Board readies request for city approval to form nonprofit; staff preparing materials
Summary
The board discussed next steps to obtain City Council approval under state code to create a nonprofit entity; legal counsel and staff said materials are mostly ready and advised on the council-submission process and timing.
Board members discussed a planned request to City Council seeking permission under state law to create a nonprofit entity connected to the housing authority. Attendees said the housing authority board previously approved the concept and that City Council approval is the remaining legal step to form the entity.
Attorney Delphine told the board the authority is "pretty much ready from your side of it," and that City Council's blessing is necessary under state code for the entity to be created legally. She advised the board to prepare a staff report and presentation for City Council; the presentation materials must meet administrative requirements including an ADA check and are typically due to city staff two weeks before the council meeting.
Board members discussed assigning a small group to coordinate the submission; several commissioners said they would follow up offline with staff (Michael) and each other to schedule meetings and finalize materials. The board will need to select a legal name for the entity before submission.
Ending: Staff and legal counsel will set a timeline to assemble the staff report and presentation materials for City Council and update the board on a proposed calendar date.
