Madam.
D
D
F
You,
madam
president,
there's
an
amendment
in
front
of
you.
This
is
with
regard
to
resourcing
in
the
bond
issuance.
This
is
local
host
approval
that
was
supposed
to
designate
a
public
hearing.
How
to
publish
hearing
there's
a
little
bit
of
confusion
regarding
as
this
item
is.
This
amendment
is
simply
straightening
out
the
legal
terminology,
so
we
can
move
forward
with
the
bond
issuance
that
we've
already
voted
on,
so
I
will
move
the
change
that
is
in
front
of
you.
Customer.
A
A
D
A
G
Madam
President
the
health,
environmental
community
engagement
committees,
bringing
forward
five
items
for
consideration
today.
The
first
is
passage
of
an
ordinance
amending
Title
10
related
to
short-term
food
permits,
public
markets
in
municipal
markets.
The
second
item
is
authorizing
an
increase
in
a
contract
and
with
the
family
partnership.
The
third
item
is
authorizing
an
agreement
with
health
partners
to
provide
insurance
payments
for
services
billed
through
our
school-based
clinics.
G
The
fourth
item
is:
accepting
a
grant
from
the
Mississippi
watershed
management
organization
to
assist
with
erosion,
control
and
enforcement
for
2017,
and
the
fifth
item
is
passage
of
a
resolution
establishing
green
zones
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
I'm,
going
to
move
on
all
items,
but
I
want
to
pull
item
number
five
off
because
I
know
they
can't
remember
right,
cast
some
amendments.
Okay,.
A
D
D
A
G
H
Think
you
met
a
president
Thank
You
chair
Gordon,
yes
I,
if
it's
the
appropriate
format
to
who,
as
a
substitute,
that's
how
they
will
proceed
and
then,
by
way
of
brief
comments,
I'll
say
the
changes
I
think
are
maintained.
The
focus
from
the
Health
Department
in
there
intent
to
have
limited
resources
and
staff
time
to
focus
and
proceed
as
they
contemplate
in
one
area.
H
The
southern:
what's
down
called
the
southern
green
zone,
but
to
not
to
leave
out
the
northern
side
of
town
who's
already
doing
a
lot
of
work
that
could
probably
contemplated
as
green
zone
activity,
but
isn't
as
such
and
so
I
feel.
If
we
can
do
some
preliminary
aggregation
of
these
disparate
efforts
with
an
initial
focus
on
the
river,
we
can
proceed
to
create
a
platform
for
potential
later
green
zone
activities
and
by
that
time
we'll
have
learned
a
lot
from
what
they
do
in
the
south
southern
side.
H
C
You,
madam
chair,
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
mention.
I
think
this
is
a
really
excellent
program
and
I'm
glad
it
went
forward.
I
know
when
we
voted
to
take
to
put
resources
to
it
during
the
budget
conversation
that
it
actually
failed
and
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
the
support
is
growing,
but
I
have
some
concern
about
the
amount
of
staff
time
that
we
have
going
to
it
versus
the
amount
of
resources
that
we've
put
to
this.
C
So
our
staff
person,
who
is
now
kind
of
the
remaining
person
in
the
sustainability
office,
is
spending
about
75
percent
of
her
time
on
this.
So
I
would
encourage
us
also
to
think
forward,
as
we
move
with
this
about
the
level
of
commitment
that
we're
making
to
this
program
and
just
making
sure
that
we're
being
supportive
of
our
staff
and
that
we
actually
have
the
resources
for
it
to
be
successful.
C
This
is
a
program
that
we've
committed
to
do
a
lot
of
significant
community
engagement
around
which
I
think
is
really
important,
but
also
time-sensitive
our
time
intensive
and
staff
intensive,
so
I'm,
supportive
and
I
hope
that
we
can
find
you
know.
I
know:
there's
some
grant
resources,
maybe
council
member
created
as
part
of
that,
but
that
we're
really
you
know
if
we're
making
us
a
priority,
that
we
actually
put
the
resources
to
do
so.
Councilmember.
G
Wanted
to
note
a
little
bit
the
significance
of
doing
this.
It's
actually
been
a
long
time
in
coming.
This
is
something
that
we
actually
painstakingly
got
incorporated
into
our
climate
action
plan
as
an
initiative
to
move
forward
on.
It's
also
a
tool
that
we
can
really
be
using
to
address
some
of
the
historical
harm
that's
been
done
in
certain
parts
of
our
city
and
certain
communities
within
our
city,
its
innovative
there.
G
It
has
been
employed
and
used
in
other
cities,
particularly
Los
Angeles,
but
other
cities
that
we
looked
to
and
it's
been
kind
of
a
challenging
step.
Each
step
along
the
way
and
I
have
to
really
acknowledge
an
intensive
work
of
the
community
group
that
brought
us
to
this
point
of
those
people
who
are
on
the
committee
saw
the
presentations
all
the
research
that
went
into
it.
We
got
to
look
at
various
maps
measuring
what
are
the
issues
involved
in
terms
of
environmental
harm.
G
Until
later,
we're
going
to
try
to
see
if
we
can
rally
our
resources
and
work
on
I
really
want
to
thank
the
sustainability
office
and
particularly
Kelly
for
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
this
managing
stakeholders,
workgroup
that
the
council
asked
her
to
put
together
to
handle
this.
They
met
repeatedly
and
I
understand
that
it
was
actually
some
very
difficult
work
that
that
group
did
to
come
to
consensus
and
and
and
to
pull
together
as
a
group
and
and
they
did-
and
they
brought
us
I-
think
a
great
report.
G
H
Of
course,
that
can't
be
said
enough
in
terms
of
the
resource
thing,
we're
very
sensitive
to
that
issues
that
customer
vendor
raised
and
that's
why
we're
making
sure
that
the
the
initial
impetus
from
the
department
with
their
limited
resources
is
in
fact
focused
initially
in
one
area,
and
the
work
that
would
be
done
in
the
northern
sector
would
be
more
preliminary
coordinating
work,
which
probably
would
at
this
early
conversation.
It
would
be
more
of
an
NCR
led
thing.
So
by
all
means
we
do
not
want
to
dilute
resources.
D
D
D
A
D
D
D
B
C
D
A
E
You,
madam
president,
today
we

We
are

with
our
passage
and
agreement
today
of
the
International
compost.
H
A
F
You,
madam
president,
I
think
it's
really
interesting
that
no
one
made
a
kind
of
speech
or
comment
about
item
number
13,
which
is
a
monumental
issue.
This
is
Target
Corporation
donating
two
million
dollars
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
revitalize
PV
Plaza.
This
is
a
perfect
example
of
a
private
public
partnership
where
a
local
corporation
has
stepped
up
to
invest
in
the
reconstruction
and
infrastructure
of
a
public
space.
F
It
should
not
go
on
recognize
that
the
downtown
council,
green
Minneapolis,
their
team
and
the
private
sector
have
worked
endlessly
to
get
a
contribution
like
this,
which,
in
the
end
right
right
now
amounts
to
33%
of
the
total
project
budget,
along
with
the
2
million
dollars.
We
have
currently
from
the
state
of
Minnesota,
so
I
didn't
want
to
allow
this
moment
to
go
forward.
I
hadn't
seen
very
much
publicity
about
it.
H
Well,
in
the
spirit
of
recognition,
I
think
councilmember
Goodman
should
be
recognized
for
the
fact
that
she's
never
left
the
purpose
and
importance
of
the
PV
Plaza
space.
The
project
has
had
its
challenges,
but
never
ever
leaving
of
the
notion
that
we
should
not
take
second
best
for
such
a
central
feature
of
our
downtown
environment
and
for
that
community,
which
is
a
very
residential
community.
When
you
get
south
of
Nicollet,
we
would
not
be
having
such
generosity
come
forward.
D
D
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
president
of
ways
and
means
brings
forward
ten
items
for
consideration
this
morning.
First,
two
items
are
legal
settlements.
Item
number
three
is
the
bid
for
exterior
light
replacement
project
phase
one
at
the
convention
center
and
four
and
five
are
accepting
a
grant
from
the
Kresge
Foundation
for
the
creative
City
making
Minneapolis
program,
as
well
as
gift
acceptance
for
the
March
2017
donations.
We
also
have
item
number
six,
which
is
the
rollover
of
2016
funds
to
the
2017
general
appropriations
of
the
budget.
Number
seven
is
the
consolidated
office
building
request
for
proposals.
I
We
also
have
a
contract
amendment
with
secure
net
for
additional
scope
of
work
services,
as
well
as
a
contract
amendment
with
gartner
for
enterprise
governance
program
for
information
technology
systems.
The
final
item
is
the
agreement
with
the
2018
Superbowl
50
to
host
committee
for
additional
services
provided
by
the
city
I'd
like
to
move
all
ten
items
for
approval.
Customer.
G
It
was
a
little
bit
unclear
from
the
report,
then.
Is
this
the
final
and
complete
action
of
all
the
rollover
funds,
or
was
this
just
looking
at
making
sure
that
some
departments
had
some
of
the
rollover
funds
remaining
so
that
they
could
finish
up
projects
from
2016
and
will
we
be
considering
additional
rollover
funds
in
the
future?
This.
I
Is
the
anticipated
general
appropriation
rollover?
These
are
existing
criteria
from
the
2016
budget,
from
departments
who
wanted
to
continue
a
number
of
different
projects.
They
were
in
process.
So
this
is
that
appropriation.
It
still
does
provide
for
opportunities
for
other
departments
to
bring
forward
additional
items
that
could
be
made
available
if
you're
talking
about
the
one
I
think
you're
talking
about.
We
can
still
work
on
that
item,
but
it's
this
is
the
full
complete
list
and
should
close
out
all
Department
available
funds
from
the
16
budget,
and
so.
I
B
D
D
B
D
D
C
You,
madam
chair,
we
have
four
items
from
zoning
and
planning
the
cycle.
Item
number
one
is
granting
an
appeal
for
a
yard
variance
for
an
attached
garage,
and
that
includes
the
new
findings
that
staff
was
directed
to
prepare
from
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
which
is
in
your
packet
item
number
two
is
approving
a
rezoning
for
Wellington
management
at
212,
James,
Avenue,
north
and
Irving
Avenue
north
to
add
a
transitional
parking
overlay
district
and
to
add
that,
to
both
addresses
and
to
rezone.
C
To
our
five
item
number
three
is
a
rezoning
at
32,
41,
Cedar
Avenue
from
r2
to
r3
to
be
legally
established,
