The Hood River City Council directed municipal staff to draw up an ordinance to change the makeup of the Urban Renewal Agency board to only include the six councilors and the mayor.  The current URA board also includes two Port of Hood River Commissioners, primarily due to the importance of the Waterfront Urban Renewal District to that agency.  There was consideration of changing the board makeup to include other taxing districts as the Westside Urban Renewal District takes shape.  But the majority of the Council felt keeping the board within their membership was more expedient, with Mayor Paul Blackburn pointing out they will still want input from the other districts.  Councilor Megan Saunders voted against the motion, calling for seats for other taxing districts on the URA panel.
