Motion by Councilmember McGlone, seconded by Mayor Ramsey, to Adopt Resolution #12 -10- 153 Authorizing the Transfer of Funds to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to be used for the Purchase of Wiser Choice Liquor as Outlined in the Redevelopment Plan of 2007, subject to the HRA approving purchase of this property. Further discussion: Councilmember Strommen stated her intention to not support the motion to transfer City funds to the HRA specifically for purchase of property owned by a City Councilmember. Deputy City Administrator/Finance Director Lund indicated Bond Counsel addressed the issue of transferring these funds to the HRA and advised that as long as it is public funds and part of the Redevelopment Plan, it meets all qualifications needed. Bond Counsel Bray advised the law allows the HRA to do certain things that it does not allow the City Council to do and there is no prohibition on transfer of funds. If approved, the HRA would be using its statutory powers to accomplish something the City Council does not have the statutory power to accomplish. Motion carried.
