and

public
hearings.
First
point
listed
8th
Street
southeast
project
is
from
Central
Avenue
Northeast
to
15th,
Avenue
Southeast
and
that's
a
resurfacing
project
good
morning.
Good.
B
C
Morning
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
Mike
Kennedy
from
the
public
works
here
on
the
first
public
hearing
about
8th
Street
southeast
resurfacing
project
on
January
27th,
the
City
Council
designated
duplication
streets
and
improvements
possibly
made
in
the
2017
street
resurfacing
program.
This
project
was
one
of
those.
The
8th,
Street
southeast
resurfacing
project
is,
as
shown
on.
The
diagram
here
is
from
Central
Avenue
north
east
to
15th
Avenue
Northeast
project
is
anticipated,
be
resurfaced
in
the
fall
of
2017
proposed
resurfacing.
C
Special
assessments
were
determined
by
applying
the
2017
uniform
assessment
rates
of
65
cents
per
square
foot
for
non
residential
properties
in
22
cents
per
square
foot
for
residential
properties.
We
had
a
community
meeting
on
April
24th
to
introduce
the
project
to
the
neighbors
and
the
mask
questions.
There
is
a
related
project
on
8th,
Street,
South
East,
a
bike
way
project
that
is
being
completed
after
this
is
resurfacing.
The
that
plan
and
project
has
its
own
community
outreach
program
that
has
been
underway
as
well.
C
So
today
our
recommendation
is
passage
of
a
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
in
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
270
thousand
400
$12.93.
For
this
project
and
passage
of
a
resolution
requesting
the
board
of
estimate,
Taxation
authorized
the
city's
insurance
and
sale
assessment
bonds
in
the
appropriate
month
for
the
project.
That's
my
presentation.
I
could
take
questions
if
you'd,
like
any
questions.
D
E
C
D
Okay,
yeah
I
mean
typically
in
the
past,
I've
seen
it
so
that
we've
segregated
each
project
so
that
we
know
you
know
exactly
the
cost
of
each
project.
But
for
the
for
the
next
two
of
items,
we
don't
see
that
we
just
see
the
total
assessment
rate
and
I
just
wouldn't
like
to
see
that
just
because,
typically
speaking,
I'm
constituents
residents
want
to
see
that
just
to
see
you
know
what
percentage
they're
paying
relative
to
the
total
cost.
D
C
D
A
Any
further
discussion
or
questions,
CN,
n
I
will
open
the
public
hearing.
We
do
have
people
who
signed
in
I'll
take
them
in
order
begin
with
Karen
Cook.
Please
come
forward
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Oh
please
come
to
the
podium,
so
it
can
be
recorded
for
the
public
record.
So.
F
F
We
do
have
much
issue
with
the
proposed
removal
of
parking
on
one
side
of
the
street,
so
what
I
am
here
asking
is:
where
do
we
get
heard
about
those
concerns?
We
have
written
letters
to
take
a
pray.
We
have
talked
to
people
at
the
mercy
home
Neighborhood
Association.
We
actually
filed
a
grievance.
What
we're
hearing
is,
if
a
done
deal,
sorry
too
late
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
there
is
an
avenue
to
express
our
concerns.
F
G
A
H
My
name
is
Karen
Ericson
I
live
at
333,
eighth
Street,
south
east
of
st.
Anthony
condominiums
I
have
the
same
concerns
as
the
previous
speaker.
I've
tried
to
go
back
to
my
culture
person
and
other
people
and
I
don't
eat
either.
Don't
get
responses
or
don't
get
responses
that
make
any
sense.
There
are
two
other
bike
paths
there's
on
University
and
4th
Street.
H
Those
are
one-way
streets
on
Fifth
Street,
those
total
Street,
it's
dedicated
to
bikes
I,
do
not
see
why
a
street
needs
to
be
added
for
the
bikers
and,
frankly,
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
assessment,
except
for.
If
I
can't
use
the
entire
street
I
think
the
bicycle
is
should
be
said
for
part
of
it
there's
a
little
Menace
limited
number
of
bikers.
That
would
use
that
Street.
They
will
not
use
it
in
the
winter.
They
will
not
use
it
at
night.
H
They
will
not
use
it
in
inclement
weather,
and
yet
the
people
eighth
Street,
will
not
be
able
to
park
on
their
Street.
They'll
have
to
park
blocks
away
if
they
can
even
find
a
place
to
park,
they
have
currently
building
a
five-story
apartment.
Building
a
nice
Avenue
in
East
Street,
as
well
as
about
20
townhouses,
that
have
no
dedicated
parking
I'm,
assuming
some
of
those
people
will
have
cars
that
will
be
added
to
an
already
crowded
neighborhood.
H
All
the
side
streets
are
park
with
cars
already,
there's
no
place
to
add
those
a
street
Park
people
that
can
no
longer
park
there.
I
walk
the
neighborhood
practically
every
day.
I
was
there
for
26
years.
It's
a
challenging
place
to
park,
as
it
is,
there's
no
reason
to
take
away
half
of
the
parking.
Thank.
A
E
Live
on
HD
I'm,
only
speaking
foreign
speaking
only
for
myself
and
my
wife,
but
usually
when
you
have
a
special
assessment,
you're
getting
a
benefit
from
it
like
a
project
or
something
but
I
leave
our
street
services
the
city.
Ever
since
the
bridge
went
out
ten
years
ago,
the
traffic
has
increased
on
H,
Street,
exponentially
and
I.
Think
half
the
world
at
least
be
during
4:00
and
6:00
p.m.
is
discovered.
E
It's
a
great
shortcut
through
the
neighborhood
and
off
of
the
major
streets
of
the
freeways
and
all
I
see
that
we're
doing
is
increasing
the
benefit
for
whoever
is
using
this
to
get
through.
I
want
that
I.
Don't
object
to
fixing
the
street
that
certainly
need
to
do
that,
but
I
want
the
assessment
to
be
fairly
distributed
and
I'm,
not
sure
that
we're
getting
a
lot
of
benefit
by
increasing
the
convenience
for
these
people
coming
through
the
neighborhood.
E
We
also
are
have
major
developments
on
the
street
I'm,
not
sure
that
the
people
who
are
the
single-family
home
owners
here
are
paying
forth
benefits
for
people
who
are
going
to
moving
into
new
developments
down
the
block
who
are
telling
us
that
our
single
family
home
is
outdated
and
not
that
it's
outdated.
But
that's
a
thing
of
the
past
that
we
should
expect
to
stay
in
the
single-family
home
and
we
keep
hearing
different
things
about
the
street.
E
E
You
know,
I
want
the
street
to
be
good,
I,
don't
want
to
keep
hitting
potholes
and
there
are
some
really
bad
ones,
especially
on
the
other
side
of
35w,
but
I
want
the
tax
to
be
equitably
distributed
and
I.
Think
we
should
acknowledge
that
the
state
promised
to
fix
the
street
back
when
the
bridge
fell
in
and
I,
don't
think
they've
done
any
major
overhauls.
Since
thank
you
thank.
A
G
My
name
is
Meredith
done
and
I
live
right
on
a
street
736
or
that
month
southeast,
even
though
I'm
an
epic
conglomeration
of
town
homes,
I've
actually
lived
right
on
extreme
and
I
am
very
concerned
about
the
parking
there.
We
have
no
parking
the
way
of
theirs
and
we
have
new
businesses
coming
in
on
Hennepin
Avenue
that
are
being
very
successful,
which
is
great
like
the
bad
waitress,
but
there's
all
kinds
of
other
retail
stores
states
there
that
they're
getting
ready
to
fill
and
you're
going
to
take
away.
G
I
was
just
speaking
to
turn
and
thinking
about
the
people
that
came
and
took
care
of
me
after
my
last
surgery,
not
not
knowing
where
these
people
would
possibly
Park,
because
I
am
right.
On
Hennepin
and
eighth
you
can't
park
on
can
open
the
next
cross
street
disposer
locks
up.
It's
not
one
block
up
it's
two
loads
up
and
to
think
about
where
these
people
that
came
into
my
home
to
help
me
would
be
Parker
knows
where
the
Parker
or
people
visiting
me.
B
A
Good
yeah
and
then
just
to
note
there
was
definitely
some
process.
Questions
input
lay
out
review,
in
addition
to
a
historical
question
regarding
the
state
offering
to
fix
that
road.
That
per
the
bridge
collapse.
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
record
of
that
and
then
I
think
the
last
testimony
about
the
pedestrian
mix
and
how
we
treat
pedestrians
and
people
with
other
issues.
Mr.
C
C
Regarding
other
questions
about
the
bike
lanes
and
pedestrians,
I
will
defer
to
Nathan
Koster
from
our
Planning
Group
who's
been
heading
up
the
separate
process.
A
one
thing
to
note
is
that
none
of
these
assessments
are
going
toward
the
bike.
Lane.
Project
itself
is
just
for
the
road
resource.
Well,.
I
Good
morning,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is:
Nathan
Koster
supervisor
transportation,
planner
in
Public,
Works
transportation,
planning
and
programming
division
I'm
here
to
address
the
questions
related
to
the
bikeway
project.
This
is
an
opportunity
driven
project
that
our
division
looks
at
in
coordination
with
other
resurfacing
projects
per
bicycle
master
plan.
We
look
at
the
specific
routes
that
overlap
with
the
resurfacing
projects,
to
look
at
them
as
opportunities
to
implement
our
city's
bicycle
master
plan.
We
coordinated
with
both
Ward
3
office,
as
well
as
the
Marcy
homes,
Neighborhood
Association.
I
As
a
part
of
this
independent
project,
we
coordinated
for
community
meetings
over
the
course
of
September
through
January.
This
included
introducing
the
project
as
well
as
working
closely
with
the
Neighborhood
Association
to
address
a
lot
of
the
data
collection
concerns
they
initially
had,
as
well
as
issues
related
to
pedestrian
safety,
that
they
brought
up
sight
lines
and
other
questions
related
to
light
wave
routing
in
the
neighborhood.
I
We
were
able
to
address
a
lot
of
those
questions
that
they
had
through
a
number
of
these
meetings,
as
well
as
collecting
additional
data
related
to
the
parking
we
went
out
there
to
collect
additional
data,
both
on
8th
Street
while
school
is
in
session,
as
well
as
on
adjacent
side
streets.
As
a
part
of
this
process,
we
worked
with
Marcie
Holmes
Neighborhood
Association,
develop
an
outreach
that
included
social
media
posts,
as
well
as
other
mailings
and
fliers
to
provide
information
about
the
project,
as
well
as
a
specific
project
website.
I
The
Neighborhood
Association
did
also
create
an
online
surveys.
Listening
approximately
200
responses
about
the
project
together,
further
input,
we
work
closely
with
residents
that
brought
forward
concerns,
as
well
as
the
Neighborhood
Association
related
to
the
project.
As
a
part
of
this,
we
did
look
at
parking
mitigation
along
the
corridor,
as
well
as
addressing
additional
concerns
from
the
neighborhood
associations.
I
D
I
Are
currently
working
with
Ward
3
to
follow
up
on
some
of
these
questions,
we
did
get
support
from
the
Neighborhood
Association.
They
do
understand,
there's
impact,
but
based
upon
our
recommendation
or
the
library
project,
we
did
get
strong
support
from
the
neighborhood
association
coordinating
with
their
master
plan,
as
well
as
our
mayor
bicycle
master
plan.
As
far
as
implementing
the
bike
way,
and
so.
D
I
B
Chair,
if
I
could
add
here,
mr.
chair
and
councilmember
yang
for
the
residents
who
gave
testimony
today,
our
staff
can
take
their
name
and
specific
information
and
we
would
be
happy
to
have
one-on-one
conversations
about
their
continued
concerns
and
Nathan
Causton
can
meet
you
out
in
the
hallway
and
make
sure
that
we
have
a
way
to
contact
you
and
follow
up.
Thank.
A
D
A
J
You
mr.
chair
I,
just
want
to
note
I
just
want
to
appreciate
the
amount
of
time
and
care
that
staff
is
putting
into
doing
community
engagement
around
each
of
these
projects.
We
do
have
an
adopted
bike
master
plan
that
we're
now
implementing
as
we
invest
in
our
streets
and
I.
Think
it's
really
important
that
we
build
out
that
network
as
we've
committed
to,
but
I
also
see
how
much
time
and
energy
staff
is
putting
into
the
many
community
meetings
we're
having
for
each
project.
So
I'm.
J
A
C
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
again
Mike
Kennedy
from
Public
Works,
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
the
South
Bay
Area
residential,
resurfacing
program
or
project
on
January
27th,
the
City,
Council
designated
location
streets
and
improvements
proposed.
We
made
on
this
entire
surfacing
Pro
resurfacing
program,
South
Bay
Area
is
founded
as
shown
on
the
diagram.
Here.
C
The
project
streets
are
anticipated
resurfaced
late
summer
of
2017.
Again
again,
the
special
assessments
were,
you
were
determined
by
applying
the
2017
uniform
assessment
rates,
as
has
described
earlier.
We
did
have
a
community
meeting
on
April
26th
to
host
folks
with
questions
at
this
time.
Then
our
recommendation
is
passage
of
resolution
ordering
the
city
engineer
proceed
and
do
the
work
and
adopt
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
eight
hundred.
C
D
You
mr.
chair
I
asked
this
question
little
bit
earlier
and
I.
Don't
know
if
staff
has
it
at
this
point,
but
I
mean
I
can
take
it
later,
I,
just
the
issue
of
the
total
distance
of
the
whole
project
and
also
just
the
total
cost
of
the
project
well
to
death.
The
assessment
and
I
can
get
that
later.
Okay,.
A
K
Good
morning
my
name
is
Alyssa
Pierre
and
I
live
at
1045
Washburn
Avenue,
North
I'm,
here
I've
lived
in
North
Minneapolis
for
just
under
20
years
now,
and
we
bought
our
house
on
Washburn's
about
five
years
ago.
Almost
five
years
ago
after
the
tornado
struck
and
we've
been
restoring
it
ever
since
I'm
I'm
just
here,
because
I
know
you
guys
done
in
charge
of
property
taxes
or
save
it
up,
our
taxable
values
almost
doubled
in
the
time
we
bought
it
and
we're
still
restoring
all
the
damage
that
was
done.
K
But
when
I
got
the
assessment
in
the
mail
for
a
resurfacing
that'll.
Last
ten
years,
our
assessments
over
ten
thousand
dollars,
which
equates
to
a
over
twenty
five
percent
annual
increase
over
five
years
and
our
taxes
just
for
asphalt
and
I,
was
just
wondering
what
kind
of
I
don't
know.
It
just
seems
a
little
onerous
I
like
makeup
a
lot
better
things.
K
I'd
rather,
invest
$10,000
and
then
swing
that'll
need
to
get
replaced
in
another
ten
years
and
in
addition,
we're
still
obviously
you
know-
I
mean
it's
like
much
of
our
neighbors
restoring
and
repairing
a
lot
of
the
damage
from
the
tornado
itself.
I
know
we
had
a
lot
of
sidewalks
crack
is
here
because
I
think
all
the
roads
finally
have
rotted
out
from
the
trees
that
were
torn
down.
K
So
we
already
have
that
in
addition
to
this,
but
we
haven't
gotten
character
yet,
but
it's
on
my
list
of
things
I
have
to
check
out
so
I
was
coming
in,
because
I
wasn't
able
to
make
last
week's
meeting
to
ask
things
beforehand
and
I'm
not
sure
the
search
normally
I
do
buildings,
I,
don't
deal
with
streets
or
painting,
so
I'm
just
wondering
what
kind
of
options
we
have
as
homeowners
other
than
just
spreading
it
out
over
years,
because
this
seems
a
little
I
know.
I
assume
that
it's
like
in
my
naive
opinion.
K
It's
special
substance,
therefore
fancy
things
like
increase
like
that
are
more
effective
lighting,
you're
planted
boulevards
or
changing
the
sidewalks,
or
something,
and
not
something,
as
mundane
as
resurfacing
streets,
to
be
exactly
the
same
way.
They
are
now
with
nothing.
No
real
added
benefit,
I
mean,
in
my
opinion,
so
that
does
fine
here
today
is
kind
of
wondering
what
to
do,
because
it's
kind
of
sticker
shock.
For
me,
it's
probably
the
price
of
my
last
vehicle,
which
lasted
longer
than
10
years.
So
anyway,
that's
that's
one
here.
Oh
thank.
A
C
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
yes
sticker
shock
I
can
believe
that
I'm
going
to
guess
that
it's
probably
a
corner
lot
or
there's
some
something
about
that.
That's
causing
it
to
be
that
high!
That's
that's
not
typical.
If
she
would
like
to
talk
to
this
is
a
term
said
afterwards,
maybe
we
can
get
the
exact
details
of
why
it
is.
A
B
L
Mr.
chair
committee,
members,
I'm
Clara
Schmidt
Gonzalez,
director
of
compliance
and
traffic
control
for
regulatory
services
and
we're
asking
for
consideration
today
for
some
ordinance
changes
related
to
limited
time
parking
we're
asking
to
update
that
language.
It
has
not
kept
current
with
how
we
use
limited
time
parking
these
days.
The
existing
language
refers
to
hours
that
no
longer
cover
the
range
of
limited
time
zone
usage.
In
addition,
the
definition
and
the
map
of
a
congested
zone
has
not
kept
current
with
city
growth.
L
After
discussion
with
Public
Works
in
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
it
was
determined
that
the
simplest
solution
for
this
would
be
to
remove
the
definition
of
congested
zone
and
the
congested
zone
map
and
simply
direct
drivers
to
obey
the
posted
signage
for
parking
limitation.
So
that's
what
the
language
is
about
and
I
would
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions
that
anyone
might
have
any.
A
Questions
for
the
staff
presentation,
seeing
none
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
anyone
signed
in
for
this
item
in
which
to
come
forward.
Anyone
wish
to
come
forward
seeing
none
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
thank
staff
for
the
work.
I
think
this
is
an
appropriate
adjustment
that
really
cleans
up
how
we
are
able
to
regulate
and
I
believe
our
regulatory
division
partners
are
very
happy
for
this
adjustment
as
well.
A
B
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
at
our
last
meeting,
we
brought
to
you
compost,
Awareness
Week
month
of
May,
is
a
very
busy
month
for
those
of
us
who
work
in
public
works.
At
this
meeting,
we
would
like
to
ask
for
your
passage
of
a
resolution
declaring
May
7th
through
18th
as
drinking
water
week.
To
present
this
information.
Jeanette
McCully
is
here
she's
the
water
services,
business
manager
with
water
distribution
and
treatment
services.
Thank.
M
M
We
are
in
the
process
of
finalizing
the
exact
date,
but
this
is
a
schedule
of
our
events
and
the
months
that
they
are
scheduled
to
occur
occur.
As
you
can
see,
May
is
drinking
water
week,
May
7th
through
the
13th.
We
have
written
articles
for
the
newsletters
minneapolis
matters
and
also
for
inclusion
in
your
council
member
newsletters.
M
If
you
so
choose,
we
have
social
media
posts
and
we
will
also
be
advertising
that
week
with
a
series
of
posters
in
our
public
buildings
in
June,
we
have
planned
a
community
service
event
with
a
focus
on
source
water
protection
that
will
be
occurring
at
the
North
Mississippi
Regional
Park
we'll
be
picking
up
trash
along
the
river
as
well
as
planting
vegetation,
and
you
will
receive
an
invitation
to
participate
in
that
event,
if
you're
interested
in
doing
so
July
of
2017,
we
will
be
lot
launching
our
commemorative
book.
That's
an
anniversary
edition.
M
Also
in
September,
the
director
of
water
treatment
and
distribution,
Services
Division
of
Public
Works
will
be
presenting
at
the
Minnesota
AWA
conference
about
the
history
of
the
Minnesota
Water
Works.
Actually,
the
history
where
we
are
presently
and
what
we
have
planned
for
the
future
and
then
last
but
not
least,
in
November
2017.
M
We
are
hosting
an
exhibit
at
the
Hennepin
County
gallery
located
across
from
the
park
cafe
in
the
in
the
tunnel
between
City
Hall
and
Hanson
County
Building.
That
gallery
will
be
an
educational
display
again
highlighting
our
past
our
present
and
what
we
believe
the
future
holds
for
for
the
utility
and
will
also
provide
our
residents
with
the
opportunity
to
see
some
of
our
underground
infrastructure.
That's
normally
not
visible
to
the
public,
so
we're
very
excited
about
that
opportunity.
M
D
D
Let
people
know
that
our
tap
water
is
probably
the
best
in
the
country
and
that
people
are
safe,
drinking
tap
water
from
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
and
you
know,
I
I
can
just
give
an
example.
You
know
just
typical
Hmong
family
of
let's
say
know.
Six
to
ten
I
mean
it's
been
probably
about
a
thousand
dollars
on
drinking
water
every
single
year.
You
know,
and
essentially
they're
paying
probably
that
close
to
I
don't
know
I
want
to
say
almost
five
hundred
thousand
million
times
more
than
what
they
would
have
paid.
D
Is
it
I
mean
with
regards
to
Minneapolis
tap
water
being
the
best
makaan
streaming?
That's
why
one
of
the
main
reasons
why
many
help
has
thrived
you
know
in
these
past
150
years
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
to
highlight
that,
and
you
know,
when
I
look
at
the
list
of
activities
when
the
one
thing
I
don't
see
and
again
I'm,
not
a
PR
person
for
Public
Works,
but
it'd
be
great
to
have
an
open
house
so
that
people
can
actually
go
and
look
at
the
water
treatment
facility.
D
Let
people
know
and
if
not
I
mean
certainly
I
mean
my
office
is
going
to
try
to
at
least
go
to
one
tour.
You
know
for
folks,
but
yeah
I
think
it's
really
really
important
for
us
to
brag
a
little
bit.
Let
people
know
that
we
have
amazing
water
and
that
people
can,
you
know,
drink
it
safely
and
that
you
know
it's
actually
good
I
mean
you
know,
we've
done
taste
tests.
D
You
know
at
these
water
treatment
facility
plant
tours
in
which
people
can't
even
tell
the
difference
between
our
tap
water,
which
is
maybe
about
one
one-hundredth
of
the
cost
of
like
let's
say
you
know
any
number
of
those
brand-name
waters,
and
so
I
mean
we
gotta.
Let
people
know
so.
Thank
you
and
I
really
I
support
this
completely
well,.
A
Councilmember
yang,
you
are
hereby
deputized
as
a
water
ambassador
I
was
that
enthusiastic
and
rousing
appreciation
and
celebration
of
our
water
and
yeah
we've
had
different
campaigns,
but
I.
Think
the
heart
of
your
point
is
contact
specific
community
specific
tailoring
offer
in
you
know,
language,
etc.
A
I
think
that's
that's
a
way
to
go
context
specific
in
Northeast,
we've
had
one
of
the
creative
ways
to
get
the
water
message
out
was
to
create
a
bar
dedicated
to
water
and,
yes,
the
most
beloved
water
choice
was
our
water,
particularly
when
you
compared
some
of
the
other
municipalities,
so
different
ways
to
celebrate
a
different
way
to
get
the
message
out
and
I
think
every
community
might
have
a
clever
spin
on
that
and
director
hutchinson.
Mr.
B
Chair
councilmember
yang,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
comments.
I
think.
Not
only
is
this
water
week
coming
up,
but
this
is
really
a
water
year.
The
subsequent
enniaa,
which
I've
been
cracked
saying
saying
network,
is
an
opportunity
to
expand
our
outreach
efforts
and
our
education
efforts
and
we're
happy
to
take
some
of
your
ideas
and
flush
them
out
so
that
we
are
more
targeted
and
we're
not
only
building
the
confidence
in
our
great
drinking
water,
but
potentially
also
making
a
difference
in
people's
lives.
B
A
And
I
suppose,
as
a
follow-up,
when
you
think
about
expectations
around
water,
you
know
you
travel
around
the
United
States,
there's
a
very
low
expectation.
You
go
around
the
world
and
you
know
you're
told
to
boil
it
when
you're
in
certain
places
and
so
there's
I
think
a
for
people
who
are
you,
know,
born
and
raised
here
and
had
these
sort
of
we
have
good
water
gospel,
pounded
into
them.
There's
just
sort
of
a
built-in
bias
against
public
water,
and
so
I
think
we
we
run
against
that
current
as
well.
All
pun
intended.
J
J
I
really
appreciate
that
I
also
think
it's
really
important,
because
we
not
all,
but
some
folks
take
for
granted
that
we
get
fresh,
clean
water
delivered
to
our
homes
and
businesses,
and
that
takes
a
lot
of
folks
and
it
takes
infrastructure
being
maintained
and,
and
so
I
couldn't
agree
more-
that
we
need
to
do
more
to
share
and
make
sure
that
everyone
knows
that
they
can
drink
our
water,
but
that
you
know
so
many
people.
So
much
goes
into
that
and
we
need
to
get
those
folks
into
a
good
at
our
working
condition.
Thanks
thank.
A
You
any
further
conversation.
Well,
you
know,
for
those
who
say,
Minneapolis
sometimes
doesn't
take
care
of
the
basics.
This
is
really
taking
care
of
the
basics
of
the
most
fundamental,
even
element
the
level
so
well
done.
Water
Division,
you
know
further
commentary.
We
will
I
think
this
is
a
receiving
file.
No
I
received
I
was
just
an
announcement.
It's
a
resolution.
Oh
right,
okay!
Well,
we
have
a
resolution
before
us.
We
better
approve
it,
make
it
official,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
the
centi
name.
That
is
now
hereby
dissolved,
okay
and
we're
adjourned.
Thank
you.
