Minneapolis Community Development and Regulatory Services Committee Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
welcome
to
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
community
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
for
today,
June
20th,
I've,
been
joined
by
council
members,
Connaught,
Quincy
and
Reich
I
believe
complement
Frye
is
on
his
way.
Councilmember
lore
Tommy
is
unable
to
attend.
Today
we
have
a
very
lengthy
consent
agenda.
These
are
items
7
through
22,
including
a
number
of
referrals
from
the
city
council
meeting.
A
B
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
this
is
a
request
for
preliminary
approval
for
the
each
town
project
located
at
815
sixth
Street
south
in
downtown
Minneapolis,
to
be
requested
for
nine
million
dollars
of
multifamily
housing
entitlement
revenue,
bonds
to
provide
new
construction
for
workforce
housing
in
that
location
to
nonprofit
organizations.
First,
covenant,
church
and
Community
Development
Housing
Corporation
of
working
together
to
develop
this
workforce,
housing
and
the
location
of
the
project
will
be
near
the
Hennepin
County
Medical
Center,
u.s.
Bank,
Stadium
and
the
metropolitan
sports
facility.
B
This
new
construction
will
provide
high
quality
housing
in
partnership
with
a
well
respected
social
service
provider.
The
project
will
have
a
daycare
provider
and
I
will
have
play
area
for
the
tenant.
It's
creating
169,
affordable
housing
units
at
60%
of
area,
median
income,
which
is
a
tax
credit
rent
for
the
project.
B
There
will
be
one
hundred
two
hundred
and
thirty
six
parking
stalls
and
189
enclosed
stalls.
The
total
development
cost
of
the
project
is
about
thirty-five
million
dollars
and
the
city
of
Minneapolis
will
be
providing
nine
million.
Innocent
County
is
providing
nine
million
885
thousand
plus
dollars
to
complete
the
project
to
meet
the
fifty
percent
tax,
which
is
required
of
all
bond
deals.
The
sources
of
funds
includes
a
mission
loan
of
a
hundred
thousand
to
the
project
Vikings
front
of
250
of
five
hundred
and
then
the
Superbowl
phone
of
250
thousand
thousand.
B
This
will
be
a
private
placement
with
us
Bank
for
this
project.
The
city
likes
to
see
that,
because
we
feel
that
the
project
is
secure.
If
it's
a
private
placement,
the
city
has
right
now.
Eighty
six
million
plus
of
entitlement
bonds
remaining
with
the
nine
plus
million
dollars
of
use
of
this
project
will
only
have
seventy
seven
million
dollars
remaining
for
other
projects.
We
anticipate
a
closing
around
October
of
this
year
on
the
project.
I
have
any
questions.
A
Seeing
none
thank
you
for
your
report,
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
one,
which
is
the
issue
of
entitlement
funds
not
to
exceed
my
nine
million
dollars
for
the
project
at
815,
South.
Sixth
Street.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
Please
step
forward
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
C
C
So
I
am
grateful
for
your
efforts
and
your
consideration
and
feel
is
that
this
will
be
a
true
community
asset
that
will
invite
new
residents
to
the
downtown
core
leverage,
both
private
and
public
interests
and
most
of
all-
and
this
will
be
a
long-term
commitment
for
first
covenant-
that
it
will
be
affordable
for
the
length
of
that
building's
lifespan.
It's
the
goal
and
I
just
wanted
to
offer
those
comments
and
appreciate
all
that
it's
taken
to
get
to
this
point.
Thank.
A
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
am
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
this
project
move
forward,
as
mr.
Collison
explained
it
very
eloquently.
This
was
used
to
be
just
a
surface
parking
lot
to
serve
stadiums
and
now
we're
going
to
have
workforce
housing
at
60%
of
area,
median
income,
6169
units,
I,
believe
and
I.
You
know
a
daycare
to
boot,
so
this
is.
This
is
exactly
what
we're
looking
for
in
the
area,
we'll
have
a
diversity
of
incomes
and
people
and
uses
all
in
the
same
spot
and
I
can't.
A
E
Madam
chair,
we
have
an
application
by
Bill,
looks
in
Restaurant
Corp.
They
are
located
at
1821,
East,
Lake
Street.
They
currently
operate
as
a
restaurant
and
a
caterer,
and
they
would
like
to
add
a
sidewalk
cafe
that
application
does
require
a
public
hearing.
The
sidewalk
cafe
design
was
reviewed
and
approved
by
our
traffic
engineering
department
and
meets
all
of
their
requirements.
E
The
planned
hours
of
operation
for
the
sidewalk
cafe
are
from
6:00
a.m.
to
10:00
p.m.
Sunday
to
Thursday
and
from
6:00
a.m.
to
11
p.m.
Friday
and
Saturday.
We
notified
all
residents
property
owners
within
300
feet
of
the
restaurant.
We
also
notified
the
Powderhorn
Park
Neighborhood
Association,
and
we
received
no
responses
from
that
mailing.
It
seems
to
meet
all
of
our
requirements,
and
staff
is
recommending
that
the
application
be
approved
are.
A
There
any
questions
for
item
number
2
with
regard
to
the
new
license,
seeing
none
will
open
the
public
hearing
on
item
number
2,
which
is
a
new
license
of
1821
East
Lake
Street.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
Is
there
anyone
here
from
the
restaurant?
Oh
great,
do
you
want
to
come
up
and
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
you're
doing.
A
F
Iv
and
my
sister
on
the
wrist
world
and
I'm
having
her
be
here
today,
naturally,
what
she's
planning
to
have
a
coffee,
sidewalk
people
can't
come
the
neighborhood
and
sit
there
and
enjoy
the
summer,
and
actually
this
is
a
new
restaurant
people.
Even
don't
know
this
place
is
a
restaurant,
so
she
could
may
get
a
more
customer
to
see
when
they
just
occurred
in
the
road,
and
you
know
the
community
knows
what
we
what
she's
doing
there
as
in
Somali
food
and
murder,
Indian
and
American
food
also
well,.
A
F
A
E
E
Our
traffic
engineering
department
has
reviewed
this
the
diagram
and
plan
and
find
that
it
meets
all
of
their
requirements.
We
notified
all
property
owners
and
residents
within
foreigner
feet
of
today's
public
hearing.
We
also
notify
the
East
downtown
Council
and
the
warehouse
district
business
association
and
the
downtown
Minneapolis
Neighborhood
Association.
We
receive
no
responses
for
or
against
this
application
staff
finds
that
it
meets
all
of
our
requirements
and
our
recommending
that
the
application
be
approved.
E
A
D
A
E
There
has
been
this
establishment
has
been
announced,
a
liquor
license.
Prohibition
is
one
of
our
oldest
continuously
operating
on,
sell
liquor
establishments.
They
do
seek
this
upgrade
for
the
indoor
area
of
their
premises.
Only
the
outdoor
patio
area
is
existing
and
licensed
and
is
considered
question
key,
which
does
not
allow
live
entertainment.
This
is
in
the
Third
Ward
in
the
North
Loop
neighborhood.
E
E
The
applicant
has
undergone
a
security
review
with
the
first
Precinct
Police
Department,
and
they
have
made
several
security
recommendations,
including
security
staffing
levels,
designated
employee.
As
a
head
of
security,
the
role
security
staff
will
be
utilized
inside
and
outside
a
closing
to
get
customers
out
of
the
neighbourhood
at
the
close
of
business.
Public
hearing
is
required
for
this
upgrade.
We
notified
all
residents
and
property
owners
within
400
feet
of
the
premises.
We
also
notify
the
North
Loop
neighborhood
association,
the
downtown
Minneapolis
Neighborhood
Association.
E
In
the
warehouse
district
business
association,
we
received
14
responses
from
that
notification
process.
13
of
those
were
opposed.
It's
a
very
high
number
of
opposed
responses
to
a
liquor
upgrade.
The
majority
of
those
opposed
are
people
who
live
in
the
918
Lost
condominium,
building
directly
behind
Club
Jaeger,
and
they
relate
to
noise.
That's
escaping
the
premises,
amplified
sound,
that's
way
too
loud
and
disorderly
patrons
in
the
parking
lot.
E
We
have
spoken
to
the
owner
and
have
recommended
that
he
meet
with
our
environmental
management
department
in
the
next
10
days
is
and
go
over
a
sound
management
plan,
and
he
has
agreed
to
do
that.
Our
environmental
management
department
is
going
to
do
that
based
on
the
significant
number
of
opposition's
to
this
application.
I
would
recommend
that
the
committee
today
postpone
approval
of
this
application
until
that
environmental,
sound
management
review
has
been
done
other
than
that
the
the
zoning
and
proximity
issues
of
this
application
it
does
qualify
for
the
Class
B
I'm
still
liquid
license.
A
There
any
questions
for
mr.
Wilson
on
item
number
four.
This
has
been
noticed
as
a
public
hearing.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
We're
going
to
take
your
testimony
today
because
it's
been
noticed
as
a
public
hearing,
then
we'll
postpone
it
until
after
the
environmental
review,
and
you
can
come
back
as
then
as
well.
Yes,
if
we're
here
you're
here,
let's
do
it.
H
My
name
is
Todd
negra
I'm,
a
resident
of
burns
field,
North
Loop,
which
is
Right
adjacent
to
the
property
that
we're
talking
about
I've
been
a
resident
there
since
last
year,
and
we
send
it
to
your
lease
and
love.
The
neighborhood
I
saw
the
notice
for
this
meeting
on
Saturday
when
I
noticed
the
little
strips
of
paper
when
I
went
out
to
grab
my
paper
in
the
lobby
and
just
saw
these
kind
of
by
the
doorway.
So
that's
how
I
found
out
about
this
I
think
that
the
North
Loop
is
still
a
real
up-and-coming
hip.
H
Replaced
to
live.
People
are
flocking
here
from
all
over
the
place,
I
mean
that's
clearly
evidenced
by
all
the
construction,
that's
going
on,
be
it
renovations
or
new
construction,
I'm
going
to
say
something
I
play
in
a
band.
You
know
I
appreciate
going
out,
and
here
in
good
music
I've
been
to
club
Jaeger.
You
know
it's
a
fun
place.
The
thing
that
concerns
me
the
most
about
this.
H
The
notice
of
this
meeting
is
the
reference
in
the
note
here
that
says
and
I'm
going
to
quote
from
it,
allow
for
live
music
and
singing
without
limitation
as
to
the
number
of
musicians
or
singers
or
type
of
amplifications
during
their
hours
of
operation.
That's
the
end
of
the
quote
from
the
verbage.
Does
this
mean
two
times
as
loud?
As
already
is?
Does
it
mean
three
times
is
love?
There
are
some
times
over
there
when
it's
pounding
loud
and
I
can
feel
it
on
our
walls.
H
I
mean
that's
loud,
so
if
there's
no
restrictions
on
how
loud
it
can
be
I
guess
some
of
that's
being
pursued,
I,
guess
from
what
you
just
mentioned
over
there,
sir,
like
it
gets
a
the
North
Loop
is
a
great
area,
there's
great
restaurants,
great
bars
and
people.
You
know
love
to
live
and
work
there,
I
guess
ultimately,
I
would
like
to
see
a
provisional
license,
maybe
of
some
sort
or
a
trial
period.
H
I,
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
is
doable
just
to
see
if
the
new
rules
work
for
the
neighborhood,
both
residents
and
patrons
with
that
you
know,
have
maybe
some
enforcement
in
effect
saying
to
the
effect
that
maybe
on
weeknights,
the
music,
it's
cut
to
a
manageable
level
by
10:00,
maybe
on
weekends,
it's
cut
to
a
decent
level
by
midnight,
say
or
you
know,
whatever
can
be
unjust,
throwing
that
out.
As
a
you
know,
starting
point
and
I,
you
mentioned
something
about
the
security
as
well.
H
It
sounds
like
that's
being
addressed,
I
guess
that
would
be
a
concern
of
mine
as
well.
My
wife
sits
out
on
the
patio
a
lot
at
night
and
she's
heard
arguments
and
yelling
and
this
and
that
and
fights
and
we're
on
the
other
side
of
the
property,
but
we're
all
the
way
around
the
building
facing
the
other
direction
towards
downtown.
So
I
guess,
that's
all
I
have
to
say
I
just
hope
that
we
can
maybe
consider
you
know
something
that
will
work
for
everybody.
H
You
know
live
music's,
great
and
I'm,
not
opposed
to
that
I
just
hope.
It
doesn't
get
too
loud
to
drive
people
out
and
bring
in
you
know,
maybe
a
different
crowd.
That
is,
you
know,
unmanageable
or
whatever
so
I
guess.
That's
all
I
have
to
say.
I
really
appreciate
your
time
and
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
Thank.
H
H
I
My
name
is
dawn,
roger
Rennick
and
live
in
the
918
month
and
we've
been
there
for
probably
four
or
five
years
off
and
this
this
memo
there
isn't
a
restriction
on
the
noise
level.
There
is
no
restriction
mentioned
on
the
size.
These
guys
I'm
probably
going
to
make
a
lot
of
enemies
here,
but
these
guys
have
been
a
thorn
in
our
side.
They're,
not
good
neighbors
at
all
their
patrons
leave
beer
bottles
and
empty
glasses
on
our
window.
Sills!
That's
how
bad
is
so
I
don't
want
to
see
them
their
license,
getting
upgraded.
I
A
J
My
name
is
William
sharp
and
I
live
at
9:18
Lots.
Also
I'm,
not
one
of
the
people
that
emailed
in
I
have
to
say
I'd
like
going
to
club
Jaeger
the
way
it
is.
You
know,
because
they've
got
good
service
good
through
and
it's
fairly
quiet,
but
on
the
weekends
and
the
evenings.
I
can't
cut
my
windows
open
if
the
music
is
too
loud.
J
There's
been
numerous
occasions
where
there's
bottles
on
my
windows,
window
sill,
there's
emesis
on
the
sidewalk
outside
I've
found
used
condoms
by
our
dumpsters,
not
saying
it's
not
people
in
our
building
but
I'm.
Guessing
it's
not
and
it's
you
know,
there's
been
bras
on
my
windowsill
and
it's
just
really
not
good
and
and
I
think
increasing
their
licensure,
and
this
unknown
decibel
volume
or
whatever
or
security
I.
Think
it's
just
going
to
cause
more
of
an
endurance
and
decrease
property
values
and
satisfaction
for
people
living
area.
Thank.
A
You
for
your
testimony
is
there
anyone
else
here
to
speak
to
this
issue?
Is
there
anyone
from
clubhouse
ager
here,
okay,
we're
going
to
close
the
public
hearing
mr.
Wilson,
so
they
were
operating
with
a
Class
B
license
without
a
Class
B
license.
So
our
solution
is
to
just
give
them
the
Class
B
license
and
say:
let's
have
some
found
people
out
there
to
deal
with
it.
E
Yes,
madam
chair,
we
have
we
observed
that
they
were
operating
with
a
Class,
B
level
entertainment
when
they
were
licensed
as
a
c1,
which
allows
up
to
five
musicians
and
no
dance
floor's
set
up.
It's
be
set
up
more
like
a
restaurant
or
a
saloon,
but
it
was
switched
to
a
nightclub.
We
called
them
on
it.
They
applied
in
a
timely
manner,
and
we
really
haven't
had
all
that
many
complaints
to
our
office.
E
A
Okay,
I
don't
hear
it's
just
about,
sounds
I,
hear
it's
about
garbage
and
glass
and
things
being
left
over
and
their
inability
to
control
our
patrons
behavior
outside
I
mean
what
what
is
a
sound
review
going
to
do
it,
so
they
might
be
able
to
restrict
the
level
of
music.
But
what
about
all
of
these
other
issues?
We're
saying:
okay,
well,
you've
already
done
that.
Let's
reward
you
for
that
by
upgrading
your
license,
that
you
were
illegally
operated
and
in
the
first
place
and
also
I.
Think
three
people
coming
to
a
hearing
is
a
lot.
A
I
mean
we
need.
No
one.
Look
at
all
these
other
things
we
said,
and
we
get
no
one,
and
these
three
don't
exactly
look
like
big
complainers.
If
I
were
to
profile
them,
I
would
not
say
they're
like
the
kinds
of
people
who
complain
all
the
time.
So
you
really
wanted
to
move
forward
and
postpone
it.
Let
them
fix
the
music
and
then
let
them
continue
on
without
addressing
any
of
these
other
issues.
I
think
they
should
be
forced
to
address
all
these
other
issues
all
summer
before
they
apply
for
this
license
again.
E
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
have
been
at
club
Jaeger
when
the
music
has
been
taking
place
and
I
guess
I
didn't
realize
at
the
time
that
it
was
in
violation.
I
will
say
for
the
record
that
I
never
left
any
bras
on
your
windowsill,
but
I
I
do
think
the
interim
period
between
now
and
the
the
next
CDRs
meeting
is
an
excellent
opportunity
to
both
address
the
sound
and
sound
permit
issues,
as
well
as
the
the
trash
collection
outside
the
bottles
and
the
bras
and
the
glass.
Is
that
something
that
we
can
do?
Mr.
D
E
Councilmember
FRA,
that
is
exactly
our
intention
to
meet
with
them
talk
about
this,
follow
through
on
the
security
plan
that
was
outlined
by
the
first
precinct
commander
and
make
sure
it's
being
followed
and
make
sure
the
the
owner
understands
all
the
issues
that
were
brought
up
by
the
mailing
that
came
in
from
this
application.
Okay,.
D
Well,
I
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
I
do
appreciate
everyone
coming
out
here
and
taking
time
out
of
their
day
to
let
us
know
about
some
of
these
livability
concerns.
You
know,
while
North
Loop
is
a
rock
and
fun
area.
You
know
you
live
there
simultaneously
and
I
think
we
need
to
account
for
that
so
I'm
going
to
move
that
we
that
we
postpone
to
the
next
CDRs
meeting
and
directing
staff
to
work
with
club
Jaeger
in
the
interim
to
correct
some
of
these
difficulties.
So.
A
Comfortable
revised
motions
to
postpone
until
July
11th,
where
this
will
be
in
front
of
us
again,
so
anyone
who's
here
today
could
also
appear
on
the
11th
and
I
would
assume
the
applicant
would
be
here
on
the
11th
too,
and
might
hear
what
you
have
to
say
as
well,
so
on
the
motion
to
postpone
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved
on
to
item
number
5.
Mr.
Wilson
thank.
E
This
current
location
physics
previously
had
an
on
sale.
Wine
license
class
II.
They
were
known
as
Casa
lenders,
restaurants
since
1999
this
is
in
the
Standish
neighborhood
in
Ward
12.
The
capacity
will
be
60
persons
on
the
inside
16
on
an
exterior
patio.
They
will
be
a
full-service
sit
down.
Restaurant
a
public
hearing
is
required
because
this
is
an
upgrade
in
entertainment.
In
the
previous
license
holder,
we
notified
all
property
owners
and
residents
within
600
feet
of
the
premises.
We
also
notified
the
westerly
Rail
Business
Association,
the
Standish
erics
and
Neighborhood
Association.
E
A
There
any
questions
for
mr.
Wilson
seeing
none
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
on
a
new
business
license
for
Sister
Sledge
coffee
and
wine
bar
at
37,
46
48,
just
48,
23rd,
Avenue,
South
I,
see
the
sisters
are
here
so
I
will
invite
you
up
to
talk
about
the
cool
thing,
you're
doing
nine
people
saying
they're
in
favor.
That
also
is
probably
a
record
yeah.
K
Address
or
our
current
businesses,
you
can
do
either
way:
oh
okay,
I'm
Judy
mark
Meyer
and
we've
in
Richfield
at
614,
East,
68th,
Street
and
I'm
Maggie
Morris
Brundtland
I'm
at
five
six,
four,
five,
twenty
second
Avenue
in
Minneapolis
I'm,
Katie,
Morris
box
and
I'm
at
109,
o1
Humboldt
Avenue
in
Bloomington,
we've
been
in
business
for
twenty
years.
We
do
pride
ourselves
of
being
a
good
neighbor,
especially
listening
to
other
problems.
K
So
we
really
do
appreciate
when
people
come
to
us
with
concerns,
because
we
we
like
to
participate,
the
neighborhood
we
like
to
support
our
neighborhood.
We
love
the
current
clientele
that
we
have
and
we
look
forward
to
meeting
all
the
new
people.
So
just
so
you
know
so.
Emily
wieners
are
concerned
about
parking
and
sound.
So
a
music
is
not
going
to
be
a
nightly
deal
excellia
once
its
way
from
one
thing
and
primarily
acoustic
I.
K
Don't
want
to
be
trapped
with
loud
music
in
my
own
points
and
we're
actually
waiting
to
hear
back
from
the
Providence
Providence
sighs
about,
because
there
was
at
one
point,
agreement
between
the
dance
studio
that
there
was
some
parking
in
the
evenings.
We're
going
to
paper
to
negotiate
some
evening
parking
and
maybe
6:00
a.m.
to
maybe
eight,
maybe
before
staff
starts
showing
up.
So
it
seems,
reduce
any
issues
about
parking
on
the
street
right.
K
A
N
A
K
A
K
K
Hydrating,
because
we
don't
want
that,
and
we
really
truly
want
to
be
a
local
wine
bar
a
comfortable
place
where
people
are
coming
to
you
don't
have
to
be
dressed
up.
We
love
stories.
We
love
people
coming
in
and
sharing
their
stories.
So
we
really
intend
to
be
that
neighborhood
wine
bar
with
write
some
nice
brews
on
tap,
but
women.
If
there's
any
concern
about
our
experience
with
liquor,
I
always
a
bartender
for
ten
years
and
a
cocktail
waitress
for
seven
cocktails
for
Scott
and
the.
K
And
watching
and
right
and
we
are
hiring
we're
hiring.
We
have
Donna
Sanders
who's,
our
consultant,
who
has
recommended
an
outfit
that
will
come
actually
give
not
only
us,
but
our
staff,
some
really
good
training,
liquor,
trainings
and
we
do
have
a
menu
at
the
main
is
going
to
expand.
It
will
be
like
small
plates
and
simple
simple.
J
K
A
A
D
E
Thank
you
verify.
Today,
you
will
be
considering
the
revocation
of
a
more
repair
garage
license.
It's
currently
valid
for
hayford
Auto
LLC
at
thirty
four
or
three
Cedar
Avenue
and
may
30th
of
this
year.
The
Minnesota
Department
of
Revenue
sent
us
a
notice
of
license,
revocation
for
Det.
Regarding
non-payment
of
taxes,
we
notified
hayford
auto
of
today's
hearing
by
a
notice.
E
Based
on
this
review.
We
contacted
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Revenue
this
morning
and
there
has
not
been
a
clearance
made
or
attempt
to
clear
this.
This
debt
also
visits
to
the
site
this
week,
find
that
paper
Auto
LLC
is
currently
closed,
so
my
recommendation
would
be
that
we
revoke
this
license
based
on
the
state
of
Minnesota
notice
of
license,
revocation.
D
Thank
You
mr.
Wilson
any
further
questions
for
staff
on
this
item.
Seeing
none
I'm
going
to
open
up
open
the
public
hearing
and
very
quickly
States
say
that
we're
very
limited
in
terms
of
the
testimony
that
we
can
hear
today
is
all
solely
and
exclusively
based
on
the
testimony
that
is
already
before
the
records.
So
you
may
not
testify
to
anything
that
is
outside
of
the
record.
That
being
said,
is
there
anybody
either
the
owner
or
their
representative
here
today
is
the
owner
and
order.
D
Their
representative
here
today
is
the
owner
and
or
their
representative
here
today,
seeing
they're
not
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
I
will
move
approval
of
the
staff
recommendation
on
this
on
this
item.
Any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
approval,
please
say
aye
hi,
all
those
opposed
say.
No.
That
item
passes
madam
chair.
A
P
D
A
That
you
know
I
just
want
to
say:
I
mean
I
was
telling
stathis
earlier
I
just
thought.
This
report
was
amazing
and
this
work
is
very,
very
impressive
and
I
understand.
He
has
very
much
the
reason
why
this
is
happening.
So
if
you
would
just
pass
on
what
a
great
we
wanted
to
have
this
discuss,
because
we
thought
it
was
such
a
great
thing.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
I
understand,
you're
working
at
it
as
well
great.
P
I'll
try
to
do
Daniel
justice
good
afternoon
council
members,
I'm
Myles
Mercer
from
the
business
development
group
at
CPD,
I'm
filling
in
for
Daniel
denia,
who
was
unfortunately
sick.
Today,
Daniel
leads
the
city's
business
technical
assistance
program
known
as
DTaP
I
credit
him
with
improving
and
innovating
the
program
over
the
past
several
years.
In
short,
the
b-tat
program
funds,
nonprofit
community-based
organizations
to
provide
business,
consulting
services
to
Minneapolis
entrepreneurs
and
small
businesses,
for
example.
This
assistance
can
help
with
business
plans,
financial
projections,
navigating
regulations,
real
estate
and
diverse
supplier,
certifications
and
procurement.
P
About
once
a
year,
we
release
a
request
for
proposals
to
fund
the
support
organizations.
This
afternoon
we
are
asking
you
to
authorize
grants
agreements
with
14
nonprofit
organizations
for
the
2017
funding
round.
For
this
RFP
we
received
18
proposals
requesting
a
total
over
1.1
million
dollars.
We
have
half
a
million
dollars
available
which
made
the
evaluation
process
competitive
of
the
14
proposals.
That
staff
recommends.
Eight
are
currently
in
the
program
and
six
are
new.
As
a
group,
these
organizations
reflect
a
range
of
demographic
and
geographic
communities
around
the
city
staff.
P
Believe
these
recommendations
will
help
be
tapped
to
me.
It's
maintain
its
strong
performance,
helping
entrepreneurs,
particularly
those
from
disadvantaged
backgrounds
in
2016
DTaP,
serve
413
businesses,
of
which
48
were
new
businesses.
Technical
assistance
supported
the
creation
of
281
new
jobs
and
the
retention
of
over
1600
87
percent
of
the
recipients
were
of
low
or
extremely
low
income
and
77
percent
were
entrepreneurs
of
color
77%
to
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
the
program.
P
Last
year,
CPD
staff
and
the
city's
innovation
team
collaborated
on
an
evaluation
of
the
business
outcomes
for
beat
app
recipients
and
administration
of
the
program.
If
the
program
evaluation
found
that
beat
app
primarily
serves
minority-owned
businesses
and
that,
given
the
current
and
historical
disparities
in
business,
ownership
and
success
for
these
groups
beat
app
does
appear
to
have
a
meaningful
positive
impact
in
supporting
business
development
and
success.
P
Finally,
under
Daniels
leadership,
the
B
tap
program
is
continuously
innovating
with
new
programming
under
what
we
call
B
tap
plus.
We
have
created
a
series
of
in-person
and
online
trainings
on
navigating
city
processes,
support
programs
and
contracting
with
the
city
over
100
people
from
D
tap
providers,
city
staff
and
businesses
have
attended
in-person
trainings
and
the
online
trainings
are
on
the
city's
website.
P
Last
year
we
launched
a
training
for
small
real
estate
developers,
known
as
D
tap
a
program
created
to
diversify
the
pool
of
real
estate
developers
working
in
and
with
the
city.
First
cohort
had
36
participants
and
we
are
taking
applications
for
an
upcoming
training
this
summer.
Also,
last
year
we
launched
the
cooperative
Technical
Assistance
Program
C,
tap
training.
Eight
groups
24
participants
interested
in
forming
cooperative
businesses.
P
A
Are
there
any
questions
for
staff?
It
doesn't
sound
as
exciting
when
you
report
it,
but
the
report
is
actually
really
interesting
in
terms
of
the
work
that
they've
done.
The
organizations
that
have
been
doing
this
work
and
the
outcomes
and
so
I,
don't
know
if
anyone
else
had
the
opportunity
to
read
the
report.
I've
been
pitching
it
the
past
couple
days,
council,
member
Quincy,
thank.
O
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
would
like
to
share
councilmember
Goodman
compliments
to
the
work
that's
being
done
and
how
it's
being
presented.
It's
you
outlined
all
the
kinds
of
businesses
that
are
being
served
through
the
program
which
is
terrific.
It's
part
of
the
economic
development
objectives.
It
also
lays
the
groundwork,
I
think
for
further
continued
efforts
with
the
city
and
those
small
businesses
when
we're
talking
about
you
know,
earn
sick
and
saved
models
what's
going
to
be
happening
with
minimum
wage.
This
is
how
we've
established
relationships
that
are
ongoing
with
those
small
businesses.
O
So
it's
a
terrific
extension
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
help
support
that
I,
also
like
to
compliment
the
opportunities
to
outreach
to
the
nonprofit's
who
are
associated
with
delivering
these
services,
we're
actually
leveraging
with
the
small
investment
from
the
city
to
help
these
organizations
we're
leveraging
lots
of
human
capital
and
donated
time
for
these
small
business
associations
who
are
dedicated
to
serving
the
same
purpose
many
times
they're
members
many
times,
they're
just
their
neighbors.
So
it's
really
great
when
the
city
can
play
the
significant
role
so
I.
O
A
Either
comments
or
questions
with
regard
to
the
report,
if
not
thank
you
for
being
here
today,
I'd
like
to
move
approval
of
authorizing
the
grant
agreements
for
up
to
a
half
a
million
dollars
to
the
organizations
listed
below
to
continue
funding
for
our
business
technical
assistance
program.
Are
there
further
comments
or
questions
on
that
motion?
Is
that
you
counsel
on
the
right?
Please
got
some
right.
Oh
thank.
G
A
Q
Thank
You
chair
Goodman
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Angie
skilled
in
with
the
residential
finance
team
in
the
housing
division.
During
the
May
16th
committee,
meeting
staff
is
directed
to
bring
forth
of
proposals
for
special
gap
funding
on
a
one-time
basis
for
affordable
housing
projects
currently
caught
on
the
city's
development
pipeline.
Q
Success
leads
the
proposal
before
you
today
to
create
an
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
Contingency
pool
does
just
that
it
will
help
address.
The
urgent
community
need
to
get
additional,
affordable
rental
units
online
as
quickly
as
possible.
During
this
time
of
market
uncertainty
and
limited
resources,
staff
proposes
to
reserve
two
million
dollars
in
affordable
housing.
Trust
fund
budget
for
the
creation
of
the
contingency
pool
to
be
awarded
on
a
pipeline
basis
to
be
eligible
projects
must
have
an
existing
housing
a
word
from
a
competitive
City
source.
Q
These
pool
resources
will
allow
rewards
Auvergne
above
the
current
fiscal
maximum
limits
in
order
to
close
a
final
project
gap.
I'd
like
to
emphasize
that
readiness
to
proceed
will
be
the
driving
criteria
for
this
program.
These
awards
will
be
sized
based
on
underwriting
analysis
and
are
intended
to
help
close
final
project
gaps
in
partnership
with
owners
and
other
deferred
loan
funders
projects
must
demonstrate
the
ability
to
close
in
2018.
Q
Our
analysis
suggests
that
most
awards
will
be
in
the
five
to
ten
thousand
dollar
unit
range,
but
in
no
case
would
an
award
exceed
an
additional
$15,000
per
unit.
The
tux
Farms
total
award
cap
of
15%
of
total
development
costs
would
also
remain
in
place,
except,
as
is
already
exempted
for
smaller
scale
preservation
projects.
Q
Further
priority
will
be
for
projects
that
support
specific
city
goals,
as
outlined
in
the
committee's
request
for
committee
action
staff
will
recommend
words
to
this
committee
on
an
as-needed
basis
and
all
Awards
will
be
contingent
upon
meeting
both
the
Poole
criteria
and
on
all
other
sources
being
approved
and
committed,
based
on
our
analysis
of
the
existing
pipeline
staff
anticipates
four
to
six
projects
could
be
recommended,
this
fall
or
next
spring,
with
between
200
and
300
units
of
housing.
It's
not
brief.
Work
will
do
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Are.
A
There
any
questions
for
Angie
on
her
report
on
item
number
24,
okay,
seeing
none
thank
you
for
the
report.
I
will
move
approval
of
the
staff
recommendation
and
just
say
that
this
is
an
unusual
situation
with
regard
to
tax
credit
pricing
right
now
and
I
am
supportive
of
the
city
attempting
to
close
gap.
I
will
say,
though
we
only
should
be
closing
gaps
to
get
to
close
period.
We're
not
going
to
be
able
to
close
multi-million
dollar
gaps,
we're
not
going
front.
A
We
will
not
be
responsible,
probably
for
moving
any
project
off
the
dime,
because
some
of
them
have
such
large
gaps,
but
if
we
can
come
to
the
table
with
some
others,
we
might
be
able
to
get
from
here
to
there
and
that
this
is
one-time
money.
So
everyone
should
be
thinking
about
living
within
their
means
as
it
pertains
to
the
amount
they
could
seek
from
the
trust
fund
going
forward
as
well.
That
will
have
to
be
planned
for
going
forward
on
the
motion
to
approve
on
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed.
A
R
You,
madam
chair
committee,
members
council
member
good
afternoon,
just
a
few
words
to
remind
us
where
we've
been
and
why
we're
here
as
I
think
you
all
know.
The
city
of
Minneapolis
has
a
long-held
vision
for
Lake
and
Nicollet
that
we
that
includes
reopening
Nicollet
Avenue
across
Lake
streets
and
the
Midtown
Greenway
and
redeveloping
the
property
on
both
sides
of
the
reopened
Street.
There
is
strong
policy
support
and
support
from
the
community
for
this
effort.
R
The
city
has
been
working
over
the
past
few
years
to
advance
this
effort
and
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
some
of
you,
council
members,
bender,
Cano,
Glidden,
Goodman,
Mike
or
Sami,
and
their
staffs
and
staff
from
CPD
City,
Attorney's,
Office
public
works,
finance
communications
and
the
mayor's
office
of
all
been
working
on
this
project.
A
little
political
excuse
me
policy
history
in
October
2009,
the
City
Council
adopted
the
Minneapolis
plan
for
sustainable
growth,
which
included
the
strategic
direction
to
reopen
Nicollet
at
Lake
Street
in
June
2013.
R
We
will
continue
to
work
cooperatively
with
Kmart
on
the
possibility
of
relocating
the
store
and
also
working
with
community
leaders,
keeping
them
informed
of
developments
in
our
ongoing
effort
to
reopen
Nicollet.
In
addition
to
the
primary
goal
of
reopening
Nicollet
Avenue
to
reconnect
neighborhoods
and
re-establish
the
street
grid.
This
work
will
set
the
stage
for
new
developments
of
10
acres
of
land
now
home
to
single-story
buildings
and
surface
parking
lots.
R
The
city's
adopted
plans
call
for
mixed-use
multi-story
developments
and
that
development
has
the
potential
to
bring
new
jobs,
quality
housing
for
a
variety
of
income
levels
and
retail
options
to
the
area
as
the
development
takes
shape.
City
staff
will
be
working
with
the
surrounding
community
to
incorporate
their
vision
into
the
goals
and
objectives
for
the
site
staff
recommends,
but
the
City
Council
authorized
staff
to
exercise
the
city's
option
to
purchase
10
Westlake
Street
and
that
the
remaining
7.2
million
dollars
of
purchase,
price
plus
$100,000
towards
closing
costs,
be
paid
from
the
streetcar
value
capture
fund.
A
There
any
questions
for
mr.
Frank
on
item
number
25
I
would
take
having
no
questions
as
meaning.
No
one
has
any
questions.
It
means
you've
done
your
work
in
advance,
and
so
people
are
fairly
briefed
on
this
issue.
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
I
know
there
are
a
couple
of
amendments,
so
we'll
start
with
councilmember
Ike.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
do
have
an
amendment
that
just
makes
clear
sort
of
our
current
practice,
but
memorializes
the
intent
and
basically
reads
at
such
time
that
the
future
city
controls
the
property
in
question.
The
city
will
make
the
remainder
of
this
parcel
not
needed
for
the
Nicollet
Avenue
right
away
available
for
private
development.
At
that
time,
the
city
will
reimburse
the
streetcar
value
capture
fund
with
the
land,
sale,
proceeds
and
again,
I'll
note
that
this
is
something
we
typically
do,
but
I
just
want
to
memorialize
the
intent
there.
A
O
You
madam
chair
I,
just
like
to
acknowledge
and
thank
councilmember
Wright
for
bringing
this
forward
and
for
doing
the
work
of
talking
about
this
important
issue.
It's
unusual
that
we
have
the
value
capture
as
an
instrument
available
to
us,
but
this
reminds
me
of
something
that
happened
not
long
ago
with
this
council
when
the
purchase
of
property
was
made,
and
we
had
to
do
a
lot
of
forensic
accounting
within
the
finance
department
to
find
out
where
this
money
came
from
and
what
funds
should
be
restored
with
the
proceeds.
N
Thank
you
know
I'm
chair,
and
these
are
two
staff
directions,
so
is
it
appropriate
to
move
them
right
now?
Okay,
wonderful,
so
I
will
present
to
staff
directions
that
are
connected
to
this
conversation.
The
first
one
is
directing
see
ped
regulatory
services
in
the
finance
department
to
work
with
to
work
together
and
report
back
to
the
cvrs
committee
no
later
than
July
25th.
N
To
brief
us
on
a
set
of
recommendations
on
is
that
the
city
is
currently
supporting
our
renter
community
as
well
as
ways
that
we
can
support
our
community
in
the
future,
and
this
is
to
address
the
immediate
and
ongoing
displacement
of
low-income
residents
and
people
of
color
tenants.
So
this
report
should
include
but
not
be
limited
to
a
proposed
budget
allocation
that
can
be
issued
out
before
the
end
of
this
year
through
an
RFP
process
for
outside
groups
working
to
defend
and
protect
tenants
in
Minneapolis.
N
So
I
would
like
to
speak
to
each
one
of
these,
and
would
you
like
me
to
speak
to
this
now
and
then?
Okay,
so
for
this
particular
one?
Many
of
us
have
gotten
emails
and
calls
and
have
had
multiple
meetings
with
people
throughout
our
city
about
the
pressing
need
that
renters
and
tenants
feel
when
they
are
when
the
rent
is
going
up
and
they're
being
displaced
when
they're,
organizing
to
improve
their
living
conditions
and
and
then
landlords
seem
to
be
retaliating
against
them.
N
So
for
a
while
now
many
of
us
have
had
these
meetings
with
city
staff
and
have
been
working
to
find
solutions
to
figure
out
ways
to
better
support
our
community
on
that
front.
So
this
specific
staff
direction
is
to
help
us
have
a
public
conversation
at
this
committee
meeting
about
that
work,
some
of
it,
which
has
happened,
sort
of
one-on-one.
N
I
know
that
I've
talked
to
Andrea
Brennan
and
know
shuckman
about
these
ideas,
and
they
are
actually
being
really
proactive
at
identifying
ways
that
we
can
allocate
funding
to
address
this
issue,
and
so
this
is
codifying
a
date
where
we
can
hear
this
report
where
we
can
hear
these
ideas
and
presentations
and
try
to
speed
this
along
to
really
address
the
immediate
and
the
ongoing
displacement.
We're
seeing
this
happening
in
our
city,
specifically
around
the
impact
on
low-income
residents
and
people
of
color.
N
A
M
You
man
over
there,
so
you
know
I,
think
the
best
action
actually
addresses
a
lot
of
work
that
health
number,
Glidden
and
I
have
been
working
on,
along
with
many
other
council
members,
including
the
chair,
we're
organizing
a
study
session
on
housing
which
will
take
place
in
early
August
with
staff,
so
I
have
no
issue
with
the
underlying
kind
of
intent
of
this
I.
Just
I.
M
Think
I
would
ask,
though,
have
there
been
other
develop
projects
that
have
come
through
this
committee
that
have
a
gentrification
plan
and
I
guess
part
of
my
question:
is
this
there's
a
lot
of
uncertainty
in
this
project
so
at
this
time
we're
just
approving
the
purchase
of
the
land?
Of
course,
we
still
have
a
lot
of
uncertainty
in
this
and
really
no
real
idea
when
this
project
would
happen.
A
N
Madam
chair
ii,
staff
direction
has
been
handed
out
and
I'll
just
read:
it
really
quickly
directing
cpad
renovation
team
and
the
finance
and
property
services
department
to
work
together
and
report
back
to
the
CDRs
committee
no
later
than
August
22nd,
with
a
set
of
recommended
strategies
that
may
include
the
not
be
limited
limited
to
policies
adopted
planning
reports
and
budget
resources
that
can
help
us
reduce
and
prevent
the
displacement
of
low-income
residents.
Renters
immigrant
owned
businesses
and
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color
and
indigenous
people.
N
N
The
third
bullet
point
is
business
development
tools
that
the
city
can
consider,
such
as
a
commercial
land,
trust
and
cultural
corridor
support
work
and
then
the
fourth
bullet
point
incentives
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
can
offer
to
retain
and
protect
our
cultural,
economic
and
racial
diversity
in
the
Nicollet,
Avenue
and
Lake
Street
corridor
and
I
would
like
to
speak
on
this
briefly.
Awesome
avocado,
thank
you.
N
So
we
are
in
a
special
position
to
actually
put
forward
a
lot
of
proactive
tools,
proactive
thinking
to
address
what
we
might
see
in
the
future,
a
significant
change
in
the
demographics
diversity.
So
this
particular
step
direction
is
to
help
our
city
staff
members
work
with
us,
as
council
members
on
this
committee,
to
think
about
the
ways
that
we
can
start
addressing
issues
of
displacement
through
a
very
planful
and
resourced
way.
N
That
can
really
support
our
community
residents,
who
are
feeling
the
pressures
of
increasing
rents
and
potentially
a
lot
of
folks
who
might
be
speculating
on
the
improvements
that
are
going
to
happen
in
this
area,
to
start
helping
the
people
who
will
be
impacted
by
those
potential
improvements
to
retain
their
place
in
our
city.
And
so
this
is
not
supposed
to
be
a
silver
bullet
to
help
address
all
the
issues
that
our
communities
are
going
through.
N
This
is
really
to
have
our
city
staff
members
come
forward
and
help
us
understand
the
process
that
we
will
need
to
take
to
ensure
that
this
redevelopment
plan
starts
to
talk
about
an
address
gentrification
and
in
an
integrated
way
address
that
through
the
planning
so
helping
us
to
figure
out
what
that
timeline
would
be.
What
are
the
players
that
we
would
need
to
involve
to
have
that
discussion?
N
Ensuring
that
our
comprehensive
plan
again
is
aligning
with
the
redevelopment
plan
at
Lake
and
Nicollet
and
lifting
up
some
of
the
business
development
tools
that
our
innovation
team
is
already
working
on,
that
our
C
ped
staff
are
already
working
on
to
ensure
that
we,
as
a
council,
are
all
walking
in
the
same
direction.
With
this
conversation,
so
I'd
be
happy
to
take
questions
or
call.
The
question
on
this
are.
A
Further
comments
or
questions
seeing
none
on
the
motion
by
councilmember
Connell,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed
that
item
is
approved.
Are
there
any
further
amendments
with
regard
to
the
staff
report?
Seeing
none
are
there
comment
with
regard
to
the
staff
court.
I
know:
compliments
been
sitting
here
a
long
time
and
just
invite
either
a
compliment
or
senator
gladden
to
speak.
If
they
so
choose,
you
don't
have
to
you.
L
Know
the
only
thing
I'll
just
say
is:
is
this
does
have
a
long
history
and
you
know
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
what
do
I
put
in
a
message
to
my
constituents,
because
it
really
it's
been
a
slow
roll
and
it's
about
trying
to
identify,
what's
the
right
place
for
the
public,
the
role
for
the
public
to
play
into
the
future
and
being
able
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
public
ownership
into
the
future.
And
so
you
know
this
isn't
like
a
big
exciting
moment.
L
Even
though
it's
a
major
decision
for
the
city,
I'm
glad
that
we
are
taking
this
step,
I
do
think
it
is
the
right
step.
It
doesn't
come
with
the
flash
in
the
bang
that
comes
with
we're
about
to
start
a
project,
and
so
that
is
a
hard
thing
to
talk
about.
I
want
to
thank
my
former
colleague,
councilmember
Liljegren,
who
really
partnered
with
former
Mayor
RT
Rybak
on
kind
of
starting
this
vision
work
of
what
does
it
mean
to
insert
the
public
back
into
space
that
really
should
be
public
space
and
think
about?
L
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
agree
with
council.
Vice
president
she's
outlined
part
of
the
history
and
part
of
the
benefits.
All
in
one
brief
paragraph,
a
really
tremendous
opportunity,
just
like
to
point
out
that
this
area
is
going
to
be
the
recipient
and
the
reason
we're
investing
in
this
is
not
just
about
the
Kmart
site.
O
We
have
to
expand
our
view
from
that
one
block
area
and
look
at
what's
happening
with
the
orange
line,
what
happened
with
Lake
Street
and
that
redevelopment
and
the
Greenway
and
the
lake
Street
access
project,
all
things
that
were
on
our
bonding
list
that
tell
us
vice
president
shepherded
through
the
legislature
and
received
in
this
past
session.
So
this
is
an
important
step,
something
that's
a
much
broader
area
to
consider
the
impacts
of
for
the
city
going
into
the
distant
future,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
them.
M
M
This
has
been
a
project
that
has
been
very
involved
with
community
conversations
and
the
context
keeps
changing
ten
years
ago
when
this
project
first
began.
The
context
of
these
neighborhoods
was
very
different
than
it
is
today
and
we're
doing
our
best
to
imagine
what
it
will
be
like
when
in
the
future
likely
when
maybe
none
of
us
are
even
on
the
council
anymore.
This
project
is
fully
realized
and
so
I
think
we're
doing
our
best
to
make
sure
that
the
community
is
reassured
that
when
and
if
that
happens,
they'll
be
fully
at
the
table.
M
That
is
the
assurance
that
council,
member
glyn
and
I
have
given
over
and
over
and
I,
would
imagine
that
any
policymaker
in
our
shoes
would
carry
forward
that
commitment
in
the
future.
But
that
has
been
very
important
to
us
to
not
make
assumptions
about
what
the
road
will
look
like
about
what
the
buildings
and
that
could
go
back
here
would
look
like
that.
M
That
would
be
fully
imagined
and
involved
with
whatever
context
is
as
part
of
the
city
at
the
time
that
this
project
for
it
so
I,
think
that's
an
important
point
to
me
and
thank
you,
I
feel
that
also
the
comments
of
you
know.
This
project
is
important
for
the
whole
city,
I,
think
and
really
righting
the
wrongs
of
the
past.
The
council
took
almost
40
years
ago
now
and
and
we're
doing
our
best
to
work
together
to
get
it
done.
I
think
on
a.
