Truth-in-Housing Code Change-Evaluator Licensing Ken Roberts, associate planner, presented the staff report. The commission discussed changes to the proposed ordinance that staff had made since their last meeting. These changes included language about when an evaluator should lose his/her truth-in-housing license. Commissioner Fischer suggested a word change in Line 4 of the proposed ordinance. Associate Planner Roberts discussed the idea of creating a log for the city clerk's office to document the incoming truth-in-housing reports. It was the consensus of the HRA that the proposed ordinance (as amended at the meeting) would better meet the needs of Maplewood. Commissioner Connelly moved the Maplewood Housing and Redevelopment Authority recommend adoption of the amended ordinance, changing the requirements for licensing of truth-in-housing evaluators. Commissioner O'Brien seconded. Ayes-all Maplewood HRA Minutes of 08-13-96 -2- B. QSA Maplewood Housing Program Study Ken Roberts, associate planner, presented the staff report. The HRA reached a consensus about the housing program. Three areas of concern of the HRA were: 1. Who and how to present the proposed housing program to the city council. 2. The proposed priorities in the program. The HRA felt the transformation program could provide benefit to the city, as could the rebuilding program. 3. The idea of forming a new advisory housing task force. The HRA does not want the whole housing improvement initiative to be lost if the city council would object to forming another advisory group. The HRA felt that they could do the job of advising the council about the housing program. The commission directed staff to talk to QSA about the above-listed concerns before the council/manager workshop meeting. 7. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business. 8. DATE OF NEXT MEETING The next meeting will tentatively be scheduled for September 10, 1996. 9. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:22 p.m.
