Description
Minneapolis Community Development and Regulatory Services Committee Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
this
meeting
of
the
community
development
and
regulatory
services
committee,
as
well
as
the
joint
mcda
operating
committee.
We
have
a
couple
of
joint
items,
we're
going
to
take
up
and
we'll
do
those
first,
so
I'll
start
with
the
mcd
a
consent
item,
which
is
the
conduit
bonds
policy.
Many
of
you
know
even
having
staff
of
been
working
on
this
for
about
five
years,
and
so
I
did
have
an
opportunity
to
get
briefed
and
read.
The
report
I'm
happy
to
see
there's
so
much
agreement.
A
So
I'm
going
to
move
item
number
11,
which
is
the
consent
item
for
the
mcd,
a
operating
committee,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved.
Then
we'll
move
on
to
the
joint
public
hearing
with
the
mcd,
a
operating
committee
and
the
CD
committee
on
item
number,
one
which
is
a
public
hearing.
Mr.
rhymer
welcome.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Henry
rhymer
I'm,
the
operations
director
for
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
before
you
today
are
some
housekeeping
measures
that
stem
from
the
mcd
a
transformation
into
see
pet
back
in
2003.
What
we're
doing
here
is
cleaning
up
some
things
merely
housekeeping
these
are
not
substantive
their
intended
to
eliminate
redundant
and
obsolete
ordinances
and
administrative
procedures.
What
we're
seeking
to
do
is
to
repeal
Minneapolis
code
of
ordinances
chapters
for
14
for
16
for
18
and
45,
and
the
development
objectives
procedural
document.
B
Now
these
ordinances
only
pertain
to
the
mcd
a
they're
not
used
and
they're
not
necessary.
The
development
objectives
document
was
developed
prior
to
the
murder
of
the
planning
department,
with
mcda,
creating
see
pet
to
encourage
better
coordination
between
those
functions.
Now
those
functions
are
both
residing
and
see
pad
they're
not
necessary.
Those
functions
are
coordinated
within
see
pet
internally,
we're
also
seeking
to
amend
MCO
chapter
4,
22
and
administrative
procedures
pertaining
to
program
guidelines
and
project
and
financing
plans,
as
well
as
the
mcd
a
bylaws.
B
Now
the
chapter
4
22
amendments
harmonize
the
mcd,
a
provisions
with
the
rest
of
the
city,
for
example,
we're
recommending
the
elimination
of
the
provision
governing
ethics,
because
the
city's
ethics
ordinance
governs
cpat
employees.
There
is
no
need
for
a
separate,
indifferent
code
of
ethics
for
MCD
mcda
employees.
B
Likewise,
with
the
personnel
section,
mcda
has
no
staff
and
no
personnel
some
of
the
mcd,
a
functions
that
remain
are
performed
by
see
pet
employees.
So
other
amendments
reflect
the
current
structure
and
functioning
of
the
mcd
a
and
why
are
we
preserving
the
mcd
a
well?
We
continue
to
own
a
small
number
of
developments
in
the
city
under
mcda
and
it
retains
some
flexibility
and
authorities
that
we
have
granted
under
state
law
to
mcd
a
such
as
small
bond
issuance,
the
mcd,
a
bylaws
and
the
administrative
documents.
B
The
changes
recognize
the
creation
of
C
pad,
and
the
amendments
are
intended
to
make
those
procedures
consistent
with
current
city
council
procedures,
see
pad
the
finance
department
city
clerk's
office
in
the
City
Attorney's
Office
have
all
worked
on
these
changes
and
all
joining
the
recommendation.
The
heavy
lifting
of
this
has
been
done
by
Nikki
Newman,
jeff,
snyder
and
joan
with
you,
and
I
thank
them
for
their
work
on
this
and
thank
you
are.
A
There
any
questions
for
mr.
rhymer
on
this
report,
seeing
none
I
also
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
your
hard
work
on
this.
It's
taking
up
an
entire
page
of
paper,
so
there's
been
a
lot
of
work.
That's
been
happen
to
streamline
this
process,
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number,
one,
which
is
a
large
housekeeping
ordinance,
as
suggested
by
mr.
rhymer.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue,
anyone
anyone
seeing
none,
we'll
close
the
public

council
member

seven,
has
been

Are
there
any
further
comments
or

community
development
of

I'm
going

12,
13,
14,

A
The

seeing
none
all

starting
with
item
number
one.
Mr.
winkle
Hank
welcome.
D
In
the
report
before
you,
staff
is
requesting
the
approval
of
modifications
to
the
TIF
plans
for
for
existing
TIF
districts.
These
four
tip
districts
were
established
back
in
the
late
90s
and
early
2000s.
In
each
case,
the
modification
involves
an
update
to
the
tax
increment
budget
in
the
TIF
lamp,
which
the
budget
itself
just
simply
shows
the
projected
revenues
and
expenditures
over
life
of
the
tip
district
and,
as
time
is
marched
on,
we
have
better
projections
of
those
revenues
in
those
costs.
These
updates
are
administrative
in
nature.
D
They
are
required
by
the
tip,
statutes
and
the
office
of
the
state
auditor,
and
they
allow
the
city
to
meet
our
financial
obligations
from
each
of
these
four
tip
districts.
Notification
of
the
modification
was
sent
to
neighborhood
groups
and
other
affected
parties,
and
we
receive
no
comments
or
feedback.
Each
of
the
modifications
is
attached
to
your
report.
It
contains
contains
a
map
if
you're
interested,
showing
where
these
tip
districts
are
there's
also
a
resolution
attached
and
in
two
cases
the
tip
districts
are
within
the
common
project.

a
extended

of
operation,
license
for
a
gasoline
convenience
station
known
as

They
currently
are
licensed
for
gasoline
food,

and
they're,
currently
allowed

p.m.
E
E
This
application
requires
the
public
hearing.
We
did
notify
all
residents
and
property
owners
within
300
feet
of
this
location
and
also
the
Southwest
mini
app
Business
Association.
In
the
King
field,
Neighborhood
Association,
we
received
quite
a
lot
of
responses
to
this
notification
process.
We
received
10
responses.
Three
are
in
support
of
the
application
and
in
seven,
are
opposed
because
of
the
proximity
of
this
facility.
Too
many
single-family
homes,
local
residents
are
concerned
about
noise
traffic,
litter,
hangout,
behavior.
E
Lights
from
the
station
being
on
late
at
night
because
of
the
negative
response
was
so
great
in
this
application
we
contacted
the
owner
of
the
station
and
spoke
with
them
and
let
them
know
all
the
negative
responses
and
asked
him
if
he
would
consider
reducing
his
application
from
midnight
on
Friday
and
Saturday
to
just
11
p.m.
on
seven
days
a
week
from
10pm
a
week
so
and
he
agreed
to
that
and
amended
as
application.
So
this
application
now
will
be
for
extended
hours
of
operation
from
7am
to
11
p.m.
seven
days
a
week.
E
This
application
will
expire
and
I'm
May
first,
and
he
will
have
to
renew
that
license
and
can
review
any
issues
that
might
have
been
brought
up
since
that
time
or
any
complaints.
So
based
on
that
review.
Staffs
recommendation
is
that
we
approve
this
extended
hours
of
application,
license
4401

to
increase

to
11

appreciate
all
the
work
that's
gone
into
getting
us
to
this
point,
and
if
you
were
to
approve
us
today,
it
would
be
personally
a
trifecta
for
me
since
I
live
about
a
block
from
bed,
new
bad
waitress
and
about
three
blocks
from
the
the
new
I
donut
place.
So
to
me,
it'd
be
a
win-win
wind.
I
hope
you
prove
us
and
I
hope
you'll
all
be
patrons.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
for
your
testimony
is
there
anyone
else
here
to
speak
to
this
issue,
anyone
anyone
sing,
none,
I'm
going
to
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
approval
myself.
I
know
if
council
member
yang
was
here,
he
would
just
be
so
pleased
and
so
excited
about
this
transformation.
Many
of
you
know
this
is
in
the
old
one.
A
A
Thank
you.
I
will
then
move
on
to
our
last
remaining
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
our
quasi-judicial
item.
Number
10
I
will
note
that
items
8
and
9
are
on
the
agenda,
but
are
going
to
be
postponed
one
cycle
due
to
the
fact
that
our
committee
was
a
week
late
because
of
the
election,
so
those
need
to
be
reino
de
store
notice
more
properly.
So
I
will
move
to
postpone
items
eight
and
nine
one
cycle,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
all.
A
F
You,
madam
chair
item,
number
ten,
is
a
rental
dwelling
license
for
54
2040,
fourth
avenue
south?
It's
an
informa
pauperis
motion
before
the
Minnesota
Court
of
Appeals
and
in
forma
pauperis
motion
basically
is
means
that
the
individual
who
is
applying
does
not
have
the
money
to
continue
and
to
pay
the
court
fees,
and
so
they
are
asking
and
requesting
that
those
fees
be
waived.
K
K
You
mr.
vice
chair-
and
you
summarized
that
issue
correctly
in
in
mr.
Moreno
stead,
I
can
present
the
staff
position.
This
is
kind
of
a
rare
item.
I
believe
it
second
time
that
the
council
has
been
ordered
by
the
court
of
appeals
to
first
give
its
opinion
or
to
weigh
in
on
a
request
for
to
proceed
in
forma
pauperis
by
an
appellant.
In
this
case.
That's
mr.
Margo
k-pax,
and
he
is
appealing
this
councils,
revocation
of
his
rental,
license
at
fifty
four
twenty.
K
Forty
fourth
avenue
south
he's
appealing
that
to
the
Minnesota
Court
of
Appeals,
and
there
is
a
filing
fee
attached
with
that
payable
to
the
court
of
appeals.
That
I
believe
is
five
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
He
has
submitted
an
affidavit
or
proceeding
in
forma
pauperis
to
have
those
fees
waived
based
on
his
lack
of
ability
to
pay
those
fees
on,
and
the
Court
of
Appeals
has
remanded
it
to
this
city.
K
To
give
its
position
regarding
that
I
will
very
briefly
sketch
out
what
the
staffs
position
is
on
that
and
basically
the
reasons
that
the
staff
is
requesting,
or
it's
the
staffs
position
to
deny
that
that
this
committee
should
deny
the
request
of
mr.
k-pax.
Is
that
number
one
he
does
not
allege
to
be
in
receipt
of
any
form
of
public
assistance?
That's
means-tested
he's
not
represented
by
any
legal
services,
any
legal
aid
type
organization.
K
The
public
record
indicates
that
he
owns
four
properties
just
in
Minneapolis.
So
three,
in
addition
to
the
property
that
he
is
appealing,
the
revocation
of
its
rental
dwelling
license
and
also
in
his
affidavit,
which
has
been
provided
to
the
this
committee.
Although
he
does
list
the
number
of
deaths,
he
also
states
that
he
has
sixty
thousand
dollars
cash
in
hand
and
so
based
on
those
factors.
It
would
be
the
staffs
request
that
the
committee
deny
the
request
to
proceed
in
forma
pauperis
I
am
unaware
of
whether
mr.
capex
has
been
is
present
here.
K
F
K
F
Thank
you
is
mr.,
a
capex
here
today,
I'm
going
to
open
the
public
hearing
specifically
for
mr.
k-pax
is
mr.
Kovacs.
Here
today
is
mr.
capex
here
today.
Seeing
that
he's
not
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
I
will
move
the
staff
recommendation,
which
is
to
deny
the
motion
for
in
forma
pauperis
I.
F
If
you
have
for
rental
properties
that
you
own
you're,
obviously
correct,
collecting
rent
on
them,
it's
not
like
you're,
entirely
destitute
and
generally
an
informa
pauperis
motion
is
used
for
someone
who
is
homeless
or
in
extremely
dire
straits
and
with
65,000
in
the
bank.
I
don't
see
that
here
so
I
agree
with
staff
entirely
I
move
approval
of
the
staff
recommendation,
all
those
in
approval,
please
say:
aye
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed
say.
No,
that
motion
passes
mrs.
mmmm,
sure
Thank.
A
You
counselor
/
fri.
There
are
no
further
items
on
our
agenda,
so
we
stand
adjourned.
I
want
to
note
that
the
next
meeting,
which
is
going
to
be
tuesday,
will
have
quite
a
lengthy
agenda.
So
it's
important
for
folks
to
book
out.
You
know
a
good
amount
of
time
because
of
the
public
hearings
and
other
items
that
are
coming
before
us
as
we
get
close
to
your
end,
Thank
You,
Irene
I'm,
going
to
give
you
these
back.
