So
tonight
we
want
to
share
with
you
share
and
discuss
with
you
the
recommendations
that
came
out
of
the
assessment
of
the
hra
by
an
outside
consultant
and
later
tweaked
by
staff.
We
sincerely
believe
that
what
we
are
proposing
aligns
with
our
mission
of
cultivating
and
enduring
and
remarkable
community
where
people
want
to
be.
F
G
G
Kirsten
has
over
30
years
experience
working
in
and
with
municipal
government
in
economic
development
in
may
of
2022.
The
assessment
report
was
finalized
to
address
the
overall
question
again
to
determine
if
the
hra's
mission
and
purpose
have
shifted
over
the
years,
how
current
resources
are
being
used
to
deliver
its
mission
and
whether
the
hra
is
meeting
all
the
development
needs
for
the
city
of
bloomington.
G
As
well
as
if
there
is
a
need
to
create
an
economic
development
authority,
so
during
that
assessment,
how
she
arrived
at
her
recommendations
was
reviewing
almost
30
documents,
interviews
held
with
hra
staff
interviews,
held
to
evaluate
how
the
hra
interacts
with
other
city,
divisions
and
departments
and
interviews
held
with
hra
and
port
authority
board.
Members.
G
G
G
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
the
first
four
bullet
points
were
also
identified
by
this
board
in
the
passing
of
the
strategic
plan,
so
the
recommendations
that
I
am
bringing
forward
are
to
focus
the
hra's
mission
towards
the
continuum
of
housing
and
less
on
redevelopment.
What
this
would
include
is
hra
would
focus
on
housing
projects.
G
I
will
focus
on
those
two
of
the
five
recommendations
that
I
am
bringing
forward.
The
assessment
report
does
identify
quite
a
few
recommendations
but
as
spoken
by
director
henderson
here,
we
are
bringing
forward
these
five
recommendations.
That
is
the
recommendations
that
came
out
of
the
assessment
report
that
have
been
tweaked
by
staff.
We
are
not
making
other
recommendations.
F
G
G
Don't
know
there
we
go
so
what
this
slide
shows
is
everything
that
was
listed
on
the
housing
continuum
with
in
red
the
things
that
I
am
proposing
as
recommendations
to
expand
and
or
add
so
housing
homelessness,
housing
stability.
We
would
continue
housing
choice,
vouchers
which
are
fyi
and
vash.
That's
foster
youth
and
independents
and
veterans,
supportive
housing,
transitional
housing,
navigation
services
and
outreach.
I
would
am
proposing
expansion
of
those
services.
This
is
something
that
was
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic.
I
am
proposing
to
focus
on
expansion
of
that
as
well
as
housing
needs
expansion.
G
This
is
currently
meeting
looking
to
meet
other
needs
of
people
that
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
housing.
Instability
in
the
city
of
bloomington
in
terms
of
affordable
rental
I
am
proposing.
We
keep
everything
that
we
have
housing
choice,
vouchers,
project-based
assistance,
assisted
rental
program,
multi-family
development
finance.
The
role
of
this
board
has
been
with
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
the
hra
development
fund
and
the
hra
noaa
fund.
I'm
not
proposing
any
changes
to
that.
G
Continue
our
foreclosure
prevention
and
expand
down
payment
assistance,
which
currently
is
only
funded
through
american
rescue
plan
act
dollars,
so
it'd
be
focusing
and
expanding
that
opportunity.
That
right
now
is
for
80
percent
ami
households
and
below
in
bloomington,
and
then
you'll
see
in
red
service
coordination
and
collaboration,
public
health,
sustainability
and
human
rights.
G
G
We
would
like
to
provide
opportunities
for
when
people
are
able
to
come
in
and
apply
for
section
8.
They
also
are
able
to
get
the
resources
and
information
about
wic
about
food
stamps,
about
child
care,
about
energy,
about
day
care.
There's
so
many
things
that
right
now
people
are
not
able
to
coordinate
that
and
if
we
are
able
to
realign
our
efforts
to
work
towards
meeting
the
people's
needs
and
putting
them
on
a
pathway
to
rental
without
a
voucher
home
ownership,
we
can
do
that
here
in
the
hra.
G
G
Collaborating
and
partnering
with
other
boards
and
commissions,
as
well
as
other
divisions,
is
working
towards
that,
as
well
as
engage
in
collaborative
initiatives
to
expand,
reach
and
effectiveness
with
insights
gained.
We
have
gained
insights
over
these
past
couple
of
years
and
probably
a
little
bit
stronger
due
to
the
pandemic.
We
have
gained
more
insights,
and
so
with
the
responses
and
with
the
needs
that
we
have
seen
as
well
as
the
need
for
collaboration.
G
This
is
where
we
are
looking
to
expand
our
reach
and
effectiveness,
engagement
and
transparency,
advance
equity,
racial
equity
diversity
and
inclusion
through
outreach
and
representation
again
focusing
on
those
coordinated
services
and
efforts
achieves
this,
but
also
I
want
to
highlight
that
this
board
did
move
forward
and
ask
for
expansion
of
the
board
to
go
from
five
commissioners
to
seven
to
truly
have
representation
of
the
community
in
which
we
serve.
That
is
in
alignment
with
this
housing
creation
preservation,
rehabilitation.
We
have
three
high-level
items.
G
These
recommendations
are
in
align
with
all
three
of
those
lot
items
enhance
offerings
and
resources
for
rehabilitation,
renewal.
That's
the
expansion
of
energy
improvements,
integrate
resources
and
partnerships
to
create
and
preserve,
affordable
units,
that
is,
the
collaboration
and
coordinating
and
working
with
the
port
authority,
and
later
on,
you
will
see
a
better
visual
of
what
that
looks
like
and
then
continuing
to
support.
Private
market
development
down
payment
assistance
does
that
down
payment
assistance
does
not
mean
that
the
home
is
necessarily
an
affordable
home.
G
G
We
are
moving
in
the
pathway
that
we
need
to
move
to
increase,
support
and
service
delivery
with
underserved
populations.
We
have
our
seniors.
How
do
they
age
in
place?
How
do
they
stay
in
the
community?
We
are
looking
to
do
more
of
working
with
them
and
responding
to
their
needs
that
have
come
out
of
different
meetings
that
we
have
had
as
the
hra
board,
but
also
through
the
city,
strategic
planning
process
and
the
racial
equity
strategic
planning
committee.
G
H
H
Port
authority
carries
out
an
essential
function
of
the
state
when
it
exercises
its
power.
It's
not
immune
from
liability
and
things
like
that.
The
port
authority
mission
isn't
as
clearly
stated
in
the
statute
as
the
hra's
mission,
but
it's
not
in
question
about
what
the
port
authority
can
and
cannot
do.
Next.
H
So,
in
a
nutshell,
we'll
focus
this
this
part
of
the
presentation
on
what
the
port
would
do
and
the
port
would
grow
to
include
five
ftes,
which
it
does
not
have
today.
Three
of
those
would
come
from
the
hra
which
are
currently
vacant
positions,
and
when
we
talked
about
this,
the
question
really
is
now
like.
If
you're
going
to
fill
all
those
positions
that
have
been
vacant
for
various
reasons,
where
would
you
fill
them?
Would
you
fill
them
in
the
hra
and
and
do
the
work
there?
H
Or
would
you
fill
them
in
the
port
authority
and
do
the
work
there
and
there's
some
reasons
why
this
group
is
recommending
that
we
do
that
with
you
know,
under
the
port
authority
umbrella,
all
of
us
are
city
staff.
When
it
comes
down
to
it,
it's
just
which
boards
and
how
the
work
is
organized
internal
to
the
city.
It
would
result
in
two
new
ftes
relative
to
what
we
have
today.
H
One
of
those
positions
was
focused
on
the
opportunity.
Housing
ordinance
to
the
new
fts
would
work
not
exclusively,
but
primarily
on
business
development,
expansion
and
retention,
which
we
do
do
some
of
within
the
city
and
the
port
authority,
but
not
as
much
as
I
believe,
the
council
and
port
authority.
H
H
In
order
to
do
this
work,
we
would
decrease
the
hra
levy
with
a
commensurate
amount
and
increase
support
levy
that
same
amount
so
as
to
not
impact
the
limited
taxpayer
any
more
than
if
you
just
left
the
hra
levy
where
it
is,
and
then
some
of
that
funding
would
go
to
citywide
creative
placemaking
efforts,
which
is
another
important
goal
for
the
city
to
leverage.
What
the
credit
placemaking
commission
is
doing
in
the
south
loop
district
and
do
that
citywide,
200
000
a
year
is
a
start.
H
We
continue
to
look
for
more
funding
on
that
over
time,
because
200
grand
a
year
is
a
lot
of
money.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
but
it
it
is
something
that
the
city
council
may
decide
to
increase
funding
from
other
funds
at
some
point
in
the
future,
but
at
least
it'll
get
the
ball
rolling
next
slide,
please!
H
So
here's
the
venn
diagram!
We
didn't
show
that
the
to
the
city,
council
or
something
that
was
requested.
When
we
brought
this
to
the
city
council,
you
can
see
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
both
entities
can
do.
They
can
levy
against
revenue
streams.
They
can
create
tip
districts,
they
can
bond,
they
can
borrow.
H
H
One
of
the
things
that
the
hra
can't
can
do
that
the
port
can't
do
that.
Port
authorities
actually
could
do
until
the
statute
changed.
It
was
a
while
ago,
but
they
can
be
a
limited
liability
partner
in
housing
projects
which
allows
them
that
second
bullet
to
really
own
housing.
And
then
you
know,
obviously
the
hra
board
owns
various
types
of
housing.
H
The
the
situation
with
parking
facilities
is
a
little
bit
different
than
the
way
the
port
authority
statute
is
written
for
the
hra,
there's
no
bidding
required
for
parking
facilities
if
it's
tied
to
housing
and
then,
if
you
go
over
to
the
third
bullet
on
the
port
authority
side
in
the
blue,
there's
no
bidding
for
public
improvement,
there's
a
broader
definition
of
what
can
be
done
without
bidding.
If
a
project,
if
it
makes
sense
to
do
so,
public
improvements
include
parking
ramps
and
then
utilities,
and
things
like
that.
H
Sometimes
the
port
has
done
that
from
all
projects,
for
example,
when
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
go
out
for
separate
bids
if
a
parking
ramp
sits
underneath
another
project,
you
certainly
wouldn't
want
to
have
two
contractors
there
sometimes
there's
coordination.
That
is
impossible
to
do.
If
you
have
an
open
bid
environment
things
like
that.
So
that's
why
that
is
there
and
then
the
other
port
powers,
business
development,
commercial
development.
H
H
The
port's
powers
are
a
little
bit
more
business
focused
and
hra
power's
a
little
bit
more
housing
focused,
it's
not
to
say
the
hra
can't
do
a
mixed-use
project
that
has
commercial
and
it's
not
to
say
that
the
port
can't
do
a
strictly
housing
project,
but
that's
kind
of
how
the
statutes
line
up
in
broad
terms
with
the
port
hra
next
slide.
Please
so
going
along
with
the
prior
slide
that
erica
showed
really
related
to
relative
to
what
report
currently
does
and
what's
proposed
to
do
with
the
recommendations
in
red.
H
Currently,
they
focus
the
port
authority,
focuses
on
development
and
self-loop,
which
is
65
percent
of
bloomington's
project
projected
development,
at
least
based
on
some
studies
that
we
did
a
number
of
years
ago,
and-
and
I
think
it's
probably
due
for
a
recheck
on
that-
because
there
has
been
a
fair
amount
of
development
both
in
self
loop
and
out
to
make
sure
that
that
back
or
should
I
say,
figure
is
still
accurate.
We
do
commercial
and
multi-family
development.
H
It's
also
the
port
authority
can
operate
anywhere
in
the
city,
it's
not
limited
to
operating
in
south
loop.
It's
just
that's
where
the
funding
has
existed
in
south
group
through
tiff
and
some
other
funding
sources
that
can
do
business,
that
we
do
business
development
and
large
business,
usually
in
the
form
of
a
real
estate
expansion,
small
business.
H
Making
itself
hope.
We're
proposing
to
do
is
to
expand
that
development
to
city
wide
focus
on
the
commercial
nodes
that
are
being
underserved
across
the
rest
of
the
city.
One
of
the
key
things
here
is:
it
would
be
a
one-stop
shop
for
subsidized
development,
so
we
make
a
point
here
on
it's.
This
is
subsidized
stuff,
so
project
comes
in
anywhere
in
town,
doesn't
need
a
subsidy
to
move
forward.
H
I
I
I
I
So
again,
since
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance
has
been
adopted
in
2019,
you
can
see
the
impact
it's
had
on
housing
production
in
bloomington.
These
are
actual
units
that
opened
in
a
given
year
and
in
yellow
on
these
bar
charts.
Those
are
affordable
units
that
opened
in
that
year
and
you
can
see
the
dramatic
difference
since
2019
on
affordable
housing,
production
and
housing
production
in
general
versus
before
2019.
I
I
We
are
77
percent
of
the
way
towards
accomplishing
that
goal.
At
least,
if
you
look
at
the
total
unit
numbers,
if
you
break
it
down
by
income
bans,
it
does
a
little
bit
of
a
different
story:
60
percent
ami
income
band.
You
know
we're
well
ahead
of
the
goal:
50
ami,
very
good
progress
well
towards
accomplishing
the
goal,
but,
of
course
the
30
ami
band
is
the
hardest
to
accomplish,
and
this
is
where
we
have
the
most
opportunity
going
forward
to
strengthen
our
programs.
I
I
So
the
recommendation
of
the
assessment
is
to
fill
the
open
position
that's
currently
in
place.
We
feel,
like
that's,
a
very
important
position
and
will
help
to
keep
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance
moving
forward
well
into
the
future.
Definitely
that
position
is
very
much
the
face
of
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
so
recognizing
that
it
crosses
multiple
divisions.
G
G
D
G
D
G
D
G
D
J
Thank
you,
chair
lewis.
My
question
is
regarding
that
oho
position
specifically
to
start,
I
see
50
to
the
port,
yet
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
on
how
that
role
is
going
to
work
out,
because
right
now
the
oho
I
know
is
not
directed
it's
run
with
multiple
organizations.
Obviously,
and
it's
going
to
continue
running
that
way,
but
as
a
board
that
helped
and
basically
did
create
that
oho.
G
Absolutely
thank
you
for
that,
commissioner
huhim.
So
what
I
do
want
to
add
is
that
going
back
the
analyst
hra
analyst
position,
which
filled
the
oho
coordination
duties,
was
strictly
in
the
hra
and
had
to
figure
out
with
the
hra
funding
that
position
100
how
to
try
and
navigate
with
the
port,
legal
planning
and
other
divisions
and
departments
of
the
city.
G
G
We
can
give
ourselves
a
little
bit
of
grace,
so
we're
coming
back
to
looking
at
that.
So
what
I
want
to
highlight
for
this
position,
because
I
hear
your
point-
and
I
appreciate
that-
is
that
this
is
making
it
clear
that
this
is
a
cross-division
position,
that
you
have
to
work
with
and
need
the
other
divisions
to
get
the
work
done.
G
So
the
current
staff
of
the
hra
were
not
actually
involved
in
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance
to
that
extent,
but
nothing
against
that,
because
the
impacts
that
are
felt
that
staff
are
working
on
are
the
increases
to
portability.
For
our
section,
eight
are
the
increases
to
the
opportunities
for
services
as
well,
as
I
don't
say,
oddly,
but
the
increases
into
some
people
being
able
to
buy
homes
and
move
off
of
getting
that
assistance.
G
So
this
breakdown
of
time
also
accounts
for
we
had
a
hra
analyst
position
that
we
funded
at
100
and
we
had
20
of
an
economic
development
analyst
on
top
of
that
outside
consultants,
and
so
this
proposal
is
taking
all
of
that
into
consideration
and
really
looking
at
where
the
work
is
and
how
that
time
should
be
allocated.
And
this
also
has
a
budgetary
impact
for
the
hra
to
truly
look
at
operational
efficiency
and
fiscal
responsibility.
B
B
Based
on
the
number
of
20
or
under
projects
in
the
past,
what
can
we
realistically
expect
to
be
to
see
in
the
future?
I
think
I
watched
the
the
city
council
meeting
glenn
and
I
think
you
said
you
knew
for
sure
there
was
one
previously
so
looking
at
the
future
saying:
okay,
the
hra
is
now
going
to
address
the
middle.
How
do
we
address
the
middle?
What
does
the
board
do
in
the
past
we've
had
developers
come
to
us.
B
I
I
G
You
glenn
thank
you,
chair
lewis,
for
that
question.
So
one
thing
I
want
to
tie
it
to
is
prior
to
2019
and
the
passes
of
the
oho
didn't
have
a
lot
of
multi-family
development
and
the
passage
of
the
oho
meant
that
we
focused
and
were
intentional
and
put
resources
behind,
focusing
on
getting
developers
into
bloomington
for
multi-family
development
and
including
affordable
components.
What
I
am
proposing
is
that
we
are
intentional
and
we
focus
on
getting
developers
into
bloomington
that
want
to
do
affordable
home
ownership
and
rental
that
are
40
20
units
or
less
that's.
G
Thank
you
for
the
follow-up,
so
one
I
want
to
start
with
that.
How
we
do
that
is
this
board
does
approve
every
single
year.
The
recommendation
for
walt
west
hennepin,
affordable
housing,
land
trust,
we're
doing
two
single
family
homes
a
year
under
that
this
board
does
approve
our
acquisition
and
disposition
of
a
land
where
we
do
our
blighted
homes
program
where
we
do
purchase
dilapidated
properties
and
raise
and
remove
them
and
then
sell
that
land
for
a
for
homeownership
creation.
G
This
board
also
does
approve
our
work
with
single
fam,
non-profit,
single
family
development,
habitat
for
humanity,
macv
ppl
projects
right
now
that
the
hra
still
works
on
follows
back
up
on,
because
we
have
that
record.
So
how
I'm
proposing
that
we
do,
that
is
one.
We
make
it
clear
that
it's
our
focus
and
we
bring
those
groups
back
together
and
we
communicate
with
them
the
same
way.
We
did
with
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
and
some
of
the
developers
that
are
doing
multi-family
do
do
smaller
projects.
G
So
that's
one
way
to
start
out
is
to
have
the
game
plan
of
saying
we
are
intentional
about
this.
This
is
our
focus.
This
aligns
with
our
strategic
plan,
our
city
goals
and
our
priorities
and
here's
the
numbers
and
the
needs
as
we
have
identified
them.
Another
thing
that
is
an
opportunity
is
met
council
again
when
I
came
forward
and
started
a
couple
of
years
ago.
I
remember
having
a
discussion
with
you
all
saying:
why
do
we
bear
it
all
by
ourselves?
There's
other
opportunities
for
help
for
funding
coordination.
G
Collaboration
met
council
is
actually
rolling
out
a
pilot
program
for
affordable
home
ownership
development
in
which
only
government
entities
hra
can
apply
for
that
funding
and
then
work
through
developers
to
achieve
those
developments
on
a
time
frame
that
the
met
council
has
identified.
This
is
my
game
plan.
B
J
Chair
I've
addressed
this
bef
already
and
I
want
to
address
it
publicly
as
well.
My
biggest
concern
in
question
is
the
amount
of
authority
we're
giving
one
authority
when
it
comes
to
a
board
approving
plans.
Things
like
that.
It's
it's
a
small
group
of
residents
with
two
council
members
and
I
just
get
very
concerned
on
the
separation
of
city-wide
development
going
just
through
one
board
authority.
J
J
We
offer
a
voice
that
the
port
does
not
offer.
We
offer
a
voice
that
has
specialized
in
affordable
housing
that
has
specialized
in
development.
Before
we
have
a
lot
of
experience,
we
have
people
who
are
applying
for
these
boards
based
on
their
experience
and
their
passions.
So
I
just
want
to
know
what
is
that
vote
and
what
is
that
voice
going
to
be
of
the
hra
going
forward,
because
I
I,
as
I've
addressed
before
I
have
a
I
have
an
accounting
brain.
G
G
As
your
administrator,
I
am
not
proposing
that
my
board
go
away.
This
is
a
part
of
my
position.
This
is
a
part
of
my
passion,
and
this
is
a
part
of
my
focus,
and
so
the
board
remains.
That's
why
we
are
still
expanding
the
board
to
increase
with
residents
and
or
applicants
that
reflect
the
community
in
which
we
are
serving
and
striving
to
serve.
So
I
will
say,
for
the
hra:
we
are
sticking
with
bringing
our
voice
forward
for
affordable
housing
development.
G
Also,
the
oho
requires
affordable
housing
in
developments,
at
least
nine
percent
of
the
homes
of
the
units
created,
affordable
at
60,
ami
or
below.
That
does
not
change,
and
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
the
hra
board's
voice
is
valued
and
still
included,
and
in
this
recommendation
that
I
have,
I
am
not
diminishing
or
limiting
the
hra's
voice.
B
B
Who
will
determine
the
criteria
for
when
a
joint
meeting
will
be
necessary
and
who
initiates
it
quite
honestly
does
support
determine
when
they
want
our
voice?
That's
you
know.
It's
like
joint
meetings
are
great,
but
I
want
to
know
how
it's
determined
when
there
is
an
affordable
housing
piece,
I
want
to
make
sure
they
come
back
to
us.
So
how
is
that
determined?
What
is
that
who
initiates
it
and
how
is
that
going
to
work.
G
That
position
who
was
the
face
of
the
oho,
really
coordinated
that
and
brought
things
forward
to
the
hra
board,
as
well
as
other
boards
or
meetings
that
needed
to
be
so,
I
will
say
one
it'll
be
within
the
position
of
the
oho
coordinator,
which
again
is
why
that
position
is
broken
over
divisions.
So
what
does
that
mean
that
that's
also
your
staff
member
right
so
broken
out
over
divisions?
That's
also
your
staff
member
also
it'll,
be
on
an
as
needed
basis.
As
we
are
building
this
we
are
looking
at.
What
does
that
mean?
G
So
we
are
going
to
continue
that
and
I
would
still
be
the
staff
that
participates
in
that
or
I
would
assign
a
staff
member
of
the
hra,
which
is
under
the
duties
that
I
have
so
again.
You
would
have
the
representation,
you
would
have
the
voice
and
it
would
be
the
ohl
coordination
position
that
would
bring
things
forward
because
the
oho
again
requires
affordable
component.
D
Something
mentioned
earlier
in
the
presentation.
I
believe
you
answered
it
later
in
the
presentation,
but
something
mentioned,
but
I
just
want
to
clarify
something
mentioned
earlier
in
the
in
the
presentation
had
to
do
with
multi-family
development
financing,
falling
kind
of
jointly
under
the
hra
and
port
authority,
and
I'm
wondering
why
is
is
that,
because
the
hra
has
some
kind
of
unique
tools
that
the
port
doesn't
or
is
or
is
it
that's
a
main
question,
in
other
words,
that
overlap
of
authority
and
legal
abilities.
G
Thank
you,
commissioner,
so
I
will
say
the
we're
the
hra
we
are
unique,
but,
aside
from
that,
yes
and
what
that
means
is
for
one,
the
affordable,
housing
trust
fund
revolving
loan
fund.
The
hra
actually
does
take
the
loan
out
from
the
city
who
issues
the
bonds
and
then
the
hra
loans
it
to
the
developer.
G
That
is
a
unique
position.
We
would
keep
that
the
hra
has
the
development
fund
that
we
have
grown
some
and
used
some
over
time
that
we
could
use
some
of
that
development
fund
for
different
projects
as
well
as
the
noaa
fund.
The
noaa
fund
is
something
separate
that
the
hra
has
put
a
little
money
in
every
single
year.
We
also
use
that
noaa
fund
just
a
little
bit
of
it
to
help
with
blooming
metals
the
preservation.
G
So
again
we
have
in
this
venn
diagram.
We
have
some
of
the
same
powers,
but
because
of
the
work
that
the
hra
has
done,
and
what
we're
building
off
of,
we
would
still
have
opportunities
and
access
to
a
couple
of
different
funding
streams
in
multi-family
development
finance
that
we
have
access
to.
Now
that
we
use
now
and
we
would
continue
to
use.
D
And
chair
lewis,
a
follow-up
to
that.
I
I
one
of
the
reasons
I
ask
is
as
a
board
and
given
the
responsibilities
we
have
the
fiduciary
responsibilities.
Is
it
possible
we
could
be
asked
to
utilize.
Some
of
those
tools
prove
some
type
of
financing
without
really
having
been
involved
in
the
process
prior
that
takes
place
where
we
normally
today
would
be
involved
as
a
development
moves
forward
and
have
great
knowledge
about
that
development.
D
And
what
I,
what
I
hope
we
won't
see,
is
something
going
on
elsewhere
under
another
board,
and
then
we
are
asked
to
use
one
of
our
tools:
that's
unique
to
us
to
fund
a
project
that
we
really
are
responsible
to
the
to
the
citizens
of
bloomington,
and
we
really
don't
know
much
about
it.
Somebody's
just
saying
you
know
open
up
your
wallet
and
give
us
your
money,
so
that
was
that
was
a
big
question
I
had,
and
I
would
and
then
I
have
a
follow-up
to
that.
But
if,
if.
G
I
do
sponsor
that.
Thank
you,
commissioner
thorson.
So
I
will
go
back
to
the
ohl
coordination
position
even
right
now
we
don't
bring
things
forward.
That
just
says:
hey
can
we
fund
this
and
we
don't
know
anything
about
that.
We
would
not
start
a
new
practice
of
bringing
things
forward
to
ask
for
funding
that
we
don't
know
anything
about
the
ohl
coordination
position.
That
is
a
part
of
bringing
information
forward,
whether
it's
an
update
just
like
we
had
the
update
about
developments
and
where
we
saw
all
the
developments
across
the
city.
G
But
there
were
developments.
We
were
not
asked
to
fund
because
anything
that
we
are
asked
to
provide
any
type
of
support
or
subsidy
to.
We
have
the
information
brought
forward
for
this
board
to
review
and
to
make
an
informed
recommendation.
So
no
I,
as
your
administrator,
I'm
not
proposing
that
because
again,
operational
efficiency
and
fiscal
responsibility.
F
May
I
because
I
wanted
to
add
thank
you
for
that
answer.
One
of
the
things
that
became
clear
as
we
were
going
through
this
process
is
we
started
to
talk
about?
How
do
we
play
to
our
strengths
right?
So
we
can
look
at
the
south
loop
area
and
we
can
see
all
the
development
happening
and
we
were
like
okay,
that's
happening
over
here.
Meanwhile,
probably
because
the
pandemic
helped
kind
of
magnify
the
disparities
we
were
seeing.
F
We
staff,
along
with
city
council,
said
when
we
get
these
arpa
dollars.
We
need
to
put
them
towards
services
for
people
experiencing
homelessness.
We
need
to
put
them
towards
a
down
payment
assistant,
that's
not
development,
so
to
speak,
but
it
and
it's
working
I
mean
we
have
stories.
We
can
share
administrator
coleman,
stop
the
rehab
program
because
she
saw
some
challenges
and
disparities.
F
Now
we
have
success
stories
that
those
funds
are
getting
to
the
citizens
of
bloomington.
That
actually
need
it
not
to
say
I'm
not
trying
to
say
it
wasn't
happening
before,
but
in
a
very
specific
way,
because
what
triggered
that
was
an
application,
quite
frankly
that
for
administrator
coleman
had
a
lot
of
red
flags,
but
it
met
all
the
criteria,
and
we
could
talk
about
that
offline.
F
But
the
last
thing
I
want
to
point
out
is
we're
going
to
go
into
closed
session.
To
talk
about
the
exact
question,
you
asked
we're
going
to
propose
something
that
we
believe
will
help
development,
utilizing,
hra
funds
and
we
are
going
to
have
jason
smith
talk
about
what
that
is,
we're
not
bringing
it
to
you.
We
we
have
a
move
forward
that
we
haven't
done
anything
with
it,
because
those
are
your
resources,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
will
not
change.
We
will
be
coming
before
this
commission.
F
H
H
H
Again,
if
it's
got,
you
know
housing,
focus
or
hra
funding
in
it.
We
would
do
that
the
same
way.
We
would
bring
a
term
sheet
to
you,
along
with
the
port
authority,
preferably
in
a
concurrent
meeting.
But
if
the
scheduling
didn't
work
out,
it
would
just
be
in
separate
meetings
but
again
we're
talking
about
concurrent
meetings
as
the
ideal
right
now
and
then
sometimes
we
come
into
an
interim
step
with
refinements
to
the
term
sheet
based
on
comments
or
discussions
about
certain
agreements,
sometimes
they're,
phased
and
then.
H
D
Proceed
to
the
other
kind
of
related
question:
how
did
the
number
of
20?
How
did
you
come
up
with
that?
Because
part
of
me
is
thinking
that,
if
we're
going
to
really
make
this
transition
in
a
way,
20
might
be
too
high,
and
I'm
sitting
here
in
my
mind
kind
of
thinking-
and
I
know
that
that
that
feeling
might
not
be
shared
but,
as
I
just
tried
to
think
about,
how
did
the
number
20
come
up
with?
G
Thank
you,
commissioner,
thorson.
So
because
I
like
live,
breathe,
eat
housing.
I
came
up
with
the
number.
That
really
is
the
missing
middle
missing
middle
is
usually
40
20.,
it's
it's
in!
It's
the
missing
middle.
We
talk
about.
You
know
a
single
family
home,
a
duplex,
or
we
talk
about
80
units
or
more
it's
that
missing
middle.
So
I
don't
want
you
to
get
stuck
on
the
number,
but
the
number
came
directly
from
me
as
the
administrator,
where
I
was
trying
to
quantify.
G
D
And
as
a
follow-up
to
that,
can
you
envision
circumstances
where
there
might
be
a
development,
that's
larger
that
appears
to
be
a
better
fit
for
hra
or
a
development.
That's
smaller!
That
might
be
a
better
fit
for
port,
and
I
mean:
is
this
20
a
very
strict
number?
It's
21.
It
goes
to
the
port
and
if
18
it
comes
or
are
we
looking
at
each
one
and
saying
well,
this
is
really.
D
This
really
seems
more
like
a
hra
development,
because
this
that
and
the
other
thing,
so
maybe
we
have
a
neighborhood
of
micro
homes
right
that
is
strictly
housing
and
it
meets
affordable
goals
and
housing
goals
in
a
big
way
and
it's
30
units.
But
is
it
really
a
poor
thing?
So
I
don't
know
if
I
make
my
question
clear,
but
is
it
a
strict
number
or
are
we
going
to
utilize
the
strengths
of
each
board
on
when
we
start
to
hit
those
kind
of
numbers.
G
G
K
Generally
and
getting
to
commissioner
ferguson's
point
a
little
bit
about
kind
of
when
we're
going
to
expect
to
see
projects
coming
through
and
what
falls
where
I
guess,
how
are
we
envisioning?
I
know
obviously,
council
and
city.
Well,
we've
got
this
huge
five-year
strategic
plan.
That's
just
coming
together
we're
putting
meat
on
those
bones.
Are
we
going
to
need
to
substantially
re-envision?
K
G
J
Just
one
other
question
that
I
kind
of
got
thinking
about
with
this.
You
know
I
think
of
lindale
retrofit
and,
I
think
of
mixed,
I
think,
a
commercial
and
I
think,
of
housing
together.
How
does
that
work
like?
How
are
we?
How
are
we
going
to
envision
that?
Because
I
can
see
that
being
smaller
housing
opportunities,
but
possibly
mixing
some
commercial
development
in
with
that,
since
it
is
such
a
major,
thorough
way
in
the
city?
So
how
does
that
kind
of
look
with
the
like?
I'm
I'm
guessing,
but
I'd
like.
F
So,
thank
you,
commissioner
huhim.
I
think
the
point
of
playing
to
your
strengths,
I'm
glad
you
picked
up
on
that
is
one
here
just
because
it's
not
like,
because
the
poor
staff,
the
busi
the
development
analysts,
will
be
paid,
hopefully
by
the
port
levy.
They
can
do
work
outside
of
south
loop.
So
if
there
is
a
project
on
lindell
avenue
and
it
involves
housing
and,
let's
say
the
hras-
this
is
what's
so
great
like
they
can
go
over
and
say:
okay,
erica
can
pull.
F
We
we
are
in
one
department
erica
calls:
it
manager
row
we're
like
we're
right
there.
Our
offices
are
right
next
to
each
other,
there's
no
barriers,
and
so
and
that's
really
what
we
want
to
create
is
I
need
this
resource.
I
know
this
person
can
come
on
this
project
and
help
get
this
over
the
finish
line,
whether
it's
in
the
poor
planning
or
wherever.
I'm
going
to
pull
from
that.
F
F
We
are
one,
I
always
say
we
are
one
team.
We
are
team
bloomington
and
we
need
to
act
like
that
right.
So
I
always
tell
eric
hunter
we're
not
in
competition
with
each
other,
we're
here
to
advance
the
goals,
strategic
goals
of
the
city
council
and
our
wars
and
commissions,
and
so
I
I
know
it's
hard
to
you
know
because,
like
we
had
to
have
a
number
20
or
somebody
would
have
said
well,
what's
the
cutoff
number,
what
is
the
hra
you
know?
Is
it
going
to
be
25?
F
F
It
doesn't
matter
for
me
if
it's
the
hra
port
or
you
know
one
of
our
commissioners
come
on
like
let's
get
this
thing
redeveloped,
but
we
have
to
have
a
funding
stream.
We
have
to
have.
You
know
like
some
of
this.
Just
has
to
be
paid
for,
and
we
have
to
figure
out
how
to
get
creative
so
that
we
are
playing
to
our
strengths
and
that's,
I
would
say,
the
main
goal
of
tonight.
G
Yeah
and
building
off
of
that,
when
you
think
about
lindell
avenue
and
lindell
retrofit
so
lindell
avenue
retrofit,
I
came
in
while
that
was
at
the
tail
and
bark
wolf
with
special
projects
and
initiatives
really
worked
on
that
julie,
farnham
and
planning
really
worked
on
that.
But
what
I
will
say
what
I
noticed
from
that
plan
was:
you
have
a
swath
of
land
that
could
be
town
halls
and
somebody
needs
to
be
dedicated
to
working
through
the
encumbrances
and
the
requirements
to
free
that
land
up
to
produce
town
homes.
G
J
J
So
I
do
appreciate
that
part
of
this
greatly,
because,
obviously
I
know
south
loop
is
considered
east
side.
But,
let's
you
know,
that's
that's
its
own
little
world.
Really,
when
we're
really
looking
at
bloomington
is,
is
we
want
to
be
one
bloomington,
but
we're
definitely
not
there
yet,
and
so
I
do
have
the
hope
that
this
might
get
us
started
there.
So.
B
G
D
G
G
What
I,
what
I
am
proposing,
that
our
clients,
who
I
won't
do
that
I
was
going
to
talk
about
rent
assistance.
Let's
talk
about
energy
improvements,
home
improvement,
loans,
clients
that
are
approved
for
those
types
of
programs,
because
it
is
by
a
government
entity,
are
now
eligible
for
other
opportunities,
whether
it
be
at
the
local
level
at
county,
whether
it
be
at
the
state
level,
whether
it
be
at
the
federal
level,
they
are
now
eligible
to
apply
for
those
things
what's
happening
now.
G
Just
today
somebody
came
in
who
receives
assist
rental
assistance
and
said:
where
do
I
go
to
apply
for
food
stamps
and
we're
scrambling
one?
We
shouldn't
be
scrambling,
but
with
the
pandemic
and
trying
to
figure
everything
out,
things
have
shut
down,
but
two.
What
would
it
look
like
to
truly
serve
bloomington
residents
to
have
whether
it
be
a
computer,
whether
it
be
a
hennepin
county
representative,
like
the
open
to
business,
hennepin
county,
comes
to
civic
plaza
and
holds
a
room
for
people
bloomington
business
owners
to
come
and
talk
to
them?
G
What
would
it
look
like
to
expound
on
that?
So
that's
what
I'm
actually
referencing
and
under
this
service
coordination
collaboration.
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
reason.
Public
health
sustainability
and
human
rights
are
all
there
is
because
they
all
are
actually
working
on
pieces
of
housing
where
they're
like
hey
hra.
How
can
we
and
I'm
like?
Oh,
we
need
to.
We
need
to
collaborate
and
coordinate
a
lot
better
on
this.
If
public
health
is
providing
a
survey
that
asks
about
what
are
the
housing
issues,
we
would
like
to
be
on
board
with
that
right.
G
So
there
are
things
like
that
that
I'm
proposing.
So
I
want
to
be
clear,
not
proposing
duplicating
services,
I'm
saying
allowing
for
the
opportunity
to
centralize
the
resource
to
apply
for
the
resource
to
know
about
the
resource
which,
I
would
have
to
say,
is
over
half
the
battle.
Not
to
sound
like
gi
joe,
but
it's
half
the
battle,
they
don't
know
what
they
can
apply
for
and
where
they
can
apply
for
it
at
that's.
What
I'm
saying.
G
D
D
So
to
me
I
mean
again
my
one
concern
would
just
be
that
our
that
our
staff,
because
I
can
see
that
being
a
pretty
overwhelming
process.
It
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
hand
holding
and
so
again
drawing
away
from
our
primary
mission
and
goals.
So
I
would
just
point
that
out
as
a
potential
concern-
and
I
do
know
that
for
a
while-
I
worked
at
creekside
part-time.
D
In
addition,
my
full-time
position
and
I
believe
they
had
county
representatives
that
were
housed
there
and
so
that-
and
I
think
it
went
beyond
the
seniors
he
tended
to
utilize
the
building.
But
I
always
felt
like
that
was
kind
of
a
great
thing,
because
I
know
it's
kind
of
hard
for
people
to
get
down
to
the
county
and
speak
with
people,
and
I
might
think
that
a
model
like
that
could
could
work
pretty.
Well
as
if
we
had
space
for
someone
like
that.
D
D
F
Because
if
anybody
who
has
worked
with
me
since
march
of
last
year
knows
that
small
business,
local
entrepreneurship
is
what
I
breathe
and
I
talk
about,
chick-fil-a
is
going
to
be
good.
The
mall
water
park
will
be
fine,
but
how
do
we
get
some
local
vendors
in
there
right?
How
do
we
get
local
construction
companies
in
there
to
build
this?
The
expo
is
another
example,
and
so
trust
me
when
I
say
that
we
are
not
proposing
this
to
then
take
double
the
staff
of
the
port
and
work
only
in
south
loop.
F
I
don't
I
mean
I
could
not
stand
here
next
year
be
before
this
commission
before
the
city
council.
If
everybody
just
was
working
in
south
florida,
because
I
mean
our
name
is
on
this
right-
we're
recommending,
which
is
why
we
are
all
standing
here
together,
because
we
believe
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to.
D
B
You
are
there
any
other
questions
all
right.
Well,
I
want
to
thank
you,
for
there
was
a
lot
of
clarification
tonight
and
it
was
very
helpful.
I
really
appreciate
that
and
hearing
that
we
have
no
further
questions.
I
would
be
looking
for
a
motion
to
support
the
administrator's
recommendations
as
presented.
D
D
I
have
over
the
far
too
many
years
I've
been
on
this
board.
I
have
often
brought
up
and
talked
extensively
with
the
previous
administrator
about
whether
it
was
finally
time
for
us
to
either
us
as
a
city
either
via
the
hra
is
to
create
an
eda
or
just
just
get
more
active
and
proactive
in
redevelopment
and
small
business
and
so
forth,
and
you
know
I
think,
the
previous
administrator
kind
of
floated
it
up
the
pole
a
little
bit.
You
know
the
idea
as
a
time
it
didn't
fly.
D
D
So
I
like
the
fact
that
we
are
moving
more
towards
I'll
call
it
an
eda
model,
but
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
where
it
is
more
comprehensive
and
it's
city-wide
and
it
includes
small
businesses,
and
so
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
potential
here
and
I
think
it's
a
lot
of
potential
to
leverage
our
the
financial
resources
of
the
city
and
the
staff
to
make
some
of
those
things
happen.
So
there
again,
I
I
would
make
that
motion
again
with
the
concerns
that
we
all
have
in
these
kinds
of
changes.
E
B
J
K
I
thank
you
very
much.
I
I
won't
repeat
all
of
what's
been
said
and
thank
you
for
the
the
thoughtful
work
on
this.
This
is
a
whole
lot
of
moving
pieces
to
go
from
a
pile
to
a
really
cool
engine,
so
I'm
excited
to
see
that
and
and
for
just
to
reiterate
something
that
we
touched
on
earlier
and
for
the
the
several
of
people
that
are
watching
at
home,
probably
chair.
K
You,
you
mentioned
earlier
kind
of
the
number
of
these
missing
metal
projects
that
we've
seen
previously,
something
I'm
most
proud
of
in
my
time
on
council
so
far
was
getting
to
pass
the
work
that
this
body
did
with
the
oho
and
watch
that
take
off
like
a
rocket
ship
and
the
number
of
communities
around
the
country.
We
have
come
to
us
and
say
how
did
you
crack
that
nut?
K
That's
amazing,
but
on
the
back
side
of
that
now
it
really
to
underscore
now
landing
in
this
body's
lap
again
is
figuring
out
missing
middle
housing,
which
is
perhaps
even
a
bigger
driver
of
this
housing
crisis.
The
country
has
right
now,
so
I
I
think
again
ongoing
communication
with
the
port
authority,
but
also
with
council,
because
this
is
a
herculean
undertaking
that
we're
going
to
be
asking
everybody
to
do
and
what
kind
of
support
and
resourcing
is
that
going
to
need
moving
forward.
K
E
B
B
You
it
has
been
moved
by
commissioner,
who
came
with
the
second
by
commissioner
thorson,
to
approve
the
resolution
directing
the
closure
of
a
public
meeting
of
the
housing
and
redevelopment
authority
in
and
for
the
city
of
bloomington,
all
those
in
favor
signify.
By
saying
I
I
I
opposed
motion
passes
four
to
zero.
