From YouTube: November 2, 2016 Committee of the Whole
Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Good
morning,
I
am
calling
to
order
a
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
committee
of
the
whole.
My
name
is
Elizabeth
glidden
I'm,
the
chair
of
this
committee
and
I'm
joined
today
by
council
members,
Cano
right,
yang,
Quincy,
Goodman,
fry
and
Palmisano.
We
are
a
quorum
of
the
committee
today.
Our
only
order
of
business
is
reports
of
committees,
and
so
we
will
start
with
our
community
development
regulatory
services.
Committee,
chair,
Eleanor,
Goodman.
B
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president,
will
be
bringing
forward
11
items
for
approval.
I'll.
Just
note
that,
since
many
of
the
members
of
our
committee
are
here,
it
was
a
quite
an
emotional
meeting
because
of
the
incredible
success
we
had
with
our
nine
percent
tax
credits
and
being
able
to
fully
fund
two
projects
that
have
been
in
the
pipeline
for
a
while,
as
well
as
the
just
the
volume
of
quality
projects
coming
through
from
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
So
item
number
one
is
a
land
sale.
B
An
item
two
is
a
application
for
the
hewing
hotel,
which
is
about
to
open
item.
Three
are
the
levies
for
special
assessments
for
a
variety
of
issues
like
nuisance
conditions,
and
so
that's
items
through
item
3
1
through
16
will
be
a
amending
will
be
taking
the
staff
recommendation.
There
was
a
question
about
someone
who
got
up
and
testified
in
committee,
and
we
later
found
out
that
the
person
who
testified
in
committee
went
through
the
administrative
hearing
process
in
advance.
B
We
weren't
sure
if
this
gentleman
had
done
that
at
the
time,
because
there
are
like
thousands
of
assessments,
so
you
have
to
just
take
their
word
for
it
and
when
we
followed
up,
we
found
out
that
they
did
show
up
actually
at
the
administrative
hearing
process.
So
we
would
weren't
able
to
do
anything
different
than
with
the
staff
recommended
item.
4
is
a
rental
license
dwelling
revocation
item
five
of
the
liquor
business
and
gambling
license
applications
item
six
is
operating
conditions
for
business
in
downtown
item.
Seven
is
supporting
the
Ovation
group's
application
through
deed
item.
B
8
are
the
nine
percent
tax
credits
of
low
income,
housing
tax
credit
projects
going
to
youth
link,
great
river
landing
and
an
Prospect
Park
item?
9
is
a
deed
award
item.
10
is
a
low
bid,
an
item
number
11
or
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
project
recommendations.
So
it
was
a
packed
agenda
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
items
1
through
11.
A

in
the
middle
of
our
process
to
develop
our
2017
legislative
agenda.
The
item

taking

really
just
a
cleanup
of
the
2016
legislative
policy

take
out
old
items
and
clean
up
language.
So
that's
what
we're
acting
on
