Absent: Richard Enrooth, Al Plaistad, Jim Haugen, Marland Johnson, Mikki Gottwalt, John DURand and Mary Cotroneo.

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. -z- Mr. Kuross commended Mr. Krier and Westwood Planning for the excellent job done during the study process. • Motion by Mr. Kuross and seconded by Mr. Kelly to pass the following resolution on to the Council for their consideration. "Whereas, the City Council has identified the Kenzie Terrace area as an area in need of a study for possible revitalization; and Whereas, in order to accomplish that goal, the City Council appointed the Kenzie Terrace Task Force; and Whereas, the Kenzie Terrace Task Force, in coordination with and the service of a consultant in its meetings, studied the options available for possible redevelopment; and Whereas, in its studies the Task Force has determined that redevelop- ment is desirable and to accomplish that redevelopment it is necessary to form an H.R.A. Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Kenzie Terrace Task Force recommends to -the City Council that the City Council hereby appoint an H.R.A. for_the City of St. Anthony.
