Housing and Redevelopment Minutes Page 2 March 4, 2024 ----------------------------- 6.2 General Updates Mr. O’Neil updated the commission on the Coachman Ridge senior housing project, noting the developer is working with staff on how to improve their application scoring to receive federal funding. Mr. O’Neil updated the commission regarding the Main and Gates properties with Ron Touchette. The agreement will need to be amended to extend the closing date if the HRA was comfortable with it. He asked the commission if they were open to holding a special meeting in the next few weeks to consider an amendment. After discussion, the consensus of the commission was agreeable to hold a special meeting. Mr. O’Neil will reach out to them to finalize a date. Mr. O’Neil reported that Maxfield was hired by Sherburne County for an update to their 2018 housing study. He asked the commission if they wished to update the city’s housing study as a supplement to the county’s report. He stated in two years the city could do a full housing study update. The commission asked what information the supplement would offer. Mr. O’Neil will ask and also find out the cost, which he felt would be minimal. The HRA annual report was included in the packet. Mr. O’Neil stated the HRA meeting agenda formats and processes will likely change for the next meeting, explaining the new CivicClerk agenda management software for boards and commissions accessing meeting packets. The commission will receive information for accessing and using the new all-digital format. 7.
