1. Budget Hearing on Proposed 1982 HRA Budget
Executive Director Nollenberger presented an overview of the proposed 1982
1
HRA budget, for all funds. He then reviewed the detailed budget for each .of the
individual HRA programs and funds. HRA members asked questions regarding program
activities.
Members requested the staff to investigate the possibility of moving an.
HRA-owned house from Graham Avenue to rehabilitate through the Housing Rehabil-
itation Program.
The HRA also discussed the advisability of using General Fund monies to
acquire property on Lake Shore Drive, since that use of the General Fund would
considerably deplete the General Fund fund balance.
• Grace Lund, 6721 Harriet, asked what properties the HRA planned to purchase°
during 1982. She was-told -that the properties on the "Godfather Block", plus
several substandard properties yet to be identified, are scheduled for acquisition.
Gordon Strom, 6532 Lyndale, asked if the HRA realistically expects to acquire
the "Godfather Block" properties. Chairman Harms indicated that the status of the
economy and the resultant constraints on private development may be a deterrent
but that the HRA expects some acquisition or development activity on that site
during the next year.
Motion by Collins, seconded by Helmberger to close the public hearing.
All ayes - Carried.
