In April 2020, City Council discussed the desire to have more citizen led input and approach when reviewing HTC resolution applications.
On October 12, 2020, City Council determined that the review of HTC resolution applications was consistent with responsibilities of the Community Relations Commission (CRC). Therefore, the CRC will review HTC resolution applications and make resolution recommendations to City Council. Additionally, the CRC member count will expand from eight members to nine members, with the preference that two of those members reside within the Concerted Revitalization Plan (CRP) area. |
