A
Good
morning,
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
our
Budget
Committee
meeting
regular
meeting
of
September
24th.
We
have
a
number
of
exciting
topics
today
with
us
that
the
dais
right
now
are
simply
councilmember,
Schrader,
bender
and
myself.
I
expect
we
will
be
seeing
a
lot
more
come
as
you
get
further
into
your
presentation.
I
also
want
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
at
the
Andrea
Larson
did
send
out
the
results.
Minneapolis
presentations
and
I
hope
that
we'll
be
have
some
time.
A
We
do
have
some
time
built
into
these
presentations
to
dive
into
questions
that
people
have
I
also
want
to
mention.
We've
been
joined
by
councilmember
Fletcher's,
so
we
have
a
number
of
things
today.
We
do
have
an
hour
reserved
for
a
break
for
lunch
or
whatever
and
we'll
get
right
to
it
with
us.
First
is
mr.
David
Frank.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
and
you're
here
for
the
seedbed
budget,
so
go
ahead.
Thank.
B
You
and
good
morning,
chair
Palmisano
committee
members,
council,
members,
I'm
David
Frank,
director
of
CPD,
and
we
are
pleased
to
be
here
today
to
present
our
2019
recommended
budget.
I
am
joined
this
morning
by
some
of
our
leadership
team,
Andrea
Brennan,
our
housing
director,
our
new
this
morning,
economic
development,
director,
Eric,
Hanson,
Karuna
Mahajan,
our
operations,
director
and
I-
think
joining
us
perhaps
will
be
Heather
Worthington.
Our
long-range
planning,
director
and
Steve
poor.
Our
development
services
director
Chuck
Lots,
is
busy
working
on
other
things.
B
For
you
back
at
Crone,
roller
mill
and
I
know
watching
from
crown
roller
and
from
Public.
Service
Center
and
from
Aldridge
are
a
lot
of
the
rest
of
our
great
team,
thanks
to
them
for
the
work
that
they
have
done
for
you
and
for
us
putting
together
this
recommended
budget
and
for
the
work
they
do
each
day
for
the
residents
and
businesses
of
Minneapolis
we'd
like
to
tell
you
about
the
great
work
that
cpad
does
and
our
recommended
budget
change
items
for
2019
or
that
work.
B
B
Our
recommended
2019
budget
is
128
point
seven
million
dollars
compared
to
a
current
2018
budget
of
110
points,
two
million
dollars.
So
there
are
eighteen
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
21
proposed
change
items
which
I
will
describe
I'll
describe
our
recommended
change
items
organized
by
CP
division.
First,
as
you
can
see,
is
housing
policy
and
development
represented,
as
I
mentioned
by
our
director,
Andrea
Brennan
and
managers,
Angie
skilled
in
residential
finance
and
elfric
port
in
residential
and
real
estate,
development
or
Reds,
and
then
within
housing.
B
I
thought
would
be
useful
to
organize
the
thirteen
change
items
using
the
four
priority
areas
that
the
mayor
had
laid
out
in
his
budget
speech:
increasing
access
to
housing
by
building
new,
affordable
housing
units
preserving
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing,
increasing
homeownership
in
the
city
and
protecting
tenants
from
evictions
by
funding
their
access
to
legal
help.
So
the
first
in
first
in
increasing
access
to
housing
by
building
new
affordable
units
is
14.5
million
dollars,
one
time
for
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
This
is
also
including
two
FTEs,
which
we
recommend
to
do
the
work.
B
Should
the
council
choose
to
add
this
scale
of
dollars
to
our
trust
fund
program?
This
request
would
be
on
top
of
the
existing
base,
by
which
I
mean
the
ongoing
budget
amount
of
six
point,
five
million
dollars
in
the
trust
fund,
and
it
rolls
a
previously
separately
allocated
program
amount
of
$1,000,000
for
the
family
housing
initiative
for
a
total
potential
trust
fund
of
21
million
dollars.
So
6.5
base
14.5
in
front
of
you
right
this
moment.
1
million
for
the
family
housing
initiative
potential
trust
fund
of
21
million
dollars.
B
The
city,
as
you
know,
is
growing
faster
than
it
has
since
1950,
it
is
a
majority
renter
population
in
the
city
and
minneapolis
renters
are
facing
increasing
housing
costs
with
decreasing
incomes
and
fewer
affordable
units.
Today
than
we
had
15
years
ago,
production
is
not
keeping
pace
with
unit
loss.
Approximately
50,000
Minneapolis
renter
households
are
in
less
than
sixty
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income,
the
majority
of
these
households
or
78%,
are
cost
burdened,
meaning
they
pay
more
than
30%
of
their
income
for
housing.
B
The
current
maximum
is
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
and
now
the
eight
hundred
units,
and
if
the
trust
fund
award
limit
were
increased,
for
instance,
to
forty
thousand
dollars
per
unit,
the
number
of
units
funded
would
drop
to
five
hundred,
as
I
mentioned.
We're
talking
about
two
new
FTEs
to
support
this
work,
specifically
one
additional
senior
project
coordinator
to
underwrite
and
process,
and
implement
the
applications
and
loans
and
one
additional
project
coordinator
to
support
the
due
diligence
and
those
loan
closings.
We
don't
have
the
staff
to
add
these
dollars
today.
If.
B
C
B
Chair
comes
president
bender
I
have
about
one
more
minute
on
this.
If
that's
okay,
I'll
be
great,
the
city,
as
you
know,
works
with
multiple
partners
to
execute
our
Affordable
Housing
Trust
Fund
program,
private
developers,
nonprofit
and
for-profit
other
funding
partners
and
the
typical,
affordable
housing
project
requires
anywhere
between
three
and
12
funding
sources.
B
Trust
funds
are
awarded
annually
in
an
RFP
cycle
administered
by
us
that
is
year
round,
and
the
process
begins
on
January
1st.
We
think
that
there's
a
strong
racial
equity
argument
to
be
made
here:
historic
discrimination,
housing
policies
have
had
a
lasting
impact
on
development
patterns
and
also
people
with
disabilities.
Experience
poverty
at
a
higher
rate
than
the
population
as
a
whole.
So
most
both
racial
equity
and
treating
our
disabled
population
fairly
argue
strongly
for
this
program.
B
C
C
B
C
Was
my
next
question
so
I
believe
Finance
has
a
detailed
breakdown
of
the
sources
of
funding
for
the
one-time
dollars
proposed
for
the
trust
fund?
Could
you
speak
to
the
logic
of
having
to
ongoing
full-time
employees
to
program
money?
That
is
one-time
and
maybe
a
related
question
is:
do
we
really
expect
this
money
to
be
spent
in
one
year
in
2019,
or
is
it
more
a
proposal
for
a
number
of
years?
C
B
Chair
council
president
bender,
it
will
take
as
a
hint
if
the
answer
to
the
second
part
of
your
question,
which
I'm
sure
you
know
it
would
take
several
years
from
when
the
council
should
you
choose
to
approve
this
amount
of
money,
we
would
advertise
it
in
an
upcoming
RFP
cycle,
and
then
we
would
work
to
commit
the
dollars,
probably
in
2019,
but
you're
right.
There
would
not
be
expended
in
2019.
The
dollars
would
not
leave
the
checking
account
until
20
or
even
21,
okay
it.
B
But
given
the
amount
of
time
that
that
takes,
we
don't
think
that
there's
any
other
way
to
accomplish
it.
Besides
adding
the
FTE
who
would
be
permanent
and
it's,
we
don't
think
that
there's
any
way
to
do
it
without
that.
Even
if
this
is
a
one-time
one-time
only
and
there
is
no
ongoing
source
found,
we
don't
have
any
other
way
to
produce
the
unit's.
Thank.
C
You
and
then
another
question
that
either
you
or
finance
could
answer.
If
the
council
chose
to
spend
21
million
dollars
in
2019
on
things
related
to
affordable
housing
or
housing
stability
or
helping
low-income
renters
or
any
version
of
that
general
topic
area
or
goal,
do
we
have
the
funds
to
spend
those
dollars
in
2019.
B
Madam
chair
council,
president
bender
I
think
I
understand
your
question,
which
is
David
I,
hear
you
saying
that
14
and
a
half
million
dollars
extra
would
take
a
couple
of
years
to
actually
invest
in
projects.
Do
we
have
enough
in
other
sources,
just
to
actually
write
checks
this
coming
year,
such
a
question
I'm.
C
Not
suggesting
we
would
do
that,
but
if
a
council
member
wanted
to
say,
for
example,
instead
of
putting
this
money
in
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
which
we
know
is
going
to
take
a
number
of
years
to
spend,
we
instead
want
to
spend
it
on
Belcher's
for
renters
or
legal
protection
for
renters
or
preservation
dollars.
We
might
think
get
out
the
door
faster,
which
they
probably
don't
or
something
that
would
be
more
certain
to
get
out
the
door
in
2019.
Do
we
have
the
funds
available
to
spend
21
million
dollars
in
2019
on
affordable
housing?
B
Chair
council
president
bender
I
will
of
course
defer
to
Finance
on
the
answer
to
that
question.
I
will
say:
I
hear
that
your
question
isn't
related
to
production
right.
So
if
the
question
is,
do
we
have
the
money?
I
would
say
we
don't
have
the
projects
right.
We
need
a
longer
lead
time
than
that.
But
if
your
question,
which
I
now
understand,
is
more
broad
and
could
we
spend
it
on
other
things
relating
related
to
housing,
be
it
some
kind
of
production
or
renters
or
homeownership?
B
A
A
E
Chair
Palmisano,
council,
president
bender
I
think
the
short
answer
is
I
think
at
least
half
of
that
money.
We
would
have
available
for
other
programs,
as
we've
discussed
a
previously
significant
portion
of
the
one-time
dollars
for
the
affordable
housing
efforts
are
coming
from
tax
increment
financing
districts,
which
does
carry
restrictions,
so
we
can't
just
use
them
for
a
general
operating
cost.
E
It's
usually
associated
with
a
capital
cost
associated
with
a
building
that
would
serve
as
housing
for
folks
who
have
the
need
and
meet
the
criteria,
but
there
there
is
a
proportion
of
those
dollars
that
could
be
spent
on
other
programs.
If
the
council
chose
to
divert
those,
we
would
just
need
to
understand
what
those
programs
would
be
and
be
able
to
then
sift
through
the
color
of
money
as
we
call
it
whether
or
not
the
uses
meet
the
same
color
as
the
as
the
sources.
F
You
kind
of
along
the
same
lines,
it's
kind
of
concerning
here-
that
we
don't
have
projects,
because
we
absolutely
have
the
need
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
I
think
that
and
we're
not
the
only
city
that
has
a
trust
fund
in
Minnesota
there's
so
many
others.
They
use
a
lot
of
that.
Have
a
big
variety
of
programs
that
they
use
and
I.
F
Think
one
of
the
big
main
want
parts
that
differentiates
us
from
other
cities
throughout
Minnesota
is
that
they
have
a
dedicated
source
of
funding
that
it
is
clear
to
the
community
that
every
single
year
they
have
a
floor,
at
least
that
they
can
count
on.
So
I
think
maybe
talking
a
little
bit
about
that,
because
I
think
also
I'm
curious
of
the
kind
of
the
housing
community
and
developers
knew
that
there
was
a
base
to
rely
on
here
for
a
year
for
year
for
year.
What
that
would
kind
of
change
in
the
affordable
housing
climate.
B
Madam
chair
councillor
Strader
thank
you
for
reminding
me
that
I
probably
left
the
impression
that
there
aren't
projects.
Let
me
say
it
like
this:
there
is
always
a
huge
demand
if
you
say
yes
to
this,
exactly
as
we're
recommending
it
and
we
put
out
an
RFP
that
says
21
million
dollars
of
trust
fund
available.
We
know
we
will
get
much
more
than
21
million
dollars
of
requests
right,
so
the
need
is
there
and
the
development
community
will
respond
to
most
of
your
question.
What
I
meant
when
I
said
there
aren't
projects?
B
Is
there
aren't
projects
we
can
close
on
in
2019,
so
there
will
certainly
be
projects
when
we
signal
now
getting
right
to
your
question.
When
we
signal
that
we
have
the
money
available,
we
will
get
the
proposals
and
then
we
will
choose
great
projects
that
you
will
confirm
and
then
we
will
spend
the
money
on
those
great
projects
but
you're
right.
If
we
continue
at
six
and
a
half
million
dollars
right,
no
one's
expecting
that
we
have
three
times
that
much.
F
Just
to
follow
up
I
mean
I
also
just
want
to
applaud
the
staff
for
your
work
on
I
know.
You
have
a
number
of
pilots
that
are
in
the
pipeline,
and
maybe
you
could
speak
to
a
little
bit.
I
know
that
I'm
just
trying
to
get
the
results
from
those
how
easily
those
could
be
ramped
up,
of
course,
depending
on
the
results
sure.
B
F
B
A
C
Go
ahead,
Thank
You,
chair,
homicide,
I
thought,
maybe
others
would
mention
this,
but
I
I
did
customer
Schrader
and
myself
and
council
sorry
chair
of
our
Housing
Committee
House
member
Gordon,
have
talked
about
potentially
having
a
more
detailed
presentation
of
the
Affordable
Housing
Trust
Fund
at
an
upcoming
committee
meeting,
so
that
we
might
be
able
to
dig
more
into
the
details
of
what's
the
project
Piper
pipeline
look
like
now,
given
this
proposed
increase
in
funding.
What
could
we
expect
to
see
in
2019
and
beyond
in
terms
of
increasing
that
pipeline?
G
Thank
You,
chair
Palmisano
I
mean
really
asking
along
the
same
lines.
I
think
that
there's
this
conflict
between
the
timeline
of
these
projects
in
a
lot
of
ways
and
the
urgency
that
we're
feeling
as
a
city
around
affordable,
housing
and-
and
you
know,
I
I-
find
it
hard
to
argue
with
the
need
for
additional
capacity.
I
think
our
affordable
housing
staff
are
doing
really
hard
work
and
we're
asking
a
lot
and
that
you
know
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
me.
It
it
does.
G
You
know
make
me
uneasy
to
think
about
investing
this
money
and
I.
Think
people
have
worked
really
hard
to
build
the
political
will
to
invest
this
money
and
then
for
us
to
say
we
don't
think
we
can
close
on
anything
with
this
money
in
you
know
the
next
year
and
then
at
the
same
time
we're
trying
to
build
the
capacity
that
we
can
say.
We
need
housing
for
people
in
six
weeks.
Let's
go,
which
is
the
exercise.
We're
engaged
in.
G
You
know,
I
as
a
council
generally
right
now
and
and
so
I
think,
there's
a
tension
for
me
and
I.
Think
I
am
looking
for
a
way
to
think
about.
How
do
we
get
some
projects
moving
faster
and
how
do
we
think
about
how
we
use
the
trust
fund
in
a
way
that
that
does
get
us
online
quicker
and
then
it
and
then
how
do
we
have
a
more
clear-headed
conversation
about
what
we
need
to
do?
B
Madam
chair
councilmember,
Fletcher
I,
would
say
if
I
think
you're
saying
how
do
you
think
about
that?
We
have
to
put
more
money
in
now,
so
that
we
can
have
more
housing
in
the
future.
That
is
the
way
the
trust
fund
is
currently
set
up.
We
are,
of
course,
always
willing
to
have
a
conversation
about.
B
How
can
we
do
we
be
doing
things
better,
we're
all
about
that
and
as
to
the
FTEs
I
would
say
if
the
council
doesn't
think
not
saying
you're
saying
that
if
the
council
doesn't
think
we
should
move
in
this
direction,
then
we
can
obviously
make
do
without
them.
But
if
there's
some
substantial,
doubling
tripling
of
the
trust
fund,
then
we
think
that
we
need
the
FTEs
I
would
say
as
to
production
right.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
think
the
conversation
is
helpful
and
I
think
the
request
to
have
more
detail
on
this
particular
aspect
of
our
housing
initiatives
as
important
and
I
know.
There's
a
need
for
speed
to
get
production
up
and
get
it
up
now.
There's
an
urgency,
that's
very
real,
real
palpable,
of
course,
I
believe
we
do
need
to
staff
up,
because
we
still
want
to
do
the
right
job
and
but
I
mean
by
the
right
job.
H
If
we
take
that
disciplined
high-leverage
approach
that
we've
always
taken
to
get
booked,
you
you
know
to
get
the
units
we've
had
with
the
money
that
we
had
and
so
more
doesn't
need
more
units
unless
it's
well
managed
and
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can
close
capacit
eyes
the
department
to
be
able
to
perform
that
and
to
continue
to
expect
that
to
not
let
urgency
blind
us
from
good
management,
because
that
in
the
end,
will
actually
result
in
less
result
in
the
long
term,
and
this
is
a
long-term
game.
This
is
an
immediate
infusion.
H
Writing
the
course,
but
there
will
be
some
ramping
up.
I
uses
an
analogy:
it's
not
a
100%,
accurate
analogy,
but
when
we
did
dedicate
dollars
for
our
road
infrastructure,
there
was
a
ramp
up
component,
and
that
was
both
in
terms
of
getting
our
ability
to
get
out
in
the
field
and
on
the
ground
and
getting
that
production
out
there.
But
it
also
is
a
ramp
up
for
staffing
as
well.
Sometimes
it's
an
adjustment,
sometimes
an
additional
staff,
but
there
wasn't
an
adjustment
period
and
I'm,
hoping
that
an
infusion
is
not
a
one-off
slap.
H
B
I
Okay,
well,
how
about
12
I
was
pretty
you
know,
so
there
isn't
any
reason,
necessarily
why
we
couldn't
think
about
this
money.
If
we,
if
somebody
up
here
colleague,
here's
another
program
that
they
think
could
get
money
going
faster
out
into
the
community
to
get
housing
going,
we
could
have
that
discussion.
I
think,
and
we
can't
have
that
discussion.
We
could
also
probably
try
to
create
a
new
program
or
add
funding
to
some
other
program.
That's
not
a
change
but
I'm
not
advocating
that
necessarily.
But
what
I'm
advocating
is.
I
B
On
second
in
our
new
housing
production
focus
area
is
a
request
for
1.5
million
one-time
for
a
new
pilot
housing
stabilization
program,
and
this
program
is
designed
to
fund
acquisition
of
tier
2
and
tier
3
as
rated
by
the
city
and
our
reg
Services
colleagues,
tier
2
and
tier
3,
one
to
four
unit
rentals.
So,
as
you
may
have
seen,
I
think
in
this
morning's
newspaper,
the
recent
success
story
about
property
acquisition
on
behalf
of
tenants
in
buildings
owned
by
landlords.
B
This
program
is
designed
to
be
very
flexible,
so
we
can
respond
in
an
emergency,
we're
learning
the
value
of
that
as
we
go.
This
program
will
stabilize
one
to
four
unit
rental
housing
by
providing
financial
assistance
for
the
acquisition
and
rehabilitation
and
tenant
stabilization,
and
the
program's
focus
is
on
community
wealth,
building,
supporting
local
community-based
organizations
promoting
tenant
stability
among
existing
tenants
and
expanding,
affordable,
sustainable
homeownership
opportunities
for
community
residents.
B
B
A
I
J
J
The
focus
of
the
program
is
to
try
to
acquire,
rehabilitate
and
make
sure
that
tenants
that
are
living
there
have
stable
housing.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we'll
be
looking
at
is
the
term
of
affordability
and
what
mechanisms
may
be
in
place
to
ensure
long-term
affordability
and
how
that
balances
with
wealth,
building
objectives
of
households
or
tenants
that
may
be
living
there.
So
these
are
all
sort
of
policy
considerations
that
we
will
be
bringing
forward.
If
this
is
approved
for
your
consideration,
based
on
a
number
of
different
policy
objectives
with.
E
I
Infinity
or
where,
however
long
we
wanted
to
go,
I
also
I
think
there's
room
here
that
the
tenants
themselves
could
become
owners
of
the
property.
I.
Think
that
there's
an
openness
to
that
and
I
not
sure
if
I
can
think
of
any
anything
else,
but
I
think
there's
potential
here
for
this
pilot
to
make
it
make
a
pretty
big
difference.
I
G
Think
your
chair,
Palmisano
one
of
the
things
that's
exciting
about
this
program,
and
there
are
many
things
that
are
exciting
about
this
program.
Is
the
idea
that
the
property
will
be
resold
and
programming
the
program
income
can
be
folded
back
into
the
project
so
that
this
could
become
a
self-sustaining
model.
I
really
like
that.
That
idea
and
I
think
it's
it's
great
for
us
to
be
looking
at
that
I
guess
I'm
wondering
how
long
we
think
that
turnaround
cycle
is
going
to
be.
G
B
D
D
To
be
then
turned
into
rentals.
Full
transparency
I
live
in
a
single-family
house
rental
in
my
ward,
so
not
saying
that
they're
all
bad,
but
the
issue
is
that
they
are
not
welding
tained
and
there
are
lots
of
abuses
as
well
with
Section.
Eight,
that's
another
layer
to
this,
where
we
have
folks
who
particular
property
managers
or
owners
that
will
have
tier
two
and
Tier
three
properties
that
they're
charging
1575
for
in
North.
D
Minneapolis
for
two
bedrooms
and
it's
a
tier
three
property,
because
that
person
is
on
section
eight
and
that
is
the
most
money
that
they
can
get
for
that
property
or
for
that
unit,
and
so
this
is
a
very
challenging
issue
in
North
Minneapolis.
My
ward
has
fairly
low
density
and
a
high
number
of
just
historically
it's
been
very
residential,
single-family
home
residential
and
given
the
economic,
isolation
and
marginalization,
that's
happened.
D
If
you
look
at
these
maps
and
in
our
budget
books
from
229
you'll
see
where
the
tier
two
and
three
rental
license
properties
are
you'll,
see
where
the
most
code
violations
are
and
you'll
see
where
them,
the
largest
concentration
of
poverty,
is
and
so
and
and
those
this
really
just
speaks
to
a
very
particular
issue.
I
know
that
there
are
tier
two
and
Tier
three
properties
in
other
places
of
the
city,
but
I
just
really
want
to
emphatically
make
the
point
as
a
North
Side
councilmember
how
hugely
impactful
that
this
opportunity
is
for
us,
I.
A
F
E
B
Okay,
great
thanks
third,
in
this
area
of
increasing
access
to
housing
by
building
new
affordable,
is
a
request
for
$500,000
one
time
for
a
new
pilot
initiative
to
create
affordable,
missing
middle
housing.
This
is
home
ownership
gap,
assistance
for
smaller
projects
between
two
and
ten
units
to
demonstrate
affordability
in
that
missing
middle
between
two
and
ten
units.
This
builds
off
many
of
our
previous
investments.
After
the
tornado
redevelopment
of
vacant
lots
and
and
other
things
that
we've
been
doing,
the
proposed
change.
B
This
new
pilot
would
facilitate
up
to
three
projects
that
result
in
six
to
twelve
unit:
affordable
housing,
six
to
twelve,
affordable
housing
units.
Excuse
me
on
city-owned
property
I
should
have
said
that
city-owned
property.
It's
intended
that
the
pilot
initiative
would
inform
a
future
expansion
of
the
program
and
financing.
B
This
would
enable
us
to
begin
the
work
of
program
developments
together
with
residents,
developers,
funders
and
other
city
divisions,
so
this
would
be
for
city-owned
development
parcels
that
are
zoned
for
medium
density
and
located
on
community
and
transit
corridors
by
providing
financial
assistance
for
two
to
nine
unit
housing
development,
we've
identified
81
parcels
that
are
zoned,
r3
or
higher,
and
we're
conducting
an
analysis
of
contiguous
properties
to
determine
feasible
sites
for
this
kind
of
work.
So
if
you
say
that
you
agree,
we
would
draft
guidelines,
we
would
come
back
for
your
approval
of
those
guidelines.
B
C
Bender.
Thank
you
two
quick
questions.
The
first
was,
do
we
anticipate
it
sounds
like
you'll
bring
us
more
details
about
the
levels
of
affordability
and
those
kinds
of
details,
but
I
wondered
how
much
that
had
been
discussed
and
then
my
second
question
was:
do
you
imagine
us
requiring
that
these
be
nonprofit
developers
or
could
these
be
Market
Market
held
if,
if
agreed
upon,
an
affordable
requirements
are
met?
Madam.
B
E
C
Really
appreciative
of
the
ways
that
sea
pet
staff
is
thinking
about
opportunities
to
support
entrepreneurship
and
local
ownership
of
rental
property.
I,
don't
think
it's
always
the
case,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
potential
for
local
owners
who
live
in
the
community
to
be
the
kinds
of
landlords
who
know
their
tenants
and
support
long
term
stability
in
our
community
and
share
our
goals
of
protecting
renters
and
I'm
excited
about
the
ways
that
we
could
use.
C
B
B
The
second
of
the
mayor's
for
targeted
areas
is
preserving
naturally-occurring,
affordable,
housing
or
Noah,
and
our
first
request
in
this
area
is
3.3
million
dollars.
One-Time
funding
for
Noah
properties.
Continuing
a
one-time
budget
support
that
we
have
in
our
existing
programs
used
as
follows:
one
and
a
half
million
for
eligible
buyers
to
acquire
and
preserve
at
risk,
Noah
properties
and
1.9
million
for
the
land
bank
acquire
at
risk.
Noaa
properties
both
of
these
are
being
tested,
and
we
will
make
adjustments
based
on
what's
most
effective.
So
just
the
quick
background.
B
I
know
we
all
know,
but
so
we're
saying
it.
Noaa
properties
generally
refer
to
unsubsidized
multifamily,
Class,
C
rental
housing
projects
where
at
least
20%
of
the
units
have
rents,
affordable
to
households
at
or
below
60%
a
very
median
income.
We
think
they're
about
30,000
Class,
C
units
in
buildings
of
four
or
more
units
and
fewer
of
15,000
of
these,
so
half
have
rents,
affordable
to
households
with
incomes
at
or
below.
B
Sixty
percent
of
median
preservation
of
these
properties
has
become
a
critical
issue,
given
the
growing
overall
shortage
of
affordable
housing
and
with
metro
area
rental.
Vacancy
rates
at
between
two
and
three
percent.
Noaa
properties
have
become
progressively
attractive
to
local
and
national
speculators,
who
want
to
maximize
their
cash
flow
by,
of
course,
increasing
the
rents
once
the
NOAA
property
is
improved,
and/or
torn
down
its
lost
forever,
and
so,
in
spite
of
all
the
money
that
we
are
talking
about
today,
investing
in
new
production
there
are
fewer.
B
Just
a
little
more
in
each
of
the
two
pieces
of
this
program,
the
NOAA
preservation
fund,
1.5
million,
would
assist
eligible
preservation,
buyers
to
acquire
and
preserve
NOAA
rental
property
in
Minneapolis,
that
is
at
risk
of
increased
rents.
In
order
to
protect
those
low
income,
tenants
occupying
the
housing
and
at
twenty
five
to
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
unit.
B
We
think
we
could
support
an
additional
between
thirty
and
sixty
units
and
then
in
our
small
and
medium
multifamily
land
banking
pilot
program,
1.9
million
for
a
new
and
innovative
model
to
help
stabilize
buildings
with
two
or
more
units
that
are
occupied
by
low
to
moderate
income.
Tenants,
these
properties
are,
as
the
other
susceptible
to
market
pressure,
and
the
goal
is
to
remove
these
properties
from
the
speculative
markets.
To
restrict
them
is
affordable
for
the
long
term
and
fun
in
this
part
of
the
program.
B
F
G
J
Madam
chair
councilmember
Fletcher
thanks
for
the
question
this
is
this
falls
into
the
category
of
the
city.
If
the
city
is
going
to
have
an
impact
in
this
area,
the
city
has
to
be.
There
has
to
be
at
the
table,
has
to
be
at
the
table
with
resources
and
has
to
be
able
to
to
be
very
nimble
in
exercising
these
resources.
So
we've
had
we've.
J
We've
committed
Noah
preservation
funds
to
two
projects
that
would
use
all
of
the
funding
that
we
have
available
and
those
particular
nonprofit
preservation
purchasers
were
came
in
second
in
their
bids
for
those
properties.
So
there
were
two
opportunities
to
opportunities
that
we
were
able
to
mobilize
really
quickly
and
commit
city
resources
for,
for
that
servation
they
weren't
successful,
but
we
are
working
with
our
nonprofit
partners
to
find
out
what
adjustments
may
need
to
be
made
in
the
program
to
make
it
more
successful.
J
We
did
just
bring
forward
a
series
of
changes
that
the
council
approved
that
we
think
will
will
be
more
effective.
Secondly,
that
the
small
medium
multifamily
program
was
just
is
just
being
launched
right
now
and
so
to
the
extent
that,
if
we
find
that
that
program
is,
is
moving
faster
and
is
more
effective
at
preserving,
then
you
could
expect
us
to
come
back
to
you
and
and
potentially
recommend
shifting
funds
from
one
program
to
another.
F
Just
want
to
follow
up
on
councilmember
Fletcher's
question:
could
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
why
Minneapolis
is
unique?
You
know
a
lot
of
the
nonprofit
Noah
preservation
developers
are
looking
at
the
suburbs
and
we
have
kind
of
a
unique
situation
in
Minneapolis.
That
I
think
dictates
a
different
response.
J
C
C
K
K
Now
we've
talked
to
a
number
of
stakeholders,
it's
going
to
be
public
in
short
order,
and
one
of
the
benefits
of
this
is
that
we'll
have
notice
of
people
who
are
selling
and
the
question
is:
are
there
people
who
are
buying-
and
we
kind
of
need
to
know
that
and
so
I
think
that
the
idea
here
was
that
we
will
get
the
sales
information.
We
need
we're
not
talking
about
waiting
a
year
to
implement
this,
but
six
months,
I
think
and
councilmember.
K
Schrader
certainly
could
chime
in
also
we'll
have
a
list
of
properties
and
we'll
have
a
sense
of
who
is
buying
them
as
we
try
to
build
and
expand
the
market
for
people
to
buy
these
buildings
to.
But
we
can't
do
that
if
we
don't
have
money
available
to
be
able
to
assist,
and
so
this
might
not
be
the
perfect
amount
or
at
the
perfect
time,
but
we're
moving
this
policy
forward.
At
the
same
time
as
the
funding
and
so
I
think,
that's
important
to
note
and
I'm.
Sorry,
if
I've
already,
someone
already
said
that
no.
F
Well
sure,
just
want
to
thank
councilman
we're
going
good
enough
to
bring
up
his
weed.
We
didn't
bring
that
up
and
it's
an
important
part
of
the
story.
It's
notice
is
absolutely
the
first
part
of
it,
but
the
second
part
is
having
the
funding
and
that's
something
that
is
is
a
part
of
the
equation,
so
I
think
staffs
efforts
to
do
that.
It's
we're
hoping
to
grow
it
in
the
future,
but
we'll
see
what
happens
coming
with
the
pilot.
B
You,
madam
chair
next
in
Noah,
changed
item
is
$250,000
ongoing
to
support
the
expansion
of
our
current
4
D
pilot
initiative
into
a
full
program.
So
here's
an
example
of
where
we
did
a
pilot.
It's
been
successful,
and
now
we
are
here
recommending
that
we
convert
it
to
a
thing.
We
do
all
the
time
and
going
forward,
so
we
would
provide
minimal
assistance
to
make
this
happen.
B
We
think
that
this
modest
investment
is
a
good
idea,
given
how
successful
the
program
has
been
so
it
demand
in
the
pilot
phase
noticeably
exceeded
our
capacity
to
say
yes,
and
we
anticipate
that
we
could
preserve
between
1,000
and
5,000
NOAA
units
through
this
program
by
expanding
it
to
become
ongoing,
and
we
would
aim
to
enroll
participants,
of
course,
in
each
ward
of
the
city,
we
think
would
be
a
great
complement
to
our
other
programs.
It's
had
us
working
well
with
our
partners
in
health
and
sustainability,
and
there
we
are.
D
So
overall
they're
saving
more
money,
as
well
as
increasing
healthy
homes,
so
that
our
kids
aren't
getting
lead
poisoned
and
all
these
other
things
that
come
with
with
housing
challenges.
So
I
just
want
to
say
it
like
commemorate
the
team.
That's
really
great
job!
Thank
you.
So
much
for
working
interdisciplinary.
B
Pivoting
now
to
homeownership
the
third
of
the
mayors
for
targeted
areas
for
housing.
Our
first
request
in
this
area
is
an
expansion
of
the
minneapolis
homes
program
to
develop
vacant
lots
with
four
million
dollars
of
funding
one
time
and
two
FTEs
our
ongoing
budgets.
The
base
budgets
in
this
program
area
is
$750,000,
so
minneapolis
homes
provides
financial
assistance
to
create
homeownership
housing
opportunities,
facilitate
development
of
city-owned
properties
and
provide
long-term
affordability
of
ownership
housing.
B
This
funding
could
be
used
to
facilitate
development
of
approximately
80
of
the
some
450
vacant,
city-owned
properties,
the
request
for
proposals
process
and
the
cost
of
developing
these
vacant
lots
is
more
than
what
they
will
sell
for.
So
there's
need
to
subsidize
these
through
development
gap
assistance.
This
addresses
our
goal
of
promoting
inclusive
and
equitable
developments.
This
has
been
a
high
priority
recommendation
from
the
different
housing
committees
that
have
convened
to
talk
about
how
to
ramp
up
the
city's
focus
on
housing
and.
K
K
And
we
should
think
that,
if
putting
this
kind
of
money
in
80
Lots,
now
that's
probably
going
to
take
four
years.
I
would
guess
maybe
three
if
we're
really
assertive
but
I
mean
the
small
people,
the
small
organizations
and
individuals
that
do
this.
Work
can't
take
on
ten
houses
in
one
year.
So
I
just
want
to
note
that.
B
Madam
chair
councilmember,
Goodman
I,
don't
have
projections
here
about
how
long
it
would
take
us.
I
can
say
that
we
believe
in
this
program
and
investing
in
it.
Broadly
speaking,
we
think
is
the
right
thing
to
do
whether
this
is
the
right
amount
or
what
the
expectation
is
for
how
quickly
this
money
would
be
spent,
and
therefore,
whether
the
council
thinks
it
should
be
spent
on
something
else
there.
You
are.
A
B
Our
second
recommendation
for
Crete
increasing
homeownership
in
the
city
is
$200,000
ongoing
for
expansion
of
the
homeownership
opportunity,
Minneapolis
or
home
HLM
program,
which
is
increasing
downpayment
assistance
per
home
from
$7,500
to
$10,000.
This
home
program
is
existing
and
it
provides
downpayment
assistance
to
homebuyers
with
incomes
below
115
percent
of
median
who
have
completed
financial
wellness
counseling.
The
strategy
is
to
increase
the
maximum
per
homebuyer
subsidy
from
7,500
to
$10,000.
B
Excuse
me
to
position
more
households
to
be
able
to
meet
the
down
payment
and
closing
costs
requirements
in
an
in
housing
market
without
prices
are
going
up.
The
program
is
administered
by
our
contracted
vendor,
build
wealth,
Minnesota
selected
through
a
competitive
request
for
proposals
process,
and
we
pay
$1200
per
closed
loan
and
with
the
program
changes
we're
identifying
here,
we
anticipate
closing
80
loans,
so
this
helps
us
serve
our
lower-income
residents
getting
more
of
them
into
homeownership
and
we
think
it's
a
worthwhile
investment
to
make.
Thank
you.
B
We
had
Ehlers
perform
an
analysis
of
our
programs
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
as
you
remember
and
determined
that
it
was
more
cost-effective
to
perform
the
services
for
this
program
in-house
as
opposed
to
outsourcing,
and
so
we
started
doing
this
ourselves
and
it
is
going
just
fine.
This
is
not
a
programmatic
change.
The
purposes
of
this
request
purpose
of
this
request
is
to
use
CDBG
program
incomes.
We're
asking
for
your
assent
in
using
the
money
this
way.
B
Forth
in
increasing
homeownership
in
the
city
is
$50,000
one
time
to
expand
the
homeownership,
counseling
and
outreach
program.
This
program
provides
administrative
support
to
the
Minnesota
home
ownership
center
and
its
network
of
homebuyer
educators,
who
provide
service
to
Minneapolis
homeowners
and
prospective
homebuyers
and
funds
will
be
used
to
increase
the
capacity
of
homebuyer
education
programs
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
This
expansion
would
address
our
priority
of
preserving
and
expanding
access
to
affordable
and
sustainable
homeownership
and
reducing
racial
disparities
in
homeownership
rates.
B
This
is
a
modification
to
our
existing
homeownership,
counseling
and
outreach
program.
It's
intended
to
expand
the
delivery
system
that
supports
the
homeownership
center
and
its
service
providers.
We've
made
significant
advances
in
our
outreach
efforts
to
the
two
african-american
households,
but
our
results
are
not
what
we
would
like
to
see
with
Asian
and
Hispanic
and
American
Indian
communities,
and
we
envision
that.
With
this
increase,
we
could
expand
our
outreach
in
those
communities.
B
The
last
of
the
mayor's
focus
areas
on
for
housing
is
protecting
tenants
and
the
first
of
our
recommendations
in
that
category
is
three
point:
three
five
million.
This
is
shown
as
one
time
but
I
believe
it's
conceived
as
three
point:
three
five
million
each
year
for
three
years
or
a
total
of
ten
million
dollars
to
support
the
Minneapolis
education
and
stability
program.
This
would
be
421
vouchers
made
available
to
each
of
the
15
schools,
which
face
the
worst
problems
in
the
city,
with
homelessness,
supporting
up
to
320
families
per
year.
B
The
program
would
be
administered
by
the
mPHA,
the
public
housing
authority
and
will
not
require
any
additional
city,
administrative
or
staff
capacity
equipment
or
supplies
or
IT.
So
the
idea
here
is
an
innovative
partnership
with
the
Minneapolis
Public
Housing
Authority,
public
schools,
Hennepin
County
and
rental
housing
owners
and
operators
to
prevent
or
reduce
homelessness
for
families
in
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
grades
k-8
by
providing
housing
subsidies
and
supports
for
families
that
lead
to
students
graduating
from
high
school.
B
Eight
percent
of
students
in
Minneapolis
elementary
schools
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
10%
or
more
of
the
students
face
homelessness
as
a
daily
threat.
As
you
know,
there
are
record
low
vacancy
rates
in
Minneapolis
and
that
can
create
an
insurmountable
barrier
for
some
low-income
families
to
find
affordable
housing.
So
this
program
would
provide
assistance
to
make
that
more
possible
to
provide
support.
Housing
subsidies
as
well
as
non
housing,
supports
saving
funds
match
case
management
and
program
management.
Again
it
would
be
administered
by
M
PHA
and
not
by
us
I'll
pause.
There.
C
B
C
You
no
I
appreciate
that
very
much
so,
for
example,
our
Police
Department
has
a
one-time.
You
know
a
request
for
this
year
and
then
we
also
have
a
five-year
financial
projection
that
reflects
750
thousand
extra
dollars
each
year
per
year,
additional
on
top
right.
So
but
that's
kind
of
calculated
into
the
levy
that
we
are
expecting
to
see
next
year.
The
7%
love
you
that
we're
expecting
to
see
the
year
after
that,
but
I'm
just
it
sounds
like
this
is
not
calculated
into
those
projected
levy,
increases
the
3.35
annual
for
three
years.
L
Chair
and
council
president,
so
to
your
question:
no
there's
not
a
placeholder
in
the
five-year
financial
direction
for
the
additional
dollars
similar
to
mr.
Frank.
I
have
heard
discussion
about
multi-year,
but
I
haven't
seen
a
commitment
as
such
I
think.
The
the
slight
difference
between
this
commitment
were
to
be
added
to
the
five-year
financial
direction
and
some
of
the
items
that
are
discussed
for
public
safety
are.
L
These
would
be
three
one-time
uses
versus
those
public
safety
dollars
being
ongoing,
and
so
in
the
future,
these
wouldn't
necessarily
come
out
of
the
property
tax
levy
and
there's
in
the
five-year
financial
direction.
There
is
an
eight
million
dollar
placeholder
and
that's
sort
of
our
assumed
one-time
spend
each
year.
So
certainly
this
could
come
from
that.
E
F
All
of
the
housing
slides
of
just
the
question
of
kind
of
looking
at
where
the
bottlenecks
are
I'm
kind
of
councilmember,
Goodman's
point
then
having
a
large
amount
and
a
budgets,
no
good.
If
we
aren't
going
to
spend
it
so
is
increasing
the
amount
of
homebuyer
assistance
or
counseling,
or
something
going
to
get
us
to
where
we
need
to
be
I
like
that.
We're
seeing
an
increase
in
the
amount
of
counseling,
but
is
that
going
to
be
able
to?
B
Madam
chair
councilmember
Schrader
in
in
a
word.
Yes,
we
have
conceived
of
these
recommendations,
as
as
you
can
tell
pretty
broad
approach
to
the
large
issue
of
affordable
housing
that
confronts
us,
and
we
think
that
these
are
good
avenues
to
pursue,
but
you
are
right
without
knowing
first
whether
the
mayor
would
recommend
them
and
then
whether
the
council
would
approve
them,
I
can't
stand
here
and
say,
and
we
think
it
all
interlocks
perfectly
and
that
we
can
spend
every
dollar
within
the
year
that
you
give
us
the
budget.
B
Authority
I
can't
say
that,
because
you
may
say
this
isn't
the
right
thing
to
do.
It
should
be
something
else
right.
We
have
to
make
work.
Of
course,
when
you
give
us
the
budget
direction
to
spend.
That
said,
we
think
that
they
fit
together.
You
know
in
a
way,
right.
Homeownership
is
important,
as
is
preserving
affordable,
as
is
building
new,
as
is
renter
intended
protections.
I
would
say
those
are
good,
broad
categories
within
that.
We
of
course
work
for
you
on
what
you
think.
The
right
balance
is
I.
A
D
You,
madam
chair,
I,
am
not
sure
if
this
questions
for
you
or
another
staff
member,
but
is
it
possible
to
get
background
in
about
the
development
of
this
partnership
like
was
there
an
MOU
signed?
Where
was
the
agreement
that
we
would
do
three
point
three:
five
million
dollars
for
the
next
three
years,
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
as
to
the
development
process,
because
seeing
the
that
there's
an
expectation
of
two
more
years
of
this
money,
this
is
really
when
I
was
reviewing.
D
B
Chair
councilmember
Cunningham,
that's
that's
a
great
question.
I
would
say
it
exists
more
in
the
political
world
and
specifically
with
Mayor
Frye
and
some
direction
that
he
gave
us
to
try
to
work
this
out.
It's
a
the
budget.
Part
of
it
is,
of
course,
in
front
of
you
right
now
and
the
next
month
and
a
half
two
months
and
we'd
be
happy
to
find
you
separately
and
give
you
the
background.
As
we
understand.
K
K
B
K
I,
don't
I
just
don't
understand
this
as
a
pro
Grahame
priority
for
us
I've,
not
known
rental
assistance,
to
be
something
we
pretty
much
do
at
all
other
than
with
our
HOPWA
or
and
or
other
federal
funds,
and
so
I'm
kind
of
confused.
This
is
just
simply
someone
one
person
saying
put
3.3
million
into
helping
this
group
of
people
and
we
hope
we
can
find
15
in
these
20
or
21
people
in
the
15
neighborhoods
and
it's
getting
us
into
the
rental
assistance
business.
K
So
where
does
that
stop
so
we're
gonna
buy
2
million
dollars
worth
of
8
homes
and
house
this
10
families,
then
we're
gonna
give
$800
to
these
300
families.
Where
does
that
and
then,
of
course,
since
taxes
are
going
up,
you're
taking
people
who
are
ready
for
curiously
housed
and
making
them
pay
to
house
other
people.
K
I
mean
I,
guess
I,
don't
understand
how
something
like
this
gets
into
the
budget
because
there's
not
any
there
there.
This
is
like,
and
now
you
get
rental
assistance
and
you
get
rental
assistance
and
you
get
rental
assistance.
I
feel
like
I'm
on
Oprah
I
mean
what
is
going
on
here,
that
this
is
just
like
a
political
thing.
Then.
B
Madam
chair
councilmember
Goodman,
we
see
the
value
in
making
students
and
schools
more
stable
and
the
families
who
are
facing
homelessness,
who
go
to
Minneapolis,
Public,
Schools,
more
stable,
and
so
we're
pleased
to
recommend
it.
Whether
you
have
questions
about
whether
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
or
more
information
you'd
like
us
to
provide
as
councilmember
Cunningham
asked
where
we'd
be
happy
to.
This
is
I.
K
Don't
need
a
private
political
briefing
to
explain
that
this
is
something
the
mayor
wants
to
do.
I
would
say
if
we
have
three
point
three:
five
million
dollars,
there's
like
ten
other
programs
we
just
heard
about
that-
would
have
more
of
an
impact
on
the
area
that
we're
in
charge
of
which
is
ensuring
affordable
housing
in
the
city.
We
have
a
production
problem.
We
have
a
preservation
problem.
K
We
have
a
bad
landlord
problem,
I'm,
not
sure
how
selecting
one
group
of
people
I
don't
know
who
these
people
are
either
you
would
and
and
giving
them
cash
that
just
is
cash
out
the
door.
It
doesn't
do
anything
to
build
any
additional,
affordable
housing
in
those
neighborhoods
that
the
schools
are
in.
B
K
A
F
F
Okay
well,
like
I,
know
that
this
is
very
similar
to
a
home.
Work
starts
at
home
program
that
the
governor's
been
pushing
and
been
successful
in
a
couple,
and
the
wilder
foundation
has
been
working
on
it
been
successful
in
a
couple.
Different
cities
and
they've
been
working
to
expand
it.
That
said,
I
have
to
echo
the
concerns
of
councilmember
Goodman.
My
concern
with
our
housing
strategy
is
that
we
tend
to
put
out
fires
instead
of
having
a
long
term
strategy
where
we
are
picking
winners
and
losers.
F
Without
saying
we
are
going
to
work
on
this
income
level
in
this
area
to
the
city.
For
this
reason
and
for
this
outcome
and
then
hold
ourselves
accountable
for
that
and
I
think
that
tends
to
focus
it
since
they
have
this
type
of
approach,
where
we
have
a
good
program,
we
work
on
it
and
we
don't
really
hold
ourselves
accountable
to
in
this
year.
F
We
are
going
to
end
homelessness,
and
this
year
we
are
going
to
make
sure
every
family
is
going
to
have
a
home
and
I
know
that
we're
very
limited
by
resources
and
by
the
political
viability
of
what
we
can.
As
a
city
do
when
we
have
other
partners
in
the
county
and
state
and
federal
that
are
not
doing
what
I
would
say
is
their
fair
share.
But
that
said,
it
does
limit
us
and
I
think
that
we
I'm
worried
we're
missing
opportunities,
that
we
could
be
able
to
get
people
in
homes
and
get
them
stable.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
I
know
we're
running
already
short
and
time.
I
did
want
to
just
make
a
general
comment
that
says
a
couple
things
first
of
all,
I
know
that
we
are
all
so
supportive
of
the
general
direction
of
increasing
our
investments
in
affordable
housing
and
housing
stability
and
are
really
thankful
to
the
work
of
staff
to
come
up
with
new
and
creative
solutions.
We've
been
asking
you
to
do
that,
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
the
ability
of
our
staff
in
any
department
to
respond
to
policy
makers.
C
C
I
I
just
want
to
see
the
obvious
you're
hearing
a
lot
of
concern
from
council
members
about
the
sustainability
of
our
investments
and
how
we're
measuring
results,
and
particularly
here
in
the
real
world,
how
we're
gonna
pay
for
these
investments
going
forward
and
I'm
looking
at
the
funding
sources
and
seeing
that
the
one-time
funding
sources
that
we're
talking
about
investing
are
mostly
not
likely
to
be
there
in
the
future,
I
mean
sometimes
we
use
one-time
money
that
we
expect
to
come.
You
know
into
the
future,
but
these
are
probably
really
one-time
dollars.
C
We
might
be
able
to
find
more
one-time
dollars.
We
might
be
talking
about
significantly
raising
property
taxes
to
maintain
anywhere
near
this
kind
of
investment
in
the
future
and
I
think
we
just
need
a
lot
more
detail
about
that
from
you
know
all
of
the
staff
that
work
on
this
across
the
enterprise
as
we
go
forward
between
now
and
budgeted
options
to
feel
more
comfort
as
council
members
about
some
of
these
on
strategies
and
investments.
So
that
was
just
like
a
broad
statement
to
try
to
capture
summarize
these.
I
This
isn't
an
idea
that
I
came
up
with
it,
isn't
something
that
I
was
pushing,
but
I
know
that
the
mayor
has
worked
closely
with
the
superintendent
and
they're
looking
at
how
they
can
target
some
resources
so
that
we
can
really
address
some
critical
needs,
because
the
students
who
are
moving
from
neighborhood
to
neighborhood,
going
from
homelessness
to
housing
somewhere
and
it's
so
in
stable,
have
no
chance
of
being
successful
in
school
and
we've
been
hearing
from
our
partners
in
other
jurisdictions.
Can
you
do
something
to
help
us?
I
And
we
say
one
of
the
things
we
work
on
is
housing.
We
help
provide
housing
and
we
do
that
and
we've
been
trying
I
think
in
our
usual
ways
to
address
it
for
the
last
12
years
and
we
keep
getting
come
come
back
saying.
We
need
more
help.
It's
not
really
working.
So
I,
just
when
the
mayor
came
up
with
this
and
his
his
first
state
of
the
city,
address
I,
think
that's
where
he
came
up
with
it
first
and
mentioned
it.
I
thought.
H
I
Here's
being
creative
and
thinking
outside
in
thinking
a
little
bit
differently,
and
maybe
this
is
something
we
could
do.
I
certainly
recognize
that
we
haven't
been
in
the
business
of
subsidizing
rent
for
folks,
we've
tried
to
rely
on
the
county
to
do
that.
The
federal
government
and
the
cap
agencies
to
do
it,
and
maybe
this
is
something
that
we
should
be
looking
at.
Hennepin
County
cap
agency
can
to
partner
with,
and
do
more
that
even
might
be
the
pivot
point.
I
It's
a
pilot
that
we
can
start
and
then
we
can
hand
it
off
to
somebody
as
it
moves
forward.
So
I'm
open-minded
about
it,
I'm,
not
necessarily
it's
something
I'm
gonna,
be
you
know,
fighting
tooth
and
nail
about,
but
I
see
this.
It
could
have
some
real
promise
and
it
could
really
help
some
some
kids
be
successful
in
our
schools
and
our
schools
be
more
successful
and
I
think
it's
worth
serious
consideration.
Thanks
thank.
G
Thank
You,
chair
Palmisano,
so
I
I
want
to
see
this
idea
become
a
program
because
the
correlation
between
success
and
schools
and
stable
housing
is
so
strong
and
it's
such
an
urgent
need
and
it's
something
when
I
when
I
toured
North
East
middle
school.
That
was
the
first
thing.
The
principal
said
to
me
is
I
said
you
know:
what
can
the
city
do
get
our
kids
housing
was
the
very,
very
strong
message,
so
I
think
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
this
work.
G
I
take
comes
when
we're
good
on
this
point,
though,
that
this
can't
just
be
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
here.
Oh
we
have
to
think
more
comprehensively
about
how
to
do
this,
and
in
I've
talked
with
a
long-range
planning
staff
about
thinking
about,
even
in
the
comp
plan.
How
do
we
incorporate
you
know,
building
support
for
families
who
are
sending
their
kids
to
schools
into
the
way
we
think
about
land
use?
G
If
we're
gonna,
can
we
draw
a
three
block
radius
around
every
public
school
and
say
we're
going
to
encourage
three
bedroom
units
instead
of
you
know,
micro
apartments?
You
know
right
around
public
schools
and
sort
of
really
make
sure
that
we're
building
housing
the
families
can
live
in
so
that
we
can
subsidize
it.
You
know
other
ways
that
we
can
think
about
this,
so
that
we're
addressing
production,
we're
addressing
preservation,
in
addition
to
providing
some
rent,
subsidy
and
I,
think
we
have
to
do
all
of
those
things
and
I
think
this
is
really
important.
A
Thank
You
councilmember
Cunningham
and
then
in
the
interest
of
time,
I
want
to
ask
the
director
to
move
on
and
we
can
save
our
more
general
questions
until
the
end.
As
a
point
of
information,
I
am
going
to
allow
this
C
ped
conversation
to
go
on
until
11:45
the
Convention
Center
conversation
shouldn't
take
more
than
15
minutes.
So,
if
that's
all
right
with
you
we'll
go
ahead
and
do
that
councilmember
Cunningham.
Thank.
D
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
this,
is
kind
of
like
the
next
step
beyond
this,
but
also
wanting
to
circle
back
to
our
home
ownership.
Conversation
I
apologized
when
council
president
bender
mentioned
metrics
I
wanted
to
bring
up
something
with
home
ownership.
Do
we
when
it
comes
to
home
ownership,
do
leave
measure
as
a
city
first
time
for
this
first
generation
or
and/or,
formerly
foreclosed
upon
homeowners?
J
Madam
chair
comes
my
burger
Cunningham.
We
do
not
collect
that
specific
level
of
data.
What
we
do
collect,
though,
is
we.
We
collect
data
and
income,
and
we
collect
data
on
race
and
ethnicity,
and
we
also
know
that
in
in
our
strategies,
we
work
very
hard
to
target
populations
that
have
been
not
had
the
same
access
to
home
ownership
opportunities
in
the
past,
as
everyone
else
has.
J
So
what
we've
done
through
our
home
ownership
programs
is
increase,
the
percentage
of
households
of
color
that
are
served
through
all
of
our
homeownership
programs
by
50
percent
over
the
last
two
and
a
half
three
years.
So
now
it's
about
60
percent
of
our
of
those
served
by
our
programs,
60
to
65
percent,
our
households
of
color,
and
we
do
know
that
households
of
color
are
disproportionately
more
likely
to
be
first-generation,
homebuyers
and
also
home
buyers.
Who
may
have
experienced
foreclosure
in
the
past.
I.
D
Just
wanted
to
reflect
as
a
Northside
council
member
who's
really
in
the
thick
of
the
conversation
around
homeownership,
that
the
high
level
data
race,
I,
wouldn't
say
race
and
ethnicity,
because
if
we're,
if
we
were
disaggregating
by
ethnicity,
would
be
able
to
see
the
difference
between,
let's
say,
African
immigrants
rather
than
african-american.
It's
like.
We
can't
see
that
right
now
and
also
disaggregated
by
income
that
makes
us
have
to
have
to
try
to
make
some
conclusions
based
on
that
I
mean
when
we
talk
about
community
wealth,
building,
an
individual
and
family
wealth
building.
D
Those
are
the
folks
who
are
really
getting
the
first-time
offers
or
getting
the
real
opportunity
to
break
intergenerational
poverty,
and
so
I
just
want
to
challenge
us
to
dig
deeper
into
the
data.
Maybe
get
a
little
bit
more
specific
as
like
the
next
step
of
targeting,
and
things
like
that.
I
know
that
we've
that
folks
of
color
fall
into
that
category
oftentimes,
but
I
think
that
if
we
want
to
be
able
to
say
we
have
measurably
made
an
impact
on
building
community
wealth.
We
can't
say
that
without
those
specific
numbers,
that
necessarily
so
thank
you.
B
Moving
on
madam
chair
next
in
protecting
tenants,
helping
tenants
is
$175,000
one
time
for
tenant
legal
services
building
on
one
time,
funding
in
the
current
year
2018.
This
is
free
legal
services
to
low-income
renters,
who
cannot
afford
traditional
legal
services
and
are
living
in
housing
in
need
of
repair
to
meet
city
code
standards.
B
K
So
in
terms
of
helping
more
people,
stay
in
stable
housing,
beefing
up
our
ability
to
maintain
our
housing
stock,
and
if
that
means
through
litigation,
because
the
City
Attorney's
Office
isn't
gonna,
bring
tenet
remedies,
actions
in
the
aggressive
way
we
might
like,
then
we
need
to
be
funding
legal
assistance
to
those
who
are
in
need
in
terms
of
bang
for
the
buck
and
people
staying
in
their
housing.
This
makes
a
bigger
bang
for
the
buck.
C
C
We
think
there
would
be
a
virtuous
cycle
of
having
fewer
evictions
filed.
We
know
that
when
the
tenant
has
even
aud
a
filing
on
their
record,
it's
almost
impossible
to
find
housing
in
the
future,
and
we
know
that
half
of
our
renters
living
in
North
Minneapolis
have
an
eviction
filing
on
their
record.
C
So
we're
hearing
from
folks
who
work
with
tenants
that
that,
right
to
counsel
the
ability
to
have
a
lawyer
standing
up
there
in
court
with
you
as
a
low
income
tenant,
will
likely
lead
to
fewer
evictions
in
the
future
and
again,
like
I,
said
before
in
the
future,
become
that
very
important
enforcement
piece
and
mechanism
of
any
new
protections
that
we
might
adopt.
So
I'll
be
working
to
potentially
find
more
funds
for
this
in
this
year's
budget,
but
particularly
going
forward
to
find
a
partnership
that
would
be
sustainable
to
get
that
council
for
low-income
tenants.
C
B
Madam
chair
next
in
our
tenant
emphasis
area
is
$125,000
one
time
as
an
investment
in
tenant
hotline
services.
This
program
has
been
funded
since
2015,
with
one-time
funding
each
year
and
began
complements
work
being
done
by
our
colleagues
and
regulatory
services.
Low-Income
renter
households
in
need
of
the
service
are
disproportionately
women
and
people
of
color
and
Somali
and
spanish-speaking
tenant
advocates
work
with
these
immigrant
communities
in
their
native
languages.
We've
supported
this
since
2015
to
provide
free
legal
advice
to
Minneapolis
renters
in
English,
Spanish
and
Somali
via
phone
email
and
distribution
of
materials.
D
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
make
the
the
quick
plea,
if
you
will,
as
somebody
who's
someone
who
represents
a
war,
that's
about
23%
Hmong
in
Southeast
Asian,
to
consider
also
potentially
a
among
interpreter
and
services.
One
of
the
things
that
recently
happened
actually
is
that
we,
my
office,
had
to
deal
with
a
constituent
that
got
bounced
all
over
and
nobody
offered
any
language
interpreter
interpretation
throughout
the
entire
process.
She
happened
to
be
a
constituent.
D
We
happen
to
come
across
where
she
was
hysterically
crying
because
she
didn't
know
who
to
go
to
who
to
talk
to,
and
so
that
that's
just
Lily
and
I've
done
a
lot
of
had
a
lot
of
community
conversations
with
Mona
and
Southeast
Asian
folks
and
and
and
their
ongoing,
like
apprehension
around
engaging
with
systems
and
resources.
I
think
that
that
the
language
barrier
really
perpetuates
that,
so
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
moments
are
also
being
brought
to
this
conversation
as
well.
Thank.
A
B
Next
to
the
council
presidents
point
a
minute
ago
forth
in
our
tenant
emphasis
area
is
$150,000
one
time
for
an
eviction
represent
tation
pilots.
This
is
a
new
program
that
would
be
administered
through
a
contracts
with
nonprofit
legal
service
providers.
We
think
for
between
100
and
125,
low-income
renter
households
facing
eviction
which,
of
course
meets
many
of
our
goals,
including
preventing
displacement
and
resolving
health
and
safety
problems
in
homes.
B
Next,
madam
chair,
second
change:
item
for
economic
policy
and
development
is
five
hundred
forty
seven
thousand
dollars
of
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funding,
one
time
for
both
the
great
streets
and
the
business
technical
assistance
program
or
beat
app.
This
funding
will
allow
existing
program
levels
to
continue.
These
programs
received
an
allocation
of
over
1
million
dollars
of
CDBG
funds
several
years
ago
and
they've
been
spending
it
down
through
the
great
streets
programs
beat
app
and
other
activities.
B
D
You
madam
chair
I,
first
want
to
say
that
these
two
programs
are
really
great
doing
a
lot
of
really
great
work
with
great
streets.
I
want
to
be
able
to
express
some
concern
about
the
fact
that
such
little
area
space,
in
particularly
my
ward
is,
is
marked
as
even
eligible
and
so
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
have
further
conversations
about
how
we
can
make
sure
that
we're,
including
the
fourth
word
in
in
this,
but
in
North
Minneapolis
really
overall,
but
with
the
tab.
D
First
I'm
going
to
say
wonderful
staff,
Daniel's
amazing,
I'm,
curious
about
the
metrics,
because
I
was
going
through
the
results,
the
see,
ped
results
and
and
for
them
I
didn't
see.
Metrics
around
number
of
dollars
that
were
secured
by
businesses
that
went
through
each
half
so
were
like
loans,
business
loans
being
able
to
access
that
as
well
as
new
businesses
opened
and
I.
D
I've
just
I've
noticed
that
my
constituents
have
not
been
able
even
qualified
qualified
folks
who
have
been
previously
business
owners
who
decided
to
move
into
a
different
field
and
like
let
me
give
it
a
try
again
who
they
did
not
get
high
quality
service
and
and,
as
a
result,
have
not
been
able
to
really
open
a
business
in
the
ward,
so
so
just
wanted
to
bring
that
to
the
attention.
As
we
talk
about
continuously
funding
it
about
how
you're
actually
measuring
success
and
and
quality
for
the
programming
itself.
Thank
you.
So
much.
B
Excuse
me:
a
third
change
item
for
economic
policy
and
development
is
$25,000
one
time
for
site
investigation
and
pre-development
work
for
the
african-american
museum
and
center
for
racial
healing.
The
idea
for
this
came
from
the
community.
It
will
be
located
in
the
historic
heart
of
the
African
America
community
in
Minneapolis,
and
it
could
be
a
home
for
our
mapping
prejudice
work.
B
The
museum
would
serve
to
remind
the
public
of
the
important,
very
important
role
that
African
Americans
play
in
our
city
and
remind
visitors
that
healing
still
needs
to
take
place
between
the
city
and
its
african-american
residents.
As
I
said,
the
funding
would
be
used
for
site
investigation
and
redevelopment
work.
B
Next
change
item
is
$100,000
one
time
for
MSP
techhire.
That's
an
existing
initiative
that
aligns
to
the
goals
of
diversifying
the
tech
workforce.
The
goal
in
priority
focuses
on
connecting
community
residents
to
work
and
career
opportunities
through
intense
and
accelerated
training
in
tech
skills.
So
this
recommendation
reflects
the
increased,
need
and
demand
for
more
tuition
support
dollars,
which
is
what
these
are
for.
2019.
B
Next
is
$100,000
one
time
for
the
Cedar
Riverside
Opportunity
Center.
You've
heard
us
stand
here
and
talk
about
this
fantastic
place
before
sit.
The
Opportunity
Center
is
a
key
driver
towards
economic
inclusion
in
the
West
Bank,
both
adults
and
youth,
and
it
has
received
one-time
funding
from
the
city
in
both
27
and
2018.
B
Next
is
$75,000
one
time
for
the
North
Minneapolis
Workforce
Center
at
800,
West
Broadway.
This
request
supports
programming
at
the
North
Minneapolis
Workforce
Center
that
aligns
to
the
goals
and
priorities
of
connecting
community
residents
to
work
and
career
opportunities,
and
it
fits
within
our
place-based
strategy,
along
with
the
Cedar
Riverside
Opportunity
Center
represents
specific
approaches
that
address
joblessness
through
collaboration
and
partnership.
D
Real
quick
before
we
move
on
from
workforce
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
quick
moment
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
work
force.
Team
I've
had
the
good
fortune
of
being
able
to
work
with,
particularly
folks
who
do
the
youth
employment,
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
shout
out
to
the
folks
who
do
the
good
work.
So
Anna
Peter
said
Therese
Harold
as
a
Teresa
Harrell
is
a
very
special
person.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
the
hard
work
and
the
great
results
that
we
see
from
the
youth
programming.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Our
next
division
is
development
services
represented
by
director
Steve,
poor
plus
managers,
Jason
Wittenberg
and
land
use,
design
and
preservation,
Brad,
Ellis
and
Zoning
administration
and
enforcement,
jeanine
ryan
in
the
customer
service
center
and
ken
stay
low
in
construction
code
services.
Our
new
building
official
and
the
first
change
item
here
is
one
FTE
for
a
new
planner,
the
basis
for
a
team
which
will
focus
on
regulatory
reform.
B
So
many
of
you
have
heard
me
say
after
the
comp
plan
is
adopted,
we
have
new
zoning
code
to
do
see
pet
has
some
existing
FTEs
and
resources
that
we
will
move
in
this
direction
and
we're
we're
requesting
here
an
additional
new
FTE
to
help
with
the
process.
Excuse
me
with
them
with
the
creation
of
the
new
zoning
code,
as
well
as
to
streamline
our
existing
processes
and
make
many
of
the
improvements
that
we
work
with
you
on.
We
think
it's
important
that
it's
not
within
the
existing
team.
B
C
You,
madam
chair
I,
think
this
is
reasonable
and
I
also
think
it's
notable
that,
after
six
or
seven
years
of
billion
dollars
worth
of
permits,
we
haven't
added
any
staffing
in
that
team
of
people.
That's
reviewing
the
current
development
projects.
I
know
that
team
has
shared
responsibility
for
having
up
until
now,
in
those
years
doing
both
zoning
code
amendments
many
that
I've
authored
as
well
as
do
that
plan
review
and
so
I
think
again,
it's
reasonable
to
think
about
overall,
adding
staff
capacity
to
a
team.
That's
been
stretched
really
thin.
B
The
last
one
for
us
is
more
or
less
a
housekeeping
item
we're
suggesting
transferring
the
funding
for
to
existing
FTEs
from
the
regular
Regulatory
Service
special
revenue
fund,
the
1900
fund
to
the
general
fund.
These
are
two
positions
which
bring
revenue
with
them
and
we
think
it
makes
more
sense
administratively
to
have
the
revenue
and
the
expense
be
in
general
fund
and
not
shared
between
CPD
and
regulatory
services.
This
is
a
holdover
from
when
reg
Services
was
put
in
different
places.
Some
years
back.
B
So
chair
Palmisano,
that's
the
end
of
our
presentation.
I
know
there
are
other
things
you'd
like
to
talk
about,
but
if
I
could
just
take
one
moment
to
say
a
big
thank
you
to
the
C
ped
staff,
both
sitting
here
and
back
at
the
office
for
all
their
work,
as
well
as
the
two
divisions
that
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
talk
about
and
brag
about
this
morning
long
range
planning
directed
director,
Heather
Worthington,
is
here
and
manager,
Paul
Mogis
and
operations
Karuna
Mahajan.
B
A
You
director,
you've
you've
had
a
audience
a
captive
audience
of
a
lot
of
Council
members,
but
then
there
is
a
lot
of
interest
in
this.
I
want
to
open
it
up
for
general
questions
about
the
seepage
sea,
fed
budget
specifically,
and
then
I
also
want
to
spend
a
few
minutes
on
diving
into
the
department
results
information
that
we
didn't.
Really
we
weren't
able
to
build
time
into
all
of
these
department
reports
to
talk
about.
Hopefully
in
the
future,
we
will
be
able
to
do
that,
and
then
we
have
a
staff
direction
at
the
end.
G
Thank
You,
chair
palmesano
I
also
want
to
thank
the
sea
bed
staff
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
hard
work
going
into
a
lot
of
different
programming
and
changes
that
we've
been
talking
about
so
far
this
year
and
then
we're
going
to
continue
to
talk
to
I.
Think
in
reacting
to
this
budget.
I
did
you
know,
I
think
these
budget
meetings
are
a
really
good
opportunity
for
people
to
really
get
an
understanding
of
where
our
money
is
being
spent
and
at
what
pace
and
what
kinds
of
investments
are
we
really
making
right?
G
There
sort
of
a
political
conversation
about
I
see
some
advocates
in
the
room
who
came
in
to
many
of
our
offices
and
said:
I
want
to
see
a
50
million
dollar
a
year.
Investment,
affordable
housing-
and
you
know
the
mayor
came
back
with
his
budget
and
said
we're
doing
that
we
came
up
with
40
million
dollars
and
then
you
know,
with
some
other
outside
sources
were
pulling
in
we're
getting
to
50
and
I.
G
Think
it's
important
for
us
to
create
clarity
for
the
advocates
who
are
asking
for
this
kind
of
big
investment
about
what
kind
of
investment
are
we
really
making?
Is
this
really
happening
in
the
way
that
we
I
think
it's
going
to
and
if
we're
accounting
for
what
looks
on
paper
like
a
40
million
dollar
investment,
and
it
is
a
40
million
dollar
transfer?
But
then
it's
going
to
be
spent
over
a
much
longer
period
of
time?
G
Should
we
be
reflecting
that
in
a
different
way,
so
that
people
can
see
the
investments
that
we're
making
an
affordable
housing,
and
even,
if
that
you
know
sort
of,
doesn't
meet
the
political
goals
of
communications
and
sort
of
the
way
we
would
like
to
talk
about
it?
Is
it
more
realistic
that
we're
spending
you
know
twenty
six
million
dollars
on
affordable
housing
in
2019
and
then
14
million
and
2020?
G
So,
for
my
part,
I
would
like
to
see
these
requests
budget
it
out
with
a
little
more
attention
to
when
we
think
we're
actually
going
to
spend
them
and
I'm,
not
sure
what
that
looks
like
I'm,
not
saying
this
was
done
and
appropriately
or
in
a
misleading
way.
I
don't
want
anybody
to
think
that
say,
I
think
in
the
way
we
budget
this
is.
We
are
allocating
that
money
this
year,
right
and
I
think
this
is
a
representation
of
what
we
allocate
but
I
I.
G
A
So
I
think
some
of
that
is
perhaps
even
a
question
for
mayor
Frey
in
his
office
if
they
would
like
to
kind
of
give
their
rationale,
I'm
thinking,
I,
don't
ask
you
director
Frank
to
represent
the
mayor's
thinking
on
that,
but
if
you
have
anything,
you'd
like
to
share
in
general
I
welcome
your
comments.
Madam.
B
Chair
and
indirectly
to
councilmember
Fletcher,
we
think
through
those
those
questions,
I
would
say
it
kind
of
depends.
What
next
year's
budget
format
looks
like
and
how
the
mayor
wants
to
represent
it
in
his
recommended
budget.
But
you
know
we
have
whiteboards
back
at
the
office
full
of
that
kind
of
thinking,
so
you
know
give
us
a
forum,
we'll
put
it
on
there.
I
didn't
mean
it
quite
like
right.
C
But
what
I'm
hearing
is
a
lot
of
interest
from
council
members
in
moving
towards
something
that
is
more
specific
into
a
longer
time
frame
than
one
year
as
we
think
about
how
to
build
sustainability
into
our
commitments
for
affordable
housing.
So
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
gone
into
this
so
far
and
I
know
at
some
point:
it's
just
our
job
as
policymakers
to
you
know
to
determine
what
approach
we
want
to
take
and
and
to
work
together
with
staff
to
bring
something
more
specific
forward.
If
that's
the
direction,
we
want
to
go.
A
Thank
you
any
other
general
comments
or
questions
I'm,
not
seeing
any
in
the
queue
I
do
want
to
mention
a
couple
questions
or
thoughts.
I
had
on
the
results,
Minneapolis
report
that
we
were
all
sent.
The
first
is
really
general
in
director.
I
just
want
your
own
sense.
You've
heard
how
very
important
and
very
critical
housing
is
to
everybody
up
here,
but
as
I
look
at
the
Department
results.
Minneapolis
work
I've
noticed
that
we've
spent
a
lot
more
on
the
built
environment
versus
Business,
Development
Bank,
around
services
and
I'm.
A
B
B
Take
it
I
would
say
thank
you
for
the
question
madam
chair
I
would
say
we
feel
generally
that
the
investments
that
we
are
making
based
on
the
budget
that
mayor's
have
recommended
and
councils
have
approved
are
the
right
ones.
If
we
thought
that
things
were
totally
out
of
whack,
we
would
raise
our
hands
and
say
so
right.
A
Thank
you,
as
we
dig
into
the
results,
Minneapolis
information
there's
the
section
on
affordable
housing,
development
and
I've
noticed
that
it
in
2017.
So
this
past
year
you
see
a
decrease
in
housing
and
I'm
curious.
What
is
happening
with
that
is
that
a
cost
of
housing
initiative
we've
been
able
to
do
less
in
production.
Do
you
see
this
as
being
a
trend?
I
have
a
feeling
it's
not
because
we
didn't
have
any
money
in
that
fund,
so
that
points
to
some
of
the
yeah
comments.
For
my
other
colleagues,
some.
B
We
are
going
to
make
great
progress
in
the
year,
we're
in
we
think
we'll
have
12
closings
in
calendar
2018
as
compared
to
like
three
or
four
or
five
or
something
the
previous
year
with
more
units,
including
many
more
units
serving
very
low-income
residents.
So
we're
going
to
start
making
much
better
progress
in
the
year
that
we're
in
and
we
believe
in
2019.
Also
so
good
news,
not
a
trend,
bad
news.
B
We
are
very
subject
in
this
world
to
other
financing
partners,
availability
of
our
own
funding,
availability
of
partner
funding
and
then
specifics
of
real
estate
projects,
even
12
projects,
which
is
a
lot
for
us
to
close
on
in
this
year
and
we're
very
proud
of
it
means
you're
very
exposed
to
you
know
if
one
of
those
gets
to
lay
that's
a
big
percentage,
so
I
would
say:
I
don't
put
too
much
weight
in
this
as
a
trend
and
what's
more,
it's
going
in
the
other
direction
in
the
year.
The
word
thank.
A
You
that's
helpful
and
yeah
these.
These
are
point
in
time
and
they
have
hard
finishes
on
December,
31st
and
I.
Appreciate
that
context.
It's
it's
very
helpful.
Another
piece
and
results
in
terms
of
homeownership
support
and
development.
I
was
just
speaking
with
my
colleague
here
about
this.
In
the
homeowner
support
and
development,
category
homebuyers
assisted
2015
to
2017.
B
Madam
chair
for
the
question
so
I'm,
looking
at
page
10
of
their
results
report,
the
in-depth
focus
on
home
ownership,
supporting
development
and
I
would
say
somewhat
similar,
though
of
course
different
to
my
answer
of
a
moment
ago
on
multifamily
production
right.
So
we
are
subject
to
how
fast
individual
development
projects
go,
how
much
money
is
available
and
as
we
try
new
things-
and
we
are
definitely
in
an
era.
A
K
You,
madam
chair,
and
perhaps
this
is
something
that
we
should
take
up
in
the
Housing
Committee,
so
I
don't
want
to
dedicate
a
lot
of
time.
We
all
know
that
housing
itself
were
one
piece
of
the
larger
puzzle,
so
I'm
wondering
if
there
should
or
could
be
a
conversation
with
regards
to.
If
we
increase
resources
on
our
piece
does
everything
else
come
along?
Are
there
more
tax
credits
at
the
9%
and
4%
level?
Are
there
more
bonds?
Is
there
more
debt
available?
Are
there
enough
support
services?
Are
there
enough
rental
subsidies?
K
Are
there
enough
supports
for
people
with
mental
illness?
Come
codependency
or
chronic
homelessness?
9%
tax
credit
projects
require
that
kind
of
service.
So
my
fear
is
that
were
the
only
ones
kind
of
increasing
the
amount
of
money
that
we
put
in
yet
all
of
the
partners
down
the
line
are
not,
and
so
it's
kind
of
a
hollow
promise
that
we
can't
get
everybody
else
to
go
along
with
us.
K
I
don't
see
the
feds
moving
along
with
us,
the
state
might
or
might
not,
based
on
the
governor's
recommendations,
I
wonder
about
the
CDC's:
do
they
have
increased
ability
to
produce
more
housing?
Do
the
the
for-profit
certainly
are
looking
at
any
way
possible
to
get
around
our
20
25
and
30
year
requirement
everyone's
demanding
that
the
city
pay
for
the
increase
in
costs,
steel
production
tariffs?
All
of
these
other
things
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
have
a
conversation
about
reality
sometime
in
the
Housing
Committee
and
try
to
set
expectations.
K
I
know
that
our
good
friends
in
the
nonprofit
community
completely
understand
that
spending
50
million
on
our
end
does
nothing
if
no
one
else
comes
up
with
their
share.
But
when
you
look
at
results,
we're
a
very
small
piece
of
the
pie
and
the
result
that
points
to
me.
The
most
is
how
much
money
we
leveraged
and
if
you
look
at
how
much
money
we
put
in
versus
how
much
is
leveraged,
you
see
the
ratio
of
what
we
do
compared
to
everybody
else,
and
it
looks
to
me.
K
14
million
of
247
million
is
what
less
than
10
percent
of
what
everyone
else
is
spending
in
various
debt
and
equity
options.
So
I
feel
like
there's
a
little
bit
of
pressure
for
us
to
do
more,
but
no
pressure
on
anyone
else
to
do
more,
which
eventually
will
skew
our
results.
And
don't
you
think
it's
worth
talking
about
that
at
some
point
versus
focusing
on
some
fake
40
million
50
million
dollar
number
that
in
and
of
itself
is
not
going
to
produce
the
kinds
of
results
we
need.
A
We
do
have
a
staff
direction
that
is
being
passed
out.
I
believe
that
does
talk
about
some
another
conversation
that
we
would
like
to
get
more
information
on
and
bring
back
to
the
Housing
Committee
I
think
this
is
also
a
really
worthwhile
one.
It's
also
one
that,
as
we
look
at
the
results
data,
we
try
to
be
really
specific
as
to
what
we
can
control,
which
is
what
we're
doing
with
our
city
resources.
But
that's
not
to
say
there
is
a
null
landscape
here
and
we
are
just
one
piece
of
the
puzzle.
A
It
sounds
like
I
can
just
count
on
councilmembers,
Gordon
and
Goodman
to
work
that
out
between
them
for
a
future
potential
agenda
on
the
Housing
Committee
I
do
have
one
additional
question
on
the
results,
information
and
then
I'd
like
to
do
the
staff
direction
for
the
business
development.
Part
of
your
results,
information
for
B
tap.
A
B
Madam
chair,
thanks
for
thanks
for
asking
what
I
believe
Daniel
would
say
if
you
were
here
to
tell
summer
Cunningham's
question
from
earlier
is
we
are
full
committed,
I
mean
in
all
of
our
programs,
but
fully
committed
in
be
tap
and
Daniel,
and
miles
have
done
great
work
to
accomplish
this
serving
as
many
business
people
of
color
as
possible.
So
I
would
urge
not
reading
too
much
into
one
year's
decrease
in
people
of
color
served
with
our
be
tap
program
and
instead
say
we
have
redoubled
our
efforts
and
will
continue
to
produce
the
best
results.
B
A
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out:
I,
don't
see
other
people
in
queue
with
general
questions
or
results
based
questions
or
feedback.
So
at
this
point
in
time,
I'm
going
to
entertain
a
motion
by
councilmember
Schrader,
that's
before
you
and
copies
are
with
the
clerk
and
I'll
I'll.
Just
let
councilmember
Schrader
himself
queue
this
up.
Nope.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
I'm
bringing
forward
a
motion
to
talk
about
creating
or
finding
a
dedicated
source
of
funding
for
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
as
you've
heard
today,
there's
a
lot
of
kind
of
increased
interest
in
putting
more
money
toward
housing.
But
it's
an
it's
important
to
note
that
it's
were
in
a
housing
crisis
right
now
that
was
created
because
we
didn't
invest
earlier
on.
There
was
no
constant
decades
ago
having
a
dedicated
source
of
funding
is
something
the
governor's
Task
Force
on
housing
has
recommended
something.
F
The
mayor's
task
force's
house
has
recommended,
and
frankly,
every
task
force
that
we've
had
for
the
last
couple
decades
has
recommended
having
a
dedicated
source
of
funding,
and
that's
because
we
need
to
have
some
floor
to
stand
on.
We
need
to
have
some
constant
that
the
city
developers
and
others
can
really
look
toward
to
know.
If
we're
going
to
put
100
would
put
10
million
in
every
year.
E
B
F
24Th
detailing
their
exploration
of
a
dedicated
source
of
funding
for
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
identifying
the
following
two
more
potential
sources
of
city,
controlled
funding,
separate
from
federal
state,
county
or
philanthropic
funding,
and
how
much
each
source
would
raise
the
annually
the
viability
of
an
enterprise
fund
for
affordable
housing
and
the
opportunity
identifying.
So
my
two
opportunities
to
work
with
the
home
for
all
can
statewide,
affordable
housing
coalition
to
expand
our
application
of
funding
tools
used,
expand
the
tools
that
are
used
that
other
jurisdictions
use
successfully
to
address
the
housing
crisis.
F
For
my
colleagues,
I
worked
with
the
CFO
as
well
as
director
Frank,
to
really
come
up
with
this
language.
It
reflects
a
lot
of
work,
that's
already
happening
with
within
the
department,
as
well
as
in
the
mayor's
office,
as
well
as
kind
of
on
the
ground.
With
advocates
what
I'm,
really
hoping
for
on
the
24th
is
not
a
very
I
guess,
work
intensive
report,
something
as
I'm
looking
for
something
that
can
really
get
us
all
on
the
same
page,
to
reflect
on
what
work
is
there?
F
What
work
has
already
been
done
and
what
our
options
are
from?
This
this
is
work
that
I
did
before
coming
to
Council
and
I
can
tell
you
that
the
address
the
bullet
point,
one
there's,
there's
very
few
funding
sources
that
the
city
has
control
over,
that
we
can
use
to
use
as
a
dedicated
source
of
funding,
and
we
need
to
start
having
those
hard
conversations.
F
The
second
one
is
to
really
talk
about
what
would
it
be
to
dedicate
a
source
of
funding
for
affordable
housing
and
the
financial
risks
that
come
with
that
and
three
to
really
work
with
our
partners,
which
the
city
has
a
history
of
doing
to
expand
the
amount
of
the
kind
of
financial
tools
that
we'll
have
to
fund
this
affordable
housing,
work,
I,
think
the
journalists
and
for
any
questions.
Thank.
A
You
are
there
any
questions
on
councilmember
Schrader's
staff
directive.
I
did
put
myself
in
queue.
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
hearing,
something
that
councilmember
Schrader
mentioned
earlier
about
other
cities
in
Minnesota
that
have
dedicated
funds.
I
would
be
also
interested
within
this
report
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
I
think
I
know
that
Red
Wing
does,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
I
think
that
Goodhue
County
and
st.
A
Paul
are
in
conversation
about
that
and,
to
my
knowledge,
the
Hennepin
County
trust
fund
is
not
dedicated
that
I
know
of
but
I
just
like
to
better
understand
some
of
the
things
that
you
mentioned
earlier,
because
that
was
somewhat
new
to
me.
So
without
any
further
questions
from
colleagues,
so
I'll
ask
us
to
vote
on
this
motion
by
councilmember
Schrader.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
that
carries.
I
also
want
to
vote
to
receive
and
file
this
thoughtful
presentation,
and
thank
you
and
your
team
for
all
the
time.
A
This
morning,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
CPD
receiving
and
filing
this
presentation,
please
say
aye
I,
thank
you
that
carries
and
as
a
point
of
information,
we
did
have
Jeff
Johnson
from
the
convention
center
waiting
here.
But
given
we
are
at
the
time
that
we
previously
said
we
would
pause
for
a
hour-long
break.
He
has
agreed
to
instead
come
back
and
start
us
off
at
1:00
p.m.
I.
Don't
think
that
will
be
a
problem
for
our
afternoon
program,
but
I
appreciate
his
flexibility.
