1.0onsideration of ArexKling Senior Housing Board By -Laws as they
Relate to Selection of Persons to Board Vacancies
Ara Avak, representing Mr. Crosby, and John Allman, stated that
upon the occurrence of the initial vacancy on the Board of the
Housing Corporation, Mr. Allman advised Council of the existence of
the vacancy and recounended a procedure which involved the review
and interview of potential replacements by an ad hoc Committee of
the Senior Housing Corporation Directors. This procedure, although
in conflict with Section 4(d) (3) was publicly reviewed and
approved by Council and was the procedure utilized in replacing Mr.
Bill Busick with Mr. Kenneth Schofield. Mr. Avak further stated the
Senior Housing Board agreed with Mr. Jones regarding the operative
provision of the Bylaws of the Housing Corporation governing the
filling of vacancies in Section 4(d) (3) and they (Sr. Housing
Board) do not feel that the general statement regarding this matter
contained in Section 4(c) (2) takes precedence and because of the
ambiguity this could create in the future the Senior Housing Corp.
Directors do not object to its deletion. The Directors are prepared
to recommend an amendment to the Bylaws for consideration by the
Senior Housing Board at it's next regularly scheduled meeting. If
approved, this amendment would be presented to Council for review
and approval.

Meeting.
.. ■- - -
City Manager Art Jones reiterated to Council one of the four points
raised for addressing the City's fiscal problem is the analysis of
long -term economic development strategy as it affects future
revenues. Mr. Jones continued by stating that the evaluation of
such an effort should address the potential for creative public
financing, developing more retail use, business revitalization
where appropriate and the full protection of economic strategies
under law. Mr. Jonas concluded by reccnmiending to Council that such
a study be considered and the analysis should focus on bringing the
community together. A study of this nature should be conducted by a
firm experienced in economic development. The cost for such a firm
might range from $8,000 - 12,000. Such a firm could build on the
General Plan and offer suggestions on the best return for our
economic development.
It was the consensus of Council to direct the City Manager to
proceed with the Economic Development study options. Councilman
Jacobson asked to see the proposals.
