Description
Bloomington Minnesota City Council / Port Authority Concurrent Meeting
A
A
And
we'll
start
as
we
do
with
a
roll
call,
mr
brilliant,
if
you
could
call
the
role
of
the
city
council,
please.
C
A
Very
good,
we
have
five
items
of
new
business
on
tonight's
agenda,
including
the
fifth
item
is
a
closed
session
to
discuss
a
possible
acquisition
of
the
adjoining
lands
and
the
spruce
shadows
farm,
and
so
we
will
be
going
into
closed
session
for
folks
who
are
in
the
room
here
and
who
are
watching
at
home
and
when
we
get
to
that,
we
will
pass
a
resolution
to
go
into
that
closed
session
and
we'll
have
to
close
out
and
then
come
back
into
open
session
to
act
on
any
decisions
that
we
had
made
during
the
closed
session
and
to
eventually
close
the
meeting
or
adjourn
the
meeting.
A
I
guess
we're
gonna
say
close
and
adjourn.
We're
gonna
get
confused
there
if
we
do
it
that
way.
So
our
first
item
tonight
is
item
1.1,
which
is
a
resolution
approving
laws
of
minnesota
2021..
E
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
council,
members,
mr
president
and
port
authority
members.
So
tonight
the
first
two
items
relate
to
laws
that
were
passed
as
part
of
the
2021
legislative
session
and
it's
important
for
the
the
city
of
bloomington,
not
the
port
authority,
to
approve
these
laws
before
the
next
legislative
session
begins
in
order
for
the
city
to
use
those
laws.
E
And
so
that's
what
we're
asking
and
recommending
of
the
council
to
do
this
evening
is
to
again
for
both
of
these
items,
1.1
and
1.2,
to
approve
the
special
session
chapter,
article
and
section
related
to
american
boulevard
in
the
first
item
and
98th
street
and
aldrich
in
the
second
item.
They
both
relate
to
redevelopment
tif
districts
that
were
put
into
law
in
2021
that
the
city
requested
and
sought
the
special
legislation
for
those
redevelopment
projects
and
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
related
to
that.
A
D
May
or
I
will
move
to
adopt
a
resolution
approving
laws,
sorry
a
I
will
move
to
adopt
a
resolution
approving
laws
of
minnesota
2021.
First
special
session
chapter
14,
article
9,
section
7,
relating
to
american
boulevard
tax,
increment
financing,
district.
A
D
A
Motion
by
council
member
coulter
is
seconded
by
council
member
loehmann
to
approve
item
1.2,
as
stated
no
further
council
discussion
on
this.
Mr
biller.
A
Aye
motion
carries
6-0
right
in
1.3
discussion
of
the
small
business
development
center,
something
that
both
the
port
and
the
council
have
talked
about
in
the
past
and
interested
to
hear
more
I've
heard
bits
and
pieces,
and
I'm
very
intrigued
about
where
we
might
be
headed
here
so
good
evening
to
carla
henderson
and
to
barb.
Well,
thank
you
barb.
I
looked
at
you
and
completely
blanked.
I
apologize
so
okay.
F
It's
hard
to
see
me
without,
with
my
mask
on.
A
F
So
kind
of
the
question
is:
is
how
did
we
get
here
and
why
are
we
asking
to
apply
for
this
federal
funding
of
1.5
million
dollars
for
a
small
business
development
center?
So
last
year,
due
to
the
pandemic,
the
cares
act.
Funding
the
city
council
did
appropriate
dollars
to
our
small
business
community
for
forgivable
loans.
F
Hadn't
worked
with
businesses
in
the
past,
and
so
as
part
of
this
effort
going
out
to
the
neighborhood
commercial
nodes,
where
we
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
small
businesses,
I
went
out
to
the
businesses
door-to-door
to
tell
them
about
this
program,
to
meet
business
owners,
to
build
relationships,
establish
trust
and,
and
you
know,
sort
of
have
a
face
to
the
city,
and
through
these
efforts
it
really
became
pretty
clear
that
the
city
could
do
a
much
better
job
of
communicating
with
the
small
business
owners
trying
to
retain
them,
build
their
capacity
and
their
growth.
F
This
also
does
align
with
a
number
of
the
council
strategic
priorities:
the
development
of
the
neighborhood
commercial
nodes,
which
I
mentioned.
We
know
that
those
are
older,
neighborhood
nodes
and
a
lot
of
those
have
lower
rents.
They
have
smaller
businesses
and
we
know
that
they
are.
A
lot
of
them
are
culturally
owned
as
well,
which
is
where
I
focus
my
efforts
on
this
can
also
diversify
the
local
economy,
building
the
the
growth
in
the
capacity
and
environmental
sustainability.
F
You
know
when
we
first
were
looking
at
this.
We
weren't
sure
where
the
location
would
be,
but
now
we've
focused
on
the
former
fire
station
three
over
in
the
south
loop
district
and
prior
plans,
for
that
were
to
tear
it
down.
So
this
would
be
renovating
an
existing
building
owned
by
the
city
and
then
also
expanding
our
high
quality
services
that
the
city
already
has
but
helping
the
small
business
community.
F
F
F
So
this
is
one
of
them,
the
small
business
support
and
looking
at
supporting
our
entre
entrepreneurs
and
small
businesses,
and
this
was
a
little
picture
that
came
out
of
that,
and
so
it
just
sort
of
is
very
warming
and
sentimental
that
you
know
here,
here's
a
little
building
that
we
have
and-
and
this
is
us
conducting
a
resource
center
where
businesses
can
come
to
us
and
we
can
help
them
with
with
those
needs
that
they
have,
and
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
director
of
community
development,
carla
henderson.
G
G
It
is
it
going
to
be
current
staff,
and
at
that
point
I
thought
well,
we
had
some
more
work
to
do
and
then
I
started
to
think
about
how
do
we
leverage
this
half
a
million
dollars,
and
so
I
reached
out
to
the
mcknight
foundation,
the
new
president
and
ceo
actually
is
from
detroit,
and
I
did
work
with
her.
There
faith
jackson
and
I
did
a
call
with
her
and
we
said
we
have
this
concept.
G
Do
you
think
you
know
this
foundation
could
support
it?
She
said,
I
think
so,
but
let
me
get
a
program
officer
on
there
and
lo
and
behold,
we
ended
up
talking
to
a
gentleman
who
was
raised
here
in
bloomington
went
to
kennedy
high
school,
his
parents
still
live
here
and
he
encouraged
us
to
apply
the
initial
inquiry,
and
then
we
just
got
word
last
week
that
the
foundation
would
like
us
to
put
a
full
proposal
together
so
carolyn
next
time.
G
I
want
to
talk
through
kind
of
like
some
of
the
leveraging,
the
arpa
funds
for
additional
funding
sources.
So
we're
going
to
ask
mcknight
foundation
for
250
000.,
then
barb
happened
to
be
on
the
phone.
I
kind
of
joke
like
this
is
the
project
that
keeps
growing.
I
was
on
the
phone
with
hennepin
county
and
they
said
you
know
you
should
really
talk
to
the
eda.
G
They
have
three
times
the
amount
of
funding
through
the
arpa
funds,
and
so
through
jason,
talking
to
our
regional
representative
out
of
chicago
barb
made
that
connection,
and
he
was
extremely
encouraged
and
encouraged
us
to
apply
because
they
have
so
much
money
set
aside
for
this
region.
They
don't
have
any
applications.
G
As
of
to
date-
and
he
said
this
is
something
that
he
could
see
the
his
him
and
his
colleagues
supporting,
then
we
marine
o'brien
from
legal
sends
us
an
email
well
minnesota
deeds
now
has
a
community
capital
project
grant
for
750
000,
and
so
as
we're
going
through
this
process
of
identifying
funding
we're
like
well,
we
should
throw
our
hat
in
that
ring
as
well,
so
these
would
all
be
for
capital
improvements.
The
building
is
solid,
duke
johnson
and
deb
williams
have
been
involved.
G
You
need
to
upgrade
the
plumbing
and
so
forth,
so
so
they're
working
on
getting
us
those
numbers,
and
then
I
turn
to
my
colleague
shane,
and
I
say
how
can
we
pay
for
operations
so
that
we
can
you
know,
can
we
use
the
south
loop
levy?
You
know
I
was
like:
how
can
we
do
this
and
he-
and
I
talked
about
maybe
now
is
the
time
to
start
talking
about
turning
on
the
port
levy,
and
I
don't
know
shane
if
you
want
to
add
anything
about
our
conversation
with
that.
E
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
president,
commissioners.
So
yeah
I
mean
I,
I
think
it's
time
to
start
talking
about
potentially
turning
on
the
port
levy
for
a
project
like
this.
I
think
it's
something
that
is
really
supported
by
the
council
and
port
authority
through
all
the
work
that
you
know.
We,
as
staff
have
been
doing
during
covid
for
business
development
and
the
port
levy
is
as
flexible
money
as
there
is
out
there
because
of
the
poor's
economic
development
powers,
and
it's
probably
a
really
appropriate
use
of
that
power.
E
G
Thank
you
shane.
So
the
next
slide
is
just
a
picture.
G
Like
barb
said
we
we
don't
believe
we
should
tear
down
and
build
something
new.
We
love
the
firehouse
feel
we
want
to
create
a
space
and
a
community
that
will
uplift
entrepreneurs.
What
we
love
about
this
is
that
it
isn't
a
neighborhood.
It
is
in
the
backyard
of
two
affordable
housing
complexes,
managed
owned
and
managed
by
ann,
it's
close
to
transit
and,
like
I
said
it,
it's
got
good
bones.
As
duke
said,
you
know
we
we
can,
we
can
we,
we
can
stay
in
there
for
at
least
25
to
30
years.
G
G
So
as
we
started
barb-
and
I
do
a
lot
of
talking
about
this-
and
here's
just
a
list
of
we've-
been
on
this-
probably
a
month-
a
list
of
organizations
that
have
said
yes,
we
want
to
support
this.
Yes,
we
possibly
want
to
do
programming
with
you
who
are
providing
letters
of
support
as
we
make
this
application
to
the
eda,
and
so
you
know
a
lot
of
people
are
very
excited
about
this
and-
and
quite
frankly,
I
remember
hennepin
county
saying
to
barb
we're
so
glad
bloomington
is
gonna.
G
You
know
is
talking
about
doing
something
like
this
so
and
then
next
slide.
So
you
don't
do
a
federal
grant
in
six
weeks
without
team
bloomington
I
mean
you
know,
jamie
threw
his
support
behind
it,
and
then
it
was
like
getting
the
other
staff
that
we
needed.
I
particularly
want
to
thank
laurie
economy,
scholler
and
her
team
faith.
Jackson
helped
create
some
language
for
the
application,
melissa,
manderscheid
said
we'll
get
it
done.
G
You
know,
of
course
it's
additional
work,
but
we'll
get
it
done
and
deb
williams
has
really
led
the
facility
component
of
it
and
then
all
the
other
players
have
been
instrumental
in
getting
this.
So
I
just
have
to
acknowledge
that.
So
we
are
asking
for
a
motion,
a
recommendation,
to
move
the
resolution
forward
and
do
finish
up
the
rest
of
the
grant
and
submit
it.
I
think
our
timeline
is
by
the
day
before
thanksgiving
november
20th,
that
will
be
our
thanksgiving
gift.
A
Well,
thank
you,
I
I'll
admit
I
had
a
phone
call
with
faith
this
afternoon
and
she
kind
of
teased
this
out
to
me,
and
I
was
very
excited
to
hear
about
the
work
that
has
been
done
and
the
possibilities
that
are
in
this
love.
The
idea
of
using
the
old
fire
station
love
the
idea
that
it's
within
the
neighborhood.
A
I
think
this
is
just
a
this
is
a
fantastic
proposal.
I'm
very
excited
to
learn
more
about
this
and
to
see
this
move
forward.
Mr.
H
Verbruge,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members,
and
I
I
want
to
echo
the
comments
from
barbin
from
carla
in
terms
of
how
this
fits
with
the
council
strategic
priorities
too,
and
this
may
maybe
newer
information
for
port
authority
members,
but
back
at
the
beginning
of
2020,
when
the
council
had
their
last
goal-setting
session.
H
The
discussion
about
business
development,
small
business
support
ways
that
we
can
continue
to
develop
and
support
entrepreneurialism
within
the
community
were
strong
themes
of
that
conversation,
and
so
this
is
a
project
which
I
think
fits
squarely
within
the
that
area
that
the
council
was
interested
in
in
having
us
pursue.
H
So
the
fact
that
we're
able
to
tap
into
a
lot
of
external
resources
to
try
and
make
this
thing
happen
is,
you
know,
a
demonstration
of
the
the
possibilities
when
we
work
with
partners-
and
I
think
there's
just
a
lot
of
potential
here-
absolutely.
I
I'm
a
building
guy.
What
are
we
going
to
do
with
the
building?
It's
going
to
be
converted,
readaptive
used
to
office
space,
it's
just
something
about
artists
and
I
was
just
kind
of
wondering-
or
it's
probably
maybe
premature-
you
don't
you're
going
to
need
to
get
a
built
space,
planner
architect
involved
or
something.
But
what's
your
concept.
G
Well,
the
concept
is
to
have
part
of
the
structure
as
co-working
space
with
desk,
so
that
entrepreneurs,
you
know
for
a
low
membership
fee,
can
come
use.
The
space
have
their
meetings
there.
There
is
a
conference
room
that
was
built
out
and
renovated
and
then
the
larger
space
for
workshops-
training.
G
Really
just
you
know
one
of
the
things
we've
been
talking
about
redoing
some
of
the
space
in
civic
plaza
for
community
development
and
ali
who
runs
our
community.
Placemaking
said
you
know,
I
don't
have
a
space
for
my
stuff,
her
stuff
like
if
you
walk
by
her
cubicle,
you
know
she's
got
stuff
stacked
there
and
where
she
puts
it,
sometimes
people
move
it,
and
I
thought
well,
wouldn't
that
be
great
if
we
can
provide
some
space
for
ally
and
that
create
a
place
making
that's
happening.
G
So
perhaps
she
can
work
out
of
there,
but
we
want
to
keep
the
the
feel
of
the
fire
station.
Dukes
talked
about.
You
know,
enclosing
the
front
doors,
you
know
insulating
them
for
heat,
but
maybe
leaving
the
back
doors
open.
Because
that's
what
faces
the
back
part
of
the
building
faces
the
aeon
properties,
and
when
we
were
out
there
you
could
see
kids
playing.
So
we
talked
about
maybe
even
reducing
some
of
the
payment
in
the
parking
lot
and
doing
the
community
garden.
G
You
know
really
want
to
talk
to
the
neighbors
and
see
what
they
would
like
to
do
with
that
exterior
space.
But
yes,
so,
but
we've
had
a
number
of
contractors
going
over
there
giving
us
pricing
the
roof.
I
think
it
needs
to
be
replaced.
I
think
the
plumbing
needs
to
be
replaced.
G
The
bathrooms
need
to
be
made
80
accessible
as
well,
but
we're
going
to
keep
it
very
open,
as
as
it
currently
is
like
that's
the
thought
anyway,
I
mean
we
may
get
to
the
community
and
they
may
say:
oh
no,
we
would
like
this
and
we
want
to
be
flexible
with
what
the
community
wants.
J
Thank
you,
so
one
of
the
things
that
the
resolution
discusses
that
part
of
the
grant
application
requires
us
to
make
a
commitment
to
operate
a
center
for
a
certain
period
of
time,
and
it's
not
an
it's,
not
an
enormous
amount
of
money.
It's
you
know.
If,
if
the
250
000
is
about
right,
you
know
that
over
a
20-year
period
isn't
an
enormous
amount
of
money.
But
I'm
wondering
if
the
city
comes
to
the
conclusion
that
it
wants
to
stop
doing
this.
F
J
K
I
wanted
to
ask
I
thank
you
mayor
when
we
look
at
that
the
building
there
with
the
fire
station.
You
know
I.
I
love
the
idea
of
reusing
it
from
the
sense.
That's
very
sustainable,
but
I
know
that
when
we've
looked
at
other
buildings
in
the
city,
you
know
of
that
same
time
period.
You
know,
we've
looked
at
and
said
you
know.
If
we
we
put
this
much
money
in
there
to
renovate
it,
it
may
actually
be
cheaper
to
build
a
new
building,
and
so
I
wanted
to.
K
I
didn't
want
to
let
this
pass
without
at
least
asking
that
question
did
we
do
an
analysis
of
that
to
see
if
that
does
make
the
most
amount
of
sense,
with
respect
to
that
that
building
kind
of
moving
forward?
I'm
assuming
that's
what
we
did,
but
I
wanted
to
just
make
sure
that
I
asked
that
question.
I
Can
I
tag
in
on
that
too,
because
the
I
mean
this
station
is
just
like
the
one,
a
black
from
my
house,
and
this
is
a
cubic
space
building
it's
open
and
it's
high.
So
I'm
I
was
wondering:
are
you
going
to
be
building
interior,
demising
walls
and
things
like
that,
so
it
kind
of
ties
into
what
dwayne
was.
F
Let
me
take
that.
Okay,
thank
you.
Commissioners
marin.
Mr
president,
after
the
building
official
went
out
there
and
took
a
look
at
it,
my
understanding
is
that
for
fire
because
of
the
larger
equipment
and
trucks
that
are
needed
now
that
they
need
much
more
capacity
than
they
have
the
the
different
bathrooms
structurally.
The
building
is
good.
F
F
The
items
that
would
be
there
to
delineate
spaces
for
individuals
would
be
movable,
so
the
current
bathroom,
the
large
bathroom
that
it
is,
could
be
storage,
the
other
bathroom
and
the
laundry
area
could
be
made
into
gender-neutral
two
bathrooms
that
are
ada
accessible,
but
the
whole
general
area
is
to
just
stay
open
and
make
it
into
spaces
where
it
can
be
movable
and
it
can
be
reprogrammed
whether
that
be
a
seminar
or
people
that
need
to
meet
in
a
small
group
or
meet
one-on-one
or
open
the
doors
and
have
some
of
that
activate
the
space
outside.
F
So
we
largely
want
to
keep
it
that
structure
as
a
fire
station.
I
can't
really
speak
commissioner
lowman
to
you,
know,
fire
and
and
what
their
needs
were
prior
to
that
building.
Yeah.
K
Maybe
I
wasn't
clear
with
my
question:
I
think
we,
I
think
the
assessment
has
been
made
pretty
clear,
that
the
the
new
billionaires
certainly
are
not
saying
that
we
should
try
to
realize
that
space,
but
the
the
question
that
I'm
really
trying
to
ask
is:
did
we
do
an
analysis
in
terms
of
you
know
a
new
building
as
compared
with
because
when
you
do
a
renovation,
there's
a
cost
associated
with
that?
You
know.
Sometimes
you
put
so
much
money
in
that
renovation
that
you
already
got
yourself.
K
You
know
a
building
and
a
half,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
be
sure
that
we
we
did
that
analysis
and
we
looked
to
see,
even
though
I
love
the
idea
of
reutilizing
that
fire
station,
because
one
of
my
concerns
is,
is
that
after
25,
you
know
years
I
mean
theoretically,
this
program
will
end,
but
you
know
if
we
did
decide
to
continue
to
have
this
program
mayor.
You
know
we
would
want
to
probably
have
a
building
that
would
go
beyond
that
that
time
span.
K
G
Yeah,
mr
mayor
council,
members
president
and
board
commissioner
members,
in
my
conversations
with
chief
seal,
he
has
said
he
he
said
if
this
was
fire
station
number
four.
I
would
tell
you
you're
crazy,
like
you
can't
do
it.
He
said
he
believes
this
building
is
secure,
our
building
official
deb
williams
and
we
have
a
number
of
contractors.
G
However,
if
I
hear
you
saying,
perhaps
we
should
cost
out
the
price
of
a
new
building.
We
can
look
at
that.
We
believe
that
this
is
the
more
economic
way
to
go,
but
if
that's
what
I
hear
you
saying
well,
you
know
I.
K
Mean
I
certainly
I
don't
I
it's
just
one
council
member's,
you
know
question,
and
I
mean
I
certainly
trust
you
know
chief
seal
and
those
folks
there,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we're
as
we're
going
into
this,
because
I
think
we
want
to
make
a
long-term
investment,
you
know
in
this,
and
I
I
just
I
certainly
love
the
the
reuse
part
of
it,
but
I
think
that
also
because
of
the
communities
in
which
that
we
are
attempting
to
try
to
serve
here,
I
think,
as
a
city,
we
want
to
make
a
long-term
investment,
and
so
I
would
be
concerned
that
you
know
when
I
hear
25
years.
K
B
It's
got
a
good
solid
floor.
We
like
interstitial
heights
because
you
can
take
and
put
air
conditioning
and
everything
else
in
if
the
roof
is
in
good
condition,
and
even
if
it
isn't,
it's
probably
far
cheaper
to
repair
that.
So
I
can't
imagine
a
scenario
really
where,
if
you
have
something
like
this,
that
can
be
adapted,
that
it's
not
going
to
be
the
most
cost
effective
use.
B
The
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
while
we're
talking
about
this
is
being
an
accountant
by
training
and
also
working
with
with
with
low-income
people
in
preparing
tax
returns,
and
we
also
help
some
small
businesses
in
that
that
can't
have
a
lot
of
revenue.
But
this
is
something
that's
extremely
confusing
to
anybody
trying
to
start.
B
I
mean
it's
not
just
taxes,
it's
all
the
permits
and
everything
else,
and
so
I
think,
having
some
method
that
you
can
take
somebody
and
give
them
a
place
to
look
at
something
and
some
support
and
a
lot
of
it's
just
encouragement
and
say:
yeah.
You've
got
a
good
idea
there.
Why?
Don't
you
you
know,
give
it
a
shot
and-
and
it's
not
a
big
thing,
and
so
I
I
really
think
that
this
concept
is
one
that
is
is
really
a
very
important
one
for
us.
A
And-
and
I
will
say
councilman,
I
understand
what
you're
saying
I
do
think
a
even
if
it
is
just
a
25-year
reuse
of
a
building.
A
I
think
it's,
I
think
it's
a
worthwhile
investment
to
get
25
years
out
of
this
from
a
sustainability
standpoint
and
from
the
standpoint
of
this
is
a
program,
a
new
program
that
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
best
work
it
and
I
think,
to
to
move
into
this,
to
to
adapt,
to
have
a
wide
open
space
like
that
and
make
it
very
adaptable
as
goals
change,
perhaps
as
they
make
some
adjustments
to
the
programming
and
so
on.
I
do
think
it's
the
way
to
go.
A
A
This
is
a
a
sound
reuse
of
it
for
the
for
the
money
that
we
have
available,
and
I
will
say,
commissioner
lunz
to
your
point,
so
the
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
see
a
couple
of
other
business
incubators
in
other
cities
and
and
they
are
the
best,
the
best
incubators
that
I've
seen
for
the
best
feel,
as
as,
as
president
erickson
was
saying,
the
best
feel
is
one
of
kind
of
an
open
space
of
congeniality
and
the
high
ceilings
are
are
always
a
pr
a
feature
of
what
I've
seen
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
whether
or
not
they
moved
into
old
space,
whether
it's
a
warehouse
or
it
just
makes
sense
in
terms
of
what
they're
trying
to
create
they
need
the
height
or
something
along
those
lines.
A
So
I
do
think
this.
This
open
floor
space
that
could
be
parsed
out,
if
need
be,
if
people
need
their
own
space
for
whatever
reason.
If
that
might
be
something
that
you
look
at
in
the
future,
I'm
envisioning
it
I
mean
when
you
described
it.
What
I
saw
in
my
mind,
was
the
community
commons
at
the
mall
of
america.
The
big
empty
space
in
was
it
nordstrom
or
is
it
that
was
what
it
was
in.
A
Bloomingdale's
excuse
me
bloomingdale's
an
empty
space
for
different
businesses
to
be
able
to
basically
try
out
things
and
try
and
figure
it
out,
and
that
that's
what
I
see
this
as
even
that
step
before
a
the
community
commons.
This
is
that
space
where
they
get
to
that
point
where
they
can
move
into
a
community
commons,
just
council
member
london,
then
I
do
see
you,
council,
member
nelson,
we'll
get
you
in
just
a
second.
I
L
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor.
First
of
all,
I
really
support
this
project
and
thank
you
for
the
good
work
is
something
that
I've
been
talking
about,
and
you
know
very
appreciative
of
the
support
for
the
small
business
community.
Just
a
couple
of
quick
questions
here.
I
believe,
if
I
recall
correctly
when
we
talked
about
the
new
fire
station
and
we're
looking
at
this
other
fire
station,
we
were
informed
that
this
building
was
needed
for
storage,
that
we
were
over
capacity
at
other
places.
L
How
have
we
addressed
that
storage
issue
with
this
plan
and
I
don't
even
know
what's
stored
there,
but.
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
council,
member
nelson,
we're
looking
at
doing
the
pre-development
all
the
design
and
planning
that
would
need
to
be
done
in
2022,
with
the
anticipation
of
construction,
beginning
in
spring
of
2023
and
finishing
in
fall
of
2023,
which
falls
in
line
with
deb
williams
over
in
public
works
project
manager
on
these
fire
stations.
For
that
to
happen,
because
that
was
very
important
to
chief
seal
as
well.
G
And
if
councilmember
nelson,
if
I
could
add
in
conversations
with
chief
seals,
he
does
believe
that
if
our
timeline
got
pushed
up
or
his
got
delayed,
that
we
haven't
talked
to
director
carl
keel
about
this
yet,
but
that
there
may
be
some
space
at
public
works.
L
Okay,
thank
you
just
want
to
make
sure
we
took
care
of
that.
The
second
thing
this
doesn't
bind
us
to
any
particular
funding
source
for
the
operations
of
it.
If
we
move
this
forward
tonight,
does
it.
L
Okay,
then
I
will
wait
and
because
I
have
some
questions
about
an
additional
levy
and
and
things
like
that
and
when
we
have
the
south
loop
development
fund,
you
know
I'm
a
big
proponent
of
having
a
business
plan
that
we
can
try
to
create
something
that
breaks
even
or
better
throughout
the
partnerships
that
you
listed
and
things
like
that.
L
So,
but
I
don't
think
we
need
to
go
into
that
right
now,
I'm
supportive
of
this
tonight
to
move
forward
with
the
capital
and
to
creating
the
space,
and
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
wonderful.
So
thank
you
very
much.
D
Yeah,
I
have
kind
of
a
process
question,
so
I've
heard
the
discussion,
obviously
in
the
last
few
minutes
about
what
would
it
look
like
inside
and
why
and
all
that
sort
of
thing,
I'm
assuming
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
that
that
how
that's
all
going
to
come
together
as
part
of
the
process
from
here
forward
and
we
haven't
predetermined
anything
in
that
regard
and
we'll
talk
to
people
about
what
they
need
and
see.
D
You
know,
because,
as
a
small
business
person
myself,
I
have
some
thoughts
about
those
sorts
of
things
which
may
or
may
not
be
important
to
share.
But
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
we
have
included
in
this
whole
thing
that,
as
part
of
the
steps
to
get
there
reaching
out
to
people
who
are
both
potential
users
and
also
people
who
have
some
expertise
and
and
what
really
is
helpful
necessary.
G
Well
great,
mr
mayor
city,
council,
president
and
commission
members,
commissioner
keller,
we
want
to
put
an
advisory
committee
together.
We
would
love
for
you
to
be
part
of
that.
We've
already
started
identifying
individuals.
G
D
G
I
even
can't
because
we
do
want
the
input
of
of
the
community
so
anyway,
but
yes,
there
is
this
next
year
we
would
do
a
ton
of
community
engagement,
and
you
know
we
want
to
create
a
space
that
works
to
the
best
of
our
ability
for
our
local
entrepreneurs,
and
so
we
would
love
for
your
ideas,
even
if
you
just
want
to
email
them
to
us.
I'd
be
happy
to
help.
A
Hearing
none,
I
think
we
need
two
motions
here:
one
by
the
port
authority
and
one
by
the
council.
K
A
A
M
A
Okay,
I
think,
if
you
could
just
restate
it
as
the
city
council
motion,
which
is
just
below.
F
M
A
So
how
about
if
we
can
we
rescind
the
previous
motion?
Yes,
okay,
we
ordered
a
previous
motion.
We'll
do
this
officially
councilmember
carter,
okay,.
M
A
A
If
I
could,
commissioner,
I
think
we
need
to
use
the
motion.
That's
on
the
screen
on
the
screen,
if
we
could
a
resolution
that
side
of
the
table
is
an
issue
right
now,.
I
I
will
make
a
motion
to
adopt
resolution
wrong.
One
I'll
make
a
motion
to
support
the
city
council,
adoption
of
resolution
number
2021
a
resolution
supporting
the
application
authorizing
the
execution
of
a
grant
agreement.
The
economic
development
administration,
american
rescue
plan
act,
economic
adjustment,
assistance,
department
of
commerce,
federal
funding
opportunity,
sir.
D
A
G
F
Eda
actually
is
on
a
rolling
basis
and
and
that's
where
the
regional
director
recommended
that
we
get
our
app
in
by
the
middle
of
november
to
the
end
of
november.
The
actual
deadline
is
march
15th
of
2022,
but
there's
only
so
much
funding
for
metro
areas.
The
rest
will
go
to
rural
areas
and
coal
mining
towns.
F
B
F
First
quarter
of
2022
and
deed
is
in,
I
believe
it's
well
first
quarter
of
2022
as
well
that
one
we
will
submit
on
december
3rd.
F
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members
and
port
members,
also
the
the
discussion
about
supporting
the
operations
and
the
potential
of
utilizing
the
port
authority
levy.
That's
not
something
that
we
would
do
for
this
upcoming
year.
We
would
wait
to
get
through
this
process
of
understanding,
whether
we're
successful
in
receiving
the
grants
and
and
beginning
the
initial
planning
and
construction
everything
we
would
have
that
as
a
discussion
for
next
year
leading
into
2023.
At
this
juncture,
it's
not
possible
for
us
to
turn
on
the
port
authority
levy
until
2023
at
the
earliest.
B
And
I'm
sure,
since
commissioner
keller
has
so
recently
volunteered
to
be
in
the
advisory
committee
that
that
he
will
look
after
commissioner
luntz's
interest
in
terms
of
the
brass
pool.
I
E
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
council,
members
port
authority,
president
and
port
authority
members.
E
In
case
we
had
to
revert
back
to
the
nonprofit
model,
so
we
didn't
lose
time.
The
several
five
is
commissioned.
Two
studies
of
their
own
and
staff
thinks
that
an
adjusted
motion
from
that
night
or
an
adjusted
direction
is
appropriate
to
hire
hla
to
review
those
studies
and
consult
with
the
city
and
port
authority,
but
not
to
complete
a
full
feasibility
study
on
their
own.
E
Doing
so
could
confuse
the
markets
if
they're
substantially
different
and
and
doing
this
a
little
bit
of
money
and
also
allow
us
to
get
that
information
from
the
consultant
that
that
you
know
we're
looking
for
during
that
process.
So
we're
recommending
that
you
tweak
tweak
the
motion
if
you
will
and
pass
these
new
motions
to
reflect
in
doing
a
consultant
contract
with
that
entity
for
up
to
25
000
for
services
related
to
the
south
water
park
as
aligned
in
the
agenda
item.
I
E
Mr
president
and
commissioner
lunds,
so
the
the
feasibility
of
doing
the
project
and
getting
to
a
closing
is
dependent
on
a
lot
of
different
things,
including
those
feasibility.
Excuse
me,
I
read
that
wrong.
It's.
E
The
most
probable
one
is
that
the
equity
and
debt
markets
don't
want
to
do
the
project
for
one
reason
or
another,
and
and
that
could
happen,
and
so
we
could
be
back
talking
about
finishing
the
hla
study
and
moving
back
to
the
nonprofit
model.
But
you
know
we
don't
believe
that'll
that'll
happen,
but
you
just
never
know
until
these.
Until
these
things
close.
So
does
that
answer
your
question,
commissioner?
Lentz?
Okay,.
B
Okay,
any
other
questions.
I
would
then
entertain
a
motion.
The
port
authority
needs
to
take
the
first
motion's
under
1.4.
Do
we
have
a
commissioner
willing
to
make
the
motion
commissioner
peterson.
J
D
A
K
There
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
terminal
with
the
motion,
as
stated
in
the
agenda
packet.
A
Second
motioned
by
council
member
lowman,
second
by
council
member
coulter,
to
concur
with
the
port
authority
motion
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
hotel
and
leisure
advisors
for
up
to
25
thousand
dollars
for
the
consulting
services
related
to
the
south
loop
water
park.
No
further
questions
from
the
council,
mr
billard
beloga.
A
Thank
you
much
and
now
we
are
to
the
point
where
we're
going
to
enter
into
closed
session
as
we've
talked
about
before
I
think
whenever
we
go
into
a
closed
session.
Mr
rutland.
E
Mr
mayor,
if
I
might,
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
to
keep
this
meeting
open
just
for
a
moment,
we'll
go
through
a
few
things
about
how
we're
going
to
do
the
open
and
closed
session,
and
then
we'll
actually
do
that
closing.
If
that's
okay,
okay,.
A
And
that
is
basically
what
I
was
going
to
do
is
going
to
talk
about.
There
are
a
variety
just
a
couple
of
reasons
why
we
can
close
official
meetings
of
the
city,
council
and,
frankly,
the
port
authority
also
for
hr
reasons
to
discuss
contracts,
to
discuss
negotiations
and
so
on,
and
that's
what
this
is
one
of
those
things.
As
I
mentioned
when
we
started
we'll
we'll
go
into
closed
session,
we
will
speak
only
to
the
the
items
in
front
of
us.
A
We'll
come
back
into
open
session
and,
if
need
be,
we
will
act
on
our
discussions
that
we
had
in
closed
session
and
then
we
will
join
the
meeting
from
that.
Did
I
miss
anything
shane?
Is
there
anything
else
that
I
should
be
saying
there
or
something
how
about
the
the
technical
part
of
it?
We
so,
mr
mayor.
E
Mr
mayor,
if
I
may
I'll
share
a
presentation,
we'll
go
through
a
few
slides
and
then
we
will
do
the
technical
piece,
which
is
a
little
bit
of
a
trick.
So
all
the
council
and
fort
members
will
need
to
with
their
devices
log
out
of
the
meeting
that
we're
currently
in
log
in
to
a
closed
session
meeting
and
then
we'll
verify
that
the
closed
session
is
actually
closed
and
there
isn't
audio
happening
through
somebody's
mic
or
something
like
that.
No
one
proceed
with
a
closed
session.
E
Then
we
will
log
out
of
that
and
log
back
into
the
public
meeting
that
that
our
staff
is
going
to
keep
open
and
again
consider
motion
if
there,
if
there
is
any
emotions,
so
the
technical
piece,
there
will
be
a
little
bit
of
a
delay
because
we'll
all
be
logging
in
and
out
again.
A
So
if
there's
no
ques
no
questions,
I
would
look
for
a
motion
by
the
council
to
adopt
the
resolution
directing
the
closure
of
a
public
meeting
by
the
city
council
so
move.
Second,
I
have
a
motion
by
council
member
loehmann,
a
second
by
council
member
carter,
to
close
this
portion
of
the
city
council
meeting
no
further
discussion
by
the
council,
mr
biller.
B
A
A
Back
in
open
session
now
and
shane,
can
you
share
the
motions?
Please.
A
So
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,
I
would
look
for
a
motion
directing
staff
to
continue
negotiations
with
the
property
owner
and
place
an
item
on
an
upcoming
concurrent
meeting
agenda
for
consideration
of
pr
the
purchase
agreement.
Reflective
of
the
terms
discussed
during
the
closed
session
for
the
adjoining
lands
so
moved.
C
C
M
B
A
B
A
Good.
That
concludes
our
agenda
for
tonight's
meeting.
Thank
you
for
the
great
discussion.
Well
done.
I
appreciate
it
council.
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
council
portion
of
this
concurrent
meeting
so
moved.
Second
got
a
motion
in
a
second
to
adjourn
tonight's
meeting
on
the
council
side.
No
further
discussion,
mr
biller.
