Attorney Steve Bubul summarized the general powers of the HRA as housing and redevelopment and the general power of the EDA as economic development. This was a reiteration of the presentation of the special Council meeting held September 27. 1995. At the October 4 meeting, each HRA member in attendance verbalized their opinion to the strengths and weaknesses of the consideration to consolidate the HRA and the EDA. Thereafter, we, the four members present, unanimously agreed and recommend that the HRA and EDA am consolidate and that the existing two -commission organizational structure continue. We. the HRA members. agreed that the continuation of the established HRA and EDA was the best long-term organizational structure for the City of Monticello because the two - commission organizational structure offers a checks and balance system. Secondly. we. the HRA members. agreed that the existing two -commission organizational structure has worked well to the benefit of the developers and the city. lastly. we. the HRA members. agreed that the preservation of the HRA preserves the non -tangible HRA assets of historical value, experience, and familiarity of projects. If the City Council views the roles of the HRA and the EDA as a duplication of efforts and elects to consolidate the HRA and the EDA, then, we. the HRA members. agreed and recommend that the HRA be preserved and the EDA consolidate into the HRA. Mayor Fyle and Councilmembers October 20. 1995 Page 2 We. the HRA members, feel the HRA is in a better position to address project issues because of the HRA's historical value, experience. and familiarity of projects. Additionally. we, the HRA members. feel preservation of the HRA would best retain the checks and balance system. It is the legal opinion of Attorney Bubul that the HRA can administer the Greater Monticello Enterprise Fuad (GMEF) as per the established GMEF Guidelines. modified to reflect the redevelopment goals of the HRA. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further discussion of the recommendations. The HRA has moved forward to improve communications among the City Council and the HRA by submitting approved HRA mmwm to Coumalmembers. Additionally, the HRA Chairperson suggests panodic meetings be held between the Council. HRA. and other commission members to improve communications. to network. and to focus on common goals. We, the HRA members, appreciate the City Council halving called the special meeting of September 27 and agree the meeting outcome clearly outlined the comparison of the HRA and EDA powers and composition. Additionally, the meeting outcome dearly defined as orgenirational direction for the Industrial Development Committee (IDC). �= We, the members of the HRA, request consideration of our recommendations.
