Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Good
morning,
everyone
I
will
call
to
order
our
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
committee
of
the
whole.
My
name
is
Elizabeth
glidden
and
I.
Am
the
chair
of
this
committee
and
I'm
joined
today
by
a
quorum
of
our
committee,
including
council
members,
Gordon
Cano,
Andrew
Johnson
at
council
members
yang
Quincy
were
Sami
good,
goodman
fry
and
Palmisano
and
I
just
want
to
express
regrets
on
behalf
of
the
council
president
that
she
was
unable
to
join
us
this
morning,
I
will
say
we
have
a
very
short
meeting
of
the
committee
of
the
whole.
A
Today
we
do
not
have
any
independent
agenda
and
discussion
items,
and
so
our
meeting
is
focused
and
reports
of
committees,
and
our
first
report
is
from
the
executive
committee
and
normally
Council
President
Johnson
would
give
that
report.
I
was
not
in
attendance
and
so
I'm
going
to
ask
counsel
who
all
was
there
councilmember
Gordon,
please
our
minority
leader,
to
give
that
report.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
the
executive
committee
just
disgusts
two
issues.
One
of
them
was
the
interim
designation
of
Jay
strobel,
as
interim
city
coordinator,
effective
may
10
for
a
period
not
to
exceed
90
days,
and
the
other
was
a
tentative
labor
agreement,
which
was
with
the
electrician's
unit,
represented
by
the
International
Brotherhood
of
Electrical
Workers,
and
that
was
forwarded
to
ways
and
means
as
well.
Thank
you
thank
you.
A
C
You,
madam
vice
president,
there
are
11
items
on
our
agenda
for
approval
tomorrow.
Item
number
one
is
a
land
sale
item
number
two
is
the
mobile
food
stores
ordinance.
This
is
allowing
mobile
grocery
stores
for
staple
foods,
and
we
did
hear
some
tests
about
how
these
will
primarily
be
in
areas
that
are
food
deserts,
which,
I
think
is
why
there's
been
so
much
support
for
this
ordinance
item.
C
Number
three
is
a
recommendation
to
revoke
a
rental
license
item
four
is
liquor
beer
and
gambling
licenses
item
five
as
a
condition
on
a
rental
dwelling
license
item
six
are
some
changes
to
our
energy
efficiency,
business
loan
program
guidelines
and
the
item?
7?
Is
the
trillion
BTU
energy
efficiency
loan
program?
Just
a
few
technical
changes
in
the
program's
item?
Number
eights
really
notable.
It's
authorizing
a
contract
with
US
bank
for
our
step
up
in
turns
to
be
able
to
get
their
payroll
on
prepaid
debit
cards.
C
This
is
part
of
the
unbanked
avant
Weber
Quincy
wants
to
talk
about
it.
It's
a
really
great
thing,
because
these
young
people
then
don't
need
to
go
in
cash
checks
and
pay
fees,
but
they
can
use
a
prepaid
debit
card
to
get
paid
by
us.
So
I
think
it's
a
really
good
step
in
the
right
direction.
Item
number
nine
is
really
has
to
do
with
sack
credits
and
the
Downtown
East
development
plan.
This
is
to
keep
the
sack
credits
on
site,
which
is
consistent
with
our
policy
item.
A
B
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
vice
president,
the
health,
energy
and
community
engagement
committee
will
be
bringing
four

A
H
You,
madam
vice
president,
we
have
four
items
from
zoning
and
planning.
The
first
was
a
deny.
The
first
was
an
appeal
filed
by
Diane
Hofstede
of
a
liquor
store
proposed
at
80
broadway
street
northeast,
and
the
committee
had
a
public
hearing
about
this
and
we
voted
to
deny
the
appeal
with
some
changes,
but
talking
with
councilmember
fry.
It
sounds
like
it.
This
item
should
go
back
to
committee
for
further
discussion.
H
The
changes
that
we
request
are
going
change
the
plan
pretty
significantly
so
it
looks
like
it
needs
more
discussion
at
zoning
and
planning,
and
I
can
let
councilmember
if
I
talk
about
that
at
the
end
here,
if
you
would
like
the
other
three
items,
items
two
three
and
four
were
all
in
the
consent
agenda
and
the
second
item
was
passage
of
a
resolution
approving
an
application
to
vacate
part
of
utility
easement
to
allow
ground
floor.
Mechanical
equipment
additions
at
the
livery
of
condominium.
The
third
had
three
parts
related
to
building
four
life
source.
H
The
first
was
passage
of
a
resolution
to
vacate
multiple
drainage
and
utility
easements,
and
the
second
is
to
authorize
execution
of
the
final
utility
easement
relocation
and
construction
agreement.
The
third
is
to
authorize
execution
and
recording
of
the
declaration
of
drainage
and
utility
easements,
and
the
fourth
item
was
to
approve
an
application
to
rezone
a
property
from
r3
to
see
one
to
allow
for
the
cowgirls
catering
business
at
1401
marshall
street
northeast.
A
I
You
Vice
President
Glenn
this
regarding
the
the
proposed
liquor
store.
I
think
this
we
need
another
couple
weeks
just
so
I
can
go
back
to
the
neighborhood
so
that
we
can
talk
with
the
potential
owner
of
the
store
and,
if
need
be,
we
can
can
change
up
the
plan
slightly
and
then
have
a
discussion
at
znp.
So
I
think
this
is
the
right
decision.
A
All
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
further
business
before
us.
I
will
say
I
thought
we
were
going
to
have
a
closed
session
after
our
council
meeting,
but
I'm
not
seeing
that
noticed
on
here.
So
this
is
just
a
heads
up
to
council
members
that
this
must
be
more
recent
than
the
agenda
being
put
together
here.
We
will
have
a
closed
session
after
our
council
meeting
on
friday
and
with
that
we
are
concluded
with
our
business
and
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you
very
much.
