Description
Bloomington Minnesota City Council Study Meeting
A
Good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
back.
We
are
a
few
minutes
late
here
for
the
start
of
our
monday
october
26
city
council
study
meeting,
but
we
had
a
concurrent
meeting
with
the
hra
just
preceding
this
and
we
went
along
a
little
bit.
So
if
you
have
tuned
in
for
the
study
media,
I
apologize
for
the
delay
and
I
appreciate
your
sticking
with
us.
So
I'd
like
to
call
this
study,
meaning
to
order
ms
christensen,
if
you
could,
please
call
the
role
of
the
city
council
for
this
study
meeting.
C
A
A
The
first
is
the
proposed
10-year
capital
improvement
plan
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
are
tuning
in
you
probably
know
and
understand,
the
capital
improvement
plan
is
an
annual
document
put
together
each
and
every
year
by
the
city
of
bloomington.
It's
a
planning
document.
It
is
not
a
hard
and
fast
document
it
isn't.
This
is
what
we're
exactly
going
to
do.
A
If
we
don't
have
a
plan
put
together,
we
are
not
able
to
apply
for
certain
funding,
whether
it's
at
the
state
or
the
federal
or
from
other
sources.
So
it
is
an
important
document.
It's
it
includes
a
lot.
It
includes
a
lot
of
big
numbers,
and
a
lot
of
those
numbers
will
not
be
achieved
will
not
be
attained,
but
they
are.
It
is
a
planning
document,
something
that
we
look
at
and
we
try
and
plan
around
and
use
it
to
guide
our
development.
B
A
A
C
A
E
Thank
you.
I
will
apologize.
I
tried
to
video
earlier
myself
today
and
on
my
computer
is
not
working
well,
so
other
than
being
able
to
share
the
presentation.
You
won't
be
able
to
see
me,
but
you
can
hear
me,
the
cip,
the
capital
improvement
plan
on
the
council's
strategic
priorities.
The
community
amenities
is
just
one
of
those,
and
within
this
document
you
will
see
different
projects
that
go
and
encapsulate
all
the
other
community
strategic
priorities
and
moving
forward
on
that.
E
E
E
So
with
that
I'll
move
on
to
the
cip
process,
as
the
mayor
stated,
this
is
a
planning
tool.
We
do
a
long
range
piece
of
physical
planning
and
financial
projections.
Look
at
all
the
projects
that
may
come
up
and
what
their
cost
might
be
until
we
start
getting
closer
to
the
date
of
that
project.
We
won't
know
the
actual
cost,
so
part
of
the
planning
is
maybe
hiring
a
consultant,
maybe
staff
focusing
their
time
on
that
project
to
get
a
better
idea
that
we
are
close
to.
What
that
cost
right
would
be.
E
The
executive
summary
I'm
just
kind
of
highlights
the
different
seven
categories
and
projects
that
are
over
a
million
and
above
staff
and
the
community
should
understand
that,
just
because
it's
in
the
cip,
there
is
no
guarantee
that
that
project
will
move
forward
until
the
council
moves
it
forward
and
all
the
funding
sources
are
in
place.
If
and
as
we
move
into
the
procurement
area,
if
the
project
is
below
175
000,
the
city
manager
can
make
that
authorization
for
the
project,
and
so
those
are
the
smaller
ones,
anything
above
775
thousand
dollars.
E
E
E
E
One
of
the
pieces
that
we
worked
on
this
spring
with
the
coved
was
the
projects
that
were
planned
for
2020
and
those
that
were
put
on
were
halted
or
put
on
pushed
back
to
see
that
we
would
see
if
we
could
work
on
it
and
not.
We
have
this
document
out
on
the
finance
website
that
gives
a
status
of
where
the
2020
projects
are.
All
the
red
ones
are
on
hold.
The
green
ones
are
proceeding.
E
E
Part
of
the
conversation
you
may
recall
the
spring
the
council
had
with
staff,
was
providing
feedback
on
the
prioritization
process
that
we
used
for
our
previous
document,
and
they
gave
complicate
many
ideas
of
what
they
would
like.
We
initiated
a
committee
and
the
committee
created
a
new
methodology
of
prioritization.
E
They
created
their
cip
document
pieces
and
then
we
also
had
each
department
that
had
submitted
projects
they
had
to
rank
those
and
during
that
ranking
process
they
brought
in
both
emma
strauss
from
the
sustainability
piece
and
faith
jackson
for
the
racial
equity
piece
to
make
sure
those
pieces
not
only
were
prioritization
scored.
But
as
we
look
at
the
projects
and
their
timing
of
those,
those
elements
were
discussed
during
the
internal
department
review.
E
E
What
we're
looking
at
in
the
2021
budgets
that
were
submitted
the
council
has
seen
several
of
those
is
that
we
are
looking
to
get
a
council
when
they
adopt
the
cip
for
2021
through
2030,
somewhat
of
a
green
light
that
they
can
start
their
planning
piece
that
they
can
look
at
getting
the
feasibilities.
They
can
look
at
creating
bid
packages
and
just
getting
to
some
of
the
pieces
depending
again
on
the
procurement
dollar
amounts.
E
B
E
When
we
looked
at
the
city
facilities
for
the
facility
fund,
we
looked
at
the
public
works
garage.
There
were
some
questions
on
the
public
works
roof
for
that
and
then,
when
we
look
at
2022,
there's
a
number
of
projects
here
with
the
ice
garden,
we'll
be
looking
at.
Hopefully,
a
state
bonding
request
with
that
one
before
we
move
forward
a
fire
station,
4
rebuild
and
some
solar
installation
on
public
works
and
other
city
facilities.
E
E
Reception,
the
park
development
area,
there's
a
number
of
projects
for
that
in
2021.
The
main
one
there
that
we
would
be
looking
at
is
just
a
portion
of
the
next
phase
of
the
red
scott
projects.
It's
not
the
entire
dred
scott
area,
and
that
would
be
looking
at
some
fencing
lighting,
netting
and
tennis
courts.
But
it's
again
the
next
phase
of
dred
scott.
It's
not
the
entire
finished
product
there.
In
2022.
We
would
be
looking
at
bryant
park
phase
one
and
some
maintenance
on
the
normandale
lake
maintenance
building.
E
Just
some
updates
on
where
dred
scott
looks
like
now
that
it's
been
open
on
the
sewer
projects
in
2021,
one
of
the
largest
areas
there
we
could
look
at
is
the
four
million
eight,
almost
four
million
nine
at
the
28th
avenue.
This
is
for
the
expansion
pursuit
expansion
in
that
area
and
the
funding
for
that
is
coming
from
the
south
loop
capital
improvement
fund,
and
then
there
is
the
normal
payment
management
program
for
water
and
sewer
from
again
in
2022.
E
Further
expansion
on
american
boulevard
for
sewer
capacity
and
again
self-loop
funds
are
paying
for
those
improvements
within
the
south
loop
port
authority
area.
Most
of
their
projects
are
below
1
million
dollars
and
as
we
look
at
the
cost
projections,
I
believe
you'll
see
more
of
that
for
our
thursday
evening
meeting.
E
E
E
We
would
be
looking
to
issue
cip
bonds
in
2022
for
the
fire
station
four
and
then
charter
bonds,
depending
on
this,
would
be
the
dred
scott,
the
2.6
million
and
the
23
million
would
include
big
and
I'll
go
into
more
detail
on
the
bonds
in
the
next
couple
slides.
But
we
would
have
other
funds
here
too
for
that,
so
a
total
of
46
million
dollars
worth
of
projects
in
21
and
73,
and
a
half
million
for
2022.
E
If
all
these
projects
move
forward,
so
the
charter
bonds
in
2021
would
be
the
five
2.6
million
dollars
for
dred
scott
improvements.
We
kind
of
broke
those
down
into
the
tennis
courts
and
the
next
piece,
the
next
phase
of
dred
scott,
and
that
would
be
2.6
million.
So
the
projects
that
we
would
bond
for
in
21
impact
our
tax
levy
for
22.,
those
that
we
issue
bonds
for
in
22
will
impact
our
tax
levy
for
23..
E
Public
health
was
mainly
for
their
ability
with
coved
and
how
we've
changed
some
of
our
work
dynamics
of
being
remote,
the
possibility
that
they
could
rent,
maybe
a
space
that
becomes
vacant,
is
out
there
and
we
would
be
looking
to
see
what
we
could
do
there
to
continue
having
public
health,
maybe
in
a
more
centrally
located
area
with
better
transit
abilities
there
again
on
big.
We
would
only
move
forward
there
if
we
had
state
bonding
it's
just
such
a
large
number
for
that
on
the
cip
bonds.
E
E
Currently,
when
we
look
at
2021,
one
percent
of
the
tax
levy
is
650
000,
which
is
approximately
one
dollar
in
tax
levy
for
the
median
valued
home,
with
a
estimated
debt
service
of
267
000.
If
the
interest
rate
is
one
percent
that
would
be
41
cents
to
the
median
valued
home,
in
fact,
we
were
at
two
percent
that
would
be
44
cents,
but
that
just
gives
you
some
idea.
I
do
have
a
10-year
and
a
20-year.
E
E
So
again,
when
the
council
looks
at
this
in
december,
we
would
be
looking
for
the
adoption
of
the
cip
plan
and
allowing
staff
to
move
forward
with
the
planning
phase
of
some
of
these
projects,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
information
in
the
cip
and
there's
been
questions.
The
council
has
and
I'd
like
to
see
what
else
you
might
other
directions
or
thoughts
the
council
has
with
what
is
in
the
cip.
I,
if
need
be.
D
D
I
understand
there's
some
constraints
in
terms
of
the
type
size,
complexity
of
productions,
we're
able
to
do
say,
for
example,
with
our
current
lighting
system
that
we
have
I'm
just
wondering
making
those
investments
this
year
does
staff
have
an
idea
of
when
we're
going
to
see
a
return
of
large-scale
touring
productions,
kind
of
on
the
backside
of
covet
19
and
is
this?
Are
these
improvements
selected
for
2021
to
kind
of
dovetail
with
the
return
of
those
productions,
or
do
we
have
a
couple
years
of
wiggle
room.
A
F
Mr
mayor
and
council
members
councilman
martin
to
the
question
of
whether
we
have
an
idea
of
when
we
might
return
to
regular
scheduling
of
productions.
The
answer
is
no.
We
we
just
simply
can't
predict
when
that's
going
to
happen
in
the
current
environment
and
our
partners
in
the
arts.
Organizations
really
don't
have
the
answer
to
that.
Either
it's
going
to
entirely
be
dependent
on
when,
when
it's
safe,
to
bring
people
back
into
a
large
gathering
or
at
least
enough
to
financially
justify
the
cost
of
production.
D
Thank
you
very
much
and
then
just
one
other
quick
one.
Obviously
we
have
a
pretty
comprehensive
parks,
master
planning
process
going
on
right.
Now
that
I'm
hoping
and
assuming
are
going
to
have
some
cool
investment
opportunities
on
the
back
side.
Do
we
have
an
idea
when
we're
going
to
start
seeing
some
of
those
projects
appearing
in
out
years
in
the
cip.
E
Mayor
and
council
member
martin,
I
will
check
in
with
the
status
of
the
park,
improvement
master
plan
and
see
where
that
might
change
these
things,
but
I
think
the
park
master
plan
and
the
city
manager,
I
might
want
to
jump
into
it,
it's
much
more
global.
I
think,
as
they
would
do
dred
scott,
the
next
phase.
They
would
need
to
consult
to
make
sure
everything
that
is
at
dred
scott
needs
to
be
there
and
that
what
needs
to
be
there.
E
So
when
all
the
different
park
projects
are
coming
up,
they
will
need
a
little
bit
more
focus
on
that
specific
park
versus
the
higher
level
where
the
park
master
plan
is
at.
So
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
planning,
even
as
we
go
year
by
year
on
each
individual
park
for
what
that
park
needs,
but
currently
now
and
into
the
future.
A
A
G
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
just
a
few
couple,
quick
questions
here
and
I
I
just
want
to
clarify.
First
of
all,
something
that
I
I
thought
I
heard
lori
I
I
thought
I
heard
you
say
that
the
project's
at
big,
I
think
it
was
a
total
of
16
million,
that
that
the
plan
right
now
is
that
that
would
be
contingent
upon
receiving
state
bonding
dollars.
Is
that
correct.
A
E
So,
if
all
other
aside,
that
smaller
piece
might
still
have
to
be
done
internally
with
city
bonding,
if
there
is
nothing
else
on
that
available,
ann
catry,
our
director
of
parks
and
recreation,
probably
has
greater
detail
on
that
than
I
do.
But
if
we
can
put
this
forward
to
a
bonding
request
and
get
all
those
pieces
done
at
one
time,
the
refrigeration,
the
size
of
the
rings,
how
the
rings
are
structured
and
the
pieces
and
amenities
around
that
would
really
be
influenced
all
at
one
time
is
the
best
process.
G
Some
changes
that
they
would
like
to
see
we're
looking
at
operational
changes
in
efficiencies,
just
how
we
can
improve
the
overall
user
experience
at
big,
along
with
what
laurie
mentioned
in
terms
of
the
mechanical
equipment
that
has
to
be
changed
out
at
big,
so
we're
going
to
be
providing
a
couple
of
different
options
for
how
we
can
move
forward
for
improvements
at
big
one
option
will
be.
This
is
the
equipment
that
we
have
to
change
out.
R22
is
no
longer
in
production.
Changing
out
those
ranks
is
not
an
option.
G
In
addition
to
some
other
mechanical
units
there
that
have
just
exceeded
their
life
expectancy
so
we'll
be
providing
that
plan
laid
out,
and
then
we
will
also
be
providing
the
kind
of
stepped-up
planned
approach
where
we
could
provide
an
enhanced
user
experience
and
more
efficient
operations
at
big.
And
so
I
think,
that's
a
little
bit
more
explanation
of
what
lori
was
explaining
some
things
that
we
have
to
do
and
some
things
that
we
would
really
like
to
do.
Eventually.
C
Okay,
so
just
just
to
clarify
that,
because
I
guess
I'm
a
little
confused
by
by
that-
I
it
sounded
to
me
like
I,
you
know
I
get
that
there
are
some
things
that
that
are
sort
of
they
have
to
be
done.
You
know
sort
of
regardless
of
where
the
funding
comes
from,
but
I
you
know
I
certainly
recall
past
discussions
that
we've
had
that
have
centered
around
a
state
bonding
request
for
big
being
that
you
know.
C
G
Most
certainly,
council
member,
remember
coulter
members
of
the
council
first.
Just
regarding
your
last
comment.
Absolutely
we
we
intend
to
work
very
closely
with
the
city
council
on
making
a
recommendation
on
state
bonding
for
big.
You
know
the
big
question
is
going
to
be.
What
is
that
bonding
request
going
to
look
like,
but
but
absolutely
we
will.
We
will
work
very
aggressively
on
that
initiative
as
it
relates
to
outdoor
recreation
and
natural
resources
and
the
park
system
master
plan.
G
Additionally,
we
have
heard
from
our
residents
that
they
feel
that
our
parks
are
dated
and
have
many
of
the
same
amenities
in
many
parks,
and
they
would
prefer
that
we
look
at
some
of
the
amenities
that
we
have
in
some
of
the
parks
and
better
match
the
needs
of
current
park
users
and
families.
So
we
will
definitely
be
working
on
both
of
those
initiatives
very
significantly
as
we
move
forward
with
any
park
renovation
projects.
G
One
example
we
have
coming
up
in
the
in
the
near
cip,
two
actually
one
is
at
bryant
park
and
another
is
at
moyer
park.
What
we
would
intend
to
do
with
both
of
those
park.
Master
plans
is
have
a
significant
component
that
would
include
restoration
and
natural
resources,
so
we
would
be
looking
at
improving
and
enhancing
what
we
have,
and
we
would
also
be
looking
at
areas
in
the
parks
that
we
could
add
additional
natural
resource
amenities.
G
So
while
we
might
not
have
those
areas
specifically
called
out
in
the
cip,
it
definitely
will
be
a
significant
portion
of
the
planning
process
and
will
be
a
significant
portion
of
any
park
master
plan
renovation
that
we
do
moving
forward.
I
see
natural
resources
and
also
ada
accessibility
being
just
two
of
the
key
components
that
we
will
be
considering
and
being
incorporated
in
every
park
renewal
project
that
we
work
on.
C
Thank
you
for
that
and
then
just
one
final
comment,
and
I
know
there
are
others-
and
this
is
a
an
issue
that
that
council
member
beloga
has
raised
before
so.
Forgive
me,
councilmember
vlog,
if
I'm
stealing
your
thunder
here,
but
I
noticed
that
we
we
do
indeed
still
have
a
creekside
replacement
in
the
cip,
and
I
guess
I'm
I'm
just
a
little.
C
G
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
nathan,
you
took
my
first
item
of
discussion,
but
I
appreciate
you
doing.
That
makes
makes
my
job
easier
that
way,
so
I
won't
go
over
that
again,
but
anne
and
I
I
understand
what
you
said
about
the
parks
master
plan
being
about
50
complete
just
for
looking
at
this.
I
expect
to
see
a
significant
excuse
me,
a
significant
number
as
far
as
what
the
cost
to
complete
the
vision
from
that
plan
will
be,
and.
H
And
I
can't
help
but
think
that
today
is
not
the
time
with
the
economic
situation
that
is
facing
a
good
percentage
of
our
population,
but
to
look
at
some
point
in
the
future
down
the
road
or
a
total
bonding
bill
to
accomplish
the
needs
of
our
parks
and
rec
area.
Because
I
don't
see
that
in
our
lifetimes
we're
going
to
get
there.
H
A
So
I
have
one
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
This
is
a
planning
document
and
I
think,
as
ms
economy
shoulder
went
through,
she
again
stressed
it
was
a
planning
document
and
the
steps
that
would
be
taken
that
would
be
necessary
to
to
approve
or
get
to
any
of
these
projects.
But,
mr
verbruggie,
let
me
run
it
past
you,
if
you
could
just
to
clarify
for
everyone
both
on
the
council
and
folks
who
are
listening.
A
F
F
many
of
the
projects
that
are
in
here
have
funding
sources
that
are
reviewed
with
the
council
during
that
budget
process.
The
facilities
fund,
as
an
example,
pays
for
some
of
the
improvements
to
the
public
buildings,
so
the
council
will
have
all
the
information
and
a
knowledge
base
as
we
approve
the
document
of
where
things
stand
and
then,
as
we
get
into
the
projects
for
the
larger
projects.
D
F
We
have
to
go
out
and
competitively
bid,
those
those
those
bids
are
awarded.
So
there's
a
process
where
staff
will
be
preparing
a
specs
for
a
project
and
then
putting
together
an
rfp
and
during
the
next
couple
of
years
we
will
be,
I
think,
putting
closer
scrutiny
on
these
larger
projects
and
then
checking
in
with
the
city
council
prior
to
moving
forward
to.
B
F
Rather
than
having
a
an
award
for
bidding
a
project
come
to
the
council
just
because
it's
been
in
the
planning
document,
often
the
first
year
of
the
cip
is
generally
assumed
to
be
projects
that
are
greenlit
and
in
the
past.
I
think
that
there's
there's
been
an
understanding
that
we
would
move
a
little
bit
more
fluidly
through
that,
but
recognizing
we
have
a
different
economy
right
now.
They'll
be,
I
think,
it's
safe
to
say:
we'll
have
a
couple
steps
in
the
process
here
for
council
to
review.
A
F
F
G
G
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
we
hired
we
hired
a
company
who
specializes
in
engineering
firm
who
specializes
in
pool
equipment
and
pool
shelves.
They
did
an
evaluation
of
the
pool
shelf
and
the
really
good
news
for
us
is
that,
because
of
very
solid
maintenance
and
and
painting
and
caulking
over
the
last
20-plus
years,
the
pool
shell
itself
continues
to
be
in
really
good
condition
and,
in
fact,
we're
waiting
for
the
final
report.
But
they
said
that
the
pool
shell
itself
has
at
least
an
additional
20
plus
years
of
life.
G
G
We
took
out
the
item
that
was
scheduled
in
the
cip
to
replace
the
pool
shell
and
instead
we
put
a
placeholder
in
there
for
five
million
dollars.
There
were
a
variety
of
different
pool
projects
that
were
scheduled
there,
everything
from
replacing
some
slides
to
concession
improvements,
a
variety
of
different
things.
G
Our
hope
with
that
study
is
that
we
will
also
look
at
the
surrounding
area
immediately
right
around
the
pool,
including
the
parking
lots
and
some
of
the
some
of
the
other
amenities
that
are
right
around
there
and
could
possibly
make
some
improvements
to
some
park
amenities
at
the
same
time.
So
the
plan
was
to
to
do
that.
A
I
I
could
just
say
briefly
just
a
credit
to
the
staff.
This
has
come
a
long
ways
this
whole
process
over
my
my
short
time
here
on
council,
I
can
certainly
say
say
that
this
is
you
know,
each
year
it's
getting
better,
it's
kind
of
incremental
piece.
I
know
mayor
you've
mentioned
that
before
in
the
past,
but
I
just
want
to
just
thank
the
staff
for
their
hard
work
on
this.
This
whole
process.
I
know
we've
got
a
long
ways
to
go,
but
wow
we've
come
a
long
ways.
A
I
would
agree
thinking
back
to
when
I
first
started
working
on
the
council
and
seeing
the
the
process.
It
was
a
bit
more
cumbersome
than
it
is
now.
So,
thanks
for
the
staff
for
streamlining
and
making
it
much
more
understandable,
not
only
to
us
here
in
the
council,
but
also,
I
think,
to
members
of
the
community
well
done.
F
F
Based
on
that
to
the
council
member
lohman's
point
about
this
being
a
a
continuous
work
in
process
or
progress.
I
think
the
the
the
next
step
for
us
is
to
actually
get
to
a
point
we're
able
to
prioritize
across
departments,
because
much
of
the
prioritization
that
has
occurred
has
been
within
departments
or
within
the
various
funds,
and
that's
just
like
I
say,
more
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
as
we
continue
to
develop.
F
A
A
A
With
that,
we
can
move
to
item
3.2
on
our
study
session
agenda,
which
is
the
temporary
pandemic
response
housing,
a
big
discussion
of
a
topic
of
discussion
here
in
the
city,
and
I
think
everywhere
frankly,
since
the
pandemic
has
started
ms
worthington,
I
believe
you
are
going
to
lead
us
through
this
one.
I
see
mr
marker
guard
here
as
well
and
actually
there's
a
lot
of
folks.
I
think
who
are
going
to
chime
in
on
this
one,
but
ms
worthington
thanks
for
being
here
this
evening.
Please.
J
J
We're
seeing
increased
community
need
for
shelter,
we're
seeing
that
the
pandemic
has
reduced
the
capacity
of
existing
shelters,
and
let
me
just
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
The
way
that
congregate
care,
shelters
work
is
that
typically
they're
not
like
a
single
room,
occupancy
they're,
usually
a
very
large
congregate
facility
where
people
sleep
either
on
cots
or
on
mats,
on
on
the
floor
and
they're
separated
by
just
a
few
feet,
and
as
you
can
imagine,
that
is
not
an
ideal
situation
for
trying
to
limit
the
spread
of
covid.
J
In
that
in
those
settings,
and
then
there
are
greater
availability
of
hotel
rooms
right
now,
because
our
tourism
sector
has
really
suffered
during
the
pandemic,
with
less
travel
and
less
tourism,
and
so
there
are
a
lot
of
hotel
rooms
available
and
then
there's
funding
coming
into
the
picture
here
through
cares
and
through
emergency
assistance
dollars
through
hennepin,
county
and
other
sources,
and
so
there's
this
convergence
of
factors
that
are
really
influencing
shelter
and
the
the
need
for
additional
shelter
and
how
shelter
is
being
located
right
now.
Next
slide.
J
Please,
and
so
the
city's
objectives
in
looking
at
this
work
are,
are
really
three-fold.
One
to
meet
the
housing
needs
of
residents,
both
here
in
bloomington
and
residents,
who
may
choose
bloomington
right
now,
both
from
a
rental
and
perhaps
from
a
shelter
standpoint
to
maintain
city
and
council
discretion.
J
So
really,
what
we
mean
here
is
that
the
city
has
regulations,
zoning
laws
and
other
regulations
that
that
regulate
and
license
hotels
as
a
use
in
the
city.
We
want
to
maintain
the
discretion
of
our
local
laws
and,
and
finally,
and
and
certainly
most
importantly,
we
want
to
preserve
safety
for
the
residents
of
bloomington,
whether
they're
living
in
a
hotel
right
now
or
living
here
permanently.
J
That's
really
under
that
community
needs
heading
under
preserving
safety.
We
want
to
consistently
apply
a
progressive
enforcement
model
to
ensure
public
safety
at
all
hotel
shelter
locations,
both
formal
and
informal,
and
we
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
level
of
service
expectations
will
be
different
at
those
facilities
based
on
additional
needs
at
those
locations
and
then
under
maintaining
discretion.
J
We
really
want
to
talk
to
you
tonight
about
preserving
through
active
enforcement,
zoning
and
land
use
regulations
with
regard
to
these
uses
and
then,
when
necessary,
and
only
after
progressive
enforcement
takes
place,
pursuing
revocation
of
licensure
for
hotels
that
do
not
comply
with
city
regulations.
So
those
are
some
of
the
things
this
evening
that
we'd
like
you
to
think
about.
L
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
thanks
glenn
mayor
and
council
you're.
I
just
have
a
couple
slides
here
and
a
little
bit
of
a
a
bit
of
a
little
repeat
from
last
week
and
then
an
update
so
on
the
screen
now
you'll
see
we
continue
to
track
calls
for
service
and,
as
this
presentation
goes,
you'll
start
to
kind
of
understand
why
we're
tracking
these
particular
hotels
and
so
we've.
What
we've
done
in
this
particular
site
has
added
another
week's
worth
of
data.
L
This
slide
is
again
a
little
bit
of
a
repeat
from
last
week.
It
shows
you
the
month-to-month
call
for
service
at
these
at
the
hotels
that
you
saw
on
the
previous
screen
now.
What
I've
added
here
is
in
those
where
those
asterisks
are
is
that
shows
you,
the
medical
calls
as
a
subset
of
the
overall
calls
for
service.
So
on
the
comfort
inn
going
down
to
april
three
of
the
51
calls
were
medicals
and
then
going
down
to
september.
You
see
there
at
12.
L
at
the
comfort
inn
that
represents
around
25
of
the
calls
for
service
overall
that
are
going
on
at
the
comfort
inn.
Now,
if
you
move
over
two
columns
to
the
holiday
inns
that
those
those
two
locations
were
tracking
the
medicals
as
a
specific
type
of
call
at
the
holiday
inn
airport,
they
represent
around
half
currently
overall
about
half
of
the
calls
and
then
at
the
holiday
inn
express
on
johnson.
They
are
closer
between
50
and
60
percent.
L
L
A
K
K
Given
the
low
demand
for
hotel
use,
we
have
seen
a
variety
of
new
uses
appear
at
hotels
and
one
of
those
that
we've
talked
a
lot
about
is
the
hennepin
county
use.
They
are
leasing.
Both
the
holiday
inn
and
holiday
inn
express
the
entire
hotel,
as
we've
discussed
for
homeless
shelter
purposes
on
a
temporary
basis.
K
Hennepin
county
is
also
looking
at
acquiring
the
extended
stay.
America,
hotel
and
windale
in
american
and
I'll
go
into
more
detail
on
that
in
a
little
bit,
but
that
their
hope
is
to
replace
the
lease
that
they
have
at
holiday,
inn
express
which
would
end
at
the
end
of
2020,
and
then
they
hope
to
keep
the
leasehold
holiday
in
on
35w
through
june
1st
of
2021
and
then
hope
to
use
the
extended
stay
america
for
up
to
two
years,
depending
on
the
duration
of
the
pandemic.
K
So,
while
this
use
is
occurring,
the
hotels
are
also
open
for
business
and
have
regular
customers
as
well
and
then
a
third
relatively
newer,
at
least
in
its
scope.
Use
of
hotels
is
as
long-term
housing
and
environmental.
Health
recently
did
a
survey
of
all
hotels
in
the
city
and
found
that
25
hotels
had
at
least
one
a
resident
who
was
there
for
30
days
or
longer
in
terms
of
their
stay,
so
some
hotels
there's
a
very
low
number
of
other
hotels.
It's
a
much
higher
number.
M
So
we
conducted
a
survey
on
october,
16th
and
19th
by
phone,
calling
every
hotel
in
the
city
and
asking
a
series
of
questions
and
what
we
learned
from
calling
is.
You
know
we
were
asking
a
variety
of
things:
anything
from
security
to
room
rental.
You
know
rates
of
you
know
what
you're
charging
for
a
nice
day
but,
as
a
neat
summary
of
you
know,
just
kind
of
diving
deeper
into
you
know
how
many
rooms
in
the
city
are
you
really
being
used
for
stays
of
30
days
or
more?
M
Is
you
know
what
we
kind
of
were
concentrating
on
so
obviously
in
hennepin
county
in
the
two
hotels
that
they
are
renting
the
entire
building?
You
have
326
rooms,
the
other
shelters,
combined
186
rooms
and
then
individuals
who
aren't
part
of
a
non-profit
or
shelter
there.
They
have
a
contract
directly
with
the
hotel,
for
their
room
is
another
146..
M
So,
as
you
can
see
in
the
28
hotels
on
the
days
that
we
call
reported,
you
know
that
there
were
658
rooms
that
people
were
liv.
You
know
living
in
staying
in
more
than
30
days,
making
up
just
under
7
percent
of
all
hotel
rooms
available
to
the
public
right
now
or
just
hotel
rooms
in
the
city
and
again
that
was
you
know
of
the
46
licensed
and
opened
hotel
rooms,
and
it
was
you
know
very
interesting
to
talk
to
many
of
our
managers
about.
K
So
if,
if
we
were
to
compare
hotel
use
with
other
more
traditional
residential
uses
such
as
multiple
family,
residential
and
congregate
living,
some
of
the
differences
include
the
following
so
sleeping
purposes:
only
that's
the
intent
for
hotel
rooms
not
intended
for
long-term
residential
use
and
then,
in
addition
to
that
hotels,
have
short-term
stay
requirements
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
So
under
30
days
is
the
time.
Duration
in
the
zoning
ordinance
and
then
hotels
are
allowed
in
commercial
zoning
districts,
whereas
multiple
family
residential,
their
zoning
requirements,
are
for
full
kitchens.
K
So,
in
addition
to
the
differences
we
talked
about
with
kitchen
requirements,
minimum
floor
areas
and
the
maximum
stay
limit,
that
applies
at
hotels.
Other
differences
include
open
space
requirements
that
apply
to
residential,
but
not
hotel.
Parking
requirements
are
higher
for
residential
uses
and
then
bloomington
requires
both
enclosed
parking
and
storage
space
for
residential,
but
not
for.
M
M
The
main
categories
of
licensed
types
and
it's
one
thing
to
talk
about
uses
and
glenn
will
talk
about
uses.
I
tend
to
talk
more
about
licenses,
but
the
ways
that
we
license
these
different
uses
is:
we
have
a
hotel
license
that
and
the
food
service
license
both
are
delegated
from
the
minnesota
department
of
health
under
our
delegation
agreement.
But
then
we
have
rental
housing
licenses
and
those
are
in
city
code
and
the
two
that
you
know
would
relate
most
closely,
maybe
to
a
hotel
conversion.
M
You
know
we're
looking
at
a
multi-family,
so
a
multi-family
license
is
like
what
apartment
buildings
have
where
you
have
five
or
more
dwelling
units
in
a
building,
but
each
dwelling
unit
can
you
know
people
can
live
in
it
independently.
They
have
a
full
kitchen,
but
there's
also
a
category
of
rental
housing
where
you
have
group
housing
and
probably
one
of
the
more
common
is
you'll,
hear
the
zoning
use
of
congregate.
M
But
we
talk
in
licensing
more
about
housing,
west
services,
buildings
and
those
tend
to
be
buildings
where
there
might
be
a
state
department,
a
health
license.
Maybe
it's
for
those
services
like
you
know,
you
think
about
assisted
living
where
people
have
sleeping
rooms
and
a
bathroom,
but
their
food
service
is
done
in
a
in
a
in
a
dining
room.
M
K
K
So
that
could
be
housing.
People
with
hosing
instability
during
a
pandemic
could
be
quarantine
space
or
it
could
be
more
of
a
bubble
where
you're
trying
to
isolate
a
group
of
people
to
avoid
the
pandemic.
You
know
think
of
the
nba
had
their
recent
bubble
in
orlando,
so
the
intent
is
to
allow
this
new
use
so
temporary
pandemic
response
housing
as
an
interim
use,
and
only
in
the
rm50
zoning
district,
which
is
a
multiple
family
zoning
district.
K
Then
the
ordinance
also
creates
standards
for
this
new
use,
including
a
two-year
time
limit.
That
would
apply
to
any
interim
use
permit
having
a
security
plan
submitted
that
would
be
approved,
reviewed
and
approved
by
the
police
chief
requirements
for
management
and
operational
plan,
and
then
a
requirement
that
it
not
be
mixed
with
any
other
uses
on
site,
such
as
a
mixture
between
a
shelter
and
hotel
on
the
same
site.
K
Site
so
another
kind
of
tangential,
somewhat
related
issue
is
the
conversion
of
hotels
to
residential
uses
on
a
permanent
basis,
and
this
is
something
we're
seeing
strong
market
interest
in
on
the
buyer
side.
There
is
interest
today
because
the
multi-family
market
remains
strong,
strong
demand
for
housing
and
on
the
seller
side.
There's
interest
because
of
reduced
demand
for
hotels,
so
we
do
anticipate
multiple
applications.
K
We've
been
talking
with
a
variety
of
entities
that
are
in
various
stages
of
either
looking
at
or
pursuing
this
opportunity
to
convert
a
hotel
to
permanent
residential
use,
and
often
that's
done
by
emerging
multiple
rooms
into
one
dwelling
unit.
So
it
could
be
two
rooms
into
one
dwelling
unit
could
be
three
rooms
into
one
dwelling
unit
or
if
you
had
a
very
large
hotel
room,
it
could
become
a
small
efficiency
unit
and
the
developers
really
report
that
this
is
a
low-cost
and
very
quick
method
to
add
housing.
K
K
So
we
do
have
an
application
in
before
the
city
right
now
on
that
site
from
the
hennepin
county,
and
that
includes
four
approvals.
First
of
all,
re-guiding
the
site
from
office
and
hotel
use
to
high-density
residential,
a
rezoning
to
the
rm50
zoning
district,
a
major
revision
to
development
plans
to
use
the
building
for
temporary
pandemic
response
housing,
and
then
a
interim
use
permit
again
that
they
would.
They
are
requesting
a
two-year
interim
use
as
temporary
pandemic
response
housing.
M
M
These
fees
can
be,
you
know,
either
violations
to
city
code
or
state
laws
and
the
the
fees.
First.
We
have
two
warning
notices
and
with
the
first
warning
notice,
the
property
is
then
monitored
due
to
frequent
service
calls.
You
know
you
calls
for
service
or
you
might
want
to
call
them
complaints
where
police,
environmental,
health
building
inspections
fire,
where
we're
called
to
investigate
you
know
something
that's
happening
or
deal
with.
M
You
know
some
issue,
that's
going
on
some
code
violation,
the
third
in
the
sequence
and
subsequent
notices
can
then
charge
a
fee
for
the
cost
of
that
service
to
respond
to
a
verified
violation
of
state
or
city
code.
Obviously
we
want
to
apply
this
when
it's
a
medal,
a
call
for
medical
assistance.
It
would
be
you
know
more
things.
M
You
know
along
city
code
lines
or,
for
you
know
possible.
You
know
fights
or
or
other
disturbance
of
the
peace
type
services
and
our
our
minimum
fee
that
we
can
assess
under
code
is
250
for
that
service,
but
it
can
go
all
the
way
up
to
two
thousand
dollars.
If
you
itemize,
you
know
what
it
actually
cost
the
city
for
those
services.
You
know
how
many
police
officers
or-
or
you
know
how
much
time
or
what
might
have
been
actually
spent
in
in
providing
the
service
to
that
property.
For
that
service
call.
M
So
we
do
use
excessive
use
of
services
most
properties
after
they
get
one
or
two
notices.
They
tend
to
come
into
compliance.
We
don't
issue
a
lot
of
these
fees,
which
then
can
be
assessed
if
not
paid,
and
I
think
it's
got
the
attention
of
a
couple
of
hotels
at
least
one
hotel.
I
know
that
we
have
issued
two
is
made
them
kind
of
stand
up
and
and
listen
a
little
more
and
and
and
think
about
the
type
of
calls
other
other
things
that
we
use
to
enforce.
M
Let's
say:
city
code
violations
or
city
city
zoning
code
violations.
After
a
series
of
written
notices
and
education,
we
they
can
lead
to
civil
fines.
We
call
administrative
penalty
orders,
they
range
from
250
to
a
thousand
dollars,
depending
on
the
fine
schedule
and
the
section
of
the
code
or
to
enforce
the
city.
M
M
The
third
mechanism
is
a
criminal
prosecution,
something
obviously
that
our
legal
department
handles,
for
mainly
police,
might
be
violations
of
state
law,
sometimes
city
codes,
and
then
the
last
category
city
license
suspension
or
revocation.
So
environmental
health
uses
the
temporary
suspension
of
a
license
to
close
a
business
while
they're
working
to
correct
something
serious,
and
then
we
open
them
as
soon
as
they
get
it
corrected.
M
But
the
other
thing
that
our
city
code
allows
is
because
the
city
issues
the
license.
The
city
council
does
have
the
authority
to
revoke
a
license.
It's
not
something.
You
know
we
do
very
often,
but
council
does
have
the
authority
to
do
this
after
a
public
hearing.
Council
can
act
upon
it
and
I
think,
in
the
progression
of
enforcement
mechanisms,
you
know
you
start
with
education
and
you
work
to
through
written
notices.
N
A
N
Hotel
owners
have
wide
latitude
to
eject
hotel
guests
from
their
property
with
little
procedure,
and
so
long
as
an
owner
maintains
an
innkeeper's
license.
Hotel
staff
may
remove
guests
or
refuse
admission
to
guests
or
potential
guests
who
don't
pay,
who
are
obviously
intoxicated
who
violate
posted
hotel
rules
and
under
another
specific
authority.
That's
memorialized.
Excuse
me
in
minnesota
statues.
N
Now,
when
a
person
is
a
tenant,
we
tend
to
think
of
a
tenant
as
a
traditional
sort
of
apartment
tenant.
Who
is
due
formal
eviction,
proceedings
and
formal
eviction.
Proceedings
are
required
to
remove
those
traditional
tenants
from
properties,
so
different
standards
for
a
person
who's
paying
money
for
space
for
a
short
period
of
time
versus
a
person
who's
paying.
N
You
know
dollars
for
a
space
for
a
longer
person
of
time,
and
that
is,
you
know,
triggered
with
protections
or
process
which
they're
entitled
now
each
state
has
its
own
rules
determining
whether
or
when
a
transient
occupant
becomes
a
recognized
recognized
under
the
law
as
a
tenant
and,
for
example,
in
california.
It's
a
statutory
set
marker,
it's
30
days
in
a
place
of
occupancy
and
that
person
becomes
a
tenant
now
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
N
There's
a
rebuttable
presumption
within
state
law
that,
if
the
guest
has
no
other
place
that
they
live
and
they
pay
rent
that
they
are
a
tenant
and
the
the
length
of
a
person
stay
the
existence
of
a
special
contract,
the
rate
or
or
paint
method
of
payment,
whether
their
personal
belongings
are
stored
at
the
hotel
and
then,
most
importantly,
perhaps
whether
they
have
another
residence
away
from
the
hotel
are
material
facts
in
analyzing.
Whether
a
person
is
entitled
to
tenant
protections.
N
So
if
a
person
is
a
tenant,
if
the
those
facts
and
circumstances
reflect
that
they
are
attending,
do
protection
and
process
under
state
law,
then,
rather
than
being
immediately
removed
under
a
trust
back
that
trust
that
action
trespass
action
when
you're
dealing
with
the
innkeeper
standard,
the
tenant
receives
additional
process
of
the
eviction
action,
and
so
this
is
where
these
definitions
are
important.
In
thinking
about
our
the
eviction
moratorium.
That's
in
place,
so
the
governor's
executive
order,
which
is
2079,
took
effect
on
august
4th
and
that
order
suspends
evictions
within
the
state
of
minnesota.
N
A
tenant
specifically
cannot
be
evicted
for
non-payment
of
rent,
but
rent
is
still
due
upon
the
expiration
of
the
moratorium
for
existing
residents,
whose
lease
or
tenancy
has
expired,
and
you
know
for
that
more
traditional
sense.
A
landlord
cannot
terminate
or
issue
a
non-renewal
of
a
lease
or
give
a
tenant
notice
to
vacate
while
the
moratorium
is
in
effect.
N
That
being
said,
there
are
exemptions
to
this
rule.
Evictions
may
be
filed
against
tenants
where
there
is
evidence
of
significant
damage
to
the
property.
If
the,
if
property
damage
is
a
material
violation
of
the
existing
lease
or
the
agreement
between
the
landlord
and
tenant
if
they
are
remaining
and
if
the
tenant
is
remaining
in
the
property
and
the
landlord
or
their
family
is
moving
into
the
property.
N
Our
tenants
within
the
meaning
of
state
law
and
are
protected
by
the
eviction
moratorium,
so
we
go.
The
the
sort
of
the
progression
of
this
is
that
a
hotel
operator
may
go
from
an
innkeeper
to
the
height
and
standards
of
the
landlord
and
then,
as
they
become
the
heightened
center
of
the
landlord
and
the
guest
moves
from
a
traditional
guest
to
a
tenant.
But
then
those
eviction
moratorium
protections
then
would
apply
to
them
as
well.
N
J
These
are
the
objectives
that
we're
applying
to
this
effort,
as
we
think
about
the
use
of
hotels
and
excuse
me
the
use
of
hotels
as
shelters,
at
least
on
a
temporary
basis
and
thinking
about
how
we
handle
the
rights
of
people
who
are
living
in
those
hotels
for
more
than
30
days
in
terms
of
their
rights
as
potential
tenants.
And
so
we
wanted
to
give
you
all
that
information
this
evening
and
check
in
with
you
and
ensure
that
we're
on
the
right
path.
J
We
will
be
bringing
forward
hennepin
county's
application
as
glenn
mentioned,
and
we
will
also
be
updating
you
regularly
on
the
work
of
the
homeless
and
shelter
work
group
that
was
established
last
week.
So
we're
ready
to
stand
for
questions
and
specifically
just
want
to
check
in
with
you
about
these
five
objectives
that
we've
laid
out
here
for
you.
A
Well,
first
of
all,
thank
you,
ms
worthington.
Thanks
for
all
your
work
thanks
to
the
entire
staff
for
the
work,
that
was
a
very
comprehensive
and
very
helpful
overview
of
what
what's
going
on,
what
we're
facing
here
and
appreciate
the
fact
that
this
was
looked
at
more
universally
and
more
comprehensively,
and
not
just
as
a
police
issue,
not
just
as
a
zoning
issue,
but
this
was.
This
was
looked
at
very
comprehensively,
and
I
appreciate
that
because
I
think
it
is
a.
A
It
is
a
bigger
issue
than
than
just
a
law
enforcement
right
and
wrong
kind
of
issue
and
to
look
at
it.
In
that
way,
I
think
adds
different
perspective
to
it
and
different
perspective
as
to
what
we're
talking
about
here,
also
appreciate
the
the
different
nuance
to
all
of
this
there's
not.
This
is
not
a
black
and
white
issue.
A
What
the
the
different
pieces
of
that
puzzle
are,
what
powers
that
the
city
actually
does
have
and
doesn't
have
and
where
we
just
honestly,
don't
know
right
now,
depending
on
where
this
all
shakes
out
and
how
it
would
be
decided
at
the
states
at
the
state
level
or
levels
above
the
city
council,
and
I
think
that
is
a
definite
possibility.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
to
this
and
there's
a
lot
of
pieces
to
this,
and
it's
a
good.
It's
a
good
starting
point
for
our
discussion.
O
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
also
really
want
to
express
my
deepest
gratitude
for
all
of
the
work
that
has
gone
into
this
and
all
of
the
work
that
you
guys
have
been
doing
in
partnership
with
all
of
the
other
organizations
and
businesses
involved.
I
know
in
my
conversations
with
various
city
staff.
I
know
this
has
been
just
constant
and
so
thank
you.
So
I
appreciated
the
slide
on
kind
of
the
the
enforcement
mechanisms,
and
I
was
curious.
O
J
O
Okay,
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
so
then,
going
to
the
eviction
moratorium,
one
of
the
things,
the
one
of
the
points
that
you
had
said
was
a
requirement
to
pay
to
be
paying,
and
so,
if,
in
the
case
of
shelters,
that
really
is
relates
to
this
conversation.
If
people
are
not
paying,
are
they
still
covered
by
the
eviction
moratorium?
Are
they
still
protected
under
that,
if
they're,
not,
if
they're
not
actually
paying
anything.
N
Those
organizations
are
are
paying
for
the
rooms
and
they
are
paying
for
those
people
to
live
in
the
rooms
and
they
there.
I
think
that
there
is
also
there's
someone
is
paying
for
those
specific
individuals
who
have
been
highlighted
by
the
organization
as
someone
in
need
to
live
in
those
spaces,
and
so
I
think,
there's
there
is
also
an
argument
we
made.
They
are
protected
by
the
eviction
moratorium
as
well.
O
J
In
the
case
of
council
member
carter,
mayor
bussie
in
the
case
of
the
hennepin
county,
purchase
of
the
extended
stay
in
any
kind
of
zoning
or
land
use
guidance
changes
that
result.
Those
do
not
impact
the
other
shelters,
hotel,
shelters
in
the
city,
the
comfort
inn
specifically
or
the
holiday
inn,
which
will
continue
to
be
operated
by
hennepin
county.
I
Thank
you
just
a
couple
questions
here,
I'll
try
to
go
quick
here.
So
if
we
look
at
slide
number
13.,
I
just
had
some
questions
around
affordable
housing
and
some
of
our
standards
that
we
have
for
hotels
and
so
we're
looking
at
that
conversion
that
we're
talking
about
how
do
some
of
those
things
relate
to
some
of
our.
We
have
our
opportunity
housing
piece
and
how
would
that
impact
the
conversion
from
those
hotels
if
they
wanted
to
say
use
some
of
that
property
for
as
an
affordable,
housing
piece.
K
For
example,
bloomington
requires
a
minimum
400
square
feet
for
an
efficiency
unit.
Not
many
hotel
rooms
are
that
large,
but
we
do
have
hotel
rooms
that
are
in
the
350
square
feet
range.
So
by
taking
advantage
of
the
incentives
and
hitting
certain
affordability
targets,
they
could
reduce
that
minimum
required
area
down
to
360
or
even
further,
depending
on
the
affordability
level
square
feet.
I
Just
a
good
example:
I
I
know
that
when
we're
looking
at
the
marketplace
for
this,
this
may
be
what
ends
up
happening
to
that
market.
Given
the
circumstances
we
find
ourselves
in
moving
on
to
slide
number
15
when
we're
looking
at
licensing
requirements,
I'm
curious
about
how
other
cities
and
maybe
I'll,
ask
I've,
got
another
question
about
this.
That's
later
on
too
I'll.
Just
put
these
all
together.
I
So
how
do
cities
handle
these
licensing
requirements
and
then
also,
how
do
other
cities
handle
when
we
look
at
homelessness
and
shelters?
How
do
they
handle
that
in
their
zoning
code,
and
we
also
have
it
in
a
sense
in
our
our
planning
documents
that
are
out
there
in
our
comprehensive
plan?
We
talk
about
what
we
want
to
do
around
this
any
comments
on
those
those
three
different
documents.
There.
M
Mayor
bussey,
council,
member
lowman,
aldress
licensing,
so
most
cities
operate
like
like
we
do
and
have
rental
housing
licenses,
or
if
you
are
a
city
or
the
county
that
has
the
delegation
agreement
for
hotel
and
food
service
license,
you
might
use
something.
That's
called
a
hotel
like
license
lodging
license.
It
all
depends
upon
how
the
building
is
run
and
operated
depending
upon
if
you
are
really
have
beds
or
if
you
have
dwelling
units.
M
So
if
you
have
dwelling
units
we're
usually
talking
more,
you
know
that
multi-family
license
when
you
have
a
bed
in
bloomington
or
group
housing
where
you
have
like
your
food
services
shared.
You
know,
that's
how
we
license
it.
But-
and
you
know
other
cities
might
have
a
license
category
a
little
bit
different,
though
I'm
just
saying
this
is
what
we
have
on
the
books
right
now
in
city
code
and
through
our
delegation
agreement,
the
state
so
lynn.
What's.
I
So,
just
as
when
we're
going
in
to
make
this
decision
come
november,
where
this
may
be,
it
would
just
be
helpful
to
kind
of
just
have
even
just
a
sample
example,
just
to
kind
of
help
to
understand
how
those
other
cities
deal
with
with
some
of
these
license
requirements
to
see.
If
there's
something
that's
missed,
I'm
sure
you're
looking
at
that,
but
just
would
be
helpful
to
just
kind
of
have
to
see
how
those
are
organized.
B
K
K
It
certainly
talks
a
lot
about
housing,
affordability
and
homelessness,
as
well
with
targets
for
affordability
at
the
various
levels,
including
30
percent
and
low,
which
the
hotels
represent
kind
of
a
unique
opportunity
to
address
that
portion
of
the
market,
and
then
the
comprehensive
plan
talks
about
homelessness,
housing
and
security,
and
the
importance
of
addressing
that
you
know
this
is
a
regional
issue.
It's
a
statewide
issue,
but
it's
also
a
blowington
issue
as
part
of
the
region
and
the
plan
talks
about
doing
bloomington's,
fair
share.
I
So
glenn,
you
know
some
residents
have
reached
out
to
me
and
they're
some
of
their
concerns
around
this
are
because
I
don't
think,
as
I
remember
reading,
through
the
comprehensive
plan,
we
don't
really
target
where
these
areas
are
at,
and
so
maybe
I
missed
it
in
there.
But
if
we
start
moving
down
this
pathway
of
looking
to
provide
these
congregate,
living
or
shelter
type
areas
in
bloomington,
you
know
normally
with
other
zoning
areas.
We
have
a
have
a
plan.
I
K
I
I
just
I
get
concerned
with
just
protected
classes
of
people
that
our
enforcement
seems
a
little
different
and
I
don't
necessarily
need
to
have
the
answer
now,
but
that's
something
that
I'll
be
looking
at
when
we
get
to
that
november.
Meeting
that
I'll
be
interested
to
see
what
her
commentary
is
on
that
once
we
get
to
that
point,.
J
Mayor
councilmember
lohman,
the
progressive
enforcement
model
is
something
the
city
applies
consistently
across
licensed
and
regulated
businesses
and
housing,
and
so
this
is
a
common
consistent
way
that
we
provide
enforcement
on
a
progressive
basis,
so
starting
very
at
the
very
beginning,
by
issuing
a
letter
notifying
the
owner
or
resident
that
they
are
in
violation
and
then
working
with
them
to
try
and
problem
solve
to
reach
a
successful
conclusion
that
does
not
include
further
enforcement.
So.
I
B
I
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
early
on
in
the
presentation
chief
potts
presented
the
schedule
that
showed
the
number
of
calls
to
various
establishments
and
recently
he's
been
able
to
define
medical
calls,
and
I
would
like
some
more
information
as
to
what
those
medical
calls
relate
to
are
they
do.
They
include
calls
for
things
such
as
drug
overdose
and
excessive
consumption
of
alcohol.
L
Those
those
numbers
with
the
asterisks
include
what
we'll
consider
a
medical
which
could
include
an
overdose
or
a
crisis,
call
that's
also
treated
as
a
medical
situation,
so
there's
a
wide
range
of
medicals.
It
can
be
somebody
who
is
experiencing
chest
pains.
It
can
be
somebody
who
is
experiencing
very
mild
medic
a
very
mild
medical
emergency,
so
I
don't
have
a
breakdown
of
the
specific
types
of
medicals.
The
short
answer
to
your
question
is:
yes,
it
does
include
overdose
calls.
It
includes
crisis
calls.
H
So
could
we
get
an
analysis
for
a
period
of
time
if
it's
october
september,
you
know
the
remainder
of
october
or
something
of
that
nature
into
how
many
are
what
I'll
call
non-self-inflicted
medical
calls,
as
opposed
to
the
other
medical
calls,
the
heart
attack
stroke.
You
know
slip
and
falls
those
types
of
things.
H
L
Quarters
mayor
and
council
member
beloga
we'll
have
to
scrub
that
data
and
look
at
the
individual
call
notes
on
each
one
of
them.
I
don't
even
want
to
hazard
a
guess
at
this
point
as
to
how
many
of
them
would
be
considered
what
you're
calling
self-inflicted
versus
other
types
of
medical,
but
we
can
certainly
look
closer
at
that
data
and
try
to
come
up
with.
H
What's
the
what's
the
counts
on
what
we
have
done
in
response
other
than
the
meetings
and
things
that
we've
discussed
already,
we've
talked
about
the
progressive
nature
of
our
dealing
with
violations
so
but
in
the
active
part
of
it.
Now
that
we're
at
the
six
month
stage,
how
many
letters
have
we
issued
two
institutions
and
then
how
many
notices
have
we
issued
and
and
I'm
not
sure
who
the
person
would.
J
Sorry,
mayor
council,
member
I'd
like
to
just
quickly
say
that
in
terms
of
excessive
consumption
notices
or
the
nin
process
that
the
city
uses,
these
are
for
property
owners
or
license
holders.
They
are
not
for
individuals,
and
that
goes
to
councilmember
lowman's.
Earlier
question
about
progressive
enforcement.
We
have
issued
one
nin
for
the
comfort
inn.
H
J
B
H
H
H
L
Mayor
councilmember
buloga-
that
is
you
know,
part
of
the
the
challenge
in
this
is
that
it's
a
it
is
a
frankly
difficult
to
kind
of
trace
those
all
of
those
calls
directly
to
a
particular
hotel.
So
what
what
you're
seeing
on
this
chart
is
a
breakdown
of
the
monthly
calls?
The
the
challenge
is
that
call
that
you're
talking
about
that,
we
received
the
email
on
while
we've
seen
calls
like
that.
L
An
increase
in
those
calls
increasing
those
types
of
emails
being
sent
to
the
city,
what's
hard
for
me
to
do,
is
produce
a
slide
that
shows
what
that
increase
looks
like,
but
you
you
are
correct
in
that
we
are
getting
those
emails
and
those
kinds
of
calls
on
somewhat
of
a
regular
basis.
And
again
it's
it's
very
difficult
to
attach
that
to
a
specific
hotel.
We
do
think
it
is
some.
H
It's
gotten,
to
the
extent
that
I
had
a
conversation
with
a
gentleman
who
I
personally
know
who
less
than
12
months
ago,
moved
into
one
of
our
bloomington
neighborhoods
came
from
richfield,
and
he
called
me
to
tell
me
that,
with
what's
going
on
in
the
neighborhood
he's
putting
his
house
up
for
sale
and
has
signed
a
listing
agreement,
I
mean
that
that's
not
something
that
people
do
lightly,
and
we
really
you
know,
I
I
feel
for
them.
I
don't
know
what
to
do
with
them.
L
Mr
mayor
councilmember
beloga,
we
will
continue
to
look
for
ways
to
track
that
and
find
ways
that
we
might
be
able
to
show
some
type
of
a
chart
or
some
data
again.
We'll
just
we'll
have
to
go
back
to
to
kind
of
how
we're
analyzing
our
cad
data
and
and
look
for
ways
to
track
calls
in
the
vicinity
of
some
of
those
hotels
and
see
what
you
come
up
with.
H
A
Now
I
guess
I'm
I
honestly
in
in
with
all
my
heart
believe
that
addiction
issues
and
mental
health
issues
are
indeed
health
issues,
and
I
don't
think
it's
correct
to
stigmatize
them
by
saying
these
are
self-inflicted
issues
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
These
are
health
issues,
addiction
and
mental
health
issues
are
certainly
health
issues.
A
Now
they
bring
with
them
a
different
set
of
circumstances
and
issues
than
what
we
think
about
traditional
health
issues,
whether
it's
a
terminal,
illness
or
something
that
would
make
it
you
know
make
someone
in
from
or
unable
to
leave
their
room.
It
certainly
brings
about
a
different
level
of
issue
when
you're
talking
about
specifically
about
medical
conditions,
but
I
wonder
if
we
could
have
that
discussion.
When
we
talk
about
the
homeless
individuals
at
higher
risk
for
quality,
19
based
on
age
or
medical
conditions,
I'm
wondering
staff.
J
J
But
hennepin
county
has
assured
us
that
the
in
particular
the
two
groups
that
they're
focusing
on
for
the
extended
stay
are
elderly
people
who
are
at
higher
risk
for
covid
and
people
who
are
considered
medically
vulnerable,
and
so
that
is
the
current
population
of
the
two
holiday
inn.
Hotel
sites
that
they
are
operating
and
the
people
who
will
move
into
the
extended
stay
site
are
coming
from
those
sites.
So
they're
already
people
who
are
in
shelter
in
bloomington
and
being
moved
into
this
more
a
longer
term.
Temporary
shelter
situation.
A
A
So
is
that
even
doable
under
what
we're
facing
right
now
from
state
law,
I
understand
that
eviction
can
take
place
for
for
criminal
offenses
or
for
use
of
narcotics
or
that
kind
of
thing.
But
if
we
get
to
the
point
where
we're
trying
to
close
down
a
specific
hotel
that
evicts
everybody
is
that
even
doable
is
that
even
is
that
even
something
we
have
in
in
our
in
our
toolkit
to
deal
with
this
based
on
the
realities
of
today?.
J
Mayor
bossie,
council
members,
I'm
going
to
ask
megan
to
speak
to
this
as
well.
I
think
this
is
an
area
of
where
there
is
not
a
good
body
of
case
law.
Yet
on
this,
because
the
attorney
general
had
ruled
a
few
weeks
ago
that
certain
people
living
in
hotel
shelters
had
tenants
rights.
So
if
she
could
speak
to
that,
that
would
be.
N
In,
as
we
looked
towards
the
revocation
process
and
again,
the
revocation
process
would
need
to
be
based
upon.
You
know:
finding
a
fact
that
a
council
that
it
was
no
longer
safe
to
operate
the
hotel
as
it
stood
by
the
information
that's
presented
to
you
at
that
point
in
time.
So
you
know
with
both
of
those
things
in
mind.
I
think
it's
a
it
would
be
a
collaborative
process
in
that
regard.
A
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that.
That's
it
doesn't
exactly
clarify
things,
but
at
least
under
understand
a
little
bit
better
where
it
might
be
coming
from,
and
the
final
notion
that
I
want
to
at
least
address
a
little
bit
is:
is
this
notion
that
that
that
somehow
we're
the
city
in
general
the
city
is
has
is,
is
just
hearing
this
and
we're
just
moving
forward
on
this
and
just
trying
to
react
to
this
in
some
way?
A
Also,
the
fact
that
this,
I
think
is
like
the
third
or,
I
believe,
maybe
even
the
fourth
meeting
in
a
row
that
we've
talked
about
this
and
it's
back
to
my
earlier
point.
This
is
a
difficult
situation
with
with
with
more
nuance
than
I
think,
then
we
can
really
put
our
heads
around,
especially
considering
that
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
global
pandemic
and
all
that
comes
with
it.
That
happens
once
every
100
years.
So
I
appreciate
the
the
concerns
that
we
we
hear
from
residents.
C
J
C
Okay,
so
that
that
I
guess
I
maybe
didn't
phrase
that
correctly-
that
would
be
the
case
for
this
or
the
the
extended
stay
specifically.
But
if
we
I
mean
this
is
I
mean
this
is
a
zoning
code
amendment.
So
then
this
goes
into
our
our
our
city
codes.
So
I
guess
the
answer
to
my
question
is:
is
for
lack
of
a
better
phrase.
Whoever
owns
the
hotel
is
that
correct.
C
C
J
Mayor
bussey,
councilmember
coulter,
there
are
no
other
hotels
who
could
apply
for
this
particular
interim
use
because
they're
not
in
the
right
zoning
district.
So
the
other
element
of
this
I
think
is
important
is
that
the
contract
contract
party,
the
provider,
cannot
apply
for
a
land
use
change
on
behalf
of
the
owner.
So
there
are
multiple
layers
of
restrictions
here.
If
you
will
on
the
the
land
use
itself
and
then
the
the
land
use
and
reguiding
rezoning
has
to
occur
prior
to
the
issuance
of
an
interim
use.
Permit.
C
C
My
concern
is
that
you
know
as
as
in
if
there
is
such
a
significant
spike,
and
you
know
how
do
we,
how
are
we
tracking
these
things
beyond
sort
of
calling
up
hotel
operators
and
trusting
that
they're
going
to
give
us
the
honest
truth,
I
I
guess
my
question
is
just
if,
if
we
are,
if
things
get
out
of
hand,
if
it's,
if
there's
just
a
lot
going
on,
what's
to
essentially
stop
a
hotel
operator
or
someone
just
saying
well,
you
know
we
just
lowered
our
rates
and
and
folks
showed
up.
Does
that
make
sense.
J
Mayor
busy
council
member
coulter,
I
I
appreciate
the
question
I
think
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
I
can
offer.
I
don't
have
a
single
answer
to
that
question,
but
the
things
that
I
would
offer
are,
first
of
all,
that
hennepin
county,
as
a
major
provider
of
shelter
in
the
west
metro,
is
purchasing
other
properties
to
utilize
for
shelter,
so
their
shelter
capacity
is
expanding
right
now,
and
that
is
directly
in
response
to
the
continued
sort
of
severity
of
the
pandemic.
J
The
last
thing
I
would
just
offer
is
that,
especially
as
as
it
regards
the
county's
intake
process,
they
are
attempting
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
right
beds.
The
right
facilities
for
people,
depending
on
their
situation,
and
one
area
that
continues
to
be
a
challenge
for
the
county
and
for
other
agencies
in
the
metro
area.
Is
the
existence
of
enough
treatment
beds
for
people
we're
either
experiencing
a
mental
health
crisis
or
a
drug
or
alcohol
addiction
crisis.
And
so
those
tend
to
be
the
most
difficult
beds
to
locate.
J
And
so
I
know
that
hennepin
county
is
also
trying
to
cite
treatment,
facilities
and
shelter,
beds
that
are
considered
low
barrier
for
people
who
are
actively
using
drug
and
out
drugs
and
alcohol
or
people
who
are
experiencing
a
mental
health
crisis.
And
so
they
are
attempting
to
expand
their
capacity
to
serve
those
clients
as
well.
And
so
it
is
difficult
to
look
into
a
crystal
ball
right
now
and
determine
what
will
happen
the
next
few
months.

It's
much
simpler
for
us
to
get
to
get
compliance
rather
than
to
issue
additional
fines
and
and
revoke
a
license.
So
that's
always.
Our
goal
is
to
try
and
get
compliance,
and
I
know
that
I
can
speak
for
community
development,
in
particular
environmental
health
and
bni,
we're
working
quite
a
bit
with
this
property
owner
to
get
compliance,
and
I
know
chief
potts
and
his
team
are
as
well.
D
J
Thank
you,
mayor
bowser,
council,
member
martin.
Really
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
that
I
think
I
think,
council
and
the
community
should
anticipate
that
there
will
be
a
slightly
higher
call
for
service
volume
on
these
properties
by
the
very
nature
of
the
services
that
they're
providing
the
population
they're
working
for.
We
may
see
additional
calls
in
these
locations
and
what
we
want
to
check
in
with
you
about
is:
do
you
have
a
comfort
level
with
that?
J
In
other
words,
knowing
that
we
might
not
go
back
to
2019
levels
of
calls
for
service
that,
in
fact,
we
may
see
a
fairly
consistently
higher
call
for
service
volume
on
some
of
these
properties,
despite
doing
things
like
active
24,
7
security
and
working
with
the
providers
to
ensure
that
the
buildings
themselves
are
secured,
this.
This
situation,
in
particular
with
the
comfort
inn.
J
It
draws
us
a
different
level
of
clientele
and
they're
coming
to
the
hotel,
looking
for
shelter
and
they're
being
told
to
return
downtown
to
hennepin
county
to
go
through
centralized
intake,
so
they're
they're
already
in
the
area,
and
sometimes
that
generates
a
call
for
service
and
I'm
not
sure
that
we
want
to
just
manage
expectations.
I'm
not
sure
that
it's
reasonable
to
expect
that
we
will
not
continue
to
see
some
behavior
in
those
in
those
locations
that
will
generate
police
calls.
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
and
mayor
just
one
more
quick
one.
If
I
may
so,
you
mentioned
a
security
plan
as
being
mandated
by
the
interim
use
permits.
I
know,
as
you
had
mentioned
earlier,
with
kind
of
the
scarcity
of
beds
for
folks
in
mental
health
crisis
or
chemical
dependency
is
having
access
to
stuff,
like
our
folks,
like
social
service
staff.
J
Mayor
busting,
council,
member
martin,
so
there's
two
really
two
different
buckets
here.
One
is
a
public
safety
bucket,
which
is
a
security
plan
and
that's
something
chief
potts
and
his
team
have
worked
with
hennepin
county
on
and
then
there's
a
separate
requirement
that
social
services
or
on-site
services
be
provided
to
the
residents
of
that
building.
So
both.
H
A
D
D
A
F
O
O
You
know
I
just
don't
want
to
I.
I
trust
that
that
will
happen,
but
I
guess
I
just
feel
the
need
to
say
it
out
loud,
because
I
would
hate
to
get
to
a
point
where
you
know
all
of
a
sudden.
We,
you
know,
there's
just
not
a
very
good
plan.
There's
not
a
great
plan
in
place
toward
the
end
of
this
two
years,
so
proactive
planning
you
know
and
and
then
also
these
these
conversations
at
the
state
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
strategic
approach,
a
strategic
statewide
approach.
I
I
mean
we
are,
you
know,
we're
becoming.
You
know
we're
moving
towards
being
much
more
of
an
urban
area
and
these
things
are
going
to
to
occur,
and
so
we
need
to
kind
of
look
at
how
we're
going
to
how
we're
going
to
house
this
group
this
this,
these
these
groups
of
folks
that
are
going
to
be
coming
to
bloomington.
I
I
always
talk
about
the
city
of
louisiana
being
a
a
place
of
choice
that
doesn't
that
doesn't
just
apply
to
those
folks
who
have
have
wealth
and
income.
I
think
that
applies
to
all
folks
up
and
down
on
down
that
ladder.
So
I
think
it
behooves
us
to
look
at
that
comprehensive
plan
and
see
where
these
folks
would
make
sense
to
live
within
the
city
and
and
have
a
real
real
conversation
about
it.
A
Well,
with
those
suggested
additions,
I
think
we
can
turn
to
staff
and
say
yes,
we
agree
with
the
following
objectives
that
are
listed
on
the
on
the
screen
in
front
of
us
that
staff
has
presented
and
to
continue
to
move
this
forward,
and
it
this
process
continues.
As
we've
said,
there's
there's
a
decision
coming
up
in
november.
Regarding
the
extended
stay
we
will
continue.
A
F
A
C
C
I
think
the
total
was
seven
people
showed
up,
most
of
whom
were
not
even
related
to
me.
It
was
just
a
great
conversation.
We
talked
about
a
lot
of
different
things,
including
a
lot
of
the
same
things
that
we
talked
about
tonight.
So
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
the
folks
who
participated
and
I'll
give
folks
an
update
on
that.
I
C
A
Hi
motion
carries
six
or
seven
zero,
depending
on
where
sean
is.
At
this
point,
we
are
officially
adjourned
thanks
much
for
the
discussion
this
evening
very
well
done.
I
thought
it
was
a
great
discussion,
thanks
again
to
staff
for
the
great
work
that
you
did
tonight
as
well,
and
thanks
to
the
hra
for
joining
us
also
have
a
good
night.
