Moving
on
now
item
number
four
organizational
business
item:
4.1
hr
motion,
hra
board
of
commissioners,
bylaws
and
hra
meeting
policies
and
procedures.
May
we
have
the
staff
report
please.
D
Thank
you,
chair
lewis
and
commissioners,
erica
coleman,
hra
administrator,
so
the
hra
commission,
as
you
know,
did
meet
with
staff
and
legal
counsel
discuss
the
bylaws
at
our
regularly
scheduled
meetings
on
january,
26th
and
february
29th
of
2021.
D
So
we
were
able
to
walk
through
the
bylaws
of
each
each
section
of
the
bylaws
here
from
legal
counsel
and
and
staff
regarding
any
proposed
changes
and
have
a
robust
discussion
which
was
really
good.
So
at
the
regular
meeting
on
february,
23rd
commissioners
were
provided
with
a
redlined
and
clean
version
of
the
bylaws
to
reflect
comments,
suggestions
and
amendments.
D
In
addition
to
the
bylaws
commissioners
reviewed
and
discussed
current
and
new
policies,
and
so
one
of
those
was
the
new
policy
of
meeting
policies
and
procedures.
D
That
came
out
of
the
discussion
with
the
bylaws,
and
you
may
be
wondering
why
this
is
coming
before
you,
because
at
our
annual
meeting
we
did
not
vote
on
approving
the
bylaws.
So
at
this
point
we
are
still
operating
under
the
old
bylaws,
and
so
this
evening
I
am
asking
for
a
approval
of
the
bylaws
as
amended
as
well
as
the
meeting
policies
and
procedures
document
and
I'll
take
any
questions.
Thank.
B
F
Thank
you.
I
I've
read
through
them
one
more
time
and
just
a
clarification
from
you
administrator
coleman.
Much
of
the
wording-
that's
in
this
document
is
actually
coming
from
minnesota
statute.
D
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
commissioner
olson.
That
is
correct.
The
wording
that
was
cited
as
being
from
the
statute
when
we
had
our
discussions
is
much
from
the
statute
and
carla
peterson,
which
is
our
legal
counsel,
is
on.
The
call
is
on
the
meeting
this
evening.
C
So
my
first
question
is:
is
anyone
in
jeopardy
of
the
75
meeting
threshold.
C
Thank
you.
The
second
question
is
is
with
respect
to
remote
removal
and
I'm
not
clear,
but
I
believe
it's
that
if
somebody
falls
below
75
threshold,
they
would
be
removed
red
rather
immediately
upon
that
event,
where
I
believe
all
other
boards
and
commissions
look
at
attendance
a
year
and
removal
comes
at
the
so
a
point
of
clarity
on
how
you
interpret
this.
D
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
and
commissioner
beloga.
I
thank
you
for
the
question
that
language
came
directly
out
of
the
city
charter,
which
governs
the
city
created
boards
and
commissions,
and
so
the
process
would
be
the
same.
The
process
would
be
to
be
clear
that
if
a
commissioner
fell
below
the
75
threshold
of
meetings
that
the
board
would
have
to
take
a
vote,
that
is
that's
not
something
that
we
can
just
do.
D
The
board
has
to
take
a
vote
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
question
that
you
posed
it
was,
it
is
looking
at
the
year
in
total,
unless
there's
extenuating
circumstances
I
just
have
to,
it
would
always
come
back
to
the
board
and
what
I
mean
by
extenuating
circumstances
is
if
we've
been
meeting
for
three
four
months-
and
we
have
a
commissioner
that
hasn't
attended
all
any
of
those
meetings
or
maybe
one
or
two
of
those
meetings.
D
C
And
I
just
wanted
to
understand,
because
if
we
had
a
commissioner
who
fell
ill
and
had
an
extended
period
of
absence
and
recovery,
we
would
all
about
that
kind
of
event,
and
you
know
wouldn't
want
to
take
an
abrupt
action
without
all
the
facts
and
circumstances.
So
thank
you
for
the.
F
You
one
of
the
things
that
I've
wondered
about
is
if
somebody
is
not
able
to
come
the
wording-
and
I
had
noticed
it
before,
but
there
was
wording
that
indicates
that
we
notify,
I
think
it's
the
administrator.
F
D
D
And
so
still
here
the
commission,
the
if
a
commissioner
is
not
able
to
attend,
they
do
need
to
notify
and
they
can
notify
the
administrator
in
advance.
So
that
would
be
a
simple
email
phone
call
and
then
no
commissioner
should
be
able
to
take
a
leave
of
absence,
and
so
what
we
don't
cover,
because
this
is
the
same
language
as
in
the
city
code,
for
the
other,
excluding
city
charter
for
the
other
boards
of
commissions
is
whether
an
absence
is
excused
or
unexcused.
D
That
is
at
your
discretion
at
this
point,
commissioners,
if
you
want
to
clarify
and
excuse
their
unexcused
absence
and
then
take
that
into
consideration
when
you
are
are
looking
at
the
attendance
and
whether
the
75
percent
is
unexcused
or
excused
absences,
I
will
say
at
the
city
level
of
the
boards
and
commissions
created
by
the
city.
This
is
not
something
that
is
called
out
separately.
G
I
believe
I
was
serving
on
the
planning
commission
at
the
time
we
implemented
this
or
that
the
city
did
and
if
I
recall
correctly-
and
it
was
quite
a
while
ago-
even
a
health
issue
did
not
necessarily
keep
you
from
being
subject
to
that
and
I
think
the
reason
and
there's
some
history
to
it.
There
have
been
a
couple
of
boards
in
the
past
where
either,
for
whatever
reason
I
remember
one
individual
was
just
super
busy
in
a
in
a
job
and
there
was
an
illness.
G
I
thought
that
was
particularly
harsh
in
one
case,
not
quite
sure
where
either
one
of
those
ended
up.
But
I
think
that
it
looks
to
me
like
the
policy
is
fairly
clear.
There
is
no
leave
of
absence,
which
means
you
know.
I
can't
take
three
months
off.
You
know,
because
you
know
I'm
traveling
the
world
and
perhaps
it
would
apply
to
illness,
which
I
think,
I'm
not
saying.
G
That's
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we
do
enforce
it
strictly,
because
I
have
been
on
commissions
where
we
all
gather
and
there
aren't
enough
people
for
a
quorum
and
the
business.
Can
you
know
some
of
the
business
can't
proceed
and
we
are
currently
a
very
small
board
and
it
has
a
greater
impact.
The
smaller
the
board
is
with
one
or
two
people
that
aren't
able
to
to
attend.
G
I
would
say
I
personally
don't
don't
know
about
excused
absences
in
terms
of
I'm
not
sure
that
makes
sense,
but
if
we
did
that
we
would
have
to
make
it
very
clear
what
an
excused
absent
versus
unexcused
is,
or
we
will
perhaps
run
into
issues
in
dealing
with
a
future
member
who
is
not
as
good
about
attending
meetings
as
as
one
really
should
when
you're
on
this
board.
So
I
personally,
I
would
say:
let's,
let's
not
try
to
delve
into
excuse
versus
unexcused,
but
that's
just
my
opinion
on
this.
D
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
and
commissioner
thorson.
D
I
would
just
add
that
we
have
previously
discussed
that
there
is
initiative
at
the
city
and
other
boards
of
commissions
to
have
some
type
of
continuity
and
consistency,
and
so
this
is
not
something
in
terms
of
changing
the
language
that
is
before
you
right
now
is
not
something
that
is
before
any
other
boards
or
commissions,
and
so
I
would
just
add
that,
as
in
background
information
that,
if
you
do
choose
to
make
that
type
of
change,
if
you
serve
on
a
different
board
or
commission,
it
is
going
to
be
different
than
serving
on
this
border.
B

Thank
you,
commissioner,
olson
motioned

Thank

Moving
on
to
organizational
business
item,
4.1
the
hra
board
of
commissioners,
bylaws
and
oops.
Sorry
item
number
five.
Sorry,
it's
gonna
make
you
do
that
all
again,
guys!
Sorry!
Moving
on
to
new
business
item
5.1
the
2021
cdbg
budget
and
2021
action
plan,
may
we
have
the
staff
report
please.
H
Madam
chair
commissioners,
this
is
brian
hartman
hra
program
manager
before
you
tonight
for
approval
is
an
annual
item
that
we
bring
forward
to
you
for
our
cdbg
budget
for
the
program
year
of
2021.
H
Just
as
a
reminder
for
the
cdbg
program,
we
are
tied
to
the
county's
fiscal
year,
which
starts
july
1st.
We
are
in
a
consortium
with
the
county
in
two
other
entitlement:
communities
for
serb,
suburban
hennepin
county
that
would
be
plymouth
and
eden
prairie.
H
We
must,
however,
develop
our
own
action
plan
and
activities
for
each
program
year
so
before
you
tonight
we're
proposing
approval
of
the
activities
as
the
same
as
the
current
year.
These
are
activities
actually
that
we
have
funded
for
many
years
that
are
been
determined
to
be
very
high
priorities
for
the
hra
and
the
city
as
well,
those
being
single
family
rehabilitation,
lead-based
paint,
abatement,
which
goes
hand-in-hand
with
the
the
rehab
loans
home
ownership
activities
through
the
west
hennepin,
affordable,
housing,
land
trust
walt.
H
They
do
business
as
homes
within
reach,
senior
community
services,
home
program
for
elderly
to
help
people
who
are
elders
stay
in
their
homes,
fair
housing
activities.
This
would
be
paired
testing
and
other
activities
that
we
do
in
concert
with
other
entitlement
cities
from
around
the
region
and
then,
finally,
and
just
general
administrative
expense,
salaries
and
benefits
that
sort
of
thing.
H
So
our
2021
allocation
that
we've
been
allotted
through
the
formula
process
at
hud
comes
out
to
a
total
of
500
or
excuse
me
458
378,
that's
just
a
minor
increase
from
what
our
grant
is
for
the
current
program
year.
We
are
anticipating
program,
income
of
400
000
for
the
coming
program
year
again
program
income
is
repayment
of
old
loans.
So
this
is
an
estimate
so
based
on
kind
of
how
that
goes.
H
Sometimes
we
can
we're
pretty
good
at
guessing,
sometimes
we're
not.
Last
year
we
were
not.
We
had
a
slow
year
because
of
the
pandemic
with
program
income,
but
we
anticipate
given
the
pace
that
we're
seeing
now
in
this
current
calendar
year.
That
400
would
be
a
reasonable
estimate,
giving
us
a
total
budget
there
for
rehab
about
818
000
for
that
new
program
year,
starting
july
1st,
and
that
will
enable
us
to
do
our
typical
30
loans
that
we
try
to
hit
every
year.
H
At
a
minimum
for
that
program,
given
the
approval
at
hra
tonight,
hopefully
we
will
take
this
to
city
council
in
april
for
a
public
hearing
for
their
consideration
and
approval
and
then,
if
they
approve
that
it
goes
to
the
county
board,
actually
for
a
final
hearing
and
approval
at
the
county
level
before
submission
to
hud
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
C
B
Second
by
commissioner
beloga,
thank
you
so
motion
by
commissioner
thorson
second
by
commissioner
olse
baloga,
to
approve
the
2021
cb
cdbg
budget
and
2021
cdbg
action
plan.
I
will
now
call
for
a
vote
on
the
motion.
Myra.
Can
you
take
the
roll.
A
C
F
H
Just
a
quick
update,
I
meant
to
mention
before
my
staff
report,
that
homes
within
reach
the
the
land
trust
they
were
unable
to
expand
all
of
their
20
19
funds,
so
they
carried
over
75
000
into
the
the
current
program
year
and
so
that
that
meant
that
they
were
gonna
do
three
houses
in
the
current
year
that
we're
in,
and
they
just
notified
me
the
other
day
that
they've
purchased
that
third
home
so
they're
on
track
to
fulfill
their
obligation
with
us.
So
that's
really
terrific
news.
B
D
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
lewis,
so
I
do
have
a
presentation
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
share
my.
D
D
Can
you
all
see
the
first
slide
of
the
presentation?
All
right?
Thank
you.
So
this
is
our
development
update
and
so
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance
so
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance,
which
is
the
city
of
bloomington's
inclusionary
zoning
policy,
often
called
oho,
was
adopted
by
the
city
council
on
february
25th
of
2019
and
then
put
into
full
effect
in
september
of
the
same
year.
In
december
of
that
year,
an
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
D
Revolving
loan
fund
had
an
allocation
of
15.2
million
dollars
that
was
approved
by
the
city
council,
and
this
has
been
it
has
been
in
effect
ever
since
then,
as
we
are
learning
and
growing
with
what
is
needed
to
address
our
housing
policies
and
housing
issues
or
concerns
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
D
So,
on
march,
8th,
there
were
amendments
proposed
and
recommended
to
city
council,
and
those
amendments
did
pass
or
become
adopted
by
the
city
council,
and
so
that
means
that
the
amendments
that
we
brought
forward
to
you
as
a
recommendation,
the
city
council,
did
adopt
those
amendments
to
the
city
code,
which
is
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance,
which
is
chapter
nine
of
the
city
code
and
so
just
to
be
clear.
D
So
here's
a
couple
of
maps
first
map
is
highlighted
the
designated
transit
areas
and
opportunity
zones.
This
is
the
whole
map
of
bloomington
and
you'll
see
to
the
right
on
your
screen.
The
red
area
is
what
is
considered
the
south
loop.
It
is
also
a
federal
opportunity
zone
and
then
to
the
left
of
that
red
area
is
outlined
in
blue,
that
is,
the
gateway
development
district,
which
you'll
see
the
next
picture
pulled
out.
A
little
bit
highlights
a
little
bit
more
of
the
gateway
development
district.
D
D
This
was
included
in
our
march
briefing,
so
the
briefing
that
is
mailed
to
all
residents
of
bloomington
and
we
highlighted
four
developments
of
the
work
that
has
been
done
under
the
with
assistance
from
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
and
so
the
district
at
1901,
80th
street
west
lindell
flats,
9320,
lindell
avenue,
south
village
club
at
1986
street
east
and
a
108th
place
at
40
51
108th
street
west
in
these
are
highlighted,
but
there's
other
developments
that
are
not
highlighted
here,
but
a
total
of
six
1
611
units
were
are
in
the
pipeline
for
development
at
various
stages
and
of
those
290
units
are
affordable.
D
It
is
currently
is
currently
under
construction
and
partially
open,
so
they
have
opened
the
east,
the
east
building
of
the
district's
development
and
occupancy
has
started,
and
they
are
looking
to
open
the
west
building
of
development.
I
believe
the
update
I
received
was
around
this
is
march.
Around
may
or
june
is
to
open
up
the
west
building
of
development.
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
our
hra
staff
is
working
diligently
to
help
fill
the
50
affordable
units
that
are
affordable
at
50
ami.
D
So
that
is
something
that
our
staff
has
been
working
on
in
partnership
with
the
district's
management.
D
D
D
Some
of
these
are
repeats,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
recap.
These
are
developments
that
you
all
have
had
a
say.
A
vote
in
excuse
me
because
there
has
been
some
public
investment.
D
The
next
one
is
lindale
flats
9320,
linda
avenue,
south.
This
is
also
new
construction
of
81
units
100,
affordable
at
60
area
meeting
income.
They
have
received
environmental
response
funds
that
is
awarded
through
hennepin
county.
They
have
also
received
met
council,
livable
communities,
development
funds
and
they
also
have
received
tax
increment
financing
that
you,
that
was
approved
by
the
board
and
city
council,
and
so
this
is
under
construction
and
is
expected
to
be
completed
or
estimated.
D
I'm
sorry
if
I
said
that
this
received
litec
because
it
did
not
the
next
one,
is
8012
old,
cedar
avenue.
This
is
new
construction
68
units,
this
development
received
litec,
which
is
low
income,
housing
tax
credits,
so
they
received
11
million
dollar
bond
award
for
leitech,
and
this
was
awarded
in
mid-january
to
this
project.
D
D
D
The
oho
incentives
that
they
are
taking,
part
of,
which
was
a
part
of
the
amendments
that
were
approved
by
the
city
council
to
the
oho,
is
a
minimum
of
nine
percent
units
affordable
at
or
below
30
percent
area.
Meeting
income
for
a
50
percent
site
area
reduction,
a
minimum
of
nine
percent
units
affordable
at
or
below
30
percent
area
mean
income
for
50
site,
with
reduction
and
a
minimum
of
nine
percent
units
affordable
at
or
below
30
area
media
income
for
a
50
open
space
reduction,
so
they
are
offering
six
units
affordable.
D
At
thirty
percent
area,
meeting
income,
the
remaining
eight
units
or
nine
units-
sorry
can't
add
tonight,
the
remaining
nine
units
will
be
affordable
at
50
area
median
income
and
then
the
remaining
53
units
will
be
affordable
at
60
area
median
income.
So
it's
full
affordability,
full
affordability
on
this
project,
the
reason
for
the
site
area
reduction
site
with
reduction,
open
space
reduction,
I've
included
just
a
as
you
can
see
it.
D
D
D
Now
we
are
still
working
and
talking
with
the
developer,
to
get
an
updated
performance
to
understand
where
the
project
is
at,
but
there
is
anticipation
and
interest
of
applying
for
the
super
rfp
through
minnesota
housing
this
summer,
so
summer,
2021,
which
would
be
for
additional
additional
funding
for
the
project
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
there
are
other
discussions
in
play
around
different
developments,
so
there's
potential
development
discussions
right
now.
D
That
would
be
in
the
northwest
sector
of
four
of
gateway,
district
of
400
units
in
the
east
sector
of
gateway,
200
units
and
in
the
southwest
sector
500
units
all
of
these
units
would
be
mixed
income,
I
cannot
say
they're
all
affordable.
I
cannot
say
they're
all
market
rate.
It
would
be
mixed
income.
D
So
another
development
that
is
in
discussion
is
1801
american
boulevard
and
the
reason
this
is
up
is
because
knox
and
american
is
a
redevelopment
area,
and
it
is,
this
would
be
phase
four
of
this
redevelopment
area,
and
so
this
is
the
property
that
is
in
green
to
the
lower
left
of
your
screen,
is
hra
owned
property
and
that
it
would
be
about
100
units
that
would
be
looked
at
in
development
of
this
to
the
right
are
the
current
developments
that
happen
in
phases.
D
One
two
and
I
believe
three,
because
the
district
is
over
there,
but
you
have
genesee,
you
have
fresh
time,
you
have
home
too,
so
you
have
quite
a
business
area,
and
so
we
are
looking
at
phase
four.
H
Can
I
just
interrupt
real,
quick
erica?
This
is
brian
hartman.
Sorry
just
wanted
to
mention
to
the
commissioners
that
long
time,
partner,
united
properties,
keith
ulstead,
has
announced
his
retirement
effective
july
1st.
So
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
we've
worked
with
keith
through
the
all
the
previous
phases
of
knoxville
penn.
Americans
just
thought.
You
would
like
to
know
that
sorry
for
the
interruption.
D
D
I
wanted
to
bring
up
the
tiff
district
request
because
I
think
it's
important
for
council
to
know.
I
did
not
update
the
slide
real,
quick
but
700
american
boulevard.
D
This
is
acquisition
and
land
assembly,
so
it's
a
a
site
of
potential
development
that
includes
acquisition
of
or
par
acquisition
of
part
or
all
of
two
additional
parcels
to
advance
in
high
density
project.
D
That
is
important
because
we
have
tiff
bills
moving
through
the
house
and
the
senate
at
this
time.
With
this
request,
and
so
I
wanted
to
bring
forward
to
the
commission
exceeding
the
board.
The
second
request
is
at
98th
and
aldridge,
and
so
this
is
a
site
of
transformative,
2.6,
acre
transit,
oriented
mixed-use
redevelopment
in
the
heart
of
our
gateway
district,
which
is,
as
you
know,
between
I-35
and
lindell.
D
The
goals
of
the
development
include
a
transit-oriented
development
on
the
orange
line,
with
a
200
stall
transit
parking,
ramp
bus
staging
and
increase
in
transit
users,
development
of
250
to
375
units
of
high
density,
rental,
housing,
incorporating
the
city's,
affordable
housing
policy,
commercial
space
for
transit
riders
and
residents,
maximizing
development
on
three
underutilized
vacant
parcels,
and
so
with
this
one
there's
actually
two
deviation.
Requests
from
the
existing
tif
statute.
But
without
the
redevelopment
tif,
the
city-owned
property
would
not
be
able
to
be
developed
and
take
advantage
of
the
existing
public
infrastructure.
D
Improvements
such
as
the
orange
line,
transit
station
and
brt
running
through
the
project
and
the
city
would
not
be
in
a
position
to
fund
the
construction
of
a
parking
garage
at
the
orange
line
transit
station,
which
allows
for
the
space
to
develop
the
housing
and
retail
portions
of
the
project,
so
that
flexibility
is
really
crucial
to
addressing
our
housing
needs
in
harmony
with
transit
infrastructure
and
community
amenities,
and
so
below
are
renderings
that
were
proposed
during
a
developer
roundtable
process
and
then
to
the
the
upper
left
is
excuse.
D
The
upper
right
is
700
american
boulevard
in
the
red
and
then
that
yellow
line
is
undergrounding
power
line.
So
you
see
there's
a
power
line
that
runs
right
through
between
those
three
properties
which
makes
being
able
to
develop
impossible
and
then
to
the
right,
the
lower
right
across
from
98th
and
aldrich.
These
are
the
three
properties
that
the
hra
actually
owns.
Excuse
me,
the
city
of
bloomington
actually
owns
one
property
and
the
other
two
are
owned
by
metro
by
met
council,
and
so
this
here's,
the
house
file
1970.
D
D
Now
we
have
a
senate
file
and
I'm
for
blanking
on
the
the
number
but
I'll
get
it
right.
After
this
presentation
we
have
senate
file
that
is
going
to
the
property
tax
division
tomorrow,
and
I
am
testifying
in
support
of
these.
This
tif
request
tomorrow
morning
at
8
30
a.m
for
these
bills.
D
So
I
thought
it
was
very
important
just
to
include
you
and
let
you
know
what's
happening
and
how
it
is
interacting
with
the
state
legislature,
because
I
know
that
was
questions
that
were
asked
of
by
commissioners
just
want
to
remind
of
our
affordable
housing
goals
as
numbers
set
by
met
council
and
where
our
progress
has
been
so
842.
D
We
have
393
of
those
in
progress
or
already
opened
breaking
this
number
of
393
down
just
a
little
bit
further
151
low
income
units
at
60
ami
is
what
is
recommended.
D
We
have
329
at
two
246
very
low
income
units
which
is
50
ami
is
recommended,
and
we
have
37
and
445
extremely
low
income
units,
which
is
30
ami
and
we
have
27..
D
I
want
to
highlight
just
a
couple
of
things:
one
to
get
to
the
50
and
the
30
does
require
more
investment,
whether
that
investment
is
public
investment
such
as
bloomington
or
tax,
increment
financing
or
affordable
housing,
trust
fund,
or
if
that
public
investment
comes
from
other
entities
or
other
parties
which,
typically,
when
you're
trying
to
get
down
to
30
percent
pers.
In
specifically,
you
need
multiple
sources
to
reach
these
numbers,
and
so
we
are
on
a
good
track.
D
As
far
as
noaa
units
we
don't
have.
A
number
broken
down
for
a
goal
was
to
be
determined,
but
we
have
306
in
properties,
noaa
properties
or
unix.
Excuse
me
in
bloomington
that
have
been
preserved
and
then
1458
market
rate
units
and
we've
only
done
197.
D
So
just
looking
at
the
progress
we
are
on
track
and
we
are
making
headway
just
because
we
are
at
329
low
income
units
and
it's
only
recommended
for
151.
I
just
want
to
caution
that
60
percent
ami
or
below
is
still
a
great
attainable
goal,
as
it
does
include
quite
a
few
people
if
we
move
completely
to
50
and
30.
While
we
are
addressing
the
needs
of
quite
a
few
people,
we
are
leaving
out
a
lot
of
people
that
are
just
over
that
50
mark,
but
they
aren't
quite
at
the
60.
D
Achieved
so
additional
developments,
so
the
hra
old,
shakopee
and
old
cedar
avenue
in
discussion
of
100
about
149
units
which
would
20
would
be
affordable
at
or
below
50
and
then
the
port
authority.
So
I
know
we
typically
don't
have
information
too
much
information.
D
We
do
bring
it
forward,
but
the
port
authority
has
some
developments:
8131
34th
avenue,
which
is
142
senior
units,
nine
percent
at
sixty
percent
ami,
so
abiding
by
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
rosa,
which
is
thirty,
seven
hundred
thirty,
seven,
fifty
american
boulevard
east-
they
are
doing
twenty
percent
units
at
fifty
percent
area,
mean
income
and
then
american
square.
There
are
phases,
one
two
and
potentially
phase
three
american
square
would
potentially
include
market
rate
and
affordable
housing,
as
well
as
a
possible
hotel
conversion
of
to
market
rate
and
affordable
housing.
D
So
this
is
just
a
little
bit
more
information
about
the
rosa
and
just
the
rendering
and
they're
expected
to
start
construction
this
year
and
then
just
a
little
bit
more
information
about
american
square
one
and
two.
So
this
is
phase
phase
one.
The
order
pil
means
payment
in
lieu.
So
this
is
the
market
rate
that
they
would
be
constructing
and
they
would
provide
a
payment
in
lieu
of
producing,
affordable
units.
D
This
is
important
because
that
payment
in
lieu
helps
build
out
our
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
so
we're
not
always
opposed
to
a
payment
in
lieu
because
it
works
to
create
affordable
units
elsewhere
in
bloomington
and
then
phase
two,
the
quinn
which
is
six
apple
tree
square
86
units
100,
affordable
at
60
ami,
and
so
this
is
showing
the
workforce
space
which
the
queen
will
be
right
here
to
the
left
of
your
screen
on
the
bottom.
There's
an
existing
ramp.
D
There
would
be
a
proposed
ramp
that
would
come
with
the
quinn
and
then
this
market
rate
is
phase
one
which
would
be
the
242
units
of
the
american
american
square.
Excuse
me
so
with
that
I
will
stand
for
any
questions,
but
I
do
want
to
go
back
and
just
leave
up
on
your
screen
that
I
am
requesting
approval
to
move
forward
with
the
with
the
public
hearing
process
for
8012
old
cedar
avenue.
B
Okay,
thank
you
administrator
coleman
for
such
comprehensive
update.
Are
there
questions
for
administrator
coleman.
B
C
C
However,
I
think
we
should
do
a
plane
equal
to
all
other
residents,
with
the
necessity
and
and
taking
away
the
landmass,
the
green
areas,
the
play
spaces.
Those
kinds
of
I
think
it's
just
the
wrong
technique
for
doing
it.
It's
a
bit
easier
to
do.
C
Others
may
have
other
thoughts
and
other
feelings,
and,
and
I,
if
anyone
does
have
questions,
I
would
of
me
I'd-
be
happy
to
stand
for
those.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Beloga.
Are
there
any
other
questions
and
are
there
any
questions
for
commissioner
belogas,
since
he's
kind
of
he's
opened
himself
for
questions
regarding.
G
G
You
know
I
share
in
in
a
very
general
term
the
the
I'm
not
opposed
to
density,
but
I
think,
with
with
going
up,
we
need
some
green
space.
We
need
some
place
for
the
families
to
recreate
or
enjoy,
or
just
have
space,
and
some
of
you
might
recall
my
concerns
about
the
original
proposal
at
american
and
lindale
as
really
packing
too
much
on
that
land,
and
we
went
on
to
now
be
looking
at.
G
You
know,
burying
power
lines
and
and
creating
more
space
for
a
development,
and
I
I
just
I'm
kind
of
a
believer
that
the
families
in
these
units
also
deserve
green
space
and
landscaping,
and
I
just
don't
want
to
see
us.
You
know
this
is
just
a
very
general
comment.
It's
not
about
any
particular
project,
but
I
really
do
want
to
make
sure
that
that,
with
an
increase
in
height,
which
I'm
not
opposed
to,
we
have
adequate
green
space
and
recreating
space
for
the
families
that
live
there.
G
I
think
we
can
make
exceptions
when
it's
close
to
parks
and
in
the
case
of
old
cedar,
there's
a
lot
of
areas
to
recreate.
I
mean
I
think
we
can
look
at
each
one
individually,
but
again
I've
I've
had
that
concern
since,
since
the
original
project
at
american
and
lindale
came
up-
and
I
just
think
we
should,
in
my
opinion,
we
should-
you
know-
make
sure
that
the
the
families
that
live
in
these
units
have
adequate
open.
G
Space
might
not
even
be
the
best
term,
but
we
don't
want
to
pack
so
much
into
it
that
it's
just
a
stark
concrete.
You
know
area
without
landscaping
with
a
lot
of
open
space.
D
Thank
you,
commissioner
balogua
and
commissioner
thorson.
I
just
want
to
add
that
that
was.
In
addition,
that
was
a
recommendation
from
the
planning
commission
to
make
sure
that
we
are
looking
at
on
a
development
by
development
basis,
the
especially
when
it
comes
to
open
space,
the
ability
to
have
green
space
close
or
nearby
that
is
accessible
for
developments.
D
So
I
just
wanna
say
it's:
it's
it's
been
heard,
staff
is
looking
at
that,
and
also
it's
always
going
to
be
on
a
development
by
development
basis
that
incentives
are
asked
for,
and
incentives
are
approved
or
or
rejected,
so
just
want
to
bring
that
back
up.
So
thank.
F
B
Yeah,
we
were
because
I
wasn't
all
right.
Yes,
commissioner,
olson.
F
I
agree
also
with
the
sentiments
expressed
by
all
three
are
both
commissioner
umbolga
and
commissioner
thorson,
that
that
green
space
is
an
important
amenity
to
the
quality
of
life,
and
and
so
I'm,
I'm
glad
that
we
are
working
toward
that
and
to
whatever
extent,
this
information
goes
to
the
city
council
and
and
moving
this
forward,
not
only
this
project
but,
as
commissioner
thorson
indicated,
I
think
it
needs
to
be
something
that
we
hold
as
a
pretty
important
priority
in
terms
of
the
issue
of
spreading
out
the
where
we
end
up
putting
money,
particularly
with
the
extra
cost
for
thirty
percent.
F
F
I
don't
know
that
for
a
fact,
but
I
think
we
need
to
go
where
the
money
is,
to
some
extent
with
the
idea
that
it's
always
going
to
be
an
issue
with
those
at
30
percent
ami,
and
we
just
need,
I
think,
to
work
harder
to
get.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
commissioner
olsen.
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
in
the
2021
annual
plan
that
was
approved
by
this
board,
building
strategic
partnerships
was
approved,
and
that
does
include
building
strategic
partnerships.
I
just
want
to
be
clear:
there
is
some
fine
line
around
soliciting,
so
we
we
must
be
very
careful.
D
However,
the
hra,
in
conjunction
with
the
broader
community
development
department,
is
working
on
a
better
telling
the
story
of
the
work
that
we
have
done
and
the
work
that
we
do
as
it
aligns
to
the
priorities
set
by
the
city
council
and
the
hra
board.
So
we
are
on
that
track
of
highlighting
the
work
and
showing
the
needs
of
the
residents
and
potential
residents
of
the
city
of
bloomington.
So
thank
you.
F
Thank
you.
I
I
made
a
copy
of
our
the
information,
the
public,
the
info
release,
news
release
about
our
new
community
development
director,
and
I
think
that
talking
about
strategic
partners,
we
have
a
new
partner
in
terms
of
a
full-time
full
hire
community
development
director.
So
if
we
can
end
up,
I'm
sure
it's
it's
planned
at
some
point.
I
think
she
just
started
on
the
15th
so
catching
her
breath
and
so
forth,
but
look
forward
to
having
some
discussion.
F
That
would
maybe
include
some
things
like
what
we've
been
talking
about
just
now
in
our
meeting
tonight.
B
B
Hearing
no
further
discussion
or
no
further
questions
at
this
time.
Do
I
hear
a
motion
to
review
and
support
the
recommendation
to
proceed
with
80,
12
old
cedar,
public
investment
request
process.
F
Wording
in
our
packet,
but
if,
if
I
can
just
simply
say
the
wording
that
you
said
that
I
would
put
into
a
motion,
I
would
like
to
do
so.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
commissioner.
Olson.
Is
there
a
second
commissioner
who
came
second,
thank
you,
commissioner,
who
came.
It
has
been
moved
by
commissioner
olson
seconded
seconded
by
commissioner,
who
came
that
we
moved
to
review
and
support
the
recommendation
to
proceed
with
8012
old
cedar
public
investment
request
process.
B
B
A
A
B
Thank
you,
myra
on
to
discussion,
item
6.2.
This
was
the
commissioner
questions.
Commissioner
phukem
did
you
want
to
speak
on
this
item.
E
Thank
you,
chair,
louis,
yes,
so
I
recently
attended
a
community
conversation
with
one
of
our
current
council
members
and
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
put
out
and
ask
staff
or
whoever,
if
it
would
make
sense
for
I
got
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
community
of
questions
regarding
ami
regarding
part
projects
going
on,
especially
in
the
fourth
or
in
my
district,
because
we
are
the
gateway
district.
E
So
I'm
wondering
if
the
hra
has
considered
reaching
or
joining
with
the
community
outreach
program,
directors
and
creating
maybe
a
community
conversation
with
the
hra
and
the
community.
There
just
seems
to
be
a
lot
of
questions,
especially
with
I
mean
we're
growing,
we're
developing
and
I'm
just
it's
just
something
I
was
just
wanting
to
put
out
there.
I
answered
some
questions
at
the
community
conversation.
D
Thank
you,
chair
lewis
and
commissioner
huhim,
so
to
follow
up
in
the
2021
annual
plan.
It
was
to
coordinate
with
the
community
outreach
and
engagement
department.
Tracy
smith
is
who
is
assigned
to
community
development
hra,
and
so
we
will
be
setting
that
meeting
up.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
and
honest.
We
haven't
set
the
meeting
up
yet,
but
it
is
on
there.
We
will
be
setting
it
up
and
it
does
fall
in
line
with
answering
the
questions
of
what
is
the
hra
so
more
things
about
that.
D
I
will
bring
forward
to
in
that
meeting
that
an
idea
would
be
hosting
community
conversations.
D
So
I
will
add
that
information
and
I
should
be
able
to
follow
up
with
you
in
the
coming
weeks
about
that
meeting
and
what
steps
we're
taking
from
there
and
also
to
make
sure
that
any
community
community
community
conversations
that
are
hosted
commissioners
are
notified
so
that
they
can
be
included
as
well.
B
G
I
would
like
to
add
something
suggest
in
addition
to
a
future
meeting,
and
that
is
something
that,
for
all
kinds
of
good
reasons
has
been
on
the
back
burner
for
quite
a
while.
But
many
of
you
may
remember
that
the
that
the
streetscape
for
penn
american
is
considered
temporary
the
lighting.
G
There
were
many
times
in
which
we
were
going
to
proceed
with
with
a
comprehensive
plan
to
address
a
you
know:
pedestrian
kind
of
amenities
street
lighting,
which
again
you
know
was-
was
temporary
street
scaping
and
I
said
and,
as
I
said,
benches
places
for
people
to
sit
and
so
forth,
and-
and
I
think
there
have
been
a
lot
of
good
reasons
why
we
haven't
gotten
there,
including
you
know
turnover
of
staff
and
so
forth.
G
But
I
really
think
it's
important
to
put
that
back
on
the
agenda
and
talk
about
that.
As
we
are
even
talking
about
phase
four
now
and
so
erica.
I
know
you
may
not
have
all
the
history
on
it,
but
I
just
it's
just
it's
it's
it's
sort
of
undone
business
at
this
point
and
if,
if
one
goes
through
there,
you'll
see
that
there's
really
nothing.
Let's
you
know
face
it.
G
Nothing
special
there
right
now
in
terms
of
streetscape
and
that's
because
we
had
decided
to
at
one
point
see
how
the
the
other
phases
developed
and
then
try
to
do
something
more
comprehensive.
For
example,
we
didn't
even
at
one
point
we
had
phase
one.
We
weren't
really
talking
about
a
comprehensive
streetscape,
because
we
didn't
know
if
we
were
going
to
put
that
whether
it
was
an
81st
through
and
a
lot
has
happened,
and
I
think
it's
time
to
put
that
right
on
the
agenda,
and
so
that
is
my
request
or
proposal.
G
And
the
other
item
is
is
very
minor,
but
it
relates.
This
board
approved
a
allocation
of
funds
in
a
phase
two,
I
think
or
public
art,
and
I
think
that
I
forget
what
amount
came
out
of
the
hre
budget
and
then
community
development
put
in
probably
an
equal
amount.
If
I'm
not
mistaken
could
have
been
more
and
it
was
the
beginning
of
a
process
to
encourage
public
art
in
our
redevelopments,
which
I
I
think
is
a
good
thing.
It
lends
identity
and
so
forth.
G
The
public
art
that
was
done
in
in
pen
and
american
is
kind
of
cool.
I
think,
actually
it's
these
stainless
steel
things
that
kind
of
look
like
fruits
and
vegetables,
and
I
think
it's
a
matter
of
the
new
ownership.
I
think
when
ownership
transferred,
but
it
is,
it
hasn't,
not
been
lit
up
for
months
and
that's,
I
think
it's
an
attractive
feature
and
I
think
we
need
to
look
into
you
know
what
has
happened
with
that.
You
really
don't
notice
it.
G
You
typically
don't
notice
it
during
the
day
and
you
certainly
don't
notice
it
at
night
when
when
it
would
typically
be
be
lit
up-
and
you
know
again,
another
oversight,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
find
out
kind
of
who
has
the
switch
on
that
who
decides
to
turn
it
on
and
so
forth.
Maybe
other
people
have
more
history
on
that
than
I
do,
but
that's
kind
of
my
recollection
and
that
with
that
I'll
I'll
stop
babbling.
D
Thank
you,
chair
lewis
and
commissioner
thorson
a
couple
of
things
I'll
take
the
last
one
first,
so
in
terms
of
the
art
installment,
I
was
made
aware
of
this
previously,
commissioner
thorson
thank
you
and
did
reach
out
and
you're
right
due
to
the
changes
in
ownership.
There
was
a
lapse
and
then
there
was
some
more
changes
with
the
ownership
staff,
so
the
message
was
not
passed
along
that
it
lit
up,
which
is
very
interesting
because
they
just
didn't
know.
D
But
since
then
the
most
recent
communication
I
have
is
from
march
18th
when
I
brought
it
up
again
to
our
creative
place
making
and
they
reached
out
immediately
and
we
are
being
notified
that
an
electrician
is
checking
on
it
and
we
will
be
brought
back
into
the
loop
about
what's
going
on,
but
we
have
requested
that
it
be
lit
up
per
the
agreement
and
the
investment
that
it
it
continued
to
be
lit
up.
D
As
expected,
I
did
want
to
ask
when
you
mention
putting
on
the
agenda:
pin
american
streetscape.
I
just
want
to
understand
what
that
means
to
put
on
the
agenda,
because
is
this
something
you
want
negotiated
with
the
developer
during
the
development
agreement
process?
Or
is
this
something
that
the
hra
city
and
potentially
other
departments
or
whatnot,
would
look
at
investing
in
outside
the
developer
and
saying
we
want
these
things
installed?
So
I
want
to
understand
what
it
means
to
be
put
on
the
agenda
with
the
board.
G
Sure
my
understanding
was
there
was
some
there
were
funds
allocated
and
set
aside
for
landscaping
or
and
whether
those
funds
were
public
money
or
developer
money.
It
was
so
long
ago.
Quite
frankly,
I
don't
recall,
but
there
were
some
discussions.
G
You
know
even
to
the
point
pre-covert,
of
course,
of
going
out
and
doing
a
field
trip
and
visiting
some
of
the
areas,
some
of
the
new
developments
that
are
similar
where
they've
done
sort
of
a
great
job
of
streetscaping-
and
you
know
some
of
the
elements
of
pen
and
american
that
many
of
us
you
know
agreed
upon,
were
you
know
all
kinds
of
elements,
including
the
including
the
on-street
parking,
but
also
wider
sidewalks,
so
that
you
know
if
a
restaurant
came
in
there
could
be.
G
You
know
a
little
cafe
or
something
and
but
but
again,
quite
frankly,
I
I
don't
recall
where
the
funding
was
to
come
from,
but
it
was
all.
G
I
believe
it
was
all
like
pre-negotiated
that,
where
there
was
going
to
be
a
streetscaping
plan
in
place
and
erica,
you
might
have
to
just
you
know,
check
with
staff
and
so
on
on
additional
staff
on
you
know
the
like
the
lighting
and
and
how
that
was,
you
know
chosen,
but
it
had
always
been
an
intent
to
do
something
more
comprehensive,
including
all
at
the
time
the
present
and
then
future
developments.
G
Now
we're
really
talking
about
current
developments
and
maybe
phase
four,
I
would
ask
if
any
of
the
commissioners
might
have
any
recollection
of
further
than
what
I
do
right
now.
B
I
this,
commissioner,
this
is
chair,
lewis.
I
do
remember
the
field
trip
so,
but
I'm
not
sure
where
we
ended
on
that.
G
Well,
I
think
it
was
sort
of
that
we
were
going
to
proceed
sort
of
at
the
end
of
you
know,
doug's
tenure
when
he
took
another
position
and
again
anybody
correct
me.
If
I,
if
I'm
wrong,
but
my
understanding
is
that
what
we
have
there
is
very
temporary,
we
don't
really
have
benches.
We
really.
G
You
know
the
lighting
is
very,
very
basic.
You
know
we
had
some
discussions
about
the
kind
of
lighting
that
might
have
seasonal,
seasonal
decorations
and
things
like
some
other
places.
Do
I
mean
it
was
it
was?
It
was
an
empty
slate,
but
if
there
was
to
be
discussion
of
a
of
a
of
a
streetscaping
landscaping
plan-
and
hopefully.
B
Oh
right,
yes,
brian
hartman,
mr
hartman,
oh.
D
I
will
look
into
that
because
streetscape
as
in
terms
of
what
I
understand
the
agreement
that
the
hra
and
the
city
currently
have
for
the
developments
of
phase
two
phase,
one
and
possibly
part
of
phase
three
includes
the
hra
pain
for
maintenance
and
utilities
of
the
streets
that
the
hra
maintained
ownership
over
it.
Does
it
in
the
agreement
that
I
have
looked
at
it
does
not
include
adding
additional
benefits,
such
as
benches
and
whatnot.
D
It's
it's
literally
us
paying
for
maintenance,
repair,
water
lines
of
the
streets,
maintenance
of
sanitary
sewer
systems,
snow
plowing
utilities,
so
I
will
have
to
go
back
and,
and
I'm
glad
you're
bringing
this
up,
because
I
am
in
discussions
about
this
development
as
I'm
learning
more
and
more
of
what
has
been
agreed
to
so
that
I
will
make
sure
to
look
into
that,
and
specifically
ask
about
that.
D
G
And
again,
I
would
just
say
I
ask
that,
because
this
is
a
lot
of
time
has
passed,
you
know
one,
could
you
know
thrive
through
there
and
and
say?
Is
this
what
we
would
have
done
with
this
area?
G
If,
if
we
were
starting
new
and
again
it's
just
in
the
back
my
mind
that
that
was
like,
we
did
temporary
things
and
whether
it
was
driven
by
the
developer,
driven
by
this
board
or
driven
by
budget.
I
quite
frankly,
don't
remember,
but
look
at
it
say
is
this:
is
this
our
highest
and
best
we
could
have,
could
have
done,
and
is
there
a
way
to
to
give
it
that
feel
that
I
think
we
all
hope
we
we
want
in
our
redevelopments.
B
H
A
H
If
you
drive
through
there
today
on
80th
and
a
half
street
or
whatever
that
street
is
called,
which
is
we
tried
to
name
it
something
different,
but
they
won't
let
us,
but
there
are
three
different
street
lights
on
that
street.
Now
for
three
different
phases:
three
different
street
lights:
it
doesn't
communicate
unity
at
all.
It
doesn't
commute,
communicate
any
type
of
streetscape
master
planning
of
any
kind.
So
I
think
an
effort
to
do
that
would
be
terrific.
B
Yes,
this
is
this
is
chair
lewis
and
I
I
would
have
to
agree.
I
was
just
drove
through
that
area
just
very
very
recently
and
right
now
it's
it
is
it's.
It's
doesn't
stand
out.
I
mean
it
was
a
little
disappointing
when
you
go
through
there,
you
kind
of
try
to
get
through
there
as
quickly
as
you
can
so
yeah.
B
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
thing
to
look
into
so
thank
you,
commissioner,
thoresen,
for
bringing
that
up
and
thank
you
administrator
coleman
and
mr
hartman
for
considering
looking
into
that.
For
us.
That
would
be
great.
Thank
you,
chair
lewis.
Yes,
commissioner,
olson
thank.
F
You
I
have
some
recollections
about
these
topics
and
I
think
what's
happened
is
that
we've
gone
through.
F
I
don't
know
close
to
two
years
or
whatever
of
of
interim
status,
and
I
think
some
balls
have
been
dropped
a
little
bit,
and
so
we
need
to
pick
them
up
and
go
with
it
and
one
of
the
things
that
on
the
art,
art
part,
I
I
mean
these
kinds
of
things-
add
quality
to
life
pride
in
neighborhood
and
that
kind
of
thing
if
they
are
good
and
if
they're
haphazard
as
three
different
kinds
of
streetlights
suggest,
then
it's
just
the
other
way
around.
F
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
throw
in
another
example.
We
had
a
mural
painted.
There
is
a
mural
painted
on
old
cedar
that
close
to
the
park
over
there.
That
was
a
really
a
neat
collaboration
with
the
art
community.
F
We
had
a
couple
of
people
from
an
organization
that
that
guided
the
process,
but
there
were
kids
from
nearby
middle
school.
I
think
it
was
in
particular
an
opportunity
for
community
to
have
input
into
it,
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
may
want
to
do
in
terms
of
processes.
We
in
our
strategic
planning,
we
came
up
with
lots
of
things
and,
commissioner
thorson.
I
appreciate
you
bringing
up
the
examples
that
you
have.
F
Seeing
if
we
can
have
let's
say
a
mark
thorson
that
works
with
creative
placemaking
or
somebody
else,
as
kind
of
a
ex-officio
member
of
a
committee
or
less
formal
than
that,
even
and
and
and
with
other
kinds
of
things
as
well.
So
I
just
saw
that
out
as
a
possibility.
But
I
I
think,
as
you
indicate
commissioner
thorson
it's
it's
important,
that
we
look
for
that
comprehensive
plan
and
have
some
people
that
are
reminding
people
listening
to
be
put
on
the
table.
D
So
thank
you,
chair
lewis
and
commissioner
olson.
I
have
taken
note
of
that.
I
will
follow
back
up
with
you
in
regards
to
the
creative
place
making
committee.
I'm
not
sure
if
they're
committee
aboard
what
it
would
most
likely
be,
is
a
presentation
or
discussion
with
staff,
because
we
we
have
to
know
where
the
money's
coming
from
to
to
do
things,
but
initial
presentation
or
discussion
with
that
committee
and
or
board
would
definitely
be
welcomed
and
joined
staff
with
a
commissioner
or
two
to
to
do
that.
G
And
I
and
again
I
my
request-
was
it
that
it,
if
possible,
be
an
agenda
item,
it
could
be
as
simple
as
an
update,
but
what
you
know
sort
of
what
have
you
learned
as
you've
talked
to
staff
and
developers
and
status
and
about
the
streetscaping.
I
had
no
idea.
There
are
three
different
types
of
streetlights.
I
just
knew
that
they
were
temporary
and
not
very
attractive.
So
that's
even
new
news,
so
I
think
you
know
if
it's,
if
it's
an
update,
hopefully
it
can
lead
towards
a
discussion.
G
I
think
streetscaping
is
a
really
important,
just
as
I
sort
of
indicated
green
space
and
the
streetscaping.
The
feeling
of
this
is
my
home
is
is
really
important
and
lighting
has
to
do
with
safety
and
benches
have
to
do
with
with
people's
ability,
especially
if
they
have
limited
mobility
to
be
able
to
sit,
and
you
walk
a
little
bit
and
sit
and
all
those
kinds
of
things
and
and
no
blame
here.
G
But
I
don't
think:
we've
met
any
kind
of
standard
there
in
penn
american
and
time
to
look
at
it
and
if,
if
it's
a
budget
issue,
it's
something
we
need
to
then
deal
with
and
figure
out
how
to
how
to
make
it
make
it.
Well,
you
know
what
something
like
that
should
be.
G
This
is
our
primary
you
know,
except
for
oxborough,
which
is
a
number
of
years
ago.
This
is
our
biggest.
You
know,
example
to
the
community
of
what
redevelopment
can
be
in
bloomington.
B
F
I'm
going
back
to
the
generic
6.2
topic
right
now,
but
if
that's
timely
o
with
you.
F
Okay,
I
went
to
look.
I
I
kept
the
article
in
the
sun
current.
F
I
think
it
was
about
a
recent
occurrence
that
that
revved
up
some
memories,
we've
been
involved
in
the
past,
with
what's
happening
at
portland
and
the
project
that
was
supposed
to
have
happened,
a
national
or
whatever
meeting
here
in
the
twin
cities
that
got
cancelled
or
whatever,
due
to
covet
with
a
national
project
where,
where
specialists
experts
would
come,
come
and
work
with
us,
and
we
were,
I
believe,
selected
for
that
portland
thing
and
and
that
meeting
recently
happened
virtually
I'm
sure.
F
But
I
I
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
that,
and-
and
I
assume
administrator
coleman
that
that
project
is
actually
in
the
domain
of
us.
It's
it's
in
the
in
the
district
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So
could
you
talk
to
us
about
that,
and
is
there
a
way
for
us
to
kind
of
re-engage
as
a
as
a
commission.
D
Thank
you,
chair
lewis,
commissioner
olson.
This
is
newer
information
to
me,
so
I
will
have
to
do
a
little
bit
more
research
just
because
I'm
I'm
new
and
coming
up
to
speed
with
a
lot
and
I'm
not
quite
sure
exactly
what
is
being
mentioned
here.
So
I'll
have
to
follow
back
up
with
that
information,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify.
You
said
that
there
is
a
national
initiative
that
bloomington,
or
the
hra
in
particular,
was
selected
to
be
a
part
of,
and
it
was
headed
out
of
portland
oregon.
F
No,
no
regarding
our
portland
avenue
and
a
collaboration
with
the
city
of
richfield
can
somebody
come
up
with
a
name.
I'm
I'm
bad
with
that
anyway,.
D
The
legacy
project-
okay,
so,
okay,
when
you
said
nationals
like
wait
a
minute
what's
going
on
here,
got
it
so,
yes,
I
can
actually
get
some
more
information
about
that.
That
is
julie.
Farnam
of
planning
has
been
the
lead
on
that
and
has
been
sending
me
emails
and
information.
I
think
we
have
a
meeting
set
up,
but
the
cnu
project.
I
will
get
more
information
and
follow
back
up
that
I
am
a
little
bit
more
aware
of.
I
actually
sorry.
D
D
B
B
B
B
If
not
we'll,
move
on
to
number
seven,
which
are
seven
on
our
agenda,
which
is
adjournment.
Do
I
hear
a
motion
to
adjourn.
F
Commissioner
olsen
suggests
we
adjourn,
makes
a
motion.
B
Second
source
and
thank
you-
we
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
olson
second
by
commissioner
thorson,
to
adjourn.
I
don't
think
we'll
have
any
discussion
on
that
so
myra.
Could
you
call
the
roll
call
vote.
G

nice
work
chair
lewis

Whatever
motion
was
approved
