COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 11, 1995 adopted Resolution No. 95 - 143 Establishing a Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Lino Lakes. As required by State Statute, following the effective date of that resolution (December 1, 1995), the City Council is required to appoint five (5) members to the commission to operate the HRA. City staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 95 - 167 appointing the Mayor and the City Council as the HRA Commission on an interim basis. When regular appointments and/or re -appointments are made to the various boards and commissions at the first of the year, the City Council may then consider alternate commission membership to the HRA or continue the Mayor and City Council on the commission. Mayor Reinert explained that he had received a telephone call asking if there would be citizen involvement on this commission. He said he hoped that the new City Council would appoint a citizen or several citizens. Mr. Schumacher explained that this item is being considered tonight so that the HRA can take action on the next agenda item. Mayor Reinert explained that if the City Council did not take action on this matter this evening, the County HRA would levy $57,000.00 against the City of Lino Lakes. The City would have no input on how this money would be spent. He felt that if the City created its own HRA, there would be no levy on the City and the City could decide to join the Anoka County HRA after they have established a "track record". Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 167. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 95 - 167 can be found at the end of these minutes. Resolution No. 95 - 168 Petitioning Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority for Authorization to Establish a Local Housing Authority - Ms. Wyland explained now that the resolution establishing a housing and redevelopment authority in and for the City of Lino Lakes has become effective, the City must, according to State Statutes, petition the Anoka County HRA to authorize establishment of the housing authority. Upon approval of this authorization, the Anoka County Board will not certify an HRA levy within the City of Lino Lakes. The City has received approval from the State Department of Trade and Economic Development for establishment of the local housing authority and Anoka County has indicated that they will approve this authorization at the December 13, 1995 County Board meeting following receipt of a certified copy of Resolution No. 95 - 168. City staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 95 - 168 Petitioning the Anoka County HRA for Authorization to Establish a Local Housing Authority. PAGE 6
