CITY OF ST. ANTHONY KENZIE TERRACE TASK FORCE MINUTES • May 20, 1981 The meeting was called to order by City Administrative Assistant Ron Berg at 7:20 P.M. Task Force members present at the meeting: George Marks, Clarence Ranallo, Judy Makowske, Dr. Charles Kirk, Jim Gahagen, Art Kuross, Rosemary Franzese, Jerry Kelly, Hobie Swan, William Zawislak, John Madden and Roman Hentges. Absent: Richard Enrooth, Al Plaistad, Jim Haugen, Marland Johnson, Mikki Gottwalt, John DURand and Mary Cotroneo. Also present: Ron Berg, Administrative Assistant; Richard Krier, Consultant, Westwood Planning. Motion by Dr. Kirk and seconded by Mr. Swan to approve the minutes of April 8, 1981. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Krier reported on the meeting with Mr. Saliterman which he, Mr. Fornell and Mr. Berg attended. Mr. Krier perceived Mr. Saliterman as being very interested in cooperating and participating in re- development of his shopping center area. Mr. Berg agreed that Mr. Saliterman appeared interested, but also noted he has not been involved in any housing projects before, i.e., his business is that of landlord of shopping centers. Mr. Krier agreed, but noted Mr. Saliterman acknowledged that any participation on his part would necessarily also involve a third party, i.e., the City, Mr. Saliter- man, and a third party in a joint venture. Mr. Saliterman is also aware of the leverage and incentives the City could offer via such mechanisms as an H.R.A., Industrial Revenue Bonds, Tax Increment Financing, etc. In summary, Mr. Krier said that a commitment and participation from Mr. Saliterman would be necessary and that he is saying - 'I likes what I see; I'll cooperate; let's get some numbers and see how they look'. Mr. Krier next presented a scenerio of action by referencing to a prepared redevelopment chart. He noted that in order to implement- the mplement-the plan, the establishment of an H.R.A., by the City, would be necessary. Mr. Enrooth arrived at 8:05 P.M. Mr. Krier continued by outlining the procedures to establish and the powers and authority of an H.R.A. The most common method is the City Council appointing itself to serve as the H.R.A. More discussion followed on the H.R.A. process. In other discussion which followed, the Task Force agreed that a big element in making an H.R.A. work is to keep the people of the com- munity informed. The consensus of the Task Force was that a resolution be formed recommending to the City Council, an H.R.A. be formed.
