Memorandum of Understanding
Between City of Golden Valley and Golden Valley Community Foundation
BACKGROUND
At the July 2016 Council/Manager meeting, the City Council created a committee to
evaluate opportunities for furthering the relationship between the Golden Valley
Community Foundation ("Foundation") and the City of Golden Valley ("City"). Mayor
Shep Harris, Finance Director Sue Virnig, Parks & Recreation Director Rick Birno, and
City Manager Tim Cruikshank represented the City and Linda Loomis, Dean Penk, John
Kluchka, and Jeffrey Prottas represented the Foundation. After meeting in August and
October, the group created this document for consideration by the City Council and the
Foundation's governing board.
MISSION
The mission of furthering the relationship between the City and Foundation is to
increase and best leverage the Foundation's capacity to have a positive impact on the
Golden Valley community through the services it provides and work it performs, and
thereby improve the welfare of the community as a whole. It is understood that a
positive and collaborative relationship between the City and Foundation increases the
Foundation's capacity, which in turn benefits the City and the community. The
Foundation uses philanthropy, community initiatives and funding support to address the
changing needs and interests of GV neighbors and friends.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to clarify the relationship between the City and
Foundation.
STATEMENT
The City recognizes that the Foundation's work improves the general welfare of the
Golden Valley community, reduces the administrative and financial burden on City
government and results in delivery of services to the community that the City may not
otherwise have the resources or capacity to deliver. The City believes in the role of a
community foundation and respects the Foundation's history and accomplishments. The
City appreciates the desire of the Foundation to strive to have an even greater impact in
Golden Valley for the overall good and well-being of the community, residents, and
businesses.
OFFICE SPACE
The City agrees to lease office space to the Foundation effective June 1, 2017. The
space will be the area located across from the DMV in the lower level of City Hall. It is
19'2" by 12'Y or approximately 228 square feet. The 2016 annual market value of this
office space is $18/sq. ft. or$4,104. This is net rent which includes taxes and utilities, as
provided by the County Assessor. The Foundation will be responsible for its own office
services and equipment, including phone number/system, computers, mailbox, office
furniture, copier, fax, and the like. The Foundation will collaborate with the City on
appropriate signage on and/or adjacent to the office door.
The consideration to be provided to the Cite by the Foundation in return for the office
space includes that the Foundation will be responsible for, in full or in substantial part,
the Market in the Valley Farmers' Market (or similar program/event) between June and
October and the annual Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival (or similar program/event).
The City believes these two events are important to the welfare of the community. If not
for the Foundation's responsibility for these two events, the City would need to and
would choose to operate these events itself, and the cost to the City of doing so would
exceed the market value of the leased space. The City recognizes that the Foundation
may now and in the future operate and provide additional events, programs and
services that benefit the community beyond those two listed above.
The office space will be provided to the Foundation under a formal lease agreement,
with a month-to-month term and the City providing at least 90-days' notice prior to any
termination. Terms of the lease shall address issues of access and insurance, along
with other customary lease terms determined by the City. With regard to access, the
Foundation will have access to City Hall during normal business hours. The City will set
specific times for after-hours access and will control access to City Hall via electronic
keycard for these times. This will be done for safety and liability reasons. Access will
only be allowed to City Hall for purposes of utilizing the Foundation's leased space. With
regard to insurance, the Foundation must be insured and the City must be listed as an
additional insured on the policy or in the form of a rider.
BROOKVIEW COMMUNITY CENTER
The City is developing a policy for the use of community space in the new Brookview
Community Center ("Brookview") by private groups like the Foundation. The City
expects the policy will generally provide that service organizations using the facility for
not-for-profit uses will likely not pay a room rental fee. However, no outside food or
beverage will be allowed to be brought in and therefore any food or beverage service
would be required to be purchased from Brookview or one of its authorized vendors.
COMMUNICATIONS/ADVERTISING
The City will incorporate the Foundation into its Facebook page, website, publications
and electronic billboard in the following manner:
1. The City website will include a link to the Foundation website on the "About Golden
Valley" page and will include links to Market in the Valley and the Golden Valley Arts
Music Festival on the "Community Events" page. Both events will also be included

Market in the Valley website. On the website home page news feed, the City will
promote the Golden Valley Arts & Music; Festival twice before the event. Promotion

City will share Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival Facebook posts to the City
Facebook page to promote the Golden 'Valley Arts & Music Festival twice before the
event. The City will select which event posts to share when multiple options are
available, and may coordinate selections with the Foundation.
3. The City electronic billboard will promote Market in the Valley starting one month
before opening day and throughout the season until closing day. The City electronic
billboard will promote the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival starting one month
before the event. Other Foundation events will be promoted on the electronic

City's electronic billboard policy.
4. The City will list Market in the Valley and the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival,
with links to the respective websites, on the "Upcoming Events" page in the editions
of Golden Valley CityNews that precede! the events. During the inaugural year of this
agreement, the City will provide one news story about the agreement in CityNews as
space allows. The City will provide space in its Recreation Activities Catalog to
promote Market in the Valley and the Golden Valley Arts & Music Festival in the
issue preceding each event. Promotions will be sized as space allows, and finished
artwork must be provided by the Foundation.

summary of Foundation opportunities and an authorization for the City to share an
applicant's contact information with the Foundation for the purposes of promoting
participation in the Foundation's Board or Teams. The form of the authorization will be
determined by the City and an applicant's decision whether to provide such
authorization will be voluntary.
CITY FUNDING/GRANTS FROM FOUNDATION
The City and Foundation will work collaboratively to streamline the process by which
funds specifically donated to the Foundation for the purposes of funding a City project
for example: park equipment) are delivered to the City.
FUNDRAISING
The City recognizes fundraising is a critical aspect of what the Foundation does.
However, the City will not solicit funds on behalf of the Foundation, including through
any of its communication tools. The Foundation acknowledges City officials will need to
consider both real and perceived conflicts of interest arising from any involvement they
may have in the Foundation's fundraising activities, and such conflicts may limit or
prevent their participation in such activities.
ANNUAL MEETING
A meeting between the City and the Foundation Board representatives will occur at
least annually at Council/Manager meetings designated by the City.

Agenda Item
2. Section 8 Anti-Discrimination Ordinance
Prepared By
Cherie Shoquist, Housing and Economic Development Manager
Summary
An identified City Council priority for 2021 is to enact a Section 8 Anti-Discrimination Ordinance
requiring Golden Valley rental property owners to participate in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
Program to increase housing options for low and moderate income earners. At the July 13, 2021 City
Council / City Manager Meeting, the Council directed staff to pursue options for the City to enact its
own Section 8 Ordinance designed to fit its existing infrastructure.
Enacting a Section 8 Anti-Discrimination Ordinance in Golden Valley would specifically protect people
under City ordinance from being discriminated against based on receipt of Section 8 program
assistance. This approach could benefit the City by increasing housing options for low and moderate
income earners with Housing Choice Vouchers. It could also have the effect of increasing the number
of property owners in the City who accept Housing Choice Vouchers.
Options for Next Steps
Given the complicated legal context and resources required to enforce a Section 8 ordinance, staff
recommends the Council consider the following options for next steps:
1.The City could enact its own Section 8 Ordinance. Owners would be able to screen applicants as
they normally would with credit and background checks. Exceptions would be included for
landlords who would face an "undue hardship" if they were required to participate in the
Section 8 program. The Ordinance would be included in City’s Civil Rights Ordinance and
enforced by private right of action, not by the City.
2.Before the City enacts its own Section 8 Ordinance, it could conduct extensive research to
establish that the Ordinance will increase housing opportunities for voucher holders. To do so it
is necessary to determine the number of rental units with rents within the Section 8 payment
standards and rental properties that accept Section 8. The data that is necessary to move
forward includes a Comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment and Section 8 / Metro HRA
Housing Choice Voucher Study.

3. Safe Tenant and Renter (STAR) Program Discussion
Prepared By
Cherie Shoquist, Housing and Economic Development Manager
Summary
An owner or property manager that owns or manages more than one rental dwelling in the city may
qualify for a discounted license fee by participating in the Safer Tenant and Rental (STAR) program
(or similar program) approved by the City Council. Based on recent changes to the City’s “crime free
housing ordinances,” staff recommends additional changes to the STAR program for multifamily
rental properties:
1. Change the name of the STAR program from “Safe” to “Stable” Tenant and Renter program.
2. Revise the participation requirements to better reflect the City’s commitment to fair housing
and to advance the City’s mixed income housing goals.
3. Cap the per unit discount at 151 units for market rate rental properties.
Background
On November 4, 2020 the City Council amended the City Code relating to the Crime Free and
Disorderly Conduct Sections of Chapter 16, Article III, Rental Housing Licensing or Ordinance No. 694.
On October 7, 2020 at the Council/Manager meeting, Council requested that staff proceed with
changes to the City’s “crime free housing ordinances.” These changes included: removing references to
the City’s disorderly conduct ordinance; clarifying that multifamily property owners are eligible for a
discounted license if they participate in the Safer Tenant and Rental (STAR) program; no longer
requiring property owners to attend crime-free training, include a crime-free/drug-free addendum in
private rental agreements, or take action against tenants should they or their guests be recognized for
disorderly conduct; and, the city will no longer be able to take action against landlords based on their
tenants’ conduct. On July 13, 2021 at the Council/Manager meeting, Council requested that staff
pursue changes to the STAR program to reflect the City’s Fair Housing and Mixed Income Housing
policies.
Staff from the Police, Fire (including Rental Property Inspections), and Physical Development
Departments as well as the City Attorney and the City Manager met to review the STAR program
between April and October, 2021. The STAR program was also reviewed by property owners and
managers at the June 10 and September 9 STAR program meetings. General recommendations
include that the STAR program will meet quarterly, information will be shared by City Departments,
Council Work Session Executive Summary
City of Golden Valley

and a wide variety of education and training will be provided. The recommendations to change the
name, participation requirements, and fee reduction cap for 151 units or more was discussed with
property owners and managers at the September 9, 2021 STAR Program meeting and individually
with interested property owners and managers.
1. Change the name of the STAR program from “Safe” to “Stable” Tenant and Renter program.
The change to “Stable” Tenant and Renter Program Stable encompasses safe, secure, steady, well-
built and balanced. This definition includes safety and is more in line with City's goal of preserving
and promoting economically diverse housing options in our community by creating high quality
housing in Golden Valley for households with a variety of income levels, ages, and sizes.
2. Revise the participation requirements to better reflect the City’s commitment to fair housing
and to advance the City’s mixed income housing goals.
In addition to the above, staff recommends consideration of revisions to the participation
requirements at each level of fee reduction. The fee is $35 per rental unit with no STAR participation.
The more participation in the STAR program, the lower the fees.
The current participation requirements and fee reductions are:
Level 1: Participate in one meeting; fee reduced to $20
Level 2: Participate in two meetings and host a Night to Unite or similar gathering to
engage community; fee reduced to $12
Level 3: Participate in three meetings; fee reduced to $8
Level 4: Participate in 5 hours of multi-housing or property management continuing
education (provided through the Minnesota Multi Housing Association); fee
reduced to $0
Recommended participation requirements in addition to meeting participation for the existing levels
and fee reductions for consideration include (additions underlined):
Level 1: Commit to fair housing practices under the City’s Fair Housing Policy and commit
to not discriminating against Section 8 program participants
Level 2: Host a Night to Unite or similar gathering to engage community
Level 3: Property managers complete an additional 5 hours per year of multi-housing or
property management continuing education (file a copy of Minnesota Multi
Housing Association or similar certificate); including a minimum of 3 hours of fair
housing training
Level 4: Provide or preserve affordable housing under the City’s Mixed Income Housing
Policy
or
Provide NOAH rents at up to 60% AMI for 50% of the rental units in the building
Council Work Session Executive Summary
City of Golden Valley
October 12, 2021

or
Provide subsidized affordable housing at up to 60% AMI for 100% of the rental
units in the building as a non-profit organization
and
Complete Rental Housing Rates Form
The Level 1 commitments to fair housing and Section 8 anti-discrimination reinforce City policies to
advance diversity, equity, inclusion and fair housing. The Level 2 requirements remain the same. The
Level 3 requirement of multi-housing or property management continuing education including 3 hours
of fair housing education furthers the commitment to fair housing. The Minnesota Multi Housing
Association’s annually required fair housing curriculum is 3 hours. Many of our property management
companies have their own annual fair housing education that may also be considered. The Level 4
requirements advance City policies to encourage the development and preservation of mixed income
housing. The completion of the rental housing rates form will validate the participation level and
provide affordable rent information on an annual basis.
3.Cap the per unit discount at 151 units for market rate rental properties.
The 151 per unit discount only applies to market rate rental properties; not to mixed income, Naturally
Occurring Affordable Housing, or subsidized affordable rental properties. Market rate multifamily
rental properties with 151 units or more will receive a discount on the $35 per unit license fee based
on level of participation for 151 units and will not receive a discount on the $35 per unit license fee on
additional units of 152 or more.
The next steps are for staff to incorporate the discussion from this meeting into the STAR program and
if necessary, the City Council would approve changes to the STAR program at the same time as the fee
ordinance in November.
Financial or Budget Considerations
The rental licensing fee per unit is $35. There are 2,374 multi-family rental units in the city in 30
complexes. Without fee reductions through property owner or manager participation in the STAR
Program, the total per unit rental license fees are $83,090. Staff will present the fees under the
existing requirements and the proposed requirements at full participation in the STAR Program for
review.
Recommended Action
Discussion:
1.Change the name of the STAR program from “Safe” to “Stable” Tenant and Renter program.
2.Revise the participation requirements to better reflect the City’s commitment to fair housing
and to advance the City’s mixed income housing goals.
3.Cap the per unit discount at 151 units for market rate rental properties.

Agency to assist with a potential project regarding vacant ROW and highway turnback parcels. As part of that
project, the City committed to considering a Public Land Disposition Policy – language that would help direct
decision-making by elected officials as to the use of publicly owned property. The policy was discussed with
the City Council in June, when they received the accompanying community engagement report. At that
meeting, staff and Council Members discussed the potential to adopt a full ordinance rather than a policy,
establishing the public land disposition rules as part of the City Code. This is the first discussion of the
ordinance and staff is seeking preliminary feedback before any public hearings necessary for its adoption by
the City Council.
Ordinance Description
The Public Land Disposition Ordinance draft by staff can be broken down into 4 key components:
•Purpose – Outlines the intention behind the ordinance, addresses the need for additional affordable
housing, and notes how the ordinance seeks to impact the overall provision of affordable housing.
•Definitions – Defines terminology used in the ordinance, so as to be better understood by a potential
reader. It is important not to assume whoever is reading the ordinance is familiar with real estate
jargon.
•Process for reporting and identifying suitable public land – Lays out the process of inventorying public
lands, establishes a hierarchy of uses, and sets standards for what is considered
buildable/developable.
•Process for disposing land – Outlines options available when making land available to a party outside
of the City of Golden Valley.
Together, these sections should provide a clear and logical path for determining suitability of sites for
affordable housing, and taking some subjectivity out of the process. Staff was deliberate in steering eligible
land towards affordable housing, so long as it met some standards of suitability, however this preference in
the ordinance should not be at odds with other governmental services. Staff hopes that the ordinance will, in
addition to increasing affordable housing opportunities, lead to a fuller understanding of City-owned land and
more efficient use of those properties.

To summarize the procedure, on an annual basis, Physical Development staff would present to the City
Housing Redevelopment Authority (HRA) an inventory of all City-owned properties, information on their
current use, and in subsequent years any changes in their use. Every third year, an additional supplement
would be provided for these properties outlining justifications for preserving the properties as they are, either
due to an existing use of the property or a stated long-range goal or policy of the City. In this fashion, land
currently identified in the Comprehensive Plan or Park Plan, for example, could still be used towards its guided
end. The HRA would have authority to overrule staff on a particular justification, or to designate another
property for retention not called out by staff. With the supplement, property not identified for retention by
the HRA would be considered “surplus” and the HRA would enter the process for deciding how it should be
used or disposed of.
Staff established a hierarchy of uses for land identified as surplus, which is roughly as follows:
•Essential Government Services (public safety, traffic, public utilities)
•Affordable Housing, if suitable
o Suitability includes:
Sufficient size
Suitable site characteristics
consistent with zoning code
Consistent with goals and policies
Compatible with neighborhood
•Open Space, natural areas, recreational facilities
•Transfer to adjacent landowner or commercially reasonable sale
The inclusion of essential government services is included here for those properties which may not have an
active use, or be identified in a long-range plan, but which may have some capacity to improve the City’s
provision of service to its residents. However, it is deliberately the only item with a priority above the
provision of affordable housing.
In regard to suitability, staff tried to account for all factors that would play a role in redeveloping a piece of
land as a residential property. It needs to be large enough to support a home that would be built to City zoning
standards. Also included is the consistency with City policies and compatibility with neighborhood. This is to
remain cognizant that infill development will unavoidably impact immediate neighbors, and that any such
action should not result in housing otherwise out of scale with its surroundings. This factor will also be
dependent on redevelopment partners selected for affordable housing sites, but inclusion here in the
ordinance reinforces the City priority of protecting existing residential neighborhoods.
Staff has also discussed how to handle properties that may be located in commercial or industrial areas that
may or may not be suitable for housing of any type. In this case, staff sees the consideration of suitability with
the neighborhood being a point at which the HRA could decide that housing is not compatible in a particular
industrial area. However, it still leaves some flexibility in cases of commercial areas that may mutually benefit
from multi-family housing, providing local consumers to those businesses, and walking access to shops and
stores for residents. It does raise a larger question for the Council to consider, which is whether they feel the
policy should also address land disposition for economic development purposes. Currently this would likely fall
under the commercially reasonable sale step, with land being sold to a developer or non-profit to use.

The final section outlines the options available for the actual disposal of property. It’s important to note that
in a case where property will be used for affordable housing multiple options exist, whereas if the City is
simply selling the property to a third-party for any other reason, the sale must be “commercially reasonable”.
This term is defined fully in the ordinance, but effectively means that the sale is for a fair market value of the
property and cannot be sold to a City employee or official. In cases where the property being disposed is
planned to become affordable housing, options outside the commercially reasonable sale are allowed. The
City could transfer the land to another governmental institution, a qualified public or private non-profit, or to
another public development authority. Under any of these options, the transfer or sale can be for less than
market value. The ordinance here is mostly hands off in describing the process for selecting a development
partner, but does include that the HRA could bid for the project in a fair and competitive fashion, or to directly
negotiate with a development partner.
One final area that staff is still reviewing is whether or not the ordinance should anticipate and address lands
owned by the HRA versus the City, and whether an additional step in the disposition process should formally
include the transfer of land from the City to the HRA before transfer to an outside agency or partner. This
seems like a logical step; however, staff would like to confirm if there are any benefits or drawbacks to the City
disposing the land directly, versus the HRA. In either instance, staff feels it makes sense that the HRA would be
the body to review the annual report on land holdings in their capacity as the redevelopment authority for the
City.
Financial Or Budget Considerations
This proposed ordinance would establish a procedure for evaluating and potentially disposing of city-
owned real property. The exact financial impacts would depend on the actions taken by the City.
Recommended Action
Staff is seeking feedback and initial thoughts.

ORDINANCE TO PRIORITIZE SURPLUS PUBLIC LANDS FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING
AN ORDINANCE relating to the acquisition, management, sale, leasing and disposition of
personal and real property for and by the City.
Sec. XXXX. – Purpose.
The City of Golden Valley, in recognition of the shortage of affordable housing within the City,
encourages the use of vacant, unused parcels of land located within and owned by the City for
the development of affordable housing. It is the City’s intent to identify and catalog real
property owned by the City that is no longer required for its purposes and is or may be suitable
for the development of affordable housing for low-income, and very low-income households.
Affordable housing needs and opportunities shall be considered before surplusing public lands
for other purposes that are non-essential to local government operation.
Sec. XXXX. – Definitions.
For purposes of this ordinance, in addition to the terms defined above, the following terms
shall have the meetings set forth below:
A. “Commercially reasonable sale” means a sale or other conveyance that is an “arms length”
arrangement, for the fair market value of the property. A commercially reasonable sale or
conveyance may be by auction, private sale, trade-in as a component of replacement of
obsolete property for new property, sealed bids, or by broker or agent listing. City
employees and elected officials shall be prohibited from purchasing or otherwise acquiring
any interest in any City surplus property.
B. “Disposition” means the lease or sale of property or other disposition as defined in this
chapter.
C. “Affordable housing” means residential housing that is rented or owned by a person who
qualifies as a “very low-income,” or “low-income” or who is from a special needs
population, and whose monthly housing costs, including utilities other than telephone, do
not exceed 30 percent of the household’s monthly income.
(i) “Very low-income household” means a single person, family, or unrelated persons
living together whose income is at or below 50 percent of the median income,
adjusted for household size, for the City where the affordable housing is located.
(ii) “Low-income household” means a single person, family, or unrelated persons living
together whose income is more than 50 percent but is at or below 80 percent of the
median income where the affordable housing is located.
D. “Nonprofit corporation, qualified” as used in this chapter means private or public
corporations duly organized according to the laws of the state of Minnesota, which non-
profit corporations are exempt from taxation under USC 501(c) as amended, and which
have a proven ability to provide affordable housing or can otherwise show an ability to do
so and meet obligations that may be imposed in a conveyance of property to meet
affordable housing needs. For purposes of donation of surplus personal property, this term
shall also mean a nonprofit corporation that serves or benefits low-income or very low-
income persons or persons with disabilities.
E. “Property” as defined by this chapter means all real property (real estate) owned in fee
simple title by the City of Golden Valley, located within the City’s incorporated municipal
boundaries. “Property” shall also mean all personal property (non-real estate) and all real
and personal property originally acquired for public utility purposes. “Property” shall not
include public streets, alleys, and rights-of-way which are subject to vacation and
disposition. “Property” shall not include any equity interest in real or personal property held
or owned by the City except for real estate security interests taken or released to secure the
installation of development improvements.
F. “Surplusing” means the process of identifying property that is no longer required to meet the
duties and responsibilities of the City, and instead discharging such property in a fashion
that is consistent with the ordinance language below.
Sec. XXXX. – Policies for Determining that Property is Surplus and should be Designated for
Affordable Housing Purposes.
A. No later than June 30th of each calendar year, Physical Development Staff will coordinate
with other City departments and shall submit a report to the Golden Valley Housing
Redevelopment Authority(HRA) on the status of all real property for which the City is the
custodian and include in the report any change in use or status since the previous year's report.
B. No later than June 30th of every third calendar year beginning with 2022, City Staff shall
submit an additional supplement to their report, to justify retention of all real property for
which the City is the custodian. This supplement should provide justification centered around
an existing or planned use of the property that is related to one or more governmental services
or long-term goals and policies.
(i) If in the judgment of the HRA it cannot justify the retention of real property for which it
or the City is the custodian, or if City staff determine that real property is surplus to its
needs, the HRA shall determine whether the City has a need for the property that is
related to the provision of essential government services, including but not limited to
services for the public health, public safety, or services related to transportation, water
quality, surface water or other utilities.
(ii) If the property is not needed for the provision of essential government services, the HRA
shall then determine if the parcel is suitable for affordable housing. If a property is
deemed suitable for affordable housing the City shall first attempt to make it available
or use it for affordable housing prior to any alternative use.
• “Suitable for affordable housing” for the purpose of this section means the
parcel is of a size sufficient to support one or more housing units, that its site
characteristics are generally suitable for development, that development would
be consistent with the City’s Zoning Code, that development would be consistent
with the City’s stated goals and policies, and that the housing development is
compatible with the neighborhood.
• If the property is not deemed suitable for the purposes described above, then it
shall be determined whether the City has any need for the parcel in order to
provide additional open space, natural areas, and recreational amenities.
• If the property is not deemed suitable for affordable housing, and the City
determines no other suitable use, the property may be conveyed to adjacent
property owners or otherwise made available via commercially reasonable sale.
Sec. XXXX – Process for Disposition of Surplus Property Suitable for Affordable Housing.
A. Commercially Reasonable Sale or Conveyance. Unless otherwise excepted in subsection B of
this section, the actual sale or other conveyance of property shall be commercially
reasonable. Real property will require an independent appraisal, except as provided in this
section.
B. All surplus property deemed suitable for affordable housing shall be disposed of by the
HRA, under any one of the following conditions, which many include disposition at less than
market or appraised value, and without appraisal:
(i) Intergovernmental transfers;
(ii) Transfer to qualified public or private nonprofit entities;
(iii) Transfer to a public development authority created to develop or manage affordable
housing.
Conveyance of surplus property deemed suitable for affordable housing may include sale,
lease, options to purchase, lease purchase transactions, or public-private partnership, and
may occur by use of negotiations or bidding, as the HRA deems desirable, fair and
appropriate.
