Open Forum <br /> <br /> There was no one present for Open Forum. <br /> <br />6.1 Election of Officers and Establish Terms <br /> <br /> Mr. O’Neil presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Cannon proposed to reelect the same officers as 2022. <br />Moved by Commissioner Cannon and seconded by Commissioner Larson-Vito to <br />appoint Dennis Chuba as Chair, Jennifer Wagner as Vice Chair, and Nate Ovall as <br />Secretary. <br /> <br />Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br />6.2 Designation of Committees and Assignments <br /> <br />Mr. O’Neil presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Ovall and seconded by Commissioner Wagner to appoint <br />Nate Ovall and Jill Larson-Vito as Joint Finance Committee representatives. <br /> <br />Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br />6.3 Review of Enabling Resolution and Bylaws <br /> <br />Mr. O’Neil presented the staff report. He reviewed the suggested changes regarding Article <br />5, item 5.2 and clarified the HRA would annually review the budget in August and act in <br />September. Another change was adding clarity regarding the Joint Finance Committee in <br />Article 7, aligning similarly to the Economic Development Authority, regarding the <br />occupation criteria for at-large members of the members so that the stated professional <br />representation for at-large members shift from the current practice of being a requirement to <br />a preferential standard going forward. He stated according to the bylaws, any proposed <br />amendments require notice of the members of the HRA at least 10 days prior to voting so <br />he asked for action at a future meeting. Mr. O’Neil indicated they will convert any references <br />from the term “HRA” to the “Authority” for consistency. He stated like the EDA bylaws, <br />the appointment of a chair can be done by the committee but that the chair should be one of <br />the four commissioners serving on the committee. Commissioner Ovall expressed that in <br />ensuring consistency with the EDA, it is important that the language regarding the HRA be <br />consistent with the with the whole of the HRA bylaws. <br /> <br />Mr. O’Neil stated this is the only committee the HRA has and stated in the future there may <br />be additional committees; he would like to focus on the EDA committees first and bring <br />back a model to the HRA in two or three months. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson-Vito asked if the 10-day notice could be amended to 3 days to <br />coincide with packet delivery. <br />
