Description
Des Moines City Council work session meeting via teleconference on Monday, Nov. 30, 2020.
A
B
C
C
Welcome
to
our
work
session
this
morning,
we're
going
to
start
with
a
redo
of
our
2020
city
of
des
moines
resident
survey
findings.
C
These
are
important
and
we
apologize
to
everybody
when
we
discovered
that
our
attendees
hopeful
attendees
were
unable
to
see
it
and
there
was
no
simulcast.
We
terminated
our
meeting
and
hopefully
you
all
are
back
for
the
restart
of
this.
It's
really
good
important
information,
and
we
we
do
this
periodically
to
in
in
terms
of
the
survey
to
find
out
how
people
are
feeling
and
thinking
about
the
city
of
des
moines
and
in
the
work
that
we
do
scott.
D
So,
yes,
we
do
have
our
two
topics
this
morning
that
were
originally
scheduled
for
the
23rd
and
the
first
of
which
is
our
every
two
year:
residence
survey
that
we
do
in
partnership
under
contract
with
etc,
and
we
have
robert
on
this
call
to
help
with
the
presentation,
and
so
yes,
with
last
week,
we
robert
was
able
to
present
information
that
is
available
and
has
been
available
since
monday
morning
on
our
website.
The
city's
website
that
video
can
be
watched
and
see
that
part
of
the
presentation.
D
For
this
morning
I've
asked
that
he
summarized
the
information
just
spend
a
few
minutes
on
the
trends
and
the
recap.
If
you
will
and
allow
for
the
council
to
ask
additional
questions
that
you
may
have,
and
then
we
can
move
on
to
the
to
the
second
topic
again.
This
information
is
available.
Not
only
the
powerpoint,
but
also
the
full
presentation
is
available
on
the
city
manager's
website.
That's
something
for
the
public.
You
can
find
pretty
easily
by
going
on
to
our
city
website
and
doing
a
search
on
resident
survey
and
it'll.
D
Take
you
to
this
so
with
that
I
think
I'll
go
ahead
and
pass
it
over
to
to
robert
to
kind
of
summarize
and
take
whatever
council
questions.
There
may
be.
E
Thank
you
scott.
Good
morning,
mr
mayor
members
of
the
council,
I'm
robert
haycock,
a
senior
project
manager
with
etc
institute.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
with
you
this
evening
or
after
morning
I
mean
see
I'm
already
thinking
it's
still
night
time
this
morning,
as
I
as
instructed,
I
will
try
to
go
through
fairly
rapidly
here,
just
kind
of
recapping,
the
presentation
that
we
did
last
week.
E
E
Our
purpose
is
straightforward:
to
provide
support
to
the
department
of
directors
to
align
the
existing
resources
with
programmatic
needs,
to
measure
trends
from
prior
surveys,
to
gather
input
from
residents
to
help
set
budget
priorities
and
also
to
compare
des
moines
performance
with
other
similar
size
cities.
Next
slide,
here's
an
outline
of
our
methodology.
How
we
got
here
the
overall
approach,
we
did
actually
have
quite
a
positive
response
to
the
survey
this
time
with
864
responses
when
we
had
a
goal
of
800.,
so
that
was
very
positive.
E
E
The
ratings
as
we
go
through
you'll
see
your
ratings
for
des
moines
are
generally
higher
than
the
national
average
for
cities
of
a
similar
population,
and
then
improvements
to
these
areas
are
four
areas
that
kind
of
come
out
of
the
survey
that
has
priority
investment
areas
for
the
the
city
moving
forward,
including
police
services,
communications,
street
maintenance
and
community
development
next
slide,
as
we
get
ready
to
go
through
the
major
findings.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
one
of
the
the
particulars
about
surveys
is
that
there
it
can
be
a
lag.
E
So
when
we
see
some
of
these
items
and
the
ratings
that
are
there,
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
if
it's
a
low
mark,
for
example,
that
the
city
hasn't
taken
steps
to
address
that
or
move
the
needle
in
the
right
direction.
It
just
may
mean
that
there's
a
lag
between
time
that
some
of
those
improvements
are
made
and
when
it's
actually
perceived
and
recognized
by
the
citizens
in
the
survey
next
slide,.
E
We'll
go
through
some
of
these
really
quickly
just
trend
data
you'll
see
in
a
very
positive
direction.
We
have
three
surveys
there
from
2016-18
and
2020.,
actually
from
2018
to
2020
a
10
increase
in
satisfaction
of
the
appearance
of
private
property
in
neighborhoods,
which
has
been
a
focus
point
of
the
city
next
slide.
E
This
question
was:
has
your
neighborhood
improved
over
the
past
five
years
and
again
you
see
positive
trends.
Moving
from
2018
to
2020,
a
seven
percent
more
folks
felt
that
they're
satisfied.
I
should
say:
that's:
what's
in
blue
there,
the
blue
are
satisfied
or
very
satisfied.
The
pink
or
reddish
color
is
dissatisfied
or
very
dissatisfied,
and
the
white
is
do
not
know.
That's
pretty
consistent
as
we
move
through
next
slide,
major
finding
number
two.
When
you
look
at
how
des
moines
compares
to
other
similar
cities
next
slide
as
we
go
through.
E
E
So,
overall,
we
look
at
the
issue
of
how
safe
residents
feel
in
their
community
here
significant
difference
in
terms
of
the
overall
overall
feeling
of
residence.
75
percent
of
residents
in
des
moines
feel
satisfied,
are
very
satisfied
and
are
safe
and
then
54
of
those
compared
to
54
from
other
cities.
Next
slide
won't
go
through
all
of
these,
but
very
positive
ratings.
You
can
see
by
the
blue
arrows
for
police
services
next
slide
overall
quality
police
protection.
This
gives
you
a
breakdown
of
the
cities
that
we
have
compared
you
two
in
this
particular
survey.
E
I
will
say
that
we
received
some
feedback,
that
there
are
some
other
cities
more
in
the
upper
northern
midwest
that
if
we
happen
to
be
surveying
them
in
the
not
too
distant
future
that
we
will
try
to
reflect
those
in
comparisons
in
the
future.
But
this
is
what's
available.
We
were
a
little
bit
limited
just
because
of
the
coven
period
and
some
of
the
cities
that
have
not
have
not
gone
forward
with
theirs,
as
you
did
this
time.
So
anyway,
very
positive
you
can
see
des
moines
is
in
the
blue
line
there.
E
E
Satisfaction
with
parks,
recreation
services
across
the
board
very
positive
ratings,
especially
in
those
areas
you
look
at,
for
example,
landscaping
along
city,
streets
parks
and
other
areas.
69
percent
of
your
residents
are
satisfied
or
very
satisfied,
compared
to
only
47
nationally
next
slide,
you
can
see
just
showing
a
breakdown
against
particular
cities.
Next
slide
overall
satisfaction
with
libraries
again
significantly
higher
than
the
national
average
next
slide,
just
showing
that
a
different
way
next
slide.
E
In
terms
of
satisfaction
with
city
communication,
you
do
see
a
couple
of
red
arrows
there.
That
means
that
you're
significantly
lower
than
the
us
than
the
average
of
the
cities
we're
comparing
you
to.
I
would
point
out
again:
this
is
one
of
those
areas
that
I
believe,
based
on
my
understanding
of
the
investment
the
city
has
made
the
changes.
E
The
city
has
made
you're,
seeing
a
bit
of
a
lag
there
just
between
when
changes
have
been
made
and
and
the
perception
of
the
citizens,
but
the
city
introduced
a
new
website
last
year,
so
it
takes
a
little
while
sometimes
for
that
to
be
to
show
up.
I
do
think
that
the
overall
quality
of
the
website,
though,
although
it's
48
compared
to
56,
I
believe,
is
about
four
percent
higher
than
it
was
two
years
ago.
E
E
Overall
satisfaction
with
public
works
engineering
again,
the
the
blue,
the
blue
arrows,
show
significantly
higher
than
the
u.s
average
and
then
the
few
red
arrows
that
you
have
show
significantly
lower
than
the
population
and
again
we'll
see
as
we
go
through
some
of
those
red
arrows
when
you
actually
break
them
down
and
compare
trend
data
you're
moving
in
the
right
direction,
but
it
just
hasn't
quite
caught
up
with
the
national
average
next
slide,
just
showing
that
against
the
benchmarks,
next
slide
major
finding
number
three,
the
trends
trends
are
important.
E
E
Priorities
for
investment-
this
is
where
we
at
etc
will
take
the
data
not
only
from
from
this
survey
but
other
services.
Compare
that
look
at
how
it
all
push
it
goes
together
and
and
outlines
those
areas
based
on
the
citizen
rankings
of
importance
and
satisfaction
to
tell
you
potential
areas
for
investment
next
slide.
E
E
You
see
the
visibility
of
police
in
neighborhoods,
ranked
as
a
very
high
priority,
and
you
have
several
high
priorities
as
well
and
a
medium
priority
there
now,
just
because
it's
a
medium
priority
doesn't
mean
the
city
shouldn't
be
spending
time
on
that
or
focused
on
that.
But
as
we
go
through
you'll
see
in
some
areas,
you
won't
have
anything
really
pop
out
as
a
very
high
or
a
high
priority.
So
we
would
tell
you
that
those
are
significant.
E
E
This
is
fire
services
again,
nothing
really
popped
out
in
terms
of
a
very
high
or
a
high
priority,
but
you
do
have
several
areas
there
as
a
medium
priority.
Next
slide
parks
and
recreation
high
priority.
There
are
a
couple
of
areas
there
that
jumped
out
a
number
of
restaurants
and
city
parks
and
use
of
green
practices
in
the
parks.
E
E
Libraries,
nothing
really
jumped
out
as
being
a
high
priority
or
very
high
priority,
but
you
do
have
a
lot
of
areas
there
that
are
medium
priority
again,
it
doesn't
mean
that
they're,
not
areas
of
improvement
or
things
that
the
city
should
be
focused
on
it's
just
in
terms
of
combining
those
factors
together
to
really
highlight
areas
that
the
citizens
are
most
concerned
about.
Nothing
really
has
jumped
out
in
terms
of
that
next
slide,
so
in
summary,
residents
are
generally
satisfied
with
the
overall
quality
of
services
they
receive
from
the
city.
E
Ratings
for
des
moines
are
generally
higher
than
the
national
average
for
cities
of
a
similar
population
and
improvements
to
these
four
areas.
Police,
services,
communications,
street
maintenance
and
community
development
should
be
the
city's
top
overall
priorities.
If
this,
if
the
city
wants
to
see
to
move
that
needle
in
terms
of
customer
satisfaction
rings
next
slide
with
that,
I
hope
that
wasn't
too
fast,
but
we
did
want
to
keep
a
high-level
overview.
I'd
be
happy
to
try
to
help
answer
any
questions.
C
All
right,
let's
go
ahead
and
counsel
anybody
have
any
thoughts
or
questions
on
the
presentation
and
the
summary
that
we
just
viewed,
if
so
put
your
hand
up
or.
F
Yeah,
I
was
wondering:
can
we
see
the
the
survey
document
like
that
would
just
be
a
helpful
sort
of
reference
as
we
go
through
the
actual
results?
I
I
don't.
I
don't
recall
if
we've
seen
it,
it
was
shared
with
us
at
the
front
end
or
not,
but
if
that
could
be
recirculated-
and
I
assume
this
presentation
is
a
summary,
so
we
we
have
the
full
sort
of
a
fuller
report
as
well
right.
C
Yeah
and
it's
available
online,
the
the
the
more
in-depth
report
and
is
scott
pointed
out
scott.
Would
you
again
tell
our
buddy,
where
it's
available.
D
E
D
G
Some
of
your
some
of
my
questions
were
answered,
but
also
then
to
scott.
I
guess
so
in
making
the
budgets
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
some
of
the
survey
detail
and
more
you
know,
some
of
this
was
the
overview,
but
in
the
in-depth
review,
are
all
the
departments
looking
at
that
on
how
they're
addressing
their
budget
son.
D
That
is
correct,
and
that
has
been
the
case
in
the
past,
with
the
creation
of
removing
blighted
properties,
for
instance,
was
showing.
H
D
The
survey
from
from
years
ago,
and
so
we've
even
put
quite
a
bit
of
funds
into
that,
and
as
robert
mentioned,
that
work
just
got
started
last
year
and
so
we're
not
seeing
the
full
benefit
of
those
investments
yet,
and
so
we'll
continue
to
look
at
the
opportunities
that
the
residents
have
have
indicated
in
the
survey
that
need
more
investment.
E
Scott,
this
is
robert.
If
I
could
just
comment.
One
of
the
things
that
I'll
see
very
very
often
with
cities
is
the
the
work
is
done.
The
investment
has
been
made,
but
sometimes
it's
just
a
matter
of
getting
the
word
out
and
trumpeting
the
city's
successes,
and,
and
all
of
that
so
sharing
that
information
about
the
changes
that
have
been
made
is
is
very
important
as
well.
D
Okay,
I
want
to
thank
you
again,
robert
for
coming
back
a
second
time
and
paul
goldberg
paw
for
her
assistance
on
this
as
well.
The
second
item:
there
is
the
neighborhood
commercial
revitalization
program.
We
have
both
aaron
with
our
development
services
department
and
I
believe
katie
may
be
helping
out
from
her
department
erin.
I
see
you've
got
your
presentation
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
I
Thank
you,
scott.
Can
everyone
hear
me.
C
I
Awesome
thank
you
good
morning.
I
hope
everybody
had
a
great
holiday
weekend.
We
are
rolling
out
a
neighborhood
revitalization
program
and
wanted
to
give
you
the
background
on
it.
Give
you
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions,
provide
some
feedback
and
just
generally
gets
you
reacquainted
with
the
program
that
we
are
basically
revamping.
We
had
a
facade
grant
program
out
there
for
a
number
of
years.
I
It's
been
fairly
dormant
for
the
last
couple
of
years
and
with
a
change
in
funding
source
for
it,
we
took
the
opportunity
to
open
up
all
of
the
parameters
around
it
and
do
a
fresh
roll
out
in
part.
This
was
made
possible
by
our
new
by
the
hiring
of
our
new
economic
development
project
manager,
katie
hernandez,
which
you'll
hear
from
in
a
few
minutes.
I
She
really
worked
on
the
details
of
this
and
you'll
see
that
in
the
presentation,
as
we
talk
about
this
morning,
she
started
with
us
this
summer
and
also
has
been
very
active
in
helping
with
the
administration
of
our
small
business
recovery,
grant
so
also
a
good
opportunity
for
you
to
meet
her
in
this
strange
zoom
world
next
slide.
I
So,
as
I
said,
it's
a
revamp
of
a
program
that
we've
had
for
a
while
that
really
works
to
foster
commercial
reinvestment
in
our
neighborhood
areas.
I
The
program
will
be
targeted
at
neighborhood
commercial
corridors
and
districts,
and
our
commercial
building
stock
really
intended
to
provide
financial
assistance
to
those
property
owners
with
the
intent
of
raising
the
property
values
in
our
neighborhoods
and
to
enhance
the
quality
of
life
in
our
neighborhoods
next
slide.
J
Hi,
this
is
katie
hernandez
with
office
of
economic
development,
so
I'll
jump
in
here.
We
this
slide
just
kind
of
overviews
how
this
program
aligns
with
the
city
government
vision
that
has
been
identified
through
the
plan
dsm
initiative
of
the
city
of
des
moines.
So
you
know
a
vibrant
capital
city,
great
neighborhoods,
regional
economy.
Certainly
this
program
will
will
will
give
small
businesses
a
boost
and
and
contribute
to
the
regional
economy
as
a
whole
community
sustainability.
J
Through
these
projects,
and
then
opportunities
for
leisure,
so
so
contributing
to
the
quality
of
life
standard
here
in
des
moines
and
then
tremendous
pride
in
the
des
moines
community,
we
know
that
our
community
really
supports
small
businesses,
and
you
know
we
get
excited
about
a
new
new
business
announcement,
so
just
kind
of
speaking
to
the
the
the
vision
of
of
the
city
and
how
this
program
elevates.
That.
J
In
in
this
city,
and
but
we
did
want
to
kind
of
include
some
small
business
statistics
as
we
anticipate
that
this
program
will
will
gain
or
garner
interest
from
our
small
business
community.
So
I'm
just
kind
of
throwing
out
some
small
business
statistics
with
from
small
business
impact
in
the
economy.
I
So,
as
I
said
this,
the
the
neighborhood
commercial
revitalization
program
is
a
revamp
of
a
facade
grant
program
that
we
had
for
a
number
of
years.
It
was
it
that
program
that
former
program
was
funded
with
cdbg
funds.
We
found
over
time
that
those
funds
were
difficult
for
small
businesses
to
utilize.
I
There
were
a
number
of
standards
about
low
wages
that
were
that,
frankly,
were
kind
of
counter
to
the
intention,
with
some
of
the
small
business
work
that
we
like
to
do
where
we,
where
we
work
with
people
who
are
looking
at
higher
wage
jobs,
it
didn't
align
very
well
with
with
real
estate
improvements
necessarily,
and
there
were
a
number
of
monitor,
monitoring
requirements
that
small
businesses
weren't
necessarily
equipped
to
track
over
time.
I
So,
with
the
these
number
of
limitations,
the
council
earlier
this
year
shifted
the
cdbg
funds
that
we
had
been
using
for
this
program
to
other
eligible
uses
within
the
city
and
backfilled
that
with
general
fund
dollars.
So
we
believe
the
program
will
be
easier
to
utilize
for
the
small
business
community,
the
entrepreneurial
community
and
the
smaller
scale
redevelopment
community,
which
this
program
is
intended
to
serve.
J
So
we'll
jump
into
the
program
overview
and
some
details
of
the
program,
so
some
eligibility
requirements,
the
applicant
must
be
the
property
owner
business,
tenant
with
or
or
business
tenant,
with
written
permission
from
the
property
owner
to
make
improvements,
it
is
a
a
one-to-one
matching
grant
of
sorts.
So
the
requirement
is
a
non-city
investment
of
at
least
50
percent
into
the
into
the
project
and
then
the
agreement
to
create
or
retain
jobs
as
a
result
of
the
project.
J
So
that's
a
section
under
chapter
15a
of
the
state
code
that
allows
us
to
facilitate
this
program.
Projects
must
begin
within
one
year
of
grant
approval.
Taxes
must
be
up
to
date
on
the
on
the
on
the
parcel
and
private
private
entities
and
nonprofit
organizations
are
eligible
for
the
program.
J
Ineligibility
the
project
could
not
cannot
have
been
issued
a
building
permit
prior
to
approval,
so
basically,
just
speaking
to
retroactive
funding.
If,
if
the
project
has
already
started,
we
you
know,
we
don't,
we
don't
want
to
fund
those
those
projects
that
are
already
underway,
residential,
primarily
residential
properties,
are
ineligible
and
then
business
types
that
are
discouraged
from
applying
include
liquor
and
tobacco
stores,
adult
entertainment,
product
stores,
pawn
shop,
check,
cashing
and
payday
loans,
car
dealerships
and
gas
stations.
J
So
some
eligible
projects
under
this
program
so
exterior
site
improvements
and
facade
renovations,
kind
of
speaking
to
the
exterior
improvements
of
the
building
building
stabilization
roof
repair,
a
grease
trap,
interceptor
energy,
efficient
hvac
systems,
fire
sprinklers,
electric
and
plumbing
upgrades
to
the
building,
bringing
those
build.
Those
those
properties
within
within
code
requirements,
so
ineligible
costs
include
interior,
finishes
and
soft
design
costs,
sweat,
equity
or
self-performed
work
and
then
parking
lot.
Improvements,
standalone
parking
lot
improvements,
so
those
would
be
allowed
as
long
as
there's
a
building
improvement
as
part
of
the
overall
project.
J
So
the
funding
the
the
funding
mechanism
is
a
reimbursement.
We
can
kind
of
look
at
the
the
table
to
see
the
the
amounts
to
be
potentially
awarded.
So
all
of
the
progr,
all
of
the
all
the
funds
will
be
a
reimbursement
so
that
you
know
that
that
helps
make
sure
that
the
city's
investment
is,
you
know
controlled
to
the
actual
project,
cost
and
lien
waivers
and
invoices
are,
are
required
and
will
be
reviewed
by
city
staff.
J
The
city
manager
is
authorized
to
award
contracts
equal
to
or
less
than
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
then
grants
grants
are
are,
like.
I
said
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
matching
program
so
up
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
the
applicants
eligible
for
50
of
qualifying
costs,
and
then,
after
that,
it's
a
it's
a
graduated
scale.
So
you
can
see
that
it
tops
out
at
a
max
award
of
160
000
per
project,
and
that
would
be
for
for
for
projects
above
500
000.
J
I
We
think
that-
and
this
just
depends
on
how
budgeting
finance
issues
go
over
the
next
several
months,
but
we
expect
that
additional
funds
that
were
reprogrammed
would
become
available
over
the
course
of
the
next
year
and
we'll
basically
judge
that
working
with
nick
and
his
finance
group.
I
Based
on
the
demand
that
we
see
in
this
first
round
of
applications,
we
ex
we
intend
to
have
the
application
period
open
for
about
six
weeks
and
then
we'll
be
scoring
those
applications
and
recommending
funding
award
levels.
Based
on
what
we
see
we'd
like
to
get
to
the
point
where
future
rounds
of
funding
over
the
next
couple
of
years
can
just
be
made
on
a
rolling
basis
recognizing
that
annual
application
periods,
don't
necessarily
line
up
with
project
schedules.
I
So
we
would
ideally
like
to
have
funding
available
such
that
we
could.
We
could
do
that
over
time,
but
these
first
couple
of
rounds
we
do
expect,
will
be
competitive
understanding
from
our
contacts
and
networks
in
the
community
that
there's
likely
to
be
more
applications
and
funding
available
for
the
next
year
or
so,
and
then
we'll
report
back
to
you
on
how
that's
going
and
look
at
funding
requests
that
are
commensurate
with
with
the
demand
and
availability
of
funds.
K
Hey
erin,
just
yes,
sorry,
I
had
my
hand
up
just
a
real
quick
question:
explain
to
me
so,
if
you're
not
using
cdbg
funds,
so
this
is
coming
out
of
our
general
fund.
K
I
I
I
it
was
somewhat,
it
was
somewhat
difficult
to
administer
and
we
found
that
a
number
of
the
improvements
that
building
owners
wanted
to
make
were
not
in
a
type
of
work
where
the
market
had
wages
at
that
level.
K
Then
another
question
so
you're,
adding
in
non-profit
properties.
I
Yes,
within
our
scoring
we're
looking
at
them
as
having
to
be
pretty
catalytic
in
the
neighborhoods
in
which
they
exist,
but
I
think
we
can.
I
K
I
K
J
Okay,
so
scoring
scoring
of
the
applications
submitted,
so
there's
a
designated
committee
to
review
and
score
applications.
The
committee's
comprised
of
separate
staff
representatives
from
several
departments
or
divisions
within
the
city,
including
planning
or
urban
design,
legal,
civil
and
human
rights,
commission,
oed
and
then
city
manager's
office
and
scores
will
be
based
on
the
following
categories:
visible
improvements
and
catalytic
impact.
J
So
this
is
really
the
the
development
review
of
the
project
and
the
pre-application
is
is
where
the
applicant
will
bring
their
project
to
to
the
the
conference
and
there
are
several
staff
representatives
from
different
departments
to
kind
of
weigh
in
on
the
project.
J
J
That's
that's
the
intent
of
this
step
of
the
process.
The
applicant
then
submits
the
application
for
this
funding
program,
the
neighborhood
commercial
revitalization
program,
the
application
gets
reviewed
for
complete
completion
and
eligibility.
J
The
the
project
is
scored,
grant,
amanda's
grant
amount,
is
recommended
and
then
there's
an
execution
of
the
contract
and
follow
only
following
the
execution
of
the
contract.
Will
the
distribution
of
funds
happen?
J
So
the
the
distribution
of
funds
requires
a
submission
of
the
receipt
or
lien
waiver
and
the
invoice
for
the
for
each
project
that
was
done
and
is
being
requested
for
reimbursement.
J
J
At
this
point,
and
that's
those
are
really
only
counting
projects
that
have
disclosed
a
project
scope,
so
they're
they're,
you
know
we
we
anticipate
more
than
more
than
that
in
potential
reinvestment
and
then
distribution
of
information
about
this
program
so
we'll
be
working
with
the
chambers
of
commerce,
real
estate
associations,
iowa
state
university
extension
and
then
several
other
community
based
organizations
to
make
sure
that
we're
you
know
we're
touching
several
different
organizations
throughout
the
city.
J
L
Thanks
mayor,
you
say
you
got
11
in
the
in
the
pipeline.
Can
we
get
a
a
list
of
who?
Those
are
right
now,
I'd
be
kind
of
interested
to
see
who's
already
qualified
and,
of
course,
my
years
really
perked
up.
I
I
know
there's
quite
a
few
areas
around
here
that
come
to
mind
and
I'd
like
I
think,
we've
already
talked
about
them,
but
I'd
like
to
see
where
we're
at
right
now.
I
Sure
we
can
get
you
that
list
and
it
they're
just
they
aren't
qualified
in
any
way.
They're
just
groups,
entities
owners
that
have
reached
out
to
us
over
the
course
of
the
last
18
months
or
so
with
projects
that
they
are
working
on
properties
they
own
ideas
they
have
for
improvements
to
real
estate
in
the
neighborhoods.
I
F
I
We
could
work
with
a
property
owner
in
an
urban
renewal
district
and
work
on
a
tif
rebate,
sort
of
structure.
In
addition
to
these
funds
it
is,
it
is
possible
to
layer
them,
certainly,
but
by
and
large,
we
think
that
this
program
fills
a
gap
where
other
funding
sources
don't
necessarily
exist
or
don't
make
sense,
so
oftentimes
what
we
find
with
some
of
these
smaller
scale
programs
or
smaller
scale
ambitions.
I
Entrepreneurs
is
that
they
don't
necessarily
have
the
capital
resources
to
withstand
a
rebate,
sort
of
program
out
of
a
tiff
or
that
relief
of
taxes
out
of
tax
abatement,
don't
necessarily
fill
the
gap
that
these
projects
are
needing.
F
Well,
well
so
the
11
that
are
in
the
pipeline
right
how
many
of
those
are
also
looking
at,
for
example,
tiff
or
potentially
in
best
dsm,
fundings
and
then
could
a
project
like
this
be
eligible
for,
say,
ndc
funding
on
top
of
that
was
one
that
we
didn't
mention,
but
I
think
I
saw
abby
on
the
on
the
list
here.
I
Yes,
I
think
that
we
certainly
would
work
with
nbc
on
these
funds
out
of
the
list
of
11
and
I'll
lean
on
katie,
for
a
few
more
specifics
there,
but
out
of
that
list
of
11,
I'm
not
aware
of
any
where
we
are
working
actively
on
tiff
sorts
of
incentives
with
them.
I
Funded
out
of
this
program
without
other
city
incentives,
that's
not
to
say
that
they
they
could
be
eligible
for
tax
abatement
and
they
could
be
projects
where
invest.
Esm
may
be
involved.
Katie.
Can
you
can
you
speak
any
more
to
the
layering
of
funds
from
either
invest
dsm?
Am
I
off
on
the
tif
incentives,
any
other
layering
that
you
know
of.
J
Yeah
no
you're
you're
correct.
We,
I
don't,
I
don't
believe,
we've
identified
any
that
have
indicated
interest
in
tiff.
There
may
be
a
couple
that
landed
an
invest,
dsm.
J
Targeted
area,
but
we
also
talked
with
investia
sm
about
potentially
either
layering
funds
or,
if
there's
a,
maybe
a
project
that
is
maybe
a
smaller
scope
that
investius
their
commercial
program
takes
on
that
project
depending
on
capacity
within
their
program.
So
I
think,
there's
multiple
avenues
that
we
could
take,
but
as
far
as
interested
interested
parties
in
this
program,
I
think
only
two
have
landed
in
the
investia
some
boundaries.
I
Much
like
the
blighted
property
programs
that
we
have
where
I
think
we
have
made
efforts
to
be
city-wide.
This
is
this
is
really
an
effort
to
to
make
the
funds
available
city-wide.
Yes,
they
could
be
layered
with
investiusm,
but
really
our
focus
is
to
work
throughout
the
cities
in
all
of
the
neighborhoods.
C
K
Thanks
mayor,
will
we,
before
all
these
are
awarded
to
each
project,
will
they
be
on
the
agenda
or
it
just?
Is
it
internally
going
to
be
done.
I
K
K
F
I
Any
project
throughout
the
city
can
apply
and
receive
these
dollars.
At
this
point
we
are
not
targeting
particular
areas
as
we
you
know,
as
we
look
at
as
we
look
at
revitalization
planning
programs
in
various
parts
of
the
city,
we
could
shift
that
and
if
we
do
we
will.
We
will
certainly
make
the
council
aware
and
and
and
provide
input
to
that.
But
at
this
point
we
are.
K
I
I
Yes,
absolutely,
and
I
you
know,
I
expect
that
this
will
likely
be
at
some
point,
an
annual
kind
of
reporting
that
we
will
want
to
do.
But
initially
you
know
we're
gonna.
We
have
a.
We
have
a
chunk
of
money
in
the
340
000
and
we
will
report
to
you
on
how
that
was
awarded.
You'll,
certainly
see
anything
come
forward
that
is
above
the
that
is
above
the
50
000
level,
but
we'll
also
report
to
you
on
those
grants
that
are
under
that
50
000
threshold.
K
Carl,
so
this
would
this
be
a
tool
for
some
that
you
know
doesn't
meet
some
of
the
zoning
requirements
that
have
to
do
fencing
and
parking
lot
approvals
and
landscaping.
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
tool
in
their
toolbox
to
be
able
to
help
them
correct.
I
It
could
be
used
for
those
sorts
of
improvements.
However,
we
are
not
allowing
solely
parking
lot
landscape
requirements
to
be
a
project.
It
needs
to
be
in
conjunction
with
a
building
improvement
as
well.
Okay,
but
often
time,
that's
oftentimes,
that's
where
we
see
those
needs
for
those
site
plan
requirements
that
they
kick
in
is
when
somebody
has
an
idea
for
a
building
improvement
that
they
want
to
make
they're,
making
an
investment
that
kicks
them
into
the
requirement
to
make
those
site-wide
improvements,
and-
and
so
that's
what
kicks
it
in.
H
Well,
thank
you
mayor
connie,
so
aaron,
I
think
in
one
of
the
earlier
slides,
you're,
excluding
car
sales
or
car
lots.
So
this
is
car
dealerships,
okay,
so
related
to
car
sales.
Like
could
a
auto
parts
auto
detailing,
so
those
could
qualify.
I
Yes,
okay,
you
know,
we
wrestled
with
these
yeah
sure
full
disclosure,
the
the
nitty
gritty
behind
the
scenes.
We
wrestled
with
these
quite
a
bit
honestly
and
we
have
found
that
every
time
we
come
up
with
an
absolute
cannot
do
something,
there's
a
compelling
reason
for
somebody
who
seems
to
be
disallowed.
So
you
know
we
mean.
B
I
When
we
say
we,
we
discourage
these
uses
from
applying,
but
by
the
same
token
there
may
be.
There
may
be
some
circumstance
that
we
cannot
imagine
at
this
moment
in
time
where
something
would
make
sense
to
help
out
a
neighborhood.
H
And
aaron
piggybacking
on
a
email
exchange
that
we
had
in
the
last
week
about
building
improvements
and
the
the
question
is
wow.
We
have
to
improve
our
parking
lot
at
the
same
time
that
really
that's
kind
of
piling
on
to
their
renovation
expenses.
Could
this
could
these
dollars
help
with
that
project?.
H
Okay
and
you'll,
let
that
party
know
or
should
I
let
that
party
know
that
that
this
might
help
make
that
come
together.
I
Yes,
you
can
you,
may
you
may
do
that
that
outreach
on
this?
I
will
say
that
that
this,
that
this
program
is
really
by
function
of
its
name.
K
I
just
didn't
thanks
for
asking
so
look
when
you
say
neighborhood:
does
it
have
to
adjoin
the
neighborhood
like
in
like
an
n2
or
something
like
that
for
this
to
be
awarded.
D
No
further
comments:
I
appreciate
the
input
from
council.
Hopefully
it's
it's
better
understood
how
this
program
is
is
positioned
and
it's
it's
out
there
working
it's
another
tool
in
the
toolbox.
So
that's
that's
the
two
topics
we
have
for
this
morning.
There's
there's
the
opportunity
for
council
to
report
out
mayor
on
any
boards
and
commissions
if
they
wanted.
C
Anybody
joe
your
hands
up
again.
K
Nothing
with
the
board
commission,
I
just
didn't
know
if
everybody
was
on
the
line.
I
did
wanted
to
keep
supervisor
morrow
in
our
prayers.
He
did
lose
his
wife
on
saturday
from
a
fall
at
their
home.
Just
for
the
folks.
I
know
I
mentioned
that
earlier,
but
I
didn't
know
if
everybody
was
on
the
line.
C
All
right,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
panelists
in
the
council.
Josh,
you
have
your
hand
up.
F
Yeah,
well,
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
an
issue
that
I
think
connie
raised
at
the
tail
end
of
our
meeting,
the
as
the
meeting
was
being
cancelled
when,
when
this
didn't
work
out
about
the
streaming
and
and
posting
of
of
this
meeting,
you
know
I
know
in
the
past,
we've
done
a
better
job
of.
I
think
posting
the
presentations
online
and
I'd
like
us.
I
I
think
connie
suggested
that
we
post
these
meetings
and
the
presentations,
or
maybe
it
was
just
the
meetings.
F
But
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
that,
because
I
thought
that
was
a
good
suggestion
and
I'd
like
us
to
get
back
to
posting
the
presentations
and
the
meetings
from
the
work
sessions,
so
that
folks,
who
are
unable
to
attend
a
7
30
a.m,
work
session
might
be
able
to
to
at
least
follow,
along
with
the
work
and
conversations
that
we're
having.
F
B
Post
the
presentations
after
the
meetings
they're
always
available
when
they're
presented
to
me,
so
I
always
have
been
doing
that.
That's
not
anything
out
of
the
ordinary
they're
available
after
the
work
sessions
are
held.
A
Apparently
your
honor,
we
have
treated
work,
work
sessions
differently
than
workshops,
and
my
my
suggestion
to
the
council
and
advice
of
the
council
would
be
that
there's
absolutely
no
harm
at
all
in
posting
and
live
streaming.
A
The
work
sessions,
just
as
we
do
council
meetings
or
the
formal
workshops
that
used
to
take
place
in
the
chambers,
at
least
until
the
pandemic,
is
over,
because
that
would
cut
down
on
some
of
the
confusion,
both
external
and
internal.
So
I
I
would
have
absolutely
no
issue
at
all
with,
with
all
of
the
meetings
being
live
streamed
on
every
media,
that
we
have
available.
G
I
I
was
follow
up
that
I
think
that's
important.
I
think
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we
do
in
our
work
sessions
are
important
to
the
citizens
and
I
believe
that
we
should
continue.
I
know
that
they
got
away
from
it
for
a
while,
but
I
think
we
need
to
go
back
to
it,
especially
during
this
period,
where
we
are
all
which
will
be
for
a
while.
So
I
think
it's
important
that
we
get
this
information,
make
it
easier
so
appreciate
if
we
could
get
that
done.
D
Okay
and
and
we'll
have
a
conversation
as
we
look
to
go
back
in
person
on
how
to
handle
those.
I
know
the
council
enjoyed
the
more
informal
settings
sitting
around
tables
and
talking
through
issues
that
the
public's
invited,
obviously
to
to
sit
in
a
listen
and
when
we
get
back
to
in
person,
we
can.
We
can
talk
about,
maybe
recording
those
audio
only
might
make
sense
to
stream
the
audio
at
least
the
public.
So
we'll
plan
to
have
that
conversation
as
we
open
back
up
to
in-person
meetings.
G
No,
I
was
just
going
to
say:
I
know
that
some
of
us,
because
of
the
filming
or
whatever,
but
I
think
that
at
least
minimal
as
audio-
I
don't
really
you
know,
even
if
we're
in
an
informal
setting.
I
think
we
can
still
film
that,
but
we
can
discuss
that
further,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
our
work
sessions
are
available
to
the
public,
just
as
our
meetings
are.
C
All
right,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
panelists
and
council
members
and
thank
aaron
and
her
staff
for
walking
us
through
the
work
that
they're
doing
and
thank
you
all
and
thank
also
the
the
public
and
again,
let
us
know,
and
either
through
the
city,
clerk's
office
or
the
city
manager's
office.
If
you
have
any
follow-up
questions
or
concerns,
thank
you
all
for
attending
this
morning,
this
meeting's.
