He advised that the Resolution <br />regarding the establishment of an hra had been published in the <br />"Laker" and "Pioneer" newspapers. Bernhardson explained that the <br />HRA would be a separate entity which will allow the City to <br />undertake certain housing activities that it may otherwise not <br />undertake. Members of the Orono City Council may comprise the <br />entire membership of the HRA Board of Commissioners, and would <br />then have full control of the HRA's activities. <br />Mayor Peterson asked for public input. <br />Dianne Jentilucci, 1295 Briar Street, asked if this was the first <br />HRA the City of Orono has established. <br />Bernhardson stated that as far he is aware, this is the <br />first HRA the City would establish, if Council votes to do so. <br />He noted that at some point in the past, the City had considered <br />establishing an HRA, but had not proceeded. <br />Ms. Jentilucci asked why the City was considering the <br />establishment of an HRA at this point in time. <br />- 1 -
