Mayor Strommen suggested the Council entertain the presentation from MWF Properties for an <br />apartment development in The COR, but delay offering comment until a recommendation is <br />received from the Planning Commission relating to the Housing Assistance Policy. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill stated the Section 42 deadlines are approaching in two <br />weeks so it may be a project for next year. <br />Mayor Strommen suggested staff provide an overview of various financing packets to those on <br />the Planning Commission who will be considering the Housing Assistance Policy. <br />With regard to sites that would be considered, Development Services Manager Gladhill noted the <br />zoning will set the "where" and the policy will direct resources that will be used. He suggested <br />the Planning Commission address sites that would be best considered and provide that <br />recommendation. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau volunteered to act as the Council's liaison. <br />The consensus of the Council was to forward the Housing Assistance Policy framework to a <br />subgroup of the Planning Commission for review and recommendation during April and once <br />policy is formed, to then gain information from the EDA, followed by presentation to the <br />Council. During this process, staff was asked to provide periodic updates. <br />2.02: Presentation by / Discussion with Metropolitan Council Representative Ed Reynoso <br />This case was not considered due to the absence of Metropolitan Council Representative Ed <br />Reynoso. <br />3. FUTURE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION <br />Noted. <br />4. MAYOR / COUNCIL / STAFF INPUT <br />4.01: Items for Placement on Work Session and Regular Session and Consent <br />Agendas <br />Mayor Strommen asked for comment on the types of issues the Council would like placed on <br />agendas for the Work Session and Regular Session and Consent. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau stated there have been several cases that appeared on both the <br />Work Session and Regular Session meeting agendas. He stated he is willing to have the same <br />conversation on camera at the Regular Session and if it is important enough to be placed on two <br />agendas, he would prefer it be placed on the Regular Session agenda. He noted that would also <br />conserve resources and the Council's time. <br />City Council Work Session / March 26, 2013 <br />Page 5 of 9 <br />
