communication situation, and staff will work with any issues they have. The contract will be brought back for the Council to consider. COMMITTEE REPORTS None. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT HRA Executive Director Nelson stated she had been presented with the opportunity to present at the ICSC conference March 8 and 9 at the 2011 University of Shopping Centers. The City Administrator will be out of town so she suggested Development Manager Lazan could represent the City. Development Manager Lazan explained the presentation and offered to go but said he would like to have an HRA member go with him. Commissioner Elvig volunteered to travel with Development Manager Lazan. Consensus was reached for Commissioner Elvig to join Development Manager Lazan. HRA Executive Director Nelson reported on the issues of the Armstrong Boulevard alignment. She asked for HRA reaction to some of the issues discussed at the meeting the previous week. Development Manager Lazan stated he wanted direction, not a motion. He questioned how much work could be done on the west side of Armstrong Boulevard. He would like to develop a single access point in realigning Sunwood Drive and asked how important it was to master plan the west Armstrong Boulevard area and how aggressive the HRA wanted to be in acquiring property. Commissioner McGlone responded he is more interested in the east side of Armstrong Boulevard. He added if the City does a good job developing the east side, the west side will follow. Commissioner Jeffrey raised the issue of funding property purchases. Commissioner Backous stated he is in favor of buying a right-of-way, but not more land. If The COR is developed as planned, this area would fall into place. Commissioner Wise suggested researching what kind of deal could be structured for the property directly to the west. Consensus was reached for Development Manager Lazan to draw up a plan to present to the HRA. Housing and Redevelopment Authority / February 22, 2011 Page 4 of 5
