2017
I
am

one
item

A
A
I

asked

city

work
with
a

to
prepare
a
search
process
for
a

and
today,
I
am
requesting

david
frank
as
the
interim
director
of
cpad
effective
august
2nd

a
period

90
days.
I
do
believe
strongly
that
David
is
the
right
person
to
take
on
this
responsibility
at
this
time.
A
He
has
been
serving
as
the
director
of
economic
policy
and
development
for
the
past
two
years,
he's
been
instrumental
in
cultivating
and
sustaining
Minneapolis

commercial
districts
through
the
great
streets
program
supporting
new
business
and
business
development
through
the
business
technical
assistance
program,
also
known
as
feed
tab
and
building
employment
opportunities
for
youth
ages,
14
to
21
through
step-up,
our
very
successful
jobs
program
prior
to
his
leader.
His
current
leadership
position
from
2011
to
2015
David
managed
the
city's
transit
oriented
development
activities
of
see
Pez
manager
of
transit,
oriented
development,
which
is
a
crucial
way.
A
We
think
about
growth
moving
forward
here
in
the
city,
so
we
all
know
David
to
be
a
vital
member
of
our
team
at
City
Hall,
a
dependable
steward
for
a
number
of
important
programs,
an
initiative
that
we
valued
here
at
the
city.
He
operates
with
steadfast
focus
on
bringing
economic
development
and
prosperity
to
every
corner
of
our
city.
I,
look
very
much
look
forward
to
seeing
him
lead
in
this
new
role
and
I
extend
my
gratitude
to
you
David,
for
your
willingness
to
take
on
this
role.
So
I
will
move.
B
Thank

madam
chair
and
I,
will

your
comments.
