Chairman Soderberg inquired about items 4B and 4C regarding the language “the City
will review on a periodic basis” asking how staff will be reminded to do the review;
organically or scheduled.
HRA Manager Barnes stated staff does an analysis of the Code and recommends changes
to the City Council, but not necessarily yearly or tied to a schedule allowing for
flexibility.
Council Member Judy Johnson asked why the HRA is asking City Council to adopt the
Fair Housing Policy prior to the HRA adopting it.
HRA Manager Barnes answered it is typical to have the Council approve the policy first
to ensure the elected body approves of the language in the policy.
MOTION by Commissioner Plec, seconded by Commissioner Huddleston, to
recommend the adoption of the Fair Housing Policy to the City Council. 4 Ayes.
MOTION passed unanimously.
B. Plymouth Towne Square. Review and Approve 2019 Budget.
HRA Manager Barnes gave an overview of the staff report.
Commissioner Kulaszewicz asked with the addition of a part-time maintenance employee
will there be savings on other maintenance line items.
HRA Manager Barnes replied based on the level of pay this position offers, the part-time
employee will be doing preventative maintenance and repairs/maintenance as units turn.
Commissioner Kulaszewicz asked if a full-time maintenance employee with a boiler
license would offset outside vendor cost.
HRA Manager Barnes said an employee with a class C boilers license is not qualified to
do major repairs, therefore an outside contractor will still be required.
Commissioner Huddleston added some of the costs may increase because the part-time
maintenance employee may do preventive maintenance work requiring additional parts and
materials.
Chairman Soderberg asked what appliances are in need of replacement.
HRA Manager Barnes replied mainly ranges. Plymouth Towne Square still has
approximately 60 that need replacing because parts are no longer available.
