AMENI!JllING M:EM:lBENSJHIlIP OF WESTlBNOOrrn PATIO HOMIES ADVISORY BOARD
ProJ)osed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Authorize the appointment of Jane Pillips
to the Westbrooke Patio Homes Advisory Board.
With this motion, Ms. Phillips will replace Del Grabowski on the advisory board for the
Westbrooke Patio Homes housing improvement area project.
Overview
The City ofHopldns has the authority to establish housing improvement areas under the Housing
Improvement Act (1994 Minnesota Laws, Chapter 587, Article 9, Section 22 through 31).
Within a housing improvement area, the City can sell bonds to pay for various improvements to
individual housing units and common areas. Those bonds are then repaid through fees imposed
on the owners of the units.
0 The legislation that gives the City this authority states that the City Council may create an
advisory board in conjunction with the establishment of a housing improvement area. This board
is to act in an advisory capacity to both the City Council and the Association Board of Directors.
An advisory board was created and members appointed by the City Council in May 1998.
The Westbrooke Patio Homes Association has requested that an owner who sold their unit be
replaced on the advisory board. The advisory board will continue to be involved with the
improvement project until the work is complete.
Primary Issues to Consider
This is an administrative action resulting from the sale of a unit by a member of the advisory
board. Since he is no longer an owner, the Association has recommended replacement by an
owner who is currently a member of the Association Board.
