CITIZEN INPUT <br />Jeffrey Wise, 7901 165th Avenue NW, stated at the last HRA meeting, the purchase agreement <br />between the HRA and M&W Holding LLC, of which he is majority owner, was not approved. <br />He noted the HRA had seven unanimous votes for this purchase and asked whether it was an <br />issue of timing or if the HRA was no longer interested in the project as a whole. <br />Commissioner Elvig stated the HRA learned the action was illegal for the Council and borderline <br />illegal for HRA. In addition, it appeared to be slipped through, an ugly perception. He stated he <br />supports the project and the issue is one of timing. Commissioner Elvig stated that Mr. Wise <br />being on the Council stood in the way for him being able to vote in support of the project. <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority / October 16, 2012 <br />Page 1 of 11 <br />
