Good

everyone

welcome
I
will
call
to

the
city
council
meeting
for
Monday
August
28
2023..
Thank
you

joining
us
here
in
the
council
chambers.
Thanks
for
everybody
watching
online
this
evening
we
will
start
our
meeting
as
we
always
do
with
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
If
you're
able
please

in
the
pledge,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of.
A
Once
again,
thank
you
to
everyone
with
us
this
evening.
Our
first
order
of
business
is
to
approve
tonight's
agenda
and
on
the
agenda
this
evening.
Under
our
introductory
items,
we
have
two
proclamations,
one
for
a
National
Suicide
Prevention
month
and
week
and
another
for
international
overdose,
Awareness
Day.
Also
under
our
introductory
items,
we've
got
a
a
Parade
of
Homes
Spotlight
city
award,
which
I'm
looking
forward
to
to
to
hearing
more
about
and
receiving
and
we'll
do.
Our
introduction
to
new
employees
is
item
2.4.
A
We
have
18
items
on
our
consent
business
this
evening.
Councilmember
Nelson
has
our
consent
agenda
under
item
four,
our
hearings,
resolutions
and
ordinances.
We
have
a
public
hearing
regarding
a
city
code
Amendment
for
murals,
our
murals
ordinance
and
the
supporting
policy,
and
then
we
have
a
second
item.
That
is
not
necessarily
a
public
hearing,
but
we
are
going
to
have
a
public
comment
opportunity
and
this
is
as
we
discuss
and
hopefully
accept
our
West
98th
Street
and
35W
study
report
under
organizational
business.
A
We've
got
three
items:
item
5.1
will
be
an
update
discussion
on
cannabis
legislation
and
how
it
affects
the
city
of
Bloomington
item.
5.2
is
an
update
on
our
2023
Municipal
elections
and
we'll
wrap
up
this
evening
with
item
5.3,
our
city
council
policy
and
issue
update
Council.
Any
additions
attractions
questions
about
tonight's
agenda.
A
A
A
And
whereas
the
Bloomington
Public
Health
division
is
a
member
of
the
Hennepin
County
Community
Health
Improvement
partnership,
which
has
identified
mental
health
and
well-being
as
a
priority
for
their
2019-2023
strategic
plan.
And
whereas
the
city
of
Bloomington
recognizes
organizations
such
as
suicide
awareness.
A
Signed
this
day,
this
20th
day
of
August
2023..
This
has
become
a
an
annual
Proclamation
here
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
one
I
think
that's
very
important
and
I'm
I'm,
always
honored
to
to
present
it
to
to
the
public
and
I.
Do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
to
thank
our
city
staff,
who
have
worked
so
hard
to
promote
Suicide,
Prevention
and
and
to
reduce
the
stigma
associated
with
suicide.
A
I
want
to
recognize
the
staff
that
have
been
personally
affected
by
the
loss
of
a
loved
one
due
to
suicide
and
for
those
that
have
been
impacted
by
attempted
suicide
or
suicide.
Ideation
I'd
also
like
to
highlight
a
few
resources
this
evening.
First,
a
reminder
that
help
is
just
a
call
or
a
text
away
for
anyone
in
a
mental
health
crisis.
Individuals
anywhere
in
this
country
can
call
or
text
988
for
help
the
National
Council
for
suicide
prevention
has
a
campaign
called
take
five
to
save
lives,
which
encourages
everyone
to
complete
five
action
steps.
A
A
You
can
also
tap
into
resources
through
the
city's
website
and
you'll
find
valuable
information
in
the
September
briefing,
and
we
have
a
couple
of
Representatives
who
I'd
like
to
call
forward
now
and
possibly
say
a
few
things
with
us.
This
evening
we
have
virtually.
We
have
Andrea
Perry,
the
community
engagement
and
Partnerships
coordinator
for
suicide
prevention,
with
the
Minneapolis
VA
Healthcare
System
and
in
person
two
folks
from
save
the
executive
director,
Eric
Michie
and
Jan
Owens,
the
senior
program
manager
with
us
this
evening.
A
A
E
E
D
All
right,
hopefully,
you
can
hear
me:
okay,
very
good,
so
good
evening.
Everybody
thanks
for
having
me.
My
name
is
Andrea
Perry
I'm,
a
registered
nurse
at
the
Minneapolis
VA
and,
more
importantly,
I'm
on
our
Suicide
Prevention
team,
I'm,
a
community
engagement
partnership
coordinator.
So
what
that
means
is
I'm
out
in
the
community
meeting
with
folks,
like
you
all
who
are
interacting
with
our
veterans,
service
members
and
their
families.
So
we
know
that
veterans
are
at
an
increased
risk
for
Dying
by
Suicide.
They
die
by
Suicide
1.5
times
more
often
than
their
civilian
counterparts.
D
So
we
also
know
that
the
majority
of
our
veterans
about
two-thirds
are
out
in
the
community
and
not
connected
or
being
seen
at
VA,
and
so
my
role
is
to
educate
the
community
that
everybody
has
a
role
and
we
all
have
a
role
to
play
in
suicide
prevention,
especially
with
our
veterans
and
so
by
educating.
You
know:
local
pastors
teachers,
maybe
an
employee
or
an
employer
of
a
veterans
and
then
also
various
employees
at
large
companies,
small
companies.
D
Anyone
who
would
interact
with
a
veteran
on
the
tools
that
it
takes
to
recognize
when
someone
has
feelings,
suicidal
or
thinking
about
suicide,
and
how
to
ask
that
question
and
then
how
to
get
them
to
resources.
So
this
is
a
great
opportunity
and
a
wonderful
movement
that
Bloomington
is
making
this
Proclamation
this
evening
and
I'm
very
pleased
and
happy
to
be
working
with
the
Bloomington
cares
group
and
team
to
try
to
bring
Community
Suicide
Prevention
efforts
for
our
veterans
into
Bloomington.
A
Thank
you
Andrea
and
Eric
and
Jan.
Thank
you
for
the
important
work
that
you
do
in
our
community
and
when
I
say
community
I
know
it's
much
bigger
than
Bloomington
and
I
appreciate
your
your
being
here
in
Bloomington,
an
important
part
of
our
Bloomington
Source
community
and
well
beyond.
So
thank
you
so
very
much.
Thank
you
appreciate
it
absolutely.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
E
A
G
A
Rapid
response
and
treatment
needs
across
the
three
cities,
and
whereas
the
city
of
Bloomington
recognizes
resources
such
as
the
988
National,
Suicide
and
crisis
Lifeline
for
people
experiencing
mental
health
through
substant
use
crisis
and
the
importance
of
knowing
when
and
how
to
access
and
use.
Naloxone.
I
think
I
said
that
correctly
and
whereas
the
date
of
August
31st
is
recognized
as
International
overdose,
Awareness
Day.
A
Now
therefore,
I'm
air
Tim
Bussey,
who
hereby
Proclaim
August
31st
2023
as
International
overdose,
Awareness
Day
in
the
city
of
Bloomington,
and
call
upon
the
people
of
Bloomington

this
day

slash
opioids
to

more
about
local
resources
and
bloomington's
approach
to
the
opioid
crisis
signed
this
day.
This
28th
day
of
August
2023.
A
I
I
These
are
two
of
our
home
builder
members,
who
are
doing
a
lot
for
our
board
and
through
their
companies
to
help
America
or
help
minnesotans
achieve
their
dream
of
home
ownership,
and
that
is
our
Central
Mission,
and
that's
why
we're
here
today
we
have
for
the
first
time
ever
created
the
pray
to
home
Spotlight
Community
award,
and
this
is
for
to
recognize
the
good
work.
The
city
of
Bloomington
is
doing
to
help
fulfill
our
mission
of
home
ownership
opportunities
for
all.
I
You
know
two
decades
and
really
the
actions
you
have
taken
as
a
council
to
make
Bloomington
a
home
for
more
minnesotans
by
modernizing
your
zoning
policies
is
really
why
we're
here
today,
and
so
as
part
of
the
75th
Anniversary.
We
wanted
to
present
to
you
the
first
ever
blue
or
home
Spotlight
award.
I
A
Well,
this
is
indeed
an
honor.
Thank
you,
so
very
much
for
this,
and
thanks
to
everyone
involved
through
the
Parade
of
Homes,
we're
we're
proud
of
the
work
that
we've
done
here
in
Bloomington,
and
it's
not
just
the
seven
of
us
who
sit
up
here.
It's
it's
the
outstanding
staff
leadership
that
we
have
it's
our
folks
in
on
the
executive
team.
A
It's
our
folks
working
daily
on
these
issues
that
have
have
really
made
a
difference
and,
as
I
said,
it's
it's
something
that
we're
proud
of
and
I
know
that
not
only
we
but
the
entire
city
of
Bloomington
every
time
I
bring
this
up
within
the
community.
The
work
that
we've
put
in
the
the
results
that
we
have
seen
over
the
past
few
years,
It
generally
generates
a
round
of
applause,
because
people
understand
the
importance
of

a
stable

clean
and
safe
home

night.

N
N
A
O
M
And
then
I'd
like
to
introduce
Erica,
Lee
Erica
joined
the
finance
team
as
an
accountant
serving
both
the
city
and
HRA.
She
eagerly
awaited
the
opening
of
this
position
for
the
past
year
because
she
wanted
to
be
more
involved
in
the
city
in
which
she
lives
and
it's
neighboring
communities
and
she's
very
grateful
to

Erica
decided
she
wanted.

She
is
currently
in
the
process
of
obtaining
her
master's
degree

time.
She
enjoys
playing
them
violent
and
is
preparing
to
audition
for
the
Bloomington
Symphony.
M
P
F
P
A
A
The
the
other
thing
that
I
am
just
gonna
to
mention
here
because
of
my
relationship
with
the
competitor
of
polar
semiconductor
item
3.12.
If
anybody
has
questions
on
that,
I
am
going
to
step
away
and
turn
over
the
mayoral
duties
to
councilmember
dalessandro.
If
and
I
will
step
away
and
wait
for
the
vote
to
happen.
If
nobody
has
questions
on
that,
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
just-
and
it
goes
to
a
vote.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
hold
it.
A
R
A
H
A
B
A
S
S
S
S
S
Just
wanted
to
call
attention
to
it:
I
I,
I've
been
I've
had
no
less
than
a
dozen
conversations
in
the
past
week
about
trees.
Some
people
are
upset
because
their
trees
are
dying
and
they
can't
like
get
them
down
fast
enough
and
they're
becoming
dangerous
because
they
may
die
and
then
fall
over
and
hurt
people.
S
S
You
know
we
can
carry
this
over
to
our
business
items
at
0.5
5.0,
so
I'll
do
that,
but
I
just
wanted
to
call
attention
anything
we
can
do
like
this
is
great,
and
so
I'm
really
appreciative
that
this
that
the
staff
is
looking
for
all
of
these
kinds
of
things
to
help
us
with
our
our
problem.
Right
now,
so.
A
Most
accounts-
remember
Alessandro,
second
by
council
member
Nelson
to
accept
item
3.15
on
the
consent,
business.
No
further,
Council
discussion
on
this.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
6-0.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
Nelson
well
done
we'll
move
on
to
item
four,
our
hearings,
resolutions
and
ordinances
item.
A
4.1
is
our
only
official
public
hearing
of
the
evening,
and
this
is
regarding
a
city
code
Amendment
regarding
murals
ordinance
and
supporting
policy
and
I
think
we
have
Mr
Nick
Johnson
from
our
planning
staff
of
via
WebEx
and
Glenn
marker
guard
here
in
person.
If
we,
if
we
run
into
any
technical
glitches.
T
Great
I'll
get
started
here
so
yeah
before
you
this
evening,
we're
presenting
both
an
ordinance
and
a
supplemental
policy
document
as
they
pertain
to
the
installation
of
murals
in
Bloomington.
By
way
of
background,
the
city
with
the
formation
of
the
creative
Place
making
commission
and
adding
the
director
has
become
more
involved
in
the
commissioning
and
installation
of
murals
over
the
last
few
years.
There's
more
interest
in
them.
T
So
really,
in
terms
of
the
official
start
of
this,
it
really
went
back
to
January
the
more
we
dug
into
murals.
We
were
planning
to
just
incorporate
changes
to
murals
as
part
of
our
broader
signed,
ordinance
update,
but
the
more
we
dug
into
it.
The
more
we
realized
it
was
actually
a
separate
matter.
They
do.
Those
two
things
do
need
to
speak
to
one
another,
but
really
it's
a
separate
policy
matter
that
necessitated
its
own
ordinance
and
supplemental
policy.
So
that's
really
where
it
started.
Was
those
study
sessions
back
in
January.
T
Since
then,
we've
been
working
on
our
standards
and
we've
taken
it
through
our
advisory
boards,
both
creative
Place
making
and
the
Planning
Commission.
So
we've
been
going
through
this
process
on
the
dates
on
the
screen
before
you
there.
One
other
thing
I
want
to
add
is
that
we
did
as
we're
doing
with
the
signed
ordinance.
We
did
consult
with
an
expert
legal
counsel
at
Green,
aspel,
John
Baker,
because
murals
and
signs
have
so
much
legal
considerations
with
respect
to
expression
and
some
of
the
sticky
wickets
that
relate
to
land
use
law.
T
We
did
want
to
get
feedback
from
this
expert
Council
in
these
matters
of
expression
and
First
Amendment
law.
So
I
do
want
to
point
that
out
that
that
did
occur
before
the
Planning
Commission
public
hearing
before
I
go
forward
too.
I
want
to
note
that
Kevin
taskey
is
on
the
call,
as
well
as
Alejandra
palinka.
So
should
you
have
questions
about
either
the
legal
components
or
the
creative
Place
making
components
there
in
support
of
me
here
on
the
call
as
well?
T
So
this
is
really
an
approach
where
you
you
adopt
the
hard
and
fast
rules
within
the
city
code
through
an
ordinance
and
then
have
the
supplemental
policy
as
a
means
to
help
administer
the
permit
program,
as
well
as
communicate
these
best
practices
to
installers
in
terms
of
just
installation
and
maintenance
and
other
things,
there's
some
design
standards
in
there
too.
But
hopefully
that
makes
a
little
bit
of
sense
in
terms
of
the
mural
ordinance
content
itself.
I'm
going
to
go
over
specifically
the
items
that
are
bold
here
on
your
screen.
T
I
certainly
can
take
questions
at
the
end.
If
there's
any
specifics
about
the
ordinance
but
we'll
just
kind
of
dig
right
into
that,
we
are
proposing
to
adopt
a
new
definition
of
murals
replacing
the
existing
definition.
One
thing
I
want
to
highlight
here
is
just
that
with
the
city's
Coatings
prohibition.
T
So
this
is
really
the
heart
of
the
matter
in
terms
of
the
the
greatest
barriers
within
city
code
that
relate
to
the
installation
of
murals
on
buildings,
the
city
code
prohibits
Coatings,
so
painting
on
primary
materials
and
then
there's
actually
explicit
language
that
does
not
allow
murals
to
be
installed
directly
on
the
exterior
surface
of
a
building.
So
both
of
these
things
need
to
be
addressed
in
order
to
allow
murals
to
go
forward
in
Bloomington.
T
T
I
don't
want
to
beat
around
the
bush
that
if
you
adopt
a
murals
policy
and
you
allow
folks
to
install
murals
on
their
buildings,
there
is
a
wide
array
of
expression
that
they
can
pursue
legally,
that
the
city
would
not
be
in
a
position
to
prohibit
just
on
the
basis
of
First
Amendment
considerations.
This
will
come
up
with
signs
later
on
this
year
as
well,
but
there
are
some
elements
of
expression
that
the
courts
have
upheld:
do
need
to
be
regulated
for
public
peace
and
safety.
T
So
I
do
want
to
highlight
this
list
of
prohibited
mural
types
and
note
that
John
Baker
with
green
aspel
reviewed
this,
as
well
as
our
our
legal
department
as
well,
so
imitating
official
traffic
signs
and
devices.
That's
clearly
can
be
a
concern
with
vehicles
passing
a
murals,
obscuring
or
concealing
life
safety
equipment.
So
this
was
important
to
the
fire
department
that
Emir
will
not
obscure
the
equipment
they
need
in
order
to
respond
to
a
safety
situation.
T
Fire
department
connections,
strobes
other
equipment
like
that,
and
then
this
gets
more
into
the
expression
components
so
inciting
or
producing
imminent
Lawless
action,
conveying
threats
of
violence
at
persons
or
groups,
and
then
sexual
conduct
or
conduct
in
a
patently
offensive
way.
So
those
are
the
things
that
the
Supreme
Court
have
upheld,
restriction
regulation
of
just
from
an
expression.
First,
amendment
perspective.
T
There
we
go
sorry
screen
froze
there
for
a
second,
so
in
terms
of
General
standards,
I'm
only
going
to
highlight
one
of
these.
Certainly
we
can
return
to
these
if
there
are
questions,
but
the
the
one
of
greatest
interest
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
one
that
maybe
is
the
most
relevant
to
discuss
here
tonight-
is
just
limiting
the
amount
of
a
building
that
could
be
eligible
for
mural
installation,
we're
proposing
a
maximum
of
50
percent
of
the
total
building
elevations,
and
that's
that
you
know,
provides
an
adequate
canvas.
T
It
allows,
for
you,
know
a
fairly
large
mural
in
many
cases
to
be
installed,
but
also
does
provide
some
boundaries
in
terms
of
honoring
still
the
Coatings
restriction,
but
also
just
the
maintenance
considerations
for
a
building
going
forward.
The
fifty
percent
number
we
went
back
and
forth
with
creative
Place
making
and
other
folks
quite
a
bit
on
that.
We
think
it
represents
the
best
kind
of
balance,
point
of
where
to
go
with
that
one
other
standards,
height
projection,
signage
lighting,
motion
and
flashing.
T
Some
of
these
things
very
much
are
in
line
with
what
we'll
we
plan
to
bring
forward
to
you.
As
part
of
our
sign
ordinance,
while
they
are
separate
they're,
both
our
expression,
we
do
want
to
have
some
syncing
up
or
some
consistency
between
those
policies
in
terms
of
Maintenance.
That's
pretty
straightforward,
but
the
the
key
considerations
in
the
ordinance
is
to
give
staff
the
tools
needed
to
ensure
that
a
mural,
if
it
were
to
fall
in
a
state
of
disrepair,
give
us
the
tools
in
order
to
seek
correction
of
that
situation.
T
C
T
So
as
I
noted,
creative
Place
making
and
Planning
Commission
both
reviewed
this
policy
on
multiple
occasions,
they
both
were
very
supportive.
The
creative
placement
commission
did
submit
a
letter
of
support.
It
was
within
your
packet
and
the
policy
and
the
Planning
Commission
held
a
public
hearing
on
August
the
3rd.
No
one
spoke
at
the
meeting
or
during
the
hearing,
I
should
say,
and
that
following
discussion,
the
Planning
Commission
did
unanimously
recommend
approval.
A
A
Specifically,
it
says
under
area
limited
to
50
of
entire
building.
The
biggest
mural
we
have
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
is
not
on
a
building.
It's
on
a
wall
and
and
I've
also
seen
some
pretty
effective,
murals
painted
on
on
streets,
for
example,
or
parking
lots.
How
is
is
this
is
limiting
it
to
and
and
specifying
entire
building
elevation
wall
I
mean
is,
that
is
that
the
correct
way
to
define
and
limit
the
area
that
that
may
be
painted,
or
maybe
used
for
a
mural.
T
Yeah
mayor,
thank
you
for
that
question.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
clarify
that,
so
this
provision
staff
would
interpret
that
only
to
be
applicable
to
buildings,
so
those
are
structures
that
have
you
know:
Four
Season
conditioned
space
so
screen
walls,
other
infrastructure
out
in
the
public,
right-of-way
that
this
this
provision
would
not
be
applicable
to
that.
So
in
terms
of
limiting
it
to
50,
you
know
on
let's
say
at
the
excel
at
the
Northeast
Excel
substation
there.
This
this
provision
would
not
be
applicable
because
it
is
strictly
applicable
to
buildings.
T
S
Dalessandro,
just
a
quick,
actually
a
quick
follow-up
question
on
the
same
topic:
if
I
may,
why
do
we
care,
like
honestly,
like
I,
feel
sometimes
like
we
artificially
limit
our
like
these
kinds
of
things
and
I
didn't
understand
the
justification
for
no
more
than
50
other
than
like
somebody
said
that
but
I,
don't
I,
guess
I,
don't
understand,
like
the
Practical
implication
of
that.
If,
if
I'm,
an
owner
of
a
building
and
I,
want
the
entire
thing
on
one
side
to
be
a
mural
like,
why
do
I
care
like?
A
I'll,
let
Mr
Johnson
answer
that,
although
the
way
this
is
written
the
way
I'm
reading
it,
it's
limited
to
50
of
an
entire
building
elevation.
So
if
you're
thinking
four
walls,
you
know
you
could
completely
paint
or
completely
mural
two
of
them
right
or
you
know,
I
think
that
that
would
be
50
of
the
four
walls.
T
This
fifty
percent
yeah
mayor
councilmember
dalessandro.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
I
think
there's
some
members
of
the
Planning
Commission,
who
concur
with
you
and
on
your
assessment
of
that,
and
if
I
can
explain
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
what
the
thinking
was
on
some
limitation.
One
is
just
the
simple
fact
of
the
the
Coatings
prohibition,
and
so
staff
on
some
level
felt
that
going
going
toward
the
full
mural
of
an
entire
building
could
be
a
potential
way
to
circumvent
the
Coatings
prohibition
or
makes
that
policy
more
tenuous.
T
From
the
perspective
of
maintaining
that
position,
the
second
thing
just
had
to
do
more,
with
general
maintenance,
with
the
ability
to
install
murals
on
the
full
entirety
of
a
building.
It
just
sets
a
very
a
much
larger
higher
maintenance
responsibility
on
the
property
owner,
and
there
was
some
discussion
and
questions
at
the
Planning
Commission
about
you
know
the
the
sale
or
the
sale
of
buildings
that
had
a
mirror.
T
Also
from
that
perspective,
it
was
just
seen
as
a
way
to
kind
of
limit
the
proportionality,
as
it
relates
to
maintenance,
but
also
just
the
you
know
how
much
kind
of
a
new
owner
would
be
assuming
from
a
responsibility
standpoint.
So
it's
certainly
an
area
that
the
city
could
go
in
a
different
direction.
S
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
A
quick
follow-up
question
to
related
to
another
comment:
I
had
based
on
what
you
just
said
there
as
well,
so
in
transferring
ownership
from
building
a
to
Building
B.
Is
there
anything
that
we're
pro
that
we
are
requiring
the
new
building
owner?
You
mentioned
maintenance,
but
if
the
building
owner
wanted
to
completely
paint
over
the
mural,
is
that
they're
right
then,
as
the
new
building
owner?
Is
there
anything
related
to
I
guess
to
the
public
art
aspect
of
a
mural
that
we
are
trying
to
preserve.
T
Yeah
I
remember
mayor
councilman
Alessandro.
Thank
you
for
the
question
again.
So
in
terms
of
what
the
responsibility
would
be
of
the
new
owner,
it
would
be
to
keep
the
mural
in
a
state
of
good
repair
if
they
wanted
to
go
away
from
that
mural.
The
way
the
policy
is
set
up
now
is
to
try
and
work
with
staff
to
arrive
at
some
type
of
way
to
remove
the
mural
or
to
restore
the
exterior
exterior
material.
T
R
Thank
you
mayor.
Just
a
couple
questions
just
for
clarification.
The
permit
would
be
issued
just
based
on
the
standards.
There's
no
aesthetic
review
of
it.
You
know
they
wouldn't
be
up
to
the
manager
to
say
I,
really
don't
like
this
mural.
It
would
be
just
based
on
these
standards
and
I
got
that
question
from
someone
who
does
murals.
They
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
Mr
Johnson
mayor.
T
Council,
member
Nelson,
that's
correct.
The
city
would
not
be
in
any
good
position,
legally
speaking
to
be
looking
at
the
content
Beyond,
those
five
things
that
I
mentioned
in
the
prohibited
mural
types
anything
else
like
that,
getting
into
aesthetic
tastes,
we
would
not
be
in
sound
standing
to
make
any
type
of
judgment
or
action
on
a
mural
permit
on
those
bases,
and
we
we
just
wouldn't
go
there.
So
that's
why
I
mentioned.
R
Right,
the
second
question
has
to
do
with
safety.
What
tools
might
we
have
if
there's
a
safety
issue
and
and
I
bring
this
up,
because
some
of
you
may
remember
in
the
mid
90s,
there
was
a
mural
in
Chicago
that
caused
extraordinary
traffic
problems
on
the
freeway
and
some
accidents.
It
was
a
Dennis
Rodman
was
on
the
side
of
a
building
and
I
happened
to
drive
through
Chicago
frequently
at
that
time.
R
So
do
we
have
anything
we
could
do
if
somebody
put
something
up
that
I
mean
there
were
literally
people
stopping
on
the
freeway
and
blocking
traffic
to
take
a
photo
of
it.
Do
we
have
any
tools
or
options
if
there's
something
that
is
that
much
of
a
a
public
nuisance
and
creating
a
hazardous
situation?
T
Yeah
mayor
councilmember
Nelson,
thank
you
for
that
question.
So
the
the
Dennis
Rodman
thing
threw
me
up
for
a
loop
or
whether
that
was
not
what
I
was
expecting
that
to
be,
but
but
in
our
prohibited
mural
types
we
do
have
a
things
that
are
called
out
that
do
confuse
motor
vehicle
operators
view
just
from
a
traffic
perspective.
T
So
I
guess
if
there
was
a
mural
at
a
a
high
volume
roadway
along
a
high
volume
roadway,
we
certainly
would
bring
in
our
traffic
staff
to
have
them
look
at
it
just
to
get
their
take
on
whether
or
not
the
mural
would
appear
to
intimate
any
official
traffic
sign
or
be
a
concern
from
a
traffic
safety
hazard
standpoint.
We
also
have
in
addition
to
that,
so
in
number
three
we
also
do
have
murals
that
could
produce
imminent
Lawless
action.
R
And
my
last
question
relates
to
that
content
question.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
Bloomington
doesn't
have
are
Billboards
and
is
this
a
way
with
buildings
in
the
side
of
buildings,
particularly
adjacent
to
free
ways
to
sort
of
circumvent
that
I
know?
There
are
some
prohibitions
with
regards
to
logos
and
branding,
and
things
like
that.
But
there's
probably
in
my
mind
other
speech
and
images,
and
things
like
that
that
could
go
there
is.
Is
that
a
concern
that
you
have?
T
Yeah
mayor
council,
member
Nelson,
non-commercial
speech
is
always
going
to
be
a
little
bit
trickier
than
commercial
speech
and
the
reason
I
say
that
is
that
within
the
ordinance
itself,
we're
proposing
a
10
limitation
on
you
know
the
elements
of
a
mural
that
can
constitute
a
sign,
so
there
is
that
size
limitation
there.
The
sign
ordinance,
of
course,
would
also
have
separate
and
parallel
limitations
on
size
of
commercial
messages,
things
that
clearly,
under
our
definitions,
would
be
assigned.
So
those
things
are,
those
things
are
helpful.
T
T
Of
the
the
driver
for
Billboards
Billboards,
mostly
for
the
standpoint
or
off-premises
science,
right,
they're,
advertising,
products
or
services
that
don't
that
well,
there
is
no
building
associated
with
the
billboard
so
but
they're
typically
advertising
things
that
don't
exist
in
that
area,
the
one
that
you
bring
up
in
terms
of
either
a
political
message
or
some
other
form
of
non-commercial
speech.
That
is
a
little
bit
trickier,
certainly
and
that's
something
that
we'll
have
to
work
with
our
legal
staff
on
continuing
to
monitor.
But,
yes,
there
is
limitations
within
the
policy
on
signage.
T
U
V
T
Yeah
mayor
council,
member
Lowman,
so
on
the
front
end
of
things
before
we
would
issue
a
permit,
so
that's
where
we
would
be
reviewing
whether
or
not
the
content
violates
any
of
those
five
elements
of
the
prohibited.
Mural
types
and
that's
you
know
that's
where
we
really
need
to
kind
of
stop
it
in
its
tracks.
T
V
T
Yeah
mayor
councilmember,
Lowman
I
mean
not
fully
understanding
the
nature
of
the
complaint
on
the
part
of
the
public
or
what
the
concern
is.
If
it's
a
safety
issue,
that's
that's
one
thing
that
we
would
certainly
work
with
them
to
address.
If
it's,
if
it's
a
concern
about
just
content
generally,
you
know
I,
don't
like
this
particular
work
of
art
for
XYZ
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
the
city
would
be
in
a
good
position
to
have
them.
Remove
that
or
effectuate
a
different
outcome.
W
May
remembers:
Kevin
can
certainly
weigh
in,
but
it
sounds
to
me
like
if
it's
a
private
mural
there's
going
to
be
a
private
right
of
action
against
the
property
owner,
you
know
be
it
a
copyright
or
a
logo
infringement
or
if
somebody
was
misusing
somebody's
facial
representation
or
something
like
that.
There
are
lots
of
private
remedies.
Kevin,
you
want
to
add
anything
more
yeah.
X
Mayor
councilmember
Lowman
there's
criminal
nuisance
too,
and
that
would
have
more
to
do
on
the
effect
it
has
on
drivers.
Pedestrians,
neighboring,
Property,
Owners
things
like
that
I'll
save
the
case
live
looked
at,
is
kind
of
there's,
not
a
lot
out
there
on
that
theory
of
Prosecuting
criminally
there's
a
criminal
nuisance
statute
and
state
law
in
chapter
609,
but
you
know
we'd
have
to
document
exactly
what
was
going
on
make
sure
we
did
that
and
then
you
could
try
to
prosecute
based
on
that.
X
But,
like
I
said
the
case,
law
is
scant
on
that.
So
that's
one
Theory
there's
also
private
nuisance
actions
where
a
neighbor
property
owner
could
say
hey.
This
is
so
bad
that
it's
affecting
my
property.
My
people
don't
want
to
come
to
my
building.
That
would
be
available
through
private
action,
so
there's
those
two
things:
public
versus
private
private,
a
little
easier
than
public
to
do.
Probably
so
you.
V
Know
sometimes
murals
don't
age
with
time,
and
sometimes
you
find
out
things
are
offensive.
You
know
at
times.
That's
the
only
reason
why
I
ask
that
and
then
the
other
question
just
so
I
understand
so,
for
example,
if
you
have
a
nude
human
being,
would
that
be
prohibited
to
do
something
you
can
do
help
me
just
so
I
understand
and
then
the
other
one
I
had
is,
let's
say
the
person's.
You
know
smoking
a
cigarette
or
some
other
illegal
substance
or
drinking
alcohol.
V
X
Yeah
mayor
councilmember,
Lowman
I
have
seen
that
in
other
ordinances
with
murals
and
signage
depictions
of
illegal
activities,
I
don't
like
that.
I
think
it
goes
a
little
bit
too
broad.
For
you
know
what
the
Supreme
Court
has
said
is
unprotected
I
think
it
delves
a
little
too
far,
because
the
court
will
look
at
that
and
say:
hey
you're
you're
over
broad
here
you're
doing
a.
V
V
You
know
if
that
kind
of
you
know
is
that
a
way
for
us
to
if
we
run
into
a
situation
where
it's
over
the
50,
you
know
or
it's
under
the
50
of
us,
trying
to
control
it
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out.
What's
the
rationale
behind
that
of
that
50
and
and
certainly
I
could
go
along
with
it
today,
but
I
think
we
need
to
kind
of
think
about
that
I
mean
if
that's
something
we
really
want
to
kind
of
kind
of
keep
that
going.
V
Y
Councilmember,
thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
My
question
is,
along
that
same
line
of
recourse
that
the
city
would
have
especially
recourse.
If
we
issue
the
permit,
there's
really
nothing.
We
can
do
right
once
it
goes
up.
We've
issued
it
and
approved
it.
If
90
of
the
residents
are
the
the
area
around
them
are
complaining
about
it.
The
only
pathway
they
have
is
a
public
or
or
a
private
recourse.
Is
that
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
correct.
X
Yeah
Mr
Mayor
council
member,
that
would
be
correct.
They
would
have
a
private.
You
know.
Neighboring
property
owner
could
have
a
private
cause
of
action.
It
would
depend
on
the
effect
on
the
public
right.
If
people
just
don't
like
the
message
or
the
content,
it
would
be
a
little
harder,
but
if
it's
really
causing
you
know
people
to
damage
property
or
have
really
negative
reaction,
the
city
might
be
able
to
take
action
at
that
point.
It
would
just
depend
on
the
circumstances,
so
it
gets
muddy.
I
would
say.
Y
Second
question:
if
I
could
mayor
I've
read
in
the
the
the
the
presentation,
this
isn't
limited
to
certain
zoning
correct,
so
this
could
happen
anywhere
in
the
city.
Could
be
residential
house
could
be
commercial?
District
would
love
to
just
hear
more
about
that
rationale.
I
know
we
have
very
broad
spread
out
commercial
areas.
We
don't
have
one
distinct
downtown
area,
but
just
would
love
to
hear
more
of
that
rationale,
especially
because
we
are
such
a
large
residential
City,
how
that
could
impact
certain
neighborhoods
and
their
character,
and
that
kind
of
thing.
T
Yeah
mayor
councilmember
MOA,
thanks
for
that
question,
I
do
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
that
so
you're
correct
and
that
some
cities
do
limit
the
ability
to
install
murals
to
say
a
downtown
CBD.
You
know
business
district
type
setup,
as
you
noted,
bloomington's
land
use
and
commercial
Enterprises
are
kind
of
scattered
throughout
the
whole
community.
So
so
that's
kind
of
one
thinking
behind
that.
You
know
our
industrial
sites,
our
commercial
sites.
T
All
of
these
may
have
interest
in
pursuing
a
mural
in
terms
of
why
not
to
restrict
them
from
residential
districts.
It's
kind
of
a
Nuance,
more
maybe
Bloomington
zoning
code,
but
a
lot
of
non-residential
uses
are
allowed
in
our
residential
districts,
including
government
facilities,
fire
stations,
Parks
places
of
assembly,
and
so
our
thinking
in
terms
of
not
to
include
a
locational
restriction
on
it
was
that
you
know
there
could
be
a
scenario
we
wouldn't.
T
We
could
Envision
that
one
of
these
types
of
uses
would
be
interested
in
pursuing
a
mural
in
terms
of
you
know:
single-family
homes
or
other
or
other
residential
uses.
Many
of
those
are
actually
there
is,
is
not
a
coding
prohibition
on
those
sites.
Today
so,
in
effect
absent
this
proposed
policy,
there's
there's
no
regulation
currently
on.
If
a
resident
wanted
to
install
a
mural
on
their
home,
you
know,
should
this
were
to
pass,
then
they
would
have
to
pursue
the
same
mural
permit
process
as
anyone
else
the
you
could
consider.
T
You
know
limiting
mural
installation
to
kind
of
non-residential
buildings
in
the
residential
zoning
districts.
But
again
it's
just.
How
far
do
you
want
to
go,
and
you
know
or
mural
is
inappropriate
at
all
residential
sites?
I
don't
know,
but
that's
definitely
a
policy
decision
that
the
council
should
make.
T
A
A
V
A
By
councilmember
Lowman,
second
by
council
member
mua
to
close
the
public
hearing
on
item
4.1
this
evening,
no
further
Council
discussion
on
this.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
motion,
carries
6-0
Council.
So
what
are
your
thoughts
on
this
I've
heard?
A
couple
of
folks
who
indicate
perhaps
that
50
is
a
bit
restrictive,
I
I!
A
Think
if
we'd
want
to
bump
that
up,
I
don't
know
if
it
would
be
appropriate
to
maybe
table
this,
send
it
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
to
get
their
feedback
on
this
as
well,
because
they
didn't
they
did
pass
this
with
the
50.
Although
I
think
Mr
Johnson
said
that
they
were
open
to
the
conversation
of
100
thoughts
on
this,
how
how
would
we
like
to
move
forward?
Is
there
enough
enough
of
a
desire
to
eliminate
the
limit
of
50
of
an
entire
building
elevation
wall
area.
V
Lawman
well,
yeah
I
mean
I,
haven't
heard
of
rational
as
to
why
we
should
keep
it
I
mean
you
know
anything
more
than
you
know,
50
or
60
or
20
or
I
mean
I.
Don't
I,
don't
understand
why
we'd
want
to
keep
it
so
yeah
I
think
it's
worth
having
a
additional
conversation
about
that.
There's
a
couple
other
items
I
would
like
to
see
us
look
at
too
as
well.
Councilmember
as.
A
Well,
I
would
think
the
only
the
only
possible
thing
given
the
conversation
as
it
progressed
here,
limiting
it
to
50
if
it
is
in
a
residential
area,
if
it's
someone's
home
and
they
put
some
sort
of
wacky
work
of
art,
a
mural
on
their
entire
house,
does
it
affect
the
property
values
of
the
of
the
neighbors?
You
know:
does
I
I,
don't
know
it
are
murals
like
any
other
art
I
mean
it's
kind
of
in
the
eye
of
the
beholder
and
so
I
don't
know.
A
S
With
their
Mr
Mayor,
thank
you
would
there
be
a
maybe
a
better
way
to
address
that
would
be
to
apply
that
standard
to
a
certain
Zone
like
R1,
and
then
you
don't
have
it
on
the
other
places.
So
to
your
point,
you
would
kind
of
effectively
solve
the
problem
in
a
more
residential
area.
If
you
thought
the
50
threshold
was
for
that
purpose,
and
then
you
would
have
all
the
other
areas
wouldn't
have
that
restriction.
I,
don't
know,
I
mean
I,
I,
think
I
think.
S
Ultimately,
we
have
signs
today,
like
people,
people
are
not
prohibited
today
from
hanging
signs
from
their
home.
There's
a
really
offensive
one
in
District
three.
Today,
that's
been
up
there
since
around
about
2020,
and
you
know
they
have
every
right
to
have
it
on
their
property,
and
so
you
know
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
Voltaire
or
whoever.
But
you
can
disagree
with
what
somebody
says,
but
you
defend
their
right
to
say
it
right,
and
this
is
free
speech
so
that
that's
the
only
that's
one
of
the
main
reasons.
S
I
was
kind
of
uncomfortable
with
the
Restriction.
It
just
seemed
kind
of
arbitrary
and
restrictive,
or
not
a
good
reason,
but
if,
if
we
want
to
do
that,
maybe
we
maybe
we
put
that
restriction
on
up
on
a
permit
basis
based
on
zone
or
something
like
that
to
kind
of
minimize
that
impact
that'd
be
an
option
for
us.
A
W
B
F
B
I'm
sending
this
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
to
get
their
opinion
on
eliminating
the
50
I,
don't
know
if
I
would
be
comfortable
having
certain
requires
and
requirements
in
residential
areas,
because
we
don't
currently
have
those
requirements,
and
so
it
seems
like
we're.
You
know
creating
something
that
maybe
not
isn't.
Quite
it
isn't
needed
right
and
so
I
don't
think.
I
would
want
to
go
that
route,
but
but
I
am
open
to
revisiting
or
having
the
Planning
Commission
revisit
the
maximum
area.
50.
S
S
That's
another
option
is
to
to
get
the
you
know
allow
the
creative
Place
making
folks
the
wherewithal
to
start
some
of
the
projects
they
want
to
start
potentially,
if,
if
they
I
know
they
put
in
a
letter
of
support,
so
maybe
they
have
some
things
in
the
works
that
are
currently.
You
know
kind
of
stuck
behind
us
not
having
this.
S
A
And
that
I
don't
know
and
and
I
want
to
be
clear,
the
the
notion
to
send
it
back
would
be.
We
don't
need
to
we're
not
required
to
I
think
it's
more
of
a
courtesy
kind
of
thing
to
get
the
planning
commission's
thoughts
on
it.
But
if,
if
this
Council
would
like
to
eliminate
that
50
limit,
we
could
certainly
do
that
on
our
own.
H
T
AA
T
You
and
mayor
if
if
I
may
just
provide
one
last
feedback
and
please
the
nature
the
nature
of
the
Planning
Commission
discussion,
I
mean
I,
think
it
wasn't.
I
wouldn't
describe
the
50
limitation
as
something
that
they
were
strongly
in
favor
of
I.
Think
the
the
discussion
broke
down.
A
kind
of
you
know
a
4-3.
T
You
know
right
down
the
middle
kind
of
way
and
I
I
would
look
to
miss
manderscheid
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
it's
appropriate
to
send
it
back,
but
I
think
that
there
was
definitely
a
willingness
on
their
partner
and
I.
Don't
intend
mean
to
speak
for
them,
but
a
willingness
to
look
for
look
at
that,
but
in
terms
of
just
the
nature
of
the
discussion
and
kind
of
why
staff
was
looking
at
that.
Is
that
I
very
much
think
of
this?
T
Something
as
like
a
crawl,
walk,
run
kind
of
thing
right
now
we
don't
allow
murals
at
all,
it's
just
completely
prohibited,
and
so
this
was
seen
as
just
a
way
to
kind
of
you
know
dip
our
feet
in
the
water
and
get
started,
and
they
what
they
asked
us
to
do
is
continue
to
track.
If,
if
this
should,
if
this
provision
becomes
a
problem,
we
want
to
change
it
moving
forward
in
the
future
and
just
from
working
with
Alejandra
palinka
and
others.
We
we
felt
that
the
50
percent,
while
that
number
seems
somewhat
restrictive.
T
It
was
kind
of
consensus
reach
amongst
our
group
that
you
know
well
over
90
percent
or
95
percent
of
the
desired
murals
would
not
have
no
problem.
You
know,
abiding
by
that
restriction,
mural
installation
is
actually
you
know
very
expensive,
and
so
to
do.
A
full
building
would
be
would
be
a
unique
situation.
V
AA
V
That's
where
I
sort
of
kind
of
have
the
question
you
know
you
know:
what
are
we
trying
to
attempt
to
do
here?
You
know
do
we
are
we
are
we
in
favor
of
lighting
murals?
You
know
kind
of
happen
and
take
place
here
or
are
we
you
know
want
to
kind
of
slow
walk
our
way
into
this,
so
I
I.
Personally,
think
that
you
know
you
can't
hurt
to
send
it
back
to
to
planning
to
have
a
look
at
that
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
I
am
just
a
little
more
interested.
V
Some
of
these.
You
know
what
do
we
do
if
something
offensive
gets
up
there
and
we
somehow
learn
about
that
and
how
do
we?
How
do
we
address
that?
I
really
want
to
have
a
solid?
You
know
I
mean
maybe
it
will
never
happen,
but
but
I'd
hate
to
not
have
that
discussion
or
look
at
that
a
little
more
seriously
before
we
go
ahead
and
do
this,
especially
if
we
go
beyond
50
and.
A
A
One
of
the
next
last
points
I
think
made
good
sense.
I
mean
the
whole
crawl
walk
run
kind
of
thing.
If
we've
not
done
this
before
I
wonder
if
we
accept
what
the
Planning
Commission
approved
earlier,
we
move
forward
with
this
knowing
full
well
if,
in
the
first
year
we
get
five
asks
to
do
a
100
mural
that
we
we
look
at
this
again,
we
reconsider
it.
A
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
point
that,
yes,
murals,
are
expensive
kind
of
things
to
do
expensive
to
maintain
and
that
the
50,
while
it's
a
limited
also
it
gives
people
it
gives
them
the
palette
to
work
on
and
the
understanding
of
what
that
palette
can
be.
And
if
we
have
more,
if
we
have
people
coming
forward
and
saying
nope,
we
need
we
need
more,
more
more
I
think
we
could
reconsider
this,
but
it
might
make
sense
to
Simply
move
forward
with
what
the
Planning
Commission
recommended
to
us.
A
Most
of
my
council
member
Alessandro,
second
by
council
member
Carter,
to
adopt
the
ordinance
and
the
supporting
policy
amending
the
definition
of
a
mural
and
establishing
new
standards
and
procedures
for
installing
murals
in
Bloomington.
No
further
console
discussion
on
this.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
I
motion,
carries
five
to
one
with
council
member
Lowman
in
opposition
council
member
dalessandro.
We
need
summary
publication.
We
do
okay,.
S
A
Of
my
council
member
dalessandro,
sanctioned
by
councilmember
Carter
for
summary,
publication,
no
further
Council
discussion
on
this.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
6-0
well.
Thank
you.
Thanks
to
the
staff
for
the
work
on
this.
Thanks
for
the
discussion,
Council
and
and
I
do
think.
If,
if
this
comes
back
to
us
in
a
year
two
years,
however
many
it
is,
and
people
saying
no,
we
we
want
to
paint
the
whole
darn
building.
We
can
have
that
discussion.
Then
I
think
that
works.
A
We
will
move
on
to
item
4.2
on
our
agenda.
This
is
continuing
the
discussion
for
our
West
98th,
Street
and
35W
study
report.
Mr,
Kirk
Roberts
is
here,
I
think
we're
going
to
discuss
it
a
bit
more
and
discuss
whether
or
not
the
council
would
like
to
accept
the
report,
and
we
do
have
a
public
comment
opportunity
on
this
as
well.
Mr
Roberts
good
evening
welcome
good.
AB
AB
We
also
wanted
to
be
sure
that
the
resulting
design
could
maintain
capacity
into
the
future,
including
to
accommodate
the
city's
vision
for
the
area
such
as
the
Lindale
retrofit
and
the
associated
traffic
from
that,
as
well
as
some
development
options.
The
city's
looking
at
for
Transit
oriented
development.
AB
The
corridor
also
has
significant
pedestrian
traffic
and
bicycle
traffic
is
increasing
as
Trails
thread
their
way
through
the
area
we'd
like
to
see
if
we
can
make
conditions
better
for
non-motorized
users
and,
lastly,
we
wanted
to
address
the
safety
issues
for
everyone
on
the
corridor.
There's
some
known
safety
issues
there
and
so
Council
as
a
result
of
the
study.
This
is
what
we've
got.
AB
AB
It's
a
plan
that
has
opportunity,
as
mentioned
the
Housing
and
Redevelopment
Authority
and
Metro
Transit,
are
looking
at
some
Transit
oriented
development
options
in
the
area.
This
plan
looks
at
those
evaluates
those
and
helps
accommodate
those
now,
including
some
housing
options
geared
towards
Transit
dependent
populations.
AB
It
also
makes
way
for
the
city's
vision
for
land
use
in
the
area.
As
I
mentioned,
the
Lindale
retrofit
plan
renewal
we've
identified
19
million
in
potential
projects
that
would
like
to
start
building
over
the
next
20
years.
Hopefully
we'll
do
sooner
than
that.
The
first
of
those
will
will
come
likely
in
2026.
AB
AB
I
appreciate
the
council
and
the
Public's
time
to
hear
this
issue
to
discuss
this
issue
tonight,
but
I
also
just
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
come.
Call
on
the
my
colleagues
and
brag
on
my
colleagues
at
the
Bloomington
Housing
and
Redevelopment
Authority
in
the
Port
Authority
engineering
has
been
the
public
face
for
this
study
and
not
a
very
lovely
face
when
I'm
self-respected
in
looking
inward
and
their
partnership
and
their
heavy
lifting
on
this
has
been
really
key
to
making
a
good
study
that
will
guide
the
city's
Vision
into
the
future.
AC
Mayor,
thank
you,
council
members,
moving
forward
on
the
study
just
providing
some
background
on
it.
We
did
have
a
lot
of
Engagement
opportunities
throughout
the
entire
study
we
had.
We
have.
We
had
publicity
with
some
sidewalk
decals
video
interview
with
Kirk
on
the
website.
We
have
social
media
flyers
and
email
subscriptions
out
to
community
members.
We
have
the
website.
Let's
talk,
Bloomington
up
on
the
the
city's
website.
We
also
had
pop-up
events,
some
focused
conversations,
some
pre-open
house
engagement
and
then
actual
open
houses
with
the
community.
AC
Getting
into
that
a
little
bit.
We
do
have
two
pop-up
events
that
we
had
in
Fall
of
2022,
one
at
the
farmers
market
and
then
one
also
at
the
transit
station
train
station
was
really
important
to
get
other
community
members
that
are
using
that
transit
station
people
that
are
walking
biking
using
the
park
and
ride
also
switching
buses
in
that
area,
so
just
to
get
their
opinions
of
the
corridor
and
how
they're
using
the
corridor.
AC
We
also
three
focused
conversations
with
the
community
one
at
Creekside,
Community
Center,
one
at
Kennedy,
High
School
and
one
at
some
house,
Independent
Living,
just
to
understand
how
different
age
groups
and
how
different
economic
groups
and
people
use
this
corridor
from
different
areas.
We
also
had
two
open
houses.
We
had
both
an
in-person,
open
house
and
also
some
online
engagement,
which
was
up
for
about
four
weeks
during
that
same
time,
consistent
with
the
open
houses
that
we
had,
one
in
December
and
then
an
additional
open
house
in
May.
AC
Just
a
little
bit
background
here
on
the
transportation
use
on
the
corridor.
So.
Currently
you
see
on
the
left
side
is
our
people
are
using
the
corridor
today,
vast
majority
of
people
are
driving
along
the
corridor.
There
are
some
people
are
using
public
transportation
and
some
others
that
are
walking
the
corridor,
some
that
are
biking
on
the
corridor,
but
the
majority
biggest
majority
use
is
driving
in
the
corridor.
How
people
you
want
to
use
the
corridor.
AC
People
are
still
going
to
drive
people
that
said
that
they
were
going
to
drive
it
today
that
are
still
going
to
drive
it
into
the
future.
But
then
we
also
see
if
the
corridor
were
improved,
if
they
could
bike
more,
if
they
could
walk
more,
if
they
could
use
Transit
more
that
there
would
be
more
use
for
those
types
of
uses
on
there.
So
this
is
an
understanding
that
not
only
do
we
need
to
improve
it
for
bicyclists
and
for
pedestrians
and
for
Transit
users
along
the
corridor.
AC
We
did
have
a
lot
of
comments,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
the
comments.
I
think
most
of
it
relates
to
just
what
I
talked
about
in
the
previous
slide.
Talking
about
how
people
feel
uncomfortable
right
now
walking
and
biking
along
this
Corridor.
There
are
some
congestion
areas
for
vehicles,
specifically
at
Old,
Shakopee
Road
and
at
The
Interchange,
but
generally
it's
really
the
lack
of
pedestrian
and
bicyclist
facilities
and
wide
facilities
that
people
can
use
and
just
different
opportunities
for
those
again
going
out
throughout
the
corridor.
AC
AC
Mndot
has
currently
has
a
project
in
2026
to
replace
the
signal
systems
at
The
Interchange
as
part
of
that
project.
They're.
Looking
at
doing
some
other
geometric
type
of
improvements
there
that
they're
they're
looking
through
in
2026,
so
looking
at
any
of
those
short-term
projects,
would
be
associated
with
those
MnDOT
projects.
The
midterm
is
a
10
to
20
year.
AC
Time
frame
is
really
to
accommodate
some
development
and
Redevelopment
growth,
largely
within
the
kind
of
near
the
Lindale
Avenue
area,
and
then
also
its
growth,
and
can
we
fit
anything
within
the
existing
right-of-way
so
not
trying
to
take
property
to
develop
this
midterm
option.
The
other
thing
with
that
is
maintaining
the
existing
Bridge
maintained
over
I-35w.
AC
That
is
a
min.one
Bridge
Crossing
I-35w,
even
though
it
is
a
County
facility
Crossing
there
it
is
a
min.one
bridge
latest
information
on
that
is
that
the
bridge
replacement
will
be
Beyond
20
years.
It
has
still
about
20
years
of
life
left
in
that
bridge,
and
so
that
we
have
a
long-term
vision,
would
be
replacing
that
bridge
and
also
looking
at
anything
where
we
need
a
more
additional
right-of-way
that
cannot
be
fit
in
there,
so
jumping
into
the
midterm
Corridor
Concepts.
Looking
on
the
west
end,
this
is
on
the
Old
Shakopee
Road
area.
AC
Some
of
the
things
that
this
concept
does
based
on
some
of
the
comments
we've
had
is:
it
adds
a
Crossing
on
at
Humboldt
Avenue,
currently
the
only
signalized
Crossings
of
98th
Street
in
this
area,
as
we
is
at
Dupont
Avenue
on
the
East
End
and
James
Avenue
on
the
west.
So
this
is
adding
another
Crossing
at
Humboldt
Avenue,
which
is
associated
with
where
Metro
Transit
currently
has
some
bus
stops
around
that
area.
AC
It
goes
down
from
two
lanes
down
to
one
makes
a
wide
sweeping
right
turn
that
goes
on
to
East,
West,
98th,
Street
eastbound,
so
limiting
some
of
those
side
swipes
that
you
have
with
all
the
traffic
merging
and
then
trying
to
switch
lanes
as
we
move
through
there.
The
biggest
change
really
here
is
a
modifying
the
westbound
left
with
the
Northbound
right.
AC
Midterm
Corridor
concept
for
the
existing
bridge:
this
is
the
I-35w
area,
Dupont
Avenue
East,
Bloomington
freeway,
looking
at
there
is
really
reducing
out
revising
the
operations
of
the
traffic
signal
to
reduce
some
of
those
conflicts
that
are
out
there.
We've
had
a
lot
of
bicyclists
and
pedestrian
crashes
at
Dupont
Avenue
and
that
interchange
there
so
making
some
improvements
working
with
Hennepin
County
to
improve
the
the
traffic
operations
there,
with
some
different
timings,
potentially
adding
that
red
line
on
the
North
side,
there
is
a
Transit
bypass
lane
So.
AC
On
the
east
side,
we
would
keep
the
transit
station
where
it's
currently
relocated
currently
located
today.
Those
are
Ralph
properties
that
were
or
again
as
Kirk
had
mentioned
previously,
that
they
are
properties
that
were
bought
for
that
future
interchange
concept
that
now
is
being
used
by
the
transit
station.
That
includes
looking
at
Redevelopment
in
that
area
or
development
in
an
area
including
a
250
space
parking
ramp
and
5
000
square
feet
of
commercial
and
also
375
apartment
units
within
that
site.
AC
AC
We
also
have
area
two
is
kind
of
near
that
big
parking
lot
in
front
of
Festival
Foods,
looking
at
adding
some,
possibly
some
apartment
apartments
in
that
area
and
then
also
Northwest
of
the
Lindale
Avenue
98th
Street
intersection,
looking
at
adding
some
square
footage
for
commercial
retail
and
then
also
a
300
unit
apartment
and
then
just
kind
of
maintaining
some
of
that
other
development.
That's
there
in
consistent
with
the
Lindell
retrofit
plan,
looking
at
Lindale
Avenue
on
this
midterm
concept,
this
is
kind
of
the
East
End
of
the
corridor.
AC
Big
takeaways
in
this
area
is
eliminating
those
free
right
movements
again
safer
for
pedestrians.
Shortening
some
of
those
Crossings
in
that
in
that
area
also
single
left
turn
Lanes.
Eastbound
westbound
will
be
found
out
with
with
the
traffic
review
out.
There
is
that
the
traffic
is
unequal
between
the
two
different
left
turn
lanes
and
most
of
the
traffic
Stacks
up
in
one
of
them.
AC
So
reducing
that
down
to
one
left
turn
lane
still
provides
the
same
capacity,
but
also
shortens
The
Pedestrian
Crossing
across
98th
Street
and
across
Lindale
Avenue,
also
improved
pedestrian
ramps,
improved
access
to
the
transit
station
with
some
of
these
wider
pedestrian
facilities,
the
other
big
thing
would
be
the
extension
of
the
trail
from
West
98th
Street
on
the
east
side
of
Lindale
Avenue
to
the
South
So
currently
to
the
south
of
here.
There
is
a
trail
that
starts
a
few
blocks
south
of
the
the
commercial
development
in
that
area.
AC
So
it's
very
limited
right
right
of
way
between
the
existing
edge
of
curb
that
we
have
on
the
North
side
and
those
property
lines
on
the
North
side,
so
looking
at
a
multi-use
trail
on
that
north
side,
but
that
will
require
some
extensive
right-of-way
to
be
obtained
from
those
properties
on
that
side.
So
that's
more
of
a
long-term
option
there.
AC
The
other
thing
is
a
replacement
of
the
bridge.
So
with
that
we
would
want
to
add
an
additional
eastbound
left
turn
lane.
So
part
of
this
is
looking
at
with
that
interchange
alternative
that
was
developed
in
the
90s,
making
sure
that
we
can
provide
enough
capacity
out
here
to
be
equivalent
to
what
that
interchange
concept
would
have
provided
by
adding
this
additional
eastbound
left
turn
lane.
We
can
find
that
same
capacity,
but
then
also
with
the
facilities
that
we're
adding
here
is
adding
a
10-foot
Trail
on
the
North
side
So
currently
out
there.
AC
AC
I
guess
I'll
just
jump
back
to
that
overall
General
comments.
This
is
the
way
it's
it's.
A
good
option
for
the
corridor
provides
some
of
those
extra
pedestrian
and
bicyclist
facilities
provides
those
enhancements
to
Transit
beyond
the
study
looking
Beyond,
north
and
south
of
98th
Street,
we
are
look
also
looking
at
pedestrian
bridge
options
in
the
study
that
are
located
in
there.
We
do
have
mentioned
one
here
on
at
West.
AC
Additionally,
also
looking
at
a
West
98th
Street
crossing
the
boxes
on
North
side
and
south
side
is
not
how
large
that
that
building
would
necessarily
need
to
be
on
either
side,
but
just
indicating
that
we
would
want
this
Bridge
or
Skyway
to
be
located
on
the
northeast
corner
of
that
transit
property
connecting
to
that
on
Aldrich
Avenue,
the
northwest
corner.
So
with
some
kind
of
facility
there
we're
looking
at
a
Skyway
facility
in
this
area,
just
because
of
the
space
that
it
takes
up
to
get
ramps
or
anything
else
in
this
area.
AC
After
Council
acceptance
tonight,
State
staff
from
both
the
HRA
Port,
Authority
and
Public
Works,
would
begin
conversations
and
negotiations
with
Metro
Transit
and
the
Met
Council
for
that.
The
Ralph
properties
where
the
transisting
transit
station
are
located
also
working
with
Public
Works
programming
for
projects
developed
and
added
to
the
CIP.
AC
As
far
as
funding
and
partnering
looking
at
projects
developed
and
added
to
the
cab,
CIP
and
as
mentioned
previously,
the
first
project
is
likely
in
2026,
especially
with
MnDOT,
also
look
at
outside
funding
state
and
federal
aid
as
program
opportunities,
align
and
also
looking
at
development
Redevelopment.
When
those
proposals
come
in,
some
read
the
recommended
Concepts
achieve
the
study
goals,
but
provide
a
long-term
plan
for
The
Interchange
preserve
and
enhance
the
transit
station.
AC
A
S
That
is
really
positive,
I'm
curious,
if,
if
you
have
any
ability
to
to
help
us
understand
like
what
the
impacts
are
on
a
on
on
the
on
the
flow
of
traffic,
so
we
would
be
expecting
at
least
hypothesizing
that
we'd
see
those
folks
who
want
to
take
bikes
or
want
to
to
walk
or
want
to
get
to
public
transportation
that
they
would
see
an
improvement
in
their
accessibility
and
their
safety
Etc.
How
are
we
going
to
measure?
S
That
is
an
open
question
for
me
and
then
the
second
question
is
knowing
that,
especially
with
that
stop
at
at
the
corner.
We
know
that
that's
probably
going
to
have
a
negative
impact
on
flow
of
traffic,
but
not
necessarily
in
a
bad
way.
We
just
need
to
know
what
that
is,
and
how
would
we
measure
that
so
I'm
curious
if
we
have
any
thoughts
on
what
we're
hypothesizing
the
impacts
there
to
be
and
and
how
we
would
plan
to
come
back
and
talk
about
whether
we
were
right
or
not
on
those
fronts,
thanks.
AC
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
council
member.
Yes,
we
did
do
as
a
part
of
our
evaluation
of
the
corridor.
What
we
were
looking
at
is
reducing
the
number
of
conflict
points
that
we
have
during
different
modes,
that
overall
providing
a
safety
Improvement
by
having
less
conflicts,
providing
less
time
that
so
anytime,
we
can
shorten
The
Pedestrian
Crossing
up
we're
providing
less
time
that
those
two
pedestrians
and
vehicles
would
be
in
conflict
with
each
other.
So
that's
another
Improvement
we're
looking
at
so
while
and
we
did
measure
out.
AC
We
did
a
do
a
traffic
analysis
of
the
measuring
the
delay
that
would
be
under
each
one
of
the
different
improvements
compared
to
the
the
no
build
condition.
So,
while
the
you
know
the
like,
Old
Shakopee,
Road
to
eastbound,
98th
Street
would
appear
since
we're
making
Now
traffic
stop.
It's
only
stopped
for
less
than
half
the
time
so
overall
we're
providing
the
same
level
of
service
actually
a
little
bit
better
than
the
existing
condition.
That's
out
there,
even
though
right
now,
everybody
feels
that
they
can
just
always
go
through.
S
AC
V
Councilmember
Lowman,
so
then
just
really
just
one
question,
and
it's
just
for
that
for
those
folks
that
are
on
98th
Street,
just
as
you
take
the
I
call
it
the
power
curve
for
the
before
What
would
folks
end
up
losing
some
of
their
their
property
there.
If
that
trail
is
placed
in
there
or
is
that
going
to
be
done
within
the
existing
right-of-way.
AC
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
council
member.
There
are
two
properties
currently
that,
where
the
trail
shows
going
over
that
property,
the
belief
is
right
now
is
that
one
of
them
for
sure
has
a
has
a
utility
easement,
in
which
case
the
four
Trail
or
or
sidewalk
in
that
area,
so
that
one
property
well
there's
another
property
that
we're
still
trying
to
determine
whether
there
is
an
easement
or,
if
some
property,
but
there's
only
one,
that's
a
possibility.
Okay,.
V
AC
And
I
will
I'll
note
on
that.
We
are
narrowing
the
Lanes
on
Eastbound
and
Westbound,
so
we're
able
to
push
the
curb
further
north
to
be
able
to
gain
some
space
there.
Also,
the
lane
closest
to
the
south
side
of
the
highway
is
actually
starting
we're
not
starting
that
until
further
east
away
from
Old
Shakopee
Road.
So
there's
there
there's
an
advantage,
we're
actually
gaining
another
Lane
of
space
there
too,
for
Boulevard
space
thanks.
A
U
A
U
F
AC
Yes,
I:
don't
have
it
off
hand
what
the
age
of
the
bridge
is,
but
MnDOT
did
do
a
recent
assessment
and
their
assessment
was
that
it
had
20
years
of
life
at
the
existing
Bridge
before
would
have
to
be
rehabilitated,
but
we
can
make
sure
to
add
that
to
the
report.
The
other
thing
is,
we
do
have
a
pedestrian
and
bicyclist
counts
at
all
the
intersections
at
least
I'll
signalized
intersections
on
the
corridor
providing
those
pedestrians,
the
number
of
pedestrians
and
bicyclists,
but
I
do
not
know
all
those
offhand.
AB
Council
I'll
just
add
to
that
the
last
time
that
we
actually
counted
pedestrians
over
the
98th
Street
Bridge.
It
was
about
300
or
more
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
across
that
bridge
a
day.
That's
one
of
the
higher
locations
in
the
city
in
terms
of
pedestrian
and
bicyclists.
For
reference,
the
Normandale
Lake
District.
We
have
all
the
recreational
use
around
the
lake.
That's
about
900
pedestrians
a
day
on
that
one.
So
this
is
one
of
two
very
high
pedestrian
areas
of
the
city,
the
other
being
the
area
of
around
American
Boulevard
in
Chicago.
A
A
The
the
development
and
Redevelopment
options-
we've
all
we've
been
talking
about
that
for
a
long
while
in
that
area
and
I,
think
the
I
think
in
a
lot
of
ways,
they
go
hand
in
hand
to
make
that
a
bit
of
a
softer
landscape,
I
think
would
encourage
Redevelopment,
especially
housing
and
other
possible
Redevelopment
opportunities,
and
so
I'm
I'm
excited
about
that.
And
the
thing
I
think
they're
most
excited
about
Mr
Roberts
was
your
comments
about
the
Partnerships
that
we've
developed
on
this
and
how
now
this?
A
This
Bloomington
plan
has
become
the
plan
of
others
that
they're
looking
at
this,
and
they
understand
the
need
for
this
and
the
importance
of
this
and
the
quality
of
the
work
that
has
been
done
on
this
and
that
we
can.
They
can
take
pieces
of
it
and
move
forward
and
appreciate
bloomington's
leadership
on
that.
But
I
also
appreciate
that
appreciate
and
understand
that
we
can't
do
this
alone
and
it
needs
to
be
that
partnership
with
our
friends
at
MnDOT
and
at
the
county
and
at
the
Met,
Council
and
everywhere
else.
A
If
we're
going
to
accomplish
this,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
good
work
that
went
into
building
those
relationships
and
cultivating
the
the
the
connections
that
needed
to
happen
in
order
to
make
this
a
success,
so
I
I
think
this
is
this
is
good
work
I
think
it
would
I
thought
it
was
good
work.
The
first
time
we
saw
it
and
I
think
it's.
It's
good
work
now
so
Council
any
additional
comments.
Councilmember
Lowman.
V
Thank
you,
mayor
I
think
you
were
quite
eloquent.
The
only
thing
I
would
a
couple
things
I
would
add
to
this.
Is
that
when
I'm
coming
home
from
a
Twins
game
and
I
take
that
free
right
after
the
twins
have
lost
I'm
going
to
be
disappointed
that
I'm
going
to
be
10
seconds
later
to
my
house
if
that's
gone,
but
I
recognize
that,
for
those
other
fans
that
are
are
struggling
and
biking
home
after
the
game,
that
might
be
a
better
experience
for
them.
V
So
I'll
accept
that,
but
in
all
seriousness,
I
do
hope
that
we
look
through
that
Corridor
and
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
the
sustainability
of
that
entire
Corridor
and
making
sure
that
we're
keeping
up
with
what
needs
to
happen
in
our
plannings
any
of
the
things
that
are
there
that
need
to
be
done
and
then
as
we're
doing,
that
we're
also
being
careful
for
those
folks
end
up
losing
land.
That
is
a
significant
situation
for
them.
V
A
A
A
A
That
concludes
item
four
on
our
agenda,
our
hearings,
resolutions
and
ordinances,
and
it
will
move
us
into
our
organizational
business
and
we've
got
two
update
and
discussion
items
that
we're
going
to
talk
about.
No,
no
specific
decisions,
more
Direction
on
this
one
in
particular,
and
then
just
information
on
the
next
one
item.
5.1
is
an
update
in
discussion
on
the
Cannabis
legislative
realities.
Now
embracing
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
I.
AD
Evening,
mayor
and
Council,
it's
nice
to
see
you
tonight.
We
are
here
for
what
will
probably
be
the
first
of
many
different
discussions
that
we
have
in
response
to
the
Cannabis
legislation
that
was
passed
earlier
this
year
at
a
state
level.
Tonight,
specifically,
we
will
be
providing
you
with
an
overview,
a
legislative
summary
of
the
portions
of
the
law
that
most
directly
affect
the
city
of
Bloomington
our
operations
and
our
policy
decisions.
Moving
forward,
we'll
also
talk
about
a
timeline
for
the
regulation
process
and
those
policy
decisions.
AD
They
said
we'll
be
back
before
you
a
couple
of
different
times
as
we're
reacting
to
this
new
legislation,
so
kind
of
laying
out
what
that
looks
like
at
a
high
level.
And
then
there
are
some
items
this
evening
that
we
are
seeking
Council
discussion
and
Direction
and
those
policy
items
are
cannabis,
use
in
public
places,
lower
potency,
hemp,
edible
sales
by
liquor,
stores
and
cannabis,
a
cannabis
license
moratorium
and
then,
of
course,
there's
always
time
for
city
council
questions
and
directions
on
any
other
topics
or
items
that
we
didn't
cover.
AD
So
this
is
the
new
state
agency
that
is
responsible
for
regulating
cannabis
within
the
state
of
Minnesota,
and
it
is
Guided
by
a
cannabis
advisory
Council
that
has
50
appointed
or
designated
individuals,
and
that
does
include
a
representative
from
the
league
of
Minnesota
cities,
so
cities
viewpoints
are
represented
on
that
Council.
But
when
you
hear
me
speak
today,
when
you
hear
me
talk
about
the
ocm,
that
is,
that
state
agency
that,
as
cannabis
regulation
moves
forward,
we
will
be
working
closely
with
in
our
in
our
regulation
and
management
of
cannabis.
Here
in
Bloomington.
AD
The
legislation
did
allow
for
some
local
control
of
cannabis
sales
cities
are
allowed
to
adopt
reasonable
restrictions
on
the
time,
place
and
manner
of
the
operations
of
a
cannabis
business.
Cities,
though,
cannot
prohibit
The,
Possession,
transport,
Transportation
or
use
of
cannabis
within
its
borders,
and
cities
also
have
the
ability
to
limit
the
number
of
licensed
retailers
to
no
fewer
than
one
registration
for
every
12
500
residents.
AD
Thank
you.
The
new
legislation
allows
made
possession
of
cannabis
legal,
effective,
August
1st
of
this
year,
so
we're
28
days
into
the
legalization
of
possession
of
cannabis,
and
there
are
some
restrictions
on
the
amount
of
product
that
a
person
can
can
possess,
and
then
there
are
restrictions
on
where
you
can
possess
the
Cannabis.
So
things
like
public
schools
and
school
buses,
Charter
Schools,
State,
Correctional,
Facilities,
Federal
process,
Federal
property,
if
you're
under
21
or
in
a
vehicle.
AD
AD
Similar
canvas
use
became
legal,
effective,
August,
1st
of
2023
and
again,
there
are
regulations
on
where
cannabis
use
is
not
allowed.
So
cannabis
use
is
covered
by
the
Minnesota
Clean
Indoor
Air
Act,
and
so
it
is
regulated
similar
to
Tobacco.
You
can't
smoke
that
product
in
areas
where
tobacco
smoking
is
not
currently
Allowed
by
that
act.
You
cannot
smoked
use
tobacco.
AD
Excuse
me
cannabis
when
you're
operating
motor
vehicle
in
school
buses,
charter,
schools,
public
schools,
correctional
facilities
in
a
location
where
the
smoke
or
vapor
may
be
inhaled
by
a
minor
on
federal
property
or
if
you're,
under
21
years
old.
The
cities,
in
addition,
have
authority
to
prohibit
use
in
a
public
place,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
policy
items
that
we'll
be
walking
you
through
in
just
a
little
bit.
A
H
AD
H
Questions
about,
if
your
at
a
store
where
people
go
in
and
out,
if
there's
a
child
going
in
and
out,
are
you
not
allowed
to
then,
if
the
if
a
child
might
be
there?
Those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
still
need
to
work
through
some
of
the
clarity
questions,
since
there
isn't
a
lot
of
clarity
in
the
language
itself,.
F
Q
AE
Merit,
council,
member
Nelson
again,
that
is
probably
vague
if
a
child
is
there
what
the
statute
does
allow
is
or
actually
what
the
statute
prohibits.
The
city
from
regulating
is
the
use
of
cannabis
in
a
private
residence.
So
there's
there's
no
language
within
the
statute.
That
says,
if
a
child
is
present
within
that
household,
that
you
can't
use
cannabis.
So
again,
that's
another
vague
area
of
the
statute
as
well.
AD
Okay
onward
growing
cannabis
is
also
now
legal.
Under
the
new
statute,
and
residents
are
allowed
up
to
eight
plants.
Four
of
those
can
be
mature
plants.
It
does
does
require
that
those
plants
be
enclosed
in
a
locked
space
and
not
open
for
public
view.
So
it's
not
as
though
I
can
plant
it
in
my
vegetable
garden
in
my
backyard,
without
any
sort
of
additional
protection
or
fencing
or
screening
from
public
View.
AD
AD
So
the
Department
of
Health
is
kind
of
an
interim
stop
before
ocm,
gets
up
and
running
and
starts
issuing
those
licenses.
So
the
way
it
works
is
existing.
Retailers
need
to
register
with
the
state
by
October
1st
2023,
and
there
are
additional
standards
now
for
those
retailers
regarding
testing
labeling
serving
sizes
sales,
actually
a
lot
of
the
sales
Provisions
kind
of
mirror
what
cities
had
done
to
ensure
that
they
were
not
accessible
to
minors.
So
a
lot
of
that
is
consistent
with
what
we
currently
have
in
our
code
and
what
we
discussed
last
year.
AD
A
big
change
is
that
sales
are
now
allowed
at
exclusive
liquor
stores.
So,
under
the
previous
legislation,
exclusive
liquor
stores
were
not
allowed
to
sell
these
products.
It
wasn't
on
the
list
of
items
that
they
could
sell.
That
has
been
updated,
so
exclusive
liquor
stores
can
now
sell
these
lower
potency
hemp,
edible
products.
AD
Cities
can
continue
licensing
these
products
until
the
office
of
cannabis
management
begins
licensing
them.
So
we
are
planning
to
continue
on
with
our
licensing
program,
so
we
know
where
they
are.
We
can
make
sure
they
know
they
need
to
register
with
the
state
they're
still
being
backgrounded
and
then
at
the
point
where
the
state
takes
over
that
licensing,
the
city
can
no
longer
license
those.
A
AD
K
AD
So
the
licensing
piece
is
quite
complex
right.
It's
a
320,
page
Bill.
Yes,
so
there's
16
different
license
types
that
ocm
will
begin
administering
and
it
goes
everywhere
from
the
seed
right
all
the
way
to
smoke
kind
of
it's
a
it's
a
full-scale
licensing
program
where
they've
got
the
cultivators,
the
manufacturers,
the
Transporters,
testers
wholesalers,
retailers
right
and
so
cities
have
a
role
in
licensing
the
retail
sale
portion
of
of
all
those
different
licensing
types
and
so
for
those
retail
sale.
Portions.
AD
What
happens
is
the
Cannabis
business
is
going
to
apply
with
ocm
ocm
consults
the
city
to
see
if
the
business
meets
our
zoning
code
requirements.
If
we
have
any
sort
of
limitation
on
the
number
and
just
make
sure
that
it
meets
our
city
code
for
building
and
zoning
and
and
Licensing,
they
review
the
application.
The
state
conducts
the
background
investigation,
they
issue
the
license
ocm.
Does
then
the
Cannabis
business
is
required
to
register
with
this.
AD
AD
So
here
we
call
Mayor
here
is
the
timeline
for
the
office
of
cannabis
management,
so
in
September
so
coming
up
next
month,
we
anticipate
that
a
director
appointment
will
be
made
and
then
in
Fall
2023,
the
rule
making
process
will
start,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
pieces
of
this
bill,
we're
kind
of
waiting
to
see
what
then
the
rulemaking
looks
like
and
what
the
details
of
how
those
laws
are
going
to
be
enacted
and
so
we'll
start
kind
of
getting
a
peek
at
that
this
fall.
Excuse
me,
2024.
AD
The
office
of
cannabis
management,
continued
plans
to
continue
rule,
making
hiring
ramping
up
their
staff,
creating
a
licensing
system
preparing
that
testing
that
and
the
office
of
cannabis
management
has
shared.
They
plan
to
are
prepared
to
be
ready
in
early
2025
for
accepting
license
applications
and
then
issuing
those
licenses.
AD
So
that
brings
us
to
the
policy
direction
for
the
city
here
in
Bloomington.
So
we
have
some
consideration
for
the
city
council
this
evening
and
we'll
dive
into
these
a
little
bit
more.
But
again,
that's
smoking
in
parks
in
public
places,
lower
potency,
hemp,
edible
sales
and
liquor
stores
and
a
cannabis
sales
moratorium
in
early
2024.
We
expect
to
come
back
to
the
city
council
with
zoning
regulations,
things
like
retailers,
manufacturers,
Growers
licensing
and
registration
regulations,
things
like
fees
limits
on
the
number
of
licenses
we
want
to
issue
and
so
behind
the
scenes.
AD
What
staff
are
doing
we're
having
these
multi-departmental
meetings,
where
we're
sharing
information,
because
this
is
such
a
a
large
piece
of
legislation,
we
want
to
make
sure
we,
as
staff,
really
have
a
good
handle
on
and
all
the
different
pieces
so
that
we
can
come
to
Council
in
early
2024
with
different
different
chunks
of
it.
If
you
will
for
your
consideration
and
policy
decisions
on
some
of
those,
much
larger
issues
and
some
of
those
issues
where
we're
waiting
for
rule
making
to
happen,
so
we
have
an
idea
of
kind
of
where
the
state
is
headed.
AD
There
are
also
internal
processes
that
we
are
working
on
things
like
tracking
our
expenses
related
to
cannabis
regulation,
making
sure
we
have
inter-departmental
coordination
for
things
like
violations,
complaints,
concerns
and
then
expungements
is
part
of
this
legislation
that
our
legal
team
has
been
working
quite
a
bit
on
with
the
police
department.
As
far
as
how
we
handle
those
expungement
requirements.
AD
So
the
first
item
we
have
for
city
council
to
discuss
this
evening
is
this
cannabis
use
in
public
places.
So
under
the
legislation,
cannabis
cannot
be
prohibited
in
a
private
residence,
including
a
yard
private
property
not
generally
accessible
by
the
public.
Unless
the
owner
of
that
property
prohibits
it
and
then
events
license
to
permit
on-site
consumption.
AD
AD
So
we
took
a
look
right
when
we
were
talking
about
smoking
cannabis.
Our
first
thought
is:
let's
take
a
look
at
how
we
regulate
smoking.
Tobacco
within
the
city
and
So.
Currently,
city
code
prohibits
smoking
tobacco
in
outdoor
areas
of
bars
and
restaurants,
except
that
half
of
the
outdoor
air
up
to
half
of
the
outdoor
area
cannot
be
a
designated
smoking
section
and
then
it
prohibits
it
within
25
feet
of
public
places
and
places
of
work.
AD
AD
AD
We
can
act,
prohibitions
consistent
with
tobacco
use
and
tobacco
smoking
within
within
that
areas
that
we
just
outlined.
We
could
also
create
a
separate
definition
of
a
public
space
specific
to
cannabis,
smoking
or
use.
So
if
we
wanted
to
add
things
like
city
streets,
sidewalks,
any
other
anything
that
isn't
on
the
previous
list,
we
can.
We
can
do
that
as
well,
and
Define
public
place
a
little
bit
more
broadly
than
is
currently
defined
for
tobacco.
AD
Okay,
the
next
policy
question
in
front
of
city
council
this
evening
is,
regarding
those
lower
potency,
hemp,
edible
sales
in
liquor
stores.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
when
we
looked
at
this
issue
last
year,
the
we
liquor
stores
were
not
allowed
to
sell
these
products.
It
wasn't
on
the
list
of
approved
products.
Now,
with
this
new
legislation,
liquor
stores
could
sell
these
lower
potency
hemp
Edibles
products,
but
it
requires
an
update
to
our
city
code,
because
our
city
code
does
not
include
that
allowance
within
it.
AD
There
is
a
setback,
issue
kind
of
inconsistency,
I
should
say
between
our
th
lower
potency,
hemp,
edible
sales,
it's
going
to
say,
THC
Edibles,
that's
incorrect
and
our
liquor
store
setbacks.
Our
liquor,
store
setbacks
are
300
feet
and
lower
potency
hemp.
Edible
sales
is
500
foot
setback,
so
there
is
the
potential
that
some
of
our
liquor
stores
would
not
be
eligible
to
sell
because
they
don't
meet
the
500
footstep
back,
even
though
they
meet
the
300
foot
setback.
So
I
wanted
to
share
that
with
Council.
Make
sure
you're
aware
of
that.
AD
So
the
policy
decision
here
is
whether
or
not
the
city
council
would
like
to
allow
liquor
stores
to
sell
the
lower
potency
hemp
edible
products.
We
have
a
few
options.
We
can
leave
our
code
alone
and
not
allow
exclusive
liquor
stores
to
sell
those
products.
We
can
allow
the
sales
by
liquor
stores
and
keep
the
500
foot
set
back
from
schools
that,
and
that
means
that
some
of
our
liquor
stores
may
not
be
eligible
to
sell
those
products.
AD
AD
AD
We
as
staff
expect
to
have
our
cannabis
regulations
in
place
by
June
of
2024.,
so
there
is
a
potential
risk
that
the
state
would
begin
licensing
before
the
city
regulations
are
in
place.
Is
it
very
likely
I'm
not
sure
about
that?
But
there
is
a
risk
that
if
the
state
gets
up
and
running
faster
than
it
thinks
it
does
faster
than
we've
kind
of
heard,
it
will
that
we
might
not
be
ready
with
our
regulations
by
the
time
that
we're
asked
to
start
reviewing
applications
and
take
Regis
taking
registrations
here
at
the
city.
AD
AD
So
our
choices
for
this
policy
decision,
we
could
enact
a
moratorium
now
that
moratorium
can
always
be
removed.
Earlier,
let's
say
we're
ready
to
go
next
April.
We
could
choose
to
repeal
that
moratorium
and
just
wait
for
the
state
to
be
ready.
We
could
defer
a
decision
until
next
spring
or
next
summer.
You
know
if
it
starts.
AD
A
B
AD
B
AD
V
So
my
question
since
I
see
that
Nick
is
back
there.
So
I
will
ask
my
question
with
regard
to
we
look
at
that
Clean
Air
Act
in
you
know
kind
of
the
history
in
terms
of
how
that
you
know
came
to
be.
We
look
at
cigarette
smoke
and
that
impact
that
has
the
general
public
and
we
have
the
research
to
back
that
up.
My
question
is:
when
we
look
at
you
know,
you
know
this
this
type
of
smoking.
What
type
of
impact
you
know
you
know
does
you
know
smoking?
V
You
know
this.
This
type
of
product
have
that's
different
from
cigarettes.
Is
it
the
same?
You
know,
is
it
more
impactful?
Is
it
less
impactful
I
I'm
just
curious?
What
are
the?
What
are
the
health
implications
for
the
the
general
public
when
you
look
at
what
we're
trying
to
do
around
that
Minnesota
Clean
Air
Act
as
we're
you
know
trying
to
you're
just
trying
to
understand
that.
AF
AF
Currently,
there
is
very
little
research
out
there
on
what
maybe
in
a
cannabis
product
that
could
be
combusted
and
inhaled
some
of
that
research.
Looking
at
using
things
like
bongs
particip,
generate
substantially
more
PM,
2.5,
really
small
particulate
matters,
it's
about
two
and
a
half
times
more
than
a
cigarette.
AF
There
are
a
little
over
60
byproducts
of
the
Cannabis
combustion
that
are
known
to
cause
cancer.
So
we
see
some
of
the
same
things,
but
I
can't
provide
you
a
list
of
the
300,
somewhat
chemicals
we
might
see
in
a
commercial
tobacco
product
for
this,
but
the
the
byproducts
of
the
combustion
we
would
have
similar
concerns
for.
AF
V
Since
you're
already
here,
you
know
as
we're
looking
at
the
the
the
hemp
piece
and
where,
in
terms
of
a
policy
perspective
in
terms
of
I,
know,
we
just
got
done
working
on
trying
to
get
rid
of
you
know.
Flavored
tobacco,
you
know,
should
I
look
at
that
hemp
in
terms
of
the
same
type
of
of
you
know
in
terms
of
health
risks
to
Young
Folks.
AF
So
when
you
look
at
pediatric
or
or
young
adult
issues,
most
of
it
deals
with
the
over
usage
of
a
product
or
multiple
components
happening
that
does
carry
the
the
hemp
product.
We're
not.
We
don't
have
as
much
data
as
we
have
on
some
of
the
other
cannabis
products
from
a
what
it
does
for
potential
addiction,
Pathways
or
other
things
like
that.
So
what
we've
seen
mostly
is
is
concern
about
over
usage.
S
S
S
For
example,
if
we
just
say
it's
not
prohibited
in
public
places
that
makes
their
life
really
really
easy
right.
If
we
say
that
it
that
we
give
it
a
little
bit
more
leeway,
we
make
it
a
little
harder
for
the
enforcement
aspect.
The
other
question
that
I
have
is
around.
You
know
what
we're
doing
right
now
to
enforce
the
ability
for,
or
the
inability
for
miners
to
get
at
the
I'm
going
to
call
it
lphe,
because
that's
it's
an
acronym
that
I
like
because
I
don't
want
to
keep
making.
S
AD
Mayor
and
a
council
member
de
la
Sandro
police
department
has
been
involved
in
our
conversations
to
date
about
some
of
these
policy
discussions
and
and
and
can
how
it
impacts
their
operations
and
I
would
say
that
the
message
we've
received
from
police
is
that
consistency
is
helpful.
You
know
if
we're
treating
smoking
tobacco
similar
to
smoking
cannabis.
That
makes
it
easier
for
the
police
department
to
to
enforce
those
regulations.
You
see
someone
smoking
in
a
city
park,
it's
easy
enough
to
say:
that's
not
allowed
right
versus
trying
to
figure
out.
Are
they
using
tobacco?
AD
Are
they
using
cannabis?
So
the
consistency
piece
of
it
is
helpful.
It's
also,
you
know
the
the
more
that
we
prohibit
it
in
different
places
outside
of
smoking.
Tobacco
then
I
think
you're,
you're
correct
the
more
difficult
that
makes
it
to
enforce,
and
you
know
if
you
see
someone
smoking
across
the
street,
you've
got
to
get
close
to
see.
What
is
it
that
they're
smoking
potentially
and
investigate
that,
and
it
could
lead
to.
Y
AD
AD
There
are
some
statutes
that
generally
dictate
where
you
are
allowed
to
consume
alcohol
and
not
consume
alcohol,
but
there
are
some.
There
are
some
differences
between
alcohol
consumption
and
where
you
can
do
that
within
city
property
versus
tobacco,
we
kind
of
carve
out
some
additional
areas
for
alcohol
under
certain
circumstances.
Y
Q
Q
R
AD
Mayor
and
council
member
Nelson
staff
has
had
some
discussions
about
other
than
use
other
than
smoking
and
from
just
a
practical
standpoint,
trying
to
figure
out
is
someone
eating.
Gummy
worms
at
a
playground
or
a
different
substance
at
a
playground
might
be
difficult
right
to
kind
of
manage
that
and
how
we,
how
we
actually
would
enforce
something
other
than
smoking.
AD
There's
also
kind
of
the
the
policy
decision
is.
Is
that
an
impact
within
that
Park?
If
someone
is
having
some
THC,
some
cphes
or
lower
potency
products?
Thank
you.
Lphe
I
can't
read
my
own
handwriting
products
within
a
park
versus
smoking
and
creating
you
know
secondhand
smoke
for
others
who
are
enjoying
that
Park.
So
we've
had
that
discussion
both
on
an
enforcement
side
of
how
do
we?
How
would
we
logistically
enforce
just
prohibitions
on
use
entirely
versus
the
smoking
pieces?
R
AD
A
A
Let's
start
with
the:
let's
do
them
in
order
I
think
we
started
with
cannabis
in
public
places
and
I
think
the
the
options
the
possibilities
were
to
follow
the
Minnesota
Clean
Indoor,
Air
Act,
so
no
additional
prohibitions
to
enact
prohibition
is
consistent
with
our
tobacco
prohibitions
or
to
create
a
separate
definition
of
public
place
specific
to
cannabis,
smoking
or
use
for
a
couple
of
things
that
people
have
already
brought
up.
I
think
it.
It
might
make
most
sense
to
enact
our
prohibitions
consistent
with
the
tobacco
prohibitions
that
we
have
in
place.
A
A
Frankly,
I
thought:
that's
what
we
had
originally
I
thought:
I
thought
our
ordinance
was
written
as
smoking
in
general,
but
I
think
it's
specific
tobacco
use
and
since
cannabis
isn't
considered
tobacco,
it
doesn't
necessarily
apply,
but
I
do
think.
This
is
probably
the
path
of
least
resistance
and
it
gets
to
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
we
have
and
I
think
councilmember
Lowman
to
your
point,
this,
the
the
the
notion
of
second-hand
smoke
as
opposed
to
somebody
eating
a
a
gummy.
C
S
S
Because
if
we're
consistent
about
it
being
an
intoxicating
substance,
then
we
could
apply
those
regulations
uniformly.
So
then
you
know
in
enforcement,
we
have
a
very
straight.
You
know
line.
If
you
will
same
if
we
do
tobacco,
the
question
becomes,
you
know
how
do
you?
How
do
you
you
know?
How
do
you
impact
the
ability?
The
public
intoxication
gets
hard
when
you're
talking
about
smoking,
something
if
you
don't
have
a
regulation
that
sides
with
smoking.
S
A
certain
thing
is
public
intoxication
and
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
what
to
to
offer
there
in
terms
of
of
a
specific
in
well,
maybe
I
do
I'm,
saying
I
I
think
that
leaning
towards
in
our
public
spaces
what
we,
what
we
regulate
for
the
purposes
of
of
intoxicating
substances,
might
be
a
better
like
uniform
answer,
but
I
I,
don't
know
if
that's
true,
because
you
know
I'm,
not
obviously
a
police
officer
and
I'm,
not
a
legal
professional.
So
I
don't
know.
Y
Let's
remember
more,
thank
you,
mayor
and
I
completely
agree
with
that
point.
That
was
my
biggest
hang
up
is
marijuana.
Thc
is
an
intoxicating
substance.
It
is
not
the
exact
same
as
tobacco,
and
so
my
train
of
thought
has
trended
more
to
the
alcohol
portion
of
it
right.
So
we
we,
you
can't
walk
down
the
street
drinking
a
beer.
F
B
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
think
so
I
agree
in
principle,
but
for
me
it
goes
back
to
the
enforcement
piece
and
I.
Just
I
mean
to
your
to
the
point
you
made
in
your
comment
before
around
your
conversation
with
police
officers
and
uneven
enforcement
and
just
issues
there
and
other
conversations
that
City
staff
have
had.
It
just
makes
me
very
concerned
that
it
would
get.
We
would
get
it
to
a
point
where
it's
so
over
complicated
that
it
would
be
impossible
to
enforce.
B
That
is
the
biggest
concern
for
me
again.
I
have
broader
concerns
right
that
I'm
sure
that
there
were
lots
of
conversations
that
were
had
at
the
state
level.
This
last
legislative
session
related
to
intoxicating
substances
and
people
using
them
when
they
legalized
THC
products,
but
for
our
purposes
here,
I
think
that's
the
direction
that
I'm
leaving.
S
Realized
I
should
have
checked
myself,
Mr
Mayor,
because
you
know
there's
another
I
can
I
can
make.
We
can
go
back
and
forth
on
this
argument
all
day.
Caffeine
and
tobacco
are
also
intoxicating
substance.
We
just
approve
of
them
because
they're
uppers
not
downers
I
mean,
let's
be
honest
right.
So
you
know
there's
plenty
of
health
concerns
associated
with
overuse
of
caffeine,
overuse
of
of
tobacco
Etc,
and
so
you
know
again
it's
a
question
of
enforcement,
but
it's
also
a
question
of
Public
Health
I.
A
B
So
I
I
it
is
a
evil
for
those
who
are
under
21.
to
possess
and
smoke
or
use
Tha
products
according
to
state
law.
So
there
would
be
enforcement
ability
there
in
that
situation.
If
a
police
officer
drove
by
and
saw
a
youth
using
marijuana
products
like
there,
it
is
illegal
for
youth
to
use
those
products.
B
S
AE
V
Is
quite
the
discussion
see
councilman
de
la
santro,
arguing
with
herself?
That's
that's
quite
the
yeah
quite
the
quite
the
evening.
So
I
guess
you
know
the
way
I
look
at
it.
Unless
we
were
to
you
know,
take
tobacco
products,
and
then
you
know
put
that
in
the
realm
of
alcohol.
I
just
don't
know
how
we
would
you
know,
look
at
that
as
being
an
intoxicating
piece
and
I.
V
R
R
I
am
concerned
about
the
gummies
and
the
Edibles
I
mean
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
doing
flavored
tobacco
because
we
thought
it
was
a
way
for
kids
to
get
it
and
now,
apparently,
you
can
get
flavored
candies
that
are
intoxicating
and
yeah,
and
you
know
I'm,
like
that's
just
a
weird
place
that
we're
at
you
know
in
my
mind
as
a
city,
the
and
I
do
have
concerns
about
that
being
in
a
park.
You
know
I
mean
that
falls
out
of
your
pocket
or
something
like
that.
R
I
mean
it's
not
I
mean
you
could
have
a
really
small
kid
coming
up
and
getting
that
I.
Don't
think
you're
going
to
have
a
really
small
kid
coming
up
and
grabbing
a
beer
out
of
the
cooler
opening
it
up
and
pounding
it
back.
You
know
so
that
you
know
that
is
a
concern
again:
I,
don't
I'm
not
trying
to
bind
anything
up
here,
mayor
and
I.
A
I
I
would
agree
with
you
just
one
moment
with
councilmember
Carter
I
would
agree
with
you
and
honestly.
My
thought
is
that
the
the
gummies
and
the
hard
candy
are
going
to
be
more
prevalent
than
the
smoking.
I
mean
nobody
likes
to
smoke.
Right
I
mean
that's
it's
it's
obvious.
It's
stinky
it's,
but
a
gummy
is
an
entirely
different
thing,
so
I
think
you're
you're
exactly
right
in
terms
of,
ultimately
what
the
use
is
going
to
end
up
being
councilmember
Carter.
Thank.
B
You
mayor,
I,
will
say:
I
was
at
Valley
Fair
on
Friday
and
I
smelled
marijuana
products
several
times
so
I'm
just
saying
so.
People
are
definitely
smoking
in
other
places,
but
I'm
just
wondering
for
this
one
specifically
and
maybe
for
the
other
two
too,
but
our
Advisory
Board
of
Health
has
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
our
tobacco
policy
work
and
obviously
it's
our
Advisory
Board
of
Health
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
get
them
to
weigh
in
on
this
one,
as
especially
because
I
do
think.
A
I
think
that
that's
probably
good
direction,
I
think
just
Colony
noses
here.
I'm,
seeing
the
prohibitions
consistent
with
the
debacle,
prohibitions,
I,
think,
because
the
group
consensus
here
but
I
agree,
that's
a
good
point.
Our
Advisory
Board
of
Health
should
probably
weigh
in
on
all
of
the
discussion
that
we're
having
here
and
all
the
different
possibilities
that
would
be
helpful.
A
A
S
A
S
I
do
have
one
specific
comment
on
this,
which
I
think
I
brought
up
going
back
to
when
we
did
our
our
original,
edible
question
and
and
giving
tobacco
stores
the
ability
to
sell
it.
I
was
disappointed
that
the
500
foot
setback
was
kind
of
tucked
in
there
and
we
never
had
a
discussion
in
the
public
forum
about
500
versus
300
versus
250
and,
and
so
I'd
really
like
to
see
us
get
consistent
with
that.
S
You
know,
because
we
did
that,
but
we
didn't
talk
about
it
as
a
council
and
so
and
I
don't
mean
to
disparage
anybody.
It
just
was
weird
that
it
all
of
a
sudden
was
it
it's.
The
only
thing
that
was
inconsistent
with
our
tobacco
stuff
on
the
on
the
edible
side
was
that
we
just
decided
to
add
200
extra
feet
and
it
just
seemed
weird
so
I'd
like
to
get
us
to
that
consistency.
So
I'd
be
very
much
in
in
in
favor
of
like
getting
that
all
together
at
300.
S
F
A
Thoughts
on
this
I
I
would
generally
agree
with
councilmember
dalessandro
I
think
to
make
it
consistent
again,
just
for
for
sake
of
consistency,
fairness
and
frankly,
ease.
It
probably
makes
the
most
sense
to
modify
those
setbacks
now,
whether
or
not
to
we've
already
got
it
or
allowing
the
sales
in
the
liquor
store
in
in
other
spots,
I
think
it
makes
again
consistent
sense
with
what
we're
doing
now.
I
councilmember
Lowman.
V
AD
V
Inside
I
mean
too
complicated
people
that
I
should
know
them.
I've
got
family
members
of
the
girl,
tobacco
yeah,
so
yeah,
no
I,
guess
so
I
guess
my
thing
is
as
I
look
at
this
is
that's
kind
of
My
Lens.
You
know
with
the
with
you
know
the
fact
that
you
could
you
could
grow
this
stuff
in
the
backyard
and
so
I
I'm
kind
of
like
I
mean
not
the
Edibles.
V
Of
course
I
mean
because
that's
you're
putting
in
there
but
I
I,
sort
of
have
kind
of
backed
off
of
you
know
what
difference
does
a
500
foot
or
300
foot?
You
know
barrier
really
mean
if
you
can,
you
know
just
go
in
somebody's
backyard
and
I
mean
yes,
it's
locked
up,
but
it's
there,
so
so
I
guess
as
I'm.
Looking
at
this
I
just
I,
don't
know
you
know
what
do
we
really
gain
from
from
any
of
this,
so
I'm
pretty
open
to
what?
V
What
other
folks
are
are
kind
of
open
to
wanting
to
do
and
I'm
just
more
concerned
about
the,
as
my
colleague
over
here
is
talking
about
some
of
these
Edibles
and
being
able
to
utilize
them
out
out
in
the
public
and
how
do
we?
How
do
we
enforce
that?
How
do
we
protect
our
folks?
It
seems
like
it's
the
same
flavored
thing
all
over
again
to
be,
but
just
in
a
different
form.
A
B
Oh,
thank
you,
mayor,
I'm,
fine
with
that
and
then
I
guess.
I
know
that
the
decision
was
to
have
The
Advisory
Board
of
Health
to
look
at
all
three
of
these
and
again
I
think
it's
kind
of
going
back
to
the
the
edible
issue
and
how
we
kind
of
think
about
that
as
a
community
and
what
we
can
do
about
that
and
so
I
think
so.
B
S
A
AD
AD
S
Ordinance
we
we
did
when
we
were
issuing
licenses,
though
right
because
I'm
pretty
sure
it
was
like
250
feet
or
something
I
remember
when
Mr
junker
came
forward
and
talked
to
us
about
the
cannabis
ordinance,
the
first
time
or
the
hemp
ordinance,
the
first
time
that
there
was
a
discrepancy.
There
wasn't
a
discrepancy
until
after
the
fact,
but
there
was
a
rule
at
the
time-
maybe
I'm
wrong
about
that.
S
But
if
we're,
if
we
don't
care
about
the
tobacco
piece,
that's
fine
I,
just
I,
just
like
I,
don't
know,
there's
like
if
you're
in
a
tobacco
store,
and
you
want
to
sell
cannabis,
your
subject
to
whatever
the
regulations
are
for
tobacco
and
if
that
just
seems
easier
to
me,
but
I
could
be
wrong.
Okay,
so
that's
fine!
You
guys
yeah!
You
take
that
back
and
do.
A
AD
And
mayor
and
council
member
de
la
Sandro,
so
it's
not
just
tobacco
stores
and
exclusive
liquor
stores
that
can
sell
the
lower
potency,
hemp,
edible
products.
And
so
that's
why
there's
a
separate
setback
in
city
code
because
you
may
have
a
shop
that
isn't
subject
to
a
well
tobacco.
We
don't
issue
those
licenses,
but
isn't
a
liquor
store.
So
it's
not
subject
to
that.
AD
You're
saying
the
Cannabis
mayor
and
council
members
dalessandro,
so
if
you're
not
selling
alcohol
within
your
gas
station,
but
then
you
decide
you
want
to
sell
the
lower
potency
have
Edibles.
You
would
only
be
subject
to
the
lower
potency
hemp,
edible
setback.
There
wouldn't
be
another
one
that
kind
of
exists
further:
okay,.
S
I
understand
I'll
I'll
I'll
return
to
my
original
thing,
which
is
liquor
stores,
make
them
the
same.
I
there's
a
whole
thing
about
about
I'm
just
concerned
about
enforcement,
because
I
think
you
go
into
a
gas
station
and
you
buy
an
edible
and
they're,
not
enforcing
that
any
better
than
they're
enforcing
their
tobacco,
and
there
was
a
reason
we
banned
flavored
tobacco
because
we
knew
that
they
weren't
necessarily
enforcing
the
rules
and
that
people
were
marketing
to
kids
and
and
everything
else.
S
R
I'm,
okay,
with
the
it
being
sold
at
liquor
stores
it's
my
understanding
that
this
would
not
be
an
exclusive
ride
for
the
liquor
stores.
It
would
just
be
something
new
because
they
were
originally
not
allowed
to
do
it,
so
this
would
just
be
in
addition
to
the
other
places
that
are
already
able
to
sell
it.
Mayor.
R
I
agree
with
consistency
on
the
setbacks
and
I
would
note
that
I
believe
communities
that
have
Municipal
liquor
stores
that
aren't
too
far
away
Edina
and
Lakeville
I
believe
they're,
both
already
selling
THC
products
in
their
Municipal
stores
and
two
well,
except
somebody
made
in
terms
of
penalties.
I
saw
that
Edina
on
the
sale
use
their
alcohol
penalties
as
opposed
to
the
sale
of
tobacco
penalties.
R
V
Councilmember
Lohman
ever
so
briefly,
I
guess
I
was
wrong.
You
can
grow
tobacco
in
Minnesota,
apparently
well.
It
used
to
do
at
Meeker,
County
I
think
you
can
grow
him.
Oh
this
is.
This
is
tobacco.
No,
this
is
tobacco
here,
I
just
decided
yeah
it's
online,
so
it's
true,
yeah
I,
don't
see
why
the
historical
society
would
lie
about
something
like
that,
but
I'm.
U
A
AD
Rn
city,
council,
I,
a
I,
think
there
are
some
that
were
very
anxious
to
put
a
moratorium
in
place
right
away
to
kind
of
make
sure
they
had
the
time
and
space
to
make.
That
decision.
I
haven't
heard
from
too
many
of
my
colleagues
that
they're
kind
of
yeah
we'll
wait
and
see
what
happens,
but
we
certainly
wanted
to
lay
it
out
there
as
an
option
that
there
isn't
well.
We
may
want
to
discuss
it
now.
AD
There
isn't
anything
that
says
we
can't
come
back
to
it
at
a
later
date
and
we
kind
of
through
spring
2024
out
there,
because
that's
when
we
expect
to
get
underway
with
the
rest
of
our
ordinance
amendments
and
have
a
better
idea
of
exactly
what
that
timing
looks
like
and
what
the
state
is
doing.
But
really
at
any
time
the
city
council
could
decide
to
enact
moratorium
through
December
of
2024.
R
Thank
you,
mayor,
I'm,
fine,
waiting
and
just
seeing
where
the
state's
at
and
seeing
how
long
it
takes
us
to
get
through.
This
I
got
confidence
that
our
staff,
if
they
see
like
hey
this,
is
taking
us
longer
if
we're
working
with
our
Advisory
Board
of
Health
and
going
through
a
really
robust
process,
and
you
think
you
need
more
time
come
back
and
ask
for
the
moratorium.
Then.
A
See
a
thumbs
up
here,
I
mean
that
that's
what
I
was
thinking
as
well.
I,
don't
know
it
I
would
hate
to
say
we're
never
going
to
act
tomorrow.
Moratorium,
I'd
hate
to
jump
in
and
do
one
now
I
think
the
decision
to
wait
until
spring
of
2024
see
where
the
state
is
at
the
time
and
make
a
decision.
Then
there's
no
great
Rush
either
way.
I,
don't
think.
F
A
A
B
H
Boogie
Mr,
Mayor
and
council
members
as
we
go
forward
in
the
process.
There
are
a
number
of
other
policy
issues
that
are
going
to
come
up,
and
so
there
are
things
that
we
do
want
to
get
input
from
the
community
on
that,
frankly,
are
maybe
a
little
more
substantial
than
what
we
talked
about
today
and
we'll
take
a
little
bit
more
thoughtful
design
in
terms
of
how
we
try
to
invite
constructive
conversation.
Could
I
I
can
imagine
a
topic
like
this
is
going
to
invite
some
unconstructive
conversation
as
well
right?
S
Just
a
quick
follow-up
to
that
Mr
Mayor,
thank
you,
I
want
to.
As
always,
the
presentation
did,
a
great
job,
I.
Think
of
of
summarizing,
not
only
the
timeline
but
also
the
the
regular
taking
a
massive
document
and
turning
it
into
a
PowerPoint
slide
that
we
could
all
kind
of
you
know.
Rock
was
pretty
good.
S
I,
actually
think
a
public
interest
piece
on
this
is
valid,
an
educational
piece
because
I
think
setting
the
context
for
for
the
public
about
what
we
do
have
control
over
and
what
we
don't
is
really
important
and
because
otherwise,
you
set
yourself
up
for
conversations
that
frustrate
people,
and
then
we
can't
do
anything
about
them
anyway.
So
I
don't
know.
If
that's
something
that
we
could
do
a
video
on
or
if
it's
something
we
could
do
a
pub.
You
know
a
Bloomington
briefing.
S
You
know
story
on
or
something,
but
something
that
gives
the
public
a
good
like.
Here's
where
we
are
at
and
here's
what
we
have
control
over,
what
we
don't
and
that's.
Why
we're
looking
at
these
three
things
as
opposed
to
all
the
other
things
you
might
think
of,
because
these
are
the
ones
we
have
control
over
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful.
Thank.
H
You
Mr
verbrugge
I'd,
agree
with
that.
Mr
mayor
council
members,
council,
member
dalessandro,
you
know,
there's
also
going
to
be
a
discussion
about
Revenue
that
comes
to
local
units
of
government
as
well,
because
obviously
the
the
legislature
included
a
component
there
for
how
the
tax
is
going
to
be
distributed
and
I
think
at
some
point
we're
going
to
need
to
have
a
conversation
about
how
we
philosophically
want
to
utilize
those
allocations
that
come
to
the
city.
H
I've
heard
discussion
tonight
about
public
safety
and
about
public
health,
and
you
know
anytime,
there's
a
new
Revenue
stream,
that's
presented
to
the
to
the
city.
We
want
to
be
thoughtful
about
how
we're
utilizing
that
there
are
also
other
Revenue
potentials.
The
law
gives
local
units
of
government
the
opportunity
to
get
licenses
for
dispensary
or
Retail
Services,
just
as
anybody
else
would,
but
it
doesn't
have
the
same
sort
of
the
same
sort
of
parameters
that
the
state
does
around
liquor,
and
so
you
know,
municipalities
that
would
be
able
to
have
their
own
liquor.
H
Operation
essentially
have
Monopoly
in
that
private
liquor
operations
are
not
allowed
within
a
city
that
has
public.
That
component
is
not
in
this
bill,
so
understanding
you
know
what
sort
of
that
competitive
or
private
Dynamic
looks
like
is
something
that
we'll
want
to
take
a
look
at
as
well.
So,
like
I
said,
there
are
a
number
of
different
policy
issues
beyond
the
ones
that
we
talked
about
tonight
and
as
we
move
further
into
the
implementation
phase
and
learn
more
about
the
rule
making
process
and
how
the
office
of
cannabis
management
is
going
to
approach.
A
AD
What
we
can
expect
with
our
RCV
tabulation
and
our
election
night
reporting
so
I'll
go
to
the
second
slide
here,
all
right.
We're
going
to
talk
about
some
resources
for
our
voters.
Some
key
election
dates
that
we
have
coming
up.
How
we're
going
to
report
results
on
Election
night?
What
the
RCV
tabulation
process
will
look
like
in
2023
when
the
canvassing
board
will
be
and
then
some
information
about
a
post-election
review,
which
is
new
to
us
here
in
Bloomington.
AD
So
some
resources
for
our
voters,
the
Secretary
of
State's
website-
is
always
a
great
place
to
send
voters
when
they
want
where
they
want
to
know,
am
I
registered.
Where
do
I
register?
What
is
where's
my
polling
place?
Where
do
I
go
to
vote?
Voters
can
actually
look
up
their
exact
sample
ballot
for
their
precinct
on
that
Secretary
of
State's
website.
I
will
point
out
that
the
state
very
recently
updated
that
to
mnvotes.gov
it
used
to
be
mnvotes.org.
AD
So
if
you
see
mnvotes.org,
that
website
still
works
and
it's
actually
in
a
lot
of
the
materials
we
have,
because
we
learned
very
very
recently
about
the
change
that
mnvotes.gov
is
a
legitimate
website.
That's
the
new
website
or
the
new
URL
that
the
state
is
using
moving
forward
for
their
site
and
then
Hennepin
County's
website
becomes
especially
important
during
our
off
your
off-year
election
cycles.
For
those
who
want
to
vote
absentee
by
mail,
they
actually
have
to
work
Direct
with
Hennepin
County
for
that
application
process.
AD
So
you
may
remember:
in
a
even
year
at
election
right,
you
can
go
on
the
Secretary
of
State's
website
and
you
can
submit
an
online
absentee
ballot
application
and
have
that
ballot
sent
directly
to
your
home.
The
law
does
not
allow
the
Secretary
of
State's
office
to
turn
that
online
application
on
for
our
off-year
elections.
AD
So
sometimes
you'll
hear
people
say,
or
you
know,
hear,
voters
say
well,
they
they
I
can't
go
online
and
I
can't
apply,
and
that
is
correct.
To
a
certain
extent,
they
can
go
on
to
the
County's
website
and
download
that
application
and
then
submit
that
application
to
the
county
via
email
and
then
a
lot
of
people
will
just
take
a
picture
of
it
and
then
submit
that
picture
to
the
county.
But
it
is
a
little
bit
more
cumbersome
of
a
process
than
we
have
in
the
even
numbered
election
year.
AD
AD
AD
So
it'll
be
very
easy
for
members
of
the
public
to
come
in.
You
walk
in
on
either
side
of
the
lobby
doors
and
there's
our
election.
There's
our
polling
place
for
anybody
in
Bloomington,
who'd
like
to
come
and
vote
early,
we're
open,
regular
business
hours,
8
to
4
30
Monday
through
Friday.
We're
also
open
this
Saturday
before
the
election
from
nine
to
three
and
we
stay
open
until
five
on
the
Monday
before
the
election.
AD
For
anybody
who
wants
to
register
ahead
of
time
on
Election
Day
because
either
they
haven't
voted
before
they've
changed
their
name
or
changed
their
address
that
cut
off
is
October
17th.
So
if
I
want
to
be
able
to
walk
into
my
polling
place
and
say,
hey
I'm,
Christina,
scipioni
and
I
live
at
1234
Main
Street
and
have
my
name
on
the
roster
I
need
to
make
sure
that
I'm
registered
by
October
17th.
AD
Anybody
who
isn't
registered
by
that
date
can
still
register
to
vote
on
Election
Day,
but
they
do
need
to
show
additional
proof
of
residence
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
that
same
thing.
If
they
want
to
come
vote
early
in
person
and
they're
not
yet
registered,
they
go
through
that
same
voter
registration
application
process
and
showing
proof
of
residence
here
with
us
something
we're
excited
about
this
year.
This
last
legislative
session,
they
have
in
the
state
increased
the
time
frame
for
direct
balloting.
AD
So
that
is
the
process
where
the
voter,
when
they
come
to
vote
early
and
in
person
instead
of
taking
their
ballot
and
putting
it
into
a
series
of
envelopes,
they
can
feed
it
directly
through
the
ballot
counter.
The
benefit
to
the
voter
is
that
they're
then
able
to
receive
immediate
feedback
from
the
ballot
counter.
AD
If
they've
made
a
mistake
right,
if
I
selected
too
many
candidates
in
One
race,
it
will
tell
you
that
if
I
brought
in
a
highlighter
and
used
a
highlighter
on
that
ballot
and
the
ballot
can't
find
any
votes
on
it,
it
will
tell
you
that
right
and
then
the
voter
can
go
and
fix
their
fix
their
mistakes
with
a
fresh
ballot.
So
that
used
to
be
just
seven
days
before
the
election,
and
now
it
is
18
days.
AD
AD
AD
AD
We
actually
get
a
report
on
Election
night
from
the
county
that
gives
us
the
total
number
of
votes
cast,
and
then
we
report
out
on
our
website
on
the
Bloomington
website
the
First
Choice
rankings
that
include
the
overvotes
and
the
undervotes.
So
for
that
same
race,
if
you
only
looked
at
the
Secretary
of
State's
website
and
the
reporting
for
First
Choice
votes,
we
had
a
candidate
who
looked
like
they
received
51
percent.
AD
AD
And
so
we
recommend
right
if
a
racist,
you
should
look
at
our
website
anyway,
because
it's
great,
but
if
a
race
is
close
right,
if
50
51
52
percent
you're
really
going
to
want
to
take
a
look
at
our
RCV
tabulation
results
right
in
our
election
night
report.
I'm
sorry,
our
election
night
reporting
to
make
sure
that
you're
taking
a
look
at
the
total
votes
cast
and
what
that
maximum
threshold
is
to
see
if
any
candidate
has
has
met
that
maximum
threshold.
AD
AD
So
when
we
do
tabulation
rounds
this
year,
we
will
actually
we'll
complete
them
by
contest
for
any
of
the
contests
that
require
them,
and
this
is
the
order
that
we'll
be
moving
in
this
year.
You
may
remember
in
2021
that
we
started
with
the
districts
and
then
moved
to
the
at-large
race,
but
because
we
are
switching
to
a
spreadsheet,
tabulation
method,
it's
actually
just
as
efficient
to
start
with
the
city-wide
races
and
then
move
through
the
district
races.
AD
So
I'm
excited
to
announce
that
tabulation
rounds
will
actually
begin
on
Wednesday
the
day
after
the
election
in
the
afternoon,
and
the
reason
for
that
is.
We
are
using
the
spreadsheet
tabulation
method
this
year.
So
you
remember
two
years
ago
we
physically
moved
all
of
the
ballots
and
it
took
us
three
days
to
count
three
races
and
do
those
tabulation
rounds.
AD
And
so
there
is
a
process
by
which
the
pairs
of
employees
are
sorting
that
information
and
doing
the
same
process
as
you
would
with
physical
ballots,
except
it's
much
faster,
because
you
can
use
Excel
and
hit
sort,
and
then
you
can
use
Excel
to
count
right.
The
number
that
you
have,
and
so
we
expect
that
to
speed
up
our
results,
reporting
quite
a
bit
and
the
other
benefit
is.
We
can
start
earlier
because
we
can
electronically
receive
the
cash
flow
record
from
Hennepin
County.
AD
Instead
of
having
to
actually
physically
go
get
all
of
the
absentee
ballots
as
we
did
in
2021.
So
we
have
guard
rails
in
place.
We
have
checks
in
place
for
this
process,
so
for
every
race.
You
have
two
different
pairs
of
staff
that
are
working
separately
right
and
then
there
are
defined
check-in
throughout
the
process
so
that,
if
they
don't
they
come
together
and
their
numbers
don't
meet,
they
have
to
go
back
and
check
where
that
mistake
was
made
right.
We
don't
move
forward
until
we
know
that
both
teams
have
the
exact
same
result.
AD
AD
So
if,
after
that,
first
round
of
tabulation,
we
don't
have
a
candidate
that
meets
that
50
plus
one
threshold,
then
the
candidate
with
the
lowest
number
of
votes
and
any
candidate
for
whom
it's
mathematically
impossible
to
be
elected
are
eliminated.
And
then
we
take
a
look
at
their
next
highest
continuing
candidate
and
their
vote
is
moved
to
their
next
highest
continuing
continuing
candidate.
AD
AD
AD
As
we're
going
through
these
tabulation
rounds,
we
will
report
the
results
in
two
places.
It
will
be
physically
posted
here
at
Civic
Plaza
and
then
they
will
also
be
posted
online
on
our
website
and
after
they'll
be
reported
after
every
single
tabulation
round,
not
just
after
the
tabulation
for
that
complete
Race
So.
After
every
round
you
will
see
new
tabulations
on
our
website.
AD
AD
If
we
have
a
substantial
number
of
races
that
require
tabulation
rounds,
we
may
need
to
push
that
canvassing
date
out
later
to
make
sure
that
our
staff
have
enough
time
to
tabulate
I.
Don't
anticipate
that
being
the
case,
but
I
just
want
to
preview
that
for
you
just
in
case,
we
have
to
Canvas
the
results
by
Friday
November
17th.
F
A
AD
C
AD
And
this
is
pretty
exciting
this
year.
We
didn't
do
this
in
2021
because
it
wasn't
required,
but
this
year,
because
we
are
using
the
spreadsheet
tabulation,
we
are
actually
doing
what's
called
a
post-election
review
and
it's
very
similar
to
the
process
that
is
done
at
the
state
level
when
we
have
statewide
races
on
the
ballot,
so
we
do
a
public
hand
count
of
One
race.
If
there's
a
district
race,
we
do
a
district
race.
If
there
aren't
any
District
races
that
required
tabulation
rounds,
then
we
would
move
to
a
city-wide
race
and
I
should
clarify.
AD
This
process
is
only
required
if
tabulation
rounds
are
required.
So
if,
on
Election
night,
none
of
the
races
require
tabulation
rounds,
we
would
not
do
this
process,
but
for
any
of
the
rate
for
if
we
do
require
tabulation
around
in
at
least
one
race,
then
we
moved
to
the
post-election
review
and
so
it'll
be
set
up
very
similar
to
our
RCV
tabulation
Center
that
we
had
and
the
public
can
come
in
and
they
can
watch
that
process
as
we
physically
move
the
ballots
through
tabulation.
AD
S
AD
Mayor
and
council
member
de
Lisandro,
sometimes
there
are
small
discrepancies
when
you
are
doing
the
spreadsheet
tabulation,
we
are
not
viewing
an
actual
ballot,
so
you
can't
determine
voter
intent.
So
sometimes
a
voter
may
have
an
overvote
in
a
race
and
that's
what
the
machine
reports
out
and
that's
what
ends
up
on
our
spreadsheet
right.
But
when
we
actually
physically
look
at
the
ballot
they've
written
in
this
one
right,
and
so
sometimes
you
will
see
differences
like
that.
AD
But
overall,
if
there
is
a
significant
difference
between
the
hand,
count
and
the
spreadsheet
tabulation,
and
it's
not
for
things
like
that,
that
can
be
explained.
Then
we
move
to
the
hand
tabulation
right
and
that
can
actually
cause
us
to
go
retabulate,
depending
on
the
difference
between
the
two.
It
can
actually
cause
us
trigger
a
hand
tabulation
of
all
of
our
tabulated
braces
thanks.
A
A
So
I
appreciated
Ken
coming
forward
and
bringing
that
to
our
attention.
Ava,
McKnight
and
other
speakers
for
Buzz
Fest
came
before
us
and
they
were
looking
for
support
for
alt
Lawns
and
that
event,
Buzz
Fest
is
actually
taking
place
on
Saturday
the
16th
at
10
A.M.
To
1
pm
at
Moyer
Park
and
encourage
people
to
get
there
and
then
Mike
and
I
missed
Mike's.
Last
name
help
me
here
list
Mike
list.
Thank
you
very
much
continuing
to
have
issues
with
the
group
home
that
abuts
his
house
from
behind.
A
He
had
questions
about
the
level
of
supervision
for
residents,
as
well
as
the
conduct
of
some
of
the
staff
members,
and
we
have
agreed
that
the
city
is
going
to
take
the
step
of
notifying
the
licensing
agency.
We
believe
it's
the
state
in
this
instance
to
try
and
look
into
some
of
these
concerns
and
work
with
the
neighbors
to
address
some
of
these
issues.
A
I
think
with
well
Mike
has
been
by
in
the
past,
but
that
gives
us
again
three
of
four
speakers
tonight,
our
first
time
speakers
at
our
listening
session.
So
once
again
our
goal
of
trying
to
get
more
people
to
come
and
speak
to
the
council
during
the
listening
session
on
a
variety
of
topics.
I
think
we're
we're
managing
to
do
so
with
our
listening
sessions.
A
That
is
all
I
have
actually
I
would
would.
What
is
one
other
thing?
The
on
the
one
Festival
on
Saturday
was
very
cool.
If
you
got
I,
know
I
think
councilmember
dalessandro
had
a
chance
to
get
there.
I
stopped
by
and
just
a
a
great
afternoon
and
evening
of
music
and
just
kind
of
a
general
Vibe
of
the
area
was
was
just
very
positive
and
really
really
a
good
feeling.
A
Looking
forward
to
it
talked
with
the
promoter,
the
the
producer,
the
the
head
of
avant-garde,
the
production
company
that
does
it
and
looking
for
opportunities
to
make
it
bigger
and
better
and
I
told
them.
We
definitely
were
on
board
with
that
and
we
try
and
find
ways
to
make
it
all
work.
So
yeah
good
show
once
again
this
year.
H
You
Mr
Mayor
I
got
a
couple
items
first
of
all,
just
a
reminder
that
Bloomington
pride
is
coming
up
on
Sunday,
September,
10th
and
again
we'll
have
a
a
table
for
city
council
to
be
there.
So
please,
let
me
or
Matt
Brill
Hart
know
if
you
will
be
there
and
we'll
make
sure
that
everything
is
situated.
So
again,
that's
happening
here
at
Civic,
Plaza
on
Sunday,
September,
10th,
a
really
nice
Community
event
that
we've
had
for
the
last
couple
years
been
very
successful.
H
Hope
it
continues
to
grow
the
other
similar
to
on
the
one
second
year.
For
that
so
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
that
Mr
Mayor
glad
to
see
that
growing
as
well.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
late.
Last
week
we
had
a
we
had
a
homicide
in
Bloomington.
A
very
unfortunate
situation.
Nephew
of
a
couple
in
their
70s
is
the
suspect
in
that
case,
and
unfortunate
very
unfortunate
event.
What
I?
H
What
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
tonight
is
again
the
tremendous
work
done
by
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
in
responding
immediately
to
that
call
being
there
so
promptly
that
they
were
able
to
apprehend
the
suspect
in
the
area.
Right
away
and
delivered
emergency
first
aid
to
both
of
the
victims.
Unfortunately,
one
of
them
did
die
and
again
making
sure
that
things
that,
when
they
happen
like
this,
in
Bloomington
people,
people
are
held
to
account
and
they
did
tremendous
work
in
that.
H
A
C
S
Just
because
it
was
I,
I
think
I
said,
I
was
going
to
kind
of
defer
my
comments
on
this
to
the
to
the
the
section
we
know,
I
mean
we're
practically
in
crisis
mode
as
it
relates
to
trees
in
the
city
number
one.
They
can't
come
down
because
we
don't
have
enough
resources
for
it
number
two
they're
dying
quickly
because
of
the
drought
and
and
everything,
and
we
can't
water
them
fast
enough.
I
I'd
like
to
I
made
him
mention
that
you
know
at
this.
S
S
You
know
incentives
like
that
there
are
cool
cool
programs,
I
think
Hopkins
has
one
Minneapolis
has
ones
that
that's
actually
like
a
set
aside
like
program,
for
you
know
that
you
literally
fund
a
green
program
that
says,
if
you're
doing
these
kinds
of
things
we'll
support
you
with
you
know,
maybe
50
of
the
cost
or
whatever
and
I
I,
don't
know.
If
that's
something
we
can
do
in
the
case
of
tree
canopy,
but
it's
a
it's
burdening
on
a
crisis.
S
I
had
like
half
the
flower,
the
the
songbirds
that
I
normally
do
in
my
yard,
because
I
had
to
take
a
nap
one
of
my
ash
trees
down-
and
you
know
it's
just
it's
it's
an
environmental
impact
that
we
just
can't
necessarily
wrap
our
hands
around
right
now,
but
the
sooner
we
can
do
something
about
it,
I
think
the
better
great
trees
available
oak
trees.
You
know
crab
apples,
all
kinds
of
other
cool
trees
that
we
could
be
planting.
That
will
sustain
itself
50
70
years.
S
So
you
know
no
reason
not
to
try
to
get
those
in
the
ground
as
soon
as
possible.
My
opinion
so
throw
that
out
there
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
want
to
consider
that
at
all,
but
it
feels
like
the
right
kind
of
thing
to
do.
We
have
strategic
priority
for
crisis
management
around
climate
and
we
have
the
strict
the
funds
to
potentially
help
us
out
here
so
I
throw
that
out
thanks,
Mr.
H
Brookie,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
and
council
members,
councilmember
dalessandro
as
councils
aware
we'll
have
a
number
of
budget
conversations
coming
up
in
October
and
November
of
this
year
and
when
we
talk
about
Parks
and
Recreation,
that's
a
prime
opportunity
to
talk
about
our
forestry
program.
We'll
also
I,
think
carve
out
some
time
just
to
talk
about
the
Strategic
priorities
fund
and
the
utilization
of
those
dollars
and
what
the
council
would
like
to
look
at
over
the
next
year.
B
Thank
you,
mayor
I
was
debating
whether
or
not
to
bring
this
up.
So
a
couple
months
ago,
councilmember
Lowman
and
I
received
an
email
from
a
gentleman
who
he
and
his
partner
had
bought
a
condo
in
a
building
in
Bloomington
and
later
found
out
that
they
had
next
door
neighbors
that
smoked
inside
their
unit
and
it
really
affected
them
and
I
know.
We've
had
conversations
around
smoke-free
housing
and
we
haven't
moved
those
conversations
forward
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
but
one
of
the
ideas
that
the
gentleman
had
was
around
mandatory
disclosures.
B
So
if
an
apartment,
building
or
a
Condo
building
did
allow
smoking
and
and
I'm
thinking
about
this
because
of
tonight's
conversation
around
smoking,
marijuana
products,
cannabis
products
I
am
wondering,
if
maybe
that's
a
policy.
We
want
to
look
at
again,
especially
with
these
new
conversations
around
cannabis
use
and
again
to
just
you
know,
not
necessarily
going
down
the
route
of
prohibiting
it
in
multi-family
housing,
but
at
least
making
it
a
requirement
for
building
owners
to
disclose
whether
they
are
a
smoke-free
building
or
not
and
smoke
meeting
both
products,
tobacco
and
cannabis.
V
A
I
would
support
it
does
something
to
take
a
look
into
I
mean
that's
a
novel
approach
that
I
hadn't
thought
of
in
the
past
and
wondering
how
it
works,
especially
I
can
see
how
it'll
work
with
Condominiums,
where
you're
purchasing,
but
for
an
apartment.
Building
that
turns
over
it
would
be
difficult,
I
think
to
yeah.
P
A
B
V
A
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
adjourn
tonight's
meeting.
No
further
Council
discussion
on
this.
All
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
6-0
thanks
much
for
the
council
good
discussion
tonight
on
a
variety
of
different
topics.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
to
the
staff
for
your
outstanding
presentations

good
