Thank
You,

Asami

don't
need
to
pull
it
out
for
discussion,
but
I
just
wanted
to
lift
up
the
community
solar
garden
work.
That's
happening.
It's
really
exciting
to
see
our
city
kind
of
walking
the
talk
when
we
talk
about
a
hundred
percent
renewable
and
making
some
big
investments
on
some
of
our
city-owned
properties.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
the
city.
Staff
were
involved
in
making
that
happen
and
excited
to
be
generating
more
renewable
energy.
All.
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much,
councilmember
Fletcher,
any
other
questions
or
queries
with
regards
to
the
consent
item.
Seeing
none
I
move
approval
of
all
22
consent
items,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
those
against
those
items
have
been
approved
and
now
the
interesting
part
of
our
agenda
today
and
which
is
item,
number
the
discussion
items
which
is
item
number
23
and
24.
A
We
will
start
with
item
number
23,
which
is
the
agreement
with
the
Minneapolis
local,
organizing
organizing
committee
for
the
2019
National
Collegiate
Athletic,
Association
Division,
one
men's
basketball
or
the
Final
Four,
and
we
have
today
Brittany
Allen
as
well
as
mr.
Tom
McGinnis
and
we'll
start
with
Brittany
go
ahead.
Chair.
C
First
of
all,
why
do
we
host
to
the
Final
Four?
Here
are
some
main
points
which
I
like
to
generate
economic
activity
for
our
city
and
during
the
Final
Four
weekend
the
city
will
be
buzzing
with
both
with
regional,
national
and
even
international
visitors.
A
lot
we
would
like
to
align
our
investment
of
public
and
private
dollars
in
sports
venues,
hospitality
and
transit
infrastructure
by
showcasing
our
world-class
facilities.
Here
in
Minneapolis,
we
create
valuable
media
exposure,
both
national
and
international,
to
help
sell
the
market
and
to
help
sell
and
market
the
destination.
C
C
One
of
the
also
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
host
the
final
four
is
we'd
like
to
strengthen
our
partnership
with
the
University
of
Minnesota
and
the
NCAA,
and
we
have
a
pretty
good
book
of
business
coming
up
in
the
next
few
years
of
NCAA
Championships.
As
you
can
see,
and
2018
will
host
the
women's
volleyball
championship,
2020
the
men's
wrestling
championship,
2021
men's
basketball,
regional
and
recently
announced
in
2022
the
women's
basketball
Final
Four,
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
introduce
Tom
McGinnis
senior,
associate
athletic
director
at
the
University
of
Minnesota.
D
Thank
You
Brittany
Thank
You.
Mr.
chairman
members
of
the
committee,
as
Brittany
mentioned.
Obviously,
we've
got
a
large
number
of
championships,
we've
hosted
and
over
the
past
couple
years,
as
well
as
something
will
be
hosting
into
the
future,
very
excited
about
the
recent
announcement
of
the
2022
women's
basketball,
Final
Four,
coming
to
our
community,
as
well
as
the
volleyball
championship.
This
December
pretty
mentioned
a
number
of
reasons.
D
The
championships
also
provide
a
unique
opportunity
for
our
students,
as
well
as
our
staff,
to
have
unique,
wonderful,
professional
experiences,
as
well
as
practical
educational
experiences
that
they
can
use
through
the
planning
and
execution
in
these
events.
And
finally,
but
most
importantly,
we
hold
out
hope
that
maybe
one
of
our
teams
gets
a
home
court
advantage
in
one
of
these
championships.
D
Last
fall
staff
from
the
n-c-double-a
met
with
faculty
from
across
our
campus
to
and
provide
them
information
about
how
they
can
include
certain
aspects
of
the
planning
and
execution
of
this
event
and
curriculum
of
their
classes.
Just
last
week,
some
staff
members,
actually
last
months
and
members
from
the
n-c-double-a
met
with
students
and
a
couple
of
our
classes
and
served
as
guest
speakers
and
we're
actually
creating
a
class
in
spring
semester,
specifically
focused
on
hosting
major
events
and
tourism
in
our
community
and
they'll
use
the
Final
Four
as
a
basis
for
that
class.
D
We're
also
sharing
these
opportunities
with
the
universities
and
colleges
in
the
metro
area.
Last
week
we
met
with
the
university
our
representatives
from
a
number
of
the
Division
two
and
Division
three
universities
sharing
with
them
ways
their
staff
and
their
students
can
also
be
engaged
with
the
Final
Four.
We
feel
this
connection
with
colleges
and
universities
here
in
the
metro
area
is
key
as
it
relates
to
the
Final
Four.
The
model
for
college
athletics
is
fairly
unique
when
compared
to
many
the
other
major
events
we've
hosted
in
our
community.
D
Recently,
the
revenue
generated
from
the
Final
Four
not
only
supports
the
60
teams
that
will
be
selected
to
the
March
Madness
bracket,
but
also
generates
the
majority
of
the
revenue
to
support
the
other
89
Championships
that
the
NC
double-a
hosts
over
half
a
million
student
athletes
compete
in
college
athletics
in
the
division.
One
two
and
three
level
at
over
1,100
colleges
and
universities
over
50,000
of
them
earned
the
opportunity
to
compete
in
these
90
championships.
D
The
success
of
the
Final
Four
not
only
creates
the
opportunity
for
the
four
teams
to
travel
to
Minneapolis
this
April,
but
has
also
allowed
the
NCAA
to
support
the
University
of
Minnesota's
women's
hockey
team
and
they
won
back-to-back
national
championships
in
12
and
13
and
14
and
15,
but
also
the
division.
Three
national
championship,
football
team
in
2016,
plus
st.
Thomas
University
and
the
Concordia
st.
Paul
women's
volleyball
team
has
won
an
unprecedented
nine
Division,
two
women's
volleyball
national
championships.
D
C
Thanks
Tom
here
are
some
basic
information
about
the
the
2019
Final
Four.
It
will
be
from
April
5th
to
the
8th,
but
we
expect
most
of
our
guests
will
arrive
as
early
as
Wednesday
April
3rd
and
depart
Tuesday,
April
9th
after
the
championship
game
on
Monday
nights.
We
expects
a
press,
approximately
90,000
visitors
and
those
visitors
will
include
basketball
fans,
college
fans
and
their
their
pride
will
be
a
very
apparent
as
they
walk
through
the
streets
of
Minneapolis.
C
We
expect
all
9,000
hotel
ones
in
Minneapolis
to
be
full
and
they'll
all
have
a
four
night
minimum
stay.
This
is
a
walking
and
transit
final.
Four,
with
all
the
events
conveniently
located
downtown.
We
expect
visitors
and
rhetta's
residents
to
fully
use
a
lot
utilize.
Our
world-class
transit
system,
as
well
as
walk
through
our
beautiful
downtown
here,
are
some
numbers
for
you
related
to
the
Final
Four.
C
We
expect
a
hundred
and
forty
two
million
dollars
in
estimated
economic
impact
for
the
Twin
Cities
region
about
twenty
three
million
people
will
view
the
championship
game
on
that
Monday
evening,
leading
up
to
the
Final
Four.
97
million
people
will
watch
the
tournament
will
watch
the
road
to
Minneapolis
and
the
games
will
be
broadcasted
in
a
hundred
and
eighty
countries,
as
we
mentioned,
the
University
of
Minnesota
is
a
great
partner
of
ours.
In
this
event,
as
is
a
few
other
organizations,
the
MS
FA,
of
course,
the
owner
of
US
Bank
Stadium,
is
heavily
involved.
C
The
Minneapolis
local
organizing
committee
is
a
group
of
locals
set
up
to
help
coordinate
all
the
stakeholders,
as
well
as
make
sure
there's
a
lasting
impact
within
our
community.
Meet
Minneapolis,
of
course,
is
a
big
player.
They
brought
the
helped,
bring
the
event
here
and
they
will
also
make
sure
it
goes
off
without
a
hitch
and,
lastly,
of
course,
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
will
play
our
standard
role
of
providing
public
safety
permitting
licensing
and
other
activities
that
we
do
to
support
of
it.
C
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
some
of
those
community
initiatives
that
I
mentioned
education
is
one
of
the
keys
and
reached
the
final
floor
is
one
of
their
signature
programs
reach
to
the
final
four
is
a
year
long
and
reading
initiative
for
Minnesota
third
graders
nine
Minneapolis
schools
are
participating
in
over
600
students.
Free
this
program
provides
free
access
to
thousands
of
high
quality
digital
books
and,
as
you
can
see,
both
mayor's
in
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul
are
really
excited
about
the
program
as
well.
C
Here's
a
quick
overview
of
the
events
related
to
the
final
form.
We
have
final
for
Friday
u.s.,
Bank
Stadium,
it's
a
free
event.
All
four
teams
will
practice
and
will
be
a
college
all-star
game.
So
that
will
really
be
our
community
day
in
the
stadium.
People
will
be
able
to
see
the
football
stadium
transformed
into
a
basketball
arena.
Fan
fests
will
be
at
the
Minneapolis
Convention
Center.
It's
a
low
cost
family-friendly
event
with
activities.
Autographs
will
also
hold
the
NABC
conference.
C
C
March
Madness
music
series
will
feature
three
days
of
concerts
in
the
armory.
These
will
be
ALS
Talent
at
a
low
cost.
Ticket
will
also
be
a
free
event
on
Nicollet
Mall,
from
8th
to
12th
streets
and
of
labor's
still
working
out
lots
of
plans
for
that,
but
that
will
be
a
fun,
exciting
event
to
be
a
part
of
as
well
and
then.
Lastly,
but
not
least,
the
games
to
semi-final
games
on
April
6th
and
the
championship
game
will
be
the
evening
of
April
8th
at
us.
Thanks
to
you
here
are
the
financial
pieces
of
this.
C
The
Final
Four
is
an
event
that
needs
additional
time
and
resources.
Over
and
above,
what's
normally
included
in
department
budgets
departments
prepared
estimates
of
additional
expenses
that
are
in
excess
of
those
regular
budgets
for
the
specifically
for
they
identified
final
four
events
that
I
mentioned.
The
costs
are
largely
for
staff
over
time
use
of
the
Minneapolis
Convention
Center
right
away,
use
fees
and
meter
hooding
fees.
These
other
enterprise
functions
include
support
from
the
fire
department,
health
department,
traffic
control,
fire
inspections,
MACC
and
IOC,
and
Jake
operations,
and
so
those
funding
sources
are
1.5
million.
C
And
here
are
the
elements
of
the
contract
with
the
local
organizing
committee.
It
addresses
funding
and
services
and
support
for
those
final,
four
events
as
I
mentioned,
and
there
will
be
other
events
outside
those
official
events,
but
not
nearly
as
many
as
we
saw
for
Super
Bowl
and
they
will
pay
all
of
their
expenses
directly.
They
wouldn't
be
a
part
of
this
contract.
There's
a
provision
in
the
contract
for
change
orders
in
case
things,
significantly
change
90%
of
the
funds
paid
from
the
local
organizing
committee
will
be
received
prior
to
the
event
even
going
off.
E
F
B
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
so
in
the
funding
sources,
it
looks
like
we've
been
a
little
bit
conservative
in
calculating
that
because
we're
not
calculating
things
like
permanent
revenue,
parking
revenue,
other
things
that
we
expect
to
come
in.
So
we've
left
ourselves
a
little
bit
of
room
if
there
were
overages
or
if
there
were
surprises
that
were
we're
playing.
That's
pretty
conservatively,
which
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
I
appreciate
make
sure
I'm
understanding
that
correctly,
but
I
think
that
that's
the
right
approach
as
we
go
into
this
event.
Sure.
C
A
A
H
You
mr.
chair,
well,
it's
not
really
questionnaires
just
the
comments
on
the
motion
to
approve,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
their
work
on
this,
especially
getting
the
fundraising
numbers
as
high
as
you
have
I
know.
That
was
a
lot
of
effort
and
a
lot
of
work
to
do
that.
I'm
really
excited
that
the
events
gonna
be
a
mini
app
I,
really
appreciate
it
I'm
guessing
this
is
gonna
pass
I
personally
going
to
vote
no
and
the
reason
why
is
around
the
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
coming
from
the
downtown
assets
fund?
H
We
have
a
lot
of
other
events
at
ticketed
venues
sites
all
across
the
city
that
generate
entertainment,
tax
revenue
and
we
do
not
take
that
funding
and
then
subsidize
those
events,
that's
my
understanding
of
it
and
at
the
Downtown
asset
fund
is
really
there
to
support
our
downtown
assets
from
the
Target
Center
to
the
Convention
Center
to
PV,
Plaza,
and
so
for
me
personally.
I
just
can't
support
the
subsidy
for
this
event,
if
we're
not
able
to
give
similar
subsidies
for
all
the
other
events,
including
our
small,
independent,
locally
owned
venues
that
are
out
there.
H
G
C
F
Like
mr.
chair
council,
vice
president
Jenkins,
it's
important
to
note
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
its
Brittany
mentioned.
We
have
an
additional
1.2
million
dollars
as
a
conservative
estimate
on
additional
local
sales
taxes
that
was
projected
to
be
anticipated
to
be
received.
From
this
event,
those
dollars
are
not
allocated
towards
any
direct
payments
for
any
services,
so
it
falls
into
the
category
of
what
councilmember
Fletcher
mentioned
as
additional
revenues
on
top
of
it.
F
If
you
recall
the
entertainment
tax
was
not
received
by
the
Superbowl
as
a
state
law,
there
was
not
just
a
no
entertainment
taxes
on
the
tickets,
but
also
no
sales,
taxes
at
a
state
or
local
level,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
comparison
of
events,
certainly
we
consider
the
final
four
well
not
as
large
as
an
impact
of
as
the
Super
Bowl.
It
is
certainly
larger
than
any
other
event
we
have
had
in
Minneapolis,
and
so
I
would
put
both
the
Super
Bowl
in
the
final
four
in
two
areas
of
exceptions
and
I.
F
Think
it's
important
to
underline
what
mr.
McGinnis
highlighted,
which
is
when
we
have
things
like
the
NCAA
volleyball
tournament
coming
to
town.
As
it
is
in
December,
they
pay
all
of
the
costs.
You
know
they
don't
ask
for
a
subsidy,
and
so
we
see
the
benefit
of
the
Final.
Four
is
really
a
long-term
relationship
with
the
NCAA,
where
we
can
draw
people
into
Minneapolis
that
we
can
provide
some
of
these
dollars
for
not
just
our
larger
schools,
but
our
smaller
schools
that
exist
around
the
metropolitan
area.
F
So
I
think
we
full
up
fully
appreciate
this
and
fully
appreciate
councilmember
Johnson's
comments.
We
just
want
you
to
know
that
this
is
not
a
habit
that
we
anticipate
getting
into.
We
see
it
as
as
an
event
that
a
number
of
years
ago
we
submitted
a
bed
with
our
partners,
and
these
were
the
budgets
that
were
laid
out.
Certainly
Kate
Mortensen
is
here
from
the
local
organizing
committee.
We
were
we
have
raised,
or
they
have
raised
probably
close
to
twice
as
much
as
what
was
originally
anticipated
for
the
budget.
F
For
this
event,
so
I
think
it's.
You
know
contact
I'm,
just
trying
to
contextualize
some
of
those
comments,
because
we
do
take
the
economics
of
these
and
the
equity
of
them
very
seriously,
but
feel
like
this
is
something
rather
extraordinary
that
we
should
both
celebrate,
but
also
place
into
a
separate
category
from
other
events,
and
they
occur
in
the
future.
That
helps
thank.
B
B
So
you
know,
for
me,
I
think
I
feel
pretty
comfortable
with
the
very
specific
sort
of
one-for-one
tax
revenue
from
those
tickets.
Going
into
this
event,
as
the
closest
thing
that
the
city
does
to
generally
subsidizing
this
and
any
you
know
meaningful
way,
but
I
do
just
want
to
lift
up
that
there
are
investments
being
made
in
through
the
Stadium
Authority
that
will
expand
our
future
capacity
to
do
indoor
events
like
the
volleyball
tournaments
and
other
things
that
there
are
investments
being
made
in
the
convention
center.
B
C
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much.
Any
other
questions
or
comments.
Okay,
move
this
item
for
approval,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
all
those
against
the
item
has
passed.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
Brittany
and
mr.
McGinnis,
and
now
we
have
the
final
item,
which
is
item
number
24
and
I.
A
Expanded
I
mean-
and
the
second
resolution
again
is
by
myself-
declaring
the
official
intent
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
reimburse
certain
expenditures
from
the
proceeds
of
tax
exempt
bonds
to
be
issued
by
the
city
and
I
have
to
do
the
presentation.
Our
budget
director,
mr.
mica
internal
Michael,.
I
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I
will
speak
to
the
underlying
amendment
or
see
the
underlying
resolution
included
on
the
printed
agenda,
as
well
as
the
first
walk
on
resolution
that
you've
mentioned
neighborhood
revitalization
purpose
and
then
mr.
Frank
and
mr.
Lutz
are
here
from
see
pet
to
speak
to
the
third
resolution
or
the
second
walk-on,
as
well
as
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding,
which
constitutes
the
the
other
actions
necessary
listed
under
number
two
of
the
agenda
item.
I
So
the
the
first
first
resolution
amends
the
2018
budget
authorizing
si
ped
to
spend
up
to
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
development
of
the
navigation
Center,
to
the
extent
that
cost
of
development
are
eligible
for
TIF
dollar
expenditure,
they
will
be
so
TIF
dollars
will
be
expended.
First,
to
the
extent
that
costs
are
not
eligible
for
TIF
dollar
use,
then
those
costs
would
be
paid
for
by
dollars
that
had
originally
been
general
fund
dollars
which
were
transferred
to
the
pension
funds
to
provide
some
a
bit
of
a
cash
cushion
several
years
ago.
I
There's
no
longer
a
need
for
that
cash
cushion.
So
we're
recalling
those
general
fund
dollars
to
be
used
again.
For
this
purpose,
the
the
your
resolution
itself
also
requires
finance
and
property
services
staff
to
report
back
to
this
committee
on
how
much
was
spent
both
in
total
and
also
from
each
source,
so
that
there's
clarity
by
year
and
as
to
what
actually
happened
in
order
to
develop
the
navigation
Center.
J
Those
are
two
the
bond
reimbursement
resolution
more
on
that
in
a
few
minutes
and
then
our
negotiated
and
memorandum
of
understanding
with
Red
Lake
for
the
use
of
their
property.
Okay.
So
that's
the
high
level.
What
we're
asking
for
so
just
a
quick
recap.
I
know
we
all
remember,
but
it's
worth
saying
again,
this
site
at
21:09
cedar
is
about
an
acre
and
a
quarter.
This
the
property
is
bisected
by
another
private
property
ownership,
the
cedar
box
company-
and
it
includes
this
acre
and
a
quarter.
J
The
Red
Lake
nation
parcels
and
some
city-owned
parcels
and
some
to
be
city
owned
parcels
I'll
describe
in
a
few
minutes,
it's
zoned
orz,
so
residential
is
permitted
and
the
site
is
not
remediated,
so
we're
gonna
spend
time
today.
I
know
and
we've
spent
time
at
previous
committee
meetings,
speaking
about
the
environmental
condition,
so
we'll
come
back
to
that
as
well.
It
is
close
geographically
to
the
current
encampment,
which
we
understand
to
be
important.
It
is
immediately
adjacent
to
the
Franklin
Avenue
Station
on
the
blue
line.
J
We
have
formed
a
terrific
working
partnership
with
the
Red
Lake
nation
and
their
development
team,
many
of
whom
are
here
today.
The
site
is
not
immediately
adjacent
to
a
residential
neighborhood
and
the
housing
won't
be
available.
The
navigation
Center
won't
be
available
until
the
beginning
of
December,
okay
and
then,
as
a
reminder,
the
affordable
housing
project
that
Red
Lake
is
pursuing
needs
the
site
back
at
the
end
of
May,
so
December
through
May
is
six
months
that
the
navigation
Center
will
operate
in
this
location.
J
Here's
an
update
as
city
coordinator
briefed
the
Enterprise
Committee
and
much
more
at
the
Housing
Policy
and
Development
Committee
next
week.
We
believe
we
have
an
operator
for
the
navigation
Center.
The
team
is
meeting
this
week
to
work
out
the
details
and
we
expect
that
we'll
have
lots
more
information
for
forth
for
that
committee
for
HPD
next
week.
So
let
me
spend
any
questions
on
the
overall
I
know.
You
know
this
just
wanted
to
make
sure.
We've
all
heard
it
recently
great
so
to
the
appropriation
of
funds
that
Myka
just
mentioned.
J
It's
worth,
noting
that,
should
you
choose
to
give
this
appropriation
that
we
will
then
use
standard
city
rules
to
enter
into
the
contracts
to
accomplish
this
work,
with
the
exception
of
the
procurement
exact
rules,
exemption
that
you
gave
us
last
time
also
and
here's
a
noticeable
updates.
We
found
out
just
days
ago
that
the
trailer
provider
we've
been
working
with
will
not
allow
us
to
use
their
trailers
for
residential
purposes,
which
this
will
be.
J
We
have
been
working
on
the
basis
that
this
provider
understood
and
did
understand
that
these
classroom
trailers
would
be
used
for
residential
purposes
that
people
would
be
sleeping
in
them,
and
we
now
understand
very
clearly
that
they
will
not
allow
that
use
for
a
trailer
rental.
So
we
have
several
other
several
other
options
that
we
are
looking
into
quickly
and
I
will
just
name
those
and
then
I
expect
that
there'll
be
some
questions.
So
there
are
other
trailer
providers
and
we
are
exploring
that.
J
We
have
heard
interest
from
community
members
and
some
of
you
about
what
are
called
sprung
structures,
that's
the
name
of
a
company
and
it
picked
a
tennis
bubble.
We
are
looking
into
that
and
also
a
manufacturer
called
man
camp
which
is
available
for
workers
in
North
Dakota
having
it's
done
being
used
for
workers
in
North
Dakota
and
is
similar
in
some
ways
to
trailers
which
are
connected
to
each
other.
So
there's
a
series
of
things
we're
looking
into,
but
the
trailer
provider
we
have
been
working
with
and
remember.
J
J
Questions
on
that
before
I,
keep
going
any
questions.
Okay,
keep
going!
Thank
you.
Mica
mentioned
the
consolidated
tax
increment
Resolution,
which
allows
us
to
use
that
funding
source
for
for
most
of
the
cost,
at
least
most
of
the
cost
of
what
we're
proposing
to
do
here.
Let
me
spend
a
minute
on
the
bond
reimbursement
resolution,
so
this
is
another
of
our
walk-on
items.
So
it
should
you
say
yes
to
this,
and
we
recommend
that
you
do.
J
This
protects
the
eligibility
of
any
City
paid
expenses
for
the
permanent
housing
project
and
we
don't
think
there
will
be
any,
but
just
in
case
there
are
which
are
spent
in
advance
of
closing
on
that
project
can
be
reimbursed
from
the
future
bond
proceeds.
Okay.
So
if
we
have
a
circumstance
that
we
don't
foresee
where,
where
we've
spent
some
money,
that's
eligible
to
be
reimbursed
by
those
bond
proceeds,
this
resolution
says
that's
okay.
J
So
let
me
talk
for
a
few
minutes
about
the
negotiated
through
the
great
work
of
Chuck
lots:
the
Memorandum
of
Understanding
with
Red
Lake.
So
you
have
it
in
front
of
you.
It's
posted
online,
just
the
high-level
structure
of
it.
So
we've
negotiated
this
MoU
with
an
entity
called
our
LBC
Franklin
station
LLC.
It
outlines
the
responsibilities
of
the
parties
in
building
out
the
navigation
Center,
as
well
as
other
actions.
The
city
would
take
to
support
the
ultimate
Housing
Development,
the
one
that
starts
in
June
at
the
end
of
May.
J
The
MOU
leads
to
the
site
that
you
have
selected
for
the
navigation
Center
being
available
for
it.
There
are
three
phases:
the
total
city
costs
are
is
the
1.5.
We
expect
that
you're
we're
asking
you
to
appropriate
today:
phase
1
for
initial
site,
prep,
moving
out
the
tenant,
removing
asbestos,
demolishing
the
structures,
grading
and
blacktopping
the
site
demolition
would
begin
right
away.
Some
demolition
activities
are
already
underway,
and
the
city's
costs
in
this
first
phase
would
be
some
four
hundred
and
thirty
five
thousand
dollars.
J
Okay,
this
work
would
be
done
by
Red,
Lakes
general
contractor
for
the
housing
project
phase.
Two
is
the
architecture
and
engineering
costs
related
to
the
layout
of
the
structures,
hooking
up
the
structures
to
utilities,
the
procurement
of
the
structures,
and
we
would
contract
for
this
work
directly
and
I
should
mention
here
that
the
architecture
and
engineering
firm
who
were
using
is
called
full
circle.
Indigenous
planning.
J
Two
is
some
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
phase
three
is
removing
the
structures,
removing
the
blacktop
and
preparing
to
hand
the
site
back
for
the
housing
development,
also
in
the
MOU
just
a
few
more
things,
the
once
there's
an
operator
and
again
we
think
we
have
an
operator
and
much
more
at
HPD
committee
next
week
the
city
would
sublease
to
the
operator
to
provide
the
property
management
and
the
services
on
the
site.
Now
here's
the
the
additional
city
property
I
mentioned
in
conjunction
with
our
own
preliminary
development
review
process
for
the
housing
project.
J
We
will
recommend
that
the
city
vacate
the
alley
on
the
block,
as
well
as
the
turn
back
from
the
state
of
Minnesota,
do
T
MnDOT,
which
is
at
the
south,
and
that
with
those
properties,
would
be
available
to
Red
Lake
adjacent
to
their
property
and
adjacent
to
the
housing
project.
So
this
is
described
in
the
MOU,
as
is
the
last
thing.
I'll
mention
that
the
MOU
describes
rent
for
the
site
in
the
amount
equal
to
the
first
half
of
2019
property
taxes,
so
about
$28,000
is
rent
from
us
from
the
city
to
Red
Lake.
J
A
J
Chair
great
questions,
so
we
believe
that
within
the
budget
that
the
appropriation
that
we're
suggesting
that
you,
the
money
we
suggest
to
appropriate
today,
that
we
can
make
the
other
options
work
within
the
same
amount
of
money
and
if
not,
we
would
come
back
to
you
and
ask
for
some
additional
funds.
Thank.
H
You
mr.
chair
I
do
have
a
question
if
it's
now's
the
time
to
ask
about
the
resolution
here.
So
maybe
this
is
a
question
for
mr.
ruff
or
for
mr.
interval,
but
this
resolution
declaring
the
navigation
center
project,
is
a
neighborhood
revitalization
purpose
blowing
from
the
consolidated
refight
a
redevelopment,
TIF
district
funds.
F
Sheru
Sami
council
member
Johnson
good
question.
The
short
answer
is
no.
It
is
not
taken
away
from
any
current
funding
for
neighborhoods
and
in
fact,
if
you
recall
within
the
last
two
years,
there
has
also
been
a
repayment
of
funding
that
had
early
but
earlier
had
been
lesser
amount
in
previous
years.
Georgia
some
budget
constraints
that
is
now
being
repaid
so
what's
happened
is
the
consolidate.
F
If
district
because
of
its
location,
part
of
downtown
and
part
of
Uptown,
the
market
values
have
increased
such
that
we
just
have
more
TIF
revenue
than
was
anticipated
and
originally
in
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
that
if
revenue
was
being
directed
toward
2019
housing,
affordable
housing
efforts,
we
are
planning
on
using
the
consolidated
TIF
money
for
the
costs
that
mr.
Frank
mentioned,
and
then
we
will
use
other
TIF
districts
to
help
supplement
the
mayor's
2019
budget.
But
because
it
we
did
review
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office
the
eligible
cost.
Mr.
anumol
talked
about.
F
We
may
not
cover
a
hundred
percent
of
the
eligible
costs,
but
we
think
we're
confident
we
can
cover
90%
of
the
consolidated,
but
because
the
consolidated
has
that
specific
terminology,
we
just
want
to
go
on
record
that
we
are
as
a
council
if
you
approve.
This
resolution
are
also
agreeing
that
the
support
of
the
in-camera
relocation
is
a
neighborhood
revitalization
expenditure,
I'm.
H
Just
trying
to
reconcile
that
with
my
memory
around
the
consolidated
tip,
I
thought
it
was
for
neighborhood
associations
and
then
the
other
piece
was
around
the
Target
Center
Convention
Center,
and
it
sounds
like
that's.
Is
that
accurate?
Is
that
the
original
intent
and
purpose
and
two
sources
that
are
the
two
destinations
for
that
funding?.
F
Mr.
chair
comes
from
member
Johnson
so
that
two
original
uses
of
the
funding
when
funds
were
more
constrained
where
the
original
Target
Center
acquisition
debt
and
we
anticipate
that
that
debt
wall
be
paid
for
and
faster
than
what
was
anticipated,
originally
and
neighborhood
revitalization
purposes,
which
historically
had
been
primarily
support
of
the
NCR
department
and
neighborhood
expenditures.
F
So
it's
both
of
those
that
have
more
recently
been
used
and
I
think
there
were
some
budget
amendments
that
you
were
involved
with
even
before
my
time
here
that
moved
more
of
NCR
functions
into
the
tax
increment
budget
than
what
originally
had
been
again
because
we
have
more
dollars.
It
gives
you,
as
a
council,
the
opportunity
and
the
mayor
in
his
recommended
budget,
expanded
on
the
use
of
neighborhood
revitalization
to
include
affordable
housing,
and
so
that
first
step
was
done
by
the
mayor
and
his
recommended
budget
for
2019.
F
H
The
mayor
put
it
in
his
recommended
budget,
essentially
I'd,
be
a
new
policy
decision
that
this
council
is
yet
to
ratify,
or
take
up
would
be
to
add
that
affordable
housing
is
a
new
purpose
of
these
funds,
so
we
haven't
taken
that
decision
up
yet,
but
that's
what
the
mayor
is
proposing
in
this
budget.
So
it's
introducing
a
new
purpose
to
these
funds
that
originally
contemplated
sure.
F
Correct
I'm,
looking
over
at
mr.
Nolan,
to
see
if
he
has
any
other
commentary
but
I
think
if
I'm,
if
I'm,
not
saying
anything
correct
but
I,
there
are
two
things
happening
in
relatively
close
periods
of
time.
One
is
the
mayor's
recommended
budget.
The
other
is
actually
a
tax
increment
modification
which
will
be
coming
in
front
of
committee
in
November
I,
believe
it's
the
regulatory
services
committee
that
will
hold
that
public
hearing
and
so
that
that
was
done
in
concert
with
the
mayor's
recommendation.
So
you're
right.
H
F
Chair
council,
member
Johnson
I
think
certainly
it's
an
important
policy
issue
for
you
as
a
council
to
consider
it
is
more
than
ten
million
dollars
that
the
mayor
has
out
of
thirty
million
dollars,
I'm.
Looking
at
mr.
inter
middle,
it's
probably
13
million
dollars
of
the
mayor's
proposed,
that's
coming
from
the
consolidated
TIF
district,
so
to
replace
13
million
dollars.
F
If
you,
if
you
as
a
council,
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
sense
of
scale,
it's
not
just
about
the
million
and
a
half
overall,
it's
really
more
about
the
policy
issue
that
you
raise
and
that's
a
thirteen
million
dollar
change
that
would
have
to
occur
in
order
to
still
fully
fund
all
the
affordable
housing
recommendations
that
the
mayor
has,
and
certainly
during
budget
time.
You
as
a
council
can
take
up
that
issue.
Okay,.
A
H
G
Thank
You
chairman
Sammy
and
I
guess.
My
question
was
somewhat
related
to
your
initial
question,
but
I
just
want
to
be
clear:
we're
not
sure
what
we're
purchasing
nor
who
is
going
to
operate
the
navigations
in
it
right.
J
Mr.
chair
council,
vice
president
Jenkins,
we
know
that
we
need,
in
order
to
hit
the
time
line,
that
we've
told
you
the
first
week
of
December.
We
know
we
need
to
make
a
choice
very
quickly
and
in
order
to
make
that
choice
as
quickly
as
we'd
like
to
is,
we
think
we
need
to.
We
need
an
appropriation
in
hand
so
that
we
can
make
the
right
choice.
J
So
we
just
found
this
out
we're
going
to
gather
the
information
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
we
will
make
the
best
choice
possible
in
order
to
accommodate
the
people
by
the
beginning
of
December.
So
yes,
it's
true
that
we
don't
know
what
we're
going
to
what
we're
going
to
either
lease
or
purchase.
But
it's
also
true.
We
will
make
the
best
choice
possible,
probably
among
the
things
I
mentioned,
possibly
others.
J
And
yes,
it
is
true
that
we
do
not
have
a
final
agreement
with
an
operator
yet,
but
I
spoke
to
the
city
coordinator
this
morning
and
she
said:
I
should
characterize
it
that
we
think
we
do
and
that
subject
is
figuring
things
out
in
the
next
days.
There
will
be
a
report
at
HPD
next
week
about
the
operator
I.
E
J
Mr.
chair
councilmember
Cunningham,
so
the
appropriation
that
we're
asking
for
today
is
1.5.
If
we
went
above,
if
the
structures
cost
more,
if
there's
other
unexpected
things,
we
would
need
to
come
back
to
you
for
an
additional
appropriation
period.
Full
stop.
The
bond
reimbursement
resolution
says
that
if
the
city
and
curse
costs
related
to
the
affordable
housing
project
that
Red
Lake
will
start
on
in
June
and
again,
we
don't
think
we
will,
and
if
we
did,
it
would
not
be
in
any
way
related
to
that
one
point:
five
or
one
point:
five
plus.
J
B
You,
chair,
Asami
I
want
to
recognize
I,
I,
think
all
of
the
staff
who
have
been
asked
to
work
on
this
and
asked
to
present
on
this
are
doing
incredibly
hard
work
and
are
being
asked
to
put
something
forward.
That
is
not
the
way
we
would
usually
do.
It
I
think
normally
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
we
have.
B
They
would
like
to
have
more
comprehensively
answered
before
they're
standing
at
the
podium
here
and
I
recognize
that
we've
put
you
in
a
tough
position
and
that,
frankly,
world
historical
circumstances
have
put
you
in
a
tough
position
and
I
I
really
appreciate
the
work
happening.
So
I
recognize
that
there
are
still
some
things
to
be
figured
out
here.
I
recognize
that
we
have
some
listening
to
continue
to
do
both
with
the
community
that
we're
serving
in
the
community
around
us
and
I
know
that
we're
committed
to
being
engaged
with
that.
B
You
know,
we've
formed
a
task
force
that
can
engage
a
little
more,
so
we
can
dig
into
these
questions.
I
know
you're
coming
back
to
present
next
week.
So
I
want
to
both
signal
to
everybody
that
in
general,
we're
not
going
to
get
in
the
habit
of
approving
appropriations
at
this
scale
with
this
level
of
information,
and
that
this
is
precisely
what
the
council
asked
staff
to
bring
us
in
this
case.
B
So
I
want
to
really
appreciate
that
we're
able
to
move
forward
that
we're
putting
both
a
lot
of
responsibility
and
a
lot
of
trust
in
you
and
I.
Thank
you
for
taking
that
on
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
working
with
you
as
we
step
into
play,
what's
just
a
critical
role
in
this
community
right
now
in
a
community
where
people
are
really
hurting.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Thank.
H
You
mr.
chair,
just
anticipating
that
we
are
probably
going
to
a
vote,
just
want
to
throw
it
out
there
that
all
abstain
from
this
particular
item
is
a
release
that
consolidated
TIF
just
to
do
a
little
more
digging.
So
I
can
better
understand
it
and
look
at
the
origins.
It
does
seem
to
me
like
a
significant
policy
decision,
maybe
I'm
misunderstanding
that,
but
that's
what
it
seems
like
to
me
and
just
wanted
to
dig
in
a
little
further
Thanks.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
Johnson
and
thanks
to
all
the
staff,
I
think
any
other
questions.
No
I
was
just
add
my
sentiments
exactly
how
a
councilmember
Fletcher
mentioned.
Our
staff
have
worked
very
diligently
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
a
lot
of
pressure,
and
this
is
an
emergency
and
it's
an
issue
of
urgency.
That's
the
reason
why
we're
not
following
the
same
process,
so
I
really
appreciate
the
work
they've
done
and
the
solution
and
the
creativity
that
went
around
finding
this
source
for
the
navigation,
navigation,
Center
and
since
there's
no
further
discussion.
