Description
July 13, 2021 HRA Commission Regular Meeting
A
C
B
A
A
A
H
A
A
And
myra
in
the
your
email
notes,
you
talked
about
having
the
commissioners
identify
themselves
when
they
go
to
make
a
motion.
So
could
you
do
that
I'll
repeat
it,
but
for
people
who
are
just
listening,
let
them
know
who
you
are
now
we
are
moving
on
to
number
four
organizational
business
number
four
point:
one:
it's
the
hra
rental
property
maintenance
agreement.
H
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
erica
coleman,
hra
administrator.
So
what
I'm
bringing
forward
here
is
staff
is
requesting
approval
to
enter
into
a
12-month
property
maintenance,
contract
for
maintenance,
repair
and
emergency
response
items
related
to
the
41
hra
owned
properties
in
the
assisted
rental
and
rental
homes
for
future
home
buyers
programs.
H
Response
to
the
2019
rfp
that
was
done
for
property
maintenance.
They
did
submit
a
response.
We
did
have
a
property
management
company
did
a
great
amazing
job.
This
is
just
during
the
review
and
revision
of
operations,
as
approved
in
the
hra
work
annual
work
plan,
as
we
review
things
and
come
into
alignment,
there's
a
little
bit
more
experience
with
government
entities
with
this
company.
H
Did
you
hit
record?
Yes,
I
did
okay.
Thank
you.
There's
a
little
bit
more
experience
with
government
entities
of
this
company,
as
I
stated
minnetonka
st
louis
park,
and
that
is
actually
identified
in
our
policy,
our
procedures,
policy
and
procedures
for
purchasing
and
contracting,
and
so
I'm
asking
for
approval
to
enter
into
a
12-month
contract
which
would
start
tomorrow.
H
H
F
H
So
that
may
not
necessarily
be
for
multiple
people
that
an
emergency
would
be
incorporating
the
after
hours
and
the
scale
of
the
maintenance
item.
The
64
is
around
the
standard
rate
for
property
maintenance.
We
were
getting
a
very
good
rate
previously.
It
was
not
reflective
of
the
standard
market
rate,
though
around
property
maintenance,
okay,.
F
H
H
A
A
B
B
A
B
H
A
H
Sometimes,
meetings
have
started
4,
30
and
5
o'clock,
but
for
the
most
part,
6
p.m.
And
as
you
know,
this
is
a
change
that
the
city
council
made
moving
their
meeting
from
7
p.m,
start
time
to
6
p.m,
start
time,
6
p.m.
Pretty
much
seems
to
be
the
standard.
Unless
there's
another
meeting
that
day,
I
will
say
that
right
now
there
is
a
short
term
com.
I
think
it's
short
term.
H
On
top
of
that,
we're
in
bloomington
and
we're
growing
and
there's
a
lot
of
construction
starting
to
happen
and
there's
a
lot
of
planned
construction
on
our
highways
and
freeways
and
if
anyone
has
to
commute
from
their
regular
job
or
or
other
places
outside
of
bloomington,
it's
also
a
little
tougher
to
start
at
5
30..
So
those
are
the
all
the
feedback
and
comments
that
I've
heard,
but
I
just
wanted
to
bring
it
forward
for
commissioners
to
have
a
full
discussion
about
what
you
would
like
to
do.
E
E
In
terms
of
both,
I
mean
I
as
a
commissioner,
I'm
speaking,
you
know
to
to
my
own
desire,
but
I
also
believe
that,
as
the
public,
I
don't
believe,
we've
heard
any
complaints
about
our
start
time
and
I
think
it
can
go
both
ways
with
people
depending
on
their
own
personal
situation.
So
I
would,
I
would
myself
vote
in
favor
of
keeping
it
at
the
time.
Is
it
it
that
it
is.
I
I'm
going
to
suggest
6
p.m.
I
think
it's
very
consistent
with
number
one
with
what
most
commissions
are
doing
in
the
city,
so
it
kind
of
gives
a
consistency.
Number
two,
I'm
going
to
say
personally.
For
me,
it
is
hard
for
me
to
get
here
at
5
30,
just
because
I
do
work
a
full-time
job.
I
actually
have
a
new
job
and
I'm
supposed
to
work
till
5.,
so
trying
to
get
here
by
5
30
is
difficult.
I
I
This
is,
and
I
know
that's
why
it's
on
the
one
of
the
reasons
it's
on
the
agenda
is
I've
heard
from
people
within
my
area
in
my
community
that
you
know
it's
hard
for
them
to
participate
or
hear
you
know
and
log
in
at
5
30,
because
they're
in
traffic
or
their
whatever,
and
I
do
think
that
consistency
and
just
making
sure
that
our
public
has
every
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
this.
You
know
working
families.
I
I
also
look
at
the
future
of
the
commission
and
I
look
at
if
we
want
to
gain
more.
You
know
if
we're
looking,
for
you
know
new
commissioners
in
the
future.
I
think
start
times
are
going
to
make
a
difference.
I
do
think
for
working
families,
it
is
hard
and
if
we
want
that
younger
community
and
diversity
on
our
board,
we
have
to
open
it
up.
For
that.
So
that's
my
personal
opinion.
A
Yeah,
are
they
any
other
comments
for
myself?
Six
o'clock
would
work
fine.
I
there
was
a
little
comment
from
the
public
last
at
the
last
meeting.
When
I
said
when
I
was
on
the
planning
commission,
we
met
at
5
30
and,
as
I
look
back
for
my
first
term,
we
did
meet
at
5
30
and
then
we
did
switch
till
6
and
I
was
one
of
the
people
that
had
a
hard
time
getting
there
from
downtown.
G
A
I
A
H
Commons,
thank
you,
chair
lewis,
commissioner
veloga,
for
the
question.
As
of
right
now,
the
plan
is
to
maintain
the
ability
to
log
into
webex
and
record
the
meetings
before
I
started,
I
think
I
was
notified
that
we
weren't
recording
meetings
beforehand
before
kovit,
okay
and
so
now
with
the
opportunity
to
record
and
be
able
to
upload
them
to
the
youtube
channel.
H
E
G
You
know,
and
and
that
for
the
public
says
that
they
have
access
to
it
at
their
leisure.
At
any
time.
You
know
that
that
the
5
30
or
6
o'clock
meeting
start
time
is
really
an
immaterial
for
the
public
because
they
can
watch
after
the
fact,
since
they
don't
have
the
opportunity
on
the
majority
of
our
items,
to
have
public
input.
E
And
I
would
just
add
in
terms
of
again
I'm
going
to
be
voting
in
opposition
because
I'm
voting
very
personally
on
this
item,
but
I
do
not
share
the
belief
that
one
time
versus
the
other
is
better
for
all
people
who
might
want
to
participate
in
the
future.
I
believe
that
is
up
to
the
individuals.
I
you
know.
E
If
we
really
wanted
to
be
sure
we
could
do
a
survey
of
everybody
who
thinks
they
might
want
to
participate,
but
so
I'm
again
I'm
making
very
clear
that
in
voting
to
opposition
to
this,
it
is
not
trying
to
make
it
so
that
it's
more
difficult
for
the
citizens
to
participate
at
whatever
level
they
would
like
to.
Okay.
F
B
B
F
And
then
one
further
question:
if
I
may,
the
one
of
the
issues
about
changing
the
time
would
be
that
the
experience
of
530,
we
kind
of
know
in
terms
of
other
other
things
that
are
going
on.
We
have
in
in
my
periodic
ten
years
on.
This
commission
have
not
had
a
lot
of
people
who
wanted
to
testify
in
person
and
so
whether
that
continues
into
the
future
or
not.
I
don't
know,
but
in
terms
of
parking.
H
No,
I
I
think
they're
myra's
on
the
boards
and
commission's
committee
and
there's
a
lot
better
synergy
around
finding
out
what
everybody's
doing
and
what
their
calendars
are
before
setting
anything
new.
So,
in
terms
of
parking,
I
don't
think
that'll
be
an
issue
that
I
would
defer
to
myra.
If
you
have
anything,
I
agree.
Okay,.
G
H
G
H
So
for
clarification,
the
city
has
a
youtube
channel,
and
so
the
videos,
as
we
were
directed
by
communications,
are
to
be
uploaded
to
that
youtube
channel,
and
so
the
link
that's
on
the
city's
website
website
is
to
the
youtube
channel,
and
then
you
can
pick
all
different
types
of
meetings
and
whatnot.
You
want
to
watch
got
it.
G
A
B
B
A
A
H
A
H
A
home
63
percent
were
identified
as
households
of
color
and
533
foreclosures
were
avoided
through
their
statewide
work.
They
do
focus
on
working
with
low-income
families
to
achieve
homeownership
or
classroom
education,
which
is
home
stretch
you
might
hear
about
homestretch.
It
is
a
department
of
housing,
urban
development,
hud
approved
program
that
is
a
first-time
home
buyer
program,
certificate
that
a
lot
of
people
usually
have
to
use
to
access
additional
down
payment
assistance,
home
buyer
advising
so
they
have
counselors.
H
H
Well,
in
2019
and
2020,
there
was
impacts
directly
for
bloomington
residents,
some
of
the
organizations
that
they
partner
with
that
has
worked
with
some
people.
Residents
of
bloomington
are
meeta
community
action,
partnership
for
hennepin,
county
neighbor
works,
home
partners,
ppl
project
for
pride
and
living
luther
social
services
has
twin
cities,
habitat
for
humanity
and
prg,
and
so
in
bloomington
101
households
participated
in
the
homebuyer
education
class,
of
which
84
were
black
indigenous
people
of
color
98
households,
financial
wellness
advising
services
of
which
78
were
low
and
very
low
income.
H
So
that's
under
the
50
percent
area,
meeting
income
and
78
86
were
a
bypoc
53
households
received
homeownership
advising
services,
so
this
included.
You
know
under
50
percent
by
pac,
first
time,
home,
buyer
and
first
time
generation.
A
first
generation
excuse
me
and
then
35
households
were
foreclosure
prevention,
advising
services
and
94
prevented
foreclosure.
This
is
bloomington
residents.
H
It
can't
have
been
ramsey
county,
but
across
the
state
when
it
comes
to
homeownership
by
race.
And
so
what
do
we
do
so?
Minnesota
homeownership
center
has
conducted
research
and
they
commissioned
a
study
homeownership
in
minnesota,
quantifying
the
need
for
down
payment
assistance
and
so
increasing
home
ownership.
Opportunities
for
bi-pop
communities
has
become
number
one
opportunity
and
focus
for
the
homeownership
center.
H
Imagine
that,
just
being
the
broadly
that
being
the
gap
that
a
hundred
thousand
minnesota
renter
households
would
be
able
to
achieve
home
ownership
that
estimates
that
eleven
thousand
three
hundred
to
thirty
thousand
four
hundred
black
runners
could
purchase
a
median
price
home
with
some
level
of
down
payment
assistance
and
that
transitioning,
just
eleven
thousand
six
hundred
black
runner
households
to
ownership
would
increase
the
black
homeownership
rate
by
10,
which
is
severely
closing
the
disparity
gap
in
minnesota.
That
currently
exists
where
minnesota
is
in
the.
H
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
say
the
top
five
or
the
bottom
five,
but
it's
in
that
five
for
having
one
of
the
largest
disparities
in
home
ownership
by
race
and
so
christopher
galler.
Who
is
actually
the
ceo
of
minnesota
realtor
said
now.
We
know
the
amount
of
assistance
required
to
enable
expanded
ownership
and
facilitate
a
reduction
in
the
racial
homeowners,
racial
ownership
gap
and
where
this
is
important
is
that
this
commission
was.
H
This
study
was
commissioned
with
minnesota
realtors,
and
so
it
was
in
partnership
where
minnesota
realtors
are
also
on
board,
with
the
need
for
increased
down
payment
assistance,
as
well
as
lobbying
at
the
state
capitol
as
well
as
in
community.
What
can
be
done
at
the
local
level
to
close
the
racial
disparity
homeownership
gap?
H
The
second
opportunity
is
preventing
another
foreclosure
crisis.
This
is
becoming
extremely
important
because
it's
unknown
the
amount.
The
level
of
excuse
me,
the
number
of
households
that
are
actually
in
mortgage
forbearance
right
now,
so
we've
heard
a
lot
about
rent
assistance
and
rent
help
due
to
impacts
of
covid,
but
there's
also
forbearance
help
for
homeowners,
and
we
don't
actually
have
that
that
finite
number.
It
is
estimated
that
11
000
hennepin
county
homeowners
are
currently
30
days
or
more
behind
their
mortgage
payments.
Nearly
4
000
of
these
households
do
not
have
a
forbearance.
H
Those
are
estimated
numbers
because
you
can't
get
that
hard
data
on
somebody's
mortgage,
and
so
it
is
a
focus
now
to
understand
what
is
needed
to
prevent
another
foreclosure
crisis
which
could
be
an
impact
of
covet
minnesota.
Western
centers
is
valued
with
a
proven
track
record.
So,
since
2008
over
38
000
households
across
minnesota
have
been
have
avoided
foreclosure
through
their
assistance,
they
partnered
with
minnesota
housing
to
administer
2020
covet
housing
assistance
program,
known
as
chap
for
homeowners
and
they're,
currently
partnering
with
minnesota
housing
to
develop
and
implement
home
help
minnesota.
H
It's
very
that
it's
128
million
in
federal
funds
to
assist
homeowners
and
foreclosure
default
prevention,
counseling
expected
to
be
a
key
part
of
this
program.
Hennepin
county
has
launched
an
emergency
homeownership
assistance
or
will
be
launching
it
august
to
september
of
this
year.
However,
bloomington
residents
are
not
able
to
take
advantage
of
that
because
we
receive
our
own
allocation
as
an
entitlement
city.
H
So
these
are
the
network
of
advisors.
Excuse
me,
network
of
advisors
in
the
home
ownership,
centers
network,
and
they
have
a
focus
throughout
rural
and
urban
minnesota,
but
also
those
that
have
a
culturally
specific
focus
as
well
and
multiple
languages.
And
so
this
is
their
network
and
it
is
growing
still.
H
But
this
is
a
pretty
extensive
network,
and
so
I
wanted
to
give
an
overview
of
medicine
homework
center
before
I
got
into
bloomington
to
bring
it
back
to
where
we
are
today,
and
so
the
median
income
in
bloomington
for
white
households
is
79
thousand
dollars
a
little
bit
over
for
black
households
at
the
lowest
part
of
the
spectrum.
It's
50
625
as
the
median
income,
and
so
when
we
start
to
talk
about
the
disparity
gap,
we
have
to
understand.
H
So
bloomington
homeownership,
as
I
just
pointed
out,
the
incomes
black
home
ownership
in
bloomington
actually
has
declined
over
the
last
few
years
where
it
was
at
one
point
about
20.
It's
not
14.
and
white.
Homeownership
is
at
74,
with
asian
being
at
56
percent,
two
or
more
races,
48
hispanic
39,
some
other
race,
which
usually
would
include
our
indigenous
population
at
28.
But
black
ownership
is
at
14.
H
H
So
I
had
spoke
about
down
payment
assistance,
and
this
has
come
up
where
we've
heard
from
commissioners
like.
What's
what
can
we
do?
What's
going
on
what's
available,
and
so
I
we
don't
have
a
down
payment
assistance
program
as
a
bloomington.
However,
there's
down
payment
assistance
programs
that
are
eligible
to
be
used
in
bloomington,
we
just
don't
have
a
city
sponsored
one,
but
I
wanted
to
show
what
other
cities
were
doing
around
us.
So
that's
why
I
put
this
comparison.
Chart
together
to
show
you
know.
H
H
Most
of
them
are
zero
percent
interest,
as
you
can
see,
dinah
has
some
simple
interest
and
it
is
the
term
of
the
first
mortgage,
but
most
of
them
are

interest,
30-year
deferred
brooklyn
park
and
ridgefield
offer
forgivable
option
after
10
years
of
remaining
in
the
home
as
an
owner
occupant
in
the
home,
most
of
them
have
the
income
cap
at
80
percent
area
meeting
income,
however
edina
and
brooklyn
park
do
go
up
a
little
bit.
Higher
edina
goes
up
to
100
percent
and
brooklyn
park
goes
up
to
120.
H
and
edina
is
the
only
one
with
a
purchase
price
limit,
so
they
everybody
else.
The
house
can
be
whatever
cost
that
you
can
afford,
but
edina
can
be
over
425
thousand
dollars.
That's
the
cap,
but
what
I
and
their
funding
funded
through
local,
federal
and
or
cdbg
dollars,
is
how
they're
getting
the
funding
to
come
up
with
the
down
payment
assistance.
But
what
I
thought
was
interesting
was
really
showing
the
median
home
sales
price,
because
that's
what
really
makes
a
difference,
so
united's
capping
at
425
000,
but
their
median
home
sales
price
is
520.
E
H
H
That
makes
sense,
bloomington's
median
income.
Excuse
me
median
home
sales
price
actually
varies
between
east
bloomington
and
west
bloomington,
so
bloomington
as
a
whole.
The
median
sales
price
I
want
to
say,
is
around
270
208
277
280
thousand
dollars,
but
in
west
bloomington
it's
like
290,
292,
000.
G
E
Ago,
yes,
and
I'm
looking
as
I'm
watching
the
value
of
my
home
and
so
on,
I'm
seeing
per
square
foot
prices,
for
example
in
richfield,
through
the
roof.
Yes
and
less
so
I
mean
so
kind
of
amazing
in
bloomington,
but
which
will
get
to
a
once.
The
presentation
is
over
a
concern.
I
have
about
affordability
and
in
general,
yes,
yeah.
G
E
You
know
france
over
by
valley,
west
and
so
on,
and
if
we
I'm
just
curious,
if
we
looked
at
the
average
sales
price,
would
there
really
be
any
difference
if
you
break
it
down
by
home
type,
you
know
average
home
type.
It's
really
when
you
go
to
certain
sections
of
of
central
west
bloomington
and
then
way
west,
where
you
start
to
get
some
of
those
pockets
of
much
more
expensive
homes.
But
really
the
majority
of
bloomington,
including
west
bloomington,
is
still
that
really
typical
10
10
40
11
20
scrambler.
A
H
G
E
Is
investors
and
large,
even
large
corporations
now
scooping
up
the
most
affordable
homes
we
have
and
turning
them
into
rentals
and
making
home
ownership
even
more
difficult
for
those
who
you
know,
I
would
guess,
are
looking
for.
You
know
good
quality,
entry-level
homes
and
I
think,
there's
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
policies,
we
can
talk
about
in
the
future
about
those
things,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
that
that's
an
issue
today
and
I
believe
I
don't
know
we
really
have
the
numbers.
E
G
G
G
I
I
H
C
H
Have
to
say
2021's
a
different
year,
and
so
in
east
bloomington,
it's
about
270
277
somewhere
in
there
270
and
then
west
wilmington's
about
207,
200
300,
and
it's
a
little
bit
over
300
000
that
west
bloomington
is
again
that
was
2020
sales
prices.
So
that's
everything
that
sold
and
closed
in
2020.,
as
we
all
have
seen
in
the
market
nowadays
2021
is,
is
really
really
different
and
there
are
multiple
articles
that
have
shown
the
a
stark
increase
in
home
ownership
prices
across
the
metro,
but
also
specifically
in
bloomington.
H
That
is
quite
high.
So
I
pull
numbers
from
assessing
from
bloomington
assessing
because
they
keep
track
of
that
and
it's
really
kind
of
surprising
when
we
get
it.
Thank
you,
okay!
So
I'm
gonna.
I
think
this
is
just
about
it.
So
just
the
type
of
programs
that
would
be
available
when
you're,
looking
at
home
ownership
opportunities
or
increasing
home
ownership
opportunities
or
even
staying
in
a
home,
because
down
payment
assistance
is
obviously
for
increasing
home
ownership
opportunity
where
it
comes
in
for
the
affordability
gap.
H
So,
where
we
said,
ten
thousand
five
hundred
could
help
quite
a
few
homes
and
be
able
to
purchase
a
home,
but
a
land
trust
opportunity
would
be
either
new
homes
or
it
could
save
current
homeowners.
If
there's
an
opportunity
for
the
land
trust
to
buy
it
and
then
do
the
refinance
to
the
mortgage
for
the
homeowner
without
the
land
there
is,
there
are
sometimes
those
opportunities
as
well
a
right
to
return
policy.
This
really
comes
into
to
effect
around
displacement
due
to
harmful
practices
or
policies.
H
This
is
for
culturally
specific
people
that,
due
to
different
beliefs
and
practices,
have
to
have
non-interest
bearing
products
to
purchase
a
home,
so
there's
a
whole
sect
of
people
that
may
not
be
purchasing,
because
the
products
for
them
to
use
to
purchase
is
not
widely
available
and
then
for
the
non-traditional.
Unbanked,
that's
a
whole
other
sector
of
a
group
of
people.
H
If
you're
not
unbanked,
if
you
don't
have
that
paper
trail,
then
how
are
you
able
to
secure
a
mortgage
if
you're
not
paying
cash,
and
then
how
do
you
get
cash
if
prices
are
going
up
so
high?
And
so
I
was
just
offering
those
few
things
and
what's
attached
to
this?
Is
the
reports
and
a
lot
of
deep
information
about
the
research
that
has
been
done
at
the
state
and
national
level?
H
Actually
quite
a
few
properties
in
minnesota
rents
are
going
up
extremely
high
and
which
is
another
thing
to
watch
as
to
why
they
may
be
in
it.
For
the
long
haul,
as
we
can
see,
the
area
meeting,
income
for
minnesota
went
up
so
in
terms
of
100,
80
percent
went
up
for
minnesota
and
when
I
last
looked
at
the
suggested,
excuse
me
not
suggested
the
income,
the
rent
caps
for
60
area,
median
income,
sixty
percent
rent
excuse
me
for
a
two
bedroom
was
over
fourteen
hundred
dollars.
H
So
when
you
start
to
think
about
that
and
think
about
how
incomes
have
gone
down
over
time
and
not
kept
up
with
the
rate
of
cost
and
inflation,
we're
really
in
a
very
unique
place
here
in
terms
of
home
ownership
in
terms
of
preserving
people
in
their
homes,
in
terms
of
people
aging
in
place
in
terms
of
growing
new
home
buyers
and
allowing
for
people
to
have
access
to
the
opportunity,
and
so
I
really
just
wanted
to
bring
this
forward.
Like
I
said
I
brought
it
forward
to
the
city
council.
H
It
is
a
part
of
our
work
plan
that
you
all
did
approve
in
the
strategic
plan
and
so
what's
being
worked
on.
Right
now
is
continuing
down
payment
assistance,
research
and
understanding
to
see
what
does
that
look
like
for
bloomington?
What
would
that
take?
Do
we
have
funding
support
to
do
that?
Do
we
have
capacity
and
infrastructure
to
be
able
to
put
in
place
to
do
that,
and
what's
the
goal
we're
trying
to
achieve
in
putting
in
a
down
payment
assistance
program,
two
with
the
impacts
of
kovind
mortgage
assistance.
H
That
has
happened
and
so
we're
working
on
all
of
those
things.
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
also
discussing
and
exploring
different
ways
that
we
can
do
housing
assistance
with
some
of
the
funding
that
may
be
coming
our
way,
but
we
would
come
back
at
a
later
date
if
we
can
have
that
put
together
to
discuss
and
seek
approval
to
amend.
We
are
currently
looking
at
eligibility
of
federal
funds
that
would
be
coming
to
the
city
around
that,
so
we're
looking
at
it
we're
focused
on
it.
H
E
H
There's
a
lot
of
requests,
so
we
will
be
hearing
more
about
that.
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
staff
working
on
the
requirements
of
that,
because
there's
some
extra
restrictions
about
that
money.
So
I
do
understand
what
you're
saying
is
that
being
able,
like
our
rehab
loan,
where
we
have
it
repaid,
and
there
is
no
forgiveness
component
at
all
to
any
of
that
program
where
you're
saying
the
same
thing
would
happen
for
mortgage
assistance
so
that
the
ability
to
help
more
households
is
built
into
it,
whether
it's
continuously
funded
or
not.
H
G
So
you
know
all
that
needs
to
be
looked
at
and
worked
out
to
see.
One
of
the
questions
I
have
from
a
personal
perspective
is
that
when
my
kids
were
buying
their
first
house,
if
they
got
money
from
me,
which
they
did
that
had
to
be
disclosed
as
a
gift
as
a
gift
to
the
original
lender,
but
did
not
impact
them
their
mortgage.
No,
you
know
because
it
just
counted
as
their
down
payment
and
and
if
it's
a
repayable
loan,
it's.
G
H
G
H
I
Right,
commissioner,
hooking.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
commissioner
huki.
I
just
wanted
to
commend
the
staff
for
bringing
this
to
us.
I
think
that
it's
I
want
to
just
say
that
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
know
what
we
worked
in.
Our
work
plan
is
really
coming
to
light
and
we're
seeing
it,
and
so
it's
just
it's
kind
of
exciting.
I
look
forward
to
this
being
brought
to
us
further.
Hopefully,
some
motions
and
some
I
really
like
all
that
it
has
to
offer
I'm
really
excited
about
that
down
payment
program.
I
If
we
could
really
work
something
out
in
bloomington,
I
think
that
would
be
really
a
great
thing
for
us.
You
know
we
have
the
opportunity
housing
or
you
know
ordinance.
It
would
be
great
to
you
know,
really
make
us
stand
out
and
well
show
people
that
we
really
welcome
all
to
our
community.
So
I
just
want
to
commend
the
staff
for
their
hard
work
on
this,
and
I
really
look
forward
to
what
comes
in
the
future
with
us.
A
F
It's
it's
it's
well
put
together,
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
good
sources
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
one
thing:
if
I
can
read
my
my
notes
here,
they
they
talked
about
two
giants
in
in
the
economic
world,
morgan
stanley,
and
they
they
said
that
the
economic
impact
this
is
on
page
69
of
our
stuff.
If
you
want
to
look
at
it
of
equalizing,
in
this
case
it
was
black
and
white.
You
didn't
go
beyond
that,
but
homeownership
rates
in
the
next
10
years.
F
Then
citiz
citigroup
indicated
that
if
we
had
to
close
the
gap
20
years
ago,
you're
smiling
because
you
remember
the
number
maybe
16
trillion
dollars
would
have
been
added
to
the
u.s
economy
and
if
we
close
the
gap
today,
which
of
course
is
that
you
know,
there's
no
magic
wand.
That's
going
to
do
this.
We
have
to
do
the
grunt
work.
If
we
close
today,
there
would
be
5
trillion
more
added
to
the
gdp
gross
domestic
product
in
five
years,
and
so
there's
there's
all
kinds
of
data.
F
To
say
I
mean
because
morgan,
stanley
and
and
cinegroup
I
mean
they're
giants
in
the
field
yeah
and
they're,
the
ones
that
are
doing
this
and
they're
not
going
to
make
those
kind
of
statements
with
willy-nilly
and
soft
or
whatever
information.
So
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
keep
that
in
mind
that,
as
we
are
working
for
this,
sometimes
maybe
I
get
more
into
the
direction
of
thinking.
F
You
know
we're
all
human
beings
and
we
all
have
some
basic
rights.
I
mean
it's
a
declaration
of
independence
and
preamble
to
the
constitution
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
and-
and
that
was
the
goal
that
was
set
way
back
then,
and
I
think
we've
tended
to
get
away
from
it
in
terms
of
a
national
norm.
I
mean
so
anyway,
I'm
going
to
get
off
this
little
box
without
calling.
I
think.
H
H
H
F
The
the
image
that
we
hear
periodically-
I
haven't
heard
it
recently,
but
rising
water,
raises
all
boats.
I
mean
it's
that
kind
of
imagery
that
that
we
have
a
tendency,
I
don't
know
which
generation
it
was,
and
I
don't
know
if
it
was
active,
but
it
was
identified
as
the
me
first
generation
you
know
and
and
I
think
when
we
build
better
communities,
we
also
are
better
off
and
we
may
not
stop
to
think
about
that.
Maybe
not
even
notice
it,
but
anyway.
A
Thank
you
good
comments,
I'm
going
to
move
this
along,
but
thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation.
I'm
really
excited
to
see
where
we're
going
to
go
from
here.
So
now
I'm
going
to
move
us
back
into
work.
A
little
bit
point
6.2,
approving
loan
fund
documents
and
master
subordination
agreement
for

at
9320,
lynndale

may
we
have
the
staff
report.
Please.
H
C
H
For
hennepin

response

base,
revitalization

and

requesting
approval
of
the
attached
resolution
x
to
accept
funding
and
then
enter
into

with
both

which
is

G
G
A
Thank
you.
It
has
been
moved
by
commissioner,
who
came
seconded
by
commissioner
beloga
to
approve
the
tax-based
revitalization
account
and
environmental
response
fund
loan
documents
and
master
subordination
agreement
for
lindell
flats
development
located
at
9320
lindale
avenue
south
may
is
there
any
discussion.
A
H
H
So
the
reason
I
am
bringing
this
to
you
as
the
hra
board
is
one
I'm,
the
agent
administrator,
and
I
thought
that
would
be
important,
but
two,
the
hra
oversees
the
oho.
So
there
would
be.
This
is
just
any
just
to
discuss
any
items
that
I
believe
the
hra
board
brought
up
the
same
items
that
the
council
has
brought
up
and
so
just
any
additional
direction.
H
H
H
I
know
that
in
my
discussions
with
with
planning,
I
specifically
said:
well,
I
never
lived
in
a
unit
without
in-unit
laundry
after
having
children,
because
that
just
didn't
make
sense
to
me,
and
so
the
question
was
hey:
are
these
more
uncommon
amenities,
something
that
we
could
work
with
or
include,
or
look
at
and
then
very
rare,
our
exercise,
room,
swimming
pools
and
gathering
rooms
for
requirements
for
multi-family
amenities?
We
do
not
require
exercise
rooms
or
swimming
pools
or
gathering
rooms,
but
they
do
garner
higher
points
when
we're
prioritizing
projects
and
development.
H
A
H
H
So,
as
you
can
see,
this
was
an
amendment
that
was
made
seventy
five
percent
reduction.
If
twenty
percent
are
affordable
at
fifty
percent
ami
or
below,
however,
no
other
city
requires
storage,
so
bloomington
is
very
unique
and
it's
a
requirement
of
outside
of
the
unit
storage
and
so
the
the
range
that
the
feedback
that
has
been
has
ranged
from.
Oh
people
don't
use
it,
but
then
we
get
into
your
charging
for
it
and
if
there
was
no
charging
for
it,
would
people
use
the
storage?
Would
they
need
it?
H
H
Requirements
so
I
actually
just
touched
on
this.
The
slide
looks
a
little
bit
hard
on
the
eyes,
but
these
are
arguments
in
favor
of
storage
standard,
which
I
will
say
for
low-income
residents
that
have
higher
needs,
as
well
as
from
an
enforcement
standpoint
with
the
city.
The
viewpoint
is
that
it
severely
hampers
the
ability
to
hoard.
H
So
there's
there's
that
that
is
one
of
the
true.
It
reduces
that
yes,
that's
great,
but
the
arguments
against
us
that
adds
costs
for
developers
where
they
could
be
doing
something
else,
and
it
also
increases
funding
gaps
or
that
it
adds
administrative
obligations
to
the
developer,
which
all
of
this
comes
down
to.
It
adds
more
more
money
to
the
deal
that
we
may
end
up
paying
for
with
our
our
gap
funding
and
then
it's
not
a
common
requirement.
H
Provided
we
do
have
storage
units
built
within
the
city
of
bloomington.
You
know
reduce
the
affordability
level
to
qualify
for
75,
ohm
reduction,
so
really
making
the
affordability
level
lower
and
not
allowing
that
in
between
at
50
percent,
but
really
going
deeper
in
affordability,
mind
you
and
just
reducing
the
affordability
level.
We
still
need
to
fill
the
gap
to
create
the
units
that
would
be
affordable
at
30
percent
area.
H
Median
income
there's
still
a
need
for
money
for
that
or
allow
exemption
for
storage
outside
a
unit
if
at
least
a
certain
percentage,
a
certain
amount
of
square
feet
of
storage
is
provided
in
unit
beyond
the
base
storage.
So
that's
where
we
really
get
into
those
bigger
closets
or
other
things
that
could
be
available
in
the
unit
outside
of
maybe
people
putting
things
on
their
balcony,
which
is
usually
not
allowed
if
there's
a
balcony
and
so
the
height
bonus.
This
also
came
up
with
80
12-volt
cedar.
H
So
this
is
the
height
map
for
the
city
of
bloomington
and,
as
you
can
see
it,
you
know
tells
which
is
three
stories,
four
stories,
six
stories
or
no
limit
whatsoever,
and,
as
you
can
see
that's
along
here
and
in
the
almost
district
here
so
hype
bonus
was
asked
about
by
council
just
like
well
how?
How
is
that
important?
H
I
believe,
commissioners,
you
guys
also
asked
about
the
hype
bonus
here
when
8012
volcano
came
forward
and
so
projects
with
nine
percent
affordable
to
60
ami
qualify
for
a
one-story
increase
within
certain
areas,
and
no
projects
have
utilized
this
incentive.
Yet
so
we're
re.
Revising
excuse
me
reassessing
the
hype
bonus
incentive.
Is
it
really
worth
what's
needed
to
reach
the
affordability
and
can
can
be
a
make
or
break
incentive
in
certain
areas?
H
So,
as
we
see
a
little
bit
more
development
in
other
areas,
it
could
be
something
that
comes
into
consideration,
but
staff
is
recommending
retaining
the
height
bonus
incentive,
as
it
is
so
the
performer
impacts.
This
is
where
the
questions
were
coming
up
about
providing
units
affordable
to
households
at
50
and
30
ami.
Do
they
correspond
with
the
value
of
the
incentives
and
so
based
on
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
housing
stability
fund,
which
is
yet
to
be
funded?
H
The
estimation
is
15
000
per
unit
per
year
to
really
get
to
that
30
percent
ami
level.
So
that's
ongoing
for
many
years
and
if
you
think
about
the
term
of
affordability,
we
could
we
could
be
looking
into
the
millions
for
just
one
or
two
units
to
really
reach
that.
So
what
does
that
look
like
and
so
incentives
applied
are
have
been
applied
at
a
varying
rate,
and
so
the
costs
have
not
been
viewed
as
directly
related
in
previous
ohl
developments.
H
H
However,
the
2019
urban
economics,
quantitative
nexus
study
and
the
2018
city
comprehensive
housing
needs
analysis
were
conducted
where
we
started
with
the
numbers
to
roll
out
the
oho,
and
it's
a
suggested
update
of
every
three
to
five
years
well,
with
covet
being
the
year
that
it
was
I'm
recommending
that
we
go
ahead
and
update.
This
needs
analysis
and
this
nexus
study
by
the
end
of
2022
and
incorporate
these
specific
questions.
H
What
is
the
cost
to
provide
deeper
affordability
and
the
estimates
of
incentive
values
and
then
ownership
opportunities?
This
is
a
big
one
because
with
the
oho,
it's
been
a
focus
on
rental,
even
though
there
are
ownership
opportunities.
So
how
can
additional,
affordable
ownership,
affordable
ownership
opportunities
be
provided
within
the
built
environment?
There's
a
combination
of
ownership
and
rental
developments,
condo
townhomes
single
family.
H
The
condo
is
going
to
take
some
more
lobbying
at
the
state
level,
just
due
to
the
restrictions
through
legislation
that
don't
allow
for
it
to
be
as
affordable
as
it
could
be.
But
again,
that
is
a
great
option
to
reach
home
ownership
is
to
be
able
to
own
a
condo.
So
in
looking
at
that,
and
then
talking
with
our
development
partners,
what
what
is
the
feedback
from
the
development
community
about
what
do
they
need
to
go
ahead
and
provide
for
ownership
opportunities
and
some
of
the
developments
coming
through
the
ohl?
H
F
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
and
actually
they
kind
of
dovetail
a
little
bit.
If
you
go
to
that
one,
it's
not
necessary.
It
was
a
common,
uncommon
and
rare
thing,
but
it
does
give
kind
of
an
overview
of
the
kinds
of
factors
that
go
into
building
a
a
plan
that
perform
get.
The
program
was
pro
forma
going
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So
my
my
it's
a
question
with
an
ask,
and
that
is
the
history
of
how
we
have
gotten.
F
F
To
ask
is
that
we
collaborate
and-
and
that's
with
all
of
the
stakeholders-
I
remember-
I
don't
know
if
it
was
council
years
or
planning
years
or
whatever,
but
pushing
that
we
would
that
we
end
up
working
with
the
building
industry
with
labor,
and
I
don't
know
if
we
ever
really
got
working
with
labor
on
this
or
whatever,
but
and
maybe
that
I
don't
know
how
that
fits.
But
the
whole
idea
is
that
we
get
a
better
product
if
we
end
up
having
input
from
builders
like
we've
gotten
with
the
oho.
F
F
Keeping
that
in
mind-
and
I
don't
know
to
what
extent
the
the
list
of
things
have
come
from
our
planning
department
and
staff
generally
from
you
and
others
associated
with
hra.
But
I
think
that
it's
really
important
that
we
kind
of
keep
reminding
ourselves.
We
get
a
better
outcome.
If
we
don't
do
it
in-house,
only
okay.
F
Oh
yeah,
excuse
me
one
file
and,
and
part
of
that
is,
we've
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
in
the
last,
the
cold
air,
talking
about
what
role
hra
relative
to
the
city
council
and
applying
the
vision
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
and
I
and
so
in
the
process
of
of
looking
at
this
list.
We've
we've
seen
it
now,
and
so
are
we
going
to
get
updates
or
is
there
going
to
be
opportunity
for
discussion
on
some
of
these
things
along
along
that
process
way?
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
commissioner
olson.
Yes,
first
of
all,
the
hra,
as
you
know,
plays
a
very
intricate
and
integral
roles.
Nothing
happens
really
without
us.
If
we're
being
honest
about
it
now,
we
can
either
be
on
the
front
end
of
it
or
we
can
be
brought
in
on
the
back
end
of
it.
We
prefer
to
be
on
the
front
end
of
it.
So,
yes,
there
would
be
updates
and
we
could
also
look
at
what
does
it
look
like?
H
A
G
I
think
you
all
would
be
disappointed
if
I
didn't
say
my
disappointment
in
the
city
council's
reduction
in
green
space
for
the
latest
amendment
to
the
ohl
standards,
and
I
feel
that
that
creates
a
such
a
vast
disparity
between
market
housing
and
oho
that
it
seems
discriminatory
for
me.
I'd
like
to
use
a
different
term,
but
I
can't
think
of
one
that
expresses
my
feelings
so
forth.
Rightly
so.
G
I've
said
it
before
and
I'm
going
to
continue
to
say
it,
and
I
cannot
then
support
projects
that
have
that
minimum
level
of
green
space.
Because
if
you
look
at
the
cedar
project,
that's
got
a
playground
for
very
young
children
1200
square
feet
roughly,
if
I
remember,
but
it
has
no
other
space
available
for
any
other
play
area
for
any
other
child
other
than
toddlers.
G
And
my
experiences
are
melded
by
my
life
history
and
I
will
tell
you
that
virtually
every
day
I
come
home
during
the
summer
time
and
I
drive
down
pennsylvania
avenue.
We
have
live
across
from
reynolds
park
and
going
down
pennsylvania
avenue,
probably
not
more
than
100
yards
from
reynolds
park.
There's
a
group
of
young
kids
playing
ball
in
their
front
yard
in
the
neighborhood.
G
They
don't
go
to
the
diamonds
over
at
reynolds
they're
playing
in
their
yard,
and
these
children
who
live
in
this
environment
will
not
have
that
they
will
have
to
go
two
blocks,
five
blocks
whatever
it
is,
and
I
just
don't
think
that
it's
right.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
I've
said
what
I
needed
to
say
thank.
E
A
A
H
Yes,
so
staff
is
applying
for
funding
support
through
the
metropolitan
council.
Livable
communities
demonstration
account
transit,
oriented
development,
so
that
is
l-c-d-a-t-o-b.
That's
how
we
usually
like
to
refer
to
it
for
pre-development
site
work
at
the
hra
owned
property
at
9830,
aldridge
avenue
south
to
be
included
a
larger
future
development.
The
future
development
will
have
a
goal
of
housing
using
the
affordable
housing
requirements
and
bus
staging
and
parking.
H
So
attached
is
the
proposed
future
development
goals.
This
is
actually
a
one-pager.
These
are
not
plans
that
are
said
to
just
happen,
but
this
is
future
proposed
of
what
we'd
like
to
see.
So
this
is
no
plans
that
are
solid,
but
this
actually
was
the
information
that
went
forward
to
the
state
legislature.
H
When
we
asked
for
special
tiff
legislation,
which
was
approved
in
the
omnibus
bill
for
this
site
in
particular,
we
did
purchase
a
the
property
that
is
owned.
We
purchased
with
right-of-way
acquisition
loan
funds,
which
means
that
a
study
is
required
around
the
corridor
and
the
interchange
to
basically
say
to
the
private
transportation
to
the
state
like
hey.
H
If
we
develop
here,
there's
not
a
need
in
the
future
for
an
interchange
or
a
ramp
to
go
here
which,
from
the
conversations
that
have
been
had
we're
pretty
sure,
they're
not
even
looking
to
put
an
additional
ramp
and
cut
into
this.
This
parcel,
however,
due
to
the
process
and
procedures
of
getting
the
right-of-way
loan
acquisition
fund.
This
is
what
we
agreed.
We
would
do,
so
we
are
applying
for
funding
to
help
pay
for
that
pre-development
work
so
that
we
can
move
forward
after
we
get
done
to
finally
seeing
something
be
developed.
A
H
We
get
your
report,
so
this
was
the
last
item
that
I
that
I
did
bring
forward
on
the
28th
to
the
city,
council
and
people
experiencing
homelessness
and
housing.
Instability
has
been
exacerbated
by
the
covet
19
pandemic
and
has
really,
at
this
point,
landed
in
the
hra,
so
the
hra
myself
and
the
community
development
director
have
taken
the
lead
on
conducting
check-ins
and
gathering
information
and
data,
and
so
this
is
just
an
update.
So
brief
background.
H
This
just
touched
on
that
on
people
experiencing
homelessness
and
housing.
Disability
is
a
spectrum
of
complexity,
complexity.
We
can't
just
say
it's
one
thing:
there
are
many
many
factors,
usually
multiple
factors
at
one
time
with
just
one
individual
that
are
at
play
as
to
why
people
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
housing
instability.
H
H
There
are
multiple
hotels
that
have
had
people
experiencing
homelessness
and
or
housing.
Instability
there
have
been
police
calls,
but
there
was
a
decrease
in
service
clause
at
the
hotels
that
had
service
providers
with
them
that
were
participating
with
the
city
and
the
police
department
and
under
the
temporary
pandemic
housing
department.
That's
where
those
calls
decreased
at
and
the
plans
had
to
include
security,
fire
service
and
housing
transition
with
a
hotel
operator,
so
like
the
manager
and
our
owner,
as
well
as
a
service
provider
which
is
usually
a
non-profit
and
or
government
entity.
H
I
kept
the
same
slides
from
the
city
council
because
it
was
public
information.
I
didn't
want
to
alter
it,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
so
the
service
providers,
like
I
said
republic
and
non-profit
there-
was
a
use
of
seven
hotels
out
of
those
four
serve
four
approved
temporary
payment
housing
permits,
which
was
over
230
rooms,
where
over
12
million
dollars
was
spent
in
bloomington
with
lodging
food
and
services
in
bloomington.
H
This
served
over
a
thousand
individuals
and
the
median
length
of
stay
has
been
150
days.
The
majority
of
groups
served
when
I
asked
for
information
about.
Demographics
were
seniors,
youth,
lgbtqia
plus
families,
so
there
are
people
with
children
and
then
black
indigenous
people
of
color,
which,
when
you
look
at
stat
statistics
for
people
experiencing
homelessness,
it
is
disproportionately
indigenous
and
black
people
that
are
experiencing
homelessness
at
higher
numbers
than
any
other
racial
group.
H
So
the
current
status
as
of
the
update,
was
that
there
were
four
providers.
Two
providers
had
included
services
with
standard
outcomes
of
new
employment,
which
a
lot
of
them
went
to
the
mall
of
america.
There
was
a
lot
of
employment
where
they
went
to
mall
america,
but
they
were
not
allowed
not
allowed.
They
were
not
able
to
live
in
bloomington
due
to
the
high
cost
to
stay
here,
so
they
did.
New
employment
helped
them
get
over
that
home
of
experiencing
homelessness
at
the
time
reunited
with
family,
and
they
were
housed
returned
to
congregate
shelter.
H
So
they
did
exit
bloomington
if
they
were
returning
to
congregate,
shelters.
We
don't
have
one
here.
They
are
staying
in
transitional
housing
in
different
areas
somewhere
in
eagan.
Some
different
places
around
the
metro
secured
rental
housing,
some
just
that's
all
they
needed
was
just
a
little
bit
of
time
and
to
go
secure,
their
own
housing
or
in
a
program
with
housing
support.
H
H
That
is
hennepin
county,
and
that
is
what
is
in
discussion
right
now,
because
there's
the
105
days
with
the
eviction
moratorium
ramp
down,
yet
our
temporary
housing
pandemic
housing
permit
gave
180
days
after
the
end
of
the
executive
order,
and
so
myself,
legal
community
development,
city
manager,
all
asking
the
questions
and
finding
out
we've
reached
out
to
the
attorney
general
and
so
general's
office.
Excuse
me
so
we're
getting
that
information.
If
there
is
an
action
to
be
taken,
it
will
come
back
to
city
council
by
planning
about
the
temporary
pandemic
housing
permit.
H
Next
steps
because,
like
I
said
this
landed
right
here
in
the
hra
coordination
and
data
collection,
we
just
want
to
just
collect
the
data
on
who
is
experiencing
homelessness
and
what
those
numbers
look
like.
I
will
say
that,
once
we
collect
that
data,
considering
it
was
exacerbated
by
covid,
there
may
be.
H
They
have
data,
but
they
are
also
talking
to
me
and
others
like
community
around
the
services
that
they
have
and
how
to
access
goals
and
the
you
know,
steps
for
that
and
then
bloomington
public
schools.
This
is
a
a
big
one
because
they
have
their
own
office.
That
is
working
with
this,
but
they
had
a
lot
of
questions
because
they
thought
they
were
hotel
vouchers,
and
so
they
were
asking.
How
do
we
get
some
of
our
families
into
the
hotels
with
vouchers?
H
H
So
co-ed
has
been
really
good
about
compiling
a
resource
list
that
they
were
handing
out
when
it
was
previously
human
human
services
department
in
bloomington
no
longer
and
so
really
reaching
back
out
to
those
those
great
subject
matter:
experts
in
coe
and
saying:
hey,
referral,
resources,
referral
services,
organizing
and
also
what
relationships
do
you
have
in
the
bloomington
community,
where
we
actually
have
quite
a
few
different
community
organizations
that
are
working
in
this
space
and
as
we
know,
it's
complex
and
it's
layered?
It's
not
just.
H
A
H
G
G
Absolutely-
and
I
I
understand
that-
and
I
appreciate
that
you're
seeking
the
information.
Thank
you
for
that.
You
know
we
we've
been
a
country,
that's
been
at
war
during
my
lifetime,
at
least
more
than
it's
been
at
peace,
and
you
know
so.
We
have
such
a
great
number
of
people
who
fall
in
that
vets,
category
that
it's,
I
think,
another
underserved
population,
absolutely.
I
I
I
guess
I'll,
just
clarify
my
personal
opinion
and
feelings.
Are
I
just
I
want
there
to
be
a
transition?
I
don't
want
people
to
just
be
kicked
out
and
put
back
on
the
street.
I
don't
think
that's
stopping
solving
the
problem,
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
services
are
really
being
provided
and
there's
a
transition
to
this
and
making
sure
that,
as
that
staff
looks
at,
I
understand
that
we
have.
H
H
A
F
Commissioner
olson
just
given
what
commissioner
volga
mentioned,
we
we
dedicated
a
couple
of
years
ago,
it's
like
four
rooms
or
whatever
over
on
pan
avenue,
yeah
just
over
there
and
whatever,
but
it
just.
I
assume
that
that's
been
booked
well
right
continually
and-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
have
some
brief
comments
or
at
a
future
meeting
and
just
make
a
simple
report
on
how
that's
going,
I
mean
it's
a
great
thing
felt
good
to
to
see
it
happen.
Yes,.
H
J
Chair
lewis,
commissioner,
also
the
that
project.
As
you
know,
the
h-rate
donated
the
land
for
to
develop
that
single-family
home,
which
was
to
be
used
for
homeless
vets
either
singles
up
to
four
singles
or
a
family.
I
do
we
have
not
received
specific
information
about
the
occupants
of
them
because
due
to
privacy
concerns,
but
I
can
certainly
check
in
with
mcphee
to
kind
of
see
how
things
are
going
in
general
and
get
report
back
to
you.
Generic.
F
And,
and
one
of
the
things
that
was,
I
thought
really
positive
about
it
is
that
there
was
from
the
private
side
as
well
as
public.
There
were
like
three
or
four
partners
that
we
had
as
we
gave
the
land
and
worked
with
them
and
that's
a
nice
model.
I
don't
know
if
it's
happening
now
again,
but
it's
it's
a
model
I
think
worth
promoting.
Again
we
get
the.
A
D
E
Found
your
comment
very
interesting
about
condos
as
a
way
of
achieving
affordable
housing.
I
know
when,
in
my
place
in
life
right
now,
I'm
actually
looking
you
know
sometime
in
the
future,
I
believe
that'll
be
my
housing
versus
going
to
the
town
house
and
then
down
and
yeah.
I
think
there's
there's
a
lot
to
gain.
I,
as
I
look
at
units
a
lot
of
economies
of
scale,
and
yet
you
have
the
home
ownership
aspect,
so
I
just
want
to
comment
on
that.
The
other
is
more.
E
If
anybody
there's
an
article,
I
think
it
was
in
the
strip,
I'm
not
sure
I
read
a
lot
but,
interestingly,
I
believe
the
city
of
minneapolis-
and
I
imagine
it
may
be
trending
elsewhere-
is
beginning
to
look
at
rooming
houses.
I
guess
as
a
means
of
providing
affordable
housing,
and
I
just
thought
it
was
an
interesting
article
that
they're
thinking
about
that
again.
I
know
that
when
you
read
about
my
history,
there's
a
lot
of
effort
to
get
rid
of
rooming
houses,
and
I
know
that
rooming
houses
stand.
E
You
know
from
those
that
were
you
know,
flop
houses
whatever.
However,
you
describe
them
landlords
taking
advantage
of
people
to
those
that
truly
provided
you
know
housing
and
shared
kitchens
and
communities.
So
I
just
found
that
really
interesting
and
when
you
know,
if
we'll,
if
we'll
see
some
of
that
happen,.
C
H
So
I'm
actually
on
the
task
force
with
the
person
that
was
working
on
that,
and
I
knew
they
were
bringing
it
forward,
because
the
discussion
with
hennepin
county
is
what
does
this
look
like?
Is
it
possible?
Three
planning
is
looking
to
add
that
to
their
possibly
to
their
2022
work
plan
to
because
it's
zoney
it
completely.
C
H
I
I
I
am
our
block
captain
and
that
house
is
actually
near
my
neighborhood
and
it's
been
a
big
conversation
in
our
neighborhood
of
just
kind
of
where
it's
going,
and
you
know
anyway-
and
I
know
that's-
I
know
we're
working
on
it-
I'm
not
trying
to
rush
anything,
I'm
just
kind
of
hoping
that,
maybe
at
national
night
out,
I
can
just
kind
of
calm
people
down
a
little
bit.
I
will
say
it
is
kind
of
a
hot
topic
in
our
area,
just
because
it's
a
vacant
property
and
it's
empty.
So.
J
We
were
then
took
questions
from
the
the
commission
and
asked
for
different
home
ownership
opportunities
to
provide
additional,
affordable,
homeownership
opportunities
on
this
lot
or
others
that
city
or
the
hra
may
own
in
the
future,
and
so
staff
brought
back
those
options.
And
after
that
presentation
we
were
asked
to
bring
back
additional
information
regarding
the
land
trust
model
which
we
will
do
at
our
meeting
on
the
27th.
