Mr.
chair
I'm
just
wanted
to
add
a
comment
for
number
10
if
I
may
help,
please,
with
regards
to
item
10,
adding
the
42nd
Avenue
reconstruction
projects
and
putting
it
on
the
pedestrian
lighting
core
project.
Mr.
chair
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
you
know
when
you
look
at
42nd.
Avenue
know
what
I
really
support
at
what
we've
done
here,
but
I
also
just
want
to
mention
that
didn't
we
had
a
project
in
Ward
5
that
is
still
currently
going
on.
26
Avenue,
north
and
I.
C
Look
at
I
look
at
the
criteria
for
42nd,
Avenue,
north
and
I
wish.
We
would
have
applied
some
criteria
for
26th
Avenue
north
that
to
have
that
included
as
well,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
then
be
nice.
Just
that
see
that
and
in
their
future,
but
certainly
I'm
supportive
of
item
number
10.
Thank.
A
You
for
that
comment,
and
we
are
actually
doing
just
that-
we
felt
for
second
could
be
sort
of
our
test
case
to
figure
out
how
we
could
adjust
our
policy
moving
forward
and
I
think
we
now
have
mechanics
of
how
we
do
that
and
no
other
eligible
highly
eligible
of
quarters
like
26
and,
of
course,
26
north
and
18th
northeaster
someday
going
to
be
one,
and
so
that
would
be
the
standard
that
we
were
looking
at.
Perhaps
director
would
add
to
that.
Mr.
D
Chair
council,
member
union
members
of
the
committee,
the
chair
is
correct
that
we
assess
42nd
Avenue
as
a
pilot
initially,
and
what
we've
done
is
refer
back
to
the
policy
and
used
the
language
in
the
policy
that
states
very
clearly
that
corridors
may
be
added
under
certain
conditions
and
prepared
a
very
robust
analysis
of
that
corridor,
and
we
really
are
using
it
as
a
test
case.
As
other
corridors
come
forward,
we
will
perform
the
same
analysis
on
those
corridor
to
those
corridors
to
determine
their
eligibility.
For
addition,.
D
Chair
councilmember
yang,
we
had
not
intended
on
looking
back
on
previous
projects
because
what
afforded
the
ability
on
42nd
evidence
that
the
Condit
was
already
in
the
in
the
corridor.
That
being
said,
I
think
we
would
be
open
to
if
conduit
exists.
Looking
back
in
the
corridors
that
may
have
been
eligible
in
the
past
and
I'd
be
happy
to
follow
up
with
you,
along
with
staff.
On
your
concerns,
I
appreciate
your
recognition
at
42nd.

A
D
E
Good
morning
morning,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
might
get
it
am.
The
director
of
transportation,
maintenance,
repair,
Public
Works
each
winter
season.
Public
Works
enforces
the
city's
sidewalks
shoveling
ordinance
property
owners
who
had
snow
and
ice
cream
moved
by
the
city
and
were
billed
for
the
work,
had
the
option
of
paying
their
bill
or
have
the
cost
added
to
their
property
taxes
as
an
assessment
for
those
choosing
the
latter.
This
action
is
to
proceed
with
the
process
for
collecting
those
assessments.
E
An
assessment
letter
was
sent
to
property
owners
which
include
advising
them
to
contact
public
works,
sidewalk
inspections
in
writing
if
they
had
an
issue
with
their
an
assessment,
so
I
ork
inspections
then
contacted
the
property
owner
to
discuss
their
concerns
regarding
the
pending
assessment,
and
if
the
resolution
could
not
be
worked
out,
the
property
owner
was
advised
that
the
next
step
would
be
to
appear
before
an
administrative
hearing
officer.
The
assessments
proposed
in
this
action
include
the
resolutions
of
all
discussions
with
property
owners
and
the
determinations
made
by
the
hearing
officer.
E
There
were
four
people
who
came
to
the
hearing
and
contested.
Actually
the
hearing
officer
did
change.
Three
of
them
and
the
numbers
in
our
action
today
reflect
that
the
property
is
on
the
list
to
be
assessed.
Jaded
dated
June
26
2017
is
on
file
of
City
Engineer
special
assessment
office
at
the
snow
and
ice
removal.
Work
done
by
the
city
were
sent
to
build
for
the
costed
with
a
removal,
and
there
were
they
were
notified
that
a
special
assessment
for
the
removal
charge
plus
interest
would
be
added
to
the
real
estate
taxes.
E
If
the
charges
were
not
paid
through
the
normal
building
process,
you
must
be
assessed
as
special
assessment
principal
is
the
cost
of
the
removal
work.
The
total
principal
amount
of
the
proposed
assessment
on
the
list
of
properties
to
be
assessed
is
twenty
one
thousand
thirty,
six
dollars
and
fourteen
cents.
The
assessments
would
be
collected
on
their
entirety
and
the
twenty
eight
teen
real
estate
tax
statements
with
interest.
E
Rate
of
Li
two
point:
eight
percent,
just
as
a
point
of
interest
there
were
about
about
one
third
of
the
people
paid
their
bills,
upfront,
and
so
this
represents
about
2/3
of
the
work
orders
that
the
bills
for
the
work
orders
that
people
chose
to
have
assessed
on
the
property
taxes.
So
we
recommend
passage
of
a
resolution
to
adopt
the
assessments
in
the
total
amount
of
twenty
one
thousand
thirty,
six
thousand
fourteen
cents,
loveliest
levy
the
assessments,
adopt
the
assessment
role
and
transmit
certified
copies
of
the
assessment
role
to
the
head
upon
County
Auditor.
A
Questions
for
the
presentation,
I'm,
seeing
none
I
have
an
open
the
public
hearing.
Does
anyone
wish
to
come
forward
and
make
comment
this
item?
Anyone
wish
to
come
forward,
see
none
I
will
close
the
public
hearing.
I
will
move
this
item
and
note
that
this
might
not
be
the
topic,
that's
top
of
mine
at
the
moment
in
the
middle
of
summer,
but
it's
good
that
we're
laying
out
a
game
plan
now,
because
this
is
a
very
important
way.
A
We
keep
our
bus,
that's
accessible,
our
walkways
accessible,
it's
a
big
part
of
how
our
citizens
move
around.
So
thank
you
for
the
game
plan
and
I
will
move
this
item
home,
favor,
say
aye
OMP
name
that
carries,
will
now
go
to
item
2,
which
is
the
public
hearing
for
Essex
Street
southeast
of
sanitary
sewer
project
assessments,
director
hutchinson.
D
G
The
primary
assessment
rate
is
three
hundred
and
forty
seven
dollars
and
eighty
four
cents
per
foot
and
the
secondary
rate
for
corner
Lots
and
properties
with
alternate
access
was
adjusted
to
one
hundred
and
seventy
three
dollars.
Ninety
two
cents.
We
sent
letters
to
the
owners
of
the
six
parcels
receiving
the
assessment
and
we
reached
out
personally
to
all
of
the
property
owners.
Just
this
morning,
we
received
an
objection
from
the
owner
of
2618,
Essex,
Street,
South
East,
and
we're
working
to
understand
the
nature
of
that
objection.
A
F
Good
morning
my
name
is
Josh
mathe
I'm,
the
owner
of
GV
group
in
the
owner
of
2618,
as
well
as
26
24
and
26
28,
so
I
apologize
I
would
have
got
my
email
out
sooner,
but
the
letters
went
to
the
wrong
address
for
all
three
of
those
properties.
So
thankfully
a
city
engineer
gave
me
call
last
week
and
we
had
a
couple
conversations
and
I
was
able
to
make
it
today.
F
So
in
my
email,
though,
the
objection
I
had
was
to
the
price
of
264
Kelly
just
explained
to
me
the
breakdown
of
that
we
had
gotten
a
bid
last
year
when
we
were
looking
to
do
it
privately
running
down.
The
line
on
Essex
for
a
hundred
ten
thousand,
so
I
know
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
the
breakdown
is
for
the
actual
line,
so
it
doesn't
necessarily
see
if
out
of
line
as
I
had
thought,
based
on
the
limited
information
that
I
got
within
days
before
join
up
here
and
send
an
email
to
warning.
F
I
do
have
an
objection,
however,
and
I
talked
with
Jeremy
briefly
about
this
and
kind
of
he
advised
me
to
come
here.
I'll
continue
to
kind
of
write,
letters
and
communication
as
needed,
but
for
26
24
and
26
28.
We
are
planning
to
combine
those
properties
and
do
another
apartment
where
you
have
a
meeting
with
the
Prospect
Park
neighborhood
group
scheduled
for
August
3rd,
and
then
we
plan
to
go
into
the
PDR
process
and
continue
on
with
that
building
for
September
of
2018
completion
date.
As
such,
we
have
access
on
2618
to
our
site.
F
Excuse
me
on
26
28,
the
corner
property
to
the
sewer
line
on
27th,
so
I,
don't
I'm
not
in
support
I
object
to
having
the
additional
cost
to
have
a
secondary
sewer
access.
I
don't
need
the
flexibility
we're
going
to
have
it
well
build
a
building
and
we'll
and
we'll
just
put
in
our
line
to
connect
to
27
I.
Don't
see
any
reason
to
add
the
additional
cost
to
go
all
the
way
past
26
18
and
then
continues
at
27th.
A
G
G
D
Chair
I
think
I
would
like
to
have
a
bit
more
time
with
this
property
owner
to
understand
the
nature
of
his
objections,
also
to
be
sure
that
we
have
the
correct
addresses
and
we
can
communicate
with
you
as
efficiently
as
though
I
heard
several
different
things
in
your
testimony
today
and
I
do
think.
It
bears
a
bit
more
a
discussion
about
exactly
where
your
concerns
are
and
how
we
can
communicate
and
work
through
those
with
you.
H
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
so
I'd
like
to
move
to
continue
this
or
hold
it
in
committee.
So
there's
opportunity
for
more
discussions
and
I
also
just
wanted
to
note
that
I
this,
this
area
of
the
city
is
old.
Industrial
area
that
wasn't
built
out
for
residential
I
believe
that
it's
in
the
best
interests
of
the
city
to
build
out
an
effective
sewer
system,
we're
seeing
more
density
being
built
here
right
along
Essex.
H
This
is
right
near
the
University
of
Minnesota,
so
I
also
have
a
real
interest
in
making
sure
we
do
it
right,
not
just
for
the
next
project
that's
coming
down,
but
so
that
we
make
sure
that
we
have
the
infrastructure
in
place.
We
need
for
the
future
long
term,
development
of
the
city,
so
I
think
it's
really
important.
We
think
carefully
about
that.
H
We
don't
just
want
to
get
into
some
old
thing,
because
we
know
it's
going
to
work
for
this
development
in
this
next
project,
but
think
about
what
might
be
coming
on
Essex
both
sides
of
the
street
over
the
long
term
and
make
sure
we've
got
the
infrastructure
there.
So
with
the
next
people,
don't
have
the
same
kind
of
problem,
a
lot.
How
do
I
connect
to
the
sewer
liner
one
doesn't
exist,
so
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
and
then
also
move
to
I.
H
A
D
A
So
we
will
allow
I,
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
postpone
action
to
be
resuming
at
the
next
of
public
works
committee.
All
in
favor
of
that
continuance
say:
aye
I
sent
a
name;
okay
that
settles
that
matter.
For
now,
and
now
we
go
to
item
three
on
the
public
hearing
scheduled
and
that's
the
regulation
of
small
cell
wireless
facilities
on
cydia
on
infrastructure,
ordinance,
amendment
fee
resolution
policy
document
and
colocation
agreement
correct
mr.
D
B
Change
today
is
is
reflective
of
state
law
change
that
is
coming
forward
or
has
come
forward,
I
should
say
in
the
2017
legislative
session.
There
are
a
number
of
parameters
related
to
that.
Those
statutes
that
they
became
effective
immediately
upon
adoption
of
that
legislation
which
occurred
in
May
31
of
2017.
B
B
Small
cells
are
permitted
as
they
used
in
the
in
the
right
away
under
state
law,
with
some
conditions
related
to
historical
and
residential
property
areas.
The
city
still
continues
some
ability
to
regulate
in
charge
fees
and
to
prohibit
them,
but
based
on
some,
some
minor
limitations,
as
laid
out
in
the
state
laws
such
as
a
reasonable
health
safety
and
welfare
exclusive
use,
is
no
longer
allowed
on
the
city
infrastructure,
so
we
will
allow
others
on
their
co-locating
has
been
added
by
state
law
with
a
90-day
approval
process,
and
that
is
why
work.
B
One
reason
why
we're
here
today,
likewise
the
time
of
timeline
for
approving
permits
has
been
set
by
state
laws
is
90
days
and
the
state
law
has
also
enacted
specific
fees
under
that
a
lot
of
that
law.
So
today
we
are
bringing
forward
four
changes
to
our
current
policies
and
and
bringing
them
forward.
So
first
is
the
changes
to
the
our
chapter.
451
ordinances
and
those
changes
are
documented
in
the
in
the
documents
that's
attached.
Second,
is
a
resolution
of
proposed
fee
changes
in
accordance
with
its
state
law
change?
B
The
third
is
approval
of
some
right
away
attachment
policy.
We
did
have
a
policy
before
it
was
limited
to
pole
attachments
and
in
this
case
we've
brought
in
that
definition
in
occurrence,
with
state
law
to
deal
with
right
away
as
well
the
global
right
away,
attachment
policy,
and
then
the
last
item
is
the
new
colocation
agreement
for
small
cell
facilities.
So
with
that,
mr.
chair,
those
are
my
summary
comments
and
forth
any
feedback
on
the
public
hearing.
Many.
A
Questions
per
the
presentation,
seeing
none
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
public
hearing
for
item
number
three
I
wish
to
come
forward
and
then
wish
to
come
forward,
and
we
find
in
I
will
close
the
public

I'll
note
that
these
were
legislative
actions
that
we
did
not
necessarily
seek.
We
certainly
would
be
biased
towards
greater
self-determination
in
most
instances.
Just
generally
speaking,
however,
we
did
do
some
pre-work
through
your.
A
Your
alpha
subs
were
to
send
a
lot
of
what
we
had
set
up
at
comports
kind
of
pre
sup
to
comport
with
the
current
legislation,
so
that
pre
work
that
you've
done
certainly
came
in
use
and
the
work
they've
done
now
I
believe
puts
us
in
in
line
with
state
law
and
that's
why
we're
doing
this
so
any
further
conversation.
All
in
favor
of
the
item
before
us
item
3,
say:
I
