ment Authority meeting as submitted. Voting in favor: Chairman Nyquist,

The motion passed unanimously.
DISCUSSION OF HRA LEVY
The HRA Director explained that last year the HRA had indicated that they
would prefer not to levy the 1/3 mill this year if the HRA was not actively
engaged in a project to use those funds. The HRA Director indicated that at
this time the HRA would not be in need of the funds and it was the staff
recommendation the Commissioners not levy the 1/3 mill. He stated that
the only monies that would be required would be the front end money for
the Housing Rehab Grant Program and that that money would be reimbursed to
the HRA through the Community Development Program. He stated that we are
engaged in housing programs but have been able to engage in such programs
using monies other than the City's own allocations. Commissioner Kuefler
inquired as to how much money was in the HRA Fund. The Director of Finance
indicated there was approximately $250,000. Commissioner Kuefler then
inquired if there was enough front end money to start a program and main-
tain it until the HRA would be able to again levy the tax. The Director
of Finance indicated that he felt there were sufficient funds to carry
on activities in the HRA. Following a brief discussion, Commissioner
Fignar indicated that he felt that we should adopt the staff's recommenda-
tion as long as we are able to again levy for HRA projects should it be
required. It was the consensus of the Council not to levy the 1/3 mill
for the HRA.
ADJOURNMENT
There was a motion by Commissioner Scott and seconded by Commissioner Fignar
to adjourn the meeting. Voting in favor: Chairman Nyquist, Commissioners
Kuefler, Fignar, Lhotka, and Scott. Voting against: none. The motion
passed unanimously. The Brooklyn Center Housing and Redevelopment Authority
adjourned at 9:25 p.m.
