Title
HRA Future Meeting Schedule.

Body
Action Requested:
HRA Board to Motion Approval of Meeting Schedule for 2025.

Summary Report:
The HRA has historically held regular monthly meetings, with work sessions and subcommittee meetings scheduled on an as needed basis. Staff has received feedback from past and existing board members over the past several years with regards to the HRA meeting structure and ideas to increase efficiency. Staff worked with City Administration and the Community Development Director to develop a schedule that incorporates set work sessions and subcommittee meetings.

Subcommittee meetings are currently scheduled to meet 3 times during the year, however, more meetings might be needed and added.

Please note the following meeting dates:
* January 2, 2025 would be the first HRA Work Session
* July 3, 2025 is the day before Independence Day, Subcommittee is scheduled
