Thank
you.
It
has
been
moved
by
commissioner,
who
came
with
the
second
by
commissioner
coulter

If
there
is
a
need
for
a
budget
adjustment,
then
we
requested
at
the
end
of
the
year
what
what
I,
what
happens
is
if
there
is
a
budget
line
item
that
was
underspent,
then
we'll
take
it
from
there
and
adjust
it
to
one
that
was
overspent.
Otherwise,
if
there's
any
areas
that
were
overspent,
then
we
do
decrease
the
fund
balance.
But
overall
there
should
be
enough
to
just
make
that
budget
adjustment
to
cover
any
expenditures.
E
Thank
you,
mary
and
so
chair
lewis
and
commissioners.
We
are
asking
for
a
motion
to
adopt
the
resolution
approving
2021
year
in
budget
adjustment,
request
by
the
housing
and
redevelopment
authority
in
and
for
the
city
of
bloomington
and
both
mary
and
I
are
available
to
answer
any
questions.
Should
you
have
any.
A
A
A
A
E
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
members
of
the
board,
erica
coleman,
hra
administrator,
I'm
actually
going
to
request
that
this
item
be
continued
to
the
next
hra
board
meeting,
as
it
is
a
request
of
the
developer,
they
will
be
going
through
a
comp
plan.
Amendment
request
to
the
city
council,
as
well
as
the
name
in
which
the
development
will
be
completed
under,
will
be
updated
to
an
entity
created
for
this
development
and
so
I'll.
Just
let
you
know
that
we'd
like
to
continue
this
to
the
next
hra
board
meeting.
A
A
A
A
H
A
H
Okay,
so
I
have
a
couple
slides.
Let
me
see
if
it's
possible
to
present,
I
think
so
here
so
there's
a
lot
of
background
information
provided
in
the
attached
staff
report
and
on
powerpoint
slides
that
I
provided
in
the
agenda,
but
I
do
want
to
frame
up
the
discussion
here,
quick
with
a
couple
slides
on
hotel
and
office
conversions
to
residential
type
uses,
and
in
general
you
know.
The
big
question
is:
should
the
city
encourage
remain
neutral
or
discourage
these
conversions,
and
so
usually
the
way
our
code
is?
H
You
know
we
have
certain
multi-family
standards
and
projects
aren't
always
able
to
meet
those
standards,
and
it
requires
some
back
and
forth
with
developers
on
you
know
what
kind
of
flexibility
could
be
achieved
through
the
code
and
it
would
it
helps
staff
if
we
have
some
kind
of
direction
up
front
here.
You
know
what
we
would
support
and
what
we
wouldn't
support.
So
that's
why
this
project
has
come
about.
H
A
H
You
know
one
is
the
market,
you
know,
is
the
demand
strong
enough
and
how
low
is
the
hotel
selling,
for
we
don't
really
control
that
as
much
structural
component
is
another
piece
of
it,
you
know,
can
can
the
building
itself
be
converted
easily?
Is
it
does
it
have
those
utility
hookups
now
if
the
site
is
suitable
or
not
for
living,
and
then,
if
it
meets
the
zoning
code
standards
so
really
going
to
focus
on
zoning
code
here
and
I'll
say
up
front?
H
This
is
a
map
of
the
hotels
in
the
city
and
almost
all
of
these
hotels
are
in
a
zoning
district
that
allows
residential
already
the
really
big
barrier
or
more
of
our
standards
for
multi-family,
residential
and
so
those
apply
regardless
of
zoning
district
and
the
standards
that
are
real
barriers
are
those
that
are
listed
in
the
left
column
here.
So
both
number
of
parking
spaces
and
enclosed
parking,
impervious
surface
storage
minimum
unit
size
are
all
barriers
that
we
found
when
for
these
conversions.
H
So
there
is
ways
I
mentioned
to
achieve
flexibility
in
the
code
and
that's
done
in
a
couple
ways.
So
one
is
through
our
affordable
housing
ordinance
and
just
by
meeting
that
ordinance
by
providing
the
affordable
units,
applicants
can
receive
this
amount
of
flexibility
in
the
column
shown
here
for
each
of
these
standards.
So
this
is
a
percent
less
than
what
the
code
requires
and
then,
if
they
provide
the
maximum
amount
of
flexibility.
H
H
So
you
know
really
through
this
flexibility.
It's
quite
generous.
You
know.
If
a
project
was
able
to
achieve
the
maximum
affordability,
they
could,
probably
you
know,
get
the
flexibility
needed
for
the
project.
The
difficulty
is
achieving
that
max
affordability,
it's
really
difficult,
and
for
all
of
these
it
means
achieving
30
ami
units
and
so
many
of
those.
So
it's
difficult
for
almost
every
project.
H
If,
if
the
oho
code,
flexibility
isn't
enough,
then
sometimes
plan
development.
Flexibility
is
an
option
and
that's
kind
of
more
case-by-case
basis.
It
requires
more
back
and
forth
with
developers
and
with
planning
commission
on
what
would
be
approved,
but
we
often
look
at
what's
been
approved
in
the
past,
so
even
with
crown
plaza,
that
was
a
partial
conversion.
H
H
Now,
some
just
can't
have
it
because
they're
in
the
airport
runway
district,
but
there's
others
that
if
they
were
rezoned,
they
could
potentially
allow
residential
and
planning
commissions,
saw
this
last
week
and
thought
that
some
of
those
hotels
along
494
were
better
suited.
If
there
was
a
rezoning
request
that
a
staff
tends
to
agree
to-
and
there
is
one
hotel
along
35-
that's
kind
of
the
outlier
there.
Well
that's
kind
of
more
suited
in
an
industrial
area,
so
maybe
less
suitable
for
rezoning
to
residential.
H
H
H
A
H
Has
their
own
like
bedroom
area,
but
then
they
have
shared
common
areas
for
kitchens,
maybe
bathrooms
and
other
common
space.
So
you
can
imagine,
maybe
hotels
would
be
a
better
fit
for
something
like
the
sro
type
of
dwelling
unit
and
and
so
maybe
that's
what
we
should
really
be
focusing
on
and
then
the
other
side
of
it
as
well.
We're
zoning
prohibits
residential.
H
A
G
G
A
C
Chair,
I
I
agree
with
you.
I
like
the
encouraging
aspect
of
it,
because
I
totally
like
what
you
said
about
the
city
being
the
innovators.
It
gives
us
a
little
more
control
kind
of
in
a
way,
but
it
also
shows
that
we're
looking
for
other
ways
to
get
housing
into
our
city.
You
know
housing
is
obviously
a
high
need.
I
think
if
we
can
keep
it
affordable.
I
like
that.
C
I
definitely
think
we
should
be
encouraging
this,
because
I
do
feel
that
we're
gonna
end
up
with
some
vacant
properties,
we've
already
seen
vacant
property,
obviously
in
office
buildings
with,
I
believe
it's
southgate
things
like
that,
and
I
think
if
we
can
be
ahead
of
the
game
and
really
have
these
ideas
out
there,
then
I
think
developers
are
going
to
come,
probably
knocking
to
the
city
and
say
hey.
You
guys
are
really
forward
thinking.
This
is
really
creative
and
good
good
way
to
move
forward
and
I
just
think
any
more
housing.
C
A
D
Yes,
thank
you.
No,
I
I
would
say
I'm
I'm
generally
in
agreement
with
you,
madam
chair
and
commissioner,
who
I
think
to
the
point
that
commissioner,
who
keem
just
made,
I
I
don't
think
it's
really
much
of
a
question
that
we
are
going
to
see
vacant
hotel
properties.
I
you
know
I
it
to
me.
It
seems
the
debate
is
probably
more
the
extent
to
which
we
will
and
I'm
assuming
sort
of
the
process
that
these
would
go
through.
H
Yeah
yeah,
thank
you,
commissioner
coulter.
So
that's
correct
residential
is
a
permitted
use
in
a
lot
of
the
zoning
districts.
However,
you
know
pretty
much:
any
project
is
going
to
need
code
flexibility,
which
is
then
council
approval,
so
right
that
I
think
anything
we
see
will
will
require
public
hearing
and
approval.
D
D
We
should
be
ready
to
go
on
and
ready
to
work
for
work
with
folks
on,
and
you
know,
I'm
generally
speaking,
I'm
in
favor
of
being
proactive
on
redevelopment
rather
than
sort
of
sitting
back
and
and
letting
the
market
handle
it.
Because,
lest
we
forget,
governments
are
market
actors
too
right.
We
we
set
the
rules
and-
and
we
you
know,
we-
we
have
a
role
to
play
here.
So
I
think
this
is.
D
B
A
E
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
just
one
I
just
wanted
to
let
the
hra
board
commissioners
know
that
on
the
28th,
so
next
monday
I
will
be
taking
the
hra
board
work
plan
2022
work
plan
that
was
approved
by
you
all
to
the
city
council.
As
an
informational
item,
I
will
also
be
including
the
2021
accomplishments
of
the
hra
board.
Thank
you.
A
A
E
I
Thank
you
erica
and
commissioners,
as
you
have
been
notified,
I
have
accepted
another
position
and
my
last
day
with
the
aha
will
be
tomorrow,
and
while
I
make
this
transition
to
a
professional
opportunity
for
me,
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
tremendous
support
of
of
the
work
that
the
hra
does
myself
included
in
that
and
just
really
highly.
Thank
you
for
your
commitment
to
the
important
work
that
the
a
trade
does
through
our
housing
programs
through
redevelopment
all
of
the
things
that
the
h
rate
touches.
I
A
D
I
just
I
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity,
while
he
was
still
here
to
to
thank
mr
hartman
for
his
services
city
of
bloomington,
the
chance
to
talk
with
him
face-to-face
on
saturday
and
tell
him
personally,
but
I
wanted
to
say
so
in
the
public
meeting
as
well,
that
I
I
have
really
truly
enjoyed
working
working
with
mr
hartman.
I
found
him
to
be
knowledgeable
and
responsive
and
just
a
model
employee.
D
What
what
I
I
think
we
should
expect
from
our
city,
employees-
and
I
will
I
will
tell
you
as
well
that
I
have-
I
have
learned
quite
a
lot
about
housing
from
him
in
including
even
in
my
my
graduate
work
where
one
of
the
first
assignments
I
did.
I
actually
interviewed
him
on
the
nature
of
the
affordable
housing
crisis.
So
I
I
am
sorry
to
see
you
go,
but
but
they're
they're,
our
loss
is
their
gain.
G
I
E
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
so
I
just
also
want
to
say
that
it
is
a
loss
to
have
brian
move
on,
but
we
are
proud
of
him
and
congratulate
him,
and
this
is
farewell
see
you
later.
This
is
not
goodbye.
I
have
told
brian
he
might
get
some
phone
calls
from
me.
So
just
so
appreciative
of
your
dedication,
your
commitment,
your
time,
your
knowledge
and
experience
with
the
hra
has
been
truly
valuable.
So
thank
you.
E
I
I
do
want
to
add
that,
because
it's
such
a
big
transition
with
with
brian,
we
have
interim
support
with
barb
wolfe,
who
is
also
on
tonight.
Barb
wolf
is
special
projects
and
initiatives
manager
with
the
community
development
department,
and
she
has
agreed
to
be
interim
support
as
hra
program
manager
during
this
time
of
transition.
So
I
just
want
to
welcome
and
introduce
barb
wolfe.
J
Thank
you
and-
and
I
just
have
to
echo
what
everybody
said
about
brian
hartman
and
I've
been
at
the
city
for
nearly
11
years
and
worked
in
community
development
with
brian
and
and
just
hearing
all
the
knowledge
that
brian
was
downloading
to
me
today
in
two
hours
time
I
was
like
you
know
I
I
need.
I
need
a
break
from
the
load,
but
I
am,
I
am
excited
to
take
on
the
additional
responsibilities
and
to
work
with
the
hra
commission.
J
For
most
of
you,
I
don't
think
I'm
a
stranger
to
the
hra,
so
you
have
seen
me
around
before,
and
I
have
a
lot
of
experience
in
leadership
and
management
and
a
very
good
high
overview
of
hra.
So
I'm
excited
to
dig
in
and
up
for
the
challenge
and
just
like
erica
said,
we
may
have
a
few
phone
calls
to
brian,
just
because
there
is
such
that
deep
knowledge
at
the
city
for
for
all
the
time
that
he's
been
here.
