Description
Minneapolis Intergovernmental Relations Committee Meeting
A
Good
morning,
everyone
I'm
gonna
call
to
order
this
regularly
scheduled
intergovernmental
relations.
Committee
on
August,
1st
I'm
Andrew
Johnson,
the
chair
of
the
committee
I,
want
to
note
that
we're
doing
things
a
little
special
today,
because
we
have
a
special
joint
committee,
that's
happening,
and
so
what
we're
gonna
do
is
because
we
already
had
a
couple
other
items
of
business,
we're
going
to
take
care
of
those
now
and
then
we
will
recess
until
2:30
for
the
special
joint
meeting
and
that's
actually
why
we're
also
set
up
this
way.
A
Normally,
the
committee
members
would
kind
of
be
in
the
middle,
but
that's
part
of
this
special
joint
meeting
it's
coming
up
at
2:30,
so
all
of
you
are
the
early
birds
for
this.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
for
these
other
two
items
as
well,
so
we
do
have
a
quorum
of
committee
members,
I'm
joined
by
vice-chair
Jenkins,
comer
or
Tommy
and
councilmember
Schrader.
We
are
a
quorum
of
the
committee
and
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
three
items
today,
but
the
two
will
be
taken
care
of
now
before
us.
The
first
is
a
consent
agenda
item.
A
It's
setting
a
public
hearing
for
August
15th
to
consider
an
ordinance
amending
the
Minneapolis
Charter
relating
to
finance,
increasing
limits
on
borrowing
for
capital
expenditures
and
permit
the
combination
of
charter
and
state
borrowing
authority.
Do
I,
have
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
that
do
I
move
the
consent
items
do
I.
Have
any
questions
comments
from
committee
members,
not
seeing
any
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
moving
on.
We
have
discussion.
Item
related
to
the
liquor
area,
spacing
restrictions
charter
amendment.
A
This
would
be
a
passage
of
a
resolution
adopting
the
title
and
ballot
language
pertaining
to
proposed
amendment
to
the
Minneapolis
city
charter
relating
to
the
area
and
spacing
restrictions
pertaining
to
the
sale
of
liquor
to
be
submitted
to
the
voters
of
Minneapolis
during
the
gubernatorial
general
election
on
November
6th
do
I
have
any
discussion
from
committee
members
on
this
aye
clerk.
Can
you
remind
me,
do
we
have
we
have
two
pieces
of
language
for
this,
for
the
belt?
Is
that
correct?
Mr.
B
Chair
was
before
you
is
deciding
the
language
for
the
ballot,
which
is
at
the
back
of
the
proposal.
At
the
end,
I
should
say
of
the
draft
resolution
or
draft
ordinance.
The
ordinance
is
being
forwarded
from
the
Charter
Commission,
and
so
that's
going
to
the
ballot.
What
your
committee
is
asked
to
do
is
to
finalize
the
language
that
would
be
actually
submitted
to
the
electorate
on
the
ballot
and
to
afford
that
recommendation
into
the
City
Council.
B
So
on
the
second
page
of
that
draft
resolution
by
Johnson
you'll
see
what
we're
really
looking
at
is
the
resolved
clause.
At
the
end
that
says,
the
language
of
the
ballot
remove
Aryan,
spacing
requirements
for
liquor.
Licensing,
shall
the
Minneapolis
city
charter
be
amended
to
remove
from
the
city
charter
the
area
and
spacing
requirements
pertaining
to
liquor
licenses?
Yes
or
no?
So
it's
the
language
of
the
ballot
question
we're
considering
today
perfect.
A
Thank
you
for
the
additional
details.
I
also
note
that
we've
been
joined
by
council
president
bender
I'll
just
speak
on
this
briefly.
I
think
this
is
a
provision,
that's
in
our
Charter
that
has
caused
a
number
of
issues.
I
know
for
our
local
small
businesses
and
we've
seen
instances
where
it's
literally
impossible.
A
thousand
years
could
go
by
before
they're
able
to
meet
the
requirements
of
seven
contiguous
acres
of
commercial
zoning
in
order
to
sell,
for
instance,
cocktails
or
to
brew
beer,
and
it's
it's
been
something.
A
We've
actually
gone
to
the
legislature,
legislature
to
get
one-time
exemptions
for
businesses,
depending
on
their
unique
situations
and
cases,
and
this
just
really
feels
like
a
responsive
thing
to
put
on
the
ballot,
responding
to
the
concerns
of
a
number
of
our
small
businesses
and
trying
to
strike
a
better
balance.
So
I
appreciate
this
coming
forward
and
all
the
work
that's
been
done
by
the
business
community
and
Charter
Commission
on
this.
Are
there
any
additional
comments
or
questions
related
to
this
Oh.
C
B
Chair
the
question
from
the
vice-president
I
understanding
is
the
impact
of
the
licensing
and
regulatory
authority
of
the
council
being
moved
or
removed
from
charter.
Certainly,
the
council
would
still
have
that
authority
under
its
ordinance
powers,
so
under
legislative
authority
with
respect
to
zoning
licensing
and
regulatory
functions,
the
council
would
still
have
the
ability
to
make
those
decisions
separate
from
having
it
be
codified
in
the
city
charter.
The
licensing
staff
would
be
more
able
to
speak
specifically
to
that.
D
Mr.
chairman,
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Jean
ranarium,
director
of
government
relations
for
the
city
and
responds
to
the
vice
president's
question
about
grocery
stores
that
is
governed
by
state
statute,
and
if
a
grocery
store
wanted
to
have
a
liquor
store,
they'd
have
to
be
a
separate
entrance
and
had
to
be
proven,
but
for
zoning
in
City
Council.
This
would
not
affect
so.
D
C
A
Additional
questions
or
comments
from
committee
members
seeing
you
we'll
go
ahead
and
move
this
language
forward.
Then
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
Those
opposed
motion
carries
with
that.
Our
third
item
is
related
to
the
police
department
charter
amendment,
as
I
mentioned,
that
we'll
be
conducting
a
special
joint
meeting
for
that
and
to
do
that
we
will
recess
until
2:30,
so
we're
go
ahead
and
recess
us
until
2:30
mr.
clerk.
Mr.
B
Chair
while
we're
in
recess
for
those
who
are
here
for
the
separate
discussion
around
the
third
item
on
this
agenda,
that
is
the
joint
meeting,
certainly
if
they're
interested
in
speaking,
they
can
register
during
this
recess.
The
registration
table
is
outside
in
the
hallway.
If
they
have
materials
to
submit.
We
could
be
doing
that
during
the
recess
for
those
who
are
here
and
want
to
speak
and
haven't
registered.
They
can
be
taking
care
of
that
now.
Great.
