Yes,
thank
you,
chair
lewis.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
commissioner
coulter
has
joined
us.
We
are
in
the
process
of
approving
the
january.
Excuse
me
myra.
Please
move
the
slide
item
3.2
the
january
25th
hra
meeting
board
meeting
minutes
and
it
has
been
moved
by
commissioner
huhim
and
seconded
by
commissioner
martin
and
now
I
will
take
the
roll
call
for
approval
coulter.
B
E
A
A
E
E
So
on
july
13th
we
did
come
before
the
hra
board.
The
nhra
board
did
adopt
resolution
2021-17,
approving
submission
of
an
application
to
the
metropolitan
council,
so
met
council's
grant
funding
for
pre-development
site
work
at
this
specific
location
at
the
city-owned
lot
at
9830,
aldridge
avenue
south
to
be
included
in
a
larger
future
development.
E
E
So
in
november
of
2021,
the
engineering
division
of
public
works
as
subject
matter.
Experts
released
their
request
for
proposals
seeking
proposals
from
qualified
individuals,
firms,
partnerships
and
corporations
interested
in
providing
services
to
the
city
in
the
area
of
traffic
and
transportation
studies
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
the
city,
four
planning
and
design
services
for
the
west,
98th
street
and
interstate
35w
interchange.
E
The
reason
that
this
is
needed
is
because
the
parcel
at
9830
aldrich
was
purchased,
with
right-of-way
loan
acquisition
funding
and
by
purchasing
it
with
that
funding,
there
are
some
requirements
and
one
of
the
requirements
was
what
can
that?
What
kind
of
interchange
studies
show
and
what
that
parcel
can
be
used
for?
Is
it
necessary
for
the
interchange?
E
So
a
part
of
that
fund
a
part
of
that
funding
to
acquire
that
lot
required
us
to
have
to
be
able
to
answer
for
that,
which
is
where
we
need
a
consultant,
which
is
also
how
we
applied
for
the
met
council,
pre-development,
transit,
oriented
development
funding
and
were
awarded,
and
so
we
are
at
the
process.
Now
of
the
rfp
has
been
released.
E
The
proposals
have
come
back.
A
panel
was
put
together
of
internal
staff,
but
also
there
was
consideration
from
other
subject
matter:
experts
to
review
the
proposals
and
to
make
a
recommendation
for
which
proposal
should
move
forward
and
contract
with
the
city.
To
achieve
this
study
because
the
rfp
was
released
by
the
city,
it
is
a
contract
through
the
city.
E
However,
the
hra
is
also
very
involved,
and
so
this
evening
we
have
kirk
roberts
available
to
answer
any
additional
questions
you
may
have
about
the
next
steps
and
what
would
be
required
and
potential
timeline,
as
we
move
forward
on
the
process
to
see
a
future
development
at
this
site
at
9830,
aldridge
avenue
south.
What
myra
is
actually
showing
is
the
one
pager
that
gives
you
the
goals
of
this
redevelopment
area.
E
A
D
A
Commissioner,
thank
you.
It
has
been
moved
by
commissioner
thorson
with
the
second
by
commissioner,
who
came
to
adopt
the
resolution
approving
sub-grant
agreement
between
city
of
bloomington
and
housing
and
redevelopment
authority
in
and
for
the
city
of
bloomington
and
supporting
selection
of
consultants
by
city
of
bloomington.
F
C
E
B
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair
and
commissioner,
so
tonight,
just
giving
the
hra
commissioners
and
guests
a
presentation
about
what
the
port
authority
in
bloomington
is
all
about
and
what
we
do.
It's
a
bit
different
than
the
hra,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
overlaps.
The
venn
diagram
was
drawn
between
the
hr
and
the
port
authority.
G
You'd
say
that
the
hra
certainly
focuses
a
lot
on
housing
and
has
more
programs
in
it
than
the
hra
does
related
to
that,
and
then
there's
like
a
middle
section
of
the
venn
diagram
between
the
port
authority
hra,
where
the
hra
can
do
projects
both
housing
and
commercial
and
the
port
authority
can
do
projects
both
housing
and
commercial
and
then
off
into
the
port
authority.
Circle
you'd
see
a
lot
more
work
on
commercial
projects
and
other
initiatives,
many
of
which
I'll
go
through
tonight.
G
I've
got
a
lot
of
slides.
I
talk
sort
of
fast,
so
please
slow
me
down
as
necessary.
Otherwise
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
either
during
the
presentation
or
at
the
end.
Whatever
is
the
desire
of
on
the
hra
port.
So
with
that
just
a
little
bit
of
history
on
the
bloomington
port
authority-
and
I
think
you
can
just
see
the
big
slide-
is
that
correct?
Is
that
what
you're,
seeing
there.
G
Great
just
double
checking
that
sometimes
the
monitors
are
not
set
up
correctly.
Okay,
so
the
port
authority
was
created
in
1981
for
the
redevelopment
of
the
met
center
and
met
stadium
sites,
and
so
this
is
where
football
and
basketball
baseball
and
hockey
used
to
be
played
before
those
things
moved
to
minneapolis
and
st
paul,
and
so
you
can
still
see
home
plate
in
mall
of
america
as
you
walk
around
the
park.
G
But
basically
the
port
authority
is
a
port
authority,
because
the
folks
that
were
drafting
the
statutes
that
were
needed
in
order
to
do
the
redevelopment
of
these
sites
didn't
want
to
create
a
whole
new
economic
development
entity
for
bloomington,
because
they
already
had
port
authority
statute
in
place,
particularly
in
saint
paul
that
had
broad
powers.
They
just
gave
bloomington
a
port
authority
because
bloomington's
unnavigable
water,
but
the
port
authority
has
literally
zero
to
do
with
any
typical
port
business.
There's
no
shipping
and
receiving
area.
G
Some
people
ask
if
the
airport
is
part
of
the
port
authority,
and
that
answer
is
no.
The
airport
is
its
own,
separate
legal
entity
from
this,
but
the
port
authority
can
operate
anywhere
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
It
has
its
own
board,
seven
members,
two
of
which
are
from
the
council
one's
the
mayor.
It
can
have
more
than
one
council
person
on
the
board
for
a
while.
We
did
have
the
mayor
and
two
two
city
council
people
on
the
port
authority
board.
G
Let's
see,
we
have
financing
tools
similar
to
the
hra
tax,
increment
financing
and
we
have
three
active
districts.
The
first
one
is
bloomington
central
station
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
second,
it's
a
50-acre
mixed
use,
area
of
south
loop
and
the
mall
of
america,
two
districts,
one
for
the
met
stadium
and
one
for
the
met
center
site.
Those
were.
G
We
do
have
levy
authority,
but
the
port
authority
has
never
used
that
levy.
If
we
did,
it
would
be
the
exact
same
amount.
It's
the
exact
same
fraction,
that's
used
by
the
hra,
but
again
report
has
never
clicked
that
on.
Although
lately
there's
been
some
discussion
of
that
to
fund
some
types
of
activities
in
the
port
authorities,
purview
that
can't
be
funded
with
either
tiff
or
any
of
the
other
funding
vectors.
G
Of
course,
we
can
issue
bonds
backed
by
tiff
or
it's
levy,
and
then
there
is
another
funding
source.
That's
actually
a
city
funding
source
called
the
south
luke
development
fund.
That
was
created
back
in
the
80s
and
90s
to
back
some
of
the
debt,
that
was
that
financed
the
public
infrastructure
at
the
mall
and
so
a
portion
of
the
lodging
tax,
that's
collected
in
the
city
flows
into
this
fund
and
there's
an
off
sale
or
not.
G
Excuse
me
on
sale,
liquor,
tax,
that's
collected
the
city
flows
into
this
fund
and
that
that
money
has
been
traditionally
managed
by
whoever's
managing
the
port
authority.
Currently,
that's
that's
me,
even
though
it's
a
city
fund,
because
of
its
ties
to
self-loop
and
the
port
authorities,
focus
on
south
slope
again,
the
portfolio
can
operate
anywhere
in
the
city,
but
focuses
on
the
salt
loop
area
that
isn't
a
port
authority
fund,
but
it's
traditionally
kind
of
in
the
port
authorities
toolbox.
If
you
will
and
so
back
in
2013.
G
Almost
nine
years
ago,
the
council
and
planning
commission
and
port
authority
approved
a
district
plan
to
develop
south
loop.
South
loop
has
about
two-thirds
of
the
city's
development
potential
and
at
that
time
it
was
you
know,
not
a
lot
was
happening
in
self
loop,
and
so
we
went
through
a
planning
process
created
a
vision
that
vision
is
going
to
be
updated
in
the
next
18
months
here
to
to
make
to
modernize
it.
G
Out
of
the
celtic
development
fund
is
also
funded.
The
majority
of
the
creative
place,
making
work,
that's
focused
on
the
self
loop
area
and
that's
got
its
own
board
and
engagement,
and
we
have
a
director
and
that
works
been
very
popular,
and
I
think
the
city
council
would
love
that
work
to
happen
in
other
areas
of
the
city,
but
can't
yet
just
because
there
isn't
funds
to
do
so.
But
I
know
the
council
has
expressed
interest
in
broadening
that
work.
G
The
most
visible
pieces
of
the
work
that
have
happened
lately
are
a
big
mural
that
is
on
the
excel
substation,
just
along
30th
avenue
in
south
loop
and
the
large
goldfinch.
That's
at
the
top,
a
new
sign
that
was
just
erected
here
a
couple
of
months
ago
in
the
southwest
district
right
at
the
corner
of
old
shakopee
and
calibre
drive.
G
And
if
you
haven't
driven
past
that
it's
pretty
it's
pretty
obvious
and
apparent
and
kind
of,
I
think
it's
quite
cool
actually,
but
I
think
you
can't
kind
of
can't
miss
it.
There's
lots
of
little
things
too,
that
they
do
art
boxes,
performances,
benches
and
various
other
things.
It's
a
really
active
and
engaged
commission.
That
is,
I
think,
doing
a
lot
of
good
and
helping
give
that
part
of
our
city.
You
know
kind
of
a
soul.
G
Development
totals
so
in
in
the
non-shaded
portion,
there's
about
1.1
billion
dollars
of
projects
that
have
happened
in
south
loop,
most
of
which
there's
been
some
involvement
by
the
port
authority
and
or
the
city
to
get
them
to
happen.
A
few
of
them
have
happened
organically,
but
that
has
not
been
the
norm
itself.
Loop
self
loops
that
pretty
stagnant
for
many
decades
after
the
mall
was
was
built
and
even
before
the
mall.
G
So
development
really
wasn't
a
thing
in
south
slope.
I'm
happy
to
report
that
that
is
not
the
case
today.
While
we
are
still
in
the
process
of
subsidizing.
Certain
developments
in
self
loop
in
order
to
make
them
happen,
there's
a
lot
of
development
activity
in
the
district,
which
is
a
welcome
change,
and
it
really
shows
that
the
commitment
to
the
district-
and
you
know
renewing
the
city
in
this
area
is
really
paying
dividends.
So
we're
literally
working
on-
and
I
say
literally
almost
every
open
parcel
in
the
district
today-
has
something
happening
on
it.
G
There's
some
conversation
or
development-
that's
either
been
through
entitlements
or
otherwise,
and
residential
is
a
big
piece
of
that,
including
a
focus
on
affordable
housing.
We
do
everything
with
the
council's
strategic
goals
in
mind.
The
port
authority,
just
like
the
hra,
is
a
separate
political
subdivision,
but
obviously
wants
to
do
things
in
concert
with
the
city
and
hence
the
crossover
with
the
mayor
and
council
person
that
sits
on
the
board
to
provide
that
connection.
G
G
It
became
very
apparent
in
during
the
pandemic
how
important
that
revenue
was,
as
we
scrambled,
to
find
ways
to
fill
that
hole
left
by
the
lack
of
people
getting
hotel
rooms,
especially
early
on
in
the
pandemic,
we're
at
about
65
of
our
baseline
2019
year.
Right
now
for
hotel
revenue
in
the
city,
that's
pretty
good.
G
Obviously,
nobody
can
predict
the
future,
but
we're
trying
to
to
do
just
that
and
then
a
small
subgroup
that
the
port
authority
leads
to
help
figure
out
where
the
where
the
hotel
revenue
is
going
to
go,
and
we
mostly
manage
the
crisis
due
to
covet
on
the
budget
side
pretty
well.
But
you
know,
keeping
that
hotel
base.
G
Strong
hospitality
is
a
huge
industry
in
bloomington
not
only
for
the
workers
and
the
services
it
provides,
but
also
because
it's
in
the
city's
selfish
best
interest
to
keep
the
hospitality
industry
coming
along
to
provide
that
subsidy
for
all
of
us
that
live
in
the
city.
Our
property
taxes
are
lower
than
many
of
our
neighbors
in
in
part.
G
We
also
engage
in
all
the
big
events
that
happen
mostly
because
the
mall
and
the
hotels
are
also
involved
in
those
events
as
well.
The
mall
america
is
by
far
the
biggest
project
that
the
port
authority
has
done.
Frankly,
it's
you
know
outside
of
maybe
u.s
bank
stadium,
it's
the
largest
real
estate
development
in
the
state.
G
We
call
it
phase
1c
and
the
biggest
thing
that
we're
working
on
right
now
is
the
potential
for
a
big
water
park
that
would
be
attached
on
the
north
side
next
to
ikea
and
along
without
a
big
parking
ramp
and
very
likely,
roughly
six
months
after
the
construction
would
start
on
the
water
park.
You'd
see
a
hotel
coming
along
with
that,
how
big
and
what
brand
and
how
that
would
all
fit
is
another.
G
Another
question
we're
also
looking
at
the
potential
for
various
other
projects
on
the
site,
but
those
are
more
blurry,
as
we
sit
here
today.
What's
pretty
likely
to
happen
is
the
water
park
and
the
hotel
and
the
parking
ramp,
and
these
others
literally
got
dozens
of
proposals
on
what
the
future
past
the
water
park
and
even
where
the
water
park
sits
right.
Now
we
used
to
get
a
new
plan
in
every
three
to
six
months
and
in
real
estate.
Nothing
is
is
real
until
the
dirt
starts.
G
So
just
some
nice
pictures
of
radisson
blue
the
phase
1c
on
the
north
side,
jw
marriott
very
nice
hotel,
and
this
is
how
the
water
park
could
look,
the
rendering
needs
to
be
updated.
A
bit
we've
since
moved
all
the
slides
inside.
So
we
don't
have
any
protrusions
on
the
outside.
Both
they
help
with
aesthetics
and
they
also
help
with
with
maintenance
of
those
those
slides.
G
The
waterpark
would
have
some
unique
amenities
in
it,
a
bisected
pool
which
would
allow
for
the
pool
to
be
shut
down
both
when
times.
You
know
when
there's
less
people
in
the
water
park
and
we
reduce
lifeguard
hours
and
energy
and
things
like
that
and
also
helps
manage
vehicle
events.
So
if
you
have
a
fecal
event
on
one
side,
you
can
still
have
the
the
pool
open
on
the
other
side,
some
other
renderings.
This
is
how
it
would
look
as
you're
in
mall
of
america,
where
the
food
court
currently
is.
Today.
G
G
These
other
measurements
of
you
know
the
park
footprint
and
the
wave
pool
move
around
a
little
bit,
but
the
pool
hall
is
really
what
matters
when
you're
talking
about
bragging
rights
for
the
biggest
water
park.
The
other
benefit
that
this
water
park
has
that
we
connect
to
mall
america.
Is
it
has
a
much
longer
beach
as
you
visit
these
venues,
that's
what
you
really
want
is
to
be
able
to
sit
along
the
beach.
These
other
water
parks
are
very
limited
and
more
narrow
beach
areas.
G
So
we're
pretty
excited
about
that.
One.
Moving
on
to
bloomington
central
station
again
50
acre
50,
acre
transit,
oriented
mixed-use
development
used
to
be
the
headquarters
of
control
data,
which
is
now
occupied
by
health
partners
on
a
couple
of
long-term
leases.
This
was
the
master
plan
as
it
continues
to
evolve.
G
We
did
provide
kind
of
a
short-term
loan
to
help
that
project
along,
but
we
didn't
subsidize
that
one,
the
the
big
kind
of
keystone,
landmark
development
that
we
did
do
along
in
bcs
to
really
get
things
going
was
to
build
the
indigo
project
and
so
prior
to
prior
to
indigo
opening.
We
had
been
meeting
with
myriad
developers
to
try
to
find
somebody
to.
G
You
know
jump
on
the
the
bandwagon
that
was
happening
with
all
the
apartment
development
that
was
being
seen
in
other
cities
in
the
metro,
and
we
finally
found
that,
after
literally
a
couple
of
years
doing
that
with
lennar
multi-family
and
mcguff,
the
master
developer
out
there
and
subsidized
indigo
with
a
pretty
modest
level
of
affordability.
But
our
main
goal
in
that
project
was
to
prove
that
people
would
live.
G
It's
also
beyond
the
condo
buildings
and
a
few
other,
relatively
small
developments,
especially
on
that
side
of
the
district
and
indigo,
has
been
a
real
success
because
of
its
own
success,
but
also
because
of
other
projects
that
have
happened.
We've
got
a
lot
of
interest
in
projects
to
the
east
of
this.
The
fenly,
which
is
another
400
unit
project,
is
built
and
leased
up,
even
during
covid,
pretty
well
and
we're
actively
working
on
another
project.
Another
400
unit
project
to
the
west
side
of
this
bloomington
central
station
park,
and
that
doesn't
have
a
name
yet.
G
But
the
key
thing
there
is
that
would
have
a
grocery
store,
and
so
families
open
and
this
fourth
phase
west
of
the
park
would
have
a
grocery
store,
which
we've
known
forever,
is
a
key
piece
to
providing
the
amenities
that
people
want
in
the
district,
and
that
is
is
very
likely
to
happen.
We're
in
the
midst
of
negotiating
agreements
on
that
project,
as
we,
even
as
as
recent
as
just
an
hour
ago,
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
the
port
authority
has
been
very
interested
in
is
kind
of.
G
A
personal
passion
of
mine
is
from
a
sustainability
standpoint
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
build
all
this
parking,
because
that's
what
the
port
authority
does
a
lot
of
is
subsidize
these
projects
through
the
construction
of
parking,
and
we
want
to
do
that
in
the
most
sustainable
way,
because
a
lot
of
energy
and
carbon
and
effort
and
money
goes
into
building
parking.
So
how
do
you
do
that?
Knowing
that
at
some
point
in
the
future,
driverless
cars
and
other
transit
options
are
going
to
reduce
parking
demand?
G
Now,
when
exactly
driverless
cars
will
become
a
common
thing,
and
you
know
how
transit
will
affect
things
we
don't
know
sitting
here
today?
Is
it
two
years?
Is
it
10
years
20
years
we
just
don't
know,
but
we
know
that
it's
going
to
happen
in
the
design
life
of
a
parking
ramp
or
a
building,
and
to
that
end
we
want
to
spend
our
money
as
wisely
wisely
as
possible.
So
on
each
project
we
take
a
look
at
how
our
investment
could
be
tweaked
in
the
future
and
so
on.
G
That's
a
white
elephant
and
we
tear
it
down
in
20
years,
because
we
don't
have
the
demand
or
something
like
that,
doesn't
mean
that
it
has
to
be
converted.
It
just
means
we're
going
to
spend
a
little
time
and
a
little
money
making
sure
that
it
could
be
converted
in
the
future,
because
we
don't
want
this
to
be
the
adaptive
reuse
of
parking
structures
as
fun
as
it
might
be,
and
again
over
by
bcs.
There's
a
number
of
projects
that
some
of
which
were
some
of
them
were
involved
in
financially
and
others.
G
We
aren't
but
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
residential
around
where
we
started
this
whole
thing
with
indigo
and
the
reflections
project,
and
many
of
them
have
an
affordability
component
that
goes
along
with
it
and
then
blooming
meadows.
I
include
the
slide
because
this
is
the
hra
project
which
I'm
sure
this
commission
knows
a
lot
about,
so
I'm
not
going
to
dwell
on
it,
but
that
happens
in
celtic.
G
What
has
three
hotels,
a
parking
ramp
and
then
some
retail,
along
with
it,
the
intent
originally
was
to
put
our
grocery
store
slash
market
where
the
element
hotel
is
but
the
the
market
for
the
market
just
didn't
exist
at
that
time.
So
we
decided
to
move
forward
with
another
hotel
project
there
and
do
the
grocery
in
a
different
spot
and
that
grocery
now
is
going
to
go
over
on
the
bcs
project,
which
is
probably
a
better
spot
for
it.
Anyway.
G
G
That
looks
somewhat
likely
to
happen
currently
under
a
non-disclosure
agreement
on
that
one,
but
hopefully
soon
we'll
be
able
to
share
exactly
what's
going
to
happen.
There
also
take
a
look
at
some
kind
of.
I
want
to
call
them
crazy
ideas
because
they're
not
because
you
have
to
do
innovative
things
and
sometimes
make
crazy
ideas
a
reality.
G
One
project
that
we
had
worked
on
for
a
while
and
then
covert
hit
was
bringing
what
what
is
the
last
shuttle
that
exists
out
in
the
world
to
stealth
loop
and
build?
You
know
an
event
space
museum
around
that
it's
a
mock
shuttle
that
didn't
fly
into
space,
but
that's
actually
a
good
thing
and
a
bad
thing.
Of
course
it
didn't
go
into
space,
so
it's
not
doesn't
have
that
component,
but
it
also
means
that
you
can
actually
be
inside
of.
G
You
could
have
a
meeting
if
you
will
inside
the
space
shuttle
itself,
which
is
kind
of
cool
and
it'll,
be
built
around
a
learning
center,
something
like
the
kennedy
space
center
in
in
florida.
If
you've
been
there
and
then
we're
also
working
on
expo
27,
the
theme
of
this
expo
would
be
healthy
people
healthy
planet.
It
would
probably
off
what
is
the
third
sustainable
development
goal
that
the
un
has
and
the
un's
sustainable
development
goals
are
really
kind
of
concepts
on
how
to
run
your
country.
G
They're,
not
real
estate
development,
in
the
way
that
that
you
know
and
kind
of
the
port
authority
world
we
talk
about
development.
You
know
world's
fairs
are
still
really
a
popular
thing
internationally.
Of
course,
they
left
behind
some
landmark
things.
The
space
needle
in
seattle,
the
eiffel
tower
healthy
people
healthy
planet
is,
is
built
on
something
that
we're
all
really
interested
in
these
days
and
also
because
minnesota
has
a
real
strength
in
health
and
well-being
and
the
companies
that
that
provide
those
services.
G
And
so
what
is
the
world's
fair?
Most
people
haven't
visited
one
because
there
hasn't
been
one
in
the
us
in
40
years,
and
so
it's
kind
of
a
ted
talk
meets
a
davos
conference
makes
a
trade
show
meets
kind
of
epcot.
You
know
version
of
disney
world
and
a
little
bit
of
the
state,
fair
mixed
in
and
so
they're
really
neat
events
and
the
council
and
port
authority
have
been
interested
in
in
moving
that
project
forward
and
we'll
see
what
happens.
G
There's
a
lot
of
competition
for
other
countries,
slash
cities
across
the
planet
or
this
time
slot
of
expo
2027.,
there's
a
big
fair
that
happened
in
milan
in
2015.
This
was
271
acres
and
70
buildings
were
constructed
for
it
there's
a
huge
expo,
that's
happening
in
dubai.
Currently,
as
you
see
here
today,
this
is
what
the
milan
expo
looked
like
big
long
street
and
again
the
dubai
expo
is
happening
right
now,
but
these
are
the
locations
of
the
other
expos
that
have
happened
recently
and
the
way
we
look
at
it
on
bloomington
is
yes.
G
The
event
is,
is
a
really
important
thing
to
happen
and
give
self
loop
more
soul
than
it
has
today.
Give
our
city
a
soul,
be
great
recognition,
but
I
mean
just
directly:
it
would
throw
off
a
certain
amount
of
general
fund
revenues
to
through
the
liquor,
lodging
admissions,
food
and
beverage
taxes,
etc,
and
and
really
the
way
that
the
port
authority
looks
at
it.
Is
this
a
way
to
develop
a
big
chunk
of
the
southwest
district
in
one
fell
swoop
and
leave
behind
buildings
that
are
permanent?
G
A
D
G
Sure,
hey
mr
chair
and
commissioner,
who
came
the
the
expo
decision,
will
happen
in
june
of
2023
and
that
that
vote
will
happen
at
the
bureau
of
international
exhibitions
in
in
paris
and
the
competition
is
pretty
stiff.
Frankly,
I
mean
I
hope
I
don't
forget
one
phuket,
thailand
is
one
of
the
cities.
Malaga
spain
is
another
one.
Now
I'm
blanking
on.
I
knew
I
was
gonna
forget
a
couple
of
the
other
ones.
I
should
have
a
slide
on
that,
but
the
the
competition
is
pretty
stiff.
A
A
That's
okay!
Thank
you!
That's
okay!
Thank
you!
All
right
administrator
coleman.
Can
we
go
back
and
do
the
minutes
all
right,
we're
going
to
go
back
and
just
go
back
to
approval
of
minutes.
Now
that
commissioner
thorson
is
here
looking
at
item
3.1
approval
of
the
october
28
2021
hra
board,
planning,
commission
concurrent
meeting
and
meeting
synopsis,
are
there
any
additions
or
corrections
hearing
none.
Do
I
hear
a
motion
to
approve
the
october
28
2021
hra
board
planning,
commission
concurrent
meeting
synopsis.
A
F
E
E
I
will
follow
up
if
there
is
any
need
to
change
that
we're
just
moving
through
the
process
of
getting
that
development
agreement
terms
drafted
and
talking
with
the
developer,
so
just
moving
through
that
process,
and
then
we
do
expect
to
have
the
year-end
budget
adjustment
to
come
forward
as
we
do
every
year,
but
to
come
forward
to
just
make
sure
there's
any
adjustments
we
need
made
most
likely.
The
next
meeting,
as
the
15th
of
february,
is
the
cutoff
for
for
finance
for
accounting
to
make
sure
all
invoices
and
information
is
in
from
the
previous
year.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
for
administrator
coleman
hearing
none,
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
item
6.3,
commissioner
questions
or
comments,
and
I
I
did
want
to
start
out
sharing
some
sad
news
which
I
believe
the
commissioners
are
already
aware
of,
but
john
olsen,
our
friend
and
fellow
board,
commissioner,
who
left
the
board
in
january,
passed
away
suddenly
last
week.
A
A
A
Where
are
we,
including
in
engaging
our
youth,
and
what
legacy
are
we
providing
for
those
who
come
after
us,
john
dedicated
his
time
and
energy
to
the
action
of
inclusion
through
his
many
years
of
public
service
as
a
city
council,
member,
a
planning
commissioner,
and
an
hra
board?
Commissioner,
in
addition
to
those
positions
he
held
john
volunteered
on
various
work
groups
and
community
initiatives,
we
honor
john
for
the
amazing
and
selfless
person
he
was
when
john
was
ending
his
term
as
city
council
member.
A
A
Don't
think
so?
Well,
he
was
a
very
special
person
and
as
administrator
coleman-
and
I
were
talking
earlier
this
week,
john
could
irritate
the
heck
out
of
me
because
it
never
failed.
If
I
said,
does
anybody
have
any
questions
or
comments?
John
was
right
there,
but
you
know
he
always
made
sound
comments.
