Housing&Redevelopment Authority Page 4 <br /> May 3,2004 <br /> Chair Toth asked if Arrow Building Center owns the Eagles building and former NAPA <br /> • building. Ms. Steinmetz stated that Arrow Building Center does not yet own the two <br /> buildings but is currently negotiating a purchase agreement with the property owner. <br /> Staff recommended that the HRA consider holding a visioning worksession for the area <br /> north of Hwy 10 downtown since there are currently no goals and objectives in place for the <br /> area. <br /> Chair Wilson asked if there was a suggested date for the worksession. Ms. Steinmetz stated <br /> that staff anticipates the Arrow Building Center project could be delayed longer than thirty <br /> days;therefore the worksession could be held within the next two months. Ms.Mehelich <br /> added that staff could put together date options and e-mail them to the HRA so that Chair <br /> Wilson could call a special meeting. Ms.Mehelich stated that the worksession would be <br /> scheduled for 1.5 to 2 hours in length and asked the HRA if they would be interested in <br /> utilizing a consultant to facilitate the worksession. <br /> Chair Wilson stated that the HRA should take advantage of the Arrow Building Center <br /> project delay. Commissioner Motin stated that the HRA should decide their own vision for <br /> the area north of Hwy 10 downtown before utilizing a consultant. Commissioner Toth <br /> asked that staff provide the HRA with a list of past inquiries for the area to the worksession. <br /> Commissioner Lieser asked that staff provide information on Mn/DOT's plans for Hwy 10 <br /> in Elk River. <br /> It was the consensus of the HRA that a worksession be scheduled. <br /> Chair Wilson mentioned that the 2003 Economic Development Department Annual Report <br /> was included in the HRA packet this month.
