
conversion
from
enclosed
parking
space
to
unenclosed
parking
space.
C
Commissioner
lewis,
I
move
to
recommend
approval
of
the
amendments
to
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance.
B
Motioned
by
commissioner
lewis,
second
by
commissioner
hukim
and
I'll,
do
the
roll
call
vote.
Commissioner
hi,
commissioner
lewis
aye
commissioner
olsen
aye
commissioner
thorson
is
an
eye
motion
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Everyone,
nice
work.
I
know
we've
talked
about
some
the
need
for
some
of
these
along
the
way
and
it
continues
to
be
exciting
to
see
the
the
progress
and
the
interest
on
party
developers
on
to
discussion.
Item
item
5.0,
6.1,
hra
programs
update.
G
Good
evening
mr
chair
and
commissioners
ryan
hartman
couple
three
program
updates
for
you
this
evening,
as
you
remember
for
when
we
set
our
calendar
for
this
year,
we'll
do
program
updates
at
the
first
meeting
of
every
month
and
then
development
updates
of
the
second.
G
Our
section
house
choice,
voucher
program.
We
do
not
yet
have
a
bud
from
hud.
They
are
in
the
process
of
working
through
the
budget
budgeting
process
for
that
program.
So
we
won't
expect
to
see
anything
probably
until
the
end
of
march
is
my
guess,
but
given
that
we
taken
a
look
at
our
available
funding
and
have
determined
that
we
can
make
elections
off
our
waiting
list,
I
think
I
mentioned
it's.
G
The
last
time
we
met
and
we've
selected
25
people
off
our
2014
list
and
we've
actually
heard
from
20
of
them,
which
is
a
pretty
high
return
rate
when
we
make
selections
off
our
waiting
list.
So
it's
exciting
to
be
able
to
offer
assistance
to
those
families,
so
we'll
be
working
with
them
and
issuing
them
vouchers
here,
early
spring,
our
single
family
home
improvement
loan
program.
As
you
know,
the
city
council
approved
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
strategic
priorities,
funds
to
the
this
program
and
the
neighborhood
program.
G
We
call
it
and
that
we
have
had
that
transfer
from
the
finance
department.
So
it's
in
our
hra
account
and
we
are
actively
committing
those
funds.
Now
we
also
have
seen
an
uptick
in
repayment
of
old
loans,
both
for
the
neighborhood
program
and
also
for
the
cdbg
program,
which
is
good.
That
was
pretty
quiet.
G
Last
year
our
anticipated
program,
income
from
repayments
was
was
down
from
what
we
anticipated
so
we're
hoping
that
that
trend
continues
and,
as
you
know,
as
those
loans
are
paid
off,
we
can
make
new
loans
with
that
returned
money.
G
And
then,
lastly,
at
our
next
meeting
on
the
second
meeting
of
february,
representatives
from
senior
community
service
will
be
present,
we'll
be
approving
their
2021
contract
for
hra
funding,
so
deb
taylor
and
her
staff
will
be
here
to
be
presented
a
short
presentation
on
their
program
and
the
important
work
they
are
doing
and
how
it
has
changed
during
the
pandemic.
So
look
forward
to
seeing
them,
of
course,
as
always
so.
B
G
All
I
have
mr
chair
for
program
updates
and
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
B
E
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
thorson,
erica
coleman,
hr
administrator,
so
we
did
have
a
really
good
discussion.
Last
time
discussed
starting
with
the
bylaws,
and
there
were
a
few
questions
of
commissioners
of
staff
and
or
legal
counsel.
So
in
your
packet
in
the
public
packet,
there
is
a
hra
act
and
opening
meeting
law
provisions.
I
just
want
to
thank
our
general
counsel,
carla
peterson,
for
taking
the
time
to
really
put
that
together.
E
It
gave
information
around
some
of
the
questions
that
were
posed
as
well
as
the
why,
for
for
quite
a
few
things
that
were
included
in
the
bylaws,
I
think
the
easiest
way
to
do
it.
This
time
is
to
share
my
screen
so
myra
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
share
my
screen
because
last
time
it
was
really
difficult
trying
to
follow
along.
E
Great
so,
let's
see
this
is
the
marked
up
version
that
was
included
in
the
packet.
You
did
get
a
pdf
version
of
this,
so
it
might
have
been
a
little
complicated
to
look
at.
I
just
want
to
go
through
and
show
that
everything
that's
in
here
is
what
we
discussed
as
well.
E
As
we
did
add
the
section
for
emergency
meetings
as
discussed,
and
the
language
that
was
added
was
recommended
by
general
legal
counsel,
and
this
information
comes
straight
from
the
steps,
the
statute,
so
it's
statutory
language,
and
so,
let's
see
everything
else,
except
for
section
k.
I
do
want
to
highlight
this
because
it's
journal
of
votes.
E
This
was
also
information
provided
by
general
counsel.
That
stated,
we
need
to
have
a
journal
of
votes,
and
so
the
votes
of
the
commissioners
on
an
action
taken
in
a
meeting
required
to
be
open
to
the
public
must
be
recorded
in
a
journal
kept
for
that
purpose.
The
vote
of
each
commissioner
must
be
recorded
on
each
appropriation
of
money,
except
for
payments
of
judgments,
claims
and
amounts
fixed
by
statute.
E
E
And
so
it's
a
just
a
notification
for
administ
for
commissioners
to
know,
and
so
we
can
go
to
right
where
we
were.
I
believe
we
left
off
at
article
3
commissioners,
officers,
administrator
staff,
and
we,
I
don't
believe
we
have
an
update
yet
regarding
the
appointment
process
as
notated
here,
that
the
mayor
of
bloomington,
with
the
approval
of
the
city
council,
is
responsible
for
appointing
the
hra
board.
Commissioners
and
our
previous
discussion
was
to
look
into
that
and
to
see
exactly
what
is
the
actual
process
and
verify
the
practice
with
the
council
secretary.
E
So
next
is
terms
of
service.
Hra
commissioners
shall
be
appointed
for
five
year
term.
Each
vacancy
in
an
unexpired
term
shall
be
filled
for
the
remainder
of
the
term,
for
which
the
original
appointment
was
made.
That
again
is
statutory
language
for
the
five-year
term,
and
then
we
ended
on
city
council
members
that
any
city
council
member
of
the
city
of
bloomington
may
be
appointed
and
may
serve
as
a
commissioner
of
the
hra.
This
is
this.
E
This
is
a
discussion
by
all
of
the
hra
commissioners
and
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
also
have
asked
a
city,
the
city
manager,
in
terms
of
what
what
does
the
city
manager
city
leadership
city
council?
Do?
They
have
any
guidance
or
input
on
either
way
on
having
a
council
member
as
a
voting
member
commissioner
or
having
a
council
member
as
a
non-voting
member
commissioner.
So
when
I
hear
back,
I
will
report
back
to
the
board
about
whatever
input
I
I
received.
D
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
say
maybe
more
fitting
just
before
we
started,
but
I
was
really
appreciative
of
the
work
that
staff
and
legal
counsel
carl
carla
peterson
did.
This
was
a
lot
of
good
work
and
it's
except
for
needing
to
use
my
glasses.
More
often,
it
was
very
helpful
how
you
prepared
us
for
tonight.
Thank
you,
including
what
we
are
going
through
now.
E
All
right
great,
thank
you
very
much,
chair
thorson,
and
thank
you
for
that,
commissioner
olson.
So
section,
b
officers
there
are
no
proposed
changes
to
this
section.
The
officers
of
the
hra
shall
consist
of
a
chair,
a
vice
chair,
a
secretary
and
such
other
officers,
as
shall,
from
time
to
time,
be
chosen
and
appointed
by
the
commissioners.
E
D
E
Okay,
I
here
or
see
none
so
I'll,
move
on
to
the
next
section,
so
you'll
see
here
that
the
the
numbering
changes
and
the
reason
that
it
changes,
because
officers
is
the
section
and
the
subsections
of
chair
vice
chair
and
secretary,
shall
be
numbered
and
not
lettered
they're,
not
different
sections.
So
that's
the
first
change
and
then
the
chair
shall
be
selected
by
the
commissioners
and
shall
preside
at
all
meetings
of
the
commissioners
and
propose
change
of
an
addition,
as
required.
The
chair
shall
be
responsible
for
certification
of
official
actions
of
the
hra.
E
That
is
adding
that
to
the
bylaws,
and
that
would
be
the
signature
process
by
the
chair.
Any
questions
or
thoughts
on
that
edition.
E
All
right
number
two
vice
chair:
there
are
no
proposed
changes
to
the
vice
chair,
subsection.
The
vice
chair
shall
be
selected
by
the
commissioners
and
shall
preside
at
all
meetings
of
the
commissioners
in
the
absence
of
the
chair
and
shall
perform
such
other
duties
as
may
be,
as
may
be
assigned
by
the
commissioners
in
the
case
of
death,
requi
retirement
or
resignation
of
the
chair.
The
vice
chair
shall
perform
and
be
vested
with
all
the
duties
and
powers
of
the
chair
until
such
time
that
a
new
chair
is
chosen
by
the
commissioners.
E
Three
secretary,
so
this
section
changes
just
a
tad
striking.
The
commissioner
shall
select
the
commissioner
who
shall
act
in
the
capacity
as
the
secretary
and
updating
it
to
state.
The
secretary
shall
be
selected
by
the
commissioners
period.
The
secretary
shall
be
responsible
for
attesting
official
actions
of
the
hra,
and
so
that
is
just
the
witness
and
witnessing
by
signature
process.
That
actually
is
happening,
but
this
is
pretty
making
it
clear
in
the
bylaws
any
thoughts,
questions.
E
Okay,
so
now
we'll
move
on
to
section
c,
the
reason
it's
changed
is
because
section
b
and
then
included
the
subsections
of
chair
vice
chair
secretary.
So
now
this
is
section
c
administrator.
E
There's
not
many
changes.
We're
keeping
the
commissioner
shall
appoint
an
administrator
who
shall
not
be
a
commissioner
comma,
but
who
may
be
an
employee
of
the
city.
The
administrator
shall
be
responsible
for
one
securing
supervising
and
directing
any
personnel
required
for
work
to
be
accomplished
by
the
hra
and
removing
the
semicolon
and
putting
a
period
yeah
sorry
and
then
for
number
two
striking
providing
for
the
taking
of
and
preparing
and
adding
recording
of
the
minutes
for
each
meeting
of
the
hra.
E
Four,
the
general
administration
financial
management
of
the
affairs
of
the
hra
pursuant
to
policies
determined
by
the
commissioners,
striking
and
in
the
semicolon,
and
adding
a
period
and
then
five
any
assigned
response,
any
other
responsibilities
assigned
by
the
chair
of
commissioners.
Are
there
any
questions,
updates
changes
or
additions
to
the
duties
set
forth
here
for
the
administrator.
E
All
right
section,
d
staff
services:
there
are
no
proposed
changes
to
staff
services.
E
E
The
the
first
changes
in
section
a
fiscal
year
is
just
changing
calendar
from
a
capitalized
c
to
a
lowercase
c
and
adding
s
on
the
end
of
undertaking.
So
the
calendar
year
shall
be
the
fiscal
year
of
the
of
the
hra.
E
However,
other
fiscal
years
for
specific
purposes
or
undertakings
of
the
hra
may
be
established
as
required
or
desirable.
I
think
this
was
a
question
before
our
year
is
january.
To
december
our
fiscal
year,
our
calendar
year,
section
b,
budget,
the
following
budgetary
proceedings,
are
hereby
established.
So
there
is
an
addition
with
section.
E
Excuse
me,
subsection
one
to
make
it
more
clear
and
aligned
with
the
previous
changes
we
did
earlier
and
a
budget
shall
be
prepared
by
the
administrator
who
shall
present
the
budget
to
the
commissioners
of
the
hra
for
consideration
striking
the
first
meeting
of
august
and
changing
it
to
at
a
regular
meeting
of
the
hra
in
september
of
each
year
number
two
subsection
two
there
were
no
changes.
E
This
is
detailing
what
the
budget
shall
include
and
then
number
three
subsection
three
just
for
more
clarity.
After
full
consideration
of
the
budget,
the
commissioners
of
the
hra
shall
give
their
approval
to
it,
and
the
chair
of
the
hra
show
cause,
and
this
actually
was
it
probably
wasn't
worded
correctly.
She'll
cause
the
budget
to
be
submitted
to
the
city
council
not
later
than
the
city
council
meeting
in
december
of
each
year.
So
it
is
reflecting
the
changes
and
dates
that
we
have
already
outlined
any
questions
or
comments.
E
E
All
right
section,
d
contracts
and
procurement-
this
was
just
making
it
clear
that
subsection
one
is
general
that
all
construction
work
and
work
of
demolition
and
clearing
contracts
for
services
or
for
repairs,
maintenance
and
replacements
and
every
purchase
of
equipment,
supplies
or
materials
and
contracts,
therefore,
shall
be
in
accordance
with
the
procurement
policy
of
the
hra
section
two.
E
This
is
capitalization
of
approval
of
contract
by
attorney,
and
then
one
edition
which
are
two
editions
but
except
for
the
purchase
of
expendable
office
supplies
and
those
standardized
program,
contracts
from
the
local
state
or
federal
government.
That,
in
the
judgment
of
the
administrator,
do
not
require
an
it's
striking
attorney
and
saying
legal
review.
E
No
contract
should
be
made
by
the
hra
through
any
officer
or
employee,
except
in
writing
and
approved
as
to
form
by
the
attorney
for
the
hra
and
then
adding
which
approval
need
not
be
evidenced
by
the
attorney's
signature
on
the
contract.
That
is
for
clarification
purposes.
E
There
really
has
been
conversation
on
whether
there
needs
to
be
an
attorney's
signature
to
show
approval
or
review,
and
we
have
a
staff
has
suggested
or
recommended
that
there
does
not
require
to
have
an
additional
signature
on
the
contract
to
show
approval
and
review
subsection
three
execution
of
contracts.
There
are
no
proposed
changes
to
the
execution
of
the
contracts
which
execution
is
the
assigned
of
the
administrator
or
an
assignee
of
the
administrator.
E
In
the
absence
of
the
administrator
section
e
disbursements
again,
subsection
1
is
just
capitalization
federal
funds
and
there's
no
other
proposed
changes,
subsection
two
official
depository
just
to
update
with
the
times
adding
or
wire
transfer
it
states.
It
shall
be
disbursed
only
by
check
which
could
put
us
in
a
bind.
So
we
have
or
wire
transfer
to
add
that
technology,
subsection,
3
checks,
there
are
no
proposed
changes.
E
The
signature
on
the
checks
will
remain
the
same
and
the
checks
will
be
drawn
on
the
bank
accounts
of
the
hra
article
5
powers
and
duties.
The
here
we're
just
capitalizing
chapter
of
minnesota
statutes,
chapter
469.,
no
other
proposed
changes,
and
then
article
6
amendments
stating
these
bylaws
may
be
amended
at
any
meeting
of
the
hra,
provided
that
notice
of
such
proposed
amendment
is
provided
to
each
commissioner
of
the
hra
at
least
10
days
prior
to
such
meeting.
E
The
amendment
of
the
bylaws
and
the
vote
required
shall
be
in
accordance
with
that
with
that
set
forth
under
the
voting
provisions
of
these
bylaws,
and
that
would
be
us
reviewing
discussion
discussing
at
this
time
and
bringing
back
a
clean
and
redline
version
for
the
commissioners
to
vote
on
at
the
annual
meeting
on
march
9th,
which
would
be
more
than
10
days
notice
for
when
we
put
the
notice
out
for
that.
So
I
will
stand
for
any
questions
comments,
but
that
is
the
end
of
our
eye.
Loss.
C
Yes,
it
is.
Thank
you,
sorry.
I
should
put
my
video
back
on.
So
I'm
a
live
person.
I
just
wanted
to
compliment
the
staff
and
the
work
that
went
into
this.
I
appreciated
the
clarification
and
the
simplification
of
a
lot
of
things
in
the
removal
of
unnecessary
language.
C
D
One
of
the
things
that
we've
spent
a
fair
amount
of
time
talking
about
was
the
fact
that
not
that
we
need,
I
mean
it's
good
for
bloomington,
to
be
unique
for
good
reasons,
and
this
could
be
one
of
them,
but
we
have
a
more
complicated,
detailed
bylaws
than
is
apparently
the
norm
in
minnesota,
and
so
we
talked
about
moving
some
things
to
policy
and
I
think
we've
done
that
a
little
bit,
but
I'm
just
wondering
the
moment
since,
since
we've
talked
about
that,
if
there
could
be
another
pass
by
staff
and
legal
to
to
just
determine
if
there
are
some
things
that
would
be
better
off
dealt
with
his
policy.
E
Thank
you,
chair
thorson,
commissioner
olson,
outside
of
what
we
discussed,
staff
has
not
brought
forward
anything
else
that
should
be
that
would
better
fit
as
policy,
but
carla
peterson.
Our
general
counsel,
is
on
the
on
the
meeting
and
I
will
ask
carla:
is
there
anything
that,
in
your
opinion,
should
be
a
policy
that
we
have
left
in
the
bylaws.
H
Oh
I'm
trying
to
start
my
video,
but
it
doesn't
seem
to
want
to.
Let
me
I'm
here
though,
today
erica.
Maybe
you
can
scroll
up
a
little
bit.
I
I
think
what
we
discussed
to
move
was
maybe
some
of
the
agenda
items,
and
so
I
believe,
if
you
just
go
a
little
higher
up
here,
yeah
so
stop
there.
If
you
would
so,
I
think
this
is
the
agenda.
H
If
I'm
remembering
correctly
for
the
regular
meetings,
oh
scroll
up
just
a
tad
more,
I
want
to
see
the
title
of
the
section,
yes
regular
meetings,
so
I
think
we
propose
to
move
that
into
policy
if
we
go
down
a
little
bit
further,
there's
also-
or
maybe
it's
up
further
but
somewhere
in
here.
There's
an
agenda
for
that
was
still
left
in
there
down
here.
In
the
voting
wait,
no
voting,
we
did.
Actually
it
must
be,
above
I'm
sorry,
I'm
trying
to
direct
erica
without
having
the
printed
copy
sitting
in
front
of
me.
H
Okay,
yes,
conduct
a
business
at
the
annual
meeting,
so
we
discussed
moving
that
into
a
policy
document
which
I
don't
believe
we
have
started
yet,
and
that
was
something
I
don't
normally
see
that
specific
of
an
agenda
in
bylaws
it's
up
to
the
commissioners.
If
they
would
like
to
move
the
specific
agenda
for
the
regular
meetings
into
a
policy
document,
I
believe
we're
still
showing
that,
as
in
the
bylaws
other
than
that,
I
think
all
of
the
changes
that
staff
has
discussed
and
recommended
are
helpful.
H
B
Thank
you.
I
do
have
one
broad
question
having
to
do
with
the
bylaws
stating
that
the
commissioners
are
appointed
by
the
city
council.
B
You
know
period
and
then
we've
had
some
discussions
here
about,
and
I
realized
there's
more
input
to
come,
but
about
whether
or
not
a
commissioner
should
be
a
city
council
member
in
other
discussions
about
what
the
makeup
could
be
as
a
possible
discussion
in
our
policy.
It
sounds
like
versus
bylaws,
but
how
does
I
I'm
curious
carla
from
your
perspective,
how
any
anything
we
put
into
either
our
bylaws
or
our
policy?
Wouldn't
that
be
as
it
relates
to
the
appointment
of
commissioners.
B
Wouldn't
that
be
overridden
by
whatever
the
council
decides
when
they
decide
to
appoint
commissioners
for
an
opening
they're
not
held
to
anything.
We
I
put
it
the
bylaws
well,
certainly
in
our
policy.
H
Well,
I
think
here
that
the
most
pertinent
thing
is
the
state
statute,
which
was
included
in
your
package.
469.03
subdivision
6,
specifically
talks
about
appointment
and
says
the
commissioner
shall
be
appointed
by
the
mayor
with
the
approval
of
the
governing
body.
So
we
are
not
able
to
change
that.
We
are
able
to
change
whether
the
number
of
city
council
members.
H
We
can
decide
that
as
a
body
as
to
whether
we
want,
as
erica
has
pointed
out,
a
city
council
member
as
a
voting
member
or
a
city
council
member
as
an
ex
official
member
or
whether
we
want
to
limit
the
number
of
council
members.
But
we
are
not
able
to
change
the
statutory
provision
that
says
the
commissioners
are
appointed
by
the
mayor,
although
from
last
meeting
it
sounds
as
though
perhaps
this
is
completely
following
that
practice
and
I
believe
administrator
coleman
indicated,
staff
is
continuing
to
follow
up
with
the
city
on
that.
H
So
we
should,
I
think,
continue
to
follow
up
with
that
and
make
sure
we
understand
the
process,
and
if
we
want
to
make
further
adjustments
in
the
bylaws,
we
certainly
could
do
that.
I
would
suggest
that
would
be
a
provision
that
would
probably
be
most
appropriate
in
the
bylaws
rather
than
a
policy.
If
we
were
going
to
define
the
makeup
of
the
of
the
board
of
commissioners
more.
B
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
it.
I
and
I
I
understand,
what's
in
the
what's
in
the
statute
as
it
relates
to
how
the
commissioners
are
appointed
appointed
by,
I
said
council
but
appointed
by
the
mayor
and
approved
by
the
council,
but
I'm
saying:
should
we
as
a
board
decide
that
we
want
our
bylaws
to
state
that
you
know,
for
example,
a
council
person
would
be
ex
official
can't
the
council.
This
is.
H
Yes,
chair
thorson
commissioners,
I
believe
you're
asking.
Can
we
in
our
bylaws
specify
something
that
can
be
overridden
by
the
city
council?
H
I
have
not
specifically
analyzed
that
question,
but
I
believe
that
you
have
the
ability
to
specify
in
your
bylaws
again
whether
you
have
council
members
or
not
from
you
know
our
research
that
we've
done
on
other
hras.
B
So,
at
least
in
practice,
that's
operating,
but
we
don't
know
necessarily
whether
a
future
city
council
might
choose
to
appoint
a
council
member,
provided
we
move
away
from
that
and
that
that
and
that
they
would
have
the
legal
ability
to
do.
That.
Is
that
correct.
H
That's
correct
and
it
ideally
and
I've
done
this
before
with
other
hras,
specifically
with
working
with
the
county
hra
recently
the
the
preferred
practice
to
do
what
you're
describing
would
be
to
have
both
the
city
council
and
the
hra
board,
adopts
these
parameters
as
to
the
makeup
of
the
hra
board,
so
that
that
they're
saying
they
also
agree
that
they're
only
going
to
appoint
x
number
of
council
members
to
your
board.
D
Welcome
hi.
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
following
on
that,
a
little
bit
there's
a
couple
of
issues
that
were
discussed,
including
in
the
comments
on
the
right
margin,
which
I
appreciated
that
we
haven't
dealt
with
tonight
and
so
I
know
we're
waiting
on
reports
from
the
city,
administration
and
so
on.
But
I
think
this
is
a
time
for
us
to
resolve
those.
However,
and
I'm
I'm
not
I'm
not
critical
of
how
how.
D
City
council
input
happens,
but
in
terms
of
representation
for
housing
and
redevelopment,
we
really
don't
have
provisions
in
our
bylaws
and
certainly
not
in
our
practice,
to
work
toward
having
representation
from
people
affected
by
hre
action
and
one
way
that
we've
talked
about.
D
It
is
in
terms
of
going
up
to
five,
six
or
seven
members,
and
I
believe,
perhaps
a
comment
from
you,
carla
on
the
right
margin
at
one
point
that
that
that's
something
that
you
could
promote
and
I
believe
or
not
enough-
were
to
promote
but
to
pursue
and
and
that
you
indicated
that
it
was
not
likely
to
be
a
controversial
thing
with
the
legislature
and
that
we
could
increase
to
six
or
seven
people
and
that
would
permit
us
to
or
the
council.
D
I
guess,
actually
to
permit
them
to
appoint
people
to
this
commission
that
that
could
be
with
some
guidelines
about
having
representation.
D
And
I
know
bottom
line
from
my
time
on
the
on
the
council
is
that
finding
the
best
people
for
serving
in
any
capacity
by
appointment
needs
to
be
seeking
the
best
and-
and
I
think
it's
really
time
for
us
to
indicate
that,
in
my
opinion
that
like
in
some
others
like
on
the
diversity
commission,
that's
not
the
right
word
but
and
and
some
others
that
youth
are
are
one
spot
needs
to
be
designated
for
youth.
D
And
I
think
that
the
council,
maybe
from
discussion
that
we
pass
on
to
them
that
that
we
need
to
put
on
the
table
that
it's
important
for
a
body
like
this
to
have
voice,
votes
and
again,
potentially
ex-official
and
not
voting.
But
I
think
we
need
to
put
that
on
the
table
and
pursue
it.
So
I
would
I
what
I'm
basically
saying
is.
D
If
it's
only
one
council
member
but
right
now,
a
council
member
on
the
commission
has
a
vote,
one
of
seven
on
the
council
and
one
of
five
in
this
body,
so
just
like
us
us
to
stay
with
us
until
we
resolve
it
better
than
we
have
it
at
this
point,
thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner
olson
I
was
gonna
bring
up
the
same
thing.
I
do
want
to
see
us
having
a
full
discussion
on
the
idea
of
expanding
the
board
and
requesting
of
the
of
the
processes
that
would
take
place
to
to
begin
that
process,
whether
it's
reaching
out
to
our
legislative
coalition
to
see
if
their
support
has
a
beginning
and
sponsoring
or
whether
it's
done
through
lobbyists
or
whatnot.
But
I
I
completely
agree.
B
We
want
to
have
those
discussions
and
they
may
you
know
require
that
we
revisit
the
bylaws.
I
think
this
is
an
excellent
process.
We've
gone
through
to
clean
up
the
bylaws,
but
you
are
absolutely
right.
There's
some
ideas.
We
talked
about
that.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
focus
on
those
as
as
part
of,
and
that
could
certainly
be
a
part
of
our
our
next
strategic
planning
meeting,
because
I
think
that's
that
is
a
certainly
expanding
the
board
and
expanding
the
diversity
is
a
strategic
priority
or
it'll
could
is
part
of
that
process.
B
B
If
not,
this
discussion
will
continue
and
there
will
be
a
vote
on
the
change
of
the
bylaws
at
our
annual
business
meeting.
Correct
no
action
needed
tonight.
E
Tonight
and
it
would
be
a
vote
at
the
annual
meeting,
but
you
would
be
made
available
of
answers
to
the
questions
that
we're
able
to
get
answers
to
discussion
or
points
of
clarification
with
the
city,
council
and
city
leadership,
as
well
as
a
clean
and
redlined
version
to
review
beforehand.
D
I
thank
you.
Thank
you,
ms
coleman.
I
administrator
coleman
did
what
you
say
indicate
that
our
next
meeting
we
would
have
a
cleaned
up
copy,
with
the
red
line
or
whatever
that
we
have
discussed
while
it
would
redline,
but
also
that
that
the
issues
that
mark-
and
I
just
talked
about
would
would
there
would
be
some
response
from
whoever
in
the
city
would
be
important
to
get
their
input
too.
Did
you
say
that.
E
Thank
you,
chair
thorson,
commissioner
olson.
I
did
not
promise,
but
I
do
expect
that
by
our
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting,
which
would
be
february
23rd.
I
should
have
responses
to
all
of
the
questions
posed,
not
to
say
that
we'll
have
a
solidified,
solidified
point
or
point
of
what's
the
word
coordination
when
we
come
together,
but
I
should
expect
to
have
responses
by
our
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting
in
two
weeks
on
february.
23Rd.
B
Thank
you
any
other
questions
or
comments.
Looking
at
the
agenda
looks
like
we
are
at
the
end
of
our
agenda
at
this
point.
If
there's
no
other
discussion,
I
would
look.
B
All
right,
thank
you.
I
I
see
no
other
items
on
the
agenda
for
this
evening.
If,
if
there's
no
other
discussion,
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
evening.
B
Motion
by
olsen
second
lewis
to
adjourn
the
meeting.
I
will
now
do
a
roll
call
vote,
commissioner,

thorson

is
now

Thank
you
again.
