Item # 6 <br /> City of <br /> Elk - .-� <br /> River <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Housing & Redevelopment Authority <br /> FROM: Catherine Mehelich, Director of Economic Development <br /> DATE: October 22, 2001 l' <br /> SUBJECT: City of Elk River Housing Plan 2001-2005 <br /> Attachment <br /> • City of Elk River Housing Plan 2001-2005 <br /> Issue <br /> Lisa Graphenteen of the Central MN Housing Partnership will present the results of the <br /> recently completed City of Elk River Housing Plan 2001-2005. The Mayor and City Council <br /> have been invited to attend the presentation. <br /> Background <br /> At its February 2001 meeting the HRA authorized the Central MN Housing Partnership to <br /> complete an analysis of the housing market condition of the city. <br /> Recommendation <br /> The Housing Plan suggests a variety of strategies that may be considered depending on the <br /> role the City wants to play in addressing the identified issues. Depending on the amount of <br /> time available, staff recommends the HRA continue a discussion about the results of the <br /> housing plan at its November regular meeting. <br /> In the past the HRA has not taken an active role in addressing housing issues, nor has <br /> housing been a priority identified through the Strategic Economic Development Plan. The <br /> strategies may be a good topic for further discussion by the HRA, EDA and City Council <br /> during the update of the Strategic Plan in 2002. <br /> • <br />
