Housing and Redevelopment Minutes Page 2 April 3, 2023 ----------------------------- $34,000 and the other loans are waiting for bids. He explained the staff report included most of the loan documents a borrower would be required to sign for a loan closing. Mr. Mollan was open to reviewing these if the HRA wished. 6.2 Bylaw Updates Mr. O’Neil presented the staff report. He noted in the past there were extensive signature requirements to update the bylaw document but now approval of the resolution confirms HRA approval of any updates. Chair Chuba indicated from what he could see, the major changes were in Article VII regarding preference of professional representation for appointing at-large members, which was not mandated. Moved by Commissioner Wagner and seconded by Commissioner Cannon to approve Resolution 23-01 adopting the Housing and Redevelopment Authority Bylaws as outlined in the staff report. Motion carried 4-0. 6.3 General Updates Mr. O’Neil presented the staff report. He updated the HRA on the closeout of the Elk River Meats building demolition and the change orders as approved in the consent agenda. He discussed the methods for getting turf installed in the next 2 months and connecting to the irrigation system. He noted the trees were saved and noticed one root got disrupted but the rest should survive. Commissioner Wagner asked what ended up happening with the south wall and water shutoff. Mr. O’Neil explained a locate was done and traced water to King Avenue. However, the shutoff test indicated water was still going to the building. He stated fortunately, the pipe did indeed go south in a short distance to the main. Mr. O’Neil explained the wall shored up the surrounding soil and didn’t disrupt the pavers. He stated a part of the wall is sticking up a bit and will ask the contractor to come out with a grinder. He stated the turf will likely be placed over the wall and won’t be seen. Future evaluation of the wall will need to be determined. Chair Chuba asked what feeds the water line. Mr. O’Neil stated the water is fed by a line straight west at King Avenue. 7.
