HRA MEETING AGENDA
HRA.I. Call the Meeting to Order
Chair Case called the meeting to order at 7:02 PM. All HRA Members were present.
HRA.II. Approve the Minutes of HRA Meeting Held on December 3, 2024
MOTION: Toomey moved, seconded by Narayanan, to approve the minutes of the
HRA meeting held Tuesday, December 3, 2025, as published. Motion carried 5-0.
HRA.III. Adopt Resolution No. HRA 2025-01 Approving the Proposed 2026 Property Tax Levy
and Accepting the Proposed 2026 Budget
Getschow explains Minnesota law authorizes the HRA to levy a tax with the consent of
the City Council. The HRA must adopt a proposed net property tax levy by September
30 and certify it to the county auditor. Per Minnesota Statute, Housing and
Redevelopment Authorities can levy a tax of up to .0185 percent of estimated market
value. The proceeds may be spent on planning and implementation of redevelopment
and/or low-rent housing assistance programs with the City. The limit for the City of
Eden Prairie is $2,686,315.
Case pointed out that federal funding resources are becoming more restricted. He
asked if Eden Prairie needs to consider other income sources. Getschow stated they
don’t need to seek out more funds with the levy. Staff anticipates the City will still
receive the Community Development Block Grant funds. If not, Eden Prairie may
utilize the new regional sales tax funding. Council could use levy funds, but Staff isn’t
recommending that route for the 2026 budget.
