Review of Enabling Resolution and Bylaws <br />Mr. O'Neil presented the staff report. He asked the HRA if they would be interested in <br />discussing any changes they want to see with operating procedures or bylaws of the HRA. <br />He stated he suggested discussing how the Joint Finance Committee operates with the <br />number of members and quorum issues and determine if that aligns with the trades and <br />professions that the HRA desires to serve. <br />Commissioner Ovall stated he was open to Mr. O'Neil's feedback. He stated the HRA had <br />recently tweaked the bylaws to match with how they operate but any recommendations from <br />him is appreciated to establish workflow and facilitate current positions. <br />7.4. HRA Rehabilitation Loan Update <br />Mr. O'Neil presented the staff report. He spoke with Jim Hasnik from CEE who offered up <br />some peer city programs for the HRA to review and consider adding additional programs <br />that might fill some needs or gaps in our city. Jim suggested the HRA be open to a range of <br />possibilities. Mr. O'Neil stated he would be updating and freshening up marketing for <br />newspaper ads. <br />Acting Chair Chuba felt it made sense to him to keep the HRA's program in place even <br />though our lending limits are low but to consider adding additional programs to fill some <br />current needs. <br />
