C
A
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
any
questions
/
that
presentation
from
the
committee
seeing
none
I
will
open
the
public
hearing.
I
do
have
someone
who
signed
in
I'll
start
with
that
person.
Others
may
come
up
and
sign
in
as
well
starting
with
mr.
Bob
mayor.
Please
come
forward
seat,
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
hi.
F
A
question
my
boss
has
a
number
of
properties
along
lyndale
and
the
teams
that
the
assessment
varies
widely
among
those
properties
by
frontage
or
square
footage
and
I'm
wondering
if
perhaps
the
staff
could
speak
to
how
that
assessments
calculated
and
I
would
note
that
a
partner,
a
business
partner,
my
boss,
has
bar
in
46
and
lyndale,
and
his
assessment
is
roughly
1/4
by
square
footage
or
frontage
compared
to
my
bosses
assessment.
So
maybe
somebody
could
speak
to
that.
Thank
you.
We
certainly
can.
A
C
The
question
on
assessment
and
how
the
city
of
Minneapolis
Public
Works
calculates
the
assessment
is
we
use
two
factors
we
use,
what's
known
as
the
uniform
assessment
rate
or
by
we
assess
all
properties,
the
same
unit
cost
throughout
the
entire
city
for
this
year.
The
unit
rate
is
a
structure
either
residential
or
non-residential
property.
From
that
we
also
calculate
the
surface
area,
surface
area
of
the
individual
property
Lots
and
from
that
calculation
of
surface
area
times
the
unit
rate
we
come
up
with
the
total
cost
per
property.
F
A
Suggestion
for
this
part,
is
that
we
do
have
staff
here
that
can
actually
look
at
the
specific
parcels
and
explain
how
our
application
of
our
uniform
process
applied
to
that
parcel,
and
you
can
judge
for
yourself
at
that
point.
Both
both
of
our
staff
people
are
here
want
to
raise
your
hand.
There
are
experts
in
this
area.
F
A
Here,
for
you,
uh-huh,
okay,
all
right
so
I
believe
that's
the
answers.
The
question
for
details:
we
carry
it
offline
with
that.
I
will
move
the
item
very
close.
The
public
hearing
and
move
the
item
before
us.
Any
further
discussion
see
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
dissent,
a
name
that
moves
forward.
We
know
how
our
last
public
hearing
item
three
and
seems
as
though
that
will
be
mr.
Matsumoto
as
well.
C
The
total
accumulated
miles
for
Willard
is
five
point:
six
six
miles
in
Jordan,
four
point:
six
one
miles
for
the
time:
combined
assessments
for
both
projects.
The
project
scope
is
a
two
inch
mill
and
overlaid
with
approximately
2,000
feet
of
existing
curb
and
gutter
replacement.
Portions
of
this
project
will
be
delayed
until
2019
to
accommodate
center
point
energy
and
C
Line
detour
routes.
C
The
utility
working
area
is
again
sent
a
point:
energy
replacing
a
number
of
their
gas
mains
and
services,
upgrading
the
Beltline
project
and
other
plan
work,
and
this
is
part
of
the
detour
C
Line
bus,
rapid
transit.
The
project
was
designated
on
February
9th
and
on
March
20th
Monday,
nine
hundred
and
nine
eighty
nine
invitations
were
mailed
with
eighteen
attendees
who
attended
the
meeting
at
North
Commons.
C
A
G
Richard
Hill
and
I
live
at
2365,
ferrant
place
and
I'm.
Sorry
I
missed
that
public
meeting.
There
are
so
many
pages
in
this
thing
that
I
didn't
see
it
on
the
last
page,
but
I
I,
look
around
my
streets
and
I
drove
down
here
today
and
the
only
Street
I
saw
that
was
in
better
shape
than
our
streets
was
the
brand-new
Washington
Avenue
out
here.
Our
streets
are
in
our
very
good
shape.
G
G
If
anybody
is
interested,
I
don't
know
who
would
want
to
see
them,
but
I
took
them
this
morning
and
I
just
think
that
this
assessment
with
the
$1500
is
it's
excessive
for
especially
people
in
in
a
low-income
neighborhood
like
ours,
and
there
hasn't
been
any
repairs
or
seal
coating
done
on
these
streets.
If
they
just
do
that,
our
streets
would
be
top-notch
as
good
as
the
Washington
out
here.
So,
that's
my
that's
my
opinion.
I
just
think
regular
maintenance.
G
A
H
Good
morning
my
name
is
Kathleen
Richard
and
I
live
at
23,
22,
24th,
Avenue,
North
and
I
guess.
My
the
reason
that
I'm
here
this
morning
is
because
I
was
shocked
by
the
amount
of
the
assessment.
I
didn't
realize
that
my
property
would
be
assessed
more
than
any
of
my
neighbors.
It
represents
fully
a
month
and
a
half
of
wages.
For
me,
that's
if
I
pay,
nothing
else
so
I,
don't
know
if
that's
negotiable
or
not,
but
I
here
this
morning
to
see
if
there's
any
way
that
that
can
be
mitigated.
Okay,.
D
My
name
is
WH
Nelson
and
I
reside,
30-27
Thomas,
Avenue
North,
which
is
in
the
proposed
of
Jordan
area.
I
just
wanted
to
come
and
get
on
the
record
of
sin
as
III
opposed
that
$1500
assessment,
because
it's
I
mean,
like
the
other
young
lady
just
said,
it's
it's
very
expensive,
and
you
know
this
I
pay
a
lot
of
taxes.
Already
in
our
you
know,
it's
just
like
the
city
is
pricing
me
out.
You
know,
I
mean
I
pretty
soon,
I'm
not
gonna
be
able
to
afford
to
live
here
anymore.
D
You
know,
and
so
I
just
just
wanted.
I
know
it's
probably
gonna
happen
and
I'm,
probably
gonna
have
to
pay
and
I.
Don't
like
the
fact
that
if
I
have
to
take
time,
I'm
gonna
be
charged
for
point
one
percent
interest
on
a
loan
that
I
didn't
even
ask
for
I
mean
my
street
does
need
to
be
repaid,
but,
like
this
gentleman
says,
I
haven't
seen
any
any
kind
of
mill
work
done
on
it.
I
have
to
call
and
complain
about
potholes,
you
know,
and
they
come
out
and
patch
it
up.
D
D
A
E
Good
morning
my
name
is
Janet:
Robinson
I
live
at
25:10,
Vincent
Avenue
North
I
missed
the
public.
The
the
meeting
on
the
20th
I
just
bought
the
property.
The
enemy
I
didn't
know
about
this
ten
liked.
Gentlemen.
Before
me,
it's
probably
going
to
make
me
move
out
of
the
city.
Flood
mine
is
a
little
bit
less
than
theirs.
Twelve
1200
ten
dollars,
but
had
I
known
that
you
know
just
state
that
I'm
kind
of
frustrated.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
My
name
is
Raymond
Nicholson
a
little
bit.
30:22
Sheridan
Illinois
I've,
seen
the
city
coming
through
there
in
the
last
30
years
and,
like
the
gentleman
said,
the
only
did
was
put
a
little
Tarzan
grabber
down,
but
they
come
through
and
plant
trees
in
trees.
Look
too
big
for
the
boulevard
and
they
push
up
the
sidewalk.
Then
they
come
back
in
the
city.
Charges
for
new
sidewalks
I,
don't
understand
it
either.
You
had
to
mirror
a
sidewalk,
so
do
something,
but
we
want
to
get
these
curtain
cost
as
I
like
to
say.
Thank.
G
A
You
and
I
think
we
are
sensitive
to
compound
costs.
You
know
our
base
taxes,
any
other
fees
and
services,
but
of
course
these
are
the
things
that
allow
us
to
do
what
we
do
as
a
city,
you
can
always
check
with
staff
to
make
sure
we've
gotten
everything
right
in
terms
of
the
amount
that
you
make
sure
that
we've
applied
our
policy
correctly
and
also
can
talk
about
whatever
options
there
may
be
in
terms
of
how
we
can
finance
the
repayment.
A
It
should
be
noted:
it's
not
compound
interest,
at
least
it's
it's
a
simple
which
is
a
big
difference,
but
that
might
not
be
to
your
point,
though,
though,
that
the
cost
you
add
up
in
the
bill,
cumulatively,
can
be
very
impactful,
if
not
discouraging
so
I.
Take
that
I'll
note
us
now
I'm
going
to
close
this
public
hearing
I
was
there
any
further
discussion?
Oh
well,
we're
going
to
continue.
Sorry,
we
are
going
to
continue
this
public
hearing
and
I
will
continue.
A
B
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I
am
very
pleased
and
proud
to
introduce
this
next
topic,
which
is
the
end,
don't
get
too
caught
up
on
the
technical
words,
because
we're
gonna
have
a
great
presentation.
It's
the
termination
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
this
national
pollutant
discharge,
elimination
system
and
PDEs,
combined,
sewer,
overflow,
permit
determination,
often
Connaught
ate
something
negative,
and
in
this
case
it
Connaught
ate
something
extremely
positive
and
beneficial
for
the
city.
Katrina
Kessler
is
here
to
present
this
information.
Katrina
is
the
director
of
surface
water
and
sewers
for
the
city.
B
This
termination
of
this
permit
is
possible
because
of
Katrina
her
leadership.
Her
divisions
work
it's
possible
because
of
our
data-driven
approach
to
assessing
infrastructure
and
making
significant
capital
investments
in
order
to
repair
our
infrastructure
and
it's
possible
because,
through
years
of
work
on
the
part
of
Public
Works,
we
have
developed
extremely
strong
partnerships
and
connections
with
our
partner
agencies.
This
is
a
milestone
for
the
department
and
worthy
of
a
presentation
to
denote
it.
J
Morning,
chair
and
members
of
committee,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
tell
the
story.
I
will
give
an
overview
of
our
sanitary
and
storm
systems
and
talk
about
some
of
our
challenges
and
our
opportunities
and
talk
about
some
of
the
tools
we're
using
as
director
Hutchison
mentioned,
and
particularly
our
Clean
Water
Act
permits,
and
why
they
are
positioned
as
well
to
move
forward
for
another
Sun
on
this
on
this
infrastructure.
J
This
slide
shows
the
extent
of
the
sanitary
system
on
the
right
you
see,
color-coded
by
age.
The
red
is
the
oldest,
are
the
oldest
sewers.
Those
are
at
were
built
prior
to
1940,
so
we
have
between
800
and
900
miles
of
sanitary
pipes,
and
the
majority
of
them
are
more
than
80
years
or
some
more
than
a
hundred
years
old.
You
can
see,
on
the
left
hand,
side
the
photo
taken
about
the
time
that
the
sewers
were
originally
built.
This
is
the
late
1800s
1870s.
When
Minneapolis
was
first
incorporated
with
st.
J
J
As
you
may
know,
the
the
sewers
were
originally
built
as
combined
sewers,
so
this
is
not
unique
to
Minneapolis.
This
is
similar
to
cities
that
are
commensurately
old
and
around
the
same
size
as
our
city,
meaning
that
there
was
one
set
of
pipes
that
collected
both
the
sewage
and
the
rainwater
and
went
straight
to
the
river,
and
this
was
how
it
was
between
the
the
first
sewers
of
the
late
1800s
and
and
the
but
the
first
storm
sewers
weren't
belt
until
development
started
around
the
lakes
in
the
1920s
and
around
this
time.
J
Not
surprisingly,
people
began
to
worry
about
the
health
of
the
river
in
1926.
The
National
Park
Service
actually
did
a
fish
survey
between
many
earth,
st.
Paul
and
Hastings,
and
found
two
fish,
not
two
species
of
fish,
but
just
two
fish,
and
so
at
that
time
the
city
of
Minneapolis
in
the
city
of
st.
Paul
came
together
and
decided.
It
was
time
to
build
a
wastewater
treatment
plant,
and
that
was
the
psi
plant,
which
was
today.
J
It's
called
the
Metro
wastewater
treatment
plant
in
in
Saint
Paul
at
that
time,
when
that
came
online
in
1938,
all
of
the
sewers
which
were
still
combined
went
to
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
which
worked
fine
unless
it
was
raining
and
then
this
wars
were
over
capacity
and
they
overflowed
untreated
to
the
Mississippi
River.
This
was
the
case
through
the
60s
when
we
started
to
build
separate
storm
sewers
comprehensively
as
part
of
a
citywide
paving
program
and
accelerated
the
separation
of
both
the
storm
and
the
sanitary
in
the
early
80s.
J
The
federal
government
began
to
pay
more
attention
to
this
around
the
country
and
with
the
help
of
the
federal
government,
the
city
really
data-driven
started
to
work
on
separating
the
storm
sewers
from
the
sanitary
sewers.
And
since
then,
we
have
focused
on
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
get
direct
connections
of
storm
out
of
the
sanitary
sewers
and
because
of
that,
intentional
investment
that
director
Hutchison
noted,
we
have
essentially
separated
the
sewer.
So
this
is
a
success
story
and
I.
Think
it's
worth
noting
that
Minneapolis
and
st.
J
As
I
noted,
we
have
almost
900
miles
of
sanitary.
Pipe
80%
of
them
are
more
than
80
years
old.
Almost
50%
of
them
are
a
hundred
years
old.
The
storm,
the
majority
of
the
storm,
is
also
more
than
50
years
old,
so
it's
the
age
of
the
infrastructure
and
our
need
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment
and
our
desire
to
be
good
stewards
of
the
public
dollars
that
have
driven
us
to
take
a
data-driven
assessment
approach
to
this.
J
This
slide
highlights
the
extent
of
the
storm
system,
not
quite
as
many
miles
of
pipe,
but
we
have
a
whole
lot
of
other
type
of
infrastructure
on
the
storm
system
to
not
only
convey
water
but
also
to
treat
water
so
that
we
can
do
our
part
to
improve
the
water
quality
of
the
creeks,
the
lakes
and
the
river.
One
of
the
critical
components
of
our
storm
system
are
our
storm
tunnels,
so
we
have
16
miles
of
deep
storm
tunnels
that
underlay
the
most
densely
developed
part
of
the
city
together
with
MnDOT
tunnels.
J
They
drain
almost
1/3
of
the
city,
so
that's
shaded
in
green
here.
The
tunnels
like
rest,
the
rest
of
our
sewer
infrastructure,
are
are
very
old
and
were
built
at
a
time
that
had
less
impervious
surface,
so
they
were
built
to
accept
runoff
from
a
different
landscape.
As
a
result,
we
have
pressurized
system
such
that
when
it
rains
not
only
are
the
tunnels
full,
but
the
manholes
100
feet
up
are
full
of
water,
putting
pressure
on
those
tunnels.
J
J
So
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
aging
infrastructure
and
the
tools
we're
using
data-driven,
televising
data
to
look
at
risks
and
prioritize
where
we're
going
to
look
for
capital
and
operation
and
maintenance
investments
on
the
storm
side.
We're
also
looking
at
flooding-
and
many
of
you
know
this,
because
you
received
the
same
types
of
emails
that
I
receive
on
regular
basis.
J
So
what
does
this
have
to
do
with
the
Clean
Water
Act
permit
just
a
tiny
bit
back
of
background
on
the
Clean
Water
Act
for
those
of
you
who
don't
live
and
breathe
this,
the
the
1972
Clean
Water
Act
essentially
established
the
foundation
to
permit
wastewater
and
then
subsequently
stormwater
discharges.
The
the
photo
on
the
upper
right
is
the
Cuyahoga
River,
which
actually
was
the
impetus.
J
The
catalyst
for
this,
which
caught
on
fire
in
1970
the
National
pollutant
discharge
elimination
system,
is
the
permitting
program
that
we
that
we
and
other
cities
have
permits
under
to
regulate
both
wastewater
and
stormwater.
Historically,
the
city
had
two
permits:
we
had
a
combined
sewer
overflow
permit
or
a
CSO
permit
with
the
Met
Council
that
was
originally
issued
in
1984
and
then
again
in
1997.
It
has
been
expired
since
2001.
J
We
also
have
a
municipal,
separate
storm
sewer
system
or
an
ms4
permit,
which
regulates
the
stormwater
and
that
permit
was
reissued
in
February
of
this
year,
with
a
novel
approach
called
an
integrated
permit,
which
now
recognizes
the
historical
connection,
nature
of
our
infrastructure.
So
why
were
we
able
to
move
away
from
the
traditional
approach
and
think
about
an
integrated
permit?
This
graph
shows
the
outcomes
of
the
work
that
that
director
Hutchinson
was
highlighting
on
the
Left
y-axis.
Are
the
volume
is
the
volume
of
overflow
to
the
river
over
time
and
on
the
right,
it's
precipitation?
J
So
you
can
see
that,
even
though
we've
had
years
of
high
precipitation
and
one
would
say
that
we're
experiencing
a
very
wet
period
in
the
last
several
years,
we've
had
no
overflows
from
the
sanitary
system
in
10
of
the
last
11
years
and
we
seem
to
have
turned
I
turned
the
corner
around
2002,
where
we
made
a
concerted
investment
with
the
leadership
of
the
council
to
increase
our
work
to
identify
where
we
had
direct
connection.
So
we
looked
at
Rayne
leaders
and
catch
basins
and
accelerated.
What
today
is
called
a
smoke
testing
work
to
date.
J
This
work
has
included
smoke,
testing,
550
miles
of
pipe
televising,
600
miles
of
sanitary
400
miles
of
storm
and
disconnecting
more
than
7,000
rain
leaders
across
the
city,
and
we
were
able
to
do
that
in
partnership
with
many
private
entities
who
then
paid
to
do
that.
We
have
lined
more
than
90
miles
of
deteriorating
sanitary
pipes
and
separated
more
than
4600
acres
of
drainage
from
the
sanitary
system.
So
this
is.
J
So
the
integrated
permit,
again
issued
last
month,
acknowledges
the
historic
connection
connected
nature
and
and
positions
us
to
not
only
continue
to
look
at
what
we
need
to
do
on
the
stormwater
side,
which
highlighted
up
here,
will
include
an
update
to
our
stormwater
ordinance,
but
also
what
we
need
to
continue
to
do
on
to
minimize
risks.
Over
time.
As
I
said,
the
system
is
essentially
separated,
but
there
will
always
be
work
to
continue
to
identify
and
address
historic
connections.
J
There
yeah
are
the
aging
sanitary
which
will
all
be
addressed
as
part
of
this
scope,
but
the
blue
is
the
flooding
and
we're
also
going
to
mitigate
there,
and
because
we
were
able
to
think
about
the
water
quality
needs
as
well.
We
will
be
addressing
water
quality,
so
we're
getting
water
quality,
flooding
and
condition
in
this
project,
as
well
as
addressing
the
condition
of
the
street.
So
this
is
the
example
of
the
types
of
projects
we're
going
to
be
doing
using
the
tools
going
forward.
Others
up.
J
J
We
were
not
we're
not
digging
up
Washington
Avenue,
but
we
will
be
going
through
through
underground
from
the
river
and
expanding
the
size
and
the
capacity
this
work
is
made
possible
by
the
modeling
so
that
we
understand
what
is
necessary
to
make
our
system
resilient
for
the
next
hundred
years.
You
saw
on
the
graph
that
we
had
not
had
a
overflows
for
the
last
ten
years.
The
only
time
we
had
an
overflow
was
the
result
of
a
failed
storm
tunnel,
and
this
was
in
in
downtown
in
the
Central
City,
because
the
system
was
overpressure.
J
The
water
found
a
crack
shot
out
through
the
sandstone
and
penetrated
the
Met
Council's
waste
water
interceptor
nearby
and
resulted
in
an
overflow
to
the
river.
As
that
water
receded,
we
ended
up
with
a
foot
and
a
half
of
sand
in
the
tunnel
which
we
had
to
emergency
expedite
a
repair
of
and
the
centuries
that
the
Central
City
project
will
alleviate
this
risk
going
forward.
This
is
one
of
the
city's
body
and
requests
for
the
state
legislature
this
year.
J
In
addition,
we're
working
on
water
quality
and
flood
work.
You
can
see
on
the
the
top
pictures
taken
recently
and
in
the
past
of
flooding
across
the
city.
You've
heard
how
we're
taking
the
modeling
to
understand
how
to
prioritize
and
work
through
these.
In
the
past,
flood
mitigation
projects
have
included
infiltration
basins
on
the
bottom
left
is
the
Holland
Basin
near
Edison,
High
School,
the
bottom
rated
wet
wet
pond
at
this,
is
at
Columbia
or
Columbus,
and
37th
and
South
Minneapolis,
and
the
bottom
right
is
the
mid.
J
Is
the
North
Avenue
Greenway
37th
Avenue
north,
and
that
includes
not
only
underground,
storage
and
water
quality
treatment,
but
a
amenity,
a
bikeway
amenity
for
that
community.
So
we're
looking
not
only
at
the
condition
but
ways
we
can
mitigate
flooding
and
water
quality,
going
forward
right
now
we're
working
on
five
flood
mitigation
projects.
These
are
pilot
projects
that
we're
working
in
partnership
with
the
Mississippi
watershed
management
organization.
In
that
watershed,
the
MIS,
the
Minnehaha
Creek
watershed
and
the
park
board
in
in
areas
around
the
city
and
these
projects
will
help
us
understand
how.
J
When
we
prioritize
flood
work
going
forward,
we
can
figure
out
how
to
effectively
and
efficiently
get
projects
in
the
ground
and
utilize
the
public
dollars.
Well,
so
we've
come
a
long
way
since
the
time
when
we
were
having
regular
wastewater
treatment,
overflows
I
want
to
say
thank
you
again
to
the
leaders
of
at
the
city
and
the
staff
and
Public
Works
who
were
committed
to
this
overtime.
J
I
think
we
now
have
a
regulatory
structure
that
recognizes
the
the
work
that
needs
to
happen
going
forward,
but
it
also
recognizes
that
we
have
a
lot
of
other
drivers
and
we
have
the
data
in
our
pocket
to
help
us
prioritize
that
and
make
those
decisions
in
the
best
way
for
the
city.
So
if
anyone
has
any
questions,
any.
K
Thanks
for
this
presentation
and
congratulations
on
getting
to
this
milestone,
it's
exciting
I
guess:
I
I
was
wondering
you
mentioned
the
sort
of
increase
of
impermeable
surfaces
and
I'm
wondering
sort
of
what
what
role
as
we
think
about
these
sort
of
adding
capacity
with
the
central
city
tunnel
and
so
on.
How
much
should
we
also
be
thinking
about
permeable
surfaces
and
thinking
about
how
much
impermeable
surface
were
adding
and
how
we
manage
that,
so
that
we're
reducing
the
runoff
that's
required
at
the
top
yeah.
J
That's
an
excellent
question
council
member
pleasures,
so
our
existing
stormwater
ordinance
does
require
us
to
reduce
rate
and
impervious
surface
as
redevelopment
happens,
and
we
are
implementing
that
and
we
will
be
putting
together
a
new
generation
of
stormwater
ordinance
that
will
further
that
work.
The
work
downtown
at
this
point
is
just
trying
to
catch
up
from
the
last
70
years.
We
will
do
that
and
we
will
continue
project
by
project
area
by
area
to
work,
to
reduce
impervious
surface
so
that
we
don't
end
up
in
this
situation
again.
A
Any
other
questions
for
this
presentation.
Seeing
none
I'll
comment,
you
know
as
an
untrained
layperson,
the
the
format
and
clarity
of
presentation
was
impressive.
I
mean
I,
actually
think
I
get
half
of
this
now.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
also
I
just
think
that
I'm
glad
that
we
took
this
pause,
it's
very
significant.
It's
highly
technical
but
extremely
significant.
It
has
fiduciary
impacts.
A
It
has
community
development
impacts,
I
mean
it's
just
extremely
impactful
lets
you
know,
foresight,
good
policy
direction
and
a
commitment
to
actually
follow
through
and
what
we
know
we
need
to
do
and
just
doing
it
and
so
I
think
that's
a
great
testament
to
our
the
Minneapolis
way
of
doing
things.
So
with
that
I
will
submit
this
as
we've
seen
file
Thank.
