July 19, 2022 Bloomington Minnesota Port Authority Meeting
A
A
A
C
A
Well,
we've
got:
we've
got
a
fairly
long
agenda
today,
and
this
is
unfortunately
also
our
last
meeting
that
we're
going
to
have
with
shane
here
so
we'll
have
to
reserve
some
time
at
the
end
so
that
we
can
appropriately
thank
him
or
roast
him
or
do
something
at
any
rate.
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
approval
minutes
for
june
2nd
2022
in
your
package.
That
would
entertain
a
motion.
Further
approval.
A
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
commissioners,
all
right,
I'm
ready
for
this
all
night,
like
this
just
kidding.
No.
Thank
you.
Mr
president,
commissioners,
today
we're
here
to
present
the
hra,
which
started
as
an
hra
assessment
and
evolved
into
an
assessment
of
the
port
authority
in
part
as
well
as
it
relates
to
the
creation
of
an
eda
which
again
then
morphed
into
an
assessment
of
the
of
the
port
authority
as
well.
A
D
D
F
Testing
yep
all
right
good
evening,
president
and
commissioners
of
the
port
authority.
Thank
you
shane
for
that
introduction,
so
we're
here
tonight
to
discuss
development
activities
within
the
city
of
bloomington,
particularly
within
the
community
development
department.
We
believe
that
our
department
strives
to
provide
professional,
prompt
and
predictable
service.
F
F
We
sincerely
believe
that
what
we
are
proposing
aligns
with
our
mission
of
cultivating
an
enduring
and
remarkable
community
where
people
want
to
be.
It
also
aligns
with
our
core
values
that
transformation
will
come
through
collective
courage
and
the
willingness
to
take
risk
and
everyone
benefits
when
there
is
equitable
access
to
opportunity
before.
F
Excellent
and
so
shane
did
introduce
the
team.
I
did
want
to
add
that
when
we
did
take
this
current
proposal,
we
have
tweaked
this
since
we
presented
before
city
council
because
they
were
sharp
in
a
lot
of
the
questions
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
addressed
the
questions
that
they
had
and
when
we
did
take
this
presentation
last
week
to
the
hra.
F
G
So
in
march
of
2021,
I
brought
forward
recommendations
to
the
hra
board.
The
atria
board
did
pass
a
strategic
plan
that
strategic
plan
was
adopted
to
align
with
the
city's
strategic
priorities
and
identifies
work
along
the
whole
housing
continuum
from
uns
from
outside
unsheltered,
homelessness
to
market
rate
homes
and
everything
in
between,
with
a
focus
on
operational
efficiency.
G
G
G
In
addition
to
this,
there
is
a
vacant
position
of
the
hra
analyst
that
left
a
gap
in
redevelopment
and
economic
development
work
throughout
the
city
that
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance,
involves
multiple
divisions.
Yet
it
is
not
held
in
any
primary
division
that
public
assistance
is
absorbed
by
the
city
and
hra,
and
not
the
development
community.
G
This
means
that
the
atria
focus
on
housing
projects
about
20
units
or
less.
The
number
is
not
just
a
precise
number.
It
can
change.
The
focus
here
is
missing:
middle
housing,
then,
to
consolidate
the
majority
of
multi-family
and
commercial
redevelopment
and
business
and
economic
development
into
the
port
authority,
and
so
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
hra
is
that
the
atria
is
statutorily
created
with
the
direct
charges
of
providing
supply,
providing
a
sufficient
supply
of
adequate,
safe
and
sanitary
dwellings
to
protect
the
health,
safety,
morals
and
welfare
of
the
city's
citizens
of
bloomington.
G
And
so
I've
mentioned
the
housing
continuum.
And
so
I'd
like
to
show
this
this
visual
to
see
what
the
housing
continuum
is
and,
as
you
can
see,
homelessness,
emergency
shelter,
transitional
housing,
community
housing,
affordable
rental,
affordable
home
ownership,
market
value,
rental
and
market
value
homes.
The
hra
literally
has
programs
that
work
along
every
last
area
of
this
continuum,
and
so
what
I'm
proposing
is
that
we
continue
to
work
along
every
last
area
of
this
continuum.
But
we
play
up
to
our
strengths
as
a
housing
redevelopment
authority
of
focusing
on
the
people
within
the
built
environment.
G
To
expound
on
that,
what
I
mean
by
that
is
in
each
area,
there
would
be
either
an
expansion
and
or
new
things
added,
so
in
homelessness,
housing
instability,
which
is
the
first
few
sections
of
that
continuum.
We
would
expand
our
navigation
services
and
outreach
and
we
would
expand
a
house
housing
needs.
Housing
needs
is
very
broad
for
people
of
all
different
walks
of
life
along
the
spectrum
of
homelessness
and
housing,
instability
under
affordable
rental.
G
We
would
keep
everything
the
way
we
have
it
with
support
and
or
recommendations
in
the
multi-family
development
finance,
but
we
would
add
concurrent
port
and
hra
meetings
on
a
as
needed
basis
in
affordable
home
ownership.
We
currently
do
rental
homes
for
future
home
buyers,
which
is
a
path
to
home
ownership,
a
program
with
land,
trust
and
non-profit
single
family
development,
which
we
would
be
looking
to
expand.
G
As
I
talk
about
more
focus
on
that
housing
continuum
and
the
strengths
of
the
hra,
the
market
value
home
and
preservation
items,
we
will
continue
with
our
very
successful
home
improvement
loan
programs,
our
biennial
housing,
fair.
We
would
expand
on
energy
improvements.
This
is
definitely
a
priority
of
city
leadership
of
all
our
boards
and
commissions
energy
sustainability.
G
G
D
D
B
G
Thank
you
and
then
lastly,
on
this
slide
is
service
coordination
and
collaboration.
This
is
actually
a
pretty
big
deal.
Housing,
I
say,
is
a
cause
and
an
effect.
Therefore,
housing
spans
every
last
sector,
so
public
health,
sustainability
and
human
rights
are
actually
all
boards
and
or
commissions
that
have
a
piece
or
role
in
some
aspects
of
housing.
G
Public
health,
our
largest
program
in
the
hra,
is
administering
housing
choice,
voucher,
those
are
low
to
moderate
income
households.
Therefore,
they
are
eligible
for
a
lot
of
other
things
and
assistance
and
services
that
public
health
actually
offers
and
or
works
with.
This
allows
us
to
work
closer
with
our
colleagues
as
one
bloomington,
and
it
makes
it
easier
for
our
residents
to
have
one
source
of
being
able
to
get
information
and
get
the
services
that
they
need.
So
that's
just
an
example
of
what
service
coordination
and
collaboration
would
be
and
including
that
and
expounding
upon
it.
G
So,
what's
the
hra
board's
role?
Well,
the
hra's
board
board
role
will
be
the
same
as
it
is
today
as
what
I
am
proposing
that
they
would
approve
distributions
from
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
the
hra
development
fund
and
the
hra
noaa
fund
that
they
continue
approval
and
oversight
of
hra
programs.
They
continue
approval
and
oversight
of
the
hra
budget.
G
D
Thank
you
erica.
Thank
you,
president,
commissioner.
So
a
little
bit
about
the
port
authority.
I
know
this
board
knows
a
lot
about
this
already
so
I'll
go
through
this
briefly,
but
the
port
authority
statutes
are
a
bit
older
and
a
little
bit
slightly
outdated
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
other
statutes
and
as
I've
learned,
a
lot
of
the
statutes
aren't
written
as
perfectly
as
they
maybe
should
be.
D
So
it's
kind
of
a
decision
point
for
the
you
know
for
how
the
community
development
department
wants
to
staff
these
functions.
Do
we
fill
those
positions
in
the
hra
and
leave
that
work
city-wide
where
it
was
or
do
we
consolidate
all
of
the
development
functions
city-wide
into
the
port
authority?
And
that's
what
this
group
is
recommending
and
to
the
council,
to
the
hra
and
to
the
port
authority
as
well?
D
There
would
be
two
new
ftes
that
aren't
funded
currently
today
and
those
would
come
from
a
shift
in
the
levy,
so
the
levy
for
the
hra
would
be
reduced
by
a
commensurate
amount.
That
the
port
authority
levy
would
be
turned
on
because
the
port
authority
has
the
levy
ability
but
has
never
done
that
to
date.
D
D
D
Again.
We
decrease
the
hra
levy
commensurate
with
an
increase
in
the
port
levy,
and
then
we
carve
out
200
000
a
year
out
of
that
port
levy
to
fund
in
part
citywide,
creative
placemaking,
that's
been
so
successful
in
south
lope
and
that's
part
of
what
the
council
and
residents
would
like
to
see.
City-Wide.
D
Mr
president,
commissioners,
president
erickson,
the
hra
levy
is
2.7,
ish
million
right
now
and
change.
Of
course,
these
numbers
float
around
a
little
bit
with
tax
capacity,
and
things
like
that.
The
hra
levy
has
a
percentage
of
the
tax
capacity
is
exactly
the
amount
that
the
port
authority
levy
could
be.
D
D
Mr
president,
commissioners,
yes,
that's
that's
right,
so
the
existing
staff
is
largely
funded
out
of
in
part,
the
self
loop
development
fund
for
some
pieces
and
then
all
of
the
admin
funds
that
come
off
the
mall,
tiff
and
bcs
tiff
accounts
and
a
little
bit
of
the
carlton
tiff
would
fund
those
positions
that
we
currently
have
today.
So
these
are
five
new
ftes
that
we
don't
currently
have
funded
in
the
port
with
these
two
brand
new
positions.
D
So
you
know
in
looking
at
this
there's
a
few
reasons.
You
know
internally
to
do
this
just
from
a
workflow
standpoint,
meaning
you
know
when
when
developers
come
in,
they
have
a
single
point
of
contact
now,
if
this
all
goes
through
instead
of
some
developers
going
to
the
hra
and
some
developers
coming
to
the
port
is
really
one
entity
that
then
controls
all
the
development.
D
I
D
So
here's
the
venn
diagram,
so
this
is
really
what
the
statutes
say
that
the
hra
can
do
and
what
the
port
can
do
and
there's
a
lot
of
it.
That's
that's
overlapped.
They
can
both
levy,
they
can
both
create
tif
districts.
They
can
bond
and
borrow
and
guarantee
financing
for
developments
through
their
levees
and
bonding
and
tiff,
and
things
like
that
they
can
both
do
housing.
They
can
both
do
mixed-use
development
and
they
can
both
own
parking
ramps
where
they,
where
they
differ,
is
hra
actually
has
a
power
that
the
port
doesn't
have.
D
Port
authorities
used
to
have
this
power,
but
then
it
was
carved
away.
They
can
be
an
owner
and
through
an
llp
in
housing
projects,
and
then
they
do
have
a
specific
statute
for
for
not
requiring
competitive,
competitive
bidding
on
facilities
if
it's
tied
to
housing,
if
you
flip
over
to
the
port
side,
the
third
bullet
there
there's
no
bidding
for
it,
which
is
a
broader
definition
of
public
improvements
and
so
the
port.
That's
that's
a
pretty
important
power
and
the
ports.
Powers
are
generally
focused
more
on
business,
development
and
commercial
development.
D
Again
they
can
both
do
housing
and
mixed
use,
and
it's
not
that
the
hra
can't
do
that
stuff.
But
it's
a
lot
cleaner
if
the
port
does
that
business
development,
commercial
development,
work,
mall
of
america,
projects
type
of
that
type
of
thing,
sick,
others,
and
so
that's-
how
the
statutes
lay
out
and
then
again
currently
what
the
the
port
is
doing.
D
I
know
this
board
knows
that
very
well,
so
I'm
not
going
to
not
going
to
read
that
what
we
put
in
red
here
is
the
proposed
changes,
and
so
they
would
do
development,
city-wide,
they'd
focus
on
the
commercial
nodes
that
are
that
are
you
know,
degrading
and
have
degraded
over
time,
90th
and
penn
old
shock
and
old
cedar
the
commercial
loads
on
the
west
side.
You
know
all
of
them
across
town,
again,
they'd
be
a
one-stop
shop
for
subsidized
development.
D
We
turn
those
into
implementing
those
more
a
facade
program
for
strip
centers
and
other
businesses
across
town
do
more
small
business
outreach
and
then
the
citywide
created
placemaking,
as
I
as
I
mentioned
before,
we'd
you
know,
200
000
is
is
a
lot
in
some
ways
and
in
some
ways
it's
not
a
lot.
The
city
council
could
decide
later
to
find
other
funding
for
citywide
credit
placemaking,
but
it
would
be
a
start
for
sure
on
doing
that,
work,
citywide
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
glimmer.
D
D
Mr
president,
commissioners,
I
think
that's
exactly
right.
I
mean
to
to
put-
I
was
gonna,
maybe
sum
this
up
at
the
end,
but
maybe
it's
a
good
time
to
just
do
that.
Now,
too,
I
mean
what
it
really
means
for
the
port
authority
is
more
agenda.
Items
right,
you're
going
to
see
stuff
from
across
the
city
instead
of
just
in
south
loop
you're
going
to
have
a
levy
so
there'll
be
those
functions
that
happen
as
part
of
the
cities.
D
Budget
process
recommend
a
levy
amount
things
like
that,
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
the
budget,
because
that
levy
will
flow
into
the
general
fund
budget
and
so
there'll
be
more
detail.
There.
You'll
have
more
staff
because
of
the
positions
added
and,
of
course,
the
more
work,
and
then
it
really
puts
a
highlight
on
something.
D
That's
been
on
our
work
plan
that
we
haven't
done
is
you
know,
creating
the
strategic
plan
and
vision
for
the
for
the
ports
work,
so
I
think
that'll
be
more
formalized,
and
that
would
happen
as
part
of
the
implementation
of
all
this.
But
that's
that's
really
what
it
means
in
a
nutshell,
more
agenda
items,
more
regular
meetings,
levy,
budget,
that
type
of
thing.
C
C
C
C
C
C
so
well
over
the
the
10-year
goal
in
that
short
time
period,
50
ami
units,
very
good
progress,
we're
still
below
our
10-year
goal
and
then
the
30
ami
units,
which
are
by
far
the
hardest
to
address.
That's
where
we
have
the
most
opportunity
to
continue
to
work
on
that.
You
you'll
see
that
we've
entitled
33
units
and
the
10-year
goal
is
445.
C
A
You
know
I'm
just
sitting
here
thinking
about
the
projects
that
the
hra
has
done
in
terms
of
housing
and
particularly
the
bigger
ones,
have
had
a
fair
amount
of
commercial
in
them.
I
mean
I'm
looking
at
the
project
you
know,
pin
and
what
is
it
82nd
or
well?
American
boulevard
runs
through
there
and
there's
a
grocery
store
there
and
there's
a
restaurant
there
and
there's.
So.
Is
that
part
of
your
rationale
for
for
doing
this,
because
you,
with
most
of
the
larger
projects,
you
actually
have
a
fair
amount
of
commercial
development
too.
G
Thank
you,
president
erickson
commissioners.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Yes,
because
how
it
has
previously
been
in
the
hra
prior
to
my
joining
the
city
is
that
those
projects
were
really
the
focus
and
the
project
of
the
administrator,
and
so
pin-american
has
taken
many
years
to
get
done
and
we
would
like
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
city
of
bloomington
and
the
residents
and
the
requests
of
the
city
council
and
the
boards
a
lot
quicker
than
five
to
seven
years
for
a
project.
D
So,
mr
president,
commissioners,
so
the
the
city
council
again
approved
these
or
recommended
that
we
go
forth
to
the
hra
and
the
port
authority
and
move
forward
with
these
recommendations,
get
the
opinions
of
the
hra
board
and
the
port
authority
board,
which
we're
doing
and
again
we'll
go
back
to
the
city
council
in
august
and
then
again
move
forward
with
with
the
work
to
do
the
levees.
If
the
if
the
court
board
tonight
recommends
moving
forward,
and
then
city
council
ultimately
has
that
decision
in
august.
D
So
again,
the
city
council
voted
unanimously
to
to
move
forward
with
these
recommendations.
Hra
board
did
a
week
ago.
Tonight
and
again,
this
is
this-
is
the
five
bullets
that
we're
asking
the
board
to
point
us
in
this
direction
and
we've
gone
through
these
in
detail,
but
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
more
detailed
questions.
But
it's
recommended
tonight
that
the
port
authority
board
motion
to
support
the
staff
recommendations.
As
listed
with
these
five
bullets,.
D
H
D
H
D
G
Thank
you
for
the
question,
commissioner.
So
I
will
say
every
board
and
or
council
has
asked
this
question,
and
so
that's
why
I'm
chuckling
just
a
little
bit,
because
I
come
from
housing
and
I
work
in
housing.
I
was
trying
to
focus
on
the
missing
middle
missing.
Middle
housing
would
be
town
homes
or
double
bungalows.
G
Four
plexes,
eight
plexes,
the
housing
that
you
don't
see
a
lot,
but
also
does
provide
for
a
higher
level
of
afford
option
for
affordability,
and
so
there's
a
need
that
as
the
hra,
we
need
to
be
able
to
focus
on
it.
So
you
can
actually
see
it,
and
so
I
put
20
to
quantify
missing
middle,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
be
20
units.
Usually
tax
credit
doesn't
step
in
until
it's
it's
at
least
60
units
or
more.
So
it's
really
just
looking
at
where
are?
G
Is
there
land
in
the
city
that
could
be
redeveloped
that
may
have
encumbrances
on
them
and
being
able
to
focus
on
that
and
provide
for
there
might
be
an
opportunity
to
do
three
units.
Three
units
is
better
than
that
vacant
land
sitting
there
and
people
didn't
have
housing.
So
that's
really
where
the
20
came
from
was
me
trying
to
quantify
and
give
you
an
idea
of
focusing
on
more
of
the
single
family
attached
housing
or
the
smaller
multi-family
housing.
A
So
let
me
ask
just
a
theoretical
question
then,
on
that,
let's
say
that
there
was
a
hundred
unit
apartment
unit
proposed
that
had
no
commercial
in
it.
But
it
was
something
that
you
needed
some
subsidy,
because
the
land
cost
or
you
wanted
to
get
down
to
the
30
percent
limit
or
something
is
that
something
then
that
the
hra
probably
would
take
the
lead
on
as
opposed
to
the
port
authority.
G
G
We
could
either
work
together
because
we
would
have
staff
that
are
shared
amongst
all
the
divisions
or
we
can
say
that
you'll
take
the
lead
port
authority
or
hra
you'll
take
the
lead.
However,
we
can
have
the
concurrent
meetings,
we
would
still
go
to
the
boards
and
we
would
just
work
together
as
one
bloomington.
D
Mr
president
and
commissioners,
the
port
authority
wouldn't
have
to
pull
the
hra
in
statutorily,
but
there's
certainly
a
desire
on
the
hra
board,
and
we
heard
that
loud
and
clear
last
week
that
the
hra
wants
to
be
involved,
but
there's
no
statutory
reason
that
you
would
have
to
do
that.
But
this
again,
that
comes
with
those
concurrent
meetings,
the
how
the
hra
wants
to
be
involved
in
in
housing,
redevelopment
and
financially.
D
A
J
A
Get
into
that,
you
look
at
it
and
what
I
look
at
you're
trying
to
do
is
is
to
really
focus.
I
mean
if,
if
we
look
at
bloomington,
given
the
age
of
the
city,
a
lot
of
our
housing
stock
needs
a
lot
more
attention
and
it's
just
something
that
we're
going
to
have
to
be
focusing
more
on
time
and
effort
on
we've.
D
A
Things
that
just
kind
of
end
up
here
and
there
and
all
of
a
sudden
somebody
pounds
their
fists
and
want
a
building
and
boom.
You
got
it,
they
don't
look
at
circulation
and
stuff
and
the
same
thing
happened
when
I
was
on
the
minnesota
state
college
university
board.
Again
you
have
to
to
look
at
these
things
and
it's
not
a
straight
check.
It's
just
saying
all
right.
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
president.
So
first
I
want
to
tell
everybody
that
the
city
council
had
a
great
discussion
on
this
very
good
discussion
and
it
ended
up
being
approved
on
a
7-0
vote.
I
think
everybody
was
in
favor
of
it.
I
do
want
to
go
on
the
record.
I
was
not
insistent
on
a
venn
diagram.
That
was
not.
B
B
I
think
the
recommendations
are
very
thoughtful
and
worked
toward
a
lot
of
the
goals
that
we're
talking
about,
but
also
work
toward
the
logical
things
that
need
to
get
done
here
in
the
city
of
bloomington
at
this
time,
and
so
and
I
mean
I
commend,
I
commend
the
the
folks
who
worked
on
this,
commend
the
staff
for
putting
the
thought
into
this
and
trying
to
figure
out
our
way
to
this.
That
is
both
logical.
B
Yes,
it
hits
the
council
ideas
and
recommendations,
but
as
as
you
said,
karla
at
the
start
of
it
that
it
fits
with
our
long-term
strategic
plan.
Also-
and
it's
always
nice
when
a
when
plans
come
together
and
it
starts
to
make
sense
and
you
you
see
that
it's
not
just
the
seven
of
us,
it's
not
just
the
staff,
it's
not
just
the
folks
in
this
building.
This
is
kind
of
a
vision
that
people
recognize
as
what
we
need
to
do
if
we're
going
to
move
forward
as
a
community.
So
I'm
strongly
in
favor
of
this.
B
J
A
quick
question:
I
I
do
like
the
the
centralized
approach
for
developers,
people
coming
in
and
versus
trying
to
figure
out
well.
Do
I
go
to
the
hra?
Do
I
go
to
port?
Where
do
I
go
so
I
like
that,
but
I
did
hear
you
say
cash
shade,
so
why
would
I
ask
that
right,
but
are
there
any
restrictions
on
anything
funding,
sources
or
anything
like
that
that
could
be
problematic
or
that
we
need
to
be
aware
of.
D
Mr
president,
commissioners,
commissioner
hunt
so
again,
I
think
what
you're
talking
about
is
the
the
hra
does
have
some
cash
that
can
be
used
for
these
projects
and
again
as
long
as
it
complies
with
the
statute,
and
so
that
needs
a
legal
review.
But
most
of
the
types
of
projects
that
we're
talking
about
here
you
know
housing
and
mixed
use.
Development
on
the
commercial
nodes
around
town
are
not
going
to
be
your
sick
projects,
for
example.
D
E
C
Yeah
yeah
president
erickson,
commissioner
lens
yeah,
there's
been
one:
that's
the
15
unit,
variety
that
was
approved
at
townhome
development
since
2010
other
than
that
there
have
been
scattering
of
two
family
dwellings
and
single-family
dwellings
throughout
the
city.
So
when
erica
talks
about
the
missing
middle,
it's
missing
in
bloomington
as
well.
If
you
go
farther
back
in
time,
we
did
have
more
in
that
size
band.
E
Being
a
real
estate
guy,
my
feeling
is
the
20
is
too
low.
It
needs
to
be
higher
than
that.
The
other
thing
too,
and
I
I
think
there
are
good
parts
of
this,
certainly
but
the
essence
of
what's
happening
here-
is
taking
hra
and
evolving
it
turning
it
converting
it.
Whatever
you
want,
and
public
housing
agency
is
not
the
right
term,
but
all
forms
of
housing
that
have
some
type
of
public
assistance
to
them.
E
G
I
can
answer
that.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Simple
answer.
No,
that's
not
what's
happening
here.
So
there
is
our
program
that
the
hra
has
a
contract
with
hud
that
we
administer
housing
choice
vouchers.
That's
one
program:
the
hra
actually
does
administer
the
home
improvement
loans,
those
home
improvement
loans,
go
to
market
rate
properties,
the
foreclosure
prevention
assistance
goes
to
market
rate
properly.
G
We
actually
purchase
so
hra
acquires
and
disposes
of
land
that
builds
market
rate
properties
down
payment
assistance
would
go
to
market
rate
properties
down
payment
assistance
does
not
mean
that
the
property
is
necessarily
affordable.
It
means
that
the
household
that
was
able
to
purchase
it
was
able
to
get
just
over
that
threshold
to
be
able
to
purchase
that
property,
and
so
what
we
are
proposing
here
does
not
change
and
say
that
the
hra
only
works
in
subsidized
housing.
G
I
reference
the
hud
contract
because
we
have
a
contract
that
falls
under
public
housing
authority,
but
the
hra
owned
properties,
as
shane
mentioned,
that
we
can
own
housing.
We
own
41,
single
family,
scattered
site
properties
throughout
the
city
of
bloomington
that
we
rent
out
and
between
two
different
programs.
20
of
those
was
public
housing
that
we
converted
in
2013
to
be
a
project-based
program.
G
So
I
say
all
that
to
say
we
are
not
taking
that
away
from
the
hra,
because
if
we
took
that
away,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
hra
assessment,
if
we
only
focus
on
subsidized
housing,
then
our
fastest
growing
populations
of
black
indigenous
people
of
color
and
seniors,
we
still
wouldn't
serve
them.
Just
because
they're
by
poc
or
seniors,
doesn't
mean
they're
all
in
need
of
affordable
housing
options.
G
No,
it's
not.
The
hra
actually
has
a
lot
of
losing
staff,
I'm
not
losing
anyone.
There
are
three
vacant
positions
in
the
hra
now
and
I'm
proposing
that
those
three
vacant
positions
we're
still
doing
work
today,
as
the
hra
and
fulfilling
our
needs
would
go
to
the
port
authority,
but
we
would
be
working
together.
G
We
may
be
separate
entities
created
by
statute,
but
we
are
all
city
employees
and
we
work
for
in
and
for
the
city
of
bloomington.
So
what
we're
proposing
here
is
that
the
staff
may
not
be
housed
as
hra
staff,
but
they're
still,
city
staff,
like
all
of
us,
are
and
by
having
the
opportunity
to
turn
on
the
port
levy
at
a
commensurate
amount,
that
the
hra
levy
is
lowering
theirs
one
showing
that
we
are
working
together
for
the
benefit
of
the
residents
of
bloomington,
but
two
we
can
use
the
staff.
I
Thank
you
and
I'm
so
I'm
sorry
for
coming
late
and
I'm
sorry
if
I
missed
this.
One
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
in
the
city
council
presentation
was
the
fact
that
currently
in
the
hra,
we
probably
I
don't
want
to
say
over
rely,
but
we
have
to
use
outside
consultants
to
help
facilitate
these
deals
through
and
with
this
approach,
it
would
shift
to
having
more
staff
managing
those
processes
right
and
I'm
wondering
if
that
is
even
relevant
to
the
question
just
asked.
I
But
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
piece
of
it
cause.
I
don't
think
I
heard
it
and
then
related
you
know.
Are
there
any
concerns
that
by
shifting
more
of
that
work
internally,
we
may
not
have
as
much
capacity
or
time
to
push
them
forward
as
quickly
as
we
would
like,
potentially
if
compared
to
you
know
using
consultants
outside
consultants.
So
if
you
could
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
that,
that
would
be
great.
G
G
G
G
So
one
of
the
things
is
is
that
as
we
look
at
fiscal
responsibility
and
we
look
at
where
funding
is
being
spent
and
we
look
at
what
the
tasks
are
and
the
goals
are,
we
took
a
step
back
and
identified
again
that
in
the
assessment
it
was
the
how
staff
was
broken
up
and
systems
in
evaluating
how
staff
is
broken
up
in
those
systems.
We
are
addressing
how
we're
spending
funding
and
time
on
outside
consultants
and
can
that
work
that
the
port
authority
is
already
doing
for
all
the
projects
that
you
have
done.
G
You
were
doing
it
in-house
with
your
staff
and
less
use
of
outside
consultants,
whereas
the
hra
was
doing
more
use
of
outside
consultants.
So
to
build
off
of
commissioner
lund's
question
and
your
question
councilmember
carter.
Yes,
it
would
be
better
and
it
has
been
looked
at.
We
are
proposing
these
five
bullet
points
here,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
the
other
things
in
the
background
that
impact
this
work
are
not
being
looked
at
and
reviewed
and
restructured
to
meet
all
of
the
needs,
and
so
that's
a
part
of
that
and
then
your
second
question
was.
I
I
guess
if
there's
any
risk
to
kind
of
moving
more
of
that
work
internally
in
terms
of
just
our
ability
to
move
projects
quickly.
You
know
when
you
bring
an
outside
consultant
in
they're
billing
per
hour,
so
there's
some-
I
I
don't
know
I
don't
want
to
make
assumptions.
This
is
not
I'm
not
a
professional
in
this
space,
and
so
that's
why
I
guess
I
just
want
to
ask
the
question:
is
there
risk
that
projects
could
take
more
time
if
we're
moving
them
internal?
I
If
we
have
a
bunch
of
work
happening
compared
to
if
we
use
outside
consultants-
or
maybe
there's
a
point
in
time
where,
if
we
have
so
much
development
happening,
we
would
have
to
eventually
go
back
to
hiring
some
outside
consultants.
I
guess
I'm
just
wondering
about
if
there's
whether
or
not
there's
risk
in
that.
D
Yes,
consultants
when
you,
especially
when
you
pressure
them
they'll
they'll,
do
the
work
quickly,
but
with
the
right
people
internally
and
as
we
add
these
people
as
long
as
we
get
the
right
people
and
allocate
them
correctly,
I
think
you
could
respond
just
as
quickly
or
or
even
quicker.
I
think
the
work
product
that
you
know
the
port
has
provided
on
the
projects
that
we've
been
involved
with
public
subsidy,
public
investment.
What
have
you
have
been
has
been
really
high
and
it's
just
a
testament.
D
I
think
to
the
to
the
group
that
works
on
it,
and
so
it's
all
about
people
if
whether
you're
a
consultant
or
an
internal
staff.
As
long
as
that
person
is
good
at
their
job,
then
you're
going
to
have
that
response,
and
as
long
as
they're
allocated
correctly-
and
this
gets
into
some
of
the
the
future
decisions
about
how
you
place
those
people
and
what
they
work
on
you
know
are
they
you
know
working
on
the
business
development
center?
Are
they
staffing
that
or
are
they
taking
those
calls
and
working
on
those
commercials?
D
And
things
like
that
again,
those
are
decisions
that
you're
going
to
have
to
make
later
and
again
you'll
have
to
roll
the
punches.
You
know
development
cycles,
you
know
ebb
and
flow
right
now,
we're
in
a
big
res
cycle,
of
course,
nobody's
building
hotels
or
office
in
large
part,
but
that'll
change
as
time
goes
on,
so
it'll
just
be
resource
allocation
and
making
sure
you
have
the
right
people
in
the
right
spot.
I
E
D
The
port,
mr
president,
commissioner,
commissioner
owens
the
port
currently
has
three
ftes.
All
this
is
provided
through
a
services
contract
that
the
port
approves
along
with
the
city
council,
so
the
port
contracts
with
the
city
to
provide
these
services,
and
so
there's
four
ftes
that
work
on
business
development.
D
D
D
With
the
oho
person
within
the
five
ftes
coming
over
from
the
hra,
it's
more
complicated
than
that,
because
the
the
oho
person,
as
in
glenn's
slide,
is
kind
of
split
managed
between
planning,
hra
and
the
port,
but
we
just
lumped
them
into
the
port
for
the
ease
of
talking
about
it.
On
this
slide,
okay,.
J
C
A
D
A
You've
got
this
pick
up
put
down
time
for
all
of
them.
One
of
the
things
that
we
know
with
all
of
our
projects
is
the
the
lead
time,
even
if
you're
doing
it
as
rapidly
as
you
can
is
long
so
that
it's
it's
really
important
to
have
that
memory
of
these
things-
and
I
know
in
what's
what's
happened-
is
jason
has
specialized
in
some
projects
and
shane
you
and
some
and
becky
has
done.
A
You
know.
Other
ones
and
she's
worked
a
lot
with
my
golf
stuff,
so
I
mean
again:
we've
had
kind
of
a
specialization,
so
they
all
and
we
we
do
have
one
position
that
we
fought
for
very
hard
that
isn't
filled
yet.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that's
so
we
have
three
currently
right,
plus
one
more
that's
authorized.
D
A
G
G
Every
last
one
of
those
positions
are
staffed.
So
when
you
ask
me
is
hra
getting
smaller
and
I'm
saying
no,
but
what
you're
asking
is
by
people
will
you
have
a
less
number?
Yes,
we
will,
but
again
the
work
is
done
and
being
taken
care
of.
However,
the
three
positions
that
would
go
to
the
port
authority
to
really
feel
for
the
expansion
of
business
resource
and
development
of
the
multi-family
and
commercial
development
of
creative
place,
making
city
wide.
G
F
President
erickson,
if
I
may
erica
you
did
an
excellent
job.
Commissioner
luntz
one
of
the
things
that
we're
also
working
on
as
a
part
of
this
assessment
actually
before
the
assessment
is
how
we
streamline
some
tasks.
For
instance
in
the
hra,
we
have
the
rehab
loans,
and
I
love
to
talk
about
this,
and
so
we
come
in
and
a
resident
comes
in
and
asks
for
a
rehab
loan
and
one
of
the
hra
staff
goes
out.
Writes
the
scope,
gives
it
to
a
contractor.
F
The
contractor
comes
to
the
city
of
bloomington
to
pull
the
permit
in
our
building
and
inspection
department,
which
is
right
in
community
development.
The
contractor
goes
out
and
does
that
work
and
then
they
come,
they
notify
the
city
and
they
say
hey.
We
need
to
close
out
that
permit.
So
you
know
what
building
inspection
does
they
send
the
inspector
out
to
close
out
that
permit
and
then
the
homeowner
notifies
the
hra
staff
right
down
the
hallway
and
says:
can
you
come
inspect
that
work?
F
Because
now
you
need
to
check
off
that
for
the
rehab
loan,
so
we're
sending
two
vehicles
out
to
do
the
same
inspection
and
we're
like
that
doesn't
make
any
sense.
So
now
what's
happening,
is
the
billing
inspection,
employee
inspector
is
going
out
signing
off
on
what
they
call
an
hra
permit
and
then
that
loan
project
gets
closed.
So
what
that
does?
F
But
I
think
it's
important
we're
one
department
we're
one
department
in
an
organization
and
we're
one
bloomington.
So
we
I
and
I
had
the
same
conversation
with
the
hra
board,
we're
not
in
competition
with
each
other,
we're
all
here
to
serve
the
residents
of
the
city
of
bloomington
and
so
whether
that
development
analyst
is
in
the
poor
and
erica
needs
to
have
access
to
that
person.
F
It's
not
going
to
matter
because
they're
going
to
be
able
to
do
work
citywide,
whereas
right
now,
if
erica
goes
to
becky
or
jason,
because
they're
funded
just
able
to
do
work
in
the
south
loop,
they
really
can't
help
on
other
projects
outside
of
south
loop
and
really
when
we
think
about
like
from
a
10,
000
foot
level.
That's
what
we're
trying
to
do
we're
trying
to
play
to
our
strengths.
We
could
easily
build
up
the
hra,
add
the
staff,
but
what
does
that?
F
Does
that
make
sense
and
we
know
create
a
place
making
we've
heard
from
our
council
and
our
citizens.
They
want
it
city-wide.
This
allows
the
funding
stream.
That
would
create
that,
and
so
I
know
we
are.
You
are
the
port
authority.
We
have
an
hra
board,
we
have
a
city
council,
but
what
we
see
is
just
one
bloomington,
one
city,
that
we
need
to
serve,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
perspective.
A
You're
smiling
now
rob
okay.
Any
further
questions
comments.
Anything
I
think
we're
ready
to
to
take
a
vote,
so
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
the
it's
contagious.
It's
it's
the
recommendations
on
page
seven,
I
think
shane
of
the
package
that
you
have
five
different
recommendations
that
we
would.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
to
approve
those.
A
A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
It
was
a
very
nice
presentation
and
I'm
just
you
know
what
we
have
to
do.
We've
got
to
figure
out
something
we
can
keep
shane.
You
know
whatever,
but
okay.
Well.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda,
then,
is
mall
of
america
counted
value.
Shane.
Are
you
going
to
talk
to
that
or
I
see
lori's
here
laura?
Are
you
going
to
talk
yeah?
I
I
always
have
loved
laurie's
name
economy.
Fuller.
I
thought
there's
nothing
better
for
a
chief
financial
officer
than
economy.
K
K
So
economy
sounds
better
these
days
before
the
commission
is
the
mall
of
america
counted
value
consideration
for
your
approval.
Over
the
last
I
would
say
several
years
the
mall
submitted
their
counter
value
worksheets
for
us
we
between
becky
schindler
and
myself
and
red
path
and
company.
We
had
several
questions.
The
mall
has
had
to
dig
through
and
go
through
a
lot
of
dusty
bins
and
find
a
lot
of
documents
to
move
them
back
and
forth
to
give
us
the
appropriate
and
support
documents.
K
For
this
amount,
it's
a
huge
amount
to
be
adding,
but
it's
a
lot
of
counter
value
for
all
the
improvements
for
1c
the
parking
way
finding
those
type
of
things
so
before
you
is
certificates
in
the
amount
of
341
million
dollars
for
you
to
approve,
and
that
will
give
us
counted
value
in
the
proportionate
pieces
where
we're
looking
at
in
the
future.
So.
A
K
A
K
A
A
A
F
F
F
F
We,
I
think,
interviewed
eight
people,
but
once
we
got
to
jason's
interview,
the
whole
interview
panel
was
like
we
don't
even
need
to
do
second
rounds.
We
were
very,
very
impressed,
obviously
with
his
background
and
his
ability
and
his
answers,
and
so
the
interview
panel
said
he's
our
guy.
So
as
it
was
indicated
earlier
today,
we
will.
We
do
have
his
position
cur
last
former
position
posted
right
now.
I
think
it
closes
sunday,
thursday,
okay,
so
we're
gonna.
F
A
I
A
Second
by
commissioner
carter,
any
further
discussion,
if
not
all
in
favor,
please
signify
saying
aye
aye
opposed
you're
it
carla.
Thank
you
all
right.
We
then
we
then
have,
and
when
I
first
saw
this,
I
said
why
do
we
have
to
appoint
somebody
to
the
foreign
trade
zone?
Commission
and
then
I
realized
well.
A
Shane
has
been
chair
of
that
and
following
the
footsteps
of
commissioner
keller
for
many
years,
but
at
any
rate,
so
I
I
guess
our
city
manager
has
volunteered
to
step
into
that
position
and
so
he'll
be
working
with
the
mayor
on
that
foreign
trade
zone.
So
I
would
entertain
a
motion
that
we
appoint
jamie
verbergy
as
our
as
a
representative
of
the
port
authority
to
the
foreign
trade
zone,
a
motion
made
by
commissioner
keller.
We
have
a
second.
I
A
F
What's
interesting
is
adhering
to
the
city's
procurement
rules
we
reached
out
to
purchasing
to
say:
does
this
qualify
as
a
sole
source
bid,
which
we
were
told
right
away?
Yes,
it
does
just
get
the
information
the
form
filled
out,
and
so
what
we're
proposing
is
to
approve
a
contract
that
would
retain
shane
rutland
as
a
consultant
to
the
port
authority
for
16
hours
starting
out
16
hours
a
week.
F
Sorry,
no,
it's
not
it's
up.
Shane
has
not
been
involved,
I'm
looking
at
it
shane
it's
gonna,
be
effective.
I'm
sorry,
month
to
month,
it's
a
month-to-month
contract.
We
just
believe
he
just
is
such
an
invaluable
employee
that
we're
losing
with
a
lot
of
knowledge,
as
we
look
for
our
next
port
authority
administrator
being
able
to
have
him
as
a
resource
and
then
have
some
overlap
when
we
are
able
to
bring
that
new
person
on,
we
think
is
just
vital
to
carrying
out
all
the
work.
A
If
not
all
in
favor,
please
signal,
saying,
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
six
zero
and
then
there's
one
other
item
that
I
talked
to
carolyn
yesterday
and
I
think
you
have
all
gotten
copies
of
a
resolution
that
they
they
drafted,
and
you
know
I'm
looking
at
this.
This
is
pretty
short
when
we,
when
we
think
about
all
the
things
that
shane
has
done,
I
could
probably
have
a
resolution
that
would
be
15
pages
long
and
I
mean
again
it
would.
A
A
We've
been
very
fortunate
over
the
period
of
time
with
our
board
of
st
port
authority
administrators,
because
clark
arneson
told
you
like
it
was,
and
sometimes
you
didn't
like
necessarily
what
you
heard,
but
you
knew
what
you
were
getting
and
shane
has
continued.
We
had
jill
marker
in
between
that
and
she
too,
but
but
again
I
think
that
we've
been
so
fortunate
to
have
this
continuity
and,
as
I
told
shane
when,
when
he
called
me
and
was
telling
me
he
was
going
to
make
this
move.
A
A
A
B
I
would
be
happy
to
so
in
my
career,
there
have
been
two
times
where
I've
sat
in
my
office
and
got
news
that
somebody
was
leaving
and
I
literally
started
yelling
out
loud
with
no
and
shane.
You
were
the
second
one,
so
just
just
so
you
know
and
you're
in
good
company,
with
the
first
person.
I
did
that
too
you're.
B
All
that
bob
said
and
more
I
mean
it's.
I've
appreciated
your
your
your
wise
counsel.
I've
appreciated
your
friendship.
I've
appreciated
your
unique
ability
to
manage
up
and
whether
it's
in
the
council,
the
the
mayor's
chair,
the
the
legislators
that
we've
dealt
with,
I
mean
all
that
that
you've
been
able
to
to
bring
them
around
and
to
talk
to
them
in
such
a
way
and
to
bring
them
to
where
we
need
to
be
is
a
unique
skill
and
have
all
I've
always
appreciated
that
definitely
going
to
miss.
B
D
When
I
make
presentations
and
whatnot
about
the
stable
council
that
the
the
city
council
has
had
exists
today,
it's
existed
for
a
long
time.
The
port
authority
board
the
board
that
you
know
this
seat
manages
is
always
you
know
super
practical
right.
I
mean
not.
We
don't
always
agree
on
every
single
point,
and
that's
just
you
know
the
way
the
world
works.
How
we
look
at
it
like
you
know
the
relationship
that
you
get
to
choose
who
you
marry.
D
You
don't
always
agree
with
that
person
either
right,
certainly
you're
not
going
to
agree
with
seven
people
that
sit
on
a
board
on
every
particular
street,
but
I
think
everybody
on
you
know
on
this
board
in
particular,
has
done
it
with
just
the
most
respect,
and
you
know,
realism
and
pragmatism,
and
I
think
that's
why
this
board
functions
so
well
and
I
hope
it
stays
that
way.
So,
thank
you
all
very
much
for
all
of
your
wise
counsel,
all
the
advice
and
all
those
kind
of
words.
It
really
means
a
lot
to
me.
