Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting
A
Good
morning,
everyone
I'm
Lisa
bender
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
I,
want
to
welcome
everyone.
Today,
often
before
our
council
meetings,
we
have
some
time
to
recognize
important
issues
or
people
in
our
community,
and
today
we
have
several
of
those
beginning
with
a
bittersweet
moment,
which
is
recognizing
our
regulatory
Services
Director
Noah
Schuchman.
A
So
please
come
on
up
as
he
leaves
us
for
a
really
important
and
exciting
new
job
and
Duluth
I
keep
telling
Noah
that
the
city
of
Duluth
is
under
water
and
he's
making
a
terrible
choice,
but
he
doesn't
agree
with
me,
but
no
we're
so
excited
for
you,
Noah
and
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
to
councilmember
Goodman,
who
chairs
the
EDRs
committee
and
who
has
worked
with
Noah
for
very
many
many
years
during
his
time
at
the
city.
Well,.
B
B
He
started
out,
as
many
of
you
know,
working
for
councilmember
schiff,
but
working
with
councilmember
shift
meant
working
with
all
of
the
other
council
members
to,
and
you
really
brought
a
lot
of
light
and
direction
along
with
Heidi
Ricci
to
council
member
shifts
at
work
and
his
office,
and
we
all
loved
working
with
you
in
that
capacity.
It
was
no
surprise
when
you
left
that
you
would
move
into
the
administration
and
do
great
things
and
that's
what's
again
happening
for
you
in
your
career.
B
One
of
the
things
that
binds
me
the
closest
to
Noah
is
the
most
important
thing
in
my
life
is
my
dog
Sadie
and
my
dog
Sadie
and
his
now
deceased
dog
Wilko
were
siblings,
and
so
we
got
our
dogs
at
the
same
place
because
we
knew
each
other
from
city
hall
and
so
I'm.
Thinking
about
your
love
of
animals
and
the
incredible
work
that
you
did
at
Animal,
Control,
which
in
and
of
itself,
is
a
very
difficult
place
to
be
managing
and
so
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.

provided
reg
services
with
both
a
true

and
the
ability
to
move
forward
as
a

and
whereas
Noah's
accomplishments,
combined

with

know-how

and

including

whereas

Now,
therefore,
be

in

The

city
council,
congratulate
you
Noah
for
your
many
significant
accomplishments
and
wish
you
much
happiness
and
fulfillment
in
your
next
adventure.
A
Before
we
turn
it
over
to
Noah,
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
thing
which
is
I,
don't
think
we
have
ever
sat
down
and
talked
about
anything
without
first
talking
about
our
kids
and
our
family
and
I
just
want
to
thank
your
family,
because
we
all
do
this
work
in
public
service
because
we
love
our
community
so
much
and
I'm
emotional,
because
it's
really
a
sacrifice
for
the
whole
family.
So
I
just
want
to.
A
C
Thank
you
well
on
that
note,
I'll
start
by
thanking
my
my
wife
Heidi
and
my
my
son
Charlie,
and
my
daughter
Eliza
as
well.
My
parents
who
are
here
so
thank
you
all
for
that.
I
think
I
would
be
remiss
to
not
note
that
my
mother
was
a
city
employee
and
a
longtime
public
servant,
and
so
certainly
I
have
some
of
that
that
has
carried
through
to
my
career
I
want
to
just
thank
both
of
you
council,
president
and
council
member.
For
for
this.
It's
very
appreciated.
C
Council
members.
Thank
you
for
having
me
today.
I
appreciate
this
and
mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
for
the
appointment
and
the
trust
in
running
regulatory
services.
It's
been
an
honor
I
also
want
to
thank
both
former
mayor
Hodges
and
councilmember
Schiff
for
their
their
trust
in
my
work,
in
their
offices
and
in
regulatory
services,
and
more
than
anything,
I
want
to
thank
the
department's
leadership
team,
many
of
whom
are
here,
and
regulatory
Services
staff
and
I
continued
to
be
throughout
my
time
in
the
department
ten
years.
C
I
continue
to
be
inspired
by
their
work
and
their
commitment
to
the
people
of
Minneapolis
and
the
people
who
visit
the
city
as
well
as
all
city
staff
who
do
that
every
day,
and
so
thank
you
all
for
that,
and
for
this
I
I
will
I
will
miss
working
with
all
of
you
and
it's
been
an
honor
to
serve
the
city.
Thank
you.
A
D
This
is
coming
up
later
in
the
month
on
November
11th
is
the
100th
anniversary
of
the
armistice
after
World
War
one,
and
so
we
thought
it
was
appropriate
for
us
to
pass
a
resolution
and
commemorate
this
day's.
It's
significant
for
those
who
were
there.
They
thought
of
that
as
the
day
to
end
a
war
and
unfortunately
that
wasn't
what
happened.
D
One
Remembrance
event
on
November
11
2018
at
10:00
a.m.
at
the
flagpole
plaza
at
45th,
Avenue
North
in
Victoria,
Memorial
Drive
sponsored
by
the
city,
Minneapolis
Hennepin
County,
the
Minneapolis
Park
of
my
creation
board
and
the
City
of
Robbinsdale
and
whereas
Veterans
for
Peace
and
the
Landmark
Center
have
organized
to
reclaim
Armistice
Day
celebration
on
November
11
2018
at
10:00
a.m.
until
2
p.m.
at
75,
Fifth,
Street,
West,
st.
Paul
and
whereas
an
armistice
Centennial
commemoration
will
be
held
at
Brits
pub
on
November
11
2018,
starting
at
4:00
p.m.
that's
at
11:10.
Nicollet,
Mall
Minneapolis.
D
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
mayor
and
city
council
do
hereby
commemorate
the
centennial
of
Armistice
Day
support
peace
in
all
forms
for
all
people
and
hold
out
hope
that
the
spirit
of
Armistice
Day
will
motivate
all
people
and
all
leaders
throughout
the
world
to
work
for
peace
and
prevent
war.
And
now
I
would
like
to
but
Dave
say
a
few
words
and
we're
going
to
commemorate
it
with
the
ringing
of
the
Bell.
D
E
We
brought
our
bells
with
us,
as
we
normally
do
and
we
ring
our
bells
on
Armistice.
Day
we've
been
doing
this
for
over
over
20
years,
or
a
small
group
or
veterans
that
are
very,
very
literate
and
very
act
and
passionate
group
of
veterans.
That
believe
that
we
need
to
change
the
paradigm
of
war
to
a
paradigm
of
peace,
and
we
do
that
with
ringing
bells
at
various
occasions.
Memorial
Day,
when
passing
with
one
of
our
members,
are
a
member
of
the
pacifist
community.
E
We
bring
our
bowels
down
in
Mankato
a
couple
weeks
ago
down
at
the
the
site
of
the
the
mass
execution
of
Native,
Americans
and
Mankato.
We
rang
about
38
times
for
each
of
the
people
that
were
hung
that
day,
and
so
we
we
bring
our
bells
whenever
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
so,
including
here.
Some
of
our
bells
have
been
made
our
hand
made
by
some
of
our
members.
E
A
All
right,
thank
you
again
to
everyone.
Who's
come
here
today
before
we
begin
and
call
our
meeting
to
order.
I
want
to
recognize
councilmember
Fletcher
for
one
final
moment
here
to
recognize
the
victims
this
week
that
we've
seen
across
the
country
who
have
been
victims
of
domestic
terrorism,
racial
violence
and
religious
violence
and
persecution.
F
Thank
You
president
bender,
since
the
last
time
this
council
convened
our
nation
has
experienced
tragic
terrifying
loss
of
life
in
violent
events
rooted
in
anti-semitism
and
racism.
There
will
be
a
more
appropriate
time
for
a
political
response
to
address
the
hateful
rhetoric
and
dog-whistle
politics
from
elected
leaders
that
are
empowering
white
supremacists
and
to
ask
why
these
murderers
had
such
easy
access
to
guns,
one
especially
appropriate
time,
is
coming
up
on
Tuesday
November
6th.
F
When
we
go
to
the
polls
today,
though,
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
joined
by
our
mayor,
asked
you
to
join
us
in
a
moment
of
reflection,
as
we
express
our
profound
grief
and
steadfast
solidarity
with
the
cities
and
the
people
who
have
been
targeted
in
these
attacks
on
October
24th.
An
armed
man
entered
a
grocery
store
in
Jeffersontown
Kentucky
and
murdered
two
people
in
a
racially
motivated
shooting.
F
He
had
first
unsuccessfully
attempted
to
enter
First
Baptist
Church
a
predominantly
black
church
nearby,
then
on
October
27th,
a
man
with
an
ar-15
opened
fire
in
eights
hyeme
synagogue
in
the
Squirrel
Hill
neighborhood
of
Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania
in
an
explicitly
anti-semitic
attack
on
a
community.
In
the
midst
of
Shabbat,
prayers,
killing,
11
people
and
wounding
six
more,
we
will
read
the
names
of
the
victims
of
these
murders,
followed
by
a
moment
of
silence.
We
mourn
the
victims
of
last
week's
racially
motivated
shooting
in
Kentucky
Vicki.
A
M
L

A
P
I
A
The
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
The
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us
in
the
first
name.

of
our
agenda
I'll
see
if
there
are
any
amendments
from
Council
members
to

which
I
will

B

with
that
Madam
President
I
move
items
one
through
three
and
five
through
15
for
approval.
A
O
You,
madam
president,
I'd
like
to
make
a
comment
on
item
number
two
and
that's
about
the
ordinance
for
spacing
requirements
that
we
couldn't
do.
I
want
to
just
give
some
context
here
that
back
in
2014,
the
city
began
a
coordinated
effort
to
clean
up
some
outdated
language
about
alcohol
regulations
from
our
city
charter.
Some
of
you
will
recall
this
included
eliminating
the
70/30
and
6040
rules.
Since
then,
we've
seen
that
the
elimination
of
the
these
Prohibition
era
rules
didn't
have
any
negative
impacts
on
patrons
or
our
neighbors.
O
So
with
that
in
mind,
I
feel
it's
important
to
move
forward
with
eliminating
these
outdated
and
burdensome
restrictions
from
our
city's
Constitution.
Voters
will
get
to
make
that
decision
next
Tuesday,
but
the
the
choice
is
about
treating
liquor
differently
from
wine
and
beer.
So
by
requiring
businesses
to
be
located
within
seven
contiguous
acres
of
commercial
zoning,
we
unfairly
limit
business
models
and
limit
access
to
only
a
small
percentage
to
our
overall
City.
So
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
the
Charter
changed
that
voters
get
to
vote
on
next.
O
Tuesday
really
helps
to
increase
the
opportunities
for
existing
and
potential.
Small
business
owners
to
plan
for
liquor
is
a
part
of
their
economic
planning.
It
expands
opportunities
previously
limited
in
places
like
North
Minneapolis.
It
increases
the
profit
margin
potential
small
businesses
in
our
city.
O
It
removes
a
costly
and
counterintuitive
process
for
getting
an
exemption
through
the
Minnesota
State
Legislature
to
serve
liquor
in
an
establishment
that
wasn't
in
a
commercial
district
of
the
right
size
and
it
potentially
saves
businesses
thousands
of
dollars
that
would
need
to
be
spent
on
lobbyists
to
help
them
navigate
the
state
system
to
obtain
an
exemption.
So
our
small
business
team
is
poised
and
ready
to
have
updated
and
streamlined
procedures.
O
This
measure,
this
item
number
two
helps
us
to
have
all
of
the
ordinances
in
place
to
make
this
change
seamless,
so
I
hope
this
gives
comfort
to
many
of
Alton's.
As
we
head
into
election
day
on
this
specific
initiative,
it
seems
unusual
that
we
have
to
do
it
this
way
through
a
referendum,
but
that
was
the
opinion
of
our
Charter
Commission
and
the
legal
advice
that
they've
received
so
I
especially
appreciate
the
support
on
this.
O
M
I
wanted
to
thank
councilmember
Palmisano
for
your
leadership
and
and
just
voice.
My
support
for
the
passages
ordinance
as
well.
I
also
wanted
to
commend
and
thank
councilmember
Cunningham
for
his
work
on
the
kind
of
compromises
ordinance,
which
is
traditionally
been
an
ordinance
I.
Think
that
has
criminalized
a
lot
of
our
neighbors,
especially
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
neighbors,
who
have
been
prone
to
interactions
with
the
police
and
I.
M
L
You
councilman,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
speak
to
item
number
five.
The
conduct
on
licensed
premises,
ordinance
I,
want
to
make
sure
I
say
thank
you
to
the
I-team.
Jonathan
and
Elliot
were
Co
project
managers
with
my
senior
policy
advisor
Sam
priest
ensign,
so
I
just
wanna,
make
sure
I
say
thank
you
because
this
was
a
very
robust
body
of
work.
This
is
an
example
of
the
public
health
approach
to
Public
Safety,
so
this
isn't
just
amendment
or
amendments
to
an
ordinance.
This
is
also
procedural
change.
L
L
This
is
an
ongoing
body
of
work.
It's
living
we're
learning
because
we're
at
the
front
end
of
this
work,
there's
at
least
sixty
other
cities
that
have
ordinances
like
the
conduct
on
licensed
premises
and
they
have
all
disproportionately
harmed
poor
black
and
brown
folks,
and
so
we
are
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
here
to
be
able
to
address
challenges
while
holding
folks
accountable,
but
also
protecting
the
most
vulnerable
renters.
L
And
in
this
process
we
have
engaged
dang
near
everybody
that
we
could
that
we
have
lots
of
perspectives
at
the
table
with
this
and
as
we
move
forward,
we're
going
to
be
growing
and
developing
our
interpret
interdisciplinary
review
panel,
which
is
going
to
be
really
the
crux
of
the
change,
but
we're
gonna
be
working
on
that
moving
forward
and
so
stay
tuned.
It's
a
living
body
of
work,
like
I,
said
we
have
the
quality
assurance
in
it.
L
That's
going
to
help
us
make
sure
that
we
are
continuously
revealing
and
continuously
making
sure
that
we
are
producing
high-quality
work
here
at
the
city.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
who
was
involved
with
it.
I
get
the
accolades,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
shine
some
light
on
the
many
many
people
who
were
involved
in
this
as
well.
So
thank
you.
L
A
You
I
also
just
want
to
comment
briefly
on
this
item
number
five
and
really
come
in
councilmember
Cunningham,
for
this
exemplary
work
from
a
first
term
councilmember
in
the
first
year
in
office.
This
is
an
ordinance
that
is
transformational
for
the
most
vulnerable
renters
in
our
city
and
I.
Think
in
part,
because
it
creates
a
new
philosophy
of
how
we're
looking
at
rental
housing
in
our
city.
A
Cunningham's
leadership
has
been
really
important
in
this
one
ordinance,
but
also
in
this
overall
movement
toward
balancing
creating
safety
and
stability
in
our
neighborhoods,
with
making
sure
that
we're
supporting
the
most
vulnerable,
low-income
renters
in
our
city
and
I
think
particularly
the
process
that
was
used
here
was
really
creative
and
the
solutions.
I
think
I
really
have
a
lot
of
buy-in
from
all
the
different
partners
who
were
involved
so
excellent,
excellent
work.
Is
there
any
other
discussion
on
these
items
on
the
e
VRS
committee?
Seeing
none
clerk,
please
call
the
roll
sounds.
B
You,
madam
president,
a
DRS
item,
number
four
has
a
substitute
motion
in
front
of
you
today.
The
reason
why
there's
a
substitute
in
front
of
everybody
today
is
that
we
had
a
very
fulsome
public
hearing
during
the
last
cycle
and
wanted
to
be
able
to
take
the
comments
of
those
who
spoke
for
and
against
our
advanced
notice
initiative.
We
have
made
a
number
of
changes
you
can
see.
They
have
been
underlined
in
the
draft
in
front
of
you.
B
J
You
comes
the
president.
I
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
my
staff.
Who's
worked
on.
This
is
also
a
former
councilmember
Glidden
who
started
a
lot
of
this
work
and
really
take
a
moment
to
to
thank
councilmember
Goodman
for
all
of
her
work
on
this.
It
really
has
indeed
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you
on
this.
It
has
been.
This
is
something
that
came
together.
I
would
be
remiss
to
not
thank
the
advocates,
as
well
as
the
the
landlord
associations.
J
This
was
hard
work
and
I
believe
we
have
something
that
will
hopefully
preserve
or
keep
more
affordable
housing
in
affordable
and
actually
change
the
market
and
change
how
things
operate
here
in
Minneapolis
I'm,
very
proud
to
be
a
part
of
a
council
that
that's
that's
the
focus
of
how
are
we
going
to
keep
more
housing
kind
of
in
the
affordable
range,
and
how
do
we
create
more
I
believe
this
will
starting
to
get
us
there
so
with
that
I
hope
to
have
your
approval
and
I'll
stay
on
first
other
questions.
Thank.
B
Never
forget
the
day
when
I
get
the
call
from
the
residents
that
they
had
no
idea
that
their
building
was
for
sale
and
there's
a
notice,
that's
posted.
That
tells
them
that
they
have
to
be
out
within
30
days
and
I
will
never
forget
the
day
that
that
happened
in
my
war,
Jill
building
across
the
street,
from
where
I
lived,
where
people
were
asked
to
leave
on
December
25th.
B
Hopefully
this
ordinance
will
protect
tenants
in
a
way
that
they
will
never
have
to
come
home
to
find
out
that
their
home
is
not
their
home
anymore
and
that
they
need
to
move
in
very
short
order
to
into
a
market
place
where
there
are
very
few
other
options
and
have
the
upheaval
of
having
to
change
their
whole
life
around
with
a
very
short
period
of
time.
This
advanced
notice
of
sale
is
different
than
the
ones
that
have
been
approved
in
the
suburbs,
because
our
advanced
notice
of
sale
actually
includes
advance
notice.
B
So
half
of
this
ordinance
suggests
that
when
building
owners
are
putting
their
building
on
the
market,
and/or
even
talking
to
people
about
putting
their
building
on
the
market,
they
notify
the
city
as
well
as
their
tenants,
with
a
notification
that
we
will
provide
in
multiple
languages
to
alert
folks
that
their
building
might
be
for
sale.
That's
the
part
of
the
ordinance
that
none
of
the
other
suburbs
have
implemented
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
but
to
me
there
is
no
such
thing
as
advanced
notice.
B
If
there
is
no
advance
notice,
the
second
portion
of
our
language
is
a
tenant
protection
piece.
This
tenant
protection
piece
essentially
says
that
for
a
three-month
period
after
the
sale,
you
cannot
be
evicted
without
cause.
Your
rent
cannot
go
up
and
you
should
not
be
forced
to
leave
for
other
conditions.
This
piece
of
the
ordinance
will
also
be
notified
to
all
tenants
in
multiple
languages
in
the
building's
after
a
sale.
This
would
give
tenants,
in
our
mind,
a
minimum
of
five
months,
which
is
better
than
what
we've
seen
happening
up
until
now.
B
It
has
been
very
difficult
to
get
everybody
to
come
together
to
figure
out
what
we
can
do.
That
will
not
raise
the
ire
of
those
very
good
property
owners
who
treat
their
tenants
respectfully
and
don't
want
additional
regulation,
but
at
the
same
time,
what
we
see
from
tenant
advocates
that
we
work
with
about
how
negatively
some
tenants
have
been
treated
in
the
sale
process.
So
I'm
really
happy
that
we're
bringing
this
forward
today
with
an
implementation
date
of
early
next
year.
B
I
also
want
to
just
take
an
opportunity
to
thank
councilmember
Glidden
who
worked
on
this
in
her
remaining
five
months
since
she
left,
but
a
really
big.
Thank
you
to
councilmember
Schrader,
who
picked
up
where
she
left
off
and
gave
it
110
percent
in
terms
of
his
thinking
and
previous
experience,
to
help
make
this
ordinance
balanced
and
fair
and
something
that
will
help
tenants
without
insinuating
that
property
owners
are
bad
all
over
the
time.
B
Hopefully,
this
ordinance
will
make
a
change
in
the
lives
of
people
so
that
no
one
else
on
this
Dyess
will
have
to
take
that
call
from
someone
they
know
or
don't
know
someone
they
live
near
or
live
far
from
who
is
calling
our
office
because
they
will
be
out
of
their
apartment
in
very
short
order,
due
to
nothing
that
they
had
to
do
with
I'm
really
excited
about
this
work.
I
think
it's
extremely
forward-thinking
and
I
would
appreciate
everyone's
support.
A
A
These
are
families
with
small
children
in
our
schools,
and
it
is
incredibly
disruptive
and
there's
only
so
much
that
we
can
do
even
if
we
drop
everything
as
council
members
and
work
together
with
organized
like
home
line
and
Inca
Latinos
Unidos
for
East
Asia
and
mid
Minnesota
legal
aid
who
have
been
tirelessly
working
to
try
to
protect
our
renters.
But
our
state
laws
are
some
of
the
worst
in
the
country
for
people.
In
this
situation.
A
Of
facing
eviction
or
being
forced
out
of
their
home,
and
so
I'm
really
appreciative
of
the
leadership
of
councilmembers,
Glidden
and
now
Goodman
and
Schrader,
to
bring
this
a
very,
very
important
protection
forward.
We
are
seeing
buildings
being
sold
all
across
our
city
very,
very
quickly,
and
people
have
basically
no
notification
that
they're
losing
their
homes
and
I
also
just
want
to
highlight
two
that
I
mean
I.
A
Think
we
hear
a
lot
about
the
great
work
that's
happening
in
the
communities
around
us,
but
I
am
really
proud
and
thankful
that
our
colleagues
have
brought
us
the
stronger
ordinance.
It
took
a
lot
of
I
think
negotiation
and
pushing
it
back
and
forth.
But
this
is
an
ordinance
that
I
think
will
have
a
lot
of
meaningful
impact
for
renters
across
the
city.
I
see
councillor
Gordon.
D
Thank
you
very
much.
I
also
wanted
to
voice
my
support
for
this
and
I
wanted
to
emphasize
one
aspect
in
particular.
In
addition
to
the
tenant
protections,
I
think
that
advance
notice
will
give
us
a
hope
of
addressing
one
of
the
big
problems
we've
been
seeing
lately,
where
we
have
affordable
housing,
that's
providing
homes
for
people
and
then
it
gets
sold
and
what
happens
is
it
then
gets
rehabbed
lightly?
D
The
the
rents
go
way
up
and
we
lose
a
block
of
affordable
housing
if
we
have
advance
notice
of
the
sale
that
will
give
people
an
opportunity
to
get
involved
in
purchasing
that
who
might
want
to
retain
that?
Affordability
of
that
property
and
I
think
that's
very
significant
and
I'm,
hoping
that
this
will
be
a
first
step
where
we
can
see
how
we
can
do
a
better
job
of
preserving.
D
What
we
already
have
is
what
we,
the
so-called
naturally
occurring,
affordable
housing,
because
someone
will
have
an
opportunity
to
purchase
it
and
maintain
the
rents
where
they
are
and
potentially
keep
the
same.
Tenants
there
as
well,
so
I
think
that's
really
promising
exciting
to
see
this
come
forward.
I
think
this
has
a
potential
to
be
a
real
game-changer
in
terms
of
preventing
displacement,
as
well
as
just
protecting
the
rights
of
respectful,
renters.
J
You
we
hope
this
is
a
game-changer.
What
what
really
interested
me
is
that
you
know
we
see
these
naturally
occurring,
affordable,
housing
flip
and
it's
just
happening
more
and
more
frequently
in
all
parts
of
the
city,
and
the
issue
is
that
there
just
isn't
a
market
response.
There's
really
no
way
that
the
the
nonprofit
or
for-profit
developers
that
are
care
about,
affordable
housing
can
take
advantage
of
it
and
jump
in
they
just
can't
compete
with
the
pace
of
the
market.
So
you'll
get
these.
J
A
Thank
you
and
then
before
calling
the
roll
I'll
just
add
one
last
thing,
which
is
I'm,
also
really
excited
about
some
conversations
that
many
of
us
are
having
about
how
to
help
get
more
legal
protection
for
renters
in
the
court
system.
So,
like
many
of
our
other
protections
that
are
either
coming
through
or
being
contemplated,
the
enforcement
mechanism
is
really
in
the
courts
and
we
know
that
when
renters
have
legal
representation
in
the
courts,
they
have
much
better
outcomes.
A
So
a
number
of
us
are
working
together
with
partners
from
Hennepin
County
and
in
the
foundation
community
to
try
to
put
together
more
resources
for
low-income
renters
to
have
the
right
to
counsel
when
they
are
in
courts.
So
with
that
I'll
see,
if
anyone
else
has
comments
or
thoughts
and
I
see,
none
I'll
ask
her
to
please
call
the
roll.
P
A
D
You
very
much
president
bender
there's
ten
items
of
the
housing
policy
and
development
coming
forward.
The
first
seven
are
land
sales,
the
first
four
land
sales
are
to
the
greater
metropolitan
Housing
Corporation
of
properties
of
2418
Girard
Avenue,
North,
25:43,
Girard,
Avenue,
North,
26:35,
Girard,
Avenue,
north
and
36
38
north.
The
fifth
item
is
a
land
sale
at
4901,
Vincent
Avenue
north
to
harvest
Management.
Group
sixth
item
is
another
land
sale.
D
That's
at
812,
36th,
Avenue,
North
to
Jenny,
Investments
LLC
and
the
last
land
sale
is
at
32,
57,
Logan
Avenue
north
to
quaint
investment
LLC,
and
this
is
all
sales
for
homes
to
be
built
there.
It
will
then
be
sold
and
lived
in.
The
eighth
item
is
approving
appropriation
of
program
income
generated
through
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development.
This
is
income
of
six
hundred
ninety-two
thousand
dollars.
Now.
The
ninth
item
is
approving
two
grants
out
of
our
emergency
solutions
grant
capital
funding
program.
D
The
first
is
to
the
Salvation
Army's
Harbor,
light
Center
and
that's
for
two
hundred
and
ninety
nine
thousand
dollars,
and
the
second
is
to
a
new
pilot
initiative
to
expand
single
adult
case
management
capacity
with
a
bridge,
and
this
is
for
ninety
nine
thousand
dollars.
May
10th
and
last
item
from
the
committee
is
passage
of
authorization
for
a
new
expanded
Minneapolis
for
the
affordable
housing
incentive
program,
based
on
our
pilot
and
I'd
like
to
speak
briefly
on
the
tenth
item.
If
I
may
go.
D
Just
know
that
4d
might
be
meaningless
to
a
lot
of
people,
and
this
is
actually
I
think
a
fairly
significant
and
exciting
thing
that
we're
doing.
We
had
a
smaller
pilot
program
that
we
tested
out
this
year
and
we
saw
as
part
of
the
pilot
program
qualified
building
owners
who
agreed
to
keep
rents
down
to
affordable
levels,
at
least
20%
of
their
units
down
to
an
affordable
level
at
people
who
are
making
60%
of
area
median
income,
and
they
received
a
40%
property
tax
reduction
on
those
qualifying
units.
D
There
were
270
units
to
participated,
it
went
successfully,
people
wanted
to
do
it
and
we
saw
this
as
an
opportunity
to
help
landlords
keep
rents
low
or
at
least
reward
those
who
might
even
be
doing
it
anyway,
with
the
new
expanded
program,
we're
moving
it
down
so
that
it
will
cover
rental
property
as
low
as
two
units.
So
duplex
all
the
way
up.
People
can
apply
for
this
program
and
it
will
have
the
potential
to
preserve
affordability.
D
Estimates
are
between
seven
hundred
and
one
thousand
five
hundred
units
in
2019
and
that's
exciting,
and
we
can
get
that
ten-year
commitment
and
I.
Think
it
benefits
that
the
landlords,
of
course,
but
also
the
tenants.
So
hopefully
we
can
push
it
right
up
against
that.
One
thousand
five
hundred
Thank.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
also
want
to
speak
to
item
number
ten
go
ahead.
There
is
nothing
better
than
having
something
you've
worked
on,
be
so
successful
that
it
can
be
expanded
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
Andrea,
Brennan
and
Dean
and
her
team
for
the
incredible
work
that
they
did
on
a
very
timely
basis.
When
we
came
in
with
the
four
d
pilot
project,
the
state
of
Minnesota
was
only
willing
to
give
us
a
certain
number
of
units
that
we
would
be
able
to
test
to
see
if
it
worked
over.
B
200
units
were
part
of
the
test,
and
it
worked
extremely
well
so
much
so
that
we
had
enough
data
to
be
able
to
make
a
determination
as
to
how
to
expand
it
going
forward
and
right
now
is
the
time
for
property
owners
to
pay
attention.
This
really
dovetails
nicely
with
our
advanced
notice
regulations,
because
these
are
the
buildings
that
could
actually
benefit
from
four
D.
B
So
I'm
really
excited
often
you're
here
a
long
time.
You
never
get
to
see
the
results
of
anything
you've
done
in
this
particular
situation.
The
4t
program
has
been
so
positive
and
successful
that
all
of
us
are
getting
to
see
something
we
voted
on
become
successful
and
expanded.
That
is
the
gratifying
work
of
helping
renters
in
the
city,
as
well
as
helping
people
keep
their
homes
affordable.
H
H
Property
owners
that
rent
to
renters
in
our
community
and
so
I'm
really
happy
to
support
that.
I
also
wanted
to
question
item
number
nine,
and
that
is
the
emergency
services
grant.
That
is
being
offered
to
emergency
solutions,
grant
to
the
Salvation
Army
Harbor
light
Center
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there
are
opportunities
to.
A
D
D
I
A
Can
offer
my
perspective
having
served
on
the
board
of
heading
home
Hennepin,
which
is
our
partnership
with
Hennepin,
County
and
other
partners
around
serving
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
and
we
have
five
operators
of
single
adult
shelter
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
They
are
all
independently
run,
but
contracted
they
contracted
with
the
county.
They
can't
talk
County
contracts
with
them
to
provide
that
service.
These
two
grants
are
part
of
our.
As
you
can
see
under
the
item.
Nine.
Our
emergency
solutions
grant
capital
funding.
A
A
I'm,
forgetting
the
name
of
the
the
bridge
for
youth
to
help
expand
their
kitchen,
which
is
allowing
them
to
serve
a
different
population
and
expanded
population.
So
that
was
the
majority.
The
discussion
we
had
I
think
if
there
are
concerns
and
questions
about
any
particular
operation
of
a
shelter.
That's
some
certainly
something
we
can
take
to
that
coalition
and
in
conversations
with
the
county
and
the
operators
directly.
F
F
L
A
Thank
you
so
mr.
Clark,
then
I
will
take
this
back
as
items
one
through
ten,
as
previously
moved
by
the
chair.
I
will
just
I,
don't
see
anyone
else
in
queue
to
make
comments.
I
do
want
to
briefly
speak
to
item
10
as
well,
and
think
House
member
Goodman
for
her
leadership
on
really
accelerating
this
program
in
our
city.
I'm
really
excited
about
this
for
a
lot
of
reasons,
but
one
is
because
I
think
it
gives
us
a
tool
to
support
our
local
landlords.
P
P
A
L
You,
madam
president,
the
public
health,
environment,
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee
will
it
brings
forward.
Four
items
were
approval
today.
The
first
is
the
passage
of
an
of
the
small
and
underutilized
business
enterprise
program,
ordinance,
updating
VADs
with
the
procedures
for
administration
and
amending
the
sunset
date
of
the
program,
and
the
second
component
of
that
is
also
directing
the
City
Attorney's
Office
to
analyze,
whether
whether
that's
for
minority
within
this
particular
ordinance
is
necessary
and
then
thinking
about
how
we
can
use
more
asset
based
language.
L
The
number
three
is
the
passage
of
the
resolution:
restructuring
the
Minneapolis
community,
environmental
Advisory,
Commission
and
number
four
is
authorizing
a
name
change
of
the
Calhoun
area
residents,
action
group
to
neighbors
neighborhood
to
the
South
Uptown
neighborhood
I,
move
approval
of
these
items
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
I.
A
All
those
note
very
briefly
that
I
want
to
offer
my
things
and
the
leadership
to
the
folks
who
led
the
formerly
Kara
neighborhood
through
their
name
change,
and
it
was
small
but
way
for
them
to
voice
support
for
us
removing
some
really
painful
pieces
of
our
history,
and
so
the
south
uptown
neighborhood
is
their
new
name
and
I.
Think
it's
really
really
reflective
of
the
way
that
that
neighborhood
organization
strives
to
be
inclusive
of
all
of
our
neighbors
in
the
city.
P
A
G
You,
madam
president,
and
today
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee
is
bringing
forward
eight
items
for
consideration
by
the
full
council
I
even
item
number.
One
is
an
agreement
between
the
Minneapolis

big
fish
entertainment
to
record
Minneapolis
Fire
Department
personnel

a
television

titled
the
first
responders
live
item
number

could
be

Training
item
number
three
is
a
donation

repurposed
heavy-duty
tactical

G
Number

and
lodging
expenses
for
the
New
York
State
Division
of
Criminal
Justice
Services
symposium
item
number
five:
is
it
another
donation
for
travel
and
lodging
expenses
for
the
Special
Olympics
of
Minnesota
law
enforcement?
Torch
Run
planning
item
number:
six
is
a
nine
on
one
director
survey
and
staff
direction.
Number
seven
is
a
contract
with
infinity
Wireless
for
two-way
radio,
airtime,
trunking
services
and
item
eight
is
a
contract
amendment
with
the
Hennepin
County
regarding
the
Hennepin
County
Jail
and
resolution
tonight
bring
those
and
sword-cut.
O
You,
madam
chair,
you
know
something
that
was
discussed
at
public
safety
at
length.
This
cycle,
but
but
isn't
here
because
it
was
simply
received
and
filed,
was
our
third
quarter
report
and
it
was
quite
a
fulsome
report
on
our
body
camera
program
metrics,
and
that
is
such
a
big
change
from
where
we
were
last
year.
This
report
gets
more
and
more
detailed
and
officers
have
had
more
time
to
get
used
to
the
body,
worn
cameras
as
a
routine
part
of
their
work.
O
So,
whilst
the
percentage
of
compliance
at
this
point
in
time
from
the
third
quarter
report
shows
83%
use,
it
is
a
market
improvement
from
where
we
were
last
year.
At
this
time,
although
not
last
quarter,
I
also
thought
it
was
interesting
because
it's
important
that
we're
getting
better
at
seeing
where
the
remaining
barriers
are
to
usage,
we're
at
that
higher
level
of
refinement
in
our
program
and
that's
exciting.
O
I
know
that
our
next
step
from
commander
Grainger's,
that
will
be
focusing
on
low
performers
and
that
low
performer
threshold
will
be
70%
of
compliance
with
policy
or
below,
which
is
far
higher
than
what
we
knew
just
one
year
ago,
was
the
average
rate
for
all
for
all
of
these
devices.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
how
committed
we
are,
and
we
remain
as
a
City
Council
to
furthering
the
efforts
of
improved
body
camera
policies
in
improving
the
compliance
around
those
policies.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

Calcineurin.
N
You,
madam
chair,
just
to
comment
on
item
number
16
I
wanted
to
make
my
colleagues
aware
in
committee
when
we
ask
the
question
to
staff,
how
Trump's
tariffs
on
steel
have
affected
this
material
purchase
they
estimated
throughout
the
cost
of
our
new
office
building.
It
is
increased
the
cost
of
taxpayers
of
approximately
2
by
approximately
2
million
dollars,
and
we
are
not
the
only
ones
suffering
as
a
result
of
this
poorly
thought-out
policy
and
trade
war
at
the
as
a
result
of
the
Trump
administration.
You
know:
I've
talked
with
the
park,
commissioner,
as
well.
N
Who's
expressed
that
they
are
actually
scaling
back
their
plans
as
a
result
of
these
increased
prices.
So
I
didn't
want
to
bring
this
attention,
bring
attention
to
this
by
my
colleagues,
because
it's
really
disappointing
that
this
is
directly
taking
away
from
plans
in
our
city,
that
it
is
costing
our
taxpayers
more
money
and,
frankly,
that
across
this
nation,
it's
increasing
costs
to
the
public
by
billions
of
dollars.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
P
A
A
A
H
You,
madam
president,
the
executive
committee
bring
forth
two
items
today.
One
is
the
plant
position
and
Public
Works,
the
Deputy
Director
of
Public
Works
business
administration.
Item
number:
two
is
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
with
construction
equipment
operators,
unit
I,
move
both
these
items
for
referral
to
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
Council.
P
A
Those
items
are
approved,
the
next
order
of
business
is
the
notices
of
ordinance
introductions
and
we
have
two
notices
being
given.
The
first
is
from
council
member
Gordon.
We
have
been
noticed
to
introduce
at
the
next
regular
meeting
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
housing
code
related
to
the
removal
of
invasive
invasive
tree
species
and
second
councilmember
Schrader
and
Gordon,
give
notice
of
intent
to
introduce
at
the
next
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Council
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
amending
the
code
related
to
residential
energy
disclosures.
A
Are
there
any
questions
on
those
notices?
I
don't
see
any
so
those
notices
are
given
and
no
further
action
is
required.
The
next
order
of
business
is
consideration
of
the
introductions
and
referrals
calendar,
and
we
have
four
introductions
today.
First,
pursuant
to
notice,
councilmember
bar
Sammy
moves
to
introduce,
give
first
reading
to
and
refer
to,
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
related
to
the
competitive
bidding
thresholds,
to
bring
the
city's
regulations
into
alignment
with
state
law
and
to
also
apply
these
updated
regulations
to
the
small
and
underutilized
business
enterprise
program.
A
Second,
pursuant
to
notice
councilmember
Goodman
moves
to
introduce,
if
first
reading
to
and
refer
to
economic
development
and
regulatory
Services
Committee
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
related
to
the
administrative
issuance
of
various
licenses
covering
a
series
of
multiple
chapters
which
are
shown
on
the
agenda.
Third,
we
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
Schrader
to
introduce
and
give
read
first
reading
and
refer
to
the
zoning
and
planning
committee,
the
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
related
to
lap
combinations
in
lower
density
zoning
districts,
which
was
not
previously
noticed
and
therefore
require
unanimous
consent.
A
And
fourth,
we
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
Cunningham
to
introduce
get
first
reading
to
and
refer
to,
the
public
health
environment
in
civil
rights
and
engagement
committee.
The
subject
matter
of
an
ordinance
related
to
the
proposed
creation
of
a
new
office
of
violence
prevention,
which
was
not
previously
noticed,
and
therefore
we
also
require
unanimous
consent
and
I
see
in
cucumber
kana.
G
It's
it's
really
an
open
call,
an
invitation
to
say
how
can
we
do
this
together?
How
can
we
examine
things
that
we
haven't
looked
at
before
in
terms
of
strategies,
programs,
initiatives,
I
know
that
oftentimes
when
there's
incidents
like
this,
you
know
I've
personally
gone
to
door,
knock
in
the
neighborhood,
where
it's
happened,
to
get
information
from
community
members
and
and
typically
I.
G
You
know
it
do
do
a
partnership
with
MPD
on
those
efforts
and,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
we
need
to
do
something
bigger
and
broader
around
things
like
that
where
we
bring
community
together,
but
certainly
my
my
time
and
energy
is
thinking
a
lot
about
this
I.
Don't
have
a
specific,
clear
solution
right
now,
but
wanted
to
really
take
this
moment
to
highlight
that
we
know
this
is
happening.
There's
things
that
we
can
do.
A
P
Madam
President
with
apologies-
this
is
a
technical
correction.
The
prior
notice
was
given
in
the
last
council
meeting
for
this.
However,
it
did
not
include
chapter
five,
nine
eight.
So
this
is
a
technical
correction,
only
to
open
up
that
chapter
and
give
notice
to
be
included
with
the
prior
notice
that
was
given
with
apologies.
It
was
missed
in
the
clerk's
office,
so
this
isn't
just
procedurally
making
sure
that
we
open
that
chapter
and
give
notice.
Thank.
A
You
for
the
correction
and
I'll
just
note,
then
that
I'll
add
myself
as
an
author
as
I
did
to
the
previous
notification,
so
this
would
be
noticed
by
councilmember
Schrader
and
myself
too,
the
details
of
that
that
are
corrected
in
this
agenda.
So
that
gives
us
the
four
items.
Is
there
any
other
discussion
or
questions
on
the
for
introductions?
I,
don't
see
any
so
I'll.
Just
note
too
that
items
3,
&
4
do
require
unanimous
consent,
so
I
will
start
with
a
voice
vote.
A
But
if
there's
any
confusion,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll.
So
all
in
favor
of
those
four
introductions,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Those
carry
and
I'll
forward
have
been
made.
The
subject
matters
will
be
referred
to
the
proper
committees
in
the
next
cycle.
As
indicated
on
the
agenda,
the
next
order
of
business
is
resolutions,
and
we
have
three
honorary
resolutions
today.
First
is
the
honorary
resolution
declaring
Tuesday
November
6
to
be
election
judge
appreciation
day
and
we're
getting
ready
for
election
day.
We
were
so
thankful
to
our
judges.
A
Second,
is
the
honorary
resolution
commemorating
the
Armistice
days
and
intent
centennial
and
finally,
the
honor
is
our
honorary
resolution
expressing
our
support
and
thanks
to
NOAA
Shakman
for
his
service
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
best
wishes
to
his
success
as
the
new
chief
administrative
officer
for
the
city
of
Duluth.
Are
there
any
comments
from
Council
members
on
those
resolutions
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no
that
carries
and
all
and
honorary
resolutions
have
been
adopted
under
the
order
of
unfinished
business.
A
We
have
several
rental
dwelling
licenses
that
were
postponed
for
the
last
regular
meeting
pending
a
resolution
to
outstanding
issues
regarding
those
licenses,
and
so
we
need
to
continue
this
item
again.
So
I'll
drop
the
clerk
to
retain
those
matters
as
unfinished
business
on
the
agenda
under
new
business,
we
have
a
resolution
that
was
presented
to
correct
errors
in
a
prior
action
related
to
applications
from
various
projects
under
the
Metropolitan
Council
tax
base.
A
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
announce
a
statement
that
was
developed
by
myself:
councilmember
Cunningham
and
school
board,
member
Jacqueline
Ryan
in
South,
Bridge
Massachusetts,
and
it's
a
statement
in
support
of
the
transgender
community
in
response
to
the
HHS
and
our
current
administration's.
H
Proposal
to
erase
transgender
identity
from
all
language
and
support
from
the
federal
government,
and
so
the
statement
reads,
we
write
to
you
as
three
trans
elected
leaders,
who
are
being
told
by
the
President
of
the
United
States
that
we
don't
exist.
This
is
personal
for
us,
it's
enraging
beyond
words,
and
we
need
your
support
to
fight.
Back.
Last
week
we
learned
that
the
Trump
administration
is
trying
to
erase
the
very
existence
of
transgender
gender
non-conforming
and
non-binary
people.
H
They
are
attempting
to
redefine
gender
as
unchangeable
at
birth,
based
solely
on
perceived
sexual
anatomy,
genetic
testing
and
original
gender
markers
on
birth
certificates.
This
is
an
attack
on
our
communities.
It
is
grossly
incorrect
science
and
it
is
a
part
of
a
broader
campaign
to
further
roll
back
the
progress
that
was
made
in
recent
years
under
the
Obama
administration.
While
it
is
not
immediately
clear
what
the
impact
of
this
proposal
will
have,
the
potential
consequences
are
staggering.
Although
there
are
no,
there
is
no
one
place
that
six
is
currently
defined.
H
Transgender
people
already
experience
rampant
discrimination
to
the
health
care
system.
As
a
result,
a
transgender
person
could
experience
discrimination
and
be
refused
for
medical
treatment
and
could
also
impact
trans
people's
ability
to
get
needed.
Gender
affirming
medical
treatments
covered
by
insurance
doctors
had
expressed
serious
concerns
about
this
proposals,
implications
for
the
future
of
trans
medical
care.
The
memo
also
has
significant
potential
consequences
for
school-aged
children,
where
the
narrow
definition
could
impact
students,
access
to
locker
rooms
and
bathrooms,
a
significant
issue
that
has
far-reaching
impacts
on
their
safety
and
learning
outcomes.
H
So,
as
elected
leaders,
you
are
on
the
front
lines
of
protecting
people
against
state
and
federal
attacks
like
this
one,
you
can
pass
anti-discrimination
laws
and
ensure
that
requirements
for
changing
sex
classification
on
documents
from
birth
certificates
and
municipal
identification
to
licenses
are
based
on
self-identification
and
not
proof
of
medical
treatment.
We
must
stand
with
the
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
and
non-binary
communities
to
make
sure
that
they
know
we
see
them
and
we
will
do
everything
in
our
power
to
support
them.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
other
announcement
saying?
No,
no,
you
know
I
want
to
echo
something
that
I
think
council
vice-president
just
lifted
up
and
that
councillor
Fletcher
mentioned
earlier,
which
is
that
I
think
this
is
an
incredibly
challenging
time
to
be
a
local,
elected
official
and
I
often
have
been
meetings
and
I.
Look
up
and
I
see
the
looming
threat
of
climate
change
and
I
am
comforted
by
the
leadership
that
we
have
at
this
council
members,
Gordon
and
Reich
and
Fletcher
and
Schrader,
all
of
whom
were
critical
to
us.
