• V. RESOLUTION NO. 2016-05 ADOPTING THE PROPOSED BUDGET
The HRA is a separate taxing authority formed by the City Council in 1974. Although the Edina HRA
has not used its taxing authority, many other cities that have HRA's and Economic Development
Authorities (EDA's) do use the separate taxing authority allowed by MN State Statutes. Other cities in
Hennepin County that use HRA/EDA levies in 2016 include Bloomington, Hopkins, Minnetonka,
Plymouth, Richfield, Saint Louis Park, Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, and others.
HRA adoption of this resolution is a required step in the process of establishing an HRA levy for 2017.
The final levy will be considered by the HRA in December. Commissioner Swenson made a
motion, seconded by Commissioner Brindle to adopt Resolution No. 2016-05 adopting the
2017 proposed budget and establishing the proposed HRA tax levy payable 2017.
VI. ADJOURNMENT
Chair Hovland declared the meeting adjourned at 1:10 A.M. September 8, 2016.
Respectfully submitted,
