Miscellaneous Items
Swarts stated the Study Session with the City Commission is November 3, 2004 at 9:00 a.m. in the East Lawrence Recreation Center. She noted parking is allowed on the east side of the building and the main door is on the south side of the building.
Norwood asked if the location and room was the same as before. Swarts stated that Study Sessions have been conducted there before.
Swarts noted the annual dinner meeting is September 30, 2004 at 6:00 p.m. at Stone Creek, 3801 W. 6th St. Gilchrist noted she will not be able to attend that meeting and Norwood noted she would be late.
G. Moore asked if the Committee would have a meeting before the meal. Swarts stated that at this time, there is nothing more on the agenda than approval of the minutes, but the Committee could discuss generally the upcoming Study Session.
Mayor Rundle recommended Gilchrist and G. Moore for reappointment to the Committee and the Commission approved the recommendations. There is still an opening for an at-large position and Swarts believed that the Mayor is appointing someone to fill the Oread representative position at the City Commission meeting on September 28, 2004. Please advise staff if the Committee has any suggestions for the at-large position and they will forward those to the Mayor and City Manager’s office.
Duncan entered the meeting.
Gerstner asked if the next regular meeting is October 14, 2004. Swarts stated that was correct.
Gerstner asked if the CDBG/HOME applications are available to the public. Swarts stated that packets would be available in October. She was going to put an informational packet together after the NRAC Study Session with the City Commission, but since it is not until November, staff will go ahead and make applications available along with the “Step Up To Better Housing” strategy.
Norwood asked if the Committee would continue to meet in the Neighborhood Resources Department office. Swarts stated the Committee would meet in the City Commission Room.
Dunn asked about having a landlord on the Committee. It was noted that even after Dunn and Pippert step down, there is still a landlord on the Committee. There followed a brief discussion regarding landlords and the Committee.
