A
Okay

I'm,

One
is
a
public
hearing.
7

on
the
consent
agenda
and
one
is
a
discussion
item.
A
I
think
what
I'll
do
is
go
through
the
consent
agenda
first
in
case
anyone's
here,
for
that
they
don't
have
to
stay
for
the
rest
of
it
and
then
we'll
go
to
our
public
hearing
on
the
first
item,
which
is
our
emergency
shelter
ordinance.
If
any
committee
members
want
to
pull
off
a

we

B
A
C
Chair
comes
another
fry.
This
is
a
this
particular
one
with
the
known
estate
is
the
first
one
for
us
and
how
it
came
about
was
we
hired?
We've
ended
up
hiring
two
of
their
students
or
our
seasonal
inspectors
in
environmental
health,
and
they
have.
We
have
have
a
written
agreement
for
them
to
get
academic
credit.
Oh
okay,
we
already.
We
do
have
probably
a
half
a
dozen
other
agreements
for
like
the
University
of
Minnesota,
st.
Thomas
in
Aries.
You
know
wherever
we
need
to.
C
C
C
Mr.
chair
councilmember
pry
it's
what
the
particular
situation
yes
Dario's,
but
it
would
allow
us
then,
over
the
five
years
if
they
have
other
students
and
what
we
often
find
as
if
they
have
students
who
really
liked
the
work
that
they're
doing
with
us.
They're
going
to
recommend
it
to
others,
and
so
I
would
anticipate.
Perhaps
getting
more
Winona
students
open
the
next
five
years
and.
C
A
Thank
you
very
much,
seeing
no
other
questions
or
comments,
then
I
will
move
the
consent
agenda,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye,
aye,
NE
po
say
no.
Those
items
that
are
approved
and
now
we'll
go
to
our
first
item,
which
is
a
public
hearing
on
an
ordinance
amendment.
The
emergency,
shelter
ordinance
amendment
and
before
we
open
the
public
hearing
will
get
a
brief
presentation
and.
D
D
This
is
for
the
addition
of
emergency
shelters
and
adding
a
chapter
2
36
to
our
health
and
sanitation.
At
the
end
of
2015,
zoning
did
a
text
amendment
to
allow
a
new
category
or
shelters
emergency
shelters.
What
this
does
is
allow
some
smaller
shelters
to
operate
outside
of
the
downtown
area
and
not
require
them
to
have
access
or
use
to
a
place
of
religious
institution.
D
We
had
there's
a
couple:
nonprofit
homeless,
advocacy
groups
express
interest
and
possibly
doing
this
in
other
areas
of
the
city
we
put
together.
Some
rules
to
operate
under
this
license
to
minimum
rules.
Just
maintain
a
safe
and
maintainable
facility
wanted
to
make
sure
they
had
proper
laundry
services
bathrooms
and
it
was
constructed
properly.
All
these
facilities
will
need
to
comply
with
the
Minnesota,
Building
Code
fire
code
and
any
accessibility
requirements
for
those
facilities.
A
E
E
As
far
as
accessibility
provisions,
the
code
would
require
an
accessible
route
to
an
entrance,
at
least
one
accessible
sleeping
room,
and
that
individual
on
that
accessible
floor
would
need
access
to
a
restroom
which
would
include
either
a
shower
or
bath,
and
if
laundry
facilities
are
provided,
accessibility
would
be
required
to
the
laundry
facilities
and
being
that
the
ordinance
peers
to
require
laundry
facilities.
That
would
require
accessibility,
then,
and
then,
whether
the
facility
was
ten
or
a
few
newer
or
greater.
F
E
F
A
In
when
you
say
an
accessible
bathroom,
does
that
mean
the
door
has
to
be
wide
enough
for
a
wheelchair
to
get
in
and
out,
and
there
has
to
be
grab
bars
and
those
kinds
of
things
correct,
okay,
and
that
would
just
be
if
there
was
a
weather.
So
they'd
have
to
be
one
bedroom
on
the
first
floor
and
there'd
have
to
be
a
bathroom
that
that
person
could
get
into.
A
Alright,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Does
anybody
else
have
any
questions
or
comments
about
this?
Okay,
then
I
think
this
that's
good
for
the
presentation
and
now
we'll
open
the
public
hearing.
I,
don't
believe
anybody
has
signed
up
for
the
public
hearing,
but
this
is
your
opportunity
to
get
up
and
speak
now.
If
you're
here
to
speak
on
this,
seeing
no
one
then
I'm
going
to
close
the
public
hearing
and
then
I
will
move
this
ordinance
forward
and
see
if
there's
any
discussion
or
questions
councilmember
friday.
I
think.
A
E
A
This
we
went
through
a
lengthy
community
engagement
process
and
we
had
a
steering
committee
and
a
group
that
helped
us
earlier
when
we
were
drafting
the
zoning
code.
Amendments
and
everybody
was
I,
think
open
and
understanding
that
for
these
emergency
shelters,
where
people
could
stay
up
to
30
days
that
there
would
have
to
be
some
licensing
and
code,
work
done
and
I
believe
this
fits
the
model
and
I
know
that
I'm.
If
anybody
you
can
correct
me,
if
you
think
that
doesn't
matter,
other
people
in
this
room
were
involved
in
that.
A
Other
questions,
okay,
I,
think
we're
ready
to
vote
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
right,
any
opposed,
say
no
of
that
motion
carries
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here,
appreciate
it
and,
hopefully,
we'll
see
some
more
shelters,
opening
in
different
parts
of
our
city,
soon
well,
I
guess
we'll
have
to
see
time
will
tell
that
brings
us
to
our
final
item,
which
is
the
blueprint
for
equitable
engagement.
A
This
is
a
something
that
came
up
back
in
April
where
we
had
a
presentation
about
this
and
we
decided
that
we
would
table
it
and
hold
it
over
for
a
little
bit
so
that
we
would
give
ourselves
a
chance
to
be
all
briefed
by
staff
on
it
and
see
if
there
were
any
suggestions
or
amendment.
The
plan
now
is
to
adopt
this
and
there's
actually
I'll.
Just
let
my
colleagues
know
there
is
on
one
amendment
and
a
staff
direction
that
I'll
be
moving
to
go
along
with
this.
Based
on
those
discussions,
mr.
F
Chair,
gordon
and
committee
members,
are
they
had
a
chance
to
review
the
staff
direction?
I'm
I
think
that
is
actually
a
good
staff
direction.
I
like
the
notion
of
being
able
to
report
back
annually,
it
will
keep
the
work
alive
and
also
provide
some
accountability
to
the
public,
about
the
work
that's
being
done
here
so
I'm
in
support
of
the
amendment
and
also
the
staff
directive.
All.
A
I'll
move
to
amend,
I,
guess
the
plan
first
before
I
move
for
approval
of
the
plan,
and
this
is
a
it's
a
rather
minor
amendment
that
you
have
in
front
of
you.
There
are
a
number
of
different
strategies
in
the
plan
and
under
each
strategy
there
are
activities,
and
this
came
up
with
discussions
with
policy
aids.
A
The
idea
of
maybe
we
could
strengthen
the
first
activity
under
strategy
to
to
add
the
words
and
discouraging
and
preventing
exclusion
at
the
end
and
I'll
read
the
whole
activity
and
where
that
fits
in
the
end
for
everybody,
so
they
can
see
it
in
there
and
here
in
the
sentence.
This
is
working
collaboration
with
neighborhood
organizations
to
encourage
meaningful
involvement
of
more
residents
and
neighborhood
organizations,
focus
on
engagement,
strategies
on
identifying
and
removing
barriers
to
full
civic
participation
and
meaningful
engagement
and
discouraging
and
preventing
exclusion.
A
C
A
Any
opposed
all
right
that
carries
then
I'm
going
to
move
that
we
adopt
the
blueprint
for
effort
will
engagement
as
amended
any
discussion
on
that.
This
is
a
five-year
plan
and
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
staff
is
done
in
this
and
the
Commission
and
actually
attended
some
of
the
community
meetings
and
neighborhood
organizations,
certainly
waiting
more
involved
too.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
adopting
the
plan,
please
say
aye
all.
A
It
reads
as
follows:
direct
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
to
report
to
the
health
environment
and
community
engagement
committee
annually
on
progress
made
in
achieving
the
goals
of
the
blueprint
for
equitable
engagement.
Furthermore,
a
direct
the
NCR
department
to
continue
working
with
the
city
coordinators,
office
of
equity
and
inclusion,
the
City
Clerk's
office
and
the
civil
rights
department
to
develop
goals,
metrics
strategies
and
tools
for
city
staff,
neighborhood
organizations
and
boards
and
commissions
to
assist
them
in
assessing
and
improving
inclusion
and
equitable
community
engagement
efforts.
A
Any
discussion
on
that
staff
direction,
seeing
none
with
this
are
remarkably
efficient
committee.
I
will
then
move
the
staff
direction,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed.
That
motion
carries
and
I
think.
That
concludes
our
business
for
today.
Thank
you
very
much
everybody
for
your
participation
and
attention.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
